But one who prophesies is helping others grow in the Lord, encouraging and comforting them. - 1Corinthians 14:3 NLT
words to strengthen / words to encourage / words to offer comfort

Don't let discouragement get you

During worship today I heard the Lord say, “Don’t let discouragement get you.” I thought this was an interesting way to put it. Usually one would say, “Don’t get discouraged.” But the Lord very clearly wanted to instruct us not to let discouragement get us. It’s like discouragement is pursuing us and ready to overtake us if given the opportunity. Instead of becoming discouraged, the Lord wants us to be encouraged. We need to encourage one another, and we need to encourage ourselves in the Lord our God. Remember the story of David in I Samuel 30?

One company of prophets

Prophesy, prophesy… Gentile prophets in the wake of their Jewish counterparts. In the shadow of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, Elisha; of Israel. A kindred bond unites this company of prophets through time. To forsake their influence and negate the tie that binds is to cut off your hand, your foot, and gouge out your eye. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10). The crimson thread, the testimony of Jesus, begins in Alpha and is fulfilled in Omega. It is as I AM. The prophet, Jew or Gentile, is the mouthpiece, the figurine of my bidding.

Title: WOW Subtitle: WOW

The weight of the glory of the Lord was so heavy at church last night. When Pastor began to proclaim that each of us has a high calling of God in this day, the Spirit of God overwhelmed me and my body felt like it was 20 degrees hotter than usual. And His glory stayed, so I stayed, until finally the place was almost empty. Even then, I could hardly make it to the car. I don’t know when, if ever, I have felt the Lord’s presence in such a strong way. It is beginning to break forth – the ‘coming glory’ that has been prophesied is entering the stage.

Visions and Paradigms

I heard the Lord say, “Arise Peter, kill and eat.”

A Bridegroom, a Bride, a Tree, and a River

The Lord gave me the following message for the church.

Moving forward, Look behind

Waking up this morning I saw a rear view mirror on the driver’s side and heard “Reflect”. Then I heard the following word from the Lord.

Degree of Glory/Weight of the Word

Why do you suppose I showed Ezekiel the degree of glory that I did? Ezekiel’s charge and commission was of the degree and magnitude that he required a solid base to stand on. The glory revealed to him set his feet on solid, immovable, revelatory truth. The message I gave him was so severe and his audience so unyielding that the high places of My glory and the realm of the undisturbed provided intrepid resolve and unwavering yieldedness. To truly proclaim the judgments of My discipline requires the resolute of heart to first experience the glory of My majesty.

Ally Ally Oxen Free

Remember playing hide and seek as kids? When it was time for all to come out from their hiding places, the one seeking would call out, “Ally Ally Oxen Free!” Another way of saying this was, “Come out, come out, wherever you are!” This is what the Lord gave me during service today.

“Ally ally oxen free!” Wherever you are hiding, come home. Come home!
