Binding and Loosing

Once you're a Spirit-filled Christian, you have the Holy Spirit living INSIDE of you. You have God's power to bind and loose.

Jesus says in Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth SHALL HAVE BEEN bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth SHALL HAVE BEEN loosed in heaven.

This is very similar to the Lord's prayer:

"Our Father, which is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, your will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN...."

We have what's happening in heaven under God's rule, and what's happening on earth which, after Adam and Eve's 'fall,' is now under the devil's rule.

Once you have the Holy Spirit, you have God's power. He delegates His power to you, to bind and loose. You can bind demonic spirits. You have God's power to do it.

(If you notice in witchcraft, those people will do sacrifices to the devil to get his power. They are playing with fire...)

There are only 2 sources of power - God's power which is the most and in control over all. Or the devil's power, which is lesser and was given over to him after Adam & Eve willfully disobeyed God, and some day God will throw him in the lake of fire after judgment.

People these days are seeking the supernatural. They are watching Harry Potter, and Twilight seeking supernatural gifts but they are seeking in the complete opposite area. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. He will deceive you. He will lie to you, just like he did to Adam and Eve. His lie is still the same, 'you will be like God.' No, the only way you will be like God, is if He saves you and you submit to Him, and He baptizes you in the Holy Ghost. THEN you will be delegated HIS power to do GOOD for Him.

Deuteronomy 30 says, "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your children may live..."

Your belief determines your action

This is actually more profound than it sounds at first. What you believe manifests in what you do. If you believe 'once saved, always saved,' then you won't be living the same as you would if you believed you could lose your salvation.

If you believe that we're all going to heaven except the worst of the worst like Hitler, then you will live differently.

It is not our words, it is our ACTIONS. Faith without works (actions) is dead.

If you believe what the Bible says, then you will do His commandments.

"If you abide in My word (do His commandments), then you are truly my disciples." (John 8:31"

God hates arrogance.

In Proverbs, it says, "I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech."

Proverbs 6 says one of the six things the Lord hates are 'haughty eyes.'

The Bible says, 'there but by the grace of God, there go I.'

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to go to heaven.

Whatever gifts and blessings you have, are by the grace of God. He is the one that gave them to you; you deserve no credit at all.

Just do it

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all other things shall ye then be added."

It sounds so simple, and yet it takes a lot of discipline to seek Him first. There are SO many distractions. There are so many committments.

Take time for Him - He's waiting....

Greasy Grace

My thought today is that America's denominational churches are preaching 'greasy grace.' By this I mean, that most in these churches think they can do what they want, and still get to heaven. I heard a guy on a talk show today, and he was asked if he was 'living in sin' (living together with a woman but not married.) This guy started laughing, and said, 'Hey, I love me some Jesus, and go to church.' But it wasn't the question. Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn't mean that God will grade on the curve. No, He's a strict God. And a just God. If everybody fails, then everybody doesn't pass the test. It's that simple. God deals in the black and white. If His word says it, that's your answer. What if His word doesn't cover something? Well, I know He's fair and just. For example, the Bible is clear that drunkards will not go to heaven. My co-worker seems to think that someone saying 'the prayer' would supercede this, and that person will go to heaven. But that's not what it says. AND it says the 'way is narrow.' It also says it's harder for a rich man to go to heaven than a camel go through the eye of a needle. Those are pretty slim odds.

In the Old Testament, and even in the New Testament, God is strict. The jews had the Law, and if they did not follow it, they were judged. They determined the line they could not cross, and then set up extra boundaries outside of the real one. Kind of like there is the edge of a cliff, and so you set up the line you cannot cross several feet away. So if you accidentally cross the first line, you won't die.

As Christians, we don't follow the Jewish Law anymore or obey out of fear, but we obey out of love. Somehow too many churches have allowed this to evolve into 'greasy grace,' but the Bible says, 'Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.' God hasn't changed. He's not a hippie God, just chillin' in heaven. And He's not a mean dictator waiting to smush you either. He's a Father. He loves you enough to discipline you. Because He sees the finish line.

God says what He means and means what He says. That's hard for Americans to understand these days. No one means what they say anymore. It used to be your handshake was your word. Those days are gone.

The bottom line is salvation is simple but not easy. That's why the Bible likens our lives to running a race and that we must endure. We must OBEY God. We cannot continue in sin and think we're still going to heaven.

He's a just God, and that would not be fair...

Start getting ready

My thought for today is that the entire world seems to quickly be setting up for the antiChrist. With all of the economic problems worldwide, and the entire globe now being interdependent, it's easy to see why the antiChrist will come in (see Revelations) and offer to solve the world's problems. Israel is doing practice raids today in preparation for attacks. The oil spill is still spewing massive amounts of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and the U.S.'s borders are being erased as we speak. The current U.S. administration is more amenable to the non-Christians than the Christians. And New York City just passed a proposal to build a mosque at the site of the previous Twin Towers, hit by radical Muslims....

Jesus IS coming back soon.

Confirming His message

At my Spirit-filled church on Sunday, lots of people came forward to share what the Lord has been telling to them. It's always amazing to me, that He will be telling His children the same thing. And each was saying that they hear the Lord saying to beware, and that difficulties are coming for His children. I've been hearing this from other Christians too, so I know God is getting this message out. We are not to be afraid, but to beware. I, too, have been having bad dreams lately, and this almost never happens. So have my other Christian friends. Last week's dream was very vivid, and it was clear. He was saying to not trust bad people. This may seem like common sense, but I always look for the good in people and try to trust them. I've been burned many times this way though. God was very clear, be careful...

Another word from the Lord

Yesterday, a twenty-something man stood up at church to tell us what he had heard from the Lord. We have only been at this new church for a few months, so we're still meeting people. He immediately pointed at my child with me, and said the Lord wanted her to know that He appreciates her purity and that He had heard her cries. He said a few more true comments. Only God could have told this young man these things, as we had not shared with anyone what a difficult week in school (junior high) she had had the previous week. Many of her school mates are starting to make wrong choices, and are also bullying my daughter. It was awesome to see my daughter's face, when God personally called her out, and made it so specialized to her.

Sometimes we think we're a grain of sand on a big beach, but God cares about each one of us. He's not some pie-in-the-sky, He's our Father, our Daddy...

He can be yours too...

A word from the Lord

Today during worship service, the Lord told me that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a metaphor to what is happening in the U.S. and the entire world. The oil is like sin bubbling up, in huge amounts and it is polluting quickly. It is faster than anyone thought possible. And only God can stop it. We must pray... pray that they will get the oil spill stopped and more so, pray that the sin that is quickly pervading our country and world will also be stopped. In Jesus' name, I pray.

He's with me all the time...

Just a quick post... this thought popped in my head tonight, and I felt like God was telling me something. Ten years ago, my youngest child was a toddler, and leaned over a swimming pool to get a leaf in the water. She fell in head first and went straight to the bottom of the pool. I was standing on the other side of the pool with my clothes on and dove in, grabbed her at the bottom and pulled her straight up. It just hit me tonight that she was perfectly fine when I got her to the surface. No coughing. No water in her lungs. And my contacts didn't come out of my eyes. I was in such shock with the event at the time, that it just never occurred to me, until now, that Jesus saved her. He used my arms, but He was with me, and saved her. I hadn't thought about this in years, but felt God's nudging about it tonight.
He is always with us. It's such a comforting thought to know my Father is with me every step of the way.
And it gives me peace...

Eagle vs. Vulture

The United States of America is in a spiritual battle... it became apparent to me in 2000 when the presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore hung for days and there was no clear winner. There were lawsuits. There were 'hanging chads.' And life is this country has never been the same. Then, on 9-11-01, we were attacked. Why? I've never quite understood why... but we were told the radical Islamists want to kill us because we're not the same religion...

The craziness started in anticipation of this century. We kept hearing about Y2k and that the whole world would come to a screeching halt because the computers of the 1900's didn't foresee the coming century. Huh? I remember buying a few things of water and some pinto beans but realized it would get me through a few days... People starting buying bullets and saying they would shoot their neighbor for food. Huh?

We need Jesus. We REALLY need Jesus. We can't depend on our supplies. Or our stocks. Or retirement. Most of us could lose it all in one fell swoop. Jesus said, "I will never leave you or forsake you." He promises to take care of our needs.

Don't worry. I've read the end of the Book, and we win!

Shalom

Shalom is a Jewish greeting and farewell (like Aloha) that means 'peace.' How cool that they say it coming and going. When the apostle Paul was going throughout his travels, it's what he said too. Peace.

Peace is what Jesus said He will give us. Not a worldly peace, but an inner peace, the best kind. Peace is the opposite of anxiety, the opposite of stress. When you are totally in His hands and trust that He's 'got your back.' It's an aaaaaaaah feeling. It's a content feeling. It's a feeling we can have, even in the midst of this world's turmoil, that He's still the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He's still on the throne, and knows what He's doing.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let you heart be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

"I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillippians 4:7

Alone Time with God

I've found if I just can't seem to sit down and pray, it helps to take a walk with my iPod and just let the Jesus songs play. There are some days when I'm just too ADD to sit down, and I just walk and worship. I let it sink in my soul and it lifts me.

This time of year, life is a blur, it's a whirl, like Christmas time with too many activities in too short of a time. I don't want to leave my Father, my Daddy, my Abba, out of my life.

Sometimes we just have to pray as we go.... as we drive... as we walk... in our lunch hours.... God wants to spend time with us. He loves the relationship with us. He misses us when we get too busy, and I miss Him too...

And songs can help....

because, in them, we worship Him...

and get closer to Him.

Our God is an awesome God.......

How to walk with God

First, you must come to the point in your life, that you give it all over to God. You let Him 'take the wheel.' The old fashioned way of saying it was, make Him Lord of you life. Back in Jesus' time, there were still slaves, and your Lord was the Master, the Boss, the one that was over your life. You accept the fact we all sin because we were born into it (due to Adam and Eve's sin.) We agree with God that we are sinners (and aren't perfect.) We accept His gift of dying on the cross for our sins and taking our punishment (of death) for us. And we 'repent.' That means we purpose to not sin anymore. It doesn't mean you will be sinless from now on, but you have to be trying. You keep strong by renewing your mind with His Word, the Bible. Your faith will keep growing when you hear The Word. His words are promises for His children's lives.
And then every time you come to a fork in the road, take the HIGH road. Do the right thing. Always do the right thing and let the chips fall where they will. And if you don't know if it's the right thing or not? You see what the Bible says, and follow that. If it's not answered there, seek out a Godly person. And then follow your gut feeling. If you feel a peace in your gut, it's probably right. If you feel chaos in your gut, it's probably not. God leads His children that way.
For example, God's Word says, 'Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.' You see from this that revenge is never what God wants. He WILL take care of it, and in a much better way than we ever could.
Always remember, TAKE THE HIGH ROAD!

The Dream

My father's parents divorced when he was a toddler, and I never did get to know my grandfather on his side. When I moved to a town several years ago, I found out my grandfather had retired there. I also found out he had wanted to get to know me and my siblings but my father wouldn't allow it. I had a dream of one of the three cemeteries in our town, and in the dream, saw exactly where his grave was. The next day I drove to that cemetery and had never been there before. It's a large cemetery, but I could see in my head where the grave was, so I went straight to that spot, and there it was. It's so incredible to me that God would choose to share that with me in a dream, and He knew how great that I would think that is.
His word says He knows the number of hairs on our head, and is interested in the small things as well as the big. God spoke to HIs children all through the Bible, giving them warnings and instructions in dreams. And He will to you as well.

The Golden Rule

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (Treat others like you want to be treated.)

Healing

"By the stripes of Jesus, we were healed."
"He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction."
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all."
"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses."
"No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly."
"And everything you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."
"Who forgives ALL thy iniquities, who heals ALL thy diseases."
"I will REMOVE sickness from your midst."
"They shall lay hands on the sick and they SHALL recover."
"But the law of life in Christ Jesus has set me FREE from the law of sin and death."

God's children can stand on His promises. God's Word is truth and He cannot lie.

Christ like

The most effective way to win someone to Christ is to be like Christ. You don't have to argue with someone. You don't have to quote Bible verses to them. You can just exemplify Jesus in your life. That's why His word says 'Faith without works is dead.' You can talk until the cows come home, but if you're not walking like you're talking, you're just a hypocrite -- and God's word says He will spit you out if you're lukewarm. He says to be hot or be cold but He will spit out the lukewarm. Hypocrites become a liability to God. They set people back. There are a lot of people who say they won't go to church because of the hypocrites (but where ELSE would they be??)

God wants us to be 'on fire' for Him. He has very high standards and high expectations. That's why sin is often called 'missing the mark' - God's mark - God's expectation.

The way to be LIKE Christ is to have Christ live inside of us. When you become Spirit-filled, then He comes to live inside of you, and THEN you will be like Christ. Your body will be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Only Christ can be like Christ...

David, a man after God's own heart...

David is my favorite Bible person. He was SO human... David messed up and lusted after Bathsheba. A married woman. So David, as head of the army, put her husband on the front lines, and of course he died. But he was genuinely sorry, and all through Psalms we can feel David's pain as he cries out to God. He confessed (agreed that it was wrong) and repented (purposed to not do it again) and God did forgive him.

David danced before the Lord 'with all his might' as he brought the Ark of the Covenant (God's actual presence in the Old Testament) into the City of David, so much so, that his Michal (the daughter of Saul) saw him and 'despised him in her heart.' It says, that Michal then 'had no child to the day of her death.' (11 Samuel 6) God's vengeance is always so much worse than man's...

David is also the only person in the Bible that God said is a man after His own heart... Imagine that. A man that murdered is one of God's favorites. Remember God looks at the heart. He saw David's great love for Him, and loved him for that...

Kill the Television

May I suggest that you turn off the TV. And the radio. And the internet. And the stereo. And your iPod. And your video games. And all electronic distractions. And just listen... Just let their be quiet around you. Time to think. Time to reflect. Time to plan. Time to pray.

Praying is just talking to God. He IS right next to you. He's not some pie in the sky who doesn't have time for you. He's next to you. Waiting to hear from you. And you can hear Him, if you listen. And stop all your distractions.

"If you seek Him, you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart."

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." (Luke 11)

God doesn't force Himself on you. He's a gentleman. He waits for you.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will dine with him, and he with Me." (Rev. 3)

He's there; just listen...

Don't worry about anything...

We are living in perilous times.... and it's very hard to not worry if you keep up with the news. Every day it's something new and huge. And it's not just in the United States, it's all over the world. Natural disasters happen so often that we aren't even surprised anymore.

Just this year, there have been several earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami's and a 1,000 year flood. Financial collapses loom... and the rioting in Greece may be just the beginning.

The world's answer? Eat, drink and be merry. And take anti-depressants, which are at an all-time high. You have a choice on how to deal with these kinds of worries. You can either use a crutch, (and there are lots of them) like smoking, drinking, drugs, overworking, exercising, electronics, to name a few. Or you can lean on your Father, your best friend, your creator... God.

His word says not to worry about anything, but pray about everything. It also says, perfect love casts out all fear. And, God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. He promises to never leave us or forsake us. And, throughout Psalms, there are so many verses of His children being able to call upon Him, and He will be there. He promises to take care of our needs. "For my God shall supply ALL your needs, according to His riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus."

We don't have to worry. We're in His hands. He's still on the throne.

The more you know God, the more you will trust Him. It's just like with people. When you meet someone, you don't usually trust them, especially not with the big things. But the longer you know them, the more you trust them. And so it is with God.

Some day each of us will die. If you have a relationship with Jesus, you won't have fear that He will not do what He said He will do. He said, "I go to prepare a place for you. In my Father's house there are many mansions."

Get to know Him and He will have one waiting for you too.

A Mother's Love

"Children are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward." - Psalms 127:3

A mother's love is unconditional - it is unselfish - it is the most like God's love on this earth.
In God's Word, having children was a huge blessing and being barren was shameful. As a matter of fact, barrenness was even a punishment once when a woman was disobedient.

Life has always been precious to Christians. Throughout the Bible, children are always mentioned as such an extreme blessing. In contrast however, many heathen groups performed child sacrifices. For example, during Jonah's time, the people of Ninevah were very wicked and sacrificed their children, and consequently Jonah disobeyed God (and got swallowed by the fish) because he refused (at first) to go and tell the Ninevites to repent.

Christian mothers have a deep love given to them by God for their children.

If you want to be a better mother (or father) then ask Jesus into your heart and He will help you...

The Good Wife

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax,
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night,
And gives food to her household,
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength,
and makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor;
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying;
'Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.'
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31

No evil will befall you,
nor will any plague come near your dwelling.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
to guard you in all your ways.
Psalms 91:10-11

National Day of Prayer

2 Chronicles 7:14

"and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and HEAL their land."

God is talking about HIS people. HIS people must do these things....

Today the stock market almost did what it did in 1929... the market was reacting to Greece and China's financial problems. This planet is now global. We are all inter-dependent.

May Christians do what God says we must do.

May God have mercy on us....

Word

A wise man once said, 'if you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a chance at being a prophet.' Words are powerful. God spoke the world into existence. God's words in His Word are powerful and they are truth. Christians can claim them, because they are heirs. Have you ever wondered why curse words are so bad? Have you ever thought, they're just words? Well, with God, you can bless someone and bring goodness from God or you can curse someone and bring badness on them from the devil. Because words mean something. And they signal things in the spiritual world. You can believe the Bible literally that God SPOKE the world into existence.

When you get filled with the Holy Spirit, you can cast out demons in Jesus' name. Your words are backed up by the Creator of the Universe, God Himself, the great I AM. His children can stand on God's words because they are truth and He cannot lie. The Bible says our tongue can send us to hell. That's how strong our words are...

Abide

"For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him;
If we deny Him, He will also deny us;
If we are faithless, He remains faithful;
for He cannot deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:11-13

When His word says, "if we died with Him," it is talking about dying to ourself. Remember, "the old things passed away, behold new things have come." We live with Jesus by walking with Him. We confess our sins (agree with God that things we have done are wrong) and we repent (we decide we are not only going to confess, but also stop doing this wrong thing.) We follow His commands in His word. And we let the Holy Spirit do it for us. This is walking with Him. We 'abide' in Him. We follow His commandments and pray and read His word. And if we mess up, we confess and repent again. We 'walk' with Him.
And His word mentions 'enduring' a lot. It is to keep walking even when it's really hard and we want to throw in the towel and just give in and stop trying. But God will give us the strength. And He will never leave us or forsake us.

Flesh vs. Spirit

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:

immorality

impurity

sensuality

idolatry

sorcery

enmities

strife

jealousy

outbursts of anger

disputes

dissensions

factions

envyings

drunkeness

carousings

and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things

shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is

love

joy

peace

patience

kindness

goodness

faithfulness

gentleness

self-control

against such things there is no law.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

We are born into the flesh. Only God can give us the Holy Spirit to have those fruits.

Ask Jesus in, and He will give them to you....

Women

Just read that in Iran, women with suntans will be arrested for violating Islamic law. In their religion, women are treated very differently than they are in the West. They also must wear burkas and cover their bodies, and often their faces.

Jesus was revolutionary for His time. He spoke to the Samaritan woman, He kept the prostitute from being stoned, and let Mary and Martha come in be in the men's group, and after He was crucified and rose, He appeared to a woman first.

In 1 Corinthians 11:11, Paul says, "However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God."

In Ephesians 5, Paul says, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.

So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church.

In our day we are used to hearing these verses, but these were unheard of during that day.

1 Timothy says, " Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households."

With Jesus, He gives you free will. You decide if you want to follow Him.

Other religions preach to kill the infidel.

With Jesus, He gave freedom to women.

Other religions, not so much...

Kim Clement:

A Knee will Bow "in the House Called WHITE"

Prophesied on April 16, 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee:

America, I Am Not Going to Judge You—I Am Going to Chastise

Listen to the word of the Lord tonight. "There is great darkness that is emerging from the top office in the land. There is darkness that is emerging from a place that they call White, but did I not promise you, great light would come from darkness? Did I not promise you that even in the midst of darkness great light shall shine on this nation and the nations of the earth? Your enemy shall melt as wax before the fire."

The Spirit of God says, "Do not forget the promises that I have made throughout the earth; do not forget the promises that I made to your children. Do not forget that I said I would send signs—the earth is shaken all around you. It has shaken in nations around you. And they have prayed for America to be shaken in the earth and that judgment may be their answer. But," God says, "America, I am not going to judge you. I am going to chastise. Do not despise chastisement of the Lord. For the earthquake that has come shall release energy from a place that has been held deep in the earth.

"Why do you think that there are now eruptions? And from space they are coming to slam into the earth, and none of My people shall be harmed," says the Lord. "This shall be known as a miracle. This shall be known as a sign and a wonder. What shall happen is that the energy source that has been held deep within the earth for millions and millions of years, was being held for such a time as this. Do you realize," says the Lord, "That you are living in a time that was spoken of by the generals of yesterday?"

God says, "You have come to a place where I will unlock a key, where you will be free from your debt to the Middle East, you'll be free from your debt to China. You will be free from your debt," says the Lord. "And let them laugh and say this will never happen—just watch Me now. As I take that thing, that which has been for harm, shall be for your good," says the Lord.

"In the Summer Months You Will Look and Say, 'It is Rebounding! Things are Coming Back!"

The Spirit of the Lord says, "Hear the Prophet tonight as he prophesies what I tell you. Many desire to humiliate you, in front of nations that endeavor to humiliate you, and bring you to nothing. Watch how I deal with the crime. Watch how I deal with what has been taken and presented to Me on a silver platter. What am I looking at? What is on this plate that you bring to Me? False images? What is on this religious plate, that you bring to Me?" says the Lord. "There is nothing but false incense. Yet there is an aroma coming from children. There is a fragrance of praise that is coming from the teenagers.

"There is a fragrance of praise that is coming from the hearts of the children." And God says, "I have thrown a mantle upon them and I have given to them a double portion, and America, your best day is upon you. I will bring the betrayal out. And in the summer months you will look and say, 'It is rebounding, it is rebounding! Things are coming back, things are coming back.'" For God says, "I am taking you out of a dark place and shedding My light," says the Lord.

"There is no fear in the perfect love of God. Look as I point to the fire. And they will say the fire has been pointed to. And I will take men who have been astute and prudent in their dealings with finances. And I will make them billionaires, millionaires and extremely influential and wealthy—and DO NOT say that it is not the desire of the Lord. I called Abraham out of the Ur of Chaldees, and his obedience made him the most influential and powerful and wealthy man on the face of the earth, proving to mankind that God is not restricted by a man's age. And there shall be an extension of age as Alzheimer's comes to an end in this decade," says the Lord.

"There will be an extension of age as Alzheimer's comes to an end in this decade, and there will be an end to the humiliation of children, as I bring Autism to an end in this decade," says the Lord. "Look to the fire point, it is pointing to the fire. It shall be an investment that you shall capture and make the money to make you debt free," says the Lord of Hosts tonight.

This Nation Will Once Again Shine 
Through the Nations of the Earth

"There has been a visitation to this nation and to the nations that have stood together. The betrayal will only bring out the will of God. Russia shall freeze in her steps as she attempts to come and lure and seduce the President and the Vice President. Israel shall no longer be spurned. I will not allow it. I am about to cause a knee to bow in the house they call White, and surely this shall happen, for great pressure shall come as suddenly there are wars that begin to emerge. 'Give us Israel, give us that piece of land! America, you are in our way. You're in our way.'"

For God says, "Shall I wrap them around My finger and make an open show of them? America, you will dispossess again enemies. But first we will deal with the hand that is on the table. Attempting something that America has never attempted before. The temptation is so great, but yet," God says, "a new party shall emerge in this angry, wrath-infested political climate. A new party shall emerge and they shall say, 'Is it as a result of tea?' And yes, it is!" For the Spirit of God says, "Enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough, enough is enough!

"This nation, that has literally brought bread to the nations of the earth... This nation, that has sent My Word to the most remote parts of the world and lost their lives because of it... I will not forget," says the Spirit of the Lord. "I will not forget." The Lord says, "Do not say to Me that 'We cannot associate the past. It must be disfigured and disconnected.' You cannot dispose of the past, for it is connected to your destiny. A nation shall look in horror and say, 'Was it possible that because of a few tea parties, that something as powerful as this will emerge?'"

"And when I say 'with horror,' they will say, 'Is it possible for something like this to happen so quickly?'" God said, "This tea party that shall arise shall have the words of My commandments and shall have the truths that were given to your forefathers, and they shall bring it and say, 'This shall never be lost.'" And God says, "Even your supreme court shall be shaken. Five years from now, one death, another death, and there shall be fear that shall grip the nation. I will save you from the despair of assassination. I will give to you the honor of seeing how a man can humble himself. 'A man of an African nation,' they shall say, 'this is confusing us.'

"Democrats shall shake their heads, scratch their heads, and Republicans alike. They shall say, 'This is ridiculous, where are we?' Out of this shall emerge a party, and truly," the Lord says, "I will breathe upon it! And I will bring forth a President that shall stand with righteousness and speak into the schools and visit the Universities." And the Lord says, "This nation will once again shine through the nations of the earth." And God said, "Though you be despised, and though they bring wars against you, you will never be defeated again!"

Prayer Strategy from Head Intercessor Lisa AJ CookeDoyle: Pray for Divine Protection for Our Nation

I just wanted to bring a few comments and also confirmation to part of Kim Clement's word in reference to betrayal in the White House. In August of 2008 during the election, the Lord revealed to me that Obama would win the election and that there would be betrayal in the White House during his Presidency. Since then I have logged hundreds of hours of watchful prayer and intercession to bring "Exposure" to any plans set into motion to harm President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and the rest of those that serve within the White House, within the Pentagon (our military), other governing positions within this Nation, those that are helping to govern the financial areas of this Nation and also within the ranks of this Nation's allies.

I have also been asking the Lord to bring Divine Protection and Divine Intervention into the lives of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and everyone else within the White House, within the Pentagon and within the military whether abroad or stateside, and for anyone else serving in positions that help to protect and govern this Nation and within the ranks of our allies to expose, to protect and supersede anything sent into motion that would cause them any harm, alter Heaven's plans for them or this Nation; and then cause all things to work for GOOD for them individually, for their families and loved ones and also into every area they represent and for this Nation.

And then my prayers have been to bring the "Heart of the Father" more fully into the White House, the Pentagon (our military), and into every area, position, person that is leading, protecting or helping to govern this Nation at National, State, Local levels, within the financial arenas, the media and also within the ranks of our allies.

And I want to make mention that regardless of what our party affiliations are we are all called to "PRAY" and "INTERCEDE" for those whom are elected and or appointed that are leading and governing this Nation whether that is National, State or Local positions within this country or abroad. And finally this is still "One Nation Under God" and we should all be praying for our President and for all our leaders for God's wisdom and His grace to govern, for Exposure to the plots and plans of our enemies and Divine Intervention to stop them, for Divine Protection within this Nation and abroad, and that the Heart of the Father and His Love would rule and reign within the White House, within this Nation, and within the hearts of all our friends and allies. 
 
I wrote this to confirm what Kim Clement is saying because confirmation is always important within the prophetic, although Kim can stand on his own, and to give you a course of prayer strategy in your own prayer time, as I have been praying since August of 2008.

Much Love and Blessing to each of you,

Lisa AJ Co
