An Exhortation to Advance

An Exhortation to Advance

During Worship at church I had a vision of myself standing on top of a mountain. I took a deep breath; the air was crisp, fresh, and clean. I looked straight ahead, smiling. I looked around and there were tall mountains all around the mountain that I was standing on. I had no fear of being that high or standing on top of the mountain peak (Ordinarily I would avoid heights). I could see clearly and felt much joy. I was excited to be there and felt the presence of God with me. I asked the Lord what this means; Lord what should I do with this. How did I get all the way up here? The Holy Spirit said, “I placed you on top of the mountain, Open your mouth and Speak”. I began to speak out to the other mountains. As I spoke, my voice was as if I were speaking into a microphone. The other mountains responded as if coming awake, agreeing, preparing/shifting, moving, and advancing.

Enter His Presence

“The mountain top is a place to be in God’s Presence…. Jesus often went up the mountain to pray. The Bible also mentions times when Jesus went alone to pray……Your life is a life of prayer. That is why you often pray alone. When you start praying, you go up the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain and enter in His presence, the words flow easier than at the bottom. (Retrieved 9/28/2021 from https://rethagroenewald.com/jesus-mountain-teach-beatitudes/)”

Mountains

A Mountain is a natural elevation of the earth’s surface, but mountains can also represent insurmountable or impossible looking obstacles in our daily life. We all have mountains to contend with and overcome but when we have Jesus we also have the power of the Holy Spirit to get us on top of the mountain. On top of the mountain means Victory.

The Bible talks a lot about mountains. Jesus would often go to the mountains to pray or teach on the mountain top. When Jesus did this, things happened, people changed, miracles occurred, and there was advancement of the Kingdom. I want to talk to you about your mountains or mountain top areas and your prayer life. Mountains -or areas of influence that we have in our daily lives are areas we need to advance in.

You Advance through Prayer!

Advance the Kingdom of God in every facet of your life. It begins with praying and partnering with the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught us to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We should have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. A Kingdom mindset. Jesus taught the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is the realm where God reigns and Jesus Christ is the King. We are citizens of the Kingdom. Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Matthew 7:21 Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven”.

A Kingdom mindset is a way of thinking where your thoughts, decision, and actions align with Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul said, For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 4:17). “So the simplest way to understand the Kingdom of God is the realm where Jesus Christ reigns as King and God’s authority is supreme. This Kingdom exists here and now (in part) in the lives and hearts of the redeemed, as well as in perfection and fullness in the future.” (The Gospel of the Kingdom, George Eldon Ladd./Google.com)

Advance the Kingdom

Advancing requires All Hands on Deck. All Hands on Deck meaning: All available people need to come to help, especially in an emergency. In a storm or other emergency, the captain might yell all hands on deck. This is a command for all the sailors (Believers) to come to the deck of the boat to help navigate the storm. All hands on deck is a command ordering everyone around to join in to accomplish a goal. (Google.com). Back to the basics. Faith in God. God as Sovereign, Supreme, Ultimate, Final Authority. Remember advancing the Kingdom of God starts with the way you think, your mindset. Are you thinking Kingdom? Are you Advancing?

Your Mountain of Influence

Look at the following areas, systems, or mountains of influence and see how can you advance the Kingdom of God in these areas. In the vision as I stood on top of the mountain there was no fear of the tall height of the mountain, no fear of being alone on top of the mountain, no fear of moving around as I looked at the surrounding mountains from all angles. I want you to look at these areas from all angles. No fear, No limitations! Enlarge your view and Expand your Kingdom influence. Open your mouth and Speak over these areas. Maintain Kingdom Agenda as your prayer focus for these systems:

1) Education-Whether formal school system, informal, childhood or adult, professional or nonprofessional, involved or not involved, studying Bible at home or church, learning, and increasing your understanding. Advance the Kingdom of God in Education!

2) Religion-Traditions of Man, or Gospel of Jesus Christ. Tear down false religious man-made traditions and Build up the reality of Relationship with God. Advance the Kingdom of God.

3) Family-Immediate, extended, related, unrelated, biological, nonbiological, adopted, blended, etc. Advance the Kingdom of God in family relationships!

4) Business/Work/Career-In day-to-day practices in the marketplace Advance the Kingdom of God!

5) Government/Military-In politics, economics, law, justice, policies, rules, regulations, standards of conduct. Advance the Kingdom of God!

6) Arts/Entertainment-Advance the Kingdom of God!

7) Media-All types of media. Advance the Kingdom of God!

8) Health and Wellness/Medical/Science/Technology-Advance the Kingdom of God!

The Holy Spirit Within You

You may think, How can I, an ordinary person advance the Kingdom? Throughout the Bible God used common, ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for the Kingdom. Think about the Heroes of Faith in Hebrews and think about the great Cloud of Witnesses. God used their natural abilities and produced the supernatural. When a Believer enters an institution (or mountain of influence), the Kingdom of God is at hand in that system. We Advance the Kingdom through love and the power of the Holy Spirit. We are the answer! The sons and daughters of God use our kingdom mindset in every area of life. When we go to work, the Kingdom of God shows up at that place. When we engage in business activities, the Kingdom of God is present in the marketplace.

You are a valued and participating member of the family of God. All hands on deck—-let’s get souls saved, pray, witness and demonstrate the Kingdom of God in our mountains or areas of influence. Partner with the Holy Spirit to stand. Stand on these mountains and Speak. Pray. Intercede. Speak Life over these mountains: Family, the church, law, politics, economics, education, science, medicine, mass media, military. The world needs your authenticity exactly what you bring to the table. Without your advancement, the puzzle is incomplete.

Your piece is significant and necessary. The Team needs You! Return to your rightful position. All hands on deck, back to basics of Faith in God. Genesis 1 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

You have dominion now Multiply. Multiply your reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit. Increase your flow, your flow of faith not fear, your flow of trust, your flow of streams of income, streams of provision, your flow of influence, your flow of praying in the Spirit. A continuous flow of the Holy Spirit in you. A flowing river of life, living waters flowing from you as you advance.

Advance the Kingdom through The Power of the Holy Spirit

In Matthew 6: Jesus said, ⁹ Pray like this: ‘Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. ¹⁰ Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in heaven. Matthew 3:11 John the Baptist said this concerning Jesus, ¹¹ “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Pray in the Spirit. Connect on a deeper level of intimacy with God. Minister unto God and Worship Him in spirit and in truth. We operate and advance through the power of the Holy Spirit. Advance the purposes of God.

The Authority of the Believer. When you received Jesus Christ as Savior you also received power (the power of the Holy Spirit), John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name (NKJV) or But as many as received him, to them gave he power (Holy Ghost power) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (KJV).

Demonstrate the Kingdom

Advance the Kingdom of God by peace or by war, but do the Father’s work. Work from victory to victory and from glory to glory. Stand on top of the mountain and Speak. Jesus spoke Deliverance in the Mountains and demonstrated the Kingdom. Mark 16: ¹⁷ And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; ¹⁸ They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

A Demon-Possessed Man Healed

Mark chapter 5 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. ² And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, ³ who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, ⁴ because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. ⁵ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.⁶ When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. ⁷ And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”⁸ For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” ⁹ Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” Jesus cast out the demon and healed the man.Top of Form

As You Advance: Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

Acts chapter one, 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. 12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Jesus is the prize!

The Great Commission of Jesus Christ

¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. ¹⁷ And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. ¹⁸ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

THE POWER OF A WORD

Word

The power of a Word

It’s something about the power that is contained in a Word.

In the beginning God said. God spoke and it was so. We are made in the image and likeness of Father God. As a believer/follower of Jesus Christ we need to understand our Identity. Now then we are Ambassador’s for Christ we have been granted Authority. Authority to speak the Word of God. The Authority of the Believer in our Words.

This is where our Authority comes from. It’s because of who were and to whom we belong. Our true Identity Ephesians 1: 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14. who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Be careful and intentional about the things you say. I remember as a child my parents were big on “watch your mouth”. It was all about the “watch your mouth”. My Grandmother was big on watching your mouth. They knew. They knew the power of our words. Yes, watch your mouth your words. Set a watch over your mouth and speak the Word of God over your situation, speak the Word over your family, speak the Word over your health, speak the Word over your mind, speak the Word over your finances, speak the Word over your ministry, speak the Word over your future, and your destiny.

Hebrews 4:12, NIV: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” … It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” The Word is alive, vibrant and active, it’s sharp, think about the tip of a sword, it can penetrate anything, the Word is the discerner of spirits. The Word is alive it has a heartbeat, breath, blood flowing, a pulse, activity, and power.

What did Jesus say? Mark 11:23-24 “Truly^[ I tell you, if anyone says (speaks) to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say (speak) will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask (speak) for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

I love words, reading, speaking, writing. Words are powerful. Yes they are some letters that we string together and speak but they create. String together F.L.O.W.E.R. Each letter has a separate sound. What do you see. What do you hear. You see the word flower and you know what a flower is and you can see flowers and sometimes even smell the scent of flowers. There is revelation in a Word, flowers are planted and they grow, flowers serve purpose. What a sweet smelling fragrance.

• 

God uses words to reveal Himself to us. God loves words. He referred to Himself as Word. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God listens to words. He honors words. He responds to our words. God’s Word is alive, living, vibrant, progressive, and vital.

Speak a significant word over yourself! You see it’s not just about the words. It’s about the Identity of the speaker. Have they been granted Authority to speak. Speak. Speak. Speak a significant word and watch the Word work.

Word

Are you Saved?

Yes. Good Grow

No. Get Saved

Romans 10:9-10 If you declare (say/speak) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess (say/speak) your faith and are saved.

Receive Jesus today and speak a word over yourself.

Two Dynamics

Throughout 2020 and now into 2021 there have been 2 dynamics existing simultaneously. These dynamics have absolutely nothing to do with politics or safety. While one segment of people were shut down, shut up, locked down and isolated, brakes on and emergency brakes on; another segment of people were advancing, progressing, marching, bulldozing their way through, planting, sprouting, flourishing, building, continuing, pressing. The two dynamics are really interesting because neither one is right or wrong it’s a matter of perspective. The two dynamics have been educational in that they allowed us to see ourselves; the real us. And this is okay because everyone reacts to a battle in their own individual way. Now having looked back and looking forward, which dynamic will you Pursue.

Luke 19:13 Here Jesus tells the parable of the king’s ten servants. The parable of the talents. The story showed Jesus’s followers what we should do during the time between Jesus’s departure and his Second Coming. This applies directly to us. What are you doing while you wait for Jesus’ to return? No one knows when He will return, it could be today it could be 3,000 years from now. The focus is Not on when. The second part of this Scripture is the focus: I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8.

We have all the resources we need to build and expand God’s Kingdom. God has given each of us all kinds of talents and gifts to fulfill our purpose. Jesus wants us to account for what we do with his gifts. Traditionally, many people focus on what they do at church. But this past year has changed the dynamic of the church and you fulfilling your Kingdom purpose.

So here is the story Jesus told and it applies directly to us, here today, now. Luke 19:11-27 While they were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. Jesus said: A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas (talents). Put this money to work he said until I come back (OCCUPY UNTIL I COME BACK). But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ He was made king, however, and returned home.

Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money (talents and gifts), in order to find out what they had gained with it. The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’ Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’ The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’ His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’ Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’ His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 

Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’ Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’ Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’ He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.

The parable of the talents (minas) can be seen as an exhortation to Jesus’ disciples to use their God-given gifts in the service of God, and to take risks for the sake of the Kingdom of God. These gifts have been seen to include personal abilities (Talents in everyday sense), as well as personal wealth. I would like to challenge you to not limit wealth to finance or money. Wealth is abundance, assets, a great amount of money, property, possessions or ideas. Wealth-goods and resources having value in terms of exchange or use. Are you a wealthy person? Think about it, do you have Faith in God. Faith is a currency. What about your Inheritance? Isn’t your Father the King of Kings.

As I drove the distance to my church one Sunday (Grace Christian Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan), from the west side of Detroit, my heart was heavy. My spirit was grieved as I noticed that the majority of the churches were still closed. I am aware of this and even understand why but for some reason it troubled me this particular day. The few churches (I know, we are the church) that were open were scarce and few cars in their parking lots. It was a bright shiny day but it felt like there was a gray cloud hovering over the areas. I immediately perked up upon seeing a rare church with the doors open and good participation. It was like I was on an emotional roller coaster ride that Sunday morning. Normally I would take the freeway but that day the freeway was closed and I took the street route, the long route. It was during this ride that I got the revelation of these two dynamics. I knew that this was a call to intercession and invitation from the Holy Spirit to intercede in prayer.

I thought, my God the church is under attack! This should not have been a news flash moment because yes the church has always been under attack. But this was different, this was like under attack on steroids to the tenth degree. I began to think about all the Pastors who God had assigned and entrusted that church congregation that territory to. At this point, I’m almost in uncontrollable tears. It was as if I could ‘feel’ the Pastors heart. Then the members of each church congregation, all the helpers of God like choir, worship team, ushers, mothers, deacons, elders, associate ministers, prayer warriors, maintenance, children’s ministry, Sunday school, media ministry, or early morning team members, etc. This is when the magnitude Hit me. This is a PROBLEM!

OCCUPY—-This is the Solution: …………………Jesus said, ……”Occupy until I come”. Are you Occupying, You, not your church, You. But Rhonda, How do I Occupy? I’m so glad you asked. “Hunger and Thirst”. Hunger and Thirst for God. When we hunger and thirst we Pursue. Hunger and Thirst is a signal that it is time to Pursue. To pursue that which satisfies and fills. Occupy—being used by someone (God), to be deeply engaged, having one’s attention or mind or energy engaged, seized and controlled, FILLED. An occupied place is being controlled by an army or group of people that has moved into it. Take over territory. Occupy the regions and Claim them for Jesus.

As I pulled into the parking lot of my church it was like the Sun suddenly brightened, there was gleaming. I had to roll my window down to be sure I was seeing correctly. I was. I looked around at all the cars filling the parking lot. There was such a brightness, as if a beam shined down on the church. I felt like I wanted to jump out of the car and run, yes literally run into the church. Please let’s stop taking the local churches for granted. Stop talking about and belittling the local church as if it’s just a building and nothing more. Which dynamic will you pursue, will you be a part of the problem or the solution. I imagine on That Day when we bow before Jesus, will you have such boldness. This is not about any specific location, this city or that city, this state or that state, this nation or that nation. It is about the Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and everything that represents here on earth and throughout eternity. There are two dynamics and only You choose which dynamic you belong in. No longer only about a physical building but about the Temples. Do you know that your bodies are Temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own 1Cor. 6:19.

Which church are YOU? Are you the empty church, the church where all the lights are out, the vacant unavailable temple; the unoccupied church. I call you the vibrant, bright shining, fruitful church. You are the blazing Temple. You are temple where God is glorified. You brothers and sisters are the church where love resides. You are the glowing smiling church. You are the courageous church who goes forth even if you are afraid. You are the church who says, Come; be healed, be delivered, be set free. You are the church that will prophesy to the empty church; and command it’s dry bones to live. You are the temple where the sounds are heard, the roar of the trumpet. A sound of triumph a sound of victory and sound of praise. I call you the church who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus You are advancing in the Spirit, progressing, marching, bulldozing your way through, planting, sprouting, flourishing, building, continuing, pressing into true Worship. I call you a hungry and a thirsty church.

Hunger and Thirst

Thirsting for God

For the Pure and Shining One

King David’s song when he was exiled in the Judean wilderness

Psalm 63 TPT: O God of my life, I’m lovesick for you in this weary wilderness. I thirst with the deepest longings to love you more, with cravings in my heart that can’t be described. Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God! ² I’m energized every time I enter your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of your power and drink in more of your glory. ³ For your tender mercies mean more to me than life itself. How I love and praise you, God! ⁴ Daily I will worship you passionately and with all my heart. My arms will wave to you like banners of praise. ⁵ I overflow with praise when I come before you, for the anointing of your presence satisfies me like nothing else. You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul. ^6–7 I lie awake each night thinking of you and reflecting on how you help me like a father. I sing through the night under your splendor-shadow, offering up to you my songs of delight and joy! ⁸ With passion I pursue and cling to you. Because I feel your grip on my life, I keep my soul close to your heart. ⁹ Those who plot to destroy me shall descend into the darkness of hell. ¹⁰ They will be consumed by their own evil and become nothing more than dust under our feet. ¹¹ These liars will be silenced forever! But with the anointing of a king I will dance and rejoice along with all his devoted lovers who trust in him.

Later, as I began to talk to God in prayer about this I pictured the emptiness on the streets around the Churches that Sunday morning. My attention was drawn to the empty parking lots all the vacant lots surrounding some of the churches. All I saw was space. Large empty spaces. Church property empty, vacant, unoccupied territory. I knew that what I was visualizing in the natural is a picture of the spiritual condition. I began to plead the Blood of Jesus over the Church and all that it represents, I Decreed the Territory for Jesus. I made a prophetic Declaration that the Church would fill those empty spaces. That the Kingdom of God would occupy those areas and that Jesus would be lifted up in those regions. That the Pastors would be strengthened and renewed with a fresh fire. That the congregation (the ordinary people) would rise up like a strong army and occupy those empty spaces. I began to praise God and Thank God for the filling of the empty spaces, for the occupied territories. As I Worshiped God, I began to see people, outdoors, standing and in chairs, worshipping God. The previously empty spaces were filling up with people. Excited people, the people were invigorated about praising God. It looked like outdoor picnics were springing up everywhere, some of the areas people were sitting in lounge chairs, some had long tables of food and drinks. It was like a smorgasborg buffet. The colors of the fruit dishes were strong, deep, and vibrant; the oranges were like a deep rich orange. The yellow of the lemons. The red of the watermelon, the grapes were arranged in large bunches or clusters. Children were running around playing. There was a freedom and a joy.

“Occupy until I Come”:

2 Timothy 2:22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

Romans 14:19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

The Breaker goes before me

He is breaking every limitation, every fear, ever chain, every bondage off of my life

Jesus breaks me through

He breaks open every dark and desolate place and fills it with His light

I confess the Breaker Anointing over my life

I am free, whom the Lord sets free Is free

The Spirit of the Lord lives within me and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty

I have the peace of God, the Joy of the Lord is my strength

I am covered by the Blood of Jesus

I stand on the authority of the Word of God

The Word in my mouth is my weapon of defense

By Jesus stripes I am healed, delivered, and set free from all trauma

“IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME”

Time is of the Essence!

What Time Is It!

What Time Is It in Your Life

Have you been doing the same things you were doing five, ten, twenty, thirty….years ago (Same ole same ole)? How is that working out for you? Have you done a little honest self -reflection lately and thought about the outcomes? Are your outcomes positive or negative. I hope you are experiencing positive outcomes. Let’s talk about how you are trending in these six areas of your life. Now, when I say, you, that means me included.

If you Journal this would be a really good topic Self-Reflection in these arears. I probably would need a 5 subject college ruled notebook for Relationships and maybe an index card or sticky note for Social Life. Lol.

The thing about Outcomes is how do you measure the outcome. For example, what are you going to base the outcome on? What will you measure the outcome up against. What determines if the outcome is really good or really bad. Each person’s view on the outcome can be different. In order to get an accurate measurement of the outcome we need a standard. A predetermined, across the board, standard.

If we are going to do this the right way we need a foundation. A measuring tool based on the truth. We wouldn’t want to use a tape measure that measures we need a dress size 8 when we know we’ve been forcing ourselves into a size 18, Right? Right. And brothers, would you want to wear a size 10 shoe when you know you wear a size 12? Right. Exactly. So, let’s all start out on the same page using the same measuring tool, the same standard, same foundation. The Word of God. Now these areas are like a whole 6 week course but we are just going to skim the surface for now.

1. Relationships
2. Career/Business/Finance/Income
3. Health
4. Personal Development
5. Social Life
6. Spiritual Growth and Development ( I saved the best for last)

Have you been consistent? Consistency is a good thing right? I’m referring to consistency as in regularity or steady continuity; free from variation. We all have patterns and cycles if you stop and think about it. Repeating the same cycles. Are you satisfied with your results, with the outcome of your decisions? Have you accomplished the things you wanted to or planned on accomplishing in your life? I know, I do ask a lot of questions.

Does any of this sound familiar: Here are some common phrases (Yes, I am guilty of maybe a few of these). No cheating if you didn’t say it out loud, did you think it. (This is the flesh. Galatians 5:24 tells us to Crucify the flesh, deliberately put it to death, lay it to rest. Gal. 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.). Our prayer and desire is Father your will be done.

“I’m Doing Me Right Now” (Oh, this was my favorite) “Just Let Me Do Me”

“I know what I’m doing” “I like to do things my way…”

“One thing about me, I’m consistent” “People need to stay out of my business”

Now, let’s look at the six areas of self-reflection. We can start with Relationships. Take it slow. Just breathe. Nice slow deep Inhale, pinch your lips like blowing out a birthday candle nice slow Exhale. Repeat as needed. It’s gone be okay. We will get through this together just stay calm. Focus. Lol. RELATIONSHIPS- Relationships include all types of relationships. Of course our most important relationship is with God, our Heavenly Father and all other relationships should spring from that.

Let’s think about our relationship with others such as relationship with family members, friends/neighbors, church family, coworkers, spouse, romantic relationships, leaders and authority, etc. Did you notice how I said, “let’s think about” our relationship in the last sentence. Not talk about, Think about, because sometimes we can talk our way out of dealing with the true outcomes and the things that are really on our heart. You know self-talk can be both good and not so good.

We transform our lives by renewing our mind. We train our thoughts by the things we focus on the most. When we speak, our words carry a lot of power and we will eat the fruit of our words. Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Let me set the stage, create an atmosphere. Put on some nice calming Instrumental Worship music (I like Dappy Keys—YouTube). Take a few minutes of quiet reflection on Jesus, thinking about the absolute love of God, knowing that you are accepted, that God will never leave you or forsake you, He is your very present help when you need Him in a time of trouble or distress, God wants your attention and loves to spend time with you, you are the apple of God’s eye, and He wants to pour his love out on you. God wants to build you up, strengthen you, prepare you for your assignment and use you, your life for His glory. His plans for you are all good.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus, we thank you, we praise you and give you all the glory. As we self-reflect, Holy Spirit we ask you to lead us and guide us into all truth. We partner with you Holy Spirit as you shine your glorious light on any areas that we need to change. We thank you God for the wisdom to make the change, to repent, and to Decree Your Word over our lives. We Declare Acts 10:38 over our lives “ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him”. Father we thank you that you are with us and for your perfect love; we ask you to show yourself strong and mighty on our behalf. In the name of Jesus we pray.

Quick recap:

• What time is it in your individual life, how are things progressing for you
• Self-Reflection of Outcomes in 6 areas
• Common Phrases you may have thought or said about the 6 Areas of Self-Reflection

Let’s dive in:

What does the Bible say about Relationships:

• Ephesians 6:1-3 Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Remember, that you are a child to your elderly parents as well. (As parents, we lead our children by example. We set the stage as we honor God)
• Proverbs 22:16 Parents “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
• 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (Do not be unequally yoked).

• Proverbs 18:24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
• 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
• Ephesians 5: Instructions for Christian Households. 21- 23 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 25- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. 28. In the same way, husband’s ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 33. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

• Matthew 22: 36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
• Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you (Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God.)
• Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
• Proverb 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
• Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
• 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’.
• Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they are agreed?
• For siblings and all other relationships I would like to use Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Now concerning relationship, you may feel some resistance to think about and self-reflect on some relationships and prefer to focus on others. I want to challenge you to zoom in on the relationships where you feel the tug, the resistance. This takes time. It is not something that you race through. Particularly think of a relationship area where you desire to see God move. Are you ready?

Remember this is self-reflection, thinking it over, kind of rolling it around in your head so to speak. Get the particular relationship area in your mind. It can be a past or current relationship, this is just a learning exercise. Close your eyes and literally picture it.

I’m choosing to self reflect on the marriage relationship as an example but you choose your particular area. Can you picture it? Great.

What was or is the outcome, as of today, how is it progressing (Be honest with yourself, not how you pray it will be one day but how it actually is as of right now, today). You are strong, face it like David faced Goliath. Face it if you are weak and trembling in the knees. Good or not so good, positively or negatively, peaceful or turmoil, safety or fearful, healthy or unhealthy, joyful or sorrowful?

With the Relationship, have you ever spoken any of the common phrases above or similar statements? It’s good to go back to the beginning or foundation of the relationship. Foundation is key.

So, now that we have a particular relationship in mind let’s begin our journey. We are thinking about the foundation of that relationship, how did it begin. What are some of the things we spoke about the relationship in and throughout the duration. This is good, are y’all having fun yet?

With my example of a marriage relationship-the foundation, In the beginning (Let’s Go)

Common Phrases:

• I know what I’m doing
• I’m doing me right now
• People need to stay out of my business
• I don’t need anyone’s advice

Foundation (It’s okay if you have to think back some years. The point is to get to the foundation. Philippians 3:13 says Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Forgetting what’s behind means it’s okay to reflect back but it’s not okay to return to an old way of thinking, it’s not okay to get stuck in the past to the degree that you can’t progress forward. It’s not okay to passively allow yourself to be hindered, oppressed, or bound. Pastor Bertha Girty would say, “Let every experience be a learning experience”.)

What does the Bible say relating to my self-reflection?

• 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’.
• 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (Do not be unequally yoked).
• Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they are agreed?
• 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
• Ephesians 5: Instructions for Christian Households. 21- Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Side Bar: Oh my, this is powerful. The Holy Spirit is all over this. Each time I attempt to say, What does the Bible say relating to my self -reflection—I say What does the Bible say relating to my self-deception. This is what happens when you partner with the Holy Spirit, the revealer of deep hidden things. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows 8. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction, whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

This part was not planned or a part of my intended lesson but Yes Lord. I receive this word. God I thank you. Thank you God! Father I repent of leaning to my own understanding and doing things my way instead of your way. I repent of only seeing the fault of others and of setting aside your precepts during my decision making. Father sanctify us through your word for your word is true. Let God be true and every man a liar. Thank you God. Thank you for your forgiveness. You are a loving Father, full of grace and compassion, Thank you God for your new mercies. Even right now. Thank you God. Thank you for your indwelling Holy Spirit leading and guiding me into all truth. In the name of Jesus, Yes God.

Shift:

If upon this time of self-reflection you recognize that you have a pattern of consistently doing things your way and rejecting the truth of God’s Word, Stop. Do not deceive your own self. Yes, there is a way that may seem right to us, but if that way opposes the Truth of the Word of God, it will not lead to a good outcome. To get the desired Outcomes we must build our lives on the foundation of God’s Word.

It’s Time to Build. So, we have our foundation now we need a Blueprint, to start building from today moving forward. It’s blueprint time. It is Time to build using a blueprint. The Holy Spirit is our blueprint. The Spirit of Truth is our blueprint. Now the foundation of the Foundation that we Build upon is Salvation. You must be born again. Do you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Romans 10:9 If you say with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved.

Prayer of Salvation

“Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

IT’S THAT TIME

Holy Spirit Time. Time to step out of the old. Step into a fresh Encounter with the Living Jesus. Holy Spirit Time. Time to shift, time to advance, time to accelerate, time to get Lifted, and time to propel. Time to Build. God has so much more for you. He wants to build you up; have your light shining bright, not dim, no flickering, not dull but bright. God wants to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; God calls you trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that he might be glorified. Self-Reflect, “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them” (Isaiah 61). Build yourself up on your most Holy faith. God has more for you. Build. Build. Build.

Do you believe that where you are now is all there is to your life in Christ? (The totality of your faith). Oh yes! You know, what you know; BUT God always has more.

God has new levels for you, new realms, new dimensions, new realities, new opportunities, new relationships, and fresh new revelations. “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. 2:10.

Study and renew your mind about the benefits of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit inside of us gives us an advantage. Imagine, you have a great job with an excellent benefit package but you never bother to consider your benefit package. You don’t even open it up. You have all these untapped benefits waiting for you to Build up your life with.

John 16:12-13 Jesus said, ” I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now”. However, when He, the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit), has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He (Holy Spirit) will show you things to come.

What time is it……Time to Build with Holy Spirit.

Time to move in the Spirit of God, Spirit of Truth and build yourself on a solid foundation

Acts 7:51 Don’t resist Holy Spirit

1Thess. 5:19 Don’t quench Holy Spirit

Ephesians 4:30 Don’t grieve Holy Spirit

Do Receive the fullness of God.

Do tap in and respect Holy Spirit as Blueprint

Do Receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit

Do Invite & Welcome Holy Spirit

Do listen to Holy Spirit

Do make time for Holy Spirit

Study Study Study the Word

I love you  . Now let’s go and Build. You Build Your life on a firm foundation, take the hammer (Word) and tear down what needs to be torn down. Open your mouth and Build. “Is not my word like fire? declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Is there anything that is too hard for God? No. All things are possible you need only to believe. It is time to Build.

What We Believe based on Scripture/Bible

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
• Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 
• Man (human) is created by God, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam/Eve’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. 
• Salvation is the gift of God to man through faith in Jesus Christ. We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus.

The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life. You must be born again.

• Baptism in water is by immersion and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36–39).Regarding water baptism: “On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

• The Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is a gift and is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4).
• We believe in sanctification, which is living a life of holiness. Sanctification is a progressive work of grace.
• DIVINE HEALING: Healing is the privilege of every member of the Church today provided through Jesus’ death on the Cross. 
• HELL AND ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE: The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. Those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord will spend eternity in hell. This is not God’s desire, God wants you saved through Jesus Christ.
• RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD: Jesus will return and “. . . The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air . . .” (1 Thess. 4:16–17). The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “…This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent. When He comes, “…The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…” (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16,17).
  
  Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Rev. 5:10; 20:6).

Jesus Christ is the center the focus of it all. We pray, Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I G N I T E

I Decree and Declare that you are Igniting the gift of God that is in you. You are set free to operate in your gift and you are no longer stuck. You are graced and anointed to move freely in your spiritual gift to the glory of God. You will flow in your spiritual giftings like a fire that cannot be contained nor confined. Your confidence is in Jesus.

Ignite-to set afire, kindle, to cause to burn, to subject to fire or intense heat, to render luminous by heat, to heat up.

2 Timothy 1: 5When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

The Greek word translated “stir up” denotes the kindling of a fire.

Stir up the gift. Stir up Your gift. “fan into flames the gift” (ESV, NIV, NLT), “keep ablaze the gift” (HCSB), and “rekindle the gift” (CSB, NRSV).

The Cross

April 8, 2021

Many years ago I was preparing a message to preach that Sunday and got stuck. I said, God what is it, what do you want me to speak on? I heard Holy Spirit so clearly, THE CROSS. This was complete opposite to the cute light weight message of inspiration that I was preparing. There is a certain type of weightiness to the preaching of the Cross. I became so nervous sitting there on the porch, on my Red Glider. The Red Glider had special significance for me. It was my grandparent’s porch glider and I recall sitting on it with my Grandfather, Albert Douglas who passed away when I was about 7 or 8 years old. We called him Papa.

I remembered sitting on the red swing glider with Papa, my little feet, swinging back and forth. He loved to pray and sing praises to God when he cleaned, cooked, and sat on the red glider. I can remember the ‘feeling’ I had as we sat there on the glider. In my child like mind, I thought I was sitting there as Papa and Jesus did their thing. Papa talking and singing to Jesus. As a little girl sitting there with her grandfather, I said to myself I like this feeling and I want it. I want to have this when I grow up.

I returned to thinking about the message, thinking and saying, The Cross. The Cross of Christ. All of a sudden I pictured myself as a young teenager with my grandmother, Alberta Douglas sitting on my parents porch. On the red glider on a hot summer day BigMa singing, “At the Cross, At the Cross, Where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away. It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day. At the cross at the cross…. BigMa would get quiet, look at her perfectly manicured and thoroughly moisturized hands, and start back singing, “On a hill far away, there was an old rugged Cross”. Then she would turn to look at me, “Don’t ever forget what all God has done for you. Talk to Him when you are walking to school, when you’re going to the store, and before you make a move. Talk to Him”.

After experiencing theses precious memories, I sat there on the red glider (2007) trying to hold back the tears. I felt a rush of emotions, like why would someone steal Papa’s white Bible when they broke into our home all those years prior. Why did that affect me the way it did. I had cried with my mother as she said “that’s all I had all I wanted of my father” his Bible.

I recalled how I would go to the basement with the that Bible as a 10 year old and just hold it. Whenever I held it, I could hear Papa’s voice and see him laughing. Why would BigMa always show up unexpectedly to anoint me with oil and pray over me. Why, Why was I always so shy and needed to know that God’s son was close to me. Why, why, why.. It was as if, I was being poured out (for lack of a better description). It was as if I needed to be prepared to get this message of the Cross prepared.

The tears began to flow. They were not sad tears, not bitter tears; there was a tenderness, a sweetness, a comfort in the memories, a cherishing, a warmth, a longing, an expanse of emotions. I was trying to process why did the message of the Cross of Christ take me all the way back to these memories.

I looked up and noticed my neighbors two little granddaughters come running over, “Rhonda we have something for you” they were so excited, their grandparents were digging in the yard and found it. They said it was buried deep in the ground. It was a stone cross that fit in the palm of my hand. They held it like it was extremely valuable. “Here it’s for you, we knew we had to give it to you”. I took the Cross in my hands still covered in dirt. I looked at the stone cross and held back the tears.

I explained to them that God had just told me to talk about the Cross of Christ. They looked at me in amazement and in their child like faith Mia started thanking God and ReRe said let’s pray. And we did. They ran back to help their grandparents work in the yard and plant flowers. I still cherish that stone cross to this day. The Cross of Christ.

I kept looking at it turning it around in my hands, over and over rubbing the stone like pebbles in it that were formed over time. I placed it on a post on the porch and it was able to stand upright. That is when I got the Revelation. A revelation of why I had experienced this rush of precious memories after the Holy Spirit said the message is, The Cross. The Cross of Christ. The revelation I received was Love. The Love of God. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). The Finished Complete Work of Jesus on the Cross. The totality of what Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection represents.

THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

What We Believe based on Scripture/Bible

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
• Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 
• Man (human) is created by God, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam/Eve’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. 
• Salvation is the gift of God to man through faith in Jesus Christ. We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus.

The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life. You must be born again.

• Baptism in water is by immersion and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36–39).Regarding water baptism: “On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

• The Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is a gift and is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4).
• We believe in sanctification, which is living a life of holiness. Sanctification is a progressive work of grace.
• DIVINE HEALING: Healing is the privilege of every member of the Church today provided through Jesus’ death on the Cross. 
• HELL AND ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE: The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. Those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord will spend eternity in hell. This is not God’s desire, God wants you saved through Jesus Christ.
• RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD: Jesus will return and “. . . The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air . . .” (1 Thess. 4:16–17). The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “…This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent. When He comes, “…The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…” (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16,17).

  Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Rev. 5:10; 20:6).

“IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME”

Time is of the Essence!

What Time Is It!

What Time Is It in Your Life

Have you been doing the same things you were doing five, ten, twenty, thirty….years ago (Same ole same ole)? How is that working out for you? Have you done a little honest self -reflection lately and thought about the outcomes? Are your outcomes positive or negative. I hope you are experiencing positive outcomes. Let’s talk about how you are trending in these six areas of your life. Now, when I say, you, that means me included.

If you Journal this would be a really good topic Self-Reflection in these arears. I probably would need a 5 subject college ruled notebook for Relationships and maybe an index card or sticky note for Social Life. Lol.

The thing about Outcomes is how do you measure the outcome. For example, what are you going to base the outcome on? What will you measure the outcome up against. What determines if the outcome is really good or really bad. Each person’s view on the outcome can be different. In order to get an accurate measurement of the outcome we need a standard. A predetermined, across the board, standard.

If we are going to do this the right way we need a foundation. A measuring tool based on the truth. We wouldn’t want to use a tape measure that measures we need a dress size 8 when we know we’ve been forcing ourselves into a size 18, Right? Right. And brothers, would you want to wear a size 10 shoe when you know you wear a size 12? Right. Exactly. So, let’s all start out on the same page using the same measuring tool, the same standard, same foundation. The Word of God. Now these areas are like a whole 6 week course but we are just going to skim the surface for now.

1. Relationships
2. Career/Business/Finance/Income
3. Health
4. Personal Development
5. Social Life
6. Spiritual Growth and Development ( I saved the best for last)

Have you been consistent? Consistency is a good thing right? I’m referring to consistency as in regularity or steady continuity; free from variation. We all have patterns and cycles if you stop and think about it. Repeating the same cycles. Are you satisfied with your results, with the outcome of your decisions? Have you accomplished the things you wanted to or planned on accomplishing in your life? I know, I do ask a lot of questions.

Does any of this sound familiar: Here are some common phrases (Yes, I am guilty of maybe a few of these). No cheating if you didn’t say it out loud, did you think it. (This is the flesh. Galatians 5:24 tells us to Crucify the flesh, deliberately put it to death, lay it to rest. Gal. 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.). Our prayer and desire is Father your will be done.

“I’m Doing Me Right Now” (Oh, this was my favorite) “Just Let Me Do Me”

“I know what I’m doing” “I like to do things my way…”

“One thing about me, I’m consistent” “People need to stay out of my business”

Now, let’s look at the six areas of self-reflection. We can start with Relationships. Take it slow. Just breathe. Nice slow deep Inhale, pinch your lips like blowing out a birthday candle nice slow Exhale. Repeat as needed. It’s gone be okay. We will get through this together just stay calm. Focus. Lol. RELATIONSHIPS- Relationships include all types of relationships. Of course our most important relationship is with God, our Heavenly Father and all other relationships should spring from that.

Let’s think about our relationship with others such as relationship with family members, friends/neighbors, church family, coworkers, spouse, romantic relationships, leaders and authority, etc. Did you notice how I said, “let’s think about” our relationship in the last sentence. Not talk about, Think about, because sometimes we can talk our way out of dealing with the true outcomes and the things that are really on our heart. You know self-talk can be both good and not so good.

We transform our lives by renewing our mind. We train our thoughts by the things we focus on the most. When we speak, our words carry a lot of power and we will eat the fruit of our words. Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Let me set the stage, create an atmosphere. Put on some nice calming Instrumental Worship music (I like Dappy Keys—YouTube). Take a few minutes of quiet reflection on Jesus, thinking about the absolute love of God, knowing that you are accepted, that God will never leave you or forsake you, He is your very present help when you need Him in a time of trouble or distress, God wants your attention and loves to spend time with you, you are the apple of God’s eye, and He wants to pour his love out on you. God wants to build you up, strengthen you, prepare you for your assignment and use you, your life for His glory. His plans for you are all good.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus, we thank you, we praise you and give you all the glory. As we self-reflect, Holy Spirit we ask you to lead us and guide us into all truth. We partner with you Holy Spirit as you shine your glorious light on any areas that we need to change. We thank you God for the wisdom to make the change, to repent, and to Decree Your Word over our lives. We Declare Acts 10:38 over our lives “ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him”. Father we thank you that you are with us and for your perfect love; we ask you to show yourself strong and mighty on our behalf. In the name of Jesus we pray.

Quick recap:

• What time is it in your individual life, how are things progressing for you
• Self-Reflection of Outcomes in 6 areas
• Common Phrases you may have thought or said about the 6 Areas of Self-Reflection

Let’s dive in:

What does the Bible say about Relationships:

• Ephesians 6:1-3 Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Remember, that you are a child to your elderly parents as well. (As parents, we lead our children by example. We set the stage as we honor God)
• Proverbs 22:16 Parents “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
• 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (Do not be unequally yoked).

• Proverbs 18:24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
• 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
• Ephesians 5: Instructions for Christian Households. 21- 23 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 25- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. 28. In the same way, husband’s ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 33. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

• Matthew 22: 36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
• Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you (Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God.)
• Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
• Proverb 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
• Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
• 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’.
• Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they are agreed?
• For siblings and all other relationships I would like to use Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Now concerning relationship, you may feel some resistance to think about and self-reflect on some relationships and prefer to focus on others. I want to challenge you to zoom in on the relationships where you feel the tug, the resistance. This takes time. It is not something that you race through. Particularly think of a relationship area where you desire to see God move. Are you ready?

Remember this is self-reflection, thinking it over, kind of rolling it around in your head so to speak. Get the particular relationship area in your mind. It can be a past or current relationship, this is just a learning exercise. Close your eyes and literally picture it.

I’m choosing to self reflect on the marriage relationship as an example but you choose your particular area. Can you picture it? Great.

What was or is the outcome, as of today, how is it progressing (Be honest with yourself, not how you pray it will be one day but how it actually is as of right now, today). You are strong, face it like David faced Goliath. Face it if you are weak and trembling in the knees. Good or not so good, positively or negatively, peaceful or turmoil, safety or fearful, healthy or unhealthy, joyful or sorrowful?

With the Relationship, have you ever spoken any of the common phrases above or similar statements? It’s good to go back to the beginning or foundation of the relationship. Foundation is key.

So, now that we have a particular relationship in mind let’s begin our journey. We are thinking about the foundation of that relationship, how did it begin. What are some of the things we spoke about the relationship in and throughout the duration. This is good, are y’all having fun yet?

With my example of a marriage relationship-the foundation, In the beginning (Let’s Go)

Common Phrases:

• I know what I’m doing
• I’m doing me right now
• People need to stay out of my business
• I don’t need anyone’s advice

Foundation (It’s okay if you have to think back some years. The point is to get to the foundation. Philippians 3:13 says Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Forgetting what’s behind means it’s okay to reflect back but it’s not okay to return to an old way of thinking, it’s not okay to get stuck in the past to the degree that you can’t progress forward. It’s not okay to passively allow yourself to be hindered, oppressed, or bound. Pastor Bertha Girty would say, “Let every experience be a learning experience”.)

What does the Bible say relating to my self-reflection?

• 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’.
• 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (Do not be unequally yoked).
• Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they are agreed?
• 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
• Ephesians 5: Instructions for Christian Households. 21- Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Side Bar: Oh my, this is powerful. The Holy Spirit is all over this. Each time I attempt to say, What does the Bible say relating to my self -reflection—I say What does the Bible say relating to my self-deception. This is what happens when you partner with the Holy Spirit, the revealer of deep hidden things. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows 8. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction, whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

This part was not planned or a part of my intended lesson but Yes Lord. I receive this word. God I thank you. Thank you God! Father I repent of leaning to my own understanding and doing things my way instead of your way. I repent of only seeing the fault of others and of setting aside your precepts during my decision making. Father sanctify us through your word for your word is true. Let God be true and every man a liar. Thank you God. Thank you for your forgiveness. You are a loving Father, full of grace and compassion, Thank you God for your new mercies. Even right now. Thank you God. Thank you for your indwelling Holy Spirit leading and guiding me into all truth. In the name of Jesus, Yes God.

Shift:

If upon this time of self-reflection you recognize that you have a pattern of consistently doing things your way and rejecting the truth of God’s Word, Stop. Do not deceive your own self. Yes, there is a way that may seem right to us, but if that way opposes the Truth of the Word of God, it will not lead to a good outcome. To get the desired Outcomes we must build our lives on the foundation of God’s Word.

It’s Time to Build. So, we have our foundation now we need a Blueprint, to start building from today moving forward. It’s blueprint time. It is Time to build using a blueprint. The Holy Spirit is our blueprint. The Spirit of Truth is our blueprint. Now the foundation of the Foundation that we Build upon is Salvation. You must be born again. Do you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Romans 10:9 If you say with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved.

Prayer of Salvation

“Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

IT’S THAT TIME

Holy Spirit Time. Time to step out of the old. Step into a fresh Encounter with the Living Jesus. Holy Spirit Time. Time to shift, time to advance, time to accelerate, time to get Lifted, and time to propel. Time to Build. God has so much more for you. He wants to build you up; have your light shining bright, not dim, no flickering, not dull but bright. God wants to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; God calls you trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that he might be glorified. Self-Reflect, “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them” (Isaiah 61). Build yourself up on your most Holy faith. God has more for you. Build. Build. Build.

Do you believe that where you are now is all there is to your life in Christ? (The totality of your faith). Oh yes! You know, what you know; BUT God always has more.

God has new levels for you, new realms, new dimensions, new realities, new opportunities, new relationships, and fresh new revelations. “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. 2:10.

Study and renew your mind about the benefits of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit inside of us gives us an advantage. Imagine, you have a great job with an excellent benefit package but you never bother to consider your benefit package. You don’t even open it up. You have all these untapped benefits waiting for you to Build up your life with.

John 16:12-13 Jesus said, ” I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now”. However, when He, the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit), has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He (Holy Spirit) will show you things to come.

What time is it……Time to Build with Holy Spirit.

Time to move in the Spirit of God, Spirit of Truth and build yourself on a solid foundation

Acts 7:51 Don’t resist Holy Spirit

1Thess. 5:19 Don’t quench Holy Spirit

Ephesians 4:30 Don’t grieve Holy Spirit

Do Receive the fullness of God.

Do tap in and respect Holy Spirit as Blueprint

Do Receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit

Do Invite & Welcome Holy Spirit

Do listen to Holy Spirit

Do make time for Holy Spirit

Study Study Study the Word

I love you . Now let’s go and Build. You Build Your life on a firm foundation, take the hammer (Word) and tear down what needs to be torn down. Open your mouth and Build. “Is not my word like fire? declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Is there anything that is too hard for God? No. All things are possible you need only to believe. It is time to Build.

The Breaker is Coming

I Decree BREAKTHROUGH for you. Yes, the Breaker is Coming to Break you through. The Breaker anointing is going to Deliver you. It’s not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Living God. I Declare you will break out, break through, break free in the name of Jesus. Be Delivered, Be Healed, Be Set Free.

Repent of any doors (Thoughts, Words, or Actions) that you have opened through disobedience to God. Renounce Satan, shut the door tight and seal it with the Word of God. Draw close to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Fill yourself with God’s Word and watch the living Word work for you. Follow God’s Instructions. You are Graced to overcome. I call you Victorious, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, Stand firm in the liberty where you have been set free and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Hunger and thirst for the Living God who will fill you, satisfy you and quench your thirst. Drink from the living well, the rivers of water freely.

Prophesy over yourself:

The One (Jesus) who breaks open will come up before (Your name); I am breaking out and passing through the gate

The Breaker goes before me

He is breaking every limitation, every fear, ever chain, every bondage off of my life

Jesus breaks me through

He breaks open every dark and desolate place and fills it with His light

I confess the Breaker Anointing over my life

I am free, whom the Lord sets free Is free

The Spirit of the Lord lives within me and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty

I have the peace of God, the Joy of the Lord is my strength

I am covered by the Blood of Jesus

I stand on the authority of the Word of God

The Word in my mouth is my weapon of defense

By Jesus stripes I am healed, delivered, and set free from all trauma

Word

The power of a Word

It’s something about the power that is contained in a Word.

In the beginning God said. God spoke and it was so. We are made in the image and likeness of Father God. As a believer/follower of Jesus Christ we need to understand our Identity. Now then we are Ambassador’s for Christ we have been granted Authority. Authority to speak the Word of God. The Authority of the Believer in our Words.

This is where our Authority comes from. It’s because of who were and to whom we belong. Our true Identity Ephesians 1: 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14. who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Be careful and intentional about the things you say. I remember as a child my parents were big on “watch your mouth”. It was all about the “watch your mouth”. My Grandmother was big on watching your mouth. They knew. They knew the power of our words. Yes, watch your mouth your words. Set a watch over your mouth and speak the Word of God over your situation, speak the Word over your family, speak the Word over your health, speak the Word over your mind, speak the Word over your finances, speak the Word over your ministry, speak the Word over your future, and your destiny.

Hebrews 4:12, NIV: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” … It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” The Word is alive, vibrant and active, it’s sharp, think about the tip of a sword, it can penetrate anything, the Word is the discerner of spirits. The Word is alive it has a heartbeat, breath, blood flowing, a pulse, activity, and power.

What did Jesus say? Mark 11:23-24  “Truly^[ I tell you, if anyone says (speaks) to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say (speak) will happen, it will be done for them.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask (speak) for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

I love words, reading, speaking, writing. Words are powerful. Yes they are some letters that we string together and speak but they create. String together F.L.O.W.E.R. Each letter has a separate sound. What do you see. What do you hear. You see the word flower and you know what a flower is and you can see flowers and sometimes even smell the scent of flowers. There is revelation in a Word, flowers are planted and they grow, flowers serve purpose. What a sweet smelling fragrance.

God uses words to reveal Himself to us. God loves words. He referred to Himself as Word. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God listens to words. He honors words. He responds to our words. God’s Word is alive, living, vibrant, progressive, and vital.

Speak a significant word over yourself! You see it’s not just about the words. It’s about the Identity of the speaker. Have they been granted Authority to speak. Speak. Speak. Speak a significant word and watch the Word work.

Word

Are you Saved?

Yes. Good Grow

No. Get Saved

Romans 10:9-10  If you declare (say/speak) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess (say/speak) your faith and are saved.

Receive Jesus today and speak a word over yourself.
