He is RISEN – Bill Chilcote

HE IS RISEN!

He is the Resurrection and life eternal.

His Blood is the power of the Eternal Covenant.

The incorruptible blood of Jesus Christ is on the mercy seat,

it is there as a witness that you and God have a covenant.

When we understand the blood covenant, we will never be the same. We will be as fearless as David facing the Giants in our life. The giants don’t have covenant with God. So when you face uncircumcised problems, remember they are defenseless and defeated… and you have a covenant with a God who will fight your battles for you. If God is for you, we are more than conquerors through Christ. The Blood is the evidence.

He rose triumphantly from the grave on the 3rd day… for you!

He gave us authority in our world to exercise dominion over every giant in our life… because the blood speaks a better word.

It is an honor and a covenant right to use His Name, Jesus Christ!

So in Jesus Name… circumstances, fear, sickness, poverty, devil, this is the day the Lord will give you into my hands. We don’t ever have to be defeated in life, because we have a covenant with God our Father. We sit with Christ Jesus on His Throne in the completed victory on the Cross.

Thank you Jesus for what you did for me. Thank you that you love me deeply. Thank you for Resurrection Sunday!Galatians 4:7 (TPT) Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own sons and daughters and because we are His, We can access everything our Father has– for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah!

Be Still – Karen Austin

Do not despair because of what we see being reported by man. Man has limited insight as he mostly views the present from the past. Man’s statistics are based upon past statistics. The natural man lacks the insight to see possibilities that only God can bring. The truth that we seek is in His Word and what we hear His Spirit speak to us in times of stillness. It is easy to get quite, but harder to become still.

Quietness is when we turn off the TV, Facebook and instant messaging. We may even turn down the lights. Quietness is when we turn off the outside world, but many times inside, our “apps” are still running..

Stillness, however requires a setting aside of our opinions, our desires, our needs and focus solely upon Him, His greatness, His majesty, His faithfulness, His love. It is turning off all the inside noise that causes distraction from what He desires to share with us or do in us. Stillness is simply ‘being”. Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.”Stillness is about being in the present, not in the past, nor in the future. It is not a time to try to figure out your problems or the problems of those you love.

I have had many times of stillness when not a word was spoken between Him and I. But, oh my, there were times when He would begin to overwhelm me with His love for me. I did not go into this time with an agenda, just to be with Him. A. W. Tozer is quoted as saying: “If a man wants to be used by God, he cannot spend all of his time with people.”

Quiet worship is a good tool to help us enter into stillness. So i leave you with these two scriptures and some “stillness” music. My prayer is that you enter into times of stillness with the One who loves you.

“Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you…” James 4:8

“I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for him to rescue me.
Only God is my Savior, and he will not fail me.” Psalm 62:

The Blind Shepherd Leading the Blind Sheep – Frank Work

So this was said by a renown and highly public speaker, of a really big church. She made this statement to the congregation in the church, as well as those listening and watching at home. Not to mention what she released into the atmosphere. We really have to be careful what we are releasing from our lips. Below is what she said on a Sunday morning.

“When we obey God, we aren’t doing it for God, I mean that’s one way to look at it. We’re doing it for ourselves. Because God takes pleasure when were happy, that’s the thing that gives Him the greatest joy this morning. So I want you to know this morning, just do good for your own self. Do good because God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, your not doing it for God, really, your doing it for yourself. Because that’s what makes God happy, amen

One of the biggest problems in my opinion is that we as a people still have the mentality that we need an earthly king to lead us. So we will flock like blind sheep to whatever shepherd is saying the things that make me feel right about what I am doing at the time, whether right or wrong. More times than naught in my limited experience as a Christian I am seeing this played out more and more.

It almost seems as though that the children of God don’t want to be children of God, but subjects or slaves of God. We want to be told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. This is a learned behavior that is ingrained into our spirits over time. It’s a long process to unlearn this type of behavior, even longer when we don’t allow the Holy Spirit to teach and guide us as we learn what it means to be children of God and not slaves. Until we are willing to step up and take our rightful places in the kingdom of God, this sort of “Anti christ-like” message will continue to take place.

What’s funny is that I don’t blame the people speaking from the pulpits for the deceit and lies coming out of their mouths as much as I am sadden that people who know the Lord are giving ear to this prosperity message, which is warping , in my opinion , the true message of what Jesus preached, died and rose again; which is to embrace the message of the cross and dying to one’s self, and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.

I am in total agreement with the statement made by a friend of mine,   “God wants to kill us.” Which translate, God wants to destroy our flesh so it can not have sway over our spirit-man and interfere with our relationship with Jesus and hampers communication between the Father and us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not in agreement with these pastors who are speaking in a direction opposite to Jesus and His word, but I know according to the scripture what will happen, Jer 23:1 ” Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” says the Lord.”

What can I do for them? I can and should be praying for them. Seeking the direction of the Holy Spirit concerning them. So I don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen to them, I just need to ensure that I am doing what I can to make sure I am hearing God. Which also means seeking His truths where they maybe found, and being open and teachable to the love and Spirit of God.

Apostolic Chiefs: What I hear the Lord saying – Karen Austin

Today I would like to comment on what I feel part of the significance of Bob Jones prophecy and the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super bowl. Remember we only see in part.

First, I want to acknowledge that Bob Jones was one of the most accurate prophets that I have heard and witnessed. I was at a leadership meeting years ago and he laid hands on me to be more discerning of the Spirit, etc. I also have been at conferences where he ministered. I followed his ministry for many years and know people whom he mentored who are people of character. Of course, we have to discern every prophetic word with the Word of God and the spirit of the Word. Discernment especially in the days we live will be very important! So I do endorse his ministry.

What I feel many missed in the prophetic word, which I have included at the bottom of this post, is that when we see the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, “God is raising up His Apostolic Chiefs”. Like most, we get excited about revival about to come and stop there. We should get excited! Seeing people coming into the Kingdom, being healed and delivered is exciting!

While we have witnessed a sign according to the prophecy, we can also look around us and see many other signs. What the prophecy does not signify is that we can quit praying and declaring His Word. Actually, it means that even more we should be allowing Holy Spirit’s sanctification process and be about the Father’s business. One thing I have seen with the Body of Christ and prophecy, is many think if they received a prophetic word, well, it’s just going to happen and I don’t need to do anything. While there are prophecies that are not conditional, many are.

Holy Spirit will once again lead. We will prefer one another instead of stepping over one another to get a “position of importance”. We will promote and encourage one another’s ministry. The congregation will be challenged to become conformed into His image and not pacified to pet our flesh and glorify our own image. Remember the Bride has made HERSELF ready [Rev. 19:7].

Tomorrow I plan to share a little more on the insight I believe I have received regarding the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl. But for now, I say, “RISE UP AND GO CHIEFS, HIS APOSTOLIC CHIEFS!”

When the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, you will know that revival is about to come. God is raising up His Apostolic Chiefs.” ~~ Bob Jones

Mary did you know?

To me, it would be amazing to be a fly on the wall when Jesus was born. Seeing Mary holding the Savior of the world in her arms, caressing his head, kissing his face. Not only did she have the joy of having the child Jesus in her arms, but she had the privilege of knowing that He was not only coming to save her, but He was born to save all of mankind.

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

What a promise we have in Jesus. What a joy to know that those who accept Him as their Lord and Savior, have the honor of knowing that not only does His blood cover us, but He is inside of us. That the power of the Holy Spirit is active and alive in each one of us. In this day of Thanksgiving, give to Jesus what you are truly thankful for. The redeeming sacrifice of His blood, and the love of the Father for sending His only begotten Son to die for all mankind, so that we may live in Him and for Him. Blessings
