While in prayer, I received a prophetic revelation for the Body of Christ, for America.
While in prayer I was shown Christians spread out across our nation of every color and in every state.
The Lord said, "These are the mighty ones that I have called and chosen to carry my power and my message to this nation. These were given power and mandate years ago and have been hidden away in small places training. They are being called forth now to rise up and be my witnesses. To go forth in power with signs and wonders. To preach my word and boldly proclaim the message of repentance."
I looked at these mighty ones of God and I noticed that many of them were frustrated, and had endured many wounds and hardships. They had been ridiculed for their refusal to compromise the Word of God and many of them were bitter towards the body of Christ, some had given up. Then I replied. "Lord. Many of these are struggling and lack focus. "
The Lord replied, "Each one is being called out now and has 3 years to begin to move forward into that for which I have called them to go and do. I have placed my hand upon them and right now even now I am shaking them to wake up and go forth. If this remnant will go forth and do my will they can shake and turn this great nation. If enough of them do not go forward or wake up then the great inner cities of America will be just as corrupt as Sodom with three decades."
As I looked at those saints of God spread across the USA I realized that many of them had carried God's power on their lives for several decades and had seen people saved, healed and delivered but they were discouraged because it seemed like on every side doors had been locked up for them. Finances had been tied up. Relationships had been broken. Each of these had been stabbed so many times in the back it was terrible to even look at or think about. This group of witness have been lied about, lied to, stolen from, accused falsly, taken for granted and often rejected and misunderstood.
I replied Lord, "Are you saying the fate of this nation rest upon this remnant rising up? " The Lord replied, "Many of them are wounded and bitter and have faced many trials rejections and frustrations. They must overcome these things and rise up."
This word from the Lord moved me. I have also faced the cruel pain of wounds rejections and frustrations. But I am certain that the remnant can rise up in spite of the hurdles that have been faced. Have you been called by God to carry healing? To carry the Word of the Lord? To preach Good news? To Set the Captive Free? Rise up church and be a witness. Don't look for a ministry inside the church house or a building structure. All great awakenings happen on the streets, in a tent, in a barn, out in a field. Rise up Church the time is NOW. God bless.

Be A Part of The Third Great Awakening!
Many people are talking about a third great awakening coming to the USA. God has not shown me that we will have a third great awakening but I hope that we do. What God has shown me is that there is going to be a falling away. Whole demonimations over the next few years (the next decade) are going to fall to heresy, some of them even denying our LORD has come in the flesh, trying to make him out to be like any other prophet or ordinary man. What the Lord is showing me is that he is raising up men and woman around the world who will be WITNESSES to this generation. These people will walk with healing in their hands, praise in their mouths. They will do supernatural signs and wonders, and many of them will ministers to thousands upon thousands on the internet.
There are people right now that you have a calling, but you can't seem to connect with a local church. And when you do connect in a local church, you don't fit in, your ministry is unique and different. IT doesn't fit church protocols. You are like a square peg in a round hole. And because of this you have received a lot of resistance and persecution from the local churches, even from some of your closest friends, I am here to tell you today that you are here for such a time as this.
The witnesses that God is raising up are not people who do pulpuit ministry. They are witnesses that boldly take the gospel to the streets, Person to person. Laying hands on the sick out in communities and villages. Boldly preaching to all nations on the internet, showing signs wonders and miracles. Awakenings have never started or happened in CHURCH houses. They always out in a tent, in a field, in a barn, on the side walk. Do you want to be part of the third great awakening but you just can't find a church house to accomplish this goal. Don't worry my friend. Be salt and light, put a big speaker on top of your vehicle and offer prayer to everyone passing by, before long, a third great awakening will fill your heart and soul!

How Can I Over Come Bitterness?
I was ministering to a man this week and his eyes were twitching as he was saying to me, "I just hate myself so bad." He said to me, "I can't live and I can't die either." He began to cry and I could see the utter torment of his life. The chemical imbalance in his mind has gotten so bad that it doesn't matter how much medicine he takes for it, he gets no relief whatsoever. He told me several things that he knew to do that would help himself get better, but he felt like he was just too emotionally crippled to get up and do those things. What does he need? He needs a miracle. But what stands in the way of the miracle he needs? Unfortunantly his main obstacle is the bitterness that has taken over his life. He is bitter towards God. Bitter towards himself. Bitter towards everything and everyone. Bitter towards life itself. Bitterness has so consummed his life that bitterness is all he can think about or see. How did this bitterness come into his life?
This bitterness came into his life when he began being unthankful and hateful towards people who were helping him. He began getting angry when people wouldn't give him as much money as he asked for. He began getting angry when people didn't jump at his every need and request. He would say things like, "I thought Christians were supposed to help others." The problem was that he had received, received and received help and assistance, and turned bitter the first time he was told, "sorry, we can't help this time." You may be thinking that he has no right to be bitter over things like that, and you are right, but in his mind and opinion he felt he had every right to be bitter.
Do we ever have a 'good reason' to be bitter and hold things against others? No. No one holds this right. We have no right to be bitter no matter what was done, how it was done or how many times it was done to you, no one holds the right to be bitter. Even Jesus, who comitted no sin and was falsly accused asked the Father to forgive those who hurt him. If anyone had a right to be bitter it would have been Joseph, yet, Joseph chose to forgive and refused to hold a grudge. Have you been carrying bitterness? I wish you could have been with me ministering to this man that was so bitter. If you had seen him and his condition, you would get a first hand witness of what bitterness does to damage your soul. Holding bitterness does not hurt others, it only hurts you. Jesus said for us to 'forgive' Today make up your mind that you will not carry the weight of bitterness. My eyes are flowing with tears for this man that I was ministering to who was so bitter. If I could have torn my heart and given it to him, I believe I would have torn it out for him. Everyday miracles happen, and I know that his miracle is at hand, but first he must get rid of that bitterness that blocks the power of God from touching his heart and life.
Are you ready to give up bitterness. Say this with me, "Father, today I refuse to carry the weight of bitterness in my heart. I refuse to carry the weight of holding grudges against another. Today I pray for every person that has injured me, and I ask you to forgive them and restore them to your Kingdom. Lord, pour out your Spirit on my life and grant me a miracle and help me in my weaknesses. In Jesus name. amen.

Rise Up With Wings As Eagles!
We go through life carrying weights that we were never meant to carry. The weight of fears, the weight of worry, the weight on anxiety, the weight of depressions, the weight of hatred, the weight of jealousy. When we carry weights we were not meant to carry we end up fatigued, tired and exhauted all of the time. It makes it impossible to enter into the rest of God. What did Jesus say?
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
God never intended for us to carry the heaviness of this world. Guilt, low-self esteem, failures, abuses, bad memories, pressures to succeed, financial weights, these all add up to heavy weights that will eventually lead our minds to darkness. In the darkness is confusion, uncertainty, doubts, unholy fears, pressures, distractions and the like.
Jesus promises us that He would give us rest, but we must take his yoke upon us. What yoke is that? His yoke is meek and lowly in heart. We hang on to our worry, because we think we want to try to solve our own problems. We hang on to our guilt because we think we can do better next time. Self perservation is the MAIN reason that we hang on to the weights that God wants to free us from. We must take on the meek and lowly yoke of Jesus and refuse self perservation and cast off every weight of this world!
What must we do? With each weight we carry we must make a conscious choice that we REFUSE to carry that weight any longer. When it comes to worry, just say, "NO! I refuse to carry that." When it comes to insecurities, just say, "NO! I refuse to carry that!" Whatever your sorrow, whatever your weight just say, "NO! I will not carry that weight!" If you allow darkness to rule you it will take control of every area of your life. It is time to refuse to carry the weight of this world and rise up with wings as eagles and walk in the light of HIS Glory.

The Lost Generation
In our church we reach mainly unchurched people, and people who once were dedicated to God but let their commitment to him slip away. 80 percent of those we reach were either back slidden and unchurched before we found them. What I have found in teaching the children is that many of the children that come in do not know the basic bible stories. The story of Moses, Noah, King David, Jonah, Joshua...they do not know these bible stories at all. Yet, they know all about vampires, and warlocks, and ghost! They know more about the basics of eastern religions and fighting styles, but many of them cannot tell me the name of even one of Jesus' disciples. We have lost the youth of America through neglect. Some of these children have grand parents that have been in church since these children were born, and yet they never took the time to teach them anything of the Bible in their homes. These kids can explain to me all about the theory of evolution and name all the different dinosaurs and cave men, but they cannot tell me anything about creation and what God made on each day of creation, or that he spoke this world into existence. The Bible says that we should train up a child in the way they should go.
I have heard a lot of talk online about a third great awakening, a move of the Holy Spirit that will awaken souls from their spiritual slumber and turn them to God. I am here to tell you that if we as Christians, churches and parents would just teach the next generation about God, we would see a nation turn to God. We are so busy taking our kids to ball practise, choir practise, soccer games, birthday parties and the like, and we neglect their spiritual training. We teach them to excel in sports but we fail to teach them to obey and to honor God. I have heard so many people complain about prayer being took out of schools. When prayer returns to the home and to the church, it will return to the schools in time as well. The church has failed this nation, and the price of that failure is a generation that no longer knows God. If we want to save the nation we have to begin at home with our children and grand children. If we don't teach them to pray at home, they are not going to pray at school either.
One thing that I have learned in working with young people is that parents seldom allow their kids to become more spiritual than what they are. You have no idea how many times kids have come home fired up from church camp only to have spiritually complacent parents that put a damper on their spiritual fervor. If we would fully commit to God and model that behavior to our children and granchildren and teach them the ways of the Kingdom, revival would be on our shores today.

The Great I Am
Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you.
When God sent Moses to the children of Israel, He said to Moses say unto them I AM has sent me unto you. That means whatever is needed in your life, this is what God is
Whatever you are needing today, God is saying, "I AM!"
Do you need healing? God is saying, "I AM healing!"
Do you need provision? God is saying, "I AM your provider!"
Do you need peace? God is saying, "I AM your peace!"
Do you need strength? God is saying, "I AM your strength!"
What do you need today? Whatever you need God is saying I AM that which you need!
Right now praise God and declare that HE is the GREAT I AM in your life. Whatever you need, where you are right now God is saying to you I AM what you need!

Peace, Joy and Righteousness Come from The Spirit of God
If we are hungry we look for food to eat. More than physical hunger, our soul also should be hungry. When our soul is hungry it craves what we are hungry for and we call that craving passion. Where does your passion reside today? What you WANT to do, and what you NEED to do is DIFFERENT than what your LONG to do. Do you have passion growing inside of you? Jesus said it this way, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matt. 6:21) And also like this: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45)
Jesus talked about finding the 'pearl of great price' He was teaching about the Kingdom of God. What is the Kingdom? Is it prosperity? Is it a specific way to believe or pray? Is it our confession and spiritual practices? The Bible says that the Kingdom of God is within you and comes in the form of righteousness, peace and joy IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17) The pearl of great price in this life is finding inner righteousness, inner peace, and inner joy and this can only be done IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Righteousness, peace and joy comes as we fill our lives with the Spirit of God. If we fill our lives with other things they will not bring righteousness, peace and joy. We often think that better circumstances would bring that inner peace, and joy but this is not true. We can have the best of circumstances and still be missing these things.
How do we obtain the Kingdom of God within us? By being filled with the Holy Spirit. If you do not hunger for the Spirit of God it is time to repent of this lack of hunger and to ask God to fill you with a passion for the Spirit of God in your life. You need the Spirit of God in your life abundantly and overflowing so that you can have the righteousness, joy and peace that you need to live a life of Godliness in Christ Jesus.
Pray with me today: Father God, give me a passion for the Holy Spirit. A passion to have the Spirit of God fill my life. Flood me today with your good Spirit and let the righteousness, peace and joy of the Holy Spirit envelope my soul. For those things that I hunger for that are not of You, Lord, I repent, and I ask you to fill me with the Spirit today. IN Jesus name, Amen.
