And So It Goes

2011-12-09T23:54:00.000-08:00

And so it goes with life, the daily grind. Trying to keep your head afloat at whatever level life seems to find you in. Do you ever wonder what is the reason for all of "this"? This life, this world, this harsh grinding experience? You, being a child of the most High God don't really fit here do you?

2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2Pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

Nope. If you truly be a child of God, you will have a different nature and a different character to that of the world around you. This season of the wheat and the tares growing together in an increasingly compressed world is both exciting and pressing at the same time. Interconnection and sensory overload requires you to get away, to find a secret place and to withdraw with the Father. With all trying to draw you without, you must of your free will seek to go within for that is where the Kingdom is:

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

So how do you stay true? How do you stay on track in this time and in this age? That has always been the challenge for the children of God. To keep their hearts set on things above, to store up their treasure in Heaven where rust and moths don't destroy and where thieves don't break in and steal. And YES, they are stealing and breaking in at a rate today that is unheard of. And decay has escalated as the earth wears out like a garment:

Isa 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Isa 51:5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isa 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
Isa 51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Take heart my brothers, your salvation draws near. Take heart my sisters, in Him is your trust well placed. Be of good courage and keep the faith to the very end, for this is the battle to which you have been called.

In Christ,

Press On, Press In

2011-06-12T13:15:00.000-07:00

It's been a rough few weeks. Trials on numerous fronts have left a number of us feeling shell shocked. Numb. Haven't we been down this road before? Didn't we already go through this lesson?

Yes and No.

Yes, we have gone through before. No, not this cycle and not at this depth. Each trial takes you deeper, even as a shovel digging the earth. Deeper we go, cutting through your being one painful scoop at a time. You are getting to the core. You are getting to I AM. The very essence and nature of God to be revealed in you as you discover that He is and you are not. Oneness in Him is life and reality, all else is death and decay. All else is transitory and passes away.

That which we go through pushes us to make a decision. Do we press in or do we look without? While the victory is not contingent on our best efforts, their is a spiritual direction involved. Your will is involved, your will is engaged. You must (and you do) choose, every moment of every day.

Scarcely would we have survived even to this point had it not been for the hand of God protecting us, leading and guiding us through a corrupt and crooked world. If the Lord had not been on our side, all our enemies would have swallowed us alive. And yet, despite their murderous, thieving, deceitful intent the children of God are still here. We survive, and in this time we now thrive.

We thrive because God intends it to be so. We thrive now because God wants it to be understood that promotion comes from the Lord. He lifts one up, and tears another down. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness there of.

Be what God made you to be. Now is the time. Don't delay, why would you when it is available now. The way: Truth and Life.

In Christ,

Spending Till You Are Spent

2011-06-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

Brace yourself for the task at hand. We are moving into a busy season for the children of God. For those of you that have complained about life passing you by, look up! Your wave is here, catch it. You are now in motion, get on with it.

It is a glorious ride ahead. God wants to prove a point through His people. We are not destined for anything in this temporal world; consequentally neither poverty nor riches and success matter to us. What is important is knowing and following Christ. To often the thought has been that God's people must ONLY be the broken, the shattered, the marginalized, the outcast. But the reality is that the outer state matters little to the true follower of Christ. While we go through His ordained seasons for our lives and His desired preparation of our beings; we will be fashioned into what He desires. To be a prince or a king is not excluded from His people (though rare in the modern era). You will be what God intended you to be! Shalom.

Brace yourselves ... And enjoy!

The Agitation

2011-03-23T13:09:00.000-07:00

It is perhaps normal to feel like there is a burr under your saddle. You won't press in if you feel comfortable; when you feel like something is not right you will wonder what is going on and inquire of the Lord.

There is peace for the follower of Christ. There is also agitation. There is heat and pressure on your soul. All are normal. You are not losing your mind, nor have you taken a wrong turn. The call is always to overcome, to go through. A stark contrast to the worlders who are constantly seeking to get out.

Go through the situation and go through it well! In the process, if you are struggling with a situation then take it to God in prayer. The victory (i.e. overcoming) comes when you go within with Christ. When you go within a change takes place. Once you meet God on the matter at hand peace is found. The King declares a verdict on whatever it is that you are going through and all is well. Though your external situation may not have changed in the slightest, within you are different. The situation does not change, you change! The dungeon becomes a place of praise and worship, a place where the Spirit Of God flows into and through because you are completely given over to Him for His plan and purpose.

Be at peace!

Shalom,

Walking Through It All

2011-03-19T13:52:00.000-07:00

Yes, the Worlders get mad when you walk through the traps set for you. When you remain whole within and unaffected. Their goal is to affect you; is to draw your attention in to something (anything) as long as they can get it off of the real Jesus Christ. That is the assignment they have from the spirits that work through their souls. They are assigned to get you off of "within" (Luke 17:20-21) and to pull you without. Get you wrapped up in the external, in the temporal, in the carnal. Indulge. Or if you won't partake, then defend yourself for not meeting the world's expectations of you.

We often respond with "I'm sorry, i think you confused me with someone that cares." Because, when it comes to the worlders, we don't think/live/respond the way they do. We have differene priorities, a different heart, a different focus. As much as they care not for the things of the Kingdom of Light (except to perhaps the extent that they can twist them to fit their agenda), We care not for the things of the kingdom of darkness and the priorities of this world. We exist in polar opposites for a short window of time.

This is the only paradigm possible where the wheat and the tares can grow together. It is only possible in this dimension.

While the worlders believe that they will fulfill their agenda through lies, manipulation, man-made control, bribery and blackmail they will begin to realize in this next stage that the ship they have been building won't hold together in the storm God will unleash that is on the horizon. The very breath that is in their bodies is on loan from our Creator. He need only require what is His and they would all collapse where they stand. Game over. But, He will allow it to continue, for He is working out a greater plan and purpose through all that will transpire. For starters, He will begin now to shatter their illusion of security. High level champions in their system will fall suddenly and be removed. Those with eyes to see in the spirit will understand what is transpiring, but those in the natural will only be shocked and stunned. Much in the way that the Philistines were stunned when their champion Goliath was taken out by a shepherd boy. They thought they were invincible! After all, the insults on God's people had carried on for a long time. But God decided to bring some perspective. And when He did through David the shepherd boy the enemies of light were stunned and then ran like the cowards they are.

When they begin to fall, the world attempt to enshrine them. But know now that they are simply eternal garbage that was apparently swept off the stage early to make a point to all who remain. Psalms 2 & 149.

Listen And Learn

2011-02-18T12:12:00.000-08:00

To many are tossed too and fro with every wind of doctrine. No foundation in Truth, no foundation in Christ Jesus. When you listen to His voice, when you settle yourself at His feet ... you learn and you grow. And when you learn you know what to do as you walk through this life.

When your life is filled with His Word, the living Word of God, in that place when something contrary comes your way you know it. It does not match. It is not in oneness with the voice of the Spirit of God witnessing inside your soul. God speaks, His people listen. They follow the voice of the Good shepherd.

The world bombards you and your mind to try to break that oneness you have with the Spirit of God. Love of money, love of self, pride, sex outside of God's provision in the covenant of marriage, lying, ... Sin breaks your oneness with God and His Holy Spirit.

Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus! Why? Because the mind that is in Christ Jesus is one with God. A mind that is in you that is NOT the same as Christ Jesus' is NOT one with God. That mind is not at peace. That mind does not know the way to go and does not know what to do nor how to do it.

Listen to the voice of the Spirit of God. When you hear Him, obey Him. It is simple, so simple that a child can do it (and often does). Love God, love Truth, love to give, love to be poured out according to the will of God.

Be Blessed,

Rise And Fall

2011-02-12T10:43:00.000-08:00

It is in God's hands, the rising and the falling of individuals, families, towns, cities, states, nations. If He decrees prosperity, a land prospers. If He declares destruction a nation crumbles. All is under His power and authority.

That said, He allows for the expression of free will and decision making. He wants His creation to choose life, yet He allows them to decide the way they will go. He calls out to many, but they must make the choice to respond to the call or to reject truth and continue in their own way/the way of the World. God is not looking for robots. He wants a Bride that above all else and through every obstacle still chooses to press through to be with the one she loves. That is who Jesus wants to spend eternity with. Not with the harlet with roving eyes, but his beloved who only has eyes for the Son. Her only desire is Him and no other.

God tests that resolve when someone chooses to start down the track to be with Christ. He tests the will and the decision one makes to want to be with Him. Really? You want to walk with Him? You want to know Him? At what cost, how far are you willing to go? Will you meet Him in like fashion; laying down all to be with you (and I).

He wants us to be equally yolked with Him. It is a wedding and an eternal union. Once He knows you will follow Him, that your heart is only for Him, there is no more need for you to be on the fire of testing. You are done. You are now ready for your showing and to engage in the work He has destined for you in this life. Sure, you will go through difficulties and you will encounter challenges, but they won't be the same as before. Something within has changed so that the externals don't determine your state. Your reality is now firmly rooted in the Kingdom that is within.

Know that He is control. Make the choice to choose life. Whatever He gives you to do, seek to do it well and as unto Him. Choose to live and not just to exist. Be thankful for what you have and what you get for your labours, be it a lot or a little. Look to Him for all things.

In Christ,

What You Can Change And What You Cannot

2011-02-02T10:49:00.000-08:00

We've heard it expressed in numerous ways, "You can't change others, the only thing you can change is the way that you respond to them." It's true. This is part of the discipline of the disciple of Christ Jesus. To learn mastery of thyself. To possess your vessel. You present your body a living sacrifice. You are required to do that, I am required do that. (Scriptures calling it your "reasonable service" in Romans 12 essentially means that the least we can do is live holy). The will is involved, the will is engaged.

This is true of our response to others, of our response to this fallen world and all that it does. We have little to no control of all that is going on around us. In fact, there are many seasons where God allows evil to flourish (prior to it's destruction, a time of filling up the cup so to speak). Ours is not to create a utopia on earth, ours is to walk with and serve the King. It begins within. The Kingdom is within.

It is within that you have the ability to make change, it is within where you have the ability to surrender all to the will of God, to the Prince Of Peace. It is within that you can do what you long to see done in the world without. Within you can surrender to God, you can seek to follow Him, you can obey His voice, you can cast down everything that exhalts itself against the knowledge of God. That is also why they work so hard to try and keep you "with-out"; to keep you wrapped up in the external affairs of the day, or fretting about the past or worried and fearful about the future.

To focus on the externals is to get caught up in the trap set for your soul. The battle is for your mind, it is a war for the direction of your thoughts and the intentions of your heart.

You must go within. Go with Christ. Deep calls out to deep. Within is where things change; within is where your will is most powerful. Within is where your destity is shaped.

Go within. Be changed into what God made you to be.

In Christ,

Wisdom Of The Fathers

2010-12-28T00:02:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL POST:
Perhaps one of the greatest blessings of life has been the fact that my parents are real ones. I was born to two wonderful people that were destined to be His. And as they progressed on the path; asking, seeking and knocking for truth they found Christ. Through the years they stayed true to the revelation of who Christ Jesus is, Messiah and Savior. The Lamb of God that came to take away the sins of the world and who was, is and remains the only propitation for our sins and the price that must be paid.

Because my parents stuck it out, stayed together, hung in there when the going got tough and fought to keep Christ the center of our family life, I got as good a start as a young man could ask for. I was certainly given much in the things that are truly important in this life.

I say this to point out the fact that God intended His blessing to flow through the family, through a Godly line. It's also why the devil works so relentlessly to try and break up the family unit. To make men cowards, women controllers, children selfish users, all compromised in as many ways and areas as possible so the fabric of a home tears right down the middle. Part of why i'm where i am today is because my parents didn't go for satan's lie, but they trusted God and did what He said. And they were and are blessed. Plenty of flaws, yes, but they stayed true to the call and kept going.

Just a little reminder to those of you out there to continue to fight for your families. The best thing that you can do for them is to live a consistent Godly life in front of them and be real. Don't make it more complicated than that.

Anyway, recently i was blessed to talk with my godly dad about some of our favorite subject matter: Christ, the walk, Truth, the call in this time, etc. And we got on to the fact that Christ is I AM.

How much of the world system's focus is spent on trying to get you caught up into worrying about the future, or stressed about your past. If you are thinking about the current moment, that your focus is on something external, material and temporal. Christ is I AM, right here and right now. To be ever present is key to the walk in Christ. God is in this moment right now. People (especially worlders) look for Him in the wrong place. He's not in the fire, wind, earthquake ... All of the dramatics. He's in that still small voice. Quiet yourself under His hand. Still yourself. Stop. Listen. Stay. Enjoy His presence. Don't let the world catch you up into it's scripted drama. It's a well designed trap for your mind. Christ's sheep hear His voice. Stop and listen.

As my dad would say "be here now."

Blessings,

Govinda

Blessed Fellowship

2010-12-19T22:59:00.000-08:00

It's a beautiful thing when God allows us to have true fellowship with true children of God. How sweet it is, how refreshing along this often parched journey of life. In those times you recognize your brothers and sisters for who they are. There is no attempts to control, manipulate, steal, destroy or put asunder. None. What a contrast to time spent around worlders.

In blessed times spent around the true children of God you enjoy true fellowship; you enjoy the company of those who truly desire your best interest and who genuinely like you for who God made you to be. It is a restful, peaceful, joyful time. A time of laughter and refreshing.

The worlders have never known a time like that in this life. In order to even being to experience fellowship like this one has to first become a person who could be an appropriate part of that company. And that is a work of the Spirit of God. Without that transformation you'd never fit, there is a disconnect. One must be grafted into the vine and into true fellowship with the true Saints of God.

Prior to all of that you have to learn to be comfortable alone, at the feet of Jesus, in the wilderness. He is the central relationship, he is core. Intimacy begins with Him, and then overflows from that relationship into the lives of others. When you start with the central reality that Jesus is indeed enough, you are now in a position to recieve all things including true fellowship with the real ones. If He's not enough for you, you'll find your company with others who are in the same boat, all looking to find that missing piece in someone else.

A little tip: don't focus too much on yourself. Rather, look to be a help and a blessing to others as God would lead you. Self-centered thinking and selfishness is a bottomless pit. Seek first the Kingdom. Look to help and assist others. Be blessed.

In Christ,

Alone, But Not Alone

2010-11-21T17:31:00.000-08:00

It can be a lonely walk some of the time ... Most of the time. While we have the occasional companion for a season, the fellow traveler, the moment soon comes when you must part company and each go on to your assigned task. It is a task you do alone. Even if you have apparent company, a spouse, friends, no one can see the struggle inside of you. That thing that tears at you, screaming at times to be free of it all, desiring to be what God made you to be.

You do it alone. You walk to your death (i.e. Carry your cross) alone. At least is sure does feel like it ...

But then you realize, you are not alone. The Master who called you to follow Him, the One that you love, the King of your soul, He is there. Leading you, walking besides you, His Glory is your rear guard. On every side He is there.

He allows the loneliness, the suffering, the rocky trail, because He is making something out of you. A disciple, a warrior, a friend, a lover of Truth, a royal priesthood, and a blessed child of God that will grow to be the man (or woman) He has destined you to be.

There is no other way, it is the path of freedom. You walk it alone ... But never alone.

In Christ,

Unexpected Acts Of Kindness ...

2010-11-17T10:45:00.000-08:00

... They are a rare thing in the day and the age we live in. For someone to do something for you, not with an hidden agenda, but purely because they want to do something nice for you. Someone who wants to bless you in some small or big way ... What a blessing it is when you encounter one of these acts and the people that do them! How refreshing to the soul and the spirit on this often rough and rocky journey of life.

Small Thought: When was the last time that you did something kind for someone? Not because they were expecting it, or it was a birthday or a special occasion.

Just because.

Just for the fun of it.

When you get your eyes off yourself, your situation and hardships and say within yourself "despite everything, i've still got something to give. I can bless. I can help, even in a small way and so i shall" amazing things happen. It is actually a remedy to personal misery.

Selfishness is a bottomless pit that will never be filled. But when you spend your life on behalf of the will of God and in service to others there is an amazing fulfillment that comes as a result. It is part of the good in us that should be unlocked by an encounter with Christ.

Be kind. Bless others. Pray for those who persecute you and for those who would spitefully use you. They need Jesus too, perhaps they may change and your prayer would have been what made the difference. The worlders are miserable and need Jesus. Pray for them, that they will have that encounter and come to themselves, even as the prodigal son did in the pig pen of life.

Along those lines, it is often a pure act of kindness as led by the Holy Spirit that will jar a person. It refreshes a saint and shocks a sinner. It hits them like a ton of bricks when they realize that you do something for no other reason than a desire to bless them and God is leading you to do it. Your Spirit led actions are more powerful than your words. Talking of kindness is not the same as actually experiencing kindness. Talk of love is different than experiencing love.

Allow God to make you the living example of the change in the world you feel compelled to see. Bless someone today, unexpectedly. Let God lead you and do it. Most who try this will actually find that they enjoy the process. It truly is more blessed to give than to recieve. Have fun :-)

In Christ,

The faithmix Team

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps ...

2010-10-28T13:30:00.000-07:00

... We might turn around. Give up. Throw in the towel. Call it quits. Give up the ghost. After all, who can make war against the Beast? Who can oppose what we are surrounded by; that which seems to grow stronger by the day.

Maybe if they just throw one more log into the fiery furnace you'll melt with fear and bow your knee. Most have and many will. What about you?

1 John 2:15-17

Friends. It is not easy. But it is simple. Bow your knee to the Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ. And stay at His feet every day of your life. You only get up to fulfill the instructions He gives you, but at His feet is your resting place. Your default point. Your reset button amidst the challenges and trials of life.

It is at His feet that you receive His Rhema, your daily bread. He feeds you, comforts you, provides for you and the needs of your soul. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isa 40:31).

Mount up sir eagle and fly. Fly madame eagle, sour above the storms of life. Let the winds of the Spirit of God carry you above it all. In order to fly you have to first learn to kneel.

We bow only to Him. We serve only Him. We worship only Him. We have no other God. We need nothing else but Jesus. He is enough to satisfy the needs and the desires of your soul.

Pain will come on this journey. Suffering is a companion of the follower of Christ during their journey through this life. But if you allow the Spirit of God to work in you and to change your heart, pain won't hurt you. Yes, it might sting, but it can do no real harm in the end. It just becomes part of the process we go through and what God uses to shape us into what He would have us to be.

Just as the sharp chisel cuts into the rock sculpture being shaped under the master's hand, so we experience pain. It's o.k. It'll be o.k. Consider it pure joy when you face and experience these things. God knows what He is doing with you.

Many times God actually sends His people into situations on purpose where we will encounter suffering. Just look at the life of Jesus. But God was there in it all, working out a plan and a purpose that would change the world. Thank God Jesus wasn't thinking about His own comfort when He walked through His journey of life. Nor should we.

Trust. Obey. Follow Him. Let the rest be what it is. You just keep walking with Jesus.

In Christ,

Rolling Out "The Mark"

2010-10-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

A tried and true tactic of the world system is to create a "problem - reaction - solution" situation. To get you to want and request what they want to give you and to ask for the poison by name. We were just thinking today about the many ways that the world system could even this day roll out and market a chip, an RFID tag, that would go in the forehead or right hand:

Financial Transactions Ease - Can't buy and sell without it, so easy to do with it.
Identity Security and Identity Theft -Increasingly a problem in the world. You are safe now.
Child Safety and Protection - Keep your kids safe and know where they are in an unsafe world. Great for countering Human Trafficking as well.
Ease of Travel, visas, immigration - Come and go as you please.
Your medical records on you in an accident/emergency - Everything about your medical history is easily available to health care providers, even if you are unconscious. They have the best chance of keeping you alive now. The best care you can get from cradle to grave.
Illegal Aliens Curbed - Much more difficult for them to come into a society now without going through the proper channels.
Anti-Corruption Measure -Particularly valuable in developing nations and emerging market economies. No more cash payoffs before and after hours. Huge clean up that will make the world a better place.
Lower transaction costs to financial, Government, Business institutions - Maximize profits, efficiency and speed. Great!
Going green - Just think of all the trees that we won't be cutting down to make paper for money, receipts, bills,
Anti-terrorism measure - Much easier to detect the bad guys now if their travel history is a cave in Afghanistan and you know their purchasing patterns compared to Mr. John Smith and his wife living in Iowa. No more profiling necessary, we know who the bad guys are now. And the only ones who could possibly be the bad guys would be those without the mark. Let you get on with your lives. Summary justice is in order and justified to protect society.
Identity, life, preferences customized to your tastes and purchasing patterns - A richer life experience for you: Dating, relationship, Marriage suggestions based on your compatibility and lifestyle choices. No more guess work, now you know the statistical chances of you being a compatible match with your perfect Stepford wife. Also the same with your work; the perfect job(s) for you based on what you would enjoy and find satisfying and the employer knows you'll be the best for that role too. A maximized happy and productive economy; you are now the perfect cog in the wheel and a productive a member of society in the most fulfilling way possible.
A cashless society greatly reduces crime and armed robbery -You won't get held up in a dark alley if no one has cash on them. And easy to track criminals now too.
Behind the Scenes (BTS) - Those who control the technology control the world (love it!). Have your elections, ball games, American Idol ... cast your vote. THIS is change you can believe in!
Etc. etc. etc. -

The list goes on and on. Ultimately, projecting ahead we can see that this will be one of several silver bullet solutions rolled out at an opportune time to "save the world". And the masses, the fearful, the sellouts, will facilitate it and want it amidst the horrors they see in a world spinning out of control. And the only reason that you wouldn't want it is because you are a terrorist and enemy of society and humanity ... no tears will be shed for you when you can't buy and sell and when they subsequently hunt you down.

"Come on, take it ... you've got to make a living ... your family's got to eat ... the Bible doesn't really mean THAT according to pastor/minister/brother/pope so and so ... God understands ... " ... (sigh)

So seductive. But ultimately allegiance to the world system and turning your back on the real Jesus Christ. Irredeemable. To them without eyes to see and hearts to understand they will not be able to resist the allure, the pull, the pressure. No schools, no services, no access to anything you once enjoyed, you can't do business, can't buy or sell; unless you are in you are out ...

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Rev 14:9-12)

You won't be able to forsake all if you haven't already done it in your heart (Our suggestion is that you DO IT NOW on your face before Jesus Christ). And you won't be able to exist in the fact that "to live is Christ and to die is gain" if that is not your heart's resolve and resolution that you walk in this day, this moment. There is no middle ground. Let God take you to the end of yourself NOW! Cry out for it this day. Live in the Love of God, not in the fear of the world.

They cannot touch your spirit and your soul. You are free in Him. Live free!!!

In Christ,

Choose Your Company Wisely

2010-09-21T10:50:00.000-07:00

Not everyone that wants to join you on your journey is a friend. Not everyone that offers you a helping hand has your best interest at heart. Not everyone that says Lord Lord ... Well, you know that one (Matthew 7).

Another cliche, "you can't judge a book by its cover" is a spin on God's original: "Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the Heart." There are those who outwardly appear to be allies on the way, friends on the path. But within (the place where God sees even though they seek to hide it) they are ravenous wolves that at an opportune time would seek to devour a child of God if they have sufficient access.

The most twisted hypocrites don't show up on day one overtly telegraphing their devilish intent. No, they come in slowly. They seek to win your trust. They offer you help in a time of trouble. Not out of a genuine heart expecting nothing in return as God's children do. They offer you assistance, a meal, something, anything as a means to an end. An elaborate trap to unfold with time.

The ultimate goal that they are being demonicly inspired towards is the destruction of the child of God. But they need your permission to do it. They need you to allow them in, to give them access, to grant them your trust.

Much of this is avoidably if a Child of God:
1. Listens and obeys the instructions of the Holy Spirit.
2. Has nothing they desire in the world (otherwise the world has a hook in you).

Most are snared by a hidden love in their heart that is not Christ. I reserved desire, a "secret place", that which is too dear to them to let go. It will kill you. Or rather, it will be the access point for those that will take you to your death (spiritual, natural or both).

You will have no other God but Him. No other way but Him. No other desire but Him. And from that complete and total surrender at the foot of the Cross you will find that all things flow and the life that you lead in this world will come.

Seek nothing for yourself in this world. And be ready and willing to let it all go in a moment at the Word of Christ. If you do not, you are not fit to follow Him. And you will remain where you are, by your choice; Dead, alone, with a few toys and trinkets you got for selling out. And you'll occasionally gather with those who are similar to you and have made the same compromised choice to encourage each other that you are O.K. "We did the right thing ... Right? After all, a man's got to eat? How can i take care of my family? Blah, Blah, Blah ..."

You know in your heart if you are following Him. If you've surrendered all. You also know your hidden motives, secret pleasures, deepest desires ... You think God doesn't see those too? And you think He won't make those known when and where necessary? Don't fool yourself. He knows.

Be real. Be honest. Come into the Light (fully). Drop the dead weights and the parasitic people when God reveals to you who they are. It's not your problem to solve. He is the Savior, not you. If they turn they too can be healed, saved and set free. Again, it's not your problem to solve. You've said your piece. Move on.

Yours is to walk on, following and trusting Jesus. To walk on, alone when necessary (if that is what it feels like to you then call it that and embrace it, this too is the will of God).

All is a gift from Him, even the loneliness. We recieve with grateful hearts what He provides us on this journey. Don't take your eyes off Him for a moment; it's when you do that you begin to sink. If you keep your eyes on Him, trust and obey, you will walk on water all the days of your life.

In Christ,

Rope A Dope

2010-09-12T14:58:00.000-07:00

Classic strategy. Let your enemy spend himself. Let your enemy pull out all the stops and relentlessly thrash you with everything he has, and you take it. You endure the punishment for a window of time ...

To the saints of God in America; you are in a Rope A Dope situation. And the enemy is pulling out everything he can to antagonize, discredit, harm, discourage, kill the saints of God and block the Truth from the people. Yours is a call to endure and to wait on the Spirit of God. Soon there will be a call from His Spirit, "now is the time of reversal". It will come at that moment where the enemy has spent himself to take you out and you've not gone down. You are still in the fight, still pressing on, enduring to the end. That moment draws near where God now tells you to get off the ropes and strike. His Spirit rises up inside of you, comes upon you to do His will.

Our battle is not with flesh and blood, the war is fought and won in the Spirit. There are demonic forces attempting to provoke God's hand and to push Biblical events to happen earlier than God intends. It won't work. In fact, it will backfire. God won't be provoked, rather He will embarrass those who try too manipulate His hand to act. That which the Devil intends for evil God will cause to work for Good! There will be a reversal in America, a push back from the True people of God as led by the Spirit, amidst all that transpires in the days to come. It will come on God's timing, once the enemy reaches the peak of frustration that all of his efforts to kick this into high gear are not working. No, the enemies of God will get bogged down into an unanticipated quagmire of internal contempt, external incompetence and spiritual impotence as their powers wane prior to them being completely stripped in the soon coming confrontation where Light rises up.

Fear not people of God, He has allowed all that has come to pass so that evil could be manifest and shown for what it is. They are exposed now. Prepare yourselves for the call to action. Don't go down. Don't give up. The call is coming.

In Christ,

Nothing To Say

2010-09-01T13:01:00.000-07:00

We have nothing to say unless the Spirit of God moves us to speak. There is nothing we desire to do unless God is in it. Why would we want to move, act, speak unless it was motivated by His Spirit?

When everything done apart from the Spirit of God is dry, withering up and dead, who in their right minds (i.e. the Mind of Christ) would want to be a part of dead works and that which has no true value? Not us. Not the true Children of God.

Moreover, the Children of God do not care to build up a following (that is what the worlders do for the sake of harnessing power which they lack in themselves). We have no need of man-made power, we have a greater source in connection to the Father. The source of all Power that is superior to all others rests in Him. Why would we ever desire an inferior and limited source?

We lose all, only to find that we have actually gained all in Him. Most try to get the latter and miss the former; the necessary step to discipleship and following Christ. We have no room to sugar coat the Gospel. The raw pill to be swallowed is death NOW to everything you ever desired or hoped for in yourself apart from Him. There is no other way around your own personal crucifixion (just so you know, the paradox is that it is also the path to true Life).

DON'T you ever be counted among those who repackage their worldly ambitions in a Jesus box. You think that fools the God of this Universe who sees all, knows all, and judges the motives and intentions of the Heart? How do you think He will deal with those that use His Name (misrepresenting Him) to try and advance their own worldly carnal agendas? It is purely His mercy granting them a space of time to repent rather than withdrawing their breath from them this very moment and casting their souls into a well deserved and chosen hell.

You're not fooling anyone for long. Truthfully, who you are and what you are about will be visible and tangibly known TO ALL and for ALL ETERNITY! If you are fooling anyone it is just for a short time on this side of life. Once you cross over the very same people on the otherside will say "Oh ..." when they see and understand who you really are.

To those who live in the Light they understand on this side, they understand this day. We see clearly what is what and who is who. There are no more surprises. We knew who Judas was and what he would eventually do from the first day that he joined our company. But God's will be done. We carry on fully knowing that those who betray us walk alongside us with a smile, looking for their opportunity. No matter. They cannot touch our souls, nor can they direct our eternity which rests in God's hands as we have put our trust in Him. We will run our course here. We do exercise wisdom when and where necessary, not seeking unnecessary martyrdom (another elaborate form of self-will and personal elevation).

We do what He says, when He says, how He says, with whom He says. All flows from the Head which is Christ. Beautiful fellowship and peace is available in Him, to those who are now grafted in through the work of the cross and the blood of Jesus. Alas, it is simple. It may not be easy, but it certainly is simple.

To him (or her) that has an ear, let them hear.

Counter Strike

2010-08-18T13:27:00.000-07:00

Ah yes, the turnaround. We love it! It's not all the time getting shot down, kicked around, beaten and left for dead. Whenever God feels like it His Spirit rises up in us and in a moment reminds our enemies and the entire World System that Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

In a moment He dumbfounds them all. And it just takes a moment, just one incident to knock over their entire house of cards. While they labor and strive against the children of God with deliberate and diabolical schemes hatched in the realm of the demonic, in just a moment in can all come to naught. Remember Daniel in the Lions den? The wicked thought they had it all figured out. They had dotted their "I"s and crossed their "T"s. The one factor that the wicked men who plotted against Daniel never counted on was God having something to say about it.

And God didn't have to do much. He just told His angel to keep the lions mouths shut for the night. Oh, the lions would get fed soon enough!! God feeds the lions, the birds, and those who seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness. He takes care of His own. The wicked ALWAYS reap what they have sown.

The realization of the true state of affairs often comes for the saints of God when they are in their darkest hour. It is at that time when they continue to look to God and He moves, and the Light breaks forth, THEN they understand!

It's all good in Jesus. Don't worry about a thing! Down for a moment but God's people are never out. Whereas the wicked are laid low in a moment and they never recover. Wicked Be Warned: You cross the wrong one, if you cross one marked for God you have a date with the lions ... and they've gotten really hungry overnight. The moment you realize what you've done is the moment when your scheme collapsed and you are hurtling to your cowardly death screaming in fear. You crossed a true child of God, playing a game with your soul and you lost.

Oops! ;-)

A Cruel Joke

2010-08-10T14:01:00.001-07:00

At times that can be what this life feels like. Why hope for what never seems to come? Why want and have any desire to only have them thwarted or ripped from under you at the first hint of being fulfilled ... Pain and tears. Most don't want that. How could a loving God allow that?

So people look for the quick fix. How do i get what i want? "God didn't come through, and doesn't it say that He helps those who help themselves?" (please catch the necessary sarcasm).

Desires, hopes, emotions, dreams. To have them is pain and sorrow. The Buddhist suggestion is to empty yourself of all desire, and in doing so you will be free. The logic being that if you want nothing and desire nothing then there is nothing holding you back, nothing that can make you sad or rampage your emotional state as you twist and turn in a churning sea of unfulfilled hopes and expectations. O.K. So empty yourself. Go ahead ... Not so easy is it.

You don't live in a vacuum and also the human being is a vessel. If one thing goes out something else comes in. It is the nature of the human being to be filled with something. That is why the followers of Christ are instructed to be "filled with the Holy Spirit."

Note: To let go is important. You will serve nothing else besides Christ. All other hopes, desires and dreams fall at the foot of that Cross. It is a death, and a painful one at that. Pain because you thought you had a right to that hope or desire. We have no rights as slaves of Christ. We are soldiers for Him to do with as He wishes. That said, know that He is kind, He is just. He is trying to give us His best (the abundant life) if only we'd trust Him enough to recieve it.

It is painful, but He is cutting the cancer of self out of you. It is the will of God that your desires, hopes and dreams be manifest in their fullness, only to be crushed completely until there is nothing left but Him in you. No hope but Him. No desire, no dream but Him. Nothing left but Jesus. And from that place He can make out of you what He wills unto His glory, with your full compliance and willful participation in the process. You are nothing but a dejected mess on the floor in tears before the Father. He likes that, He can do something with that. Let a man think he has something he can offer to God that is of value and you meet a man that is yet to be broken in that area and all others underlying it. Completely shattered lives turned over to Him.

Does it scare you to be so utterly broken? Does it scare you to allow the hand of God to shape and fire you? To burn every hope and desire out of you till there is nothing left but Him. Why does is scare you? It is the path of freedom. He allows for your weeping with promise. That though your weeping may last for the night, His joy comes in the morning.

In Christ,

Why So Downcast?

2010-08-01T12:08:00.001-07:00

"Why so downcast oh my soul, put your hope in God." ... A lyric i remember from my younger church going days. The days when i just went because i went; the days that i believed that the men in charge were all legitimate, the days when we were gonna save the world and all those lost souls going to hell ... I think the tooth fairy was still around then too.

The lyric does stands true, put you hope in God! The would be rulers have since fallen and at best are just regular men pretending to be something they are not. The need to evangilize the world ... Well, it needed to be put into perspective to the fact that "No one comes to the Father unless the Spirit draws him" and realizing that activities outside of that work of the Father are acts of human self will and something done apart from Him. Better to pray and ask that the Father would cross your path with someone that He is drawing unto Himself, rather than seeking to go out there and win the world to Jesus. The bulk of the people walking around don't want Him. They want a show, they want to be entertained, they want to be healed, success in business, someone to marry, healthy kids, a big home, friends, and answer to their inconvenient problems ... But not Jesus. No they don't want Jesus unless he is of use to them. And while they would use Jesus if they could, they don't love Him (the Real Jesus). They don't even like Him.

Why do I write stuff like this? Because i'm not one for the farce. When you see in Spirit it becomes painfully evident the hearts and motives of people ... And He knows! You think He doesn't know, you think He doesn't see? You think He is anything like fallen humanity? You think He can be stopped when He chooses to act? You think there is a ruler or a man of status and position that can buy his way out when the very breath he is borrowing is withdrawn? It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.

Father wants His people to be real and raw with Him. Open up your heart and let there be real communication (for some of you this will be the first time in your lives). Rend your hearts, not your garments. Skip the show and be real with Him!

It's time to move on. Let us be the ones to break it to you, there is no tooth fairy. What is real is becoming clear as eyes are being open and He is giving sight to the blind. Are you willing to wake up?

In Christ,

The Spin They Are In

2010-07-29T02:11:00.001-07:00

One nice thing about Truth, it never changes. It remains constant, consistent, eternal. When you tell the Truth you never have to remember what you said last. There is a glorious freedom in being a person of Truth.

It sucks to be a liar. They create different grades too in partial hopes of easing a searing conscious: White lies, Black lies, a fib, Spin, information management, la la la la la ...

Why does it suck to be a liar? Well, first off the Devil is your father (he's known as the father of lies). We know that Christ wins in the end, so that makes the liar the son or daughter of a loser. That sucks. Talk about bad genetics.

Secondly, a liar live in a world of shifting sands. Nothing is real, nothing is consistent, reality is based on a "perception of truth" and not on actual Truth. Just wait till you have to make an important decision when you choose to live and be a participant in a world like that. You can't make a good decision because in order to make a good decision you need the right information. And if what you have are various forms of lies and spin and you can't tell the difference because your heart is not tuned to the frequency of Truth ... Well, it's best for those people to not leave the house. Never give a liar any responsibility, you're guaranteed they will screw up. What else can you expect from the son of a loser.

Third reason it sucks to be a liar; the company you have to keep. People of Truth don't mix for long with liars least they be tainted. Truth lovers move on to where there is Truth. They leave liars where they are. Consequentally, liars are left to hang out with other liars. And liars suck as friends, but if you are one that is what you'll be stuck with as your company. And when it's all based on perception in those circles you'd better not ever get old, sick, wane in worldly power or die. If you do you are screwed.

Fourth reason it sucks to be a liar; you'll never have any peace ... ever. Internal peace, external peace, forget it. Your life will just be one churning, froth filled mess. NOTE: There is a group of people who have a physiological, chemical addiction to their existence being like that. But if there is any part of you that hopes for peace in life know you'll never find it in the company of liars or if you are one yourself.

There is such a beautiful simplicity and amazing peace in being a person of Truth. Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6). Remain in Him, remain in Truth. Reject the lies and have no part. Let the liars continue to suck. People of Truth, You rock!

In Christ,

Push Pull

2010-07-24T13:03:00.001-07:00

It's that strange unsettled feeling inside the core of a true saint of the living God. Just as we are granted Peace within when the world around us (the external world) is seemingly falling apart, there is the otherside as well. That strange unsettled feeling within, restlessness, uneasiness, when all around you is seemingly fine and under control. Bizarre. We don't function the same way as the world does. We don't move on their clock. We move as the Spirit leads. As He has us go forth into His will at His timing. While anytime is fine for them, God has His perfect timing for all things among His people.

When you feel unsettled, it is a good thing. Though it may feel like a burr under your saddle it is God's way of stirring you within. It's the same stirring that caused Abram to leave his father's house and set out into what God had called him for.

To ignore the unsettling is to ignore the Spirit stirring you. Settle yourself under His presence and seek his face for direction. You want His will. You need His will. It is your food, to do the will of the Father. To ignore His will is to starve your spirit.

Watch for the traps along the way. Those "it's o.k. to stop here" or "... God couldn't really mean that." and the like. They come from well meaning people that are often close to you. They would have you save your life; to live to fight another day. But God would have you follow Him into the Lion's den, knowing that He who took you in there can also bring you back out. And like the Hebrew boys said in Daniel chapter 3, even if He doesn't spare us we still won't bow. We will not seek to save our bodies at the cost of our souls. It is a fools trade that most make because they know not God, nor do they trust in Him.

You are made for Him. Walk in that calling and in His Passion. Blessings to you.

True To Form

2010-07-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

Personal Post:

Well, last Saturday's live show with our good friend Zeph had to be cancelled last minute because the T-1 connection and the power to their studio was cut several hours before the show. And the faithmix webmaster and I have both come under uncommon physical attacks from Saturday onwards.

Not surprising :-)

Understand that we are in a spiritually hostile environment to the Light that we carry. And that darkness will work to hinder the ministry of the true Saints as we follow the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit. That is what those powers and demonic agents are there for. That is their assignment and their job and I for one am grateful for what they do (yes, grateful). It infact refines us, and makes us more able to do the work the Father has for us as we progress. It makes us rise up. We get stronger with each battle we come through in Christ Jesus. Remember that He causes everything to work together for the good and His purposes, if you have eyes to see from His perspective.

All that said, i do ask that for those of you who routinely listen in and are blessed by the broadcasts, writings, Spirit led productions, etc. of faithmix or any of these associated ministries that you make sure to do one thing above all:

Pray for us. Pray for us consistently from this day forward.

That is the best way you can say thank you to this ministry if you are indeed grateful for anything that you have received here. Spirit led prayer is what makes the space for us to do what we do. It negates the attacks of the enemy in advance of them even manifesting and provides cover for us in even the most hostile of spiritual, mental and physical conditions. Prayer works. It is a powerful weapon. Use it. And use it on behalf of your brothers and sisters that you know are out there and have given up their lives for the Kingdom and to be of service to you. Failure to do this is to only sit and be willing to just take from those who have already given up everything. Don't be a parasite. It will make you miserable. And enough of the victim mentality. You are a warrior in Christ Jesus. Would to God that just fifty of the people who listen in took on the assignment at hand. You would be amazed what happen under such circumstances.

Don't stand by and let the true ones get targeted and picked off. The difference between Peter not suffering the same fate as James in the book of Acts was the mobilized prayers of the saints. It was recorded in the scriptures for a reason. We are coming into a time where this will be increasingly necessary in order for us to function in anything external and on behalf of others. While we are now in season as far as this ministry is concerned we are also at a time of narrowing windows of opportunity for some things that need to be done ... Anyway. Pray.

Looking forward to catching up with Zeph on the rescheduled live WWCR broadcast this Saturday at 12 Noon EST. You can tune in on your radios in the States and also live stream the show online for those of you overseas.

God bless you,

Govinda

Innocence, Peace, Truth, Love

2010-07-11T23:17:00.001-07:00

Never forget friends that the battle the world fights is for your mind, your thoughts and your volition (free will decision in your heart of hearts). Accordingly, when you know the game afoot by the system that is the sworn enemy of your soul (and of our Lord Jesus Christ) you can take deliberate steps to safeguard your soul and fight the good fight of faith.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. And out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Basically what is in you will come out, so focus on making sure that what's in you is aligned with the Kingdom and focused on Him. Since the Kingdom is within (Luke 17:20-21) the world will do all it can to keep you "without" distracted by the cares, riches, pleasures, ... whatever your flavor may be that you are willing to buy consistently.

So, with all the bombardment surrounding you what can you do? For starters, chose this day whom you will serve (Jesus or the World/Devil). Matthew 7 is a frightful thing, so word of advice there; don't lie to yourself or allow yourself to live under a strong delusion. Ask God "... Lord, if I'm missing it would you please show me." Best to find out on this side so you can patch it up if necessary.

For those walking on the right path and following Jesus. As you let Him take you within amidst the journey of life focus on: Innocence, Peace, Truth, Love.

INNOCENCE
You can't enter the Kingdom (within) unless you accept it like a child in relationship to their Father. It is what it is, you take it as it comes, your every desire is to just be with Him and you have no agenda. A child is not thinking of career, bills, the end of the world, etc. Leave those cares without and just enter in trusting Him. Innocence is found in giving yourself over completely to the will of the Father and accepting/desiring His will above all.

PEACE
A sea of glass within amidst the external storms of life is what Jesus promised those who would follow Him His way. You can have that for your entire journey in this life. But know that the world will seek to rob you of your peace and force the outside world which they can affect into the inner world of your heart which they cannot affect without your personal consent. Guard your heart and your focus for out of it comes the issues of life.

TRUTH
Jesus is Truth (John 14:6) and His people are people of Truth. Seek the Truth, don't eat the lies (don't allow yourself to take them in). This calls not only for a heart that desires Truth in the inner most parts of your being, but also for discernment and a spiritual filter that you run things through. God gives Truth to those who love and desire it, to the rest He gives a strong delusion.

LOVE
It's a Kingdom of Love. God is Love. All the commandments are summed up in Love. Love conquerors all! Love Him with ALL your heart, soul, mind and strength. And Love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you and use you. Hold no bitterness or unforgiveness in your Heart. Let it go and leave it without so that you can enter the Kingdom within and walk with Jesus. Shackles off, free and clear to be what God made you to be.

Life is a gift, it is meant to be lived to the full in Him.

Blessings in Christ,

The faithmix team

Not The Savior

2010-07-04T13:13:00.001-07:00

You and I are NOT the Savior! You and I are not the ones to Fix the world. We live in a time of false Saviors (false Messiahs), those who stand up and seek to draw followers after themselves in their humanity. No no NO! They have nothing if they don't have Jesus. Fluff and window dressing wrapped up in a Public Relations bow. Hollow.

We are Ambassadors! Ambassadors of the Truth, Ambassadors of the Light, Ambassadors of His Purposes in the earth at such a time as this. Though we walk and move in His power we are not the source. The only reason we have anything is because we are connected to the source through the Spirit/Cross/Blood/Name of Jesus! He is all and in all and flows through all. He works in yielded vessels. Those who have surrendered their free will to the True Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Beware of Man, those who would try to come and make you something that you are not. As you reflect His Glory they seek to lift you up. Remember your place. We are servants of the most High God. It is the folly of Lucifer to seek to ascend beyond God's role and plan for you. You're out of position. And when you are out of position with God you are no longer connected to the source. You are now among the crowd of those who seek to "fake it till they make it" ... However, they never really make it (and they know it, though they'd never tell you or you wouldn't buy their books, tapes, religious wares).

Stay in Step with Jesus. Stay in position. Let it all be what it is. Live a life of connection to the source and for those who would care and that He would draw, point them to the Source for themselves. He is a limitless source, life for all that would come to Him and drink the waters of Life. As an ambassador we have the joy of pointing the way. You are not the way. Point to the Way to Him and keep moving.

In Christ,

No More Mediators

2010-06-27T13:43:00.001-07:00

For those who know Him, you know for yourself that there is no one that stands between you and Him. You know that you have direct access to your heavenly Father through the blood of Jesus Christ.

That said, it gets very difficult for them to make a Buck/Euro/Pound/Rupee off of you if you walk in that reality. Heaven forbid that people come to the realization that they don't need most of the crap they allow themselves to be sold in general. Spirituality is no exception. People buy the line of dead religion and they accept, time and again, these self proclaimed mediators or those approved of by the systems of men. God has no mediators besides Christ Jesus. He does have ambassadors. And His ambassadors simply exist as representatives of the Kingdom of God. At God's leading they point the way to Him, but never stand in the way of Him. Their presence is a blessing and an encouragement, but the only requirement for all who would walk in freedom is Jesus.

God made you to look to Him and Him alone. If there is anyone standing between you and your relationship with Him you are missing what God has for you. It is a mark of a true minister of the Gospel that you are even LESS in need of their support today than you were yesterday. They help support you along from spiritual Childhood into spiritual maturity so that you can fulfill God's call and purpose for You (not to fulfill their agendas). True ministers of the Gospel are not looking for followers for they themselves are followers of Christ Jesus, our good shepherd. We all follow Him for ourselves, and we remain on that path no matter what.

Though they try, you know the truth. You don't need them. You have everything you need in Christ Jesus.

In Christ,

Crazy pills

2010-06-26T05:46:00.001-07:00

Yep, that seems like what most of the world has been taking. Crazy pills :-) To the worlders White is black, dark is light, evil is called good, bondage is called freedom, fools are called intellectuals ... You get the idea.

When you flip everything to it's opposite from the garbage they try to sell you things start making sense. Reality is actually much simpler than most people allow for it to be.

There are really only two kinds of people in this world. Those who Know Him (Father, Yahweh, Jesus the Christ), and those who do not. The manifestations of those two groups of people takes on many different shapes and forms across nations and people groups around the world, but they ultimately have one of two bases from which all lives are built. Houses built on the Rock which is Christ Jesus, or houses built on the sands of this world and it's pathetic system.

Alas, be grateful my dear brothers and sisters that Christ Jesus saved you! That He brought out of a meaningless life and give you real reason for existing. You have Life in Him! You have purpose and reason for being in Him. Life beyond the perpetuation of the same old tired dead world system, a house of cards at best soon to be blown down with a simple breath of God. Their system folds, and when it goes down it goes down ugly. Meanwhile, God's kingdom continues to grow and fill the whole earth unto a glorious beautiful eternal creation that starts from within. You are part of His Kingdom, allow Him to manifest Himself fully through you by your free will. Turn your life over to Him completely and ask Him to have His way.

"Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done ..."

Come Lord Jesus,

Irony. We get caught up in it again and again, this temporal life and all its trappings and drama. It's easy to do, for it surrounds you when you open your eyes in a physical world. However, this world remains the dream, the illusion. All that is here is but for a moment, a flash, and then it is gone. Then you are gone, on to the next dimension. The new paradigm. To some it will be eternal joy and bliss in Christ Jesus as they shed this mortal body and put on immortality. To others it will be terror and dread as they realize the gravity of their decision to choose death instead of life in Him.

Alas, we exist in time. Like Jesus, for a "Bitty Time", we come into this world. This is not our home, we are visitors and pilgrims here. We are just passing through. And yet, we pass through as lights passing through the darkness. We pass through as roaring fires amidst fields of chaff when we walk with God and anointed with the fire of His Holy Spirit. We change the game. We destroy the game. Just by being who we were meant to be in Him.

Don't worry that they hate you. That they conspire against you. That they spend long hours trying to figure out how to snare you, to bleed you dry, to kill you if were possible. It's par for the course. And God's people continue to walk through on the heads of serpents and the backs of scorpions. It infuriates them that you go through praising Jesus. Especially when you go through unawares of their venom and malice. When their best shot to you is just brushed off and you keep moving, enraptured in the love of God.

Oh, it's a beautiful thing. To be His and to exist in time; in this dimension. To be a part of the grand adventure that is unfolding for His people. Amazing things are just around the corner for those who walk with Him.

Keep up :-)

Thoughts of a freed man ...

2010-06-23T12:28:00.001-07:00

Yes, yes. I am a freed man. Well, in process but at least on the path that is freedom and leads to increased liberation day after day in Christ Jesus. Unlike the world, that moves towards increased bondage with every step. Our path is free, our step are light as we've dropped the weights that hold down the soul so we can run our race with Joy.

Don't worry about the worlders. Don't worry about the sell outs to the world system. They are getting their run around the track right now and even that one they will finish out of breath and in complete misery. They are nothing in the grand scheme of things, soon to be forgotten and disguarded in the pages of eternity. In the not too distant future those who seem important in the eyes of the world will fail to even warrant a mention when their lives fail to pass the litmus test for eternal passage. ONLY that which has been done in Christ will last.

Run your race, enjoy the ride. Be all you can be in the Army of the Lord. And don't be distracted by the meaningless dribble oozing out of the sinking ship of this world system. The drowning man panicks more and more until his ultimate demise, unless he is saved before the inevitable. We offer that hope to those who would recieve it. A way off of the Titanic, if they will just recieve the gift of God; eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is a Good time for God's people. Now is the time that we move into our role in a much stronger way. Our season and our hour is upon us for this round of the Lord's Saints. Those Holy Warriors who know the voice of their Savior and will not follow another. Those who have walked with Him through Hell and high water and remain pursuaded that He is able to do abundaltly above and beyond anything we could ask or think. Truly God is in control. Never forget that amidst the voices of doubters, the fearful and the mockers of this world. Let the dead bury the dead. You just keep following Jesus, day by day, no matter what.

He's got you in the palm of His hand and He will surely see you through everything. Nothing can seperate us from His love. You can walk away of your free will, but if you choose to stay with Him the hordes of Hell cannot move you even an inch away from His love. Nothing is stronger in this universe than the Love of God for you.

Remain in His peace. Don't worry. Get on with it.

In Christ,

The Transformation

2010-04-11T09:11:00.000-07:00

It is perhaps one of the toughest transitions for every saint, to move to the mind of Christ and out of the mind of our human soul (that analytical outer layer of thinking). Perhaps because the soul is not something to be cast out, trodden underfoot, warred against. It is part of you and it will be to the day you die. But it must be brought into subjection to the Spirit of Christ that lives in you. His voice must be the stronger one in you, and the default for those who would walk in the Spirit. The soul is that part of us to whom there is a way that seems right to but in the end leads to death:

Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

For those who have not bowed before the lordship of Jesus Christ, it is that soul man that they look too, or counsel from the kingdom of darkness and the demonic (though they would call it something else, but for those with their eyes open they understand). The kings of the earth trust their collective souls and the energies of the demonic to grant them solutions to their problems, power and immortality. However, they will all find that their kingdoms in the end will be true to the vision of Daniel:

Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

It is a warning to all, especially the elite in the eyes of the world to realize their position in the eyes of the Lord of all.

Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

As for us, followers of Christ Jesus, we must persist on the path. There are stages in this thing and each one is a blessing if you press on and press through. Realize that the world around you will melt down more any more but if you press through with Christ you have peace amidst the storm in all that takes place in the days to come. Do not be dismayed when the world around you looks like this:

For these things MUST come in the days ahead as we progress and all is fulfilled.

Mens' hearts will fail them when they see all that is coming on the earth in the days ahead. Men who do not know, do not trust and do not walk with the Lord.

Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. (Prov 3:5-6) He will direct you and lead you into a way where you learn to walk in spirit and not your soul or your flesh. The flesh is more obvious than the soul, but both need to be brought under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our place is to submit our will to His and to trust Him. He knows what He is doing with us. Amidst the turmoil there is life, peace and provision for His people.

Blessings in Christ,

You Can't Stay There ...

2010-02-02T09:50:00.000-08:00

When Jesus Calls you, you can't stay there. You can't stay where you are, where you were. Because now, everything is different. It all looks different, it all feels different, it all IS different. The Word has come into your situation and that Word requires that you move if you want to remain in step with your Creator. That Word requires that you would walk with life in the direction that He is calling you into. That Word is a divider of the heart and reveals the soul. The Word has come, how now do you respond. Do you rationalize it with your carnal mind ... "Surely He doesn't expect me to do THAT?" It would be irresponsible, it is irrational, it goes against the plan I have for this little life of mine that I've made.

Let it go. There is no life for you in your own way. Let it go and trust God. Follow Him. Those that followed Him and really got it understood the truth of the matter, that there was nowhere else that they could go because HE had the Words of eternal life. And if life is what you want you will go with Jesus. If Truth is what you want you will go with Jesus. If the abundance of what life was truly meant to be is what you want in the core of your being you will sure enough go with Jesus. But for the cowardly, for the doubters, for the religious, for the merchants of the gospel and the hirelings, they will not follow. They remain in proximity only as long as there is a benefit to be had from Jesus. But most of them drop off long before the cross. They drop off at the first mention of a difficult teaching that challenges their comfort zone and their pathetic little lives in this world.

JESUS, there is no other way! There is no other path to enlightenment, to Truth, to victory, to overcoming in this life. Jesus is the way, the Truth, the life. He is the light that came into this dark world and showed the way for all who are called and desire to be with Him.

When He calls, you cannot stay there. Where it was that you were before you heard the call. You are called to move, and to keep moving till the day you leave this world. We are a migrant people, a pilgrim people, a people of the wilderness on a journey to the promise land. A promise land that we have simultaneously found in Him. Eternal life is not something that we wait to start happening some place in the future. Eternal life is now! He is I AM! Walk with Him and find out truly what it is that you have been missing.

What is required from you is absolute surrender to His plan and purpose. Absolute giving over to the King of kings for His plan an purposes. No reservation, no plan of your own, no hope, no dream, nothing other than what He would have of you and what He provides for you. Those who give themselves over to Him completely and allow for Him to mold them into His image, they in truth are disciples. Disciplined under the Hand of God and meet for the Master's use.

Remember my friends, you have one life and one chance in this life to walk with Him. When you hear His voice, harken unto what He says and move with Him.

In Christ,

Expect the Unexpected

2010-01-27T09:57:00.000-08:00

It is a fallacy of the religion of Christianity (not to be confused with the real relationship with God, they are SOOOOoooo different); there is no romance in their system, no adventure, no abundant life. No expectation for anything more than success in the world to which they have submitted themselves too. Success in the world is considered by the sellouts to the system to be the blessing of God ... yikes.

It's not about that. If you have a lot, fine. If you don't have much, fine. It doesn't matter. What does matter is where you are with your Creator. Do you know Him? Do you walk with Him? Or do you rely on others to tell you that you are O.K.? When you have a problem that comes up in your life, where do you go first? Who do you run too? ... hmm.

People of God learn to expect the unexpected. There are wonderful treasures for us that unfold in the journey as we walk with Him. It is a really nice bonus to the abundant life that we have in Him. It keeps things exciting, fun, adventurous. You never know what is around the next turn but you look forward to it because you know that it is part of the journey.

Gosh, why are the people of God so afraid? Why do they sit back just watching life pass them by? Why are the promises of God to so many something that is debated, studied, rationalized ... and NEVER lived! He made you to LIVE, so get out there and LIVE! (LIVE Damn it, LIVE! :-) How do you do that? Well to start with you need to take Him at His Word. If you don't believe what He said you'll just stop right there in your tracks and never take another step. If you don't believe that He is able to provide for you, protect you, direct you, meet the needs of your heart ... well, you'll just end up looking back to Egypt or Sodom for what it is that you left behind after you took a few steps out of the world and it's broken system.

It's not easy my friends. Your faith is meant to be tested! It is meant to be something that is shown to be what it truly is. It is meant to be refined in the fire of battle and the experiences of life as you walk with Him. You just keep holding on to Him and He will take you through. And he will lead you ... He will lead you even into the Valley of the Shadow of Death (Ps 24) but you need not fear any evil for He is most certainly with you. Why wouldn't He be? He took you there, and He will take you through too. You'll come to the other side with and amazing testimony and a rock solid faith and trust that surely He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly past anything you can expect or think. You need to Trust Him. Not some time in the future, you need to trust Him NOW! You need to believe that He is who He said He is and get on with it.

How do you get on with it? Well, what was the last thing that He told you to do? Start with that. Go, do it now.

In Christ,

A People of I AM

2010-01-26T10:39:00.000-08:00

Interestingly enough, many profess to follow Christ but refuse the Truth. That in itself is a contradiction since He is Truth. You cannot love Christ if you do not love Truth. Along the same lines He is the Light that came into the world. Light exposes and reveals things for what they are. But men rather darkness because their deeds (and hearts) are evil, so they stray from the light and move away from it.

Another paradox is in place. If any man is apart from Him then he like a branch that is broken off, withering, dying, drying up and getting ready to ultimately be burned. Those drying up don't like the feeling of being dry. They want life, but refuse to go the source of life because of what is required from Him. The will not of their free will have the Son of God rule over them. They have no king but Caesar (John 19:15) and they bow their knee to the world and it's system. Though they have a form of godliness, they truly deny the power there of. But because they have no life in them ... they must feed. They must feed on the living, they must feed on the uninitiated, they must feed on the life of God in you. In order to do so they have to have access to that life in you. They find access in the dimension of spirit to drain the life of God in you through your mind (soul) and your flesh. If you are walking in right standing with God, if your flesh has been brought under subjection to your spirit (not walking in willful sin), if you are allowing God to transform your mind and give you the mind of Christ ... it becomes very difficult for the worlders to access the life of God in your. If you are walking in alignment with him in your entire being your power grows as do you. You move with what God is doing and you do so in Power! Not as a weak saint, just barely getting by. Holding on, just hoping for Jesus to come soon. Nay, You walk through this life as a bold son or daughter of the living God. Confident in who you are and what He has made you for. You walk through this life in the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, ready for what is at hand. Ready to be an instrument of His plan and purpose, one of destruction upon the works of the devil.

Remember, you only have one purpose in this life and that is to know Him. That is what life is!

"And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ." (John 17:3)

It's all about Him. Never forget that in the midst of all that is bombarding your being from this world and its broken system. It is all about Jesus, all of it. Know Him, love Him, walk with Him, pursue Him, Trust HIM! He knows what He is doing and will carry you through as you hold on to His hand in the midst of pressing odds and tribulation on every side.

You were made and brought into this life for such a time as this. Enjoy the journey because if you go through it with Him you will know and understand what life really is and was always meant to be.

Blessings in Christ Jesus,

A Psalm

2009-04-19T02:15:00.000-07:00

Oh, what a wonderful Lord we serve!
How excellent are your ways oh Lord.
How magnificent are your thoughts towards Your people,
toward those who are called by Your Name.
You are King, enthroned on Most High.

Your rule is secure.
Your reign is eternal.
Your power, limitless.
Your love, boundless.
Your anger, fierce.
Your justice, perfect.
Your jealousy, perfect ...

You will not share Your Bride with any man.
You will not compete for her affections with idols.
You desire complete and total devotion.
You will have no other gods before You.

You and You alone are to be praised.
May my lips and my heart glorify you all of my days.
May my body declare your praises as the temple of the living God.
May my eyes see your glory and Your Kingdom come in the earth as in Heaven.
So let it be Oh Lord, So let it be.

So let the wicked fall to their knees in pain,
under the weight of their sins and the blood that has been shed by their own hands.
Those who have thumbed their noses at you,
let their hands and faces be severed in this time.
Let them see and know the folly of their ways.
If they be Yours, then draw them to Yourself.
If not, then cut them off in your anger for what they have done to Your people and how they have profaned Your Holy Name.

Oh, bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me.
Bless His Holy Name.

Amen and Amen.

2008 projections

2008-01-14T10:47:00.001-08:00

Going into this year I reflect on a vision God showed me towards the latter part of 2007 ...

I was soring as an eagle above the earth. I was in the dimension of the 3rd heavens, beyond both the 1st and 2nd heavens. Underneath me was a cloud and the barrier of the second heavens (the point of limitation for all demonic forces and those tied to the earth, they cannot progress past that point). I was not alone as I soared in this dimension, there were others. Not many, but there were others.

Then the cloud pulled back and I saw the earth and all that was happening on it. The earth was in turmoil; Violence, war, women were being raped, disasters everywhere ... all this was taking place on the face of the earth. From the place of the 3rd heavens and this dimension of Spirit God instructed those who soared in this dimension to launch targeted attacks as instructed by God against specific works of the Devil. And like lasers they incinerated every target God had designated.

The laser guided prayers decimated specific works of the devil, this put the demons below into a frenzy. They were very much like angry bees locked inside a glass jar, smacking up against the barrier between them and the 3rd Heaven. Those who soared were beyond the reach of the satanic hordes. These are those who have connected up with their true selves in eternity and continue to operate in the current dimension you experience now.

That time is now upon us. For those who have allowed the Spirit of God to prepare them, it is a glorious time of purpose, conquest upon the works of the devil, a season of the miraculous. For those still existing within the world in the 1st heaven they will only suffer loss. For those who are deluded to the state of their spiritual progress who have only crossed into the 2nd heavens, they will find that they are locked in with a bunch of angry bees.

The lines have been drawn, the dye is cast. The true sons of God arise at this time and soar in the midst of calamity above it all, carried with the wind of the Spirit beyond the reach of any and every bondage. And from the dimension of Spirit, they in turn destroy the works of the devil as God sees fit at this time. 2008 is a wonderful year for the Saints, and a terrible year for the worlders.

If your on the side of the world ... well, sucks to be you.

On forgiveness ...

2007-12-10T23:32:00.000-08:00

"... and Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors ... But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matt 6:11,15)

It's all about forgiveness. We experience God's love in experiencing His forgiveness. God forgives us and we ... well, what do we do with that? Forgiveness is divine. It is something in the character and nature of God, not found in fallen man. At best, fallen man may give others a pass on things they have done in exchange for some benefit. I'll let this slide cause the benefit outweighs the cost. Or Blackmail ... lifelong blackmail. "You owe me, you will always owe me!" The mail turned black rotting in the clenched fist.

The question persists in our minds, "why is it so hard for US to forgive?" Why do we wrestle with our humanity and the core of our being to do the that which the Father commands? We hold and harbor hurts, punishing those who we believed harmed us again and again in our minds and hearts.

Does it come more natural for some than others? Possibly. Some people seem to just let is go easier ... or at least it would appear that way. But what happens with others is just that; it's something that happened with someone else. What is the condition of your heart this day? What is the condition of my heart this day? Am I connected with the Father, with Truth? Am I walking in freedom? Why not if Christ has made it available? (Joh 8:36)

He can't set you free from jail if you refuse to walk out after he opens the door (Act 12, 16)

Our conclusion on the matter: The only true forgiveness and healing is found in Him. Just as forgiveness is only found in Christ, forgiveness is only possible through Christ. He must enable us to do that which we can not in our flesh and our natural ability. That is also why He taught us to pray to forgive others, before that teaching us "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Matt 6:10) What we can do is set our will every day to yield to the will of the Father.

Forgiveness is heavenly. Those who exist in that dimension have experienced it first had, simultaneously with the love of God. NOTE: Unforgiveness dwells on the past, whereas God is I AM. He is ever present; no past, no future, always in this very moment. There is no past in Him. To live in unforgiveness is to live outside of Him, bound in time and the temporal. In Christ forgiveness is ever present and eternal. Through those who live in Christ, true love and forgiveness flows into the earth in this day and age. It flows through our lives as Christ is manifest in us. What is our part? Yielding of the free will of a person to His instructions and the Word of God. The Word of God takes president over the will of flesh. In Christ the Word became flesh, now through Christ our flesh is transformed by the Word. We become like Him, but it requires that we yield ... every moment of every day.

If (and since) it is a struggle, just continue to cast everything upon the Lord. Choose to live light and free and in the higher octaves of Spirit. Leave that burden with Him. Let it die on the cross. Why carry it any longer? It just rots the soul. Once He reveals it to you, JUST CHOOSE to let it go. Choose to let the will of God to be manifest in your life. You yield to Him, His Spirit does the work in you.

Simple (but not easy). Persist "... to him who overcomes."
