"I'M IN!"





"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
(Luke 10:19)



We are in a WAR!  Huh?  We are on the Home stretch of this leg of the journey toward the Rapture of the Church, the fulfillment of all things, the seven-year tribulation, the return of Jesus Christ, and Hey!  ...  the WAR is on!  Everything that can be shaken will be shaken; we're gathering the sheaves; the Nations are ripe for harvest; the Church is on the move; the New Church Order is rising with fresh flaming swords, shined armor, and new orders  ...  Godly Fathers, war for your families, war for the Church, war for your Nation and the world's Nations, raise your fists, soar with wings of eagles, and fight alongside the Archangel Michael, and Get er' done  ...  because when it comes down to it  ...  You're either "IN" or out!


The Hebrew meaning of Michael is "Who Is Like God."  It is traditionally interpreted as a rhetorical question, "Who is like God?"  ... to imply that NO ONE is like God.  Michael, in this way, is reinterpreted as a symbol of humility before our Almghty God.  In the Book of Daniel, Michael was mentioned as the "great prince who stands up for the children of your people."  In the Book of Revelation, Michael leads God's armies against satan's forces and, during the war in heaven, defeats satan.  Michael is referred to as the "protector of Israel" and the "prince of the first rank."  Later, Michael is seen as the protector of the Christian Church.  So, You fathers in earth, You warriors of the most high God, You fighters in the faith, You strong muscle-bound defenders of truth, You have help!

 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
 to the pulling down of strong holds;)  Casting down imaginations, and every 
high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into 
captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
(2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

We're not just going to waltz through the pearly gates!  Oh no, we're going to be bloody, scarred, tear-stained, sword-clad, armor-beaten, blazing-eyed, and tongue-worn, because Warriors are power-driven, Holy Ghost filled, Jesus' Name bearing, Hallelujah shouting, Maranatha quoting, demon blood dancing, and Victory waving Saints of the Most High God!  Why?  Because We ARE the WARRIORS for the Lord Jesus Christ, and WARRIORS know about War, care about War, study about War, deal with War, conquer War, stand up to War, are not fearful of War, and furthermore, War KNOWS them!

 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour.
Resist him, steadfast in the faith …”
(I Peter 5:8-9)

"Awake" is the key word of the hour!  And, as a matter of fact, if you are a Christian, you should be getting little sleep these days.  What?  It seems our Lord is waking His servants more and more. Why?  Time is short; headlines are fulfilling Bible prophecy; Nations are lining up; the breath of God is stirring the winds of destiny; prophetic people feel the urgent groan of a pushing God; war songs are on the horizon; sheaves are grabbing garment hems; the fire shut up in the bones is bursting forth in tongues; Holy men and women are speaking forth as time makes way for "time shall be no more;" new chords are wafting down from heaven's corridors as Holies are drawn to hungry spirits; and the governments are yielding to the authority of the throne.  What is it?  It's WAR for souls, WAR for dominion, WAR for spoils, WAR in the Spirit, WAR in earth, WAR in heaven  ...  WAR! 



Fight On, ye soldiers of the faith!  "Help is on the way," says Pastor Kenneth Phillips of PromiseLand Church.  We do not WAR alone.  But, the bottom line is, We must WAR; we must fight in the Spirit the battles that are the cornerstone of our faith.  We will endure to the end; we will overcome; we will Win this War, because the battle is the Lord's!  He can depend on His soldiers, because we've read The Book, and we know how the battle ends  ... One mind and One accord makes an unbeatable army; UNITY wins the war, and God wants to know  ...  Can He count on you and me? Hey, "I'M IN!"

Then He said to Jacob, "Let Me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob said,
 "I will not let You go unless You bless me."
(Genesis 32:26)

"From Glory to Glory"



"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the
glory of the LORD rises upon you."
(Isaiah 60:1)


It's all about the God of Glory wanting a soul mate to walk with 
 Him on waters, and go where no man has gone
Foregoing the earthly pleasures, and traverse another world in 
 measure, with the Lord in the early dawn

 
Look up, O weary saint of almighty God, for the Lord has opened the heavens; breathe in His Glory.  You are His shining vessel, filled with His power, walking in His beauty, and you are now worthy. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, washed clean by His name and His Word; you stand tall in His light.  "Come out from among them," says the Lord, "and be separate unto me;" climb higher with all of your might.  

For you are chosen and called out, holy and mighty in power and 
 wonders, used in the portals of aura
You are no longer in the lowlands of despair, you have reached 
 the apex above the bitter waters of mara

It was a climb on your knees, fasting and praying for light to come, and I AM here, now, lifting you from darkness.  You have entered a new dimension, beyond your last glory, and your air is lighter; your joy is unharnessed.  The valley had you bound, but when your hands reached over the crag, you felt the newness and the beauty.  Your strong endurance brought you here, with your sword and your armor; you went beyond the call of duty.

There are mysteries to unfold, exploits to render, and the Word to 
 perform among the Nations for the Lord
It's a New Day, a new aroma in the portals of the Lord's presence, 
 and it's time for a New mindset and a New chord

The angels are restless, the trumpets are tuning, the hoofs are pawing, and the Lord searches to and fro.  He's looking for those who climb higher, dig deeper, see further, crave stronger; the Lord's mind they seek to know. A matter of the heart, it is, of those who weep alone, those who strum their songs to the Lord, in soulful tones.  And they stalk Him in the night, begging Him to converse, as He arrives in the moonlight, responding to their groans.
  




It's simple, you see; the lover of man's soul longs for one to hear 
 with Vision, and See with sound, a paradoxical story
Of God Almighty "in earth as it is in heaven" with His creation,
 and take him "From Glory to Glory."

"Turn Us Again!"







"Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy
 face to shine; and we shall be saved."
(Psalm 80:19)




"Turn us" is the cry of Revival!  Turn the hearts of Your people, Your Church, back to You, Oh Lord.  "Unite us in Your love, in Your fire, in Your power, in Your purpose  ... and forgive us, Lord, for not being more devoted to You, more drawn to Your Will for planet earth, regarding the 'Acts' of Your Church."  We need to be in one mind and one accord, moving in one step, to empower the body of Christ in the earth today.  Nothing is impossible to those who are ONE in Jesus Christ!  If the Church could march as ONE, we could reach the entire world with the gospel of Jesus Christ; we would be moving as an unstoppable force in the earth, and it's time for just such a move.  God is waiting on us!  We are His hands and His feet; we are His voice and His called and chosen to do His bidding in a lost and dying world.
  

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
 after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
(Matthew 5:6)

It all comes down to "hunger." Is God's Church hungry enough?  Do God's people have what it takes to pull down the power needed for this hour?  Are we becoming people "after God's own heart?"  It's called Hunger.  Are we as hungry for righteousness, as we should be?  That's what REVIVAL does  ...  it puts people on their faces; it calls out the Sin, so it can be offered in repentance; it moves in waves of sorrow, humility and contriteness; it points the created "dust" to its Creator; it opens the puss pockets of iniquity!  REVIVAL!  It's a down on your face, tears for a lost world, cry for UNITY, plea for healing of our land, reaching for the One who reaches for us  ...  kind of thing.
     


The Lover of our souls will gladly rain down His love, rain down His glory, rain down His forgiveness   ...  if we just ask Him.  And, it's a glorious rain!  He fills, thrills, and seals us with the Holy Ghost and fire.  Once in a powerful service in Church, I felt literal rain on my face; I had my eyes closed as I was worshiping in the Spirit, so I opened them to look at the ceiling, because I thought we had a roof leak!  I reached up to touch my face and wipe away the water, but it was dry!  It felt like RAIN, and it was RAIN, the RAIN of the Holy Ghost, the RAIN of wonder, the RAIN of power from portals of Glory!  It's REAL  ...  and YOU can have it!  It's the Spirit of Almighty God dwelling in a human being; it's unspeakable and full of glory; it's the joy that comes in the morning; it's the refreshing for a lost and weary soul; it's nothing like you've ever known or even experienced in your life!  Once you receive the Holy Ghost, you can experience it over and over, day after day, and it's the reason you can smile in the storm, be calm in the midst of terror, have peace with War all around, love when there's no reason to love  ...  It is JESUS CHRIST in YOU!




It's the hottest thing going right now.  What?  The Holy Ghost and fire!  Over 580 million people worldwide have received the Holy Ghost and spoken in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.  What about the Church?  That's where REVIVAL comes in; we know the Lord Jesus Christ, or we think we do, but we're stuck in this Age called Laodicea.  It's the luke warm Church Age.  But, God said that we should be hot or cold; if we're luke warm, He will spew us out of His mouth.  It's time for God's mighty Church to be on fire, AWAKE, REVIVED, RENEWED, and marching like a well trained army.  Everything starts with His Church and it moves outward; judgment starts at the house of God and moves outward; Spirit starts in the Church and moves outward  ...  It's time for the fires of REVIVAL!




It's time to reach for God like we never have before; throw caution aside and become "hungry;" set aside the inhibitions and worship like nobody's looking; dance in the Spirit like we're the only ones in the room; shout for joy like there's never going to be a tomorrow; reach for Him like a panting deer; run to Him like it's the last lap before the ticker tape  ...  and It is!  REVIVAL knows no holding back; it runs  wide open, full throttle, get in or get out, shout it or shut up  ...  it's a fiery madhouse of wild worship for the One who was ripped to the bone, bled and died like a criminal, was nailed like flesh was a construction plank  ...  and He did it for You and me, for a lost world, for creation formed from His own hand  ...  REVIVAL!

"Purity"


"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life."
(Proverbs 4:23)

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, says the
Word of Luke 6:45 to all who will humbly hear
And the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it, was the  
 Word from Jeremiah, which makes it very clear
We have a responsibility to guard our hearts, and keep them
holy and pure before the Almighty Lord our God
It must be holy and clean as we hide the Word there, keeping it
from the forces of evil and from being flawed
The heart of love is kind, suffers long, speaks no evil, and is the
image of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord
It touches the untouchable, loves the unlovable, reaches the
unreachable; it's the Master's written chord
It's what binds us together and keeps us whole, as couples and as
families in this world and this thing called life
The hearts full of love, and filled with the Lord's Spirit are more
apt to live in peace, and without fury and strife
The heart that's a flame on fire from above, is the heart that seeks
truth in God and the auspices of His Holy Word
It's a heart that can be molded by the One who creates, and it's a
heart that can be moved on, and continually stirred
Play it like a harp, O Lord; and let it sing Your song, for it's 
 in Your hand, as strings of lilting lovely music
Let it be ever in Your grasp, as Your love to the world, so make it
like You, Lord, renew, remake, and infuse it
Trust is the love word that fills our hearts, like the three Hebrew
children, walking with You in the fiery flames
It's all in the heart, the home of our devotion to our Lord; the
 fire that burns, from the power of Your Name
O, the light that emits from our hearts, when once we belong to
Jesus Christ, and of His salvation we partook
We weep with Him over His lost world, and over those who have
turned their backs, and His love they forsook
He's the Lion and the Lamb, come to bring strong love and tender
mercies, of His everlasting love and grace
To a fallen world, searching for peace, freedom from Sin, and to
lay their weary heads in a soft angelic place
Heaven is the glory and the Eden, where we were meant to dwell
in the beginning, with innocence and security
So, we would be very wise to make sure that holiness, love, and
forgiveness, always flow from a heart of "Purity."
