"Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit
says the LORD of hosts. 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of
'Grace, grace to it!'"
Zechariah 4:6-7
____________________________________________________________

Ambassadors for Christ,

We are not only witnesses to others of the power of the resurrection in our lives, but we are called out to work with God in the secret place of prayer. In a multitude of circumstances, your prayers have removed blocks and hindrances so that God could move.

When we move to Heaven, we will know more about what was accomplished through our prayers.

Don’t ever allow that deceiver to tell you that your prayers aren’t doing anything. The screaming news media rarely knows or credits God as the reason behind miraculous interventions. They don’t have eyes to see. That’s why we are assigned to pray for the lost who are blind. Read 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Our God is the Almighty One who is sovereign and just. Yet, He has decided to require His people to work with Him in prayer so that “His will be can be done on earth as it is done in Heaven.”

“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Mark 11:17

THE CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING
“…I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19

THE CHURCH HAS THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM
The gates of hell CANNOT prevail against The Church.

Who is The Church? It is a living, moving, massive amount of born again people who are one in Jesus. It is you and it is me. See Jesus’ prayer in John 17.

God’s church on the earth for the past two thousand years has, at different times, almost come to a halt in its mission to preach the gospel and make disciples. Do you suppose as previous generations were born they forgot they were given keys that were to be used against those gates of evil?

Nevertheless, The Church is still here, Praise God, and stronger than ever with hundreds of millions of Spirit-filled Christians in every nation, who are fervent to bring in the world’s harvest.

What do you think would keep God’s people from using the keys? Ignorance of what we have been given and how to use the keys effectively would keep God's children from using their authority.

Just like your right hand and your left hand work together to accomplish so much, the keys of Heaven and prayer work together in the unseen realm to change things of the natural realm.

Let’s look at what these keys are:

They come by revelation.
They operate by faith through love.
These keys prevail against the gates of hell.
When you need access, keys will open every door.
These keys dominate over evil.
They are to bind and they are to loose.
It is not up to Jesus to use these keys. They have been given to The Church. That means you and I have the responsibility to use them.
The world has no knowledge of these keys because Jesus did not give them to the world.

Where are these keys from? Heaven! The supernatural always and in every way has the power to dominate and change circumstances of earth. But they are ineffective without faith working through love.

POWER
“And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are My people.’” Isaiah 51:16

Power keys come forth through The Glorious Church on earth to do work in the spiritual realm.

They loose heaven’s ways upon earth.
They can control anything.
They put us in authority over the natural system.
These keys only work in conjunction with the Holy Spirit.

“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.”
John 3:27

“But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

How do we activate power from Heaven?

Put the Word of God first place in your life.
Be led by the Holy Spirit ... in prayer also.
Be mindful that the power is already resident within us! That power is God: the Holy Spirit.

Your Mouth ... Your Words
Activation of power keys comes by revelation knowledge, action and continual practice! (We will assume that you are a doer of God’s Word and walking in love and holiness.)

The power is locked up in God’s word for a reason.
But when faith in God’s word is deposited in the heart, that which we speak has dominion to bind and loose and change things. After all, that is the same process that led to your Kingdom birth! With the heart one believes, and with the mouth confession was made unto salvation! Romans 10:10

“…He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit…” John 7:38-39

“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23

When we believe (faith) that our words are accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, they become the sword of the Spirit. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing…” See Hebrews 4:12.

This brings us back to God’s armor and His power weapon: the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful...” This sword will lie dormant until it is spoken by unction and command. See Ephesians 6 17-18.

What these keys produce:

God’s Presence
God’s Power
God’s Authority
God’s Dominion

And they loose God’s blessing:
His original intent for man’s authority over earth and His abundant goodness and love for all of His creation. See Genesis 1:26-28.

When we use the keys of Heaven correctly they produce manifestation, anointing, and demonstration. God receives glory!

Operation and access to the keys and the power they produce flow through the vine, who is Jesus. When we abide in Him and His word abides in us we can ask whatever we desire and it shall be done for us.

He controls the magnitude of this power. He said: “Without Me you can do nothing.” But with Jesus, all things are possible! See John 15:1-12.

Life Application

Are you praying from your seat in Christ Jesus? Ephesians 2:6-10
Are your personal needs being met? Matthew 6:33
What are you binding and loosing over your cities and counties?
Are you praying in the Spirit? Remember, it strengthens you. Jude 20

God never gives you an assignment without providing the provision to succeed, and to overcome all the works of the devil. That’s why you have those keys!

Walk by faith, live in love, pursue your destiny keeping your eyes on Jesus the Author and Finisher of your faith.
And remember, today could be the day of His return!

"For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."
Mark 11:23
Don't climb the mountain ... speak to it!

Holy Brethren,
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

EASTER SUNDAY
Let’s celebrate the power of the resurrection not just one day a year but every day of our lives. Father wants His children to experience the exceeding greatness of this power so that The Church can expand in His fullness. Read often the prayer of Ephesians 1:16-23

“So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God.’” Mark 11:22

Hearing, Believing, & Doing God’s Written Word
Most of God’s instruction and direction will be during our times of reading and studying the Word of God, privately or by hearing our ministers. Sometimes we hear His voice speak to us in our heart. That voice must always be in perfect agreement with the written Word of God. They never, ever disagree. Why? Because God’s written Word is God’s will.

Faith begins where the will of God is known.

Faith comes during those times when we are hearing (receiving Kingdom knowledge) not only with our physical ears, but also hearing and receiving in our spirit.

Inner hearing is amplified to those who “hear with the intent to obey.” This is why some seem to be “just blessed with more faith,” but the truth is God wants every one of His children functioning in the full capacity of His promises. This pleases Father greatly for He loves to reward His children! Hebrews 11:6

Faith is the connector between God and man.

“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:25

Grasshopper Mentality: The Wickedness of Unbelief
Even though we are born from above, we can fall into the same trap of being deceived by lies, just like the ten leaders who led 2-3 million children of Israel down the road of unbelief, cancelled dreams and cancelled destinies. This does NOT please our good Father!

The influence of unbelief that operates in the world around us today is on the increase. Sin is blatantly arrogant, not regarding the righteousness of our Father’s ways. Jesus said we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Let us be bold and confident examples of purity and light!

Twelve Spies: Faith vs. Unbelief
“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.

“But the men who had gone up with him said, ‘We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.’ And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, ‘The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.’”

“So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night.”
Numbers 13:30-14:1

Of course they cried all night. They believed a lie. All hope and excitement for a new life was stolen from them. God was removed from the vision. What was left?

Hopelessness will always lead its victim back to Egypt…back to the ways of man trying to supply his own needs apart from God. It is a place of darkness, despair, depression and loneliness.

Possessing the Land by Faith
What would have happened if the children of Israel had chosen to believe the faith statements of Caleb and Joshua? They would have gone from slavery to landowners in just a few short weeks. Really?
What about all those people, fortified cities that were so large, and those mighty giants, the descendants of Anak?

Let’s jump ahead 40 years for the answer.
This time, new leader Joshua sends out only two spies. Hear what Rahab the harlot said:

“I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.

"For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

"And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.” Joshua 2:9-11

I Told You So!
Like Joshua and Caleb said 40 years before:
"The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey.'

"Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them." Numbers 14:7-9

“Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: 'Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness…'” Hebrews 3:7-8

“So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'"

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:12-13

“So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.”
Hebrews 3:19 & 4:1

What is the word of the Lord to His Church in our day?

"Have faith in God!"

Nothing takes the place of speaking to your mountain!

Reading and studying God’s word is required, praying in the spirit is necessary, but nothing takes the place of speaking directly to that which opposes you.

And if you are an active prayer, your enemy will try to oppose and distract you but greater is the power of the resurrection that resides in you, than he who is in the world.
And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith!
__________________________________________________________________________

Requirements for Successful Intercessors: Read Mark 11:22-26.

Have faith in God.
Saying: Speak directly to the opposition …. your mountain needs to hear your voice.
Praying: Ask—believing you receive and you will have.
Did you believe you received when you prayed?
Forgiving: 470 times a day if necessary.

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law,
having become a curse for us
(for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'),
that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles
in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Galatians 3:13-14
__________________________________________________________

Dear Saints Who Pray,
"To you," He replied, ‘has been entrusted the secret truth concerning the Kingdom of God; but to those others outside your number all this is spoken in figurative language …’” Mark 4:11 WNT

DISCERNING THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ... Read Mark 4: 13-32
Prayer with Purpose Bible Studies are designed to edify, strengthen, exhort and reveal knowledge so that you and I will be strengthened with might in our inner man.

The truth that you know will make you free. John 8:31-32

That freedom will increase your ability to pray with authority as you hear and obey the Holy Spirit, for it is He that we follow in effective prayer.

This is where faith manifests to cancel out the impossible and replace it with the perfect will of God written in the scriptures. Those promises are designed to be taken off the pages of the Bible and be transferred into the heart of a Believer where, by faith, they will bear fruit, some even a hundredfold. Mark 4:20

Knowledge of this Kingdom process is especially important to people who are praying for their cities and counties to be restored. See Isaiah 61:4.

Let’s look at God’s Word today and how we can be more effective in our assignment to pray.

KINGDOM STRATEGY:
Run toward your enemy--But pray first!
Don’t you love the account of David and Goliath?

Can a bag of five stones and a sling really defeat the Philistine army and its leader? Only with God, for nothing is impossible with Him and the might of His Kingdom! Saints, if you can see it, it’s subject to change. See 2 Corinthians 4:18.

And our calling is to lay the track for His kingdom to come, and His will to be done on earth as it is done in Heaven. That starts with prayer.

We can tell from the Book of Psalms that David had a life of continual prayer. I believe David had the plan of victory before he went out against Goliath, his nation’s enemy.

We, who work in the Spirit, should always begin in submission to the LORD, seeking His will, not just what we think. This way we receive God’s plan of victory to change things in the natural. We are to cooperate with the Creator who knows all things.

Praying in tongues is very effective in opening us up to hear His Spirit more clearly.

And David said, “Is there not a cause?” 1 Samuel 17:29

“So the Philistine said to David, ‘Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?’ And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, ‘Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!’

“Then David said to the Philistine,
‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’S, and He will give you into our hands.’

“So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

"So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.” 1 Samuel 17:43-51

KINGDOM STRATEGY:
Faith and Calling things that be not as though they are.

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, ‘I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.’

"Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: ‘As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.’” Genesis 17:1-5

This passage of our history as a believer is vital to our walking in the Spirit by faith. Why? Because we, The Glorious Church, were conceived right here in the Spirit as Abraham believed God and “so it was accounted to him as the righteousness of faith.” If you are a born again Christian you are the seed of Abraham, of which we are many, living in different nations.

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, know you therefore that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.” Galatians 3:6-7

The Process of Faith:
Hearing from God and acting on what He said.
“Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham,

"who is the father of us all (as it is written, ‘I have made you a father of many nations’) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

Faith Steps:

“… who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, ‘So shall your descendants be.’
“And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
“… and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
“And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’

“Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us.
It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.” Romans 4:16-25

KINGDOM STRATEGY:
God: Declaring the end at the beginning. Isaiah 46:10

Saints, when you stop and take notice, our Bible is full of Father declaring the end at the beginning. He looks beyond the limitations and imperfections of this world.
Jesus’ ministry on earth demonstrated this continually.

“As you have believed, so let it be done.” Read Matthew 8:5-13.
You were chosen as God’s child before the foundation of the world! See Ephesians 1:4.
“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

KINGDOM STRATEGIES RECAP:

Run Toward Your Enemy—But Pray First
The Faith Process
Calling Things that be not as Though They Are
Declare Your End at the Beginning

______________________________________________________________________________________

Suggested Assignments for Holy Week:
Read 1 Samuel 17 and write down the steps to David’s victory over Goliath.
How can this be applied to your prayer life?

Since we are celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ this week, let’s fast a meal or more for the lost in our cities and counties:

That they would be hungry for the LORD
That they would hear and understand the gospel message of salvation
That they pray the prayer of faith Read Romans 10:6-18.

Pray for the Pastors in your state to have the fire of God in their bones and a two-edged sword coming out of their mouths as they minister God's Word in their Church services.

May you be strengthened with might in your inner man to fulfill your assignments with joy!

"After two days He will revive us;
on the third day He will raise us up,
that we may live in His sight.
Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth."
Hosea 6: 2-3
____________________________________________________________________________

Holy Brethren,
God, the Father of glory, loves you.

There are many ways to know this. He is upholding all things in your life, by the word of His power. See Hebrews 1:3.

Just think, this entire planet is held up by His word. All provision for your natural and spiritual life was made complete before you were born here. This is why Jesus said not to worry about your life. Matthew 6:25-34

Even all your works and your assignment as an Ambassador “were prepared beforehand that you should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10. Praise God, nothing can ever separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 8:39

Another way to know that Father loves you is that He corrects you. In fact, if you find you are never corrected, you may not belong to Him at all. Hebrews 12:8

EAT YOUR SPINACH
“Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:9-11

The Church of our generation is making herself ready by yielding to submission and being cleansed by the washing of the water of the word. Ephesians 5:26-27. That is why there is great emphasis from our ministers to put God’s word first place in our lives and be doers of what it says. Each member who submits his will to the Word is being scrubbed clean in God’s washing machine!

Those who are not yielded to obey correction will experience tough times of unrest, being tossed to and fro. Some will reap corruption and even death.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8

Actually, a born from above believer, not sowing to the Spirit, is living with one foot in the world, which in these end days is very dangerous and opens himself up to deceiving seducing spirits. 1 Timothy 4:11

Possess Your Soul – Luke 21:19
The carnal nature must not conceal or limit the Glory.

As each individual takes upon himself the yoke of the LORD, (Matthew 11:29-30) it has a significant effect on the entire Church. When you and I obey, it brings a supply to make us all go higher.

Why all the preparation?
Two reasons:

“… but truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD —” Numbers 14:21

Reason Number One for the Preparation: The Glory is coming!
The Glorious Church is making herself ready to shine with His glory, His Presence, His anointing.

Just like we might clean out a cluttered closet to make room for new things, so our hearts are being prepared for the increase of God’s glory. Praise God! The glory within us will light the way to draw in the multitudes of lost souls out of the nations.

“Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

“Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.” Isaiah 60:1-5

“Sing, O barren,
You who have not borne …

“Enlarge the place of your tent,
And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your stakes.
For you shall expand to the right and to the left,
And your descendants will inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.” Isaiah 54:1-3

Reason Number Two: We are being prepared to meet the LORD in the air.

“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

“Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

Reasons for Preparation and Correction:

For the Glory within us to expand and shine forth to bring in the lost.
To make ourselves ready to meet the LORD in the air.

"Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the LORD …" Heb. 12:14

Could that scripture also refer to not being prepared to meet Jesus in the air?
________________________________________________________________

Jesus said, "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened:

“… to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Selah)

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” Matthew 25: 1-4 & 13

“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:44
_________________________________________________________________________________________

CLOSING SCRIPTURE
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love covers a multitude of sins.’ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:7-11

"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah 40:12
_______________________________________________________

Dear Saints of the Most High God,
The past three lessons have focused on the proper ways of taking Holy Communion.

These lessons are also filled with God’s instruction and correction on how to live and walk in the spirit of love and holiness. If you missed these teachings, please take some time to go back and study them. Just scroll down.

April 2014
As time is moving us forward at a quickened pace, The Church is getting closer to the time of the return of the Lord, when we will meet Him in the air.

We will walk in the higher ways of His righteousness and power now, for His Spirit is at work in each of us cleansing, refining, and purifying those inadequacies of the spirit that have held us back.

It is the Spirit of God who is at work to remove every spot and wrinkle and blemish from each member of The Church, but He is limited because He requires our cooperation. Our part is to hear and obey. Saints, when you grow up, I grow up and vice versa because we are members of one body.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD
“But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.” Daniel 7:18

I’m sure you sense in your spirit that things are changing. Changes are about to accelerate even more as the Lord will do a quick work at the end.

MOVEMENT
It’s our time to advance and possess the Kingdom of God, just as there came a day when God told Joshua to lead the children of Israel out of the wilderness and possess the land of Canaan.

“Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, ‘The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.’” Luke 17:20-21

The Kingdom of God resides in The Church!

THE MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH
“Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

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

“For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” Ephesians 5:24-33

Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her
Christ desires to sanctify and cleanse His church
Christ cleanses the church with the washing of water by the word
Christ desires to present the church to Himself
Christ’s glorious church does not have spot or wrinkle, or any such thing
Christ’s glorious church is holy and without blemish
Christ loves the church
The church is His body, of His flesh and of His bones
Christ and the church is a great mystery

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27

Who is God revealing this mystery to?

To you and to me, His body: The Church!
We have much more to learn about who we are in Christ.
Just think of a few scriptures that describe our identity and the realm of the spirit:

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…”
Galatians 3:20

“… just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world…” Ephesians 1:4

“ … and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus …” Ephesians 2:6

How do we process such divine statements of the Spirit?

THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Revealer--John 16:12-15
Spiritual matters require us to receive revelation knowledge of God’s Word so that it can be planted in our spirit man. As we meditate and speak the scriptures of who we are in Him, the process of renewing the mind takes up full residency within us.This is how the Kingdom of God manifests in the earth.

The Church of this generation is on assignment from Heaven to continue to press into the glory and attain the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14.

As we become The Glorious Church for our King, the brightness of that glory will draw in the nations. Read Isaiah 60:1-3.

“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:17

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.  You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”
James 5:7-8

CLOSING COMMENTS
As we learn more fully about how to be led by the Spirit, I believe we’ll be pleasantly surprised at what the Lord will do through each of us. It’s time for you to lay hands on the blind and see them recover.

This is an amazing time to serve the Lord, Saints. Fear not! God is with us!

Signs of the Times
Nasa scientists have predicted the coming of four “blood moons” in a row. What’s different about these blood moons is that they each will occur on a Jewish Feast Day: Passover and Rosh Hashanah. We are set to see the first of these signs during Passover this year—April, 2014.

Have you heard John Hagee’s excellent teaching on the Blood Moons? If not, his two session teaching from Cornerstone Church is on YouTube.

Also, Sister Billye Brim has just completed an outstanding teaching on The End Times at Kenneth Copeland’s Eagle Mountain Church. There are four teachings: two sessions on 3/30/14 and two sessions on 3/31/14. They are on the EMIC website archives so you can watch. Just click on media:

“Then He spoke to them a parable: ‘Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.’

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’” Read Luke 21:25-36
