Heaven's Mandates!

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." Deuteronomy 30:19-20

"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." Habakkuk 2:3

"Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road." Luke 10:4

"So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven." Acts 26:19

Dreams and visions are truly the Holy Spirit's language. Humanity's heart is the place in which God makes known His will. The Word calls that region..."the candle of the Lord." At the beginning of creation, the Father elected to design man in His likeness and image for a high purpose...fellowship and blessing. That's correct! He wanted Kids, upon Whom Heaven's windows could bestow vast blessings! Goodness and Mercy, those wonderful twins, were designated for the Object of Daddy's affection...the Church! No good thing will be withheld, as mandates are meticulously entertained and obeyed. His statement is clear: "You take care of My business, and I'll prosper yours!"

Over the years, we have become desensitized to that still, small Voice on the inside, instead deferring to another messenger, one seemingly speaking with greater demand and intensity, but far less peace and joy. All that is turning around in these days of outpouring. Most of us are weary of running into roadblocks and walls. What's good about any form of pain is its departure! Nevertheless, that uneasiness is our best friend, pointing each Christian in the direction of destiny, associated effectiveness and rest in Him. As for me, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, ready to make some drastic changes in my walk.

God is gaining the attention of multitudes as His hand moves with the Word, confirming Covenant with signs following. The Church, Heaven's Sleeping Giant, has been arising from slumber with unprecedented intensity and Unction. We are finally reaching a conclusion that the Groom's Voice continually speaks to His Bride, according Her direction, midcourse corrections and hints of what's to come. In essence, He's proclaiming, "The Glory of the latter house is to be greater than the former."

Father's vision perpetually speaks. It faithfully attempts to gain our attention throughout each day. When ignored, a lack of tranquility is felt, an uneasiness that just won't go away. Satan has attempted to abort revelation, via the cares of this world and deceitfulness of riches. The natural mind says, "Impossible! Give it up! Who are you in God's scheme?" In reality, we are His reason for being. Consequently, a decision is required. Choose!

So much depends upon our siding up with the revelation. Vision is a prelude of what the Creator desires to fulfill. Usually, it's a fast-forward snapshot of time, when He declares..."This is My blueprint, a preview of what's to come!" Not unlike sitting through film clips of those soon-to-be-released movies, shown prior to the feature attraction, prophetic revelation whets one's appetite, gaining the recipient's attention. The Believer is encouraged, moment by moment, to meditate and gestate God's dream until birthing transpires. The vision occupies thoughts and actions, following us like that proverbial puppy. Our job is to protect and hold onto each Covenant-imparted seed.

The enemy's mentality hasn't changed. He frantically shouts..."We can't let that vision live. Kill the baby!" Nothing frightens him any more than your personal destiny. Regardless, God's Army moves forward in unity to plunder hell and populate Heaven. Souls are what this whole deal is all about, and they will be won through a variety of ways. Remember, every human has a spiritual button that, once pushed, will translate into a decision for Christ!

Depression is prolific in today's society. We are a walking, talking chemistry set. When out of sync with the Lord's call, anger (perceptions of sadness, loss and hurt) impacts every cell and fiber. Hostility is usually internalized and personalized, presenting and expressing as emotional disorders. You and I are being called to take the trash out, set aside those weights, walk on water and do some floating! His highest is for us to be far from all oppression. So we're not to trust in negativity. Observed mandates will deliver the goods.

Are you perpetually struggling with horrible thoughts and compulsions? Well, Satan's counterfeit is about to give way to real living! Life in the Spirit is always a flow. That doesn't mean there won't be speed bumps or ripples along the way. However, in yieldedness, there abides a peace which passes all understanding, a virtual knowing that Heaven is pleased as the Christian ventures down the Almighty's prepared pathway.

Pop quizzes and tests surface each day. The Church isn't responsible for invasive, intrusive thoughts and circumstances. Practically speaking, we cannot control the world or free moral agency of others. What's done with those projections and fiery darts is another story. They are to be brought into captivity and cast down, when not in line with the Word. Running everything through the Peace Meter will determine where it ultimately ends up. Every home has wastebaskets and garbage cans for discarding the worthless. Such must be the case in the Temple...emotionally and spiritually, as well. Dump that trash!

The enemy's primary target is the mind. He cannot touch a regenerated spirit. Your soul (mind, will, intellect, emotions, dreams, visions) has been deemed the door through which Throne Room revelations must enter and flow. In effect, it is the birth canal of God's miraculous.

You and I have been given specific mandates from Dad. All else is subservient to His commands. What stands in the way must be moved by us, as we agree with the Word. So much is hanging in the balance.

Get Over Yourself!

Los Angeles, California
May 5, 2001

"Beloved, the hour has come to lay down the lower life for that higher one in Me. What are you holding onto? Does the world offer anything of eternal value? This is the Christian's proving ground, a time and place in which you are to go in and possess the land, as well as a people who already belong to Us! Those daily trials against Covenant and revelation are just that, opportunities to experience and become mindful of Heaven's Power, its excellency in you. The Church has been called to break down physical walls, march straight ahead as a united Army, and be fishers of men, not keepers of the aquarium. Yes, Precious Child, Dad's mandate is to get over yourself, lay down that life, prefer others, knowing you are My primary focal point, the Apple of this eye. Those sustained desires have been personally implanted to be richly manifested by the Author and Perfecter of faith. Why would a loving Father issue an order to surrender? Simply because the Blood-bought Contract meets all needs, according to My riches in the Glory. Another way of delivering that message is to say...You take care of Papa's business, and I will make perfect everything of concern in your life and ministry. Listen attentively! Be strictly led of the Spirit, heeding each nudging and prompting. Daily, you will be issued assignments to reach and bless the hurting, even in the darkest of places. In fact, the darker, the better! Where sin abounds, grace much more gains ascendency. The Almighty's Flashlight works best in total blackness and bleakness, where no natural illumination exists. Nothing can extinguish Light proceeding from the Throne Room, in, through and out of a conduiting spirit. Specifics will arrive with intimacy. Nothing is too foolish. No word from Me is void of the Anointing necessary to bring itself to pass. The spectrum of compliance will range from granting a cup of cold water to raising the dead. Despise not the day of small beginnings. Little is much, Beloved, when the Commander sanctions your every move. Nevertheless, turning off that natural mind remains paramount in getting the job done. You will be taken to medical centers, cemeteries, bar rooms and locations that traditional, religious folks often shun. Heaven's Light is required now. The patient awaits spiritual surgery. Some are literally dying on the table. More need to be resuscitated...raised from the dead, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Go forth with the Word...Glory's Medicine, guaranteeing a certain cure. The specific amount, or rule, of faith has been granted My Bride. Don't travel beyond the Revelator's Voice. Ruling and reigning function best within that measure, or sphere in which you've been called. Command ye Me! The hand of the Lord will surely move with signs following. This is the day to journey toward the previously ignored and unreached. They await My truth and touch. Fear not. You will be backed by everything I represent and possess!"
