This is a time for refreshing and resting...
God is teaching many to really rest in Him these days. Many are in transition, feeling confused, or left out. Many are wondering what it all means to be working and working, not having things go the way we want them to go. God has a better way, always. His peace is what overcomes the enemy. He gives us that peace, if we want it. Paul said in Philippians, that he had learned in whatever state he was in to abound, whether in lack, or in abundance. God's abounding peace overshadows our circumstances, making them really, temporary light afflictions.We are being groomed, prepped, ground down, like a finely honed piece of silver, to be His instrument, His tool for transformation. He is helping us to see the way He sees, if we but rest, quiet the mind, meditate on His characteristics, His purposes.This day can be a day of rest, by re-focusing our attention, on those things eternal, invisible, and real. Phil 4:11-13

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...
