Aug. 11, 2013–The Power of Expectation

August 11, 2013 By

imagesCAILF1FJSince they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. (Mark 2:4)

Why would these men dig a hole through a roof and lower their invalid friend through it to sit at the feet of Jesus?  I would suggest to you that they had an “expectation” that God would touch their friend through the life of Jesus.

One of the most powerful fuels to motorise the work of God in your life is “expectation.”  When you live in the place of expectation then you are saying: “I believe God and I believe what He says that He can do, He is going to do.”

Whenever I go to a place to minister, I expect God to move and I expect Him to move on a grand scale in the lives of those that come to the meeting.  I am never certain what He is going to do but I know that He is going to do something and everyone will know that it was God who did it when it occurs.

There are dozens of potential miracles in the making at any one moment.  I would not want to assume that I understand everything that might occur nor would I want to limit God to my own limited desires of the supernatural.  My expectation is that He will move and that He will do it in His own way.

If God wants to heal around me, then He can do it.  If He wants to heal a very broken heart, then He can do it.  If He wants to send thunder, lightning or winds into the meetings, then He can do it.  I am comfortable with gold dust, oils, blood signs, and aromas occurring in my meetings.  I live in the expectation that something will occur and because of this I have been seeing so many signs and wonders take place around me that I could not dare tell you how much I have seen.

Recently I was a part of a series of meetings in which I brought together many of my revivalist friends to see what God would do.  I knew that these friends carried certain kinds of anointing on their lives, particularly for healing, and I further knew that If I brought them together these things would occur in the meetings, and they did.

I have one friend that through time has been used by God to pull people out of wheelchairs.  He has a gift to bring healing to very difficult physical cases.  I expected God to use him this way, and God did.  One of the greatest miracles in those meetings occurred through his life.  For that I was very thankful.

Our expectation that God will operate is the fuel that ignites the supernatural.  Now I want to be careful in stating this because God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants whenever He wants.  God is not limited by my belief or unbelief, but those who believe see many more miracles than those who don’t believe and I would state that those who expect see more still.

I just want to be a reporter in the midst of what God is doing.  My expectation is to be in the place of revival or the atmosphere of His presence.  I long for it more than anything else in life.  I would do whatever God desires me to do to stay in that place and that is the truth and God knows it.

I would ask you this day, “What is your expectation?”  If the truth were told, do you expect God to do the miraculous?  If not, seek Him and ask Him to show you what He can do.  He can change “unbelief” to “belief” very quickly.  I have seen Him do that many times.

Aug. 10, 2013–Better Is Just Ahead

August 10, 2013 By

God-Has-Better(Guest blogger Lance Wallnau returns with an awesome post that is the DWOD for Aug. 10, 2013—be blessed, everybody!)

Ever consider that David was not God’s first choice for King? Saul was the first one chosen. Regardless of what people say about Saul, he was sent by God to Samuel as an answer to the prayer of God’s people.

YOU also are an answer to somebody’s prayer. David wasn’t the first choice – but he was the BEST choice.

If you are serving under someone else, “whatsoever you do, do it heartily as TO THE LORD, and not unto men.” (Col 3:22) Work as if you were working for Jesus because the Lord see’s your effort and “you shall receive the reward of your inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.”

David was a man after God’s heart and that is why he ended up in the role that Saul was originally given. He was a man after—in pursuit of—God’s heart. Your ROLE changes but your PURPOSE doesn’t.

If your passion is God’s presence and you stay focused on fulfilling your present assignment, you will discover that what you are doing now is actually preparing you for what your NEXT ROLE is going to be.

Esther was not the King’s first choice—she ended up replacing Queen Vashti.

You may feel like you are running LAST but the last are often FIRST before the story is over. The “first born” in the family were the ones with the Birthright and the Inheritance. However….

Isaac was second to Ishmael.

Jacob was second to Esau.

Joseph was 11th out of 12 and anything but the first choice of his brothers.

Moses was not the people’s choice for a deliverer—they drove him into a desert.

Jeremiah was not Israel’s first choice for a prophet, but he was God’s.

Peter and the rest of the disciples in Galilee were not the local Rabbi’s first choice. All young men went to Hebrew school, but by 13 were either encouraged to continue with the Rabbi and be further trained or were told to “go learn the trade of your father.”

When Jesus saw Peter, James, Andrew and John they were doing like the Rabbi said, working in their fathers fishing business.

NOW the CRAZIEST of all overlooks in history….Jesus of Nazareth was overlooked by the local Rabbi as a qualified recruit for the ministry.

Stay faithful to your present call, stay passionate about His presence and stay OPEN to the providential ways that God opens doors because YOU are an answer to someone’s prayer and your gifts are a solution to someone’s problem. Be an expert problem solver and you accelerate your positioning…it’s just a matter of time.

Remember, Disappointment Is God Saying “Better Is Just Ahead.“

Aug. 09, 2013–Trip and Obey

August 9, 2013 By

4536120007_hurt_toe_answer_1_xlarge“I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.  So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” (Psalm 81:11-12)

One of the not so enjoyable chores when you come home after being away for 10 days is to unpack everything you took and put each item in its rightful place.

We had to unpack one great big suitcase, which had both of our clothes in it. I promptly removed some of my apparel which formed the top layer, came to a couple of layers of Sulojana’s clothes and decided to stop until she returned them to their proper habitats.

Two days later, she reminded me that there was a bottom layer of my articles of clothing which still needed to be unpacked. I noticed it too, but being always in a hurry, chose not to do so right away. After all, they were not exactly hurting anyone, were they?

Picture this. Big, open red suitcase on the floor on the path from the bedroom door to the bed. It was sufficiently out of the way that you could step around it and still get to bed without any problem.

Yet another alert from the missus. “Isn’t it time to get those clothes out of there?” I nodded in agreement, but still did nothing about it.

You will be glad to know that finally on Thursday all the clothes were outta there in a hurry…but not until something happened late Wednesday night.

Sulojana was already in bed when I came in, turned off the light and almost immediately went: “Ouch!” (rough translation). Yes, you guessed it, the red suitcase had become invisible in the darkness and I stubbed my toes when I tripped over it.

That’s when I realized that this needless shot of pain could’ve been completely avoided had I simply heeded Sulojana’s first request and acted on her subsequent reminder.

Have you ever learned lessons the hard way too? I would suspect that most of us can come up with at least one illustration of how we failed to follow the counsel of a parent, teacher, mentor, pastor or elder and got into trouble as a result. Amen?

There is a limit to how often they can tell us to do something or refrain from something. After a while, they let us learn our own lessons, when we trip up!

Do you realize that God does the same as well? Because He has given us the gift of a free will, He allows us to make mistakes, face the consequences, realize the folly of our ways and then acknowledge that He was right all along!

In the words quoted at the beginning of this DWOD, God talks about how He let the people of Israel go their own way even though He had warned them about not worshipping other gods. He “gave them over to their stubborn hearts.”

They could’ve avoided the pain, but they chose to stub their toes first. In the process they tied up God’s hands from “quickly subduing their enemies.” (v. 14)

God’s Word also warns us that failing to act after repeated warnings could lead to disaster: “Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.” (Proverbs 29:1) Harsh words for hard hearts, eh?         

Dear DWOD friend, do you realize that you can accelerate the journey to your destiny if you choose to obey right off the bat? Of course, on the other hand, you could delay the journey by tripping yourself up along the way too 🙂 The choice is yours!

Aug. 08, 2013–Start Your Day Right

August 8, 2013 By

today-en-484x1024“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1)

Before we made the decision to rent the cottage at Huron City, Michigan last week, I was fully aware that there was no 24/7 internet access there. We would be able to go online through unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots at two different locations nearby, though.

Sulojana was not sure how I would cope with this, as she has reportedly spotted an IPhone growing out of my left hand. Apparently I have a reputation for being a quick draw when said device signalled the arrival of a text message or an e-mail or a Facebook message notification or a CBC news alert or a YouVersion reminder or…well, you get the idea!

Frankly, I was not sure, either, but I knew that I had to reduce the frequency with which I caught up with e-mails, Facebook updates and their ilk.

Amazingly enough, it did not bother me quite as much as I thought it would to wake up, reach for the IPhone and not be able to scan e-mails and other digital messages.

As a matter of fact, I was totally flabbergasted to discover that I had not missed out on much even when I waited till 10:30 or 11 a.m. to check these electronic notifications for the first time that day.

It was downright humbling to realize that the Kingdom of God was advancing very well, thank you, even when I didn’t check every Kingdom-related Facebook page first thing in the morning or read every anointed blog post that comes automatically into my inbox!

Instead, upon awakening, I would turn to the YouVersion app on my IPhone and read the Bible for a few minutes. I would write down any dreams that I still recalled from the previous night. I would stay still and allow the Father to love on me and whisper any revelations He had for me.

Most of our friends and family know that yours truly is not an early riser. Those who scrutinize time signatures on e-mails and Facebook posts have often rebuked me for staying up into the wee hours of the morning. For the most part, that’s when I get a lot of work done. I have justified it with Psalm 19:2: “…night unto night reveals knowledge.”

But the Lord was teaching me something about how to start the day right, by arranging for us to stay at this cottage without internet access. I began to see the value of beginning a day by feeding on His Word even before ingesting that first sip of caffeine.

This may sound like proof-texting, but it seemed as though I was obeying the command to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” every day now.

Many anointed men and women of God with whom I am acquainted such as my close pastor friends, Ric Borozny and Dayo Adeyemo and one with whom I am most familiar, my dear wife, Sulojana make a conscious choice to get up earlier than they need to every morning, simply so they can seek God’s face and devour His word.

It has been only three days now, but I have managed to resist the temptation to scan the notifications on my IPhone screen first thing in the morning as I have done for many years now. Praise God!

Perhaps it is no accident that David wrote these words in Psalm 63: “O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.”

How about you, dear DWOD friend? Do you start your day right? Please share your experiences with the rest of us in the box below.

Aug. 07, 2013–Do You Practise Idle Worship?

August 8, 2013 By

P1020937“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.

For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” (Exodus 20:8-11)

Sulojana and I were blessed to spend 7 days together in a cabin on the “thumb” of Michigan, close to Port Austin. It was the first time in nearly 25 years that we had taken the time to do nothing but rest on a holiday.

You may not be surprised to hear that simply unwinding was not easy. Coping with the deafening sound of silence was quite a task, but we did it. Other than a few excursions to the beach and a couple of trips to the neighbouring town on rainy days, we spent as much time as possible in the cabin—reading, writing, reflecting, soaking and sleeping.

It was quite an experience to simply rest and relax.

During this time, Holy Spirit reminded me of how much rest is valued by our heavenly Father. In the fourth commandment quote above, the people of Israel are told to “remember” the Sabbath.

God then reminds them what they need to remember. He takes them back to the very beginning and points out how He Himself rested for an entire day following the six days of Creation.

Was it because God was tired? Of course, not! He rested because He was setting a pattern for all of His Creation to follow.

Although, over the years, the “holy day” aspect of the Sabbath has turned it into a day of worship, the fact remains that the primary purpose of the Sabbath is for us to simply rest, to cease and desist from all labour.

Our bodies need down time to get us back up and motoring again. Our minds require rest to be renewed. And our spirits need a Sabbath to be refreshed by Holy Spirit.

That is the way God made us. That is how we are wired. It is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity.

Holy Spirit reminded me how easy it is for us to focus on observing the Sabbath by going to church and worshipping God and completely neglect the rest for which it was intended.

As a matter of fact, the word ‘holy’ simply means ‘set apart’. In other words, what makes the Sabbath holy is the fact that we choose to set it aside for God’s purposes, which begin with rest and end with worship.

You could call it “Idle Worship!”

Dear DWOD friend, as you advance toward your destiny, please make sure that you take the time to observe the Sabbath. Whatever you do, please do not neglect to rest as you must, as your Creator has commanded.

For when you do, you are following His pattern. And you will bring a smile to His face.

(For the record, I have decided to take Mondays off completely beginning Aug. 11. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.)

Aug. 06, 2013–Inheriting The Promises Now

August 6, 2013 By

1011405_10151512933066254_1808615092_nGrace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:2-4)

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us… (2 Corinthians 1:20)

I have had a number of friends lately write me to tell me that they are going through intense storms in their lives.  I understand the storms.  They come into all of our lives, but the way through those storms is not to focus on the dark clouds and thunder and lightning of the enemy, but on the promises of God for your life.

Recently I was preaching in Lacona, New York for my good friends Sonny and Melody Rudd.  They have a tent down on their property and have meetings throughout the summer months.  Just as I was about to get up and speak, a tornado-like wind came onto the property and the tent started to go up into the air.

For a moment I didn’t know what to do: should I stop preaching or should I preach through the storm?  People started to run all over the tent reinforcing the supports in case the tent collapsed.  One lady ran out into the field where the sun had just set and the rains and winds were crashing into the tent and began to pray in the Spirit for the storm to cease.

I stood in the middle of that tent just waiting when two friends of mine began to tell me that they thought I should preach through the storm, and so I did.

As I began to speak, my mind raced back to the promises of God for my own life.  I knew that this storm was not going to take me out because I knew that God had much in store for my life.  I began to focus on those promises in the face of the crazy winds, and as one of the main poles began to give way I knew I would not be hurt.  There were four salvations that evening.

And that is the way we must be in the face of the dark clouds that rise upon us.  We must be bold and hold onto the truth that God has spoken. When the enemy comes with lies and depression and anxiety, we must speak in the face of these things and command them to cease.

Just last night I was driving to pick up a friend for supper.  On the way a rainbow appeared in the sky and was bursting through a dark cloud.  Just above the rainbow an opening appeared in the dark clouds and you could see fluffy white clouds and blue sky behind them.

I began to hear God say that we are entering a season of the heavens being opened and the promises of God being poured out.  I believe that you also are entering that season and that you should not give up when the darkness comes because God is about to break out over your life.

Just last night my mother had a vision and saw an angel move into her house and all of a sudden people started arriving with many precious gifts for her.  I believe that God is saying that He is releasing the angelic hosts on your behalf and that prosperity in every form is about to pour out over all of our lives.

The world around us might be in for some dark days, but Christ is rising over the lives of true believers.  Many will see the light through our lives in this season because God’s blessing will be very pronounced.  May God bless you all.

Aug. 05, 2013–The Three Storms

August 5, 2013 By

storm(Be blessed by this post by guest blogger Lance Wallnau)

There are 3 storms you will encounter–The storm God sends, the storm that bad decisions create and the storm the enemy sends!

Each one is navigated differently.

The storm GOD SENDS is intense but designed to get you to the other side larger and more liberated than you ever would have been had you avoided the sea and played it safe. God sent a storm to chase Jonah out of resistance and into the perfect will of God in Nineveh, the very place he was avoiding. (Jonah 1:4) (and the fish spat him up–on location).

From the belly of the great fish Jonah cried: “those who regard worthless IDOLS forsake their own mercy.” An idol is something keeping you from God’s greater thing–His mercy. His undeserved blessing. An idol is anything you love more than God.

Many a storm is sent to break a hidden attachment from your life. It may be the fear of man, an addiction or a person or influence that does not belong there. The idol is almost always seeking something more than what pleases the Lord. Jonah made his own agenda greater than God’s. He was delivered when he yielded, and the entire time he was in distress, the fish was taking him to his destiny.

The storm of BAD DECISIONS may be choices you made or others made that affected you. Paul was nearly drowned in a decision made by others to sail when they should have stayed in harbour. Many Christians are downright frustrated with the choices of leaders in Government because they know the end result will be loss of cargo (economic) and the very ship of state (shipwreck.) Paul however prayed and fasted till an angel got involved and the ship was rerouted to an island where Paul took over…and made it safe to Rome. Adding new territory that wasn’t even in the original plan. (Acts 27:9)

God will overrule bad decisions to bring forth wisdom and get you where you need to be. Look at how Solomon the wisdom child of David came forth out of the disastrous decision David made to sleep with Bathsheba.

The storm you create becomes a storm God is in once you let Him take over the ship.

The storm the devil sends is an ATTACK that is designed to stop you, overthrow you and destroy God’s purpose for your life. When Jesus was with the disciples a great storm arose that threatened their lives. As experienced fishermen this was a type of storm they had never encountered before. Jesus arose and REBUKED the manifestation in the wind and the sea and there was an immediate calm. (Mt 8:26) Disease, financial attack, theft, violence are all works of hell.

Jesus challenged his disciples “Where is your FAITH?” The thought of their ship sinking while Christ was on board provoked Him to challenge what they were focusing on. He told them “Let’s go to the other side.” His Word was sufficient to give them leverage over the devil.

Find the Word God is giving you in your satanic assault and speak to the situation as Jesus talked to the wind and the waves. He talked to things, to trees that did not produce and to spirits invisible to the human eye. Thoughts are “things” when they take on the power of fear. Speak what God says and watch heaven back up your utterance.

GOD IS ON BOARD IN EVERY STORM and each one will BE MADE TO fulfill God’s Word over your life! “Fire, and hail; snow, and vapor; stormy wind fulfilling his word“ (Ps 148:8). The Holy Spirit knows the way through every storm–and He is on the inside of you. Hence God CAN NEVER LEAVE you nor forsake you to the stormy elements.

All 3 storms are common to man, but you, my friend, are an uncommon vessel. What you come through becomes a testimony to others. You are a storm-riding child of the Most High God.

Aug. 04, 2013–The Eyes of the Lord

August 4, 2013 By

eye of GodBehold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine… (Psalm 33:18-19)

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. (1 Peter 3:12)

About a week ago I saw in a vision the eye of God.  It was an ancient eye filled with great wisdom.  His eye stayed on me as I looked at it.  It was like I could not escape it.  It was intimidating, fascinating and wonderful at the same time.

I never thought deeply about it except that I knew that I had a truly beautiful vision.  When I started to tell others about what I saw, they relayed the above two verses to me.  That is when the wheels within my head began to turn.

I had been sowing a lot of money into my ministry work and I had a sense that I was about to go into a famine in the natural.  Now I have sown a lot in the past and know what it is like to have breakthrough afterward, but I guess I was a little wary of what could happen next.

I never saw Psalm 33 quite that way before.  The Lord keeps our soul from death and keeps us alive in famine.  I know now everything will be fine because the eye of God is on me.

And then I got excited when I saw 1 Peter 3:12 because I felt the vision also meant that He was going to hear my prayers and my prayers are generally for God’s people to be revived.  I felt He was going to revive His church and that everywhere I go this will happen.

When you know that God is with you in all that you do great boldness begins to take over your life.  When God shows Himself to you and says He is with you, then you begin to act and pray differently.

What we need in this hour are people with faith who understand that the eye of God is on them.  We need people to get a revelation that God is going to fight their battles and that when they stretch themselves to accomplish great things for God then he is going to act on their behalf.

God is looking to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to Him.  Are you loyal to God?  If you are, then He will make Himself strong in your life.

The strength of the Lord in your life is a powerful testimony.  The strength of the Lord allows me to say that God is on my side.  I often tell people to look at my life and what He has done for me.  Can people see the hand of God on your life?  They see the prosperity in me and my children, they see the good health, joy and strength inside of you.

Do you trust God?  Do you know God?  It is not a judgement if you don’t.  I am asking you this so that you will seek His face because as you seek His face He will reveal Himself to you.

You will become what you meditate upon.  Are you focusing on all that is negative in your life or are you focusing on God?  When your worship is to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords then great joy and peace will enter into your life no matter what storm comes your way.

Turn to the Lord today and confess your weakness.  He will make himself strong in your weakness.

Aug. 03, 2013–To Receive or To Complain

August 3, 2013 By

stop_complaining1_2858487In essence there are two ways that we can interact with God.  We can receive from him or complain against Him.  The Lord has been speaking this strongly in my spirit over the past two months.  He wants to remind us that in order to please Him, we must receive from Him.

All of us have times when we complain to God, but we must continually remind ourselves that the Creator of the universe has our entire lives in His hands.

It always amazes me how God has the answers to all my problems.  When I address my prayers to Him, He opens up a way where there seems to be no way.

The Israelites complained in the desert and this displeased God and they did not enter into His rest as a result.  God wanted so much for them to enter into the Promised Land which He was offering freely, but their murmuring in the desert kept them from it.

Many of us have had tremendous promises that God has spoken into our lives.  Many do not realize that God intends to help us inherit them.

We have only to remain in faith to inherit them.  When we complain and murmur, we live outside of faith and this can be dangerous.  We can end up going around the same mountain over and over again as a result.

Two people can live side by side and hear the same things from the Lord. One of them enters into the promises of God and the other one simply watches the other inherit them.  God spoke into both their lives and told them what He wanted from them.

One believed and inherited the promise. The other did nothing and ended up with nothing. Esau did not understand what God wanted to give to Him, but Jacob did and thus he became father over Israel.

One person receives the promise from the Lord, while the other complains and receives nothing.

I have had people proudly say that they are not people of faith and therefore settle for less than nothing.  As a result they live unfulfilled lives complaining about it to God and wondering why others have passed them by.

God is not pleased when we stop believing His promises.  There were some virgins who were prepared for the bridegroom when he came and some that were not.  The ones that were not prepared were not excused when the time came to enter into the feast.

Which virgin are you–the one who prepares by filling up the lamp with oil or the one who is lazy and does nothing?

The time will come when you will be held accountable.  Did you receive from God or did you complain?  He knows all things.

As you advance toward your destiny, it is my prayer that you will choose to receive and to refrain from complaining. You will be blessed beyond belief!

Aug. 02, 2013–Uncommon Boldness Rising

August 2, 2013 By

Darren close-upI believe that we are in an hour of the rising of the supernatural graces of God over His people.

Just last night I had a vision.  I saw a minister that I know walk into a hospital and begin to pray for the sick in such a way that many were healed.  The gospel was being heard all over the hospital.  I was on the fifth floor and this man of God was ministering in the emergency ward.  You could hear his voice all through the hospital.

I went down to where he was preaching and over 100 people were touched by the power of God.  Some received his word as if it was from heaven, while others considered him a curiosity and something to be ignored.

We are in the hour of the rising of boldness.  The rains are falling from heaven in a most awesome way.  Last year we experienced drought.  The earth cried out for rain.  This year the rains have come and drenched the earth.  In Canada we are seeing major floods within our cities.  When we cry out for rain, the Spirit of God eventually waters His people.

God is coming to touch His people and those that believe and are bold are going to be a part of a mighty move of the Holy Spirit.  This move will not be limited to the Church.

The coming move will take place in the streets.  It will be just as common for people to be forming prayer lines in public spaces like stores and gas stations as they do in churches during revival meetings.

God is able to make all grace abound to you.  He has been shouting this to me for weeks.  We must step into the place of His spirit and let Him bring the renewal that we need to become vessels of His glory.

Two night ago I saw the Promised Land.  As I approached this new land in the spirit the powers of darkness tried to stop me, but I made it in.  When I saw the trees and the hills of that land I can truly say that this land was like no land I have ever seen before.  It was flowing with milk and honey.

We must battle in the spirit and march around our Jericho towns in order to enter into the promises of God.  We will not labour in vain.

A few nights ago I heard Michael Krysty speak and he said that wherever we put our feet to in this hour God is going to take the land.

And then I began to pray and ask God to expand my imagination so that I can see the land that He wants me to take.  Open up my eyes to see the harvest God and show me the methodologies to march forth with the army of God.

Don’t give up hope now.  We are entering the greatest harvest this world has ever known.  Get ready, people of God.  You have been labouring in the fields but now your time has come.
