Vill du ha det?

Vill du ha det?

Min kära, jag har en fråga till dig. Vill du verkligen göra det som Jag gjorde då Jag vandrade på jorden?

Orsaken till att Jag frågar är för att det verkligen är möjligt för dig att göra det. Jag har redan lovat dig det (se a, nedan), och det är väldigt lätt att kvalificera sig för det. Jag vill det för dig – Jag vill att du ska finnas med i min agenda och Jag vill att du gör det arbete som Jag gjorde när jag vandrade här på jorden. Min kära, Jag vill det för dig mycket mer än du själv vill det. Så Jag frågar dig igen – vill du verkligen göra de gärningar jag gjorde när jag vandrade på jorden?

För många av mina egna vill inte ha det, för de vandrar inte i det, trots att de redan har fått det.

Min kära, var inte lik dem, för det är bristen på tro som har fött olydnad och det smärtar mitt hjärta. Du kan få det om du vill ha det – allt du behöver göra är att tro på mig med hela ditt hjärta, själ och kraft.

Sedan måste du börja uppföra dig som om du verkligen tror. Börja med att sträcka ut din hand för att be för de sjuka, och se vad som händer. Börja med att befalla demoner och förtryck att lämna människorna, genom att använda den auktoritet som jag redan har lagt i din hand. Börja tala Guds rikes sanning och budskapet om de goda nyheterna som evangeliet ger, till dem som är utan hopp och se hur de vaknar till liv och tar emot det med glädje.

Min kära, försök inte bära något annat budskap än det som du redan har fått, för jag är kärleken personifierad, och Jag sänder dig ut att proklamera att det är genom Mig som man kan träda in i Min nåd och välsignelse och kärlek. Genom Mig, så kan de få lösningen på de problem som bekymrar dem… för Min önskan är att bli deras försörjare och deras skydd och deras läkedom och deras frid.
Min kära, jag har redan lagt kraften i dina händer att göra samma tecken och under som Jag gjorde – men gör dem bara så det blir ett vittnesbörd om vem Jag är, så att andra kan komma till tro på Mig.

Jag har gett dig auktoritet att befalla demoner och att hela all sjukdom. Men det krävs en nyckel av tro – att tro på Mig – för att låsa upp den auktoriteten så att du kan använda den. Så börja i det lilla, med saker som gör det möjligt för din tro att växa och bli större – be för dina vänner med huvudvärk, be om försörjning för främlingen bakom dig i kassakön i matbutiken som har förlorat sitt arbete och inte vet hur de ska kunna fortsätta att försörja sin familj. Förlös min auktoritet och min försörjning i deras liv. När en ofrälst bekant är plågad av rädsla och ångest, befall det att lämna dem i mitt namn och förlös min frid över dem.
Även den enklaste bönen är ett vittnesbörd till min ära, för när jag svarar på bön så kommer jag att göra det på ett sätt som gör att de vet att det är jag. Så börja i det lilla, min kära, titta på och se vad Jag kommer att göra. Jag vill att din tro ska växa tills du inte längre är begränsad av tvivel och otro, så att du ska kunna göra samma gärningar som Jag har gjort, som ett vittnesbörd för mitt namn.

Ja, min kära, börja i det lilla och låt din tro växa – men börja! Stå inte vid sidan med en ”vi får väl se”- attityd som utmärker en som inte tror. Börja tro på mig, så att du kan göra de gärningar som jag gjorde. Börja sedan och uppföra dig som en som tror.

a) Joh 14:12-14 ”Den som tror på mig skall utföra de gärningar som jag gör, och större än dessa skall han göra, ty jag går till Fadern. Och vad ni än ber om i mitt namn skall jag göra, för att Fadern ska bli förhärligad i Sonen. Om ni ber om något i mitt namn, skall jag göra det.”

I Am The God Of Victory

I Am The God Of Victory

I am about to release the power of My Spirit into this world. I will soon pour out My Spirit on all flesh. Are you ready to follow as I lead? Are you ready to achieve the victory that I have long planned for you? I desire a people who will follow in the way that I desire for them to go. It is not up to you to make the plans for battle, only follow as I direct you. There is nothing that can stand in My way! My power will send the enemy running! You will then move in to claim what was once his. I am about to pour My blessings on My people. Too long they have cried out done without. My people will take the spoils of war and enjoy what they have not worked for. My mercy and grace will be poured out on all who call on Me. I am about to do something so wonderful that all will be amazed by its splendor. Am I not the God of the spectacular? Am I not the force that powers all that is? Then be prepared to be amazed for I am about to display My glory for all to see.

Vill du ha det?

Det kanske låter som en konstig fråga, men vill vi ha det? Allt det där som Jesus hade när han gick här på jorden? Låt den frågan sjunka in och rannsaka dig på djupet. Vill du verkligen ha det som Jesus har och göra det han gjorde när han gick här på jorden och ännu mer?

Do You Want It?

Dear one, I have a question for you: Do you really want to do the things that I did when I walked on this earth?

The reason I am asking you this question is because it really is possible for you to do that. I have already promised it to you[a], and it is very easy to qualify for. In fact, I want it for you--I want you to be on My agenda and I want you to do the works that I did when I walked on this earth. Dear one, I want it for you more than you want it for yourself. So I ask you again--do you really want to do the works that I did when I walked on this earth?

Too many of My own do not want it, for they are not walking in it, even thought it has already been given to them.

Dear one, do not be like them, for it is disobedience born from a lack of faith that grieves My heart. You can have it if you want it--all you have to do is to believe in Me with all of your heart, soul and strength.

Then you need to begin behaving as though you truly believe. Beginstretching out your hand to pray for the sick, and see what happens. Begin to command demons and oppression to leave people, using the authority that I have already placed in your hand. Begin speaking the truth of the Kingdom and the message of the good news of the gospel to those who are without hope, and watch them come alive and receive with gladness.

Dear one, do not try to carry some other message than the one you have been given, for I am love incarnate, and I am sending you out to proclaim that through Me, others may enter into My grace and blessing and love. Through Me, they may have solutions to the very real problems that trouble them...for I desire to be their provision and their protection and their healing and their peace.

Dear one, I have already placed the power within your hands to do the same signs and wonders that I did--but do them only as a witness to Who I am, so that others might believe in Me.

I have given you the authority to command demons and to heal all sicknesses. But it requires the key of faith--of believing in Me--to unlock that authority in order that you might use it. So start small, with things that you are able to stretch your faith to believe--pray for your friend with a headache, pray provision for the stranger behind you in line at the grocery store who lost their job and does not know how they will continue to feed their family. Release My authority and My provision in their life. When an unsaved acquaintance is plagued with fear and anxiety, command it to leave them in My name and release My peace upon them.
Even the most simple prayer is a testimony to My glory, for when I answer the prayer I will do so in a way that they know it is Me. So start small, dear one, and watch and see what I will do. I want your faith to grow until you are no longer limited by doubt and unbelief, so that you might do the same works that I have done, as a testimony to My name.

Yes, dear one, start small and let your faith grow--but do start! Do not sit back with a "watch and see" type of attitude that is the trademark of disbelief. Begin believing in Me, that you might do the works that I did. Then start behaving as one who believes.

a. John 14:12-14 "12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."

Terra Nova - taking new ground

Många gånger lägger jag ut profetiska tilltal här på bloggen som talar till mig personligen, och nedanstående är ett av dessa. Men jag tror också att det kan tala till fler.

Terra Nova

Through a revelatory realm I am in a church building, however this happenings of the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God is not limited to a church building, or buildings they are only meeting places. What is about to happen is not limited by our own understood and what we may believe in or not.

I see within this meeting place the fire of God was like pillars around us, and the cloud of glory was upon us from on High. There was no wall between heaven and earth at this time. The building keeps on growing and become huge. This building was always growing never stopping and never decreased not even for a moment.

The spokespersons had glory and light upon, around and within them. When they were ministering you could not even see their faces or even their bodies. The only thing you can see was bright light, the light of Christ.

Now I see the mighty wind of the Holy Spirit move among us visiting each one of us. Also we could see angels with our very own eyes. The deep fear for God was common among us. Then we heard the audible voice of God as a group and then we could hear the audible voice of God speaking to each one of us.

In addition, I could see certain groups of people within this meeting place. This is not to say that certain ones were left out for there were all kinds of peoples within this building. The first group I could see was many women crying and making intercession for the nations, cities and the Body of Christ in each one of them. I could see the Lord moving upon them and their households. The next group that I could see was businesspersons. There were many businesspersons. I could see great revelations giving to them from Christ and the Holy Spirit. The next group was single parents; the Holy Spirit moved upon them with mighty healings for their families and their children became obedient and well mannered. The next group was teenagers I could see such glorious fire upon them and deep purity. The next group was children I could see such glory among them and I could hear high praise from them. The next group was young adults I could see a great witness of the Holy Spirit and purity in their lives. The next group was those who were suffering financial the Holy Spirit ministered to them with real hope and great joy. Now I could see the last group, which was the group of politicians the Holy Spirit came upon them giving them wisdom, the fear of the Lord and boldness.

Now I could see that everyone in this building was coming under the great influence of the Holy Spirit. The whole building came into visions and revelations of the Lord.

Now I could see mass healings, deliverances, miracles, signs, wonders, and raising the dead; this was common among us. Also this went even beyond in power and demonstration.

Now in the center I could see Jesus walking among us and speaking His words of Destiny. Jesus said in His Word; “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to Him.”

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” –(John 14:21,23)

Furthermore, no one wanted to leave this meeting place. And time did not matter only the love of Christ mattered. The only time people will go out of this building if the Lord Himself asks them or commend them to carry out certain orders that he commission them to do. When they were leaving I could see around their whole body the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit. After they competed their mission they will return to the meeting place. They were blessed going and blessed going out always. I could see on the doors from outside of the building above saying, “blessed is the person who enters” and from inside above the doors when people were going out was the words “blessed is the person enters my will and destiny for them.” From this meeting place came many rivers that went throughout the church and the world.

Note: “Terra Nova is Greek words meaning taking new ground.”

Dörrarna är öppna!

THE DOORS ARE OPEN: AN APOSTOLIC CALLING

I AM calling forth those who are willing to forsake all in the way of comfort, pack their bags, and go where I would have them to go. Yes, I AM calling you forth to speak the oracles of God and to prophesy even to kings. Are you willing to pay the price to have My anointing flow through you freely? For I have taken you through the purging by the fire of My love in preparation so that I could pour out My glory in waves upon you. Yes, the healing power of My glory. And you will lay hands on the sick and watch them recover.

So many have obeyed My word with no signs following and never gave up that My word is true. And now is the time and the hour that I will use you mightily, My people. Yes, this is the time and the hour that I will pour out My power through you. So step up to the bat, and be yielded and willing, and you will see what I will do. Do not be concerned that you have never done these things before. What if it doesn’t work? Well, what if it does? Don’t be concerned with the outcome, just do it.

Don’t be just a hearer of My word, but a doer of it. Watch and pray that you will be counted worthy of these things that you may lay hands on the sick, set the captives free, raise the dead. I need a clean vessel to move through. So watch your heart attitudes and your motives, and be willing to step aside and let Me take over. And yes, you are to be a nameless and faceless generation, a bride with boots on, one that will only promote My Son and His name. Proclaim the victory for this is the time. Lift up the King of Glory! Rest assured that He can handle any situation of hindrance that the enemy will try to bring your way. Just step out. All things will work out for good when you put forth My Kingdom and righteousness.

So count the cost this day to see if you are willing to forsake all to follow the King in wherever He takes you. Count the cost to see if you will put Christ first above your agenda and even reputation. Are you willing to look foolish to have My glory flow through you? Do you call yourself prophetic people? Then examine the lives of the true prophets of old and the price they paid to be used. Even King David as he danced through the streets with all his might. Even Stephen dying at the hands of the mob seeing My glory and knowing he was a good and faithful servant. Forgive them for they know not what they are doing. Are you willing to even die to have My glory.

For these are the last days, and I promised you greater works, but it comes with the great price of forsaking all for the Kingdom. Yes, a great price indeed, but I guarantee you that these days you will be blessed beyond measure for I will prosper you enough to take care of others. I will move through you in glory, and give you your heart’s desire to see Me more intimately. Yes, your quiet times will intensify with the power of revelation and discernment. And you will have My wisdom manifest in all areas of your life. You will know the snares of the fowler, and you will avoid them. You will know My thoughts for you have the mind of Christ with no hindrances. And, yes, you will move with My heart of compassion and travail. In your quiet times I will roar through you for My people Israel and for those I gave My life for, and you will see the multitudes set free. For this is the day of the latter rain outpouring. Yes, the third day of My glory, and I AM calling you. So be ready!

In i något nytt

PRESSING INTO THE NEW

By Cindy Jacobs 2009-01-06

As I have been seeking the Lord for a word for 2009, one seems to leap out to me in my spirit. It is the word "transition."

This is a season during which we are going from the old to the new—from old wine to new wine. What do I mean by "new wine"? I mean we are going from what doesn't work to what does work or from the nonproductive to the productive. It seems as I am sharing with Christians around the world there is a frustration with the old. People know that what they are doing isn't producing the results they want to see, but they don't know what to do.

This is what I am sensing: God is forming a new wineskin for your life that is a good fit. You are being pressed into the new. No one likes that feeling. It is uncomfortable and, at times, stressful. Stress can actually be productive. It is when we get into (dis)stress that it becomes nonproductive. One of the most difficult things to do in the midst of pressure is to still your spirit so God can speak to you. At times, when [you] are in that condition, God will use the prophetic voice to come alongside you in your distress to comfort you and help you.

This is what I am hearing God say for you, "You are coming into the most creative time of your life. The Holy Spirit, the Creator of the world, is going to fill you with His Spirit in a way beyond your understanding to help you go to a new level of anointing. He is going to fill you with His new wine to overflowing. Do not let fear paralyze you and stop up the flow He is wanting to release within you." Here is a strategy to get to the new places God wants you to go:

Ny blogg "Under och tecken"

Apg 14:3
Paulus och Barnabas stannade där en lång tid och talade frimodigt i Herren, som bekräftade sitt nåderika ord genom att låta tecken och under ske genom deras händer.

I denna sena tid tror jag Herren mer och mer kommer att bekräfta sitt Ord genom under och tecken, även här i Sverige. I takt med att det personliga vittnesbördet försvinner från våra gudstjänster, så känns det angeläget att via internet förmedla vad Herren gör, så att fler får veta vilken mäktig Gud Han är

Därför har jag också idag sjösatt en ny blogg som heter "Under och tecken" Något säger mig att vi står inför en tid där det inte kommer att bli svårt att fylla den med innehåll!

Varje inlägg skall dock prövas, för i den sista tiden skall också många falska under och tecken ske.

Matt 24:23
Ty falska messiasgestalter och falska profeter skall träda fram och göra stora tecken och under för att om möjligt bedra även de utvalda.

Skillnaden mellan soldat och krigare

Warriors Are Coming To Lead the Church Through the Kingdom Age

[The following article is not meant to be prophetic. It is based on experience and discussions with many students of the Word.]

Anyone who has willingly enlisted to fight against the enemy will tell you there is a difference between being a soldier and a warrior. There are many professional soldiers who take their jobs very seriously and are very good at what they do, but when you meet a warrior, you recognize the difference right away.

Some of the church leadership is about to be transferred from the hands of professional soldiers, to the hands of true warriors, which the soldiers of the cross will all soon become.

Warriors respond to the sound of the battle cry. They do not run from it. Warriors thrive on conflict and danger. Warriors are not discouraged by the oppositions and the troubles they face, but rather come alive when faced with them. This is the makeup of the emerging generation of Christians. Those who think the emerging generation of Christians is soft will be shocked by the warrior nation that is soon to be revealed.
God is a warrior. He uses the title “Lord of Hosts” ten times more than all of his other titles. In fact, in the Old Testament alone, the word “Hosts” is associated with God’s work or His name 290 times: 17 times in Psalms, 62 times in Isaiah, 77 times in Jeremiah, 53 times in Zephaniah, 24 times in Malachi, and 57 times between 16 other Old Testament books. God is a martial God. Those who are going to reveal him in these end times are going to begin taking on the discipline of a warrior because the emerging generation is being prepared to serve in the greatest time of trouble the world has ever known. Even so they will face these troubles with faith and confidence. They will earn the title, ‘Overcomers’ because they will never give way to opposition, troubles, or battles, but will fight to win like Joshua, who fought until the victory was won.

These emerging warrior Christians will have the same resolve because they will know who they are, who has sent them, and the power of the kingdom they represent. Like King David’s mighty men, who placed their faith and trust in the Lord of Hosts, their exploits will be known abroad and strike fear into the hearts of the King’s enemies.

As this warrior generation emerges, it will impact and bring transformation to the body of Christ. It will be so profound that churches will start being thought of more as military bases than congregations. Serious training and the sending out of spiritual forces for unprecedented strategic maneuvers will be the order of the day.

It is time for war! As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3:8, there is “a time for war and a time for peace.” When I and others were trained as medics and soldiers during the Vietnam war, it was a time for war. Then there was a time when we realized the war should come to an end, and it became a time for peace. I can still remember walking arm-in-arm down Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, D.C. singing, “Give peace a chance.”

It is very important that we understand when it is a time for war and a time for peace. This is a time for war. It is no accident that one of the greatest worshipers in the Bible, King David, was also one of the greatest warriors. True worship and warfare go together. How can one be a true worshiper of God and not be provoked by the evil of our time to stand for the truth, and by standing for truth against the evil one, set the captives free? The warriors who are about to arise will be provoked to action by every evil stronghold that holds men in bondage, and they will begin to bring them down with their divinely powerful weapons.

As this radical change comes upon the church, and every true Christian becomes a fearless warrior for the truth of the gospel, the basis of the great character change that will come will begin with them living by the greatest code of the greatest warriors the world has ever known: to die daily, to not live for themselves, but for the King, and do all things for the sake of his gospel.

As the Lord said in Luke 9:23-24, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”

This is the code of a true disciple, who is a true warrior. The world is about to witness what true disciples are like—the true salt and light of the world.

When we are already dead to this world, there is nothing the world can do to us, and we will fear nothing on this earth. Those who live without fear are the most free and powerful people on earth. There is nothing that strikes more fear into the camp of the enemy than such a people walking the earth again. They are already among us and will now begin to emerge. It is a generation unlike any that has walked the earth before. The Lord has really saved his best for last.

There can be no victory without a battle. There has been a religious mentality spreading over much of the church, that Christians should not experience a time of troubles, and if they do they are not walking in faith. This is contrary to the Scriptures. Both Jesus and the apostles spoke about the trials and tribulations that Christians are called to go through. There is a purpose for the trials, and there is victory that comes from facing them with faith and steadfastness. It was said of the ministry of the apostle Paul, that he went about “strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, ‘We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God’” (Acts 14:22).

The generation that has embraced the pseudo faith teachings, the wishful thinking theology, as I call it, which promotes a refusal to even acknowledge problems and troubles, has become possibly the weakest generation of Christians in history. The meltdown of morality, integrity and basic spiritual courage in much of Christianity, resembles something like a drug induced stupor more than biblical faith—a stupor that keeps most Christians sitting in their pews instead of going out to face the enemy. However, this is beginning to change, and the change is going to continue until the transformation is complete.

There is a new breed of Christians that is emerging who are more militant than the world has seen since the first century. They are warriors / fighters who will live the resolve not to surrender a single acre of ground to the enemies of the cross. The emerging generation is about to change forever the impression that Christians are wimps, fearful and cowering before the intimidating forces (atheists, renegade judges, etc.) of this world. Because of the present impression of the nature of Christians, the first wave of warriors will create shock waves of both fear and wonder in the present powers that be. This will begin to awaken the rest of Christianity to its true nature and destiny, just as Gideon’s breakthrough caused the rest of Israel to arise and take the spoil.

Soldiers know that a weapon, which jams at the wrong time, can mean death to themselves and many others, so they spend much time cleaning and caring for their weapons. The apostle Paul wrote about the divinely powerful weapons that we have been given. Few Christians understand these and fewer still have learned to use them. That is about to change. We are going to begin taking the same kind of daily care for what we have been entrusted with, and be the finest, most trustworthy soldiers. We must understand that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal weapons. They are divinely powerful and uncompromising weapons—spiritual weapons of love and truth.

Warriors love truth. Truth spoken under God’s anointing is the most powerful force on the earth. Like a good soldier, we should be continually cleaning and caring for the precious truth we have been entrusted with. We must become skilled marksmen, marksmen who can hit their targets right in the heart every time, and without hesitation. Our weapons must never jam.

Nations will soon bow the knee to the irresistible power of the truth that is about to be proclaimed by this warrior army of God. They will confront the greatest darkness of our time, and they will push it back. In all things, they will stand resolved and without compromise, so that all evil will retreat before them.

This warrior army will not be like the world’s armies, which kill, destroy, and plunder, but it will instead heal, restore, and set free those who are conquered by it. They will not come to take, but to give. The earth has never before seen such an army as the one, which will soon be released upon the earth. The call right now is going forth all over the earth to all those who would be part of it.

This army will strike fear into all who are not a part of it, including many sleeping or deluded Christians. The world has never seen anything like this before. The spirit of Elijah, which was upon John the Baptist to prepare the way for the Lord the first time, is coming upon tens of thousands to prepare for the second coming. Just as all of Judea came out to see John, whole nations will come to hear and be baptized in the Holy Spirit by those who are about to be revealed.

Are you ready to become a warrior in God’s Army? He promises to be with us in all we do. Won’t you take hold of his hand and let him lead you into the Kingdom Age?

Översättning "From Knowledge To Experience"

Från kunskap till erfarenhet – Cheryl Johnson
(From Knowledge To Experience)

18 feb 2009

Då jag lyssnade, hörde jag Fadern tala. Hans röst var mild och vänlig och då han talade upplevde jag en stark känsla av att jag befann mig i Vishetens närvaro. Jag hade aldrig förut tänkt på att visheten skulle kunna vara så påtaglig och levande, men då jag upplevde detta, så insåg jag med bävan, att Gud verkligen är Liv och allting i Honom och hos Honom är levande och ja, visheten benämns som en person i Ordspråksboken.

Detta är orden jag tog emot:

Mina barn, när jag ber er att sprida evangeliet, är det inte er kunskap om mig som jag vill att ni ska dela och föra vidare, det är er relation med mig som jag vill att ni ska berätta om. Detta är inget ni kan göra, det är något som ni är. Förstår ni mina barn, ni kan inte ge något som ni inte har. Ni kan inte vara något som ni inte är. Om läran och erfarenheten inte är ett – så kan ni inte komma längre. Det förstår ni, eller hur? Det ni tror om mig med ert förstånd förändrar bara ert yttre – det har ingen kraft att förvandla er på insidan.

Jesus levde ett heligt liv fylld med kraft att övervinna synden och göra stora mirakler. Han kunde göra det, eftersom han stod i rätt förhållande till mig – inte på grund av hans förståelse av mig utifrån köttet – utan på grund av hans andes förmåga att höra min röst och följa mina instruktioner. Hans hjärtas önskan var att se genom mina ögon och förstå på det sätt som jag förstår.

Jag beviljade hans hjärtas önskan. Jesus levde genom Anden, ett liv i tillbedjan, bön och kraft, försedd med kraft av mig för att förstå mitt ord, försedd med kraft av mig för att övervinna synden, försedd med kraft av mig att göra min vilja. Vet du vad den krafttillförseln bestod av? Vår gemenskap! Och genom hans död och tack vare vår kärlek till er, så har han gjort det möjligt för dig och mig att få en likadan kontakt, utan slöja. Ni har ett nytt förbund med mig. Det är min Ande i er som gör jobbet. Det är bara min Ande som kan förvandla lärosatser så de blir levande och verkliga i er.

Var och en av er har en lampa. Den gav jag er första gången ni kom till mig. Oljan i lampan kommer bara genom gemenskap med mig, ande till Ande. Ni behöver min olja i era lampor. Denna olja är uppenbarelsen av mitt ord som kommer genom gemenskap, och i den mån ni inte har den, så vandrar ni i det som är dött.

Prägeln på den tid som ligger framför er kommer att bevisa det. Jag har förelagt dig liv och död, välj då livet. Jag inbjuder er … det är en inbjudan att lära känna Mig genom Min Ande, inte genom ert intellekt, förstånd och känslor.
Ert förstånd och er själ (med alla känslor) är värdefulla och viktiga men de är inte herrar, de är tjänare till er ande och när er ande leds av min Ande och ert sinne och känslor följer er ande – det är då ni är i Kungariket.

Jag utgjuter min Ande över er. Detta år ger jag er min olja som gör det möjligt för er att förtrösta på mig, varje stund av dagen, för att se det jag ser, för att göra det jag gör och höra det jag säger. Ni tar emot detta då ni förtröstar på mig som ett barn. Ni tar emot detta då ni blir beroende av mig som ett barn.

Så, vill ni ta emot denna olja? Vill ni dö bort från er självständighet och förtrösta på mig?
Dö bort från er rädsla att lita på det som ni inte ser (förstår), för det är trons natur, att lita på det ni inte ser (med er kroppsliga kapacitet, men ändå är det som ni ser med er andliga kapacitet), Hebr 11:1.
Jag är Ande mina barn, inte kött. Jag uppenbarar inte Mig själv för ert förstånd och era känslor, jag uppenbarar Mig endast för er ande.

Alltför länge har ni levt oberoende av mig. Ert förtroende för ert förstånd och era känslor, och ert behov av att ha kontrollen, håller er borta från den sanna tron i mig. Världen lär er att om ni litar på det som ni inte kan se, känna, ta på eller förstå rent logiskt, då har ni fel.
Sådan självständighet från min Ande, kan sippra in i er personlighet redan som barn och väva sig in i er så bra att ni inte ens ser att den finns där.
Å andra sidan, medan er värld lär er att bli oberoende av min Ande, så lär den er också att lita på det som är falskt.
Ni söker efter diverse starka strukturer och idéer, ja, även det som ni har lärt om Mig och Mitt ord, och ni litar på det, i tro på att det kommer att hålla er uppe och det blir er trygghet.
Den känsla av trygghet som ni har här är emellertid falsk och rädsla, otro, tvivel, manipulation, kontroll, otrygghet, avundsjuka, konkurrens, oenighet och olika köttsliga lustar kommer in i ert liv. Allt detta innebär döden för er.
Jag är den som har gett er ett förstånd (medvetande) och känslor (själ) men de har skapats så att ni effektivt kan förstå, erfara och dela det som er andliga människa har kunskap om och tar emot från mig, inte tvärtom.

Din självständighet mitt barn är ingen trygg plats, ditt beroende av människan eller mänskliga idéer och strukturer istället för mig är ingen trygg plats, Jag skapade inte dig för att du skulle vara oberoende av mig. Jag skapade dig för gemenskap, gemenskap med mig – ande till Ande.

Värdera mig inte efter din erfarenhet av världen omkring dig. Du relaterar inte till Mig genom det du har tillsammans med människor – nej. Du relaterar med människor genom det du har med Mig.

Jag är kärleken som övervinner allt. Jag är Fadern som kan ge dig vila från platsen där ensamhet och självständighet råder och där rädsla, smärta och behovet av att ha kontroll stjäl från dig varje dag.
Så se upp, se genom dina andliga ögon, de gröna betesmarkerna som jag har berett för oss att gå på tillsammans. Ja, det ser ut som att gå på vatten med dina fysiska ögon, eftersom du förstår vad jag ber dig om, jag ber dig att dö från din självständighet på varje område i ditt liv, så ja, det här är en inbjudan att gå på vattnet med Mig, men mitt barn… sanningen är att det inte finns något som är mer orubbligt än att gå på vattnet med Mig. Och om du önskar, så kommer jag att öppna dina andliga ögon så du kan se det, och ger dig nåden att ta steget ut med mig.
Jag håller din hand och du kommer att gå med mig in i friheten du söker och behöver och förtjänar, eftersom du är mitt barn. Vandra med mig i Kungariket.

Guds eld

Predikan från församlingen Källporten:

Guds eld

Vi talar ofta om Guds eld, och att vi önskar att den ska brinna starkt i vårt land, men vad är egentligen Guds eld och vad är förutsättningen för att den ska brinna?

Elden vid tronen

Dan 7:9-10 Medan jag såg på djuret sattes troner fram, och den Gamle av dagar satte sig ner. Hans kläder var snövita och håret på hans huvud var som ren ull. Hans tron var av eldslågor och hjulen på den var av flammande eld. En ström av eld flöt ut från honom. Tusen gånger tusen tjänade honom och tio tusen gånger tio tusen stod inför honom. Han satte sig ner för att döma och böcker öppnades.

Jag vet inte hur du har föreställt dig hur Guds tron ser ut, men i Daniels syn var den av eldslågor. Lägg också märke till att det flöt en ström av eld ut från Fadern.

Gud uppenbarar sig i eld

Gud har uppenbarat sig på jorden, och han har gjort det i eld. När Mose mötte Gud första gången, så såg han en eldslåga i en buske.

2 Mos 3:2 Där uppenbarade sig HERRENS ängel för honom i en eldslåga som slog upp ur en buske. Han såg att busken brann av elden utan att busken brann upp

Vi ska strax konstatera att Gud är en förtärande eld, men i ovanstående bibelställe ser vi att busken inte brann upp. Guds eld förstör inte allt i sin väg.
Mose fick senare ett nytt ”eldsmöte” med Gud. Det skedde när Sinai berg ”brann” av Guds eld, dvs. Gud visade sin närvaro där.

2 Mos 19:18 Hela Sinai berg höljdes i rök därför att HERREN hade stigit ner på berget i eld. Rök steg upp därifrån som röken från en smältugn och hela berget skakade våldsamt

5 Mos 4:11 Ni trädde då fram och stannade vid bergets fot. Berget brann i eld ända upp till himlen, och där var mörker, moln och töcken.

Lägg märke till att elden sträckte sig från Sinai berg ”ända upp till himlen”. Vilken enorm manifestation av Guds närvaro!

Eld – en symbol för Guds härlighet

2 Mos 24:17 Och HERRENS härlighet såg för Israels barn ut som en förtärande eld på toppen av berget

Vi ser att det var Guds härlighet som visade sig i form av eld. Hur många gånger har vi inte talat om att vi behöver få se Guds härlighet, och hur många gånger har vi inte sjungit t.ex. sången ”Se Guds härlighet komma ner”. Handen på hjärtat, är det en ”förtärande eld” vi har tänkt på då?
Vi ska se på ett annat bibelställe som kopplar Guds eld med hans härlighet.

2 Krön 7:1-31 När Salomo hade slutat sin bön kom eld ner från himlen och förtärde brännoffret och slaktoffren, och HERRENS härlighet uppfyllde huset.2 Prästerna kunde inte gå in i HERRENS hus, eftersom HERRENS härlighet uppfyllde HERRENS hus.3 Då alla Israels barn såg hur elden kom ner och såg HERRENS härlighet över huset, föll de ner på den stenlagda gården med ansiktena mot marken och tillbad HERREN och tackade HERREN, därför att han är god och därför att hans nåd varar i evighet.

När elden föll så uppfylldes templet av Guds härlighet. Konsekvensen av det blev att prästerna inte kunde gå in, och att Guds folk böjde sig för honom.

Gud är en förtärande eld

Vi konstaterade nyss att busken, som Gud uppenbarade sig i, inte brann upp. Samtidigt säger oss Guds ord att Gud verkligen är en förtärande eld.

Hebr 12:28-29 Då vi alltså får ett rike som inte kan skaka, låt oss vara tacksamma och tjäna Gud efter hans vilja, med vördnad och fruktan. Ty vår Gud är en förtärande eld.

Elden faller på offret

Vi läser i 1 Kon 18:21-39 om Elias konfrontation med Baalsprästerna på berget Karmel. Elia byggde upp altaret, lade veden och offret på det, och bad, och Gud svarade med eld.

1 Kon 18:38 Då föll HERRENS eld ner och förtärde brännoffret, veden, stenarna och jorden och torkade upp vattnet som fanns i diket.

Elden föll på offret, och samma sak hände när kung Salomo bad och offrade.

2 Krön 7:1 När Salomo hade slutat sin bön kom eld ner från himlen och förtärde brännoffret och slaktoffren, och HERRENS härlighet uppfyllde huset.

Vår andliga tempeltjänst

Offren i templet på GT:s tid är en profetisk förebild för det som Gud vill ska ske i oss. Varje troende är ett Guds tempel, och vi är kallade till offer.

Rom 12:1-2 Så förmanar jag nu er, bröder, vid Guds barmhärtighet, att frambära era kroppar som ett levande och heligt offer som behagar Gud – er andliga gudstjänst. Och anpassa er inte efter den här världen, utan låt er förvandlas genom sinnets förnyelse, så att ni kan pröva vad som är Guds vilja, det som är gott och fullkomligt och som behagar honom.

Denna världens människor söker att förverkliga sig själva, de söker framgång och lycka. Bibeln visar oss troende på en annan väg. Vi är kallade att offra. Vi är kallade att lägga ner vårt eget på altaret, så att vi kan behaga Gud.

Elden skall alltid hållas brinnande

3 Mos 6:12-13 Men elden på altaret skall hållas brinnande och får inte slockna. Varje morgon skall prästen där antända ny ved, och ovanpå veden skall han lägga brännoffret och bränna fettstyckena av gemenskapsoffret. Elden skall alltid hållas brinnande på altaret. Den får inte slockna.

Elden i ditt liv får inte slockna. Du är prästen som ska lägga på ved och offer på altaret så att elden inte slocknar.

Brännoffret

3 Mos 6:12… ovanpå veden skall han lägga brännoffret …

Brännoffret handlar om försoning och rening. Vi behöver försonas både med Gud och varandra, och vi behöver rening i själen.
Vi läser i 3 Mos 6:9 att brännoffret ska ligga på altaret hela natten.

3 Mos 6:9 Ge Aron och hans söner denna befallning: Detta är lagen om brännoffret: Brännoffret skall ligga på altarets härd hela natten till morgonen och elden på altaret skall därigenom hållas brinnande

Vi sa att brännoffret är en bild på försoning. Gud vill att vi ska försonas med varandra. Han vill inte att vi ska gå omkring och hålla saker emot varandra. Han vill att vi ska offra vår prestige och våra rättigheter på altaret, och söka försoning med vår nästa.

Låt försoningen ligga på altaret hela natten

Ef 4:26 Grips ni av vrede, så synda inte. Låt inte solen gå ner över er vrede

Gud vill inte att vi ska behålla vrede mot någon. När kvällen kommer behöver vi göra oss av med den vrede som vi eventuellt har fyllts med under dagen. Vi läste i 3 Mos 6:9 att brännoffret, försoningsoffret, ska ligga på altaret hela natten. Vi behöver offra vreden på Guds altare. Då hålls Guds eld i våra liv brinnande.

3 Mos 6:9 Ge Aron och hans söner denna befallning: Detta är lagen om brännoffret: Brännoffret skall ligga på altarets härd hela natten till morgonen och elden på altaret skall därigenom hållas brinnande

Gemenskapsoffret

Det finns även ett gemenskapsoffer som ska hålla elden vid liv. Här vill vi låta det stå för den gemenskap som Gud vill att vi ska ha med varandra. Många gånger är det ett stort offer vi får göra för att stanna kvar i en gemenskap. Men gör vi det offret, om Gud leder oss att stanna kvar, då hålls Guds eld brinnande i våra liv.

3 Mos 6:12-13 Men elden på altaret skall hållas brinnande och får inte slockna. Varje morgon skall prästen där antända ny ved, och ovanpå veden skall han lägga brännoffret och bränna fettstyckena av gemenskapsoffret. Elden skall alltid hållas brinnande på altaret. Den får inte slockna.

Elden ska pröva

Elden har också en prövande funktion.

1 Kor 3:11-15 Ty någon annan grund kan ingen lägga än den som är lagd, Jesus Kristus. Om någon bygger på den grunden med guld, silver och dyrbara stenar eller med trä, hö och halm, så skall det visa sig vad var och en har byggt. Den dagen kommer att visa det, eftersom den uppenbaras i eld, och hur vars och ens verk är skall elden pröva. Om det verk någon har byggt består provet, skall han få lön. Men om hans verk bränns upp, skall han gå miste om lönen. Själv skall han dock bli frälst, men som genom eld.

När vi tar emot Jesus som Herre i våra liv, så läggs en grund. Den grunden är Jesus. Sedan kan vi bygga våra liv på den grunden, antingen med det som Gud vill eller med något annat. Vi måste vara på det klara med att Guds eld kommer att pröva värdet på det vi har byggt. När vi står inför Jesus en gång är det för sent att göra saker annorlunda. Då får vi ta konsekvensen av våra val. Tänk så mycket bättre det är att Guds eld får bränna upp det som är skräp i våra liv redan nu. För att det ska ske behöver vi vara villiga att offra det.

Motståndets eld

Det finns en motståndets eld. Vi måste vara beredda att möta den när vi vandrar i lydnad för Gud. Historien om Sadrak, Mesak och Abednego i den brinnande ugnen är bekant. Du kan läsa om dem i Dan 3. De vägrade att kompromissa, och de stod för sanningen med risk för sitt liv. Konsekvensen blev att de kastades i den brinnande ugnen. Hur lätt hade det inte varit för Gud att blåsa ut elden, men i stället gick Jesus med dem genom prövningen och de tog ingen skada.

Dan 3:24-25 Då blev kung Nebukadnessar förskräckt. Han steg hastigt upp och frågade sina rådsherrar: ”Var det inte tre män vi band och kastade i elden?” De svarade kungen: ”Jo visst, o konung.” Då sade han: ”Ändå ser jag nu fyra män som går lösa och lediga inne i elden, och de är helt oskadda. Och den fjärde ser ut som en gudason.”

Främmande eld

När vi ändå talar om eld så låt oss även ta med att det finns främmande eld.

3 Mos 10:1 Men Arons söner Nadab och Abihu tog var sitt fyrfat och lade eld i dem, strödde på rökelse och bar fram främmande eld inför HERRENS ansikte, något som han inte hade befallt dem

Den främmande elden står för något annat än vad Gud vill. Vi kan göra saker som ser bra ut, och människor kan uppfatta det som något fantastiskt, men är det inte vad Gud vill så blir det främmande eld. Det blir religiositet. Gud såg oerhört allvarligt på Nadabs och Abihus tilltag, och vi måste förstå att han ser lika allvarligt på religiositet i våra liv.

Kärlekens eld

Det finns också en kärlekens eld.

HV 8:6 Sätt mig som ett sigill på ditt hjärta, som ett sigill på din arm. Ty kärleken är stark som döden, dess svartsjuka obetvinglig som dödsriket. Dess glöd är som eldsglöd, en HERRENS låga

Vi behöver låta Guds kärleks eld brinna i våra liv.
En bekant sa vid ett tillfälle:”Det profeteras så mycket om väckelse. Vi kan lika gärna titta efter väckelse i ’pälsärmen’, eftersom det inte finns någon kärlek och omsorg i församlingen. Gud kommer inte att skicka väckelse om vi inte är beredda att ta hand om dem som kommer”

Församlingens uppdrag att besegra fienden

Det finns slutligen ett uppdrag för församlingen att besegra fienden. När Guds eld, Guds härlighet, går fram så kuvas fienden, och det är församlingens sak att driva bort dem.

5 Mos 9:3 Därför skall du i dag veta att HERREN, din Gud, är den som går framför dig som en förtärande eld. Han skall förgöra dem och kuva dem för dig, och du skall driva bort dem och utrota dem snabbt, så som HERREN har lovat dig

Hur ska vi få elden?

Hur ska vi då få del av elden? Genom att ta emot Jesus, och därmed den helige Ande.

Matt 3:11… Han skall döpa er i den helige Ande och i eld

Men också genom att läsa bibeln.

Jer 23:29 Är inte mitt ord som en eld, säger HERREN …

Luk 24:32 Och de sade till varandra: ”Brann inte våra hjärtan när han talade med oss på vägen och öppnade Skrifterna för oss?”

Jesus vill att elden ska brinna

Luk 12:49 Jag har kommit för att tända en eld på jorden…

Är du villig att offra för att elden ska få brinna starkt i ditt hjärta? Är du villig att lägga ”rättigheter” på altaret för att Guds eld ska fortsätta att brinna?
Genom ett folk som bär Guds eld i sina hjärtan ska vi få se Guds eld i Sverige.

"Prophet as sign
by Martin Scott on March 11, 2008

Prophet as sign: this was what I spoke on at Burton upon Trent Friday 7th, March. It is over an hour long - sorry! Sue was my best critic and she used to tell me: ‘too long, just say what you have to say and stop!’ So a summary:

- There are prophets who are signs - Hosea, Isaiah and Ezekiel are three good examples
- when we are signs we will live through things physically that are a sign spiritually
- signs point to the reality and
- draw the reality to earth
- signs become intercession
- signs do not need to be as long as the reality…
- and not sure what else I said. "

och lyssna till en MYCKET intressant predikan och undervisning av Martin Scott.

Inta landet - ett ord för 2009

When God allows us to be hemmed in by impossibilities, He is merely setting the stage for us to experience the miraculous!

Jesus warned that the last days would be typified by wars, rumors of war, earthquakes, and famines. (Matthew 24.6 & 7). While it is hard to absolutely state we are in the “last” last days, the years of 2008 & 2009 certainly are experiencing the very things Jesus spoke of. In a parallel prophecy, Haggai predicted everything that could be shaken would be shaken! (Hag.2.6 & 7). As with Jesus’ prophesy, Haggai’s is in many way being fulfilled, as well. Everything from the global economies and politics to the weather patterns have been shaken over the last few years. Historic cold and snow in places like S. America and S. Africa, the western world economies being shaken (complete with the island nation of Iceland basically bankrupt) and as 2009 began- fierce fighting between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza. As if that were not enough there is the fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, the heightened tensions between Pakistan and India, and the genocide, which has taken, place in Darfur, and a severe cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe!

There is a very different side of the coin regarding these prophecies, however. On the one side are the disasters- natural, economic, war and the threat of war. The mitigating factor, herein, is fear. The fear factor of these disasters is exponentially multiplied far beyond the mere sum of the events. Completely contrary to naturally minded thinking regarding the state of the world, however, is what God has spoken and is speaking! Haggai encouraged us to not be afraid- due to the fact that God’s Spirit is abiding in our midst. Jesus Himself stated that when all of these things were to happen to not be afraid, nor to let our hearts grow cold- dulled through fear and unbelief.

Jesus’ words of encouragement were that in this time of great difficulty the gospel would be preached to all peoples. Haggai’s encouragement was that in the midst of the shaking, the glory of God would fill the house- both in a supernatural and natural ways. Haggai chapter 2, verses 7-8 read: “‘I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the LORD of hosts.”

For those who truly know God, the glory of His presence far exceeds the glory of gold or any other treasure of this world. At the same time, silver and gold (money) is a vital tool given by God to facilitate the work of the Kingdom. The wise men brought gold as a gift to Jesus when He was born! I believe that Joseph and Mary saved the bulk of that gold and it financed some of the ministry Jesus and His disciples did later on. These prophecies of God’s favor and provision being with us during dark and difficult times bring me to what I believe God is saying regarding this New Year.

2008 was for many a transition year. It was a season of metaphorically crossing over “Jordans” into the “Broad Place” of His long awaited promise(s). (See the article entitled “the Beauty of the Burnt Stones” on our website) One of the key differences between the younger generation who crossed over the Jordan compared with the previous generation who did not was faith that God would be with them to face the giants, the iron chariots, and the fierce enemies within the Promised Land. God is calling the contemporary church to not focus on the stock markets, the unemployment, the wars, and rumors of war. Rather we are to focus on the economy, provision, power, wisdom, and revelation of God’s Kingdom which knows no lack whatsoever. When one invests in the Kingdom of God, one’s stock is always at a premium.

The number “eight” Biblically speaking is symbolic of new beginnings. “Nine” is symbolic of fruitfulness and completion. The number “3” according to Bible numerology is symbolic of perfection and completeness. There is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit that comprise the trinity of God Himself. Time is comprised of the past, the present, and the future. Matter consists of mineral, vegetable, and animal. Nine is the number three squared! And speaking of fruit- there are the nine “flavors” of the “fruit of the Spirit” according to Galatians chapter 5, verses 22 & 23. As well, there are the nine gifts of the Spirit, which comprise the “Charisma” supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. And speaking of the Charisma gifts these are actually comprised of three groups of three gifts- the three power gifts, the three revelatory gifts, and the three discernment gifts which when added up, again, equal three squared! For more than just a few reasons “nine” can be equivocated with great fruit, Biblically speaking!

If last year was a year for getting “out of the gate”, this year is symbolic of pioneering new Holy Spirit inspired endeavors for taking the land. Our eyes must not be focused on the impossibilities of the world and its fallen systems, but rather the eyes of our hearts must be focused on the God with whom all things are possible. This is a year to behold the Lord of the Hosts who is standing outside the contemporary Jericho’s- the seemingly impenetrable armed fortresses the enemy holds which God is calling us to bring change to. When God allows us to be hemmed in by impossibilities, He is merely setting the stage for us to experience the miraculous.

I believe God is going to be releasing supernatural Kingdom vision, strategies, wisdom, people, provision, and power for fresh initiatives in seeing lives saved, healed, and delivered from the deception and entanglements of the devil. I believe this is a year for gearing up according to the supernatural provision of heaven and then stepping out in the faith of God, which only comes about by hearing God (Romans 14.17).

One point I would like to stress is simply that we don’t need any new heroes! We simply need a bigger revelation of the majesty, power, and compassion of Christ Jesus. When it came time for the miraculous, the first generation out of Egypt all focused on Moses, the great man of God. With all the people watching he stretched forth his staff – his anointing, and the waters parted. We are now called to be an emerging “Joshua people”. When Joshua led the people and they came to the flooded Jordan rather then have them focus on the great-anointed leaders- Joshua and Caleb, God had the priests themselves step into the impossible. While keeping their eyes were focused on the Arc- His presence, they were to step into the very wet water. It was then, when the feet of the priests touched the waters, and not before, that the miraculous came into play. God wants everyday Christians to look past the impossibilities and see the potential of God, then step right into the flood of the impossible. As we do so by the leading of the Holy Spirit the miraculous will take place, but not before our feet step into the seemingly impossible.
According to Revelation 5.10 we are both a Kingdom and Priesthood to our God. We are all to be led by the Spirit into the miraculous as the mature sons of God (Romans 8.4 & 15). The time for cult of personality within the camp of God’s people is over. God is calling each of us to behold both the Lamb of God AND the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! It is only out of a bigger revelation of God that we can more fully understand in our hearts who we are called to be- the mature Christ like sons of God, led by the Spirit as our Lord Jesus was! As God said to the Hebrews who were about to cross the flood waters- keep your eyes on My presence for you will be going a way you have never gone before and I will then do wonders in our midst!

According to the Oxford American Dictionary the word “pioneer” means “a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area.” Just as the Hebrews who crossed the Jordan river began to explore, conquer, and settle new lands promised them by the Lord, many Christians, churches, and leaders will, I believe explore, conquer, and settle new areas of ministry. While it is true that there is nothing new under the sun, it is also true that God has more for those who love Him than we can even imagine. I believe this will be a great year of breakthrough in new areas of ministry as well as great fruitfulness for many.

Additionally, 2009 will be a year noted for the miraculous on many fronts. It will be a year when many begin to move from glory to glory, rather than mere critical insight to critical insight. It is no longer a time to try to mimic someone else in order to generate their experiences in God. It is a time to set the eyes of our hearts on the God of our Lord Jesus and the Father of all glory. In so doing the promise of Ephesians 1.17-19 will kick into gear. We will experience first hand the hope of the calling we have in Christ, the experience of His surpassing power towards us who believe, and to have a sense of our true inheritance- His glory in our lives.

One final point: I believe there are going to emerge many Josephs and Daniels in places of great importance. Some may be in the realm of government while some may be in areas of great economic importance. They will be Spirit filled men and women of integrity who have the ears of the kings of this world. And like the Joseph and Daniel of old they will be used by God to impart wisdom from above in great times of need!

“behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome… And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.” Revelation 5.5 & 6

De gömda ska bli synliga

Hello Beloved Child of God,

As I write to you in this heartfelt prophetic message you will hear not only the insights and exhortations that the Lord has given to me to share with you, but you will also hear the plea of heaven's King for His people to become honest with themselves and to examine the condition of their hearts, homes, and spheres of influence, whether it be ministry or in the marketplace.

I feel that the following paragraphs are prophetically assigned for many of you who are now in a place of great decision-making and transition.

May the Lord speak clearly to you as you read.

In His Shadow,
Mary Lindow

SOON TO BE UNCOVERED - THE HIDDEN
By Mary Lindow

And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet:
"Out of Egypt I called my son." (Matthew 2:15 fulfilling Hosea 11:1)

THE LORD IS CALLING A GENERATION OF "SON'S" (AND DAUGHTERS) UNTO HIMSELF THAT WILL NOT EMBRACE THE "WAY OF EGYPT"
but will be brought to a place of humility and not fight for rank or heavy-handed authority.

NOT ONLY WILL THESE HIDDEN ONES BE UNCOVERED IN A SEASON ABOUT
TO OCCUR IN THE BODY, BUT THE CONTRAST TO ALL OF THE HYPERBOLE AND
FLESHY MERCHANDISING OF THE ANOINTING WILL BE SO OBVIOUS TO THE PURE AND HUNGRY BELIEVER THAT LIGHT WILL DRIVE OUT THE DIM BULB OF MAN’S PRODUCTIONS WHICH RESEMBLE THE GOLDEN CALVES ONCE "CREATED" IN
PAST ATTEMPTS TO PACIFY THE LAGGING BELIEVER.

THERE IS TRAVAIL IN THE HEART OF GOD
that is so passionate and real that only those who have been purged of the toxic poison of selfish ambition can understand!
The Heart of heaven throbs with grief when He sees the cunning manipulation of those who promote and entice with supposed "new revelations" and smug aloofness to personal holiness and devotion to a prayer filled life.

THIS IS A SEASON TO LOOK AT THE MARRIAGES OF THOSE WHO APPEAR TO BE SO "ANOINTED" AND ADORED.
If the ministry-gifted individual is ministering more to the masses and is not ministering to his or her own family …the balance will tilt and the All-seeing King of truth will judge the character.

“ALL HUMAN SIN
SEEMS SO MUCH WORSE IN ITS CONSEQUENCES
THAN IN ITS INTENTIONS.”
~ Reinhold Niebuhr

SAINTS! ALL OF THE ADULATIONS AND NOTORIETY ON THE EARTH
WILL NOT BRING YOU FAVOR WITH GOD!

IF YOUR HOME IS A WRECK THAN YOU WILL ALSO WRECK THE PEOPLE OF GOD WITH THE SAME ARROGANCE AND LACK OF ORDER YOU MODEL IN THE HOME!
The Lord will allow the folly of our ways to catch up with us eventually. How we receive His correction will also reveal our level of humility and ability to act kindly to those bringing that correction.

AS WE BEGIN TO SEE THE DAWNING OF THE PROMISED WAVE
of God's greatest harvest event ever known to man since the birth of Christ Jesus, the Lord is going to allow the "Herod spirit attitudes" to be justly addressed. There are those who thought they were once at the forefront of what God was doing and have "lost" that so called edge by either getting harsh and critical or through focusing strictly on their own ministry advancement.

THE LORD IS LOVINGLY ALLOWING PAINFUL TRAVAIL TO OCCUR
in order for the current generation of Fathers and Mothers in the faith to see that through releasing, and affirming the sons and daughters in their care, or…. who are now, (due to the season), moving past them in influence or in a specific anointing, they WILL once again... run hard and multiply themselves through sending out the new wave of the King's regiments!

THERE IS A UNIQUE FRUIT THAT YOU WILL BEAR
as a forerunner of the king and as a representative in that calling you claim to have that He himself paid the price for. Let us be brutally honest with ourselves as we stand on the threshold of the greatest promise the Lord has offered to date in the call to his people.

AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES, I URGE YOU TO SEE THAT THE HEART OF THE KINGDOM IS ONE THAT IS MERCIFUL, PATIENT, AND INCLUSIVE TOWARDS OTHERS. THIS IMITATES A UNITED HEAVENLY TEAM OF BROKEN VESSELS,
who are ready and prepared to let the Lord increase, and are also ready to let themselves decrease in any level of control, heavy handed judgment, and self focus.

WHEN YOU FOLLOW THE DESIRES OF YOUR SINFUL NATURE, YOUR LIVES WILL PRODUCE THESE EVIL RESULTS:
Sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

BUT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CONTROLS OUR LIVES, HE WILL PRODUCE THIS KIND OF FRUIT IN US:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the rules of the Kingdom and the law! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another. (Galatians Chapter 5: 19-26)

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
IF ANOTHER CHRISTIAN IS OVERCOME BY SOME SIN, YOU WHO ARE GODLY SHOULD GENTLY AND HUMBLY HELP THAT PERSON BACK ONTO THE RIGHT PATH.
And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody. Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct. (Galatians Chapter 6: 1-5)

WE ARE BEING GIVEN TIME,
through the mercy and kindness of God to get our hearts and heart intentions in line with the reality of God’s plans. Taking a hard look at ourselves and allowing others to warn, assist, and advise, rarely mimics anything that reflects earthly intelligence or mania.

WISDOM COMES FROM GOD ABOVE.
Intelligence comes from man’s own efforts. Let us not confuse these issues as to what is considered Character or Charisma A Godly Character reflects inclusiveness of others, compassion, patience, brutal self-examination and honesty. Charisma is one with flair, influence, sparky-ness and human wit. It draws others into a web of hope and promise but rarely sacrifices it’s own agenda and comfort.

Let us bow down in a holy fear of the Lord’s Almighty ability to “scan our inner thoughts” and ask Him to truly renew in us a clean heart, clean motives and clear pathways. Remember, the pathways we are walking and paving in our lives, is the legacy we leave for those in another Generation to either humbly follow as we imitate Christ or else have great disdain over the self sustained and self fulfilling lifestyles that failed them.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.
Anyone who does what is good is from God.
Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11

”Välsignad är vår Herre Jesu Kristi Gud och Fader, som i Kristus har välsignat oss med all den himmelska världens andliga välsignelse” Ef 1:3

”Saligt är det folk som har HERREN till sin Gud, det folk han utvalt till sin arvedel.” Ps 33:12

Mina älskade, Jag älskar er med en ömhet som människor inte kan förstå och Jag bär er i den kärleken dygnet runt. Jag har utvalt er för att kunna ger er Min barmhärtighet och visa er Min trofasthet. Jag tänker alltid på er och Jag är närmare er än den luft ni andas.

Många gånger har ni tvivlat på Min omsorg om er pga av de utmaningar ni möter. Men det är inte Jag som har skapat de här utmaningarna, inte heller har Jag svikit er vid något tillfälle.
Ni blandar ofta ihop Min kärlek med er välsignelse och tror att Min kärlek är beroende av Min välsignelse.

Men min välsignelse kommer på många olika sätt, sätt som ni inte alltid förstår eller ser.
Vila i min kärlek, tro på min trofasthet och lita på att Jag ger dig det du inte har. För jag kommer helt säkert att ge dig det som jag har instiftat för dig: liv och frid, och dessutom kommer Jag att lägga till mycket mer.

Ni är välsignade, Mina barn, för ni är Kungabarn

Från kunskap till erfarenhet

From Knowledge To Experience
Cheryl Johnson

Feb 18-2009

As I was listening, I heard the Father speak. His tone was gentle and kind and as He spoke I had a keen sense of being in the presence of Wisdom. I had never thought of wisdom as tangible and alive before, but as I experienced this, in awe I realized that indeed God is Life and everything in Him and about Him is alive and yes, wisdom is referred to as a person in Proverbs.

The word I received:

"My children, as I ask you to spread the Gospel, it is not your knowledge of Me that I ask you to share and impart, it is your relationship with me that I ask you to spread. This is not something that you can do, it is something that you are. You see My children, you cannot give out what you do not have. You cannot be what you are not. If your doctrine does not match your experience—there is only so far that you can you go with that. You see that don’t you? What you believe in your mind about Me only dresses you up on the outside—it has no power to transform you from the inside.

Jesus lived a holy life filled with power to overcome sin and do great miracles. He did this as man in right relationship with Me—not based upon His carnal understanding of Me—but based upon His spirit’s ability to hear my voice and follow My instruction. The desire of His heart was to see through My eyes and reason through My understanding.

I granted the desire of His heart. Jesus lived by the Spirit, a life of adoration, prayer and power, empowered by Me to understand My word, empowered by Me to overcome sin, empowered by Me to do My will. Do you know what that empowerment was?—Our relationship! And by His death and because of our Love for you, He made it possible for you and Me to connect without the veil, in the exact same way. You have a new covenant with Me. It is My Spirit in you that does the work. Only My Spirit takes doctrine and makes it alive and real on the inside of you.

Each one of you has a lamp. I gave it to you when you first came to Me. The oil in your lamp only comes through relationship with Me, spirit to Spirit. You need My oil in your lamp. This oil is revelation of My word that comes from relationship, and to the extent that you do not have it, you walk in what is dead. The nature of this time ahead of you will prove this. There is before you both Life and death, choose Life. I give you an invitation…an invitation to know Me by My Spirit and not by your intellect, reasoning and emotions. Your intelligent mind and emotional soul are valuable and important but they are not a master, they are a servant to your spirit and when your spirit is led by My Spirit and your mind and emotions follow the leading of your spirit—that is when you are in the Kingdom.

I am pouring out My Spirit on all. This year I give you My oil that enables you to lean on Me, every moment of your day, to see what I am seeing, to do what I am doing, to hear what I am saying. You receive this as you trust Me like a child. You receive this as you depend upon Me as a child.

So, will you take this oil? Will you die to your independence and lean on Me? Die to your fears of trusting in what you do not see (understand), because that is the nature of faith, trusting in what you do not see (with your physical capabilities, and yet what you do see with your spirit’s capabilities) Heb 11:1. I am Spirit My children, not flesh. I do not reveal Myself to your mind and emotions, I reveal Myself to your spirit alone.

For too long you have lived independently. Your confidence in your intellect and emotions and your need to be in control keeps you away from true faith in Me. Your world teaches you that if you depend on what you cannot see, feel, touch or logically and reasonably comprehend, you are wrong. Such independence from My Spirit can seep into your personality even as a child and weave itself into your nature so well that you don’t even know it’s there. On the flip side, while your world teaches you to be independent from My Spirit, it also teaches you to depend on what is false. You look for various strong structures and ideas, yes, even your learned ideas of Me and My word, and you lean upon that, believing that it will hold you up and it becomes your security. The sense of security you have here is false however, and fear, unbelief, doubt, manipulation, control, insecurity, jealousy, competition, division and various lusts of the flesh enter your life. All this brings death to you. I am the one who has given you an intellect (mind) and emotions (soul) but they are made so you can effectively understand, experience and share what your spirit man knows and receives from Me, not the other way around.

Your independence My child is not a place of security, your dependence on man or man made ideas and structures in place of Me is not a place of security. I did not create you to be independent from Me. I created you for relationship, relationship with Me—spirit to Spirit.

Do not weigh Me by your experiences of the world around you. You do not relate with Me through what you have with man—no. You relate with man through what you have with Me.

I am the Love that conquers all. I am the Father who can give you rest from that lonely place of independence where fear, pain and the need to be in control rob you each day. So look out before you, see through the eyes of your spirit, the green pastures I have laid out for us to walk on together. Yes, it looks like walking on water to your physical eyes, because you know what I am asking, I am asking you to die to your independence in every area of your life, and so yes, this is an invitation to walk on water with Me, but My child… the truth is, there is nothing more unshakable than walking on this water with Me. And if you desire, I will open your spiritual eyes to see this, and grant you the Grace to step out with Me. I will hold your hand and you will walk with Me into the freedom you seek and need and deserve, because you are My child. Walk with Me in the Kingdom. "

Du är min krigare

You are my warrior

This is a time when I will pour My Spirit upon all men. I am preparing you for war, so take up the keys that I have given you and use them. Your battle continues to rage because you have allowed it to. You have not used the keys I have given you. I have given you many keys, for I want you to fight your battles. You have continuously cried out to Me to fix your problems, but I desire that you fight and war with the weapons of warfare that I have already given to you. I have equipped you with all you need to go to war.

Be mindful, for the main war is already won but the battle still rages. And you, brave one, must continue to battle. I have sent warring angels on your side to protect you. Don't walk around as a weary soldier who lives in defeat because I have made you victorious through Me. Remember you are more than a conqueror.

I have not sent you out just to be defeated. You have dominion over this kingdom, so rule it as it is yours. Take charge over the principalities and the darkness in the air. If you don't take charge over them, then you have allowed them to take charge over you. You are from the royal priesthood, bought by the blood of My Son, so use the power that runs through your family' bloodline to scatter the enemies. They know who you are, and they know Who lives in you. Let Me arise in you and let all the enemies be scattered.

Go now brave one, and take back what has been stolen from you.

Öppna dörren åt rätt håll!

Jade Gillies är en kvinna som inte har någon koppling till Sverige, men Herren har gett henne sin kärlek till vårt land. Hon tog emot detta tilltal i två delar för knappt ett år sedan. Nu är det tid att publicera detta. Läs de bibelverser som nämns på svenska och låt dem tala till dig och var med och be över innehållet i budskapet.

Om du får en uppenbarelse över budskapet får du gärna höra av dig till mig på profetiskt@hotmail.com

Herren välsigne dig!

Sweden, March 2008.

Part One.

God gave me a picture of two people facing each other. They put their index fingers together, so that these two people were now touching each other through a finger. Blue and white electricity then ran through each person. Electricity flowed from one person into the other and visa versa. It was like both these people had a real passion for God and when their passion met, it caused electricity. I then saw that these two people were at the front of a big room and they were actually at the middle of a long row of people. Each person’s index finger touched the person’s finger on either side of them in the line and electricity shot down the whole row of people. I then saw that the whole room was actually full of people.

The electricity kept flowing through the first row and also then shot through a line of people at the side of the room and then it flowed down a row of people at the very back of the room and then the electricity shot down a line of people on the other side of the room. There was now a square of electricity flowing through people around the outer edge of the room. The electricity then shot through the second row of people at the front of the room. The electricity kept whizzing around the room in the shape of a continuous square until everyone in the whole room was connected and filled with electricity.

The picture was then a room full of blue and white electric lines. God brought in to one room an army of His people and each person’s passion for God impacted on the others and doubled everyone’s passion and courage for Him. This gathering was so powerful that it turns a room of God’s chosen people into an army of electricity and power.

The picture then changed to a green piece of land, which looked like a large scale map of a country with very little detail on it. The land was covered in little white dots of light.

The picture then suddenly changed again. I saw a person at the beginning of an alleyway. The alley was very dark, filthy, damp, dead, desolate and closed in. It was horrible. The person then put their hand on the left hand wall, which was next to where they were standing. Their handprint was a white powder and looked vibrant, powerful, pure and hot against the dirty, black wall. The contrast was amazing.

God then came up behind the person and placed His hand on top of the person’s hand. God pushed the hand strongly and really hard into the wall, so that the handprint went in deeper and deeper. Suddenly, I could see through the wall. It was the outer wall of a block of flats. I could see no details, just black empty rooms. I could see right through the flat to the opposite outer wall. I could now see that there was a thick ray of white light coming out of the white handprint. The ray reached to the middle of the room. I then saw that on the other outer wall, directly opposite this white handprint was another white handprint with a light beam coming out of it. These two rays of light met and connected in the middle of the room. This connection caused a thick beam of strong light to run along the whole street; straight through the middle of the insides of every home in this row.

Part Two

I had a real sense that God has a massive passion for Sweden and the Swedish nation. I could feel His passion burning inside of me. It was so strong that I found myself becoming passionate about Sweden and I have absolutely no connections with the country or the people. His passion is so great that it is contagious.

The word, “birthed” kept coming to me and there was a strong sense that Sweden is a great nation and new things will be birthed there.

I asked God to show me what would be birthed in Sweden. He showed me several things. He led me to the beginning of verse 20 of Psalm 78:

“When He struck the rock, water gushed out,
and streams flowed abundantly”.

The rest of this Psalm is completely irrelevant for this situation. God wasn’t there and didn’t speak through any other verses, but He clearly showed me these two lines.

God then led me to Psalm 45 vs. 2 – 5:

“You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with
grace,
since God has blessed you forever.
Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty
one;
Clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and
righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of The King’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.”

I felt myself uncontrollably underlining the last line, “let the nations fall beneath your feet”. I felt that God was saying this will happen to Sweden. People have been anointed by God to bring people to Him. All the evil will succumb and the nation will bow before God, because of the impact that His people have.

God gave me the word, “gate”. I then saw a picture of a big brown wooden gate. I was looking at the gate side on, so I could see what was happening on either side of the gate. A person came and pushed the gate, trying to open it. He couldn’t because there was a strong invisible force on the other side of the gate pushing against him. The person called for back up and lots of people came to the gate. They all pushed the gate, but it wouldn’t budge, because there was now two hands pushing the gate towards them. The hands were God’s hands.

Suddenly, the people realised that the gate opened in the other direction and they all stood back. God’s hands pushed the gate towards them. His hands pushed the gate wide open and hooked it back, so that it wouldn’t close. People were then able to and did flood through the gate.
I felt I should reach for my Bible. I opened it and was magnetically drawn to Matthew 8 vs. 28 – 34: The healing of two demon-possessed men.

I thought this was completely bizarre and I didn’t understand why God wanted me to see this. I kept being drawn to it and nothing else on the page. I knew this was what God wanted me to see and I kept reading the story. I then read the final sentence of the story again: “And when they saw him (Jesus), they pleaded with him to leave their region.” God suddenly revealed to me why this story was significant. What Jesus did in this story was good and right. The people, however, didn’t like how He chose to resolve the situation, because a heard of pigs – someone’s livelihood – was destroyed. They therefore wanted Him gone. You have to be prepared to let God open the gate in the way He wants to and in the direction He desires. Let God do what He wishes and there will be success. The gate will be opened wide and people will flood through it.

Relationen mellan välsignelse och gott förvaltarskap

from the desk of Bill Johnson...

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion (Ps. 84:5-7, NKJV).

What do we have access to in this life? The key to that discovery is this: Most of what you need in life will be brought to you; most of what you want, you will have to go get. The process of the pursuit is what matures you into a person who can correctly steward what you have cried out for once you receive it.

Many are asking for something new but haven't stewarded what they have already been given. How do you get more of anything in the Kingdom? Faithful in little, faithful in much. There will be no radical increase of anointing until you develop and steward what has already been given to you in an embryonic state. Gifts are free, maturity is expensive. Faithfully using what you have been freely given positions you for increase.

Sometimes when we are looking for great breakthrough, we can pray past the anointing for a miracle. Many are married to the process of lengthy prayer but fail to recognize the anointing we have been given. We are crying out for a greater outpouring like Azusa Street, but what happened to the water of the last outpouring? It went under the mountaintops, came down into the valleys, and soaked into the soil on which you are standing. Be assured that the driest place in your life has water right underneath it because it is impossible for God to put you in a place outside where water is out of reach – the Kingdom is at hand! There is something about refusing to believe God would ever put you in a dry place and living with a burning conviction that says, "My God is good! He would not put me in a place where I have no access to water." He may put you in a place where by appearance everything is dry, but in that place of weeping (the Valley of Baca) you are capable, through godly stewardship of what has been given to you, of turning it into a spring. You will find that God has hidden the water of the last outpouring right under the soles of your feet.

Something happens when you refuse to give in to a lifestyle of loss but recognize the tools and blessing you have been given in the moment. The normal Christian life for us is making an adjustment and saying, "I was not born for loss and to be stolen from. Yes, I was born for war, but I was born for victory in that war. I refuse to believe that God would put me in a place where I have no access to the refreshing of the Lord." Take that stance, and you will have the strength to pursue those things that God has for you. In your dry place you will find refreshing springs of water.
