God is a God of Covenants

I am SO encouraged with everything that is going on. God never forgets His covenants nor His people. He swears by Himself since there is no one higher and He ALWAYS brings things to pass since He will allow nothing to tarnish His name.

Once I left SF in Dec 2006, I remember driving from Lompoc to Santa Barbara and hearing the LORD tell me, "You will be involved with Young Life." In my "microwave world" I sought out Young Life right away instead of allowing the LORD to bring it to me in His perfect timing. Two and a half years later, the LORD reminds me of that prophesy. PRAISE GOD!

And now, I am in a place where I need to trust my God in that He will provide so that we can leave in mid-May. We need to raise quite a few thousand dollars and it seemed impossible that we would be able to leave Santa Barbara when we wanted to leave. However, the LORD plays by His own rules and allows situations to seem impossible so that HE AND HE ALONE can get the honor and glory!! AND I say again: PRAISE GOD!!

Young Life has agreed to pay for 2/3 of the truck/food/hotel/gas on our way there! Praise God indeed! That still leaves us to raise some $ since Anna will not have a job right away but my trust is in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! My Provider! I do not trust in myself or any man because, "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD" (Jer. 17:5)!!

Praise God!!! And I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW that He will provide for us to leave in time!! And I want to be specific that I mean His time... However LORD I pray that if it is your will, and I believe that it is, we will be leaving Santa Barbara May 12th... :)

"Reformation Momentum"

Prophetic Word from Sherry Tait, prophetessOct. 29, 2008

For the Lord says, "I am releasing high level anointings of My spirit. These anointings include prayer and intercession for the nations. For My people are beginning to understand the Power of ONE, the power of united intercession proceeding out of the heavens with thunder and lightning to impact the nations.

"For I have called you My people, My Overcomers to take the and render powerless all false authority, all false gods and dethrone their power. For now, in this Third Reformation, there is a momentum that is building. For you have been called out as My Reformers, and now shall the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our God, and His Christ, His anointed ones. For I am gathering together out of the four corners of the earth, as ONE VOICE, the voice of authority. For you shall RULE the nations with a rod of iron. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of MY THRONE!! Let MY VOICE be heard. For I will gather you in 3-fold cords of agreement and power, unity and love, authority and dominion.

"Reformation Prophets and Apostles... Arise! Marksman, you are to take the high places. For these high places of influence the enemy has illegally occupied will wonder what "hit" them. For in the realm of My Spirit I am setting forth My commands," says the Lord. "I am naming names, so I would have you intercede over those I give specific names I reveal to you. For I am going to cause many notable "conversions" to take place in this season says the Lord. For I would have you to pray & decree over the 7 mountains of influence: business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family, and religion.

"For there is a MOMENTUM now in the realm of My spirit among my people and APOSTOLIC PRAYER IS GOING FORTH," says the Lord. "My authority is going forth from the mouths of My faithful Intercessors, Apostles and Prophets. The Mantles of My Wisdom and Understanding have been released," says the Lord.

"For you shall see with your eyes the turning of many events, and the hearts of many turning to righteousness. Be encouraged today My people, for nothing shall by any means harm you, if you continue in Me and Abide in Me. For I AM your Fortress, Your Shield, Your High Tower, Your deliverer. I have already outsmarted the enemy, for I have released a 'Saints Movement,' a grassroots movement of My Spirit in the earth that cannot be stopped.

"My anointing and Glory cannot be stopped. My Word sent forth from My messengers cannot be stopped. For when one door seemingly closes, I will move and arrange My glory to come in another Way. For I AM the Waymaker.

"The Government IS upon My shoulders, and I have released my Elect into the earth to govern with a judicial, legislative, and executive anointing of rulership. I have released the power to bind (declare unlawful) on earth what is ALREADY BOUND IN HEAVEN!! And to loose on earth what is already LOOSED IN HEAVEN!!

"These are not just lofty words, but spiritual realities. They are a reality in the earth now, and the MOMENTUM of My anointing and glory shall continue, and the Leaven of righteousness Shall Increase," says the Lord.

"For all things work together for good, to them who are called by my name."

Prophetic Word from Heart of the Father International

He fam and friends and other brothers and sisters in Christ that stumble across this on the web. Please read this and have the Holy Spirit confirm this in you. Not anything other than the Spirit of God. Read these next paragraphs with an open heart and open mind. Be skeptical if you fall along the lines of a doubting Thomas. That's okay, because the LORD will let you feel his side. But read this...

My friends Dia and Mike Becchio sent me this and I think it's crucial to read this. As I read this I was not sure about it. However, sitting at my desk, I felt the Holy Spirit reveal truth to me, speak to me, and remind me of things that are happening in my own life that confirmed this prophesy in my own heart.

Heart of the Father International Ministries Newsletter"THE ORACLE" Volumn III

Dear [friends], We want to draw your attention to the International Gathering of Apostles and Prophets at Christian International (IGAP). Incredible decrees and revelations are coming forth. These words are very strategic and will build your faith, friends.We want as many as possible to hear this present truth.

It's vital the saints get these important "now" revelations.

The following prophetic word sent forth by Prophetess/Dr. Sharon Stone on Sunday (the 19th) is very powerful and timely. Because of the great shifting in economics, politics, etc. (which will affect each of us personally) it is important to have an accurate, prophetic perception. We believe IGAP is offering strategic prophetic and apostolic revelation for you and the Body of Christ.
(See the notes on her word below.)

The Apostolic decrees being released at IGAP will catapult the faith of the saints right now. These are "power releases;" we are coming into agreement with them for you and the body of Christ in the earth.

Last night's message by Bishop Bill Hamon discussed the Third and Final Reformation of the Church (which we are currently in). God is calling up the reformation and individual reformers. Change is in the atmosphere. God's reformation will affect us all personally, in every area of our lives. The seven mountains, or kingdoms of this world (business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family, and religion) will become the kingdoms of our God and His Christ.

An update for all of our friends: we plan to be in FL for the next few weeks.We will then be available for ministry.

You can order the IGAP messages by calling Christian International at 850-231-2660. Ask for Sarah. (Far more was released than the small portion included in Sharon's notes below.)
We highly encourage you to tune in to the International Gathering of Apostles and Prophets streaming live on the web daily and nightly this week during the conference:

"Prophet Sharon Stone
"Notes from: Sunday, Oct. 19, 2008
"We have not because we ask not. We pray everyday for CI so we are always getting a fresh word for here. For the last 10 days I have been ready to explode with the word the Lord has downloaded. I wasn't planning on coming to IGAP this year because of everything going on in Europe, but when I received this word I knew I had to come. This past summer I haven't gone many places. Greg kept asking me if I was going to take a meeting. That was not like me. I am usually not content to sit at home. So I know it was the Lord.

"My spirit was full of expectancy of what is about to take place. This is a day of decision just like Joshua in the valley of decision. The Lord is saying, "Are you with me or against me?"
"The horse of panic has been let out of the barn. Watch the news and keep your sword handy to cut off panic and fear. Doomsday prophets are busy. Whatever happens we must align ourselves with God to be a part of the greatest wealth transfer ever to take place. During economic downsides there are more millionaires made. God's people need to know Kingdom economy vs. the world's economy. We need to know what to take dominion over, engage in and invest in. We need to read the signs of the times with the Issachar anointing and position ourselves for the shift of wealth to take over the new supply lines. There is a war over wealth. The nations are warring over wealth. Lands move their boundaries, which is not about the land, as such, it is about the supply lines. This is the new level. We need to see those things. Then, what to do to watch over the money... Of All the Earth!

"The Bible says, "The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ." God is watching to see where true authority is, those willing to pay the price of headaches and heartaches from handling it. He is seeing if he can trust you when tested in this area. There is bankruptcy in the world but no bankruptcy in heaven. Our chapter 11 is in Hebrews (the faith chapter)! People are not hopeful in the world. "September Will Convince You that You Must Connect to His Economic System"

The following is a prophecy given by Dr. Sharon Stone in Glasgow, Scotland in the summer of 2008. The notations in RED are fulfillment of the word, but are not part of the word given.

"September is a Turning Point "September is a turning point and a sign of the times. It is all about those who have made Godly alignments in this season being blessed with revelation and information in the midst of world crisis. "I see more banks will suffer: a USA world bank's shares are in trouble (Lehman Brothers files bankruptcy, September 15, 2008). I see government in the USA bailing out mortgage giants (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - Federal takeover, September 7, 2008) and the government in England cutting house purchase taxes for the sagging housing crisis (Stamp Duty Tax change announced, September 2, 2008) to no avail. "I see a European airline failing with no notice (XL files bankruptcy, September 12, 2008).
"I see the eyes of the world looking to see, 'Who is this coming out of Alaska?' (Sarah Palin announced as McCain's running mate, August 29, 2008). And I see smoke coming from the Chunnel (Fire in the Chunnel, September 11, 2008).

"As I see these things, I hear the encouragement of God to His Isaacs in the earth who sow in the times of famine and reap 100 fold in the year. I'm not a prosperity preacher, I'm a prophet. And God is saying that September will convince you that you must connect to His economic system. There are always the few that are greatly blessed when the majority are shaken, threatened and fearful." God says, "Have you positioned yourself for THE NEW? Your storehouse is not an earthly bank. Hold on and I will bail you out of your mortgage issues. Am I not better to you than any government? I will not leave you stranded on foreign soil, and I will carry you above the circumstances better than any plane or jet. And your hope is not an Alaskan saviour, but Me." I know that sounds strange, it does to me also. "England, the smoke I saw coming out of the Chunnel is a warning for your intercessors to arise and cut off the enemy's plan to sabotage and siege England's favor in trade. Let him who has ears hear.... "God, I release an Isaac anointing upon us now!"

"On my birthday, Sept. 20th, I knew I had to go to church and release the word the Lord had downloaded before the papers came out: Sept. 21, 2008, at 9:00am: It has begun, the beginning of a new financial kingdom system and the end of the old economy. Those who have ears to hear there will be increase. A new global economy will exist and the banking crisis will continue for the next 3 yrs. In the long run (2009) tell my servants it will be for their benefit. He is looking for prophetic economists. There is no recession in heaven.

"You cannot afford to be separated from my prophets. They will speak change into the government. Elijah said there would be no rain for 3 1/2 years. This created a financial crisis. Wealth will be brought to the widow. I will sustain nations that will align with my economic plan. Revelation will come to my church. Resist fear on behalf of the nations. Elijah had already heard the abundance of rain. Run and operate in and from the new global economy. Old market trends will not work anymore. The economy cannot be fixed the same way when the market crashed in 1929. Endure the pain and receive the rain. Global economy will not operate the same way. Do not continue in credit card debt. Do not trust in the value of the U.S. dollar.

"I will assist you and give you strategies in this season. Sow sacrificially (like Isaac-Gen.26:12) in time of famine. Distribute, invest, buy with discernment in fertile, good ground, wisely, and cultivate a storehouse. The Prophetic Word is all about preparation. Dig ditches as the King of Israel did to fill them up. Start paying yourself (savings accounts=storehouses). Start cooperating with the Lord. When you dig ditches the wealth will come in unusual ways, unprecedented ways, but it will come. Take possession of the supply lines. Open up the gates of supply. (Declaration that the Gates would open up) Lord, release assets that you have already prepared for your people. Bring forth the short fall of financial institutions and get rid of toxic assets. Release the wealth that is stored up for your people. Man's bailout is soft! My bailout is strong and will under gird my people. When you see bread lines see this as a sign for the new strategy. Be equipped for every good work. Government is not the benefactor. We should be moved by compassion and give to the poor.

"Be led by the Spirit to challenge for dominion with strategies of increase. Pay who you serve. There will be new rules for hedge funds (no rules right now). Regulation in hard areas. New rules! Tough regulations across borders. Restrictions on credit rating companies. Limitation on CEO's. New restrictions on tax havens such as Monaco. When nations come together to discuss economics pray for the leaders to have discernment, strategies, truth, and lies to be exposed. Align those that will come into agreement with the new kingdom economy and cut off the ones who refused. Between Allies is the war of dominion. Overhaul of monetary funds. Surely they will consider the poor and fill their baskets. They will be liberal with information to unpack and operate with wisdom. Lord, release financial strategies and let us fill the atmosphere with praise. Release the war cry! (A shout!).

"Down with the bear and the bull market. Lord, teach us the Lion's Market. Release discernment and protect pensions and jobs and people's homes. Lord, I need you to be behind me and keep me hidden from any blindsides of the enemy. Give us a new level of discernment.

"[Pastor Jane released an impartation of a new level of spiritual discernment.]

"Declaration by Bishop Hamon-The 3rd Apostolic Restoration was birthed at CI this year. This means the shift has begun for the new Kingdom economy!! Apostle Jane said CI has been in the fire for the last 2 years. First one in the fire will be the first one out of the fire! Amen!"

Amos 7 - People of God Tremble

I don't want to be a stubborn mule in any area of my life or in anything that I am doing for the LORD. Of course whether I am at work or in my house, I do EVERYTHING for the LORD. So, Verses like these make me tremble and remember that while the LORD is loving and prefers mercy over punishment, He sometimes goes with punishment when His children just don't learn.

In Amos 7:7-8 the Word of God says this:

The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they (ISRAEL) have done.

8 "Will not the land tremble for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.

Then, a few verses later in verses 11-12, Amos writes the following:

11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD,
"when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

12 Men will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the LORD,
but they will not find it.

I DO NOT EVER WANT TO HAVE THE LORD RESTRAIN HIS WORD, HIS VOICE, FROM ME BECAUSE OF MY ACTIONS OF DISOBEDIENCE OR STRAYING. He has done that before for a time and while it was what I needed to come back to Him in full force, I don't ever want to experience that thirst in that way again. That desert that I crossed was NOT fun.

Also, this is a warning to the Church. The LORD always speaks to His Church, but He will restrain His Voice and Word when His people are not doing His Will. And this goes to the Church, local churches, and to individuals all alike. Because in every level people can be disobedient to the LORD and not be taking care of the LORD's purposes...

My prayer:

LORD make me a servant and follower of your will. I don't want to stray even just a little bit. I don't ever want to stagger from sea to sea searching for your Word. I want to have it hidden within my heart; engraved into my being to beat down my flesh into submission.

Thank you LORD that you remind us about the past to keep us with You in the present.
