Organized religion, religious spirits

By -



Christ, being a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek, who learned obedience by the things He suffered, is speaking to us. Mature, suffering saints, have to overcome much. Face it, accept it, that you are given trials to mold you into Christ's likeness. Being an overcomer, you must overcome. How you respond will determine your growth rate.

Whining and staying in an attitude of immaturity, self-pity, or perpetual crisis hopping, always going from one drama to the next, even becomg addicted to crisis thinking, gives the devil the victory time and again. We must accept that this life is training ground for ruling and reigning. How do we grow and not be in battle? This life is a life of overcoming and persevering through trying times. Each trial is an opportunity to grow in maturity, faith, and all that the Word gives us wisdom in to become victorious overcomers.

We need to be fed as warriors to be a warrior. If we are taught to remain like a baby, always giving over our duties to pastors and prophets and leaders, when trouble comes we just cry like a baby, except the devil has no mercy. How many die before fulfilling their destiny?

Hebrews 5:13 says, "for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled int he word of righteousness. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."

We all grow in grace. The Bible does convict those who fail to grow. As Christ must increase, we must decrease. Is Jesus increasing in your life? We can not be healthy on a "milk diet" for very long. Woe to those who are nursing babes in the day of peril. This can be interpreted as saying leaders will be responsible for those who are still on milk year after year. Pray for leaders to feed their sheep, milk when believers are young, and meat, as fitting of disciples of Christ.

Perfection means maturity. We are not created to be a "baby" or stay a baby. We are to be sons and daughters of the Most High God. Organized religion is the biggest cause of telling people what to think, what to do, how to dress, what to say. Our destiny is not to be a clone nor an echo of the local pastor!

Jesus paid the price for you to be y

Chuck Pierce Shares A Powerful Word from Penny Jackson

By -
  Before the service on Sunday, the Spirit of God met with Penny Jackson. As He began to visit with her, she began to write what the Lord was saying. Reading through this incredible word, I saw it like an encounter experienced by the prophet Daniel. I divided the word into the way Daniel prayed: morning, noon, and night. I want to encourage you to read this word in three sections: Part 1 (morning), Part 2 (noon), and Part 3 (evening/night). Part 1: Morning “A timing is coming. A timing is approaching. It’s not long now. You feel it hovering. Be on alert. This will take your complete focus. I will speak in many ways. I will reveal in many ways. Before you do a thing, ask if I want you to be there…emotionally, spiritually, literally. I told you a long time ago that there would be a time when it would be dangerous to be where you were not to be. This is it. I told you that you would be able to hear My voice clearly for instructions. This is it. Don’t dare to do a thing unless I ...

Focused On The Master Weaving This Beautiful Tapestry  ‘Take heart, fear not, even rejoice!’ Happy New Year!  “For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is Mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the Lord of Hosts.” Hag. 2:6-8   We have not come this way before.Joshua 3:4 ‘ Since you have never traveled this way before…’ We are clearly in a new place and new season.As we surrender and yield to the seven spirits of God and stay in His presence there is safety in the strong tower (Psalm 91.)   As we behold His presence in awe and wonder, his peace carries and leads us into this new exciting time in uncharted territory.Why? For we are covenant children of the most high. As God’s people walk in faith, courage, and authentic relationships in the ne...

Have I Really Forgiven?

By -

Forgiveness is a widely discussed topic, yet after years of studying the Word, searching scripture on forgiveness, meditating on examples in the Bible, reading countless books, and listening to numerous sermons, I realized that I hadn’t truly forgiven or released many people from my heart. That’s why I felt compelled to write this article—to share my journey and insights on what genuine forgiveness looks like. In my mind, I thought I had, but the Holy Spirit showed me there was so much more. As I yielded to the Holy Spirit and asked Him to reveal those I still needed to forgive, He showed me specific events where I had held onto unforgiveness, hurt, pain, offense, or fear. Often, I needed to forgive myself. When we ask God for forgiveness, He does it without hesitation, yet we frequently struggle to release ourselves from guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. It’s almost like we tell ourselves we need to suffer for what we did, but Jesus took all condemnation on the cross, so we d...
