The Multiplication Anointing

Catherine BrownAnd so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work. Exodus 36:7

In outworking global missions I have learned that God provides for everything He commissions. The principle of getting in the flow of God's eternal provision by faith is a key to unlocking the Father's unlimited resource and funding for Kingdom vision. Flow is about understanding and entering in to the faithfulness of God in the reality of our covenant relationship with Him. Christian leaders are appointed as stewards of Heaven's resource, and so I believe it is essential that we enter into a fresh understanding and experience of the miracle of multiplication in our ministries so that we may be instrumental in releasing transformational blessing to the nations.

God has been speaking to me recently about His desire to release the Church into a new level of miracle multiplication anointing, i.e. a season of supernatural "suddenly," acceleration and increase.

It is has been my personal experience that God has a simple "formula" for such an outpouring which has been:

Great need x great faith x sacrificial giving x prayer x God's love = miracle of multiplication!

Multiplication of Time
The multiplication anointing operates in the realm of the miraculous, outside of the confines of physics, time and space. It is the realm of the impossible made possible by God's grace, love, power and authority.

I have experienced God "stretching" time on one occasion. I had been ministering in the Central belt of Scotland some one hour and 40 minute drive from my home. I had been delayed and consequently left the meeting extremely late. I had needed to leave on time since I had to pick up my youngest son from school that day. Driving home I prayed and asked the Lord to redeem the lost minutes and to multiply my time back to me. It is physically impossible for the drive to take less than one hour and 20 minutes in good traffic conditions, but despite this I arrived in my home town just 50 minutes after I left the Central belt (in fact I was five minutes early for school). I had sown time into the Kingdom and my harvest was a multiplication of the resource of my time back to me. I had honoured the Lord and fulfilled my apostolic assignment, and God graciously met me in my need as a mother to pick up my son.
To say that leaders are busy people is the understatement of the year. Therefore, I believe it is important that we exercise faith in the arena of multiplication of our time. In this season of miracle outflow and increase, may God grant us a harvest in our time resource and time management for His glory!

Multiplication in Healing
The multiplication anointing is catalytic in releasing the creative power of God. This is why a roomful of people can suddenly experience being healed simultaneously, rather than just one at a time. When Jesus heals one by one it is still glorious, but this is more like "addition" than "multiplication." It has been my profound privilege to have been ministering in meetings in different continents whereby the miracle working power of God has flowed in multiplication and we have corporately and simultaneously witnessed bones being healed, people being delivered and diseases being healed and swept away in the flood of God's love. We honour the Holy Spirit as the means by which such miracles occur.

We may refer to this as spiritual multiplication in the realm of healing. Apostles move in signs, wonders and miracles by the grace of God. The healing anointing is also freely available in Christ to every Believer, and evidenced in miracles and healings in many evangelistic meetings and contexts. It is my humble conviction that there is a greater realm of multiplication of miracles we may access by faith in the name of Jesus in these days. God is calling us to come up higher so that we have access by faith to unlimited healing and creative miracles in the name of Jesus – for the furtherance of His Kingdom here on earth. May God use apostolic leaders from all over the world to pioneer into new realms of releasing healing blessings to the Church and to the lost, and may His name be lifted up in praise by every tongue and every tribe as millions come to know His saving grace.

Multiplication of Physical Resource
In Exodus 35 and 36 we read how the people of Israel brought their skills, resources and talents to Bezalel and Oholiab for the materials for the construction of the Tabernacle. Bezalel and Oholiab were filled with the Spirit of God and had been given skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts. God had also imparted to them the ability to teach others. Under Moses' leadership they were able to call the Israelites to partner with them in God's vision of a beautiful Tabernacle on earth which He would graciously bless with His presence. The people gave so much to God's vision that Moses had to restrain them from bringing more "because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work."

I have been privileged to witness God outwork this principle of faith multiplication in resource many times during the fulfilment of the various global ministry assignments in which God has graced me to serve Him. Truly, when we bring what we have in our hearts and in our hands and give it as a love offering to God, He multiplies it for His glory. Apostles are anointed by the Holy Spirit to catalyse spiritual gifts in others. Apostolic multiplication anointing is a blessing to be shared with the Body of Christ.

One Million Hours of Praise was a global assignment I was privileged to lead, which lasted just under three years from conception to completion. It involved the mobilisation of thousands of people in more than sixty nations. It included a huge army of volunteer team members and praise partners throughout the world. Furthermore, it raised up a prayer movement of hundreds and required a huge amount of media exposure to keep the vision momentum moving. The list of all that was required to maintain the vision through to completion was enormous, but God did all of this and more.

God provided for the vision of MHOP in a number of different ways including:
1. The Lord sent people with skill and similar heart to partner with me in the vision.
2. He provided the raw materials/resources that were needed.
3. He gave me strategy to cast the vision and favour with media, hence increasing the networking opportunity to connect with potential partners.
4. He provided financial gifts from time to time through ministry donations/partners.
5. He gave me increased faith to pray for every need to be met in His goodness.
Every time we had a need, I found myself on my knees praying with fervent faith, and many times necessary breakthrough came when I released a sacrifice of praise/prayer to the Lord. I quickly grasped that I didn't have to pray for money; all I had to do was pray for God's miracle-working flow of goodness to provide for the need and God came through in wonder-working ways every single time. Our final budget on paper showed that we had spent the ludicrously low amount of £1,623.74 (approx $2,546 in U.S. dollars) to execute the vision from beginning to end! The reason the figure was so low was because the people of God all over the world who were our partners sowed sacrificially and generously, giving of their time and talents just as the Israelites had done in their day, and there was more than enough. All leaders have a responsibility before God to love, pray and invest in their team and partners. When apostolic leaders experience blessing and breakthrough, those with whom they partner with partake in the synergy of blessing from Abba Father, too.

In the last few years, I have been surprised by grace and elated to witness the Lord multiply money in my hands several times and in numerous currencies, including Euros, pounds Sterling and Kenyan shillings. On one of these occasions the multiplication happened in a foreign exchange bureaux in Kampala. The Holy Spirit instructed me to count the money (pounds sterling) and it multiplied as I counted it. Full of joy, I handed the money to my young aide Rachel and asked her to count it again. I told her the Lord had just multiplied it in my hands and instructed her how much was there. When she counted the money, it multiplied again in her hands. This is an important aspect of multiplication – it just keeps multiplying because we keep on giving! When we receive a blessing, it is multiplied as increased blessing when we give it away. Multiplication causes a continuous flow of blessing!

This money was exchanged in Ugandan shillings and was (in part) sown into a ministry in Masaka, Uganda. The miracle seed was shared with an apostle who had come close to giving up on ministry. He was so weary when we met him, but it was our privilege to wash his feet with prayer and words of apostolic encouragement. I sowed in love, sharing that Jesus was giving him miracle seed, and I prayed for increase and acceleration and apostolic blessing. Within two days the man was gifted a new car, and by the end of one week he had established a wonderful Bible School. He now invests in other leaders to raise them up as sons and daughters of God, and the man of God, the Bible school and the students are flourishing. God took the blessing and made it to be an even bigger blessing that produced both physical and spiritual resource. Multiplication brings the life of Christ into situations and releases testimony of God's goodness and miracle working power.

Multiplication of Spiritual Resource
Apostle Paul longed to visit the Church in Rome so that he might impart some spiritual gift to them. God still uses apostolic leaders today to take the Church to the next level in her ability to lay foundations, build and advance God's Kingdom on the earth. Apostolic leaders are mobilisers who are entrusted by God with divine blueprints to build the Kingdom.

I am delighted to say that One Million Hours of Praise reached and surpassed its target in 2005, and since 2007 I have had the privilege of spearheading a new global initiative, GGM 7 Million Souls, working with partners from all around the world. One of the greatest treasures in my role as the overseeing apostolic leader is to serve the wonderful men and women of God who partner with us to reach the nations and make disciples. My heart is to invest in the emerging generation of leaders, especially young leaders, and help them to reach their full potential in Christ. To raise up spiritual sons and daughters is one of the most precious aspects of apostolic ministry. Although I recognise that programmes have their place in the strategic outworking of vision and ministry in the Kingdom of God, I believe that people and relationships are much more important to Jesus than programes.

I am compelled by Christ's love to continue to nurture others as I read Charles H. Spurgeon's words, "To do the Lord's work must be as necessary as food to us. His Father's work is that in which we also are engaged, and we cannot do better than imitate our Lord. Tell me, then, how Jesus set about it. Did He set about it by arranging to build a huge Tabernacle, or by organising a monster Conference, or by publishing a great book, or by sounding a trumpet before Him in any other form? Did He aim at something great, and altogether out of the common line of service? Did He bid high for popularity, and wear Himself out by an exhausting sensationalism? No; He called disciples to Him one by one, and instructed each one with patient care."

I ask God to bless each one of you in whatever field of ministry and capacity He has called you and graced you to serve Him. May we each walk in increased intimacy with Christ and with each other and release His fragrance in the nations, and may God multiply His grace and glory in, to and through us for Christ and His Kingdom.

Jesus Is Your Qualification 4 God’s Blessings


Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come upon u & overtake u…

God loves 2 bless u. He has even declared that “blessings shall come upon u & overtake u”. This means that u can’t run fast enough 2 escape them! When u turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting 4 u. When u turn another corner, u run smack into another blessing!

Now, u may think that u don’t qualify for God’s blessings bcoz of the preceding verse which says that these blessings will come 2 pass only if u diligently obey God’s voice and keep all of His commandments. You know that no matter how hard u try, u just cannot keep all of God’s commandments. In fact, the Bible says that if u fail 2 keep just one commandment, u fail 2 keep all. (James 2:10)

My friend, I have good news 4 u: Jesus is the one who qualifies us for every single blessing bcoz He has kept all of God’s commandments. When He died for us on the cross, He not only fulfilled all of God’s commandments, He also redeemed us from the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:13) Note that He did not redeem us from the blessings of
the law, so the blessings are still ours today!

As u read the list of blessings in Deuteronomy 28, starting with “Blessed shall u be in the city… in the country… the fruit of your body… your basket… when u come in… when u go out…” (Deuteronomy 28:3–13), I believe that Jesus is saying 2 u, “Like the blessings? Then take them by faith!”

You may say, “But I don’t deserve them.” Yes, u don’t deserve them, but u still get them bcoz of Jesus. That is God’s grace! The law says, “You must deserve the blessings.” But the law is no longer here. Grace is here. So take the blessings by grace through faith. Believe God for the blessings.

Today, it is no longer a question of how much or how well u have kept God’s commandments. It is a question of how much u can believe God for His blessings. All the promises of God in Christ are “Yes”, and bcoz u are in Christ, u can say “Amen!” 2 His blessings! (2 Corinthians 1:20)

When the Crop Permits

Francis Frangipane
Certainly, the period prior 2 Christ's return will be both difficult and perilous. Scripture warns that God's voice will shake all things, things in the heavens and things upon the earth. Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken and removed (Hebrews 12:27).

Yet, there is more on the calendar of God than increasing judgments and the rapture. There will also be the advance and establishing of God's Kingdom (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 24:14; Matthew 13). A spiritually mature people will serve as the vanguard of His Kingdom. Before the Lord is glorified in the earth, He shall be glorified in the Church (see Isaiah 60:1-3; Ephesians 5:27). Indeed, the attainment of Christlike maturity in those who pursue the Lord shall not be a mere sidebar on the scroll of end-time events; it will be the main attraction.

Listen carefully 2 what Jesus taught. He said,
"The Kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; and he goes 2 bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts up and grows – how, he himself does not know. The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, bcoz the harvest has come" (Mark 4:26-29).

Jesus likened the Kingdom of God  a Farmer waiting for the maturing of His crops. During the harvest season, farmers are concerned about two primary things: the quantity and quality of the harvest. I live in eastern Iowa. Some corn and soybean fields, which may have started strong, fail or are stunted due 2 unusually high or low temperatures or lack of rain. As a result, farmers plow under their fields bcoz their crops did not reach maturity. There was no "mature grain in the head."

Just as the farmer will not harvest without the grain becoming mature, so God is seeking a crop of Christ-followers that have reached spiritual maturity. God is after full stature, not just full numbers. Take note: Jesus said, "when the crop permits," God puts in the sickle. The return of Christ isn't about a certain "day or hour," for it is the spiritual stature of the harvest that triggers the great unfolding of end-time events. You see, God is not looking at His watch; He's looking at His crop.

What does spiritual maturity look like? Recall Paul's words. He wrote, "We are ready 2 punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete" (2 Corinthians 10:6). What does complete obedience look like? It looks like Christians taking "every thought captive 2 the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). Again, God is looking for Christlikeness 2 ripen within us as we approach the end of the age. Indeed, our maturing can actually hasten the coming of the day of the Lord (2 Peter 3:12).

"Man...in the image of God" is the seed-idea purposed by the Almighty from before time began (Genesis 1:27). It does not in any way mean we think we are gods or that we take Christ's place; it means Christ has truly taken our place (Galatians 2:20). The original plan was for man 2b conformed 2 Christ. This is what the "mature head in the grain" looks like: mature Christlikeness.

For too long we have assumed that only the numeric size of the harvest was the focus of the Father. Certainly, the number of people saved is pivotal: "the fullness of the Gentiles" must come into the Kingdom (Romans 11:25). However, the Almighty does not just want numbers; He wants spiritual maturity.

Thus, the Lord is not looking at a calendar thinking, "Oh, it's the year 2011 (or 2020, etc.). I have 2 destroy the world on that date." No. A farmer does not reap his crops without first walking his fields, holding samples of the grain, and studying the moisture and integrity of the seed head before he begins his harvest. Again, the maturity of the crop determines the day of the harvest.

So many Christians are frozen in spiritual immaturity. They are easily offended, often distracted and without prayer or spiritual discipline. We think God is requiring of us simply 2 hang on, yet the Lord is looking for more. Paul says the goal of God in the Church is that "we all attain 2 the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, 2 a mature man, 2 the measure of the stature which belongs 2 the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).

Even now, Believers around the world are becoming increasingly more Christlike. They live in India and China, Africa and South America, Europe and North America, and places beyond. Yes, they are comparatively a little flock, yet "with unveiled face," they are "beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord" and "are being transformed into the same image from glory 2 glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18). When this crop permits, the Father shall put in His sickle, for the harvest has come.

Let's pray: Lord Jesus, as You continue looking for spiritual completeness in the harvest, help me 2 grow 2 full stature, that I may truly represent a planting which has grown up into Your likeness.

... We May Need What We Don't Like

Have u experienced certain things in your life that u did not like at the time, but later realized were needed?

May I share a few things I don't like?
Recently I was driving through a dangerous snow storm going 2 Pittsburgh, PA 2 minister. I don't like snow storms, especially driving in them. Another thing I don't like is big eighteen wheeler trucks flying down the highway, passing me by when I am driving. When they pass u by they can throw stones at your car and crack your windshield.

This snow storm was beating down hard but the roads were well-salted. But, my windshield solvent line had become frozen and my windshield became coated with salt, making it almost impossible 2 see. The windshield wipers only made it worse. I felt dangerously blinded. Then all of a sudden I noticed something. Every time an eighteen wheeler passed by and got ahead of me, its tires would throw water up on my windshield and I could see. Because of the storm there weren't many trucks on the road so I began 2 pray for more trucks on my highway. "Lord, please send me more trucks." When I could faintly see a truck that was way ahead of me, I would speed up 2 catch up, so it could throw water on my windshield. The trucks became my deliverance through the storm.

Another time when I was driving in a snowstorm a huge truck ahead of me was going slower than I wanted. Although the roads were treacherous, I decided 2 take a risk and pass this humongous hindrance 2 make up for lost time. As I began 2 turn into the passing lane, I noticed a huge snow plow in front of the truck and it dawned on me I needed 2b behind the plow or I might never get 2 where I was going. Again, what I didn't like, I needed.

Lord, Why Have Our Troubles Come Upon Us Like an Avalanche of Snow?

Job 38:22, "Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?..."

Again, driving recently in another snow squall, I cried out 2 the Lord, "How could the Apostle Paul say that his and our many troubles are just a 'light' affliction compared to the glory that is 2 be revealed in us. Was Paul crazy? Lord, show me what Paul meant and show me what my struggles and overwhelming problems look like 2 You. How do You see them from Your point of view?"

The Lord responded, "Son, look at just one of those snowflakes! You see it and then it's gone! That is what all of your avalanche of troubles look like 2 Me in the eyes of eternity. They are as light and short-lived as the life of a snow flake. That is what I see."

Corrie Ten Boom, speaking at a conference, kept looking down as she spoke as if knitting something. Near the end of her teaching someone asked her why she was looking down and not paying much attention 2 the people. She held up a tapestry she was doing needle work on. Holding up the side that was frayed and hard 2 make sense of, she explained, "On this side of eternity our lives many times look like this." Then she turned the tapestry over and said, "But from God's eternal point of view, He sees something beautiful and good."

Lord, help us 2 understand that what appears 2b a blizzard of problems is actually a treasury of snow.

Feeding the Soul - DAY 10

 Introduction
=========     A PSALM-A-DAY keeps the doctor at bay; 4 as the body needs food and water 2 live, so our soul needs the same; food and water 2 grow and gain strength. This is the 'balance' of man.  By reading a Psalm-a-day, which only takes a few moments of our time, reaps big rewards 4 our soul realm. We are so desirous of looking good on the outside that most forget there is the rest of us...our inside spiritual man who is starving. Give your soul some food and drink today and watch the Joy of Life return!

PSALM 10 -
=========
A Song of Confidence [Faith is confidence in God] in God's Triumph over Evil -

WHY do You stand 'afar off' O Lord?  'Why' do You hide 'Yourself' in times of trouble?

02  The wicked in 'his' pride persecutes the poor;  Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

03  For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire;  He blesses the GREEDY and renounces the Lord.

04  The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek 'God';  God is in none of his thoughts.

05  His ways are always prospering;  Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;  As '4' all his enemies, he sneers at them.

06  He has said in his heart, "I shall not be moved;  I shall never be in adveristy."

07  His MOUTH is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;  Under his TONGUE is trouble and iniquity [transferrable habitual sinning].

08  He sits in the lurking places of the villages;  In the secret places he murders the innocent;  His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.

09  He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;  He lies in wait 2 catch the poor;  He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

10  So he crouches, he lies low,  That the helpless may fall by his strength.

11  He has said in his heart,  "God has 'forgotten';  He hides His face;  He will never C it."

12  Arise, O Lord!  O God, life up Your hand!  Do not forget the humble.

13  Why do the wicked renounce God?  He has said in his heart,  "You will not require 'an account.'"

14  But You have seen it,  4 You observe trouble and grief,  To repay 'it' by Your hand.  The helpless commits himself 2 you;  You are the HELPER of the fatherless.

15  Break the arm of the wicked and the evil 'man' [person];  Seek out his wickedness 'until' You find none.

16  The Lord 'is' King forever and ever;  The nations have perished out of His land.

17  Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;  You will prepare their heart;  You will cause Your ear 2 hear,

18  To do justice 2 the fatherless and the oppressed,  That the man of the earth may oppress no more. 

The Keys to Overcome Evil!



Julie A. SmithIntro from Julie A. Smith:
On the morning of January 8, 2012 I had a vision of boats anchored at sea, close to shore. Rough storms came that rocked the boats hard, yet the boats were immovable because they were anchored. However, through the storms, some boats lost sight of the truth – that they were safely anchored. They became weary of the storms rocking their boats, and out of utter fear and panic, they pulled up anchor and set out 2 sea. Some thought they would be better off on their own, away from the storms.

What the Lord showed me through this vision:  Don't pull up anchor.  Even in the storms that come your way, u must know that u are anchored in Him. Some have abandoned their path because they chose fear over faith, thinking they are better off to leave the hard, stormy course. God is delivering His people through the storms that come their way. He knows it's been tough, but He's anchored you safely on course the entire time. Don't let fear and doubt come in and cause u 2 get off course. God is saying stay on course where He has u safely secured, and don't pull up anchor with Him.

For several weeks I have had numerous encounters with the Lord instructing me 2 sound the alarm and awaken the warriors! At 5:00 a.m. on January 8, 2012, this commission was confirmed and amplified by an extremely vivid prophetic dream.

As the dream began, I saw myself in my office busily finishing a new book. Suddenly, I was summoned 2 the courts of Heaven. In a split second, faster than u could ever imagine, I was transported 2 stand within the most beautiful, brilliant light, the Living Light of the heavenly courts. Pouring from this radiant, pearl-colored Light came a powerful voice, saying; "Look and see!" 

An Evil Plot Exposed
This was not an invitation but rather a command. Suddenly, my attention was drawn 2 the second heaven, an evil, wicked place where I saw satan quite clearly from a place of perfect peace and protection. What I saw was beyond anything I had previously seen or encountered: satan was forming an evil plot and plan 2 destroy untold millions of people.

The foe of our soul, the devil, was giving orders 2 a principality in a wicked, cruel voice. Although he sounded very sinister, he was nevertheless very excited, declaring: "The time has come!" All Hell suddenly buzzed with expectancy. The principality summoned another demon 2 bring a box that appeared to be a chest, covered with a black vapor. The devil then opened the chest and removed a key, which he then gave 2
the wicked principality. That principality immediately inserted the key into his belly.

With the insertion of this key, an evil door was opened inside the second heaven, making a way for the passage of the principality who began 2 spin his head around so fast that he quickly transformed into a living black cloud, spinning like a tornado. I was stunned by what I saw.

Then the voice from the bright, beautiful, pearl-colored light spoke, saying, "His mission is 2 release the evil hordes upon humanity. Your mission is 2 stop him!"

I was then told 2 follow the evil, spinning cloud. The principality began traveling 2 earth, heading toward a vast, mountainous region much like the Bad Lands of the Dakotas. The spinning cloud landed in a cave on the side of a very rugged mountain. Suddenly I, too, was deep within the cave, which felt like the heart of the earth. Although it was darker than dark, I was surprised that I could see clearly, as if I were wearing night-vision goggles.

The cave reeked with the smell of death. The stench was beyond description, the entire atmosphere saturated with wickedness. Slowly, the cloud began 2 rearrange itself into the form of an evil being standing on two feet, but much different from a man. Its arrival in the deep cave caused a stir of excitement 2 untold numbers of demons who seemed 2b bound by some invisible force. The evil being raised the key that had been in its belly and prepared 2 release these demons of death.

Suddenly, a struggle began that was more violent than words can convey. The principality summoned demonic help and I knew that I must also call for Heaven's help. I began 2 pray loudly in the Spirit. My wife was awakened by my struggling beside her in bed. She had heard me praying in tongues and declaring, "Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy! Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy!" She also heard me saying, "Step! Step!" In the dream, I was shown that the only pathway for returning from this dark place was 2 step into the light. This is the meaning of Psalm 119:105, which declares that Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. During the dream, the Holy Spirit assured me that He would show me each step I would have to take 2 navigate out of the evil fortress of that dark cave.

At this point I awakened. My wife was praying with me during the struggle and related 2 me what she had heard me saying. The following morning, I was amazed when my son and grandsons came 2 our home 2 share some dreams they had also experienced that same night. Their dreams were also extremely relevant for the season we are in.

Call For Heaven's Help
In response 2 the demon hordes now being released upon the earth, we must call for Heaven's help and step into the light! We must sound the alarm and awaken the warriors of God, never forgetting that we are struggling against extremely deadly foes. Paul gives a strong warning and offers specific guidance for us in Ephesians 6:10-20 AMP:

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].


Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Therefore put on God's complete armor, that u may be able 2 resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], 2 stand [firmly in your place].

Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,

Having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.

Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which u can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.

Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).

And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the Good News (the Gospel),
For which I am an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison. Pray] that I may declare it boldly and courageously, as I ought to do.

What is our response to this releasing of the demon hordes of Hell? We are not called 2 live in fear, but in faith, knowing that God has already given us His power (1 John 4:4). We are called 2 stand strong, knowing that our foe has already been defeated. Christ our King is already victorious (Colossians 2:15)! God has already transported us from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light and love (Colossians 1:13)! We have already been given power to withstand the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19) from a position of peace (Romans 16:20).

Do not cease 2 worship the Lord with thanksgiving and praise, no matter your circumstances. Recognize that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Ruler over ALL. After He was crucified at Calvary, Christ Jesus took the keys of Hell and death away from the enemy (Revelation 1:18). And in Matthew 16:19, the Lord Himself assures us of this:

And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.


We have also been given keys, mighty keys, to unleash the dunamis power and unconditional, matchless love of God in the Person of Jesus Christ, to seek and save the lost 2 the uttermost.

Our Keys: Power and Authority
What are these keys that have been given to us? The Greek word translated key in these Scriptures in Revelation 1:18 and Matthew 16:19 is kleis, a word used 2 denote "power and authority." This Greek word is from the root word klei, which literally means 2 "shut" or to "shut up." We have literally been given the authority to "shut" the doors of access to the devil on earth and to "shut" the mouth of the accuser who tries 2 convince us of Hell's victory.

Bind up those evil spirits! Rebuke doubt and unbelief! Bind up the evil hordes who oppress, depress, confuse, defeat and discourage! We have been given the keys to loose the will of God on earth.

Let us pray that the Lord opens our eyes 2 see our position and authority in Christ! The distance between Heaven and earth is gone, forever removed by the Father from His side through the sacrifice of His Son, in whom we are made warriors of mercy, love and truth. Placed in Christ in the throne room, by and with the Father, we have been given His authority on earth! Call forth the heavenly hosts with authority! Step into the light of Christ 2 follow the Lamb wherever He goes!

May these days be filled with the overflowing peace, grace and favor of God 4 u and your loved ones. Amen!

Feeding the Soul - DAY 8

 With A-Proverb-A-Day

The Excellence of Wisdom

DOES not Wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?

02  She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,  Beside the way, where the paths meet,

03  She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,  At the entrance of the doors:

04  "To u, O men, I call,  And My Voice is 2 the sons of men,

05  O u simple ones, understand prudence,  And u fools, be of an understanding heart,


06  Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,  And from the opening of my lips will come right things;

07 For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination 2 my lips,.

08 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;  Nothing crooked or perverse is in them,

09 My words are plain and clear to anyone with half a mind--if it is only open!


10 My Instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold.

11 For the value of Wisdom is far above rubies; nothing can compare with it.


12 Wisdom and good judgment live together, for wisdom knows where 2 discover knowledge and understanding.

13 If anyone respects and fears God , he will hate evil. For Wisdom hates pride and arrogance, corruption and deceit of every kind.


14  I, Wisdom, give good advice and common sense.  Bcoz of my strength, kings reign in power.

15 I show the judges who is right and who is wrong.


16 Rulers rule well with my help.

17 I love all who love me.  Those who search 4 me shall surely find me.


18 Unending Riches, Honor, Justice and Righteousness are mine 2 distribute.

19 My gifts are better than the purest gold or sterling silver!


20 My paths are those of justice and right.

21 Those who love and follow me are indeed Wealthy , I fill their treasuries.


22 The LORD formed me in the beginning, b4 He created anything else.

23  From ages past, I Am. I existed b4 the Earth began.


24 I lived b4 the Oceans were created, b4 the Springs bubbled forth their waters unto the Earth;

25 b4 the Mountains and the Hills were made.


26 Yes, I was born b4 God made the Earth and Fields, high plateaus.

27 I was there when He established the Heaven(s) and formed the great Springs in the depths of the Oceans.


28 I was there when He set the limits of the Seas and gave them His Instructions not 2 spread beyond their boundaries.

29 I was there when He made the Blueprint 4 the Earth and Oceans.


30 I was always at His side like a little child.  I was His constant delight, laughing and playing in His Presence.

31 And how happy I was with what He created--His wide World and all His Family of mankind!


32 And so, young men, Listen 2 Me, 4 how happy are all who follow my Instructions.

33 Listen 2 My counsel--oh, dont refuse it--and be wise.


34 Happy is the man who is so anxious 2b with Me that he watches 4 Me DAILY at My gates, or waits 4 Me outside My Home!

35 For whoever finds Me finds LIFE and wins APPROVAL from the LORD.


36 But the one who misses Me has injured himself irreparably.  Those who  refuse Me show that they love DEATH."

Life Under The New Covenant



Hebrews 8:10 - … I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts…

What laws was God referring 2 when He said, “I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts”? He was certainly not referring 2 the Ten Commandments, known as the laws of the old covenant, since He said that He found fault with that covenant and declared it obsolete. (Hebrews 8:7–9, 13)

The laws that God puts in our minds and writes on our hearts refer 2 the royal law of love (Matthew 22:37–40), the perfect law of liberty (James 1:25) and the law of faith. (Romans 3:27) These are the laws of the new covenant.You live according 2 the laws of the new covenant when u are conscious of how much God loves u. And the more u are conscious of His love 4 u, the more your heart is filled with love. When that happens, u will love God and the people around u supernaturally and effortlessly. That is God writing on your heart the royal law of love — that we love bcoz He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

Secondly, when u know that u are perfectly accepted by God bcoz of Jesus’ sacrifice, u can have the courage and liberty as a child of God 2 come boldly into the presence of your heavenly Father. And in His presence, He is able 2 write on your heart new desires. You will find yourself wanting 2 do the right thing at the right time. You will live life victoriously from the inside out. This is the perfect law of liberty operating in your life.

Thirdly, when u sense what God is writing on your heart and putting in your mind, and as your faith is activated causing u 2 trust Him and His love 4 u, He calls it obeying the law of faith. When that happens, whatever u believe, u receive!

My friend, God has made it easy — and u will find that it is exciting — 2 live life under the new covenant!
