Five-Fold Today - 4th Quarter Lakers - Gifted??? - Esther, It's Time - Ongoing Revelation - Winds of change - If God Has Called You - The Buckboard and the Church Building - A Word for Intercessors
Hello Jay,
Did you watch the game Sunday? This is what my son said "God" revealed to
him as he was watching the game( he is 21 years old) I believe it will
bless you as you read it.
Eudora Harrington
The lakers were down by 15 going into the 4th quarter. Phil (the coach) told
the team to stick with the game plan. Don't change it just stick with what I
taught you in the word, the plan (my plan saids the Lord). Yes, I know you are
under pressure right now, and you feel as though you may crack, but God is
saying stick with the plan. Lakers over came a 15 point deficit and won by 5.
We're going into the 4th quarter down by 15 and GOD is telling us to stick
with the game plan. Things may be hard right now, the pressure is on, the
enemy wants to deceive you and pursuade you to make the wrong move, the enemy
wants you to crack under pressure, BUT God says not so! stick with me and I
will take you places you have never been. you make Game 7 Winner takes all
loser goes home. (devil you got to go...you're a loser, I am on the winning
team. I stuck with the plan (my fathers plan and came out a winner!) The
pressure was on, L.A. going into the 4th quarter but L.A. did not crack. They
did not fold under Pressure. Pressure is the biggest weapon the enemy uses
against us and if we don't crack under pressure we will come out victorous
just like L.A. God is saying to the body of Christ today, don't fold under
presure... You are in the fourth quarter, you don't know how you are going to
win, you are tired, exhausted and weary but the Lord saids "stick to the
plan" you may think you can't make it, that no one knows how you feel, that
you need some help, that you are up under so much preasure you will break if
help don't come soon. But God is saying because of my love for you, because
of my purpose for your life, because I have heard your groanings, your cries,
because I have felt your pain and know your heart..... You shall! you will be
victorious! You shall overcome I know you will saith the Lord " I have
already prayed for you, saith God! And when you overcome , this is what I
want you to do" I want you to GO BACK AND STRENGTHEN YOUR BROTHER! After
YOU OVERCOME, I KNOW YOU WILL, as you stick to the plan! ...JUST STICK WITH
THE PLAN!!!! LOVE GOD

Dear Body:
There is a worship song that I just enjoy whole heartily. The chorus says
"As long as I have breath, I will sing your praise, as long as I can sign I
will sing your praises. Where ever you lead me, I will follow you."
That is my hearts cry to be where the father has sent me, doing what the
father has anointed me to do. Recently, I was serving on a ministry staff
under an excellent anointed pastor. I was sharing him my hearts passion is
to minister with the youth. He shared with me how he was seeking God's
direction for a new youth pastor. Now, in the natural we could have said our
eternal father brought us together. (I moved 1200+ miles west.) Pastor Roger
having a hearts desire to follow after God's leading (weather popular or not)
said "I want an Isaac for the youth [one who is anointed and appointed) not
an Ishmel (looks good, good fill in). I must admit, I was slightly offended
because I felt he totally overlooked the anointing I had active in my life.
Later I realized that is not what he was saying. He wanted God's choice. I
must admit, I could have done an excellent job ministering and training the
youth. BUT, if it was not my place to be, It would not have worked out. We
all would have become frustrated. I thank God that Pastor Roger made the
decision based on what the Holy Spirit was leading him. Today, Calvary has a
wonderful youth ministry team. The youth are hungry and ignighted for Jesus.
The youth pastors are mentoring and discipling the youth to a level that I
am not sure if I could have.
We in the body of Christ are ALL anointed. Upon salvation God plants awesome
seeds in our lives. We must nurture these seeds by watering them with the
word of God. The purpose of the body of Christ is not to plow over each
other to get to the finish line first. (did you read that). We have
developed the mentality that only a few are selected by our father to be
used. The scriptures declare that EACH of us is called. We all have
destinies in Christ. The word of God states that our gifts will make room
for us. Then why do we constantly race each other for "positions." We get
so caught up in titles and names (self glorification). We (the Body of
Christ) ALL have gifting and talents that our father has given us. We are
ALL to impact those around us for Christ. Are you changing the world around
you, or is the world around you changing you?
The week that Billy Graham received Christ as his savor, he was one of two
that came forward in the meetings. What would have happened if the
evangelist decided to cancel the meetings because he was not seeing the
numbers saved?
The word of God states that we were created for such a time as this. This is
your day, shine bright.
In Christ,

A Prophetic Call---Esther, It's Time
By Kim Puffpaff
There is a prophetic call going forth for the end times bride to take her
rightful place in the throne room of the king. It is time for Esther to
display her beauty for the king.
Once again the nation of Israel is on the verge of annihilation as a
people. The spirit of Haman (destruction) is raising forth its ugly head.
Plans are set in motion, God has revealed the plot through the Holy
Spirit, Mordecai and the counter move is already set in motion.
Esther, you have been chosen from birth for this day, taken from being an
orphan and adopted by the Holy Spirit....You have come into the kingdom
for such a time as this...You have come through the spirit of rejection
and have been schooled in the spirit of humility and obedience.....You
have learned to be obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit and obey His
every instruction....
I have soaked you in my oil of anointing for many days now. I have
immersed you in the perfume of my worship. You have smelled my
fragrance and the extravagance of it many times...Your preparation is
about to end....For you have found favor in the eyes of the King, He has
prepared a royal feast for you and given you royal robes to wear.
You have the authority to approach the King....because you have been
chosen and because of your place of intimacy with Him....Intimacy brings
favor....Now is the time to come forth.....For I will have a bride who
dares to come into my throne room.....the cry of the Holy Spirit is coming
forth in the gates of the city....He will not rest until a deliverer has
come forth...
For I will enable you to deliver the people once again....He who has come
down to deliver, will enable you to deliver....I have placed the fortitude
of a solider within....I will have a bride who says....if I perish, I
perish....but have mercy on your people Oh, God.....show your compassion
once again....
For I have given you the Keys.....they are in your hands...the keys
will unlock every door that has been shut by the enemy...for you will say
to the north, give them up and to the south, do not hold them back...you
will call my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the
earth....!
You alone have the authority to enter the throne room....you have fasted,
now you will give a feast for the King.....you will give a feast of wine
for the King.....and He will extend His scepter to you and say, Ask of me,
what do you want.....up to half the kingdom is yours...... .
For intimacy with the king, the preparation you have gone through, will
grant you entrance into His royal throne room...and He will gaze on the
bride who He loves.....and grant deliverance to the people once again...
It is time for Esther to come forth. It is time for her to take her place
in the throne room of the king....Will you say yes to the call? Will you
say if I perish, I perish..? For you have come into the kingdom for such a
time as this.......
Raise up your deliverers, oh God!
ONGOING REVELATION
The book of Genesis contains the seedbed of Biblical truth. The
garden became the birthplace of the whole shebang! All creation
and all nations
began in the garden. Eternal principles such as seed time and
harvest began there. Civilization emerged on the sixth day when
Adam (being both male and female) was made in the image and
likeness of God (Gen.1:27).
God said, Let Us make man (the term man is universal, not gender
specific -- i.e. literally, let us make a human) in Our image
(shape, phantom, resemblance) according to Our likeness (like
fashion, similitude); and let them (plural) have dominion over
the fish of the sea.... And God called "their name Adam (Gen.
1). Male and female.... This God-like image refers to the faculties
that Adam acquired from the Creator to be like Him and to relate
to Him. Humanity was made IN His image, to be like God.
We are familiar with the commission given to Adam (being both
male and female)
( Acts 3:21 tells us that Jesus is "held in the heavenlies" until
the restoration of all things. What things? We need to answer
that from the vantage of men and women's potential from BEFORE
THE FALL INSTEAD OF AFTER THE FALL. "All things" will be restored
- and no cultural expectation, sordid contemporary pressure,
religious error, nor any other temporal obstruction has the power
to interrupt or counteract the restoration that will take place.
The reality of God's intentions will be accomplished. Restored
believers (both men and women) will execute
dominion rule on this earth.
As we press into this truth, let's do so assured of the ONGOING
revelation from the very beginning. The ceaseless stream of
God's perpetual design flows from the dawn of humanity until
our day. God clearly authorized and decreed His precise eternal
plan -- that of effective kingdom ministry dynamically impacting
the world. We see this truth clarified as we overlay Adam's five-fold
commission over the five fold ministry in operation. In doing
this, we obtain further clarity with extended definition of the
five-fold ministry for today.
Truth pulls the New Creation forward until it finally emerges
from the cave of revelation and focuses on bringing forth the
relevant kingdom issues. God's people, originally created to
fully function in five-fold ministry, now become restored to
their Edenic design. Jesus paid a high price for us to become
heirs of His great and precious promises so that we could "participate
in the divine nature" (1 Peter 1:4). Let's initiate His return
by intimately imaging His likeness. Let's embrace and enact
the absolute redemption that God intended for us to find. It's
His delight.

A word through Rich Hughlett
"Winds of change, Winds of change," Saith the Lord. "For I am releasing
mighty winds of change from the four corners of the earth, for the
demolition of the old for the rebuilding of the new. Winds of change for
the uncovering of the hidden, winds of change for the revealing of the
truth. There shall be winds for re-evaluation, winds for relocation, winds
for restoration, winds for refining, winds for realigning, winds for
refreshing, winds for blessing, winds for repentence, winds for salvation,
winds for prosperity, winds for healing, winds for deliverance, winds for
consecration, and winds for sanctification."
"To those who resist, the winds will bring destruction, but for those who
yield to my Spirit they will be winds that will propel them on the course
that I have prepared for them. So seek my face to set your compass, and
spread your wings and allow the currents of my Spirit to bring the changes
that must be made to bring you higher and closer to me," Saith the Lord.
-----
At the beginning of the prophecy I saw the winds of a great storm blowing
debris everywhere, and towards the end of the message I saw in my mind a
great eagle hovering above her nest violently flapping her wings .
When I came to the word sanctification, the Holy Ghost spoke these words
to me which I feel are not part of the prophecy, but are for counsel and
instruction especially to those in leadership.
"A greater circle of influence requires a smaller circle of
sanctification."

If God Has Called You
Author Unknown
Submitted by Priscilla
If God has called you to really be like Jesus in all your spirit, He will
draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put on you such
demands of obedience, that He will not allow you to follow other
Christians, and in many ways He will seem to let other good people do
things which He will not let you do.
Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful may push
themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans, but you
can not do it; and if you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and
rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent.
Others can brag on themselves, on their work, on their success, on their
writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and
if you begin it, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will
make you despise yourself and all your good works.
Others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or having
a legacy left to them, or in having luxuries, but God may supply you
daily, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, and
that is a helpless dependence on Him, that He may have the privilege of
providing your needs day by day out of the unseen treasury.
The Lord may let others be honored, and put forward, and keep you hid away
in obscurity, because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for
His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.
God will let others be great, but keep you small, He will let others do
work for Him and get the credit for it, but He will make you work for Him
, and toil on without knowing how much you are doing; and then to make
your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the
work which you have done, and this will make your reward ten times greater
when Jesus comes.
The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch on you, with a jealous love, and
will rebuke you for little words and feelings or for wasting your time,
which other Christians never seemed distressed over. So make up your mind
that God is an Infinite Sovereign, and has a right to do as he pleases
with his own, and He will not explain to you a thousand things which may
puzzle your reason in His dealings with you.
God will take you at your word; and if you absolutely sell yourself to be
His slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love, and let other people say
and do many things that you cannot do or say.
Settle if forever, that you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, and
that He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue, or chaining your
hand, or closing your eyes, in ways that others are not dealt with. Now
when you are so possessed with the living God that you are, in your secret
heart, pleased and delighted over His peculiar, personal, private, jealous
guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will
have found the vestibule of heaven.
The Buckboard and the Church Building.
Becky McLendon
I was riding beside a buckboard driver. Suddenly the driver whipped the horses into an extremely fast run. I saw at the bottom of the
hill we were descending, a small traditional white church building with steeple and double doors. We were approaching it at break
neck speed. My thoughts were "WE ARE GOING TO CRASH AND BE KILLED"..but the driver never noticed me. He stared straight
ahead. I noticed he had long hair and wore a white robe. But he headed the buckboard quite determinedly toward the building. It
was inevitable..we were going to crash through the doors. As we touched the threshhold of the building the doors floated open and
we began floating down the middle aisle of it. On either side of us the people were FROZEN. They pointed and whispered.."Look at
them..they are floating." but they were FROZEN no one moved.
Suddenly I was seized with the conviction to start telling them to hop on this wagon. A few slowly climbed on and were immediately
free. They started telling the others to hop on. Just then the buckboard crashed through the wall at the other end of the building
and was outside again..the horses never skipping a beat of their hooves. A few people ran after us..it was raining and very muddy
by now..but they ran for the wagon. I and several others helped them on to the wagon and we rode off in a down pour of rain. ********************
This move of God, the final wave of waves is headed with singleness of purpose toward what we all have conceived in our minds to
be "church"...The messenger will "crash the gates" of the religious system and pass right through it. Will this move of God find the
people FROZEN and pointing and LOOKING at it but never moving? Or will the remnant hop up on the wagon and begin calling to
others to COME. God spoke to me about 5 years ago to have my theology shaken. I truly believe we are in that time. We will
either bundle our faulty theology up and toss it down at the foot of the cross, or we will be FROZEN and unable to respond when the
Truth of God "rides" right through our midst.
THE BANQUET HALL
I entered a large banquet hall. The aroma and atmosphere was one of sumptuous dining and rich fellowship. It was decorated to
the hilt. There was every imaginable food laid out at many different "stations"..People were piled around each table stuffing their
mouths with as much as they could. One group called to me...BECKY!! Come over here. You must try this it is so delicious. One
had whipped cream all over her mouth where she had stuffed a huge sweet delicacy into her mouth. The whole group was
beckoning to me. Another was around a lavish feast of roasted meats and rich sauces...They had grease all over their faces and
were talking with their mouths full.
Just then I looked in my hands. I was holding a plate with a small piece of meat and a small bit of gravy and potatoes. I looked at
the meager meal and then at the banquets. and thought, "surely the Lord intends me to eat of those rich banquets and not this
simple portion."
I then heard his voice say, 'YOUR MEAT IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT YOU." I knew then to take the meat and gravy
HE had given me. I stared straight ahead and walked all the way through the banquet hall and out the other door. After all he said
"this is the way walk in it." We are not to look to the left or the right and be distracted by the sumptiousness of the feasts that man
have built on a "revelation" from God. We are to accept HIS MEAT and eat it in His presence. He reminds me of my "plate"
everytime I turn my attention to some of the
fluff that passes off as God's work.
Hmmmmm If we were to eat "His " meat we might loose some of the WEIGHT that so easily encumbers us!
Love you all..Becky (wayfarer)
A Word for Intercessors
Graham Cook
"Father I thank you Lord, Lord cause intercessors to rise to a new level of anointing and
grace. If you are called to intercession, stand now.
First thing I want to say to you guys collectively is this: there is a fresh anointing upon you,
there is a drawing into the throne room of God, that this is a season of coming in beyond the
veil, into a place and there is a stepping closer to the throne of God in your life,. What this
means is there is a fresh intimacy and the Lord says that for a season He has not called you
just to be the watchman that you are, that this is a season for a couple of months where I'm
sensing that God is just taking you off the wall and into the throne room. Some of you have
been hurt and woundered in the battle, you've taken some hits, you've made some mistakes
and the Lord says this is a season of healing for you, just the next couple of months a place of
healing, a place of refreshing, a place of being renewed in His grace, in His love, in His mercy
and I'm to tell you it starts right now, immediately. Some of you are already in it and I'm
just confirming what you're doing because you've been feeling a bit guilty, you been feeling
guilty, you've also been feeling "what's happening in my ministry because I'm not as sharp
about what the enemies doing, because I can't see" and some of you have interpreted this
season as "maybe the enemy is just confusing me right now, because I can't see with the same
clarity." See what's been happening is your already into this session and the enemy has been
trying to get you feeling you've lost your anointing, but you haven't, you haven't. It's just
God has taken you off the wall, this is just R & R. You are in the throne room right now and
the rest of you just need to find your way in.
This is a season of grace, this is a season of refreshing, this is a season when God is going to
kiss you with the kisses of His mouth, it's a season when you're going to come into adoration,
it's a season when you are going to come into a new place of worship, a new place of
contemplation. Some of you have been trying to break into meditation and it's been like a
battle against your mind but the Lord is saying that in the throne room He will break you into
a place of meditation - deep thought - but also it's a place of adoration where the anointing
of God is going to touch you and you're going to find yourself flowing in a new place in
worship. And the Lord says it's OK just to spend hours in my presence worshipping. That's
what I want. I don't want you in your ministry, I want you to minister to me, I want you to
learnt to minister to me. This is what this season is all about. It's a season when you're
going to learn to minister to the Lord and the Lord says get together with your friends who
are of the same heart and just come and be in my presence and I'm going to touch you and Im
going to grace you and to those who are having problems right now in marriage the Lord says
to you, there is grace coming to you in the family home and as you come into this place of
adoration the atmosphere is going to change in the family home, the atmosphere is going to
change and those of you with rebellious kids, the atmosphere is going to change in the home.
And the Lord says as you come into that place of adoration He is saying to you, don't go into
war over your kids, come into My presence and worship me and I will touch them. I will
grace their lives. This is a season of refreshing, this is a season of fresh anointing, it's a
season of being in the presence of God, learning how to worship, learning how to sing in the
Spirit, learning how to be in the presence of God, learning how to minister. And the Lord
says, once this season is through He's going to put you back on the wall and your ministry
will change. You'll be able to see further than you've seen before, you'll be able to give
greater advance warning than you've given before, but the Lord says you'll watch with a new
spirit and you won't just watch for the enemy like you have been doing because some of you
have watched for the enemy for so long that's all you can see - the enemy. And the Lord
says to you, this is a new day and I'm not asking you just to watch for the enemy, I'm asking
you to watch for me because the King is coming. And in this season - you are going to learn to
refocus on me because some of you have been so focused on the enemy he's all you ever look
for. And the Lord says this is a season of refocusing when I teach you how to look at Me,
focus on Me, because you're not just going to say 'behold the enemy', but you're also going
to be saying, 'behold the King is coming, open the gates, the King is coming'. And you're going
to be saying ' the King is coming', then there'll be a time when you'll say 'the King is here'.
So Father I pray, Lord would you touch their hearts right now, draw them into this secret
place of your presence, bring the release and I pray that those who have become tired and
weary would be refreshed, that you will reclaim their hearts, reclaim their spirits Father,
refresh their soul, restore, renew their mind, restore their spirit in the name of Jesus and I
ask that you will put a prophetic anointing on them, that from this day on, from this season on,
they will have an anointing to detect the fine hand of God at work and not just the enemy. So
Father, I pray that this season of release commence now in the name of Jesus. Amen

Subject: [NEW-WINE] Gifted???
by Dr. Kluane Spake
* This imprint of God's image was distorted at the fall.
Jesus died to RESTORE this EDENIC condition:
Redemption is what took Christianity out of the realms of religion
and philosophy and made it a living reality. Redemption means
"to restore"
or to "buy back" or to put back the way it was before. We need
the character strength and resolve to access what is our inheritance
We must not ignore the total work of the cross which ultimately
brings us back to the privilege of Eden (which means God's delight).
Redemption enables humankind (the new creation) to return to
this spiritual IMAGE and intent of God. These are not just
words and thoughts, this is a way of life!
