FINDING THE TRUSTWORTHY

The “Judas spirit” will often show up right before your biggest breakthrough, destiny shifts, or other monumental moments in your life. It happened to Jesus too… Overcoming it looks much like Him as well; walk in love and humility, bless those who persecute you, turn the other cheek, focus on your mission, trust the Father, and die to self unto living a transformed life in resurrection power.

Through this adversity hearts and motives are exposed. Though there are varying levels of betrayal, this is important because the Lord will use it to reveal those who can not be in close communion (if any) with you any longer. Because they did not honor you, protect you, or believe in your calling, and they did not discern and respect the authority given to you they will not receive the inheritance of the Lord’s fruitful treasure in you. This will effect both the spiritual and natural realms. Covenant breaking is painful, and as cliche as it sounds, it truly is better now than later. It is a blessing to know who is among you and trustworthy – lest they spoil the entire treasury, the most important of which is in your heart.

Jesus, the One who already overcame is your defender, acquainted with this sorrow He cares for you, lay the burden of it upon Him. He understands broken communion, He was broken for you.

“How blessed you are when people insult and persecute you and speak all kinds of cruel lies about you because of your love for me!” Matthew 5:11 TPT

“So here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you. He will watch over his devoted lovers, never letting them slip or be overthrown. He will send all my enemies to the pit of destruction. Murderers, liars, and betrayers will face an untimely death. My life’s hope and trust is in you, and you’ll never fail to rescue me!” Psalms 55:22-23 TPT

PLEASING TO HIM

When our sole purpose and ambition is to please the Lord; our Savior, our King, our Master, our Friend, our Bridegroom; the integrity of one’s heart is governed by the pure driven intention to know Him. The more purely we are attached to this desire, the more our actions, purposes, goals, and motives will be rightly aligned. As humans in our fallen world we can be easily deceived into thinking we are virtuous through outward gifting, speech, knowledge, works and the like all ‘within the name of the Lord’ though few are honest with themselves to discern what is in their own heart. This is the difference of choosing to grow in maturity or not. Many are called, few are chosen. I want to be a chosen one! The narrow road requires great agility and focus, we must train and yield now, so when the time comes we are able follow where He leads no matter how slim the passage. The pathway to Zion is different for each of us, though none of us will reach the glory of her heights if our focus isn’t upon Him. This is a time He is weighing more heavily what is in our hearts by looking closely at our thoughts and motives. If we want increase, we must empty ourselves.

“Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth away from Him] or away from home [and with Him], we are constantly ambitious and strive earnestly to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing]. Therefore, being conscious of fearing the Lord with respect and reverence, we seek to win people over [to persuade them]. But what sort of persons we are is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood by God, and I hope that it is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood also by your consciences (your inborn discernment). We are not commending ourselves to you again, but we are providing you with an occasion and incentive to be [rightfully] proud of us, so that you may have a reply for those who pride themselves on surface appearances [on the virtues they only appear to have], although their heart is devoid of them.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:9-12‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

FINISH LINE

“You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron [to the promised goal].”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭77:20‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I heard in the Spirit recently “finish line”. Many are right there at the finish line, so very near to the promised goal. Stay the course, cross the waters, don’t mind the storm because the Lord is in it. The miracle is already transpiring, just look at Him and trust in His salvation, for the Lord alone holds the power to save!

Jesus Our Treasure

This is time where it is imperative we have the Word of God deeply rooted in our hearts. The Word of God is alive in you. It is like currency, wisdom, power, provision, peace, healing, manna all within ~ it is Jesus in you the very Word that became flesh and dwelt among men. At times this supernatural reality can be beyond comprehension, open the eyes of your heart like a child and receive. Feast on His presence and consume His Word and then your heart will become full; He is the fulfillment to our desires and this we will never outgrow. Thank you Jesus You are our treasure and great reward, may we remain faithful to You!

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:20-21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, That I may not sin against You.”

Knowing The Lord Through Experience (and re-release of word for head of the year)

I feel to re-release the word for the head of the year 2022, as we are more than half way through the year on the Gregorian calendar and coming into the Jewish new year. In this word regarding returning to first love, I shared what the Lord had spoken to me “knowledge without experience is void of intimacy”. I want to encourage those still in deep refining and or waiting to not allow your circumstances dictate your level of experiencing the Lord – He after all was the fourth man in the fire. Also it is good to gage where we are and measure progress – have we yielded, have we allowed Him to finish the work He has begun in us? As stated in this word, creative miracles with a supernatural release of fire and glory are on the other side the healing and trial, personal healing is leading to marriage and family revival as we return to first love.

I pray this blesses and encourages you today!

REMAIN IN THE SEAL

Within the circle of covenant, all of our needs are met in Christ. We are protected, provided for, loved, healed, and sealed. Within this circle is your security and a life of righteousness.

First we TRUST, then we remain in trust by DWELLING in His presence, we DELIGHT in Him, and remain COMMITTED here. This is the life of godliness sealed in covenant.

“Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also and He will do it.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Believe In His Faithfulness

What you believe about God and who He says He is matters greatly, we are in a pivotal moment where even our breakthroughs are hinged on our belief systems. As written below, we need to examine ourselves and cleanse our hearts from unwarranted doubt concerning His faithfulness. God is the Lord and He changes not! “Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“Therefore, thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah], “If you repent [and give up this mistaken attitude of despair and self-pity], then I will restore you [to a state of inner peace] So that you may stand before Me [as My obedient representative]; And if you separate the precious from the worthless [examining yourself and cleansing your heart from unwarranted doubt concerning My faithfulness], You will become My spokesman. Let the people turn to you [and learn to value My values]— But you, you must not turn to them [with regard for their idolatry and wickedness]. And I will make you to this people A fortified wall of bronze; They will fight against you, But they will not prevail over you, For I am with you [always] to save you And protect you,” says the Lord. “So I will rescue you out of the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the [grasping] palm of the terrible and ruthless [tyrant].”” Jeremiah‬ ‭15:19-21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The Encouragement of Prophecy

Do you need encouragement? I know I do! It feels like I have been fighting the fiercest battles by myself, a lonely season of trial. Though we are never alone because the Lord is with us, I do believe sometimes we go through the valley, desert and even mountian top like Moses in solitude because the Lord is developing our strength in Him through union with Him. Other times we may be on a new mission and feel like we don’t have the desired support for lack of understanding or perhaps just scarce community and trustworthy persons. Maybe you have people all around you and the Lord has you pondering in silence like Mary, protecting closely His words of promise to your heart. Whatever the reason and place of the battle, I believe there is something for us to take away from an encouragement Paul gave to Timothy.

“Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If the battle is first in our mind and with our thoughts, what if part of successful mind renewal comes from meditating on prophecies over our life? We are washed by the Word (Ephesians 5:26), Jesus is the Word (John 1:1,14) the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10). Paul writes that by recalling the prophetic promises over our life we 1) fight the battle well 2) hold onto faith 3) have clarity of mind, and 4) consequentially people fall out of faith when they forget and reject the promises of God.

I encourage you and myself to build an alter and remember; renew your mind to what the Lord has already done through your previous encounters, promises from His Word, and prophetic promises as they pertain to your call.

I pray this excerpt from The Christian View on “Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith” is a blessing and encouragement to you! Full episode can be watched here: https://youtu.be/IJ0CJReV63c

Prophetic Scripting

THE OIL IS IN UNITY

Earlier today I was thinking about the unity I have with someone in the Spirit and the tangible presence of the Lord came on me so intensely in that same moment. It was a sense of complete oneness with another and the Lord though I was sitting alone.

True union is not two-fold but rather three-fold. Our highest example is the Triune Godhead – Three persons though One. Three is also symbolic of the Spirit, and it is in the Spirit that we can really only experience true Oneness with the Lord or another person. Biblically, when two become one flesh in marriage, it is under the covenant of God, meaning it is by the Spirit they become one flesh. “A threefold cord is not quickly broken” Ecclesiastes 4:12. We look most like God when we are in unity, another reason the enemy comes to counter unity so fiercely not only in marriage but on any front is because he desires to look like God. Being that we are the image bearers of God Himself who the enemy now hates, he retaliates and disrupts to distract to distort to deceive.

Disunity begins as a disruption. The Lord gave me a picture to explain; if we are made of mostly water, think about when water is disrupted. Waves, storms, even small stones thrown in a river or pond can create a ripple. Now think of beholding your image in that body of water, now depending on the conditions when you see yourself when the waters are disrupted there can be multiple images, skewed images, distorted images, or worse yet you may not be able to see yourself at all. When the water is at peace, or when it is most still, that is when a clear image will be seen. “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. Do you see? In the stillness of recognizing His image within us we understand that He is God. “Becoming” is the art of creation and we are formed and transformed for Him. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬. We were always meant to see Him!

Side note – the reason we have and need deliverance ministry is because we have unified with other spirits, knowingly and unknowingly.

Oneness through remaining in Him is how we can truly be priests; our first ministry is unto the Lord, and as we abide in Him we are able to step into unity with one another. “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Obtaining oil is a necessary part of our high calling, and though costly, there is an even greater cost when found without it. As written of in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, it is clear that eternity hinges on our own personal oil.

“How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭133:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬.

Prophetically look at the numbers of this Psalm, Chapter 133 / 1+3+3 = 7 meaning complete. 1 3+3 = 6 meaning one man, two three’s but one. There are three verses that make up the entire chapter, meaning Trinity, the Spirit, unity and equal a total of three 3’s chapter and verse. 3×3 = 9 and the number nine is symbolic of birthing. I believe we even see the design of God in these numbers that read one complete re-birthing of man is in the unity of the Spirit. It is believed Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, the one man we need to behold. Our highest place of unity is remaining in Him, here we acquire the oil of intimacy. “My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!” Galatians‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The Hebrew word oil in Psalm 133:2 means anointing, to shine, fruitful, ointment. I love how the Word is interwoven and testifies of itself, displaying the essence of fragrant unity. “Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

I have had a recurring vision over the last few weeks. In the vision I see myself leaning back into the chest of Jesus though I am facing forward and He is behind me. As I lean back into Him, I “disappear” and am completely in Him. Hidden in Christ. Come Holy Spirit, make us one with the Son! This is the circle of everlasting life, union with You! “For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Arise shining and burning one’s, arise!

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Who will reign in the Kingdom realm of Heaven?

C. S. Lewis had it right …

In Matthew 18 the disciples asked Jesus who would be greatest in the Kingdom. In the Aramaic the question is read, “Who will reign in the kingdom realm of heaven?”

“At that time the disciples came to ask Jesus, “Who is considered to be the greatest in heaven’s kingdom realm?” Jesus called a little one to his side and said to them, “Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable like a little child, you will never be able to enter in. Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm. And if you tenderly care for this little one on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:1-5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“AT THAT time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, Who then is [really] the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them, And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all]. Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:1-5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Trusting. Lowly. Loving. Forgiving.

Lord help us to truly see as You see! Even kings on this earth and some “spiritual generals” may not inherit as most would presume in heavens Kingdom because they already received their reward on earth.

Restore our wonder and desire to serve and love You wholeheartedly without question (doubt) or shame.

You may feel overlooked here on earth and in some respects like a child, but be encouraged because Heaven is looking, listening and watching.

May we be known by
Love. Faith. Humilty. Obedience. Character.
