Go Forward

Dave Howe

My People - Go Forward - Yes preach My Word unto the people on the streets.

Do not fear - Do not fear their faces - Do not fear their gods - Do not fear their threats - Do not fear Goliath.

Do not fear those who can kill the body but fear The Lord Thy God only - For the fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.

For the Weapons I have given unto you have power to demolish every stronghold in the name of Jesus - Have power to take captive every thought - Every word - Every deed that comes against you my people -For My Word is all-powerful.

Go forward my people go forward into the victory of The Cross - For it was upon the Cross that I won the victory over fear - death and sin for all eternity - Won the victory for you.

Go forward - Yes march forward in the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For it will be with a demonstration of the Spirits power that the people will be won. For signs will follow the preaching of My Word -For My Word will not return to me without first accomplishing what I sent it out to do.

Go forward my people - Do not fear the seasons or signs in the heavens or upon the earth - But rejoice in the Lord and show the people that their only hope is in Christ Jesus.

Yes Go forward my people GO FORWARD for the day of the Lord is upon the earth.

Examine Your Hearts

Yolanda Ballard

In the midst of the fire there is rain. I have been calling you to draw closer to Me so that I may pour out upon you My glory, but you stay outside of My courts of grace. Why do you only come so far and then turn away from Me? Why do you not come fully to My throne of grace for I have an abundance of blessings I want to pour out upon you? This is the day of My latter rain outpouring, and I want all of My people to partake of My giftings and take them to those I gave My life for....those who do not yet know Me.

Did I not say that you would do greater works than I because I go to My Father? Then why do you doubt My faithfulness to perform all that I said I would do in My word? I want you to come boldly to My throne of grace and ask favor of Me and expect Me to move on your behalf. I want you to trust Me unceasingly no matter what you face in the natural. Do not trust in what you see with your eyes because these things can be deceiving for the enemy deals in the natural sense realm. You are My people and you are to walk by faith and not by sight. For if you come out from behind your shield of faith, the enemy will hit you with his fiery darts, and he will pierce your heart where you will struggle to gain back your ground. Look towards Me the author and finisher of your faith and waver not in doubt and unbelief.

Don't you know that I take you through the fire to purify you and to strengthen you so that you may stand in the evil day when the enemy comes to sift you like wheat to see where you stand. Are your words and your confessions like gold or are they like wood, hay and stubble which can be burned up. Well that is what I am out to find out. Are you able to stand when I turn up My fire? Will you stand boldly when I turn up the oven seven times. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego I was there with them in the flames and they escaped unharmed.

Yes, this is the day of My latter rain outpouring, and I will move through vessels that have been purified like gold. Yes, I will only move through pure vessels for I will not share My glory with no man. And yes, this is the day of My greater works ministry, and many signs and wonders will be done in My name that no man can deny will be of Me. But I want you to be ready. I don't want any of My people left out standing on the outskirts of My glory. I want all My children to partake of the great move of My Spirit. For yes, My glory, the river of My love, will flow across this land like a mighty tidal wave. It will destroy all that isn't of Me. All that repel My love will be taken away into eternal judgment for I am a just God and I am a mighty warrior. And even though I am long suffering, there comes a day when My wrath will overflow upon the unjust servants of disobedience.

So I tell you this day to examine your hearts to see if what you are doing is truly of Me. I gave you a conscience that you may walk in My will, and if you turn away from My still small voice, your heart will be hardened. Beware of the deceitfulness of riches and the pride of man. The pleasures of the moment are not worth losing your heavenly inheritance in Me. Your rewards you receive from man will not last. So do not rob Me of My glory any longer for it will snow ball into that which you can't escape.

I am speaking to those who sell My riches to those I gave My life for. Did I not say that what you freely receive of Me, freely you are to give to others? Then why do you sell that which is Mine for ungodly fees? I am abhored by this for I turned the money tables before and I will do it once again. This is a warning that you may escape My wrath before it is too late. Wake up to the snare that you are in. Escape the trap by crying out for My grace and My mercy for this is the day of My judgment. And I will first judge My church.

Humble yourself before Me and I will lift you up. Yes, I said I would pour out My fire but it is the fire of My love, but I will also pour out My rain. Who I love I chastise for I am your Father God, and I will do a quick work for you must be ready before it is too late. I admonish you. Yes, I even rebuke you. I want to wake you and shake you to the seriousness of the hour. There is no time left to play games and to do your own thing in My name. Give Me your all and I will transform you into vessels of glory meet for your Master's use. So accept My words in love and repent and return unto Me, says your God.

Prayer Warriors

Jane Larsen

Make way. Make way for the warriors of the Lord. I am sending you into the battlefield and I am making a straight path. Hear the thunder of the marching feet as I send my warriors into battle; into gaps; into war zones. You are equipped. You have been tested by fire. You are ready. I am proclaiming you ready. March on.

I make a way when there is no way. I sound the battle cry. The trumpet has been blown. March, mighty soldiers. March on.

Use my name. In the name of Jesus take back that which the enemy has stolen. In the name of Jesus declare freedom, declare love, declare salvation, for great is He who sends you out.

I am sending you into fields and valleys, meadows and deserts. Do not fear the arrow that flies by day for I have equipped you with spiritual weapons. I have sent Angels before you. Is there one mightier than me? Is there anything I cannot do? Any mountain I cannot demolish? I am the maker of Heaven and Earth. I stand victorious. I stand in your midst. I send you out.

Are their any who will leave their homes to march into unknown forests. Will you walk into the desert though you do not yet know the taste of the heat? Will you walk into the meadows that are green yet black in my sight, and lay hold of the land in my name.

Make way, I say, Make way. The prayer warriors of the Lord are marching to war. Great is the victory of him who marches in my name. Great is the victory of him who walks in truth. Great is the day of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth. Gather together and go. I have called you. I have made myself known to you now I send you out.

Call upon me, I will deliver. Call upon me I will strengthen. Call upon me I will hear. Call upon the name of the Living God. I live in your midst. Fear not nor tremble. Great is he who stands in the presence of the Lord God Almighty and takes refuge in me

My Beautiful Bride

Brian Tunstall

Watch My beautiful bride, says the Lord. Keep your eyes on My beautiful bride. Watch what they do. Watch what I do in them. Watch what I do in this beautiful lady in this earth. Watch the glory that comes upon her.

Watch what I am about to do. For My bride has tucked away her garment. She has put it away as if it was a keepsake. She cried out to Me, Why do I not have power? And I have sent My prophets to tell her to put on her gown. Put on your gown, for your bridegroom is coming. Be prepared and be waiting for He is coming. And My bride is listening. My bride is hearing. And she is taking her garment out of her bag and she is putting it on and coming into the fullness of what it means to wear that garment. For that garment is righteousness. That garment is peace. And that garment is joy in the power of the Holy Ghost. And My church shall now become the garment. For all the garment represents shall become My people and shall become My kingdom. For My people are coming into a place of wearing the garment and no longer feeling unworthy to wear it. But they are now rejoicing, and they are now rejoicing. Their eyes have been opened and I am showing them that all the garment is theirs. And they are understanding. They are understanding. Watch what I do. Watch what I do in My body. Watch what I do to My bride.

No eye has seen nor has ear heard the things that I shall do upon this earth in My Bride saith the Lord

Confuse Your Enemy

Ras Robinson

Confuse your enemy and do not receive confusion unto yourself. You are not designed or created to work and live in confusion. I want you to be single minded and clear in your mind and thinking. Pray and intercede to me the secrets of your heart and the intention that I have declared unto you. Your focus is to be on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. And as you do this, confusion will leave. Remind me of my vision for you. Recall to mind the great promises I have made. Pray my will for all those around you. Your prayer closet is your weapon to bring confusion into the enemy camp. Confuse the enemy so that he will not confuse you. Put the enemy on the run. I know all things but he does not. So pray to me in secret according to my will and I will do it. Now may confusion be upon your enemy and clarity come to you. Confuse your enemy and do not receive confusion unto yourself.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Psalm 71:1

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. James 3:16

Warfare Dream

Denise Lagrimas

Dream 1:
--------

I realized that I had been fighting in my sleep all night. I had been dreaming of multitudes of men and women in camouflage clothing wielding swords, not guns. They were in intense battle with an unseen enemy (At least I did not see them...yet). I heard the words "He who dwells in the secret place shall abide under the shadow of the almighty He shall take cover under my wings and I shall shield him from the wiles of the enemy". I saw many who became weary from battle turn and drop to their knees, then it was as if a great wing came from the heavens and engulfed (covered) them. Soon they would appear again rested and ready for battle.

As I watched this unfold I heard my name and I received what appeared to be papers (like orders) and I went into this large temple like room and when I came out I too had on camouflage. And as I left the door I received a huge golden sword (actually gold on one side silver on the other.) When I arrived at the battlefield a huge soldier came over to me and put an oil-like liquid on my eyes and at first they went cloudy but as the scenery became clear I could see the enemy. I knew where to wield the sword and which side to swing up with. On the enemies forehead was written its name I saw the names hatred, gossip, perfectionism, pride, solitude, and bitterness, idolatry, self gratification, jealousy, low self-image and foolish talk.

As I battled I asked the Lord why I had to fight so many. I said the enemy has an endless army of soldiers but He assured me that this army would be defeated. He said "If he cannot get you with one he will use the others and they will come one by one until you are too exhausted to fight anymore. Your greatest weapon is your ability to know when to stop fighting and take cover under my wings to strengthen you to continue for this battle will not end until my son returns. You must constantly fight for your freedom and know you will not be destroyed."

I said Lord why must I fight for freedom for it is promised in your word. He said "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed but He who wields faith and love remains free." We must battle daily as we are tested with new enemies. Then He showed me the sword and on the gold side was written "love" and on the silver side was "faith". Then I woke up......

I know that this was for me but not just me but the body of Christ as a whole. We have been in battle since the day of our salvation where we received our orders and He changed our clothes. We win the war and on the battlefield through faith and love. I did not see any casualties for when they dropped to their knees He came and when we are weak He is made strong....

Dream 2:
--------

I was watching from a side view and I saw another army only not in camouflage as before but this army was on huge horses. The riders were on black and red horses except the lead horsemen His was white. These horseman were wielding swords as well but these swords were gold and on them was written "truth." I saw them as they began to charge forward. Then I saw the enemy -- only this enemy I could see clearly even though he was nearly all black. These enemies too had names and I only saw a few and they were Dominion, Poverty, Divorce, Suicide and Greed. These enemies were bigger than the others I battled in the previous dream. And the setting was different, it appeared we were high up. I stood ready prepared to fight and I heard the Lord say this is the battle that rages in the heavenlies and this battle I fight.

I saw a host of angels surrounding the battle area and going in and out of these horsemen. Then he showed me the earth and the many saints on their knees. The picture split in two and I saw both and it was as if everytime a saint got on their knees an angel would come from the sidelines and go into one of the horsemen and begin to fight the enemy with strength and power. It was an endless battle because someone was always praying on their knees. He said, "it is prayer that moves them into position and it is truth that prevails. If more will pray more (enemies) will lose. This battle belongs to me but it is prayer that seeks this army out and causes change on the earth." So pray.. pray.. pray..... The heavenly battle is fought on our knees...

He then showed me our nations army and again said pray. I saw the enemies that had been unleashed against our army and they were called "fear" and "terror". The Lord said in the days ahead terror will try to secure its place in our midst. And fear will try to surround the people so we must lay down our lives to pray for this army. Then those in the heavenlies on the sidelines awaiting orders will be sent to battle with truth on our behalf -- for God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of peace, love and a sound mind....

Beloved I woke up with an incredible sense that we as a nation have been given a battle strategy and we must heed the words that the prophets are speaking in direction to prayer and thwarting the enemies plans in the days ahead...

Our lives are built on, sustained by and given to much prayer and fasting....

Bless you as you follow Him

What Pleases The Lord

Doug Morrell

...and find out what pleases the Lord." (Eph. 5:10)

Are you yet discovering that which is pleasing to our Lord? This is the same thing as understanding what is the will of the Lord. We are exhorted to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. What is it then that pleases Him?

Just one thing: faith. "Without faith it is impossible to please him," (Heb 11:6). Faith is believing God, believing what he says about life, believing what he says about people, about yourself, about the need of people, analyzing and realizing what is going on around you in terms of what the Bible has revealed and then responding only on that basis. This is what Paul is referring to: Not trying to get heavenly guidance as to where you go next or what you should do or what your job should be, but remembering that in every situation you are to act on the basis of what the Word of God says about it; reflect the viewpoint of God, his analysis of what the need of human life is, his evaluation of what the great values of life are. Once you get the real issue straightened out, what you do is relatively unimportant and can be handled very easily. What you are -- that is the big thing, what you are in every situation. Acting on faith means to reject the success image that the world is constantly holding before us, the image of the man who is able to manipulate people, move them at his command and as a result gain riches for himself and everything else he wants. That is the world's evaluation and technique. But God's way is quite different. He says you can have all these things and still be a pathetically poverty-stricken individual. If you are going to measure life by its true values, you will understand that that which really counts is being a gracious, love-filled person in the midst of demanding circumstances, manifesting the grace of God toward others, the love of Christ, the compassion and sweetness and self control of the Spirit-filled life. These are the important values. This is what Paul is trying to show us.

Why is it that we live by faith on Sundays and in religious matters, but we do not apply it to business or to our relationships with our neighbors or to our children and our homes or to our ministries? We have a strange division of vision that divides life into neat little compartments and says in business we act one way and on a whole different principle in church or in relationships with Christians. It should not be so. Likewise, you are called to be a minister of the gospel regardless of profession irregardless whether you are in professional ministry or professional truck driving you are called to be holy, blameless, righteous, filled with God's Holy Spirit and light and truth bearer. In God's economy there is no position other than that you were dead and are now alive.

Paul goes on to say, Having begun in the Spirit, are you now continuing in the flesh?" (Gal 3:3b). Do you understand that you began your Christian life by believing God by his Holy Spirit in faith, but now are we attempting to live our lives by accepting the principles of the world around us and its way of thinking, and thus be successful? Oh, you foolish Galatians! It will never work. Do not be foolish, but understand that in every situation, day or night, 24-7-365, God expects faith from you. "Without faith it is impossible to please him," (Heb 11:6a)

The life that pleases him is the life that believes what he says, and acts on it.

"Be filled with the Spirit."

This is the great secret of real Christianity, the possibility of being filled with the Spirit. I am sure all of us know that when you became a Christian, when you believed in Jesus Christ and received him as your Lord, the Holy Spirit came to live in you. You have a body, soul and a spirit and now you ALSO have the Holy Spirit within you. The interesting paradox is that, though all Christians have the Holy Spirit, we constantly need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The filling of the Holy Spirit is the moment-by-moment taking from him of the resources you need for the situation in which you find yourself; good, bad, or indifferent. It has nothing to do with an experience, or a feeling or a crisis; it is a quiet drinking again and again of an inner supply of resource. Recognize that it is not "fruits of the Spirit" plural but rather "fruit of the Spirit" singular (note that "works of the flesh" is plural). The fruit of the Spirit is the spontaneous work of the Holy Spirit in us. The Spirit produces these character traits that are found in the nature of Christ; only the Holy Spirit can produce them, and not our own efforts. When the Spirit controls the life of a believer, He produces all of these graces. They are the by-products of Christ's control--we can't obtain them by trying to get them without his help. If we want the fruit of the Spirit to grow in us, we must join our lives to his (John 15:4, 5). We must know him, love him, remember him, and imitate him. As a result, we will fulfill the intended purpose of the law--to love God and our neighbors.

Many Christians seem to miss this vitally important point. They think that Christianity means going to church, getting a blessing and then leaving to try to live in the light and warmth of the blessing until it leaks away and then they must go back and get filled up all over again. But that is not Christianity. The well is in you, and you are to take of it any moment, all the time. The Holy Spirit is the well. When Jesus said of the man who drinks of him, "Out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38), John says, "This spake he of the Spirit which they that believe in him shall receive," (John 7:39a). That is the strengthening that comes from within, and there is plenty there for any situation. There is always adequate resource for any demand made upon you.

I am not talking now about religious demands. I am talking about your everyday getting up, washing the dishes, getting the kids ready for school, going to work where the phone rings off the wall and your boss is on the line and takes your head off for something someone else failed to do life. It is just then when you pull the blankets up over your head, scrub another pot or pan, struggle to find a lost child's shoe, or your pencil breaks and things are just falling apart world. That is the moment you make demands upon the Holy Spirit, the well of living water that is within you. And yes, it's also when things are going well that you drink from the well. We are to drink from the river of life and see it for what it truly is: An abundant life created, carefully wrapped and presented by our Father just for us to conform us into the image of His Son and to demonstrate to the rest of the world that we are in deed set apart for the work of the ministry.

Prayer:
Father, right now we ask that you will teach us to drink from the well of water within, to know that every situation, circumstance and demand made upon us is a really designed as a situation, circumstance and demand made for you and you alone. Forgive us for not taking you at your word and trying to live a life apart from the source of abundant life. We know that you are prepared, ready, and willing to live your life through us in every situation and release your grace to those around us. We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.

Grow in grace and truth...
