Prayer of release

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on July 15, 2018 at 11:59am

“Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God, and the only way to God, that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. I renounce all my sins and I turn to you Lord Jesus for mercy and for forgiveness and I believe you do forgive. From now on I want to live for you.

I want to hear your voice and do what you tell me. In order to receive your blessing Lord and to be released from any curse over my life, first of all I confess any known sin committed by me or by any of my ancestors or others related to me.

(stop and let the Holy Spirit bring those persons to mind)

Lord I thank you that I believe you have forgiven everything that I have confessed and Lord now I want to say that I also forgive all other persons who ever wronged me or harmed me I forgive them all now as I would have God forgive me, in particular I forgive…

(think of them as thoroughly as you can be as thorough as you can)

Furthermore Lord, I renounce any contact by myself or any related to me with Satan or with occult power in any form or any kind of secret society. Also Lord I commit myself to remove from my house any kind of occult objects that honor Satan and dishonor Jesus Christ. With your help Lord I will remove them all. And now Lord Jesus I thank you further that on the cross you were made a curse that I might be redeemed from the curse and might receive the blessing and because of what you did for me on the cross I now release myself from every curse and every evil influence and every dark shadow over me or my family from any source whatever I release myself now in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

Short teaching on the foundation of our faith (ref Harvestime)

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on September 2, 2012 at 4:36pm

THE FOUNDATION

The spiritual foundation of which the Word of God speaks:

IS BASED ON GOD'S WORD:

God's word stands firm like a rock [foundation]; nothing can shake it.

(II Timothy 2:19) The Living Bible

IS A GOOD FOUNDATION:

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation. (I Timothy 6:19)

IS BASED ON RIGHTEOUSNESS:

The uncompromisingly righteous has an everlasting foundation. (Proverbs 10:25) The Amplified Bible

IS ETERNAL:

...Laying up for themselves the riches that endure forever, a good foundation for the future... (I Timothy 6:19) The Amplified Bible

RESTS ON TWO BASIC PRINCIPLES:

But the firm foundation laid by God stands sure and unshaken, bearing this seal and inscription: The Lord knows those who are His and let everyone who names and stand aloof from it. (II Timothy 2:19) The Amplified Bible

The two principles upon which the foundation stands are:

1. Redeemed men:  The Lord knows those who are His.

2. Living redeemed lives:  Let everyone who names himself by the name of the

Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.

IS BUILT UPON A ROCK WHICH IS IMMOVABLE:

He is like a man which built a house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock and when the flood arose and beat vehemently on the house it could not shake it for it was founded on a rock. (Luke 6:48)

THAT ROCK IS JESUS CHRIST:

There is no other rock; I know not any. (Isaiah 44:8) The Amplified Bible

Jesus Christ is the only foundation for spiritual life:

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 3:11)

Stand, fight the good fight of faith, the lukewarm spirt is at your door

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on December 29, 2011 at 9:04pm

Many today think that it is too deep to take time out for fasting and prayer at the end of the year. Many also believe that "it does not take all of that.." when it come to our walk of faith but these are the signs of a spirit that is becoming lookwarm, to put it more seriously, it is an gradual manifestation of spiritual death in a believer.

Brothers and sister this coming year say no to religious status quo: dont just play church, be the Church of Jesus Christ. Fight the good fight of faith, take hold of eternal life. Do not fall prey of the deceptive alternatives of world system. We certainly do not want Jesus to tell us in that day "depart from Me, I never knew you, you who practice lawlessness"

Beware God Will Not Tolerate Rebellion

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on November 9, 2011 at 12:58am

¹² The word of the LORD came to me: ¹³ “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its people and their animals, ¹⁴ even if these three men—Noah, Daniel^[a] and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD.

¹⁵ “Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, ¹⁶ as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate.

¹⁷ “Or if I bring a sword against that country and say, ‘Let the sword pass throughout the land,’ and I kill its people and their animals, ¹⁸ as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved.

¹⁹ “Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out my wrath on it through bloodshed, killing its people and their animals, ²⁰ as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.

Ezekiel 14:12-20

Intimidation, an old trick of the devil to derail us.

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on November 27, 2010 at 3:51am

Intimidation is one of the weapons the enemy is using to discourage the called of God into retreat. If retreat then the Bible says God has no longer pleasure in us. The devil tries to take the authority that we have in Christ by using intimidation to detrone us from our position in Christ. What is that position? we are seated with Christ above Satan, principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places, meaning at least three levels above demons, (so we should be busy commanding demons to go rather than fighting them!). So if we truly know who we are then the enemy cannot mess with us. The old trick he uses is to use intimidation tactics to convince us that he has authority and when we belive that lie then he truly steals that authority from us and on top of that, uses that against us. He did the same with Adam. Adam was the supreme authority over the earth realm and the devil wanted that authority so he used lies to tempt Eve and Adam gave his authority away. Today we must stand firm in the various level of authority positions Jesus gave us otherwise the devil will robb them from us. If you are a parent then stand as the parent that God has called you to be otherwise you will deliver your children to unknown gods. if the husband then stand in the authority of the husband God has called you into or the devil will come in your marriage and establish his rule, if a minister then stand and believe that you can cast out evil spirit, heal the sicks, etc... False humility is when you know God has clearly called us to carry on a mission and we try to give God the "I am not worthy" speach which is actually desobedience. Do not listen to people that the enemy uses to say that because you are pressing toward God's higher calling on your life, you are arrogant or too proud etc ... it is all about whether you are moving in faith or in flesh. If you are moving in faith then you do not have to appologize just keep pressing. The first thing is to check our faith, do we really believe? or do we just talk and no action? Hebrews 11:6 clearly says that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, so are we putting our treasure where our heart is? are we having faith trough our actions? talk is cheap but do we really stand when something we really want is clearly against God's will or do we just assume that God will understand? Let's stand like Jesus did in front Pharisees, the highest spiritual authorities of his time and not be intimidated but believe. God's blessing to you.

The Jehosaphat strategy in time of crisis

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on May 26, 2010 at 6:47pm

2 Chronicles 20:1-30 1 It happened after this that the people of Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat. 2 Then some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar” (which is En Gedi). 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord. 5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6 and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? 7 “Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? 8 “And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9 `If disaster comes upon us-- sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine-- we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’ 10 “And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir-- whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them-- 11 “here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. 12 “O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” 13 Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the Lord. 14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: `Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 `Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 `You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be 4 dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high. 20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.” 22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped. 25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much. 26 And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the Lord; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day. 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. 28 So they came to Jerusalem, with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets, to the house of the Lord. 29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30 Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around

What should we believers do to vaccinate ourself against the virus of apathy, apostasy, hypocrisy and deception?

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on May 24, 2010 at 11:47pm

Lately these words seem to be repeated in my mind in an alarming rythm: "apathy,apostasy, hypocrisy and deception", surely the love of many believers are growing cold, many believe only mentally and do not do anything to live their Christian faith on a day to day basis. Many well meaning servants of God talk about faith as if it were something we should NOT rely on and living a life different from what they preach, some are using biblical techniques to build their own kingdom rather than God's, we see more a "form of godliness, but denying the power thereoff". What as a serious God fearing believers can we do to escape these dangerous viruses ( of

apathy, apostasy, hypocrisy and deception) in our personal lives and churches in this time? There are more to this so I hope you remnants of this generation have some Spirit led counsel for all who are asking those questions seeking to abide and be in the will of God.

Arise and shine!

¹ "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. ² See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. ³ Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. ⁴ "Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. ⁵ Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Isaiah 60:1-5

Apostasy today WATCH and PRAY

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on May 11, 2010 at 11:55am

Apostasy is real, wake up

We are overcomers!

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on February 7, 2010 at 12:00am

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:3-5

Every time the enemy attacks us seeking to kill, steal and/or to destroy us, God uses that as an opportunity to elevate us though our flesh may not like how it feels, the born again spirit is edified, provided we walk by the spirit and not by the flesh.

When we walk by the spirit, our fuel is FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. With this three cord bond we can do all things through Christ.

THE "WAITERS"

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 24, 2010 at 7:00am

There are not many believers, or non-believers for that matter, who have not had to wrestle and strive in the area of patience, long suffering, and endurance. Yielding to the ways of passing time is one of the greatest challenges for our human nature, because we were born of the loins of ancestors, founding fathers, and the patriarchs, way back when time had no measurements, who had constant battles with "waiting". When in situations that we don't, and can't control the speed with which things happen, or don't happen,it is our nature to become restless, nervous, anxious, agitated, worried, vexed, frustrated, apprehensive, dismayed, doubtful, resigned to failure or disappointment, and we lose focus, while losing heart, but more tragically, we regress in our faith and confidence on God. It is through spirits of impatience, which belies actual faith, that many a man has jeopardized and forfeited the very blessings they were stressing over, by presumptuously,getting involved in circumstances they were supposed to be trusting God with, and were testifying of how they knew that God's got it!", or "I know "MY GOD" is going to work it out!" Meanwhile, these same mighty testifiers are searching their minds and the resources of this world to expedite or make happen what they just claimed that they were assured down in their souls, that the Lord" was going to do,and when we supercede the efforts of God to manifest the answer to our petitions, He will graciously bow out, because you've indicated that "you've go this", and you really don't need His sovereignty, favor or power!.The Bible admonishes us to "let patience have her perfect work in you", and so in order to allow her" to do that,we must have a knowledge of what that work is. The bible declares that the "trying of your faith"/patience, is much more precious that gold, and in your patience, strong confidence, and blessed assurance, you "possess your soul"? In other words, when we bring our impatience under subjection to what we say we "Know" regarding God's faithfulness, inability to fail, and His inability to lie, we take back the power to rest in God, and in His promises, that we surrender when we give our souls over to dob, fear, and worry, which will become full grown "unbelief" if we fail to deal with it. Had Eve waited for her husband to join her, or waited to share her encounter with God, Who had kept, provided for, and sustained her up until the moment she wandered out of His presence, and from the companionship and covering of her husband, her mind would've been realigned with the Truth of Who god is, and everything that He says and has promised, and avoided the unfortunate act of disobedience and the birthing of sin that she initiated.Waiting has been an issue for men since time began, and had Sarah "waited" for the Excellent God to bless and fulfill her like He said that He would, she would've saved a lot of people,including an innocent child, much grief,drama, and misfortune. A fact about waiting/patience is that it will always produce something,whether its good or bad, desirable or dreaded, positive or negative, what we hoped for, or what God wanted us to have, but t is always productive. There was a time when we were more inclined to wait for marriage (YES, FOR REAL) before engaging in sexual intimacy, thereby giving birth to legitimate' heirs, and maintaining the solidarity of the family structure God has mandated. Because immediate gratification is one of the strongholds of impatience, we now have a sexually obsessed, ,immoral, single parented, unfathered, partially identified and affirmed, angry, displaced, and unmotivated generation of children! Consequently, we now have thousands of children who are victims of "illegitimacy , plus the need for thousands of disease control centers, and infirmities that are putting us graveside, way ahead of schedule. There was a time when couples waited for the sanctity of marriage, and a "DNA test" would've been a legitimate offense, and no one felt the need to be nervous when taking the pre-marriage blood test! Time, by its very nature is manifesting millions of things within the earthly realm, on down to the smallest millisecond. An expectant mother, at the conclusion of her divinely proscribed term of carrying her baby/babies, produces the seed of another generation,which will, in time, regenerate and reproduce as long as time exists, but she has to 'wait" on the fulfillment of the end of her time of patience. We have no problem waiting for a chicken to fry, a slab of ribs to be grilled, or a red velvet cake to be baked to perfection, and these things will probably no more than, give one indigestion if , by impatience, they are not allowed to cook their full amount of time,but when it comes to those things that can cause us to lift up our eyes in hell, or cause one to be eternally separated from God, those things that will enhance our lives in this terrestrial dimension,those things that will cause us to prosper in our way, and bring God the utmost satisfaction and joy,we grumble, moan, complain, give up, brood, whine, make excuses and become discouraged. Job declared that "For all of my appointed time, I will WAIT for my change"! Did you ever wonder what he did to occupy the time that it would take God to manifest his "change, WHILE BEING CLUELESS OF JUST WHEN THE LORD MIGHT BRING HIM OUT.?" It is what you do while you're "waiting" that determines the degree of blessing you will experience, so learning how to maximize the time, is the wisdom one should seek,so that there's no "dead time" for the flesh to have pre-eminence, filling us with apprehension, doubt, fear, anxiety, double mindedness, dread, and eventually, full blown unbelief, if we don't get in the Spirit with a quickness, while we're waiting. Weve witnessed sisters getting their face together, taking out rollers, putting in contacts,drinking lattes, snacking on a biscuit meal, putting on panty hose and actally getting dressed, while on a teleconference call, pulled up to a red light, while "waiting" for a red light to turn gree! Brothers, we know you know how to wait as well, because you've perfected it while waiting for chow time. You masterfully juggle a couple of remotes while you channel surf,watch three different ball games at the same time, take a power nap, or read the news, so we know you get the principle of productively waiting, too! The majority of "road rage" incidents come about because someone was not in the mood, or of a mind to wait" for the vehicle next to, behind, or in front of them to turn, pass, or change lanes, and they respond in violence. Violence and inflammatory behaviour is witnessed all day every day in theaters, supermarket check out lines, bank lines and even in "church, if word gets out that some first class entertainment will be there, because someone felt that they've waited too long, someone tries to "jump" line, or many other scenarios, and it often erupts into altercations that require the intervention of the "law".The Bible says that "they that WAIT upon THE LORD, shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH, they shall mount up with wings as an eagle; they shall RUN and not grow weary, and walk and not FAINT!" Fainting is one of the adverse effects of doubt, unbelief and impatience,,and if it goes unchecked, the lack of patience can develop into physical manifestations, such as irregular heart beats, hyperventilation, nervous stomach, shaking hands, aching heads, and cold sweats. The Bible also declares that "in your patience, you possess your soul. In other words, if you submit your doubts to the Lord, He will exchange your worn out, useless strength, for brand new mercies, hope, and assurance, and you will retain the governing of your thought, emotions,and reactions to circumstances, by the grace of God. The Bible also declares that hope/patience maketh not ashamed, so the benefits of maintaining a productive 'waiting' posture is well worth the wait.! While you are waiting for the manifestation of your petitions and requests, you should assume a posture of "waiting on", or ministering unto the Lord. You should reflexively, go into Masterful Servant mode, and enthrone Him at your table of abundant reverence, praise and exaltation! You should invite Him to sup with You, because your table is spread with the best that you have to offer, and you shouldn't mind putting on your waiters uniform of meekness, humility, and humbleness. You should wait on Him as if you were the head Maitre D at the most exclusive restaurant in the world, and like He is the most celebrated and revered V.I.P. this world has ever known, because that's exactly What and Who He is! You should approach Him with extreme gratitude, and ",take His order", and find out how He would like His "praise" served, asking Him would He be having a "halal", a "todah", or a "maranatha", and will He be having a side order of "hosanna" with that? You should stand or bow at attention, while He tastes of the spiritual feast you've prepared for Him, as His favored servant and "waiter. Real wise, submitted "waiters/servants" recognize a profound truth, that being that they don't need to be in charge ,or to own the Restaurant to be blessed, because it's those who are actually serving/ministering,, in the thick of things who have access to the "patrons". Many "waiters/waitresses" have had their lives changed while being in the right place, in the right uniform, serving the right people who gave them their dream jobs, opened doors of unbelievable favor for them, or blessed them tremendously. What they learn quickly, and so should we, as a people who shoud've discovered the wisdom and power of "waiting" in the correct posture, that being ,that the BEST WAITERS, get the BEST TIPS,so what kind of "WAITER" ARE YOU?

"IF IT BE GOD!"

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 22, 2010 at 4:23am

One of the most cunning maneuvers the enemy has utilized to divide, distract, set at odds, and conquer those of the Christian faith, is controversy which evolves into malicious debates and bitter offenses over Biblical principles and doctrines that are not geared toward the edification of the corporate Body of Christ, nor the advancement of the kingdom, but rather, it genders strife, 'isms', and it casts a very contradictory and unflattering light upon the very thing that we have altercations about. No one would believe the vast number of hours, the depths of intelligence', and the waste of energy, "wisdom, and knowledge, spent judging a matter before it is time, criticizing what we don't understand, and attempting to disprove and denounce what we haven't experienced. WE INCLUDE LITTLE DISCOURSES AND AFFIRMATIONS REGARDING GOD'S DIVINE PROVIDENCE AND HIS SOVEREIGNTY, AND WITHIN THE SAME BREATH WE PRESUMPTOUSLY DETERMINE "WHAT "IS" A MOVE OR MANIFESTATION OF GOD, AND WHAT IS NOT, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL TRUTH, BUT PERSONAL JUDGEMENT, MANIPULATION OR SEPARATION OF SCRIPTURE, AND INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETATION! For decades and longer, men have gone back and forth over these doctrinal differences and oppositional beliefs with an amazing amount of effort and determination, without putting even one third of the same effort into evangelizing the heathen lands or petitioning God for the uttermost parts of the earth! Should we mature and grow in grace to a point of being sensitive to, hearing, and taking heed to the "right NOW" voice of God, we would find far less time to devote to these activities. YES, we are advised to be watchmen and to try the spirits in situations, but there are some issues that can and should be handed over to the ultimate "Prover, and the "Righteous Judge", FOR HIM TO RENDER HIS DISPOSITION AND FINAL VERDICT while we search and assess our own selves, to see if WE be in the faith, and while we make passionate intercession on behalf of those things, people, and circumstances that 'grieve" us. We must come to a posture of maturity that won't allow us to use doctrinal, denominational, or theological differences as a cover to be disparaging, carnally critical, prejudiced, destructively critical, self righteous, and lacking in the demonstration of pure agape love, compassion, and an awareness that we are admonished to reverence the anointing in, on, and upon every believers life, to agree quickly with our adversaries, and to win many with kindness, while offending, disrespecting, condemning, persecuting, and judging, based on our own standards of righteousness, no one.It has always been man's Adamic /destructive nature to accuse, judge criticize, indict, sentence, and crucify others, and Adam set it off ,himself, when he accused and quickly threw under the proverbial bus" his own "good thing, Eve. Satan was the original accuser and lying wonder, who wrongly accused God, and men have continued in that same serpentine pattern since that day, even unto this present moment. Christ was often criticized, "called out", falsely accused, castigated, and judged, based on His manifestations of being the "Living Truth/Pure Doctrine, a Miracle Worker, and the Son of God. He faced the tyranny and self righteousness of men for boldly declaring His hidden, PRIESTLY and ROYAL "citizenship", and the fact that He had a "kingdom" somewhere, and a throne with His Name on it!. He was brought up on charges by critical, fault finding, narrow minded men, who may have been "learned" and astute in the letter, which 'killeth", indeed, but never coming to the knowledge of the Truth! He was persecuted and condemned for working the will of the One that sent Him, and for doing the "wrong thing"', or doing it at the "wrong time", "wrong place", or rendering His 'goodness/Godliness" to the 'wrong people"! It was His own disciple who tried to "chastise" Him for allowing a former hooker", or what we so creatively describe as a "ho" in these present times, "minister" to Him, and then be even more bold as to be indignant because Christ did not insist that this handmaiden's humble sacrifice of a few drops of expensive "toilet water" , or eau de parfum, be converted into currency for the "'offering plate"!! He was judged for working the wonders He was sent to perform on the day that He had created for His Ownself,but mere men failed to discern that this was THE CHRIST. He was persecuted, beaten, and ultimately murdered for doing, speaking, teaching/preaching the same "NEW THING" that has been prophesied about way back in the Old Testament, and He's still moving that way today, because He's STILL Omnipotent,, Sovereign, and well able to do "what" He will, "How" He will, "When He will", "Where He will", through "Whom He will", and we should rejoice in it! We risk missing the most tremendous moves of God in all of history, by expecting it to come in a certain place, at a certain time, through a certain person, people, or "Type", of people, when His sovereignty and divine Providence is and always has been, undeniable.Even ,the Christ, was accused of demonstrating His great power through the father of lies", Satan! "And He was casting out a devil, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake, and the people wondered. BUT SOME OF THEM SAID "He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils." How ignorant and presumptuous can one be, when He can't recognize the "work/ministry" of his own Saviour/Deliverer, because He's in the form of a "Jew" or any other unorthodox, or unacceptable/unexpected form? How often was He called out to be judged for addressing His Heavenly Father, and alluding to His own divine power, royalty, and Sonship? Whom and how many have we wrongly persecuted, ostracized, condemned, rebuked, scorned, and dismissed because they didn't suit or line up with our theology, perception, or personal doctrine/dogma?As we stand on the thresh hold of very sobering times, because, it is of a certainty, that Christ's return is nearly, imminent, in terms or times and seasons, and it would be an absolute lack of wisdom to continue to scrutinize, criticize, refute, condemn and flog those who're trying to be about the business of "occupying", unti He returns, and proclaiming the "good news" of JESUS CHRIST, seeking His face,and being obedient, even in the midst of severe persecution and disparity, while Satan's kingdom is being supportive of each other, not caring who's teaching/preaching "satan, as long as his name is kept out there, and they are gaining new territory by the second! When Peter and the Apostles were apprehended, punished, and the "righteous" council were of a mind to execute them, there was one man filled with wisdom and wise counsel (thank God it only requires a little bit of wisdom!), who rescued them by declaring thus, Then stood there up ONE in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; and said unto them, "Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do, as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about 400 joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him were dispersed. AND NOW I SAY UNTO YOU, "REFRAIN FROM THESE MEN, AND LET THEM ALONE: FOR IF THIS CONSEL OR THIS WORK BE OF "MEN", IT WILL COME TO NOUGHT, BUT IF IT BE OF GOD YE CAN NOT OVERTHROW IT ,LEST HAPLY YE BE FOUND EVEN TO FIGHT AGAINST GOD!" The Bible further declares that every mans work will prove him, and so shall we be judged. God is not that God that will condemn a man for bringing many unto salvation,and redemption, regardless of mans interpretation and disposition, and consequently, we should choose our battles, not wasting time on proving and defending what Christ has justified, and rather, converting that energy into a more profound "prayer power, and a deeper intimacy with your Advocate, and the "Propitiation" of your sins! Man or Woman of God, IF IT BE GOD, you will stand like a tree planted by the rivers of water, long after your persecutors wither like a bush in the desert! IF IT BE GOD, greater signs and wonders will be evidenced through you! If it be God, the very essence, aroma, and scent of God shall always be on, upon, and around you! If it be God, you will thrive, in times of famine, and go from faith to faith and glory to glory! If it be God, your works will speak loudly and clearly, and undeniably, and it shall be irrefutably the "Lord's DOING, and marvelous in their sight, IF IT BE GOD!

CAUGHT SLEEPING!

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 18, 2010 at 11:38pm

In light of the tragic misfortune of the island of Haiti, many are confounded, floored and in dismay. Many others are attempting to explain, justify, make sense of and determine exactly what the God Israel was saying in the face of such mass destruction, which has left a people displaced, vulnerable, and still 'quaking" even though the tremors from this geological disaster have long since abated. How does one even begin to reconcile such a show of power, when there "appears" to be no "mercy", from the Lord God, Jehovah is known to be a God of great mercy? "And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, "Wherefore hath the Lord done this unto this great city?" At times it shall be that "Then they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.", while other times it may be because those who've been engrafted in as branches of righteousness, through covenant relationship, with Jehovah-God, the Only Wise God, Have become so religious and perfected "churchism", they've excluded Him from their assorted church activities, or have completely "forgotten their "First Love"! Yes, He indeed, has demonstrated His tender mercies that are brand new daily, throughout His dealings with men, but He is the same God, Who has always determined that He won't strive with any man always. There's no need to make a judgement upon those who have suffered such severe devastation, but what wisdom would have us to do is to examine ourselves as individuals, local assemblies, communities, regions, and as a nation,because the Lord has always spoken TO a nation, THROUGH a nation. During the tragic hurricane and consequent flood that New Orleans suffered a few years ago, there was a similar reaction across the earth, and many were appalled, heavy spirited and astonished, but when such calamity is unleashed upon a nation or a people, it reveals the advancing, more imminent return of Christ, Who has assured us that He won't strive with any people,land, or nation always, and He also admonished us to watch AND pray, to pray without ceasing, to pray for all men, and to stand upon our watch, and maintain our personal and corporate watches, with all diligence and perseverance. These calamities are not completely hidden from those who are in tune to the Spirit of the Lord, and they never have been. The Bible says that there's very little done in the earth, that He will not first reveal to His servants, the Prophets, or whomever else has nurtured such a rich relationship with Him, that He can trust them with such "inside" information. This has always been the pattern of God, and it has not changed, and we recognize that wherever great devastation manifests, the Lord has quickened someone's spirit to weep between the porch and the altar, to make petitions on the behalf of those in danger of destruction, and to go to them or be "sent , bearing the oracles of the Prince of Peace, but unfortunately, in times of what appears to be peace, the watchmen are found "sleeping", and lulled into a false contentment and security, because the "Destroyer" has sung or whispered unto them a "lullaby".As we stretch forth our hands of mercy to assist the people of Haiti, we should also be assuming a posture of great humility, humbleness, and appreciation that we yet have another chance to render unto the Lord those things that He has always desired and commanded,and we are so well "Bibled" that we are in the perfect position to actively and aggressively evangelize this nation of people who are lost and forsaken, broken, and without direction. We should be gathering around the altar in reverential fear and adoration,asking Him to search us as individuals, churches, and as a nation, if He has any ought with us, and be about the business of getting it right, and coming into the correct alignment of His expectations, and our assigned mandates. When the Lord speaks "through the fire", He's not speaking to .only those in close proximity of being"charred", or the loss of their possessions, but those neighbors next to them, behind them, and sometimes the whole area may be in danger of fire damage from that one situation. Therein lies wisdom, because every nation should be in a posture of examination, because if we know nothing else, we know that the day of the Lord,and His return is far nearer than when we first believed. There's never been a time when destruction has come upon the land, a people, or a person, when some level of warning was not issued, no mater how subtle. "Smoke" may not always be seen right away, and some smokes are odorless, but nevertheless, it's still a forewarning of fire, and it is a noted fact that most fires break out at night, when the house-hold is "sleeping". Wars aren't ignited overnight, weeks or months, and there's always someone with an inkling" or quickening that things are about to escalate out of control, and the Lord loves us so perfectly that He saturates us with fore warnings, admonitions, and rebukes before He determines that His mind is made up and judgement has been set, because He has always desired that none should perish, and all would come unto repentance. "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it?" Surely the Lord will do nothing but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets." Amos 3:6-7When Christ was about to enter into the fulfillment of His manifest purpose,and began His journey to keep His appointment with Calvary, He was accompanied by twelve of the greatest, and most Apostolically powerful and authoritative "intercessors" in history, Prayer warriors who had cast out many a demon, and stood toe-to-toe with agents of satan, almost daily,during most of their tenure walking with Christ. These weren't your average, run of the mill prayer warriors, but these men of God were trained and equipped by the Chief Intercessor, Christ,Himself. As He ascended up to the place of His greatest wrestling, testing, and anguish, He left word with these fellows that they were to "watch/pray" with and for Him, as He prepared to embrace all the suffering, turmoil, and terror of the whole world, and at this one, infinitely historical, monumental,and divinely pivotal moment in time, they failed Him miserably. At a moment in time, when He so selflessly asked something of them,they were caught sleeping! If ever we needed to be quickened and remain "awake",and have our face to the ground,and our ears toward the heavens, it is now. We are a spoiled nation, rich in the Gospel, the word,and in Truth,but slovenly and lazy in our posture of unending intercession, and seeking God's face. .The voice of the Lord is encircling all that He's created, and He's moving "suddenly", but with great force, and many, beyond number. shall continue to be the victims of mass destruction, if we remain distracted by things that re corruptible, and temporal,and are caught sleeping!

MIA fathers in the church

Posted by Alphonse Okossi on January 16, 2010 at 2:19am

According to a well known author Mark Virkler, "There are six qualities which a spiritual advisor needs to possess. It must be said that believers or spiritual leaders must be supervised and mentored by at least two advisors. The six qualities are: A. That your advisor be a good friend who you can talk to and have an open trusting and trustworthy relationship with. B. That your advisor has a strong and comprehensive Biblical orientation. C. That your advisor receives words, visions and walks in the fruits of the Holy Spirit. D. That your advisor has a commitment to people under his or her pastoral care. E. That your advisor receives counsel from others as you do. F. That your advisor be ahead of you in an area in which you wish to learn about and grow into." Be weary of human covering, people who use their authority to control your life are nether your friends nor can they qualify to be your spiritual advisors let alone covering. Only Christ can truly cover, therefore if someone is "over you" they must show evidence of their submition to Christ. There are many teachers in local churches but not many fathers. Fathers are those who satisfy these six conditions for spiritual advisory. fathers are more concerned with the growth of their children. Good parents pour into their children, they sacrifice resources for the children's growth. They don't consider their children as investments but as those who would carry on a legacy, an inheritance. Inheritance meaning that the father (or parents) must leave something for the children to build on. A good father is also patient with a growing children who tend to make mistakes as they grow. Sometimes the child may run away from home or say something stupid. Don't curse your children but rather give them room to grow. For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 1 Corinthians 4:15 (KJV) Be a father to a growing believer.

RULES OF KINGDOM RELATIONSHIP

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 15, 2010 at 3:31am

Over the past couple of decades the themes of 'SONSHIP", "RELATIONSHIP", AND "DIVINE CONNECTION", have become quite popular, and within the intended manifestation of these principles of relating "as one", fitly joined, and dynamically unified corporate entity, they are all limitless in potential, impact, power and effectiveness. Unfortunately, as with most emerging spiritual "movements',spiritual resurgences of kingdom interest, and visitations, they have fallen short and become perverted in purpose, and even shorter and more lacking in fulfilling their mandate to exemplify the kingdom of heaven here on earth. The very concept of a viable, thriving, healthy, and correctly functioning , mutually edifying and supportive collaboration between the Church hierarchy, Senior/elder leaders, ministries, and associations is awesome when viewed by the purity of it's original assignment, but in present day reality, it has gone "south", much like it's predecessors, because the enemy is present in the birthing room of every advancement that the Lord establishes, so that he can stretch forth his vile and perverse hands to alter, cripple, paralyze, and suffocate it before it can stand tall and powerful, like a tree planted by the rivers of water. There have been a number of God's people with great destinies who were victimized by, or who entered foolishly into these arrangements, who foresook ministry all together. When the principle of "spiritual "sonship" and "fathering" was reawakened some years ago, there was a rush for those seeking spiritual parenting, to yoke up with established, "prosperous' ministries by those who were novices in their ministries, with very little waiting before God to receive direction, directives, confirmation, or His endorsement that this was the move to make, or a release to move on it. Consequently, many were wounded, disillusioned, confused, embittered stalled in momentum, and reluctant, or undesiring to even continue on in ministry. During the same time, a great influx of "Fathering/mothering" exploded upon the Church scene, in which many "elder/statesmen/women' began to seek out budding ministries and kingdom leaders, and approach them with offers to "cover" or parent them, and often, these seasoned leaders were preying upon those struggling to establish firm foundations and the anchoring of their vision, and they were no more than opportunists, merchandisers, and enticers who had selfish motives and plans to gain "increase", and financial prosperity. In genuine kingdom relationships of "sonship" and "fathering", there is an exchange of blessings, and the spiritual parennts sow into the lives and ministries of those whom thry have the oversight over, just as the spiritual "sons/daughters" bless them! Even sadder was that all these things were done under the guise of "RELATIONSHIP", when in fact they were just convenient connections, much like the "networking"/hustling that goes on in boardrooms and golf links throughout the world , over shots of Hennesy" and martinis, where anything goes, and there's much wheeling and dealing, as long as everbody gets what they want, with no thoughts of morality,, spiritual ethics, conscious, or consideration of the possible backlash."RELATIONSHIP" is always established on the principle of "covenant' in which there are mutual agreements to be mutually accountable, mutual respect, consideration, support, and assistance, when needed or possible. In all "relationships" there's mutual "giving, as between natural fathers and mothers and their offspring ( the parents provide for the needs of the children, discipline, guidance,safety, support, instruction, affirmation,counsel and love); and the son/daughter provides respect, joy, and submission, and as they mature, they then begin to provide support, companionship, and even provide for the needs of the parents as they age, in many cases). In the "relationships" between husbands and wives, the husband provides "covering', protection, counsel, companionship, friendship, intimate fulfillment, and he provides for her physical needs, and in turn the wife provides a home, support, the care of his personal needs, support, companionship, friendship, and unconditional spiritual/filial love. In the relationship between 'friends", taking into consideration that there are many tiers of friendship, they, mutually, provide camaraderie, listening ears, support, affirmation, counsel, trust, and love. There are definitive standards that can be used to measure the depth, validity and confirmation of relationships, especially within the kingdom of God, and it is when these standards are not met, or when they come up short, that relationships head in the direction of dysfunctionalism, malfunction, perversion, and being "none" or "counter productive"! The malfunctioning of relationships has existed since Adam compromised his relationship as the "spiritual head" with Eve, and when she left his counsel and protection to receive the counsel of a rattlesnake, and they both perverted and revoked their covenant relationship with God through following after the voice of another. Jezebel perverted her relationship with Ahab when she began to govern their home/lives and disrespect her husband, and Ahab perverted his role when he allowed it. Lot's daughters seriously violated the rules of "relationship" when they entered into illegal "sexual relationship" with him. Reuben violated the rules of relationship when he bedded his father's "wife"! We violate the rules of kingdom relationship all day, everyday, when we embrace other "gods', violate the will and commands of God, and abuse and misuse , persecute, disrespect, and malign,our brothers and sisters, and rebel against the "elders/leadership" the Lord has set forth within the Body. There's a reason that the most intimate contact and experience two human beings can have is also referred to as "having relations", or sexual relationship, and that is because it is done within ( or was intended to be), and is the fulfillment of one of God's highest relationships,marriage.Within the current universal covenant of believers, we still speak of "relationship', and "divine connection", as casually as we raise the offering on Sundays, but let us be clear, kingdom relationship is a sacred covenant, because we, through our relationship with/in Christ, are relating to the portion of the Very Christ in one another. There are RULES of governing and handling these relationships, and when one offends, persecutes, mocks, disrespects, rejects, fails to support, exhort, encourage, edify, and love others within the kingdom, we violate the rules of "kingdom-ship", we risk revoking our "ambassadorship"', and we cause these relationships to become dysfunctional and unfit for the kingdom of God and our privileged assignments. Within the realm of this kingdom environment in which we claim, and aspire to, there are certain things that we should be able to expect from each other, whether it be in the arena of "SONSHIP". 'PARENTING', or basic relationship, things that are no more than our reasonable service and what our ABBA FATHER expects from us. At the same time, there are things that should never become a thought in our minds, we should never say,and even more, that we should never do, or witness being done! In true "sonship", there should never be Absalom-David situations, where the son is trying to discredit and "outrun", or overthrow" the "father"! In "fathering/mentoring", there should never be any manipulation, abuse of authority, and perverting of "prophecy" to dominate and control those "sons/daughters who are submitted under a spiritual Father/Mother! There shouldn't be the proliferation of the "Saul/David" syndrome, where the "father" is trying to destroy his "Elisha" because he's maturing and stretching out in the things of God, and is "preachin' the house down", and finding great favor with the people! When we enter into authentic kingdom relationships or "connections", the objective or motives should not be to expand our possibilities for "engagements" or to form some fraternal exclusive conclave, order, or "spiritual posse", but to band together and reinforce one another's vision, mandate, and purpose because our purposes overlap, and we are only as strong, in part, as we are as a whole! Our kingdom relationships should not be such that one will support someone because they see something carnal to be gained, because it will, potentially open other doors for us, we see the potential for financial gain, or the possibility of going up to "the high places"! You breach kingdom manners when you shun the Pastor,leader to the left or right of your house-hold of faith, located on your same block, because they're not as affluent, or on the same socio-economic status, because they differ in worship, in attire, or in the execution of their vision. You breach the rules of kingdom relationship when you only support those who are within your circle! You are in violation of the rules of kingdom relationship when you see a brother overtaken in a fault, and do nothing to restore him! You violate the rules of good manners when you fail to"cover your mouth" and partake in the furtherance of gossip or slander against another kingdom citizen! You gain another "demerit" when you see a co laborer overwhelmed,spiritually 'whipped", and near death, and you just shake your head in pity, and step over them as you go on just "preaching yourself silly"! You despise the "rules" when you take up the offense of another, against someone who's done you no harm and don't even know! You are in grave danger of judgement for violating the rules of mishandling God's son's and daughters through seduction, deceit, lying, spiritual fraud, and malicious gossip or slander. Men of God, you need to take a remedial course in kingdom ethics, if you know you're guilty of prowling for "prey" amongst God's handmaidens! Handmaidens of God, get it together if you know that you are strutting through the kingdom, trying to see whom you can bring down to your bed of whoredom! The rules state that you are obligated to 'walk worthy", "WALK IN THE SPIRIT", "give no appearance of evil", and "possess your body, unto honor"!The rules of kingdom relationship require that if you are going to truly manifest it, " the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak.", "one shouldn't fall for the other", that we "forsake not the "ASSEMBLING TOGETHER", and not just the local assemblies! The "rule" require that we love through 'demonstration", and not just verbalization! The rules require that when we see someone in need, that we don't just send them on their way with a string of emotional (shon-does), but that we do something tangible, as much as we are able. The rules say that we can not have "exclusive" little clubs within the household of faith, where only a select few are welcome, and that there be no favoritism. Much of what we have witnessed as "kingdom ministry" is not even remotely related to the kingdom, but rather the activities of someone's "empire" they've established to self-govern, dictate, administrate, and orchestrate. In empires, there's no theocracy, but the biased doctrine of "men", and the people perish. While we are petitioning the Lord to let His kingdom come on earth,even as it is in heaven, we' d better recognize that with the earthly administration of His kingdom,comes heavenly, divine reckoning and judgement,and that judgement must first begin in His "house/kingdom"! There's a simple method by which you can determine whether or not you're in compliance with kingdom rules.........take a moment and think hard, and ask yourself "WHO IS MY KING?" Tags:Share Twitter

VOLUNTARY INCARCERATION!

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 9, 2010 at 5:11am

One would be hard pressed to find an individual who would surrender their freedom, choices, and safety, to sit in somebody's jail or penitentiary. We go through our whole lives making sure that we never become residents in one of these "paid extended vacations", in a hotel from hell. Now, of course we know about those who spend so much time in one of these diabolical 'resorts' that they become institutionalized and dependent upon the penal system to dictate their lives. These are the ones who are caught in a cycle of severe dysfunctionalism of their own making, that of "imprisonment-release-re-imprisonment, and the reason being that society and what was once familiar to them, has changed so drastically, that the thought of being released into the free world is intimidating and overwhelming for them, so they do something stupid to be incarcerated again.There are others who've come to prefer and settle for a life of daily risk of abuse, violence, and, even death, for the legendary "three hots and a cot"! They've so adapted and disciplined themselves to being known only as a "number, and not their given names, until living in this horrible condition becomes 'normal" and acceptable to them, because it relieves them of the responsibility of independently laboring to make a life for themselves. There's absolutely nothing enticing by sch an existence, and only those who are seriously 'special", if not 'deranged' choose this way f life. Those who established the penal system designed it to be so terrible and terrifying that it would be a deterrent to those released,to not ever find themselves there again, and to also deter those who're leaning towards getting a"suite", in one of their nightmare "resorts" , or finding themselves on the wrong side of the prison walls. Who, in their right mind, would volunteer to jeopardize their safety, liberty, and life to "vacation', in this barbaric, evil, jungle-like environment, where there's no guarantee you'll come out of it alive, whole, or in the same condition you went in ? The very concept of incarceration should be an abominably undesirable prospect for anyone, but that's not always the cost, but in some situations, had not ht individual been imprisoned, another fate would've overtaken them, and it's actually a rescue. Unfortunately for a number of God's servants, incarceration is one of the "hardnesses' they have to endure for the sake and furtherance of the Gospel. The Old Testament Prophets found themselves frequently, as guests in some dungeon or prison,and so did the New Testament Apostles and disciples of Jesus the Christ. There were also, numbers of God's people incarcerated during the Civil Rights movement, and others on the foreign mission fields face these circumstances, daily and they count the cost to preach the Gospel in the uttermost parts of the earth, and determine that it's a worthwhile sacrifice, and their posture is that of being persuaded "If I perish, I perish!"It is one thing to be arrested by those who uphold the laws of the land, and left with no choice but to comply, but to boldly hold out one's hands to be handcuffed is the response f one sold out for whatever they believe. The Apostle Paul found himself in jail,so often that it became par for the course for him, and he as so persuaded that Christ, his Advocate would sustain him, that he counted his own like loss, and declared "To live is Christ but to'die" is gain! He became so committed in his assignment to build the Church of Christ and to spread the Gospel, until he walked in a dimension of awareness that these earthly confines are not the home of his real citizenship. Paul was a man of such gratitude that the Lord rescued him from a life that was polarizing him towards hell more each day, that he made up and settled in his whole heart, mind, and soul that " It's for Christ I live, and for Christ I die'. His incarcerations were legendary,and if his jailers had had any wisdom, they would've left him, Peter, and Silas alone, because every time they imprisoned them, something dramatic and extraordinary occurred. When the Prophet, Agabus, ministered to Paul through prophetic illustration that "bonds/captivity' awaited him, he responded thus "What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound only, but also to DIE at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus." This is the posture of a genuine disciple, who has set their vision upon the real, mark and the prize, and in these last days, many will be faced with choosing to drink from that cup of bitterness, or serving God by way of convenience with no demonstration of willing to be made a sacrifice, or advance the kingdom of heaven no matter the cost. This patriarch was a study in what it means to really be 'sold out" with a fixed heart, and he testified "I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that should befall me there; save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. "But none of these things MOVE ME, neither count I mt life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy."There comes a time when we have to "arrest" ourselves, voluntarily,and to unselfishly step into bondage, the bondage of being a "prisoner for Christ"! As we o on to perfection, putting away childish things, we should willingly become P.O.W.S (prisoners of his Word, prisoners of wisdom, and prisoners of his will)! In arresting ourselves, we are forced to assess our walk with God,and measure our obedience to whatever mandate we've been assigned. Voluntary incarceration qualifies us for resurrection power, and the rescue executed by Christ, Himself, and it dilutes and neutralizes any power through threats of imprisonment, because we place ourselves under incarceration, in Christ and that 'prison' becomes our hiding place in Him.WHEN we voluntarily imprison ourselves, we become prisoners of hope, through demonstration that "live or die' we're going all the way with, and for Jesus! In assuming a posture of incarceration, we diffuse the power of chains, shackles and all other bondage in our lives, because we are freed from fear and anxiety. When we find ourselves overly discouraged, emotionally on edge, and shifting in our posture of steadfast hope, peace, and easily distracted from our walk with God and our kingdom assignment, we need to place ourselves, voluntarily, under arrest. Yes, we are admonished to be not entangled with the yoke of bondage, but being bound to God, to His divine will and purposes is one of our greatest weapons against the enemy. Now would be an excellent time for you to present yourself for voluntary incarceration, and gladly enter into the prison of His love, and to let your enemies know that you're a "convict', so you've got to be careful of whom you associate with. Let them know that you arrested yourself, on purpose, because You avoided extradition, by the One to Whom you're bound! Tell them that you're aware that the prison doors were opened millenniums ago, but you, being of the mind of Christ, are choosing this imprisonment, because you're bound to his promises, and captivated by His love. There's no need to shy away from this prison sentence, because you've been sentenced to "LIFE, eternal, and that more abundantly"!" Tags:Share Twitter

DEATH OF A "CIRCUS"!

Posted by Prophetess Marilynn Brignac on January 5, 2010 at 9:21pm

As we shake the confetti out of our hair,and recover from our time of fasting and "seeking the face of God" for our personal lives, ministries, businesses, and family relationships, one of the major areas of consideration, meditation, and supplication, is the religious avenues that we all walk, if we stake a claim to salvation, and having a portion among the "sanctified", and "the called" according to His purposes! Maintaining that same line of thinking, it stands to reason, that there won't be much argument that we have been "entertained", "wowed", and "amazed", clean out of the Spirit, at times, by those who are trained, skilled and savvy in "spiritual vaudeville", and the duplicating and replicating of the divine, sacred wonders of God, or who have mastered delusions (STRONG ONES), ad illusions, much like the prophets of Baal, whom the man of God, Prophet Elijah, stood toe to toe with! Many of our "revivals", "Prophetic gatherings",and "conferences", have taken on the same essence of a "three-ring circus" with all the fanfare, the much celebrated "ring masters", the assorted "fire-eaters", "sword-swallowers", "bearded ladies", and "gentle giants"! Ministry ha been replaced with "showmanship", and prideful demonstrations of "come see a man, and what he can do"!,and the actual, factual, "blood bought" anointing of God, has been substituted or abominably "mixed" with rancid oil, perverted essences, and illegal "pharmakeia", (the mixture or formulas of the anointing oil, spiritually, and naturally")! The anointing is no longer relied on, nor suffered for, and in it's place, we find "snake oil", "ammonia remedies", and a number of other unbiblical "prescriptions", and "remedies" for what every believer should know that only the Blood of the Lamb, and the power inherent in the Matchless Name of Jesus, can cure, handle, remedy, or "fix"! It is of interest o note, that whenever Christ or the disciples were on their circuit, (not CIRCUS) doing the work of the Father, and the kingdom, the only P.R. or "media" fanfare used was the "word of mouth" testimonies of those who had been in His/their services before, and witnessed their power, effectiveness, and authenticity, and even then, Christ often admonished that the people keep silent, and not broadcast His presence, His miracles, or His location. He never "double checked" with those receiving ministry, to have them assure anyone that what they'd just said or done, was correct, and "on the money", or that they had "hit the nail, right on it's little narrow head"!!2010 will show us, without, argument, or doubt just what God thinks about most of what we've offered up to Him as our humble, reasonable service, and He will do so by spewing it right back at us, or upon us, so that we may experience how He feels when we deviate from true sanctification in ministry, and rely on sacrilegious, compromising, and sometimes even, demonic, influences, to "fill the building", secure a maximally profitable "head count" and "flesh out" our wallets! God's of a mind, that everything DONE IN HIS NAME, shall be DONE BY HIS SPIRIT, and not for riches, prestige or fame! He's about to send a heavenly "wave of remembrance", that HE, indeed, IS THE LORD, and Holy in all of His ways, and nothing shall be done, or said presumptuously, in His Name, and men will no longer casually, assemble the people of God together, to "bewitch", "dazzle", or manipulate their minds or purses, under the guise of it being something consecrated, and spiritually beneficial, that HE has sanctioned! Those who are guilty of performing as "ringmasters", and disdaining the people of God, calling them "fools", or idiots, in the back rooms, and offices,have forgotten that not only is He Omnipresent, and Omniscient, but He is also "ALL HEARING", and He's yet trying the hearts of men, including Apostles, and Prophets, and whomever else may have fallen into such a pattern of deceit, because it's "lucrative"! In this New Year, there's nothing, unthought of, untried, unsaid, or never done before, no matter how we may try to "tweak it", improve upon it, or update it, because "Game has always been game", and "hustling" has always been "hustling".! Jacob, came into the worls with a name, that identified him as such, and we all know where that got him, until he had an encounter of God's "wave of remembrance"! Out of all the promises, predictions, and assurances we've prophesied, declared, and decreed, we can not omit the chastening of God, and the other matters that are on His heart and mind, and we can not neglect the warning. and admonishments of the approaching "chastening", if we be who we say we are! Part of being processed in ministry is reaching the appointed place of recognizing that God loves the TRUTH, and if we love one another, we OWE them the TRUTH! Truth is exactly what shall arise from the ashes of the death of these "circuses",and men shall reverentially fear God, again, and think "twice", and a third and a fourth time, before daring to attribute any utterance, or rendering any service in His Name! Never has there been such an evident absence of Godly fear, and such great arrogance, and presumptiveness, but He''s reawakening some truths that have grown a little dusty from disuse, and He will begin by sifting through the Corporate Assembly of leaders, and disqualifying, weeding out, and shutting down the "ring masters"! His Word has declared "Oh, that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people and go from them, for they are an assembly of treacherous men! and they bend their tongues like their bow for lies, but are not valiant for the truth upon the earth, for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord"! Take ye heed, every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant. And they will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity! Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, saith the Lord!" Therefore, thus saith the Lord of Hosts, "Behold I will melt them and "TRY" them! ... Shall I not VISIT them for these things, saith the Lord, and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation?"This matter of "charlatans", and "star gazers", and other assorted "circus acts" is as old as dirt, and God has seen fit om address it many, many times throughout history, because when executed in integrity, purity, and under the blood washed anointing of God, these same gifts can bless the people of God tremendously, and bring immeasurable glory , honor, and reverence to His Name, as well as to the ministry of Jesus Christ,but it's no secret or mystery , that there's a counterfeit and abuse, for everything legal, and genuine, and someone looking to prostitute it, if there's even the hint of some sort of gain. "Gucci, Fendi,and "Coach" were not the first victims of "knockoffs"! He has admonished us that "There shall not be found among you any one that useth enchantment,, observers of time, wizards, witches,charmers, consulters with familiar spirits, necromancers (be careful about folk ministering to you about the "dead"), for all that do those things are an abomination to the Lord., and because of this, He will drive them out from before thee! 'THOU SHALT BE PERFECT WITH THE LORD THY GOD!" I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and I WILL PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, AND HE SHALL SPEAK UNTO THEM ALL THAT I COMMAND HIM!" BUT THE PROPHET WHO HALL PRESUME TO SPEAK A WORD IN MY NAME , WHICH I HAVE NOT COMMANDED HIM TO SPEAK , OR THAT SHALL SPEAK IN THE NAME OF ALL ODS, EVEN THAT PROPHET SHALL DIE." And if thou say in thine heart, "How shall we know the Word which the Lord speaketh?" "WHEN A PROPHET SPEAKETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, IF THE THING FOLLOW NOT, NOR COME TO PASS, THAT IS THE THING WHICH THE LORD HATH NOT SPOKEN, BUT THE PROPHET HATH SPOKEN PRESUMPTOULY; THOU HALT NOT BE AFRAID OF HIM!"Even when things do come to pass and there is truth in what the "ring master" may speak, you must still have the mature wisdom to TRY EVERY SPIRIT, AND SEE IF IT BE OF GOD, because remember, at the "circus" over at Mt. Carmel, where the Sent Man of God, Elijah, exposed the false works and false miracles., the "wonders of demons", of the "prophets of Baal"! Elijah arranged this particular "Barnum and Bailey" display, so that it could be "killed" by a single move of the sovereign God, and Ahab, the "ring master", came with circus "acts",and "performers", 450 strong! Recognizing that it was the nature of men, to be drawn to "entertainment", and things that appealed to the flesh, he questioned them "How long shalt ye be between two opinions?" If THE LORD BE GOD , FOLLOW HIM, IF BAAL, then FOLLOW HIM! And the people answered him not one word, not a single word of testimony of all that God had done and been to them, just like some testimony services today! The circus master brought out all of his secret weapons for this gathering, because the control over an entire nation, (congregation, denomination, assembly) was at stake, and it was decided that the determination, of Who the True and Living God was, would be done by a trial of fire, not knowing that He is the Lord, Who is an All Consuming Fire! As they set the stage for the "GREATEST ACT EVER", next to the :RESURRECTION", they began to realize, that Elijah, being the truly Sent One of God, didn't need a sack of tricks, illusions, magic acts, disappearing "bunnies", suddenly appearing "doves", or trained dogs! Even those skilled illusionists who were famed in eating fire, were not able to contend with the FIRE OF GOD, or His dunamis power in the hands of His man of God! They became so vexed, and agitated, that they seriously upped the ante,and began to cut themselves, "till the blood gushed out upon them." As the story played out, the circus acts, and ring master, tried every trick they knew to achieve the upper hand , and make Baal "God, but all they got for their effort was perhaps, "stitches", and some serious " anemia", because there's always been only One Elohim, and El-Elyon, one Only wise God, Omnipotent, Lord of ALL. Elijah gave them every possible advantage, and created a situation in which it would require an absolute Jesus miracle to pull it off, and no one would be able to deny it. Needless to say, that's one "circus" , and a troupe of circus acts that the Lord, Himself shut down, and dismantled, and it "died, literally, because everyone of those "acts" was murdered, and there was nothing they had in their bag of tricks that could help them, and after they were eliminated, the people returned to the God of Israel, acknowledging that "The Lord, HE IS GOD!", "THE LORD HE IS GOD!" Elijah was mindful to petition the Lord, in humility, before he attempted to carry out that particular assignment, and I'm sure, all others, by acknowledging him, and his dependency on Him to do all things and anything "Let tit be known this day that Thou art God in Israel,and I am Thy servant, and I HAVE DONE ALL THESE THINGS AT "THY" WORD!" "HEAR ME ,O LORD, HEAR ME, THAT THIS PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW THAT THOU ART THE LORD GOD!". He never once, asked God to move in the phenomenal, so that men would know that he was a "prophet", but rather that they know he was His servant!It is the way of men, to hunger after the supernatural, the "awesome", the "mystical", the "strange", the "unexplainable",the "spooky",and yes, even the "weird", so it's not a wonder that "circuses" continue to thrive in this time of advanced entertainment options, and sophistication, even in the "church" setting. People are yet drawn to the mystical, and the mysterious, and just as in a typical "circus", they are willing to pay hefty "admission" prices for the privilege! What they fail to comprehend is that whatever spirit you are drawn or enticed by, yield to,or seek after, is what you're, eventually, going to be accommodated by, entertained by, "tricked" by, "hypnotized" by, and left in poverty by! A circus can not survive where there're no paying customers,and some towns forbid them to set up in their communities. Herein lies wisdom! While God, prepares to, sovereignly "eulogize" these circuses, you can do your part by "starving" them out! Well, watchman, what sayest thou of the night?!

Watchman what of the night?" Watchman what of the night?" has been the inquiry,and curiosity of the people of God for eons and millenniums,and has come to a point of refinement in this present Church Age, as they run hither and thither in search of the divine utterance and oracles of God. This is especially, seasonally, true as one span of a calendar year transitions into the advent of the next, BUT THANKS BE UNTO GOD THAT, THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT UNDER THE CONSTRAINTS OR LIMITATIONS OF MERE 365 DAY INCREMENTS OF TIME AND CYCLES! There is always an utterance from the Lord for those who've nurtured an intimate relationship with Him,and who are sensitive to every nuance of His divine,sovereign ways, and His movement. God speaks,even through His "silence"! He speaks through creation,and all that He has created,even as He speaks through the elements, the seasons, and what we know as "nature"! Yes, that's Him speaking through,and by, the movement and unction of His Spirit, in and out of the sanctuary, if men have AN EAR TO HEAR WHAT THUS SAITH THE LORD,GOD OF ALL HOPE,AND THE ONLY POTENTATE! God speaks in no greater measure, or with no greater fluency at the advent of the New Year,than He does throughout the year, but there' something about the last six hours of the year that compels the people of God to faithfully gather to worship and listen intently for some directive, exhortation, or "SAYING" from the Lord! Is there a WORD from the Lord? Absolutely, if there be a seasoned, yielded, unbiased ear to hear, as the Spirit of God speaks expressly, the heart and mind of God!We,as theologians, teachers, expositors, and preachers of the Word, have done quite well in introducing and imparting wisdom regarding the "kairos" time of God,but have neglected to do the same, with it's partner, which is"location",and that is a point of truth and principle that we can not afford to neglect, because the two elements go hand in hand. We, as kingdom people must labor to demonstrate integrity in the observance of timeliness, and punctuality, being where we said we'd, be and where we need to be, where we've been assigned to be, doing exactly what we've said "YES!" to. To be one second off in the kairos time of God, can disqualify one from being on the "guest list" of the Lord, to receive the blessing of the blessed place. If one has petitioned the Lord to "stop by",and have an expectation that He will show up, it would be rude, and irreverent for us to not be there,and it would be counter productive,as well, because He may have come, moved, and blessed in that expanse of time that you were absent, and still "on your way to", showing your face in the place. YOU NEVER KEEP A KING WAITING,ESCPECIALLY THE "KING OF KINGS! This place of blessing has a name,and it is called the "PERFECT WILL OF GOD"! WE'VE BEEN WARNED ABOUT BEING IN THE "WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME, but within the kingdom, it's just as bad to be in the "right" place at the "wrong" time! David stated it best when he uttered "Where can I flee from the presence of the Lord, because if I ascend unto the heaven, heaven is His throne, and if I should make my bed "in hell", He's there also! Adam was our first example of being displaced, misplaced, and at the right place at the wrong time. The Bible declares how the Lord confronted Adam's location by asking "Adam,where art thou?" Having an understanding that the Lord is Omnipresent,and Omniscient, "All knowing",and "PRESENT HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME, we know that the question was strictly rhetorical, and in asking, he was calling Adam's attention to the fact that he'd stepped out of the blessed location, which was abiding in His presence day and night, and engaging in uninterrupted fellowship and communion with God, (the right place), to locating himself out of the will of God,and into the presence,and under the influence of Satan. Adam was in the absolute and ultimate "right place", in the garden of Eden, but undeniably, he relocated to the "cursed place", by yielding to temptation, and failing to keep his compass, pointed towards the direction of God's perfect will, and his blessed location. One is likely in the "right place" at the "wrong time", if you find yourself, serving faithfully, in all humility and submission in the household of faith, but under Pastors whose character has not been proven and perfected, who are not nurturers, who don't love the flock of God as Christ did, and in need of deep purging and deliverance from the very things they are trying to direct and instruct others in. It may prove to be the right place and wrong time, because under such leadership, your destiny will most likely be delayed, if not aborted. It might be the "blessed location" for whatever reason, to others but not for you, because the Lord has established and determined another location for you to apprehend your destiny and blessings! Herein lies a Word for someone else, never follow a "revival", a "man", or a "movement, but follow the GLORY! In many marriages, which are honorable to God, far too many people find themselves, yoked to husbands/wives who have not been processed in to being Godly spouses,and had they done so, their circumstances might have unfolded differently, but instead, they move out of season, out of location ( because many marriages are no more than God's permissive will, but not His perfect will), and in the right place (matrimony), but at the wrong time, and likely, with he wrong person! The man who had been infirm for 38 years, and in bondage to his misfortune, set his spiritual compass on the the pool of Bethesda, all those years, and it obviously was a location of blessing for others who were experiencing great miracles,but not for him, until Jesus showed up that final year he made the journey, and had pity and blessed him with the miracle had' been seeking for nearly four decades! The man of God, and great Prophet, Elijah told his protege', Elisha, that if he was in the blessed location when he left this earth realm, that he would receive the double portion of anointing and power that he requested, and Elisha made it his business to follow that glory, and receive his blessings!Many are of a mind to believe that Christ should not have been born in some obscure location and laid in an humble little manger, but the Christ Child, was in exactly the right, true,and blessed location, to begin and seal the beginning of His journey, towards the ultimate redemption of men, and had Mary and Joseph been allowed to check into the Ritz Carlton, or even the local "Motel 6", where they keep the light on for you all night, they would have left behind a paper trail, that would've led King Herod's henchmen, directly to their "suite" or room. Had the Magi, not followed their navigational system, and located the North star,they would have missed the opportunity to be the first to bring gifts to the Newborn King,and carry the testimony of His advent! Someone should be encouraged by this revelation, and know that they should not despise their temporary obscurity, and the fact that they are often ignored, neglected, rejected, ostracized, looked over, ridiculed,and passed over,because there's a guaranteed reversal,if they maintain a posture of brokenness, and humility! They need to know that the Lord is there supervising , and setting up their greatly profound testimony of deliverance and intervention, as He readies them to be propelled to the fore front, endorsed as the head and not the tail, ABOVE ONLY AND NOT BENEATH, and have their feet set upon a rock! Despise not the day of "small things", Beloved! Mary and Martha had to get a revelation of Who Christ really was, and how far reaching His power was/is,,when they accused Him of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time", because they told Him had He been where they were when Lazarus lay dying, he wouldn't have died, but the truth, is He was in the precise "right place"to establish the testimony that He is the Son of God,,and that His Word was SENT to heal our disease. They felt that his location should've been amongst the dying, not realizing that, in their case, He was not sent to manifest as Jehovah-Rap-ha, the Great Physician, but rather as Someone even more stupendous, the RESSURECTION and THE LIFE! When Ruth was blessed, mightily, to receive her husband/kinsman redeemer, Boaz, she wasn't hanging around the local palaces like a "gold digger", but she was discovered on the threshing floor,"occupying" until her change came . Because she received the directive from her mother-in law,regarding where her blessed location was, and didn't hesitate to obey, she found herself elevated and blessed, from her place of utter humility, brokenness, and submission, she received great favor,and the greatest blessing of all, as being in the lineage of Jesus, the Christ he could've resisted, rebelled, and stayed in her location of being husband less, uncovered,and the companion of an old woman,just as many cantankerous, stubborn, foolish, women do, who feel that "A DIVA LIKE THEM", doesn't have to sleep outside on the ground, by some man's smelly feet ! It never occurs to them that the "blessed location" doesn't necessarily "look" like a blessed location, and they risk living out their lives as contrary, miserable spinsters. Ruth didn't have to play the harlot and or approach the man flashing thighs and cleavage, and her humbleness, and surrender worked , marvellously, to her good.No one would've ever believed that Golgotha was the ultimate blessed location,,but it was, because for Christ, it was the location He had already been gravitating towards, to complete His earthly ministry and fulfill the purpose for which He came, and for us, it was here we were afforded a way of escape, and a right to the tree of Life! Who would've imagined that the "PLACE OF SKULLS, would prove to be the blessed place for the malefactor who hung on a cross, and shared the extreme suffering and agony of Christ? This man was a proven sinner and repeat offender, incorrigible,and sentenced to a fate that the had earned, but in that brief encounter with the Lord, in his dying moments, the Lord promised him that "Today, thou halt be with me in Paradise"! Who's to say that this man would've ever received Christ or His kingdom, had he been encountered at some other time,situation,and location? Should Christ crash trough the heavens now, where would your location be? Just as no one would've even thought to chart their course or "GPS" (God's Plan of Salvation) to Calvary, most of us still can't embrace the fact that often, "trouble", and Gethsemane" are the blessed locations, that will compel Christ to hasten to us, and fill us again, with greater measures of His Holy Spirit! Will you be located in the blessed place of His perfect will, or will you be found jockeying for elevation, recognition, and position? Will you be located over on "Compromise Blvd., where you're catering to "numbers", and unwilling to obey God, even if it offends some and compels them to go elsewhere? Will you be found in sin and error, coasting along, because someone has persuaded or convinced you that "God understands ,and knows your heart, with no wisdom to shun hell? When you dial 911 , because of some emergency or crisis, they usually ask "Where's your location,,Ma'am/Sir, but you will never receive the help you need, if you've fallen off the radar, and can't locate your own self! If you are lost, displaced, or unsure of where you are, in God,or in your walk with him, you can begin remapping your destiny, getting back on course, and synchronizing your spiritual navigational systems, with the heart and mind of God, to ALMOST THERE! Where!? THE BLESSED LOCATION! Tags:Share

I do nothing by myself so do the same

Posted by Jesus Christ on January 1, 2010 at 9:30pm

I DID NOTHING ON MY OWN INITIATIVE BUT ONLY IN OBEDIENCE TO THE FATHERThen answered Jesus and said unto them,Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.I can do nothing on My own initiative As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.THEREFORE FRIENDS EACH OF YOU MUST ONLY DO WHAT I TELL OR COMMAND YOU TO DO OR WHAT YOU SEE ME DOING."But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.The HOLY SPIRIT IS IN YOU SO YOU ARE ABLE TO DO WHAT I DO IF YOU BELIEVE AND WALK BY FAITH.
