“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

“Jesus will give us counsel so we know how to make good decisions in the practical areas of life. He gives counsel for an action plan to go forward in victory. He will counsel us so we can fulfill our assignment in life. The Holy Spirit will teach us all things including how to relate, serve, use our time and finances, be healthy, etc. For example, He will counsel us day by day if we ask what to do with our time, money, what to say “yes” to, who to join our heart to, and what to avoid. Isa. 9:6″
John 14:26:
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
There are miracles in which God heals supernaturally, and then apparently, there is a natural affect of believing positive and wholesome thoughts about our health. Jesus’ words in Mark 11:24 may relate to both:
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
I got a word from God about this once:
“You are healed. You are healthy. You are strong. Believe this. Take this and run. Don’t worry, think negative thoughts or disbelieve, or this will drive you down. Be not afraid.”
HeartMath says:
“Remember, your thoughts send out energy to every cell in your body. This video is a great reminder to nurture positive thoughts, feelings and attitudes.”
This principle may be far more important than most realize. The body is electric. And the heart is more than a pump. Western medicine only thinks in terms of drugs and surgery.
[I’m skeptical of some of the results of this water experiment. How could written words taped onto the container have an effect, for example? More likely it was the effect of the hearts of those thinking about those subjects while being near the water, I’m thinking. HeartMath talk about how the human heart emits an energy field for many feet, for example.]

purpleleisureologist | Uploaded on Mar 13, 2009
Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in July 1943 and a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University’s department of humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations. In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October of 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.
He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher, but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature through. He has gained worldwide acclaim through his groundbreaking research and discovery that water is deeply connected to our individual and collective consciousness.
He is the author of the best-selling books Messages from Water, The Hidden Messages in Water, and The True Power of Water. He is a long-time advocate for peace in relation to water. He is currently the head of the I.H.M.General Research Institute and President Emeritus of the International Water for Life Foundation, a Not for Profit Organization.
Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities.
Some examples from his works include:
Water from clear mountain springs and streams had beautifully formed crystalline structures, while the crystals of polluted or stagnant water were deformed and distorted.
Distilled water exposed to classical music took delicate, symmetrical crystalline shapes.
When the words “thank you” were taped to a bottle of distilled water, the frozen crystals had a similar shape to the crystals formed by water that had been exposed to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations”- music composed out of gratitude to the man it was named for.
When water samples were bombarded with heavy metal music or labeled with negative words, or when negative thoughts and emotions were focused intentionally upon them, such as “Adolf Hitler”, the water did not form crystals at all and displayed chaotic, fragmented structures.
When water was treated with aromatic floral oils, the water crystals tended to mimic the shape of the original flower.
Sometimes, when we cannot see the immediate results of our affirmations and or prayers, we think we have failed. But, as we learn through Masaru Emoto’s photographs, that thought of failure itself becomes represented in the physical objects that surround us. Now that we have seen this, perhaps we can begin to realize that even when immediate results are invisible to the unaided human eye, they are still there. When we love our own bodies, they respond. When we send our love to the Earth, she responds.
For our own bodies at birth are more than 60 percent water, and the percentage of water in our bodies remains high throughout life (depending upon weight and body type). The earth’s surface is more than 60 percent water as well. And now we have seen before our eyes that water is far from inanimate, but is actually alive and responsive to our every thought and emotion. Perhaps, having seen this, we can begin to really understand the awesome power that we possess, through choosing our thoughts and intentions, to heal ourselves and the earth. If only we believe.
Whether you participate in global meditations, or simply do this inner work in the quiet of your own loving mind and heart — we can heal the body of our earth and recreate a clear, pristine world to hand down to our children for seven generations.

I don’t agree on everything with Joel, spiritually, but this is good. Really important, actually!
Evil spirits speak to and tempt people, including Christians in our own grammar. Most Christians are vulnerable: Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
When North Korea attacks South Korea, and we respond with nukes, that will give Russia/China the excuse to nuke US, preceded by EMPs.
So when the war with North Korea is launched, and then the power goes out across America — nukes will be next!

Steve Hill: Breaking Up with the Devil — “You must be sick and tired of the relationship”
A reader wrote me this email recently, and graciously gave me permission to post it: really awesome testimony about praying in tongues to overcome and dream! I said I would without mentioning her name. Thank you very much!
Having prayed in tongues many thousands of hours for 33 years, I believe praying in tongues is mostly about freeing from evil spirits, both the prayer and those prayed for. I explain this in a link below, as well as give biblical proof that most ‘Christians’ today have demons, and share my prophecy about praying in tongues to get free!
One of my teachers in Bible school, Frank G. used to call it “getting the carbon out.” We would often blow the carbon out at the start of his classes, or before Prayer and Praise to be free!
Use your gift, you all, and if you don’t know how, or think you don’t have this personal prayer language gift, there are links below for that too, or write me.
Life in the Son!

“But you, beloved,
keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit”
– Jude 20
* * *
I’ve been talking to believing friends of mine about speaking in tongues and how powerful it is for spiritual warfare, one friend and I have even started a small group so that those with the gift in the ministry can pray in tongues together. We get together a few times a week and the meetings have been effective and powerful. Every one of the people that have joined the group have expressed how they’re growing into a closer and more intimate relationship with the Father and with Yahushua, and we hear daily testimonies about how the Holy Spirit is dealing with and overcoming sin in the lives of these believers.
Earlier this week, a dear friend of mine even received his gift of speaking in tongues for the very first time. 🙂 We were both very excited, and I encouraged him to use the gift often, as he’s very much in tune with the great need for spiritual warfare.
I know what you mean about ‘Christians’ being empowered by these demonic forces – sometimes the “Sunday morning disconnect” is so great that one can hardly believe that the person saying “I love Jesus” is the same one that dropped the F-bomb yesterday while threatening to cut her nephew’s eyes out for something he did a year ago. True story.
I had an interesting spiritual dream the other night. I dreamed that a friend and I were on an embankment by the side of a great body of water during a storm. As a wave came up and was about to crash over us, I thought to myself, “I guess this is it. I’ll see you in the new city.” I closed my eyes in the dream and expected the next scene to be waking up in New Jerusalem. Instead, I opened my eyes underwater, realized I was still alive and swam up to the surface.
When I reached the surface, I looked up and saw the golden city above me, and Jesus was reaching his arms out for my friend and I, like he was inviting us. My friend started to fly up in the air toward him, I tried to grab his leg but I couldn’t hold on. Then I looked at Jesus and started speaking in tongues, and as I would pray in tongues, I started to fly up toward him too. We eventually made it up to him, and he set us on a high platform overlooking New Jerusalem.
At that point the dream was interrupted by someone calling me in real life, but it left me with a tremendous sense of awe, and I felt very loved and humbled afterwards.

A Gift that Will Set Many Free! (A Death Warrant is Out for Your Souls) — Let Us Be ONE Prophecy, Part 13 of 33
A Gift that Will Set Many Free!
There is another day, a day that will happen if you let it.
I want you to be free, free from anxiety. A death warrant is out for your souls. It will get you if you let it. You must pray.
Many die from unknown causes. They are weak from attacks from the Devil who never gives up—curse after curse—toward My people. Many have given in, unable to walk.
Tongues, I’ve given you the gift of tongues from My heart to you. It is a gift that will set many free if you use it regularly. It is for you to walk holy, set free in forgiveness while you pray.
The two work together. One attacks the Devil, while you release those who have hurt you deeply, wounded your soul.
Pray for them. You can focus; you don’t have to pray in general all the time. I will give you the gift of lifeas you pray.
This is how it works. Believe in your heart you are praying for one another; though, it will come from the Holy Ghost, the words you emit that I give you to speak. Focus on these people, and pray until your tongues cease. I will tell you who to pray for, but this isn’t necessary. You can pray for anyone that way.
Believe in your heart; direct your tongues. I will fill your mouth as you speak and set people free. I will pray perfectly, as you obey, giving your life to others through prayer.
Amazing things will result! Your heart will be glad!
Watch Me do it. Prove My point. Try it now. Focus on someone who needs prayer. Believe in your heart you are praying for them as you speak words from above that fill your mouth. Pray it out, and watch them change, for I will release them from anger and all kinds of oppressions as you pray. You will see it, and it will amaze your intelligence. Many will be set free. Do it now. This is an important point.
And as you pray, forgive, release them from all kinds of cares and bondages. The two work hand in hand. You forgive and I pray through your words that I give you.
This is freedom! Set them free. Do it now; why wait when you can have the chance to move mountains, havean impact on society that many will see and feel. Your heart will be glad. Many will walk holy.
Pray for your elders. Many are not in the ministry to give life. Many are sucking you dry. They need to give up the ghost of unforgiveness and get on the bandwagon of love.
The seal of approval, you all want it. You can have it now. Why wait? You can be in Me as we speak. You can know for sure that you are sons of God, that I am in you and you are in Me. You will feel it. Your heart will be glad, and you will pray.
I will take you to heights unknown. Miracles will take place all around you as you obey. Many will be glad that you took the step of faith to lead. When all looked hopeless, you got up from your seat and prayed.
Pray. Let your heart be glad, and don’t give up. Pray until your tongues stop. This is an amazing gift that has much power to change.
Anyone can pray in tongues. It is a gift for all who obey, all who call on Me for Mercy.
Drink deeply, and let it give you life, freeing you, while you relax and find peace in a home here on earth.
We are together. Let us pray.
Living Examples, Filled to Overflowing Let Us Be ONE Prophecy, Part 15 of 33 excerpt:
It takes two to have fellowship. No more, but more will come. Start meeting two by twos until more follow. Meet once a week, and pray aloud. Strengthen yourselves, and go to the nations. They will see your light and be glad. But first, start at home. Build yourself a base, a core of believers who know Me from the bottom of their heart.
You will see great things happen in your midst, and it will be fun, exciting to watch Me work in you to others. Let them see your light. Let it shine. Let it be bold. Don’t hold back. Live a life of love.

The Price of Revival
Charles Finney once said that revival should come as no surprise. It is certain, just as a crop of wheat will come after the farmer has tilled the land and sown the seed. When we seek the face of God and are willing to pay the price of revival, it will come. The words of the missionary statesman, Jonathan Goforth, shed new light on the price of revival.
Our reading of the Word of God makes it inconceivable to us that the Holy Spirit should be willing, even for a day, to delay His work. We may be sure that, where there is a lack of the fullness of God, it is ever due to man’s lack of faith and obedience. If God the Holy Spirit is not glorifying Jesus Christ in the world today, as at Pentecost, it is we who are to blame. After all, what is revival but simply the Spirit of God fully controlling in the surrendered life? It must always be possible, then, when man yields. The sin of unyieldedness, alone, can keep us from revival.
But are we ready to receive Him? Do we value the giver and the gift sufficiently? Are we ready to pay the price of Holy Ghost revival? Take prayer for example. The history of revival shows plainly that all movements of the Spirit have started in prayer. Yet is it not right there that many of us wilt and falter at the cost?
“Fasting is about CHOOSING
voluntary WEAKNESS
so that Christ may
abound even more within us.”

Violent Revival
And from the days of John the Baptist until now
the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12
Your salvation was won by the violence of the Cross. Jesus came, lived a perfect life and died a violent death. He was bruised; He was crushed; He was punctured; He was whipped; He was ridiculed; He was spat upon; He was scorned; He was abused; His hands and feet were pierced; He was subjected to the most violent death of His day—crucifixion. He has done His part.
Your salvation depends on your waging violent warfare against sin. It is time to do your part. Friend, if you are sick of sin and how it has laid waste to your life, then you must wage war. War is public. The violent man goes to war with his sins. He doesn’t make excuses for them, he annihilates them. He slays them with the sword; burns them without mercy. They are the enemy. He will not settle for compromise or negotiate a treaty. No dealing with the devil. The violent man submits to God, resists the devil and the devil flees.
The salvation of your family and friends depends on your waging violent warfare on their behalf. Call it storming the gates of hell! You must be in a violent fight for the souls of lost loved ones. Be in violent intercessory prayer. Get violent against the strongholds of the enemy when it comes to taking your friends and your nation back for God! And remember, stay alert. Warfare is characterized by activity. Never look for peace while you proclaim war.

A Gift that Will Set Many Free! (A Death Warrant is Out for Your Souls)
Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? (my article which no one can disprove)
A woman really did surprise me in a comment, today, saying: “Fasting is not taught in the New Testament.” So I thought I’d clear the air to show what the New Testament does teach about fasting.
– –
In the new covenant, fasting isn’t specifically required, but holiness is, and fasting helps us calm our flesh so we can rest in God and find Him during prayer — and be real-going-to-heaven, full-of-fruit Christians. We must abide in Christ to be free.
Rom. 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 ..the mind of the Spirit is life and peace….
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
There is much historical evidence that early Christians did fast two days a week. For example in the Didache (70-100 AD) we see:
But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites [probably those living under the old covenant law – editor], for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week. Rather, fast on the fourth day and the Preparation (Friday).
And it’s interesting that this two day period just happens to turn out to be extremely healthy physically:
Jeff Fenske

Now is the time to fast:
Lu 5:33-35 [Also Mt.9:14-15 & Mk. 2:18-20]
Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?” And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”
~
Fasting with prayer builds faith and conquers unbelief (Jesus had the Holy Spirit in him, the way Christians do today, but the disciples didn’t, until Pentecost):
Mt. 17:18-21 [Also Mk. 9:17-29]
Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?” He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
~
Fasting with prayer helps us draw near to God:
Ac 10:30
So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
~
The Holy Spirit gave important guidance while they were praying and fasting — BIG decisions need BIG guidance:
Ac 13:2-3
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent [them] away.
Ac 14:23
So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
~
Couples agreeing to fast and pray at times:
1Co 7:5
Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
~
Don’t make a big deal out of it:
Mt 6:16-18
“Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who [is] in the secret [place]; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
~
An 84-year-old widow’s example, even before the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost:
Lu 2:37
…and this woman [was] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
~
We also see in the Didache (70-100 AD), this interesting passage that here includes fasting for those who persecute us:
There are two ways, one of life and one of death, but a great difference between the two ways. The way of life, then, is this: First, you shall love God who made you; second, love your neighbor as yourself, and do not do to another what you would not want done to you. And of these sayings the teaching is this: Bless those who curse you, and pray for your enemies, and fast for those who persecute you. For what reward is there for loving those who love you? Do not the Gentiles do the same? But love those who hate you, and you shall not have an enemy. Abstain from fleshly and worldly lusts.

Bob Mumford’s classic guidance book is still available: “Take Another Look At Guidance” (I don’t remember if Bob talks about fasting in this book, but one of his points is that ~”big decisions need big guidance.” Fasting helps us get clear guidance — and so does praying in tongues, by the way — which helps excise demons)
Another one of my favorite scenes from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, which portrays evil as really being evil.
Where is your line in the sand? Put your foot down. Really stamp it down! “Submit to God; resist the Devil and he’ll flee!”
NO to sin; YES to Jesus!

Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God?
Benny Hester: “When God Ran” — God will RUN when we come back to Him!
I miss John — a great trailblazer in doing the greatest commandment — learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit!
I’m transcribing some of John’s statements:
– –
Saw for the first time the stars and the constellations emanating from Someone.
•
John got to a place where he loved the institution more than the body of Christ. He understood he had begotten something that wasn’t of God.
•
“‘Here I am trying to serve You, but it just doesn’t taste good. … What happened, God? How did it get all twisted around from ‘God, I’ll serve you’ to this? How did I get here? And I began weeping before the Lord, and asked direction.”
•
“So God has been ‘saving’ people in our midst from day one, but not because we were focused on that — but because we were focused on Him. And as we would come into His presence and worship Him, and gather and collect, and just give ourselves over to worship, He would just come and rest on us. …the air would thicken up. We could feel His presence in the room. God was with us. We knew it. But we didn’t know that the presence and the power was the same thing.”
•
“He said, ‘John, that’s My mercy. For some people it’s a blessing, and for some people it’s not.’ He said, ‘John, don’t ever beg Me for healing again. Look at it. There’s plenty for everyone. John, the problem isn’t on My end. The problem is down there where you are.’ And that was one of the most profound and moving experiences I’ve ever had. And I’ve never looked at healing the same way again. … I know the problem isn’t on His end. Our God has sent mercy in the Son. He sent His Word to heal them. Jesus has come. He brought a message of love from the Father. Healing is here. The problem is appropriating it, getting blessed in it, receiving it.”

Give Up the Ghost of Pride and Settle for Nothing Other Than Love (Paul learned how to live above the fray)
Grade B maple syrup has far more minerals than Grade A, being less refined — available at health food stores in bulk (bring your own jar). Unfortunately, pure maple syrup is spendy, but I personally wouldn’t drink this mixture as much as they say.
Frozen lemon juice leeches the plastic from the containers (being extremely acidic; though, it makes the body alkaline); otherwise, it would be a good choice. BPA is a gender bender toxin that does all kinds of things.
Personally, I would skip the “Smooth Move” tea. But I’m not saying others should or should not.

The Master Cleansing Fast
This is one of my favorite fasts simply because it is truly sacrificial. It has no substance to the liquid, yet it sustains your energy level to continue your everyday responsibilities. Surprisingly, this fast does not leave you too weak if you do it right and it will cleanse every part of your body. This combination has all the nutrition needed during your fast.
HOW TO MAKE IT?
2 Tablespoons lemon or limejuice (approx. ½ lemon)
2 Tablespoons genuine grade A or B maple syrup (Not maple flavored sugar syrup) You can purchase this at Trader Joes, Artesian Health or any health section at the grocery store.
1/10 Teaspoon liquid cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste. I recommend Dr. Schultz cayenne, you can purchase at Artesian Health in Stockton. 8 oz water, room temperature – or cold Combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz glass with the water.
Shake it up or stir it and drink. (Cold water may be used if preferred.)
Use fresh lemons only, never canned lemon or limejuice nor frozen lemonade or frozen juice.
Drink this mixture 8-10 times a day, any time you feel hungry. The maple syrup balances your sugar levels and keeps you going.
Every night it is important to drink a cup of “Smooth Move” herbal tea. Steep for about 5 minutes and sweeten with honey or maple syrup. This will help your body to elliminate toxins and will give you a bowel movement in the morning. If you do not eliminate, you can get very sick.

Really important concept and only 27 minutes long. Not much is added once callers called in.

Wisdom For Solving Financial Problems
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.”
[…]
A challenge in wisdom; find a quiet place and provide yourself with a minimum of two hours. During these two hours, bring only a pen and a notepad. Ask your family not to disturb you during this exercise. Begin by asking God for wisdom. Next, make a list of your financial problems. Go ahead, keep listing them even if it takes several pages to do so. Lastly, look over your list of “problems” and prioritize them. You might do this by making a new list and numbering them from most important to least important. An alternative would be to give each problem a rating such as “L” for low, “M” for medium, and “H” for high.
You should have at least sixty to ninety minutes left to “brainstorm.” Start by placing each one of your high priority problems at the top of a separate sheet of paper. Now, sit quietly and truly seek answers from God.
As solutions come to mind, write them down on the sheet of paper corresponding to that problem. Don’t question, don’t think of all of the reasons that a given idea won’t work, just write them down.
After you have completed this exercise, you will have dozens if not hundreds of solutions to your most urgent problems. Repeat this exercise often, taking time to deal with your medium and low level issues before they move up in the ranking. This approach also works well for any problem, financial or otherwise.
What is wonderful about this method is that we are literally giving God our problems, asking for His wisdom, and then offering a blank pad of paper for His solutions. Why don’t we just stop our busy lives and ask God for His wisdom and guidance? God is waiting right now for you to ask.

Prayer & Finances
First hour guest, author James Paris discussed how to use prayer to improve finances. A millionaire by the age of 30, he was bankrupted by his fortieth birthday, after his accountant/brother embezzled his fortune. This turn of fate led him to discover a different approach to prayer– instead of asking God for what he wanted to happen (which proved ineffective), he started asking God what he wanted him to do. “When I realized prayer was a two-way conversation,” he recounted, “I would find myself on the beach with a yellow pad and a pen…and I would come back from these two and three hour prayer sessions with pages and pages of ideas, information, and direction that I would never come up with on my own.”

I just had a personal prayer breakthrough, praying towards the root of improper concepts that are putting people to sleep to a degree that I probably never have before.
There are people who pray against (James-3 curse) people to not investigate various concepts and/or even events to see what is really going on — to keep people in the dark: the situation we’re really in with God for not caring about what we’ve done and supported overseas in these wars is just one example. I was watching a documentary on Abu Ghraib when I got the idea to pray more thoroughly about this than ever before. And that led to prayers about other “Schultz – ‘I know nothing; I see nothing; I hear nothing'” blockages.
I can post truth every day, but if people feel compelled to look the other way because others have ‘prayed’ that they would close their hearts….
There are bullies and scoffers who want people to be in the dark, for whatever reason about many things. We don’t have to know who the truth stoppers are, but we can pray for whomever they are to set many free!

Unity Through Humility
2 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
… Your WORSHIP will bring down glory. Give yourself to worship whenever you can as it is a powerful tool against the witchcraft that is arising. Worship Me in the beauty of holiness I’ve said. When you are in worship, engaged in worshiping Me, there is nothing that can touch you. No weapon will alight. Keep your minds STAYED on ME throughout each day. Listen for My still small voice. Don’t ignore My leanings.
Understand that My Spirit of Burning is bringing glory that will burn off all oppression, and destroy all strongholds of the enemy in your hearts. It will heal all sicknesses. It will restore your soul and bring My LIGHT that cleanses you from all unrighteousness. Humble yourself in My presence, for I am looking for those who worship Me in spirit and truth, not hiding anything, but exposing their hearts openly to My gaze.
Beloveds, I am not looking to punish you or sending trials just for fun. In this world you will have tribulation I said. But I will be with you in all you go through, and I will give you the power to go through, to overcome, to destroy the works of the enemy and his cohorts. Lean on Your Beloved my bride, lean and do not let go. Keep the oil in your lamps, and don’t neglect that time in My presence, for I am at hand, and I am coming to SHAKE the enemy’s hold off all those who want freedom, who want ME more than the world. Ask for grace in your time of need, and I will give it.
I died for you that you could be FREE. But you walk in and out of that freedom when you walk in and out of grace ! I give grace to you. So give grace to others who need it.
Understand that I love the person next to you as much as I love you. Understand that I love that witch who sent curses your way, as much as I love you. I love that television host as much as I love you. I love that starving child as much as I love you. I love that homeless person who stole your wallet as much as I love you. I love because I AM LOVE.

Intermittent fasting promotes brain health
According to a new study carried out at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, fasting for one or two days each week may help improve the condition of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Researchers have found that stopping nearly all food intake for short periods of time triggers a protection mechanism within the brain which also works against the effects of neurodegenerative disorders.
Calorie intake impacts the brain
Professor Mark Mattson, lead author of the study and professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explained at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver that “reducing your calorie intake could help your brain, but doing so by cutting your intake of food is not likely to be the best method of triggering this protection. It is likely to be better to go on intermittent bouts of fasting, in which you eat hardly anything at all, and then have periods when you eat as much as you want. In other words, timing appears to be a crucial element to this process.”
The science team lead by Dr. Mattson discovered that reducing food intake to approximately 500 calories per fasting day yields optimal effects and can significantly improve long-term cognitive function. Foods that may safely be consumed during fasting days include an assortment of fiber-rich vegetables, unsweetened tea and water.

There is an interesting example of someone who was led by the Holy Spirit, and we are supposed to walk like he did.
Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit when he walked on this earth, having emptied himself (Philippians 2). He said:
“BY MYSELF I CAN DO NOTHING; I judge only AS I HEAR, and my judgment is just, for I SEEK NOT TO PLEASE MYSELF BUT HIM who sent me” (John 5:30).
“I tell you the truth, THE SON CAN DO NOTHING BY HIMSELF; he can do only what he sees his Father doing…” (John 5:19).
We are supposed to walk like Jesus did:
“But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live IN HIM must walk as Jesus did” (1 John 2:5).
In a paper that I wrote while attending seminary A Call to Intimacy: The Holy Spirit in John’s Gospel & Epistles, I say this:
Prophets in the Old Testament prophesied that Jesus would operate by the empowering of the Holy Spirit (Ps. 2:2; Isa. 11:1-5 ; 42:1,7; 61:1-3). The New Testament also witnesses to the fact that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (Matt. 4:1, Mark. 1:12, Luke. 4:1), EMPOWERED to preach, cast out demons, and heal the sick BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (Matt. 12:28; Luke 4:14, 18, 19; 11:20), and resurrected by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11; 1 Pet. 3:18,19).
Jesus often went to lonely places to spend time with his father, so he would know what to do. His cry at Gethsemane was “Not my will, but yours be done.”
After he died, he sent the counselor, the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth so we could walk like Jesus did:
“But THE COUNSELOR, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS…” (John 14:26).
“But when he, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, comes, he will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH…” (John 16:13).
“But YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth…. But as HIS ANOINTING TEACHES YOU ABOUT ALL THINGS and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit –just as it has taught you, REMAIN IN HIM” (1 John 2:20,27).
Being led by the Holy Spirit is the normal Christian life.

Hearing God’s Voice: Brief Repeat Phrases
Jesus’ Heart-Cry: “Let Us Be ONE”
One of the greatest ways to learn from God!
This has also happened to me many times. I’ll just realize I heard (in my mind – not audibly – just a thought that I know I didn’t originate) “Psalm 20,” for example, and I’ll look it up. And sometimes I’ll hear this same chapter later, even many times until I get it.
Francis recorded this almost four years ago, when he was almost certainly still teaching once-saved-always-saved. God was helping Francis be balanced in his understanding, and Francis was listening, and looking up what he subtly heard from God’s still, small voice. And now look at the fruit from Francis hearing and obeying!!!
Let’s all hear and obey. God is trying to balance us, bringing us into truth so we can be ‘ONE’ with each other, abiding in Him. Then the world will know — and we’ll be so happy!!!

what God taught me this morning in Psalm 90
I read this book in the early ’80s after hearing Bob speak about guidance at Abbott Loop. I loved this book, which had a big impact on me, after Bob taught us at Abbott Loop to always have a lighted pen by our bedside to write down what God tells us while we’re in bed.
[If I remember correctly, having not read this gem in decades, I probably wouldn’t fully agree with everything, like fleeces. I’m pretty sure I still have it buried in a box somewhere; otherwise, I’d take a look to make sure.]
Isn’t it interesting and sad that books about being led by the Holy Spirit are few and far between? Even most charismatic churches are now just barely charismatic.
When Willow Creek and others pioneered the seeker friendly movement, I never thought they would adversely influence so many churches that should have known better, having experienced the real thing. The Holy Spirit hardly has a role these days.

There is a whole bunch of research that actually says that prayer… is an extremely powerful healing mechanism; that when you send somebody prayer — and they compare people who get prayer versus those who don’t — that the ones who get prayer do better. If that’s any indication, it certainly worked in my case, because I’m actually feeling pretty good.

Katherine’s producer, Ray Masters, has asked that her listeners of faith join in prayer with Psalm 91.
Psalms 91
[1] He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
[2] will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”
[3] For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
[4] he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
[5] You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
[6] nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
[7] A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand;
but it will not come near you.
[8] You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
[9] Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
the Most High your habitation,
[10] no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
[11] For he will give his angels charge of you
to guard you in all your ways.
[12] On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
[13] You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
[14] Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
[15] When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will rescue him and honor him.
[16] With long life I will satisfy him,
and show him my salvation.

FRANCIS CHAN from his book “Crazy Love,”
emphasis mostly mine
—
The Engrossed
Jesus didn’t pull the greatest command out of nowhere. He hearkened all the way back to the days of Moses, when God says to His people,
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts, Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates.
—Deuteronomy 6:4–9
In Moses’ time, the heart was understood to be the seat of a person’s emotions, the very center of his being, the place where decisions are made. The soul was considered the basis for a person’s traits and qualities, or his personality. Strength refers to physical, mental, and spiritual strength.
So within this command to love God with “all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength,” every fiber of humanity is addressed. Our goal as people who follow Christ should be no less than becoming people who are madly in love with God.
A person who is obsessed with God is
characterized by committed,
settled, passionate love for God,
above and before every other thing
and every other being.

Many students at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School were greatly
influenced by Jack Deere’s gifts-of-the-Spirit discovery
during the Vineyard Movement days
just over two decades ago.
Jack Deere
From: jackdeere.com/about.html
Jack was raised in Ft. Worth, Texas in a broken home that did not know the Lord. When he was 17 years old, a friend led Jack to Christ. Jack began reading the Bible for the first time and fell in love with the Scriptures. He attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, where in majored in Philosophy and started working with the ministry of Young Life leading high school students to the Lord. After graduation in 1971, he attended Dallas Theological Seminary concentrating in Greek and Hebrew study of the Bible. He and Leesa were married in 1974. In 1976, he was invited to join the faculty of Dallas Seminary teaching Hebrew and books of the Bible in Hebrew. He received both a Master and Doctor of Theology degrees from Dallas Seminary. During his tenure at Dallas Seminary, he started and pastored two churches.
In 1986 after months of concentrated scriptural study, Jack reversed his position on the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. He became convinced that all of the gifts of the Spirit were meant to be used today, including healing and prophecy. God had never withdrawn these gifts, rather many in the church had withdrawn from the gifts. Even though he had no supernatural experience of his own, Jack and Leesa along with others began praying for the sick and listening for the voice of God. Almost immediately, they saw some wonderful healings.
He left the seminary faculty at in the end of 1987 and joined the staff of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church in Anaheim, CA. He served with John Wimber at the church and traveled around the world with him doing conferences on intimacy with God and the Holy Spirit.
Jack left the Anaheim Vineyard in 1992 to begin his own conference and writing ministry. He has written best selling books, which have been translated into a number of languages He travels national and internationally doing conferences on many themes. He serves on the boards of a number of Christian ministries.
Jack is currently the senior pastor of Wellspring Church in North Richland Hills, Texas, a church he started in the spring of 2004. The mission of the church is threefold: to help people cultivate an intimate friendship with Jesus; to help people discover and effectively use their spiritual gifts in significant ways in the church; and having learned how to use these gifts effectively in the church, then to use their gifts in the market place where they spend the majority of their time.
Jack and Leesa live in Colleyville, TX. They have two grown children, Stephen and Alese.

Sid Roth’s speaking in tongues testimony:
When I received my supernatural language I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t hear anything. Just by faith I started speaking. The man told me to do it, I believed that he knew what he was talking about, so therefore, I could do it. I was like a child. I had like childlike faith. If they had said you could sing, you could walk on water, I would have walked on water. But then immediately after I started speaking my language the thought popped in my head, you’re making that up. And so I was kind of, James calls it, I was kind of double-minded as far as my supernatural language.
And at that time an orthodox Jewish rabbi became a believer in Jesus. And I was talking with him and a woman came up that was expecting a baby, and the doctor had said the baby was dead within her. And she walked up to me, and I’m a brand new believer, and she said, “Pray for my baby to come to life.” Now I didn’t know anything. That was a little too much for me. And so when I prayed for the baby to come back to life all I could think of doing was praying in my supernatural language, and I did it. And after she left, the rabbi said to me, “You were speaking in an ancient form of Hebrew. Where did you learn it?” I said, “Rabbi, I know Bar Mitzvah Hebrew. I know how to read it. I don’t speak too many words.” This rabbi said to me, “Sid, you prophesied that the child was with the God the Father and be at peace.” And I, Janie, I never doubted again.

Sid Roth welcomes Janie DuVall
SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Janie DuVall, and we’re talking about supernatural languages. I believe that God wants to restore this gift for the last great push of God’s spirit. As I study the great men and women of God throughout history one ingredient is left out, but it’s in the record, Janie, and that is they all have spoke in supernatural languages. There was a one-eyed, uneducated African-American man that literally led the Azusa Street Revival.
JANIE: William Seymour.
SID: Most people don’t know this. If you had walked into his service the first thing you would see is a man sitting there with a box over his head. You wouldn’t be able to see his face. You would have run out. But you know what he was doing? He was praying in supernatural languages, and he would not take the box off of his head until God told him what to do.
JANIE: But you know, he’s not the only one. John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, that was their key to walking in the miraculous. And all the guests that you’ve had lately, even in like the past year, I asked them, okay, what’s your secret? How come you’re seeing angels? How come you’re being translated? How come you see fast answers to prayer? How come so many people are getting healed? I prayed in supernatural languages a long time. That’s the key. And you know what the big key, but some people can still pray in supernatural languages and not have anything happen. And the reason is when you’re praying in supernatural languages you’re allowing the Holy Spirit to change you. You’re allowing him to have you walk in supernatural love and supernatural power. But if you don’t allow that change then you could be stopping it.

James Buchanan – 12/14/1860
By His Excellency
James Buchanan, President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation, Fasting, & Prayer.
To the People of the United States. A Recommendation.
Numerous appeals have been made to me by pious and patriotic associations and citizens, in view of the present distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that a day be set apart for Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer throughout the Union.
In compliance with their request and my own sense of duty, I designate Friday, the 4th of January 1861, for this purpose, and recommend that the People assemble on that day, according to their several forms of worship, to keep it as a solemn Fast.
The Union of the States is at the present moment threatened with alarming and immediate danger; panic and distress of a fearful character prevails throughout the land; our laboring population are without employment, and consequently deprived of the mans of earning their bread. Indeed, hope seems to have deserted the minds of men. All classes are in a state of confusion and dismay, and the wisest counsels of our best and purest men are wholly disregarded.
In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crimes and follies — our own ingratitude and guilt towards our Heavenly Father.
Let us, then, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling ourselves before the Most High, in confessing our individual and national sins, and in acknowledging the injustice of our punishment. Let us implore Him to remove from our hearts that false pride of opinion which would impel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of consistency, rather than yield a just submission to the unforeseen exigencies by which we are now surrounded. Let us with deep reverence beseech him to restore the friendship and good will which prevailed in former days among the people of the several States; and, above all, to save us from the horrors of civil war and “blood-guiltiness.” Let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne that He would not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but remember us as he did our fathers in the darkest days of the revolution; and preserve our Constitution and our Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to come.
An Omnipotent Providence may overrule existing evils for permanent good. He can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath he can restrain. — Let me invoke every individual, in whatever sphere of like he may be placed, to feel a personal responsibility to God and his country for keeping this day holy, and for contributing all in his power to remove our actual and impending calamities.
James Buchanan.
Washington, Dec. 14, 1860.
