Hey Everyone……………………

It seems that either thru my own ignorance of other interference most
everyone missed last weeks miracles. The original which I wrote on my
laptop has disappeared and it bums me out, because when I am truly writing
inspired things seem to come out so easily. Those of you who know me know
that I can only really write anything worth reading when I am in the
Presence. At times I pressure MYSELF to make things/whatever flows thru my
fingers to this keyboard ends up unreal and not really exact. d of story.
……………….I have to be in His Presence to write . End of story.
No other way. But when something so magnificent happens and I write it,
it is to encourage my brethren and I feel ripped off that it disappeared
into cyber-space. Usually , I’ll just sadly just let it go. But this was so
bizarre that I feel the need to attempt to re-create what I wrote on
Monday…which no-one received….I hope I can. Here I go.
Last Sunday, we had several of the indigenous men come here to the mission
and help with heavy work. Landscaping, planting , mixing cement and
generally banging on things, too. Forget sleeping till 5:30am, Pas. Frank
wanted to be ready so I set to making food for the coming workers.
Around 12ish, the men we never see but know their children started arriving
from their own regular jobs, and they set to mixing cement and planting
(they are best at planting it seems). So by about 2pm , the women folk,
wives upon wives started showing up. We had a 25lb hunk of frozen chicken
legs that I had marinated my way, but I turned it over to them. They, the
women and girls started gathering firewood and got a good fire
going.offering. Then put on the pollo and so very much lovely asparagus.
If we had bought the asparagus it would have cost at least $50 dollars, but
they are cutting the first fields so it was an offering. By 4pm serious
workers were laid out under the few trees we have , and on picnic tables
and just having a siesta. The women were laughing and admiring their
offspring. Had to of been maybe 60 people hanging around……
Out of nowhere I thought it was either a dying cat or a kitty wishing for
death. I looked down by the new playground under the miracle tree and
there was an old fellow banging on an instrument that looked like a mix
between a guitar and a banjo and a bizarre looking harp. (When he first
started playing it sounded like Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody……….I know I
sound totally nuts, okay…)but it did.It was something I’ve not been able
to find on Google. But this guy was banging away an banging fiercely on
this odd instrument.
Honestly, at first I was just overcome with laughter. (I know it sounds
irreverent) But hey, the noise was wild. But suddenly I felt a burning
need to SING in the Spirit. An d I did. The women looked and laughed
shyly, the men seemed cool with it. The many kids , well they thought it
was better than the tortilla. They were watching me and this old guy (at
least like 70?) just in the Presence. Within a few minutes I guess, I do
not really know, I started gathering the kids and whichever mamas that
wanted to follow. I had them rounded up and started praying for each one,
and I was praying for the Infilling, because I knew who had recognized
Yeshua as King.
Within say 30 minutes  I’d touched their throats and sang (accompanied by
this great instrument man) for all of the kids. Now about 16 children
were singing in tongues. Some mothers, too.
Realize this was OUTSIDE at the mission, people wandered about eating
chicken legs and getting ministry. The neighbors saw and heard it all.
By about 6pm, as twilight set and people began to go their ways, I asked
Theo who the guitar man was. She responded that she had assumed he was our
“Tio”, (which to Mixtecs,means any man who is not your father or
husband….. In Spanish it means “Uncle”). I told her he waS NOT my Tio)
she said it wasn’t hers either. I lit out after the old guy. WHO WAS HE? I
was thinking “dang we can use him every week for worship. But as I ran
from dish duty under the Pila(cistern) asking, “Hey where’s that guy??”
People looked at me like , “What guy?” Your Tio?” I’m like NO YOUR TIO!.
In the end he was never found. The people who got filled with the Holy
Ghost recall him, those who just came to eat do not. In all I think I had
16 total either saved, or filled. They all recall him. But even tonite, he
is fading from my memory. I can’t really tell you what he looked like, how
tall or short he was. I just know he was here. It was one of the most
awesome times in Yahweh’s Presence i have ever experienced. I was pain free
from my torturous bladder for a whole day. PAIN FREE. Had a bit of a a holy
Ghost hangover, but not suicidal pain. I find that only being in the
Presence His anointing is when I am free.
All week we’ve had those kids a lot of new ones returning to watch the
work and listen to stories we tell;some about Noah, some about the Son and
the Father and their Spirit.
I keep looking out for that old guy. But he hasn’t come back. BUT HE WAS
HERE..
It was the best afternoon I have had in a long time. IT IS MOSTLY
INEXPLICABLE. I know if you only believe what you can see and touch you
won’t get it But I pray that whoever reads this WILL understand the
necessity of putting yourself in Yahweh’s Presence.
As you gather with the Ekleesia tomorrow or as you gather with your mate
or child at home, seek Him. He desires to be found.
The account I have now written is not close to the inspired Word I wrote
and lost, but you get the gist……………..
Love each other, in deed and word and appreciate the Presence, We love you
all so much in Christ,
Sis, Detra

We had a good Meeting today. (Friday) . We have been bringing in a few  new people from a work camp in Maneadero. They met us thru the  Clinics that we have This one man heard about free medical care from some relative who lives over here in the local Cuarteria.
> >> The poor guy had broken his leg when he fell somehow attempting to cross the US border.  It happened days  prior  to finally getting to the Clinic…..he had been gimping along in unimaginable pain  until he showed up at the last clinic.
> He didn’t know his leg was broken….. just knew it hurt really bad and he had no money.
> The *coyotes* stole what money he had (plus obviously kept the $4000 his family was extorted up front) and left him for dead in the desert. So, he and his family are having a very hard time. They were so happy to get the beans, rice and other foods we give out.  He was so hungry he was eating raw oatmeal as we  passed out food. I’ve seen quite a few people adults and children alike, do this over the years, but it is always unsettling.
> They were so broken by the whole experience which had engulfed them, that their hearts were totally open and receptive to the Word. FRANK had laid hands on him at the last Clinic, but today he heard the Gospel of Resurection and got saved along with his 12 year old son.  My belief honestly, is that had we just preached salvation and.not focused on Resurrection, this man would not have responded.  For I see now,  that his concern; at that moment was; his age and the condition of his body  and what,  if anything, ( besides chubby little Raphael-esque Cherubim angels floating lazily on a sea of puffy clouds, some playing instruments in the nude) which  to people who are actively suffering and reaping abuse)  seems superfluous and even possibly painful…. No, this man was wondering what for him, lay beyond.
> This boy , Carlos’s son,  had actually gotten placed in a different group than his dad, (it is common practice with coyotes  to know in advance that  they are going to place certain people  in a ‘bait group ‘or a ‘diversion group’ and usually they use the older people or weaker individuals for this purpose. )  Carlos is a very old version of 65 and thus an easy target for mistreatment by hid fellow man.
> The sad part is that even knowing this is a very real possibility, ( being used and abused) people will continue to pay coyotes and try, time and time again,  to cross illegally ….nevermind  horrifically daunting obstacles, because the allure of the American Dream is so strong.
>
> >> So , his son, a 12 year old boy, DID make it across ; all the way in to the USA,  to the rondevoux point in L.A.. . Upon finding that his father did not succeed,  he panicked , THANKFULLY escaped his ‘guides’, and returned to distant relatives in Maneadero,  where,  as the Lord would have it,  he was was reunited with his father eventually.
> >> So,  all of this,  plus the broken and now infected leg had put them in a place of such humility,such a  state that their hearts were opened to the idea that “some god” (Carlos’s words)   was at work….FRANK  explained it was the Great I AM.
> >> For a guy who has been through such a bitter experience, Carlos holds absolutely no bitterness against anyone! (and this humble acceptance of failure I find as a common denominator smong the Indians here )
> The Lord told him, thru Frank, that this attitude of humility,(not acceptance), is going to cause a huge blessing to come upon his entire family in addition to being healed. It was magnificent to see and hear. Yahweh is great. I was so amazed to find Carlos  touched that we,  being strangers expecting no return would GIVE him food and care…..it was so heartbreaking to be appreciated so much….I dont know if I can get across how happy  and at the same turn broken,  i felt, being in the presence of this man’s gratitude….its has had  me weeping on and off all day.
> >> And not that God caused any of these bad things to happen to the man, for He did not,  but it was a great showing of the Lord working all these things together for the Good, you know?
> I mean he COULD have died alone in the desert. He COULD have been separated from his son forever,  and likewise his son could of fallen into yhe hands of every type of evil awaiying the innocent in Los Angeles, alone. The coyotes could have killed the son to make an example of what happens when families don’t or can’t pay the extravagant fees that they charge. Apny number of  horrible alter- endings could have come to pass……
> But even as horrifying as the situation was,  Yahweh was mercifully working every  circumstance together for His Good. And ours. He remains Ever Faithful,  Ever Loving, no matter how grave our circumstances appear,  He will work it all out for our good,  At times we just need to rest in Him and allow that.

> love and blessings,  sis dee

Your Purpose, The Process, His Promise

Kent Simpson: Your Purpose, The Process, His Promise

Your Purpose and New Identity

When our Father’s abiding Word is working within you, you have found your purpose for your life, and this purpose becomes your identity. Too many Believers today do not know where they fit in the Kingdom of God. One of the very first acts of every Christian should be to find out what God’s purpose for them is in this life. Before we can begin to please God with our works we must first find out what His purpose is for us.

If we are not of this world then we should not be so concerned about where we fit in it. This short time we have on earth is a time of testing to see if we are loyal subjects who will serve our Father or serve the ruler of this world, the prince of darkness (see Ephesians 2:2). This life is training us to be prepared to endure the lengthy boot camp God has called us into.

Our Father has a three-part purpose for giving each and every one of us a prophetic word. It gives us direction on what we are called to do for His people. The word gives purpose by revealing to us how we are to go about fulfilling the work He has placed before us. He has a purpose for imparting into us a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit so that we will be equipped to demonstrate His power, letting all know that we are His anointed ones for the job He has purposed us to do.

When most of us begin to think about what we could possibly do for the Kingdom of God we are limited in our thoughts to just a few duties found within the local congregation. You might consider being a pastor, a or praise and worship leader, a sound and technical person, a Sunday school teacher or one of the other smaller positions.

We cannot limit God and keep Him locked in the box of the Church’s making. Our Father is much more radical than what most people may think, so do not be surprised if His word to you sounds a bit unacceptable to the religious mindset today. (Photo via enwikipedia)

One of the most quoted verses of Scripture that most of us have either heard or have been falsely corrected by is found in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

If you read this verse a couple of times you might see that there is a condition within this verse that is very important. It seems that every time things do not work out for one of our brothers or sisters we quote this verse as to say, “It’s okay. You love God, however, you are going to make mistakes or bad things are going to happen to you that’s just the way it is.”

Well, I have found that the part that makes all the difference is found in the last few words of this verse, “…called according to His purpose.” Now if you read this verse as it is written, then you will see that it is saying that: if you are in God’s purpose and do all things according to His word (your calling, commission and gifting) good things will come to you and the evil one cannot touch you.

Most people think that if they are doing good things for people then they are fulfilling God’s purpose, but that is simply not so. I counsel people almost every day. Many of them are doing good things in the sight of the religious bunch to impress one another and hopefully God too. But their good deeds can be dead works in the eyes of God leaving them an open target for satan to mess up their lives.

Now, if they are doing what our Father has commissioned them to do then the devil cannot touch them, “…he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him” (1 John 5:18b). Or do you believe that God has no power over the devil? Let’s get real here. God created ALL things and this includes satan who has a purpose, too; remember that “he comes to steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10).

What is your purpose and what are you called, commissioned and equipped to do for our Master and Lord Jesus Christ and His Church?

The Process, Baptism of Fire

There is a process that everyone must go through before they can receive their promise. No one likes the process and some fail the test by doubting God and His word. That is why the verse says, “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). Not everyone is able to hold on to His word through all the obstacle courses this boot camp has laid out to test their faith. To be in God’s Army you have to be fit to endure it all until you finally come to the place where all the pain and suffering just does not matter anymore.

Many make grand commitments to the Holy Spirit while standing in the midst of His Shekinah glory. It is easy to serve God when you feel as though Jesus has His hand on your shoulder. (Photo by Jennifer Page In His Presence via elijahshopper.com)

The real test comes when you are standing alone toe-to-toe with the devil and he is doing his best to get you to believe satan rather than God and beating you down with doubt and disbelief.

Remember these words when you are being tested in this manner: “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (John 4:4). Don’t doubt in darkness what you have committed to in the light. “Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God” (Isaiah 50:10).

Everything will be all right, for when you have passed through the process you will reap what has been promised to you.

“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matthew 3:11b

Before David was placed upon the throne, he received a word from Prophet Samuel that he would, in fact, someday become the king (ref. 1 Samuel 16:1-13). Twenty years later that word came to pass because David kept that word in his fore thoughts; and every time he was challenged by whatever obstacles were thrown into his path he was reminded of his purpose.

During the process, David’s prophetic word was put to the test. He was challenged many times when he faced the lion in the woods. David could have died. His prophecy would not have come to pass except he was reminded of God’s word and promise. He could not die. He had power over the lion, because his word had not yet come to pass.

When David faced the bear, it was the same situation, but this time his faith was stronger because he survived the lion. When David took the five small stones to challenge the giant it was nothing, because his faith had already grown to the point where he knew the giant could not touch him. David was believing in the word of God and fulfilling the purpose in his life. (Photo via wikimedia)

 

Accountability for Leadership

“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” James 3:1

There is greater accountability for those who are in leadership, because they are accountable to God Almighty for what they tell others to do. They are accountable for your soul. This is not a picnic or a party. The Church is not another club to join. It is becoming an entity issuing fatigues and bars and stripes. It is calling out those who will fight in this spiritual war.

Remember, what you do in this life will determine your rank and position for eternity. How you lead others in this life will determine where you are placed in His chain of command. Don’t let the devil give you an image of Heaven with you wearing a white gown sitting on a cloud strumming a harp. That is not the Kingdom of Heaven!

Those who have gone to the other side, those who died and returned, have said it is just like earth but much, much better. Sometimes we take this life far too seriously. In all reality we are too comfortable. When we begin to worship this life greater than the one to come, then our life becomes difficult to find peace or hear the Prince of Peace.

When you are called out by God and His word abides in you, you have chosen to come in agreement with His word. You have saluted and marched toward the call of God, and you cannot afford to look back. A person is not fit for the Kingdom of God if they put their hands to the plow and then look back.

“But Jesus said to him, ‘No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.'” Luke 9:62

Don’t look to the past and lament about how things used to be. We do not serve a God of the past. He is a God of today. He is not a God who died, gave us a book, and put us in charge. God is ruling and reigning from Heaven now. (Photo via wikimedia)

Every situation and every occurrence in your life has a meaning from Heaven above. In everything that happens in your life, there is a cause and effect. When unexpected things happen to you and you do not know why, you need to seek God and find out. You have a right to know and you can find out because Jesus is alive and speaking to everyone who will follow the sound of His voice.

His Promises Will Come to Pass IF…

The promises of God are very personal and are directly connected to you doing whatever He asks you to do. The more you do for Him the more He will do for you. It is like any relationship: you must be willing to give of yourself even at the most difficult of times. The devil will try and make you believe God just wants to take your life and make you a slave. Not so.

In fact, you will find that after you have served Him awhile and proved to Him you are loyal to do whatever He asks of you, He will trust you with more and more of His power, people and resources. It is a great thing when you have finally come to the place where God starts calling you His friend. To be a friend of God is to operate in a higher covenant with Him, and you find yourself in a relationship that is full of His promises.

Over the years, I have witnessed people trying all kinds of weird methods in an attempt to force the promises written in the Bible to come to pass for their needs. I have heard many preachers saying that we can have whatever we ask just by claiming it in the name of Jesus. The Bible is not like Aladdin’s lamp. We cannot just rub it three times chanting a few verses and receive whatever you are wishing for.

To have a true friend takes a lot of effort and years of bonding. With each battle you find yourself in; you know your Friend is always right behind you backing you up. You have to want to go the distance with Jesus in order to build this type of relationship. He desires us all to be His friend; that is what He created us for. Begin building your relationship with Jesus today by asking what you can do for Him; rather than telling Him what YOU want. This is the KEY that unlocks the door to the abundant life He promised you and me.

“Then He said to them, ‘Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.'” Mark 4:24

The following was given on Sunday morning after a time of worship at Harvest of Faith in Southaven.

I believe it is a timely instruction to the church.

April 6, 2014

given by Richard Chambliss

You need to pay attention.

Jesus is speaking to us.

I would speak to these people today

I want you to declare this unto them my son.

I want you to declare My love to them.

I would have them to know the dimensions of My love.

 I would have them to know the heights to which My love has gone and that My love  raised up my Son and with Him has raised you up into the heavenly places and seated you with Him at my right hand.

I would have you know the love that I have for you ,that it went into the greatest depths in the very bowels of hell to bring up Jesus from the dead.

When He was brought up He brought you up and delivered you from the fear of death.

I would have you to know the length to which I have gone to express My love for you says the Lord.

I’ve gone as far as giving my very best to demonstrate how much I love you.

I want you to know the dimensions ,the width , the wideness of my love, not just for a few, but for all mankind, that  includes you.

I have open My arms wide to express My love through My Son Jesus.

I want you to embrace it.

Embrace my love once and for all and settle the fact that I love you and I have chosen to love you.

I will speak concerning grace says the Lord.

I will speak unto you concerning grace because my grace towards you now is abundant.

My grace is moving towards you even now if you will believe my voice. My grace is more than enough, more than enough to deal with the situation in your life. If you would only embrace my grace and lay aside the pride, lay aside the looking at things in the natural but look to my grace.

My grace is an action now.

Beginning to move even now in your family, those that are not even here.

My grace is going there where sin abounds, but grace much more abounds.

Have faith in my grace. Have faith in my grace. Have faith in My love for you.

I would speak to you about one more thing, I would speak to you about mercy.

For I Am merciful.

I am everlastingly merciful.

Let my mercy come  and bathe your wounds.

Let My mercy come and heal your bodies.

Let my mercy come , and restore your minds.

Let my mercy, come  and lift you up out of the pit that the enemy has sought to throw you down into.

For know this says the Lord, I threw the enemy down from from his high place and now he is under your feet.

I placed him there.

Allow him not to rise up ,to put him on a pedestal for he is defeated, says the Lord.

Give him no place.

Give him no place.

Give him no entrance.

Shut the door, shut the door and trust me says the Lord.

For I will bring about in you life that you will believe.

I want you to increase in your believing for that  I have for you, increase your believing, increase your trust.

With every obstacle comes opportunity to say, I trust you Lord, and release that grace, release that love, release that mercy which is yours,

For I declare to you this day that is My will for you, that’s My will for this people.

So embrace it says the Lord.

Enjoy it, live in it, says the Lord.

Rise up says the Lord, above the darkness and  into the victory.

For faith is the victory and I give that faith through this word says the Lord Almighty.

I saw Angels ,flames of fire rise up and go about their appointed business, ministering for the heirs of salvation.

I saw in the congregation the heavenly host as you began to speak and believe. Angels began to rise up and to go about the assignment. Their assigned to me and to you.

Begin to put faith in it, that Angels are assigned to do and to carry out the work of the Lord.

Just believe it and trust. Don’t fret and don’t worry. They are about their business to work for you and accomplish that, to work on your side. They have been assigned, dispatched and risen  to where the

should be . They are in place.

 

God is Good and He Loves People

On By Harvest of Faith ChurchIn church locator southaven msLeave a comment

God is Good and He Loves People
Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Psalms 100:5 for the LORD is good; his lovingkindness is everlasting and his faithfulness to all generations.

John 3:16 “for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 “for god did not send the son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Luke 9:56 for the son of man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”]] and they went on to another village.
Acts 10:38 “you know of Jesus of Nazareth, how god anointed him with the holy spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for god was with him.

The death , the offering up of Himself on the cross for us is the ultimate expression of Yahweh’s love for mankind.

A man would scarcely die for a friend not any enemy.
Romans 5:7 for one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
Yahweh’s love is demonstrated in while we were sinners Christ died.

Romans 5:8 but god demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

This act broke the pattern of death and destroyed its author, the devil,

Hebrews 2:14 ¶ therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

. The Man Yahshua faced the ultimate fear on our behalf in faith and destroyed its control releasing the power of Resurrection life into the earth.
the same power that raised Yahshua from the dead shall make us alive in our death doomed bodies

Philippians 2:8 being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 for this reason also, god highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is lord, to the glory of god the father.

Romans 8:11 but if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you.
