Is God speaking to you?
Posted By: GLarrabee

In this message you are going to read words I have taken from scripture and paraphrased fore easy understanding. There is also a prophetic word to you personally as you read this.
I believe you will be able to recognize the voice of the Lord in words that were not spoken by man but were received in a prophecy.
Take this message as a word for you personally, I believe God has used me to put the words together to speak to you, God Loves you dearly and has a work for each one to do.
If you are proud, arrogant and self centered you should probably quit reading, but if you are able to really be yourself at a heart level of sincerity, this may be life changing.
Are you willing to try to be what God wants you to be? Did God hear a yes! From your heart’s desire?
Are you able to receive what you pray for?
Do you pray for God's will above your own will?
Do you pray for God's perfect will in your life? Do you really want what you pray for?
When you pray for God's perfect will in your life you are asking for a purpose beyond your own purpose. You are asking for the creator to fulfill your destiny and his purpose for your life, the very purpose and reason for your birth and existence as a child of God.
Are your praying for the anointing to come upon you? Listen to your heart and let it speak.
The Cost of being called.
Stephen received the anointing as he was being stoned.
At that moment the words and the power that came forth were supernatural. He received the glorious anointing as he saw the mob coming to kill him by stoning. As they came for him he did not run away. He did not flinch, but trusted in the Lord totally for what ever the Lord's purpose may be.
The pressures that come forth in your life are for God's purpose, and to allow his purpose to be fulfilled we need to allow the fulfillment of his purpose through total submission. We cannot say, God let your perfect will be done in this situation and then draw back.
God's purpose and destination for your life will only be brought forth by total submission to the end, regardless of how long it takes. The end is when we see the deliverance of the Lord or we die, as Stephen did.
Everything that comes forth in our lives is for his purpose. We must allow God to do his purpose and not draw back. For his purpose is also our purpose and perfect destiny for our lives. God is bringing forth His Kingdom, here one earth by cutting a temple of stone out of the world. The stone cut out of the mountain with out hands.
Yes we are called for a special purpose in this generation. The Lord is bringing us all to the point of praying and communicating continuously with him on a conscious and subconscious level.
The Spirit of God speaks the prayers to our heart, we speak the prayer and God is then able to act upon his will voiced through us.
We are literally praying on a moment by moment basis either consciously or subconsciously 24 hours per day. This is the truth of abiding in Christ and Christ abiding in us.
Our whole lives have been shaped from the beginning to bring us to this place. We have been taken through death to the things of this world and have been resurrected to a new light, the things of the Kingdom of God now coming upon the earth.
The Lord's purpose will be brought forth as we pray submitting to his perfect will, and receiving the anointing to withstand and to endure.
Do you want to be a disciple for Jesus? Are you able to walk through the flames? Are you willing to take upon your self the pain of the cross and follow the Lord? Are you willing to let the Lord finish what he has started in your life? Are you willing to be all that God would have you to be from this moment on?
Ask your heart.
Think this through. Allow your heart and your mind to be strengthened and encouraged by the Holy Spirit.
We have already been through depression and hard times. We find ourselves in the middle of a battle upon this earth between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Now is the time for us to rise up and take the step no matter how small.
Just take a step, and then another step, and keep stepping to the next step. Never look back. Keep moving, Keep stepping. Take the next step and never stop moving ahead to the Kingdom of God.
THAT TIME HAS FINALLY COME TO FULFILL YOUR DESTINY
The end times are here. How do you prepare yourself? Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and then all thing you desire will be given to you. These words are words of power:
The power of words
"Our Father who art in Heaven...
Hallowed be Thy name...
Thy Kingdom come...
Thy Will be done...
On Earth as it is in Heaven."
Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom and the Glory Forever,
It is time. We must awaken now and accept our duty as it was given to us in the beginning. Each and everyone upon the earth was given free will. We can choose to awaken or you can choose to stay asleep. We must realize that the consequences will also be borne by us...and be borne for the rest of eternity.
Take control of the thoughts of your mind and don’t allow fear or doubt to interfere with what your heart is telling you to do.
This is a spiritual battle and we have the greater power in this battle, but we must understand the power that we have and how to use this power. Remember it is not by might, nor power of our selves but it is by the Spirit of the Lord that this battle will be won.
Jesus himself said that we have the keys to the kingdom and have the power to bind or to loosen the powers in heaven and on earth. We must learn to use these weapons of war.
The Bible says, Blow ye the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm on God's Holy Mountain. Let all the inhabitants of Israel and the entire world tremble.
For the day of the Lord is coming upon the world in this generation and we need to be ready for it is close at hand. This will be a day of judgment. This will also be a great day of destruction, over many parts of the world.
The International Branch of the Lion of Judah, all the people who have a heart for God regardless of what they call themselves is coming forth.
This is God's anointed Branch. The Lord is going to use his saints to judge righteously, and they will reclaim all that has been stolen from the poor of God's people.
This will not be done by military force or mans power. This will be done through the almighty power of God that will be spoken through the rod of his word that the Lord speaks, through the mouths of his anointed ones.
This power from God is given to the anointed of his Branch, just as he promised. Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit, saith the Lord.
The breath of his lips will slay the wicked, and the rod of his mouth will smite the earth.
For the world these will be days of gloom and darkness upon the earth. The world has never seen a people like what the Lord is bringing forth with such anointing or so strong in the Lord. A fire will go before the people of this glorious anointed Branch of the Lord's planting.
As the appearance of horses, and the noise of chariots leaping upon the mountains will be seen in the clouds as the joint venture between heavens host and the Glorious Branch, are being readied for battle.
Each one will run like a mighty man of war. Everyone will be in perfect step like mighty men of war and their ranks will not be broken.
Wake up and come alive, even now when the people repent and turn to the Lord he will cherish his people and all his land over the earth. Yes the Lord will answer when you call. He will send you bread, corn and even wine and oil. You will be completely satisfied.
All the people will see the confederacy of northern armies being buried near the east sea. The stink of the dead carcasses will turn noses of the people in many nations.
Now is not the time to be in fear. Fear not! Be not afraid! But Praise the Lord. Rejoice for the Lord will do great things. Be glad believers of all faiths, and rejoice in the Lord your God.
God gave you the former rain and blessings moderately to prepare your faith, but now he will bless you and reward you, making you to prosper with the blessing that will be coming forth. This will even be in the first month, the month of planting, and your barns will be full even before the harvest. You will over flow with the blessings of the Lord.
You will eat as at a feast of the very best food. You will eat plenty and you will be completely satisfied. You will pour out praises for the Lord your God. You will be thanking him for his wonderful works and you will never again be ashamed.
The Lord will respond to your praises and thankfulness by pouring out his Holy Spirit upon all people. You and your children will prophecy speaking the words the Lord gives you. Even your old men and women will dream dreams and see visions of their youth as the Lord restores all upon the earth for his Kingdom.
Anyone calling upon the Lord with a true heart will be heard and he will be delivered. The word of the Lord will be proclaimed in Jerusalem, and his word will go forth from Jerusalem as the water covers the sea.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon his anointed ones, because he has anointed them to speak, preaching, and encouraging the meek and the downtrodden. They will be speaking to lift up the brokenhearted, and will proclaim liberty to the captives. They will be binding and rebuking all evil forces, opening prisons and freeing those that are bound.
All the people of the Lord, all believers, all the people making up the Lord's International Branch of the Lion of Judah will proclaim. This is the acceptable year of the Lord. This is the day of the Lord. This is the Day of the Lord's vengeance. This is the Day that our God will comfort all that mourn.
This is the day that the Lord will comfort all that trust the Lord. The Lord will give them beauty for ashes, and the Holy Spirit will be a spirit of joy as oil for mourning. All the people will be clothed with the spirit as the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
They will say, The Lord is our Righteousness, and they will be known as trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord. His International Branch of the Lion of Judah will be a witness that the Lord might be glorified.
All the people will sing in one accord:
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God, for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with a robe of righteousness and God will cause righteousness and praise to come upon all nations.
For My peoples sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until righteousness goes forth as brightness and salvation as a burning lamp.
All nations will see your righteousness. They will see your glory. You will be called a new name that the Lord has spoken. You are his Branch. All believers will be called the Lord's, International Branch of the Lion of Judah.
We must wake up from our sleep. This is the time to turn to the Lord. Come forth in power under the anointing. The Lord has made His spirit available to you, under the power and authority of His anointed Branch. The spirit will be upon you as the Lord's Branch, but first we must abide in the vine in perfect unity, all of one mind and accord.
Stand up sons and daughters of God for He is calling you for a special purpose. He will empower you with His spirit to stand as that perfect man before the nations and proclaim the Word of the Lord unto them.
The Lord wants to place His anointing upon you. This anointing will break all bonds, and break every yoke that has held you down. Every hindrance of every kind will be re-moved. The mountains will become plains under the power of your anointing.
The Lord is speaking, and you must listen. He wants His people to step forth in His power and authority. Did He not say that you would be the head and not the tail?
The Lord is asking you to step forth, and He will place Himself under your command to fulfill everything that He has spoken. Your thoughts will be his directed thoughts as you totally submit to his anointing and power to live his life in you.
But this takes faith and trust in His Word, to stand unto the end on His Word regardless of circumstances and how it may look. He will provide a way where there is no way.
The Lord is going to do mighty things through His people, even though they don't believe or accept it at this time.
The Kingdom of God is before you. We are to bring it forth in the name of Jesus. He has placed the kingdom upon our shoulders; His people to bring it forth in His name, in the name of Jesus Christ. This is not to be done by the natural power of man, but by the power of the spirit of the Lord. Faith and obedience will lead total submission to His authority and power that He then is able to channel through us.
This is the word of God from God to you for the job he has just for you to do. (I say this with the assurance that the word of God is not for just one person or any private interpretation but is for all who can believe it and accept it.)
Let this be your calling and anointing from the Lord in FAITH.
He will lead us all upon the path that He has chosen for us; He has a narrow path for each one individually to walk upon. He is able to keep you, and if you have the will, He will; No one will be able to keep you from the path He has chosen for you. Trust the Lord to make you pillars that can be counted upon. None of you will go in your own strength. All who wait patiently upon the Lord will be made strong in the house that the Lord builds. A way will be opened, and you will know when to step out.
Keep your eyes upon our savior, your Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Look to no one else, don't look back only look to the future. Don't even look to your own understanding. Put your faith and trust in the Lord and every mountain will be made into a plain.
The Lord trusts you and I, all His people, to do a mighty work.
We can and will trust Him. This will be like a trust fund arrangement that will bring all things that anyone needs. Everyone will find what the Lord has placed for them. The position the Lord has chosen for each one will fit no one else, and each plan the Lord has for each one will be carried out by the mighty hand of God.
The wisdom of the Lord and boldness is for the taking, and will be given to each one. Guidance through the power, His spirit will keep everyone in perfect step.
The Lord has ordained you, and has chosen you all for a special work of His doing. All those that are lowly and meek will be brought to a place where the Lord can speak and lead them through a prophet. Everyone will enter into a covenant to do only the Lord's will. The fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit will be upon those the Lord has chosen, and we will all walk together, talk together, and uphold one another.
God's people are called from the lowly, but he will exalt them, and they will not be ashamed. His people are the servants of mankind who will be lifted up. But the proud and uplifted hand will be drawn back.
The Lord's people are blessed as He has counted each one of us worthy that places Himself in the realm of trust, faith, hope, and charity. Each one is to follow the leading of their heart and not their mind. Anyone who leans on the Lord for understanding will be shown the way.
Many will be touched and follow after the Lord's over-comers, but others will want to slay those chosen of the Lord. The Lord will protect them, and give them power over their enemy by the blood of Christ and having no fear of death. They will be honored by the Lord, and will give honor back to the Lord. Each one will know that it is the Lord's conquest.
All direction will be given by the Lord with explicit instructions that will never vary from His written words in the Holy Bible. The scriptures are to be checked regarding all things spoken through a prophet. Even through a prophet the Lord will never vary from his written Word. God's words are pure and they shall be adhered to.
The battle is not really ours, but the Lord's. All the Lord needs are His people to be as empty vessels that He can move around at His will. If we totally submit and honor the Lord, not even a thought will come contrary to the thoughts of the Lord. The Lord will hedge each one in, and plant them solidly in the spirit with His grace. The Lord's hand is upon each one, and all His power over the earth will direct Him.
Directions for the job the Lord is sending each one will be given one day at a time. Every morning we are to arise, praise the Lord, Glorify His name and see the works of the Lord. There will be no mistakes, for He, the Lord, will do it.
All that the Lord uses have to be in strict obedience, or correction will come. The Lord dwells among His people, and will guide them. But not listening to the Lord will cause a heavy heart to ascend upon His people. All that the Lord uses have to be in strict obedience or correction will come. All that love God's Word will understand and know what He says and know what He means.
Following the Lord is a fine line that many cannot adhere to. If God's people hear His voice, He will lead them. But a rebellious spirit is worse than witchcraft.
All things are created by God, and are for the benefit of the Lord's people. They will praise Him, and thank Him for the things He has laid before them.
The path God has chosen for each person is laid out clearly. It may be rough at times and some may come against us, but don't be discouraged. Your faith will make you the over-comer. We will be the over-comers, and all that follow after the over-comers of the Lord will be rewarded.
The Lord has many things ahead for each one; not only this, but many things He has told you in His time. But remember the Lord's time may not be your time, and your time is not His time. All things will be stopped if they come against God's time. The Lord will do even more through you, but the present well has to be filled first. When the job is done, look for another duty the Lord has for you.
Each person has a job the Lord has chosen for them, but they must not step out on their own. This will bring confusion. The path will be cleared for each one by waiting and listening. To clear the path, God will deal with each person and each situation in His own way. And all obstacles will be removed.
Keep your heart and mind focused upon the Lord, and you will do well and stay upon the correct path. Think things through, trusting the Lord to show you the correct way.
Each one is to walk day by day and walk in peace. Even the words you speak will be prepared by the Lord. The Lord has sent you, and your enemies will bow before you. They will not come against you as they think, but will recede and draw back.
No one is to retrace their steps. That is past, and you have already covered this ground once. Don't consider the thoughts and plans of others, but rely only upon your heart. Let no one say to you that God has told them to tell you. The Lord himself will speak to you. Be obedient to the Lord's Word. Don't get confused about His Word. God's Word is a living Word. The same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Check everything with the Bible. Then only believe and receive the word of faith.
Let nothing catch anyone unaware. Listen and all things will be revealed by the Lord. Do not look at things as they appear to be, but look at each person and each situation through the spiritual eyes of that still small voice. The hearing and seeing of your heart.
Each person coming to you will be accountable to the Lord for every word that he speaks. In times of trouble many come with emotional words of their own imaginations. When this happens stay on an even keel, still walking and talking to the Lord in faith. Do not go or commit to anything without full understanding.
Don't let anyone control you in any way. You are on a path provided by the Lord. Don't humble yourself to anyone's self desire. For you are a child of the King. If any problem arises, be not afraid, the waters will part for you. The Lord has His angels that control everything about you.
Whenever you feel troubled, think upon the Lord, think upon the Lord, and the answers will come. Through the spirit of the Lord, you will receive strength, power and light.
All things that the Lord speaks to any of his people will be according to the recorded Word of God in the Bible. Sift every thought with the Word of God to discern what He has spoken.
All things spoken in the name of the Lord shall be adhered to. The fruit of the vine crushed under His feet, and His robe covered with blood is Vengence that can come upon the people.
Many who have accepted the Lord have not fully trusted upon His name. Trust no one, for they may appear righteous, and still be deceiving. The devil has power over those that will be deceived, but he has no power to deceive God's people. The Lord will stand against him.
The Holy Spirit is our guide, our director. The Lord is always with us in spirit. You will receive instructions, and His will shall be carried out. He wants people to give their wills and desires over to Him so that He may rule through them, and use their bodies to do His will on earth.
The Lord said, Did not my father work in the old testament? Did I not work in the new testament, and does not the Holy Spirit now work upon the earth?
Be strong, listen to no man, but only unto the Lord, and prove everything by His Word. The Word was spirit preached, spirit written, and the books are closed.
Be assured, all that follow after the Lord in His perfect will by totally submitting their own wills, will always be led upon the right path. At times this path is not easy, but always know that there is a reason and the Lord will see you through all trials. The valleys are deep and treacherous, but the Lord made a way. Those that walk with the Lord shall be preserved, and nothing shall harm them. Walk in faith, for through the Lord endurance will be given to His people.
Lift your voice in praise to the Lord for the victory that is to be won. Put on the whole armour of God, and let the weak say, He is strong. A battle must be fought before a victory, and we are in a battle for the Lord's kingdom.
The battle will be fought by the saints of God, and they will prevail. Let the weak be overtaken through the strength of the Lord, and put the enemy down. It is the Lord's power and strength. The gift of God is that all things shall be accomplished. Even if some arms have to be lifted up as Moses's were lifted up. Lift them up, and hold your hand high. The strength is not of you, but it is of the Lord.
If the Lord sends you, then you shall go, and if the Lord says, stop, you will stop. Directions will be given to you and you only. It is the Lord that directs your path, and not those about you.
Be cautious and watch and pray always. Many thoughts can enter the human mind that are not of the Lord, and because of this many people can be misguided. The heart belongs to the Lord, not the mind, the mind can trick many people. When you speak, listen to the things that testify of the heart, by the spirit of grace. This is a mystery that the Lord has given his people, that they should understand and cast out thoughts that are not of Him.
The scriptures will not be changed, so listen to every word. The words will be imbedded in the Lord's people. For He is the resurrection and the life, and they will live by this Word. The fullness of time is now, and the Lord's people will be filled, and know the the Lord Jesus is the God of heaven and earth.
The Lord does not promise His people an easy walk. Did they not condemn Him as he walked upon this earth? Shall you also not be condemned? Did they not speak of Him as a winebibber and a glutton? And shall they not you also? The servant is not above his master.
All the sons of God shall listen to the spirit that gives utterance. The utterance speaks to the Lord, and He said He would answer. It shall not be tampered with, and neither shall it be cast out of His churches.
The letter of the law shall not prevail. His children have the law written within, and they will obey. He will not cushion His people. They shall hear Him face to face, and will know that the words spoken will have power, and are of the Spirit of the Lord.
It is an easy thing to walk with the Lord when you have walked in obedience. But disobedience shall be corrected with a rod of iron. If they walk with the Lord, He will answer with love, mercy, and kindness. If they abide in the vine, and He abides in the branches, they can bear fruit.
They will pluck, and they will eat in plenty and multiply. As the tree shoots forth fruit, is not this seed replanted, and does not another tree grow? He said this is the sowing of the Word, He has given you a picture.
You all will counsel many through words that the Lord speaks through you. Have no confidence in fleshly understanding. It is what is revealed in your heart that gives life. It is only through the Lord that they will be satisfied.
No one will lead God's people that He has not placed there. Many shall be brought in.
They shall all hear and they shall all know. The Lord provokes no one to anger. His people shall be meek, and through love shall touch many.
What the Lord puts before you will unfold from day to day, and you shall see the blessings of the Lord.

We can Change the World we live in - Why not open up a Trust Fund with the Lord?
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Thursday, 27 September 2007, 2:50 p.m.
Do you Trust God? You can have a Trust Fund with the Lord
God's Trust Fund
The Kingdom of God is literally upon us. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Word of God. The Spirit of wisdom, the spirit of counsel. The spirit of authority and the spirit of power. All the powers of the Kingdom of God have been given to each one of us individually.
In the real sense, a portion of the Kingdom of God is within each one of us spiritually. The Kingdom is formed inside each one of us. The power struggle for the Kingdom is taking place within us. This is not the same power struggle that took place around us before we were saved. We have already won that victory.
If we want to be a part of the Kingdom after we have been saved we must begin by letting Jesus be more than our savior. We must let him be Lord. The only way Jesus can be Lord is for us to let Him be Lord of our lives. Jesus died and shed his blood to save us and give us everlasting life.
After we have received eternal life we share the good news of the Kingdom. Of what Jesus has done and we enter into the race for the Kingdom. Jesus said in my Father's house are many mansions prepared for every one entering into the Kingdom.
There is a great difference from one who merely accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and the one who totally submits to the point of abiding in Christ.
When we accept Jesus as savior we enter into the blessing of living eternally and living within the Kingdom of Heaven. But we are not a part of the government of the Kingdom of God. The difference is the difference of being a resident or being a representative of the King of Kings. Even more than a representative, we have the authority of the King of Kings.
When we abide in Christ we enter into that position of power and authority. Not just an authority of the Kingdom, but truly an authority of the King of Kings.
If the secret is abiding in Christ, we must determine what is meant by abiding in Christ. What is really meant by the term, Abiding in Christ?
To be one with Jesus as Jesus is one with the Father is abiding in Christ. When we abide in Christ we give Jesus full control of our lives by total submission allowing Jesus to live his life in and through us to perform his own will.
One of the reasons the comforter or Holy Spirit was sent to us was to reprove the world of sin. The meaning is to for the Holy Spirit to administer a reproof, a reprimand, or rebuke sin. Through the comforter we are called to administer reproof of the sin in the world. We are to administer righteousness and we are to administer judgment righteously.
Read the words of Jesus.
(Luke 16:7,8)Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
And when He is come He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and judgment
We are to be led by the Holy Spirit and we will be shown future things to come.
(Luke 16:13) Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.
In Jesus’s very last public prayer upon earth for His disciples he reveals to us His deepest desires for those given to Him by the Father. That he might be glorified through us.
(Luke 16:9,10) I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
We glorify Jesus when we become one in unity and one with him, totally submitting and abiding in Him.
Luke 16: 21,22.
21. That they may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou has sent me.
22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one.
Abiding in The Lord is totally trusting the Lord. Many who are reading this do not fully trust the Lord. I make this statement because of my own experience and what the Lord spoke to me over 20 years ago. The Lord is no respecter of persons so I now speak these words to you in the name of the Lord.
You do not trust God. But God trusts you.
The lord wants to open up a trust fund arrangement with you.
The Lord wants to do this because He trusts you and He wants you to trust Him.
Everything you want or ever desire will be accomplished through this trust fund arrangement.
This trust fund is the place where you place everything you are, everything you have or ever will have and everything you ever want to be. All your hopes are to be placed in this trust fund. This is where you must place your will.
In other words the Lord is asking you to come to the point of only wanting what the Lord wants and nothing else. We give up every future desire. We must begin by praying for God to give us a greater will to do His perfect will and even a greater will to do his perfect will tomorrow. An ever increasing and continually increasing will to do the Lord's perfect will.
This is trusting the Lord to where you give up your self life to let the Lord life His life in you.
Soon your greatest and only desire will be to do whatever the Lord desires. This doesn't mean that you become a robot. You are filled with a new love for others. The Spirit and life of the Lord flows through your being. You have greater peace than you have ever had before. You have a new inner love and joy that you never previously had.
As this trust fund increases, when problems arise you do not have the worry and angziety you have had before. You no longer worry, about anything. You no longer have any fear, because you know that you have given the Lord total control. He is exercising that total control by bringing you to the point of fulfilling your purpose in life on this earth.
Now when pain and hardships come, you know for sure in spite of how it may look that this is a part of God's divine plan and it is meant for your ultimate good. It may be to increase your faith, or increase your power. I have learned at points of my greatest need is also the point of my greatest spiritual power.
Many times the Lord seems like a coach training an athlete. he always seems to stretch us further than we thought we were able to go. But each need brings us closer to Him and our trust and dependence on the Lord is increased.
Your spirit seems to pray continuously subconsciously. The attitude of your spirit and subconsious mind is continually upon the Lord. You literally pray without ceasing.
At this point the Kingdom of God is in full operation within you. The Kingdom of God has come within you.
The Kingdom has not come upon the earth but a stone has been shaped and polished to the point where it can be placed into the spiritual temple of believers upon the earth. As another stone becomes shaped and polished it is also placed within this spiritual temple. Soon we have many perfectly shaped stones in the Lord's Temple.
They may come from different backgrounds, different religions, different nations and different races, but because they have laid everything aside they are part of this Trust Fund of the Lord's.
They don't try to rule over anyone and they will not allow anyone or anything rule over them. They are fully submitted to the Lord and they submit to others to the same degree that that person submits to the Lord.
This does not mean that we don't submit to the law of the land. And when we enter another's home we are making the choice to submit to that authority as long as we are there.
The same goes with any church ministry. If we place ourselves there in what we believe to be the Lord's leading we must operate within those perimeters. The Lord is striving to bring us into unity.
When we become a body of believers operating under this trust fund arrangement, we become as a single person spiritually because every individual is abiding in Christ. The anointing that each one of us has individually has becomes a corporate anointing for the body. The body becomes larger and becomes an army of God. We are all individuals from all nations fully submitted to the Lord.
The chief cornerstone is then put in place. Jesus Christ becomes the head of His Body, His Church. Now we have become His Branch. The seven spirits of the Lord will be sent into all the earth.
(Revelation 5:6) And I beheld, and, lo in the midst of the throne and the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of the Lord sent forth into the earth.
Here we see the body of Christ in unity being sent forth. The International Branch of The Lion of Judah being sent forth to bring into being the Kingdom of God, the Kindom of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Root of Jesse.
(Isaiah 11:10) And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the gentile seek: and His rest shall be glorious.
We are to set up a standard that will draw the people. Jesus is to be lifted up through the Plumbline Standard. We as the International Branch of The Lord are to be fully submitted to fulfill the words given through his seven eyes upon one stone.
(Isaiah 11:11,12) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
And He shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
This will be done when the body of Christ comes into unity as His Branch and receives the anointing described by Isaiah leading up to these verses.
The anointing to break the yoke is seen in Isaiah the tenth chapter. The Body of Christ in unity as the Branch is seen in Isaiah chapter 11, verses 1 to 5. The standard to be set up is described in verse 10. The Lord then tells us that He is going to bring the dispersed of both Judah and Israel and out of the north countries, and Isaiah chapter 12 is the song of Moses.
The two witness's will bring the release of the people out of the north countries by the trumpet judgments of the seventh seal described in the book of Revelation.
"Our Father who art in heaven..."
Lord, help me remember today that you not only rule the universe, but also know me and love me with a Father's heart.
"Hallowed be Thy name..."
I thank and praise You for the beauty of the world and the blessings of Your grace and love.
"Thy kingdom come..."
Help me spread Your joy and kindness and shine Your light in the lives of my family, friends, and everyone I meet today.
"Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."
Show me the plans You have for me and help me follow Your will with a faithful spirit.
"Give us this day our daily bread..."
You give me everything I need for a good and happy life. Let me use these gifts for Your glory and also generously share them.
"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..."
Help me to see others through Your eyes of compassion and forgive them even when it's hardest, just as You have forgiven me.
"Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil..."
Be the Light on my path wherever I go, and let Your holy angels keep me always.
"For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen."
May I keep in my heart that my strength, my hope, and my joy are in You and only You --- today and forever.
Amen.

Gary,
I had lost focus and not considered "about" the space of half an hour. That
throws quite a fudge factor into the mix. Guess God indeed has his own time.
I hope He can find humor in our musings. The main thing, I know, is to keep
our eyes on Him. Stand fast in the faith, brother.

Not NASCAR - But we are in a Race to the Kingdom

In Response To: We can Change the World we live in - Why not open up a Trust Fund with the Lord? (GLarrabee)
RACE To The Kingdom
The Bible speaks of 3 types of people the righteous, the carnal and the unsaved.
As a statement of my present understanding I present Romans 10:9 as the requirements of being saved and 1st Corinthians 6:9,10 for an additional condition required for entering the Kingdom of God.
(Romans 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(1 Corinthians 6:9,10) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
In God's plan for man, He presents eternal life to sinners and presents the Kingdom to all who already have eternal life. We are shown the way to have eternal life. One needs to believe, but to enter the kingdom one is required to fulfill another condition.
Soon after a person is saved he is set on a specific course for his life that lies ahead of him. The Christian life is like running a race, but this is not a race towards the goal of eternal life. In this race only the person who has eternal life is qualified to run. The result of this race is that some of the participants will be crowned.
(1 Corinthians 9:24,25) Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we are incorruptible.
The crown represents the kingdom and signifies reigning, having dominion and glory. So to obtain the crown means to gain the kingdom. To reign with the Lord Jesus and have dominion and glory. For a Christian having eternal life is already a settled matter, but having the kingdom depends on how that Christian runs the race.
As soon as a person is saved he is set by God on a course which leads straight to the kingdom. His words, conduct, thoughts, and everything of his life, is related as to whether or not he may gain the kingdom. We have all been placed as Christians on this course. But whether or not we win the kingdom is a matter to be decided by our own selves.
Those that love the world and follow after the flesh are choosing between the kingdom of this world, and the kingdom of heaven. They are possessors of eternal life only, and not possessors of the kingdom of God, having fully submitted to and trusting in the will of the Lord Jesus.
The kingdom is the goal of our running the race. God gave us many witnesses in order to encourage us to live the life of faith.
(Hebrews 12:1) Wherefore seeing also we are compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
The kingdom before this generation is our goal. It depends how we run this race that will tell in the end failure or success. He who overcomes will reign with Christ, but he that is defeated, even though he is saved, he will have no part of the kingdom of glory.
In running two matters are absolutely important. The one is to lay aside the weight. And the other is to put away sin. Sin hinders the race the most and disqualifies people from running. Sin is the trespassing of the rules, and he who breaks the rules is not allowed to run a race. He is ordered to the sidelines.
A weight may not be sin, nor is it necessarily something bad, but it can easily entangle us. Anything which keeps us from running well or hinders our progress may be viewed as a weight.
(Mark 4:19) And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and becometh unfruitful.
Here the Lord Jesus says that the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Though riches are no sin, they never the less can hinder us. Those who desire to be rich cannot run well.
One's weight may be a deeply attached friend, a wanted position, or a much desired new home. These may not be sins, yet they are able to slow down our speed.
We must also run the race with patience because the reward is not given at the start. But at the very end of the course. It is presented after the last lap of the race has been taken.
We of this generation are well into the race and the goal is clearly seen.
This is a statement of my present understanding.

Paul,
Thank you for your e-mail and bringing this to my attention. It has been over 20 years since I calulated this and I don't remember for sure the process I went through. It sounds like you are much better at math than I am. What you say makes sense to me however I have not tried to recalulate breaking 1,000 years into one half hour.
I may be wrong on this. I ask you and other readers to calculaate the date First Trumpet Judgment. My Clculation was between June 24, 2007 and December 24, 2007
If your calculation is correct then mine is wrong and the dates of the Trumpet judgments would be about 7 months later than I have figured: You got 20 yrs, 10 months and a little over a day
So would this be the first trumpet should be sounded on January 25, 2008 and end on July 25, 2008?
Mathmaticians check this our for us to confirm this.
Tahank you Paul
Dear Brother Gary,
I hope I can call you as a brother in Christ. I just have a quick question of how you came up with your calculations of 20 yrs and 83 days. Here's how I figure it.
I know that in the grand scheme of things it is insignificant and I'm probably being anal. Through history there have been some calender variations but here is how I understand at this time. 1000 yrs would be 365000 days plus every 4th year adds a day (leap yr) so that would be 365240 days or there abouts.
Each 1/2 hr equals 1/48th of a day. So 365240 divided by 48 equals 7609.375 days.
The average number of days in a month is 30.416666 so that would be 250.17128 months.
Dividing by 12 would be 20.847606 years.
The remainder .847606 would be 309.37619 days.
That comes out to 10.171272 months
The remainder .171271 would be 1.2673608 days plus almost 6 and a half hours.
So I get 20 yrs, 10 months and a little over a day. We differ by several months...yes...insignificant, but, it aroused my curiosity and maybe I'm looking at it all wrong and I could be way off base. Just curious.
Paul
Interesting calculations

When one day is as a thousand years 1 second is equal to 4.1 days, if I am off in my original calculation I would be off by 51 second according to spiritual time and 7 months figuring earthly time.
Notice the wording according to KJV it says: about the space of half an hour.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
calculated this to be (1 second in heavenly time where one day one day on earth is equal to 1,000 years in heaven) to be a time span of 1 second is equal to 4.1 days on earth.
4.1 divided by 213 = 51 second
So calculating a half hour with my probable mathematical mistake would make the time 29 minuets and 9 seconds, or 51 second less that a 30 minuet half hour on June 24 2007.
Since God knows the end from the beginning. He already knew I would make that mistake before the Bible was written, actually even before creation.
It will be interesting to see, what the out come is in the reality of seeing it happen.
