Grace and Peace to All
It has been awhile since the Father has instructed me to write a word from him. But tonight, well this morning on my way from service, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me while driving. He said to share my testimony and deliver what ‘Thus Saith the Lord’.

The past 3 months of 2009 has been the most trying time of my 19 years of living. I had family to persecute me…literally run my name in the ground, like a seed about to take root. As well as people I know saying she is not who she say she is, she does not hear from the Lord, her mind is too young to process the fatalities of the world, etc, etc, etc.. From there to the Father telling me to move 3 hours away from home, 3 weeks ago, to the Atlanta area, a place of unfamiliarity, not knowing how I will survive, but moving on what thus saith the Lord. When God said GO, I went. I left with a packed car, full tank of gas, and $20. I didn’t wait for payday from anyone, because I could have easily received help from a relative, but God said move now and he will supply my every need.

From there to being attacked at night by a demonic force that would literally shake me awake, pinch, grab… you name it. Mind you, I have had experiences like this before where a being would come and wake me up which I recognized at the time was Angelic. But there was a difference in the former encounter and the one I had experienced. My bible declares in 2 Timothy 1:7 that ‘God has not given up the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind’. There is a difference in feeling the spirit of the Lord and seeing his glory cloud when awakened in the room than awaking afraid, fearful. It was hard to pray.. I would find myself saying “Father God in the name of Jesus_________”. You notice there is blank. I would go blank and couldn’t find anything to pray about… I know it sounds sad, but it is true! This means Calling Forth, Binding, Releasing, Pulling Down…nada, nothing was happening. Coming from never hearing of street ministry, to suddenly becoming social enough in order to fulfill the call of ‘street preaching’. Uncomfortable…!! I’ve had individuals to say to me you could have done street ministry in your home town, why come to Atlanta to minister when people there needed you? My reply… ‘The Lord did not call me to my home town. A prophet is not welcome in his own country. (Luke 4:21-30).’

To make a long story short, I have never been this uncomfortable. It’s called PROCESS. The Lord declared that this would be a year of birthing, processing, and Great Favor. When we in the body of Christ make the declaration to God that ..’we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God..’(Rom. 12:1)..that was it!

Honestly, when I spoke this I was thinking God I will die for you. But God has revealed to me that this verse is more spiritual than natural. Just like he gave us the power in the book of Jeremiah to root up, tear down, replant, which is in the spirit realm, so is he doing to us, spiritually. The Lord is killing our flesh starting with the leaders. In order to obtain GREAT FAVOR! In order to unlock what the Lord has for you in this season, he has to make you uncomfortable! ….Dieing to you flesh. I hear God saying now, that he has stripped you of your Normality to fit you in your Destiny. When something of Greatness is being birthed labor pains will be intense, travail will be heard throughout the spiritual hospital, because God said he cannot bring you into something new, when you have old residue. Amen? Amen. The spirit of the Lord is saying that he taking his sons and daughter through the Job Experience. The Lord said remember Old People and Old Mentalities CAN NOT come with you into Greatness. It will spoil the atmosphere…Let them go! Everyone cannot participate in your blessing, because they are not SPIRITUALLY QUALIFIED to enter BEHIND THE VEIL where thus lies what God has for you. Increase your faith, because by your faith you are made whole! Begin to decree and declare. The Word of Lord reads ‘ You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.’ (Job 22:28). And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matt.18:18)..and ask of it in Jesus name and it will be given unto you, so it may be glorified in the Son.(John 14:13,14). So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.(Luke 11:9).

In the midst of pain, God still has blessed me in so many ways. I am still uncomfortable when it comes to sleep, peace and finances, but I am willing to press my way through the wilderness and let my light shine ever so bright to bring whomever is in the darkness into the light.

John 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

And last but not least, just tonight, the Lord directed me a different way home. I asked why, and he said he would show me. I rode down this unfamiliar path and the Lord told me to look to my right and tell my people who are called by my name what you see…

I saw Sunrise(Baptist Church).

The main word is Sunrise! For pain endureth for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning…

The Lord said Embrace Your Morning, for morning has come!

Rejoice, Again I Say Rejoice! Overflow!!!


Shalom
In His Service
