"The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly." Proverbs 20:27

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

These are the most exciting days to be alive in the Body of Christ, particularly for those who have chosen to enjoy intimacy with the Father and walk in the fullness of the Spirit. The Church is heading in a direction of fulfilling prophecy...becoming the head and not the tail, being far from all oppression. Spots and wrinkles...sins, symptoms and other forms of oppression, are bending their knees in the Presence of a unique Anointing... infilling and enshrouding those who have chosen to abide in that Secret Place of the Most High, desiring, more than anything else, to witness, as well as dispense the Glory.

The Holy Spirit has much to share about that marvelous newness, as the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, "Prepare ye the way for the Most High!"

THE LORD'S CANDLE

"Precious Child, your spirit is, indeed, the place in which the Mind of Christ must be revealed. Take heed! There are many seducing influences in the world. Once the Seed of Revelation is sown...that dream, vision or revelation, immediately the enemy comes to rob what was imparted from the Throne Room, utilizing this planet's worries and cares, the deceitfulness of riches...having too much or not possessing enough. Keep those eyes upon Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Beloved, defer to the spirit man.

Therein lies the truth that sets the captive free. Take no thought. Cast down vain imaginations and any high thing that attempts to exalt itself against your knowledge of the Word, who you are in Christ and what the Church has been called to perform. I am encouraging the Body to think and act big, since She represents a mighty God. Develop a first-class mentality. The sky's the limit. Whatever is seen on the inside must be gestated and birthed. Dad is to not be limited or placed in a box. When that happens, all slats are invariably kicked aside and obliterated. The Glory is poised to do far above what you are able to ask or think, via the excellency of Heaven's Power within.

As darkness increases, the Bride will maintain a single eye, strictly moving and having Her being in Me. Depend upon this certain word of prophecy. The seen was created by that not viewed. Consequently, the unseen is more potent. Natural man cannot perceive the deeper truths of the Spirit. Precious One, become God-inside minded. Count the cost! Totally sell out. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain! At the other end of your commitment abides My Glory!"

TRUST NOT IN OPPRESSION!

"The deceiver of the Brethren does not possess or embrace truth at any level. He has been a liar from the beginning. In fact, had Satan realized what he was doing, that character would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. You see, Dear Child, the truth was, and is, not in him, as he remains the author of all lies and confusion. Understand, the evil one cannot even keep his own story straight, which is why many have been halting between two opinions, remaining in the valley of decision, themselves disoriented. Know Dad's Word and boldly declare what is written and spoken, contrary to that witnessed by the natural eye. The temporal is always subject to change, completely ruled by the eternal. Again, realize that the enemy of your soul (mind, intellect, will, emotions, dreams and visions) is profoundly confused. Consequently, that trickles down into the world and sometimes, the Body, promoting additional turmoil and derision.

Without deferring to the Holy Spirit, even he very elect will be fooled, often acting and speaking in My Name, yet ever representing Daddy's Heart or manifesting the Presence. Have I not nvited you to boldly approach the Throne in times of need, for the purpose of obtaining grace? Effectiveness and success can only be enjoyed as the Kids do just that."

REVERSED CAPTIVITY!

"Oh, I was there during occasions of shame, blame and false accusations. Often, individuals, pointing the finger, sincerely believed in what they spoke, not recognizing the spirit behind their destructive articulations. Apple of My Eye, your God surely witnessed those tears of helplessness and hopelessness. However, there is no future in the past. In fact, former days are to be a servant of your future. Joy is on the horizon! Captivity will soon yield, and be remitted by, the Anointing that is permeating every atom of My Beloved. The Holy Spirit's eraser has been positioned to fully eradicate negative memories, permitting a renewal of the mind for the job that is just ahead.

Is it possible to not only forgive, but forget? Surely!

As far as the East is from the West, there is no memory in the Creator's heart of iniquities, which have been blasted away by the Blood. Such will be the case in each Child's soul, pertaining to those fears and nightmares. You don't have to recollect them either. Trust Me! Your thought life is about to be transformed!"

PREPARE TO BE ATTACKED!

"Precious Vessel, oppression is not of Me. Trust not in those former days of attack and ridicule. I was present when those circumstances seemed so overwhelming and Heaven appeared as brass. Dad has heard your cries and bottled all tears. One might question the reason for containing that anguished flow. Everything in My Kingdom has a purpose. For each droplet of expressed pain, another devil-busting outpouring will manifest...Rivers of Living Water, a proliferation of deliverance...great joy, signs, wonders and miracles. You are to be far from all oppression (Isaiah 54:14). The hour is quickly approaching when the Children will come under another type of attack, not from the forces of darkness, but the Covenant of Promise, the King of Kings, the Spirit of Prophecy, Himself!

For these blessings, salvation to the uttermost, will come upon and overtake (positively attack) every spirit and situation that is contrary to the Word. So many have given up, perceiving the Creator's will and purpose less potent and inferior to that which is described in the Book. Prepare for an army of angelic forces, as Heaven is opening its womb to release perfect gifts of healing, health, deliverance, prosperity, life and empowerment. There has never been such excitement and anticipation, pertaining to the birthing or plan. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will surely speak, and not lie. Neither will that stirring on the inside tarry. The baby is alive, Beloved! Prepare to birth My dream. Scores will stream into the Family as a direct result of your stand, subsequent experience, victory and testimony. Former weaknesses and battles are about to become earthshaking regions of Anointing and ministry. I am the God of reversed captivity!"

DAYS OF GREAT OUTPOURING

These are certainly the days of great outpouring. There has never been so much preparation and excitement in Heaven over what is programmed to transpire. I don't know about you, but Paul [Gervais] has had it with the enemy and his efforts to rob us of the Covenant. Personally, a solid mindset has been established. Regardless of what this boy thinks or sees, he is going to believe and act upon the Word, letting God be true and every man a liar. How about you?

During the earthly ministry of Jesus, He never laid sin, sickness, poverty, death, despair, defeat or destruction on anyone, but went about doing good, healing all-- not some--but all oppressed of the enemy. For God was with Him and hasn't left the Beloved, either. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever, never altering what has proceeded from His lips. The bottom line here is this-- We have been called to perform "even greater works than these." When it comes to any of the above, salvation for spirit, soul and body, the lesser is always contained in the greater! Forgiveness of sins, healing and prosperity are part of the entire package.

BUILDING STRONGER MUSCLES

The Believer has been cheated long enough. Dad is calling us to build stronger muscles, spiritually speaking, by way of those Throne Room encounters, so we can be mighty champions for the Kingdom. That is a process, since faith, in fact, comes by hearing an unveiled word from Christ.

The Church must be vigilant, as lying spirits are prolific in both the world and Body of Christ. That is where discernment remains vitally paramount, permitting the Holy Spirit free course to do His job...reveal truth, while exposing contradictions that keep us from the Covenant of Promise.

It's very disconcerting to learn that someone has been spreading false stories, especially if they are about you. However, the student is not greater than the Teacher. If Satan launched such missiles against Jesus, why should we be exempt? In fact, when that happens, there are to be two immediate realizations. The first is a recognition that lying spirits are at work to rob joy and get your goods. The other involves an acknowledgment that hell has initiated a negative smoke screen...a weapon formed to distract the Believer from revelational knowledge...a destructive pattern interrupt from the pit, if you will.

COUNTING IT AS JOY

What am I to do under those conditions? Count it as joy! Cast down vain imaginations. Simply, don't take the thought, but say, "Devil, I will not gestate that fabrication. Instead, Dad and I will spend more time together than ever, in the Secret Place of the Most High."

Lying spirits will cause us to refuse to see ourselves as we really are. Most professional photographers will admit that people usually choose pictures that look least like them. Why is that? Satan has promoted self-loathing.

Frequently, Satan's minions are successful in convincing the unconverted that they are good enough without Christ. On the other hand, a Child of God may discover himself driven into a state of condemnation, captured by past forgiven and forgotten sins, or fear of failure. But, thank the Lord, there is no negative past in Him, only a positive future. Ponder this fact. Daddy chose you and me first, sent Jesus, who freely came...gave us His Best when we were at our worst.

LYING SPIRITS

Lying spirits can also promote untruths about other people, even fellow Christians. They really enjoy that, often reversing the binoculars, causing us to see outsiders as smaller or worse than we. Self-exaltation feeds on that abasement, plugging the conduit leading from Dad's location of habitation. Then, there is no Power to witness or display His Unction.

Jesus has always been a favorite focus of lying spirits. So successful has been their dominion over the minds of men, that through the centuries more have believed the false than the truth about the Master.

When He walked this planet, the Pharisees, Sadducees, doctors of the law, scribes, as well as religious and intellectual leaders, opposed Christ because they believed wrongly that our Savior was a troublemaker, vain boaster, false Messiah and a partner of devils. The Martyrdom of Stephen and, most recently, Cassie Bernall, along with the persecution of the early Church, was accomplished by lying spirits.

They nearly wiped out Christianity in the infamous ignorance and superstition of the Dark Ages, not to mention the Inquisition. Bibles and saints have been destroyed to satisfy their lust.

GRACE ABOUNDS

Revivals have encountered them. In many places they succeeded in driving the Church underground into secret meeting places. Nevertheless, where their activity abounded, grace has much more gained ascendancy. The final outcome was invariably revival and new converts. That will never change.

Hundreds of millions have received imperfect pictures of Jesus and who they are in Christ, due to their influence. Some sadly failed to appropriate the fullness of the Covenant, having been accorded a blank check, signed with the Precious Blood of the Lamb, not knowing the vastness and enormity of Dad's bank account.

Believer, let's draw a solid line in the sand and cease questioning God's desires. That Word is His will. Lying spirits are only doing their job. Our Anointing and call are so much higher and greater than theirs. We are dealing with defeated entities. So, why give them the time of day?

JESUS INTO EVERY FIBER

As we ask the Revelator to build Jesus into every fiber, a transformation can be predicted, one that takes us from Glory to Glory. No longer will you be the tail, but the head, blessed going out and coming in, ready to distribute...always having full sufficiency is everything pertaining to life and godliness.

Repeat this profession: "Satan, I don't ever want to hear from you, again! My posture in this life will be to love and serve, obeying those nudgings and promptings on the inside. No weapon formed against me will be able to prosper. Lord, let me perceive others as You do...prophetically, even myself, so that I might call those things which be not as though they were, until each becomes...takes on flesh and dwells amongst us! The power of life and death is in the tongue. My words will set this world on fire with Your love and Presence!"

I imitate God. I copy Him and follow His example. Ephesians 5:1
