The Arise of a New Man

 

VISION:  Two (2) identical men (same clothes and person) running directly behind each other and as they came around the corner the man in front ran w/ momentum and the man in the back tripped and fell.

Hear the word of the Lord:  The Kingdom of God’s Reformation is the revealing of the glory of Jesus Christ walking the earth again inside of the arising of Sonship. God’s Kingdom is not with words only, but in demonstration of signs and wonders.  It is the tearing down of the old and the arising of the new.  I AM is still doing the shifting in the atmosphere, so stop looking at your circumstances and position yourself for this next shift. 

This vision shows that as we come into this next turn those who bare the mark of the Kingdom will arise in greater momentum, and you will see the effects of grace falling from the church era.  Both men were identical on the outside, but only one was elevated.

This reminds me of another a Dream I had in November where God allowed me to witness people running down the steps excited to be released from a waiting stage and this other person wondering around the pool was like what about me?  When I woke I heard there will be elevation and loss inside of His movement. As the people were running down the steps it is equivalent of waiting in the UPPER ROOM.   

Come out from the familiar and routine. God is exposing the little foxes in our hearts so we can repent and make things right by turning our hearts completely back to Jesus. 

Apostle Karen 

Ascend to Soar

I had this picture since 2019 and today as I saw it, this word just dropped in me. 

Isaiah 40:31 says: “but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

‭‭

They shall MOUNT UP  and ASCEND to SOAR is what the Lord highlighted in me. Eagles fly and camp out in the high places of the mountains. They are considered the most excellent out of all the bird kingdom, and scripture likens us to eagles. Eagles are not afraid of storms because they use their altitude and the wind of the storm to mount them. Eagles don’t flap, they soar with the wind.  

Holy Spirit is the wind of the spirit and in this hour in order to SOAR you must first seize the opportunity to ASCEND. Anyone can decide they want to ascend by praying, fasting, or whatever sacrifice you put before the Lord. However the Lord’s ASCENSION comes by seizing His opportunity that Holy Spirit presents and then the wind of the spirit elevates you to another dimension. 

Ascending to soar when Holy Spirit brings it is not easy, because it requires another level of death and it will more than likely oppose your flesh (Rms 8). 

God is calling His people to the HIGH place or the UPPER ROOM like in the days of Pentecost waiting in expectancy and faith for the Reformation of His Kingdom.

The Battleground of the Mind. The Message Untold.

2 Tim 1:7 says God has NOT given us the spirit of fear but a mind of power, love, and soundness. Beloved there are a lot of scriptures concerning the MIND. To name a few, He tells us to be renewed in our mind, to love with all our mind, be of one mind, be humbled in our mind, let His mind become ours, and don’t let our mind be carnal for its enmity against God.

 

We know our mind is a place where thoughts come, go and park inside our minds. 2 Cor. 10:3-5 tells us that our weapons are not carnal, but spiritual to the pulling down of strongholds. Strongholds are defined as a place that has been fortified, to protect it against attacks. This is what military and armed forces uses. However, it is also a place where a particular cause or belief is strongly defended or upheld.

 

Our mind is a part of our soul. Genesis 1:27 says God created us like Him, spirit; but Genesis 2:7 says he formed us from the dust and then breathed into us and made us a living soul. Our soul is comprised of 3 parts: mind, emotions and will. This is the part of us where our personality and character are shaped.

 

Our mind is also comprised of 3 parts: the conscious, (what I know and see), the subconscious, (the mental programs that was created by our experiences/ the autopilot part of us), and the unconscious (that place where we got stuck and became numb to the pain it left behind).

 

This is the mandate of INNER HEALING!!!

 

Like the steering wheel is to a car, our mind is to our bodies. It steers the direction of our emotions and then the emotions effect our body language. This ministry carries the message of transforming from the inside out. That means we must take the time to deal with what lies underneath the surface of our souls (Psalms 51:6 & 19:12), if we are going to step into the full inheritance Jesus died for.

 

Our soul is shaped by our upbringing, experiences, words (what we heard and didn’t hear), and our environment. Your mind holds the memories (good and bad) of your journey. Your spirit, the part that is made in God’s image, holds your destiny and inheritance. Your destiny is what you said YES to before you were born. So, it is crucial that we embark on a new journey of healing so we can embrace our identity and fulfill what God has earmarked inside this NEW ERA we are now living in. Holy Spirit knows what is in your spirit and He has been leading you to the many places you ran from, because it touched something familiar in you.

 

I want to focus this message on the unconscious part of our minds. One day God gave me a vivid picture image of being in a new house and when the heat or air was on, it oozes out a foul smell. The vents represented the soul, but the air ducts that sit inside the wall, that you can’t see is where the smell was emanating from — thus the unconscious part of us.

 

Life happens to all of us, and we may be able to recall things from our past as facts, but don’t realize the baggage our experiences left behind in the unconscious part of our mind that became numb. Now we are all grown up and the only US we know is the US we became.

 

In God’s presence He showed me an image of a baby that sits inside the sac (the thin wall that surrounds the fetus). However, inside of this sac was the part of us that got wounded and inside that place held the bad memories and fear of that timeframe. The pain that was left from the wound became numb; however, the thoughts where we begin to justify, make excuses, replay the recurring tape and the negative internal conversations stem from the wounded part of us that is trapped.

 

As we grow up, we get married, start families, become successful, talented, start businesses, ministries, write books and many other endeavors we adventure out in. However, during the journey there is a nagging voice of negativity and fear, that every once in a while, would creep up when pressure is felt.

 

Jesus is the Repairer of the breach (Isa. 58:12), and He came to open the eyes of the blind, bring us out of captivity and them that sit in darkness (Isa. 42:7). Jesus died on the cross for the sin of the world and redeemed us from the curse of the law. But He also died for our healing and to liberate us from the oppressor. This is the message of Salvation that carries the oil of healing to every fragmented part of us.

 

The part of our mind that was shattered by life left gaps, that’s the fragmented places where the enemy of pain/fear camps out. Just like God created our bodies to heal itself, God created the soul to protect itself, through survival mechanisms that unknowingly we adopted and plays out inside of the subconscious part of us. However, this only allowed us to exist and look the part on the outside. Jesus paid the price with His blood on the cross for our wholeness.

 

We are living in an hour where the spirit of religion, and your traditions will no longer fulfill you. The Reformation of God’s Kingdom is here in the earth right now. To embrace your true identity, you will have to battle against the voices that causes you to draw back and change direction when pressure is felt. To battle against the voice; (1) you must first embrace the part of you that was pushed to the side, where the pain became numb, but still carries an internal voice in you. And (2) you have to acknowledge all that God has done and shown you and confirmed in you over the years. That negative voice speaks from the place you got stuck inside the sac with the pain and bad memories.

 

What voice is going to take precedence? When you acknowledge God in your journey, no matter what it looked like, you will begin to recognize His hand at every turn in your life. So, when pressure is felt you begin to voice, “I BELIEVE GOD!” And not let the negative voice altar your direction or movements. Remember, it only knows pain, but you grew up and seen God through the different stages of life. His faithfulness becomes your weapon against the enemy of pain. This is also the place where you yield even the more to the help of Holy Spirit to stay on the course that He put you.

 

God spoke Isaiah 11:16 in 2006 when He birthed DZEC; and here we are 16 years later that this promise is unfolding. It tells us that there is a remnant that was left in Assyria and in the same manner God delivered Israel out of Egypt is how He is delivering us today. Assyria represents a nation that was fierce, cruel and showed little mercy to those they conquered. Well today we live under the oppression of a Babylon system that rules over God’s people like in the days of Egypt. We also live under the oppression of the pain that's numb that still gets a reaction from the unconscious part of us.  In the days of Egypt, it was the demonstration of the Red Sea that made a name for God and a supernatural way of escape for His people. As it was then, so it is now, that the Arm of the Lord is fighting for us in the earth and over our identities.

 

The divine release of the Lord is coming out of the glory realm and that is the awakening of our identity of sonship and in that place, God has given peace (Haggai 2:9).

 

If you are reading this, your pre-ordained destiny was being unlocked for this hour. God is awakening the dry bones of the church and raising up His remnant to possess their inheritance that was promised before they were born. Your inheritance is God releasing His justice for every injustice. It’s every written word and prophetic word that was released over you. Every promise God spoke is your inheritance, including your true identity as sons and heirs of the Kingdom, but you must battle against the voices of pain that have camped out in the unconscious part of you that is opposing your NEW DAY!!!

The Divine Release of the Lord

“And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.” Deuteronomy 26:8-9

 

In 2005, when I first moved into APGI, I heard the Lord say, “Prepare My people for what’s coming.” Back then, I never sought Him on what was coming. I received that word from where I was and that was business, so I started teaching workshops. As time went on, I always knew I was being prepared and groomed for something that was NOT here. The book of Joshua and how they possessed that land, has always been in the background of all my messages. Sometime around 2020 when the earth shifted, I heard God say, “I’m doing it again.” The Bible says we prophesy in part, and we know in part, so over these last 27 years, I have heard a lot from God that are various pieces that fit the same puzzle.

 

Within the last couple of months, God began to paint this picture of His divine release that is coming to the earth.

 

“And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.” Genesis 15:13-14

 

When God does anything, it is never from a place of reacting, but from His Kairos times that have been set before the foundation of the world. The above scripture reveals that before Abraham had one child, it was foretold that his seed would be in bondage for 400 years. The word says, God is long suffering. He loves His creation mankind, but He judges sin. At the set time of the Lord, God began to bring Israel out of bondage by raising up Moses to do His bidding.

 

Pharaoh saw Moses, but it was God that came in and started troubling Pharaoh and the land of Egypt. God’s ways go past our comprehension, but He is always purposeful in His movements. As God was troubling the land of Egypt, He was also preparing to bring Israel out in a way that made a name for Himself. God said, “I’m doing it again,” and I’m restoring My name in the earth (Eze 36).

 

As it was in the days of Israel, so it is today. There are many modern-day Pharaohs and Egyptians that God is troubling right now. Not just our earth system, but also the old gatekeepers of our soul that has held us hostage long enough. It is the pain that was left from old traumatic experiences (small or big) that became numb that sits in the backend of our soul. What we can’t see was calling the shots on who we are today. The real us, we haven’t met yet.

 

The “day of the Lord” is the judgment of sin in the earth, but it is also the awakening of His remnant army. It’s the changing of Heavens guards and He is bringing His divine release to those things that held us captives, like the release of Israel across the Red Sea. This hour we are living in has been preordained and you have been earmarked for this hour by way of covenant. Like Israel was the recipients of the covenant God made with Abraham. We are the recipients of the covenant God has with Jesus that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles (Gal. 3:14).

WHAT’S COMPETING WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE?

 

Allow me to paint a picture on inner healing, as I introduce Daughters of Zion Empowerment Center, Inc.

 

You move into a new house, you fully furnish it, and refrigerator is full of food. You love the ambiance of your new place because it’s your harvest, what you believed God for. However, there is something wrong when you turn on the air or heat. It has a foul order that is oozing from the vents into the atmosphere. Now if no air or heat is pumping, everything is good, and you are enjoying your home. But no matter how big, small, or luxurious your house is, that one issue will cause everything you worked hard for, to disrupt your atmosphere.

 

The vents represent your soul (mind, emotions, and will), but the air ducts that sits inside the wall that you cannot see, represents the backend system of your soul. What’s sitting inside the duct system of our soul is the trauma’s that happened in our childhood, (no matter how small or big). They are old, in the past, and dead; and those are the things that causes the foul odors that oozes out of our conversation and behaviors.

 

Jesus died on the cross not just for sin, sickness, and diseases, but for every emotional and mental trauma. God healed us the moment we came to Jesus for salvation and the moment we prayed for His healing in our life. Oftentimes, we can recall things in our past from a place of facts or knowledge, but don’t realize the baggage (pain) that it left in our soul that became numb; that’s the hidden thing inside the duct system. So, when the temperature changes in our lives, (new or loss of job, house, position, marital status, business, etc.), then what’s in our ducts start oozing out of the vents of our soul by way of behaviors, conversations, excuses, and justifications. We don’t realize it because we think it is just us or our choice. But the enemy uses what sits inside our duct system to rob, steal, and destroy the things Jesus said He came to bring life to.

 

This is the hour that God is bringing the church into our spiritual inheritance, like as it was in the days of Joshua. Coming out of the era of just wandering around the wilderness of church services to passing over to possess the land of promise. Our spiritual inheritance isn’t what we worked for, but something we were predestined to do, and was passed down to us. However, just like being in a new house and smelling that foul odor coming out the vents, will cause us not to enjoy FULLY what God is bringing us into.

 

This is the message of INNER HEALING. There is a Safe Haven that the Father has been carefully crafting over the last 16 years, by His hand to HEAL and bring supernatural release to His people. As we are about to enter 2023, we will be embarking on a new journey inside of God’s Reformation of His Kingdom.

The Battle… Waging War over Darkness

 

The crown of God’s Glory has always and will forever be the creation of mankind.  We were created in His image and after His likeness.  Psalm 8:4-5 says, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him?  And the son of man, that thou visitest him?  For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, And has crowned him with glory and honor.”  Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

 

When God created man, He gave us the “gift of choice.”  This is what made mankind unique and a step above the other creations.  We were created to reign over the earth, as we align ourselves with God’s voice.  God wanted family, and mankind is the 4th part of the Godhead positioned in the earth realm.  Satan hates mankind because we took his place, and the position of elevation that once was his, now belongs to us.  Satan’s MO is to get mankind to use their “gift of choice” separately from what God said.  Like Adam, God spoke to Him, but Eve offered another suggestion to the equation, which now presents the choice.  The enemy wages war against God’s WORD.  If he can get us to defile God’s word, then he robs us from walking in our inheritance,

which makes him a thief.  Darkness filled the earth by way of the choices mankind made.  The battle the church must engage in, is the battle against darkness. 

 

God uses man to do His bidding and fulfill His agenda on the earth.  However, if we are independently operating separate from God, then we are interrupting His agenda.  Light and dark devises in the heart of man, where choices are made.  Our fight and all that is taking place on the earth is not about people, the government, or the systems; but it is the war against darkness.  We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Eph 6).

 

The war over darkness, is to war over the internal conversations that keeps you in defeat, stuck, in pain, and bound.   The enemy sits in the unhealed hurts and unresolved issues in our lives.  Jesus Christ paid the price and died on Calvary for every issue that we would ever face, and when we learn how to appropriate the freedom, He purchased for us; then we can let go of old conversations that opposes God’s truth. 

 

Finally beloved, know that the enemies' control over our lives is to focus on what we see, instead of facing the real enemy which is the one we don’t see.  Perfect (mature) love cast out fear.

 

The Preeminence of God

 

God is the Creator of all things in heaven and earth. No one can match Him, compare to Him, or will come after Him. He alone is God and there is no other.  Col 1:18 says “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”  That means He is FIRST in everything.  First in importance, first in honor, and first in exaltation.  Jesus is the “head” of the church, and the “beginning” of all things.

Preeminent is defined as: having paramount rank, dignity, or importance.  Surpassing all others; very distinguished, outstanding, and supreme.

We were created in the image of God. We are spirit beings, just like the angels are spirit beings. The only difference is we were given bodies to do the business of our King in the earth. Psalm 8 says we were made a little lower than Elohim, but higher than the angels.

Due to the fall of man, we were all born in sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5), because everything reproduces after its own kind. However, one man Jesus the Christ died on the cross over 2000 years ago at Calvary to redeem us from the curse of the law / sin and purchased our salvation. Jesus ransomed us and brought us back into our rightful position as an heir of God and joint heir with Christ Jesus.

Our bodies that God formed, was so He could have access in the earth since out of all His creation, He gave mankind dominion over the earth. However, our bodies/flesh opposes the things of God (Romans 8) and stand as a wall before God in the earth. Our bodies respond to what it sees, feel, hear, touch and smell and since we can’t see God, mankind has reduced His preeminence in the earth.  Mark 7:13 lets us know that it is our traditions that makes the word of God of no effect.

Our religious traditions and church services gratify the flesh.  So, when we are handling the holy things of God; like prayer, the word, or our assignment and multi-task, we reduce God to our flesh realm.  Our flesh is always catering to the things on the earth and our spirit man is designed to cater to the things of the spirit.  So, when we are trying to do both or make God after our things to do list, then we reduce His preeminence in our lives and in the earth. 

In a corporate setting, we reduce His preeminence when our church or ministry settings cater more on entertaining the people verses teaching people how to come into, respect and wait on the supreme power of God in our midst.  

We are in the hour of a Holy Spirit revival where God will begin to restore and bring back the sanctity of His Name in the earth.  God's messages have always been repentance and turn our hearts back to the Lord in a NEW WAY, for you will not find Him in the old way.  He is requiring all of us to come up higher.

The New Era of God’s Ekklesia

 

January 2021, I declared, “The Dawn of a New Era: the Changing of Heaven’s Guards.” Many times we don’t know the whole totality of what Heaven is speaking when we release His prophetic decrees. In the first half of 2022, at different times, I heard, “It has begun,” “I’m making you battle ready,” and “A chosen generation for God’s battle.”

 

Daniel 2:20-23 tells us that it is God who changes the times and the seasons in our lives. He declares that the secret things belongs to Him, but what He reveals belongs to us. God speaks in pieces, but every word He speaks connects to what He already said and will say. In 2007 I heard, “It’s a Paradigm Shift.” That means the whole model is changing. Here we are 15 years later and we are now inside of the unfolding of the Reformation of God’s Kingdom, as He awakens His Ekklesia in this new era that will reign victoriously and with a prevailing anointing.

 

As the Reformation of God’s Kingdom accelerate, God will begin to Restore His Order. Reform is defined as: the act of making changes (in institution or practice) in order to improve. Restore is defined as: to bring back, reinstate, and return back to its original condition.

 

Romans 11 tells us that there is a remnant God has chosen, not by their works, but by His grace. This remnant was hand-picked before the foundation of the world. No matter of your background, ethnic group, age or gender, God has been preparing you behind the scenes for this hour. He has been in every phase of your life. He knew all the choices you would make and been guiding you back to His path that got you to the place where you are now.

 

He is the Refiner’s Fire, Fullers' Soap, and the Potter, that has been dealing with your flesh, choices, and exposing the wounds of the heart. He was the one who brought you into those crossroads to reveal the inward places in you that needed healing. He desires truth in our inward parts and that is what God has been after inside of those scenarios that play outwardly in our lives.

 

The remnant are in different places. Some have dealt with their wounds and subdued their flesh, not giving into the 2nd voice. However, some are hiding, running, and some are still trying to make that crossover into a life that is sold out for God’s agenda. Recently, God said, “Ready or not, this battle will hit your front door.”

 

The arising of God’s Ekklesia is the awakening of our true identity as heirs of God and joint-heirs of Christ Jesus inside of His Kingdom, which is His Government. Learning how to live in 2 realms is paramount to being effective witnesses of the glory. This Ekklesia will operate as God’s Kingdom officials and become King Jesus’ mouth in the earth; declaring what He says, forbidding what He is not allowing and God’s army angels will back us in the earth. The mountain of the Lord’s house shall arise in this hour to answer the earth and battle against systems of darkness.

 

Like Saul/David, Eli/Samuel, and Moses/Joshua; God is already in the NEW. Therefore, the OLD system, wounded conversations, religious movement is already DEAD to God, even before you see the Reformation with your naked eyes. The Harvest is READY and the Harvester / Reaper is here (Matthew 13:24-30), looking over His vineyard.

 

As an intercessor, I’ve been battling in the spirit over the ground that the enemy sowed his tares among the wheat. This fight is accelerating and I admonish you to bow in humility and say YES to HIS WILL before the next shift, that you won’t know of, until you see the side of the fence you are on after the shift.

 

2017 God showed me a dream that symbolized the “after math” of His shift and spoke, “I shifted and my people didn’t and the blind led the blind into a ditch.” How many signs do we need to know that God is doing a NEW THING that is springing forth that none of us have ever witnessed? Beloved, shut down all the extra curriculum and sit before God in humility to center and align yourself with Him. We are NOT in a same old season.

God’s Sent Messenger

Moving in the Holy Spirit Realm

 The Holy Spirit Realm is a type and shadow of the educational system we have on earth. It takes on the same analogy. Types are patterns and examples of spiritual realities. Jesus ministered in parables to teach the reality of an invisible, but powerful Kingdom.
 
Isa 9:6 says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” and Luke 2:52 says, “…Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” 1 Cor. 13:11 says, “When I was a child, I spake as a child…; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” These are scriptures indicating that we are called to grow up in our walk of faith.
 
Jesus is our example in every aspect of our spiritual and natural life. He teaches us how to move in the dimensions of the Holy Spirit realm, as well as to grow up in the authority that has been given to us. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we all were given a measure of faith (Rms 12:3), and grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ (Eph 4:7).
 
The education system is based on a curriculum intended to instruct and develop people to impact and grow socially. On the other hand, God’s Kingdom is able to impact the earth when the church grows up in the dimensions of His Kingdom.

 Our first dimension in God’s kingdom is faith. This is where we believe we receive when we pray. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6), because the opposite of faith is fear, doubt, and unbelief. These things rob God’s of Him performing in our lives and us being the witness in the earth for His Kingdom. Without moving in the dimension of faith, it stunts our growth to moving in the higher dimensions.
 
After we learn how to maneuver in the dimension of faith, then we begin to elevate in the dimension of authority. Mk 13:34 tells us that we were given authority over God’s house and over all the works of the enemy (Lk 10:19). When we mature and recognize that we are kings and priests (Rev. 1:6) in God’s Kingdom, not just Christians; we will begin to rise up in the authority that we inherited by Jesus, and begin using our Kingdom keys and weapons.
 
Maturity is the key to growing in the Holy Spirit realm where you begin to allow Holy Spirit to soar you into the other dimensions of the prophetic, angelic, kingdom, miraculous, glory, supernatural, and the atmospheric realms where the signs, wonders, demonstrations, exploits of God’s kingdom begin to be apart of your lifestyle.
 
Maturity begins when you bring your SOUL in subjection to the rule of the Holy Spirit in your personal life. Understanding that Holy Spirit is pulling the weeds out of your soul, so His PURE waters can flow through you. He can never excel above your ability to submit to Him. Remember, God is the Potter and you are the clay, being remolded unto His glory. Blessings to you as you MATURE in this hour of God’s greatest set time hitting the earth.

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
