March Forward! If there is one word to describe what we need to do...that is "March." Forward motion will open the doors in front of you and close the doors behind. "As you go" things will open. Don't sit down or give up right now. The enemy's plans are to get you discouraged and quit, but God is sending help and angelic reinforcements. The first three months of 2014 have been a testing time. Many people have taken themselves out of the game but it is not time to back down. It is time to keep moving forward!!! God is promoting people who are able to overcome, remain humble and engaged. http://www.openheaven.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=45921&PN=1 THRU IT ALL THRU IT ALL I'VE LEARNED TO TRUST IN JESUS I'VE LEARNED TO TRUST IN GOD THRU IT ALL...I'VE LEARNED TO DEPEND UPON HIS WORD SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: http://ft111.com/ There are plenty of reasons for you to see your life as less than perfect or even very bleak, but I want you to realize that your pilgrimage in the world is temporary. You have heard the phrase "hope springs eternal", and I want to assure you that I have given you the ability to rise up in hope regardless of your circumstances. But, you must choose to trust Me and have faith in My ability to bring you through every difficulty. Position yourself to be an overcomer and believe in Me more than you believe your hardships, says the Lord. I am with you in all things. Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. by MARSHA BURNS: Do not despair when things are hidden from your sight or beyond the scope of your understanding. This is a time to trust Me with all things because nothing is hidden from Me, says the Lord, and I am your strength and your shield. It is My power that undergirds you. I will reveal the truth of every situation in due time. Establish yourself in peace. Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." |

If Your Family Walks Away by Lonnie Mackley 17 Mar. 2014 LK 12: 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against tw... O and two against three. LK 14: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. With this new spiritual move that God is doing in the earth, it is causing a separation especially between family members that really serve the Lord through the Spirit, and those who are merely religious and who don't understand or like where God is taking you. So you have probably noticed in the last few years that certain family members have been saying goodbye for no good reason. The Lord has been allowing this division to take place between you and them because He knows that the enemy will try to use these non- Spirit enlightened people to try to pull you away from His direction once His power starts flowing. So like Abraham, we too must let our Ishmael's go now. MT 8:22 But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." MK 3: 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." God knows that you have poured your love and goodness into these people for years, and how much it hurts to lose them; but unfortunately just like Judas in the bible they have the potential of betraying you (if they haven't already) and really pulling you off course and distracting you. If you are one of these people that have lost family recently, then just pray for them and leave them in God's hands. Consider this, God may have to judge these people if they interfered too much with what the Holy Spirit was doing to help people through you. Besides, there is a new spiritual family waiting for you ahead; and in time as God works, He may restore those you have lost once again. PS 68:6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. MT 19: 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. |

Don’t look at things from a worldly perspective. I know it’s hard not to in times like these where your soul is tormented daily like Lot’s with all that is in the news and around you. It is so easy to feel defeated. But don’t rely on your feelings beloveds. CAST off the feelings of despair and discouragement and heaviness the enemy is trying to throw on you. CHOOSE the path of FAITH. DECLARE THE TRUTH to him. Use your sword. I gave it to you as a weapon to wield against him and his hordes. The Lord says, come unto Me and allow Me to release My glory once again. I will anoint those dry areas with My fresh oil. Just as the precious oil, upon the head of Aaron, that ran down his beard, to the edge of his garments, I will release My oil over My body. Allow Me to lubricate that which has become dry and brittle. Allow Me to breathe upon and resuscitate those things in your life that have died. Don't be disheartened by what you see in the natural, because these things will come back to life as I pour My anointing on you. I will replenish those areas that have been dehydrated and desolate, and revive the areas that have been barren. Throw off the weight of discouragement. Surely I will move once again in a mighty way in your midst. This dry spell will cease and My glory will bring refreshing upon you and wash away all burdens. I will visit you in your quiet time. I will release My glory in your prayer time. I will release revelation in your study time. I will visit your homes and churches once again. " You are going to begin to see the "bigger picture" now and will also begin to experience Me in new ways, that will surprise and delight you. So, I say, Do not be discouraged this day. For this is truly a new day of reaping and fulfillment of My promises, Beloved. Rest in My grace and unfailing love and expect Me to do what I have faithfully promised. " " The prayer of My righteous saints are effective in this hour. Do not allow all that the enemy is doing to deceive you, dissuade you, nor discourage you. Come to Me with joy and singing. This is the day of a New Song which will cause the armies of the enemy to flee. Keep your eyes upon Me and on your assignments for this hour. For I am with you today and all those who are seeking after Me in prayer. Did I not say that the fervent prayers of the righteous avail much and have great effective power?" So it shall be. |

John Belt: Awakening Your Appetite For God's Presence Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Have you ever been in a place where things just don't seem to be moving? There may be times when you feel like you have lost connection with the Lord, having a hard time discovering that intimate place with Him. There are a few things that you can do to help get things back on track. The first thing you can do to get yourself "tuned in" to God's presence is to do nothing. That is right. The first thing you need to do is "nothing." 1. The Absence of Something Psalm 35:13 ...I humbled myself with fasting; and my prayer would return to my own heart. This particular "nothing" I'm referring to here is the absence of something. David discovered that when he removed some food from his belly prayer returned to his heart. Sometimes we just need to re-establish communication. It may not take all that much fasting to bring you into a place of sensitivity to His presence. Sometimes we just get in a pattern of eating just for the sake of eating. Breaking that pattern to focus on the Lord can be just the thing you need to help give you a breakthrough in His presence. It may just be one meal, or a day (see Mark 2:20). The key here is that you realize that it is not just the absence of food but the desire to be with God that will cause things to shift. Let your spirit awaken. Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart. 2. Create Atmosphere When you skip your meal(s), make sure to incorporate times of worship, vocalizing your love for God. There is nothing more powerful than creating an atmosphere that exemplifies "Heaven on earth." Find a room in your house, and begin soaking in God's presence; take time to create that heavenly atmosphere. When we welcome the Holy Spirit to fill our house, He comes and washes us, cleansing all of the spiritual debris away. When we make the Lord our dwelling place, we will create an atmosphere in every aspect of our lives where He is welcome. When He is our dwelling place, He makes His home with us. Psalm 91:9-10 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. 3. Read, Write, Muse While you are creating this atmosphere, try to make a comfortable place for yourself. Get your Bible. Remove all your preconceived thoughts. Then ask the Holy Spirit to show you what topic, word, Scripture, or book He would have you read and meditate on. Grab your pen and paper and be ready for the Lord to speak to you. Ask God to give you His heart, wisdom, revelation, and understanding. Be open to whatever God would show you. It may be something that is completely practical, an inspiring idea, or such. Sometimes He will give us things that we would think, "Oh, this is not spiritual." But in reality it is, because He is speaking it to you. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. We need to remember that God created all things. He is the most creative Person. Creative ideas will come when you get in contact with the Creator. Get tapped into the creative nature of God. Allow His Spirit to "inspire you." As well, there will be some things you will need to write down for later, things to do, and etc. Write them down and come back to them after your time so that you can rest and focus in His presence. Take time to "receive" what He is wanting to give to you. Unless we receive from Him, we have nothing to give.
