You need to see this. I was really bless by it. I don't often link on my prophetic side, But Nancy is really coming quickly into her own on her new blog. I commend it to you.
Read the 91st Psalm like you haven't before.
OH, and for a religious person or two who might read this, YES, there were Apostles who happened to be Women in the Bible.
Junia is called out in Romans 16:7. There are several otherwomen in the same chapter who I am confident fit the role of Kingdom Apostolic Leader beyond the Prophetic. Paul names names and sums much of it up in the phrase: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. I know several myself. So don't get all bent out of shape. Nancy is called to the Apostolic and I proclaim prophetically in this forum the mantle of the Apostle is on her.
Go Ye clothed in your Mantle of Authority and be prepared for battle Nancy.

From Prophet Bruce on the Economy
I spent some time with Bruce and Friends yesterday. We had a great time of fellowship. During that time he told me something that he received from God prophetically.
I am not going to bail you out, I'm going to grow you up.
That may not seem like a big revelation to you, but in sharing what the Lord is showing me about our coming economic upheavals this morning (yes we are not done yet), this word rang more true than ever.
I hate growing up, I would rather be bailed out, But I know HIM too much to believe he loves me so little he would not deal with me that way.
I wish the Government had the wisdom of God. He is our source. Not Government.

Devourer Rebuked
We have a fridge. It has an ice maker. The ice maker was broken. It wouldn't make ice.
Peggy laid hands on the fridge and the ice maker is now making ice.
Devourer Rebuked
The AC on my car quit. Don't know why. Fogged windows. I didn't lay hands on it, I spoke to it, it fired back up again and is working fine. Not bad for a car with almost 200 grand on it.
Then the ignition failed. I took it to the repair shop. $300 dollars to repair. I said I'd think abut it. I did. I took the ignition coil off held it in my hand and commanded it in Jesus name to work right. I reinstalled it. No more ignition problem.
Devourer Rebuked.
Are there "Rational" explanations for this? If by rational you mean worldly, perhaps. This all happened irrationally in one week. A friend said, maybe there was air in the line with the ice maker, or it jammed and freed up, maybe there was a freon leak that was detected and then undetected on the AC, maybe removing and reinstalling the ignition coil cleaned a connection that was dirty. MAYBE.
Or MAYBE NOT!
I have experienced this phenomena too many times in too many ways not to know that it's flat out devourer rebuking going on according to Malachi the prophet.

Malachi 3:10-12 (New International Version)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. 12 "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty.

The Spirit of What IF
Some years ago a song was popular called, I Don't Believe in IF anymore.
Right now I have a sense in my spirit that a "What IF" spirit is clouding our thinking. We need Jesus to reveal himself to us, WHAT IF he never ever leaves or forsakes us? That's the what if.
Pastor Phil posted a Remix of the 23rd Psalm. It's pretty good. I pirated it here:
The Lord is my strength, I shall not panic;
He helps me relax and rest in quiet trust.
He reminds me that I belong to Him and restores my serenity;
He leads me in my decisions and gives me calmness of mind.
His presence is peace.
Even though I walk through the valley of the fear of failure,
I will not worry, for He will be with me.
His truth, grace, and loving-kindness will stabilize me.
He prepares release and renewal in the midst of my stress.
He anoints my mind with wisdom;
My cup overflows with fresh energy.
Surely goodness and mercy will be communicated through me,
For I shall walk in the strength of my Lord,
And dwell in His presence forever. Amen.

Love and Purpose
There are two main prophetic undergirdings to the Believer in Jesus.
First, we must know how much he Loves us. John 3:16 love. But more than that, and there is more, He loves us beyond our understanding. Not height nor depth can separate us. Father's love who runs to meet us as we return. Love of a bridegroom who pursues and woos us. Love that never ever leaves or forsakes us. Eternal love. If we can grasp the magnitude of God's love for us, it will keep us solid on the rock.
Second, is our purpose. This is more evasive. We all have a purpose in God. Sometimes it take a little while to find it, but find it we will. We must have, we must cultivate an understanding of why we are here. You probably won't find it from someone else. You will find it by His Spirit of Revelation. Your pastor can't tell you and may not even acknowledge the purpose God had placed in you. I spoke with a dear sister in Jesus last night for a long time who is struggling with the reality not having her Spirit revealed purpose confirmed by her pastor. Our purpose doesn't come from people. It comes from God.
The problem is you need revelation for comprehending a little the love of God in your life and you will need a prophetic voice to declare destiny over your life. I am convinced that people perish for lack of knowledge because they are not in a place to hear from the Throne.
It's a tough thing, but if you can find the LOVE of God and YOUR PURPOSE you will walk in victory and confidence to the day you die.
Seek first the KINGDOM of GOD and his Righteousness and ALL THESE THINGS will be added unto you.

A giant “Finance Tsunami” rushes upon us!
Pastor Joh.W.Matutis in Berlin has a dire prediction. I don't agree completely, but I am judging it as it is.
You will want to read it. Consider it. Don't fear. He has not given us a Spirit of Fear.

Deafened by Thunder
Moses heard from God. It was God's intent to speak directly to his people without any filter.
He wanted them to know him face to face, to whisper in their ears. That was always his intent. To have the written word of God as instruction to discern His voice, but then to cultivate the ability to hear him in the quiet and even in the storm.
It is my concern that we have become a people as Christians who say to our ministers, our prophets, our theologians, our professors, writers of books and teachers of the word - we say to them: "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."
The problem is this. Many times they have not heard from God. They too have read books, taken classes, heard sermons. Just NO GOD HEARD.
They are terrified to hear the voice of God directly. They see the lightning and hear the thunder and tremble. That is the problem with much of the denominational church of America. Adrift in the world without the voice of God in their life and in their spiritual ears. "Let those who have ears to hear, HEAR what the Spirit of the Lord Says."
I know good men and women of God who have read all the books, taken all the classes, heard all the lectures and it becomes a poor substitute for hearing Directly from HIM.
I have cultivated hearing from God. He is always gentle, always kind, always loving, always ever like a Father. I never feel rebuked or ashamed. It's his nature. Read the book of Ezekiel. It's full of love and compassion, yet you and I will know where we stand with the creator of the Universe.
Today in Church Pastor Phil captured this truth. He advised his congregation to listen, quietly, no Bible on the lap, no praying, no nothing. Just a pad of paper a pencil and silence. For a long time. It was profoundly true. This is what it takes to hear from God.... Listening. Big profound truth I know. But most Christians NEVER develop this sensitivity. They read books, go to conferences, watch Christian TV, even go to church and never learn to hear the word of the Lord for themselves.
I think this is one of the lost arts. But then it was lost long long ago:
From Exodus 20:
It's time for Christians to learn to hear God for themselves.

It was and is ever so.....18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."
21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
It's time for Christians to learn to hear God for themselves.
