Blessed are the Feet 4-7-14

Once again, I have had several instances of a recurring theme show up, getting my attention. In this case it revolves around a shoe. You see, ever since I broke my leg, the time I spent recovering and healing, I found myself truly diving into Gods word for solace and comfort. I also spent a great deal of time painting, (although the paint was digital, just me and my iPad) I was playing around one day and just happened to start a free-form painting, something that looked like a woman's high heel shoe emerged, so I went with it. It came out fantastic, it pleased me so much, that it became the first in a series of shoes. I thought later on about it that perhaps it was because I was injured and desirous of being able to return to such attire (which seemed really far off, if ever at all).LOL

Rolling ahead, I've recovered, but keep painting my fancy shoes amongst other works of art. Incidentally, over over the last few weeks, I've been drawn to several passages in the Bible, all of which revolve around a shoe or shoes. I watched the movie, the Story of Ruth from the Bible, (Ruth 4:7) who became the wife of Boaz, (the Great Grandparents of David) I read about Moses being instructed to remove his shoes, as he was standing on Holy ground (Exodus 3:5) and the same thing for Joshua (Joshua 5: 14-15). Further research uncovered yet other mention of shoes, such as (Amos 2:6) which refers to Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into slavery! (which speaks to the injustices of this world, those who sit in high places who have dominion and power, supposing to be in good standing, who are not)

Every account mentioned above, has different meanings, different connotations attached, one meant concession (forfeiting their possession or rights thereto) another meant humbleness, in standing before God and yet another stood for symbolism of an injustice (where money, possession and power were favored over the kinship of blood and brotherhood). So what is the underlying unifying theme to all of this. It is obedience, obtaining it, remaining in it or the lack of it!

I think of a baby, walking around with no shoes, barefoot and it conjures up thoughts of trust, being carefree and cared for. God wants us in spirit to be barefoot to Him, like a baby. We see the loss of a shoe, as symbolic, this applies to anything you might have lost in your life; if it's yours and meant for you, worn by you, what use is it to anyone else?! In all honesty those that take from others will find that their spoils are as useful as one shoe, in other words useless! That which is taken from us wrongfully, will surely have to be returned or counted to us for restitution. Then we have the conscious and intentional forfeit, isn't that a picture of dying to this world for the gain of Christ Jesus?! Having the Lord dwell within us, shouldn't we allow Him to fill our shoes? To order our footsteps and keep us on that path?!

Blessed are the feet of those who spread the Gospel!

 Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

I hope that gives you some new insights on the significance of walking with the Lord and staying in step with the rhythm of obedience! Have a Blessed week!

Heavenly Father, I plead the blood of the lamb protection over me and mine, over the family, my brothers and sisters in Christ, Lord. let our footsteps always be in proper alignment. Keep us on the path to attaining Your righteousness, go before us in all things preparing the way. Help us to stand strong in Your will and walk swiftly away from anything that is not pleasing to You. Steady us in our endeavors and bless us as we carry out your commands in this life as well as the one promised to us, which is coming soon! In Jesus Yehushua Mighty name, we pray amen!

Amos 2:6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

Joshua 5: 14-15 He said, “No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” 15The captain of the LORD’S host said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Ruth4:7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns!

Believe to Receive 3-31-14

 "Some want to RECEIVE before they put forward the BELIEVE"!

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Our God is a God of Free Will, He never forces us to believe & likewise, when His Holy Son put forward His Human life, spilling His Holy Blood for our sins, the moment we accept, acknowledge & believe in that sacrifice only then is the Bond formed and reparation made.  Like being ransomed from jail; He then becomes our Lord, Our Master. In that exchange, our New Master & keeper begins to perform & function in our lives, in our hearts, because of that acceptance, free will and BELIEF. That is Faith in action!

God has His hands outstretched to us in so many ways, everyday. Calling out, placing opportunities & challenges in peoples lives; just waiting for them to call upon Him, to place forward the BELIEVE, so that they may RECEIVE! The only equity we have, of any value to the Lord, is that of our belief. It is like Gold, in fact it is of more value. Even displayed on our money, it rightfully reads;  "In God we Trust", although, as of late, everyone should begin to wonder has this changed, is it just lip service?! "Your two cents worth", as they say, is the very thing that I speak of. Our opinions, our belief, because God made us to have them, he gave us choice but many misuse it. "No one can steal or invade your mind, right?"; even that is not true! Satan can manipulate and turn your thoughts toward things offensive to God. He can invade, persuade and run amuck! Unless you are saved your mind is at risk, like a computer connected to the worldwide net without security protection! Yes, Satan is a mind virus that effects every unsaved, unsure life! (Romans 8:6) So, while you still have a chance, a choice....make this chapter of your life the one that ushers in Salvation! Every opportunity, every song, every status, every image that speaks of Him; they are all opportunities placed by Him that many will and do turn away from. Those very things will be brought up in that day, the day of judgement... when many will claim they did not know, were not aware or had no idea and in that day, the accounting will be replayed for them, no excuse will stand.

Now, back to this BELIEVE issue; God says, to the believer; "If you believe on me for your salvation, then believe on me for EVERYTHING else". Be thou not a hypocrite; ask Him to help your unbelief and He will. Ask for increased FAITH through prayer! Pray for everything and diligently watch, taking notice. Especially, God builds faith when we pray for others. (Eph 6:18) Did you ever pray for someone and then low and behold, it specifically comes to pass? Yes, I have & I keep a journal of these "praise reports".  Write yours down, bind them upon your heart and remember them. This is proof that God hears and this is Faith being built.

Even a farmer knows good seed produces a good crop. To a farmer his seed is valuable, it's money in the bank. This too is why God calls them seeds of faith. Because His word, which holds many countless promises for us and our provision when placed in the firmament of God's soil, placed forward through faith, will for sure not go in vain. Jeremiah 17:7-8  His word never returns to Him void, so your seeds of faith never will either!For what you believe that also is what you receive!

I BELIEVE THAT YOU SHALL RECEIVE ALL THAT YOU BELIEVE; DO YOU RECEIVE, THAT ALL YOU BELIEVE, IS WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE? BELIEVE IT & RECEIVE IT!  ~ GOD BLESS!

2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Jeremiah 17:7, Hebrews 11:1, 1 Timothy 4:9-10, John 14:12, Matthew 17:20, 2 Thesalonians 3:3, Provers 2:7-8, Proverbs 3:9-10, Matthew 21:22, Matthew 7:8, John 16:24, Romans 8:26, Ephesians 6:18, 2 Cor 9:8, Matthe 7:9-11, Revelation 22:12, 2 Cor 6:2, Rom 10:9, Acts 10:43, Mark 16:16, Psalm 125:1, Deuternomy 33:12, Isaiah 26:3, Romans 8:6

Here s a convenient link for all of the scripture references in this message listed at BibleGateway:

http://alturl.com/r4ubr

Heavenly Father, I call upon you this day in full belief, ready to receive the bounty you have promised your saints who diligently seek you. On behalf of the souls whom I have petitioned You for, I stand with mine hand over their heads in spirit, requesting Father that you touch them; let the trappings of this world fall away, just long enough for them to see your outstretched hand. Draw forward their belief and secure them in the trust they shall place in You. Father, I also stand here in the gap for many souls, your children whom are at all levels of advancement; help us to trust You with everything that we have. Help us to make rightful choices. Help us to see that all things belong to You and that it is Your good pleasure to bless us, meeting any and every need. Help us get on with addressing our spiritual nourishment as well as physical, help us to address our financial breakthroughs as we open our wallets to the needy. Help us seek You first in order that we might find what we seek in our day to day life. Lord, if we could only see ourselves as You see us, then we could begin to submit ourselves ultimately and entirely to the creator who formed us, You who have the power to transform us into that which You originally intended! Oh for that glorious day, when we, Your children will stand before you, perfected in your Grace and seeing your face! Thank you Lord for providing us with all that is required to achieve this! In the name of your Holy and Triune Son, Our Lord,  Jesus Christ Yehushua our Soon Coming King, AMEN

NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES 3/24/14

A dear friend recently reminded me of the Mighty Awesome power in the very name of Jesus Christ our Lord. As God gave Him the name above all names, that every knee MUST bow before it, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. At the final curtain call, you can be sure that THIS surely shall be the case. Every soul ever created will bow and every consciousness shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Not because they all hitherto will agree, BUT because He is.  When every former thing shall be stripped away and all truth revealed there will be NO refuting this TRUTH!

The part can not ever be greater than the sum. Jesus Christ, Lord God Yehushua, the Son of Man, the Second Adam, the Rock, and Living Word, created all things, He created they them! Thats direct from scripture. He created all! (Gen 5:2)

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Philippians 2:8-11

⁸     he humbled himself in obedience to God
    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

⁹ Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,
¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

 Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Why is this power not widely harnessed? Lack of knowledge! The word says that we suffer for lack of it! God wants us to know all there is to know, to empower ourselves! The devil knows a lot more scripture than most any human and guess what, he constantly attempts to distort it, to misuse it, to misappropriate it! Let me pose a question to you. If someone broke into your house and decided that they wanted to call it theirs, what would you do? You would call upon the name of the local authorities, the police! If that didn't work you would take the matter to the courts, and you would reference the law (to back you up). You would establish ownership (being the current renter/mortgage holder/ or owner) of the property and would implore the system to back you up. In many regards that's what most people ARE not DOING every day. Peoples lives are being pilfered, their civil liberties vanishing and the enemy encroaching in their lives in every capacity, from health to healthcare, from government to governance, from finances to financial institutions. and well; you get the point, its pervasive and its vast!

What are you going to do about it? Are you ready to MAKE a change? How do you go about MAKING THIS change?. First begin by calling upon the Name above all names. Jesus Christ Yehushua! If there is a problem, you cover yourself in the Blood of the Lamb and then begin to pray; "thing" I command you by the name of Jesus Christ, Yehushua YOU MUST BOW to the name above all names, (Be Gone/Leave/Depart) situation or condition (concede & surrender) Person or entity, (line up, obey, and or abdicate) There is nothing, no name under heaven, in earth or under earth that is GREATER than the name of Jesus, to whom all power, all Glory and Honor has been given! You'll notice in everyday life, their are some cultures/religions that forbid the very utterance of His name? Why?...because they operate under the spirit of disobedience and the author of that spirit KNOWS full well the POWER of that name!

As I was meditating on the Name above all names, the Lord revealed a special little nugget to me, which I will share with you. As I marvel at the profoundness of it and the simplicity. So, every other name (everything that has a name) and every name therefore given must bow, to the name of Jesus...I said, Lord, what about the name: "NAME"?.....He said, "switch the letters around, Jesus is honored there too He has authority over it...it also spells."AMEN"!

And with that I say AMEN and AMEN! To the name above all names I fully surrender my all, I confess the name of Jesus and I call upon the power of that name to accomplish all that I, in my human state can not. It is through that Authority, that name,  that I have eternal life and by that authority that we may heal the sick, raise the dead and command the weather! Its His name, His power, His authority, and nothing can withstand it!

Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.


I plead the Blood of the Lamb Protection over me and mine, over you and yours, by the Mighty awesome name of Jesus Christ Yehushua, I command the spirit of obscurity to BOW to the Mighty name of Jesus, depart, so that every eye reading this and every ear receiving this message will share it, calling upon the Mighty Name above all names, imploring all to Pray, to share this message far and wide. Stand up to your situation, call upon the name of Jesus to conquer your challenge, to beat down your intruders, to haul the villains before the Authority that is above all Authorities. Take back your rights, your health, your wealth, your freedoms. Call upon the name which all other names must BOW to! In the Mighty name of Jesus I pray all of these things Amen & AMEN!
