Faith Feet

For the entrance of the Word gives light....gives understanding to the path.

Hebrews 12:12-17 says...Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitter ness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he want to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

Spiritual sickness that has rooted in offense and causes every sort of wrong.... This is a word of encouragement that you 'have been' sick. We all. Be of good cheer then because we know this is not of God and that healing belongs to all those who belong to Him. Reread the above verse and ask yourself a few questions and allow the Lord to speak to your spirit. You cannot say you do not know God. If you are alive and reading this, you know who He is. The Word says that everyone knows God.
~Can you pray?
~Can you believe?
~Can you trust?
~Can you forgive?
Amen! Your answers are Yes and Amen to the glory of God if you know the Word, because these are given to us all. There was and is anointed power in one drop of the blood that was shed that gave you all of these. Do you want it? It leads into every other blessing! You can pray with great power. You can believe for great things and for others. You can trust where there has been none and you can forgive greatly and open the flood gates of love in your heart and extend love to others.

Offense in the body of Christ wills sickness and disease; not for kingdom purpose. It's a fence for sure, but not for the purpose of blessing or even to guard the heart. It is for the purpose of being bait and taking it that no one be blessed, that the church not grow within your heart and even corporately. And thus every good gift cannot be given and miracles are slack in taking place in the church houses everywhere. 

Revelations says about the loveless church...Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you have left your first love. First love there is... 'dear, charity, affections, benevolence'. That cannot be accomplished without being and doing what it said it meant. 

When you remove the obstacles of offense, for whatever reasons you may have taken its bait and let go of bitterness that takes control of your heart, in the offense formed... You can pray, You can believe, You can trust and You can forgive. 

About Esau discussed above. It says 'like'. We are in the age of Grace. There is always repentance and there is always forgiveness. Resistance and rejection is from the pit of hell and furthers no good thing. Its commanded to return to where it came from! This is not a war against flesh, but against principalities and powers sent toward the church to cause trouble.

Once I was warned by a person and also told in prayer there was some sort of evil lurking and I did not heed the direction and be aware and as I was walking down the steps to the downstairs of this church I twisted my ankle and it hurt so badly I thought if I looked surely I snapped it in half. In a fit of pain, nearly vomiting and at this point my entire leg went numb, I as quickly as I could pull myself up,  taking no further thought of what pain I was in already, walked up two flights of steps and paced the church house for nearly two hours in spiritual prayer never sitting down once. When I left that day it was almost completely healed ...only a small portion of it unhealed over the next few days. God is in the miracle business. I held then and now a spiritual wisdom within my heart and mind that the miracles look like this...perseverance + prayer + forgiveness + love= Healing! ...of anything that ails your heart, soul, mind, strength or dreams! God is in the business of it all! Amen! 

I remember when I was little and was learning to ride a bike. My dad was running behind me and he let go after a few feet as I took off down the lane. I fell and skinned my knee (and many times after that; still scarred from some hard falls on my bike) and I was so mad that he let go. I didn't understand at the moment that it was gonna show how me to do it on my own. Now years later after him teaching me when I was 5 years old how to let go so I could ride freely on the road of life, he is now on oxygen. And I called him out for not telling me so that I might pray for his breathing. He told me he didn't want to worry me. The enemy will lie to you for any reason. Do you see where there can be no flow? Had I stayed angry I would have never learned. Had he not known that worry isn't of God, he would remain in the belief that he was alone in this. We are never too young or old to have a teachable spirit.     

The Spirit overtook me a few days ago in a quickened time of prayer and intercession. There was so much to be accomplished and I knew it...miraculously even! A place to get to in the Spirit for me and others and a place that I had to be and no means whatsoever to get there. I prayed until I came to that precious place knowing that everything was gonna be ok even if I couldn't make it. I even at one time contemplated how long it would take to walk 5 hours. There was certainly much to be accomplished. I had a choice to make in that. I was so very convicted at heart I could have jumped in the van and drove miles to give a profound word praying my way there knowing it would turn out well but I was blocked on every side and the van wouldn't even start. So, in the natural I wasn't going anywhere but I knew I had a message to give and also a trip to take and was prepared to, at a moments notice had a way been made somehow someway, to get it done. I have learned the art over several years stumbling, falling and getting back up again that when God says something move to do what he says in a moments notice; spontaneously....That it can be the difference between a person healing and not. God is gonna bless this irregardless of what your circumstances look like because that is right where He works the best. My point is that it was so strong on my spirit I could have gotten very angry at why this was not opening and became offended with even God, which is the greatest blockage ever to a river to flow.
         
Read here...Ezekiel 18: 27 says...Again, when a wicked man turns away from his righteousness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself.  The disease goes no further. 

Matthew 6:15 says this...But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.       

I Peter 3:7b says this...and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.       

Luke 17:4 says ..."And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you , saying "I repent", you shall forgive him."  This grace in forgiving isn't a license to sin or not to examine your own heart or even to take on offenses that were never for you to take on. The enemy is well aware that it ceases the flow of good things. 

2 Corinthians 2:4-8 says...For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you. But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent- not to be too severe. This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.  

Colossians 3:13 says...bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you so you also must do.  

It's very clear...the flow of gifts are opened up when forgiveness is continual. Forgiveness is THE VERY MESSAGE OF THE CROSS. This leaves us without excuse. Often we keep going , shut our eyes, mouth and turn our heads. And that is not working for you or for me. It is a two way street with flow right down the center. Take a look at Revelations 22:2. Its says...In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Can we together shout a loud "Hallelujah"?! 

There will be the greatest flow of the river right in the middle blessing us all as we surrender to the love of God!
