By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel...

God takes me to Israel...

Many of you know I went to Israel for Feast of Tabernacles last year and how it all came about. I was leaving for work May 1, 2013 and the Holy Spirit said, By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel. Israel was nowhere on my radar for 2013. I didn't have the funds available for a trip that would be costly. I didn't know one or any group that I could go with, so I said, I'm down, but You will have to make it happen because I can't. Later that same day, the Lord told me to go to a Christian bookstore a few blocks from where I live. I met a man there named Robert Price, who called me by my name. He reminded me we met three months prior at a LaVonne Chandler Men's Conference in Moss Hill, Texas. He said the Lord told him to go to the bookstore and to wait for someone He was bringing there He wanted him to speak to for Him. I told the brother the Lord told me to go to the bookstore too, but didn't say why. He said I was the one he was supposed to talk to for the Lord. In short, he said he got a call from a friend earlier that morning named Janice Sturkie. She told him the Lord had just instructed her to go to Israel for the Feast of Tabernacles in September, and she was to take a group with her. He said, Samuel, I believe the Lord brought you here to tell you that you are to go with this group to Israel this year. He asked if it sounded like God to me. He asked, Do you have a witness with this? I said, Do I? Just twelve hours ago, the Lord told me He was going to take me to Israel this year! I said I could already imagine how it all went down earlier that morning. The Lord looking down at Janice and saying, Go to Israel for Sukkot and take a small group with you. Then He looks to me and says, By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel son. So the Lord took me to Israel last year just like He said He would. Janice today is a very near and dear friend.

Sent on assignment...

The Lord instructed me to have silicone bracelets made inscribed with "Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper!"

Isaiah bracelets

He said I was to give them to every IDF soldier and Jewish person that would give me the time of day in Israel. He said His anointing would be on the bracelets causing people to be curious about them and drawing them to me. Wow, from the moment I stepped off the plane in Israel, I was asked about the bracelets. I gave them away all throughout Israel. I was instructed to give them the bracelets to wear as a reminder of the covenant God made with Abraham, and therefore, with them, to bless and protect them for all generations.

The brave and courageous IDF Soldiers of the Givati Brigade

I ministered to soldiers, citizens, orthodox Jews, atheists and I even prayed for a rabbi named Jonah and his wife to have a baby they had been believing the Lord for. Jonah asked about the bracelets and when I told them the story about how I ended up in Israel and how I was to give them the bracelets by instruction from God, Jonah and his wife were so touched that they asked me to pray for them! I was able to tell my story countless times about how the Lord sent me to express His love for them. For more about the encounters, go to: http://samuelramosiii.blogspot.com/2013/09/back-from-trip-to-israel-part-1-western.html and to http://samuelramosiii.blogspot.com/2013/09/back-from-trip-to-israel-part-2.html

Above pictures: Various people who received bracelets

You supported the assignment…

Two weeks before I left, the Lord instructed me to provide opportunity to sow into the mission trip He was about to send me on. The response was great and the Lord met several needs while in Israel. Your seed went to an orphanage, missionaries to the Jewish people and other causes there, not to mention the bracelets. The cost of the trip was paid for before the offering request went out; none of the funds went to pay for my trip.

On the day I went to the Western Wall at the Temple Mount, I spent time in prayer at the wall and made mention of every person who sowed finances and prayers, leaving every person’s name on a piece of paper there in the wall. There I learned when the prayers and names fall out of the wall they are collected and placed in jars and buried at the Mount of Olives because that is where Messiah will first touch His feet when He returns. This is what the Lord gave me to share about sowing into the trip last year. You can also see the entire post on my blog at http://samuelramosiii.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-leave-for-israel-one-week-from-today.html

Prayers and Giving – A Memorial before God

Acts 10:3-4 - About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” And when he observed him, he was afraid, and he said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.”

Your giving is a memorial before God. Pastor Tony says, The seed you sow is received in heaven and becomes a memorial before God. Your dollars become “Little Preachers” preaching about your generosity before God continually.

I was reminded about a dream I had months ago that I did not understand. I found myself standing in a cloud of God’s presence. Then, as it cleared slightly, I saw what looked like pillar in front of me with writing or etching resembling hieroglyphics. It was so very beautiful that it captivated me. I was in such awe as I drew close and then I noticed a beautiful aroma being release by it. End of dream

The interpretation of the dream is very simple. The pillar represented the prayers and giving of His people, to Him, a beautiful sight to behold and wonderful aroma to be overcome with.

Please prayerfully seek the Lord and ask if He would have you give and how much. Let me be clear, I am not in any way trying to collect a fee for placing your name in the wall in Jerusalem. There is no power in that anyway. It is symbolic and my way to honor you before God while at standing on His holy ground and under probably one of the greatest portals to heaven known to man. The power lies in your obedience to God, should He instruct you to pray and/or give that will be the key to release His blessing. And because you do this, I know that my God shall supply all your need through His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Amen. Samuel Ramos 09-02-13

At the Wall the Lord says, You will be coming back next year…

Western Wall in Old City of Jerusalem

While at the Western Wall the Lord said I would be going back next year for Sukkot 2014. Two weeks after I returned to Houston I was approached by someone who heard about my trip and wanted to meet me. At the end of our meeting, I was informed that my trip back to Israel was paid in full for Sukkot 2014! Wow! It was only two weeks since the Lord told me I would be going back and He already made it clear that it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with Him!

       I leave in 8 weeks on October 4th for two weeks!

What? Go to Israel now? Why? Isn't it dangerous?

Yes, I know it seems like now may not be a good time to go, but it is actually the best time for me to go because the Lord said He would take me back this year. Then He paid for the trip weeks after I returned to Houston…that last year! I know I am supposed to be there. He said this year would be different because I would do a lot of ministering while there because the people would need much encouragement. Little did I know that I would be returning to Israel in a time of war? Only God could orchestrate something like this…I’m still in awe of all the things that had to happen for me to even be here typing this letter today.

Imagine you were an IDF soldier, most of them teens and young adults, and on a daily basis you see and hear from all the surrounding nations that you have no right to exist and should be exterminated. Imagine you were an Israeli citizen living in constant fear of rocket attack or from attacks that come through terror tunnels knowing that the only goal of the terrorist is to massacre you and your family. This a powerful and damaging philological effect on the people. That is why the Lord is sending me and many others to go physically show support and to minister to them.

You can play a big part in this year’s mission trip to Israel… to help bring healing from trauma and loss

Israeli taking shelter from incoming missiles and a Jewish home damaged by Hamas missile

The Lord has instructed me to provide opportunity, again, to everyone that would like to help financially. As I mentioned, the cost of the trip has already been paid for, so your finances will not go towards the trip itself. The Lord has instructed me to take 1000 silicone bracelets, 1000 camo bandanas and t-shirts with the same scripture He gave me last year. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper! I had no idea how prophetic it was at the time, but now it is clear the Lord was having me declare a year in advance His word over Israel. Little did I know at that time last year that I would be returning to an Israel engaged in war with Hamas, who is currently firing hundreds of missiles into Israel causing many adults and children severe shock and fear.

Financially and prayerfully support this assignment for Israel 2014…

I am personally encouraging you to seek the Lord about supporting this cause and to give your best seed. Some of you may not have to pray because you have the means to sow and are willing. No amount of money is too small and no amount of money is too great. It will all be put to good use. I personally am good ground to sow into, but how much more Israel?

Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

The goal is to take 1,000 bracelets, 1,000 bandanas and 1,000 t-shirts to give away throughout Israel. The cost of the material alone will be about $5,500.00, not including the screen printing for the bandanas, t-shirts and shipping to Israel, which I am estimating to be another $1,000.00 to $2,000.00. Any overflow of money sowed will be sown to ministries and people in Israel as the Lord leads. You will also receive a report to know what the Lord does in Israel and how you played a part in it. Please include with your seed a list of your family member’s names. The Lord has instructed me to spend time in prayer at the Western Wall again this year. I am to mention you and those on your list before Him in prayer and to leave your list there in the Wall. Your giving and prayers will go before Him as a memorial for sowing into His people. If you never get to personally go to Israel, you can know this, your name and those on the list you provide, will be in the Western Wall as a memorial to God that you were in agreement with Him and His assignment. Please pray this newsletter will make into the right hands and groups of people. Also begin to pray for the trip protection, wisdom and favor for the group I am going with and that we make the most of every opportunity and complete every assignment the Lord has given us.

Please help me get the word out. Forward this newsletter to everyone in your contact list or to those you feel need to be a part of this. You have my permission to make copies to give away. I am also available to share this story in person, one on one, in meetings, homes meetings or bible studies. You name it, and I will be there!

Dream - Two nuclear bombs, one explodes outside my front door

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 05:30:00 +0000

I had this dream July 24, 2012, but the Lord didn't give me anything on it until September 19, 2012. I released it then, but the Lord has instructed me to release it again. Don't brush it off as just another word. Please heed the word of the Lord and do whatever He has been telling you to do. It is imperative that we stay close to Him now more than ever. I am not trying to put fear in anyone because that is not my nature. I just know that He is speaking very seriously about things to come, but for the most part, the general population of the body of Christ is not getting it. We must pray for blind eyes to be opened and deaf ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church today and to act accordingly. Amen.

Two nuclear bombs, one explodes outside my front door

I was in my home bracing for some coming event. It seemed that all the doors and windows in the house had been secured. I was now standing in the living room by a love seat and facing the front door. The Lord was standing just behind me to my left and said, there is a nuclear bomb coming and its going to explode, but do not be afraid, nothing is going to happen to you. Just then, I heard the sound of the missile flying across the sky and over my home. It was the most frightening sound I ever heard even as it was flying into the distance. Then I heard the explosion. Somehow, I knew that the explosion took place somewhere on the other side of the world. I felt it was somewhere in the Middle East, possibly even Israel. Immediately after the explosion there was the sound of a freight train coming in the distance from the location of explosion. It was the shock wave from the explosion that was coming in our direction. It too made a very frightening sound as it drew closer. The ground began to shake and everything in the house, including me, began to vibrate. When it reached us I braced for the impact, but nothing happened. It was like a soft breeze blew past us. As I let out a sigh of relief, the Lord said, there is a second nuclear bomb coming. This one is going to land just outside your front door, but do not be afraid, nothing with happen to you. This time he said it very seriously and it caused me to fear. He said it again; do not be afraid, I am right here, nothing is going to happen to you; you must not be afraid. Then I braced myself behind the love seat on my hands and knees, but kept my eyes glued on the front door. Then I heard the missile coming and it sounded worse than the first one. I never heard something so frightening that it shook me to the very core. Everything was vibrating just from the roar of it coming. The Lord had to remind me again not to be afraid. Then it landed just outside my front door and exploded.

The whole house and everything in it shook violently. Things began to fall off the walls and shelves; furniture shook and vibrated all over the place, but something amazing happened. While everything shook and vibrated, I was completely unaffected. I didn’t shake or vibrate. I couldn’t feel anything that I was witnessing with my eyes. I should have been knocked to the ground, blown to pieces along with the house, but it was as if I was suspended in motion or another realm while the bomb exploded outside. When it was over, the house was still standing, not even one window was broken out. There was dust in the air that was just beginning to settle, but I woke from the dream before I could get a good look at the place to see if there was any damage. End of dream

I have been seeking the Lord about this dream since I had it two months ago. He spoke to me yesterday, September 19, and gave me understanding. Here is what he said:

The first bomb that exploded represents the Muslim uprising in the Middle East and the following shockwave is the news of it coming to America. But just as the shockwave in the dream was like a soft breeze passing by, so has been the news of the uprising to America and My people. It has come to pass over like a soft breeze. At the first report of the uprising, My people stood still and paid attention, but only for a moment. But once it was clear that nothing was affected here at home life continues on like nothing. Even though many are being murdered and extremely violent anti-American demonstrations are taking in the Middle East, America and My people are not taking the current events seriously because America is in a state of deep sleep and slumber. From the White House to the pulpit, America and My people are in a state of false security and vulnerability because of sin and iniquity. Do not be deceived by those who say, Peace! Peace! My leaders are not warning the people, but are catering to them instead. Being careful to serve them a word that will tingle here and tingle there, but it is not I doing the tingling. I am revealing My secrets to them, but they are not revealing them to the people. Now, more than ever before is the time to be spiritually sober and vigilant. The adversary is on the move and those who are asleep, and those who slumber, will be devoured. It has been 11 years since 9/11 and America has grown darker and further from Me than ever before. The time since 9/11 has been weighed in the balance and America has been found lacking. Life as you now know it is about to change just as it changed after 9/11. All that can be shaken will be shaken and all will be affected, but those who put their trust in Me will not be moved. Declare to the people - look among the nations, watch and pray! – Be utterly astounded! For the Lord will work a work in your days which you would not believe if it were told to you! But they will not listen to you; they will say among themselves, whom does he serve? Who is his covering? Declare to the people – lay aside your plans and purposes to pray and fast instead; co-labor with the Christ, but they will put it off for another day even as they declare themselves - this word he speaks is of the Lord! But they will only hear the word and not do it; even though much love is preached, the heart only seeks to gain and not give. In the dream the second bomb lands outside the front door of your house and it represents the uprising that has not taken place yet, but it is at your front door, says the Lord. Do not fear but only believe and trust in Me. Reach out to your loved ones and those close to you. Compel them to draw close to Me. Tell your friends and neighbors the Lord has need of them. Even though the day seems very dark, there is an outpouring and an awakening that is coming to America and there will not be room enough to hold the harvest. Every church, hotel and home will be filled with the glory of the Lord. Stadiums, churches and homes will be overflowing at the sound of the angels singing and declaring the mercies and blessings of God over the people. I will move and no man or ministry will claim fame to My works. No man or ministry will profit from it. I will cause to rise up many whose hearts are filled with the thoughts and intentions of the Father. They will seek the things of God concerning the people and the My Kingdom. They will be leaders and not masters, shepherds and not hirelings, and all who seek to thwart and discredit them will be humbled. I will bring down every person and ministry that has been made to stand on high places to be made fat with the finances of My people, deceiving them and being deceived themselves. I will cause favor and increase to be released into every home and family and it will be called the Blessing of My People. I will do this thing and I will not postpone these words any longer. I will perform My words, which I am speaking. Now, as in the dream, the second bomb is outside the front door, time to wake up America the great sleeper! Time to stand in the glory of the Lord as you once stood before, to be a light and symbol of freedom and to declare once again that you are “One Nation, under God, Indivisible, with Liberty, and Justice for All”. Blood, sweat and tears will be the vehicle through which revival comes to America. To humble one’s self or to be humbled is the choice to be made today, and I will shake, shake and shake America once again, until the choice has been made. Bread shall be eaten with anxiety, and water shall be consumed with dread, because of the violence of all who dwell in the land, but in the midst of the shaking I will cause to come forth, and to be set firm, a place for My faithful ones. I will do for them what I did for Joseph’s brothers when Pharaoh sent them to live the land of Goshen during the great famine. I will cause My faithful ones to be as the land of Goshen during a time of great spiritual famine which is coming upon the earth. Darkness and deep darkness such as never been before will be soon and My people will be lifted up, and My glory will be seen upon them, and I will do for them as I have promised. I will be to them a strong tower and fortified fortress in the day of trouble, a kingdom that will have no end. Says the Lord.

Dream – My dog runs out back door and I get locked out

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 04:39:00 +0000

12:28am

I was in my home that I currently live in. I was in the kitchen doing something, might have been cooking. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was my dog, Enoch, dash by me and out the back door. I didn’t realize it was even open. It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to get a good look to see what passed by me. I ran as fast as I could out the back door after him. I didn’t know if the gate was open and I wanted to catch him before he got out because once he’s out it’s hard to get him back in since he weighs over a hundred and ten pounds. As I ran out the house, I noticed he was sitting at the far side of yard looking at me and there was a black cat sitting next to him, which I thought was strange. As I approached him I noticed it was very dark outside like it was night, only there was something not right about the sky. When I got where Enoch was sitting, I was shocked to see it was only a grey statue of him and a black statue of a cat. I suddenly realized I had been deceived to be lured out of my house. I turned to look back at it just as the back door was being shut and locked. I was overtaken by fear of what was outside with me. End of dream

Please read this very carefully and prayerfully. I woke up at 12:28 am and I knew the time meant something because I normally do not pay attention to the time when I wake up in the middle of the night. The Lord instructed me to look up the scriptures on a Chapter & Verse Dream Card I got from Breath of the Spirit Ministry. There were only two with 12:28. I will list them at the end of the prophetic word the Lord gave me to release. They seem to support the word. The Lord did not make me seek Him for understanding about this dream. He is simply saying we must all begin to tell those around us to turn from the world and to the Lord before it’s too late. There is not much time for many of them to turn to Him. I believe something is going to happen which will end many lives and we must be prepared to deal with the fact that we may personally know some of them. He clearly said,

Tell the people now is not the time to backslide or compromise. Make a conscious decision today and choose whom you will serve. Do not take for granted My grace or mercy. Be done with your pet sins and go after them no longer as a dog returns to his vomit. It is only idolatry and rebellion to continue trampling underfoot the blood of My dear and precious Son. He paid a price you could have never paid and it was enough.

My grace is sufficient for you to not backslide and compromise. Grieve no longer My Spirit to the point of death. Isn’t it enough that I died for you and have given you the kingdom? The enemy has deceived many into lusting after the things of this world, but they only lead to darkness as the five foolish virgins discovered for themselves. Do not be foolish as they were foolish. Do not continue to come into My presence, in My house, only to take it with you and squander by way of perversion. You deceive yourselves into thinking that I will forgive and forgive again. Once the door is shut it will remain shut and no man can open. So heed the voice of My Word and humble yourselves unto the Almighty, for even now a seal has been broken and a vial is poured out. Glory to the Lamb is the song being sung in heaven now! So make haste, and waste not the time, but you must reach out and find all who have strayed and all who have fallen away. Compel and compel again, say to them, the time is at hand for the great and terrible day of the Lord, and it comes quickly like a thief in the night. You! Believer! You must now be a doer of the Word, believing and doing My Words. I will tell you what that man will look like in the days of great shaking, which are just ahead. He is like a man who built his house on the rock and when all that could be shaken was shaken, his house stood and was not moved. Assuredly I tell you the truth, many in the days ahead will be shaken, and shaken again, but they will not stand because they have built their lives on the lies of this world’s system and I liken them to the man who built his house on sand and great will be the destruction of that man. I desire that not one soul should parish, so run with fire and minister to the lost. Be reconciled to all. Do not hold anything against another and save your own soul. Love covers a multitude of sin. Cry out! Come all who are thirsty and drink! Find rest for your souls! But to My children I say do not fear, for I have called you for such a time as this. I say again, for to this day you were born. Trust in Me with all your heart and I will direct your paths. Do not deviate to the left or to the right, but only obey My commands in these days and you will know Me as I AM in these days, and the people who know I AM will be strong and carry out great and mighty exploits. Let not your hearts be troubled, but be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Watch and pray, says the Lord.

Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.

Ezekiel 12:28 “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”

Please share with everyone.

Stay focused and believe the Word of the Lord

1 Thessalonians 4

New Living Translation (NLT)

Live to Please God

4 Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. ²For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

³God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. ⁴Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— ⁵not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. ⁶Never harm or cheat a Christian brother in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. ⁷God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. ⁸Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
⁹But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. ¹⁰Indeed, you already show your love for all the believersthroughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.
¹¹Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. ¹²Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.

The Hope of the Resurrection

¹³And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. ¹⁴For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

¹⁵We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. ¹⁶For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have diedwill rise from their graves. ¹⁷Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸So encourage each other with these words.

You Shall Not Lack Any Good Thing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 May 2014 15:55:00 +0000

Psalm 34:10

The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

How many would agree that to take on a young lion would be a deadly mistake…unless you were David of the OT. But to take on a lacking and hungry young lion would mean certain death unless the Lord intervened. Here in this verse He is saying a young lion as powerful as it can be will suffer lack and hunger. But those who seek Me will not suffer any good thing.

I wanted to tell you this morning it doesn’t matter what you are up against. It may seem like you are about to be devoured and you are helpless to defend yourself, but the Lord is saying this morning if you will seek Him you will not lack what you need to avoid being devoured by what may seem like a helpless situation.

How do you seek the Lord? Well the word seek here in this verse means several different things. Some of the meanings are:

-to resort to, seek, seek with care, enquire, require

-to resort to, frequent (a place), (tread a place)

-to seek deity (God) in prayer and worship

-to investigate, enquire

-to practice, study, follow, seek with application

-to seek with care, care for

-to allow oneself to be enquired of, consulted (only of God)

-to be sought, be sought out

Basically, to seek in this verse means this, “To rub, to beat, to tread, to trample with feet; to tread or to beat a path” Wow. So we are to seek the Lord to the degree that we wear a path to Him because we have gone to Him so frequently. Like when a path is worn in grass when you walk across it repeatedly. We should seek the Lord so much that a path can be seen to Him from us.

This is His promise to you if you will seek Him this way…You Shall Not Lack Any Good Thing.

The great thing is He already made a path for us to follow.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

May the Lord keep you and bless you,

The Lord make His face to shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace. Amen

Call to Intercession: Dreamed War from Hevron to Jerusalem

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 03:53:00 +0000

04-16-14 Dream – War in Hevron

I had this dream just before I woke up Wednesday morning about 4:30 am.

A war was taking place over the land about who the rightful owners were. There was a
home I entered into and I began to walk through a walk way in the home. It was paved
with cobblestone. It looked much like the stone the streets and walkways in the Old City
of Jerusalem are made of. There was a little boy in this house painting on a canvass with
oil paint; he was dripping blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway as he painted.

The war which was outside the house had somehow now moved inside the house. The
people were pointing at the blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway saying, “See,
here is the proof the land is ours because it is covered in, and paid for, with our very own
blood!” Then I heard all the people agree with this declaration and a great celebration
began.

Then I saw coins minted by the state to commemorate this day. There were coins made of
silver and of gold. They had written on the backside of the coin, “This Is Our Land!”
Every coin made was placed in a frame to hang on a wall. Not one of the coins front side
could be seen. End of dream.

I believe the Lord is calling intercessors to be attentive to the current events in Hevron
with regard to the Jewish family that was attacked a few days ago. It will turn out to be
that a fuse has been lit. This event will turn out to be a tipping point for an ongoing
division from within the State of Israel causing the division be unified on how to deal
with the ongoing terrorist attacks in Hevron. This will cause there to be a consensus
among the majority which says, “This is our land and enough is enough!” Once these
words are put to action, there will be a shaking in the land that will begin in Hevron
leading up to, and into, the Old City, even to the very Temple Mount. The day will be
remembered as a picture is framed and hung on a wall and as a coin is minted to
commemorate a historical event.

Pray for PM and advisers, military and the soldiers for strength and courage
Pray for the families of those serving in the IDF
Pray for a dismantling of military weapons and plans against Israel. No weapon formed against them shall prosper!
Pray for all plans against Israel by nations that pretend to be for them to be exposed and undone.
Pray without ceasing and as the Lord leads…
Declare the land belongs to Israel! The land is the home of the Jews!

Isaiah 62:6-7
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth

As intercessors, we must remember to pray and to yield to the Spirit of intercession. Push through the distractions and the mind games the enemy will try to hinder you with. Do whatever it takes to stay in that place because the nations are depending on the intercessors to decree, declare and establish what the Lord is doing this day and hour upon the earth.

Please feel free to share this with others as you are lead to and reach out to others and encourage them to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Teach them why they should. I believe the Lord will teach you what you ought to say and how to say it.

Blessings,

Samuel

You have been made “Set Established”

John 15:16 KJV

Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

I love this verse because what it is really saying is first, He chose us we did not choose Him. So that means He chose us with a purpose. Would you agree that anything He does He does it with a purpose? Of course the answer is yes. So then did He create you? The answer is yes. So then He created you with a purpose right? And that purpose is good, filled with prosperity, a future and hope. Second, is that we should bear fruit and that our fruit should remain. In other words, the good things He is doing in our lives, the deliverance, the healings, the ministry, the business and all the other good works the Lord is doing in us and through us are not meant to be temporary, but they are meant to be permanent.

I want to point out something Jesus says that is so powerful. Well, anything Jesus says is powerful, but you know what I mean. He says, but I have chosen you, and ordained you… Wow, first He chooses us and says to us He did this so we can go bear fruit that remains, good works that will glorify the Father (and His great love for us). But then He says that He ordained or appointed us to do these things.

It means –

- to set, fix establish

- to name to assign to a position, an office, or the like; designate

- to determine by authority or agreement; fix; set

- to designate (a person) to take the benefit designated by an estate created by a deed or will

- to provide with what is necessary; equip; furnish

- to order or establish by decree or command; ordain; constitute

Jesus is saying He has already fixed and established you to bear much fruit in your life that the devil can’t steal unless you allow him to. It is your birthright as a son or daughter of God to benefit from all the kingdom has to offer because you have been given the deed or will to the kingdom.

Jeremiah 1:5 WEB

Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee...

Again, the Lord is saying you had nothing to do with His choosing you. You did not even exist at the time He planned everything for you. You were not even an embryo at the time He chose you. But again, He says, He chose you and sanctified you at the same time. Don’t forget! He did this before you were formed in the womb; you had nothing to do with it. Sanctified means to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified and to be separate. This is what He did for you before you were an embryo.

Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before-hand that we should walk in them.

So this is an interesting verse. Apparently, we are God’s workmanship created for good works He created beforehand. As in before we were formed in the womb? Hmm… I’m starting to see a pattern here. I am not being sarcastic by saying apparently, but I use the word because it means capable of being easily perceived or understood; plain and clear; obvious. Some synonyms are discernible, open, conspicuous, manifest, unmistakable, apparent, evident, obvious, patent and they all refer to something easily perceived. Wow! You are so set up for success! You are now able to easily perceive and understand that He chose you and you did not choose Him. He sanctified you and set you apart. He set you fixed and established. He provided you with what is necessary to overcome and be victorious. He equipped and furnished all you need. He consecrated you and made you holy unto Him. He called and equipped you before you were born. He created good works for you to walk in beforehand. And the most interesting part of this verse is you are God’s workmanship created in Christ. You have been created in Christ and in the power of His might, but this has been done so you can, in Christ and His power and might, walk in good works, which God prepared first then He formed you in the womb.

Psalm 139:13-18 NKJV

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet, there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts towards me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you.

What a mighty God we serve! He’s so good! In other words, this life God has planned for you is so other worldly rich in blessing that is must be a dream. It has to be a dream because there is no way life can be this good even if it were planned before you were ever born, but then the writer wakes from his assumed dream only to find God is still there with him and the dream is true. The dream was true for him and the dream is true for you and all you have to do is believe God.

Genesis 15:1, 6 NKJV

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” …And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

All you have to do is believe that God is going to do what He says. Believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth and keep taking steps forward. No matter how many times you fall or fail, get up and keep walking forward. The Lord Himself says a good man will fall, but the Lord upholds him by His hand. Even this the Lord does by His hand.

This part might ruff some feathers. The Lord Jesus Himself, while carrying His cross on His way to the place of the skull, fell several times under the weight of the cross. His goal was to get to Golgotha where He was to be crucified, but He couldn't make it all the way on His own. The weight of the cross was too heavy so someone had to help our Lord and Savior carry His cross the rest of the way. Can you image if the first time He fell with the cross He thought to Himself, "I've failed, I can't make it the rest of the way?" No, He didn't do that. He kept His eyes on the prize, kept getting back up and trying again. He took another step closer. God even had to send someone to help Jesus carry the cross the rest of the way to the place where He would be crucified, but He did it! Hallelujah!

Let me also be clear about one thing. The prize Jesus kept His eyes on was not making it the place where He was too be crucified, but the prize He kept His eyes on that gave Him the will to finish His race was YOU. In the Bible you are described as "the Joy that was set before Him"

I want to encourage you today to remember how you began your walk with the Lord. Simply put, we humbled ourselves before the Lord and acknowledged we were sinners in bondage and unable to save ourselves. He then forgives us and gives us His righteousness, which is of God Himself. He filled us with His Spirit and begins a good work in us. Scripture says we should be confident (it should be apparent to us) of this very thing, that He who has begun this good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…Philippians 1:6 NKJV Meditate on these things and let them establish you in mind and spirit, causing you to be rooted and grounded.

No matter what comes against you in the natural or in the spirit, you have already been prepared to do good works in the situation. You have been appointed by God to bring Him glory. He’s given it to you…the keys to the kingdom. You have a place at the Father’s table and no one can take that from you. Believe these things and practice them. Never stop believing. Never stop trying. The Lord will meet you where the rubber meets the road. It’s a fixed fight. You win.

I want to leave you with the following scriptures. Keep them in your heart and ponder them all the days of your life.

Proverbs 4:10-13

Hear, My son, and receive My sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk you steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; keep her, for she is your life.

Psalm 119:165

Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.

My prayer for you today is the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Samuel...smashing pillars, raising sons.

Shalom!

Romans 8:37-39
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord...not even when life gives you a flat tire because God will always give you a donut to get you back on the road to destiny.

Shalom! God breaks the yoke that binds you to chaos!

Father, release a fresh anointing to the reader of this post today and break the yoke that binds them to chaos. Let your shalom fill them and every situation concerning them now. I thank you for doing it because I know you hear my voice Abba and it is your good pleasure to do it. You're awesome :)

02-07-14 Prophetic Word - Let NO-thing hold you back!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 08 Feb 2014 17:32:00 +0000

Don't let anything hold you back. Go for it. Those around you will either support you or criticize you. Let both motivate you to give it your all. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus the Christ, and you will succeed. Might as well get used to it, not all people are for you, not all people want to see you succeed. They will be quick to tell you what God is telling them to tell you to do, but hardly ever do anything themselves. Rise up above the approvals of men for motivation to act. You are already approved. You are already equipped. Be very careful of those who are always lifting you up saying how awesome you are and how powerful you are because they will also be the first pull you down and trash you. Walk in love, godly love and not sensual love. Believe the best, but most of all, believe God and His Word. Give Him the glory always and He will direct your steps. Boast about Christ and Him crucified. Preach His gospel and not some gospel contrary to the gospel of His kingdom and you will see the salvation of the Lord move for those who believe.... if you believe.

Prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 02:09:00 +0000

Hebraic prospective on prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.

Prosperity is not praying and laying your hands on a new house or car and then getting it. Prosperity is much more than that, but you have to look at it from the Hebraic perspective noted above.

Psalm 139:13
For You formed my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother's womb.

God knit prosperity in your very being, it is hidden in the marrow in your bones. (Chuck Pierce's words) It is literally in your blood. Prosperity runs through your veins. It is laying somewhere in the marrow waiting for God to uncover it by His prophetic word over you. That prophetic word is the key to unlocking, or uncovering, the prosperity God has knit into you which will cause it to come forth and blossom. Here's the proof - Hebrews 4:12
For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between the soul and the spirit, between the joint and the marrow. It exposes (uncovers) our inner most thoughts and desires.

Think about this - Jesus said, out of your belly (inner most being) will flow rivers of living waters. He was speaking about the spirit man and not the soul. So if the Word of God divides the soul and the spirit, exposing the inner most thoughts and desires of a person, then the key to getting the desires of our hearts uncovered and revealed is the Word because only the Word can uncover, bring forth and then blossom what He has placed the marrow of each and every believer.

When He releases His prophetic word over you, it uncovers that which has been knit into your inner most being, when He knit you together in your mother's womb. Then what God has knit in you comes forth and begins to blossom. You begin to walk in prosperity or in others words, you begin to manifest the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Luke 17:20-12 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 with they say, see here or see there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you...Prosperity!

God has always wanted us to have a harvest mentality so He built His covenants around harvest, increase in other words. God has more covenants than just the Old and New Covenants. The only way to truly prosper, to gain harvest and increase with God, is through covenant with God. Study it for yourself.

So when the word is spoken over you that reveals the desires God has placed in your inner most being, the key to unlocking it, is doing that word. It is allowing Him to take you through the process required to unlock the prosperity God has for you, which will lie dormant until He uncovers it. We are all called to prosper as sons of God, but many never enter into prosperity because not many are willing to go through the process required so that it may come forth and begin to blossom.

In others words, many never ever realize the potential for prosperity that God has placed in them because many are not willing to walk in covenant with Him.

New Territory ...to us a great door has been opened

Transition - New Season of Fruitfulness

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 04:29:00 +0000

I originally received this word last year, but just now released to share it. Praying for you bride.

05-16-13 Transitioning into a New Season of Fruitfulness

I woke this morning hearing the words to a song in my spirit. The song is by a new friend, a brother the Lord brought into my life recently…Cephas the Remnant (look him up)

The words go some thing like this:

Heaven is calling,

One step away;

Won’t you say yes?

He’s calling out your name.

As I was hearing this song in my spirit, I realized the Lord had something to say and just then I saw a vision of Him standing in front of a banana tree, but He had His back to me. Suddenly, He had a machete in His hand and He cut the banana tree down. After a short while, two banana trees sprang up. When they produced bananas, He cut down the banana trees down again. After a while they sprang up again, twice as much as before. When they produced bananas, He harvested them and cut the trees down again. And yes, twice as many banana trees sprang up again. End of vision

Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Lord is saying to many this morning, you are in a time of transition. Do not be discouraged if it seems like fruit is not being produced in your life at the moment. In fact, for some, it may seem like the fruit in your life and ministry is somehow diminishing instead of increasing, but the Lord is causing you to decrease so that He may increase you more and more. The devil would like to convince you that your ministry is not as fruitful as it once was, but the Spirit says; you are being transitioned into a new season. Therefore, do not grow weary and do not cast away your confidence in the promises made to you because He is not slack concerning them. Hallelujah! Hold on; keep on believing, keep on faithing, because you’re on the brink of breakthrough.

John 15:1-2 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

It is the Lord causing what seems to be a diminishing of fruitfulness and activity in your life and ministry, but there is a purpose. That purpose is for a cutting off of the old branches to make way for the new branches that will bear new fruit. You have done nothing wrong, you have done everything right. A cutting away of the dead things never is a pleasant experience, but once it’s over then the new growth begins and soon the fruit. Expect big this year. I hear the words “bumper crop” a very good friend of mine likes to say “exponential growth”. The door for opportunity is open and there is great potential for things to get real good for those who are positioning themselves…aligning themselves correctly with the Lord, His word, His timing and in His kingdom. His purpose is for the showing forth of His glory through His sons and daughters.

Job 14:7-9, 14 For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant. If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes.

Just like in the vision, the Lord would cut down the banana tree after it bore fruit. After a while, a season, it grew back twice as much. You may be in that in between season of feeling like a stump in the ground. Let me remind you what happens next…double! Double happens next…praise, worship, adoration and thanksgiving can act like Miracle Grow to speed up the process a little. Hmmm….

Job 8:21-22; 11:16, 19 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing…because you will remember it as waters that have passed away. You will also lie down and no one will make you afraid. Yes, many will court your favor.

Just a few observations about some of the symbolism in the dream:

The machete the cutting away banana trees – repentance, change, discipline; cutting back for increased harvest and fruit.

The banana, which is the result of the cutting back and pruning – gentleness; easy to open up and share the sweet soft inside…which is really more of Jesus coming out of us and less of self. That is always His intended result, that we be more conformed to His image.

Yellow - gift as in gift of God or from God, honor, light (revelation), renewed mind, courage, celebration and joy

The backside of the Lord – is His glory.

Exodus 33:22-23 So shall it be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back (Glory); but My face shall not be seen.

Be encouraged, your future is looking bright.

911 - The Lord is sounding an urgent warning to us

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 24 Dec 2013 02:17:00 +0000

1 Peter 5:8-11
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing the the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

For weeks now I have been turning to see the time 9:11, mornings and evenings. I've been seeing it in many other places ***911, 911xxx, 000911000, ...911... and so on.

The Lord is clearly sounding an urgent warning to us. I have asked and sought the Lord about this and He said...Don't you know what time it is? Are you also asleep and dull of hearing? So I have made you to be a sign and symbol of the Church today. Asleep and dull of hearing, but confesses to hear and know the voice of God. If My people will turn from their wicked ways and pray to Me then I will make known to them that which is about to be revealed and unleashed that they may be prepared and unafraid of the things they will see with their eyes and hear with their ears. Deception and gross deception has lulled My people to sleep and is tormenting them in their dreams, but I am raising up My trumpets out of the remnant to sound the call to awake the Sleepers, but not too many will hear the call for their sleep is too deep....they are too busy. End

Then the Lord showed me many asleep as He said, but they were not sleeping as I imaged they would be...in a bed with eyes closed. They were doing various things - watching secular television shows and Christian television shows...glued to their television sets, sports shows, hobbies, programs, church programs, shopping at malls, partying in homes and clubs and many other forms of what we call life and living, but in all these different scenes the people were all in what looked like a state of hypnosis or a trance.

He said, My people are too busy by design of the enemy to keep them distracted and unaware of that which is being plotted against them. Wake My people up.

1 Thessalonians 5:3-7
For when they say, Peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should not over take you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk get drunk at night.

We must not grow weary in intercession. We must not give Him rest, but we must be vigilant to pray and fast...it may be the people will begin to stir and rouse from their deep sleep, but we must not fear them nor fear being rejected. We must stir the people of God to wake up.

Video: Urgent Call to Intercede for Israel 11-21-13

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:21:00 +0000

The Lord has instructed me to encourage His intercessors to be strengthened and do not grow weary in your well doing. Your fasting and intercession has wrought much fruit and about to bear even more, but do not stop praying and continue to recruit others to pray with you. It is imperative that we do not let up now. Today is the day of salvation for the Jews! Please watch the clip below and share if you feel led.

Please continue praying and fasting for Israel as we see the nations surrounding her plot and scheme their way into an agreement to remove the Jews from their land.

It will not happen. Period.
The Jews will not give up Jerusalem. Period.
The Jews will not be wiped off the map. Period.
The Jews will not be defeated by any nation, no matter how much larger and powerful. Period.
God will not allow it. Period.

Pray for America, that God will have mercy on us for being a witness and partner with Israel's enemies. This is a very serious thing God does not take lightly. Do not be deceived into thinking we are safe here in America because the potential for war is half way around the earth. The enemy is at work here in America now as we enjoy our malls, entertainment complexes and worship our American Idols. God forgive us.

What we can do is pray and fast. Make time to do this and ask the Lord to show you what is being planned against us in our own backyard here in America. As He reveals these things, ask Him to show you how to pray for the undoing and reversing of the plans of the enemy. Decree and declare all hidden works and plans for destruction are broken and being exposed. Decree and declare the things that are not obvious are being brought into the light and the institutionalized Church in America is waking up! Amen.

Scripture prayer points:

2 Chronicles 20:7 "[Are] You not our God, [who] drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

Isaiah 41:8-13 "But you, Israel, [are] My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. [You] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, 'You [are] My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I [am] with you; Be not dismayed, for I [am] your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ “Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them--Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'

Isaiah 31:5 Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver [it]; Passing over, He will preserve [it]."

Isaiah 37:35 'For I will defend this city, to save it For My own sake and for My servant David's sake.' "

Job 4:9-10 By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed. The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.

Psalm 71:2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.

Psalm 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.

Psalm 37:12

The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Amen.

Open Your Eyes and...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:25:00 +0000

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. Genesis 21:19

This verse comes from the story of Hagar in the wilderness with her son after she had been sent away by Abram. She wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba with only some bread and a bottle of water until it was gone. When the water was gone she left her son under a bush and walked away some distance because she did not want to witness the death of her baby there in the wilderness. She wept; was without hope with no one to help. At least she must have thought she was without hope and there was no one to help. But God. He heard the baby crying out and spoke a word to Hagar and opened her eyes to see...that even in the place where death to her and her son was certain, it wasn't over yet. Read the story in Genesis 21 from Hagar's prospective. I know that her son was not and is not the promise God made to Abraham. Period. But read the story from Hagar's prospective. She was a mother with a son that was said to have been possibly 14 years of age at the time of Isaac's birth. Life must have been great and looking very promising for Hagar and Ismael until they were sent away into the wilderness. I can only imagine what Hagar must have been thinking at that very moment she made the decision to leave her son behind because witnessing his death was too much for her to bare. But just when it seems it was all about to come to an end, God speaks a word to her and opens her eyes to see that basically, her son, her world, is not dead yet. In fact, He tells her, you and your baby (your dream, your ministry, your marriage, your business etc.) isn't going to die, but it will live, and it will thrive, and it will become great. Wow...what a powerful story and it should be a great encouragement to you if you see yourself in the story today. I believe God is saying to you this morning, "Don't throw your baby away because I have provided living water for you and your baby!" I believe He is saying, "Choose life today and live because I have come into your life and into your wilderness experience that you might have life and life abundantly, but you have to open your eyes. You have to open the eyes of your heart to see that I have provided a way for you!" But when God speaks a word to us directly, or through His Word, or through a person, we must purpose in our hearts to open our eyes to see and then we must get up and act upon that word.

Job says it so beautifully in his wilderness experience in Job 14:7-9:

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that is will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease, though its root may grow old in the earth, and it's stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.

Do you see? Job didn't just think this up himself. No! God opened his eyes to see and then Job acts upon it by saying that he was not giving up on believing God.

Job 14:14 - If a mans dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes. Job now knows that God was not going to leave him the way he was. Job drank the living water God provided in the word Job saw and heard when his eyes were opened by God. We all know how it ended for Job. God blessed him and he became great.

Now I want to say that I just noticed something about this post as I am typing it out. The number 14 is mentioned three times. Once in Ismael being about 14 years old and Job 14:14. Three representing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I believe the 14 have some meaning for us.

The prophetic meaning of 14 is: Passover, deliverance, salvation, double anointing

Think God is trying to say something to us this morning? Don't give up, help is on the way. This wilderness experience has come, but it has not come to stay. It will pass over you, you will be delivered and receive salvation. In the end, you will better than you were in the beginning as Job and Hagar were.

Decide today to Open Your Eyes and see what the Lord is saying about your situation.

Receive this blessing today:

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Amen.

Please feel free to share this.

Back from trip to Israel Part 4: Dinner at Richard & Carolyn Hyde's Home

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 03:54:00 +0000

At the end of our first full day in Israel, we spent the evening at Richard and Carolyn Hyde's home. They are wonderful believers in Yeshua the Messiah. Carolyn led us in worship while Richard finished preparing dinner...for all 50 of us! Wow! Such a good man!

I assumed Richard was Jewish, but Carolyn said he isn't Jewish - he's a West Texas Cowboy though! She said together she and Richard are a one new man couple - Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah. She's so cool.

Here are just a few pictures and clips. I didn't get very many, but what I did get will make you feel like you are there. The first two clips were taken when we first arrived at the Hyde's. They took us down the street from their home to teach us Israeli folk dancing. We had so much fun! I apologize for the quality of the sound in the video...too windy. :)

We had a joyous time dancing and rejoicing in the land.

Below: A view of the Sea of Galilee from the front door of Richard and Carolyn's home. So beautiful...

Below: Inside the Hyde's home for worship

Clip below: Carolyn Hyde and Texas worshiping together!

Clip below: Anointed worship, Carolyn is joined by her son (back to camera)

Clip below: Richard Hyde encourages the group to be bold and witness to the Jewish people, but he gives us some practical advice about how to lead them to Yeshua the Messiah rather than trying to get them to convert. His information was so good that I had to share the clip. Please forgive me for only filming his backside while he preached. I'm sorry Richard my brother! I do better next year!

Below: Time to say good night, but not goodbye.

Samuel, Carolyn and Richard

Rosalie, Carolyn, Carmen (front center), Richard and Sue

Richard and Carolyn - Thank you so much for having us (Texas) in your home. We will never forget the experience, the hospitality and the food!

Blessing you abundantly, Samuel

Richard and Carolyn minister to Jewish people and soldiers in Israel, leading many to Yeshua. They also do outreaches in Israel and Germany. Please visit their website at www.heartofg-d.org and support their ministry. You will be blessed by the testimonies and other information they have available. Most of all, please pray for them, and you have to absolutely positively look them up if you are ever in the Israel.

Please share this post!

Back from trip to lsrael - Part 3: Jerusalem March on September 23

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 03:44:00 +0000

This was the day of all days for me in Israel. I ran out of the Isaiah 54:17 bracelets. I gave them to many men, woman and children. I was able to give many to Orthodox Jews and even a few Rabbis took them from me. I mentioned in an earlier post about the Rabbi Jonah and his wife Hannah who asked me to pray for them to have a child. They also asked to video me encouraging PM Netanyahu to not bow down to pressure from the US or any other nation to do anything that would hurt Israel. So I did just that. I looked into the camera and address PM Netanyahu saying, My name is Samuel and I am here from America to say to Israel and the people that we love you and are praying for you! I am also here PM Netanyahu to encourage you to not bow down to pressure from the US or any other nation to do anything that would hurt Israel and the people. I continued, Bibi, you hear and know the voice of God and you must trust and obey to not give up any more land. You must only be strong and courageous and do not fear for the Lord your God is with you Bibi! We are praying for you and we stand with you! Amen!

Wow! I had so much adrenaline flowing through me after that that I thought I was going to take off like an Iron Dome Missile! Read below more information on the March from the Jerusalem Watch Report:

Excerpted from Barry Segal, Jerusalem Watch Report

Christians Part Of Huge Jerusalem March Turnout: Over 60,000 people took part in the annual Jerusalem March held each year during the biblical festival of Succot, the Feast of Tabernacles. The turnout was nearly double the 32,000 that participated in the event last year. Israelis from all over the country ascended to Jerusalem for the march, as did thousands of Evangelical Christians from all over the world. The Christian delegations are always the most colorful part of the march, which winds through the streets of downtown Jerusalem, ending at the walls of the historic Old City. Israelis are fascinated by the demonstration of support by the Christians, and announcers along the route of the march always make a point of singling out these foreign visitors both in order to express their thanks and to make fellow Israelis aware of what is happening. For the Christians, participation in the march is a precursor to the fulfillment of Zechariah 14:16-21, which foretells a time when all those remaining from the nations will be required to "go up to Jerusalem" during Succot. (Israel Today) "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the feast of Tabernacles. Zech 14:16

I hope you enjoy the following clips and pictures from the march. I am looking forward to returning next year with triple the amount of bracelets to sow into the land and the people, but most of all, to share the love of Messiah. The whole purpose of our being there was to be the hands and feet of Yeshua.

So we began our day with Paul, under the unction of the Holy Spirit, anointing our feet on the bus before we left for the march.

We had a great time meeting delegations from all over the world while we waited for our place in the march

And now for a message from our sponsors...

Our very own special Bishop Brenda Perry leads our group in an awesome song I'm going to call Ha, ha, ha, ha... You'll understand, just watch the clip.

Time to start marching!

The people were so excited that we were there. It was very overwhelming.

My new friend Jonah the Rabbi

This picture of a Jewish father with his son is one of my favorites. The joy in there faces expresses their gratitude and excitement that we were there. This picture is worth a thousand and one words.

The march is over...too soon. We are regrouping before we start heading towards the bus.

Stan Goodenough making sure everyone is accounted for before we leave.

The darlings of Israel!

The Jerusalem March during the Feast of Tabernacles 2013 was more than I expected. I made some new friends that day. I hope to see them next year when I return for Feast of Tabernacles 2014. Remember that your prayers and sowing played a big part in all that I was able to do with the bracelets. Many people were blessed by them and I know God will not forget what you did. He will cause the recipients of those bracelets to become curious about the verse on them and when the begin to search it out...they will encounter Messiah! Hallelujah!

I hope that you enjoyed these pictures and will consider joining me next year in Jerusalem. If you are interested, please let me know and I will forward the tour package information as soon as it is made available.

Please keep your eyes open for more pictures and clips from Israel. And as always, please feel free to share!

Blessings,

Samuel

Back from trip to Israel - Part 2: The Isaiah 54:17 Bracelets

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 03:28:00 +0000

Dear friends,

I am back from my trip to Israel and I have many great stories and photos to share. Below are photos of people in Israel that received the silicone bracelets I mentioned I would give out to the Jewish people. The Lord said He would cause the people to be curious about them and I can't tell you how many times I was approached by people wondering what they were. Many were touched and overwhelmed that someone from America spent so much money and time to travel to their land to tell them they are loved and prayed for by believers in America. One of my first encounters was while at Masada in the Judaean Desert as you will see below. I had 450 bracelets and I returned with only the 2 that I was wearing.

The anointed bracelets!

IDF soldiers from the Givati Brigade. They are the elite of the Israeli Military.

Another member of the Givati Brigade. She also sang some Israeli songs to us with 3 other soldiers. It was awesome!

2 more Givati soldiers...also part of the group who sang for us.

Palestinian soldiers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs also known as the cave of Machpaela where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried. Located in Hebron.

Palestinian vendor at the Tomb of the Patriarchs. He wanted a bracelet when I explained what it represented.

Jewish boy at the Jerusalem March

Jewish young adults approached me about the bracelets. As I explained and handed them one they began to laugh. They laughed because I was quoting the verse on the bracelet from Isaiah when they told me their friend was Atheist and didn't believe in God. He's the third one from the left. He chucked and said he didn't believe in God. I told him God believed in him and he didn't know how to respond. I asked him if he would give God permission to prove to him He was real and was for him and he said yes. Then I asked him if I could pray for him and he said yes. I asked him if I could put my hand on him to pray for him and he said yes. By this time his friends were not laughing anymore. When I put my hand on him the presence of God covered him and his facial expression confirmed it. :) While I prayed for him the Lord told me the young man was searching for his purpose in life but it only escaped him and he was very burdened by it. The Lord said to tell him that God would visit him soon and when He did He would also reveal his purpose in life that he so badly searched for. His friends were wide eyed and the his lips were quivering and the presence of God saturated him. Then I said, Father from my mouth to Your ears, let it be so. Amen! I told the young man that when God visited him he would remember the day that he we met and prayed together, but he said no. I will remember it every time I see this bracelet that I will be wearing! Whoa!!!!

Tali - she took several bracelets for people she knew and for her nephew who is in the army now. She was also our guide and a great blessing to us. Blessings Tali!!!

Jewish couple from Scotland

Jewish boys from Israel. They were so excited about the bracelets, but when them I came from America they started saying, We love America! I felt much love for these two boys and them I loved them, not only Americans loved them, but I loved them. I think something happened when I said it because they looked shocked and then very sentimental. They left and then the one on the right came back a few minutes later. He looked at me and said I love you too and smile. Then he took off his cap and gave it to me and said he wanted me to have something from him too. I hugged and he turned to leave, but I said wait, I have something for you. I had a baseball cap I bought in Philadelphia during my layover. It was red with Philadelphia embroidered on the front. It was too small for my big head so I took it with me to give it to someone at the march and I knew it was meant for him. He put it on and left with a big smile. It was later that I was told it had to be a prophetic release/act the Lord was doing because Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love and I was there from America to share brotherly love with the Jewish people.

My Jewish bros!

Brazilian Jews!

Brazilian Jews working the bracelets!

Israeli police officer. He didn't want to take the photo at first, but didn't take no for an answer. He was hesitant, but complied when I told him I was from America. Blessings to that precious brother!!

Israeli children came to tell me they loved me and welcome to Israel! They know the magic words to make Samuel give up the bracelets! LOL

This was a very cool encounter. This is a Jewish Rabbi named Jonah. He laughed when I told him I was Samuel. He and his wife asked me to pray for them to have a child because her name was Hannah and Samuel's mother was named Hannah. Wow! They loved the bracelets.

One more thing about Jonah and his wife. They if I would allow them to video me speaking a message to PM Netanyahu. They are asked me to tell him to obey the God and not give up any more land. I said yes! I looked into the camera and introduced myself and how I came to Israel from America to sow into the land and people. I said to Benjamin Netanyahu, You hear and know the voice of the Lord, and you must obey to not give up more land. Do not bow down to pressure from the UN or US to give up any more land or to jeopardize or compromise the safety and security of Israel and Jerusalem. I told him, We are praying for you and we stand with you Bibi! Only be strong and courageous for the Lord your God is with you Bibi wherever you go! Amen!

Wow! What an honor to be able to do that. I wonder if he will ever see that clip.

These two guys followed me at the Old City and even make me go into a Sukkot to eat and dance with Orthodox Jewish men celebrating the feast. They would not take no for an answer and so I ate and danced! The man in the middle is very wealthy and owns Mediterranean Restaurants in the US. He still loves to cook for his customers and invited me to visit one of his places. We exchanged contact information and he said he would contact me some time in the future. I hope so!

This is Beni and his wife Hannah. They grew up in Israel and were fascinated by the story of how I ended up in Israel and the bracelets. They both took one and he gave me his email address to send him this picture. Sweet couple.

Singapore Christians and Jews on a boat in the Sea of Galilee. They loved the bracelets and gave me a gift and anointing oil in return. The oil has been sitting in their prayer room for the last two years where 24/7 worship takes place. Need I say more?

You can see from the photos the Lord's blessing was on the bracelets as He said it would be. Please remember to pray for the people that received the bracelets as the Lord leads you. He said Salvation would soon be coming to their households and I believe it. There is a mighty move of God stirring in the Holy Land and you and I are a part of it.

God bless and bless and bless you and your families!!!

Shalom!

Back from trip to Israel - Part 1: The Western Wall

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:36:00 +0000

Many of you remember that I sent out a post saying the Lord instructed me to provide opportunity to sow into this trip by way of prayer and offerings. I was also to take a list of all in my contact list on FB and email as well as family and friends of anyone who desired to be added. I was to take this list with me to the Western Wall and to make mention of all on the list in prayer and then leave the list of names in the wall. Well the list grew to be so big that I had to cut it into many smaller pieces to fold them up and place them in the wall. When word got out about what I was going to do the emails started coming in! I got names and offerings from people I never knew or met. It was amazing and very humbling. The Lord said to make mention of them all in prayer at the wall and leave their names there and that it would come before Him for a memorial of their prayers and offerings for me and the group I was with. The last time I read in Acts 10 that prayers and offerings when before God for a memorial it brought salvation to the Gentiles. I don't know what you need salvation from, but its coming. The attached picture I took of the wall from a distance before I went to it to pray and the second one with the pencil pointing to the location where I put your names. I found out something very cool last night at a wedding. When the prayers fall out of the cracks in the wall they are not thrown away. They are collected in a jar and buried at the Mount of Olives because that is where He is going to return to when He comes back! Wow! I also attempted to record a video clip that morning before I left for the hotel. I think they are hilarious and I will never try to do another clip when I just woke up and had less than three hours of sleep. Keep in mind that I had 16 to 18 hours days on top of that so I was extremely exhausted and it shows in the attached clips. I thought I would share them because I couldn't stop laughing so I hope they make you laugh too. Again, thank you for all your prayers and support. I know that my God will supply are your needs through His riches and glory through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Western Wall at the Temple Mount - Jerusalem (taken before names placed in wall)

Pencil marking place where names were left after praying. That space was packed tight with names!

The following videos I mentioned in earlier. After viewing them, I thought they were so funny that I wanted to share them with you. I had just woken up from about 2 to 3 hours of sleep. I overslept and was trying to hurry and do the clip before I had to attend a meeting for the guides and bus captains before we started boarding the buses and taking role call. You will see what I mean when you watch the clips. I hope they make you laugh as they did me.

A bad attempt to record a video with only 2 to 3 hours of sleep, oversleeping and missing breakfast. Then attending a meeting for guides and bus captains before boarding the bus to ensure no one is left behind. So funny.

Take 2!

Take 3!

Take 4!

Take 5 and last one! Even though I am still asleep in this clip, I think you will get the message. :)

I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed and supported this amazing and awesome journey. I am excited about going back next year and I hope that some of you will join me.

Until then, God bless and next year in Jerusalem!

I leave for Israel one week from today, 09-07-13!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 06:56:00 +0000

Leaving for Israel in 1 week!

Some you already know that I am leaving for Israel in a week. Yes, ISRAEL. I will be there for two weeks.

I am not going for vacation nor a sabbatical. I am going by the hand of God with a mission to bless the people and the land. I cannot share everything that happened to make this possible because I would have to write a book and I just might do that one day, but I do want to personally share a little about the way God made all this possible in the attached video.

After much prayer, I believe the Lord has made it clear to me that I should provide opportunity for people to sow seed into this mission trip. There will be many opportunities to sow to the people and the land, which will require finances.

One thing we will do is visit Israeli soldiers to let them know we love them and we are praying for them. It has got to be a heavy burden carry to be a young Israeli soldier, most times a teenager, and all you see in the news is the world hates you and only desires to see you and your people destroyed. Pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. I got this idea to have camouflage silicone bracelets inscribed with - Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed shall prosper! This is your heritage! - and to give them to soldiers and any Israeli/Jew that will give me the time of day. I believe I am being led to encouraged them to wear it as a reminder of the covenant God made with Abraham, and therefore, with them, to bless and protect them for all generations. Hallelujah! There are many needs the Lord will meet in the land and for the people there and it will take finances. You ask why go half way around the world to do this? Well, because God said to.

Prayers and Giving – A Memorial Before God

Acts 10:3-4 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” And when he observed him, he was afraid, and he said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.”

Your giving is a memorial before God. Pastor Tony says the seed you sow is received in heaven and becomes a memorial before God. Your dollars become “little preachers” preaching about your generosity before God continually.

I was reminded about a dream I had months ago, which I did not understand. I found myself standing in a cloud of God’s presence. Then, as it cleared slightly, I saw what looked like pillar in front of me with writing or etching resembling hieroglyphics. It was so very beautiful that it captivated me. I was in such awe as I drew close and then I noticed a beautiful aroma being release by it. End of dream

The Lord said it represented the prayers and giving of His people, to Him a beautiful sight to behold and wonderful aroma to be overcome with, and the carvings, designs and etchings were symbolic of His works and the people He did them through. Wow!

I am sharing this with you, and asking you for, your prayers while I am in Israel. Please cover the group I will accompany on this trip with your prayers.

Of the two weeks I will be in Israel, I will spend an entire day in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Lord has instructed me to print a list of every person’s name that will receive this message. I am to make a copy reduced as small as possible and take it with me to the Wailing Wall. The Lord said I am to make mention of you, your family and friends while I spend time there in prayer and I will leave the list with your names rolled tight and stuffed into one of the spaces in the wall. If you've been there personally or plan to go in the future or if you do not think you may ever get an opportunity to travel there yourself, you can know that your name was verbally mentioned in prayer there at the wall, and it was on a list of names on a sheet of paper physically placed into one of the cracks in the wall. It will represent your prayers and giving before the Lord and I am expecting Him to do something great for each one of you because He instructed me to do this. I could not have imagined to do something like this, which I think is too cool.

Please prayerfully seek the Lord and ask if He would have you give and how much. Let me be clear, I am not in any way trying to collect a fee for placing your name in the wall in Jerusalem. There is no power in that anyway. It is symbolic and my way to honor you before God while at standing on His holy ground and under probably one of the greatest portals to heaven known to man. The power lies in your obedience to God, should He instruct you to pray and/or give that will be the key to release His blessing. And because you do this, I know that my God shall supply all your needs through His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Video - Dream: Two Nuclear Bombs and America

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 14:06:00 +0000

Here is another dream I was given concerning all that is taking place in the Middle East and how it will and is affecting America. 9/11 was an attack in the natural, but there is a spiritual 9/11 on the horizon. Remember we wrestle not against flesh and blood.

Continue bathing America in prayer. Pray for our president, congress, leaders in government and spiritual leaders as Scripture instructs us to pray for them. Pray for your loved ones and keep them close to you.

God is about to do something awesome and unbelievable. Even if it were told to us we wouldn't believe it.

Hallelujah!

Video - Urgent Call to Pray for Israel

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 03:41:00 +0000

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

The Lord has placed a burden on my heart for Israel with an urgency to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I had a dream in June and I had no clue it was about Israel at the time, but the dream kept coming to mind. As I asked for understanding as to what I was to know through the dream, the Lord revealed it was about Israel and the attempt of the enemy to destroy God's people and land. As He began to give me instruction to pray, the burden came. The I am sharing this by the leading of the Lord, and His instruction to stir up His intercessors to pray. There is an assignment to cause intercessors to be sluggish, sleepy and distracted. Do not leave this to someone else. It is our time, we are called to be watchmen on the walls in this hour. The Lord said to me the intercession of His intercessors it to Israel in the spirit realm what the Iron Dome is to Israel in the natural realm. Whoa!

Zechariah 4:6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts!

Please forward this to others or sound the call yourself to those in your sphere of influence.

My prayer for you Intercessor is:

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Amen.

There Is Hope For You!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:20:00 +0000

I’ve had these verses on my mind for days now. This morning I woke up at exactly 2:44am and could not go back to sleep…just laid there wide awake until I got it. Lord? You got something on your mind?

Job 14:7-9, 14 For there is hope for a tree, when it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its shoots will not fail. Though its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the dry soil, at the scent of water it will flourish and put forth sprigs like a plant. …If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait until my change comes.

I believe the Lord is saying to us all is not lost, things are going to get better. Really.

Jesus likened people to trees remember? Matthew 7:17-18 so every good tree bears good fruit and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Now go back and read the scriptures from Job again only this time read them as if you are the tree they speak of. Viola! There is hope for you!

Remember Job is speaking in this passage. By this time he has already lost all he had except the very breath he breathed. He lost his children, livestock, material possessions and his health. It must have been a horrible sight to see because his own wife said to Job in 2:9-10 do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die! But he said to her, you speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Even Job’s friends came to see him when they heard the news of his loss. They were so traumatized by what they saw they couldn’t even speak. 2:11-13 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one come from his own place… For they made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him. And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognized him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

Be encouraged, all is not lost. All may represent something different everyone so you fill in the blank. It may seem like it is and it may look like it is, but I am speaking to you by the Spirit of God. All is not lost! No matter the situation; no matter what’s been done to you…all is not lost. I believe the Lord is saying the day is here to sprout again and be fruitful. Isaiah 60:1 Arise and shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

We can learn some lessons from Job’s experience on how we should carry ourselves in times of adversity. One, he did not sin with his lips. He knew to accept the bad with the good. He knew to always stay on God’s side even when it looked like God wasn’t on his. (We know better) Two, Job knew God was not going to leave him in this condition. We know this because of what he says in verse 14 all the days of my struggle, I will wait until my change comes.

Wow! Remember his friends were so horrified at the sight of Job’s condition that they cried out and tore their clothes. They wept and did not speak a word to Job as they sat with him for 7 days because his grief was so great, but the Bible says even in all this tragedy Job did not sin with his lips. In the greatest trial in Job’s life, when it seemed like God was nowhere around when Job needed Him the most, Job’s confession was this – All the days of my struggle, I will wait until my change comes.

He says in 13:15 Though He slay me, yet I will trust in Him.

We are all going through various trials and tests. Some are going through them by divine design and some are going through them because of bad choices, but the promise of God to us is He does not intend for us to stay in our current condition if we trust in Him. The key is in verse 14:9 at the scent of water it will flourish and put forth sprigs like a plant.

Water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Only He can resurrect what seems to be dead or cut off. Only He can heal and deliver. Only He can cause dry stony ground to become fertile soil again. Only He can cause a dried withered root to become tender again going downward and bearing fruit upward. Isaiah 37:31. The ground being our hearts.

So what’s God saying?

When you sense My Spirit moving on your heart about something, yield. Do not harden your heart, but yield to My Spirit and reward of yielding is blessing and new life coming forth bearing fruit. Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life. NKJV or Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. NLT

When the Bible speaks about the heart it usually is not speaking of the heart of flesh. It is usually speaking of the soul, which is the heart of a person, his inner most being. The soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions. So now we understand why Proverbs says we should guard our hearts, that is, guard our minds, our wills and our emotions because out of them flow the issues of life and they determine the course of our life.

So powerful.

Now we understand Job’s confession… all the days of my struggle, I will wait until my change comes. He understood the importance of guarding his heart even though the thing he feared the most had come upon him; the thing he dreaded the most happened to him 3:25. Read the rest of his story and you find it pays off for him. God blesses him with double.

Be encouraged, the passage from Job 14 is a word from the Lord to you… better days are coming, better days are here. Things are going to get better. The Lord is watching over these words to perform them. Amen.

A word to those who are not going through any kind of adversity, but seemed to be at a standstill or maybe it seems like you are losing ground for some unexplainable reason. Maybe you were experiencing a season of fruitfulness. No matter what you did, you just seemed to be multiplying in all directions. Ministry, revelations, business, family; all these areas may have been overflowing with fruit, but now it seems like nothing is happening. Be encouraged, you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve not missed the Lord. The Lord Himself is at work, pruning you in ways you know not of, that you may bear more fruit.

John 15:2 He cuts off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. NLT

Need I say more?

Father,

Help us to put a guard over our mouths while we wait for our change to come.

In Jesus’ name! Amen.

Kyle's Dream - A Call to Intercession

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 23:51:00 +0000

This is another call to intercession through a dream a good friend, Kyle Simmons, had this morning. I sense an urgency to share the dream and what I think the dream means, which is, the watchmen are not on the wall.

Brothers and sisters, we are the watchmen. We are the ones called to pray today. Please take a moment after you read this post and ask the Lord what part you play. He may need you to pray today only or He may ask you to pray daily until the burden lifts. One thing I am curtain of and that is this -

The Lord Has Need Of You. Amen.

Kyle's dream:

I knew something was coming from the sky. I was outside with some other people. All of a sudden I saw lights appearing in the sky. They were coming to the earth. And then more started appearing. They were coming down to the ground more like they were flying than coming straight down. I was in a big city with lots of buildings. When the lights hit the ground they destroyed things and they were ominous and created billows of smoke and cloud-like storm-looking clouds of grey and red. I thought we should run and find shelter. So I(we) ran to a large skyscraper and went into an open door on the back side of the building. Once inside there were no people inside or only 1 or 2. The "offices in the building almost had nothing in them, except some overturned furniture. We made it to a door that went to a slanted shingled roof. I went outside to look around and when I looked up I saw that the clouds had square shapes cut into them. as soon as I saw the shapes the spaceships appeared and I realized the spaceships were cloaked. I remember saying something and the ships uncloaked and sent an army of very large birds to the earth to capture us or kill us. We went back inside. The birds were like very large crows.
There was more in the dream, but that's all I can remember. I remember not really being afraid, and I remember praying. I think I felt bad for the people of the earth. It was like the ships were watching from above and waiting for movement or sound from people below.

Your dream is a call to intercession regarding the open windows of heaven. The square shapes being windows or portals to the second heaven where the principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, etc. are. The birds would be the spirits accessing the portals and coming to earth on assignment to conquer and destroy. The skyscraper makes me think of a tower or watchtower and/or a high place in the spirit. You said it the offices were empty except for some overturned furniture. Being that office space is where business is conducted and Jesus said I must be about My Father's business, I think it the dream is saying this.

There is an assignment of the enemy to open portals to unleash spiritual wickedness in high places to the earth realm. The intercessors which God has called to intercede and dismantle this assignment are not in the place they are supposed to be. They are not on the wall like watchmen should be, neither are they about the Father's business concerning this assignment of the enemy, but all is not lost because God is calling you to intercede bro. I believe you are to get before Him to receive instruction on how to pray and how long to pray.

The no show intercessors in the dream are not there by design of the enemy. Through assignments of distraction, division and depression/oppression, the enemy has removed them from their place before the portals could be opened to release the spirits into the earth realm. Pray for the intercessors to be delivered and positioned quickly.

Alabaster Box - I Give You Oil To Pray

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:06:00 +0000

I am anointing you to pray the things that are in heaven so that they will be on earth the same. The mantle to pray and to intercede on your behalf and on behalf of the Body My plans and My purposes for you this day and hour upon the earth is now imparted to you. I have broken the alabaster box and have poured the oil upon your heads to prepare you to do the things that I have called you to do. You have been faithful to do what you know to do in the natural and I have watched and considered your works. I call them good works. So now I will add to you a fresh anointing to pray the prayer of faith and out of the things not seen will come forth the things that are seen with the natural eye and touched with the natural hand.

It is your voice speaking My words that will activate that thing which you see and perceive in the spirit realm, but have yet to see it birthed into the natural realm. You must draw closer to Me through vehicle of prayer. It is the only way that I will reveal to you My secrets before I perform them. You must yield to the Spirit of Intercession when He calls. No longer putting off the prayer watch for another day.

Be mindful of your words for they have power to root out and pull down, to destroy and throw down the works of the enemy and even the very works birthed by your idle words. Be mindful of your words for they have the power to build and to plant My kingdom, but idle words will give access to the enemy to establish his kingdom in your lives. Speak My word at all times and it will not fall dead to the ground, but it will produce fruit. I watch over My words to perform them and to perform them on your behalf.

This anointing to pray is to pray the will of the Father and not the will of man. The will of the Father is His Word and if you know His Word and abide it and it in you, then you will know the will of the Father. You will know what the Father is doing and what the Father is saying and you will pray in My name and it will be done for you.

The angels only do the will of the Father and hearken unto His voice, the voice of His Word. They will not be moved by man's words nor are they commanded to do what is contrary to My Spirit. They excel in strength and are obedient to My Word at all times and so you should follow their example.

There is a move in the earth to remove those who will to be a voice for good and not evil. There is a move in the earth to quiet the voices of righteousness. There is move in earth to call good evil and evil good and the move has it origin in the second heaven. You cannot withstand in the natural that which cannot be handle with hands. It must be dealt with in the realm of the spirit and then the natural can be placed in order. It can only be done by the vehicle of intercession, by the mantle to pray.

Do not be moved by the enemy and his agents that seem to out number My people. Yield to intercession and your eyes will be opened to see that there are more that are for you and with you than there could ever be against you.

I have decreed a thing and it will be declared among the nations, but you must come to the secret place that only you have access to enter. You are seating with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principalities and powers and mights and dominions and every name that could ever be named. It is in the secret place where I will reveal to you the things I am doing in the earth. I am faithful to reveal it before I do it. I will not do it unless I reveal it to My prophets first that they might be My trumpets sounding the alarm. These are troubling times and days and I am sounding alarms to warn and to protect My people. I am visiting you in dreams and visions to seal your instruction in you. I do this in order to conceal you from pride and to prevent you from falling into the pit or by perishing by the sword.

I am gracious and merciful. I know your works. You must see, you must perceive, that today I have set a door before you. The door of intercession has been opened to you, My church and no one will shut it; even though you are weak and have little strength, you have purposed to keep My Word and not deny My name. Because you have purposed in your hearts to persevere, I also have purposed to keep you from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole world, to test those whole dwell on the earth.

I tell you of things to come. I tell you through the vehicle of intercession, in the secret place.

Amos 3:7-8
Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

Psalm 103:20-22
Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His Word, heeding the voice of His Word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
