INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Many things have shifted in this new season. Some friendships have shifted and this will position each one in the body as He wills. Do not resist the change but flow with it. Many friendships will be better and more Kingdom oriented as a result. Those friendships that were not for My kingdom purposes will fall from your life. Continue as you are led to pray for them but do not try to hold on to them for they will hinder you in the season ahead. Be aware also of those the enemy tries to put there to slow you down and keep you from doing that which needs to be done. I am setting my house in order. Time in My Word, prayer and intercession will bring dividends in the time ahead so take time now to invest in the Kingdom of God.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matt. 6:33 (NKJV)

Apostolic Favor
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Apostolic Favor
redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16
My servants the prophets must redeem their time because the days are evil. No longer will they be
permitted to do that which is not for the Kingdom of God for now is the time to harness the anointing and to those that are willing to forsake all, I will give apostolic favor enabling them to have the help needed to complete their assignments. They will be completed with new zeal, in record time.
Family situations will have new favor that you might have all things done in my Divine order for my precise purposes. You will teach and instruct the body with angelic help and the thoughts will be Divine thoughts downloaded at just the right time. The apostolic and prophetic will be married together that kingdom assignments be fulfilled in less time with energy left over.
Pray without ceasing. Expect the unexpected! Expect miracles! Expect the healing anointing to flow laying hands on the sick, they shall recover. No longer will it be said, God no longer heals for by faith you will believe and even impart to others the healing anointing. Some shall take it to the nations, some into the hospitals and streets of your nation. Expect! Expect! Expect!

Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!
911 has been in my thoughts as we view news clips of a decade past. Hearts with hope that day crushed by the impact of the terrible attack on America. Innocence robbed from so many youth as they in their prime years viewed such loss in their homes and families. Firefighters, so valiant, officials giving up their lives to rescue others. Many still trying to make sense of it all, when only God holds the answers for our lives.
It seemed that early morning as the planes flew into the towers and the Pentagon that God had taken His hand of protection off of America. There was a breach called sin that the enemy could penetrate and he did.
How well has America recovered? How well have adjacent nations done in their own country to deal with deep seated sin issues at hand. Can this war against terrorism be fought in conventional ways or do God's prophets and others need to remain in the prayer closet and battle for the soul of a nation.
We are no longer calling sin, sin in many churches. The Word of God has been sacrificed, for lunches and flowery messages that tickle the soul without bringing life changes so necessary for our nation to survive. Throughout scripture the protection of a nation is in direct correlation as to whether or not that nations God is the Lord.
Do those who are not walking with Jesus have a right to that protection? Does a nation who is now permitting same sex marriage, as does Canada, have a legal right to protection? Sin is a reproach to any nation. We have removed the ten commandments from our schools and teach our children instead that alternate lifestyles are okay and condone them. We want our schools protected and yet have thrown the Lord out of them. Gone is the day that prayer starts the day in our classrooms.
May God help us to get it right. These are not the only sins in our nation and all sin is grievous to a Holy God. Sin separates man from God and so we must ALL lay aside our sin if we are to live in peace and have protection. It starts in the house of God! What are we preaching from our pulpits? Are we walking in the whole counsel of God or do we walk in fear of man? God loves the sinner, and the Lord knows each heart and that we are but dust, but now is the time for lasting change that can only come through true repentance.
Now is the time to repent of sin. The doors are open and the Trojan horse has entered and the enemy is already in our nations just waiting to strike again. Canada is not exempt and yesterday when hearing of the quake on Vancouver Island the Lord had me begin to repent of the sins in our nation, naming some. We are at a crossroads and it is NOW that we must make a decision to be hard on sin and eradicate it from our individual lives. Leadership needs to examine their hearts and see if there is any wicked way in them. How can they lead a people if they are walking in sin themselves? The blind cannot lead the blind and so we must pray without ceasing for lasting change.
Pray for our enemies and pray for those that despitefully abuse us and persecute us. Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as we see it heating up in the middle east. There is a direct correlation to the nations of the earth whose God is the Lord and their walking in peace.
To the Nations leaders, open your eyes to the Word of God and see that if you come against Israel in trying to divide Gods land that you are coming against the Lord.
In remembering 911 know that we are still battling for the soul of a nation. Let us pray and intercede each doing our part. Perhaps Joplin could have been averted, and 911 never happened had the body of Christ been fervent in prayer and intercession. Let us repent of OUR sin, and move on to a new place in God. A place of prayer and intercession that overturns the world and forever changes it for good.
Let us watch and pray standing on guard for our nation knowing that Christ is the only answer for ALL nations and that He would have all men to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2

Many Are Called...
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Many Are Called...
Interpretation of a Dream Give To Me by the Lord:
I keep hearing the scripture "many are called but few are chosen". I think the pastor represents the Lord and he is calling out individuals [those who are compassionate and weeping over the needs of human kind]. Some stepped up and chose to follow Him and then He looked to you and you stepped forward. The woman speaking may have been a distraction to you to listen to her voice in the process of walking forward and stepping into the full measure of the calling of Christ Jesus....
(interpretation by Apostle/Pastor Ruby Underwood a true friend and mentor in the Lord).
In this dream I knew Father was speaking to myself to come deeper but also there was/is a message in it to the body of Christ. For many are called, but few are chosen. 14 Matt. 22: The spirit of God is looking for those that will follow Him regardless of the cost. In the dream many were seated in the meeting but as the Lord stopped the meeting and called forward those that had tears of intercession in their eyes, there were only three myself included that has tears and came forward. Few were willing to pay the price.
Many talk about intercession, write about intercession but do NOT spend any concrete time interceding. The Father is looking for intercessors to stand in the gap, will you be one of them? Will those called die to self, and go deeper into this much needed place of intercession. It is a lonely place and one that man will not see but the Father looks upon the heart. He sees into the deep recesses and is calling deep unto deep and saying to you, will you be that one, that intercessor that will speak in the prayer chamber to the Lord on behalf of men?
Will you stand in the gap that people can be spared, and come to know Me? Will you watch, and pray and be that one to turn around events and see that judgment is lessened or averted altogether in the life of those that do not deserve His mercy and grace? God is looking at you brother, Father God is calling you sister into the place of intercession. Put aside all the distractions for they are many and enter into your place of prayer. Stay there till the calamity is past.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over. Psalm 57:1
Be willing to pray! Do not doubt your effectiveness because the enemy tells you that you do little good and cannot pray. If you were ineffective he would not tell you this.
Come to Me with a clean heart, a pure heart, and enter into My presence with praise and true worship. I am speaking to you and many do not know My voice. I AM calling you! In this hour the Lord does NOT want you distracted with anything. He does NOT want your eyes on the titles of men but wants you to see past the outward appearance the hidden man of the heart. There is much to distract in this hour. Many things can appear as an angel of light but unless you bend your knee before Me you will not be able to discern. Rightly divide the word of truth. Learn to walk past the distractions, and hear My call. Many things may look good but discern if time spent in this way will allow you to fulfill you true calling as that intercessor God has called you to be.
The Lord is laying things on the line. He has entreated many and called but you have not responded. The warm bed at night feels good and a little slumber leaves the body of Christ open to attack. We are living in a time where intercessors must be on the wall. The Word of God needs to be prayed by the Spirit that His Kingdom may come and His will be done in the earth. Hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you today. Hear His voice for He is entreating you to come to Him. Spend time with Me and I will honour it. Spend time with Me and know Me. Hear My Still small voice for I am speaking to you, beloved come into our prayer chamber and spend time with Me. Come.
"I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30
And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. Isaiah 59:16

The Kingdom Of God Is Within
The Kingdom Of God Is Within
Never become satisfied where you are at in God. Never become complacent but always desire to go deeper and know Me more fully. My presence is fullness of joy. At my right hand are pleasures forevermore. Seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness and all things will be added to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Desire My presence above all else. Desire Me and I will give to you all that is in the Kingdom, to further it FOR MY GLORY! Though the earthly Kingdoms shake and crumble, the Kingdom of God will last forever. The Kingdom of God is within you. I am doing a work in the hearts of My remnant. I am doing a lasting work NOW in My children. I call you children because I said that unless you become as little children you will not enter the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God has come. It is within you. Open your eyes and see even where I have placed you for My glory now and in the future. You have been strategically placed, that others might come to know Me. I am putting people around you and they may not be who you would choose but they are the needy that need to learn of Me, that need salvation and freedom and need to grow up into mature sons and daughters of the Lord. This is your place of deeper learning. For many seasons you have been fed but now in turn you are feeding My sheep. Did I not say to Peter, if you love me, feed My sheep three times?
It is now a time to see the fields for they are white to harvest. Feed My Sheep! Feed them for they are hungry. Feed them for they are lost. Feed them for they are in hospitals dying without Me. If you love Me then feed the hungry, feed the lost, feed the dying with heavenly manna that they might never thirst again. This is the message of the Kingdom, love joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. Sow love, sow joy, sow peace in the Spirit to those that are hungry for I will lay them on your path, I will take you to them, and bring them to you.
You have entered a new season of understanding My will in a deeper way. You are beginning to have new understanding to that which I am doing. Behold I do a new thing in your heart. I am stretching you. It is about the needs of others. It is about being strategically placed to meet those needs. You are a vessel that is open to being used. Shine as a light on a hill that cannot be hid and do not hide your light under a bushel. In other words, be available to be used by Me, instant in season and out for the greater glory of My Kingdom. My light will shine in you. They will see My love and it will draw them as a bee is drawn to honey. Trust Me and I will fulfill My promises in you.
Come against all that is coming against you and your family and have new hope that the dead bones will live. They dry places will be watered again. Hearts that have been parched, because of a lack of My Word will be watered again. The Kingdom of God will come within them as you intercede fervently for your family to be stirred. Do not be surprised at that which I will do and do not think that I move in conventional ways, for the ways of My Spirit are according to My Word and will. Kingdom purposes will be fulfilled even in the storms of life. They are often used for the greater glory so pray, watch and see that which I will do.
I am going to be manifested in you, in your family, in the body of Christ and the Kingdom of God will burn in their hearts. Did not the disciples say, that their hearts burned within them? I am kindling a new fire in your heart. I have heard the cry. I have seen the need and desire for more of Me. I said this is a new season so enter it with joy and expect greater things for the Kingdom of God. My love for you has no end. Fear not but put your trust in Me and I will fulfill My word in you.
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you. Luke 11:20

A Little Word of Wisdom
FROM ABBA'S HEART TO OURS
A Little Word Of Wisdom
Awhile back a prophetic friend said to me, "that she had driven past the place of an old man". It was very run over outside with the area uncut. He was working in the yard and yet there was no evidence of any change. Every few days as she drove by nothing looked different. Finally one day she drove by again and much to her surprise the area was totally cut and clean and the Lord spoke to her heart.
She told me what had transpired and that in keeping at it, little by little, one day his yard was cleared of all the overgrowth. This is so very true in our own lives. Sometimes our tasks at hand seem difficult, even impossible, but little by little as we move forward and take ground things get done. The Word says, here a little there a little line upon line and this applies to the Word of God.
Our understanding of the Kingdom of God does not all come overnight.Yet, as we press in for understanding of His Word and our place in the Kingdom of God, revelation will be given to us and we will function with a higher level of understanding. Whatever you have to do today, do it with all your heart. You may not see much change right now but in your faithfulness, one day you will see a difference. Ask Father for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (Jesus) and He will speak to your heart.
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty times, some sixty, and some an hundred. Mark 4:20
hat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph. 1:17

Continue To Speak The Heart Of God In All Matters
Continue To Speak The Heart Of God In All Matters
As I read a post to me today it spoke to my heart. The woman of God said, "to continue to speak the heart of God in all matters". How powerful is this word to myself and all of us today! We are to speak the full counsel of the Lord, no more, no less! Whatever Father gives you to speak, speak it clearly, consistently with the love of the Father and His Word. Let us hear from Father, speak when He releases us to do so and pray, that it falls on good ground and bears fruit. The Word of the Lord will not come back void.
So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

Honouring Leadership
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Honouring Leadership
The Apostle Paul did not mince words when he said, "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:" 2 Timothy 4:14. There are times that we need to warn others about enemies of the cross of Christ. Where is the line between speaking the truth in love, warning and judging. We are to protect the body of Christ, standing guard against the jezebel spirit that would speak against the true prophet of the Lord, supposedly pointing the finger and calling good evil and evil good.
This spirit would try and murmur against the true prophetic voice and cause dissention in the body of Christ. It even tries to dig itself in with leadership to undermine true prophetic authority. We need to love people but hate the spirit that operates through them to kill, steal and destroy.
Just the other day the Lord had me warn a person who would come into contact with one such man. This man over a period of years has come against a true prophet of God. Little things, like taking a scripture about a false prophetess and then pointing the finger at the authentic woman of God. We need to ask the Lord to bless these people the way they need blessing, but also to restrain their evil work.
No more should we allow the foe to speak against God's prophets. We need to discern enough not to receive the lie. We need to see the enemy at a distance and discern his evil work. No more will we allow the enemy to come against the true prophetic voice.
No more will we stay silent and allow the foe to do his dirty work. No more will those voices be entertained and one must not even listen to their murmuring but say, "I do not want to listen to gossip". It is time for the church to not listen to the murmuring and gossip against authorities in the body of Christ. Many listen to their Pastor being maligned and do nothing. Many stand aside and allow others to speak against true apostles and prophets of God. It is time church to take a stand for the Lord against those that would be used by the enemy, ever so sweetly in the church under the guise of we must pray about this. How often the foe comes along and says, let me share this with you but beloved, it is not for prayer it is to gossip.
Let us put an end to gossip in the church. Let it stop now, says the LORD. I have called My people by My name and they have been called to honour Me. They are to speak in holiness and love one another. I am not returning for a body that is full of gossip but one that is filled with My Spirit. It is time for the mouth of My own to have hot coals put to their lips, for many are children with unclean lips. Their hearts are far from Me when they gossip against those for whom I paid the price in full. My bride is to be protected. My apostles and prophets are to be honoured for they are indeed leadership in My body. No more will I allow these things to take place without raising up a standard against those that speak evil against My servants. Repentance is needed for the words spoken against those in authority that have been set into My body. I will forgive, and remember the sin no more when there is true repentance. Pray for those in authority over you and love one another with a pure heart.
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:2

Numbering Our Days!
FROM ABBA'S HEART TO OURS
Numbering Our Days!
July 5, 2011
God has a perfect plan for each one of our lives. Each one has been given a certain number of days on this earth and only the Lord knows the number of them. Today it was sad finding out a friend from the past had died over five years ago. In younger years we had been friends for many years and had worked together as young adults. The last time I had spoken to her over twelve years ago I had shared my faith in Christ with her. Tears keep coming to my eyes and truly I am sad. Only Father knows her heart but this speaks loudly the importance of our sharing Christ with others when we have opportunity. We have been given much by the Lord and much is expected. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. Psalm 90:12

By My Spirit!
By My Spirit!
June 15, 2011
Do not try and figure things out with human reasoning but trust that I am doing a work of My Spirit in your life. Trust Me, have faith and it will all work out for My glory, says the Lord. Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, said the LORD of hosts. Zech. 4:6

Heightened Alert!
FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS
HEIGHTENED ALERT!
We need to be on heightened alert in the spirit and like a radar be able to detect the slightest thing going on around us. When an enemy tries to slip in under the radar they can be detected. Through the discerning of spirits and the exercising of this gift our senses will be able to discern between good and evil. Put on the full armor of God that you can withstand all the works of the enemy and having done all, stand.
But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Heb. 5:14

It Is Written! It Is Written! It Is Written!
FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS
IT IS WRITTEN! IT IS WRITTEN! IT IS WRITTEN!
June 8, 2011
One can see that the bride of Christ is not yet walking in her full power and authority. We are seated in heavenly places and yet walk far beneath that position. There are those who have their eyes open and walking in their God given authority yet many do not. Jesus was tempted by the enemy after forty days of fasting and overcame by quoting scripture OUT LOUD. Not once but three times He said, "IT IS WRITTEN". Father wants you to know that IT IS WRITTEN that you have been given authority over ALL power of the enemy. Now is the time to walk in it! By faith you are an over comer.
Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

The Heart Of The Father In Scribal Ministry
Scribal Prophet
The Heart Of The Father In Scribal Ministry
In reading the account of the woman taken in adultery it is interesting to note that the accusers of this woman were the scribes and pharisee's who were the professional writers or secretary's of that day. By all outward appearance they adhered to the letter of the law, quoting it to Jesus perfectly with hidden agenda to accuse Him. Their agenda was twofold, to condemn this woman and above all to accuse Jesus. Outwardly they sounded pious yet inwardly they were wolves. Have you ever had someone pose a question to you knowing full well that they were using it as a platform for their agenda.
His response to them is not what they expected as He said "you who are without sin cast the first stone". The rock hit home. I pondered why Jesus chose to bend over and write in the sand and do it twice. Perhaps because they were hard of hearing as people can be when they adhere to the law rather than grace but also as scribes and pharisee's, perhaps writing on the ground touched something in them as they understood things written. One by one as conviction fell upon them they walked away leaving only Jesus and the woman. God's way of dealing with things is not our way.
One can see that if one is to be a scribe of the Lord then the heart of the Father needs to be stirring one in all that they do, write and how they respond to people. The law had not yet been abolished yet Jesus said to the woman, neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. His ministry had one hundred percent success.
Being willing to walk as Jesus walked is a sound basis for scribal ministry or any ministry. Let us pray for the heart of the Father and that we would be tender hearted, forgiving one another and yet being able to preach the whole counsel of God without watering it down. Men and women do need to repent of their sin and have it covered by the blood of Jesus. Our sin is then covered and we can then like this woman hear, you are forgiven, go and sin no more.
11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11
The Scribal Prophet Will Not Always Be In A Place Of Comfort

The Scribal Prophet Will Not Always Be In A Place Of Comfort
There are times when it will be uncomfortable to speak for the Father. To speak out words of truth on His behalf. There are times righteous indignation will arise and you will know that you are to speak into situations. Then there are also moments that Holy Spirit says, "keep silent and pray". We need to discern between the two. The scribe of the Lord will grow by leaps and bounds as they step out in faith and write what they hear Father saying. They will speak into situations the Word of the Lord and it will bring life. They shall speak much more as the day approaches. The news media speaks often with a false tongue and for their own purposes and ratings but I say to you, "you shall speak for Me the Word of the Lord". It will be a sharp Word, seasoned with salt and spoken in season to those that would have ears to hear.
The battle will be to speak or not to speak as there will be persecution in the church by the religious of your day just as Jesus spoke of and was persecuted in His day. Be willing to stand for that which you know to be truth and do not try to appease men but instead walk in the love and fear of the Lord. Pray for wisdom, seek truth through My Word and spend time hearing My still small voice. The voice of My prophets is getting stronger for I am indeed raising them up in My fullness and they will speak with an anointing that others will not be able to dispute but shall say, "this is God". Fear not but move forward in ministry and touch hearts, knowing that you will not always be loved, or comfortable as a scribal prophet of the Lord. Trust Me to reveal all things to you, in My timing and know that My word is truth and life. The news media is not something to follow except to come back to Me and ask for the truth.
The Word of the Lord will stand forever. 1MY HEART overflows with a goodly theme; I address my psalm to a King. My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1 (AMP)

Write What God Is Giving To You!
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Write What God Is Giving To YOU!
God has given many of you literary gifts and you have the pen of a ready writer. It is time now for the scribe to write that which Father has placed in your heart by His Spirit. It is time now to take our your pen and write. The Spirit of God has deposited much in many of you and together you make a whole body. Take out your pen and write what the Spirit of God is giving you. For many it will be a fresh word in season. A new step of faith for those who have not written before, but I say to you take out your pen and write.
The ministry of the scribe is in My Word else you would not have the Word of God in written form today. Your words never have the pre-eminence over the written word but they are with grace and seasoned with salt and straight arrows that will go to the heart. Many of mine are so very gifted and yet fearful to post publically. Many of you have been put down but I say to you, rise up and write that which I have given to you. You have the pen of a ready writer so write and I shall give you more, says the Lord.
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1
