Prophetess m. brignac's Blog (137)

IT HAS BEEN, OBSERVED TO BE, THE "NATURE OF THE BEAST", THAT WHEN ONE'S "FELLOW" OR "BROTHER' HAS TAKEN A HIT, "FALLEN", GOTTEN CAUGHT UP IN A "SCANDAL", OR DESCENDED FROM GRACE IN SOME FORM, THAT WE FORM A "POSSE" OF ACCCUSERS, PERSECUTORS, AND LYNCHMEN, MUCH LIKE THE HYENAS, LIONS, AND OTHER ASSORTED SAVAGE "JUNGLE" CREATURES OF THE LAND. THE DIFFERENCE IS, THOUGH, THAT WE ALSO, HAVE THE NATURE, THROUGH OUR REGENERATION AND CONVERSION, OF A COMPASSIONATE, MERCIFUL, GRACIOUS SAVIOUR, CHRIST,SO… Continue

AS WE STAND UPON OUR WATCH, AND OBSERVE THE "BUSY-NESS" AND "GOINGS ON" WITHIN THE KINGDOM, WE CAN'T HELP BUT RECOGNIZE THE PRESENCE OF UNDESIRABLE PRESENCES AND MANIFESTATIONS, THAT ARE BLINDING US TO THE FACT, THAT WE ARE NOT REALLY STRIVING TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND RIDE THE WAVE OF LATTER DAY HARVESTING, REVIVAL, AND EVANGELISM THAT HAS BEEN SET BEFORE US. WE ARE DISTRACTED BEYOND MEASURE, AND MOST OF OUR "SERVICE" IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, HAS NO IMPACT ON THE GREAT COMMISSION, AND… Continue

THE VAST MAJORITY OF GOD'S LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN STRIVING AND CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH, THROUGH THE VARIED SEASONS OF "TRYINGS', WEARINESS, LACK, DISCOURAGEMENT, AND THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD, HAVE EXPERIENCED THOSE MOMENTS OF ANGUISH, DISMAY AND FRUSTRATION THAT WERE SO INTENSE, THEY CONTMEPLATED JUST GIVING UP MINISTRY AND RETURNING TOTHEIR "DAY JOBS". THESE ARE THE SEASONS OF DEEP GROANINGS, AND TRAVAIL TO OBEY THE LORD AND WHAT HE HAS CHARGED ONE TO DO, WITHOUT ANY (APPARENT) HELP OR… Continue

IT IS AMAZING HOW MEN, WITHOUT FAIL ,TEND TO "CANONIZE" OR PLACE ON A PEDESTAL THE DECEASED, NO MATTER HOW INCORRIGIBLE OR TERRIBLE THEY WERE IN LIFE. IT IS OUR NATURE TO ASSUME AND HOPEFULLY, DESIRE THAT THOSE WE LOVE WHO'VE MADE THEIR TRANSITION, ENTER INTO HEAVEN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY SUFFERED WHILE ON THIS EARTH. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MATTER IS THAT NO MATTER HOW "WONDERFUL" AND "GOOD" A PERSON WAS, NO MATTER HOW GENEROUS, HOW FREELY THEY GAVE TO THE POOR, FED THE HUNGRY, READ TO THE ELDERLY,… Continue

THE BIBLE DECLARES THAT "THEY THAT "WAIT UPON THE LORD, SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH! THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT GROW WEARY, AND THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT"! WE HAVE EVOLVED INTO A GENERATION OF IMPATIENT, PETULANT, COMPLAINING "NON-WAITERS"! ARE THERE ANY WHO'VE MASTERED "WAITING".? WAITING IS A "SKILL" AND REQUIRES AN ANOINTING ALL IT'S OWN! THE TRUE "WAITERS" HAVE RECEIVED THE REVELATION THAT "WAITING" IS MINISTRY! IT IS THAT TIME KNOWN AS A "DIVINE… Continue

WHEN THE JEWS WERE UNDER THE MOSAIC LAW, ALL MALE CHILDREN HAD TO BE CIRCUMCISED ON THE EIGHT DAY, AND WHEN SER, THEYVANTS AND SLAVES BECAME A PART OF THE HOUSE-HOLD HAD TO UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE AS WELL,EVEN THE OLDER MEN. BEING A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE OLDER A MAN IS WHO SUBJECTS HIMSELF TO CIRCUMCISION, THE MORE PAINFUL, INCOVENIENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE IT IS. THIS IS THE REASON PEDIATRICIANS RECOMMEND THAT IT BE DONE IN INFANCY (AT SALVATION), WHEN THE NERVE ENDINGS ARE… Continue

SO MANY OF GOD'S PEOPLE ARE BOUND UP SPIRITUALLY AND NOT EXPERIENCING TOTAL VICTORY IN THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE 'ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN", THE SOWER OF DISCORD, AND THE "OFFENDER" TO TRESPASS THEIR PEACE, ORDER AND CONTROL OF THEIR EMOTIONS. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE, SHOULD BE GIVEN THAT MUCH POWER TO , JUST BY ONE CONVERSATION, PARAGRAPH OR UTTERANCE, THROW YOUR WHOLE DAY INTO CHAOS AND UPHEAVAL AND ALTER YOUR MOOD! THAT, BELOVED, IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH POWER FOR SOMEONE WHO, IN… Continue

SEX HAS BEEN A "HOT TOPIC" (NO PUN INTENDED) WITHIN THE BODY O CHRIST FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT A FEW DECADES AGO, THIS WAS TABOO, AND ONE WAS SUBJECT TO REBUKE FOR EVEN MENTIONING IT, MARRIED OR NO. ONE OF THE CHIEF QUESTIONS REVOLVES AROUND THE" MARRIAGE BED". PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE SCRIPTURE "THE MARRIAGE BED IS "UNDEFILED" HEBREWS 13:4 MANY HAVE TAKEN THIS TEXT TO THE EXTREME AND USE IT TO JUSTIFY WHAT GOD CONSIDERS TO BE "LASCIVIOUSNESS" AND, OFTEN, PERVERSION. YES, THE… Continue

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THE THINGS OF GOD FRO ANY LENGTH OF TIME CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT THE WEAKEST AREA OF OPERATION OF ANY GIVEN CHURCH, IS THE SAME AREA GOD DESIGNATED TO BE THE CHURCH'S PRIMARY POWER SOURCE, THAT BEING "PRAYER"! IT HAS NEVER BEEN MAN'S "ADAMIC" NATURE TO WILLINGLY COME BEFORE THE LORD IN SELF EXAMINATION, DEEP CONTRITION, AND TO COMMUNE WITH GOD IN PRAYER AND IT'S STILL DIFFICULT TO GET THEM TO DOSO CONSITENTLY AND AS A WAY OF LIFE!. THIS PROCESS IS NOT REALLY… Continue

WOW! WE'VE ACTUALLY SHUT DOWN ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER DAY AND ANOTHER TRIAL, AND WE'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE TRYING OF OUR FAITH IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY , "WE ARE STILL HERE!" WE MAY HAVE TO "PIECE" OURSELVES TOGETHER, WOBBLE TO OUR FEET, STUMBLE OUT OF THE DOOR, SPILL MORE COFEE THAN WE CAN GET IN OUR MOUTHS, SHAKE OFF THE "DIRT" FROM THAT LAST ROUND WITH THE DEVIL WHERE HE HAD YOU PINNED TO THE MAT, BUT HE UNDERESTIMATED THE "CHIEF "REFEREE, BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT DOWN FOR… Continue

THE MYSTERY OF "SOUL TIES" HAS BEEN A POINT OF INTEREST FOR MANY BELIEVERS OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES, AND IT IS A SUBJECT WORTH INVESTIGATING AND EXPLORING. "MAN" AS WE KNOW IS A TRIUNE BEING, IN THAT MAN IS A SPIRIT, HE LIVES IN A BODY, POSSESSES A SOUL. THAT WHICH WE CULTIVATE THE MOST IS THE ASPECT OF OUR BEING THAT WILL IDENTIFY AND GUIDE US. WE WERE DESIGNED T OPERATE, APPROPRIATELY, IN OUR EMOTIONS AND NOT FOR OUR EMOTIONS TO BE "OPERATING US." THE "SOUL" IS THE REALM OF THE EMOTIONS AND… Continue

WHEN ABRAHAM WAS C0UNSELED BY THE SAME GOD, WHO HAD SO KINDLY BLESSED HIM WITH THIS SON HE SO ADORED AND LOVED, TO OFFFER HIM UP AS A SACRIFICE, ABRAHAM DIDN'T MURMUR, BECOME BITTER OR QUESTION GOD, AND HE OBEYED IMMEDIAATELY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE RESPONDED IN A MOST UNORTHODOX WAY, IN THAT HE FIRST, HAD ALL THE COMPLACENT, LETHARGIC, SLOTTHFUL,, PITIFUL SPECTATORS STAY BEHIND WHILE HE PRESSED ON UP TO THE MOUNT AND HE STOPPED TO WORSHIP! I'M PERSUADED THAT THIS SINGLE ACT OF EXTREME… Continue

In the book of Acts 16 verses 22-27 tell a very profund story of the Apostles Paul and Silas's trials and brutal sufferings for the "pleasure" of spreading the glorious Gospel of Jesus, the Christ. By this time they had been apprehended, charged and accused, beaten, placed in extremely uncomfortable and further torturous "stocks". "And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who having received such charge, thrust them into… Continue

There dwells amongst us, as Christ's "Church" , a population of people who are often neglected, overlooked, pushed to the side,walked over, and dismissed as just being the much celebrated "man of God's" "GOOD THING", and some are covertly referred to as "arm pieces", to help "Pastor"/"Bishop" look good and to facilitate "his" vision or ministry. She is fondly (sometimes", and sometimes not) known as "FIRST LADY"! Many forget or never consider that she is a chosen vessel as well, and that she… Continue

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT NOT EVERYONE IS AWARE THAT THERE ARE DISTINCTIVE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRAISE AND WORSHIP, AND THERE ALWAYS HAS BEEN. ALL WORSHIP IS PRAISE, BUT NOT ALL PRAISE IS WORSHIP. ALL OF CREATION PRAISES GOD BY IT'S VERY EXISTENCE, BUT MAN WAS DESIGNED, FASHIONED AND COMMANDED TO WORSHIP GOD. ALL OF MANKIND CAN PRAISE, BUT THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE CAREFULLY SCANNING THE EARTH FOR THOSE WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO BE WORSHIPPERS. PRAISE USUALLY UNFOLDS IN THE REALM OF "I" OF "ME"… Continue

Of all the certainties and promises of God and of life, the most active and most profoundly consistent one is PAIN. Suffering has been assured since Genesis3:15" And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Acts 15:"Confirming the soul of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith and that we must ' THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD." I'm certain that all of us… Continue

It is of great concern to those of us who are watchmen, intercessors, petitioners, beseechers, travailers, lamenters, and such, that we, as believers and "kingdom representatives", quickly assume an aggressive, defensive posture with one another with little provocation. I believe that we often forget that " WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT AGAINST POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES, RULERS OF DARKNESS, AND SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES!" There's no argument that we DO WRESTLE all the day… Continue
