Ten Things the Word of the Lord brings us today - Heed them and live

James 4:1-3
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Romans 8:7-8 
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Isaiah 59:7
Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their highways.

Psalm 58:2-3 
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.

Luke 6:45
The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Proverbs 22:5 
Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked; whoever guards his soul will keep far from them.

Hebrews 12:15 
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

Judge Not According to the Flesh

There is a spirit of racism alive once more in the earth.  It is driven by the devil's deception to cause us to judge by the flesh, appearance. All _________ people are the same.  You can insert your own category in there.  Indian, Black, Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, Irish, Italian, Mexican, etc.  It's racism and it is because we judge according to the flesh.  It's a sin.  Stop it.

JOHN 7:24 NKJ

24- "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

Making a snap judgment based on appearance often works , but not always. And the exceptions can really cost you.

The world teaches us to judge people by their appearance. But God doesn't judge people by how they look , and neither should we.

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NLT

7- But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. 
The LORD doesn't make decisions the way you do! People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at a person's thoughts and intentions."

One main reason we're not qualified to judge others is because we don't know their thoughts and intentions. Only God does.

As they say, "You can't always judge a book by its cover."

LUKE 16:15 CEV

15- But Jesus told them: You are always making yourselves look good, but God sees what is in your heart. The things that most people think are important are worthless as far as God is concerned".

It is important that we treat all people with respect , since they are created and loved by God , no matter how they look.

Johnny Enlow: Prepare to be Amazed. Massive "Gold" Discovery In California

Prophetic word given July 10, 2013 while in Santa Barbara, California:
"You must now arise and shine with a message and attitude of hope and faith." The Lord says, "I am going to do something in your state – that should I tell it to you, you would not believe it. I am going to turn everything around. I am going to invade every mountain and sphere of your state and I am going ignite a turn around that will astound all. I have released the great angels already.

"I will work with My children who will choose to see Me and what I am doing as opposed to what the enemy is doing. The religious anxiety and sobriety you have felt is not Me, and I ask you to step out of it. I will now arise upon My Josephs and My Josephines. I am inviting all of you and even demanding of all who are Mine to leave behind despair Christianity. You must rise above the fray and see Me and what I am doing. I will turn your state around.

"Another Gold Rush - I Will Release and Reveal Gold..."

"There will be another gold rush and it will astonish the experts. I will release and reveal gold in places where it is assumed there can't be gold. I will economically rescue you with My kindness and you will even be used to economically rescue the nation. I still have 90% of California's treasure hidden for such a time as this. Even the desert will bloom and will reveal unexpected treasures.

"I will invade the 5 (I-5) and spill over into the cities. I will release My wind into 101 and will release life through it. What was formerly US 66 will be a place My angels will walk and release treasures and presence. I will not be detained as I now have sufficient agreement to act. There will be a great turn around and you must be prepared to cooperate with it.

"I love all your prayers that have come up to Me and now I need you to go beyond the prayers and allow Me to invade every structure, sphere and mountain. Everywhere the soles of your feet will go Monday through Friday – I am ready to make Kingdom territory.

"I will send the rains and will break the drought. I will water you with the rains of Heaven and will bring back even ecological balance to your state. I will be made known in government, I will be made known in your city halls. I will be made famous in Hollywood for the old system has broken. But you must awake, you must arise and you must shine. You must be courageous and you must take Me with you into every place you go. You must tell it is I who am helping and you must tell that I am going to even further help.

"California, Your Age of Restoration is Upon You"

"As they are astonished at My kindness you must tell them it is Me. You must see into where you live, work and study, and you must tell of the good things I am going to do there. I need you to echo Me. I am going to invade and this time it will not just be the deserts and remote places. I will come right into day to day society and I will be seen.

"California your age of restoration is upon you. As you see your roads and highways repaired and restored know that it will be an evidence and a sign of what I am doing in the soul of your state.

"My Church, do not resist Me. My Church do not stay in doubt. My Church agree with Me. My Church cease being judgment-conscious and start being restoration-conscious. My Church enter into My joys. My Church enter in My hopes for you. I am going to do that which you have feared to even hope for. I am going to show you that I am the 'bigger than' God. Today I ask you to join Me. Today I ask you to agree on earth as I am telling you from Heaven."

PROPHECY? or Powder Puff Promises

I am around a large number of prophetic folks.  They mean well.  Most are very encouraging.  Inspiring. Motivating.  Hope giving.  I like that when it happens.  Some are great teachers and dividers of the word of God.  I think that is wonderful.

What is missing?

Those who prophesy... things and events.  Future history.  What will happen.  A pulling back of the veil and with accuracy are able to declare with humility, even pain, the days ahead.

That happens too seldom.  It's a rough task if you have been given it to carry out.  When I have to bring such a word to a man or woman, it's a hard thing to do.  I did so yesterday.  I met a grandma. Her grandchild was with her.  Mom (single) was nearby.  She and I engaged in light conversation... for a moment. Then without even knowing what I was saying, I said to her, "Your gift to your daughter is that her fears for her baby are resting in you and you carry her hope.  You will be the bridge to the generation and while it will be hard, it will be an event resulting in great joy eventually in your life".    It turns out her daughter (about 40 and unmarried) has terminal cancer.  Grandma and grandpa will be raising the child. That prophetic word (I was not at all religious, just related it as a part of the conversation).

Here's the facts.  Prophecy when it is real will help a person rest in the truth of God's promises.

Let's have more prophecy and less motivational powder puff promises.  Prophets... step up!

Dutch Sheets: Necessity Isn't the Mother of Invention, Your Dreams Are!

You may or may not be aware of it, but you have a dreaming nature. You inherited this part of your disposition from your Creator. He created us in His image and likeness so our hearts could relate to His and His dreaming heart could find millions of expressions. You were designed to dream and you must dream—both for yourself and for God. In fact, if you don't dream with Him, He can't experience all of His dreams, and you'll never achieve your destiny.
A life without dreams is like a GPS without a satellite. The GPS might operate, but it would lead you nowhere. Likewise, without God-given dreams to guide you, you will travel life's highway searching for a destination you'll never find. Divinely inspired dreams, on the other hand, will guide you to the destiny He intended for you.
Your Designer dreamed dreams for you before you were even born, then skillfully wove them into your DNA as you were created, along with the ability to find and fulfill them. His destiny for you will be the sum of those dreams. The journey of life, then, is meant to be a dream quest; finding those dreams your Maker has dreamed for you brings life's ultimate satisfaction and should be life's ultimate pursuit.
If you don't discover God's dreams, you'll either waste your life running in wrong races and crossing wrong finish lines or, like many people, have no finish line at all. Other individuals stop running altogether, wandering through life as though it were a maze, hoping they stumble upon the right exit. What a tragedy! Your Creator doesn't intend for life to be such a gamble. You can find His plans and dreams for you and pursue them with confidence!

It Begins With a Dream

Things are supposed to be different on Planet Earth because you showed up. You're part of the plan. A solution, an invention, a prayer, another person yet unborn—there is something in you we need. It begins with a dream.
In his book A Savior for All Seasons, William Barker speaks of dreaming. He tells of a disagreement between a traveling bishop and the president of a religious college who also taught physics and chemistry. The itinerant minister persistently contended that we must be near the return of Christ and the beginning of His Millennial reign. Why? "Because just about everything concerning nature has been discovered and all inventions created."
The college president disagreed and insisted there would be more discoveries.
"Name one," challenged the preacher.
"Well, I'm certain that within 50 years humans will be able to fly," replied the president.
"Nonsense!" shouted the skeptical minister. "Only angels are intended to fly."
The preacher's name? Wright. He had two sons at home, dreamers named Orville and Wilbur—you know them as the innovative Wright brothers—who proved to have a bit more vision than Dad!

Dream, Plan and Create

Dreaming ignites creativity. The impossible is powerless against the relentless energy and creative imagination flowing from a dreaming heart. Dreams are pregnant with hope, persistence, ingenuity and inventiveness—if you dream you will create. Contrarily, if you do not have dreams to pursue, you'll languish and stagnate in a sterile, uninspired, unimaginative and uninventive world—exactly the way most people live!
The world of the non-dreamer is small and confined, restrained by his or her mundane existence. For them, the fulfillment of destiny is not accomplished by dreaming, planning and creativity, but instead, is based on chance. God's plan for us, however, is not to spin in circles on the roulette wheel of life hoping we bounce off at the right place and land on success. Our Maker wants us to dream, plan and create.
Many people are simply waiting for "the big break" or longing to be "discovered;" they trust to chance, wandering through life hoping for the right lottery number to appear. Those are fantasies, not dreams. God doesn't want you to live in a fantasy world, waiting for a magical spider bite to launch you on your Spider-Man journey. Just because we're dreamers doesn't mean we have to live in a make-believe world.
The Bible says much about dreaming, and it is enlightening that the concepts of dreaming and creating are both found in the same Biblical word. Yatsar (Hebrew) means "to create;" yetser, a slightly different form of the word, means "imagination, conception, and thought." Yetser refers to the plans and purposes formed in the mind, which, of course, includes dreaming; yatsar is the resulting act of creation. So the power to create begins with the ability to dream.
This is exactly how God functions. Isaiah 46:10 states that He declares the end from the beginning. In other words, He sees or imagines the end result (yetser), backs up to form the plan or design, then begins creating (yatsar). He dreams, then He creates.

Dreams Happen! But They Don't Just Happen

Likewise, when God fashioned humans in His image, He placed within us a portion of His ability to imagine and create. We have a God-given ability to conceive something in our mind or heart, which then awakens the creativity and innovation He placed in each of us. Like Him we dream, and then we create the dream. Consider these cases-in-point.

All of these once unbelievable concepts began with a dream. Dreaming, then, unlocked creativity. And by the way, dreams don't have to be big to be substantial in their impact. Consider these "insignificant" dreams:

Someone got tired of their papers being displaced and dreamed of a paper clip. (They also made sure they were small enough to lose easily so we would have to buy trillions of them.)

Dreams happen! But they don't just happen. They're accomplished because dreaming unlocks creativity, innovation, action and originality. If you don't dream you won't create. Period. End of story. But if you do dream, you must create.
Necessity isn't the mother of invention, dreams are!

When TRUTH is lost, LIFE is lost

Watching the events surrounding the recent trial in Florida I have become aware of an imminent death-curse that lurks.  It's the bondage of the big lie.  Already many people have decided to take truth and distort it to fit the facts.  This is called Confirmation Bias.  Whatever you believe or do not believe to be true, the facts or more important the distortions of the facts are twisted to conform to the bias you already have.

If a fact or truth does not fit thru the paradigm of "Facts" as you see them, they are rendered suspect or worse labeled as lies.

The problem is truth is truth.  If a lie is accepted, it will put you in chains.  More important if we see what JESUS defined as truth, it should give us pause:

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me".  John 14:6

IF we read this properly, we can see what is really being said in an inversion, "I am the path on which you must travel, that path is made up of truth, not lies and if you fail to follow that path by accepting a lie, it will lead to your death.  You will NOT find your way to the Father by believing or accepting lies, those lies will lead you into bondage and away from the Father".

People who call themselves Christians, who jump and shout in church, who are very passionate about being a good member, those same people IF they accept rumor as truth, idea as truth, accusation as truth, those people are headed in a direction NOT leading to the Father.

I won't identify the lies being told right now, but as the time rolls on... truth will be the only way to life.  All other ways lead to death and bondage.

What will you choose?

The Beast wants you to take the CHIP

The chip he wants you to take is one on your shoulder.  He wants to separate you from others by getting you convinced that you are abused and a victim.  That will successfully cause you to become obligated to him for your provision and protection.  God offers that for free, but if the enemy can get that chip big enough you will become so alienated that you will only survive by the anti christ system he has set up.

Growing up in the western rural America we had many such in our town.  People who felt or believed that life had never worked out for them. These people I knew figured out nothing was ever going to work out for them.  There was no use.They were also the ones who (as we said often) felt like the world owed them.  They had been abused, shorted.

They had a chip on their shoulder. My dad was an employer of others.  He would never hire one such because that chip was always an obstacle to accomplishment.  They were just unlucky.  If you are gonna get lucky you gotta believe you ARE lucky.They didn't.

Now we are in a time when having a chip on your shoulder has become the mark of whole groups of people.  People reinforced by government and social propaganda has caused them to think they are owed.

The truth that no one owes you anything is one that once you get that in your head, it is a gift.  People who come from other countries to the USA to get into business are Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Indian or anything else come knowing that truth.  Nobody owes you nothing.  They come without the demon chip of entitlement.  They come and become the successful, wealthy and respected of their generation.

That chip is the reason the enemy has you convinced you can't make it.  That the game is rigged. That you are discriminated against.

YES, there are bias'.  I know them.  I heard the Spirit of God say to me this morning, "The conviction that nothing is going to work out, that everything is stacked against people and that there is no hope is NOT from ME".  

I could post about 50 Bible bullets to prove this, but I'll spare you.  I know I heard from God on this, Stop taking the mark of the Beast by that CHIP on your Shoulder.
