To Know Him

"For my determined purpose is

that I may know Him, that I may progressively

become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving 
and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person

more strongly and more clearly, and that I may 

in that same way, come to know the power outflowing 

from His resurrection."

(Phil 3:10 Amplified)

Lord, this IS my passion. This IS my desire. For it IS my determined purpose that I may know You. There is nothing that I want more, Lord, than to know You more intimately.  I want nothing more than to progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with You, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of Your Person. O Lord, the wonders of Your Person. How that takes me to greater heights of Your love and seeking of Your heart.  How that takes me into depths of Your Word that only the Spirit can reveal.  O Lord, I want to know You more intimately.  I want to know the wonders of Your Person more strongly and more clearly.  I want to come to know and experience the power outflowing from Your resurrection in me.

You are alive in me, Jesus. You ARE my life, and because of this I count it all joy when I encounter various trials, because I know that the testing of my faith produces endurance. And I let endurance have its perfect work so that I'll be perfect and complete and lacking in nothing. And if I lack anything, especially wisdom, then I ask of You, God, for You give it to me generously and without reproach, and I ask without doubting for I refuse to be like the surf of the sea that's driven and tossed by the wind, for then how could I expect to receive anything from You, being double-minded and unstable in all my ways.

So Lord, because of all this I press toward the mark of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, and I remained focused on You, to know You, to seek and to know Your heart, to be found in You, to be clothed in You and to be Your covenant partner in evangelizing this dying world.

This IS my determined purpose, Lord.  Only knowing You more deeply and intimately will satisfy and fulfill the longing in my soul.  
Amen and amen.

Engulfed in His Love

When I arise to my position in Him and I sit down in my seat, my corporate seat of authority, I hear in my spirit, "Lack, debt, and poverty are defeated".  I know it is done.  It is finished.  He has accomplished it all, now He is drawing me up here to release His heart and His love and partner with Him to release His blessing of prosperity and abundance.

I feel a strong presence of the Lord engulf me.  And as I meditate on Him and wrap myself in His presence, I feel my heart enlarge and swell with His love.  I feel my heart begin to burn with the passion of His love.  I am consumed in Him.  He has set me ablaze with His love.  I feel His heart towards the people.  I feel His compassion, and my heart goes out with His.  He is drawing them up here.  He's drawing them up by His love, by His heart of compassion and mercy. His grace is being released, and His mercy is being showered down upon them. He is releasing His love.

Oh, thank You, Lord.  Thank You for Your great love and mercy. Thank You that Your mercy endures forever. Thank You for loving us and drawing us up here into Your presence and for giving us Your heart. Thank You for imparting Your love and grace in us to love others, to be Your conduit of love, to be Your conduit of grace and blessing. Thank You for Your never-ending love. You are all we need. You are all we desire. You are our all-sufficiency. You are our satisfaction. All that we are is in You.  All that we ever will be is in You.  We surrender all, Jesus. We surrender all. Have Your way. Live Your life big in us. Manifest Your goodness and greatness in us. Let the world see Your glory through us. We reach out and draw them up into Your glory by Your love. Amen

Arise, Shine People of God!

This was the Word of the Lord tonight.

"Arise, shine for the light has come

and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!"

Isaiah 60:1

We will arise, God. We will shine. We will take our place in You. We will shine forth Your glory. We will rise to our position in You. We will take our seat of authority. We will see Your kingdom come and manifest itself here on earth as it is in heaven. We will see the earth change as we rise up, as we take our place. All mankind will see and know that You, Jesus, are alive and living in us and that this earth is Yours and the fullness thereof.

We will arise, Lord. We will shine. We will take our place. We are seated with You in heavenly places. We will shine forth Your glory. Amen and amen

I'm Taking My Seat

As the Lord has drawn me up into this glory realm and I'm learning to live here, tonight I took the hand of the Lord and came into agreement with His dream and received the impartation of the anointing, the deposit of His grace and power, His super into my natural for this assignment that He's given me. And now the Lord's leading me to take my seat of authority that He's reserved for me for this assignment. I've learned that every assignment has a seat of authority and without positioning myself by purposefully taking my place in that seat of authority I will never fulfill the vision that God has placed in my heart. This seat of authority is not about me, it's about God's eternal purpose on earth and the assignment that He's entrusted to me. It's backed up by heaven itself, and it's a seat that I must sit down in so His eternal purpose can be released corporately. In the book "Positioned To Bless" by Faisal Malick, (a must read book) the author explains with great revelation about the "secret of the seat", that there's a personal authority that God gives each one of us that gets us to the seat, the place of our authority. It's a type of authority that helps get you through the trials, tests and wilderness, but then there's another power, the corporate authority, that enables you to fulfill your assignment once you are sitting in that place of authority. Each type of empowerment is for a purpose. He explains that creation waits for you to take your seat, because without you doing so the eternal purpose of God can not be released. He has chosen YOU for an assignment and He will anoint YOU for it. Other people's deliverance and victories are waiting and depending on you taking your seat. You are the carrier of their promise.

I see it now, Lord. I understand the importance of me taking my seat. I thank You for the grace and the authority that You've given me to bring me into this place, into this realm and this seat of authority. Thank You for giving me understanding of this. I take my position, Lord.  I accept the invitation and this corporate assignment, and I sit in the seat that You have created for me for this work of Your Spirit. Do now, Lord, through and with me, all that You have in Your heart and mind. Release Your blessing in and through me so that I may be a blessing. Make a public display out of the enemy through this completed and fulfilled assignment.  I say, "Yes, Lord" as I take my seat.  And now, Lord, I ask You to give me greater revelation of this seat of authority. Give me greater revelation of this glory realm that we are created for that I may release it to others and advance Your Kingdom in this hour. Amen

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me

For He has anointed me."

Luke 4:18

It's Just a Pinhole

I praise God that my spirit has found its home in this glory realm. I'm learning to live in this higher place of victory. I'm seeing with eyes of faith and feeling the heart of the Father for people up here. I'm pursuing it. I'm purposing to go there throughout my day and connect my spirit and heart with His. I thank You, Father, for this place. I thank You for this glory realm where Your love is felt and Your power is released. I thank You for showing me these pinholes that Your worshipers have made with their lifted hands and hearts of worship to You, and that they have created an opening that You can lazer Your love and blessing and glory down through to them. I thank You for drawing me up here to Your heart to feel Your love and Your compassion for them. I thank You for giving me Your love for them, for giving me an outlet of prayer through Your mercy and grace and glory into their lives. I thank You for giving me discernment and wisdom and insight and understanding into things from up here. I thank You for Your love and the connection of Your heart. I release Your love and Your glory into their lives, Father. I see that everything is pale to Your glory but that everything is created by You and for You for Your glory and You want to be glorified through it all. I thank You, Father, that You have even shown me from here that the lottery is just a pinhole. It's just one tiny pinhole along with others that You want to shine Your glory through into peoples lives. It seemed like such a huge thing below and before when You had said, "Take ownership of it", but now I see it's just a pinhole compared to Your glory. I thank You that You are showing me hearts of people that are worshipers, lovers of God and kingdom builders and that You want to shine through and bless with Your glory and use them to bless others through this avenue of blessing. I stand with You, Father, and I partner with You to release Your love and Your glory through into their lives, that they may know and feel Your love through this blessing. Penetrate the darkness with Your light and Your glory. Dispell the darkness and release Your glory into their lives, Father. Make a public display out of their enemies with Your blessing. Manifest Your goodness and change the course of things through Your blessing.

It's All Up Here!

This was a rich experience I had the other night in corporate worship that I have continued to revisit in the days following. The Lord's drawing us up higher. Responding to the leading and the word of the Lord to come up into the glory realm, that realm of the Spirit where the kingdom of God is experienced, I looked up and reached up into the cloud of glory that continues to hover over us, and I pushed through, creating an opening with my hands and my spirit. With a desperation and a determination to go up higher, to go up into that glory realm, to experience a higher and greater place where my spirit is free, I pushed through and I lifted myself up through the cloud. I reached and I pushed, I reached and I pushed. I worshiped and I reached. I worshiped and I lifted myself up by the winds of the Spirit, and suddenly I saw it! I'm there! It's up here! The kingdom! Freedom! Glory! Joy! Life! My inheritance! With my head lifted up and my hands outstretched and out to my side as if they are propping me up through and above the cloud, and with my head and upper body above and soaking in the glory and my lower body below, not having come through fully yet, I experience a whole new dimension in the Spirit. It's the kingdom! It's the realm of glory where I am free!, where I am blessed beyond recognition, where I am strong in the Lord and bold as a lion. It's here in this glory realm that I am experiencing what I was created for, where I see with my eyes clearly, with eyes of faith, but it doesn't even seem like faith, because it REALLY IS reality! It is the place that my Spirit was created for, to live and operate and speak from. It's the place of the kingdom where I am truly seated with Him at the right hand of the Father, where I have authority and power and dominion, where no sickness or disease has power over me or can come near my dwelling place. It's a place where depression has completely vanished, heaviness and burdens are totally lifted. It's a place where I am not under a burden, but I see and feel the burdens of others and release power and blessing to deliver them. It's a place where I feel and experience my kingdom authority in Christ, where I activate it and release it down through pinholes poked in the cloud by the prayers and lifted hands of the people, where I release healing, provision, blessing and glory like a lazer into their lives, and grace, grace into their mountains! (I remember when we would worship, and lifting up our hands to heaven we would poke holes through the cloud with our fingertips to release the glory.) Now I was in a position to release it, to take my position in Christ and respond to the prayers and hearts of the people and release the glory! He's brought me up here. (O I thank You, Lord!) He's drawn me up by the Spirit to release the Spirit, to be His partner, to see and feel the needs of the people and draw upon His glory and His power and release it into the earth and manifest it on earth as it is in heaven. O glory! It's up here! It's all up here in the glory realm in Him that we experience what we were created for, where we live and operate in a realm that is supernatural and divinely empowered. It's up here where we must learn to reach and live in so that His glory would be released into the earth. Lift up your head. There's a higher realm. There's a higher place to go. But we must reach for it and push through into it with our worship and our faith. It's up here for us. We just have to go for it, believe into it, and finally experience it ourselves. God our Father, Jesus our Saviour and our Redeemer is drawing us up into His glory realm to partner together with Him in this endtime anointing for this endtime glory. We must say "yes" and go up higher! We must do it for the sake of the people that desperately need to see His power and His glory in this desperate hour. We must do it for His name sake, that the name and fame of Jesus will go out across the land so lives and souls would be saved. It's His kingdom hour. Glory!

"But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

my glory and the lifter of my head."

(Psalm 3:3)

A Release of the Blessing

"I pursued my enemies and overtook them,

And I did not turn back until they were consumed."

Psalm 18:37

Praying in the Holy Spirit, strengthening myself in the Lord, the Lord has spoken, "Pursue and recover all" as He had spoken to David in 1 Samuel 30:8. So I arise, and in the Spirit of the Lord and in the authority given to me in the name of Jesus, I reverse the curse over my life, over my family and over my church and church family. I apply and activate the power of the blood that's been poured out upon the mercy seat, the power of the blood of Jesus that has broken the curse of lack and poverty. I speak and declare that reversal into manifestation in the name of Jesus. And in the name of Jesus and in the authority and power of Christ, the Anointed One in me, I speak a release of the blessing of Abraham upon us. I press into the blessing. I place a demand on the anointing, and I draw from the inheritance that is ours in Christ Jesus. "For this purpose was the Son of God manifest, to destroy the work of the devil." I speak and declare a manifestation of the blessing of God to destroy the work of the devil. I speak and declare the curse reversed, poverty and lack defeated and inoperable, and the blessing of prosperity and abundance released and manifested in Jesus name.

Jesus, You came to give life and give it abundantly, and by the Spirit of the living God in me I speak a release of that abundant life through the manifestation of Your blessing upon our lives and our church beginning THIS week in Jesus name.
