Pain

Pain reminds us to trust in God.

Breathe Unto Me

Yesterday I was listening to Fred Hammond's "Breathe Unto Me Oh Lord", I became inspired by the Holy Ghost to get up and praise. But just like the song says a spirit of heaviness tried to latch on to my spirit, but then I felt the spirit of God touch me, and it felt as if he was breathing into me. As soon as His spirit touched me I was free from everything, I was able to praise in the fullness and that is when the tears began to fall. I began to praise like I do only when I am hurting or getting revelation, and I felt all that pain come forth. I began to praise so hard that I couldn't catch my breathe and I found myself in my kitchen, then the spirit of God calmed me down and a sweet anointing began to fill the atmosphere. As I was praising, the anointing was falling I was bent over waving my hand in front of me and behind, the lord said that I was welcoming in His spirit. This was just what the people of Jerusalem did to Jesus, they welcomed in His anointing, which changed the atmosphere.
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the King of Israel!"(John 12:13)
As I was welcoming in the holiness I was ushering in his power of healing. I was also sweeping away my future and past, and giving in to his will and putting my all into His hands: past, present, and future. He said that as you seek me you will find me, you see I had been looking for the Lord for sometime. I was lost and confused but by me asking Him to breathe unto me, I was inadvertently looking for Him. This action of looking for the Father is exactly the same wisdom and instruction that David gave to his son Solomon,
"As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever."(Chronicles 28:9)
You must begin to look for God and have him breathe on you, because he can revive you back to life.

"I Am"

When God called Moses I believe that it was unexpected, I think that after he had sinned and ran away from his home in Egypt, he thought that shepherding was what he would do for the rest of his life. The funny thing is that God always has a different plan and it always seems to deviate from what we want to do. His day must have began like any other day in which he went about tending his father-in-law's flock, little did he know that the tending of sheep was pretext for tending the Lord's people. As life would have it trouble came, and a sheep went missing; and like any good shepherd he left the many to go after the one. When he found the one that is when he found God, this was the day that he would be blessed by the presence of God. He went into the dark cavern blind to go after the sheep, his blind faith in going to find the sheep allowed him to find God. When he was able to see again he saw that he was in the Presence of the Most High, he was on Holy ground. I think that this is the best part of the story because God had to show Moses just who he was; he was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was a true and living God that suffered alongside His people. He was the God that put His spirit in the form a flame, in such a way that He set a tree aflame with His spirit and it did not burn. He was and still is the great "I Am". There is no other way for us to explain who and what God is, He is all you will ever need. (Exodus 3:13-14)
"And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

I believe that Moses was more than afraid to go back to his home in Egypt, not just because he had an impossible task but because he had a people and a brother that he had scorned. Even through all that Moses dealt with God constantly and repeatedly told Moses that He was the "I Am". God told Moses this many times because he wanted the notion and the understanding to sink in that "I Am everything that you need and more". Even through all of that God gave Moses the strength to do what he needed, God gave Moses the authority of the "I Am". If we as men start to look to God in the face of every adversary and say to our enemies that with the power of the "I Am" I can do all things, with this authority we have the power to become the men that we are supposed to be, this is the way that we draw nigh unto the spirit of God, the now and forever "I Am". The power of the "I Am" is also used with authority by our lord Jesus, which this authority was instrumental in establishing his kingdomship, if we learn and understand that this power is accessible to us, we can change the very fabric of reality just like Moses did. With the authority of the "I Am" bestowed on Moses by God, the Lord parted the Red Sea through Moses; and with the power of the "I Am" Jesus was able to carry the burden of sin in the fullness, he was able to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days; not only did he do that but he tore the veil of the law that separated us from the face of God.
Amen.

My Apologies

For all those that have been following my blog I would like to ask your forgiveness for m reluctance and disobedience in my blogging. Starting tomorrow I will be starting over with a new blog and a new word from God, please be patient with me.

Time for A Breakthrough

Today was I thought it was no better than yesterday, but you know what everyday is ten times better than the day before. You know why I can say this? It's because everyday His loving mercies are renewed better, and better. I thank God because He is truly blessing me, even though my flesh is reluctant to acknowledge it. I see that God is making me over and better each and everyday, God once showed me a clay jar and told me that it was me. This clay jar was strong and withstood storm winds, hail, and snow; but when a hammer made of steel came against it, it shattered. God told me that I am going to break you, and rebuild you into something better. The hammer came against the remnants, and smashed the pieces into dust. But then I saw God with a dust pan and cleaned up the mess, he took it into a shop and put the dust on a pedestal. He went back and gathered all the scattered pieces, when he had found all the pieces He sat. He looked on the dirt and dust, and he spit upon it, and from it God's spirit flowed like water. Then he made a ball of clay, and He put it on a Potter's Wheel. He began to spin it and work the clay, to make a better and stronger clay jar. Once he had finished he put it in a furnace to finish His good and perfect work. After it was finished he put it in water to hardened it and cool it off (to give rest). Then he looked at his work and saw that it was good, it was complete, and it was holy. He said this vessel shall hold my essence, and pour out my spirit; and it shall stand the test of time. God is getting us ready to break us out of our old selves, and create new personas for us. God wants us to be complete and perfect vessels that can be used to pour out his spirit on a distraught world. These ugly days are the days that are breaking my flesh, but building my spirit so that one day I may be a worthy vessel. One thing that we fail to realize is that we are godlings, miniature versions of God; and that in order for us to walk in it we must be made over and broken out of these dirt jails. It is time for us as a people to stand up and stand out. The whole purpose of the vision says this, that God is the hammer, something that is ten times stronger than clay, will break us into little pieces and then rebuild us. The whole point, to make us into the true image that he has and wants for us. Our break will come one or two ways, 1. Through Submission or 2. God physically breaking us. I believe that I chose number two, because when God wanted me to submit I fought him, and now he is truly breaking me and molding me into an earthly miniature version of himself and full of his spirit. I want to say that instead of fighting God on everything try submitting to his will and allow the change to occur, or fight him and watch him break you. God's will is ultimate and will get done, and will not be hindered by your reluctance, only you will.

The Flood Waters

Even when it seems like you cannot make it anymore God is telling and showing you that you can, while you think that you cannot keep your head above the waters God is keeping you afloat. Today was such a bleak day, it rained, I woke up late for class, I was extra tired, I failed an exam, I am in financial need, I was a little depressed, and on top of that I am fasting. But you know through all of that crap (not the fasting, that was good lol) I endured today, I must say that God is really good; He is better than good. He has been such a comfort to my soul, and given me peace about every ugly thing in my path and in my life. I truly have to thank God because I got down today about school and money and he clearly said to me "I will provide". If I know anything about my walk with Christ and relationship with the Father, God is teaching me patience and that he is in control. I learn daily that God is God all by himself and that he does not need any help; I know that every time that I fret and become fearful I try and put my hand on a situation and try and control it. Every time that I do this I fail miserably, and I drown in my sorrows and disappointments. But through salvation I am saved, I love the book of Psalms because it always speaks to my spirit and uplifts me out of my funk. David is always praising God and making his request known to God. Psalms 69 is my newfound favorite, or at least for today until God gives me something new. This scripture hit home today because I was drowning, and I couldn't swim; but you know what God pulled me up when I lost my footing and had not foundation:

Save me, O God;
for the waters are come in unto my soul.
I sink in deep mire,
where there is no standing:
I am come into deep waters,
where the floods overflow me.
the floods engulf me............
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD,
in an acceptable time:
O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,
in the truth of thy salvation.
Deliver me out of the mire,
and let me not sink:
let me be delivered from them that hate me,
and out of the deep waters.
Let not the waterflood overflow me,
neither let the deep swallow me up,
and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

He truly wants his people to reestablish themselves in Him, He does this by reaffirming our faith in Him, and in the fact that he loves us and will provide for us, all we have to do is call out to him and submit to his control and authority. Let Him take control and watch the flood waters recede. God Bless!

There is Power in the Name

What name do I speak of you ask? His name is Jesus, you know the man that gave his life so that man could live. We seem to forget that his name is all powerful, the bible says that God honors his word above his name, So if Jesus is the Word made flesh that means that God honors jesus and everything about Him; especially the name of Jesus,this being so because Jesus is his word incarnate. So just think about that, the power that the name has is all powerful. You figure that God honors Jesus, why because he made a sacrifice that no one else could. That sacrifice merits a praise and honor in itself. I was put in a situation that I had no control over, and what God was trying to teach me is that I can't control anything; but there is one who can control all things because they are his. So if I Christ is in me, an I in Him that means that at the utterance of his name my situation will change. Have you been in a situation where the winds of life are blowing out of control try this: Speak to the winds and say "In the name of Jesus, Son of the Most High I command you to be still". I guarantee that your situation will change. There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) The whole point behind this is faith, believing but not seeing and hoping in something greater than ourselves, believing that all expectations will be met. We have to get to the point as the people of God where we will not quit, we will not give up, and we will not be swayed; but we will get to the point were we believe solely in God's word, which is His Son Jesus Christ.
