EXHORTATIONS - October 2022

What is our attitude regarding allowing the Holy Spirit to manifest His life and power through us? Are we thirsty? Are we longing? Are we willing to pay the price?

Are we willing to forfeit in order to have? Are we willing to allow ourselves to die so that He may live? Are we willing for Him to have the right-of-way in our heart, our conscience, and all we are?

Are we ready to have God's deluge of blessing upon our soul? Are we ready to be changed forever, to receive the Holy Spirit, to be filled with divine power forever?

Acts 13:52 - "And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit."

Many Believers have felt that their future looks bleak, because nothing has changed or moved, and it had been like this for so very long. But know that many are coming into their predestined future; you are being given "hope and a future," like Jeremiah 29:11 says. We are in that season now – to see those changes happen. Unprecedented changes are coming to all long-standing, stagnant areas in your life -- they will no longer be dry and barren but filled with the fulfillment of His word.

You are crossing over into your promised land. Don't be afraid to move forward, and know that it is okay to let go of people, places and situations, because not everything can go where you are going. The Lord has so much more prepared for you; your greatest days are now right in front of you.

Your days of desolation and isolation are over, for it is time to see your latter days which will be greater than your former days.

Jesus came to earth knowing the purpose of the Father for His life. Every born-again believer has a purpose (calling) destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth.
Much of the favor of God that you experience is tied to whether or not you are living your life pursuing that purpose.
"His Kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in Heaven..."
God desires His Kingdom to expand through you. As you learn to live as a habitation of God, filled with His Presence and glory, His authority will be released through your life.

Through being a vessel yielded in intimacy with God, there will be an increased manifestation of the glory of Heaven upon your life resulting in the blind eyes of others being opened as you disciple them into their identity in Christ and right standing with God.

The Greek word for "Church" is "Ekklesia" and means legislative assembly or selected ones. This means that Believers have legislative authority upon the earth. God has given us the power of binding and loosing. It is the hour for us to take back our homes, cities and nations. God has given us legislative authority to draw the line in the sand.

A Nazarite's vow required: 1) abstaining from drinking wine and strong drink, 2) refraining from touching dead things, 3) refraining from cutting the hair on one's head.

Samson's life shows us his slow descent into compromise. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him to kill a young lion. Later, he retrieved honey from its dead carcass, but the anointing still rested upon him and he killed 30 men (Judges. 14:19). Once, he took the jawbone of a donkey and slew 1,000 Philistines (Judges. 15:15), once again breaking his vow to not touch a dead thing. Yet, the anointing remained upon his life. Samson was able to excuse his actions because the Spirit of the Lord had not left him. Even after breaking his vows, he was able to do mighty things for God.

The (Red) sea, which has been your barrier, is the threshold of your crossing into the miraculous. You hold the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16:19), and you will unlock the chains of the captives and deliver the oppressed.
After 3 failed attempts at trying to get Samson to reveal the secret of his strength, Delilah "...pressed him daily with her words...so that his soul was vexed unto death" (Judges 16:16).

This spirit that operated through her had so disillusioned him that he was at the point of wanting to die. "And she made him sleep upon her knees..." (Judges. 16:19). That same spirit is in operation today, slowly and methodically pressing many Believers to a place of acquiescence. It has lullabied the Church to fall asleep in its lap for far too long. It is after the anointing. It comes to steal one's strength.

Declare that the spirit of Delilah, which has caused you to slumber, is breaking off of your life, and you are awakening from its lap. It is time to reclaim your authority and dominion in Christ and demonstrate your victory.

Your best days are yet to come! God sent you to do a job and you're going to reap because He is the one who sent you to do it! When you launch out into His purpose for your life you're going to catch what you need to catch, even in some instances where you've not labored.

"As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." - John 20:21

God has put something inside of you and He wants it to flow out. The more it flows out, the more life it's going to bring. If there's only a trickle at first, He wants it to become a mighty river. He comes in the rushing river to cover us in His anointing as a means to advance His Kingdom in the earth.
You are free, beloved! It's time to soar. "If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed" (John 8:36).

The apostolic ox anointing speaks of the steady plow of the field with stubborn tenacity. We move forward in spite of the pain, in spite of the warfare and in spite of the loss. God is calling on forerunners to establish new revival hubs and re-establish those that have been aborted.

We are in a generation that will change the landscape of the Kingdom. They will carry the mandate of God in spite of warfare, they will fight for reform, they will battle spiritual forces with a violent faith, and they will move with demonstrations of power.

Keep pressing in and through the warfare. Press through the scoffers and doubters. Remember that you don't get the oil without the pressing, you don't get the wine without the pressing, and you don't get through this without the pressing.

As you become like a child again and learn to live from your heavenly seat at the right hand of Jesus you will be part of the greatest move of His Spirit the earth has ever experienced!
He is calling you to THE REALM OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, where the things you speak materialize before your eyes, because you speak HIS WORD by which everything was created – where your imagination and dreams have no limits!
As you are carrying out your Christ calling, His words dwell in you, and when you speak them out, His angels hearken to His words and they carry them out. You need to let go of the past, the present, and what you think the future will look like, because what He is about to do through you and with you has never been seen before.

"You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me – you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have." (Genesis 45:10)

The name Goshen means "drawing near" and is a call to come out of the world, mixture and compromise, and to create a greater connection and dwelling with God. Goshen was the place where God made Israel into a great nation and it's where God will establish, plant, and build you.

Relocation is taking place; God is pulling people out of dead environments and into Goshen environments. They will be the ones who will disciple and raise up people to know how to be effective during these times. They will raise up an army of people who will fight back against the kingdom of darkness -- they will raise up a people who are effective as they advance His Fruit Bearing Kingdom in the times that they are living in.

We want thoughts that are inspired by the Holy Spirit because we are abiding in His Presence. As we are one with Jesus, we embrace His love flowing into our heart as we go throughout the day --  our REPENTANCE, MEDITATION, AND DEVOTIONAL with God -- by His Word and truth -- then has authority over our lives. Our time is valuable, and we want to use that time as an occasion to increase our spiritual momentum to dive deeper into the heart and PURPOSE of God for our life so we can be effective in bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom. 

Knowing OUR CHRIST IDENTITY will strengthen the inner man and demolish satan's strongholds.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds." - 2 Corinthians 10:4

True Christianity sparks a flame in the human spirit. It ignites the heart with holy fervency for Jesus and a hunger to advance His Kingdom in the earth.

We as kings and priests in God's kingdom are the anointed ones, the sons and daughters of fresh oil, endued with gifts of power, strength, and grace to enable us to accomplish the WORK we are destined for in our Christ calling.

"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." - James 2:24

Jesus is not looking at our intentions, wishes, or knowledge of what is right.  He is looking at our works!  We anchor our heart in cultivating, nurturing, and discipling new believers into their Christ identity -- thereby living the crucified lifestyle inside the Word.

Are we allowing the grace of God to produce holy living and ministering to others in our lives, or have we received the grace of God in vain?

"I know your works......" - Revelation 3:15

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." - John 1:14

When the Word became flesh, it didn’t just stop with Jesus. The Word is still becoming flesh as He tabernacles with you, living within your tent of flesh and blood and redeemed humanity in your Christ calling. You are His habitation, and He has established His throne within the chambers of your heart, as a living tabernacle of His glory.

The Word becomes who you are DESTINED to be, within the realms of glory; of grace upon grace and favor upon favor and gift upon gift.

For the Word must increase and consume your flesh, consume it and be glorified so that when they look upon you they will behold His Glory.

"... children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will but born of God." - John 1:12,13

Maybe you feel like your dreams have died, your hopes have died, and your prospects have died. We live in a dramatic world where you may face great hindrances with excessive drama -- God has drama for you -- divine drama. God has a perfect track record, and His resume for doing special things during dark seasons is flawless.

 Paul instructed us to walk purposefully toward one true goal (the CHRIST CALLING He has put in our spirit) (Philippians 3:12-16). This is not a time to wander around the mountain of defeat and unbelief; we are to lay hold of the promises of God, take Him at His word, and stand firm in faith. Rather than just being content to sit and hear, we become activators of the Word as we strive to influence others to pick up their cross and attain the Christ life.

No matter how confused and confounded we have been in the past, this is the day we can find the exit sign and end the wilderness wanderings. We begin to understand and walk in His PURPOSE  for our life—seeking to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. (John 15:16)

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 - "All athletes are disciplined in their training...So I run with purpose in every step...I discipline my body like an athlete training it to do what it should. Otherwise I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified."

You may not feel like a person of divine Destiny when you wake up every day, but that's just your feelings. Your future is not rooted in how you feel, but in how you act.

You cannot fulfill your Destiny in Christ on feelings. The way you feel changes based on different variables -- don't give in to your feelings. Emotions are the saboteurs of Destiny.

Beat your feelings into captivity through mental discipline by affirming and meditating on God's Word that supports and advances His calling on your life.

The ascended life – living from Heaven – dwelling in that sense of His presence and living from there releases revelation into your life.

Feel His cross – feel His blood – It is real. It is! Declare that you have spiritual hunger, a strong prayer life (Hebrews 10:19), as well as aggressive action affirming and meditating on the Word to have the Holy Spirit move you into higher and more efficient states of mind.

It's time for the door of more revelation and spiritual wisdom to swing wide for you this year, both in key "kairos" alignments and opportune moments of favor. Make strategic appeals for your unsaved loved ones in this hour! Have an expectation to go through the door of the more that God opens this year. Don't let any lie of limitation, grief of the past, or intimidation stop you! Stay aligned with the word of the Lord and see the opening of the door to the more in kairos moments this year as you seek to advance His Kingdom more than ever before!

"... call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me." (Psalm 50:15)

God is the God of divine solutions, of creative breakthroughs, and of impossibilities becoming possible. If you have been feeling stuck or blocked in a certain area of your life, it's time to come back to the Lord and ask for understanding. Often, God's understanding looks different than we expect. You might want Him to immediately change your situation, but He wants to change you through the situation.

God is bringing about perspective shifts so that roadblocks and obstacles will become stepping stones and opportunities. With God, obstacles are always opportunities. They are opportunities for growth, opportunities for miracles, and opportunities for creative solutions. God wants to expand your thinking to see setbacks as invitations to divine solutions. If you can't go through the way you thought, can you go around?

Right now, God is opening up your eyes to see divine solutions and deliverance where previously you only saw difficulties. He is bringing creative breakthroughs and He is raising you up to recognize how to access them. In fact, the thing that seemed like it would keep you from your destiny is the very thing God will use to launch you into your greatest influence. Access His perspective over your situation. Take bold steps of faith. Take action, even when it's tempting to sit in discouragement. God's got you.
