“google it” or “God it”?
Good morning family it’s such a beautiful day today, and I’m so happy to get the opportunity to share my thoughts and prayers with you. I wasn’t sure where I was going this morning but after my men’s group this morning it clearly came to me. Where are we placing our faith, our reliance, our reasoning? All the things we receive in our minds are misguided and wrong directional thinking if you will. Now please don’t take me wrong this isn’t 100% of the time with any of us, but it is a place we all tend to fall from time to time. Off track with our thinking, or better put our seeking. What in the world am I talking about with this crazy ramble this morning? Well let me explain. When we ask questions about absolutely anything where does people or ourselves tell us to go? It’s said, “google it”, but we should be saying “God it” or “Word it” or straight to the point “take it to the Word” or “what does the Word say about it, first”? Are we doing this? What is our first direction of thinking? Are we truly thinking take it to the Lord or are we googling it? Just in case your asking. Yes! Even the simplest things, how to bake this or that, should I bake this or that, what should I do about my financing, who do I trust with my financing, who do I turn to for my remodel, what color do I die my hair? So on and so forth! All these questions are minutiae in a since and irrelevant in our minds as to what we should ask the Lord or put to the Word. Truth is nothing is minutiae or irrelevant in our lives when it comes to the Lord and what we measure up to the Word. All things need taken to the Lord, ALL THINGS! When Jesus was facing Satan for the 40 days of temptation he continued to respond to Satan with “the scriptures says” in Luke 4 verses 4,8,12. Jesus put absolutely everything up to the scriptures especially in such a time as He was tested by Satan. Nothing replaces scripture when weighing it to the world.

Esther is Queen
Finally the completion of the Temple, such an awesome ordained feat. With this completion a cleansing of the the people as well. A cleansing like no other. A cleansing in the House of the Lord their God. The people back to celebrating the Passover with the Temple in-tacked and whole again after so many years.
Now with Xerxes as King the enemies of the Jews were out to get them and undermine their existence. Now with Beautiful Queen Esther now in the Palace will things change for the Jews once her true heritage is known? time will tell.
Lord help us to always know our enemy's are at our back door looking for a way in to destroy us, but know you have us covered. In the holy precious name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
Knowing the Word Fully!
As I look at this I see the restoration of Israel and the destruction of its enemies in its entirety. I also see the prophetic signs and descriptions of what is to come in multiple places and multiple times in history. I see the prophetic for the time of Jesus and the time the Lord sets on the throne in heaven and the times that are now.
Father, help me to completely understand your Word in its entirety. I ask in the precious holy humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
Honor
Zechariah 6:13 - 13 Yes, he will build the Temple of the Lord. Then he will receive royal honor and will rule as king from his throne. He will also serve as priest from his throne,[e] and there will be perfect harmony between his two roles.’
To me this is a testament to what the Lord's design for His kingdom here on earth should be exampled to the world through the ruling of kingdom principle and Priestly direction coming from the Lord, through His prophets. Our nation could learn from this example today!
I thought it pretty amazing that a kingdom such as Babylon who clearly concurred Israel was giving direction by the kings to rebuild the Temple to the Lord their God so they could provide sacrifices and worship their Lord and even receive gifts of sacrifices from the ruling body of the land by the King, first King Cyrus, then King Darius. Even more so the Governor listened and obeyed the King. They used the Local taxes to help pay for the rebuild and construction of the Temple and even for the provisions of sacrifices and offerings to the Lord their God. This is an awesome testament to the Lord their God.
Zechariah 8:16-17 - 16 But this is what you must do: Tell the truth to each other. Render verdicts in your courts that are just and that lead to peace. 17 Don’t scheme against each other. Stop your love of telling lies that you swear are the truth. I hate all these things, says the Lord.”
I take this as a declaration to the people of how to live. We are to take our differences to the courts and be lead in justice and peace. I see in this description lawyers would not be permitted as they are today, it says don't scheme against one another and stop the lies. I see the clarity of how far our world has fallen form the Lord's direction for the courts.
Zechariah 8:16-17 - 20 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: People from nations and cities around the world will travel to Jerusalem. 21 The people of one city will say to the people of another, ‘Come with us to Jerusalem to ask the Lord to bless us. Let’s worship the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I’m determined to go.’ 22 Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and to ask for his blessing. 23 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: In those days ten men from different nations and languages of the world will clutch at the sleeve of one Jew. And they will say, ‘Please let us walk with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
I think this is so awesome and amazing because if ya think about it this is where we are now. People from around the world travel to Israel to walk where our Savior walked and to feel the presence of the Lord upon that place or region as we walk to this place the Lord has Anointed. People also seek out those that are Jewish in decent to receive or be in the presence of the Anointed.
Lord help me to honor you and your kingdom as your will is for it. Please help me to go to your Anointed land and walk with Holy Spirit where your Son walked. I just wish to be in your presence even more so and revel in your Spirit. Thank you Father, I ask all in the holy precious name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
Repent
Haggai 2:5 - My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.’
We must remember that God is the same yesterday, today and always. He says He will never forsake His people and He never will, He will always be there.
The remainder of this days reading was very forthcoming, the Lord of Heaven tells the people to repent and come back to Him, just as He told their ancestors. The Lord promises to never leave them and always be there as long as they live for Him. the latter part of the daily scripture reading is prophecy about the finishing of the Temple and the sins of the people being cleansed and forgiven. Also the cleansing of the priest of the people and His sins being forgiven and cleansed.
Father, help me to always repent to you for all my wicked ways and evil thoughts I linger on too long. Father, please help me to stay faithful to you and always be cleansed. I ask all in the holy precious beautiful amazing name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Fear or Faith?
Good morning family it’s such a pleasure to get to speak to you this morning. I have a reply to “feed your faith” this morning., we absolutely must feed our faith just as pastor said yesterday. What is faith? The dictionary says faith is 1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something. 2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. We all tend to live in faith or doubt, or you might even say faith or fear. Simply put we put our beliefs in God and have faith, not proof faith in Him and God feeds our faith. We put our faith in fear, and we believe in that fear and the enemy feeds our fear or doubt. Are you hungry? Are you thirty? What are you eating? What are you drinking? Are you feasting at the Fathers table or the enemies? Simply put it’s your choice. Both take belief. What are you feeding yourself? We think, man! It's so much easier to have belief in the fear, or in the enemy. Why? Fear weighs on you and holds you down. Now faith will lift you up and make you strong. Why does that seem harder? The enemy lies and we steadily feed our fear rather than faith. So we just gullibly believe him and fall into fear and doubt rather than faith.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV - 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:13-14 - 13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
There is scripture after scripture on fear not doubt not and so on and so forth. Then there is scripture to build us up as well, be strong, have faith, hold fast. All are true, all are relevant. It all comes down to your choice, your belief! I know for me personally I’m preaching to myself, but I know the answer God has given it to me directly over and over and through others over and over. The enemy continues to attack and continues to discourage. We must continually pick up our pants from our ankles and not try to run until they are buckled. We buckle them by being in the Word daily. Daily prayer. Regular fasting as we face difficult situations were not just pushing through. God is more faithful than we are, and He will honor our faithfulness. Yes! As pastor said, “feed your faith”.
Father help our belief to feed our faith and quit feeding our fear or doubt. In the holy beautiful amazing wonderful precious humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Faithful all the way through
Daniel 10:12-14 - 12 Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. 13 But for twenty-one days the spirit prince[c] of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels,[d] came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia.[e] 14 Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come.”
Can you imagine standing int he presence not of God but of His angels? I believe it would clearly be intimidating. The Heavenly Hosts of Heaven telling you how important you are to God the Father and saying "Fear not" or "Don't be afraid". Still this would be intimidating and overwhelming. Then Daniel hears your request has been heard in heaven as soon as you spoke it. the Heavenly Host was fighting to get the answer to him, and even before Daniel knew this he held fast to his prayers and had faith God would provide. Such an amazing testimony. Then the Mighty Michael came to the rescue to make sure the Lord's message was delivered. Even though it wasn't for this particular time it was still for a time to come such as now. Daniel still held strong.
Daniel 10:17-21 - 17 How can someone like me, your servant, talk to you, my lord? My strength is gone, and I can hardly breathe.” 18 Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning. 19 “Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, “Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me.” 20 He replied, “Do you know why I have come? Soon I must return to fight against the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia, and after that the spirit prince of the kingdom of Greece[g] will come. 21 Meanwhile, I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one helps me against these spirit princes except Michael, your spirit prince.[h]
Daniel admits his weakness in the Heavenly Hosts presence but realized his strength overwhelming as the Heavenly Host speaks, so Daniel Asks for more strength. Michael is the one who is there to fight the prince of darkness (Persia). He will remain until his defeat.
Daniel 12:4 - 4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.”
No the Heavenly Hosts gives Daniel the understanding of the visions he has had and Tells Daniel to hold this one In particular back for its time has not yet came. When people are goin TO and FRO and knowledge increases. The Knowledge will be overwhelming. This will be the time the Lord has instructed for Daniel to give this understanding. We will see soon.
Daniel 12:9-10 - 9 But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.
The ones who are wise will know the ones who are wise in the Word of God, not of the World. God will reveal His wisdom and His word to us as He sees fit and as it fits His will, in His time, definitely not our own.
Haggai 1:14-15 - 14 So the Lord sparked the enthusiasm of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the enthusiasm of Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the enthusiasm of the whole remnant of God’s people. They began to work on the house of their God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, 15 on September 21[c] of the second year of King Darius’s reign.
So, now the people got distracted with working on the House of the Lord and only was tending to their own, So the Lord got there attention by withholding water and rich harvests as promised because they left His house in ruin, now they have His attention and He has theirs they will finish up the work to be done for the Lord to so they can be blessed and have plentiful harvests.
Lord I ask to have faith as Daniel did in a time of prayer and intercessory prayer. Help me to realize a need for prayer as needed and for who, but allow Father please help me to follow through and not grow tired and weary with despair for lack of answer in my puny little mind. I ask all in the precious beautiful name above all name Christ Jesus, Amen!
Fear and Trembling or Oppression of Boarders
It's absolutely amazing how King Cyrus just let the people go to Judah to build their Temple to God. I guess the Babylonians had true fear and trembling of the Lord God of Israel. Especially after knowing what King Nebuchadnezzar had endured. I believe that Babylon found a fear and trembling of the God of Israel. The hard part to understand I guess is that ya know this had to put a hardship on Babylon after Israel left. This would have created a new hardship on the entire economy of the Babylonians. 50,000 + people leaving any area at once would create a tremendous void on any area even though it was over the entirety of the land it would still be hard, even in todays time let alone 2500 years ago. Our Lord our God is great and mighty in all He is.
Now we find that the surrounding people not of Israel wanting to participate in the Rebuilding of the Altar and Temple. Israel leaders clearly said no that they were ordered by King Cyrus and God to do this task themselves and they will, alone. Then the people not of Israel try to make it hard for Israel to do the job but without success. This happened until King Darius became King of Babylon.
I think of how it is today closed borders and restricted boarders and all types of restrictions in most all the major countries around the world today. I believe the Lord would Absolutely be ashamed of who we have become as country, especially seeing as how our fore-fathers founded this country on freedom and from immigrants from all over the world under numerous oppressions and hindering governments. This country was founded on freedom and expression of God's love for all people from all walks of life. We have become the suppressing nation of the world who wants to tell others how to live now more than anything else. All about control just as Egypt was before its destruction, Babylon before it fell, and Rome before it fell and countless others throughout history, and not just biblical history, look into the governmental Histories as well. but it all relates to the oppression of people and we are approaching that now and especially oppressing God's kingdom and His people more than any other.
Father Help us to see the faults in our way and come to the realization of what his happening in our country and the fellow major powers of the world. Help us to come to an understanding of what we need to do within your will to guide us away from our sinful ways. In the holy precious beautiful humble amazing name above all names Christ Jesus, Amen!

Lion's Den still showing Honor
I think it appropriate and awesome at the same time that Daniel was such a faithful and honoring man that the enemy couldn't take him down as they tried so hard too. God sent His angels to protect this faithful man of God who served with honor in servitude in a land that was not his own. Daniel honored the king and was always faithful to his Lord. As the enemy schemed and planned Daniels demise they only brought it upon their selves as the king saw through their scheming. As the proof that the Lord delivered Daniel from the Lions mouth the King used this opportunity to deliver the Lords enemies to the Lions mouth themselves. King Darius even announced the Lord of Daniel as the Living God whom all should Fear and will endure forever.
Daniel 6:25-27 - 25 Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: “Peace and prosperity to you! 26 “I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end. 27 He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
Daniel's prayer and confession is so on que, we today don't have anyone but very rarely who prays an intercessory prayer to God on our behalf, with true repentance for us and complete truth in the confession. Taking on the responsibility of our and our ancestors actions and attitudes. This man of God truly has a heart for God and his people and does all he can to stand in the gap for his people in all that he is. I believe God Honors Daniel in this, knowing where Daniels heart is at. He truly has a heart for his people. Daniel is still giving it all to God and Gabriel arrives to give Daniel more and deeper understanding of the visions he has had. God Honors Daniel in his faithfulness and reveals to him a prophecy for the end times, for us now!
Now Cyrus ruler of Babylon the capture of Israel is honoring to God and giving Him his respect and honor, recognizing that the Lord is the one who is responsible for his prosperous kingdom. So, He sends out a decree that all who wish to return to Judah to help in the building of the Temple for the Lord shall be able to do so. He even blesses them as they go. He also tells the neighbors of those returning to bless them with silver and gold and livestock and offerings for the Lord as they go. He even had the items that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken form the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem returned. This is such an amazing triumph for the Lord and His people. God turned the hearts of all men to glorify Him in this amazing time. King Cyrus of Persia truly seems to be an honoring man at this time in History.
Lord, help me to be an intercessor such as Daniel is here for his people, I desire to have a heart for all people as your will is for me Father. Help me to be as honoring to others and to you in all I do just as King Darius and King Cyrus were, and continually giving you honor and praise. I wish that my continued actions will honor you in all I do and all my actions will give you glory Father. I ask all in the holy precious beautiful wonderful amazing humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Bound in Deception
Daniel and his visions where something else. I have studied out the book of Daniel and Revelation, which both intertwine at various times. I always loved the vision of the 4 beast rising from the water. Amazing the meaning behind these figures and what they each represent and there is various opinions on this matter as well. That's all fine and well, but its not where the Lord has my heart or head today. Thank you Daniel for your faithfulness to the Lord and the visions He gave you even though they were not pleasant to reveal at times. Especially with King Belshazzar. He was likely the most arrogant of them all. You delivered the message as it was told to you. King Belshazzar still lived in his arrogance until his death that night of your revealing. I think sometimes we are all blinded by the writing on the wall staring right at us with full knowledge of the meaning, but we are blinded by the truth of its message. This is where I see the enemy oppressing us and holding us down this is where the demonization of our being is being held back. When we are not clearly in the Word of God and seeking the understanding that He has for us in all understanding and communing with Him in prayer regularly. We allow ourselves to be opened up and deceived, blinded, bound, and silenced. The deaf and dumb spirit is definitely one who leads the way here on his masters biding. We have to learn how to stay free of these spirits of darkness and steer clear of all that oppresses us or can demonize us and hold us down. King Belshazzar was Caught in this deception of the enemy all the way through, and so was King Nebuchadnezzar until he was humbled by God.
Father, please always give me the wisdom to see you clearly and never again be bound by anything not of you. I ask all in the holy precious beautiful amazing stunningly wonderful name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
Israel's Land Divided and Egypt Crushed by Babylon
This was an amazing time for Israel. The time had come for the God's people to take possession of the Land God had promised their for-fathers. It was equally divided by the tribes of Israel with Land set aside for the Lord as holy for the Temple and for the Levites. I can't imagine completion that they would be felling in this time of receiving from the Lord. they had heard it their whole lives and even with their failures even recent ones they were receiving the Promised God had given their fathers fathers father. I just think about the promises I have been given and relish at the opportunity to see it flourish in time. I think of my children, my legacy and I see my children in the receiving of the Lords promises for me to them. Thank you father for your faithfulness.
Now we take a different turn, it's still the promises of God but the promises to destroy and God keeps His promises to others just as He does to Israel. He promised Egypt that they would be destroyed by Babylon I they didn't this and that and they didn't, so He is fulfilling His promises to them and to Babylon. He wipes them out completely desolate for not only them but their allies as well. It truly is a sad day for Egypt. The Lord wanted Egypt to know Him and that He was and it the Most High God, and I believe they do. Evil-merodach ascended to the Babylonian throne and He released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison and gave him new clothes and allowed him to eat in the presence of the king for the rest of his life, so he was given a regular allowance of food for as long as he lived for the rest of his life.
Lord, I ask you today to help me to honor you in your Word and the complete study of Jesus, I ask for your humble grace to be bestowed upon my heart as I delve into your knowledge and understanding. In the holy precious beautiful amazing wonderful gracious name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Temple Understanding
More today on honoring the Lord in the understanding of Jesus as all Scripture points to Him. He is the Word and the Word is with Him and the Word is He. I'm gathering that in this portion of the scriptures Ezekiel is describing the Temple to come. I have so many questions about it, but am trying to wait and see if the answers are revealed to me through my continued reading before I fall into assumption.
Ezekiel 44:2 - 2 And the Lord said to me, “This gate must remain closed; it will never again be opened. No one will ever open it and pass through, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered here. Therefore, it must always remain shut.
This one says the Gate should never be opened again because this is where the Lord entered the temple at. Later it will have them opening it on the Sabbath days and the days of new moon celebrations. I know its a bit petty but let me understand this, is it just a translation issue that doesn't translate right? I have to believe it is since I know the Lord doesn't and can't lie or mislead in anyway. I have faith that He says exactly what needs to be said as simple and completely direct to convey His commands.
Ezekiel 46:1 -“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The east gateway of the inner courtyard will be closed during the six workdays each week, but it will be open on Sabbath days and the days of new moon celebrations.
Ezekiel 44:4 - 4 Then the man brought me through the north gateway to the front of the Temple. I looked and saw that the glory of the Lord filled the Temple of the Lord, and I fell face down on the ground.
I look at this scripture and I see what I think the Lord is desiring the world to see when it looks to us as Christians'. We are to let the Lord's light shine through us and as we are now the temple we now contain the essence, No! The Wholeness of the Lord within and overflowing from us, as He fills us from the inside out. I'm sure its truly too complicated to completely understand with this limited abilities of this human flesh that I'm bound in at this temporary moment, but I know all understanding and complete wisdom is to come.
Ezekiel 44:5 - 5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, take careful notice. Use your eyes and ears, and listen to everything I tell you about the regulations concerning the Lord’s Temple. Take careful note of the procedures for using the Temple’s entrances and exits.
I feel again this is the Lord urging us to listen and take heed. We need to use all He has given us to protect and be good stewards of what we allow into the Temple (Us). Watch and listen to what He says about the regulation concerning the comings and goings into and out of the Temple. What are we allowing in our lives and our bodies?
Ezekiel 44:9 - 9 “So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigners, including those who live among the people of Israel, will enter my sanctuary if they have not been circumcised and have not surrendered themselves to the Lord.
Just know, to allow the Lord to be present in your life, heart, soul, spirit, you must be cleansed, circumcised and have completely surrendered to the Lord all that you are and all the ways of your past. You repent and change your ways from all that isn't of the Lord and He will receive you and change your heart from the inside out. His glory can then be fully revealed and received in you (now His Temple).
Ezekiel 44:19 - 19 When they return to the outer courtyard where the people are, they must take off the clothes they wear while ministering to me. They must leave them in the sacred rooms and put on other clothes so they do not endanger anyone by transmitting holiness to them through this clothing.
Ezekiel 46:20 - 20 He explained, “This is where the priests will cook the meat from the guilt offerings and sin offerings and bake the flour from the grain offerings into bread. They will do it here to avoid carrying the sacrifices through the outer courtyard and endangering the people by transmitting holiness to them.”
Both of these scriptures say the same thing in regards to holiness. The priests shall not bring these things that contain the full holiness of the Lord into the presence of the people because that holiness would be too much for the common people to receive, and could possibly kill them from over exposure to His holiness. I don't believe that applies to us today as a Christian but I do see how it does to an unbeliever. The unbeliever is cast down and the enemy within is killed or cast out when Holy Spirit comes in to reside. All darkness is cast out and the unbeliever is made whole. So, clearly a part of any of us that is dark is revealed to the holiness of God will be cast out and overcome by His presence, all darkness can't exist in light!
Father this is a lot of my rambling and I know you know my heart, Please continue to guide me and teach your Word and wisdom as you so desire for me. Help me to understand and grasp the understanding and the depth of what you want me to know as you want me to know it. I ask all in the holy precious beautiful amazing wonderful faithful glorious name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Clean living
I read today and find the necessity for continual cleansing. We as a fleshly people need to continually be cleansed. I think of our tongue as a continual roadblock when we butt up against the realms of life. I know that in an instant if I’m not entirely focused on Christ I can get off track and find myself blocking my own cleansing and the blessings that God has for me.
Jesus (the Word)
Good morning family, it’s so good to get the opportunity to speak with you all again this morning. If you haven’t got out this morning it’s such a beautiful day today. I pray you each enjoy this holiday and time with family. I’ve grown more and more over the last week sure about where the Lord wants me to go with my share with you today. I got to share a lil with the men in men’s group this morning as we started our new endeavor. The Lords leading is all going back to what we continually heard as a new believer. Read the Word stay in the Word. Why is this so important? You ask!
Well what’s the purpose of life?
What’s the purpose of salvation?
What’s the reason we need to read the Word?
Especially the boring stuff!
John 1:1 - The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 - The Word Becomes Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Well as I grow more and more in my pursuit of God Jesus and Holy Spirit in my life I find out I must know the Word (Jesus). The only way I can know any is to know the One(Trinity). To do this I must absolutely must study the Word. I know I use to get so lost into the mundane parts of the Word, but as I “press on” as Brother Hagee preaches. As we “press on” we find the power in the Word. As we “press on” we find Jesus in the Word.
I’ve come to find out and realize the more I dig in the more I see Jesus. I think of when I was young and I first fell in love or infatuation how I delved into the entirety of that person.
I knew how their voice sounded in all aspects.
I knew how they looked in all areas.
I didn’t miss a curve, dimple, divot, freckle, or blemish of any kind.
I absolutely studied them to the brinks of my ability and beyond to know every single inch of them.
I wanted nothing in the way of me knowing all of them, inside and outside.
Now as I study the Word I find Jesus even more infatuating. I’m so engulfed into who He is. As when I was young I find an ache in my heart wanting to know Jesus more and more. When I was young I thought it was an unbearable ache but now that I find my love for Jesus I now truly understand an aching heart for wanting more and more to know Jesus. Knowing Jesus is the deepest I’ve ever felt a longing to know someone for all the years I have lived. It’s an ache sure and a tugging of the heart string to know him more but it’s a peace and a joy overwhelming that leds me in such a deep study of Jesus. I want the Word more and more and it brings me closer and closer to knowing new aspects of who Jesus is. Oh, I love you so much Jesus and I wish so deeply to share this with my family, with the world, with every single solitary soul I encounter.
This is the reason the study of the Word is so meaningful and important. If you truly want to know Jesus dive into the Word more and more. Again as Brother Hagee says it “press on”! Even in the toughest of scriptures know that it’s just another aspect of Jesus He truly wants you to know about Him.
Father, help me to search for you more and more and deeper and deeper into the scriptures. If my desire wanes in any way shape or form plz increase that desire and reenergize that desire . Help me to live out your will in my life and let that will (your light) shine through me as I encounter my family, the world, and every soul to cross my path. Plz allow me to be a vessel that proclaims to the world who you are and how great you are. I ask all in the holy precious amazing wonderful humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

Understanding of the Future and the Now!
I find that the listing (1Chronicles 8:29-9:1)of the Family of Saul is like the rest of the Genealogies. There is holes in the listings without going to multiple Books and accountings to get it all sorted out. I find this daunting and very tedious. I know that I know that the Lord has a teaching or an understanding there for me so I truly try to dig in and grasp what He has for me in these types of days of reading. I find that this son doesn't exist in the previous listings from that father and son on and so forth. It more so causes me to dig and find the details of it from another direction. This tends to take tremendous amounts of time to find and verify the right answers, not that I don't believe it when I find it but that I believe that there is a reason for the omission or the error in that particular book or passage. I have yet to grasp the understanding of why this is the case but I'm sure that some day the diligence of my in-depth studying will bring about the fruit and understanding that was or is intended for me to grasp on that particular day. I do believe that the Lord is always and forever on time and never late with the proper timing for us to grasp and gain the Rama knowledge He has for each of us.
I believe that this is just an understanding that we each and everyone must have, we need to know that we can all be humbled and brought down to the level at which we can gain an understanding of the Lord's Mighty power. I believe the problem is the continual lies of the enemy that has seeped in over the centuries has corrupted our thinking and understanding of the reality of any given situation. We tend not to see the majesty of the Lord any longer but the, Oh, mishaps of the world have hit me. No, No! We need to see the humbling that we are allowed to endure so we can turn from out wicked ways and seek out the Father in our time of need. These aren't actions of mishap and worldly oops's but are the allowances of the Father to humble us and bring us into his bosom and receive in His glory with him in salvation, restoration, cleansing, praise, worship, gratitude, forgiveness, forgetfulness, and ultimate sanctification with the growth in Him.
I know there's not too much to say about this here (Ezekiel 40:1-37), but definitely a hundred questions to ask about it. The 3rd temple. The house of God that will come to fruition one day soon. For me to even start to grasp the understanding of this I have to visualize and see a picture of the description of what God has given to Ezekiel. This is such a marvel and wonder that we will one day walk here in honor and worship of the most High, our Father in Heaven. I just thought it prudent to add this picture of a rendering of the temple Ezekiel describes.
Still over all I have way more questions about the why's and the reasons for certain aspects of this temple than I do answers. I believe the Lord has a reason for everything but I do have a few of the most pertinent questions that I think are obvious. I'll only ask one here, Why the burnt altar? Has Jesus not already fulfilled this need?
Father, thank you for all you have continually given me in all my comprehension and understanding that this brain can hold. I ask that you continue to expand my mind and understanding not as I will but as you will for me Father. I do wish to know more and gain more understanding into your Word and the reasons for the things said and done in your Word. I know that in time and with more extensive study you will bring a Rama of knowledge to my understanding when and as you see fit. I love you and am at your will, I give you all the praise and glory. I pray all in the majestic amazing wonderful humble understanding name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!

School of the Prophetic Conference Joan Hunter 2022
Session 2:
Sherman Dumas:
God is breaking off the Mindset that living for Him has to be hard.
Grace is served from God with abundance.
Thank you for the Joy that you have released upon us Father.
The problem with church is you and your problem are in it. Yes, we all have issues. So, why wouldn't the church have issues to deal with.
Even though you have all this or that trash in your lives God is still Drawn to you, you are His child.
God will allow you to be placed into a place or a situation to receive a learning that you need and to become a part of that change.
One single word from God can change the view upon which YOU see your life!
We all need to hear the voice or the word of Abba.
Nothing will speak to your more than a word from Abba if your willing to receive.
The Glory that you may find upon yourself your name or your life isn't about the empowerment of your name, life, or self but its for the glory of God to be spun across the world.
Working definition of Prophecy per John Eckhardt - Inspired utterance from God.
Joel 2 - Poured out on all flesh
Holy Spirit is the doorway to the prophetic realm
How is your relationship with Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit is meant to build relationship with.
Holy Spirit isn't just for what you perceive as your use to worship praise or anoint, but He is an individual being that wishes for you to build a relationship with Him. He wished to build a personal relationship with you on a personal level to help you to build a relationship with Jesus, with God, with others in your life.
know you are never alone, if you will allow Holy Spirit is 100% with you all the time and wants to get to know you more deeply. He so desires to grow in your relationship and coming to the point that He gifts you with a multitude of His gifts to Honor and Glorify God continually.
Holy Spirit is the doorway to the prophetic.
expound your relationship with Holy Spirit not just for speaking in tongues and understating the Words.
1 Corinthians 14 - pursue love
Any other gifts without love is trash.
Why would God give you a discernment to keep you away from his people? NO! He is giving you the ability to know what your dealing with and know that you need to approach it differently. Because you are a Christian isn't a reason to run from the lost. We are to seek out and save the lost. Your protection is His responsibility not yours. He is your provider in all things.
They will know you are a child of God by your love for one another not because of your good deeds.
We need to move out of a family culture of love to a kingdom culture of what Love IS!
Godly Prophecy isn't possible without Love.
God is Love and we must have a relationship with Love (God).
You can not prophecy without the Love of God upon your heart in the lead. You must be led by love.
Kingdom Love not earthly love.
Genesis 1 - voice activation
Something is created out of something else. Out of nothing God spoke us into existence.
The prophetic the Father speaks isn't always future based its all about the Fathers heart. It could be past, present or future. Just know its His heart for who He's speaking too.
Joel 6:25 -
Prophecy has the ability unlock hearts, we need to let it out, outside the church.
You need a church. You need a prophetic community. You need a prophetic ability. You need accountability.
90% of what a prophetic person will do isn't to prophecy but to discern when to intercede and give his word as a confirmation. Its about His glory not our recognition of being first to something.
You are not a prophet of anything you are not actively a part of. If a nation you will physically be going there. If a community you will actively be there. If a school you will actively be going there. If a church you will be an active person there. If your not an active part of something you wont be a prophet for it or against it.
Its a Safe Place - Prophecy (Me, Given)
Wisdom, patience, eagerness, readiness, faithfulness
Wisdom - God has a time and the time is now for the gaining of wisdom not of the world but of the Kingdom the Kingdom of God.
Patience - There is a need for patience, never get in a hurry like you tend too. God is on time and He is never late know that things are always in the time the Lord has made. Allow your Spirit to set back and dwell in the time allowed its given for a reason so prepare yourself in that time don't get distracted and loose your way to where He has lead you.
Eagerness - Similar to Patience don't allow your eagerness to get in the way of your preparedness, God is allowing you to have the time you need to gain the wisdom of His Kingdom and be prepared for the battle ahead of your.
Readiness - This a knowing, a knowing that you are on the right track and that you are given everything to have a preparedness to what tasks lay ahead of you.
Faithfulness - This is so you know that you have all the faith you could possibly need for the tasks you have at and and ahead of your. your faith is sufficient as it came from the Lord. He is your provider and you will always be Wise enough, patient enough, Eager enough, fully ready, filled with all the Faith you could need.
School of the Prophetic Conference Joan Hunter 2022
Session 1:
Patricia King:
Decrees spoken are a work in the prophetic.
We as we become Christians are the receivers of abundance not of mediocrity. Our God is a God of abundance. We need to speak into it. We need to speak the Word of God over our lives and speak it into our lives and the lives of our children and our children's children.
Simply speak it out every day.
It may not come immediately, but if you are speaking the Word of God on your lives, IT WILL MANIFEST AS SUCH! God's Word will overcome all circumstances, all situations.
We need to learn to listen to the direction of the Lord. Continue to be obedient in all you do while continuing to speak the prophet over your lives into your lives and into the lives of the people you encounter. Quit receiving of the worlds failures, the worlds negativity. You are a born again child of God, LIVE IT OUT! Receive it! Speak it! Believe it!
Not only do we decree into the perfect and abundant will of God on and in our lives and those around us, but we absolutely will receive all He has in abundance.
When you secure and receive the blessings of the Lord will continue to go down the generations in your family as well. So, receive all God's Word has for you and your generations to come!
ARE YOU READY? To receive an abundance in and throughout your life.
Sow Big and Receive Big!!!
Prophetic Character Alignment -
The condition of the heart is important with your alignment with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 13 Let love be your Aim.
God is Love!
Godly Character is based on one thing, Love.
1 Corinthians 13 -
If you have love you have nothing.
Holiness is Love.
Proverbs 4:23 -
The prophetic is in each of you, but you must watch over your heart with due diligence.
As you make love your greatest aim You will bring God int the world even more through your speaking and preaching the Word over the World around you.
Remember the expression of all words your speak, allow the Love of the Lord come through.
Love the greatest of the prophetic things we can share with self and with the world.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 -
One of the most dangerous things to the prophetic is offence.
Love is unoffendable.
If we will allow ourselves to teach ourselves to be unoffendable we will be unoffendable in all things.
If you will make love your greatest Aim you will be unoffendable!
Covid-19 has opened the door for a greater world wide offence than anything since the World Wars.
If offence is motivating the idea of your pursuit its just wrong in all Godly ways.
Do we or did we violate love?
Did we allow Love or offence to lead us?
Which way are you allowing your life to move?
You need to all move away from offence with a passion.
You need to delve completely and totally into Love completely.
Prophecy in Love in all things to help you to move out of even the possibility of offence.
Proverbs 24:19 -
We are all evil doers, but Christ as He hung on the cross was unoffended. He only felt love for us.
Proverbs 12:16 -
Psalms 119:165 -
Jesus is the one who Saves not the one who judges.
If we are gonna make a change we need to make a heart change. We need to allow our heart to change and change to Love and love alone.
If the prophetic allows offence its polluting the Word of God to the world.
Deadly elements of offence:
1. Anger.
James 1:20 -
Ephesians 4 -
Romans 1 -
Your anger needs to go in the injustice not the people of the injustice. all parties both sides are victim as God sees it, they are victims of the enemy.
If you are angry do not prophecy. Its not gonna be of the Lord but of your anger.
2. Bitterness
Hebrews 12:15 -
Must rightly divide the elements of sin from the sinner.
Don't receive the negative others may speak to you or with you or over you or over others. Cast it out and allow Love to come through not Bitterness or anger.
The more you allow offence and bitterness to remain in your hearts the more it will fester and Grow to greater proportions.
3. Judgement
Do Not Judge, least you be judged by the same way you judge.
If you are without sin you can cast the first stone.
Are you judging others whilst you still have sin in your heart.
Jesus doesn't even bestow judgement upon anyone he lets us reflect upon our own hearts as the Holy Spirit reveals it to us.
4. Unforgiveness
Matthew 18:21-2 -
Must forgive from your heart or you wont be forgiven.
5. Pride
When prideful you think your better than the one your offended at or the one your judging.
On the cross Jesus still wasn't offended.
He is only hurt with a love that only He and the Father can understand.
2 Timothy 2:19-26 -
We are to Keep away from wickedness.
If something is not of Love it is of Wickedness.
God Cares about the heart!
What's in your heart?
The World can be and will be transformed as we Prophetically speak to the world without these elements of offence and speak only from a place of pure Godly Love!
Details are Defining for Individuality
I really don't like this particular part of the Word. I know the Lord has a reason for it to be in here and maybe one day it will flash for me but it wasn't today. I do try to get the names and pronunciations right but feel I rarely do. Lord help me to receive all you have for me in the understanding of these scriptures (your Word). I wish to know you more and I look at this as a freckle on your back. Its something that clearly helps me to recognize you for you and not a copy of something else. you are who you are and you have your intricacies as anyone else. You are My Bridegroom and I wish to know every inch of you, please Holy Spirit help me to recognize this Freckle more and more the more I see it.
Father thank you for helping me to recognize you in the individual sense. I love that you have your own unique differences just as we do. Help me to become more in-tune with your differences and see you for you, and allow me to see that I have those in me just as each and every person you have created has as well. I ask all in the precious beautiful amazing and humble name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
Life and Death in your tongue
Finally we find that Egypt falls into the pit (Sheol) with the rest of the wicked that the Lord has wiped away because of their actions (Wickedness). You would think after all this extreme history their is in this region that the wicked would completely steer clear of the People of God the Israelites. God has continually protected and defended His people through the centuries, even when they fell to wickedness themselves. They as a people should know the same, but they continue to allow themselves to be punished for their own wickedness. It has to simply be a human flesh thing, or maybe a giving up of self thing that we do to our true enemy. We remember who the Lord is in His great rewards to us at these wonderful times of life and then we fall into comfort and forget all about our gracious and merciful Father in Heaven. We must be just giving up our conscience of it or at least allowing ourselves to be deceived of the truth of the matter from the enemy. Our enemy is out there to destroy us and we just let him, same as the people of Israel continue to fall into forgetfulness of who their God truly is, and same as the nations surrounding Israel throughout time. God always wins, so why do we forget or even blatantly deny Him. What is wrong with this ol' flesh?
Ezekiel 33:7-9 - 7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me. 8 If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9 But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
This I really do love its an example of who God is and who He wishes us to be (love). He is calling each of us to be the watchmen of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and this was before Christ. He is looking to our hearts and how we choose to live finally and forever not as we were at one time, the past is the past but our hearts to the future is His concern.
Ezekiel 33:11- 11 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?
The Lord isn't out to destroy us, not at all. He loves us each and everyone, He continually gives us a way to Him. We are told in the scriptures and since the time of Moses and still to this day before He comes back for us. He loves us! He gives you and me the opportunity to make the right choices and the ability to help your brothers and sisters make the right choice. The truth isn't elusive its right in front of each of us. Share His love with all you encounter. This is true discipleship as He desires it.
Ezekiel 33:17-20 - 17 “Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right. 18 For again I say, when righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and turn to evil, they will die. 19 But if wicked people turn from their wickedness and do what is just and right, they will live. 20 O people of Israel, you are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right.’ But I judge each of you according to your deeds.”
This is a truth we can't avoid. What is your heart saying?
Matthew 12:34 NKJV - Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
This has always been the translation I have heard my whole life but I really like the depth of the MSG translation too and wanted to share it as well.
Matthew 12:34 MSG - “You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It’s your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.”
Thank you Jesus! This is so simple even if we don't believe something at the time we must speak it. Proverbs 18:21 NKJV - Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. As we speak it we will believe it. We must speak as though it is even as it may not appear so.
Isaiah 55:11 KJV - 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
This is so awesome we have the Power of Jesus tongue upon our own tongue. We are given the power to speak life not just into others but into our own lives. If we are lacking in faith we need only speak it into our lives. If we need prosperity, we just need to speak it out and it will be so. I we need love it will be Given us. God is so merciful and Gracious, He has given us the ability but yet we allow the enemy to lie to us and take the power God has given. We just give it away! What is wrong with this people? We must continually remember to speak into faith and abundance over all we are and all those around us are. Speak LIFE! Quit this speaking Death.
Father thank you for all the gifts of life you have given us and thank you for the free will even when we wish not to have it. Father help me to only speak life and not death from my lips ever again. Help me Holy Spirit to Speak God's Word on my life and on all that I encounter In the Holy precious beautiful amazing and gracious name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
