Just a few statements to get you thinking deeper.

Jesus is the light of the world.

You carry His light.

Healing and Miracles come through the light of observation?

Do some research

This is an exciting time to be in the Lord’s presence. The Lord has revealed so much revelation of Him and His love for us that it cannot be explained or put to paper. I can say that this time is for the rising of the saints to be exalted so He can be exalted.

This time is for NOW. This is a NOW time. This isn’t a tomorrow time; the time is now. God has released His healing Angel. Just receive His glory, and begin walking in the revelation of His healing. Now is the time to release the things of old as the old things have passed away and will not work. Walk into the new things so God can move through you.

God wants to show you things that man has not seen, and He wants you to hear things that man has not heard because you love Him, because you are hungry for Him, and He is going to show you. Receive His fullness of love right now and begin loving others as He loves you.

Healing and miracles are moving through you right now; just move forward into the freshness of His wonders. Go ahead, sit in the secret place of Him, and receive more. Let Him show you the mysteries of Him that you would know the plans that He has for you.

Let the wind blow through you. Don’t resist the wind. Let the wind change you, and don’t resist the change. Let the wind refresh you. Don’t resist the refreshing. Let the traditions, agenda, plans, and systems be blown away by the wind Lord. Blow through the churches, the cities, the states, God. Blow upon your people, Lord, through a great outpouring in your people, NOW! WHAM!

Just last week, I went into the secret place, and God showed me some scripture, but then He said this is a promise. When He said that it was as if He was saying, this isn’t just another word, this is a direct promise from the one who cannot lie. He then took me into a vision where I was standing in the church and I saw an Angel walk in the back of the church. I said Lord, what is this Angel here for? God said, “He is a healing angel.” It is a promise that I send him to you this week.

At prayer last night we were discussing a vision a women from the intercessory group had last year around August. She had seen five horses on fire going through the church and then she saw five angels, and she prophesied that God was going to reveal them to us.

So far, we had the blessings of Abraham, an angel at the gate, breakthrough angel, and healing angel. I spoke the vision and the revealing last night at harp and bowl, and it was revealed that the next angel was going to be revelation. I began seeking the Lord and He confirmed through His word that the Spirit of God was going to begin pouring out revelation of Jesus.

Today I keep hearing God saying the number seven, seven, seven, seven, resounding in my spirit. I said “God what is it with seven?” He said, “I am visiting the church with the seven spirits before that are before me to bring the greatest outpouring in the world anyone has ever seen. Walk in Me and not in you.”

He said, “I have placed the NOW in you, GO and DO the works by your hands in Me.”

WHAM! I am chuffed! WOOOO. That word is for everyone who falls upon it. If you read and received, walk in the NOW! Let the Word come to you, then through you and be manifested before you, NOW!

Let the Lord reveal to you the things He has for you NOW! Let Him show you and speak to you the things you have not seen nor heard, NOW! It’s right NOW! NOW! WHAM!

1Co 2:9 That’s why we have this Scripture text: No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it– What God has arranged for those who love him.

1Co 2:10 But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along.

1Co 2:11 Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God–except that he not only knows what he’s thinking,

1Co 2:12 But he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us.

1Co 2:13 We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

Jesus Came That We Could Have Life More Abundantly

Mat 5:21-48 you have heard that it was said…But Jesus says…

You Have Heard Look Out For So and So

1 Cor 13  Love counts nothing wrong done against itself.

1Th 5:12   And, brothers, we beseech you to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and who admonish you,

1Th 5:13  And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

1Th 5:14  Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

1Th 5:15  See that none gives evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both towards one another and towards all.

Have you been told, to get to know those who work among you in the context of suspicion, to be careful around those who work among you, and test them to see if they are of God?  But I say to you, that is not the context of the scripture.  It is saying, get to know the ones who labor among you, so you can learn how to lead and labor in the spirit of God, too.  Being suspicious of someone is not showing love and being peaceable to everyone.

To love someone less than another, is hatred.  God called us to show Himself through us.  If God is love then that means we need to show ourselves as loving, not suspicious.  If someone is out to get you or to steal or has whatever motive, God will give you discernment to show you how to love the dickens out of them, literally!  He will not want you to avoid them or talk bad about them.  Spreading negative thoughts and discrimination is not Godly behavior.  Judgment is to bring light, not to bring death.

If it isn’t good, DON’T SAY IT.

Gal 5:15  But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.

Eighty six percent of New York has been to church but will not go back.  Why is that?  The church has lost its first love—LOVE.  It really is simple.  If you go to someone’s house and they say, “Don’t go to this room and don’t touch that.  Please don’t sit there and make sure you don’t step on the carpet,” would you want to go back?   Simple isn’t it?  Jesus didn’t come to say fulfill the law; He did that for you.  The church’s mission is to bring souls to the knowledge of Yeshua and allow them to grow with the best teacher that brings life:  the Holy Spirit.  He is the new tutor, the teacher, the comforter.  

Gal 5:14  For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

As human beings, we tend to want to go back to the law and try to be a better person for following God better then others by searching the scripture as if we are looking for salvation in them.  The Holy Spirit will guide us into the revelation of knowledge of Jesus with a PERSONAL relationship each one has with Him.

You Have Heard it Said:  Stay Away From The Appearance of Evil!

1 Thes 5:22!! Stay away from the appearance of Evil

The Greek word pone?ros is the English word appearance and means essential character.  So in essence you can say, it is the nature of your being that should stay away from evil.  What does this mean?  

Gal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Does this mean we should not go to the bar to share our testimony?  Does this mean we shouldn’t go to places that have evil things inside?  Absolutely not!  This is the biggest lie ever told to the church and is one of the reasons there is no power.  If you look at Jesus’ life, He continually went in when the sinners were and laid a testimony before them.  How can the lost know Jesus if they never go to church, and you never go to them?

Do you know how this happened?  Fear.  Fear set up boundaries in organizations that say “ If someone sees you entering a bar as a Pastor or a leader or even a lay person, then they may think, blah, blah, blah.”  Don’t let fear rule your life.  You go get the lost, and you love them as Jesus loved them.

My wife and I had a great experience at a tattoo, piercing, and hair salon.  It was one of the best times I had had in a while.  No, I don’t get out much, but when I do, its fun.  Anyway, my wife was getting her hair colored blue and black.   (It is SO awesome by the way.)  It was at a place that sin abounds.  They take job applications if you want to be a part of the sinners group, located in the Short North on High Street.  It was great.  The owner of the shop had such a prophetic gift working in him but he doesn’t know it.

When Lanita told him what she wanted, he said,” You must be heaven sent!”  We both laughed and said, “You just don’t know.”  Then for those that don’t know, Lanita was birthing this whole process out, a spiritual birth of freedom, major freedom!  This guy puts on gloves like an OBGYN and says, “You might feel a little pressure.”  We both laughed again and said, “You just don’t know.”

To make it short, the whole experience of three hours was prophetic through a guy that is a sinner, like you and me, waiting on someone to share the good news with him.  Did we?  We were not lead to that day, but when we go back, when God leads, we will share and prophecy to him the gift God has given him freely.

I said all of that to say this, don’t stay away from those who need God.  The harvest is ready to be taken in.  Go ahead, take  it in.  DO not stay away from evil but remove it by being the light.

Women being  housewives?  Proverbs 31.

Men as Church leaders only?  Cor 16:19, Luke 2:36

One Man speaking in a service and calling it order.  Cor 14:27-33

It’s all about source.  It’s not about if that person is of God or not.  It’s about what source is it coming from:  God or Satan?  When a church begins to come into the place of revival, it gets messy.  The religious say that isn’t so, some people don’t believe, crowds leave, and more come running in.  Normal God things begin to happen and all of sudden people get uncomfortable and begin testing things to see if it is God or Satan.  It really is kind of humorous.  The Pharisees tried to place that judgment on Jesus by saying Jesus cast demons out by Beelzebub.

Mat 12:23  And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David?

Mat 12:24  But when the Pharisees heard, they said, This one does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

Mat 12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

Mat 12:26  And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?

Mat 12:27  But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

Mat 12:28  But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

In other words, how can I cast our demons, make some be free and love someone when Satan comes but to kill steal and destroy?  What we have to look at is, what is the source?  DO they seek after God? Do they say Jesus is the Lord and savior?  Then God must be working through and the kingdom of heaven has touched them.

The following scripture is one of the funniest I have read.

Mar 5:15  And they came to Jesus and saw him who had been demon-possessed, and had the legion, sitting and clothed and right-minded, the one who had the legion. And they were afraid.

The people just seen someone who was a nightmare, be set free, in his right mind and clothed and their reaction was fear.  They haven’t seen the power of God working before.  I want to see people to begin walking in the heavenlies so they can see the power of God working in their lives and in return see others they meet, have the power of God working in their lives.

This post is for the purpose of stirring your spirit to begin walking in power and do not be afraid of the world or of the evil in it.  I pray for you, that you would pursue God in a personal teaching with Him to show you His way, not a man showing you his way.  Dig into the word and find your freedom.  I pray freedom from the religious spirit and freedom from everything that binds you and me.  

I will follow up with part two.  It  will have some great material in it to help set you free from man’s opinion and judgments made upon you.

Pastor CJ Gaul

Wednesday night I was put in a place in my spirit that I could see this huge expansion.  I began hearing multiple scriptures, but the one that really struck me was when Paul was praying in 3John 1:2  “Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”   I began to come to the realization that all of the Word that has been spoken in the past 6 months was becoming reality.  God has spoken through the prophets throughout the land His word, and it is starting to manifest through the Spirit of God.

I heard God repeating the part to me what Paul prayed “in regard to ALL things” and “as your soul prospers,” and I came to the realization that my faith was too small.  I could hear Jesus saying to His disciples, “Oh you of little faith, this is why the person wasn’t healed, or why didn’t you speak to the storm instead of waking me?”  We have believed for just enough to get by with our bills, food, clothing, jobs, etc.  God said last night, “I am prospering you in ALL things.”  We need to believe for more than enough, not just enough.  Stretch your faith past the point of just believing to just make it through, but believe God for abundance.  Believe for such abundance that blessings overtake you so you can be a blessing to others.

At first I couldn’t put my finger on what was happening in the spirit.  Then as I meditated on it through out the night and this morning, I realized that God was meaning in every area of our lives.  Focusing on having abundance in money to give away money to others isn’t going to make the ones you give the money to happy for eternity.  God began to show me clarity this morning by saying He was making ALL things prosper for us so that all those we come into contact with could prosper in ALL areas of their lives as well.

Isaiah said that the Lord will harden us to difficulties, and I believe He does that through repetitive trials or challenges that come our way.  The first time the challenge comes, we usually fail, but we learn from it.  Then we may fail the next three or four or five times, but sooner or later that challenge is no longer a challenge but only a decision for us.  That is prospering.  Wisdom from above allows us to have the knowledge and understanding to handle life’s situations without fear or worry.  If we can pass that on to others who need it, they won’t need money anymore, as they can make the right choices.

Faith is living in the heavens and bringing what you see and hear down to the earth. The Lord’s prayer said in Matthew 6:10 “Thy  kingdom come. Thy will be done IN earth, as it is in heaven.”   If we can challenge our prayer life in this season of prosperity, we will see the super-natural become a normal lifestyle to the church.  It is a life changing atmosphere (Holy Spirit) going with us wherever we go, leading us into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

When we begin walking in the spirit, we begin prospering because the Spirit searches the deep things of God, leading us into the things of heaven, and allowing us to be the Earth that the heavens can operate through. Alas, allowing His will to be done IN earth as it is IN heaven. You are the Earth.  You are the ones that His will can come through.  Gen 2:7 “ And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”  God breathed into the Earth and gave the Earth life.  This is when Adam and Eve received a perfect life in relationship with God.  God is calling us to receive His breath of life, that we could prosper in our Earth and in health as our soul prospers, and that we can fulfill His will by bringing the same to those who are hurting, sick, and poor.

At our New Years prophetic meeting December 31, 2007, God revealed that this year is a year of restoration of relations with our children, our enemies, and with God into the heavens.  It began the night of the 30th while we were getting ready to go to bed.  God began to stir my wife and I, so we began praying and asking God to reveal what it is He wanted to tell or show us.  In the middle of the prayer, at 4:23 a.m. my phone rang with a text message.  It was from someone who had spoken ill of us, but wasn’t a big enemy or anything.  This person told us, “Happy New Year.  May God bless you in this upcoming year.”

I sent a message back blessing them and praying for them.  Then we went to bed.  While we were laying there, my wife’s phone rang.  It was our son.  He wanted prayer for something that was happening in his life.  After that, we were still trying to get to sleep.  We both heard the Lord say, “Go to the prayer room and lay down.”  We did.  As I was lying there, I was immediately taken into the 3rd heavens.  It was like silk that I was sitting on, very soft and luxurious.  I was flying toward God’s throne, and I could see this huge throne with a ray of sapphire light around the throne, and God was sitting on the throne.

When it was over I asked God, “What is this all about?” He told me “I have given you a prophetic picture of the year to come—restoration of relationships with your enemies or acquaintances from past, with your children, and all of those restored unto God.  Those who have seen visions will see an abundance of visions, and those who have not been in a vision will begin having visions.”  This year was going to restore His word into the earth!  You are the earth!  Let Him breathe into your earth and allow His will to be done this year as it is in heaven.

Jump in to the river and allow Him to flow through you. Don’t worry about what someone might think about you, just do it.  Step out of the boat and into the water.  Step up into the heavens to see and hear, then do what you see and hear.  He won’t lead you astray, but only into prosperity and a greater relationship with Him.

Blessings into the New Year!

I am getting ready to post a new article called IN earth an it is IN heaven, and it talks about restoration with relationships and most of all a deeper relationship with God. I am still being stirred and am really writing this out of a stirring that I need to be writing. So, here I am. Waiting on God.

I wrote an article back around October 2007 called The Releasing and I believe this stirring is about the manifestation of that word. I believe God is calling forth the restoration swiftly to those who are diligently seeking Him. He is saying to His people, I hear your cries, I hear those desires and if you can lay down the soul and give it to me I can will fulfill those desires to further His kingdom.

I believe we are on the front line of the greatest miracles and power the church has ever seen. The Lord is revealing Himself to His people so that His will can truly be done in the earth as it is in heaven. His will is for His glory to be filled throughout the earth and He is looking for someone He can show himself strong through.

Be that someone, take a leap and jump into something you haven’t done before or in a while. Do something for God and allow Him to guide you into the things He has for you. It is time to stand and fight for those things which are your in the spirit.

Gifts are being poured out and signs and wonders are going to come forth as we have never seen before. The winds of God are going to bring restoration to things that are of old. Where hurt has held you from doing things for God, He is breathing life back into it. Your vision will be restored, your hearing restored, and your feelings and emotions restored. Stand up and receive the releasing right now and begin to watch God transform the mess into something good.

His glory is upon you and it is time to shine church. It is time to walk in the glory of His presence and see the earth filled with His glory. Grab ahold of Him and hang on for His train is in the temple.

Last week the Lord kept giving us lines that were connecting dots on a revelation that is going to be confirmation to those who are listening. There is coming a time of revealing to Ohio, a time of refreshing and one of the largest outbreaks of supernatural happenings that Ohio has ever seen. This isn’t going to be a 1 time event but it is going to be a lifestyle for those who see, hear, and receive the revealing.

Ohio is going through a transformation and is expediently being propelled into a time of glory to glory daily. I want to say this again, this is not a 1 time event this is a lifestyle. It won’t be going from glory in one step and then sitting and fighting to keep it, but it will be a eternal glory change.

Don’t be afraid to move into it, just keep moving. Stay focused and begin walking in what He gives you daily. This glory is not leaving, this change is not going to leave you. What God has changed will stay changed.

I was in prayer this past Sunday and God began revealing all of the major changes being poured out in Ohio from events begin held. Events included 7 Days of Praise, Encounter Conference by Patricia King, Todd Bentley was in Ohio recently, Encounter God Weekend, and many other supernatural events all focusing on a person encounter with the risen Lord. There was a huge shift in the spirit about 3 weeks ago that has revealed an open heavens and it isn’t just with Ohio. For more on the open heavens go here.

The glory of God is here, the glory of God is propelling through His people and it isn’t going to stop. Just run into it and stay with Him in a secret place hidden by the glory of God. Most importantly is the salvation of people who you wouldn’t think would get saved are going to be saved. Sicknesses that you think are impossible to be healed are going to be healed. Angelic visitations are going to increase as the praise and glory increases.

With the revealing, the sins of men are revealed, but repentance comes through the goodness of God, bringing a supernatural shift in the body of Yeshua. The muscles are going to be strengthened and the dead bones are coming to life.

Don’t miss the glory, it’s here. All it takes is hunger. A deep hunger to get to God and you will surely see the presence of the Lord! Let the Lord be revealed in your life.

On Wednesday my wife and I were headed out to get something to eat and I had a vision. I was lifted up into the 2nd heavens as I could see the United States edge to edge. In a blink of an eye I seen the heavens open wide. I told Lanita (my wife) the vision and then I heard the Lord say, I am about to make the clarity of the heavens come to the those hungering after me in this hour. A time of direct communion with God. Face to face encounters are going to be taking place in this time.

Promises that had been thwarted by the enemy and stalled through mistakes were going to be refreshed with a showing of His power. The promises of God are yes and Amen! An opening of the heavens in churches that have fought so long in the trenches that they smell of blood and sacrifice. Restructuring and reprogramming as the light penetrates the houses of God.

Authority is going to be given to those of integrity, love, full of faith and power. Greater authority for territories to be taken back for the Kingdom of God.

Arise off of the ash heaps, gather strength into your bossom and fly like and eagle for the windows of heaven are opening.

Today God revealed to us something happening in the Ohio region. There is some major events happening that are strategically set up in the month of October that are for the purpose of encountering God. Not to have a concert, or to have healings, to receive another revelation from a anointed teacher, but purposely set up to encounter God.

When there is a purpose to encounter God it is like the Children of Israel at Mount Sinai. We go expecting to hear from God and when we expect He shows up. But I believe this is even deeper then a Mt. Sinai experience. I believe by then end of October we are going to see one of the biggest outpourings of the Holy Spirit that we have seen in a long time!

I believe this outpouring is going bring a changing in the spirit realm. A clarity of the heavens coming to His people that are listening. Listen for the time is here that He is pouring out the deeper things of God, He is strengthening His army to show the power of the Lord! Be bold and strong in the voice of the Lord as the old church is sifted into a new church.

God’s will is for us to GO preach the gospel, heal the sick, set the captives free, heal up the broken hearted and love the hated. No longer can the church sit in a meeting to receive life and walk out with no power to heal, deliver, and bind up. One encounter with God in these next few weeks is going to deliver the church into a new realm of power and life. The church as we know it will be caught up in a blaze with the voice of the Lord leading it’s path. God is stirring up the gift for those who have forgotten the gift, for those who are afraid to step out in the gift, He is placing a burning torch in those who have lost the fire and placing rain in strategic places to refresh those who are dry.

Step into it as God speaks. Allow signs and wonders to chase after you through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

I believe Ohio is about to have an encounter that will bring stagnant spirits alive, one’s that have sat for years will come alive to do the will of the Father.

Some Shepard’s will have to give up there program, their plan, their will and their way of teaching for the sake of the encounter. Some will have to repent for the misleading of the saints. For pure revelation is about to be poured out from the heavenlies into the spirits of the Shepard’s. Speaking to leaders and Pastors, I encourage you not to be afraid of change, don’t let fear keep you from moving into a new place with God. Don’t let the fear of people leaving stop you from encountering God. Don’t let the fear of anyone stop you in this hour. It is time to strengthen your relationship with God. Now is the time to go forward, now is the time to move ahead. Now is the time…

I believe there is such a stirring in the spirit that the people in the seats of the church are going to begin rising up in power and might through the Lord so much that some Pastors may miss it and loose people if they allow fear to stop them from encountering God. Embrace the giftings in the people and let them sprout new life into the church, let it blossom through the Holy Spirit. It is time to stretch like never before.

Push into the stirring, get into the current and allow it to take you with it. Allow the water to refine you and wash you with His Spirit.

The hunger and cry of His people is bringing about a stirring and birthing into fruition. Push that baby out, let it be known who the God of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham is. Be stirred today.

Depression is a spirit that has hung around the church all too long. The body of Yeshua in their state of salvation can get stuck into the thoughts of being down and out, in lack, things just not going their way and deceptively fall into the trap of depression. God doesn’t want any of His people to live in a depressed state. His word says that mourning may endure for the evening but joy comes in the morning! That means you may have some hard times but they won’t last long.

About 2 and 1/2 years ago I fell into this trap. My wife and I had planted this church in a rental facility that didn’t allow advertising, restricted use, etc. We had about 25 people at one time but religion held us bound. We were wavering by the fear of loosing people, we made decisions based off of what it looked like financially and it didn’t look good. We could see no light. We started loosing people through different mistakes we made of not walking in wisdom and we were learning through experience that brought even more failure. I went into a fight with depression. I didn’t want to be around people, didn’t want them coming over, wasn’t sure if I was to even be called or chosen anymore, I just wanted to get off the ride of life and go back to where I came from. A downward spiral was lurking around the corner and I was turning towards it.

Read the whole chapter of Psalm 119.

Psa 119:28 My soul weeps for grief; strengthen me according to Your Word.

Psa 119:170 Let my prayer come before You; deliver me according to Your Word.

For months I cried out to God to revive me according to His word and I read those scriptures over and over and over. Things just never seem to change. One day I received a glimmer of hope as the Lord began telling me there was going to be a Angelic visitation in my life. I wasn’t sure why, when or how, but I just felt like this was my answer this was my deliverance, I was finally going to be free from this darkness in my life. But again a couple months went by and nothing, still darkenss thoughts of giving up and despair and all hope was diminishing.

In June of 2005 we needed to drive to Kentucky to pick up my son who lives in South Carolina with his mom and we felt the relief of just being able to get away from the house and be alone for a couple days. On the way down we decided to stop at a flee market to take a break from driving for a while. When we entered there was a jewelry shop that we walked into and I was dreaming about buying Lanita a wedding ring, as hers was lost. We began speaking small talk to the owner of the shop then after about an hour of hanging out he asked us “So, what do you do for a living?” I would of normally answered with “I am a owner of commercial cleaning business” BUT, something just pushed it out of me to say “I am a Pastor of a small church in Ohio”. It then began a discussion about if we thought gambling could keep a man out of heaven, and if we would receive gambling money as an offering, and he went on to tell us that he goes to gamble every now and tehn just for som entertainment and he would take $1000 and go there to just spend it. But each time he would win money as he was sitting around the table talking about Jesus and how He came to bring life. He told us how one time another Pastor was in the casino and was watching him witness to people and the Pastor walked up to him and began to cry. The Pastor walked up to him and began to cry and told him “I came here to give it all up, to leave the ministry to stop the ride downward but after seeing you being free to witness in a place forbidden by most religious it has set me free to do the true work of the Lord.” To make it short, he gave us so many words of encouragement that we had to walk away and shop for a while because the glory was so strong! We couldn’t look at anything, we were just in awe! After about 15 minutes of walking through the market we went back to talk some more with him. As we walked up to him he said “I want to do something for you, I want you to be able to buy your wife a ring so you pick between these rings and I will sell you one for $1.” We immediately began to cry as we picked through the rings. We picked one and we went through some vows right there as we all three weeped before the Lord.

God had made a covenant with us that day. He married us, He surrounded us with His love and He showed us that depression was a fear of man’s rejection, fear of failure, and pile of judgments toward other people. This man we were talking too was none other then the Angel of the Lord. How did we know? We went back there after our trip and there was no jewelry store. It was there for a time such as this.

God wasn’t done yet though. We drove on down to Corbin, KY where we were to spend the night and we had drove by a storefront church, (this was our vision for our church and we had never been in one so it intrigued us) we stopped and went in. We were just in time as they were still singing worship and the people were just starting to enter into His presence. We began to worship and realize the freedom in the place was the Spirit of the Lord moving on everyone. After the service, 90% of the church ran outside to smoke a cigarette and it totally shocked me. Now mind you, I was religious, I thought how in the world could this happen? We left confused but yet seeing something that we knew was freeing.

God then spoke to us that night.

“The heart of the people that seek after him are the ones who overcome.”

Religion that choked my life into depression was now be broken. I found I spent my life trying to make the congregation happy, I feared rejection but what I did was make a fake life of expectations of my self instead of being me. Even though I loved God, I didn’t love Him more then the people around me. Judgments then made me judged and the deeper I went the farther I fell.

God then released a presence upon my life that refreshed me. I was able to love the ones that really needed the love. The drunkard, the drug attic, the down and out, the homeless were now all my friends. I realized God loved them just as much as me.

If you believe you are any better then someone else, you are deceived, you are only in a better situation in life then someone else.

Today God is releasing a anointing to break the bonds of religion, to crushed the head the one who holds those in depression through the testimony of His word. Today let loose of all the things of this world and allow God to redeem the time to bring you into His timing and His life. Don’t fear what man may think of you, just walk in Him.

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

If you love the Lord God with all your heart and love others as yourself, you will fulfill the works of the Lord.

Right now, I rebuke the spirit of depression and cancel it’s every work and call upon the name above all names to restore into lives of those who are reading this LIFE, live says the Lord, LIVE! Arise and shine for the light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen up you! Arise, Arise, Arise! The breath of life into you right now.

THe power of the Lord is performing The Releasing out of bondage into life more abundantly! Finances birthed, relationships mended, fear removed as their is a releasing of His favor upon you, a releasing of His power into your life to create in you a conquerer, a releasing of love to melt the hardness. A releasing of His glory to change your house from darkness to light RIGHT NOW! Right now, right now! With a releasing the fight is over, the war is complete and new life is born by the river of life. No more to return to the darkness but life, life life! There is sunshine in your eyes, a purpose upon your heart, it’s time to rise up out of the cave and conquer what has tried to defeat you. But the Lord says, I am with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you as I am the One who now fights for you. Fear not and be strong as I fight this battle, as I conquer the enemies in your life. Fear not as you see my right hand move on your behalf. I am the Lord , I am the beginning and the end, I am the Alpha, then Omega, I am the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I have done it before, shall I not do it again? Says the Lord. Freedom in me, BE!

A right now faith is being imparted to the churches. A right now breakout is being poured out among His people, this is the time of restoration, a time of impartation, a time of conquering. The faith being poured out is being imparted to you right now. Last Friday night while I was at the church at the mall, I was leaning up against the counter where we serve food and I know God was wanting to give me something but I wasn’t sure what it was. As soon as I could get my spirit calmed and quieted I was in another dimension but in my body and I could see a little crystal coming down from heaven. As it approached it was burned inside of my spirit the living, shining like a crystal, gift of Faith. I could see the word FAITH as it entered into my body through my head and hit the souls of my feet.

Something inside of me changed that moment to a new boldness in the voice of the Lord. Not a rudeness or sternness, but a boldness in obeying the voice of the Lord in faith. Something was dramatically changed inside of me forever. God wants to give this same gift away to all His people, He wants us to be bold to spread the Word of God but to also be bold to obey the voice of God in faith. His sheep know His voice and they obey.

This kind of faith brings freedom to the bound, to the sick, to the handicapped, to the depressed, it brings life to dead. This kind of faith brings signs and wonders and miracles. This kind of faith messes up religion, wrecks the programs and schedules, it changes life as it was known and makes all things new.

If you have read any of the other articles you can see that God messed us up in Malta, Ohio and since then we have been wrecked! We try to hold worship practices but we have yet to do what we have practiced since then, we used to have a schedule to end services by 10pm which is pretty long to some standards but this kind of faith has removed all borders as 1 to 3 am is the norm now. The longer we stay the more the miracles happen.

God spoke to us saying the signs and wonders of silver and gold, diamonds and gems would begin appearing and the miracles and healing would be following us wherever we go. God has performed so many promises we just knew inside it was about to break out. We have been soaking in His presence and spending as much time with the Holy Spirit as possible and the hunger for the deep things of God is enormous.

On Sunday we went to 7 Days of Praise to worship inside the tent of David for a 2 hour time slot. We began singing a song and as soon as we hit the first note the gory of God began pouring out. Freedom struck the place and I could see people as eggs placed in a pickle jar just soaking in God’s presence just as being marinated like a steak. When there is marination it is permanent. It soaks all the way to the bone. We ended up singing the same song for 2 hours with different spirit led renditions to burst through with a fire into the atmosphere. We finished up and allowed the next team to transition as they payed the same song for another 45 minutes while we ended up praying for people as they were delivered from depression and weariness. I was praying in the Spirit and I kept being drawn to this women in a prayer tent, I kind of pawned it off until she came out and then God said to go speak to her, that He had a word for her. I said, “Ma’am I have a word from the Lord for you” and she said ok. This started the Gift of faith in action! I didn’t know what the word was and I still don;t know, but God took that obedience and turned it into a physical manifestation of His glory. Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of the Lord, or the voice of the Lord! She then began delivering a word form the Lord back to me that was confirming about 5 years of promises to me but then when she finished she said look at that, there is gold on you! It was on my shirt, on my neck, it turns out that there was silver, gold and another crystal looking dust on me. It was the glory of God resting on us. We continued on praying for people and we began noticing that other people being prayed for began having the metals manifest on them also!

Receive the gift of faith today and begin acting on the voice of the Lord boldly without fear. If He says to pray for someone, pray. If He says someone has an ear problem and He wants to heal it then speak it. Begin walking by the spirit of the Lord! Don’t let religion hold you to a program allow love to work not a program.

Sure you may make some mistakes and you may go through a hundred people before someone actually gets healed, but when the first one gets healed you will receive the boldness to act, the faith to react. I would rather fail at believing then fail at doing nothing. It’s time to move into a new time of an abundance of faith. People may criticize and point but I have realized it is only the religious that walk without the true power operating within all of their heart. Don’t fear man in all that they may say or do, just listen tot he voice of the Lord and by boldness in faith allow Him to perform it through you.

God can use the simple to confound the wise through the acts a of faith. If you can realize that the gift of faith can be the obedience of a word from the Lord that can break loose a miracle then you will see the gift perform and loose an atmosphere into the heavenlies! Man can not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! The Message version of the Bible says this:

Mat 4:4 Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”

Last Saturday we were having a golly washer, as I tell Brian my acting Associate Pastor, people laying all over the floor laughing and crying when my wife all of sudden backed up off the stage and took off running across the room toward Christie, one of our Armor Bearers, and belly slapped her head on! They both fell away from each other as the power of God hit them both! The place broke free and healing began! She then got up and began running toward me, I looked around to see where I could run to then I thought “how can I run from God?” WHAM! She hit me and we both were hit by the power of God. I got up and she was sitting up on the floor bouncing up and when she would come down she would say either pow or bam! Each time she did this a wave of His glory was hitting the people. The Holy Spirit would hit people with a smack every time. An uncommon seed sown brought about an uncommon harvest.

To wrap this up, she had to use the gift of faith by putting into action everything she seen and heard the Father saying and doing for His glory (His goodness) to be poured out. Receive that gift right now and begin walking in a new boldness of restoration and power in your life to help others. (remember to always seek Jesus’ presence not the signs and wonders)

In Jesus’ Love
