5 Ministry Gifts + Office of Helps(Explanation but not limited to)
-These very often overlap or you will see characteristics of others in different catagories listed below. The important thing to know is this is just the undestanding in words here and there is not only new revelation all the time but the experiential knowledge is where you learn the most. Yet another reason to heed the word and not give up meeting together and showing love to one another.
Realizing that the gifts are not for heirarcial control, assignment, systems or people ranked one above another though respect for others we always have, the gifts not for control, competition or to build formulas for personal gain but to show forth what God is doing through us for the profit of all...to love the brethren and allow the Holy Spirit to flow in and through us. There is no gift mix. I am going to type that twice. There is no gift mix. It is how God wants to move through you. It is how you are prepared to receive.
Carry with you with enormity of great measure the "discerning of spirits" because many things will come to you and you have to discern what is for you, not aligned to the word and spirit or what is for you but perhaps not for this time or what is being called forth for or in the moment. As we grow in Him and also as we are thrust into deeper measures of the Holy Spirit's move in our lives we must be aware of how He is calling us to be used.
We are all growing in some form or fashion in the spirit. You will also see that as you read down you may find that there have been seasons of one gift or another that you have flowed in and now you are experiencing another gift in your life or you may also see that you have always carried a particular gift and maybe you are blessed in the read that you didn't realize it. It's about His grace. Oh how He loves us!

Gifts of Jesus....Psalm 68:18-19 and Ephesians 4:11 (Character of...)
*Sometimes the Gifts of Jesus are demonstrative, a form of art or a supplied gift
Apostle- Often travels, concern for the churches, does not dominate, not hierarchial, not governing office, means "sent forth", has a commission; not merely going, marked by signs and wonders and mighty deeds, marked by deep encounters with the Lord, has beyond the ordinary relationship with the Lord, 1st a preacher or teacher of the Word, seems in some way to embrace all the gifts, ability to establish churches, sometimes a missionary sent out. Gentle, affectionate love for the brethren. Able to provide outstanding leadership, power and abilities to establish churches, spiritual gifts stand out.
~There are 4 classes of Apostles 1) Jesus, Chief Apostle sent from the Father 2) 12 Apostles of the Lamb (original) 3) Messenger, delagate, representative, witness 4) Those who pioneer new churches and new territory
*Examples- Hebrews 3:1...Jesus, 2 Corinthians 12:12...signs and wonders, 1 Corinthians 9:1-2, 1 Corinthians 4:15 ...not many Fathers, 1 Thessalonians 2:6-12 gentle, affectionate; character of, 1 Timothy 2:7, 1 Timothy 1:11...preacher and teacher, Galatians 1:13-17...deep experience
Prophet- Foreteller, Inspired speaker, for the perfecting of the saints, speaks by divine inspiration or impulse of sudden inspiration, called to full time ministry, difference in prophesying and the ministry of a prophet, 1st a preacher and/or teacher of the word, marked by visions and revelations and even dreams, a seer; meaning to see and know things supernaturally, may simply say what the Holy Spirit is saying, not perfect because the gift is manifested through human beings, office is marked by 4 gifts of the Holy Spirit continually which are....Discerning of Spirits, Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge and Prophecy, laying on of hand for healing may go along with this office, misrepresented as knowing everything...though only knows what is asked for or that which is revealed to one called to or operating in this office, public office may also look like tongues and interpretation
*Examples...Ephesians 4:8,11-13...Ministry Gift, 1 Corinthians 14:1...desiring to love first, 1 Corinthians 12:29....Ministry gift of tongues, 1 Corinthians 14:3.....speaks edification, Acts 22:17-18,1 Corinthians 14: 29-30...how to judge prophecy for yourself, Romans 8:14...led from within, 1 Corinthians 12:1-3, Luke 4:27....lepers cleansed, 2 Kings 5:10...washing at the Jordan 7 times, Luke 17:12-14, John 9:6-7, 2 Kings 5:20-27...does not always know everything
Evangelist- Marked by signs and wonders, often a roving ministry, messenger of good tidings, encourager, can be matter a fact in nature, many times an exhorter, office marked by gifts of healing and miracles from salvation to physical healings, preacher and/or teacher of the gospel, preaching to affect the will of one in need of salvation, repentance and conviction, marked often by travel, has a supreme gift to bring one to the Lord for initial salvation experience, this office often is marked by all the offices across the spectrum in a different way than an apostle without a specific commision other than salvation of souls and healing.
*Examples...Ephesians 4:11-12...Ministry Gift, 1 Corinthians 12:28...healing gifts, Jeremiah 20:9...burning fire to preach good news, Acts 8:6...miracles, Acts 8:12...preaching and baptizing men and women
Pastor- Literally means shepherd; corrector, protector, friend, provider, leader, rules, overseer, poiman, no higher call, marked by great example but not superhuman, undershepherd to the local body of believers generally, marked by much compassion, settled and stationery office but is not limited to; but generally of the heart, the only one appointed to the five fold ministry, can stand in office as a preacher or teacher or both, not a hireling, overseer of flock, not a position of a novice, definite leadership, no more respected office, heart aches for people, often may feel like you want to care for them all, outstanding characteristic of love, nourishes and nurtures others in the Word, concerned with the wholeness of a person
*Examples- Ephesians 4:11...Ministry Gift, John 10:9-13...shepherd vs. hireling, 1 Corinthians 12:28...governments refers to this gift, 1 Timothy 3:1...desiring to be an overseer or bishop, 1 Timothy 2:4-5... rules household well, 1 Thessalonians 5:23...wholeness, Matthew 9:35-36...compasssion for the weary or the scattered
Teacher- Divine gift, supernatural endowment, aim straight, well-defined, doesn't cause division, an office of edification, marked revelation, not an inferior call, instructor, watering ministry, brings light to the understanding of, always growing this area of learning, study important, wisdom
*Examples- Ephesians 4:11...Ministry gift, 1 Corinthians 12:28-29...gift, 1 Corinthians 3:6-9....watering, Romans 12:4....office, 1 Corinthians 3:1-2...a teach, Romans 12: 6-8...teaching gift
Office of Helps - A helper or reliever, providing assistance to help support the ministers of the five fold offices, shows mercy with genuine eagerness, cheerfulness and joy. Servant/hospitality, music ministers, prayer, intercessors and administrations, various art forms that glorify, edifying dance
1 Corinthians 12:28...helps, Romans 16:1...servant, 1 Timothy 3:8-13...deacon, Romans 16:3-4...helpers, Romans 16:6...laboror, 2 Kings 3:15-16....ministers of music, Romans 15:9, 1 John 5:14-15; and many more on prayer
These are not exhaustive to ministry gifts to the church but gives somewhat of an outline.
________________________________________________
Often times other gifts to the body of Christ think that characteristics of that gift or gift mix is so very different from their own...A teacher sometimes think evangelists are too flamboyant and sensational. Evangellists think teachers are dry and dogmatic. Evangelists and teachers might however, agree that prophets are intense and extreme. While all of these thoughts might carry a bit of truth birthed from perspective it would be wrong to judge each others gifts because without it we can no longer be whole and it takes all the body together to make it whole.... Rather the prophet is to inspire the teacher. The teacher is to steady the prophet. The evangelist is always reminding us that the lost are dying and in need of a Savior. The pastor demonstrates much nurturing and care. The apostle is to lead the way to new ground and establishment of new works.
Now let me say this....with a story. My daughter was always neat as a pin, organized to a fault you might say, kept a list at her bedside complete with a list of all she needed to do the next day or even "in the middle of the night" inspirations. I would explain her closet to you like this...Long sleeved, short sleeves, long sleeve sweaters, short sleeve sweaters, jeans, capris, longer skirts, shorter skirts, shorts, jackets...and so on. You get the general idea. It was nice and neat and likely as I recall also within each category was color coordinated. She went off to college in August and by mid November when she arrived home for the Thanksgiving holiday within hours she was off to visit friends. As I poked my head in her bedroom to get something I was shocked that I could not even open the door. It was a disaster area. I literally had to push the door open. After I took a deep breath in shock, not because she needed to clean it up since it was vacation for her....but because this was not her character at all.....I had the biggest laugh of my life! I was really very happy for her because I saw what had happened. She found freedom in being able to let go and be messy and not have to worry about it because she had now figured out how to let go of "having" to do it one way. I giggled and as I walked away it was as if I seen her throwing a bucket of paint on her perfectly aligned closet. Now that would not be the sane thing to do and would not accomplish anything but I am trying to say she had the foundation of what to do and not to do and she was finding balance from always being the task oriented, teacher, highly organized type...and there is nothing wrong with this...but she was now learning how to let go and flow with what was happening in the moment and she could not do that before. There was a far deeper meaning there than an organized closet. It was like she displayed or likened to the teacher and later moved into more of a prophetic area. She was not a preacher or teacher but did display characteristics of these gifts.
Everyone learns differently. This is why there is no gift mix. I have personally seen it happen exactly backwards for two other of my children...hands on, really had to concentrate and pay attention to even think about being organized but could do anything hands on quickly, singing, playing instruments came easily and learn sign language quickly without a thought. As time went on they learned the qualities of organization. These two children displayed other qualities first and then learned organization with time.
Sometimes you will note a gift operating in your life or someone will tell you that you display characteristics of a particular gift. Test the spirits. Listen. Pray. Let the Spirit confirm the Word. What are your personal experiences? Listen to your spirit. He will equip you. Be moved by what you believe and not as much by what you see or feel.Study. Look for characteristics of that office. You may find you display more than one gift or office in your life. A quick overview...
Apostle-Commissioned Specific
Prophetic-Inspirational Insight
Evangelist- Messenger of the Good News
Pastor-Shepherd
Teacher-Divine Aim-Straight Teach
Helps- Reliever
Reading over all of this can be used as a study but can do more harm than good if you think you have to fit into it somewhere specific. A suggestion might be to read it, study it ...if you deem necessary and then...throw paint on it and enjoy! : ) The Holy Spirit will show you. Let's do something edifying with the Holy Spirit and have revival. I bet when it winds down if it does : ) we will know more because it's in that deep place of the spirit that you get the confirmation of all that is written in the Word.
Amen! Let's go!

Where Inspiration Flows From
Inspiration flows from the Holy Spirit so here is what I have to share on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the strengthener to human personality.
The Holy Spirit does 3 things...
1) speaks truth
2) tells always about Jesus
3) doesn't do anything opposed to scripture
~1 Corinthians 12:4-Diversities of gifts are gifts of the Holy Spirit as in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12
~1 Corinthians 12:5-Differences of Ministries is gifts of Jesus as in Ephesians 4:11
~1 Corinthians 12:6-Diversities of Activities are gifts given by God as in Romans 12:6-8
Romans 5:5 says...The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Amen! Let's get filled up so we can pour, pour, pour...more and more!
Ephesians 5:18 says....Be being filled with the Holy Spirit to be continually filled, whether by hearing, reading or by the laying on of hands...we are commanded in the scriptures to be filled.
2 Corinthians 1:20 says...For all the promises of God are yes and amen to the glory of God through us. What has He promised you?
Illumination of Christ in you is your countenance aglow with Him. Amen! Changes things on the outside. From the inside out.
The anointing breaks the yoke to all things ungodly trying to be about or around you. 1 John 2:20 says....But you have an anointing from the Holy One and you know all things.
________________________________________________________
So, here we go. Gifts of the Holy Spirit...1 Corinthians Chapter 12 ...9 Gifts
Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served].And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit; To another wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit; To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues. All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are not to be confused with the fruits of the Holy Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. These are not our own works but the product of what the Holy Spirit does through us. Here are the ways we might see them together. Not necessarily in order....
Revelation Gifts: These 3 work or operate together at times to reveal
Word of Knowledge- given in the moment for a specific need, can speak of past or present usually. The discouraged are comforted and can be the inward voice of existence.
Examples ...

~2 Kings 6: 9-12...Warn a King of Enemy Plan
~1 Samuel 9: 3-6, 19-20....Recover lost Property
~1 Samuel 10: 21-23...Discover a man hiding
Word of Wisdom- divine revelation given by the spirit of God concerning divine purpose of the will of God. Speaks always of the future. Word of wisdom often operates closely with word of knowledge. Comes in many forms. Can be conditional but know that our God is a God of mercy.
Examples....
~Acts 9:10-16
~Acts 8:26-29
Discerning of Spirits- Note: It is not the Spirit of Discernment, gives and lends insight into the spiritual world, can be in an open vision of the Holy Spirit as in John's visions noted in Revelation, sometimes see into spirit realm to see Jesus, also tells/reveals what kind of a spirit is behind a manifestation, discerning; not mind reading, sometimes seeing and hearing into other realms
Examples....
~Exodus 33:20-23
~Acts 16:16-18
_________________________________________________________
Power Gifts: These 3 often work together to display power, power of God flowing through you
Gift of Faith- greatest of the power gifts
~Passively this gift can operate to receive in belief things God honors (below are 4 different ways)
1-Special Faith- supernatural faith imparted after baptism of Holy Spirit or as the Spirit wills...1 Cor. 12:9
2-Fruit of Faith- comes after salvation experience...Galatians 5:22-23
3-General Faith- every believer has this....Romans 12:3
4-Saving Faith- leads one to salvation...Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9-10
~Actively (does) this gift can operate, can receive miracles
1-Supernatural Uttered Word Comes to Pass
Examples...
Personal protection...Daniel 6:16, 7, 19-23
Supernatural sustenance....1 Kings 17:2-6
Raising the dead....Life restored in every example of the Word!
Ministering the Holy Spirit....Galatians 3:5
Working of Miracles- supernatural intervention in ordinary course of nature OR temporary suspension of accustomed order through the Spirit (Ex. Sun Stopped)
Examples....
Double Portion- 2 Kings 2:9-14
Meal for the Needy- 1 Kings 17: 12-16
Stuck Blind for a Season- Acts 13: 4-12
Paul's Shipwreck- Acts 27
Jesus Rebukes Storm- Mark 4:39
The Anointing- Acts 10:38
Gifts of Healing- works 2 ways...
1) deliver the sick
2) destroy works of devil in the human body, given to heal miraculously without natural means, are manifested through another person to you or can come directly by faith. The difference is the channel but same Holy Spirit.
Examples....
~1 Corinthians 12:28-30
~Acts 10:38
________________________________________________________
Inspiration Gifts (or) Gifts of Utterance: These 3 gifts operate often together to say something
Gift of Prophecy- Supernatural utterance in a known tongue, you are speaking for God, love imperative
Examples...
~1 Corinthians 14:1...pursue love and desire to prophesy
~1 Corinthians 13:2...speaking mysteries to God, not man
~1 Corinthians 14:3...gift to edify and exhortation to men
~1 Corinthians 14:4...edificaiton to the church
~1 Corinthians 15:5...prophecy in known tongue or unknown with interpretation-associated with office
Gift of Tongues- Supernatural utterance never learned by speaker, not understood by speaker or necessarily understood by the hearer.
Examples....
~ Mark 16:17...Supernatural sign
~1 Corinthians 12:30...Public Ministry of Tongues
~1 Corinthians 14:27-28 Interpretation
Gift of Interpretation- supernatural flowing forth by the spirit, the meaning of an utterance (utterance means something uttered; vocal expression) spoken in tongues, can also happen in interpretation of song in an unknown tongue. It's NOT a translation in other words. More than one peson can interpret the same utterance AND have a different interpretation. It is for all and the Spirit is not limited. The interpretation is not called a message but an utterance not to confuse. God has much to say through us.
Example...
~Public utterance of tongues may be long and interpretation shorter most often- 1 Corinthians 14:27
~Interpretation - 1 Corinthians 14:13-15
___________________________________________________
These 9 gifts are not made of concrete. They happen. They move with. They are in a flow. They are compounded greatly in the corporate anointing. They are hindered by wrong spirits such as envy, greed, strife and the like. We invite the Holy Spirit not only to come and be and take part with us but as it is spoken to us to move and to give away whatever is given to us. No gift is for the purpose of condemnation or the lack of a gift is not for condemnation as well. (Romans 8:1) He gives liberally. We seek after them. They are a blessing, a part of the Word. They are what helps grow the church within, the church corporate and the fellowship individually but together as the church. Jesus is always the primary focus. If you have him you have everything you need for growth toward godliness. Do we slip? Yes. Are we forgiven? Yes. Must we forgive one another and move on? Yes.
Hinderances to the move of the Holy Spirit are much incorporated into the same hinderances to revival that we all crave to ourselves; our own spirit, but also corporately. It often happens when we don't even realize it. We just repent and move on. He is sooo good! If we get overly excited and forget about foundational truths of the Holy Spirit's counsel, if we carry an attitude of pride, when we forget about saving the lost, when we look to professionals rather than the church, when we forget intercession, when we forget about the whole body, when we despise prophecy, when we are in some form of sin; known or unknown, when we don't faithfully look to care of the brethren, when we forget about others and are not patient....Much of this is right out of 1 Thessalonians 5. A good read.
Not everyone will carry every gift, whether by transfer or by way of your personal faith. Though prophecy is noted to be the best gift and indeed the scriptures say to covet to prophesy (note this does not mean to hurt others to do so). It then goes back to the motive of the heart. It is a pressing in but more over in your own pursuit of the heart is where it first is prepared to grow. It takes all the gifts operating together just as it takes the whole body operating together. If we are missing a foot or hand we are not complete. So, with that every gift is a good gift given from above and is the most important one at the moment to minister with.
Ok, now that I have typed all this without condemnation I am just right now gonna get on my knees because I do not at all want to hinder the Holy Spirit and something somehow has and I know it.
P.S. Thank you to whomever chose better colors than I for this post ; )

Ok, now that I have typed all this without condemnation I am just right now gonna get on my knees because I do not at all want to hinder the Holy Spirit and something somehow has and I know it.
P.S. Thank you to whomever chose better colors than I for this post ; )
Where Inspiration Flows
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.

Inspired!
I am inspiration ....(spontaneous love)
Poured upon the heart .....(mine to yours)
A precious broken cup .....(where healing is needed)
Love all bottled up .....(my healing and yours)
Fashioned in the moment ....(spontaneous)
Spontaneous from above .....(not mine to give)
I, both, see you and I know ....(must be received)
With both knees I'm bowed low ....(submission, as we pray)
I long to pour upon you ....(give it away)
Words and songs of healing, too ....(in the Spirit)
Having hands made of the Father ....(transferred love)
That longs to be and do .....(of Him and through Him)
Creative inspiration ....(in the Glory!)
Taking long to be ......(wow is all I can say)
As wine ferments in bottles ....(blessing in the grapes)
Of days of old like me .....(His word is not only ancient but fresh and new)
I'll love you like no other ....(as He does to us)
Fear grips one who doesn't know ....(runs and shys away)
Don't run my love; for I am free ......(its in the moment)
It's what was done upon that tree .....(from beginning to end)
Let my hands just touch your heart ....(no fear)
And bring you what you need .....(good gifts)
So much life to be granted ....(given away)
From my abundant seed ....(where we came from)
Let me wash you with my glory ...(word showered in spirit)
And water of my word .....(....again)
I want to serve you as I know ....(from inspiration)
To be that blessing in the flow .....(of the Spirit)
You'll see through crystal waters ....(pure washing)
The wisdom from my love ....(His Word)
Praise of dawns pure light ....(Cheering on the Morning)
So much joy and no more fight...Just love ....(abundance of the Word!)
...I am the Anointing!.........Freely Give, Freely Receive!

Royal Line
There's a freedom cry of and for peace in the house. Let's all be drenched in the magnitude of the waters of life. Here's the bread and wine of His word divine. Take it in and let it be you. Come and dine- be filled to overflow I hear. Words speaking and creating through precious ones...Confimation. Woah..how I love Him! Oh, How he loves you!
Peace-ma-king...Peacemaking, as I saw it on the wall. Matthew 5:9 says...Blessed be the peace-makers, for they shall be called sons of God and Romans 8:14...For as many are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Galatians 5:16-17 says...I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do what you wish. Move into the fruits : ) He is so funny! We either see him staunchy and religious or we see Him as the giver of life and happiness. I choose Him to be all the wonderment of my heart, because in it is life and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. With that comes repentance as well as grace abundant. Enjoy Him, I say for all He is to you and in you. He is not stuffy, but fun and nonassuming.
Kings and Queens...attitudes of hearts. Stirring unto edification...
Just how is a King chosen? Likely a natural born leader. He is quite possibly a war hero of either days of old or spiritually speaking....Beginning in Ephesians 6:10 (Amplified) says this...In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. 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. 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). Likely been through a lot. Perhaps the least likely. God doesn't call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (to ones needing a Savior) but as we are given unto what we need we give it away also. He can come into his own by way of a spoken word or by the Holy Spirit but not by religiosity of succession and the games of like. Englands' King does not come by way of a Queen, to say that she take a king in marriage, he does not take the title. I say to you, you can be named as such and receive and trust yet to stand in the presence of God and tell another who you are...that is trust in God! There is no other suggestion in it! You are who the identity of the word says you are! Receive! You are the chosen! No matter...its not a bowing to the enemies plan for our life.
Predetermined by God...not premeditated by the enemy. He and all of his cohorts are lost and bound in Jesus name...the name above all names.
Moved upon by the Holy Spirit. Must receive the call or title, not the position. In it because God spoke it to you in some way or over a period of time you have come to know. Absolutely by bloodline...the bloodline of reception! Must receive the Lord into your life to reign in this life as a King. Freely give, freely recieve. It's the outwardness of our love to others. God says...What is the motive of the heart? ...it is this that which decides. 1 Samuel 16:7 says.... Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” God cares about the outside but here he is saying it is about the heart. God sees the heart and cares for the heart. He looks not at the outward garments, yet we all invision an attire and we dress in the way we are moved to. He is a one who goes the distance, fights a good fight and certainly has motive to care for. It is not covetness, but love and thanksgiving that gets that which we desire (1 Corinthians 14:1 Amplified and Philippians 4:6 Amplified) and gives in the same way. Warring after is warring against wrong spirits, not faces of the blessed and loved of God...Ye all!
2 Chronicles 20:15b says...Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great mutlitude, for the battle is not your, but God's. Then go into war with not only the sword, but song...Worship the Lord first. Worship is always first unless you desire the fight and none do if their hearts be right before God. 2 Chronicles 20: 21-30. Worship and praise! Get excited! Invite His presence! Take the spoil! It's in the victory. This is not theft. This is marked of the wicked principalities. It was called the Valley of Blessing and there was rest all around. Amen! Whether corporate or intimately alone you are touched of heaven to worship Him first. Three points of recall...
1) worship Him, raised hands without doubting Timothy says.
2) speak His word back to him (Isaiah 43:26)...state your case that you are aquitted, plead the blood (devil and his adversaries cannot stand under it...must flee) reminding God of what He has done for you in the promises of the Word,
3) and finally... ask Him for what your hearts' desires. He loves, loves, loves to hear you even though he has already clothed the flowers of the field ...this does not mean to not speak to Him because He already knows. He loves you so much he awaits your voice, to speak, to share, to communicate, to know you have heard. It brings/manifests the spirit to the physical understanding.
Never stop worshiping. It's where your prosperity is located. It's where the people begin to hear. It's where joy is. It's where all areas of the heart open to what comes after. Jeremiah 33:6-11. No matter what you feel like...praise Him. Your prayer is seen. Your heart cry is heard. Worship Him in intercession and Jude 20 says...be built up (by saying) in your most holy faith Ephesians 6:10 says.. Be strong in the power of His might. Romans 10:17 says...faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. John 16:13b says...whatever the spirit of truth speaks he will tell you things to come.
A Queen...just how is a Queen chosen? Two ways...She is either the wife of the the King by association or she is reigning as Queen by the royal line. I would suggest spiritually you never wait to be married to the King...to your Lord and Savior Jesus. Simply ask Him into your heart in a believing manner and the scriptures say in your spoken confession He will come into your heart. The Queen of England now reigns alone and in the past others have reigned alone; even still though it is not a must. Must be out of love. I ask you, is it circumstance? God is bigger than circumstance; whatever it is troubling to you or me. The whole of it is based on the word of God. God says he gives desires of the heart because you ask with thanksgiving. Worship.
A beautiful reflection of deep and enduring love of two lives coming together as one and continuing on forever together of hearts mixed together in His perfection. The Holy Spirit has spoken...its all in the heart of the King and what each chose to do with it.
I hear .."Trust" even as spoken of late...Seeing it as Spirit arises in order. Speak the word and spirit follows the spoken word. John 6:63 and Acts 10:44. Miracles that pour fourth from song, from word, from the spirit. Amen! In this there is a teach unexplainable until you are in it. As the word is spoken the place is filled like an an Acts encounter. Man cannot do it alone. It takes the whole body coming together as one.
God tells the King things to come, even to our spirits. God wants restoration to come to the house, order and leadership, to grow away from all that has been and into the newness of life in the supernatural arena of loving one another in truth and not eager for false gain, but for supernatural wholeness. That is where its at. Truth and decisions and togetherness....to the home, and to the church house. Where the glory flows in the simple, in the fun, in the excitement of each day with Him.
Are you in the royal line? If you are not it is as simple as asking him into your life. You have the King in Jesus. Now act out your faith as the King and Queen you are! Glory to His Name!
Peace-ma-king...Peacemaking, as I saw it on the wall. Matthew 5:9 says...Blessed be the peace-makers, for they shall be called sons of God and Romans 8:14...For as many are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

You Are Mine & I Am Yours
Are you ready? Abandon in Worship. Miracles. Miracles that last forever. He speaks and touches your heart. I am yours if you take me. Overwelming peace. Precious banquet table. No longer my own. Manifest love all around. Live in the deepest measure. Love that isn't a must, but an 'I will'. Growing in loving. Light expelling all darkness. Freedom. Open up. Open up your arms. Overwelming kind of love. Looking into the eyes of meaning. Miraculous. Love that expels shame. Full to overflow. Goodness. Love with all your heart. Oneness. Speechless. Free from the old. Fling wide the doors of your heart. Free from the old. See redemption.

Face to Face
3:05am...I hear loudly..."Repent, He is nearer than you once thought!" Weightiness for the people who will not hear....Grace for those who want Him! Much good coming, evil therefore pushing. Oh, how it knows where it goes and shall not return. Fate of evil scrambles unto nothingness.Twisted lies into many facets. Competition has a certained stinch about it; having no longer a servanthood in many parts, stinking in His nostrils smelling more like burning flesh reserved for the devil's crowd. Yes, those operating on the outside are going to burst the gates of hell wide open in their entrance if not repentant in their heart. Repent that refreshing comes! Bow your knee to your Heavenly Father and ask him to forgive you of all that ails your heart of sin and know that you know that you know that you are white as snow as you speak, even before you realize! He's handing out courage, confidence, great mercies, songs of joy, handfuls of grace...Will you not accept? I heard someone say, "Let the burden go and the anointing flow". Is that not for us all. Such love awaits.
Let glory come together...face to face...a face to face encounter!
Let glory come together...face to face...a face to face encounter!

Until Day Breaks
3:57am...Awake oh Precious One that I might speak to you just before the break of day. I want to pour into you rain from my fountain, the rain of the season, the infilliing of Me. Come and be loved in Me and through My Word. You are sharing with Me the best part of My day and Oh how I long to give much back to you. Long to share with you My greatest dreams, heavenly desires for you, filled with the jewels of My blessing. Come smell the aroma of the wind of My Spirit. Let Me walk with you and talk with you with righteous conversation and in that holiness I will share. Know that the fullness of My love is filling the quiet emptiness of the brand new morning within you. I trust you share what I give. Dig deep in the sand. There is much for you. Not hard to find...more fun, a pulling you deeper into My word. Calling you to an invitation of joy. Pleasure in my righteousness; no requirements in Me. It's done. Following, flowing, elaborate love flowing off the pages of My word as the waters wash up onto the shore. There is treasure within it. Open it up. There your heart will be also. Find Me in the stillness as a gentle wind, in the cool breeze of the darkened sky round about. Let the atmosphere change you, heal you and breathe in you. Awake oh morning and be. Let the singing and dancing begin. Breathe in all I have for you. It's your glory. Let the morning shine in your heart.

Life In The House
Communication is the message. Incredible importance to Him today. Conveyance of all that matters. Convergence into reality. For the body has been heavy about this of late. It's of immense importance. The things the eyes of my heart see...that intercession states...that the cry flow out onto a puddle of words here....I pray you hear me. My heart is heavy in love with you, with a message of His I cannot contain.
(Small testimony - A little side journey...Perhaps you may know other who relate...Buck teeth, tripped over my mouth as I spoke, my mouth open as I slept...would this not be enough but there's more....couldn't sing right, was told I wasn't aloud, couldn't make it to choir, didn't like my music, never fit it, shut off at every prospect, drownded dreams at every turn, made fun of for dozens of reasons, used, lied to, tried to be abused in many areas, devil showing up strong, broken home, wrong paths, much responsibility. Can you get a tiny glimpse of why the enemy would not want us to use our gifts to glorify His Name? Enough I say! Silence is crushed under these words! Romans 16:20...now)
How do you communicate? Dance, art, teach, sing, preach, laugh, hug, chat...Do you do all to His glory? I speak out righteous desires. Do you purpose to love the many and help them or does motives suggest something less than full spirit of worship...? Worship has penetrated my life for more of my days than not, even at times I look and I see such pain and deception. Oh God! Oh God! From playing as a child; endless fun unto the sweet desire of mature worship that really looks like a child. The true love cannot be missing to all the members. Inside and outside of our hearts. I sense already a movement upon my fingers that there is a progression coming of a check in the spirit unto the fullness of worship flooding the ground we kneel on. Forgive us Lord! For all things are made perfect in weakness. All creation made to Your Glory.
We see indeed into the realm of the Spirit but the enemy of our life and dreams wants to bring division into half-hearted devotion. It is ever so small. Begins in an organized thought, control comes in, a larger door is opened to offense, pain is given out, love to the brethren is weakened to a state that flashes its eyes openly, lack of compassion is in place (Heavenly Father, forgive us!) doesn't receive the encouragement, won't receive that another be blessed, pride, doesn't submit to one another in love that was created between all...that design of absolute truth; the pleasure of the anointing- a coming together in fellowship with one another and nothing but nothing could make you "really" want to depart this place of sweetness. All else has no other remedy but repentance. The element of time in the supernatural doesn't know a limit because that requires a place of cessation. But...His Mercy endures forever and ever and ever!
Let us flow in Him, in the Spirit, no regimen, door open to love and care of one another, blessings given, character of the Lord that removes all deception of love....woah....the anointing within comes alive and truly...nothing but nothing could make you "really" want to depart this place of pleasant love for each other. Sing. Bask in the joy. Just play. No discouragement allowed in this realm. Life! Purpose! Encouragement! I need to hear you! We all need to be heard! It's the cycle of Blessing. Sometimes...the words grace the page so fast I become breathless at the love I know wants and needs to be poured out through each of us. Looks never ending from this view. Almost euphoric. A prayerful, worshipful, repentant state, thick fog filling the house, fillling your spirit, filling the sanctuary, filling your sanctuary...Unmistaken. Undeniable. Woah..The brilliance of the wedding. It's coming.
Sometimes... more often than not, I do not know what the beginning of the task looks like until I've begun forward unnoticed. Go to that one person needing a hug, that one needing a drink, that one that needs just one word, the one whose smile will be graditude enough to satisfy one long into the day, the one word the Lord gives and shared that sets someone on a cloud long into their dreams. Ah, the overflow....but there's more than this. Oh church, we have been there...each of us. Perhaps its lack of rest. Thats an enemy to you and me. Erase figuratively, yet as a spiritual act of worship any devisive way off the chalkboard of the heart. Praise him for the infilling of the Holy Spirit! Honest before him. Let communication unveil to the ultimate worship. Ask for it, give it away, pray it down...all around!
Adore Him, be ruined for Him, sing, pray and with understanding...He said yesterday...."Sing, blue, depths of you, deep calls out, holy, righteous, wonderous lovely one, full of measurement of all your love, pure, touch of righteousness, streams come alive, graditude spills, angels shout aloud, mercy, joyful grace". Prosperous and best are the ways of the Spirit. Call on the anointing within...
Are you cold? Of course you are. It's 90 degrees out : ) Don't forget your Garment of Praise! Leave the spirit of heaviness behind. Wear well, in your spirit, the Oil of Joy! Everyone be beautifully dressed in the place of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit...Romans 14:17. Royalty. Joy is pleasure within.
Let all things that ail you be cast off the shoulders onto Him. He took all the pain, all the offense, all the untruth, all the lies, all the bitterness, all the sin, all the past, all the judgement, all the lack, all the limitations, all the fear, all the brokenness, all the trouble, all the grief and.....When we let it all go...every ounce of hurt supernaturally.. it is like an ounce of the expense and the expanse of perfume....poured out. It is removed and carried in through the same door...the doorway of Love! Powerful, Unceasing, Magnetic Love!
We will find it. It's a guarantee. Sealed. 7 days ago confirmation came in the spirit of so much undone. Extraordinary things about to happen. Authority. Devil stopped. Truth. Rejected by most but the word flows on the inside. Calendar marked tonight. Church age about to end. It's about to be given back. Kindness. No more fear in the churches. Priceless and valuable. Let me hear you. You have been disappointed even in your trust. Great courage. When others were afraid you ran track. No backing up. Bow the knee in the night. Receive. July was the marker you saw back then. Measure by word and spirit ...never man. Begins in the household of faith. Chosen rightly. Ready. In motion. Open your heart. There is a sound to find and there's the sound of a drum. Great grace being poured upon Pastors and leaders. Open the heavens over cities....so much for me. I share with you..........Woah!!!
With their voices (shout aloud, fame, lightness, noise, spark, yell sing, sound) they shall sing (triumph, joy, shout, stridulous sound, shout aloud for joy, rejoice) together; For they shall see (advise self, visions, view, gaze, discern, consider, joyfully, look upon, present, provide, have respect) eye(fountain) to eye (fountain)
Isaiah 52:8 b
But the hour is coming; and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4: 23-24
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching, and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual (singing in tongues, supernatural newsong) songs (chants, metrical compositions), singing with grace (graditude gift, influence upon the heart, benefit, liberal pleasure) in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16
Prostrate on my face....overtaken in the grace.
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?!
(Small testimony - A little side journey...Perhaps you may know other who relate...Buck teeth, tripped over my mouth as I spoke, my mouth open as I slept...would this not be enough but there's more....couldn't sing right, was told I wasn't aloud, couldn't make it to choir, didn't like my music, never fit it, shut off at every prospect, drownded dreams at every turn, made fun of for dozens of reasons, used, lied to, tried to be abused in many areas, devil showing up strong, broken home, wrong paths, much responsibility. Can you get a tiny glimpse of why the enemy would not want us to use our gifts to glorify His Name? Enough I say! Silence is crushed under these words! Romans 16:20...now)
How do you communicate? Dance, art, teach, sing, preach, laugh, hug, chat...Do you do all to His glory? I speak out righteous desires. Do you purpose to love the many and help them or does motives suggest something less than full spirit of worship...? Worship has penetrated my life for more of my days than not, even at times I look and I see such pain and deception. Oh God! Oh God! From playing as a child; endless fun unto the sweet desire of mature worship that really looks like a child. The true love cannot be missing to all the members. Inside and outside of our hearts. I sense already a movement upon my fingers that there is a progression coming of a check in the spirit unto the fullness of worship flooding the ground we kneel on. Forgive us Lord! For all things are made perfect in weakness. All creation made to Your Glory.
We see indeed into the realm of the Spirit but the enemy of our life and dreams wants to bring division into half-hearted devotion. It is ever so small. Begins in an organized thought, control comes in, a larger door is opened to offense, pain is given out, love to the brethren is weakened to a state that flashes its eyes openly, lack of compassion is in place (Heavenly Father, forgive us!) doesn't receive the encouragement, won't receive that another be blessed, pride, doesn't submit to one another in love that was created between all...that design of absolute truth; the pleasure of the anointing- a coming together in fellowship with one another and nothing but nothing could make you "really" want to depart this place of sweetness. All else has no other remedy but repentance. The element of time in the supernatural doesn't know a limit because that requires a place of cessation. But...His Mercy endures forever and ever and ever!
Let us flow in Him, in the Spirit, no regimen, door open to love and care of one another, blessings given, character of the Lord that removes all deception of love....woah....the anointing within comes alive and truly...nothing but nothing could make you "really" want to depart this place of pleasant love for each other. Sing. Bask in the joy. Just play. No discouragement allowed in this realm. Life! Purpose! Encouragement! I need to hear you! We all need to be heard! It's the cycle of Blessing. Sometimes...the words grace the page so fast I become breathless at the love I know wants and needs to be poured out through each of us. Looks never ending from this view. Almost euphoric. A prayerful, worshipful, repentant state, thick fog filling the house, fillling your spirit, filling the sanctuary, filling your sanctuary...Unmistaken. Undeniable. Woah..The brilliance of the wedding. It's coming.
Sometimes... more often than not, I do not know what the beginning of the task looks like until I've begun forward unnoticed. Go to that one person needing a hug, that one needing a drink, that one that needs just one word, the one whose smile will be graditude enough to satisfy one long into the day, the one word the Lord gives and shared that sets someone on a cloud long into their dreams. Ah, the overflow....but there's more than this. Oh church, we have been there...each of us. Perhaps its lack of rest. Thats an enemy to you and me. Erase figuratively, yet as a spiritual act of worship any devisive way off the chalkboard of the heart. Praise him for the infilling of the Holy Spirit! Honest before him. Let communication unveil to the ultimate worship. Ask for it, give it away, pray it down...all around!
Adore Him, be ruined for Him, sing, pray and with understanding...He said yesterday...."Sing, blue, depths of you, deep calls out, holy, righteous, wonderous lovely one, full of measurement of all your love, pure, touch of righteousness, streams come alive, graditude spills, angels shout aloud, mercy, joyful grace". Prosperous and best are the ways of the Spirit. Call on the anointing within...
Are you cold? Of course you are. It's 90 degrees out : ) Don't forget your Garment of Praise! Leave the spirit of heaviness behind. Wear well, in your spirit, the Oil of Joy! Everyone be beautifully dressed in the place of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit...Romans 14:17. Royalty. Joy is pleasure within.
Let all things that ail you be cast off the shoulders onto Him. He took all the pain, all the offense, all the untruth, all the lies, all the bitterness, all the sin, all the past, all the judgement, all the lack, all the limitations, all the fear, all the brokenness, all the trouble, all the grief and.....When we let it all go...every ounce of hurt supernaturally.. it is like an ounce of the expense and the expanse of perfume....poured out. It is removed and carried in through the same door...the doorway of Love! Powerful, Unceasing, Magnetic Love!
We will find it. It's a guarantee. Sealed. 7 days ago confirmation came in the spirit of so much undone. Extraordinary things about to happen. Authority. Devil stopped. Truth. Rejected by most but the word flows on the inside. Calendar marked tonight. Church age about to end. It's about to be given back. Kindness. No more fear in the churches. Priceless and valuable. Let me hear you. You have been disappointed even in your trust. Great courage. When others were afraid you ran track. No backing up. Bow the knee in the night. Receive. July was the marker you saw back then. Measure by word and spirit ...never man. Begins in the household of faith. Chosen rightly. Ready. In motion. Open your heart. There is a sound to find and there's the sound of a drum. Great grace being poured upon Pastors and leaders. Open the heavens over cities....so much for me. I share with you..........Woah!!!

Heart After God
One of the greatest gifts you can bring to your King is the gift of absolute sincerity in prayer, intercession or song. <----(This has spurred me on this day!) My every fiber of my being shouts this...it's the way...oh wow. Pure hearts that says in it...a sincere heart, soul, mind and strength. Totally given over to Him. Total abandonment is sweetly sincere to Him. This is the bottle of perfume Mary 'wasted' at Jesus's feet. Total abandonment. Shouts LOVE. Smells ever so sweet. Loving like this is sharing and having the character of Jesus. It is pure and carries fidelity. Knowing you love the people sincerely; a pressing into it. Tears are reality. Tears mean that you mean business of the Father's business. Some say your communication won't take you there. I say you were made in His image and He made us to be love and to communicate and how we do that is every way He did or we could not. Is not everything given of Him? Genesis 1:27 We simply look to Him to go deeper. And deep calls to deep. That place of placid purity, forgiveness, repentance, cleansing, fullness and wholeness.
This place doesn't place you at a place of defeat but should you look through the binoculars it looks like a sweet child digging for treasure and the look of excitement when it's found. And your excitement to see it in your view. In Genesis 1:29 He says...See, He says..Look. Now drop the binoculars because those are to see things far from you. Press through the atmosphere. Now just look through the eyes of your heart (what do you see?) and let Him speak to you and sing to you and love you and be through you....all things we already have understanding of. He is not far. Much healing right there. No magnifying glass, no binoculars necessary. They have their place but not so much here. His love is always available. It speaks. It washes you with His purity so to speak. It meditates on the law but doesn't become unbending. Shares and loves..
It reminds me of Sarah's character... recalled in 1 Peter 3:6, in love and adoration calling Abraham lord. Purity. Strong love, a contrite heart.One verse in 1 Chronicles 29:17 (NLT) says...I know my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. That makes me Shout!
It's were the light of grace is available to the spirit...the complete package of all that is sought out in prayer.There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The Holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High...Psalm 46:4 It's begins in humble adoration and when prayed through ends in the answer of laughter. Let go of all you hang onto....such glory rests there....joy comes....and it is powerful!!!

Freedom is....
.... a tea party taking place between a young child and a teddy bear from a peek around the corner ; ), skipping rocks across the creek, laying in the grass listening to the night sounds and counting the stars, sitting amidst the boulders in a mountain stream, hiking walking trails, finding the one, spotting the sparkly rock amidst all the dull ones, tree houses, picking beautiful flowers for the table, the really good meal that hasn't been for awhile, strong scent of a honeysuckle tree, white roses, daffodils at Easter, unceasing, never-ending love, treasure hunts in the word of God, finding sea shells on the beach, and we can't forget sandcastles, a song that touches your spirit and breaks you, a contrite spirit, recall of clearing all the hurdles, walks in the woods in the fall, the break of day, a warm day with no humidity ..ha, singing my babies to sleep at night, the many versions of the bible, reading a good book, an excellent workout, the most exact timely word that melts your heart unto encouragement, love of the brethren, experiences you never forget, the moment you first laid eyes on your child, a really good read, a movie that you are excited to see, loving your children, vision you could about write a book about, a great message that hits home in your heart, finding the treasure of your heart at the end of the rainbow knowing luck had nothing to do with it, the perfect picture, words that jump off the page, new shoes, seeing salvation take place in a heart, watching seed enter in, big hugs, the miraculous wonder working power flowing, character, exhortation, servant's heart, virtue, wisdom, a timely word, throwing out the clock during worship and letting what will be be, the power of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, spontaneity, throw-down worship, the colors of the autumn leaves, twinkling Christmas lights, the fire of His holiness, trusting His might, an attitude of gratitude, a calendar full of fellowship, waterfalls, the night sky in the gulf, playing a game you haven't played in years, doing things that everyone else thinks is silly, the deepest places of prayer, finding baby bunnies in the hollowed part of the tree, a clean house, revelation from above, truth and love, a verse you see twice, victory, serving one who has virtually nothing realizing they have most to gain, music that makes the heart dance, seeing the puzzle fit together and realizing there are no pieces missing because He did it, a flowing adoration that speaks volumes in a glance or a word, true forgiveness, deliverance unto, adventure, enthusiasm, zeal, expectation that finds the answer and it's still fun, heaven and earth mentality, giving & receiving the servant's blessing, havin' church that doesn't look like 'having church' ; ), abundant life, zoe flowing, every multifaceted perspective of the diamond, recovering what was lost after a long time missing, true encouragement to another, loud thankful freedom song, radiance in the church, power of the holy spirit to the people...These are some of what freedom is!
