Awoke wide awake 2:25am with many on my heart. Wake up. Wake up. Must write. ...Haven't since Sept. 20th...It's time I hear. Enemy plan under foot I hear ...yet again. There is too much good. There is too much love. There is too much light. All of it expells darkness. All of darkness is overcome. Blame shifting to avoid bowing the knee. It never works. Vieing for control. Shut down that the Lord might have His way....and His way is right, true, noble, good, of virtue, of love, good report and praiseworthy. And...it's the honor of Kings to seek it out. Glory! Pulling together that it all work..it all mesh..that it all unite in love as the scriptures call for. Psalm 133:1 says ....BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Everyone has a place. There is no one without. A dear one sung just recently...not about position. This is true. It is about loving each other and coming together in the power of the Holy Spirit that the church might look and be whole. Every part working together. Another dear one said...we must get serious. I have learned in my lifetime that in that seriousness there is the letting go and enjoyment of fellowship and fun in the church and out. It is two sides of a coin that make it what it is. In it there is triumphant joy, triumphant praise, triumphant vision. In it there is love. In it there is no fear because perfect love casts out all fear. Speaks freely. Romans 14:17 says...The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but joy in the Holy Spirit. Amen Amen! So much to be said about fellowship...so very precious to my heart.
Know this church...we are blessed, chosen, adopted, forgiven and redeemed. No paralysis to anyone when you speak the truth in love. If your loved one is ailed of something that sets itself up against the knowledge of God...share and pray and the enemies work is ceased in the moment. In this, trust is built in the spirit, in the church, amongst those dear to you. And best of all....the plot to pain and not protect is shut down.
I was taught that to walk in the spirit is not only practical but spiritual. The spiritual; from within, from above. The natural; perhaps the mindful if you see it this way. I will say it in this manner...the words are life off the page. It is word and spirit. Spirit follows the spoken word. In other words when the word is preached, revelation falls and the light bulb goes off and it all clicks and there is growth. Inspiration is there.We take and eat of it.
The enemy tries to vie for control, twist words, take the upper hand, come along with the condemning white glove, walking along trying to find error and in that moment we have a choice...shoot down every arrow not of God by holding up the shield of faith or we will allow the attack to weaken us. And when it does one of the two, we stand up, brush ourselves off and put on all the armour and move on. We have the life manuel. Keep it close. It is your cleansing....at least in part.
Ephesians 6: 11-17...put it on daily. Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God, And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. I will say this here...we MUST have on the armor. We MUST get in the word. It's your saving grace. It's the heart of God in place.

...and noteworthy to go on to write here....Ephesians 6: 18-19 & 23-24 ...the word practical to the doing of prayer- spiritual. ...Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people). And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel)
Peace be to the brethren, and love joined with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Grace (God's undeserved favor) be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with undying and incorruptible [love]. Amen (so let it be)....God's word is so beautiful....so majestic and true. It's time for me to teach the practical goodies I have been taught that the church rise into the victorious place. It seems we can't get into that place of ultimate victory and togetherness in love until so...here we have it. Amen!
We need encouragement. We serve God with a loyal heart and a willingness. For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.....2 Corinthians 8:12 We all must be encouraged. If there is no giver, there is no receiver and if no one is willing to receive, then there can be no giver and so...the seed falls to the ground and the enemy thieves it and it all becomes of no effect. The word says...Freely give, freely recieve. Amen! I was taught early on that if you don't let someone give you something then they cannot do what they are suppose to do and you can't grow by not recieving. It's like it's a win, win situation. THIS is so precious, the ways of God! I am about to shout! GLORY! This is exciting to me. If you are always the one who just gives, then it's your turn to receive. If you are the one who always receives, then give it away. If you are stopping someone from a dear blessing to their heart by not letting them give it, it hinders the flow. Let go and receive : )
So, we will go here where the most encouragement seems to be flowing and I pray we all receive much. When it's sunk in perhaps as I have been taught...we can then go back and sing to the glory of God the Father in loud shouts of praise and wonderment. But first things are first I am seeing and so I am being moved to type fast and furious because the devil is on the prowl and my loved ones are the target and well, there is just no other way to say this....a righteous anger floods me where those I love are concerned! So, lets move on because it's been spoken over and over to my spirit again and again....I am to be about a new joy movement so let's move out into the word so that we can move with joy and ease. I feel release flowing to you as I write. Speak the words out loud since I am physically not speaking them to you and let them become the rhema word to your spirit. Let the word wash over you and excite you to go further with the Father.
Blessings of the Holy Spirit available now to you and always. The Holy Spirit is revealed in the word as the sealer, the enlightener, spirit of unity, spirit of holiness, a fountain, a giver of the word. The Holy Spirit can be grieved. Grieved within yourself from holding back his natural working in our lives or grieved as in pressed upon wrongfully. This is where love covers a multitude of sin. Right there is the balm...not the bomb...the balm, like the balm of gilead...soothing, precious, always filled of love right over your spirit. Right there in sponteneity of the moment....love to you, infilling to you....Let me not get off track here...moving on.

Insert your name in the following prayers and pray them over those you love, those who need encouragament, those who have need. You will see change. You will see the victory for them. You will see victory in the word. You will see victory for yourself. It's the word. It always wins because it is good.
Ephesians 1:16-19....I do not cease to give thanks for you,_______ making mention of you________ in my prayers. [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,
Ephesians 3:16-19....May He grant ________out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
Ephesians 6:19-20...And [pray] also for _____, that [freedom of] utterance may be given _____, that (he/she) may open their mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel), For which (he/she) is an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison. Pray] that (he/she) may declare it boldly and courageously, as they ought to do.
Let it flood you and them. You will see. So will they. Fast and pray for insight into revelation knowledge. Coupled with studying and praying Ephesians, explosion in your spirit. Yes, Hallelujah and Amen!
___________________________________________________________
Here are some thoughts to ponder as you study the life breathing word...Amen!
~Ephesians 1:3...The blessing noted here is...spiritual tongues, seasoned with grace and power of the word. Food!
~Ephesians 1:11...The Holy Spirit within us is the counselor. We counsel ourselves from within. Does this mean we need no counsel from one another? Absolutely not. If we have no fellowship, we have no love. If we give nothing, we receive nothing. The words says that there is safety in a multitude of counselors. This does not mean to have everyone's opinion, but to measure by the Holy Spirit and to take counsel not only from within but from trusted loved ones. Together you can't go wrong. He wins again within you and to you and from others. (as a matter to state...and you know the few that you are...I was spurred on and stirred up to write this that I write...why?...because it is good and it must be shared)
~Ephesians 1:14...Holy Spirit is the guarantee, the deposit, the down payment so to speak...and we give him praise for the purchased posssession. Taking that a step further...go deeper with him and he'll be your down payment for all of your needs and desires. Philippians 4:6 Amplified says...In every circumstance with definite requests make your wants known to God! Do this with prayer and thanksgiving! OH Wow! I am and I will! Answered prayer. Psalm 55:22 is noteworthy to study further...It says...Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Woah...precious...Psalm 37:5-6 says...Commit your ways to the Lord Trust (means...be confident, be bold, put confidence in) so in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light (Glory...light here means...set on fire, luminary, light, happiness, clear morning, sun, break of day) And your righteousness as the noonday (noonday means...window, dual, double light, tide, anointing, noon tide, producing light) I am undone...this is so exciting! Hear my heart!
~Ephesians 2:1-2 We are made alive and dead to sin. We don't operate according to the powers of the air. I seen this once like this...when we speak from our mouths ill will, the prince of darkness sends his cohorts out to snatch the word and then multiplies it to make war....gives birth to sin in many facets and thus weakens one another. Doesn't edify or encourage. ***None of this is meant for anything other than furthering the kingdom and lifting one another to a place of victory. There is a flip side to this here as well. It is rooted in trust and prayer. When we PRAY BELIEVING that we not only have what we say, but also what we say stays within the boundaries we command it to we have what we prayed believing for. Takes all the mistrust we might have from our hearts to the Father that we are not being heard, because we are and it binds the enemy from getting what we asked for. What we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and what we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19 says. Woohoo! Amen. And so...we can have in the Heavenly Places, even in corporate places, here on earth just as the things we will one day have in heaven. It is for here and now! Hebrews 11:1 says...Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the realization of things unseen. Hallelujah! My definite request is my substance of hope. Realized! This is the happiness of my heart. The word...it's life blood. It's God, family, love, life, joy, peace and ministry!
~Ephesians 2:7 the word "riches" means wealth, fullness, money, abundance. This speaks motive of the heart. Is it to get rich or is it to have the abundance God promised to us? A thought: How did we come to know what this meant? We studied it our for ourselves. We dug in the word. We want his life, his blessing, his fruit, his will, his ways, his gifts. Not of ourself...of Him. To remind me of this I drew a picture of a package, a gift with a bow. All tied up it is love...not in the sense of being bound, but a gift.
~Ephesians 2:13 You were brought near by the blood of Christ. Woah...that is abundance. We are void of all without it. There is power; great and eternal power in the blood. If you are in a state of weakness in anyway...Plead the blood of Jesus over you, your family, your church, your life and your friends, your sisters and brothers in the Lord, over your physical body over the eyes of your heart,over your relationships and your spirit will be illuminated. You will breathe freer. You will see and feel and sense the glory of God flood all that you pray over. You will see things in a new light.
~Ephesians 2:14 Means in essence that there need not be hostility; ceasing of strife. He is your peace. Cast down all thoughts that are not of peace.
~Ephesians 2:18...Through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Glory. This is unity and answers to no division. Don't allow the enemy of your faith to be a thief though lack of unity.
~Ephesians 3:3-4 You were just as others but now the word made alive in you that you are partners in covenant with God. This is now made understood through Christ.
~Ephesians 3:17 Christ dwells in your heart through faith and you being rooted and grounded in love...when your heart and spirit is rooted in love, these are the roots that don't easily come out of the ground. Foundation of the word.
~Ephesians 4:3 Endeavoring....eagerness, quickly, prompt, earnest, striving, receive....Ahh, this makes me smile : )...to keep unity in the bond of peace.
In conclusion here...1 Thessalonians 5:23 says ...Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit , soul and body be preserved blamless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. You access your intellectual and emotional realm with your soul...You access the spiritual realm with your spirit. With your body you access the physical realm. Soul and spirit not the same...but when unified there is no division. Peace in unity. Amen.
