We live in our visual audio life. We operate on what we can taste, see, touch, hear and smell. It's how we perceive reality. We also live on feelings, emotions, understanding and experience. It forms how we translate the physical world around us. Yet that world is limited when we consider what is really out there.
We know the word says, "We battle not against flesh and blood but against Principalities and powers of the air".
We know that Elisha's servant eyes were opened so he could see angel armies and chariots of fire.
We know Stephen while being martyred saw Heaven.
We know that the mount of Transfiguration was a step from eternity into time for Moses and Elijah.
We know that in scripture Angels are usually invisible... unseen. That only occasionally do they manifest.
So if we grasp all that we know there are wars going on in the Spirituals. Unseen. Forces of Good and evil. Forces of darkness and light. Doing battle... unseen.
We are part of that battle even if we don't recognize it. We think it's people who are enemies, it is people, but those people are only doing what their master, satan bids them do. Do not consider the evil men do as from themselves, they are of a reprobate mind and as such are slaves to sin, and the laws of death. They are acting out the deception they possess and that possesses them.
When you oppose such things as you must, it is part of the mandate of a Christian to oppose evil in prayer, support good then in prayer, then act according to the prayer you pray. Whatever the Lord calls you to do, do that. Just know that the battle IS the Lords. He HAS already won the war, but there will be battles and in those battles some casualties. It is the way of things. It may even look like the war is being lost sometimes, it certainly does when you look around with your five senses today.
However when you look thru the eyes of faith you see the battle engaged. The enemy is on the run. The Lord is the victor. He won at Calvary, but he is winning as hearts and minds come to awareness of the evil invaders. The kingdom is expanding.
Do not despair.. darkness, even deep darkness is no match for the light.. even a pin of light drives back the Darkness.
I heard the Lord say this morning
"I called you to be light, to bring light, to display light. Light that will drive back the darkness. As you do, I will move. You are my manifestation on earth today. I need you to live, I need you to breathe, I need you to move - without YOU I can do nothing on the earth. It is your domain, I gave it to you. It destiny to be hands and feet connected to the Spirit I placed in you".

Reversing our cultural collapse. God told us long ago how..
I heard this preached on today, it occurred to me, God gave this to the children of Israel on Mt Sinai in order to establish civil order and societal balance. Now we don't have this in the USA. It's no longer cool to think that people can heed and obey the ten commandments. But let's see by reviewing them if there is a cure for the civil disorder we have with corruption and murder on our streets.
The First Commandment
You shall have no other gods. We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things. I feel like people today trust almost anything other than God. They certainly don't Fear him or they would obey. They say the Love him, they Love Jesus but they don't behave in the same way.
The Second Commandment
You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. We do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks in and for all things. Yet, listen to some music, watch HBO, go to Movies and the name of God is taken in vain all the time. Watch as some TV evangelists promise great things if you just send them money. We are surrounded by profanity and it pollutes our culture. I blame the coarseness for much of the violence we see.
The Third Commandment
You shall sanctify the holy day. [Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.] Sunday should be such that we do not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it. I believe that a return to Sunday Closing laws might be good.. that a Holy day set apart, even for the godless.. will do our culture good.
The Fourth Commandment
Honor your father and your mother. We do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them. When you see what authority figures have to go thru it is apparent that we have no culture of Honor. Cops are spit on. Teachers abused. The culture has no idea how to pay honor or obey. Sure everybody loves their mother.. and if they know who father is, they love him too. But the other authority figures are lost to them.
The Fifth Commandment
You shall not murder. Do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Help a person who has fallen without picking his pocket or expecting anything in return. Murder is rampant, but it comes as the first four commandments are ignored. We see murderers not caught or prosecuted. This encourages others to murder.
The Sixth Commandment
You shall not commit adultery. Lead a sexually pure and decent life in what we say and do, and husband and wife love and hon our each other. This also means that unwed motherhood is part of the issue. It means that you don't mess around on your spouse. Marriage is sacred. But again in entertainment, it's not even considered cool to now be banging everything around you. Look at the Holly Madison Cheating website. No one asks were they right for signing up. Only snickers when they got caught. I won't even address the scourge of porn. There must be a fresh revelation of SHAME for Adultery and Fornication. We have disorder and households with 5 kids no dad and 5 genetic fathers. There seems to be not shame and the culture is degraded.
The Seventh Commandment
You shall not steal. We do not take our neighbors money or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his possessions and income. This means if you work for a person you help them improve their income. You rejoice in the prosperity of others. This is not how our culture sees the rich any more. They see them as cheaters, winners on life's lottery. That's not the nature of this command. What is worse is when young men and women are caught clearly stealing merchandise on surveillance video, the parents who know who the kids are, they wink at it, hope they don't get caught and the child considers this approval and sinks even further in the cultural decline. If this activity was stopped here, perhaps some of those kids wouldn't end up shot dead on the street.
The Eighth Commandment
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. We do not tell lies about our
neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him,
and explain everything in the kindest way. This is horrid in our culture. People make things up. We have a tabloid mentality. Truth is nearly impossible to find. Salacious rumors and imaginations are all over the culture. It destroys trust and kills with words. Lying is a national pastime.
The Ninth Commandment
You shall not covet your neighbors house. We do not scheme to get our neighbors inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it. Yet you know there is all kinds of ways to set yourself up to get in line for a "blessing". It is critical that we allow personal property to be what it is, personal and property. Because we have so many ways of taking from others thru excessive taxation it is a violation of this commandment. People feel like they "have a right to what is yours". This is a meme in the corrupted culture.
The Tenth Commandment
You shall not covet your neighbors wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour. We do not entice or force away our neighbour’s wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty. Coveting is secret envy that creates resentment. This goes much deeper in the culture of today than we know. If someone has, we are always trying to figure a way to finagle it out of him or her. It's a cultural penchant for greed.
Even when people think they are teaching their children this in church, the culture is designed to destroy and delete these ten commandments from their behavior. It is a scheme of the enemy. We must be very careful not to endorse, sanction or tolerate the blatant violations of these commandments. With authorities and citizenry alike there must be a return to these simple principles. It was God's intention for us to live in peace and harmony. We do when we operate within the boundaries of his ten commandments. It's a superior culture by far.
The Close of the Commandments
What does God say about all these commandments? He says: “I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.” [Ex. 20:5–6]
God threatens to punish all who break these commandments. Therefore, we should fear His wrath and not do anything against them. But He promises grace and every blessing to all who keep these commandments. Therefore, we should also love and trust in Him and gladly do what He commands.
It is time to call out what is broken about our broken culture. It broke the system that God established to live quiet and peaceful lives. I honor all cultures that keep the commandments. I dishonor those that do not. So should we all. We duplicate what we tolerate. Let's be less tolerant.
The First Commandment
You shall have no other gods. We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things. I feel like people today trust almost anything other than God. They certainly don't Fear him or they would obey. They say the Love him, they Love Jesus but they don't behave in the same way.

I heard the Lord say: Morning has Broken and MOURNING has Broken
A Hymn written in 1931 in many hymnals and sung popularly by Cat Stevens is Morning Has Broken. You will recognize the lyrics.
Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day
I don't ever think of this song.. yet when I was in my quiet time it came to me. It has seemed like there is only darkness, evil and horror as we look around the world and even in the USA. The news seems to get worse and worse and evil seems to be winning.
Yet, the Lord says, "I have overcome all the world, not just portions you deem as good, all of it. I am the victor and when you enter into what I am doing you are too. Watch as I bring recreation of the day you live in. I will do things in the earth that you didn't think were possible. I will turn it ALL around. Look for the dawn, look to the light, I am the Light of the World and so should you be. Stop mourning, I am doing a new thing, don't mourn for the old, it is passing away. Look up.. your redemption is here."
I really love it when He gently speaks to us in the storm and says STOP the fear, have FAITH in ME.
I was not only encouraged, but joy came as He spoke this to me.. and I hope for you too.

A Messianic Prophecy of Judgement
I know it's not popular to call out what God is doing is Judgement. But He uses ungodly forces to accomplish his ends. He still is.
Right now you only have to look at the news with the exposure of Planned Parenthood, Corrupt Government and rebellion against God manifesting in our nation to know that God is using Media and other things to bring judgement against evil. Even the hack of the adultery site is part of this. Even gross corruption in our police forces here and in Mexico.
If you think He doesn't do such a thing, Read this from Isaiah chapter 7:
It was considered a great step down into depravity to only be able to eat Yogurt and Honey. Read the whole chapter and you will see this:
God is using the ungodly to come against that which is ungodly just as He did then. He whistles for them and they show up to expose. I remember one time when a preacher said that when Diane Sawyer shows up with her microphone, a camera and klieg lights it's just God's way of bringing correction thru exposure.
So enjoy the show, keep your powder dry, stay pure above reproach for God is on the move. When the enemy came in like a flood, the LORD raised up a standard against him.
This is in answer to the prayers of the saints.. He is moved to move people to do his will when we pray..
This is that.

Then Isaiah said, “Listen well, you royal family of David! Isn’t it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? 14All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). 15By the time this child is old enough to choose what is right and reject what is wrong, he will be eating yogurt and honey. 16For before the child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted.
17“Then the Lord will bring things on you, your nation, and your family unlike anything since Israel broke away from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria upon you!”
18In that day the Lord will whistle for the army of southern Egypt and for the army of Assyria. They will swarm around you like flies and bees. 19They will come in vast hordes and settle in the fertile areas and also in the desolate valleys, caves, and thorny places. 20In that day the Lord will hire a “razor” from beyond the Euphrates River—the king of Assyria—and use it to shave off everything: your land, your crops, and your people.
It was considered a great step down into depravity to only be able to eat Yogurt and Honey. Read the whole chapter and you will see this:
21In that day a farmer will be fortunate to have a cow and two sheep or goats left. 22Nevertheless, there will be enough milk for everyone because so few people will be left in the land. They will eat their fill of yogurt and honey.
God is using the ungodly to come against that which is ungodly just as He did then. He whistles for them and they show up to expose.

Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law
This is an old adage from the 1600s. The idea was that if you were in possession of something, you owned it. It is still a considered legal tenet in much of modern law. It has been abused by squatters. It has been used to exert authority over things that people should not have such authority over.
I was impressed this morning to address this in regard to spiritual things.
When you BELONG to the Father, when Jesus lives in your heart, when the Holy Spirit indwells you in fullness you are in His possession and therefore the law does not apply to you. The law is written on your heart and you instinctively obey. A good place to be.
Possession is 9/10ths of the Law
Yet there is an equal and opposite effect. In churches today the same inverse idea applies. Possession becomes the law and legalism is the result. MY Church, MY ministry, MY team, MY worship leader, MY pew, MY place to sit, MY pulpit, MY members, MY rules, MY books, MY MY MY.
When that becomes the language you use, then the one who REALLY does own them all will allow you to founder until you recognize who really should have possession. Sure, many will give lip service to this.. "I know this isn't my church, it all belongs to God". But let something out of the ordinary take place and let's find out who Really thinks they own it. The hammer will fall and the anointing will stop. YOU then bring the anointing not from heaven. Skill and ability will carry you for a while. Some do, it's entertainment, it's production, it's a dog and pony show. Eventually it falls apart.
What God is looking for, seeking for, searching for is those who will worship HIM in HIS Spirit and HIS Truth. HE owns all that and we enter in to it, into HIS Glory.
IF you hear yourself even thinking or saying "MY" in what God called you to.. you are not giving possession where possession is rightful. 90% is all He needs.. He'll take care of the rest.
In that way.. this isn't even my word, my blog, my prophetic, it's HIS.
I know sometimes when these things come they are more for me but you get to tag along as Father speaks quietly to me.. and He just did.

The Devil Uses Lost Causes to Derail Destinies
We hear the saying "The Devil is a Lie" all the time. It's true. He is the father of lies. Lies come in many forms. One that is not recognized is how he is able to stop people called of God for destiny by sending them on Quixotic causes that have no fruit at all. It is a way to create heat when none is merited.
I have a long list of these fruitless causes. The one that is of recent memory is the 1999-2000 millennial scare. From pulpits around the nation preachers warned how the world was going to crash because of the date change. How you better get a generator, store up water and food. Get a gun. Be ready for chaos. Some moved to enclaves. Some were hidden away. It was a scary time.
The devil laughed out loud at the foolishness. Energy and resources that could have gone into advancing the Kingdom were squandered on a lost cause.
It is still happening. Look at the people in fear of blood moons, shemitah and other lost cause fears.
Colossians 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is youra life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Philippians 3:19
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
As I see people all wrapped up in foolish offenses, anger, fear, politics (of which I am chief among sinners) and financial fear I recognize the hand of the enemy in derailing destiny.
Next time we find ourselves all upset over some supposed cause, ask yourself, what is it that is causing me to become tormented? Who is causing the torment.
That is the real issue. We must no longer be tossed too and fro by every wind that blows.
The Kingdom of God is advancing.. so should we.
I'm preaching to myself here.. but maybe you will benefit too.
And that's what I heard the Lord say today.

God Doesn't Have Any Money
I know people who beg God for money. Who pray in tongues for hours to get God to send them money. Here's the problem, HE DOESN'T have any.
Yet he says, the Silver and Gold are mine.
Haggai 2:7'I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8'The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,' declares the LORD of hosts. 9'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and in this place I will give peace,' declares the LORD of hosts."
And He seems to have folks who will name his cattle holdings.
Psalm 50:9"I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds. 10"For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. 11"I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.…
So how can I say God has no money. What would He do with it? He DOES have people who have money. He can move circumstances where money comes. Yet He has none.
So if you are in financial difficulty, ask the Lord to move on men to pour into your bosom. Ask him for opportunity. You can even ask him to show you prophetically how much money will come to you in the next year or two. You can then live in the understanding that He is as good as his word.
I have had that experience. Father speaking to me about how and how much He will provide thru others.
IF you read these two passages, you will see even if he OWNS the silver and gold (that nations will bring to Him) and that he Owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He has the deed and can call them in, but People deliver the promises of God.
Your breakthrough is not in hoping God comes thru and money falls from heaven. It doesn't work that way. He will move on those who will to respond to provide. It's almost NEVER someone you ask. It could be employment, it could be a gift, an inheritance, a rebate, found money or any of a thousand ways he will cause things to happen to provide for you.
I just want you to know, HE doesn't have a bank account, He doesn't have a money clip. He is not broke, he is asset rich.. owns it all ultimately. The earth IS the Lord's and the fullness in it. ALL OF IT... yet he uses men, saved and lost to act as stewards of it.. that's why the wealth of the wicked is constantly being funneled into the righteous hands. He has the final say.
Its actually a wonderful thing.. you can look over your shoulder and your breakthrough might be standing right next to you. I have prophetic words I know are true for me.. and I'm just walking it out.
There is great confidence knowing that God WILL provide.. He is Jehovah Jireh.. it's just in someone else's hands right now. Prayer can move the hand of God to dislodge is your direction.. ask Him who has your wealth... don't steal it.. serve them and it will come to you for good.. even if they think evil.
It's just how it works.
One last thing, God is sooo good at this that when charities, government and even Churches try to speed up or short circuit what God is trying to do.. it almost always fails. Jesus said as much in the Sermon on the mount.. yet people have not learned to walk in this because of well meaning others who won't let God be God. Once when I was very wealthy I was so overgenerous I was rebuked by God for getting in the way of his purposes and that I was supposed to cut it out. What about the Prodigal in the pigpen.. would giving him free money helped when he was at the bottom??
Trust God and LIVE!!
Yet he says, the Silver and Gold are mine.
Haggai 2:7'I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8'The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,' declares the LORD of hosts. 9'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and in this place I will give peace,' declares the LORD of hosts."
And He seems to have folks who will name his cattle holdings.
Psalm 50:9"I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds. 10"For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. 11"I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.…
So how can I say God has no money. What would He do with it? He DOES have people who have money. He can move circumstances where money comes. Yet He has none.
So if you are in financial difficulty, ask the Lord to move on men to pour into your bosom. Ask him for opportunity. You can even ask him to show you prophetically how much money will come to you in the next year or two. You can then live in the understanding that He is as good as his word.
I have had that experience. Father speaking to me about how and how much He will provide thru others.
IF you read these two passages, you will see even if he OWNS the silver and gold (that nations will bring to Him) and that he Owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He has the deed and can call them in, but People deliver the promises of God.
Your breakthrough is not in hoping God comes thru and money falls from heaven. It doesn't work that way. He will move on those who will to respond to provide. It's almost NEVER someone you ask. It could be employment, it could be a gift, an inheritance, a rebate, found money or any of a thousand ways he will cause things to happen to provide for you.
I just want you to know, HE doesn't have a bank account, He doesn't have a money clip. He is not broke, he is asset rich.. owns it all ultimately. The earth IS the Lord's and the fullness in it.

The Heart Reveals
We hear these expressions, "My heart just wasn't in it" or "I don't have the heart for that".
While these are not talking about the blood pump in our body, it's talking about the thoughts and intentions of our soul, our heart.
The word of God has that ability. It cuts away the soul and exposes them by His spirit.
So whatever you do or do not do, you do because of your heart. You are making choices. Your spirit is willing but.. your flesh and soul may not be.
That's why when we see all kinds of aberration all around us that people try to call normal, we know it's a heart issue. The crime in our neighborhoods, revelation of a failed heart. Racism and victimization is a heart thing. Blaming others for our failure is a weak heart. Even willingness to accept lies of the devil is because our heart is not yet able to discern by the spirit of God.
God's heart towards us is LOVE, Giving us Jesus. Providing a way of escape. Filling us with his Spirit. Giving us Joy in the battle. His heart is perfect in every way.
Father says, "I am giving you a new heart, your heart must change, you cannot do it in your own strength, you will hang on to your heart of stone if I let you. I will soften and replace that hard heart with one that looks like mine. One that is open, clean, pure and an expression of My love".
I'm not there yet. It's more than WWJD. It's what does Father God do?
Say what God says, Love like God loves, Listen with Ears of discernment, See others thru God's eyes and you will better express to the world what it is so hungry for. It doesn't want to avoid hell. Most people don't even believe in hell. They don't think they need to do anything to go to heaven, most people are already convinced they will get there because they are good people, they don't think they need Jesus at all... but they are empty. Hearts in pain. Hearts hurt. They need to know that there is so much more for them. That they can have everything God planned for them. That they can reach much higher to a destiny that waits for them.
Father could do this supernaturally, wave his hand and BOOM everyone is automatically saved. He did all he can do.. Thru Jesus. NOW it's up to us. You and Me. We are placed in front of people who need HIM every day. We are HIS body manifested here on earth.
It's a big responsibility.. but we are well able to take the land he promised.
While these are not talking about the blood pump in our body, it's talking about the thoughts and intentions of our soul, our heart.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Heb 4:12
The word of God has that ability. It cuts away the soul and exposes them by His spirit.
So whatever you do or do not do, you do because of your heart. You are making choices. Your spirit is willing but.. your flesh and soul may not be.
That's why when we see all kinds of aberration all around us that people try to call normal, we know it's a heart issue. The crime in our neighborhoods, revelation of a failed heart.

Will God Heal our Land?? Maybe.. IF
Many people love to quote this familiar passage about Prayer.. but they fail to read it in context.
It is almost as quotable as John 3:16
In the context of the passage when God speaks to Solomon and says bad things will happen but IF and then He says what we quote so often! Sidebar, It actually says that HE APPEARED to Solomon, was this a Pre-Incarnate Theophany of Jesus?. I'll let brighter men and women than I sort that out.
Let's parse this passage and see if we qualify for God to heal our land. I'm not convinced.
THEN
It means on the backside of some crisis that people need to take action.
IF
It means that this is a conditional promise, no action on our part, no promise delivered
MY PEOPLE
I know that all people are God's people in principle, but in reality he is talking about a specific group of people. Not everyone is called to this.
WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME
Now we know who they are. Those who name the name of Jesus. Those who are called by themselves and the world "Christians" in current parlance. I know this was written to Hebrews.. but we now are the ones.
WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES
This now means that we who are of the above need to get over ourselves. That we are the guilty ones. That we are the ones who need to shoulder the blame. Not someone 200 years ago. Not the democrats or republicans. Not the president. Not the Illuminati. It you and me O Lord standing in the need of prayer. We must be humble enough to say.. I have dropped the ball. I didn't speak up. I let things slide. I am sorry Lord. I am humiliated by my failure. Pride must die.
AND PRAY
This is not a prayer of petition, this is a prayer of repentance from dead works. A prayer that backs up the humility we need. The prayer that calls on God for his mercy when none is really earned or due. We pray for His grace and wisdom. This is about realignment, us with the purposes of God. Prayer changes things, but mostly it changes you and me. We are indeed part of the answer to every prayer we pray. So when we pray.. we must understand.
AND SEEK MY FACE
Figure out what God is doing and get in line with that. Seeking God's face means we seek to line up with his plans. When we seek His face we strive to be in His perfect presence where nothing is hidden. Where pure love flows. Where our intentions and desires become subordinate. Seeking his face also means our eyes being opened to new truth. We run from God when we are in even partial rebellion. Seeking his face is seeing ourselves as HE sees us naked and ashamed. Not in condemnation but in truth. His presence shines the light of truth on all motives.
AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS
This is our responsibility to stop doing, thinking, saying, feeling, confessing and affirming that which is wicked. This is not about harboring sin, this is about real repentance. Repentance means turning around. Turning from. If we think everyone else needs to repent.. then we have not fulfilled the requirement. As long as we hold aught against anyone for some perceived flaw of fault we are unrepentant of our wicked ways. This is hard and where most of us fail. There are many things that we need to turn from. Some are more overt.. some are more hidden. IF we keep doing what we have always done and expect God to act, we will be disappointed.
THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND WILL HEAL (RESTORE) THEIR LAND.
This is the bookend to the conditional promise. IF --- THEN. If our land is unhealed and unrestored it is not because God hates us or is cursing us, it's because we have not yet fulfilled the requirements laid on us. There is still resentment, wickedness, unrepented sin, avoidance of the presence of God in revelation, humility is missing then any prayer we pray is empty. We are in a barren place so God must be requiring something before he will move.
Heaven is silent, sin retained and a damaged land is what I see. I see pride, arrogance, anger, resentment and harbored unforgiveness. That is a recipe for the blight to remain.
We can't call a prayer meeting and pray for an hour without first doing all the other things that are part of the conditions. Until pride is crushed God will allow things to drift. I don't want that and I don't think you do.
This is going to take careful self examination. What does it mean to YOU, to ME to become part of the solution and not part of the problem. Prayer without all the other requirements fulfilled is simply empty words. It's good to pray.. but a dry and barren land cries out for humility, repentance, the presence of God revealing the very thoughts and intentions of ourselves.
One more thing. God says in the next verse: 15
Where is THIS PLACE? You are the temple, you must cleanse it, become that which God can hear, see and be attentive.
I want that.. but it's going to take many many of us called by HIS NAME to bring healing to our land.
Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, Then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
It is almost as quotable as John 3:16
In the context of the passage when God speaks to Solomon and says bad things will happen but IF and then He says what we quote so often! Sidebar, It actually says that HE APPEARED to Solomon, was this a Pre-Incarnate Theophany of Jesus?. I'll let brighter men and women than I sort that out.

Do Not Bow the Knee
I have been quiet for a week waiting on God to give me a clear word about the Court's judgement on Gay Marriage. From a political standpoint I have a strong and Biblical opinion. But it's my opinion. I must get my flesh out of the way to offer up what Father is saying.
Here's what I have received from the Throne:
"Not everything you call supreme is, I am the one and only Supreme of the whole universe. I created it all. Heaven, Earth and all the Galaxies. Supreme is who I am, above all other gods.
That which man appoints others to be supreme is simply a world system... not MY purpose. They do not speak for ME. If law is adjudicated outside MY laws and the created order of things, they are exposed for being false and in error. This a time of exposure.
Just because a judge or judges proclaim lawless living to be legal, do not bow the knee. It may be the law of the land, but it is not My will for people's lives. Keeping peace by bowing the knee to that which is sin and rebellion is compromise unworthy of those who are called by MY name.
Sacrificing children to Molek in fire at one time was a law made by men. My prophets spoke against the law and some were killed because of their opposition. Darius the King was tricked by evil men into putting Daniel in the lions den. Laws devised to persecute. Nebuchadnezzar devised a law that at the sound of the music all were to bow down to the Idol. Three did not and were placed in an oven so hot that it killed the ones placing then in the fire. Haman devised a law that would have killed MY chosen people in the land but Ester at the risk of her life stood against the law. MY SON was crucified because one appointed by Rome issued an edict for death, a law, because of pressure from godless men.
The logic of man is that it doesn't hurt anything or anyone, that harmony is more important than righteousness, that civil order is what we need is how easy divorce and abortion became the law of the land. The unrighteous human judges made law contrary to My will. Do not bow the knee.
It is a scheme of satan to try to get even christians to believe there is no spiritual impact or damage from unjust judgements. These laws lead to death. Destruction. Deception. Do not bow the knee.
My perfect law always leads to life. It is a lamp to your feet. It is guidance that will bring you to the true peace, harmony and justice that you long for. Not laws devised to deceive as come from man.
Do not be deceived. Do not be conformed to the world designed by unrighteous men. Acceptance as sin, even if declared legal, is sin. Missing the mark. Compromise will cause a shortfall of the Glory you were designed to carry.
IF laws demand that people called of MY name accept as legitimate and ordinary that which is not according to MY law, then there will be created a divide. You will have to choose to follow that law I have written on your heart by My word or the laws devised by fallen men. Come out from among them. I called you to be a royal priesthood, a separate people, peculiar in every way, holy which means set apart. Do not bow the Knee.
I gave you My spirit, I gave you the Mind of Christ, I have given you a voice, I use your physicality to execute my purposes in the earth, you see with eyes of faith, I have given you the gift of discernment, I have told you to be careful to be not OF the world. I dwell in you, a temple not made with hands. You have a heart of flesh I gave you rather than a heart of stone. I have given you a conscience and a still small voice to say to you, "This is the way, walk ye in it". You are well equipped to walk upright in this day.
Yet many who claim to speak for me, many who occupy pulpits, many who try to explain away all this using the words of compromise and love are in fact asking those who they lead to bow the knee in quiet acceptance. A spiritual go along to get along. I will remove such. False shepherds.
There are also those who I placed as shepherds who have not spoken a word as a watchman. The blood of those taken captive by these philosophies leading to death is on their hands. I will remove these. False shepherds.
Do not be deceived, no group of men, politicians, media, judges and public opinion will mock ME long. I WILL NOT be mocked.
You will be hated, I said to you: The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. John 15:19
Be very cautious about what or who you call supreme. I am alone in that. Do not bow the knee to any other.
Here's what I have received from the Throne:
"Not everything you call supreme is, I am the one and only Supreme of the whole universe. I created it all. Heaven, Earth and all the Galaxies. Supreme is who I am, above all other gods.

When Father Takes a Deep Breath
There has not been one word from God, not a breath from the throne that I have received from Him over the events in the last week. My flesh reacted, but as a prophet not a word.
When the Supreme Court ruling on homosex marriage came last week I was personally angry and offended. Yet I know my flesh. It has a hot button. That button was pushed.
I have seen many of the things written by many "Leaders" in the church of Jesus. Little of what has been said to date has anything to do with what God is saying. It is all been resounding gongs and clanging cymbals. Noise without the grace to speak the word of the Lord clearly. Many of those people should in fact get out of the ministry now or Father will take them out.
I have not posted a word about this in order to get my flesh to quiet down. I have said much in the flesh about all this. None of that is by the Spirit of God. I hope you can differentiate.
THEN, this morning early I was instructed to get my journal and begin to write what HE says. I have pages and pages and pages of what came from the throne. It doesn't yet appear to be all that He wants us to hear. I will hold back a bit more. I want His full counsel.
This much I know for sure, Father will hold back for a while, He will speak truth when the time comes. He will give us what we need to hear. I have learned to wait on God as a Prophet and sometimes that means actually waiting. On God. Not on my human reason, not on my flesh, not on my theological training. Hearing from GOD himself.
He will speak. He will make clear what is now mostly confusion and distraction. He will give clear instructions. He will make his will known. He will shame many who call themselves pastor, leader, bishop, apostle and other self appointed people who were never called of God. False shepherds will be exposed.
There is MUCH good that will come from this. Darkness has a way of being exposed by the light. Too much darkness has invaded the minds and souls of people who name the name of Jesus. That darkness will be called out. Some may even repent of the darkness.
There is a Song written by Misty Edwards that speaks first Person God. It is an old one. YET.. it seems right in this time.
HE'S GONNA TURN IT ALL AROUND
The end of the song says this:
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
It's gonna be alright...
Just fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
And don't give up
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
It's all that I'm asking you
Don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
I believe that this is a word in this day, in our day, that we need to hear. It is a breath from God.
All the words of this song speak to how many of us feel right now in the fog and confusion:
Read them and see what you hear from HIM.
TURN IT ALL AROUND,
Misty Edwards
I knew what I was getting into, and I still like you
I knew what I was getting into
He says, for only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going
When you see only your weakness, I see the seeds of righteousness and love in you
I know where you are going
And I am not shocked by your brokenness
I am not disgusted by your humanity
I know you better than that
And I know you even better, even better than you know yourself
Listen, my beloved
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
(And I want you)
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, but I said it just the same
(You're failure does not surprise me)
I knew what I was getting into and I still like you
(So don't draw back)
I knew what I was getting into
And I have no regrets about calling you, none at all
Cuz only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going
And I see in you real love
When all you see is the struggle, I see the fight
(I see the heart cry)
I see you there on your bed at night
(You long to love me, I see it clearly)
You say, "I really wanna be yours God! I really hate my sin!"
I see you
(And I receive that cry from you)
And I say, all that I'm asking is that you fight the good fight
(And you cry out to me)
I will answer you
(I will help you)
My beloved one
(I do love you more than you know)
You have no idea the way you move me
(You move heart, my beloved ones)
Of all of the world of my Father's house, it doesn't move me
Of all of the nations, they don't move me
But you...
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name
(Don't hate yourself, because I love you)
Just be honest, come be real
(Do not despise who you are, because I love you)
I know your frame, I know you are but dust
But I see the gold
(I see the gold in your heart)
I see the strength
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name
I said it just the same
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Cuz everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(If you could see what I see when I look at you, you would rejoice)
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(If you could see what I see when I look at you, says the Lord, your hearts would rejoice)
Everything is in my hands
(I have such plans)
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(We have a great future together forever, if you could only see)
Just don't, just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
It's gonna be alright...
Just fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
And don't give up
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
It's all that I'm asking you
Don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time

When the Supreme Court ruling on homosex marriage came last week I was personally angry and offended. Yet I know my flesh. It has a hot button. That button was pushed.
I have seen many of the things written by many "Leaders" in the church of Jesus. Little of what has been said to date has anything to do with what God is saying. It is all been resounding gongs and clanging cymbals. Noise without the grace to speak the word of the Lord clearly. Many of those people should in fact get out of the ministry now or Father will take them out.
I have not posted a word about this in order to get my flesh to quiet down. I have said much in the flesh about all this. None of that is by the Spirit of God. I hope you can differentiate.
THEN, this morning early I was instructed to get my journal and begin to write what HE says. I have pages and pages and pages of what came from the throne. It doesn't yet appear to be all that He wants us to hear. I will hold back a bit more. I want His full counsel.
This much I know for sure, Father will hold back for a while, He will speak truth when the time comes. He will give us what we need to hear. I have learned to wait on God as a Prophet and sometimes that means actually waiting. On God. Not on my human reason, not on my flesh, not on my theological training. Hearing from GOD himself.
He will speak. He will make clear what is now mostly confusion and distraction. He will give clear instructions. He will make his will known. He will shame many who call themselves pastor, leader, bishop, apostle and other self appointed people who were never called of God. False shepherds will be exposed.
There is MUCH good that will come from this. Darkness has a way of being exposed by the light. Too much darkness has invaded the minds and souls of people who name the name of Jesus. That darkness will be called out. Some may even repent of the darkness.
There is a Song written by Misty Edwards that speaks first Person God. It is an old one. YET.. it seems right in this time.
HE'S GONNA TURN IT ALL AROUND
The end of the song says this:
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
It's gonna be alright...
Just fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
And don't give up
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
It's all that I'm asking you
Don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
I believe that this is a word in this day, in our day, that we need to hear. It is a breath from God.
All the words of this song speak to how many of us feel right now in the fog and confusion:
Read them and see what you hear from HIM.
TURN IT ALL AROUND,
Misty Edwards
I knew what I was getting into, and I still like you
I knew what I was getting into
He says, for only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going
When you see only your weakness, I see the seeds of righteousness and love in you
I know where you are going
And I am not shocked by your brokenness
I am not disgusted by your humanity
I know you better than that
And I know you even better, even better than you know yourself
Listen, my beloved
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
(And I want you)
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, but I said it just the same
(You're failure does not surprise me)
I knew what I was getting into and I still like you
(So don't draw back)
I knew what I was getting into
And I have no regrets about calling you, none at all
Cuz only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going
And I see in you real love
When all you see is the struggle, I see the fight
(I see the heart cry)
I see you there on your bed at night
(You long to love me, I see it clearly)
You say, "I really wanna be yours God! I really hate my sin!"
I see you
(And I receive that cry from you)
And I say, all that I'm asking is that you fight the good fight
(And you cry out to me)
I will answer you
(I will help you)
My beloved one
(I do love you more than you know)
You have no idea the way you move me
(You move heart, my beloved ones)
Of all of the world of my Father's house, it doesn't move me
Of all of the nations, they don't move me
But you...
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name
(Don't hate yourself, because I love you)
Just be honest, come be real
(Do not despise who you are, because I love you)
I know your frame, I know you are but dust
But I see the gold
(I see the gold in your heart)
I see the strength
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name
I said it just the same
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Cuz everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(If you could see what I see when I look at you, you would rejoice)
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(If you could see what I see when I look at you, says the Lord, your hearts would rejoice)
Everything is in my hands
(I have such plans)
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
(We have a great future together forever, if you could only see)
Just don't, just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay
It's gonna be alright...
Just fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
And don't give up
Just don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
It's all that I'm asking you
Don't give up, don't give in
If you don't quit, you win, you win
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
He's gonna turn it all around, just wait and see
He's gonna make everything beautiful, just in time
