The Testimony of Jesus Christ

The Revealing of His Sons

 

Acts 1:8 - reveals that the Holy Spirit came to earth, not to give us a good time in church, BUT that we might be a witness in the earth for Jesus Christ.

 

Holy Spirit is the 3rd part of the Godhead that descended to earth when Jesus ascended to Heaven, now seated at the Father's right hand. Jesus completed His earthly assignment over 2k years ago, and the only one who knows Him is Holy Spirit. You and I did not witness what He did. Many people still fight over the validity of the Bible and quarrel over who wrote it.

 

"…that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." John 17:21

 

This scripture gives us insight into the mind of Jesus as He was at the end of His earthly assignment. Jesus let us in on a secret, and that is unity with the Father. As He was unified with His Father, it caused Him to walk in kingdom power. Jesus' last prayer was about oneness so God can do through us what He did through Jesus.

 

Jesus came demonstrating the Kingdom with signs following. He was the first son of God that had His Father's backing because He only did what He heard His Father say.

 

Holy Spirit, who lives on the inside of every born-again believer, is the reality of the Kingdom inside our spirit. Holy Spirit can only speak the truth, and He reveals the mind and will of our Father. When we begin to live a life following the lead of the Holy Spirit, then we become witnesses of Jesus Christ and grow into mature sons of God. Romans 8:19 says the creature waited for the manifestation of sons of God. Sonship carries the highest level of authority on the earth because it carries the backing of the Kingdom of God.

 

We are living in the hour that the earth is travailing for the sons of God to arise. We are shifting from the era of church services to the Kingdom of God. It is the rise of God's Government coming into the earth through natural transactions to bring about His movements of exploits.

 

This journey and all of the intriguing turns, pit stops, and atmospheres was developing the Apostle of Reformation that He hid and groomed in plain sight, but behind the scenes, until He was ready to unveil.

Gracie's Chair

God always allows me to see the principles of His kingdom through our everyday life scenarios.

Meet Gracie, the dog that captured my heart at first sight.  When I first met her, I thought she was Chastity, my childhood dog reincarnated.  A few days after that crazy talk, God woke me early in the morning and said, “Everything I created knows my voice and smell, except my people.”  God started showing me Gracie’s mannerisms from a Kingdom perspective.  She could smell the God on me and would respond and interact with me from that place.

Now, why do I call this blog, Gracie’s Chair?  It was 2 weeks after we moved in with one of my leaders, that the COVID-19 pandemic hit the earth and everyone started working from home that changed Gracie’s atmosphere.  Prior to our arrival and COVID-19, she could only sit in her chair, located in the family room, and sleep in her dog bed in their room.  This is Gracie’s 3rd home, for the other two were abusive, and this family loved her and made her safe and comfortable, but only in the areas that they permitted.  

Because of my and mother's love for dogs and how we interacted with my childhood dog, I didn't realize we were crossing the boundaries they set for her.  In one moment, Gracie's atmosphere went from being alone all day while her masters went to work -- to people being home all day and now having access to the entire house, by accident because of the love that we had for dogs.

The chair represented her home, her safe place, her “go-to” place, her comfortable place, her familiar place and she would stay there all day with no problems only to wait for her master’s command.  BUT NOW, that chair is punishment to her.  She has been elevated, liberated, and set free from one chair to literally the entire house except for the kitchen.  Her attitude is like, the floor and chair are now beneath her; because she has experienced a greater love, the bed and just being in the midst of everyone.

When God revealed Gracie’s disposition of this chair, He flips the script onto His people.  His bride, His body, His set-apart ones, His priest who are kings in the earth and said, “I have given you access to my entire Kingdom, but yet you stay in the familiar places of Lode-bar.”  How many times has God spoken via His written word that became the answer to your question?  Or the spoken word, the preached word, or that inward witness that confirmed His direction or instruction, only for us to go back to that old habit and mindset.

God is calling His church to ARISE out of the places He has delivered us from.  Going back to Egypt or Lode-bar is a place that will only yield death; because those places represent where God was and not where He is.

Staying in sync with Heaven’s movements will cause you to begin to explore how to maneuver in God’s Kingdom inside the authority He has given you.  You can never be in the OLD and NEW at the same time.  You must CHOOSE to come out of the old, to explore the new dimensions in His house.

God is inviting you today, right now, to come out of the OLD and familiar conversations from your past.  They only fuel the enemy's agenda, which is to oppose God’s agenda for your life.  

I Love YOU, now ARISE!

The Prophet and Jezebel: Two Voices Fighting for Control

 "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh." ~ James 3:10-12

 

Many scriptures connect the heart and mouth posture. Matthew 15:18-19 says it is not what we eat that defiles a man, but what comes out of the heart. For out of our hearts proceed evil thoughts. Jeremiah 17:9-10 tells us that our heart will deceive us, for it is desperately wicked.

 

As children of God, we are commanded to live from the inside out and charged to pay attention to our inner conversation. The Holy Spirit who came to live in us at our moment of salvation is an inward witness of the reality of God's Kingdom. This life is the complete opposite of how we grew up, which is an outward sensitivity.

 

Prophets are God's MOUTH in the earth. 1 Kings 19 introduces Jezebel's appearance. Elijah, the prophet of God, was just used mightily to announce rain after a 3-year drought, went toe to toe with 450 prophets of Baal, and then outran the chariot down Mt. Carmel. However, after Ahab told his wife Jezebel about what was done, she sent word to him that made him leave town.

 

This spirit is an opposing voice to God's (1) voice, (2) plan, and (3) Kingdom. This spirit is NOT just in the church, but rules inside all seven mountains; FAMILY, GOVERNMENT, CHURCH, BUSINESS, etc. It carries the trait of manipulation, which is a subtle attack to the mental and emotional side to get what it wants. Manipulation is a witchcraft spirit and behind that door yields no good thing, and it leaves its fruit of destruction over these lands. Jezebel uses manipulation, for her goal is to attempt to sway someone's emotions to get them to act or feel a certain way.

 

It makes a person feel obligated, compelled, resentful, angry, and pressured to perform for the relationship's sake with no regard for others' feelings. Every person has dealt with manipulation; from childhood, school, the workplace, and your spouse. However, when you begin to come into your purpose, you find yourself struggling to move forward with God, not realizing another opposing voice is IN YOU.

 

There are two voices inwardly speaking against each other. One voice speaks from your spirit, and the other voice is speaking out of your soul. Your soul carries the memories of all your life's experiences; joy, pain, hurt, trauma, etc.

 

1 Corinthians 14:32 says, "And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets." This scripture tells us that the prophecy is under the speaker's control. However, if you are not delivered, you can have good intentions to speak what the Lord says, but if your emotions are not subdued, you will release out your emotions, which is Jezebel's plan to disrupt God's agenda.

FREEDOM is always waiting for you to SEIZE moments and EMBRACE the God encounters that He is always releasing. They are not always inside your church services, but at the CROSSROAD of CHOICE. What crossroad? The crossroad where you are faced with a decision to respond by what you KNOW God said, vs. how you FEEL from your emotions inside your soul.

 

When we allow Holy Spirit to influence our lives, His divine nature manifests inward and outwardly in man's expressions (Galatians 5:22-23). When God is raising His prophet for office, He will take you through a deep inner cleansing because He already knows what lye in you. God is after the voice that will speak contrary to His purpose, that we are unaware of at the start of our journey.

 

Steps to FREEDOM. 

1. Recognize how she plays out in you and around you through other people, especially those familiar.
2. Come out of alignment with Jezebel through the daily confessions of your mouth.
3. Bind the spirit of Jezebel, rebuke and forbid her to operate in your life.
4. Muzzle her mouth and yield yourself daily to Holy Spirit and His influence and guidance.
5. Stay AWARE and ALERT because your freedom is on the side of your obedience.

 Read the article: "Don't Sleep on Jezebel" for a deeper understanding on how she operates inside the wounded soul. https://karen-presley.blogspot.com/2019/03/dont-sleep-on-jezebel.html
