Sträck dig efter det som ligger framför

Självklart ska vi ta vara på de erfarenheter livet ger oss och ofta använder Herren de svårigheter vi tagit oss igenom med Hans hjälp och de insikter vi fått till att hjälpa andra just på det området. Det är som om vi utvecklar en känslighet just på det området där vi mött utmaningar och vi ser när andra behöver hjälp just där och vi kan tillsammans med Herren få bli till hjälp och välsignelse.

Men det finns också en risk  att vi fastnar i saker som vi har med oss från det förflutna så att det hindrar oss från att göra anspråk på det som Herren förberett för oss. Uttrycket "don´t let your past dictate your future" dvs låt inte ditt förflutna diktera din framtid, säger lite om det.
Paulus skrivet också:

Bröder, jag menar inte att jag har gripit det än. Men ett gör jag: jag glömmer det som ligger bakom och sträcker mig mot det som ligger framför Fil 3:13

Och när jag lyssnade till det här klippet så blev jag återigen påmind om, främst för min egen del, att det finns saker att vända om ifrån så att jag kan sträcka mig efter det som ligger framför. Och att jag  istället för att fokusera på skuggorna från förr, istället fokuserar på Jesus som är Världens ljus.

This is a Season of Realignment

Från bloggen "Prophetic Horizons" by Gary Elkins

This is a Season of Realignment

We have entered a season where some of you will have your lives and ministries realigned for greater impact.  You are about to enter a new and unexplored future.  A realigning must first take place before that future is experienced. This realignment will require a change of direction because the previous course would not bring you to the destination God has planned for your life. To experience the blessing and benefit of this realignment you will need to focus your efforts on a new and previously unseen horizon.  This new horizon is where you will see the approaching manifestation of a fresh work of God's Spirit.

Some of the elements of this realignment will take place without your permission. You will simply be forced through circumstances beyond your control to align with a season of life you had never considered. This is where you will have the opportunity to live out Paul's words to the Romans that tell us God can work out everything for our good - even in the middle of the whirlwind of a life-transition.

DON’T ACT LIKE A CHICKEN.. YOU’RE AN EAGLE AND YOU’RE ABOUT TO SOAR!!! by kmvawser

Prophetic word through Lana Vawser:

This morning during worship I had a picture of an eagle and it was on the ground and it was acting like a chicken. It was running around in a fluster and when it tried to fly it couldn't. It got but a few inches off of the ground to only fall back down in a heap. I then heard the Lord say "Fear has clipped its wings".

There were so many different fears that I began to see all around these eagles, and these fears when the eagles looked at these fears and focused on them, it was like their wings were being nailed to the ground. While they were on the ground, their "sight" and "insight" was SO limited and I could feel Papa's heart of love calling them higher, that all was well, He was there. Everything was clearer from the place of rest on His knee.

WARFARE PRECEDES PROMOTION

WARFARE PRECEDES PROMOTION
Verna Brown

Many of you have felt a vehement wind of accusation come against you. Some of you have felt like you’re suffocating, or drowning.

Satan is familiar with your fears and weaknesses and he is trying to breathe his lies of death to your dreams and destiny. Don’t let him play on your fears or weaknesses.

Run into the presence of God. His strength is made perfect in your weaknesses. This will be your strongest season!

Satan will always try to suffocate the word God gave you with doubt, unbelief, and a myriad of cares and troubles. He wants the pain and sorrow to choke out the truth of what God has said.

"ARISE DEBORAH"

"ARISE DEBORAH"
6 augusti

The past few months there has been an increase in spiritual warfare against women. The Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I had last year. I had a dream of a great swarm of large, brightly colored yellow and black bumble bees flying around in my room as I was reading my bible. When I woke up I first interpreted the bees as being symbolic for spiritual warfare, but after further study the Lord revealed something totally contrary to that. In the book of Judges the prophetess Deborah's name means "Bee". The Lord also revealed to me that honey represents revelation. This is the word that the Holy Spirit gave me for the Deborah's who are arising.

The Lord says, I am raising up the Deborahs who will be leaders in the days ahead. They will become My voice as they carry My prophetic word to the nations. As they release My word, it will be as honey, bringing revelation. They will be righteous judges of the land, and bring a word of morality to the nations. They will move in great authority with signs following. As they set the captives free it will bring conviction and transformation. As the days grow darker, they will bring comfort to others as they distribute the milk and deliver the honey. They will shift the atmosphere wherever they go, and as they worship, strongholds will be destroyed. They will instruct others how to walk, how to war, and how to resist temptation. They will bring direction to those who are compliant to My word and correction to those who are in rebellion. They will carry a clear stream of My river because they are not tainted by the influence of darkness. Their eyes are clear because they have not been defiled by unclean images.

These women will no longer be dishonored or rejected as leaders. They will not be silenced any more by the church or by the media because I have placed My anointing upon them, and My authority within them. Do not refuse them as they will carry a two edged sword to divide the religious traditions of man, from the truth of My word. They will bring a clear distinction of the genuine prophetic word and uncover that which is deception and counterfeit. These Deborah's will arise and defeat the taskmasters and those who are oppressing the body of Christ. They will always be successful in annihilating and exposing the assignments of the enemy. They will walk in a spirit of love and forgiveness and will not take offense when being confronted with opposition. You will know them by their fruit as they release My word to the nations, bring deliverance and release those who are bound says the Lord.

Judges 4:4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

Judges 5:12 "Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away, O son of Abinoam!

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!"

WORD FOR THE WEEK

"… As we have seen, a lot of what is happening today is an emphasis on new paradigms of ministry. The contemporary church landscape is littered with a multiplicity of conferences and books on new apostolic structures, cell structures and so on. We think all we need to do is change the system. … The new covenant, though, is not a promise of new paradigms but of new hearts (Ezk 36:26). While there are certainly paradigms of church life that more adequately facilitate spiritual life, heaven’s priority is on the wine, not the wineskin – on the spirit, not the structure. No amount of superimposing new paradigms – new methods, techniques, or programs on the old problem of idolatry will produce revival. It will simulate renewal for a short while, but never stimulate revival. Only a return to the ‘heart of David’ will produce the revival we are longing for. Like David, God give this generation a cry for a 'new spirit' (Psa 51) – for a clean heart – a heart that will not bow to another god."

CURVEBALLS TURNING TO PLATFORMS OF PROMOTION

August 2, 2015 / lanavawser / 0 Comments

 

The curveballs that have entered your life, the “spanners that have been thrown in the works”, the unexpected pathways that have presented themselves before many of you, out of nowhere, the place of things not happening the way you expected… are platforms before you.
The Lord is using these “unexpected” things to bring promotion into your life. How you steward your heart and attitude towards these “unexpected” things will determine whether you walk through these “curveballs” as a victim of them, or see a great turnaround and a new level of promotion before you.

Stark bönekväll för Sverige

Jag vill rekommendera dig att avsätta en och en halv timma till att lyssna på inspirerande böneupprop från olika kristna ledare och vara med i bönen för vårt land i den andra halvan av sändningen:

Segern är redan vunnen

Bra att bli påmind om att vi ska ha det här perspektivet när vi ber, från bloggen Citygates, skriven av David Adeola:

Fighting FROM Victory!  

John 19:30 -“When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit”

One of the most profound statement that Jesus ever made and one that I believe He will never make again is “it is finished”. There are many profound statements made by Jesus but this is like the mother of all statements which every believer need to fully comprehend, embrace, believe and live out as we stand at the Gates to pray and make intercession.
As believers and even as Gatekeepers, our standing and our authority rests totally on this statement. Because of the accomplished work of Jesus by His death on the cross and through His resurrection on the 3^rd day we have the victory. Jesus made an open shame of the devil once and for all. It is a completed work.

Colossians 2:12-15– “having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.”

 2 Corinthians 5:17– “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come”

Do you pray with the understanding of Jesus’s victory? The shedding of His blood, His death and resurrection cancelled your debts with all the Legal demands, and all your trespasses?
Let us remember this position as we pray for our leaders this week.

Romans 13:1 “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”

1 Timothy 2:1-3 “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,”

I want to encourage us all during these difficult times in the nations, that it is not a season to be fearful but a time to re-align and renew our minds as victorious Saints and start to pray FROM a position of victory and not FOR victory because Jesus got the victory for us already over 2000 years ago.
Arise with authority of the finished work, and ENFORCE the victory that is already yours. It’s the best position to be in.

Luke 10:19 “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”
Have a victorious week!
