An Expectation of the Miraculous

The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27

When my husband and I were anticipating the arrival of our granddaughter Isabella, we received a word that this would be the SEASON of MANIFESTATION... 

My spirit was stirred to believe God for the Supernatural... to live each day with expectation of the miraculous.  My heart is challenged. I wonder if we (the Body of Christ) are walking with an earnest expectation of the miraculous. Are we truly expecting to see the goodness of God manifested (birthed) on earth, or are we just hoping that it will be? Hope in god is good, but the Lord wants to turn our hope into a living, breathing expectation. God is calling us to supernatural living and it begins with an expectation of the miraculous. 

I'll be honest, I'm not always walking pregnant, so to speak, with this kind of expectation. More than once I have minimized the words of Jesus when He said, "He who believes in Me the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" John 14:12 

The enemy is always trying to discourage us and cause us to lose sight of who we are in Christ and all that comes along with our birthright. We are governed by the natural (what the news says, what the doctor says, etc.) yet we are children of a supernatural God who asked us to pray that things would be on earth just as they are in Heaven.

Mary was pregnant with the expectation of God's kingdom being manifested on earth. Her hope in God brought her to this level of expectation, "Let it be to me according to Your word" Luke 1:38. 
She took God at His word and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. Something supernatural happens when we allow God to overshadow us.

The time has come for the manifestation of every prophecy to be fulfilled. Ezekiel 12:23, 25, 28 says For I am the Lord. I speak and will come to pass. It will no more be postponed... None of My words shall be delayed any more, but the word which I speak will be done, says the Lord God. 

So do not weary in doing good. Continue to stand on the Word, believe in God's promises, and trust His faithfulness. Continue to pray, decree, and declare. Continue to persevere and endure until you see the Breakthrough. Continue to choose hope over despair, faith over fear, and truth over facts. 

So I say to you again: Do not weary in doing good. Not a moment has been wasted. Keep believing. 

Have you been given a big promise from God? Perhaps a prophetic word regarding your calling or destiny? Perhaps it's the promise of divine health? Or perhaps the salvation of a family member? Whatever it is, know this. If God spoke it, it's true and it will come to pass. Period. If it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean God has forgotten you, or that the devil is winning. God is with you. Just like He was with Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Peter and all the other heroes of FAITH that the Lord did great works with. 

Keep praying. Keep praising. And keep expecting. There is nothing the enemy would like better than for you to give up. Don't...  It's the Year of Manifestation... The fulfillment of your promise is right around the corner. God spoke it and it will come to pass. I truly believe that the time is much closer than you suspect. 

The Word of God will not return to Him void but it will accomplish what He sent them out to do. 

You too can take God at His Word. Every promise, every utterance from God is yours. Though it tarries don't give up. Be expecting.... 

Be encouraged....

He SINGS Over Me...

Last night after spending some time in prayer I fell asleep listening to a beautiful worship song by Kari Jobe called The More I Seek You... I remember whispering Lord I need to hear from you.  I had a dream I saw beautiful colorful gemstones falling from heaven and covering my bed. As I watched them come down I heard scriptures and lyrics of songs. God's peace was overwhelming. I remember hearing scriptures from Song of Solomon I felt such an outpouring of His love. As I woke up I heard these words... 
He sings over me.  

Thru out the day I pondered on the dream and the words "He sings over me"... I thought it sounded familiar, perhaps the lyrics of a song but I was surprised n overwhelmed when I found the scripture of Zephaniah 3:17 
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.... 

I love every part of this verse, such a comforting promise - God WILL do these things. Not based on what I do or don't do - He DOES them regardless. God takes such pleasure in me that He sings for me. Wow, who am I that the God of the UNIVERSE would SING OVER ME??? It blows my mind! 
A different version says that, "He will exult (leap for joy, be extremely joyful) over you with loud singing." It's so easy to try and find our worth in things and through people... When I think about God delighting in me, I'm humbled to think I don't deserve it, yet He loves me that much! 

He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Such love and tenderness of God.  As I think of my grand daughter Isabella rocking her in my arms when she's crying, I've tried to comfort her with a song, kisses, and lullabies. She stops crying long enough to listen to my singing, snuggling her, and loving on her. That's the image I see in this verse. God will quiet us with His love. When life is screaming out of control, we just have to listen strong enough forHim to sing over us "Hush little baby, don't you cry, Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby." I just never pictured God singing to me. The thought of this great and mighty warrior combined with the tenderness of singing amazes me.

I feel like God has shown me a golden nugget of truth that I didn't realize before. I see in greater depth how God is my Daddy. Sometimes I am screaming too loud to hear Him next to me, soothing me, singing over me. My prayer is that I will delight in Him so He will delight even more in me. I am praying that I will be quiet enough to listen to His lullabies and smile back at Him with the same love He has been smiling at me... 

And like the lyrics of the song by Kari Jobe says... This LOVE is so deep, its more than I can stand. I MELT in His PEACE, it's overwhelming... 

Be blessed

My Night Watches With The Lord

During 2011 I asked the Lord to put an alarm in my spirit during the night watches, I made myself available to wait upon the Lord. I prayed according to Psalm 110:3 offering myself willingly out of the womb of the morning (which I understood was an indication of open heavens) and Psalm 139:9 in the wings of the morning to pray wait and seek His face. 


I claimed the promises of Isaiah 50-4-5 that He would awaken me morning by morning, awaken my spiritual senses to learn, anointing my tongue to speak and my ear to hear. I would keep a journal by my bed to write dreams / visions or impressions He would reveal during that time. There was times I was awake for 5 minutes or even an hour.  At times, I feel very little of Him, or of His presence.  But I understood He wanted to communicate with me. I'm training myself to wait in "anticipation" as one who watches for someone to enter a room and the results have been the most incredible moments with the Lord.  


Proverbs 8:17 says, I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me... That I may cause those that love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. 


A quote from the book (God Catchers) that has meant a lot to me is "I am no longer content just to "chase"Him. I want to catch" Him - Sometimes I grow weary with the daily chase, but I must chase If I want to catch Him. 


He is beginning to dominate my thoughts and my hunger for more of His presence. I can't help myself - He is all I want.  I'm part of that remnant, a chronic God Chaser with an unending appetite for more of His Presence. 


God yearns to know you intimately... To reveal Himself to you in a more personal way, a place in prayer where our perception is more in-tune to the realm of the spirit than in the natural.  


If you listen, God will speak to you! Psalm 16:7 says I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons. God will meet you where you are and work with you. Seek the Lord for special times that are set apart for receiving from Him. SACRIFICE releases POWER. Ask Him to prepare you for heavenly downloads. 


Isaiah wrote, "In repentance and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength." Your ability to rest is critical for your ability to receive. REST is the INCUBATION bed of REVELATION! Taking time and developing the capacity to quiet your soul and rest in the Lord, waiting silently before Him. 


Be faithful with the little, and God will give you more. God is looking for people to whom He can entrust His revelation. He may test us with a little to see what we do with it (this has been my personal experience) God rewards FAITHFULNESS! 

I find myself echoing the Lord as He asks the Church this question, "Will you come up higher?" The Lord is calling the church to rise up in this hour, beyond the familiar out of our comfort zone and seek for more of Him.  


This has been my life and my personal experience. As a dreamer, an intercessor and prayer warrior I long to hear His voice clearly, to anticipate His next move and be aware of the enemy's attack. As a Watchmen... 


I declare that you will begin to have supernatural experiences with the Lord. Expect to have dreams and visions and have divine revelations from the Lord. I declare your spiritual eyes and ears are open to receive. 


He will make Himself known to you. 


Be Blessed...

Praising Your Way Out Of A STORM...

It has been my personal experience (and proven biblically) that when you get down in the dumps or feeling down n out the best remedy for that situation is always PRAISE and THANKSGIVING.

God understands our troubles and cares about each of our needs as if we were the only one on earth with a problem. He also knows how miserable it can be for us when we wallow in despair. However, He has given us the perfect way out of the prison of trouble; it's the key that unlocks the door of loneliness, frustration and self-pity. It's called PRAISE...

In the natural it goes against our human nature, however some of the greatest miracles and blessings have been born out of this simple yet effective tool we have been given.

We have the sample of the life of David who seemed to be a magnet for trouble yet produced most of the book of Psalms - songs of praise and worship. God labeled David as a man after His own heart. Paul and Silas were in prison for doing good and preaching the word of God. If anyone had the right to feel sorry for themselves it was them. But instead decided to pray and sing praises. And we all know the results of their act of praise.

When I was going thru my recent storm (with the health issues) there was a song that ministered to me during that season by Casting Crown - I'll praise you in this storm.... When I felt at my lowest point and began to praise it was a feeling that goes beyond words. I felt like I could almost feel the very heartbeat of God. Some of my most wonderful experiences with the Lord has come when I've been in deepest trial. I feel so near to God when I praise Him in spite of my circumstances. 

The Bible says that God inhabits the praises of his people. Praising in the midst of trial shows faith and restores your soul. When we praise God we are proving to Him that we believe that He will take care of us. It also gets our focus off of the problem and makes us excited about what God is going to do in our life. When I begin to praise I feel like I can run through a troop or leap over a wall just like the Psalmist. Our situation may or may not change - but in praise we are trusting God that he know the truth about the things we cannot see or understand. Just like a child must trust a parent for things, we must learn to understand that God knows what is best and no matter how bad or how painful the situation He will work it for our good.

So I challenge you, touch the heart of God with your praise and love Him in the midst of your trouble ~ it's amazing what praising will do!

My journey of FAITH in 2011

My most memorable experience in 2011 was my journey of Faith. To know and experience God's  goodness in a personal physical way. We all go thru experiences in our lives where our faith and inner convictions will be tested at a greater degree than ever before. Solid in my faith in God and in His Word I received a negative report that challenged by faith and the confession of my mouth. Not understanding the journey ahead God was working behind the scenes in my favor. I discovered a lump growing rapidly in my breast, not having medical insurance God opened doors in my favor with the best medical treatment. After many test and different medical opinions the final result was to have a Lumpectomy. I was told by the best surgeon in that field (in the state) that I had 1% chances of saving my breast. I battled for 3 wks to maintain my position of faith declaring a supernatural intervention from God. Everything in me was battling the negative report - at that point I called out for reinforcement and support from my church family. They ministered faith and word 24/7 thru prayer/fasting and scriptures reminding me of the promises of God. When the day of surgery came I had absolute peace that God was in control of all things. I saw the hand of God from day one and thru out my recovering.  God provided 100% medical assistance - had the best surgeon in the state - by God's grace was able to save part of my breast - recovering was supernatural and the love that surrounded me was priceless.

God allowed me to go thru the process to proof Himself faithful. I have been strengthened and reinforced with power in my inner self by the Holy Spirit Himself who dwells in me. My strength and my refuge, as I confidently trusted in Him and in His Word. Believing and declaring daily the strength to walk in divine health. My daily confession has been as I part-take of daily communion every morning is - as He is in Heaven, so am I here on earth ~ HEALED / COMPLETE AND WHOLE.

I am eternally grateful for the prayers and support I received during this difficult season of my life. I could't have gone thru this without everyones support.

I pray that my experience and testimony would be used by Him to help strengthen your trust in God to get you through whatever difficult situation you might be facing now, or one day in the future. God is much more interested in honoring our trust in Him than what a legion of demons of doubt want us believing when we're going through a trail.

Fear of failure broken !!

"For you have not been created for failure," says the Lord.  "Even this day, the fear of failure would try to tell you a lie and that you will never succeed.  Rise up now and break the fear and that voice of failure in your life!"

 Prophetic Scripture:
Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The fear of failure is one of the greatest obstacles that people have to overcome.  Most often we fear failure because of a previous negative experience, when something didn't work out the way we planned.  Maybe it was a prayer that we prayed and we didn't receive the answer we wanted.  Perhaps, it was a project or business endeavor that didn't produce the desired results.  Whatever your circumstance happens to be, these things can plant a failure mentality or fear of failure in our minds.  Then as you step out in faith again, your mind will try to tell you, "remember what happened the last time?"  If we are not careful, then we find ourselves less willing to take steps toward the success God really intends for our lives.  However, the verse above, tells us the our road to good success is found by meditating on the Word of God.  Why is that true?  Because, if you keep looking at all those previous experiences, you will lack confidence in your ability to succeed in life.  But if you look everyday at all the promises and encouragement found in the Bible, you will go through the day feeling like you can overcome anything!  In addition to that, a lifestyle of daily focus on God's Word will also help you stay obedient to the Lord, and that in itself will keep you clear of failure!  We don't have to fear any type of failure when we keep our eyes on the Lord and His Word.  In fact, we have the power to speak to those thoughts and demons of failure and tell them to leave us in Jesus' Name.  Rise up and break the fear of failure trying to enter your life today! 

Days in the spirit ...

“Expect to have days where you will step into the spirit,” says the Lord.  “For I have set times in prayer for you to experience the most incredible things with Me.  Yes, there will be visions, dreams and revelations that will carry out much in the earth!”

Prophetic Scripture:
Revelation 1:10 – I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a voice, as of a trumpet.

Always keep in mind that God is a Spirit (John 4:23) and He works in the spirit realm.  When the Apostle John was “in the spirit” in the Scripture above, he was in a place of prayer where his perception was more in the realm of the spirit than the earth around him.  God wants us to have times like that too.  God can be found in the physical realm, but we need times where we come to Him “in the spirit.”  So how do we position ourselves to get there?  First, it requires a sacrifice.  I am sure John had many things he could have been thinking about the day he received the vision that wrote the Book of Revelation.  He could have been complaining and asking God why he was exiled to the island of Patmos.  No, instead he turned his focus away from the earth around him and connected with the Lord in the spirit.  He stepped into a place with God where he supernaturally began to see into the spirit realm.  He was more conscious of that than his physical location.  If we make time with God, I believe we will have more of these incredible supernatural experiences with Him.  When that happened for John he saw many visions and amazing things were revealed.  Many others in the Bible experienced similar things, but it came because they gave their time to the Spirit.  God is waiting and wants your “days in the spirit” to be a great blessing in the earth!

Prayer:

Father, I come to You in the spirit.  I ask that You would teach me to enjoy days in the spirit as I give my time to You.  I declare that I will begin to have supernatural experiences with You.  I expect to see visions and have divine revelations from You Lord.  Open my spiritual eyes and ears, Lord, and allow me to step into the spirit today.  Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
