Missed Opportunities & Lost Dreams

It is true that many receive and many more claim to receive revelationary visions from the Father. Yet when a revelation isn’t activated and put into action it becomes a dead vision and many are they who sit in an idle state of complacency as their visions die.

I am often left speechless when I hear someone’s vision or even that which the Father has given me, only to receive jealous responses such as “But your not the only one that God has given that vision to, I have had that vision for years before you got one” As well as other remarks coated in sarcasm.


I always praise the Lord that He has so blessed another brother or sister when I hear of a call on their lives or hear a vision pertaining to an assignment they received from the Father.

But what about the naysayers? What about those who operate with a critical spirit?

My question to them is:

Ok, what are you doing about it?

Or could you possibly have had the call removed due to your lack of action, faith, and trust in the Father’s ability to see the fulfillment of that vision come to pass?

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, TO GO into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (Gen 11:31)

It’s interesting to note that Abraham’s father Terah was actually going to the promised land (Canaan). But due to his mourning his son’s loss, he settled for the loss rather than the promised land. (Many scholars believe Terah named the land Haran as a memorial to his son)

We can this throughout history and even in our day. Many who have received a vision and or call from the Lord somewhere along the way, settled for something less, generally due to some distraction that the enemy brought into their lives. And they end up living the rest of their days in the hopeless state of remembering “What could have been”.

Holy Spirit was sharing this with me last night when He whispered;

“The Remnant Pioneers of the Kingdom will never settle for anything short of what has been promised” #SELAH

Then He went on to caution me and for me to caution others in the Remnant that many will rise up against the calling of the Lord in our lives to try and discourage us or belittle us. However, we must stand strong, stand united, and not at any point get caught up in listening to the lies and twisted logic of the wayward ones as they attempt to hijack our destinies. They are merely trying to pull others into their pitty party of misery, for in truth they are but reaping the harvest from the seeds of compromise and complacency that they’ve sown into their own lives.

Stand strong, let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus “The pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2, NIV).

20 YEARS OF SOAKING IN REVIVAL STREAMS…

I was hanging out with Holy Spirit yesterday afternoon reflecting on the past 20 years of being in Jacksonville arriving here on January 1, 2002. He began reminding me of all that has happened since then and how it was designed by the Father for my preparation for the NOW:

In 2002 after arriving at my sister Roxanne’s house, for what I had thought would be a short visit to obtain my class A driver’s license before heading back home to Maine. Within a month I found myself, rededicating my life to the Lord. A few months later I started ministry school. Shortly afterward, I met and started dating a beautiful godly woman from the Philippines. At that time she was attending Brownsville School of Revival, which led me to the opportunity to attend the Revival on a number of occasions before it ended.

In June of 2003 I married that same beautiful godly Filipino girl, and that fall I started my 2nd year of ministry school.

In June of 2004, we were blessed with the gift of a beautiful son, which the Lord showed me in a vision would be a godly man walking in His ways. In 2004 I also got ordained and my wife and I started Mighty Arm Ministries.

In 2005 I came under the mentorship of Dr, Don Lynch being groomed as part of the leadership of a powerful Apostolic international ministry with a vision of bringing revival to the nations.

In 2006 our ministry Mighty Arm Ministries launched an online ministry school, “Rushing Mighty Wind School of Ministry”.

In 2007 my wife and I were ordained by Dr. Don & Ruthanne Lynch as part of the first ordained leaders in that same ministry, Ministry Matrix. During our time under Dr. Don’s leadership, we witnessed powerful meetings filled with the presence of the Lord and we learned how to go after the things of God to see His will happen.

In 2008 Rushing Mighty Wind School of Ministry established two brick & mortar schools, one in India and one in the Philippines.

In the summer of 2009, I was invited to visit World Revival Church in Kansas City. A couple of months later in early fall, I flew out and while I was there, I was blessed to be able to visit IHOP. As well I had the opportunity to attend two nights of revival, giving my testimony at the Friday night service. I also was afforded the opportunity to attend a couple of the revival school classes.

In 2010, I was invited to be a volunteer advocate for the Florida Department of Elder Affairs

In 2011, my wife and I felt the Lord moving us in ministry in regard to ministry and after much prayer we stepped out of the leadership with Ministry Matrix, entering a time of waiting on the Lord for our next assignment. It came later that year as we found ourselves being part of a leadership team that launched Presence Church here in Jacksonville. We experienced God moving in special ways over the next couple of years.

In 2013, I accepted the position of associate pastor at Highway to Heaven Church.

Then in 2014, I received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree for my ministry work in India, the Philippines, jails, and nursing homes.

In 2015, after a number of years of studying in several different ministry schools, I received a doctorate in Theology. At the end of that year, in December I was part of the leadership that launched an Apostolic ministry in Jacksonville called “The River House” along with Doug and Jennifer Snead.

A lot happened over these first 13 years however inside I felt drained, discouraged, and had little true peace. Something was missing, I had felt the Lord’s presence on many occasions, but it had to be more than occasional. I wanted what the Disciples had, an ever-present witness to the presence of the Lord. I would soon find that the spirit of religion had somehow been able to chain me deep down in a dark spiritual prison.

In 2016, while at a ministry retreat in Saluda North Carolina, I had a powerful in-person encounter with the Lord that radically impacted and changed my life. That encounter with the Flames of His love totally undid the religious theology I had been a prisoner too, unknowingly for so many years. And on the very next day on my drive home, Holy Spirit led me to listen to a video on youtube “Damon Thompson at the Carolina Revival May 2, 2015“. It was that video that the Father used to seat me under the Apostolic teachings of Damon Thompson.


In 2018, as part of the Riverhouse leadership, we launched the North Florida healing rooms.

In our 4 years with the RiverHouse, we saw many miracles as the Father poured out His love on His children, deaf ears opened, eyesight restored, and many other healings and miracles. Almost every meeting was filled with a tangible presence of the Lord

On Valentine’s weekend of 2020, having taken a two-month sabbatical from all ministry, and after my wife’s continued encouragement to go, we went to Panama Beach to listen to Damon Thompson at the “Rock of Bay County Church”. From the moment Ana hit the first string on her violin, waves of the Father’s glory flooded the room.

At the end of the meeting, Damon called for an alter call to all who wanted to be refreshed. I was one of the first to charge upfront. After standing there for a few moments with my head bowed, I felt this huge hand slam into my chest followed by the words “The Father wants to refresh His fire in you” and wham, the fire of God began to flow throw every cell of my body. A few days later I watched the video, and even though I thought I recognized his voice, saw that it was pastor Bryn Waddell who had prayed for me.

Two weeks later I started volunteering full-time at a local mission in Jacksonville beach after a week or so in prayer following an invitation of a sister in the Lord, Dawn Hare to check the place out.

On August 6th of 2020, my son and I visited Cane Ridge on the 219th anniversary of the outpouring of the Lord there which is believed to have been one of the sparks that made way for the 2nd Great Awakening. Upon leaving Cane Ridge after several hours of praying there, Holy Spirit said the Father had commissioned me to disciple disciples in the same way His Son did. Then about 3 weeks after returning home I was invited to become the director at Beaches Rescue and Recovery Mission.

And finally in 2022 after resigning as the director at the mission, I accepted the position of Senior Pastor at Highway To Heaven Church.

Feeling completely blessed right now. Especially seeing the streams of revival that the Father has seated me in since 2002. I am filled to overflowing with a deep & increasing hunger to see His Kingdom being established in this city and America in the now. I feel almost on edge of something great with Spiritual anticipation for the Revival Fires of Reformation which have been purposed with an eternal destiny for such a time as this are about to break out.

Over the past 20 years, Holy Spirit has been whispering to me about the Remnant, ever since the first time, I heard Dr. Don Lynch teachings about the subject. Over the past several months He has been getting louder and He has been showing me that the Remnant shall be those who carry the flaming torches of Revival Flames of Reformation, through the night while the complacent compromised Church sleep. And blessed will those be those hear the flames and are able to wake up, repent and become prepared.

For those who slumber shall see their candles removed, for the profane vanity of their religion will cause them to miss out on the greatest revival this world has ever seen….”Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”. (Rev 2:5)

He has also been speaking to me about the establishing of the discipleship community to where I can through the leadership of Holy Spirit, disciple men using the same methods that Jesus used to disciple His disciples. This community will be set on a piece of land with the ability to grow gardens. Holy Spirit has shown me how this will provide powerful visuals when teaching the parables. Not only that, these gardens are purposed as well to the feeding many.

The property will also have buildings that can house 12 – 20 men. With the whole property be established in prayer to having a sound atmosphere supercharged with His presence equipping each discipler in the methods of Jesus in order to train each man into becoming a Mountain Moving Disciple. This mandate from the Lord is so real to me that there are times I can feel the ground of this property under my feet, hear the animals singing their daily praise to Heaven, and literally smell the air of the land bursting with the fragrance of fresh fruit & vegetables

And all I can say is:

“Here I am Father, sitting still in Your presence with a heart-filled commitment in total surrender with a willingness to do all that you ask of me, I haven’t come this far to stop, for my heart belongs to you alone and no matter what the devil throws at me I shall not change paths nor turn back. To You be the Glory, Honor & Praise, Amen”

Representing the True Son of God, Jesus the Christ

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:13-20, NKJV)

I believe that one of the major short-comings of modern-day evangelism is that people are being enticed to follow Jesus based on what He can do for them rather than being introduced to Jesus Himself – Jesus alone is enough (why so many quickly fall away, not being truly converted) #SELAH

Jesus brought the following charge against the Church in Ephesus in Revelations chapter 2:4 “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love”.

And I feel as though much of the modern day Church, especially in America has done the same. For if those who are truly saved, have been saved in a large part due to the fact that they fell head over heels in love with Jesus. I know I did in 2016, before that, I was in love with the Americanized version of the “whose got talent” Jesus that came with the coveted get out of hell free card. The truth is, I spun out of control over and over again for a number of years.

However, after my encounter with the true Jesus on March 29, 2016 during a ministry retreat in Saluda North Carolina, my eyes began to be opened, and my heart beacme swelled to overflowing capacities with a deep rich, love for the Son of God. It was only then, having my spiritual eyes opend that Holy Spirit began to show me about my false conversion. How it was not really love, that I was not truly following Jesus as my Lord,  especially when I would become so filled with anger when He wouldn’t do “what I demanded of Him”.

Today I can but shout YAY GOD, for Jesus alone is enough for me . Even if the world began crumbling all around me (and there has been times over the past 6 years that it has felt as though it was), simply knowing that He is my Savior, and the reality of knowing that He truly loves me is more than enough.

In his book “The practice of the Presence of God”, Brother Lawrence wrote how he once said to the Lord, “Even if you don’t save me, I will still love you”. That my friends is true love!!!

For to truly fall in love with someone is when you love them simply for “who they are”, not because of what they have or what they can do for you. Let’s be real for a moment, if you love someone based on what you get out of the deal, it is in reality a self centered love and in all honesty, is not real. Such love will quickly burn out once one finds that the other person can no longer meet your needs (greeds).

Brothers and sisters, we must return to the foundations of our faith and fully trust in the POWER of the Cross and the Gospel message of Jesus combined with the anointing of Holy Spirit to reach the lost. The Gospel message needs no help for it fully contains everything necessary to attract, cleanse and fully transform any individual who puts all their trust in Christ as their Savior.

It’s time to stop promoting and trying to sell the mythological Jesus created by Western theology and modern day celebrity preachers, and return to presenting the Christ of the Bible, the One true Son of God. For then and only then shall we begin to enter into the Great Harvest and start seeing the Lost coming into the Light of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

We need to receive and live out of the Revelation that Paul received when he wrote “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

I believe with all my heart, having a deep holy conviction that when we, the Remnant, grasp hold of the revelation of the power of the Gospel in truth, it will only be then that we shall begin witnessing what Paul and the other disciples who preached the true Gospel in the power of Holy Spirit witnessed “For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;” ( 1 Thessalonians 1:9).

Father, I pray that You will pour out Your Spirit upon Your Remnant today, removing any and all religiosity off from them and Baptism them afresh in the FIRE of Pentecost. Awaken them and send them out to begin harvesting the Great fields of lost souls, and also empower them as to the return this nation, America, back to You that we may as a nation fulfill Your purpose in this hour, and doing ALL to the Glory, Honor and Praise of the Godhead, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen

A different kind of discipleship

“He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

There are two Universal Spiritual Principles found in John 3:30 that express two very fundamental truths.

First, that Christ must increase.

This is a principle that most Christians can agree with.

Are there any Christians who do not desire more of the Lord?

Are there any believers who do not long for a greater expression and revelation of Christ – in their personal walk, as well as in the world around them?

It is easy to align ourselves with this principle and pray in agreement with God’s Will – that Christ would be increased, and that the knowledge of Him would continue to grow and expand.

What is more difficult to affirm is the decrease of Self.

Yet this principle is as powerful and as sure as the first.

With more of Christ, there is less of me.

With more of me, there is less of Him.

And so, in order to cooperate with the first principle, we must overcome the “but” that stands between the two. “He must increase, but…”

Something hinders.

What gets it the way?

What prevents the increase of Christ?

It is me – or more accurately, the “I”, or the “Self” keeps getting in the way. And so, “I must decrease.”

The Disciple’s Journey

The Self-Life resists the Christ-Life.

The Holy Spirit seeks to increase Christ, while the human spirit seeks to increase Self.

We can have either one, but we cannot have both.

As Christ is increased, Self is decreased.

As Self is increased, Christ is decreased.

We begin our journey through life in a self-centered existence instead of a Christ-centered existence.

This is why we must be “born again.”

To be born again is to interrupt the self-centered pattern of our lives and open us up to the possibility of taking a different route and living a different life – a life that is Christ-centered instead of Self-centered.

Until this happens, it is impossible to love God and love our neighbor.

These two great commands are impossible to those who maintain a healthy connection to their Self-Life.

Loving others is impossible for ones who mostly love themselves.

This is the way of the world.

The way of a disciple of Jesus is a different way.

It is a way that cuts at the heart of self-love by making it possible for us to rise above Self-centeredness through Christ-centeredness.

Jesus describes it as a difficult, narrow way that few find.

Why is it so difficult? Because it strikes to the very core of who and what we are.

Even our very desire to follow Jesus can be self-centered.

Of course, we want to serve God; but we also hope to get a little something for ourselves.

Many people are drawn to the Lord with mixed motivations.

For example, the promise of a home in heaven is very appealing, as is avoiding the fires of hell.

But the Self-life is revealed in these subtle expressions that often appear spiritual and religious.

To follow Jesus for nothing other than the love of Jesus is the way of the disciple.

It is true that many follow Him imperfectly, and do so for many different reasons that they cannot fully explain or understand.

Fortunately for us, Jesus does not demand sinless perfection from the ones who follow Him.

His disciples make many mistakes and they often stumble and fall. Nor does Jesus require that we be spiritually mature and perfectly free from our Self-Life before He accepts us as disciples.

Dealing with the Self-Life is part of His discipleship program.

The very act of following Him begins a process that, if followed all the way to the end, results in what I call being reduced to Christ.

What does this mean? It means that when I began to follow the Lord, I may have had all kinds of motivations for doing so, and many of those motivations were self-serving and self-centered.

My very existence was rooted and strengthened by my Self-Life. But as I follow Him, and as He increases, more and more I find my self-centered ways being stripped away.

I find the power of Christ increasing within me, and I also find the power of Self is decreasing. With this process working simultaneously to increase Christ and decrease me, I find my motives are becoming more and more singular.

I am no longer following Jesus for what I hope to get out of it. Even my “mansion in heaven” does not seem so important anymore.

My many needs I find are not as urgent as they once were.

My many questions are not as essential as I once thought they were.

I have fewer questions, and so I require fewer answers.

Where I used to be troubled and vexed and concerned and stressed over “many things” it is becoming easier to focus on the “one thing” that is needed.

Christ is increasing, and everything else is decreasing.

My life, my purpose, my focus, my very existence is being condensed from many paths in pursuit of many things so that I am becoming more and more narrowly focused upon one thing.

Paul expresses it perfectly: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).

Is this the hour of the sons of God manifestation?

I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us.

The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!

For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin.

But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. (Romans 8:18-21, The Passion Translation)

Is this the Hour of manifestation….

Jesus came into this world to impart to us an inheritance that nothing in the cosmos can compare to. For with the same passionate desire that the Father sent Him in, so is it His desire to see everyone of His disciples sent.

That is, having been sent impregnated with the power & supernatural reality of His Kingdom manifesting in and through us.

He gave His life for this and trained His disciples to fully take possession of every single thing He conquered on our behalf.Time to return to discipling as did Jesus…

Jesus poured Himself into His disciples to ensure they understood the realities of His Kingdom.

They in turn taught those whom they discipled with the same passionate desire to where the first century Church not only understood it, they walked in the supernatural Kingdom realities.

Over the centuries, the spirit of religion has woven its bewitching doctrines into the Church, robbing the Father’s children of the truth pertaining to their inheritance leading up to this present hour to where the Church is pretty much sterile, lacking the Revelation seeds to continue reproducing Heaven’s realm here on earth.

Yet Glory to God, Holy Spirit is now calling out to the Remnant with the orders from the Throne of the Eternal King, now is the hour to awaken My bride!!!

Are you too hearing the sound? Is your Spirit man becoming more active with an unction to regain the rightful place of leadership within your being?

There are pockets of His Remnant gathering around the globe including right here in the United States.

If your seeking a place with the freedom to be the unique you that the Father purposed you to be from before the foundations of the world and live in the North Florida region.

You’ll want to come and check out our Spirit & Fire Night’s at the Seawalk Hotel located at 117 1st Ave N, Jacksonville Beach Florida.

We gather each Saturday Night in the courtyard starting at 5:00 pm

(This week it will be held on Sunday starting at 4:00 pm for the 4th of July celebration)

Hope to see you there, come with a hungry heart filled with the anticipation to experience the supernatural, for Heaven has been joining in and each week the sound of Heaven is shaking the gates of hell as the Father is about to tear them down.

(We also have teachings Monday – Thursday Nights in the training room which is the storefront closest to the beach at the mission located at the Sea walk Hotel. The teachings run from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm, All are welcome)

The example of Jesus

The Example of Jesus Christ…..He existed in the form of God, yet he gave no thought to seizing equality with God as his supreme prize. Instead he emptied himself of his outward glory by reducing himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human! He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion! Philippians 2:6-7, The passion translation

Many need to read this, meditating upon it with Holy Spirit opening their eyes to it.

A personal reflection…

One day a Holy conviction shook my heart. Holy Spirit pointed out how I was chasing the recognition, respect and honor of man – basically seeking my own glory.

He showed me how I had spent years studying the fundamentals of the Church i.e. it’s traditions, rituals & culture, not to glorify God the Father rather to draw attention to how knowledgeable I was.

In reality I had become very heart hardened religious fool, an unknowing puppet in the evil ones hands.

I would pray loud long prayers not to bring healing or deliverance to people rather to draw attention to how great I was at praying.

I am so thankful that the Father loves me enough to bring correction and discipline when needed.

My whole desire today is to draw people’s attention to look upon the Lord, for He alone is able to rescue them, to bring healing & deliverance.

He alone is worthy of all the Praise, Honor & Glory!!!

Now, having been captivated by the spirit of religion for so many years, I can recognize it quickly, I can even smell it’s ugly evil presence.

This can be good or be bad, depending on whether one chooses to walk in a high level of mercy.

Or one can incorrectly sit and remain eating from the tree of of the knowledge of good & evil or choose to eat from the tree of life.

Learning from the example Jesus lived as us, I am so thankful & walk daily dependant upon Holy Spirit guidance to remind me it is not the person rather it is the spirit that is holding them in the same prison that it held me in for twelve + years ref 2 Corinthains 10:4, Ephesians 6:12.

Where are the warriors of Light

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. (Isaiah 60:1-4, KJV)

It should not be any wonder as to the moral decay of this nation when you have an American Church that is Hell bent on complaining about everything from the what new worship leader dresses like all the way to who should have won the recent “Voice” contest on T.V.


Whereas the first century Church was wired to pray that the city would be won for Christ, and let us lift up so and so’s family as the father was dipped in oil lit on fire last night for being a follower of Jesus.


We have a nation where the ranking of their favorite football team drowns out the cry of the innocent ones being traded as sex slaves in the shadow of our cities or being murdered in the safety of their mothers womb.


Where are the all night prayer vigils being held, where families gather and rend the Heavens for the lost in their city?


We will get into deep debates on who should hold such and such political office, yet our streets, schools, cities and whole regions are being led into deeper and deeper spiritual darkness.


It’s time for the Bride to not only wake up, but to also Light-up and become who she has always been destined to be, a people who crush spiritual strongholds, and push the realms of darkness out of the neighborhoods, cities and entire regions.


It’s time to stop putting their money into hidden boxes or into the systems of this world hoping to hit the lottery of retirement plans and start investing into the fight on the front lines, into Kingdom stations where lives are really being transformed.


It’s time that the Bride become the Master of financial systems that bring Glory to God rather than be slaves to a worldly economic system which imprisons people to be at their mercy.


If the world were dependant upon the army of God in this nation to defend her from the invasion of the armies of darkness, well we would be in the crisis as a nation such as we are right now!!!

Th is nation needs to see a rise of the burning ones, whose tongues aren’t bridaled by the fear of man rather they are emboldened to speak the truth regardless of the cost. Jesus has asked not one of His followers to surrender to the fear of man. In fact His teachings lead us to a different direct – “You white washed tombs who have all the appearance of being clean to the outsiders, but those with Kingdom eyes bear wintess to your being dead on the inside”( Matthew 23:27 my own translation). “You brood of vipers” (Matthew 12:34-37), “You sons of Satan – you children of the Father of lies” (John 8:44). These are all words from the King of Glory’s mouth.

I am not afraid of man nor the opinions of man. I speak the truth as I see with the hopes of waking up the sleeping army of God. It is not a day in which we can have the luxury of being politically correct. There is the life of a nation and another generation at stake.

If you live in the Jacksonville Florida area I invite you to come to one of the training sessions at the Beaches Rescue & Recovery Mission, especially the 6:00 – 7:00 pm ones going on Monday – Thursday nights.

Or join us on Saturday evening’s from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm in the courtyard. For here you will not only hear but also see what the power of the True Gospel does to an individual whose surrendered their lives to followin the way of Jesus.

There is a mandate on this mission to raise up demon stomping, Mountain Moving Disciples who have been discipled in the teaching of Jesus Christ and His Aposltes in the New Testament.

The Strongman Called Offense

Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me. (John 4:30, TPT)

Jesus didn’t have any spiritual strong men of the enemy taking up residence in His soul. Lets take a quick look at the spirit of offense…Now, if we were to put the spirit of offense in the catagory of spiritual “strongmen” we can then see how he brings other strongmen with him such as anger, false judgement and unforgiveness. Then they all take captive the individuals soulish realm to where they are prisoners, having their emotions placed in spiritual chains.

This can either be a short term hostage senario if the individual comes to see what has taking place and repents (takes on the manner of thinking in which Jesus lived His life here, thinking only the thoughts as to what the Father thinks) and through the door of forgiveness they are able to escape this spiritual prison.

If repentance doesn’t happen, then the individual can well be imprisoned soulishly through their emotions for years. To the point that their growth and destiny is at a stand still until the Light of Truth exposes their unforgiving heart. Then once true repentance has taking place and Holy Spirit is given permission by that individual to evict them, then they are set free once again.

Once this happens we must be on guard and leave this area ( and all areas) of our soul surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus so that the strongman doesn’t return with even more in his attacking party.

I had a dream last night in which an individual came to our home. When I opened the door, the individual seemed familiar but I could not remember their name. The individual started telling me all about everything in the news, the election, nation and world.

I started feeling uncomfortable and asked them their name. The individual sat back and smiled. I asked their name again, and with the smile still on their face, the individual smiled and said “It’s me, your old friend fear”.

After the name was spoken I woke up. Spent some time in communion with Holy Spirit and was filled with peace. I feel lead to share the following:

So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give………Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! (Romans 8:31-33, 37, TPT)

Don’t fall for the enemy’s tactic of releasing the “spirit of fear” as a weapon against the Saints this year. All the hype of the “New administration” attack against Christians, whether it be a illegitimate or legitimate administration it has “No power” nor any “weapon” that can prosper against the faithful.

Since the Resurrection of our Lord the enemy has sought to snuff us out and the Bride has gone through darker days and we’re still here.

So rather than run and hide in fear, let us rise up United in cause and shine brighter than we’ve ever shined before – for we not only serve a Victorious King, we have inherited a “Overcoming – Victorious – Conquering” D.N.A.

We are more than a “Little Light” We are the Light in Christ which shall light up the nations with the un removable, undisputable revelation knowledge of the Glory of our Lord.

Having put on the FULL ARMOR of God, let us be on the offensive welding the Power of Peace, Mercy & Grace. Let us stand firm in our Faith, releasing the mighty weapons of Righteousness, casting down and nullifying every evil agenda spoken against the Bride of Christ.

Let us release the weaponized missiles of prayer which is are in agreement with Heaven according to the promises of our inheritance of dominion authority, calling for His Kingdom the come, and His perfect will to be established, destroying every stronghold of darkness which seeks to silence the voice of Heaven.

Let us look forward to the next four years as that which we shall make the Name of Jesus known from coast to coast, that every inch of the White House and congress will be bathed in the Holy all consuming Presence of our Father which is seated for all eternity upon the Throne of Righteousness!!!

KEEPING SIGHT OF WHAT MATTERS MOST

Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)

God’s kingdom is lived from the perspective of heaven, not earth. That’s why Jesus said, “Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).

What far too many Christians do is mix a little of God with a lot of the world. Is this something that you have done? Have you wound up experiencing less of God because His kingdom is not of this world? When you bring the world into the Word, you are asking the King to bless something that His kingdom is not a part of, and He won’t do it.

If you lose sight of the kingdom, God’s perspective gets lost and you start focusing on the tangible and temporal things in life. When that happens, your judgment begins to be skewed and your decisions become shortsighted. Rather than living out your destiny and purpose, you may end up with wasted time, effort, energy, and emotions.

Yet when God’s kingdom is prioritized, you get to see heaven both rule and overrule in your life. You will witness God trump circumstances and people that you thought had the last word. Only God has the last word. You get to experience Him at a whole other level when you experience Him as King.

For His Kingdom.

Tony Evans

REFLECTION: How can a Christian prioritize God’s Word and His kingdom? How can we experience earth from a heavenly perspective? Where are earthly circumstances over- whelming your own vision and blocking your view of God? How can you change this?

Father, I want to experience You as King in my life. Reveal to me where I am looking to the world’s way rather than Your way in my thoughts, decisions, and actions. Help me to align all of these underneath Your Word so that I can benefit from the covering of Your covenant and kingdom. In Christ’s Name, Amen.
