Exodus 14:14: The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace.

Rest commands results. Trust commands your rest. Its when you hold your peace that God will fight for you. God only fights for you when you hold your peace. God only fights when you take your rest because while you are taking your rest, that’s when he can provoke a supernatural intervention to show up and to fight for you. When you can take your rest, when everything else is going on around you, and you’re in confidence and you had an expression of commitment and you’ve made God your source, and you’ve gotten to the point where you have ceased from your labor, and you have taken your rest, that’s when Jehovah will command supernatural intervention to show up and fight and he now fill fight your battle while you hold your peace.

Thank you Jesus.

Everybody is not happy for a dreamer

Some people stop  dreaming when times get tough.  Some people lose their vision when things get rough.  Why stop dreaming, because one of them didn’t come true when you thought it should? Why stop now? You’ve come so far. If you can make your mind line up with your spirit, and your dreams, then your dreams will become your reality. It has to. It has no choice.

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is of Joseph. Joseph had a dream and his brothers wanted to kill him for dreaming. Sometimes when you dream you will go through all kinds of hell to see it come to pass. When you share your dream with others, some people will get mad at you, call you crazy and eventually try to discourage you.

Right now in these tough economic times in our country there are lots of people who are wondering how they're going to pay the mortgage or the rent, or feed your families. And there are lots of people who have lost their houses and jobs and the very same people that brought over the house warming gifts are laughing at them now. I understand the hurt, but don't let it get you down.  I admire and respect people so much that have a dream and go for it. Don’t ever lose that GO FOR IT attitude because you will see your dreams come true as long as you don’t operate in fear. After you’ve done all stand and stand some more.

So what happens when you had this big dream and it seems to be falling apart? You seem to be losing it…what do you do? I look to this story of Joseph, and you really should read this Bible story. It’s fascinating. It is so parallel to what is going on right now in this country. But this is what happened. When his dream seemed to be falling apart he did something awesome. The Bible says Joseph dreamed another dream. Dream another dream. If one thing fails, try something else. Learn from your mistakes and try it again. So what if it got hard for a season, it will only be that way for a season. I cannot even begin to tell you all the times I failed, but every failure in your life will bring your dream closer to you. I know that sounds crazy but it’s so true. It’s okay to fail, now get up and keep dreaming. Don’t stop dreaming because you may have lost something. It’s hard to see a dream come to pass, but if you believe, it has no choice.

Everywhere you look you see all of this talk about the economy and gloom and doom. Turn that mess off. Stop letting that get into your spirit. Tune it out, watch things that will encourage you. Listen to things that will uplift you.

Now if you feel like you are being led by God to do something in these economic times that most people will think is crazy. Do it.  The ones who may not have a dime but are feeling like something great is about to break free in their lives. You are so right if this is what you’re feeling. I have a suggestion if you’ll take my humble advice
-- HAVE NO FEAR! ONLY BELIEVE! Give thanks for where you are. I know that may be hard to do, but there is a liberty in being thankful. And lastly, give, give, give. There is power in giving.  You reap what you sow. If you want favor from God, sow it into someone else.

God bless you and know that this too shall pass, and you will be so much better when it does.

WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT CHANGES IN PETROLEUM, OIL, GAS, ETC.

Prophetic words of Kim Clement. 

From Dallas, TX- Changes with Petroleum

May 22, 2005 - Dallas, TX

"For the Spirit of God says, do you realize that there is a marked moment in time in the summer where there will be a divine transference of masses of amounts of money? Keep your eye on the gold. Keep your eye on that one substance. Also keep your eyes open for you shall see things changing with petroleum. You shall see things changing with something new that shall come forth. Invest into it says the Spirit of the Lord. You'd better listen some of you investors. This is not petroleum. This is not oil. This is something else that is safer and God wants to share a secret tonight. Go and study it. I don't have the words. The Spirit of the Lord has hidden it from me. But He tells me there's something other than petroleum or gas or whatever you call it, oil, that's coming forth that's gonna be used. Invest in it for it will bring some of you millions of dollars within a 14 month period says the Lord. It begins with an E. That's all I've got. Now if anybody wants to become very rich, get ready because the stock market's gonna open up. NASDAQ is opening up. There are things opening up in the public places that God says I'm gonna pour out and give to you what rightfully belongs to you if you want it!"

Find an IDENTITY that matches your DESTINY

Look for someone who is where you want to be and learn from his or her example.  You can't afford to get comfortable and sit with those who aren't continually trying to grow.

If you are going to succeed in living your destiny, you have to separate from those who will try to pull you back into your past weaknesses.  One of the first things you have to do is separate from those who are operating in the same weaknesses that you used to operate in, because if you keep trying to hang out with them, all that will do is pull you back into those same weaknesses. » Read More

Intercessory Prayer

In order for God to rescue someone out of a situation, someone is going to have to pray for God to move.  He needs a person to incercede and pray.

All God needs is one person.  It is interesting that God is all powerful, yet He limited himself to what he can do on the earth by his need to come through a man.  » Read More

Responding To Those Who Mistreat Us

LIVE GENEROUSLY AND GRACIOUSLY TOWARD OTHERS...' MATTHEW 5:48

Here's how Jesus says we should respond to those who mistreat us:  'Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: "Eye for eye,  tooth for tooth." Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: "Do not hit back at all." If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, gift wrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if  someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously. You are familiar with the old written law, "Love your friend," and its unwritten companion, "Hate your enemy." I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out ! the best in you, not the worst.

When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best - the sun to warm and the rain to nourish - to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that. In a word, what I'm saying is, "Grow up. You are kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you"' (Matthew 5:38-48 TM). » Read More

Be Still!

'BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD...' PSALM 46:10

Anxious soul, God is saying to you today, 'Be still, and know that I am God...' And there's a reason He's saying it. Your activity, when born out of anxiety, actually prevents Him from showing Himself strong on your behalf. That doesn't mean you are to be passive or lazy; it just means you are to do whatever He leads you to do without running ahead of Him in the energy of the flesh! It also means you are to submit to Him first, then slow down and wait! In other words, make sure you have a sense of peace to go along with the ideas you believe He's given you. Ask Him to reveal to you His will in the matter, then 'be still...' and acknowledge that He's God, He's in charge, He knows what He's doing!  Learn to trust Him without always demanding to know! what He's going to do, when He's going to do it, and how He's going to carry it out. Jesus said, 'I am the vine, and ye are the branches...' (John 15:5 KJV). Until you really embrace those words you will keep trying to do things that only God can do - like blessing yourself, promoting your own ministry, solving your own problems and answering your own prayers. Or worse, you will try to cover up for Him because you think He's not doing it fast enough, or in the way it should be done. Give it up! Try less and trust more! Jesus said, 'I am the vine, ye are the branches...' All you have to do is stay connected! » Read More
