Stand Firm, Trust

Jezebel and Atheliah are very activated against the prophetic at this time. Stand true, stand firm, see your deliverance. Joy comes this morning.

But You Can't Make Them Drink..

Reversal is at Hand

In the bible there was a plague of snakes. The Word of the Lord was to look upon a snake raised on a pole and live.

This is an example of God using an evil (an evil symbol the snake) to represent a faith deliverance. (what you were being delivered from)

God is Sovereign and can use His creation in what ever way he chooses.

But it can be confusing, when we have secular uses of similar symbolism.

The American Medical community adopted a picture of a similar "snake on the pole" as their symbol trade-mark.

It is thought to be "The rod of Asclepius" and it symbolizes the healing arts by combining the serpent, which in shedding its skin is a symbol of rebirth and fertility, with the staff, a symbol of authority befitting the god of Medicine.

God will speak in, and through what ever Jack-ass he chooses.

We are in a day when a fierce Hurricane is heading for Louisiana. On and around August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated that area.

We know the Word "Katrina" means cleansing. Since she hit, more US government corruption has been unveiled then in all of history. Katrina spoke clearly to this nation.

Gustav now follows up that same path.

Gustav means: "Royal staff": "Staff of the Goths."

I do believe this is a prophetic hurricane. It is not surprising that its path is very close to that of Katrina’s.

Now the staff in the name definition is interesting. Does this staff represents something of God coming?

In the bible the staff: A rod/staff is symbolic of rule or authority. So if this thing is of God it would mean His rule or authority blowing in.

According to the previous words the Lord has given me, posted on this blog, their is a reversal at hand. But I see it can be a two edged sword that is falling. There is judgment on America. There is also a great hope arising, through His Prophetic outpouring of this day. This is a day of a release of power and honor for the faithful.

The reversal is at hand. Embrace this word and receive the prophets reward.

Day of Reckoning

Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Isa 58:6 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

Greater accountability will be born by those who are in authority over men. The Lord has weighed the nation in the balance and it has come up wanting. We will see the power of His terrible swift sword. He is both a God of love, and He is terrible. Call on Him in repentance. His mercies are new each morning. But He will bring every evil deed into account. The righteous praise Him in all things.

Cities and nations come to a point that He will no longer hear their cries. Some governments are evil and need removed. But even in this the individual can repent. We are in a day of reckoning. Evil can no longer rule in this land. Righteousness shall prevail. We must keep hope. Therefore, do not focus on the obvious evil, look to the face of the Lord. We must have Him as our focus to undo every burden.

Psa 47:2 For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.
Psa 99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.

Preach the Word

2Ti 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2Ti 4:6 ¶ For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.


In all we do, we continue to preach the word. We do not concern ourselves if others embrace this call as we do. We look to Jesus. We do endure many afflictions, and we do fight a good fight of faith.

We endure hardships and march on until that day when we finish our course.

I have Your Back Covered

Luk 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!

The evil have deliberately tried to take your life. Yet you live. The devil has threathened you, yet you live. Your family has forsaken you, yet you live.

"I have your back covered, and your forward way planned"....God

For Fifty Righteous God Would spare Your City

"Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do.....The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know." Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the LORD. And Abraham came near and said, "Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep {it} away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from Thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are {treated} alike. Far be it from Thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?" So the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account."
Gen 18:16-26

We have come to a time when the US as a whole is judged and must suffer great loss.
But there is a chance that some cities will be spared. God was willing to spare
Sodom if there was fifty Righteous men there. Are there fifty in your city?

Disillusionment

A few years back the Lord said through Rick Joyner, that God was going to "dis-illusion" us. This was a true word.

I hope that your disillusioning has not lead you to despair. As you see the corrupt nature of the present Church system, so called Christian TV, and Evangelism, it would be easy to be in despair.

But God has revealed these things to His servants the prophets, so that they might pray and speak words that will change this.

Speak truth against all evil of our day.

Repent Unto The Kingdom

The Nation is under a curse. This for sin, and covenant breaking. Repentance unto the kingdom is the answer. This means to embrace God, His ways, and His government.
This is the salvation for this nation.

Repent Unto the Kingdom

America is in judgment. To miss the greater judgment, repentance unto the kingdom is
the way.

This message continues to be stirred within me.

Time to Begin to Build

God has ordained this time for you to begin to build. You will know who to embrace for they will know His voice and obey. They will come to you in humility. Shun the proud, for they will only bring destruction.

The Lift

Psa 3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Psa 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

God is lifting you kingdom prophet. All the shame of yesterday, will retreat at this lifting. The words of your enemy will cleave to the roof of their mouths. They cannot stand against you. The glory shall go before you. He has called you to a high place, a high walk, a place of honor. Wise men will honor you.

When the Lord does not Speak

When the Lord is not saying much, maybe its your turn to talk. Praise Him today!

Battle Won

Today, after suffering yesterday's great defeat, I found that I had won a small battle. The city I live in is taking care of a long overdue project. For this I praise the Lord.

I do not know if this will stop the judgment of God on this city. But I do know it is right that they are doing this, if it is not done through borrowing. I will not speak in warning to this city again unless it call for me. I will always praise God for His goodness everywhere and at all times.

Battle Lost

I lost a battle yesterday. One I had fought for twenty years....

Yesterday, I knew as David did, after his son had passed on, that the best use of my time would be to clean myself from the years of intercession, to eat and draw strength, and to go on to today's battle.

God has brought a judgment in three phases to my present city of residence. It seems there is nothing now to do, but walk on into tomorrow. What ever it brings, Father will be there.

The battle I have fought has separated me from many. I have no father but God, and my mother and brother are they who do my Heavenly Father's will.

My mouth is now silent. I do not speak to this battle anymore. The die is set. The battle lost, brings judgment. Men love themself. They do not honor God, but break covenants with truth.

Let God arise. Let the righteous find a new way, a new path, a new people, a new place.

Ostrazation

To break the power of bewitching in this day, a person must desire truth in the innermost parts. Almost everything on TV, in Movies and much of what is portrayed in the news is lie. We have been fed a steady stream of lie by the world.

To see beyond the illusion, to break the matrix, one must desire truth in their innermost being. When you begin to see, the truth, and speak it, you become the Matrix's enemy, and the enemy of all who hold lie as truth.

I fought to wake up a city. It loved its lies. It loves its lying delusion. So it is with this battle, there are few that see truth. The price of embracing truth may mean you do jail time, or you are ostracized. It may even mean you will die standing for truth.

Mat 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Mat 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

Mat 10:24 The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord.

There is a stigma that comes with the real cross. Real righteous people do not fit in this soceity. They always bring attack. He came to bring a sword. You wield it. The world hates you for it. They despise you.

Luk 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Jhn 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

This love is not compliance to other's evil ways. It is standing for what is best for them. Yes they hate you. It is ok. God loves you.

The Reward is in the Balance

The Lord has revealed a strategy for deliverance for the city of Marion. I hold this strategy in my heart. It concerns repentance and deliverance.

Choice is everything. This is tied to three woes I proclaimed over this city on the Reversal for the Broken City blog, which Father had me take down in judgment against the doubt of the unsanctified. Father is redemptive and desires to have men obey the word of the prophet.

The reward is in the balance.

Bewitching

Sometimes I think people must be blind to not see the things I say as being true. But I know it is not just natural blindness. It is bewitching.

We have aborted 50 million plus babies. This nation is evil. Our government is evil.

Repentance is the only way out.

I am proceeding with this blog in trembling at the word of the Lord. I never want to misrepresent Him. I had proclaimed the Lord to establish, His government in our midst. To my understanding he did not do this. The error must therefore have been mine. But I do know that I see clearly the terrible evil that holds the masses in its control. It is this evil I fight. That is why truth is so precious to me.

I hate the lies I see in my local government, and National government. I hate the lie and the spirits that hold captive people who once believed in God. But when I die, I will look a loving Jesus in the face. I do not believe the bewitched will.

The Word of the Lord and Confirmation

Jhn 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
Jhn 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Jhn 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

Take comfort, that you are counted worthy to suffer with Christ. I have seen the reaction to my word. The hate me for it. They hated Christ before me. When the world hate you, you know you have God's confirmation.

I ask Your Forgiveness

Last week I said we would see, in our fellowship, the establishment of the government of God by Tuesday the 12. This did not happen. There has only been more hopelessness as the Lord has shunned us. I proclaimed we would have a new place to meet. We do not.

I will no longer be commenting on this blog until I see proof my word is true and from God.

I ask His forgiveness and yours. I can't recommend any in the prophetic field for you to seek out. They all seem to be caught in lies that our criminal government has established over the land.

Seek God if it seem right to you.

Prayer for Understanding

Below is Chuck Pierce's view on what is happening in Georgia, and Russia. The national media has fooled most in this country as to the real story. I do believe that Russia, Georgia, The US, and Israel, are all deeply involved in this war.

I pray for church leaders, that they might know what truly is going on, and that the evil might be revealed.

One thing is for sure. The Georgia conflict will become a defining moment in world history.

Prayer Alert: The Russian Georgian Crises

The Elite are playing with the World. Putin is not good. But I know the Georgia thing is very complex.

Chuck Pierce believes the Russians are arising for a great role in the world in the next 10 years.

Chuck Pierce:

"As a result of Russia’s newfound aggression, the United States and other nations will begin to distance themselves from Russia. In fact, 2008 will be the defining year for Russia. For a season, a new favor will arise and rest upon Russia so that new alignments can be formed. The nations listed in Ezekiel (obviously with their modern-day names) will begin to align with this power from the north that is seeking a renewed role in world influence. The Cold War is over, and the thaw has occurred. Now these nations will become “hot” in the next 10 years. A new river of terror will begin to flow from the north.”"

"The Georgia conflict will become a defining moment in the future of world history. If you want to look at this from the standpoint of playing cards, Russia now holds the “trump” in the suit concerning America and Iran. Start watching very carefully for the reaction of the former Russian satellite states.

One aspect of what is happening is really against the United States. Because the United States has strengthened their influence in Georgia, Russia knows that the relationships of the US will have priority to the resources of the region. This conflict, like most others in the initial stages, is really about the control of wealth and pipelines carrying oil out of the Caspian area. Russia cannot stand the thought of oil being routed through Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan to Turkey, creating a benefit to the West and Israel."

As posted on Glory of Zion Webpage.

We need to pray concerning these things. We know that there are key nations in end times development, and Russia is one of them.

Harvest Time

Harvest is here. judgment for the wicked, justice for the just. May we be found in the later.

The Day of Our Restoration has Come!

This morning at 8:00 AM, I surprised a fox who was on my land. On seeing me, he dropped a dead rabbit from his mouth and fled. In my 55 years, at least a third of it living next to wooded area, I have never, till this day, seen a fox in my city.

Luk 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected.

We proclaim on the third day, Christ shall be perfected in us who have waited for His move and restoration. This day, and tomorrow, are days of casting out devils, healing the sick. Perfection shall come on the third day, meaning a resurrection from death.

This is Saturday the 09 of August 2008. I proclaim by Tuesday the 12th the government of God shall be established in our house of worship.

We are a small prophetic group that has awaited the Lord's opening. We proclaim that now is the Now of God. The fox flees our presence. The sly works of the enemy are exposed.

Sorry about the rabbit, but glad to see the twin towers fall. Pride and Fear are crushed under our feet by the God of Peace! No little fox shall spoil this vine! We are in abiding in Him! Know who we are Fox! We are the Lord's anointed witnesses!
We are rising from the dead to witness to our Land of the resurrection of the King and His kingdom in this land!

The smiling face of religion shall soon show its true torment. God hath overturned the kingdom of Religion in this land! I tell the sly government of the whorish church and the political leadership of this land, your day of undoing has come. You shall drop the dead corpse or your evil work, and flee.

The End of Evil will Come

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST, AND HE SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND EVER." (Revelation 11:15)

Some time in the future, this will be our reality. We are awaiting Father's deliverance for this hour and we look forward to the day of restoration of all things.

He is King of Kings And Lord of Lord's.

There is a day, when he will say enough. Life will completely obliterate death for the faithful. Till that day, He will supply His grace.

Justice and Judgment

Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

We are at a day when it is time to see the Lord's justice. This is not good news for the sinner and the ungodly.

The Father has weighed this nation in the balance and it is found wanting. The hand writing is on the wall. Seek the king. The Lord himself is the answer to all. Look to Him.

We proclaim the US government, has been found wanting, not just by the oppressed citizen, but by the Lord Himself.

Let the innocent be protected. Let the evil fall judged in his own sin.

Psa 41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

The Blessing of the Storm:

I have had two great dreams of storms, which have revealed to me the Lord’s work in revealing betrayal.

In one dream, I was in a cabin holding on to the Lord’s glory which was in a tarnished chest. There was a storm blowing so strong it was tearing the cabin apart. My past held on to me for the storm was destroying those around me in that cabin.

The second was about my family traveling in a car (my ministry)and ending up needing to get out of it, to be saved from many tornadoes. We found a safe concrete place for shelter.

Revelation:

The Lord has used the manifestation of storms both physical and spiritual, to show me that for years those around me have worked to control and limit me. The people around me were they who purported to be with me.

The Lord has revealed to me, that there are many storms that were sent to me, to reveal the lies and deception around me. As I stood in the storm, the betrayers where revealed. In fact they had caused the storms. The visionary dreams had then become fact.

I preach kingdom. It is antithetical to the political church.

Kingdom people rarely fit in a church controlled by a political spirit. Most churches form around a man who has learned to control others through manipulation, and reward for obedience. This is the political spirit at work.

A political spirit grown up, can be described as "Babylon". Political spirits joining together church to church are taken into the system called "Babylon the Great"-the haunt of every evil spirit. This is the working of the political spirit in the church and out. It is mystery religion. Even the Holy Ghost church is full of it.

Whom do you serve? What do you believe?

There is, in the church, people who have sold their soul to religion. They work to undermine true ministry by casting doubt on they who are spiritual. They may be your family. They think they work righteousness when they deter you.

Come apart and touch not the unclean thing. This does not mean not to be involved in church, but do not be involved in anything that is not kingdom. Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Spirit are the Kingdom.

If storms have come to your life, turn into them, face them, and embrace the Lord’s deliverance in your life. If He would so choose to blow others out of your life, let them go. It will be a blessing.

Remembering The Love of God

Without Jesus?



Do you know what is Just ahead?

New Way

This morning I was dropping my daughter off at the local university for sports training. I also had another errand to run as I was to drop an article off on the way back.

On the way to drop my daughter off, I went down a road, which I have traveled for over fifty years. I forgot they had closed it off as they enlarged the university. I had to go another way. When I dropped her off I went to run my errand and again I was faced with going anther way.

The Lord has been speaking about going a new direction in our lives. The old tried and true will not work in this hour. He is separating, taking away those from your life who are not walking with Him in glory. This is not a day to return the same way you have always come. Go in New. Return in New.

Amen

Mat 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Word on Covenant

“Hear the vibrations that are coming from My heart. My vibrations are causing the Book of Life,where I have written promises on your behalf, to come alive. There are words that you have yet to uncover and activate your faith for a manifestation. I have recorded what you have done, but now I will reveal what you have not done. There is coming an hour when you will begin to see, and it will begin to be revealed to you these promises that I have made! The covenants that I have planted will now grow in your heart. They will become real. They are becoming fruitful in your life. Stand strong in this hour where you are; where you have stood weak, now stand strong, because My heart is vibrating and causing strength to arise. This strength will stir the anointing and gifts in you that will break the yoke around you, from around your neck. See My covenant that I have made with you. Hear that it is good. Break agreement with words that are set against My plan and agree with Me and you will see a manifestation of My heart and goodness!”

Prayer Alert

Daniel 7:25 says, "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and the law."

There is a great attack in civil government against the truth of God. Bad law is sweeping the land. There has never been a time when intercession for the city and nation was more needed.

Men have through fear, made plans that have slowed down the move of God. God is looking for people who seek him moment by moment.

There are three words which represent realities he has spoken as a warning to us.

Man Agendas: Man agendas thwart the advancement of the kingdom.

Stipulations: Men have set up councils to require of others, things God has never given them right to rule over. This has been in church, industry, and in civil government. These laws are becoming so egregious that they have limited God's work through unbelief. These are great oppressors of the people.

Manipulations In the church many leaders have thrown away righteous leadership for witchcraft. This amounts to a manipulation of their people. Therefore since the church utilizes witchcraft, manipulation and domination has become "SOP" in civil government, and industry. This demonic presence resides because the church failed to heed the warning of it over twenty years ago now. The message refused is the message of; "Repentance unto the kingdom". Kingdom people are led, not driven.

Repentance unto the Kingdom: The Nation cannot change, until these things change. We must change our evil ways. It starts with the individual believer. Cast down any agreement with bad law, manipulation and domination that may be in your heart. Personal repentance always spreads!

Chuck Peirce on Timing:

"God is forming a perfect plan of victory. The plan has not yet had time to mature. If this plan is moved upon prematurely, God's plan of justice will be postponed. We must surround that plan in prayer NOW. It seemed to me that God's perfect time for advancement to dethrone the thrones of the enemy would be from the week before Christmas until the third week of February."

Every Good Tree..Good Fruit. Corrupt, Evil

Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Dr. Fizer

“So, tell me, what have you Found?”
(From July 13th, 2008)

"Joy is a reality that comes “as a result of discovering some significant thing that naturally produces it.” Strength is a reality that is activated “once someone discovers a Significant Thing to defend and protect!” Consistency is a reality that comes as a result of “being truly intimate with the well-being of something incredibly significant to your life.”


Have you discovered Something in your life “that produces all of these things within you?” JOY is the result of a Find, a Discovery, or an Invention. You will never have to ask God to give you “what only a discovery should and would!” A life that has not yet discovered that Thing that is greater than life itself “will find itself drowning in the seas of impossibilities, fears, doubts, and unbelief.”


But the life that encounters that Thing that is greater than itself, will have found the Treasures of Unlimited Eternity, Greatness, and Divine Life..


So, what have you found?

VIRGINIA FIRST STATE TO APOLOGIZE

VIRGINIA FIRST STATE TO APOLOGIZE
Va. first state to apologize for role in slavery
By Larry O'Dell
The Associated Press
Article Last Updated: 02/24/2007 10:53:24 PM MST


"Richmond, Va. - Meeting on the grounds of the former Confederate Capitol, the Virginia General Assembly voted unanimously Saturday to express "profound regret" for the state's role in slavery.

Sponsors of the resolution say they know of no other state that has apologized for slavery, although Missouri lawmakers are considering such a measure. The resolution does not carry the weight of law but sends an important symbolic message, supporters said.

"This session will be remembered for a lot of things, but 20 years hence I suspect one of those things will be the fact that we came together and passed this resolution," said A. Donald McEachin, a Democrat who sponsored it in the House of Delegates.

The resolution passed the House 96-0 and cleared the 40-member Senate on a unanimous voice vote. It does not require Gov. Timothy Kaine's approval.

The measure also expressed regret for "the exploitation of Native Americans."

The resolution was introduced as Virginia begins its celebration of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, where the first Africans arrived in 1619. Richmond, home to a popular boulevard lined with statues of Confederate heroes, later became a slave- trade hub.

The resolution says government-sanctioned slavery "ranks as the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our founding ideals in our nation's history, and the abolition of slavery was followed by systematic discrimination, enforced segregation, and other insidious institutions and practices toward Americans of African descent that were rooted in racism, racial bias, and racial misunderstanding."

In Virginia, black voter turnout was suppressed with a poll tax and literacy tests before those practices were struck down by federal courts, and state leaders responded to federally ordered school desegregation with a "Massive Resistance" movement in the 1950s and early '60s. Some communities created exclusive whites- only schools."

This repentance is a sign that the message of restoration is finally reaching into the government.

Bring us to Your Cross

We pray today Lord, that we all look to you for your answers. Keep us Lord from man's ways and bring us unto your Cross!

August 1, 2008

Today is the first day of August, Gregorian Calendar. "8" represents new beginnings. Praise you Lord!

In just one week we will experience: 08/08/08 Seven perfect days more!

Doubling and New Beginnings in three dimensions of life!

Praise you Lord!

Come to the Cross

We must reconcile our lives unto the cross. When we come to the cross we allow God the right to minister to every lack, every need, every failure, every sickness, every burden, every sin and its resultant bondage, and to make them righteous in Him.

We also give Him, His rightful praise for every victory, every provision, every deliverance, every healing, every hope, every good thing we have in Him.

We also yield our life to Him. At the cross the promises become living truth. You will not apprehend the promise without the cross.

Praise Him for the cross! Come to the cross daily!
