June 28, 2011- Inspired 9am on this day to write and share the following...

As I recall the intensity of this word given me I pray only that I can even in part share the love that is trying to literally jump through this screen in love toward you, that you might actually feel and know how truly loved you are and gain from what is written, hearing my heart; receiving what God has given to me for you and more than that, some part will break a part of your heart for the good within that is already seen and known. A repentance or a receiving that perhaps only until now you could not understand or receive. Let your heart melt where needed and don't be held back from the simplicity of letting go and letting God have your whole heart. Don't be held down with the lie that you can't or that it isn't for you because you have to remain behind and you have to too much responsibility. I could talk all day about this but let's move on to what's given for you and me now.

Leviticus 6:1-7 (New Living Translation)

And the Lord said to Moses, “Suppose some of the people sin against the Lord by falsely telling their neighbor that an item entrusted to their safekeeping has been lost or stolen. Or suppose they have been dishonest with regard to a theft or extortion. Or suppose they find a lost item and lie about it, or they deny something while under oath, or they commit any other similar sin. If they have sinned in any of these ways and are guilty, they must give back whatever they have taken by theft or extortion, whether a security deposit, or property entrusted to them, or a lost object they claimed as their own, or anything gained by swearing falsely. When they realize their guilt, they must restore the principal amount plus a penalty of 20 percent to the person they have harmed. They must then bring a guilt offering to the priest, who will present it before the Lord. This offering must be a ram with no physical defects or the animal's equivalent value in silver. The priest will then make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven.

Right about now I have more business speaking than typing because I have far less ability to type as fast as my heart is pouring. Nevertheless, here we go.

#1- We live under grace and the new covenant says there is no condemnation for those is Christ Jesus says Romans 8:1. I am speaking to those who are saved by their confession of belief in the Lord Jesus. This is going to clear up a lot of misgivings and remind you and me and what we all need from time to time. God is so good right about now. I heard this not long ago and it settles with my spirit well.... “When we are talking about and to the church we are dealing with grace. When we are talking about the land of Israel, there is no grace for those who come against.”

You may be led in various ways in interpreting the verse above from Leviticus. Your wheel may be spinning and a your chest may be filling with upset over something that has been taken from you and what someone owes you or that has been taken from you. Let God do it. Go through and come out on the otherside with joy. It's already atoned for. Vengeance is His. His ways are greater than ours. He wants to give to you more than you know how to receive. Believe me when I say this because this I know to be absolute truth. We have all had something taken from us at one time or another; whether physically or spiritually. Conversation is key here in it all. This is the greatest first point I can share.

# 2- We are reading about the Word of God of which the essence of its entirety is about the cross and what was done for you and for me and this all ads up to “Forgiveness”. The only thing subtracted is our sin as we receive. It causes multiplication and division is under you feet and mine. This is the greatest word that can define the bible in its entirety besides the word “Love”. In this , forgiveness is love and love is forgiveness. Let that sink in deep. So, in your heart you must forgive and perhaps confess your sins in prayer and even to another. The cross did it all and there is enough love in only one drop of blood that was shed to cleanse you and your offender fully. This second point is actually number one!

# 3 – The hardest part of all of this is this point. Reception and all of it's mutuality. It took one to offend you in some way. It takes you to forgive. In the middle of that is likely much misunderstading...that's the territory not of God. We have all been there. It took the blood to offer you all you are being offered in the grace contained in it. Now, what to do with it? Receiving what's been done is good. Oh, the release!

Let me share here what forgiveness is so you can easily make a good choice and get on the other side of the unforgiveness. Offense is the ultimate trap of Satan. He causes the stumbling block; causing you take the bait and take on the pain rather than forgiving and letting all the negativity go. The lack of conversation again, is what keeps the scandal ongoing. Tuning in to what God is saying to you is the ticket to the release and unity. To come together for the purpose in mind to offend only ads to the offense and in this no accomplishment is made. You would be following the wrong example. The Lord knows your heart hurts and sleep under these circumstances is not as sweet as it could be. He sees the issues in the house, the home and the church house. More than that He sees when you run from Him when He wants to throw His arms around you in absolute love that we often don't understand. And the enemy of your faith don't want you to understand. Offense is blinding to its participant. More than that, most often the participant don't know they are participating (in the wrong participation). Wrong thoughts pervert even that simple act of love. Let the Holy Spirit bless you for the moment with peace and be filled with love that you can also extend to another. It's now made easier to forgive and live. And that's life!

Something to think on. Is it possible to have right heart with the wrong motive? Confidence holds the truth within. Look at these verses in Jude 20-23. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire hating even the garments defiled by the flesh. Prayer and worship to God gives you what you need in all things and helps you then to have compassion for and to love others and love covers a multitude of sin. Get full of God and everything becomes easy!

Leviticus 6: 12-13 (New Living Translation)

…the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the daily whole burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn theron the fat of the peace offerings. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

There is a sweet and magnificent peace that comes over you when you worship the Lord. It's your peace offering to Him but he pours upon you as you lift sweet worship to Him. It's grace to you as you lift grace unto Him. There is power in your worship that cleanses, renews and prepares you for receiving what it is you need to receive from him. It's then that you can hear when you release your heart to Him. And yet it goes both ways...When you worship it releases you unto more and at times when you let go of the offense you will be greatly amazed at how able you are to worship and the blessing awaiting you. You don't have to be a singer to lift holy hand without anger and doubting. The only thing in the way is the very thing God created to worship Him... You and Me! Yes, His creation was created for this purpose!

Isaiah 6:4-8 (New Living Translation)

The glorious singing shook the Temple to its foundations, and entire sanctuary was filled with smoke. Then I said, “My destruction is sealed, for I am a sinful man and a member of a sinful race. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord Almighty! Then one of the seraphim flew over the altar, and he picked up a burning coal with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go for us?” And I said, “Lord, I'll go! Send me.”

I see so much in the above verse it seems too much to put on paper. I knew to include it here so I will just let the word do its work in your heart. Ask him to touch you once again and to use you.

A compilation of scripture comes to my remembrance this morning...

Psalms 27:4-14 says in NKJV...One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When you said, “Seek my face, “My heart said to you, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Do not hide your face from me; Do not turn your servant away in anger ; you have been my help; Do not leave me no forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will care of me. Teach me your way , O Lord, And lead me in a smoother path, because my enemies. Do not deliver me to the will of adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait I say, on the Lord!

Praise God! My wait is over and so is yours!

Psalms 91 (Living Bible)

We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that he alone is refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. For he rescues you from every trap, and protects you from the fatal plague. He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your amour. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disaster in the morning. Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked punished but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuse! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? For he orders his angels to protect you where you go. They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet! For the Lord says because he loves me, I will rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him with a full long life and give him my salvation.

Psalms 92 (Living Bible)

It is good to say, “Thank you” to the Lord, to sing praises to God who is above all gods. Every morning tell him “Thank you for your kindness,” and every evening rejoice in all his faithfulness. Sing his praises, accompanied by music from the harp and lute and lyre. You have done so much for me, O Lord. No wonder I am glad! I sing for joy. O Lord, what miracles you do! And how deep are your thoughts! Unthinking people do not understand them! No fool can comprehend this: that although the wicked flourish like weeds, there is only eternal destruction ahead of them. But the Lord continues forever, exalted in the heavens, while his enemies-all evil-doers shall be scattered. But you have made me as strong as a wild bull. How refreshed I am by your blessings! I have heard the doom of my enemies announced and seen them destroyed. But the godly shall flourish like palm trees, and grow tall as the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted into the Lord's own garden, and are under his personal care. Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green. This honor the Lord, and exhibits his faithful care. He is my shelter. There is nothing but goodness in him!

Psalms 93 (Living Bible)

Jehovah is King! He is robed in majesty and strength. The world is his throne. O Lord, you have reigned from prehistoric times, from the everlasting past. The mighty oceans thunder your praise. You are mightier than all the breakers pounding on the seashores of the world! Your royal decrees cannot be changed. Holiness is forever the keynote of your reign.

Psalms 94 (Living Bible)

Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs,let your glory shine out. Arise and judge the earth; sentence the proud to the penalties they deserve. Lord, how long shall the wicked be allowed to triumph and exult? Hear their insolence! See their arrogance! How these men of evil boast! See them oppressing your people, O Lord, afflicting those and love. They murder widows, immigrants, and orphans, for “The Lord isn't looking, they say, “and besides, he doesn't care.” Fools! Is God deaf and blind-he who makes ears and eyes? He punishes the nations-won't he also punish you? He knows everything – doesn't he also know what you are doing? The Lord is fully aware of how limited and futile the thought of mankind are, so he helps us by punishing us. This makes us follow his paths, and give us respite from our enemies while God traps them and destroys them. The Lord will not forsake his people, for they are his prize. Judgment will again be just and all the upright will rejoice. Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will by my shield? I would have died unless the Lord had helped me I screamed, “I'm slipping, Lord!” and he was kind and saved me. Lord, when doubt fills my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer. Will you permit a corrupt government to rule under your protection- a government permitting wrong to defeat right? Do you approve of those who condemn who condemn the innocent to death? No! The Lord my God is my fortress- the might Rock where I can hide. God has made the sins of evil men to boomerang upon them! He will destroy them by their own plans. Jehovah our God will cut them off.

Psalms 95 (Living Bible)

Oh, come, let us sing to the Lord! Give a joyous shout in honor of the Rock of our salvation! Come before him with thankful hearts. Let us sing him psalms of praise. For the Lord is a great God, the great King of all gods. He controls the formation of the depths of the earth and mightiest mountains, all are his. He made the sea and formed the land; they too are his. He made the sea and formed the land; they too are his. Come, kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is our God. We are his sheep and he is our Shepherd. Oh, that you would hear him calling you today and come to him! Don't harden your hearts as Israel did in the wilderness at Meribah and Massah. For there your fathers doubted me, thought they had seen so many of my miracles before. My patience was severely tried by their complaints. For forty years I watched them in disgust,” the Lord God says. “They were a nation whose thoughts and heart were far from me. They refused to accept my laws. Therefore in mighty wrath I swore that they would never enter the promise land, the place of rest I planned for them.

Psalms 96 (Living Bible)

Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing it everywhere around the world! Sing out His praises! Bless His name Each tell someone that He saves. Publish His glorious acts throughout the earth. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does. For the Lord is great beyond description, and greatly to be praised. Worship only Him among the gods! For the gods of other nations are merely idols, but our God made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround Him; strength and beauty are in His Temple. O nations of the world, confess that God alone is glorious and strong. Give Him the glory He deserves! Bring your offering and come to worship him. Worship the Lord with the beauty of holy lives. Let the earth tremble before Him. Tell the nations that Jehovah reigns! He rules the world. His power can never be overthrown. He will judge all nations fairly. Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice; let the vastness of the roaring seas demonstrating his glory. Praise Him for the growing fields, for they display greatness. Let the trees of the forest with praise. For the Lord is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the nations fairly and with truth!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...Questions, Prayers, Worship, Meditations, Promises, Answers.

How I wish I stood before you as I share from here. How I want you to hear what has been given me. How I want you to know how loved you are. Receive what I am giving you in the goodness of God and in the grace intended. I long to share in person with tone and inflection in my voice, letting the written logos word be rhema word spoken, that you might feel the resounding love He so longs to give to you through me. Receive what is necessary for you here. Some of this is pretty intense. You will know what is for you and what is not. Your heart will tell you.

*If conviction comes, repent.

*If confidence comes, receive.

*If condemnation comes, repent...this is not of God.

So, I won't beat around the bush in saying how dearly loved you are and that there are those that have not your best interest at heart when it comes to being a son of God and rather there have been those who have carried with them a spirit that have been out to make you twice the son of hell as themselves. God forbid! There is a difference in teaching according to a person or child's bent toward giftedness and the rod of offense. Think on the deepest part of your heart of what you have longed to be and do. Now fully realize that God intended you to be this and more. Much to ponder. God doesn't hold me and you back. You have an anointing from the Holy One and you need not that anyone teach you 1 John 2:20 says. You know the anointing within. For some you will recall the reception of love and loss of the deception. For others, Acts 3:19 says, Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. This was a word that was given to me for the church in May of 2008 and just in case I repented myself. It was just that strong as it came to me. You don't have to be alone. I will pray with you. I'll cry with you. Just repent that things can be normal...more like... “exceeding above all that you ever thought they could be”. God has dreams. He gave them to you and me. I will hold your hand. Call out to Him. God needs you to need Him. His desire for you is so overwhelming and overflowing with love. Let go and let God. There is such a release of all that concerns you when you do. I know this because I am called to be a worshiper (and where your worship takes place there will also be release) even in this moment a preacher.

I am gonna expose every work of the enemy that has held back my and your victory. God hates it and so I do as well when His people are caused harm through deception. We have all been caught up in this at one time or another. The devil won't have a threat fulfilled as God's promises come to pass. I have endured enough and I know beyond words how it is you have too. I won't be told any longer that its for my sake or the sake of those that are pained or without understanding that deception stands in the way to cause lack. It is truly of dual understanding how unity happens and from there, there is only one way. I have been released from that. The abuse will cease here and now. Perfect love casts out all fear...so fear, I speak you gone in Jesus Name from lives. Lies and deceptions that are always holding back and pushing your faith to place that accomplishes nothing and keeps you in a state of wait. Let me tell you that fear or one carrying that spirit will only serve to secretly hold you back and not allow you to move forward.

Me and my children; not to mention all those that I love, need refreshing and to be rested. This is not unrighteous. Jesus said in His word in Luke 17:2 ...it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Wow, do I feel this for you and me. I have lived this. From the babies, children, adults. I am the youngest 40 + year old I know ; ) Are you hearing my heart? It's about us all. We are all His children.

There is no more poverty spirit to be received. God's word says that His wealth is ours according to his riches. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich; And He adds no sorrow with it, says Proverbs 10:22. That is purity of the truth, undiluted. He owns all the cattle on a thousand hills so that makes my negative account positive, for no other account than the fact that it is necessary. I heard a preacher more than once say that if its necessary to explain, then it is necessary. So, with necessity I tell you true that He takes care of those, and more so those who have offered their all to Him. That makes me so rich from the seed that has been sown, words spoken and love poured, offering made that I know no one will be without. It is not sinful to have your needs taken care of or to call out to God for them since it all belongs to Him and He is the source of every need and every desire. Nothing more than a spirit of religion would tell me or you to be still about your needs and go ahead and cultivate pride. I am ashamed of Him not, so willing I will share what rightly belongs to me and thus to you. But know that a spirit of greed will promise you all day long if you will listen. No more not enough gas to get to church. No more missed opportunity. No more bills unpaid. No more school needs unmet for my children. No more concern of how to handle transportation; particulary to the church house on a Sunday morning where God says not to give up meeting together!

Life is commanded by the words you and I speak in the moment to flow and grow and multiply and cause great things to come to pass. Speak it forth and let your feet follow. I am no longer walking along in wait. It's way past time. In a prayer meeting in 2006 I looked up and saw a sign; a giant sign with flashing lights that said “Glory To His Name” and it is time that glory be fully given. It was a sign on a building and as sure as I write here I know it wasn't my blog that I began writing years before this vision. It was a sign to get attention to those who don't know Him. And it meant much more than that to me. I receive no word that brings negativity to those I love. If you are in this for edification and to bring life to another, then you are on God's page but if you are causing death and ruin and scheming don't be on my path. If you are being told you will never be healed... Run! That is a lie straight from the pit of hell and in it contains nothing to further you and comes from a spirit rooted of disbelief. If someone wants you on the outside of the circle; its because they want to thieve the victory not wrought for them...because it is not in true love. True love shouts loud and runs after those- to want the blessing for them as well. There's no edification for the church without this kind of love. Realize the scheme and put it beneath. Get the victory that was always mine and yours.

I have poured out my heart in times past unceasingly for years for Pastor's, leaders, Prophets lifting them in prayer even when I knew not how to pray. The enemy would love nothing more than to steal and rob whatever was planted there. Acts 20:31 says this...Therefore watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn eveyone night and day with tears. And thus God has seen your tears. 2 Timothy 1:4 says this...greatly desiring to see you, being mindul of your tears, that I may be filled with joy. Here, we are talking about tears of great joy, not being happy that someone else is sad. Check your spirit. Unity is where absolute excitement is at the core. Perhaps checking yourself to see if you are full of love ; )

“You Are Not Forgotten”, a song often sung sings. He (the enemy) is and was and forever has no access. Denied! The devil is commanded to fully repay you and me for every tear you and I have cried in lonliness, poverty, lack, hurts, abuses, brokenness. And should someone be pointing at you; this is to their shame. No blame shifting. This is a spiritual thing. It is now delared loudly to be the 'season of repayment' of all that has been stolen. If the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous, and it is, then I say it's time for release with a commanding power that fills all that has been lost. And along with that the enemy knows his time is so very limited. Press in. It is needed and necessary.

Employment, Ministry, Opportunity, Divine Appointment, Revelation Necessary, Dreams and Visions, Intensified Prayer Life. Yes Lord! It's time. Yes and Amen. Your word says...all my children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be their peace. You have said to train them up in the admonition of the Lord and this I have done. I am asking for the continuance of this blessing with greater increase of fullfilment in the areas of need, including my bent being utilized in love of others in ministry, needs being met toward others. Let us all be astounded at the measure  and treasure of grace poured out upon the church and individually. Receive it and give it. Oh yes, dreams coming to pass! I have prayed out dreams from a far out place that without faith they would not come to fruitation. I'm crossing over into the blessing that has always been mine. Tis' the season, right now. Now faith. Not in months to come.

I am seeing a social whirlwind of blessing, connection, love, understanding compassion, intense blessing....yes, the real party that's planned. No more hindering spirits to all that has been prayed for days, weeks, months, even years. I became a follower and with joy of the Holy Spirit so my heart condemns me not. I am excited to spill life from the word of God unto those who see the word for all it is, who desires excitement and togetherness and wants to be about a worshipful life. I call forth greater love amidst the brethren, newness of anointing and a gratitude to rise up in the church that showers one another in the real expectations of care we should rightly hold for one another. Let's rise above. Let's put a smile where there has been nothing more than anxiety or concern about the countenance. Place all that which does not bless away! ...And not on a shelf. Open the window and if it doesn't line up to love and furthering the church cast that ill spirit out of your life. Let the incense of life be about, at and around your life. Let this be the season that the blessings spoken of comes to pass; the rain of the Spirit. I call forth life, unity, compassion, companionship, friendships, improvements in every area, forgiveness, truth, fun, newness, do-overs, ministry and giving that is not daunting to anyone involved but with flow and fullness. Let's go forward with the things we only thought were of the past and most of all that as these things just happen we will give God above all the praise and all the glory!
