Prayer

This Friday October 31, I am having a time of prayer. It will start at 7:00 pm and go however long it goes. Not only will we spend time in prayer, but also in worship. If someone that is gifted in worship would take the time and lead us in this, it would be greatly appreciated. I will have some info on Halloween available to read. Most importantly I want this to be a time lead by the Holy Spirit. Please come if it is possible. Thanks

Be blessed, Ken

His Space, not yours

Here we are on the Sunday before the eve of All Saints day (that is Halloween)and God gives me a word. Our conversations are fun and interesting. Like todays word which I will mention in a moment. First though I should mention that I was given this during worship this morning. There were other prophecies and the time did not properly present itself. When I was going to speak I was held back.  The prophecy given today was something that I needed to hear. It is encouraging to me and I’m sure for others.

So here is what I was given. “My children, I have a word for you today. This word is “spacious.” My alter is open  and vast. My Presence has room enough. As the voice of one calling from the desert. He said he was there to prepare the way. I have prepared the way for you. Come to me, I am expecting you. No one can take you from me. My Presence is intoxicating. I will fill you up. Be close to me and not worry. For the time is short and dark. I am the light of the world. No one sees beyond what I let them. Look with your spiritual eyes, not your earthly eyes. They deceive you. Come to me for there is plenty of room.”

He wants us to be with Him. That we may be ready when things really start to fall apart. That we really get to know Him. Have a desire to be  with Him more each day. Yet He has a warning for us. Its that we should not trust our own eyes. We see things and get the wrong impression or even something worse. We trust what we see, not Who we don’t physically see. God is all present. Lets start looking with our spiritual eyes. the closer we get, the better our “vision” gets. Spend time with Him today and start seeing things better.

Lastly, His word mentions the time getting short and “dark.” Halloween is close and its not about kids and candy. Satan is working ever so subtly to get us off track.  Halloween is all about evil and that’s it. More on this later. Just pray to God for wisdom in this area.

The Edge

During service this morning I saw someone standing near the edge of a cliff.They were standing contemplating what to do. This is what God says. “Don’t give up. I have not given up on you. You don’t see as I see. You don’t hear as I hear. What seems to be the end is only the beginning Step out in faith, because I have prepared a way.”

I f this is you or someone you know wait a moment. God is the only answer for you. Look around and see what is there before you. Take the time to talk to God. He will give the answer that is best for you. It may not be what you were thinking, but its the best for you at that moment. If its life threatening, take a step back and wait. For those who wait upon the Lord SHALL renew their strength. They SHALL mount up with wings as eagles. They SHALL run and not be weary. They SHALL walk and not faint.

If this is because of a relationship or a ministry, don’t think about what went wrong. Just ask God for a new direction and go forward. He has not left you alone to fight this battle. He has not left you alone to go by yourself. Be encouraged, HE has not forsaken you.

The River Pt. 1

One of the important parts of this blog is the tagline.”Go for a walk in the river. You won’t ever be the same.” I based this from Ezekiel 47:1-12. Its importance is about the closeness we can have with Jesus. In the gospel of John ch. 4 Jesus talk to the woman at the well about “living water.”

Back in Ezekiel we see a river that flows from under the south side of the temple. It also comes from south of the alter. When you put yourself in a position of being on the alter facing out, everything comes from the right. The right being a symbol of strength. A strength of Jesus is the life (river) he offers us through himself. When you read John 19:34 it says that he was pierced in his side bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. Although it does not tell us which side was pierced. It is believed to be the right side in order to weaken his strength. Still, when was the last time you cut yourself and had water flowing with the blood?

This river is described as being ankle deep, knee  deep, waist deep and so deep no one can cross it. A good picture of how close do we want to be with Jesus. Do we just test his presence or are we willing to go so far that we lose ourselves in Him.

In the next part we will look at the river in another aspect of life from Ezekiel ch. 47. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Pass the site on to friends and share God’s love and life with somwone.

His Rest

Today in church we had a really good service. Pastor Judy talked about new wine in new wineskin’s. God is pouring out new wine. Are you an old wineskin or a new one The old one will burst. The new one will hold the new wine. Which makes this an interesting post. Because the Lord gave me a word during worship today about His rest. Although there was really no time during worship to properly say His words. I will do it here.

He said this to me. ” My children, why do you not climb. My children, why do you not climb. Some of you have stopped. Some of you have decided to take the long road. I have set before you a plateau. Where my rest is. My presence is before you. Climb to my rest. For the day’s are dark and getting darker. Time is running out. My return is coming. I will return. But first, I must be known. They must hear my voice. Come before me and be prepared. I have known this time is coming. Climb to my rest. Best do it now before it’s too late.”

He wants us to get ready for the time to come. We can do this by being with Him and listening to His words. Taking them in and using them to make us ready. The plateau is just the first step, But it is where we need to be right now. Are we ready for the time to come or not?  Our world is getting worse toward Christians every day. God wants us to be prepared for this. Read His word  and study it. Pray without ceasing. Be among the fellowship of believers. Build each other up. We’ll need it.

Dance at His Throne

Today in church we had a great time in God’s presence. It was during worship that I received a word from the Lord. I can’t tell it word for word because it was coming forth rather quickly.  But here is message  as best as I can recall.

Come dance at my throne. Come dance at my throne. You who are weary, you who are heavy laden. You fill your pockets with junk and garbage. You carry baggage that you do not need. They are only an imitation.  Dance at my throne and you will crush them. I am the Lord your God. I am all you need. From the beginning, I am the Lord your God. You were not meant to carry this stuff. Dance at my throne. You will have victory. You will have freedom. You will walk upright. I am the Lord your God.

The point here is we have this stuff we keep because we are comfortable with it. Or we keep it because it has a hold on us. We need to let go of it and give it up. When we worship and praise HIM, we move into His presence. We go to His throne and are strengthened by Him. Dancing before Him we will find that we are able to crush all that is trying to keep a hold on us. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord. Until we surrender. Until we give let go of it all. It will be challenging to make a difference in life. Let go an let God. Surrender to Him all that is the junk and garbage in our lives. He is able to set us free and heal us. Live a life of victory in Jesus.

Be blessed,  Ken

 

The First Post

Well here I am getting ready to start up a blog. This is something that I have been praying over for some time. It first was suggested to me by a good friend ( thanks Larry). The content of this blog will remain in the spiritual category. It will have prophecy, testimonies, and teachings among other things related to our walk with God.

Please be patient as I am starting to get the handle on this. Postings will be sporadic at times and yet I may post more than once in a day. I am doing this to keep up with what God has given me to do. I want to build and edify the body of Christ. My goal is to bring healing to those who need it. Comfort to those wanting it. knowledge and understanding to those looking for more.  If you desire to leave a comment, please do so. As I welcome comments. As when I am teaching a class, all I have is what God has shown and given me. Other thoughts  and insights can only cause us to grow and gain a better understanding of the one we love.

Thanks again and may God show himself to you in a special way today.

Be blessed, Ken
