As I have mentioned in a previous post,
I have been going through such a process in the past year
of stepping out of fear.
I was able to break through the debilitating hold of fear
about two months after it surfaced,
but since then,
the remains and residue of a lifetime of fear has been
falling off and washing away.
You know, God sometimes performs healings instantly and miraculously.
But oftentimes, its a process.
It's standing and believing and declaring what He accomplished
on the cross over our lives until the healing-
body, mind and spirit,
is manifested.
That's how it was with me.
Every time that particle of fear residue would be uncovered,
I would have to make a choice.
I could choose to succumb to the fear or
I could choose to stand a little longer in Him
and know that freedom was at hand.
Also, once we realize just how small and powerless the enemy
really is, we wont be no where near as
moved and affected by his tactics to destroy us.
But that is a subject for another time!
As long as I can remember, I have had fear in my life.
I remember at a young age watching about the Gulf War on tv.
That is when the "outside" fear first came in.
From there it progressed into Saddam Hussein,
the Oklahoma City Bombing, the first mentions of Osama bin Laden,
Y2K, September 11, 2001, the War on Terror.....
and everything up until now.
There was this deep rooted fear of things of this world that
were completely out of my control.
And unfortunately, at 6 years old,
I did not know how to find peace in the midst of it.
So I carried all of that buried deep down in my soul for 24 years.
Right now,
in our nation,
the spirit of fear is running rampant.
It is controlling everything.
Mainstream media, the election,
the hearts of the people in EVERY circumstance.
Recently I listened to an interview with Hank Kunneman on
Sid Roth's show, "It's Supernatural" and what he said about
our nation and fear revealed to me why and how this spirit
has hung around and bred among the American people for so long.
Hank says,
"There are many that are prophesying according to the spirit of fear.
You know fear is a very powerful spirit. It is a spirit. And it's what the enemy is using to push
back The Glory."
"When we got into agreement with the spirit of fear,
it unleashed the spirit of fear."
"We have to be wise because prophecy and tapping into the prophetic
is like a radio, it has frequencies.
And Moses had to go above the dark cloud where God was to get a
different perspective or a higher perspective.
There is a realm, that if we're careful,
we as prophets can hear the secrets of God.
We can also hear the plans of the enemy.
And if we're not careful,
we can prophesy the plans of the enemy as if it's the
Spirit of God....
So God is saying we need to come up higher."
We know that if two or more agree with the Spirit of God
then it will happen.
We, as a nation, have been prophesying the plans of the enemy
instead of what God is saying about this season that we are in.
We have to be so careful with what we declare and prophesy.
The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue.
I love what a good friend of mine said to me.
He said,
"I use one filter and one filter only when I read or prophesy or
think about the Lord and my relationship with Him, is
"God is Love."
Everything I hear, every word I say.
Everything I hear, every word I say.
If something bad happens in my life I say,
"Does this declare God's love or not?
Does this declare God loves me or not?
Does this declare God loves my family or not?"
and if I can't match God's number one characteristic, that He is love,
then I need to change my belief about that situation."
-Benn James
How powerful are his words??
I love it so much because even though it challenges us to
be more intentional and aware of how we think, see and speak
into the things of this life,
it also challenges us to make God's goodness and love
to be our solid foundation from which we process
EVERYTHING!
It keeps us from speaking doom and gloom.
It keeps us from focusing on what is not.
It keeps us from allowing the obvious-about our nation or life-
to control our emotions and let fear in to
run rampant in our hearts.
It instills hope.
It births expectancy.
It keeps our hearts and minds pure.
It is us intentionally choosing to look to Him in all circumstances.
I am so full of hope for whats to come.
The Glory of the Lord is going to cover the Earth!
How exciting?!!!
We are stepping into the most amazing time to be believers
that the church has ever seen!
I leave you with this,
one of my favorite quotes,
"If it does not look good then it's not the end."
-Kris Vallotton
Lord,
I just thank you for each and every one of the readers.
I thank you for their love and support towards me on this journey of
sharing my heart and the things you reveal to me.
Lord, I thank you that you are Good and Love and Light and
You are for us and not against us.
I thank you that there is no fear found in You,
no matter what we may feel in the flesh or what the natural looks like.
Fear does not come from You.
Now I pray peace over all. I pray that each person can rest
in the plans that You have and the finished work of the cross.
I pray for our nation and this season we are in.
I pray that the people will be led by you and not by their emotions.
You go before us and nothing catches You by surprise and
I hope we can remember that in the days to come.
I love you so so much, Father,
and I set my heart upon You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
