The Lord kept giving me a vision
of how many times we try to reach through to Him-we pray, we fast, we read His
Word, we worship. And He said, "If only you knew how hard the enemy tries
to block you but how easy it is to come into My presence when you declare I am
Lord - because he must bow down. For greater is He that is within you than he
that is in the world."
And He said, "It's a very,
very short trip, because when you live in holiness, you're living in My
presence. For holy cries out to holy, and holiness cries out to wholeness. What
you need right now, whether it be your children, your spouse, your finances,
your health, lift it up to Me right now, for I can make all things whole. Like
the woman with the issue of blood, she pressed through, and I made her whole.
Not only did I heal them in the physical, but I also made them whole."
"The man who had the legion -
he was insane, and he couldn't even reach out, other than to recognize Me. But
he cried out with what little bit he could, and I made Him whole."
Going Beyond Circumstances
"The man who couldn't walk,
even his parents were afraid. But I go beyond circumstances. And I establish
wholeness, for I am the God of wholeness - the Alpha, the Omega. I understand
every heart, every wall that has been put up for protection because of
woundedness or simply because of just not knowing."
"Open your heart and your
hands! I want you to open your hands right now and allow Me to come in and take
down any wall, any kind of hindrance, whether it be a large wall that you've
been hitting your head against for years or a teeny, tiny picket fence-anything
that would block My presence from just devouring you to where you could be
swallowed up in the goodness of God, to where fear could not find a landing
place but faith would be the landing place."
"Faith conquers all fear.
For I would say, in whom do you believe? Don't make Me small. Understand the
King of the universe came to serve, to set free, to save and to heal, and to
bring the good news that the kingdom of God is not only around you but is within
you. Let My kingdom come forth."
"But I also made a command
to you to seek first My Kingdom, and then everything will be added unto you.
Seek it."
"And even the word seek
starts out with see, and then it ends with a k for kingdom. So, see My kingdom;
seek My kingdom; become kingdom-minded saints."
Another Kingdom - Another Spirit
"Continue to pray My kingdom
come. Continue to pray My will be done. For, yes, I brought My kingdom to earth
- for you are of another kingdom as well as of another Spirit."
"Let My Spirit lift you up
from glory to glory. Then you can look down and come to understand who you were
called to be. For I am looking for a hungry people, a trustworthy people,
overseers in My kingdom, overseers in My vineyard. Whether they have pain or
whether they have strength; whether they have fame or whether they be hidden-it
makes no difference. I look at the hearts of My own."
"For I say seek first the
kingdom of God. Let My righteousness do rightness all around you. For
understand, when those come to oppose you, lift up My right hand, My Word,
against that. For My left hand will sustain you, and My right hand will give
you the direction of counsel by My Spirit."
"For I am raising up a
people who are hungry to seek My kingdom, hungry to taste of the kingdom, and
hungry to rule in the kingdom. Understand and meditate; dwell upon My Word."
Kingdom People
"Seek My face, for when you
seek Me with your whole heart-absolutely, positively, unconditionally - you
will find Me. For you must realize I present Myself to you, for My kingdom is
among you, and My kingdom is within you. Change citizenships. Think of My
kingdom. Understand as My kingdom people."
"Demand the rights of My
kingdom, but be humble enough to understand you serve a King - the King of
kings - who came and walked among His own as a carpenter."
"I worked in the trade of
the object I would die upon. Do you not realize how many times I touched the
wood? How many times I understood what nails would do? How many times I heard
the sound of pounding? And then, as I hung on the cross, once again My identity
on earth was meshed with the kingdom of God."
"Strive to become citizens
of My kingdom, knowing My knowledge, knowing the authority I have given you in
My name. Use it with My Spirit, for He will not leave you alone, but He will
direct, lead, counsel and anoint you. For I have called you to do the works of
My kingdom," says the Lord your God."
