Can I Get A Refill?

Dehydration is a condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in. Many people, particularly older adults, don't feel thirsty until they're already dehydrated. That's why it's important to increase water intake during hot weather or when you're ill.
Many people are Spiritually Dehydrated and they don’t even know it.
Every day we pour of ourselves by helping others, speaking life into others and just day-to-day living but how many of us get replenished on a daily basis? Neglecting to refill leaves us dry, with less to pour out so we become less effective in our daily walk. Let’s look at the symptoms from a spiritual perspective:
Symptoms of Dehydration 
  • Extreme thirst – Dry in our Walk
  • Less frequent urination – Less to Pour Out to Others
  • Dark-colored urine – Agitated and Touchy in our interactions; pouring out tainted words/things
  • Fatigue – Just Tired, Weak and Weary
  • Dizziness – Unable to Focus on our Goals or Journey
  • Confusion – Don’t know what we doin’ half the time
This is the state that many live in but, it doesn’t have to be permanent.
There IS a Fountain…that never runs dry. A Well of Relief that is accessible to all who thirst.
You can find this Necessary Resource by picking up God’s Word and assembling yourself where Water is being poured out. Let God lead you to the Well this today…it may be in a church or it may be in front of your t.v. or radio for now but, He will lead you.
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Use your BEST Elle Varner voice today and say to God, “Can I Get a Refill” …He will respond.

2017...5777 - Year of The Sword: A Time of Separation for Preparation

As each new year approaches, I look to hear from God about what He is saying about each new season. We celebrate the "New Year" on the first day of January but in reality, the new season begins in the fall. (We will save this script for another time). At any rate, it is important that we have our ears and eyes open as to what is happening as each season approaches. There are very specific things that we must know in order to move accordingly. God may not tell us everything, but He definitely tells us what we need to know and exactly when we need to know it.

The Year of The Sword is the hour that we are in and here is what that means.

We are in a time of Great Separation with the Purpose of Preparation for the entrance of our soon coming King...Jesus. I am not privy to when Jesus will return, no one is, but what we do know is that we are closer today then we have ever been before.

The Sword according to the biblical meaning is the Word of God.





And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God - Eph 6:17

Hebrews 4:12 also tells us "For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The time has come when people are being put into their chosen categories. Either one has sided with God or they have done the opposite and chose to make an alliance with the enemy. It doesn't matter what you hear people say or how many Sunday's in a row a person goes to church, the heart of man is what is being examined and the Examiner is The Lord. No longer will those who have not turned their hearts towards God be able to walk around as if they were alive; the decay of their hearts will be very visible to those who have eyes to see. People's motives will be separated from their actions and they will be dealt with accordingly.

The church is also under warning. If you notice, I did not use an upper case "C", I used a lower cased one because I am not talking about the Body of Christ as this point...I am speaking of the building that people call a church. Within its walls is so much death. People are going in those places multiple times a week and leave the exact same way they came in and sometimes they are leaving in a worse state. Why? One reason is because the Word is not being preached. Just because the "preacher" stands there in front of you with a Bible in hand does not mean that you are getting the Word that God has for you. Watered-down truths mixed with the self-seeking performance of the "presenter" leaves people empty. The Word of God is Life...it is Strength. The Word of Man is a Band-aid and a Weak Crutch. Yes...God's Word will always do something for someone but when it is mixed with man's will and intentions, it does not go forth as God has purposed which leaves people dry. God is saying to the leaders of these "churches" to "Turn back to His Word. It is the Sword that will cut through sin, cut out hate and divide truth from error." "The mission is not to grow your membership, it is to grow the Kingdom...the True "Church".  "Pull The Sword Out".

I blogged a month ago about the 2016 Election and if you read it, it is saying a similar thing to what is being said now. God has re-established order and a standard has been raised. Along with this order come the reinforcement of it and the Word is what we are to be measuring our lives to, not what the world says--the world definition of order will cause your to stumble and fall.

The Sword is our Ruling Guide and The Sword is The Word of God. We cannot keep trying to be "politically correct" and careful with not offending others...souls are at stake. In all that we do, it must be according to God's leading and when He is at the forefront, all that we say and how we approach others will be out of Truth and Love.

The Great Separation is Now and we will begin to see it all unfold. Some have said this is the Year of Jubilee and that is true as well because, with the Sword is dividing the wealth now, not man. Restoration is bound to take place when the Word of God is active and we will see this happening at rapid speed in this new season.

I encourage you to walk into the new season with Divine Boldness...Sword in Hand and begin to live as God has called you to live. Protection has been called in place for you and Provision has positioned itself for you.

Go Forth...

The Greatest Story Ever Told

I know that Christmas is still a little ways off but the message that we get from the experience of Mary and Joseph around the time of Jesus' Birth is something that is relevant throughout the year.

 Mary was carrying life in her belly; she embodied everything that the world needed to be saved from the wages of sin. Inside of Mary was peace, joy, healing, restoration, provision, guidance, love, miracles--everything that Jesus is and would do once He stepped foot on this earth was resting on the inside of Mary. 

When it came time for her to give birth to Greatness, she first went to an inn to deliver what God had put inside of her. Mary and Joseph were told that there was "No Room at the Inn". The place where it seemed fitting to go to have adequate shelter to complete this Divine Assignment, had no vacancy. The place that seemed like it would be a safe haven for her to deliver this precious child, had no space for her. The thing that made sense to her, did not accommodate her needs. 

Did she cuss out the innkeeper? Nope. 
Did Joseph give the innkeeper a piece of his mind or resort to violence because they were turned away?  No, not that either. The Bible gives us great insight as to Mary and Joseph's attitude about being turned away--it simply says that there was no room and left it at that. 

What happens next is that God provides that space for Life to Be Born. It was not what was expected. It was the most unlikely place for such a divine experience that the world was about to realize but, it was at the same time, the Purposed Place and according to God's Will. 

This Story is now, the Greatest Story Ever Told.

Beloved...God has placed Greatness on the inside of you--a Divine Assignment. He has put in you...life...to give to the world. He himself crafted such a powerful ministry inside of you that you will bring forth into this world. Don't be concerned with who turns you away. Don't trip about who says no to you when you are trying to do the most logical thing [in your mind] to bring forth the vision. 

Understand this...if God has purposed for you to give birth to something, He will make sure that it is accomplished. It may not be according to the norm. It may be the most unlikely place, in the most unlikely circumstances, but it will be done.

If you are turned away, keep your ears and eyes open to where God is leading because that Denial that you just received will work for your good. God has set this thing up so Grand, that the rejection you receive when striving to be obedient to God's promptings, will turn out to be one of the Greatest Stories Ever Told.

Be Encouraged.

The Sound of Trump Pence (Trumpets): Don't Miss What Is Happening! [VIDEO]


Don't Miss the Message...this is much bigger than a presidential election. What we see happening in our nation today is a Wake Up Call. The chaos that we are experiencing is for a reason...God is speaking to us. Are we listening? Our president-elect is Donald Trump, the Vice President is Mike Pence, Trump Pence--Trumpets. Listen to what God is saying...



 Biblical Meaning of The Trumpet
The trumpet is a symbol of considerable consequence in the Old and New Testaments. In general, it can signify an alarm of war, a call to assemble, or a command to march (see Numbers 10:1-10).

Various end-time prophecies show that a trumpet precedes the Day of the Lord (Joel 2:1; Zechariah 9:14-16), when Jesus Christ returns as King of kings and overthrows the nations of this world, establishing the Kingdom of God on earth.
 
We are be called to assemble...the Great Separation is unfolding right before our very eyes. 

2 Thessalonians 2:2-4

The Great Apostasy
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin (lawlessness) is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

The process has began and is beginning.



The Word of God says that we don't need to be troubled about what is going on...Jesus has not come back...yet. What we must do is to recognize what time we are in and what we are to do. Don't devise your own plans to address what is happening...they won't work. The Plan is Salvation--the Gospel MUST be preached. Seek God for clear direction.

The entrance of lawlessness has come and is stronger than it has ever been before. The strength is not so much in the occurrences,the strength is in the revelation of it. Mess...crazy mess has taken place since the beginning of time, the difference now is that it is in our faces and no longer hidden.

The Separation is now. The Great Apostasy is in motion.

Wake Up and Hear what God is speaking.

Presidential Election 2016: ORDER...It's In Order and For Order!

After hearing the results of this monumental election and seeing many comments about the outcome, I cringed at what I saw. I read comments like:
"Time to get 5 jobs"
"America is going to hell"
"No more government assistance or food stamps"
"I hate life"
"This wins says that LGBT, Blacks, Muslims and other minority people don't matter"
and on and on...

After all of these words of despair, I quickly got informed about what is really happening.

This is so much more than just "Who Took Office"...what has taken place is so much bigger than what many are focusing on.

Order is the Agenda.

I hear God saying..."ORDER"...I am calling things in Order!


 Order = the arrangement or disposition of people or things in relation to each other according to a particular sequence, pattern, or method.

God, not man, is calling people and things to arrange according to His Divine Will. 

We now have our 45th Presidency...let's look at the number 45 and see what is being said to us.

45  Provision / Protection / Preservation by Yahweh
Another source says that 45 also means Preservation and 45 (40+5) means 
40 Trials; Probation; Testings 
5 Grace; God's goodness; Pentateuch (first five books)

In other words...this is a time of testing to see if we are walking according to God's Grace (Unmerited Favor) and His Goodness. The Pentateuch or the Law of God is the foundation of our Faith...
Are we walking accordingly?

We are getting back to the basics.


We, as a people, have allowed the entrance of celebrated and accepted sin into America. We have abandoned the original foundation in an attempt to build a new one. We have embraced what is not like God and we have even gone so far as to welcome it in; we have invited it with balloons, a red carpet, and a photo op. There are things that God would say are not like Him that we have determined to be "ok". There has been practices and procedures that we have decided would be good for America that God would say is not good at all.
We have also put our futures in the hands of man and turned our allegiance to the creature rather than the Creator. We trust in our government to provide for us more that we trust God. Many have simply taken a back seat in the vehicles of their lives and have allowed the "Powers that Be" to take the wheel...driving them to a place that they really don't want go be but have become too lackadaisical  to change direction. No More!

Let's get one thing really clear here...God loves all people, every last one of us! What He does not do is condone sin of ANY kind. Whether it is Idolatry, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Sloth or Greed, God says NO MORE! We no longer have permission to sin, it is no longer acceptable. The standard has been raised again; the bar has been lifted. We are being called to think higher--beyond this present realm and way of doing things--into seeking God and His Strategic Plan for our  Lives. We can no longer look to man to define, refine or supply for us, it is God and has always been God. Today, we will realize this.

We have always been a people of free will but God has always set boundaries in place so that we understand what is and is not righteous in His eyes. This doesn't mean that we can't do what we please, we absolutely can. It means that we don't get a co-signer for unrighteousness. ORDER is being re-established. We will have no other choice but to recognize God as the Source of all things.

What is it that we need to do? Glad you asked! Here are 3 simple things:

1. Connect or reconnect with God
 Learn who He is and what he means to your life.
2. Pray for His direction and His guidance.
Seek Him concerning the steps that you are to take.
3. Use the Gifts/Talents that He placed in you to live the life He has called you to.
Tap into the inner resources that he has given you. 

What God will do is be God! Provision, Protection, and Preservation is by His Power alone.


He got this...and through Him, We got this too!

The Beauty of Death


#FALL
I truly love the Fall Season,there are so many lessons to be learned through nature--one of those lessons is Death. 

This season is a rare instance when we see Death and can call it Beautiful. As the leaves turn their colors of reds, and yellows, and orange, the fact that they are actually dying escapes us. We can gaze upon loss and forget that it is supposed to be painful. We can study the passing of life with our eyes and find it to be soothing, calming and even a moment in time to be captured. We don't even give it a second thought that these leaves will never return again--this is the end of their season. 

What can we learn from this?

We can learn to appreciate the beauty of when things die in our lives.

I am not speaking of the physical death of people; I am alluding to the death of unhealthy relationships, the demise of situations that have hurt us, the loss of things that were not causing us to be productive with our lives. Sometimes we get so use to having people, places and things around us that even when it gets to a point where they no longer have a purpose or their presence is detrimental to our growth...we still want to hold on. The truth is that even if we hold on as tight as we can, it will still eventually crumble in our hands and cause us more harm. Have you ever taken a dry leaf and closed your hand around it? What happens? It crumbles. If you tighten your grip, you will only be applying pressure to your own hand, the leaf has nothing viable left to hold--its season is over. 
Let It Go.

Death of things that are out of season is a beautiful thing because it opens the door for the new to appear. We need to see the falling away of certain things and appreciate it. Forget that it is supposed to be painful and just value the transition. 

As fall season teaches us...when leaf goes, another one grows. 

Trust the process.

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao: Three Things We Can Learn


Is God's Word True? Indeed it is.

Lately I have seen this a lot and even gotta correct myself when I find myself stepping into this realm. It is ok to Brand Yourself...it is also ok to Desire The Finer Things in Life but...when or if those things become BIGGER then your God...if they Overshadow Him and cause you to think more highly of yourself...You are Living in Error and should be avoided.

Now, let's make it relevant, but...before I do I just want to say  that I am NOT passing judgement...I am merely making an observation and do not know the heart of either of the two I am about to speak upon.


Floyd Mayweather and  Manny Pacquiao

These two men have MUCH influence over the world because of the position that they are in. People listen, people pay attention but...what are they hearing? 

With Floyd...majority of the time all I hear is stuff about Money and Position. That is not all he speaks about but in general, we all know that those to things dominate the conversation. 

With Manny...the things I have heard most is his faith and the drive behind why he does what he does. 





I do not know either but one thing is for sure, they way the represent themselves is different. I am not saying that either don't talk about their faith or their source, their talent or their income but one thing is for sure...there IS a difference. 

If there is any boast...let it be in Him. If there is a Strong Love/Desire for something.. let it be for Him.

For the masses who are watching...Floyd will lead one to desire Money and Fame. Manny will lead one to desire Christ and Destiny.

Bottom Line...it's all about Motive. When we meet Him Face-to-Face...we will not be holding all the "Stuff" that we have accumulated on this Earth in our hands. Our Prestige won't matter...the applause of man will cease. What will matter is What we did for Him and Who we Brought to Him.

Many of us are building...many are pursuing their dream of being effective and perfecting their craft. But...what or better yet who is in the forefront?

What can we learn?
  1. In ALL we do...let it be for God's Glory...no matter what it is.
  2. When we are given influence, we are given a responsibility...where we lead others is a direct reflection on the Journey we are taking.
  3. Humility is the KEY to gaing God's approval...not man's

Let Us BUILD! Let Us Possess This Land...but let us do it for God's Glory.

I pray that all the Financial Increase that we obtain be used for the up building of the Kingdom. I pray that as others are drawn to us...that we would then point them to you Lord. Let Us walk in Humility and Meekness. Let Us forever be mindful of YOU Lord as Our Only Source and Supplier. Let not our gain on this Earth be superficial but something that you recognize as Real and Good. To You Be All the Glory!

In Jesus' Name...So Be It.

"Give Me Something to Work With" (VIDEO)

Many times we cry out to God in distress because it looks like He has forgotten about us. We say "Lord, DO IT...Lord FIX IT!" There are times when we need to say these words but there are other times when God says back to us..."Give Me Something to Work With."                                          Your Faith + Your Obedience = OVERFLOW
Watch this short video and you will see what I mean. Scripture Reference is:   2 Kings 4:1-7

God sees YOU, just as you are and He is very familiar with your current situation. He desires to take to from your NOW to Your Future. Trust Him enough to ACT Upon His Word when it visits you. Don't remain stuck in your moment...there IS More! 

*Anyone who watched this and/or read this and needs a little more encouragement, feel free to reach out. Love...

KNOW what we Do!

I have been studying Hinduism and found some things to be interesting. There are things that "we" as a people in general have adopted from other religions that we deem acceptable although they are rooted and grounded in the Original Beliefs/Practices of religions that we would otherwise reject.

One is YOGA. The Hindus believe that their god is FAR off somewhere and that "it" (there is no gender) provides no real revelation and that Ignorance is the Greatest Downfall of man. So, in order to gain knowledge and deeper understand...Yoga is practiced as One Form to Open the Mind, Relax the Body (or get it under control) so that your channels can be open to get knowledge from the spirit world since god or Brahma is not giving up any info.

The other thing is KARMA. Some throw that word around and don't realize that it is really of a Hindu belief system. They believe that people (or they) are reincarnated MANY times and that their karma will determine that they come back as in the next lives. So what you do in this life, will dictate what happens in the next ones...up to thousands or so lives. The Goal is to escape the life cycle by achieving Absolute Enlightenment otherwise...you just stuck.

Another interesting fact to note is that there are some schools who have adopted YOGA into a part of daily routine...HUH? What is the difference in allowing Prayer in school? They are BOTH "Religious" Practices. One is just far removed from the "stigma" of religion. Be Aware folks! 

SAINTS (those under the Blood of Jesus) Be CAREFUL as to what you practice. God knows your heart and understands that we sometimes do stuff without intent to be involved in other religions but...the Fact Is...some are.

SOWING and REAPING is our "karma"...what you put in, you will get out. You plant an apple seed, you are going to get an Apple Tree eventually.
Prayer and Meditation on the things of God in combination with assembling yourself with other saints and Studying your Bible will give you ALL the Knowledge/Wisdom..."Enlightenment" that you need. God says...if you lack wisdom...then ASK! He is not a Faraway God like others...He is NEAR cuz He knows we NEED Him in that Position.
So...just be mindful of what is practiced.

Love...

Don't Look Back!




I am reminded of a story from history about a woman who looked back. She was so concerned about what she had left behind that she could not resist the temptation to take a look. Even though she knew she was going to a place of FREEDOM...she still longed for what was before...she was curious about the ground she once stood on. What happened to her? She became stagnant...she was turned into a pillar of salt; Good enough for flavor but stagnant.

What is it that has captured your focus?  What is it that you have left behind that you are STILL concerned with? What is the thing that has you in a stagnant state?

Let me help you beloved...There is NO-THING that God has delivered you from that you need to return to. Even to survey it is counter-productive and paralyzing.

The woman I am speaking of is not only Lot's wife during the time that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed but it is anyone who looks back. The place that once was...is corrupted  and God wants to free you from that environment, looking back tells Him that you're not ready.

What have you been delivered from? [pause and reflect] Do you WANT to go back to it?
IF you had stayed in it...you would have died...NOW that you are free to live...WHY take interest?

God has a plan for you and will do what is necessary in your life for you to fulfill your destiny. IF you would like to remain in destruction...then remain. But IF you have been provided a way out that take full advantage of the opportunity!

TODAY...STAY FOCUSED ON THE PATH AHEAD and DON'T LOOK BACK! There is SO MUCH ahead so don't miss what has been Left Behind!

MOVE ALONG with Head Straightened...and Eyes Focused.

The Holy Spirit...Who Is HE?


Do You Know the Holy Spirit? 

Everyone talks about God [or a god] and most saved people talk about Jesus but, have we met the Holy Spirit? Do you know that He is just as relevant as God and Jesus? As a matter of fact, He is VERY necessary for NOW...that is why Jesus sent Him to us after He left the Earth...Jesus KNEW that we could not make it here alone and that we needed God presence in this earth at ALL times. The Holy Spirit IS that Presence.

*Old Testament* In Eden...we see God [the Creator/Father] actually "walking" in the Garden. After sin entered via Adam and Eve...He removed His physical presence from Earth. He had Prophets/Spokespersons for Him and empowered them by His Spirit to do certain things. He also manifested His Presence in other ways: Cloud, Burning Bush, etc. But His Spirit was present in the Earth 24/7.

*New Testament* JESUS! After Jesus is born and grown we see the Dove descending on Him...that was a sign of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus walked the Earth, He embodied the Holy Spirit in FULL measure. ALL the miracles He performed was by the Power within Him...He was flesh and a part from the Power; He would not have been able to do what He did. So again...we have a Portion of God in the Earth but limited. He was here 24/7 but...the Power was still contained.

*NOW* When Jesus left the Earth...He said...I will SEND you a HELPER [Glory to God]...that Helper He was referring to is the Holy Spirit...the One that has been in operation since Eden but just contained. Jesus Released Him and allowed us FULL Access to the SAME Power that He Himself operated in. That SAME Power that even raised Jesus from the Dead is that Power that is NOW available to us! 24/7...365(6) and no longer contained in a few!

We must FIRST accept Christ as our Savior...the we have the privilege to then ASK and Receive the Enfilling of the Holy Spirit. God in FULL Measure!

This study will focus on the Third Person of the Godhead.  This person is rarely talked about and when He is, He is often mistaken as a thing, or an it.  Totally false.  The Holy Spirit is just as much of a person as Jesus and just as divine as God the Father. Would you refer to Jesus as it? No because He is real…the Holy Spirit is just a real.  In fact, Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit to give Him the power to do all of the work that was completed while he walked the earth.  In the Gospel of Matthew, we see a perfect picture of the Trinity and they interact as One.

A Picture of the Godhead

Matthew 3:16-17

16 After Jesus was baptized, he immediately came up from the water. Suddenly, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove to him. 17 Then a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love--my Son with whom I am pleased."

Jesus 
God the Son
Spirit of God as a dove
God the Holy Spirit
A voice from heaven
God the Father
After this took place, Jesus was prepared to do the work assigned to Him by the Father.


 Four important principles to remember

1) The Holy Spirit is God, He is a Person, not a force

2) We cannot focus on the Holy Spirit too much. Why? What is the Holy Spirit’s mission? To reveal Jesus. What is Jesus mission…to reveal the Father. What about the Father…to send Jesus and the Holy Spirit so we can come to Him. Perfect Harmony.

3) The Holy Spirit gives gifts for use in ministry and empowers effective ministry

4) The Holy Spirit is a distinct Person within the Godhead, not a force, a thing, or an "it"


Qualities that a person has…(a force or thing does not)
1) The Holy Spirit has intellect. 1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

2) The Holy Spirit has knowledge. 1 Corinthians 2:11 even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

3) The Holy Spirit has emotions. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve (to make sad or sorrowful, heavy of heart) not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

4) The Holy Spirit has his own will and he makes decisions. Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia (pronounced froog-ee'-ah) and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

5) The Holy Spirit Loves. Romans 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;


Things only a person would do (a force or thing does not)
1) He teaches you things about God and yourself. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

2) He tells the truth. John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

3) He guides. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

4) He convinces. John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

5) He prays for you. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

6) He commands. Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

The enemy would LOVE it if we NEVER get to know this person (The Holy Spirit)...he understands that POWER that comes through knowing God in His fullness (he once experienced this firsthand). I invite you to seek God in this as we study...ask for clarity and wisdom. As we move forward...I expect HIM, The Spirit of God to become more real to you than ever before.

(This is only an introduction and there is much more to be revealed.  Feel free to ask questions or give input.)  BLESSINGS!

Get REAL!

The time has come for us to get REAL!
Time out for playing Religious games...Time Out for saying what we "think" we need to say to win the Popular Votes. We MUST understand that as Believers of the True and Living God...we WILL face trouble! [Point Blank Period]. We need to realize our positions in the earth and that we have been called to a different level of living. It is NOT for us to look to the left or the right to measure our success or lack thereof...that is NOT our standard. We have been called as Sons and Daughters of God and we are the minority. Our greatest mistake as Children of God is competing with the world...we cut ourselves short every time. Our measuring stick is Christ...Our Goal is to please God.

TODAY is the day we are being called out and called upon to be who we have been designed to be...BOLDNESS is required. To stand in the midst of Flesh while maintaining the Spirit is work but Necessary. Many are being called into the wilderness...GO there and be satisfied by God alone. Many are being shifted into a new wave of Glory...Get in it and don't be timid.

It matters not your age, gender, race...your Heart is all that is on the radar. GET REAL!

You have been given a Divine testimony to share...don't deny it...This world needs your Voice. Your story is FREEDOM to many and LIBERTY for your Soul...GET REAL. There will be some who will not know you or understand you but, since they do not hold your destiny in their hands...don't hold their criticism in your heart.

GOD HAS MADE YOU FREE AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS,ALONG WITH THE WORD OF YOUR TESTIMONY IS YOUR OVERCOMING.

Let Him Use You...

LOVE to you All!
