Month: January 2015

This last Sunday the Lord gave me a message for the body. It was about eating at the right table. I’ll go over some points of it. But to quote it totally will not happen today. Simply put, I said it rather quickly after receiving it. When this happens I don’t quite remember exactly how it is worded. I did what I could to recall it, but it is not complete.  What I did remember I’ll talk about.

It did start out by saying the deliverance is at hand. The Lord said that He will break the binds, break the yoke and smash the chains. This alone gives us the hope of His true freedom and victory. There is no other authority that has His power, grace and strength to get this done. No other name but Jesus.  To go further we have read the stories of Jesus setting people free from demons and the like. Matt. 8:28-34 is the story of the demons into a herd of pigs. Mark 9:14-29 is the story of a demon possessed boy. But demons aren’t the only things that take hold of a person. It could be stealing, cheating, adultery, pornography as well as depression, worry, fear and others.Try as we may to do it ourselves. We just can’t do it by ourselves. We need help and Jesus is the answer. Phil. 4:13 says that “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”

After that the Lord said that some of us are eating at the wrong table. We are to walk away from it and go back to His table. The table with the living water. Eating of the loaf of bread. John 6:35-40 tells us this from the words of our Lord Himself. When we listen to the world and all of its ways, we are eating from the wrong table. Saying that God’s word and truths aren’t for us. They’re not for today. They’re old and don’t apply today. What a load of garbage that is. God’s word and truths are for today and tomorrow. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Lets spend our time at his table. By reading His word. Taking the time to pray ( have a conversation) with Him. Spending time in His presence. Being among the body (church) and having fellowship. Lets build each other up and encourage one another. Let’s eat at the table thats best for us.The table Jesus has set up personally.

On this last Sunday the Lord gave me a message to share. So without further ado here it is. “My children I’m going to paint two pictures for you. The first is of a rose growing up among the thorns and thistles. This rose overcame all to rise above them. The second is of a lily in the field. A single lily in the vast field. Did I abandon this lily? Did I make a mistake? Instead ask this question. How come there aren’t any more? There are more, they just haven’t grown up yet. This lily is a beautiful thing.  Put in its place for a reason. I’ve planted seeds, but who is watering them? Do not say this is not for you. Do not think that you must be among and endure the thorns and thistles. They have been conquered. I need, I want lilies in the field. For this is a beautiful thing.”

In the first picture the rose is a symbol of our savior Jesus Christ. Who endured beatings, mocking, spitting, and more for us. Even going to the cross to die for our sins. He has risen and is seated next to God the Father. The thorns and thistles are symbolic of the curse of the earth (see Gen. 3:18). Jesus wore a crown of thorns. Once again overcoming it on the cross.

The second picture is of a lily. The lily is symbolic of beauty and splendor. Go to Matt. 6:28-29 to read about the splendor of lilies. When you go to Song of Solomon 2:1 you will find another example of these pictures. So in this prophecy God is asking us to go out and water (share and talk to) those who haven’t received Jesus as their savior. A people make Jesus their Lord and Savior, Lilies will grow and populate the field. He also adds a message of hope to this. When He tells us not to think that we have to suffer first to become worthy of sharing His message. He conquered it all so we don’t have to. These lilies are a beautiful thing. Lets get out and water some seeds.

Be blessed, Ken

During church this morning I was given a word to share. The Lord told me to “fan the flames.”As I was listening to Him more of His message came to me. He went on to say “there are some who have grown cold toward me. You my children are all that stand between them and destruction. But, how can you share the warmth of my love when you don’t have any yourself. Being lukewarm is no answer. Its barely an existence. You need to fan the flames of my Spirit in your life. I give them to you so that you may share and continue to come to me and receive more. The times are growing cold and you are all that stands between them and death. Come to me. I will give you all you need to carry my light and fire into their lives.”

In these latter times many are getting cold toward God. It is mentioned in the bible that this would happen. It doesn’t mean that God has given up on people. God wants us to share His love to this lost and dieing world. If its growing cold we need to ask why and the answer is simple. We haven’t been sharing the gospel of Jesus to them. Why not is the first thought and He told us why not. Its because we haven’t been spending the time we need to have with Him. We are not working on our relationship. Some of us are getting cold and then some are lukewarm. Neither is any good.

Its a new year and lets start out by drawing closer to God this year. He wants to have a relationship with us. So what are we afraid of? The only way to get change into this world is to be willing to change ourselves. then we will be prepared to share His Love to this people. We are His messengers and we are not fully ready to carry this out. Remember that God will not force himself on people it needs to be a choice of weather or not people follow him. All we can do is show them the door. But are we walking the path that leads them to the door?

Be blessed, Ken
