Jesus-The Lion of Judah Fights Against His Enemies!

Beloved,

I rec'd the following from my friend, Pris. This is a message the Lord gave Dieter who lives in Germany. What is important to understand is that Mr. Obama is bringing God's judgment against the U.S., because of the choices he's making against Israel. God was serious when He said He would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. Gen. 12:3

The Lion of Judah fights against His enemies!

Zech 12:3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. NKJV

Loved brothers and sisters in Yeshua, Today I received several revelations from GOD, about which I may only publish however the latter. I saw Yeshua standing in the sky as a the Lion of Judah with the Scepter of His rule as the true King of Israel before me. HE roars against His enemies, particularly against those, which are against Israel & approach to suppress her and to make her bend to their dictates.

Joel 3:16 NKJV The Lord also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem;

The heavens and earth will shake; But the Lord will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

Afterwards I saw clearly president Obama on a high wooden stilts with a Staff & saw, how the Lion of Judah with a blow of His right paw, which smashed Obama's right stilt, so that the stilt broke and president Obama broke away from being on the right page . Thereupon I saw a large and majestic white-headed eagle, which represents the coat of arms animal of the USA in the sky.

The eagle tried to fly as it used to, into the heights. On its flight I saw upward the fact that the wing of its right side was injured, and was carried like a brace. Thus it was weakened and did not achieve dominating strength and flight altitude, like it was used to doing. Where it went he could not control. With each new flight test, at a height to try to win, it stopped after a short time on the right side, in order to float in circling flights downward & again downward. Its strength was broken.

Ezek 30:6 NKJV 'Thus says the Lord: "Those who uphold Egypt shall fall, And the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene those within her shall fall by the sword," Says the Lord God.

This revealing says: GOD does not support the USA any longer through

Obama's reign!

I heard a voice say: "In such a way it is issued that each nation against Israel and its true ruler rises!" And to the USA: "Also you, who were large and feared in the nations of the earth, will become strengthless now. Because of your constant pride and arrogance you are made small!"

He will no more support those, who strike holy Israel, only those who will rely in truth & on the Son of Man, "

Written, 31 July 2009

Isa 10:20 NKJV And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

President Obama's cometful high-altitude flight is stopped first! Instead of "Yes we CAN" He must admit now "Yes we can't!" Whoever attacks the existence Israel, in the long run through GOD's intervention will be stopped. An important excerpt from revealing me GOD gave here again: His right paw, smashed the right stilt of Obama's so that the stilt broke and Obama broke away from being on the right page as president".

Read the cutout of an article of of FOCUS ON-LINE ONES from 17 August 2009 as its one which GOD confirmed to me on the 31. July 2009. The health reform was one of the stilts (the domestic large-scale project of Obama's) which now literally away-broke - As I was seeing , it was allowed.

FOCUS ONLINE vom 17.8.09: "Health reform: Obama nicks!"

"The health reform is the domestic large-scale project Obamas. But it becomes ever more questionable, how much of the noble plans remains. Now the US president under the pressure of his opponents had to bend ."

Von EIP (European Info press) On August - 5 - 2009

JERUSALEM - in Israel hangs a poster with the text: "Obama! Let My People Grow. "With this modified sentence from the Bible opposite the Egyptian Pharaoh "Let My People Go! " (Let my people pull) too "Let My People GROW! - let my people grow!" protests one in Israel against the demand of US president Obama to impose over the Jewish settlements a suspension of growth and building work. Netanjahu protests always again for wanting the American pressure to stop, for not giving way, and the building of apartments in the settlements. But the numbers of the Israelis, which will live in Judea and Samaria was reported, & the fact that Netanjahu introduced unofficially a suspension of building work because new building licenses are not being given, & this is why new projects remain unbuilt.

Psalm 91 - Experienced!

You know there are those times that we read The Word, and we read The Word...and we read THE WORD. We hear The Word, hear The Word...and then HEAR THE WORD of the Living God....And we take in His Word....for how will they know unless they hear? How will we know unless we read and hear? And we grow...we take His Word into us...and we grow, because when we take in His Word, we are really taking Jesus in to us...because HE IS THE WORD! And the Word is LIVING!...And the Word grows inside of us, because it is alive, and God makes it grow just like He does a seed in the ground. We plant a seed, water (and talk to it), fertilize, spritz, spray and pray....and one day, POP!...a little shoot above ground.....But before it pops above ground, it must grow in the dark unseen places....But it grows (well, unless you planted a vegetable garden like I DON'T do anymore!)

And we go through life, taking in His Word, and Jesus, filling up with His Spirit...and then something happens that just smacks you in the face, or the gut, or the heart....and God will give us a literal experience to the reality of His Word, His Spirit, His Truth and Who HE IS IN OUR LIVES.

I can't tell you how many times I have quoted that God will never ever, no not ever, leave us nor forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5 from the Amplified Bible) And this past year, when my most profound prayer from my gut was "God help!", and my mind and heart just could not seem to wrap around very much scripture....God was still there....He IS deeper still....

So, I'd like to share with you how He's brought the reality and Truth of Psalm 91 to the forefront this past week in my life. Will you read with me please? (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 91

v. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,

and the Most High your dwelling place, (Ps. 91: 1, 14)

v. 10 There shall no evil befall you,

nor any plague or calamity come near your tent,

v. 11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

v. 12 They shall bear you up on their hands,

lest you dash your foot against a stone.

[Luke 4:10, 11; Heb. 1, 14]

v. 14 BECAUSE HE HAS SET HIS LOVE UPON ME,

THEREFORE WILL I DELIVER HIM;

I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name ;

has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love and kindness - trusts

and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

v. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will deliver him and honor him.

v. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

So here's been my week....

Last week Friday, I was driving the highway....70 mph, mindin' my own bidness', when all of a sudden I heard a sound as if I were driving on a rumble strip...which my mind quickly accessed that there was NO rumble strip as the sound increased in intensity....Pulling off I-96 about one mile before my exit, I walked around the end of my car to view a flatter than flat tire...and smoke from the heat! Cell phone in hand...I was going to call my husband (only an hour away! - What's a wife to do?!)....I hadn't even flipped open my pink link to the outside world, when my peripheral vision caught the glimpse of a white auto to my left....It took me a bit off guard....of course by this time, my mind was in a bit of disarray!....THANK-YOU, JESUS! It was a valiant/galient sheriff's deputy come to my aid! Jesus had driven to my aid in a white, sheriff's department car! WooHoo! I hadn't even had time to pray..."Dear God...." HE PROVIDED BEFORE I EVEN ASKED!!!

The deputy was on his way to the scene of a previous accident to do some more investigation....Sure, he'd change my tire. With both our heads inside the trunk, scrounging around for what I knew to be there...but how did they stuff it all in there?....I commented, "I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but I am...AND THIS IS GOD!"

He queried, "Have you been here long?"....And I'm thinking..."Buddy, I JUST pulled off the highway!"....We're talking a matter of seconds...not minutes...seconds!

This is when it gets really God....THERE WAS ABOUT AN 8" GASH IN THE REAR RIGHT TIRE! It had totally blown out! And, I was able to pull off the highway, smooth as glass....

OK...Now, fast forward to yesterday....We've had a "issue" with bees trying to build a nest and infest our enclosed porch....(Last Sunday it sounded like a beehive INSIDE our screened in porch!...Oh...No, no, no, no, NO!) ~Well, the little pests decided to make their way back...so, yesterday, after giving a piano lesson...and my hubby was at work...I thought, "No problem...I'll just climb the ladder and squirt them with our can of handy dandy Bee Be Gone and get them before they get me!....Going up the ladder and giving them a full blast was the easy part...It was coming back down....Looking down to make sure I could see where to put my foot...I THOUGHT I'd made it to the bottom rung and was soon to touch bottom - Cement....About midway down in mid-flight, I knew that I'd not perceived my situation correctly...and I hit the ground full force on my prosthetic, left hip and bee-hind....I just laid on the ground for about a minute or so....listening to the cars whizzzzz past our home...and probably someone (or at least I hope so!), wondering why I'd be lying on the sidewalk in front of my entry door...just gazing up at the sky!....No way was I just sun-bathing! You know what I mean?

This time...there was no cell phone at hand....no neighbor close enough to even remotely hear a cry for help....so I just lay still until I got my bearings and my courage to get up....Everything moved....My derriere hurt like the dickens, but I could move....Well, later, I called my orthopaedic surgeon's office...just to touch base...Yeah, come on in for x-rays....Well, PRAISE GOD...everything is just fine!

Now...if this isn't PROOF of God's protection....I don't know what is!

By the way...the Lord also took care of my dryer issue w/ Sears...Yes, I had to make the phone calls...but He directed me to the person who saw to it that the job would be done right! THANK-YOU, JESUS!!!!

My blogging will experience a brief two week intermission....See ya' later!

Be blessed everyone!

I believe that because something heavenly is emerging and birthing the kingdom of darkness rouses situations and emergent circumstances to distract our attention and response away from it.

It is theft.

Let's call it what it is.


URGENT or ETERNAL: A Call for Empty Hands

August 17, 2009

Is It Urgent or Eternal?

Emptying Our Hands for the Lord

Recently a friend who feels tasked with writing a book asked me how I find time to write because life constantly presents so much urgent stuff. I was shocked by my own answer but relieved by it at the same time. Regarding all of the urgent stuff I said, "Ignore it." Shocking!

This is something that I have learned: The Urgent is the enemy of the Eternal.

Have you noticed that when God gives you a vision of an Eternal mission or purpose all of earth and all of hell begin to kick up a fuss? Statistically this is impossible to ignore and perhaps it is more revelatory than we know. Could it be that the intensity which you are bombarded with distraction and opposition is an indicator of the degree of Eternal Significance God has placed upon that which you are called to do or called to become? I am sure of it.

When God asks us to participate in His heavenly initiatives we must be free to give ourselves and all of our attention to Him. We must be free to respond to Him and to be responsible which in fact means "able to respond." We are so privileged to be invited and included in what He is doing.

Watchman Nee says it sublimely; he encourages us to empty ourselves of all that would put any restriction on our response to God. He instructs that we must not have "anything in hand" that would prevent us from using our hands to do the work of the Lord. He tells us that we must stand before the Lord with open and empty hands waiting to respond to His word, his call, His movement.

It follows that we have to watch what we react to and we must carefully consider things that we pick up. So often we are reactive to most anything that impacts us. This often is an emotional response and we have come to see it as loving and Christian. So, the enemy uses this to keep many totally preoccupied with reacting emotionally to needs, to crises, to news. It is a form of bondage. Are we the sons and daughters of God to be led by the urgent, the seemingly needful, the popular? Jesus said, "One thing is needful." Him.

In regard to urgent things we have to ask ourselves, "Who determines urgency?" Typically it is the person presenting the scenario, the one calling on the phone, the one displaying the most emotional reaction. The squeaky wheel gets the grease more often than not. How many squeaky wheels have we oiled with the anointing that God has poured upon our lives? We pour out and pour out in our emotional reactions and then we find we feel spent and burnt out.

For years I have asked the Lord about His late arrival at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. I am not challenging Him; I just want to get the revelation if you know what I mean. One layer of revelation in the seemingly delayed response of Jesus is that He determines urgency. He sets the times and the seasons; our part is to discern them. He is the Christ, the anointed One, who is fully submitted to the Father. He only says what the Father is saying, He only speaks what He hears the Father speak, He only moves as the Father moves. Let it be on earth as it is in heaven.

I really believe, and by the way I have learned the hard way, that all of our responses are for Him.
Romans 6:13 instructs us to yield and submit all of our selves-every aspect of our beings-to Him for His use, and He will use us as His instruments of righteousness. And Lord, let us not incline our ears to another!

I believe that because something heavenly is emerging and birthing the kingdom of darkness rouses situations and emergent circumstances to distract our attention and response away from it. It is theft. Let's call it what it is.

I believe this need to discern the difference between the urgent and the eternal is what Jesus talked about when He said all that business about leaving your father and mother and such. He spoke in parables, I believe--since He led by example and He never left His precious mother unattended to. Think of Him calling out to John from the Cross, "John, My man, take care of My Mother!" I believe He means that to birth Eternal things and moves of God and Heavenly initiatives we must 'leave' the clambering, urgent, fussy, and sometimes even what others deem important.

The organizational strategist Steven Covey says, "Don't get caught up in the thick of thin things."

We, as Spirit-led sons and daughters of God must stop reacting! We must quiet our spirits in His Presence and ask "Lord, how are You RESPONDING to this situation?" Then when we allow His response to flow through us heaven comes to earth and His will is manifested.

Sometimes we over manage our own lives. We want to manage our time, our relationships, our careers, our children and their lives... I have been a miserable failure at this! So, I have turned it over to His responsibility. His care is perfect and He loves my children more than I do. He loves them perfectly.

Being free of feeling responsible for everything that goes on around me---and free from making certain people are happy and happy with me---well--it is freedom. I can attest that since He has brought me into this place all of my relationships are blessed and so is the work that I do.

I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him---and that's everything.

So, having said all of that... You really need to be free to do all that He is calling you to do in this season of harvest. Take your liberty from all that He reveals to you is hindering you from the task. Sometimes we stay on the Path of Life that He has for us by way of what we are willing to ignore. Either He is the Master, or the urgent things are the master. It is a call to toughness in a way. Or discipline.

Press on!

Love and Jesus,

Kelly

Roots and Suffering

I received the following from Priscilla Van Sutphin the other day....Now, if you read Friday's post, you will understand why I just get so thrilled with the Lord when He sends His confirmation - especially when I'm feeling a bit worn out from my own journey the Lord has me on! Please note that the italicized, bold and red type are my edits, because I cannot highlight them in this blog.
Are you suffering for Christ's sake...the Body of Christ?....Then I say to you, you've got roots, baby!
And when your breakthrough comes...He is THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS THE GLORY!
Be encouraged today!
Love and blessings always,
Crista

Rev 22:2-5 NKJV2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Understanding Suffering
Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com/

Many are saying why me Lord? Understanding suffering will help us see our own purpose in order to have endurance during those times. Most suffering is not from God. God does no evil. God is a father and a father cares and loves his children. At the same there are some who are not teaching Christians in how to deal with suffering. In this article I will try to help you understand suffering. Besides, there is more than one form of suffering that Christians will go through. You must say why do you go through this kind of suffering, then think about what you're doing for the Kingdom and this will tell you why.
The Word says; “Jesus Christ learned obedience by the things which He suffered.” –Heb.. 5:8. When we are going to live a life of obedience we will suffer at certain times. Suffering comes to see if we will stand in our obedience to the Lord. The Word say; “Yes, and all who desire to live in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” –2 Tim. 3:12. When you desire to follow the ways of the Lord and to be lead by the Holy Spirit there will be attacks of suffering that come against you.
Don’t listen to them and don’t be moved by them, and don’t count your life dear to yourself. The Word says; “There is a blessing upon those that are persecuted for righteousness sake.” –Matt. 5:10. God will bless those in this life and the next that willingly go through suffering for the Gospel sake. The Word says we suffer for righteousness sake. The Word says; “That we should rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. “ –1 Pet. 4:13. We are to rejoice and believe God for exceeding joy to come from God. The Word says we are to partake in Christ’s suffering. There are rewards that come through partaking in His suffering.
In addition, we are to fellowship in his sufferings with the saints. What we suffer we gain with Christ. When we are conformed to His death we will partake with the power of His resurrection. We are to know Him in His sufferings and in His power. –Phil. 3:10-11. The Word says; “If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God will rest upon you.” –1 Pet. 4:14.
When we go through suffering we are blessed and the Spirit of glory and of God will rest upon you. Apart from that, the Word says; “about Apostle Paul that he rejoice in his suffering for the church of Colossians, he said he was fill up in his flesh what was lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the Church.” –Col. 1:24.
This shows us that apostles will go through suffering on the behalf of the churches that they care for, and if they suffer shall not other Christians suffer with them. Christians will suffer for the church to come forth in victory.
Nevertheless, the Word says; “about those who don’t have any root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the Word’s sake, immediately they stumble.” – Mk. 4:17. Not every one can go through such suffering for Christ. Some Christians don’t have good roots in Christ yet. The Word says that tribulation and persecution arise for the Word’s sake. Suffering comes For the Word sake. This is why Christians must be grounded in the Word and in Love before suffering comes.
Furthermore, the Word says; “ in Acts eight that great persecution arose against the church and what do we see when we read this that the Word spread everywhere. In Acts eleven that after persecution arose that church of Antioch was birthed. Wow! This tells us that no matter what happens, the Church will move forth.
It says that through many tribulations we enter into the Kingdom of God. –Acts 14:22.

Desolation and Desperation

Beloved, have you been feeling desolate and desperate of late? Has the Lord brought you to the Valley of the Shadow of Death...that desert place of isolation and grief out of which only HE can deliver you? Are you not only in the fire, but it has been intensified to the nth degree? Then you will understand the following encouragement that the Lord gave me this morning....If not now, then someday.....

As some of you know this last year has been a haul....and how all that relates to the vision for LifeCare Ministries....Lately, the Lord has led me to Is. 54:1 and how barrenness/desolation in this scripture parallels the original promise He gave me for this ministry from Gen. 18:14. More are the children of the desolate than the married....Sarah was barren and beyond childbearing age, yet the Lord said at the appointed time, according to the time of LIFE, that Sarah would bear a son.

Here's what the Lord put on my heart this morning with Him:
1) Desolation stokes the fires of desperation.
Isaiah 54:1 In our desolation, the intensity of our desperation is multiplied exponentially to the nth degree. .....Can anyone say 3 Hebrew children and the fire being stoked 7 times hotter at this point?

2) Desperation fuels the intensity of our prayers.
It's not the words we use, but the depth of the heart...not what comes out of our heads, but what comes out of our gut/bellies/heart - Out of our bellies shall flow rivers of Living Water. Allowing the Holy Spirit to pray through us with groanings IS LIVING WATER! Rom. 8:18-26. On the Cross, Jesus cried out, "MY GOD! MY GOD! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?!"
It is exactly this type of prayer/communication with God which pours out of us with the passion that is only birthed out of desperation and desolation.

3) Righteousness and obedience in the face of desolation reap the harvest.
Believe in God in the desert! In the desolate/Valley places, the choices we make determine the outcome. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. Gal. 3:6 In Gal. 6:9, God promises that we shall reap a harvest if we do not weary in doing good. In other words, in the desert, in the Valley, we continue to be found faithful, conforming to the will of God, trusting in God - THROUGH THE VALLEY/THROUGH THE DESERT - and HE WILL BRING THE HARVEST FROM THE BARREN PLACES.

God bless you....Numbers 6:24-26
In His love always~
Crista

WARNING!

Wake-up call! Watch this video from Glen Beck via FOX NEWS posted on YouTube.
DO NOT GO TO cars.gov! We are not to live in fear, but to live as wise for the days are evil.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAOBlqUqUZ8

Remember, the Lord admonishes us to be as gentle as "wise as serpents and harmelss as doves." Matt. 10:16

"See then that you walk circumstpectly, not as fools but as wise,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is."

Ephesians 5:15-17

Trust in God!

I rec'd the following from my dear friend, Leigh Larson, who awoke to this email message from the Lord via Pastor Alex in the Philippines whom InTents Ministry supports. How timely!

This is what the Lord says ... your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

"I am the Lord your God,Who teaches you what is best for you,

Who directs you in the way you should go."Isaiah 48:17†††

Many today, are waiting for and seeking direction.

Lives have changed, situations have changed, careers have changed ...

but our God in Heaven never changes!

He is ready to direct our pathways ..

but first, we must learn to let go of what has been,

and allow God to work and move, and give Him the reins.

He knows what we can do alone,

but He wishes us to allow Him to do for us,

in His own very special way.

Better things are in store, for those who will be faithful to trust.

We cannot allow fear to take over.

We cannot allow the enemy to steal our focus, or our joy.

God is our Stronghold, in all troubles, and we must never, ever forget that!

There are times when we need to trust in God, and in Him Alone,

and it is that time for many today!

His power is far above that of our situations and circumstances!

He has the perfect way out of troubles, if we will only remain focused upon Him!

The Lord via Pastor Alex

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not

on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your paths."

PRAY!

Saints....We are just plain called to pray for the unity of the saints...the brotherhood of believers...for the Church....for our president....and for our country. There is much at stake right now.
II Chronicles 7:14-16
We are to look in one direction ----> UP! Look up, for Our Redeemer draws nigh...HE IS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR, The Glory and Lifter of our heads. He IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA...HE IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord....Repent....and get our hearts right before Him.
Be blessed this day.
