I NEVER LEAD YOU INTO A DEAD END!

    My husband and I were recently praying for some fellow ministers who were all facing intense challenges of faith. Though each situation was different, they were all standing for a promise to come to pass that they had received from the Lord months earlier – even years earlier. Even as it had seemed clear in the beginning that they had heard from the Lord, there were constant distractions, disruptions, and delays to their promises coming to pass. Frustration from unexpected roadblocks and disappointment from increasing setbacks seemed to be a pattern in every circumstance. Some were beginning to doubt whether or not they had heard correctly the first time.

    As we continued to pray for these situations, I began to feel the passion of the Lord rise up as I heard these words:

    “I NEVER LEAD YOU INTO A DEAD END! STAND ON WHAT I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN!”

    I immediately felt a righteous indignation rise up against the adversary who was at war with the promises of God! I just knew that this was not a time to back down due to opposition, but to take a stand on His word! He reminded me that He never baits us with false hope. That’s what the enemy does. He never takes us through twists and turns only to disappoint us with the end result. That’s what the adversary does.

    For those who are contending for the promises of God, do not allow changing circumstances, temporary setbacks, or even immature people to be the final answer to what God has already spoken to your heart. When God speaks His word, it never returns empty. Never. The natural realm can never determine His ability to supersede what is impossible in order to bring His promises to fruition.

    If you know you have heard the word of the Lord for your life, your family, or even your nation, never doubt His ability to bring it to pass. Though the enemy will give you many opportunities to shrink back in discouragement, set your heart towards the Father’s absolute love and goodness for you.

    He has already told you His intentions.
    Don’t change your mind.
    He hasn’t changed His.

        PURSUING HIS PRESENCE MORE THAN HIS PROPHETS

        Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.

        SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

        The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.

        THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

        I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

        A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

        This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.
