Peace Be Still

He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

Mark 4:39

Many years ago, as a young mother, I was going about my home making beds and getting ready for my day. My heart was broken and I'd not been able to stop the tears from flowing, for a few days. That morning, I stopped in the hallway, of that small country home, with laundry in my arms, and said, "Lord, when You were in the boat with the boys and the storm was ready to destroy you all, You spoke to the wind and the waves, and caused it to be still. I'm asking You to do the same for the storm in my heart." 

No more had the request left my lips than He did as I asked. I was humbled, thankful and what else could I do but offer Him PRAISE and thanksgiving.

Is there a storm raging in YOUR life? Ask God to still the storm in your heart, and watch what He does.. Just don't forget to THANK HIM.

He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

Psalm 107:29

I WENT TO HELL AND WAS STUNNED BY WHAT I SAW

Several months ago while I was extensively studying Matthew 7:22-24 and asking God for increased revelation, I had one of the most disturbing prophetic dreams of my life. The Scripture I was studying in Matthew says, “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name did we not cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.”

In the prophetic dream, I was taken to hell where I saw all these ministers and individuals who had performed miracles, cast out demons, and prophesied. What I was shown next, I will never forget. The Holy Spirit showed me long lines of people behind all of these ministers and individuals. He immediately revealed to me that these were all the people that had received the miracles, prophecies, and had been at one time delivered. As I gazed at the people in these lines, He said to me, "Did they not RECEIVE miracles, prophecy, and deliverance, yet I never knew them?”

I woke up from the dream alarmed and startled. I said to the Holy Spirit, "So there are not only people that will perform signs, wonders, and miracles that will be sent to hell, but also people who receive all these things that will also be in hell. Why?" Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke again to me and said, "Because those that worked miracles, prophesied, and cast out demons never preached the full gospel of Jesus Christ which is the message of repentance. They were so in love with the gifts that I had given them that people became trophies and souvenirs to them. When My power would manifest in their ministries, they would tell people that I loved them, but never that they needed to repent for their sins. I tell you that a great deception will sweep over the signs and wonders movement in the earth. Beware of the ministries where miracles and prophecies will flow, but the message of repentance is a no go. You have been warned". Then I woke up.

Will you pray with me today that ministers and individuals who move in God’s power will not only live a lifestyle of repentance but also preach it? What if people getting healed, delivered, and prophesied to, and told God loves them isn’t the full gospel message? What if repentance and holiness is the full gospel message too?

PROPHETIC DREAM: THE MESSENGER OF SATAN HAS COME TO THE UNITED STATES

On July 1, 2017, I had and released a prophetic dream where I saw a gigantic messenger of Satan coming into the United States from the East Coast. I called out to it from the walls of a large fortified city and said, “I am a watchman over this land and I command you to tell me by what authority do you enter this nation?” It said, “I come here by the permission of the Church who has granted me access to come plunder and devour right in the midst of them.”

The principality had the wings of an angel, but the tail of a dragon and it looked hideous! There was great darkness upon it, yet it had the outward appearance of unusual light. In its hands it carried a large black book with the words written on it, “The gospel of accommodation”.

The Spirit began to show me massive deception is sweeping the Church and it is fast asleep. There is a very real war in the spirit realm over the true gospel, the gospel of self-denial, and this false gospel, the gospel of accommodation that is seeking to overtake the American Church. The gospel of accommodation encourages American Christians to fit Jesus into their life, rather than making Him their life. This false gospel requires no sacrifice, no commitment, and no death to self. It is dangerous, deceptive, and we are going to witness God beginning to highlight preachers and churches who preach this false gospel of accommodation. 

The Messenger of Satan (Gulf of Mexico)

Again on Sept 1, 2017, (exactly 2 months from the last dream) I had another prophetic dream where I saw this same messenger of Satan appear in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of carrying a book, he was now carrying a large boat paddle and began to stir the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and his paddle reached as far as the Caribbean. I began to hear the earth literally groan. The water was crying out. That's the only way I know how to explain it. As this principality began to stir the waters, several demonic spirits manifested and revealed themselves to me. They specifically were: Hatred, Fear, Violence, and Depression. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Jeremiah, you must know that the spiritual storms that are manifesting in the earth are far greater than any physical storm that has touched the earth. Physical storms are limited to a region of people. These spiritual storms that are coming will have the power to affect every area of culture. The physical hurricanes that have come and coming are devastating, but the spiritual ones are greater. The physical hurricanes that will manifest in this season will only further serve to reveal and open up the eyes and ears of the Church to the spiritual storms of hatred, fear, violence, and depression that are upon them."

The Paul Revere Anointing

As the Spirit spoke this to me and I watched this messenger of Satan stir the waters in the Gulf of Mexico and even the Caribbean, as these demonic spirits manifested into spiritual storms, I suddenly found myself in the state of Texas. There was an army of horse riders waiting for me and prepared to run. I relayed to them what I had seen, not only on July 1, but on September 1. I shouted, "The anointing of Paul Revere is upon us! Now is the time to warn the American Church of the coming spiritual storms. We must warn them of the false gospel of accommodation! Watch as God uses the physical storms to highlight those who are preaching this false gospel. We must warn the Church of the hatred, fear, violence, and depression that will try to overtake them. If they give in, they will look no different than the world. Days are coming where parts of the Church will become so blended with the world that you will have a hard time discerning the difference between the two."

As I and the army of horse riders rode with the anointing of Paul Revere to American Churches, we visited three specific types churches. (This was almost identical to a dream I had in 2015, but some details God gave me were different).

The Sleeping Church

The first type of church we visited had “Sleeping Church” engraved on its doors. As we opened the doors to these churches, every one of them was in the middle of a service. We would hurry in to relay the message of what we had just seen and heard, only to be shocked to see everyone in attendance, including the leadership, sucking on pacifiers. While this type of church could hear our words, they had no ability to respond. We began to cry out and say, “Why are you silent, Church, why are you silent? Though you are awake, you are sleeping!”

In the dream, the Holy Spirit immediately spoke to me Eph 4:14: “Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.”

The Hyper Grace Church

The second type of church we visited met in various looking buildings and was very post modern. We were delighted because many of them seemed to be younger in age (18-35). As we warned them of the coming spiritual storms, they laughed at us. God said
"These are the products of the works-based gospel movement of the ’80s and ’90s. These are they who have rebelled in the name of grace, but not in the name of My Son.” As the Spirit spoke this to us, there began to be mass commotion among them. He said,
“These types of churches are blinding the generations to the truth in the name of grace. They call themselves Joel’s army because they believe they will usher in the last day’s grace movement in the earth, but know that they are like the locust seeking to devour and ravage the vineyards of young generations. They distort the truth and preach rebellion and tolerance in the name of grace. They shall question if hell exists. They will believe that many paths lead to Me."

After visiting these two types of churches, The horse riders were in great distress. I cried out to the Spirit and said, “Take me to Your church.” I immediately rode up on a church building that had “Surrendered Church” on its doors.

The Surrendered Church

We quickly walked in and sat down. I immediately noticed that in the back of this church was a gaping hole. It was as if a blast had gone off and almost entirely knocked out the back walls of the Surrendered Church. As we visited surrendered churches all over America, we found the exact same thing. I sat in the back and asked the Father what had happened. He said, “My church was at first deceived by the false gospel of accommodation. They allowed hatred, fear, depression, and violence to overtake them. The Hyper Grace Church you just saw, stormed out of the back of My church and left because of the preaching of holiness and the fear of the Lord, but now My church has been awakened and it shall be repaired.”

I got up out of my seat and watched as many people were working on repairing the gaping hole in the back of the church. As I watched, I noticed something interesting; the workers were not just any workers. They were true apostles and prophets restoring the foundation of the Church and many of them were teaching other young people how to properly lay the foundation. God said, "I am raising up a remnant in the American Church that will be sound in doctrine, they will embrace the gospel of self-denial, and they will not walk in fear, anger, violence, and depression."

Many intercessors were in great travail repenting over the sins of the Church, but having a great sense of hope as they cried out and thanked the Father for awakening the Church from deception. 

Then I woke up.

With sobriety,

The Parable of the Sower Sows the Word - Revisited

Mark 4:13-20

13 And He said to them, Do you not discern and understand this parable? How then is it possible for you to discern and understand all the parables?

(The Lord puts a premium on THIS parable....if we don't understand THIS ONE, we'll not get the rest of them - This is the Graddaddy of all Parables)

14 The sower sows the Word.

15 The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown [in their hearts], but when they hear, SATAN COMES AT ONCE AND [BY FORCE] TAKES AWAY THE MESSAGE WHICH IS SOWN IN THEM.

(The BIGGEST threat to satan, in OUR lives is the Word of God that has been invested in our lives, he's AFTER THEM ALL.)

16 And in the same way the ones sown upon stony ground are those who, when they hear the Word, at once receive and accept and welcome it with joy;

17 And they have no real root in themselves, and so they endure for a little while; then WHEN TROUBLE OR PERSECUTION ARISES ON ACCOUNT OF THE WORD, they immediately are offended (become displeased, indignant, resentful) and they stumble and fall away.

(TROUBLE AND PERSECUTION ARISES ON ACCOUNT OF THE WORD – and when it does, folk becomes offended, resentful and stumble and fall away – that’s what satan’s after.)

18 And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word;

19 Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things CREEP IN AND CHOKE AN SUFFOCATE THE WORD, and it becomes fruitless.

(SATAN ALSO USES CARES AND ANXIETIES OF THIS LIFE, DISTRACTIONS OF THIS AGE AND THE PLEASURES AND DELIGHT AND FALSE GLAMOUR, DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES AND CRAVING AND PASSIONATE DESIRE FOR OTHER THINGS, they creep in and choke the Word to become fruitless.)

20 And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit—some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.

In Ephesians chapter 6 we're told of the weapons of our spiritual warfare, they are:

1) Helmet of Salvation

2) Breastplate of Righteousness

3) Shield of Faith

4) Belt of Truth

5) Shoes of Peace

6) Sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God)

Five of these weapons are defensive.

There's only ONE that is used defensively.  THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT.  GODS WORD.

If satan can bring blow after blow after blow to our lives, to the point that we're discouraged and close the Word of God and lay it aside....that's all he's after.   DISARMAMENT.  If he can disarm us, he's got it made, and the plans that have been belched out of the belly of hell against us, to bring killing, stealing and destruction into our lives will have no opposition, he's hit a home run....and he is dancing a jig.

 John 10:10 tells us:
The thief (satan) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 

When we see anything that is "stealing, killing or destroying" - we can readily earmark it as being from the thief/satan.  Simple as that.

What does God's Word tell us in Luke 10:19?

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 

Is there something between us and God?  Just take care of it, it's as simple as I John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

THEN - THEN - THEN -----

We're told in James 4:7,8:

Therefore SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 

What is trying to hinder the Word of God from producing in your life?

I CHOOSE TO RECEIVE, GUARD, AND KEEP THE WORD OF GOD ALIVE IN ME BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BEAR FRUIT…SOME 30X, SOME 60X AND SOME EVEN 100X, IN JESUS’ NAME.

Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give you the AUTHORITY to trample on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY., and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Father, thank You for HELPING US to guard Your precious Word in our lives, to esteem it, obey it, and look to it with every need and direction for our lives...... in Jesus’ Name.

Spiritual Awakening

The Call of God

Hear God calling humanity out of the world turmoil, “Come Home, Come Home.  You who are weary come to Me.  You that are hungry come to Me.  I will give you peace.  I will rest your weary souls.  You have walked the wilderness road of this world and found no life peace.  You have eaten of the husks of the pigsties and it leaves a gnawing emptiness in your soul.  Come My children out of satan’s pig sty, come out of destruction, killing, stealing, destroying.  I will be the God I say I am.  I will be the God of My promise Word.

“I am at the door, time on earth is running out.  It is wake-up time.  Fires of awakening revival are coming, blazing forth upon the dry ground to burn over and out the rubbish.  Hear all the words I speak.  I will have revival in the midst of satan’s revival of death and destruction.  I have begun My move. I know the time.  My people of prayer are in place.  The sparks of reviving awakening, Calling! Calling! Calling!  My drawing staying power, I call you to prayer not worry.  You will quit worrying, for worry is turning into anointed prayer of the coals on the altar before God.  The winds of My Spirit are blowing.  I am breathing fresh breath into the souls of My people. 

“Deep hunger gnaws at the depth of their souls.  A hunger for the Living God, Winds of My Holy Spirit are blowing over My Church.  It will revive, they will arise, and mocking and scoffing will fall like leaves in the winter from trees.  I will move like a flood of power.  I will do My own will.  I am making ready, it has started to cover the earth.  I have positioned My Body, look up, pray up, and get up.  Wind of Holy Spirit is covering the earth.  I am a God of promise.  I am a God of love.  I am a God of war.  I am a God of life.”
