Ezekiel Chapter 36 Verses 1-38 A Powerful Message!!!! Read ON…………..

1 “Son of man, prophesy to Israel’s mountains. Give them this message: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD! 2 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Your enemies have taunted you, saying, ‘Aha! Now the ancient heights belong to us!’ 3 Therefore, son of man, give the mountains of Israel this message from the Sovereign LORD: Your enemies have attacked you from all directions, and now you are possessed by many nations. You are the object of much mocking and slander.

4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. He speaks to the hills and mountains, ravines and valleys, and to ruined wastes and long-deserted cities that have been destroyed and mocked by foreign nations everywhere. 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My jealous anger is on fire against these nations, especially Edom, because they have shown utter contempt for me by gleefully taking my land for themselves as plunder.

6 “Therefore, prophesy to the hills and mountains, the ravines and valleys of Israel. Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I am full of fury because you have suffered shame before the surrounding nations. 7 Therefore, says the Sovereign LORD, I have raised my hand and sworn an oath that those nations will soon have their turn at suffering shame. 8 But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit to prepare for my people’s return – and they will be coming home again soon! 9 See, I am concerned for you, and I will come to help you. Your ground will be tilled and your crops planted.

10 I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people. 11 Not only the people, but your flocks and herds will also greatly multiply. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 12 I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be their inheritance. You will never again devour their children.

13 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Now the other nations taunt you, saying, ‘Israel is a land that devours her own people!’ 14 But you will never again devour your people or bereave your nation, says the Sovereign LORD. 15 I will not allow those foreign nations to sneer at you, and you will no longer be shamed by them or cause your nation to fall, says the Sovereign LORD.”

16 Then this further message came to me from the LORD: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their evil deeds. To me their conduct was as filthy as a bloody rag. 18 They polluted the land with murder and by worshiping idols, so I poured out my fury on them. 19 I scattered them to many lands to punish them for the evil way they had lived.

20 But when they were scattered among the nations, they brought dishonor to my holy name. For the nations said, ‘These are the people of the LORD, and he couldn’t keep them safe in his own land!’ 21 Then I was concerned for my holy name, which had been dishonored by my people throughout the world. 22 “Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign LORD: I am bringing you back again but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, which you dishonored while you were scattered among the nations.

23 I will show how holy my great name is – the name you dishonored among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes, says the Sovereign LORD, then the nations will know that I am the LORD. 24 For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.

25 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. 26 And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command.

28 “And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will cleanse you of your filthy behavior. I will give you good crops, and I will abolish famine in the land. 30 I will give you great harvests from your fruit trees and fields, and never again will the surrounding nations be able to scoff at your land for its famines. 31 Then you will remember your past sins and hate yourselves for all the evil things you did.

32 But remember, says the Sovereign LORD, I am not doing this because you deserve it. O my people of Israel, you should be utterly ashamed of all you have done! 33 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will bring people to live in your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt. 34 The fields that used to lie empty and desolate – a shock to all who passed by – will again be farmed. 35 And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This godforsaken land is now like Eden’s garden! The ruined cities now have strong walls, and they are filled with people!’

36 Then the nations all around – all those still left – will know that I, the LORD, rebuilt the ruins and planted lush crops in the wilderness. For I, the LORD, have promised this, and I will do it. 37 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am ready to hear Israel’s prayers for these blessings, and I am ready to grant them their requests. 38 I will multiply them like the sacred flocks that fill Jerusalem’s streets at the time of her festivals. The ruined cities will be crowded with people once more, and everyone will know that I am the LORD.”

Be Blessed!

1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 14 V 1-25 THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT-SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF TONGUES AND PROPHECY

HERE IN THE BIBLE THESE GIFTS ARE EXPLAINED AS GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT…THEY ARE GIVEN TO US..THEY ARE GIVEN TO STRENGTHEN ENCOURAGE AND COMFORT….LET’S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THESE WONDERFUL GIFTS!

1 Let love be your highest goal, but also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives, especially the gift of prophecy. 2 For if your gift is the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking to God but not to people, since they won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious.

3 But one who prophesies is helping others grow in the Lord, encouraging and comforting them. 4 A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally in the Lord, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

5 I wish you all had the gift of speaking in tongues, but even more I wish you were all able to prophesy. For prophecy is a greater and more useful gift than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church can get some good out of it.

6 Dear brothers and sisters, if I should come to you talking in an unknown language, how would that help you? But if I bring you some revelation or some special knowledge or some prophecy or some teaching – that is what will help you. 7 Even musical instruments like the flute or the harp, though they are lifeless, are examples of the need for speaking in plain language. For no one will recognize the melody unless the notes are played clearly.

8 And if the bugler doesn’t sound a clear call, how will the soldiers know they are being called to battle? 9 And it’s the same for you. If you talk to people in a language they don’t understand, how will they know what you mean? You might as well be talking to an empty room. 10 There are so many different languages in the world, and all are excellent for those who understand them,

11 but to me they mean nothing. I will not understand people who speak those languages, and they will not understand me. 12 Since you are so eager to have spiritual gifts, ask God for those that will be of real help to the whole church. 13 So anyone who has the gift of speaking in tongues should pray also for the gift of interpretation in order to tell people plainly what has been said. 14 For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t understand what I am saying.

15 Well then, what shall I do? I will do both. I will pray in the spirit, and I will pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will sing in words I understand. 16 For if you praise God only in the spirit, how can those who don’t understand you praise God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don’t understand what you are saying?

17 You will be giving thanks very nicely, no doubt, but it doesn’t help the other people present. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in a church meeting I would much rather speak five understandable words that will help others than ten thousand words in an unknown language. 20 Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature and wise in understanding matters of this kind.

21 It is written in the Scriptures, “I will speak to my own people through unknown languages and through the lips of foreigners. But even then, they will not listen to me,” says the Lord. 22 So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers.

23 Even so, if unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting and hear everyone talking in an unknown language, they will think you are crazy. 24 But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin, and they will be condemned by what you say. 25 As they listen, their secret thoughts will be laid bare, and they will fall down on their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is really here among you.”

Be Blessed!

Let’s Talk About DRY BONES! EZEKIEL CHAPTER 37 VERSES 1-28

In Today’s blog I want to share with you a power-packed revelation that is fire being poured out into our lives….a revelation that should if your not already set you on fire! It is time for God’s people to step out of their comfort zones…their bubbles of safety…We have to stand up and be a people who will not only stand in the gap but take The Authority that has been imparted to us by Our Father and be MOUNTAIN MOVERS!!!

We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves for the positions we are in and take responseabilty for our actions….We need to Repent. Renounce. Recieve. WE need to be filled with FIRE! So that when we face evil…..instead of them coming after us….We go after them!!! And trust me when they see fire! They are going to run from us becasue they will see the WRATH OF GOD IN AND ON US!

In the book of Ezekel Chapter 37 it states:

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me around among the old, dry bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”"O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

4 Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

7 So I spoke these words, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as they had been before. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak to the winds and say: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so that they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke as he commanded me, and the wind entered the bodies, and they began to breathe. They all came to life and stood up on their feet – a great army of them.

11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones – all hope is gone. 12 Now give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD. You will see that I have done everything just as I promised. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

15 Again a message came to me from the LORD: 16 “Son of man, take a stick and carve on it these words: ‘This stick represents Judah and its allied tribes. Then take another stick and carve these words on it: The stick represents the northern tribes of Israel. 17 Now hold them together in your hand as one stick. 18 When your people ask you what your actions mean, 19 say to them, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the northern tribes and join them to Judah. I will make them one stick in my hand.

20 Then hold out the sticks you have inscribed, so the people can see them. 21 And give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. 22 I will unify them into one nation in the land. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations.

23 They will stop polluting themselves with their detestable idols and other sins, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. 24 “My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and keep my laws.

25 They will live in the land of Israel where their ancestors lived, the land I gave my servant Jacob. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever.

26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and multiply them, and I will put my Temple among them forever. 27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 And since my Temple will remain among them forever, the nations will know that I, the LORD, have set Israel apart for myself to be holy.”

I really felt the Lord Direct me to Bold Certain Wording….This is a direct Word ….So I thought I would just put them together as let’ see how it reads…

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 4 Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again! 7 So I spoke these words, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak to the winds and say: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so that they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke as he commanded me, and the wind entered the bodies, and they began to breathe. They all came to life and stood up on their feet – a great army of them. ‘We have become old, dry bones – all hope is gone. I will cause you to rise again. When this happens, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live Then you will know that I am the LORD. You will see that I have done everything just as I promised. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

I will gather people from among the nations. 22 I will unify them One king will rule them all; 23 They will stop polluting themselves with their detestable idols and other sins, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. They will obey. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. 26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. 27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Oh my gosh!!! That is powerful…I was just bolding what I thought the Lord was directing me to bold….and then when we put the words together WOW! Can you see the Lord speaking to you?? This is so powerful and Thank the Lord Jesus for the powerful Word given to us!

Let’s rise up and give ourselves to the Lord completely and fill us with Fire so we can reach into the heart of darkness…and pull others to freedom by the awsome power of GOD!

Be Blessed!

PROPHECY: A WORD FROM THE LORD FROM ANDREA

THESE WORDS WERE GIVEN TO ANDREA. SHE WALKS A VERY CLOSE WALK WITH THE LORD. I VERY MUCH ENJOY TALKING WITH HER…..SHE IS SO ON FIRE FOR THE LORD, SHE BREATHES FIRE INTO ME EVERY TIME WE TALK! SHE IS AN INSPIRATION AS SHE CONTINUES TO ENCOURAGE ME TO SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART.

I AM SO GRATEFUL OF HER PRAYERS AND HER ABILITY TO COMFORT THOSE AROUND HER. SHE TRULY IS A TREASURED GIFT FROM ABOVE. THESE ARE SOME WORDS SHE RECIEVED FROM THE LORD

“I speak. My Voice thunders. Yes, heaven and earth shake at the sound of My Voice. But you, be not moved. Stand. Stand firm. Stand still and see My glory.
Is there anything too hard for me? Trust. Trust and obey. You will see My glory. You will see My goodness. I have spoken it. I will perform it. It shall come to pass.
Who can overthrow My throne? Who can disannul My Word? Be at peace and rest. Enter faith’s rest. You have done your part – now trust Me to perform My Word. It is eternal.
It cannot lie. It cannot fail.
It cannot return void.”

“Communion is not just an act – it is a state of being. When I said I stand at the door and knock, if any man open I will come in and sup with him, I was not speaking of merely having a meal with him, but becoming a meal for him. You feast on Me daily – I have become your very sustenance – your food, your drink. In doing so, you have become a meal for Me; a meal, a resting place – My sanctuary.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I had read that the life of a Christian is nothing less than holy desire. The Lord spoke to me “I say, the life of a good Christian is nothing more than holy desire.”
What He was saying is that our life is defined by nothing else than the degree of our holy desire for Him.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
#3
The Word says that the end times will be as in the days of Noah:
The Lord spoke:
“Noah was a righteous man, a faithful man, a holy man. Noah’s heart was mine. If this were your day, could I trust and choose you as I did Noah?
Come into the ark of my cross with your loved ones. Stay there – abide there – not for 40 days, but forever. Forever I say, the cross will be enough – for protection, for safety, for deliverance, for healing, for all you and your loved ones need.
Live I say in the shadow of the cross.
Live at the cross
Live by the cross
Live for the cross
Enbrace the cross. Embrace the lifestyle that the cross demands. Die, that you might live. Die, that others might live.
Live, I say at the cross daily. Start and end your day at the cross. Live throughout the day at the cross.
The crucified life is the only way to the resurrected life. It was for Me; it is for you; so it is for your loved ones.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“For the joy that was set before Me I endured the cross, despising the shame. It was joy that kept Noah through all the persecution and shame. It was the joy of knowing Me and fellowshipping with Me that kept Noah. So, too, knowing and fellowshipping with Me shall keep you in these end days through all.”

A WORD FROM THE LORD….PROPHECY….I RECEIVED THIS GLORY BE TO GOD!

I was emailing a friend this morning when I got these words from the Lord. I wanted to share with all of you that spending time with the Lord is just what He wants! It brings Him great joy! I hope this blesses you as much as it did me.

“I DID NOT PULL YOU OUT OF THE FIRE SO YOUR TESTIMONY COULD BE HIDDEN” “I PULLED YOU OUT OF THE FIRE SO THAT OTHERS COULD SEE MY GLORY!” “DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME.” “SATAN WILL TRY TO HINDER YOU DO NOT BE DECEIVED” “WHEN MY HAND MOVES KNOW ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP IT BUT THEY WILL TRY TO HINDER IT.” “YET THEIR BEST EFFORTS WILL FAIL AGAINST ME.” “WHEN YOU HEAR MY VOICE, LISTEN TO ME, DO NOT RELY ON YOUR FEELINGS OR YOU WILL FALL PREY TO THE EVIL ONE.”

I HAVE PLANS FOR YOU. BUT YOU MUST OBEY ME. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, OR FORSAKE YOU. YOU ARE MY BELOVED. MY DAUGHTER. SO MANY OF MY CHILDREN ARE IN TORMENT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO. FOR THEY HAVE TAKEN THEIR EYES OFF ME AND ALLOW THE ENEMY TO BURDEN THEIR SOULS. I AM GRIEVED DEEPLY. I AM FAITHFUL TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS. MY WORD WILL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID. WHEN I SEND IT OUT I SEND IT FOR PURPOSE NOT FOR SHOW.

DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU NOT SEE THE MIRACLES I HAVE DONE? I WILL PROTECT MY PEOPLE. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR EYES FIXED ON ME. ON WHO I AM! I LOVE YOU WITH A PERFECT LOVE. OH HOW I LONG FOR MY CHILDREN TO REACH FOR MY HEART FOR IF THEY ONLY KNEW MY LOVE FOR THEM THEY WOULD RUN TO ME INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM ME. I AM SADDENED FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE EVEN MY OWN PEOPLE HAVE OF ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO SEARCH FOR ME WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART.

IT BRINGS ME GREAT JOY TO SEE JUST ONE PERSON GIVE THEIR HEART TO ME. HEAVEN REJOICES WITH SINGING. BELLS RINGING. SAINTS DANCING. DO YOU SEE NOW MY GREAT LOVE? PLEASE COME VISIT ME…..SPEND TIME WITH ME…..IT BRINGS ME GREAT JOY!
