"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2

"Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes." Isaiah 65.16

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19

The Lord is resoundingly calling us to jump over two major hindering hurdles in life and ministry. What might they be? Self and sin! His yoke is easy. God's burden for the Church is Light...Illumination, the revelatory. We have been crucified with Christ. Consequently, the Family is seated together with Him in heavenly places.

Two heads cannot be connected to, or function on, the Body of Christ. There is no divisiveness in His House. Furthermore, Believers haven't been called to carry around dead weights from prior mistakes and misdeeds. The same holds true when encountering those who have offended us.

Whomever the Son sets free, is free indeed. Never second guess, or journey beyond, that fact. You and I are no longer our own, but have been bought with a price, the shed Blood of the Lamb, God's pride and joy, the epitome of Divine yieldedness and obedience. We are the Spout where the Glory comes out! Once again, weights and mistakes no longer exist in Heaven's economy. The prophetic and powerful are ours, with little room for the beggarly elements of this world. The Children are to shed all baggage and defer to the Mind of Christ, bowels of compassion, that innermost directive!

Two-thousand years ago, the Most High, aware of time, destiny, the beginning and end, lovingly and agonizingly issued a decree of dispatch from the Throne, a consenting, but painful nod, as the Holy Spirit moved on the barren womb of Mary, under the most trying of conditions. That wasn't an easy call for God.

When Jesus left those glorious portals of perfection, the Comforter remained with our Creator. During the Savior's walk and three-and-a-half years of ministry, the Counselor succored the heart of Glory's Giver. Did He, the Almighty and Originator of everything that exists, not need Heaven's Standby to prov ide solace in the absence of His only begotten Son, that One Who was with Him throughout eternity, from the genesis of time, as it is known today?

Neither was it an easy task for Jesus to reside on this sinful planet. Without question, He forfeited more than a comfort zone. What a sacrifice from the Son's vantage point! Imagine a physical separation from the Father, inclusive of Heaven's environment and amenities. Before laying aside all wisdom and associated attributes, an omniscient Christ had to know what He was facing. The negativity behind that initial insight must have been light years beyond the most vivid perception of hell, any human could possibly encounter in his natural mind. Nevertheless, the Trinity was in agreement, deeming their decision more than worthwhile.

But for the joy set before our Redeemer, He chose to endure the cross, spiritually, emotionally and physically. What was His primary motivator back then? The winning of souls and expansion of the Family were a major part of the greatest decision ever rendered. Most importantly, the Savior was further encouraged, knowing that you and I would finally be set free from the curse of the law, permanently this time, and restored to full fellowship with the One Who loves us best.

I want you to understand that there are two levels of "reality," the highest of which is Heaven's infallible Word. Subservient to that is the sense realm, an extremely subjective and deceptive, fear-generating venue. Far too many live their lives there. It's a roller coaster ride for those who do, since limited vision handicaps that mindset. Additionally, perceptions seem real, but aren't always accurate. We're alluding to a locale where experiences and encounters are common unto man...the usual, occasionally horrific, more often than not, mundane. This world's common and ordinary reside there.

As Christians, we are invited to have our being within the "real," a realm that translates into the highest degree of truth and, more importantly, Covenant...a Contract of exciting, earthshaking destiny, Supernatural favor, protection, provision, guidance, success, an always having posture, an expectancy of Heavenly life and godliness.

What seems to be standing in the way of the Church, today? Sin-consciousness, trespassing guilt, shame, baggage from the past, reflections of rejection and abandonment, fragmentation of identity, and distrust are but a few of Hell's lethal deterrents. Satan's posture in dissuading the Bride from God's "real" is intimidation, a counter-attack against anointings and imparted strengths, in hopes of convincing the Believer that he is a defeated failure, permanently caught up in circumstances and crippled from moving forward.

He has been the brethren's deceiver from the moment of man's fall. If one buys into that nonsense, a contradictory confession and lifestyle imminently follow. The deceptive "realness" of humanity's environment convinces far too numerous victims that the game is over, and Glory's Children are life's losers. Darkness seems so "real," particularly if a pattern-interrupt, or Word infusion, doesn't respond to its allure. This is a progression of thought, pronouncement, act and consequence...good, bad and indifferent. Satan has already been overcome by the Risen Christ. As we connect in the Secret Place, the Word comes alive and neutralizes the ploys of darkness. Dreams and visions become a majorly significant component of every moment.

A day doesn't pass without inner-conviction that we're living far beneath our rights and privileges in the Kingdom, glossing over iniquity and its byproducts, while making ridiculously embarrassing excuses for not embracing and carrying out Matthew 10:8. This is our Great Commission, or reason for being, really, pregnant with the miraculous, accentuated, perpetuated and triggered by preaching the Gospel, eradicating devils, healing the sick and raising the dead. Beyond that, Jesus promised "even greater works than these."

Instead of getting the job done, too many declare to their Teacher, "The dog ate my homework!" Whatever sidetracks, dulls and desensitizes the soul, even for a moment, contains the wherewithal to talk us out of the Blood's Power, that higher, superceding, setting-at-liberty truth. This is an unacceptable level of toleration and twistedness.

This past week, a 14-year-old girl from my son's school fell off a hillside and lost her life. Negligence may have been involved; albeit no one intentionally wished evil or initiated harm in that scenario. Everyone became a permanent victim.The ripple effect of that loss has been overwhelming. Earlier in the week, while looking at this beautiful child's photo, an internal dialogue took over, with such remarks as, "Her body is within walking distance of this home. She's confined to a casket. My children rest in their respective beds." Midnight rolled around. Sleep wouldn't cooperate, only inexplicable grief and a conviction of wrongness. The bottom line..."Lord, let us not have peace until we become doers of the Word."

The Lord further promoted insightful parcels of information on this one, the first of which involved this teen's loss of destiny, directly followed by her parents' pain, what fellow friends and students were going through in an attempt to skew hell's murder with reality. A lot of personal worlds became unsafe and uncertain at that split second. Men, women and children will never be the same. Only God can unring that bell!

Can you imagine ushering a child off to school, then receiving a call, announcing his or her death, resulting from a field trip that Mom and Dad knew nothing about? Contemplate the intricate planning from hell that went into that onslaught. Satan made a strategic move at the proverbial chessboard. Is it now not God's turn, through the Beloved, to finish the game and claim vital victory? Absolutely! Our Commander-in-Chief is poised to tangibly and palpably clean the devil's clock through a Family of intercessors, gapstanders and doers of the Word.

Faith begins where the will of God is known. What has been missed and possibly prevented by a busy, distracted, disillusioned, agenda-fraught Church? Strongholds are out there. Which ones have we failed to pull down by not hearing the Shepherd's Voice? Who or what has hung in the balance? How much did all of this negligence cost us and those who were depending upon unique unctions and anointings?

You see, if accidents and premature losses were "right" and part of God's perfect will, unending rejoicing and internal peace would abound and infuse each tragedy. We don't feel good about sickness, poverty and death, because of its contrariness to the Gospel. Heaven has never instructed people to complacently accept whatever travels down life's highway.

The Bride isn't neutered and neutralized. Neither is She to stand idly by when demons fulfill their job descriptions. When in doubt, toss it out. Peace is God's endorsement. If tranquility lacks, observe the Green Light of the Word and conduit Life, Light and Love into that scenario.

Before addressing and reversing hell's exploits, we are to know the nature and source of each attack, then permit Heaven's Fire to ignite compassion's fuse, a prerequisite for undoing the previously undoable. The Holy Spirit never says, "Don't worry about it. Move on. It's fine. They'll get over this! Jesus needed a flower or another angel in Heaven." That ungodly attitude sounds murderous to me! Most are intelligent enough to recognize the Lord's nature and mindset. He's not an annihilator of the young and innocent. Jesus underscored that through the awesome exploits of His outreach.

One of the final lies heard before parting that proverbial sea will be, "Who are you? What business do you have in this? Let me rehearse your sins. They're real! God can't use a person in your state of helplessness."

There's the intimidation! Jesus heard all of that from the leaders of His day. In spite of their accusations and efforts to talk Him down, those precious ears were permanently tuned to the Father's beating heart. Fear didn't rule Him for a single moment. Opportunities to yield in that tormenting direction knocked often, particularly in the Garden; but those doors were permanently locked by the Kingdom's Keys of dominion and authority. As He is, we have become, through the finished work of Christ.

Get over those former days. Yesterday's mistakes don't matter any longer. Today is the acceptable time. Live in the moment, and not from event to event. Therein lie the fruits of sensitivity, fellowship and effectiveness that ultimately save lives and souls, while trip lining the miraculous!

"Patient Soldier, I am touched by the feeling of all infirmities. That brokenness, those hurts and tears, your sense of hopelessness and helplessness, have their deceitful existence in a lower realm of carnal, sense-led reality, wherein the Father has commanded the Church to rule, reign and have Her being. Listen attentively! Whenever a tear falls, and this is prophetic, you can indubitably depend on a Surge from the Anointed One, often emanating from the inside of available, on-call Vessels of Glory and Honor. Those hands were fashioned within the womb to prosper everything touched in response to that still, small Voice. Attend to the Word. 'Take no thought!,' in other terms, 'Don't worry!' At the precise moment, when Christ is to be glorified and magnified, a command will be issued from the Mercy Seat and received by those standing on their feet, at the table of healing and sufficiency's fullness. From there, they will serve, as drawn by that Cloud of Condensation, from tears of the broken in heart and spirit. Learn this well! Even though your Father is positioned upon His Throne, He isn't super-glued to that seat. I Am not only able to stand and move, but assuredly do, whenever a Little One sheds the smallest of tears. Where sin, darkness, poverty and death abound, how much more do goodness, mercy and grace supercede and rise to the challenge. This earth doesn't spin to magnify hell, but to function as a stadium of the miraculous, signs and wonders, Love, Light and Life. After all, do you sincerely believe for a moment that the Creator would establish a universe for hell's purposes, to serve as the enemy's sandbox? No! This is my playground! The earth's the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. This Army isn't to be on the defensive, but proactively preach the Gospel of Salvation to the uttermost, while the hand of the Lord moves, confirming the Word with signs following. Set time aside and let Me reveal the lies and intimidations of darkness, that which has robbed you of destiny's will for the moment. Faith filled pronouncements dominate the law of sin and death. The Bride's Presence, in each and every situation and circumstance, does not differ from those days when the Son walked amongst the abused, tormented and infirmed. Resurrection Life flows through the very pores of your skin! Why not? You are the Body of Christ. Man's Savior did not selfishly ascend with Power, dominion and authority, while leaving nothing behind for the 'called' and 'commissioned.' The Book of Acts supports that fact. The only constant in life, that lower sphere of 'real,' is change. The old has passed away. Ruminate not on those prior days. By so doing, room won't be available for what has been dispatched from Glory's storehouses. Let go! Get over the sin factor. That business was eternally settled on Calvary's hill. Holiness and perfection are not a behavior, but a Person. The Holy Spirit is poised to deliver and promote. At the juncture of surrender and pliability, He will accelerate promises, provision and proliferation. In the days ahead, doors will open, as favor falls upon individuals who have 'given up' in the natural. Examine and list all attacks. They were designed to intimidate specific anointings and strengths, exactly why I have instructed the weak to confess strength. Losses, to date, will morph into Supernatural unctions and resurrections in those express areas, to move forward and comfort others with the same comfort, soon to be encountered in your walk. Keep both eyes open. The Lord's arm is moving in the direction of lack and loss. While tears are wiped away by the Author and Finisher of Faith, a Glory Cloud will form to reverse that mocking captivity. It will be, even as I have spoken."
