FROM THE HEART:
Just a loving message to share my heart as a Fellow Believer in Jesus Christ...to the Body of Christ and also to those who are seeking and hungering after GOD...to know HIM.
Many people, through the years of my ministry in 57 nations, have asked deep questions with troubled faces and even tears in the eyes.
How can I find and know the Will of GOD?
How do I know the calling upon my life?
Why does it take so long for many to believe in Jesus Christ?
How can I crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit?
How can I walk by Faith and not live by sight?
How can I grow faster in Christ?
Where do I start to study the Word of God? The Bible is so big...
How do I know the Holy Spirit is speaking and not "just me?"
Can all Believers receive/deliver prophecies?
What about "visions and words from others?"
Why does there seem to be a constant battle in my spirit, soul and body?
How can I stay joyful and worship God?
Why do I not "speak/sing in tongues yet?"
Why did the Apostles and Disciples suffer some lack and also illnesses?
How can I know the difference between spiritual acts & works of flesh?
What is the difference between conviction and condemnation?
Why do I seem to be "stuck" in my spiritual growth?
AND MANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THEIR HEARTS.......
As a minister to so many varieties of people, cultures and levels of faith and education, I some times battle feeling overwhelmed with the massive challenge for the Gospel to reach the souls worldwide and also teach others to be disciples of Christ. Then it is time to focus upon God and worship Him allowing His strength to flood into my entire life!
We continue to pray that His Kingdom (His Rule) shall come and His will to be done on the earth as it is in Heaven.
Anyone with a prophet calling/office will truly understand the Holy Zeal inside a "common human being"....and this will drive that Believer in Christ to return again and again for private, focused and concentrated prayer time with the Father. The Lord Jesus gave us His entire life as the example of ministry balanced with prayer/fellowship time with the Father.
With these "From the Heart" messages...I have faith that the Lord will draw those who need the encouragement and instruction as they "go and grow in Christ." There are many nations in my Facebook Group and also on the second page "Rejoice Rally" (started July 11) which is growing for His glory and our good.
PROPHECIES: These are to be received by all Believers because the Holy Spirit indwells every Believer/Christian in Christ. All Believers are to "covet to prophesy" and move in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which exalt Jesus Christ. "Word of Wisdom" will be about future events, etc. "Word of Knowledge" will be "something known..." All of these can be found in a prophetic message/word.
I have found that there is always an intense interest in "knowing the future." GOD knows the future. And He gives His Church (the Body of Christ) info at times to help us be steady in our faith and daily lives. The devil also uses many ways to attract people who are "hungry to know the future!" These are the fortune tellers, the mystics (Hindu type origins such as Chakras, idolatry, vibrations, meditations, gambling, etc) witchdoctors/witches/witchcraft, horoscopes, etc. who use many devices to catch and trap gullible people who do not choose to seek Jesus and the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Everything must come from GOD to the Believer and be Light and Holy.
For a Christian to "dabble" into these dark and sinful activities is very dangerous and can lead to obsession, oppression, possession of evil spirits/demons just waiting to "devour them" (pulverize and drink them down like a "food/soul processor" in the spirit realm...)
FUTURE EVENTS ARE GIVEN BY GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND TO BLESS & HELP THE BODY OF CHRIST:
1. To Stand Firm
2. To Do Exploits
3. To Bring Understanding
4. To Endure Suffering
5. To Be Refined
6. To Resist Evil
7. To Find Rest in GOD

Many times when a prophecy is received with troubling future events in the message/word.....it can be "harder to deliver"...but Obedience to the Holy Spirit will keep the door open for God to bring more and more supernatural words, revelations and insights into our lives.
NOTE: PROPHECIES ARE ALSO GOD'S TOOLS TO WARN UNBELIEVERS....
*** COMMIT IN YOUR LIFE TO DO THE FIRST COMMANDMENT: "LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND and STRENGTH" ***
ALL THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS WILL "FALL INTO PLACE".......GOD IS LOOKING FOR WORSHIPERS FIRST......AND THEN THE "WORKS" WILL FOLLOW.....WHEN YOU LOSE YOURSELF IN WORSHIP...YOU WILL LOVE OTHERS and YOURSELF IN A MORE PERFECT/MATURE/HEALED WAY.....
MAY YOU GROW IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST...WITH PURE MOTIVATIONS and GOALS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT AS JESUS BRINGS GLORY TO THE FATHER THROUGH YOUR UNIQUE LIFE!
