That Which Glorifies
Be sure the words you speak forth are God. Some teach the prophet should speak forth anything he feels or thinks. This is not true. Speak what God says when he says speak it.
Listen to the Spirit. He is not afraid you are going to miss your chance to speak.
Speak the Truth in love.
Be careful not to say God said something if he did not. Many have been led astray by such in the prophetic.
God give us a pure word.
If it does not glorify God, it is not Him.

Sad Day and the Third Day
I recently went to visit a ministry I was in touch with several years ago. As I drove up to their building on a Sunday morning, the parking lot was vacant and the property was deteriorating.
I prayed about it and later felt I should call the pastor of that work. He was guarded, and offended. The work had been closed two years. The pastors offense was blatant and obvious.
The closing of a once vital work is a sad story, that has been repeated far too many times across this nation. There is a devil assigned to assassinate pastors and churches, and Christian ministries. When that devil what ever type he be, gets a foot hold in the hearts of believers, only repentance will break his spell.
Also this seems to happen mostly in independent works, no matter what type of accountability structure they build. The vulnerability of an independent work with no out side over seer is great. The devil knows how to exploit it. Yet denominations always backslide. They gather around the least of qualifying truths as a common denominator.
I pray for every pastor across this nation that has a ministry that was lost or stolen. Let God arise and be your defense. Let each one examine their own heart and seek His path.
Let the day of sadness, and dearth be turned to dancing and mirth!
The true Apostolic is the answer.
In the past ten years we have seen many a foolish man who may be truly called as an Apostle, launch forward in pride and presumption in ministry. There has been a great schism caused in the body because of the works they worked, and the doctrines they have taught.
My Word from Jah:
This is a day when God is releasing the true Apostolic anointing and ministry. It will be so different than what Charismatic Churches have come to expect it will be
denied at first. Eventually it will find its place because the church is such an orderless mess, it will be necessary for acceptance of it least all the work perish.
We are coming into the third day of the Church. Let Christ's full ressurection be seen in us in this day.

Undrai Fizer
"Awakening, Becoming, and Creating..Daily!
"Refrain from being afraid of the NEW. You can only BE lead to the essence in which YOU were awakened. If the Spirit has "made YOU anew," you will naturally be led to an Experience that reflects the potency of who YOU ARE NOW! Adopt the habits "that your Dreams would have" in order for YOU to experience them soon! Dreams, Desires, and Blessings must first "see" IF they have a Future with YOU before arriving! So, BEGIN NOW! And refrain from being apprehensive of the NEW. YOU are only BEING led to YOU! Peace.."

Guilt
Guilt is not the way to truth. Love is.
Religion condemns the seeker's heart. True spirituality is not guilt ridden living. The truly spiritual are confident only in their God and His Word. The Spiritual know, trust in our flesh is foolishness.
True repentance is found in understanding the kindness of God. His Justice is not to be feared but embraced.
Garry
2Cr 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
2Cr 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Bring us to You
This is a good time to pray for the State of Indiana. This state is in need of an economic resurgence.
The spirit of Religion also has a great hold on Indiana.
Lord we ask for our State. Bring us to YOU!

Angry, Angry, Angry
By Francis Frangipane
"It's hard to remember a time when people were more angry. A civilized person ought to be, first of all, civil. Yet, today there is no discourse, no respect for another's opinion, no reasoning together for the common good. I am concerned, especially for the church.
One may argue, "Our society is decaying. We should be mad." Yes, but we can be angry yet still not sin (see Eph 4:26). Of course, I feel anger that the underpinnings of our culture are being dismantled by unprincipled men. Our souls should be vexed at the darkening cloud of demonic infestation in our culture, especially when children are caused to stumble or the weak are exploited. If we don't take a stand, the advance of evil ultimately means more people will die without Christ. So, if we are angry, it does not necessarily mean we have sinned. It can simply mean we care.
I am not surprised by the increased anger. My concern is that, unless this anger regenerates into something more redemptive, more Christlike, we will not see our world renewed. Indeed, anger that does not awaken in us redemptive action ultimately degrades into bitterness and unbelief.
A Two-Pronged Attack
While hell advances into our world on many levels, I want to discuss two primary areas. The first manifestation is brazen, widespread and alarming. For example, a corrupt law gets passed or gang violence breaks out; or it might be that a beloved public figure is scandalized. It's on the news and people are talking about it. The shock waves caused by this demonic intrusion smash against our hearts: we're disappointed, offended, stunned and, often, outraged. In this state of mind, hell launches the second area of attack. There is no newscast featuring this next stage of warfare. On this front, the devil does not come openly flaunting himself, but quietly. In seething whispers he stirs the pot of our discontent until it boils. Ultimately, where once the heart of the Christian was full of faith and love, now bitterness, hatred and malice churn in the souls of God's people.
So while we must fight the culture wars of our times, we must preserve our capacity to love if we will actually win our war. We must remember we are not fighting against "flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world" (Eph. 6:12 KJV).
Sadly, I have heard many people say recently that they've lost their vision for America. What they actually lost was not their vision, but their love. For love believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things (1 Cor. 13:7).
The Goal Of God
I will tell you how I look at this. I believe that if the Almighty's highest plan was to end evil on Earth, He could do so in a flash. Why does He wait? He desires to bring believers to Christlike maturity. In a moment evil would be gone, as it was with Sodom and Gomorrah. But we must never forget: Jesus did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
What God waits for is us. Our Christlike perfection is the harvest upon which the Father waits. He desires to bring many sons to glory, and this world, with all its evil, is the perfect setting to bring us to Christlike maturity. Here, we have real enemies that God can use to perfect our love; in this environment, we have actual foes whose persecution helps to perfect our prayer.
Yes, we should be angry about what's wrong, but we must be Christlike in making things right. We cannot just be political; we must be spiritual, like people from another realm.
Rightly there are times when we must defend the helpless among us, but concerning ourselves, let us consider again what Jesus commanded:
"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:39-45).
You see, God desires mature sons and daughters who, while fighting for their world, open the door of love into His world. To see our nation transformed, we ourselves must be transformed. Otherwise, we will risk becoming Christian hypocrites: angry that the world is not Christian but untroubled that we are not Christlike."
