Transition
by Delana Hodge [deejh50@hotmail.com]


Transition. We are in a place of transition. Jesus in the wilderness
is our model.

The wilderness is a temporary but intense place. It is meant to take
you from one level to the next. It is to prepare you for greater
ministry. How long you stay in the wilderness depends on your hearts
attitude. Remember the children of Israel. The wilderness was meant to
be a temporary place for them. but it ended up being forty years.
The wilderness was only meant to be a place of transition.

I am taking you higher. I will teach you how to stand in the wilderness.
You must know who you are in Me and what is written in My word. Then when
the devil speaks his lies to you in the wilderness, as he did with My
Son, you will say to him "It is written..."

There is another level of ministry awaiting you. Come up higher, endure
the fire. There is precious gold at the end. He who has begun a good
work in you will see it though until the day of Jesus Christ.



WILL YOU TRUST ME? by Judy Bauman 9/23 on: September



An exhortation from the Father's heart to yours: Will You Trust Me?


September 23, 2008

It is time to overcome - it is time to contend for your promise. Are you going to believe what I have told you and what I have spoken to you personally and through My prophets? Or are you going to embrace Satan's lies spoken through a spirit of doubt and unbelief? Whether he has spoken directly to you or through a "well-meaning" person, his lies spread poison. If you allow yourself to believe his doubt and unbelief over My promise to you, are you the only one who is defiled?
Certainly I say NOT!

My question to you is will you believe My promise over all you see and hear? If you will trust Me, you will see Me move heaven and earth to cause what I have spoken to you come to pass. My promises are "Yes in Christ Jesus" so that you can reply, "Amen to His glory."

PROPHETIC ALERT ON THE ECONOMY by Cindy Jacobs 9/23 on: September 23, 2008, 05:49:10 PM
Prophetic Alert on the Economy
by Cindy Jacobs
generalsinternational@generals.org

Dear Friends,



During a January worship service, the Lord spoke to me, ”Cindy, the strongman over America doesn’t live in Washington D.C.—the strongman lives in New York City! Call together my people to pray for the economy.”



The Lord said: ”October 29 was Black Tuesday, the day the stock market crashed, and Satan wants to do it again!”—the economy will crash without effective, fervent intercession.



Shaken to the core at this word from the Lord, I knew that I must call the people of God to converge in New York City the week of October 29 for an emergency prayer rally to cry out against economic collapse in the midst of shaking.



During the week of October 29, some of the finest apostolic prayer leaders from across the country will come together for several days of on-site prayer strikes at key locations throughout New York City, including Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, Mercantile Exchange, Federal Reserve, and the United Nations.



We are calling the body of believers from around the world to join us on October 31 and November 1 in Brooklyn, New York for Convergence ‘08—an emergency prayer rally for the immediate stabilization of our national and global markets.



October 31 is also Reformation Day in Germany. Mike and I were in Germany on this day in 2007, and as we stood before the Wittenberg Door, where Martin Luther tacked the Ninety-Five Thesis, we had four separate dramatic visitations. Each encounter stated it had been 490 years since the last reformation (Daniel 9) and advised that we pray for the beginning of a new reformation.



At that time, I had just finished a two-year period of writing my new book, The Reformation Manifesto (Bethany) on the subject of how to not only be a reformer, but how to reform the arts, media, family, government, education, economic systems, and other areas of society. The political parties within the United States and the United Nations currently run on a platform of reform as corruption is exposed around the world and citizens shout, ”We are tired of being used!” One leader in the U.S. said that it is a result of the addiction to O.P.M. (other people’s money) that corruption has almost destroyed our economic systems.



I am calling you to come from the ends of the earth to P.U.S.H.—Pray Until Something Happens--to shift the economy. What do I mean by “shifting the economy?” Last January, at Chuck Pierce’s Starting the Year Off Right conference, God released a prophetic word that He was going to ”shift the bull and the bear market to become a lion market” and continued, ”And I will have enough shares in this market.”



We know that we are to pray for the nations, but we have not known how to allow the Lion of Judah to run the economies of nations. He is the Creator and knows how to heal nations!



The Lord has shown me that He wants to release a corporate Joseph anointing into the body of Christ in 2009 and 2010. If one looks at the history of the 1929 stock market crash, it is clear that although many suffered, others gained great wealth because they knew what to do in difficult times. This is the manifestation of the Issacar anointing that we cry out to God for during this time of shaking. God will show us what to do.



Although the word I give is a strong, dire one, it is a merciful warning. Judgment can be averted, which allows for blessing and change in economic systems; this will eradicate systemic corruption so that systemic poverty may also be eradicated.



For the Lord says, ”I am answering your prayers and have begun the cleansing of Wall Street; exposing the wickedness and greed in high places. Pray now, and I will begin to give the leaders of the nation wisdom on how to re-vamp and reverse the debtor system currently in place. This is a course correction. If you do not pray at this time, you will miss your day of visitation and the economy will collapse, causing a ripple effect that will sweep the nations with a major tsunami wave.”



”This wave will begin to touch the ground, as even the harvests of the world will be affected. Food shortages, hyper-inflation, and other sorrows, especially affecting the poor will take place.”


”However,” the Lord says, “if my people respond and fall on their face and cry out at this time with a mighty cry, I will hear them and heal their lands.”


”Hear, o nations of the earth! Respond with weeping and travail and pray for the stock markets and economic systems. Pray for your leaders as well for the earth is in the throes of a deep shaking at this moment for the systems of the earth must be reformed.”


”Do not despair and think that I cannot heal—that I will not hear your crying to Me from My throne in heaven. My ear is carefully listening for your sound so I will reverse the curse and bring a blessing upon your lands.”



This is no time for business as usual! As in Joel 2, "it is time for the Bridegroom to come out of the chamber, and fight for the land".



Join us on October 31 – November 1 for Convergence ‘08 in Brooklyn, NY. Together, let’s P.U.S.H—Pray Until Something Happens!


Warring for the soul of our nation,



Cindy Jacobs



SUPPLY LINES WILL BEGIN TO DRY UP by Julie Baxter 9/23 on: September 23, 2008, 05:23:26 PM
Supply Lines Will Begin to Dry Up
by Julie Baxter


Beginning with the fall feasts of 2008 the enemy’s plans to dry up the supply lines to the Christian community will begin in force. What has been a trickle will become a flood. What has seemed difficult will become impossible. What has been a financial disaster for a few will seem to be a tsunami of ruin for many.



The enemy of the Lord has long planned to disrupt the army of the Lord. His plans are to discourage to the point of depression and lure many to consider suicide. He desires to bankrupt the church and stop the penetration of the Godly into his arenas.



He has long drawn into his web those who cannot handle their finances without spending to the uttermost. The lusts of the flesh, the pride of life and the forces of denial have enmeshed themselves in the pseudo-faith of many.



The very fact that our God is a benevolent and generous God, the very fact that He rescues and saves has been the truth that His enemy has twisted to his own use. The Body of Christ has neither lived in moderation nor sought balance in all things.



The enemy has scammed many into mortgages they could not afford. He has lured more into buying on credit that which is worthless a year later. His ways are devious and deceptive and the church is in a place of great trouble and yea, disaster.



What hope is there? What recourse is there for those who will hear what the Spirit is saying to the church?



The answer is obvious to those whose genuine faith has caused them to live Biblically. Sow. Sow. Sow. Give, give and give. Seek to be generous and the Lord will not only repay you, but He will open windows in heaven and pour out upon you. Seek to provide for the lost, orphans, widows and the poor and God will bless you. Give and give and give – not just one tenth, but whatever He asks you for. Set your giving goals high enough to show your faith by your works.



You have a short time to get your affairs in order. Do what you must now, do it quickly. Remember you are in the Lord’s army. Live like a soldier, stay armored up, and live with what you need for battle and for plundering the enemy’s camp.



Live on what God gives you. Buy no more than you need. Crucify the flesh and the desires of the flesh.



Waste no time. Now is not the time for sentiment. There are millions hanging in the balance and God wants to use you, but cannot if you are burdened down with possessions you will not be rid of when He says to lose them.



Seek the Lord for what you keep and what you let go of. Seek Him for He alone knows who you will house and how many. Seek the Lord for He alone knows what you need to disciple those He will bring to you if you will get ready.



Each individual is alone in this. You shall not put upon one another what the Lord decrees for you, for if you do you put yourselves in danger. Judging one another is the fastest way to bring ruin to your doorstep.



Hoard and you will come to disaster. The mark of the beast is for those who live beyond their means and cannot live on what God supernaturally provides. Consider everything you can purchase useless to you. It will all burn one day. Better it burns than you.

Move out.

Do not get frozen in indecision and double mindedness. You know by now that you will receive nothing from this mindset. But if you hear the Lord clearly and lift up your banner, it will become your standard. Think of it. What have I taught you that you have adopted as a family standard or banner. Have you not declared that God has given you and your family a new day and a new spiritual address? Have you not in fact walked away from some former hindrances? You have a new banner and a new standard. You are part of My mighty army in the earth. Angels have been assigned to carry out My word spoken in faith from the lips of believers. Now move out.
Numbers 2:17 “Then the Levites will set out from the middle of the camp with the Tabernacle. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.”

There is something you are continuing to ask Me how to handle. You are doing well because the problem has not been completely solved. There are several times you have been tempted to speak up. But you didn’t. It would have been the wrong time, so you are doing the right thing. I know you don’t want to act in the flesh. You want to follow Me. You are not sure you are hearing Me, but you are. Continue to wait on Me. Don’t jump ahead. I know this is hard but keep asking and keep following Me. I will bring a good resolution to the problem. Trust and watch Me.

As you prepare to enter a new spiritual year, you can and must choose what to take with you and what to leave behind. It will benefit you to take all that you have learned through the fiery trials you have endured -- the things that have enhanced your understanding and spiritual strength. And, leave behind all that has undermined your confidence and boldness in My kingdom, says the Lord, -- the things that left you with feelings of condemnation and failure. It will be like sorting fruit when you keep what is good and throw out what is rotten.
Jeremiah 24:3-7 Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad." Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart."




supreme – highest, best, ultimate, superlative, utmost, absolute, unbeatable, unmatched, top, extreme, greatest, matchless, untouchable





I am supreme in authority, beloved. All power, all dominion, has been given to Me, your Savior. Look to Me for deliverance in all circumstances. I am with you. I will see you through.



The days ahead will be wrought with manifestations of the enemy’s making. Do not despair. Look to Me. Your confidence in Me will see you through. Do not get sidetracked, but keep a single eye on your Beloved. I will never forsake you. I am with you, empowering you all the way. Remember this when adversity strikes, when adversity of the worst kind raises its ugly head. I am with you, beloved. I, the supreme authority in all the universe, will be with you always, beloved, always!!!


In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. (3) Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. (4) The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Isaiah 4: 2-4 NIV

"The Branch of the Lord" probably refers to the Messiah although some believe it refers to Judah. The point is that during the distress predicted by Isaiah, some people will be protected by God's loving grace. Those protected will be set apart to God when Messiah rules the earth ( Jeremiah 23:5,6; Zechariah 6:12, 13). Their distinctive mark will be holiness, not wealth or prestige.
The holiness comes from a sincere desire to obey God and from a wholehearted devotion to him. Evil will not always continue as it does now. The time will come when God will put an end to all evil.

1 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / MAKE A STRAIGHT WAY by C.Perry 9/24 on: Today at 05:34:00am
MAKE A STRAIGHT WAY

Is your way twisted and turned and crooked before you? I hear the Lord say well straighten up by the power of My word inside you. For it shall surely make your way straight when you speak to the path before you. Shall you cry to the road set before you or shall you falter before the road with no where to go? For the way shall not be renewed before you, but this is the road that must be used for My glory. For have I not said that the righteous shall not be forsaken, for the righteous live by faith and not by sight. Is the road high? Then humble yourself before Me. Is it too deep? Then seek Me with fervency, for surely I say the path will not change if you do not speak to it from the sight of heaven's eyes. It will remain the same. Shall it be that you try to review it over and over again to gain the strength needed to prevail? Shall it be to your demise to linger at the beginning of the trail? For surely I say it shall turn when you say okay, this is the way of the Lord that He said I must go. Shall it begin to turn into the blissful ride of joy? Will it remain the same? Only in your heart will you know, for those who will not take the road, the strength of their life they shall forgo.

Still in the Game
Timothy Jackson, Jr.
Sep 24 2008 08:00AM


10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.—
John 10:10-11 (NIV)

In the game of checkers, the goal is to jump over the opponent’s checkers until you have them all. One day I was playing checkers and it seemed like my opponent had gotten the best of me, however, during the game I had managed to get a king. What I like about the king is that the king is able to make moves that ordinary checkers couldn’t make. After a while, I found myself depending on the king to stay in the game. I simply moved the king from corner to corner because I realized that a king in a corner cannot be jumped. My opponent began to get upset because I was so dependent on the king that was on the board and he simply asked me to give up. I simply looked at him in the face and said, “as long as I have a king on the table, I am still in the game.”

There are some of us who feel like we have been jumped over time and time again. Jumped over on the job, jumped over in school, jumped over in your finances, jumped over in relationships, jumped over in this, jumped over in that. Sometimes it seems that the enemy has all of our checkers and we our hope is fading. We must be encouraged because as long as we have the King in our corner, we are still in the game (of life). We are still in the game simply because the King can make moves that ordinary people can’t make. Although it seems the enemy has gotten the best of us, if we keep depending on the King, after while the King will cause the enemy to get frustrated and give up the game you thought he was winning. Still in the Game!

Be blessed!

4 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / NOW FAITH IS by Rev. Peter Ndamba 9/24 on: Today at 05:27:10am
African Ministries International

Now faith is vol.23
Rev.Peter Ndamba
Sep 24 2008 07:46AM


Now Faith is.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb.11:1).

Substance in Gk- (Hupostasis) from huphistamai, to be placed or stand under. In general, something which has been put under; therefore used for basis or foundation, substance, existence;

Something is already put under,
Something is in place.

In faith brothers and sisters, we need to hold fast, make sure you are in the position; you don’t need to be wick. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. In Gk.-Hupotuposis. (2Tim.1:13).

Evidence of things- in Gk-Elegchos; conviction, it implies not merely the charge on the basis of which one is convicted, but also the manifestation of the truth of the charge.

Gods word is charging us to wait and see the evidence that comes out believing in the Lord, our faith when is increased we’ll have all what faith tell us.

Now faith, Gk- Pisteou- faith, belief, or to believe.
- Pistis; being persuaded, and confidence in certain divine truths, which is the word of the Lord.
- Miracles faith,
- Faith is Christ Jesus our Lord,
- Pistos;
- To be faithful, or worthy to believe.
- True just trustworthy,
- Steadfast to ones trust, word, or promise.
- Pistoo; Pistos- Faithful, as a verb;
- To confirm, establish, ascertain, make faithful.
- Pistoomai- or Pistoumai, spoken of a person.

This is all about faith, without faith it is impossible to please him. Friends I challenge all of you to begin to walk in faith.

The result of faith- is to get my result. Always faith gives me answer.


5 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / YOUR CHOICES by Marsha Burns 9/24 on: Today at 05:23:46am
Rejoice in the opportunities that I will present for you to come face to face with your attitudes and motives, says the Lord, for you will be able to deliberately choose your responses rather than react instinctively. You will be able to experience the expressed difference between walking in the Spirit and yielding to the lusts of the flesh.

I am reminded of the nursery rhyme:
There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid!

Your choices will take on exaggerated significance as you deal with issues that require righteousness, particularly in the areas of relationships and finances. The results of your decisions will either be spectacular or disastrous. There will be no middle ground.

If you will listen to My voice and obey My leading, says the Lord, and not harden your heart in rebellion, I will take you through the maze of every trial to gain the victory over the enemy of your soul. But, if you insist on going your own way, you will have to pay the piper; you will suffer the unpleasant consequences of your choices and actions.

In the beginning of your awareness of My Spirit, says the Lord, you lacked the maturity and understanding in the manifestation of spiritual gifts. And, as children do, you played and entertained yourself with your calling and gifting. According to 1 Corinthians 13:11 -- when you were a child, you spoke as a child, you understood as a child, you thought as a child; but you are becoming an adult spiritually, and you will put away childish things. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will no longer be play things, but will now become your tools for ministry as I lead you forth into the fullness of your calling.

For those who have trusted Me and have heard My voice, I say that I will honor your obedience and will bless and establish you in your going out and your coming in; in your rising up and your sitting down. For, I am bringing you to a higher octave in your gifting and calling that will resonate in the spirit realm with greater power and effectiveness than you could have imagined, says the Lord.

Psalms 121:8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Number 6:24-26 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."

AMEN!



6 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / KEEP YOUR BLADE SHARP by Ras & Bev Robinson 9/24 on: Today at 05:20:34am
September 24, 2008. Keep your blade sharp. You will save yourself much effort and time by doing so. Only a negligent hand and a dull mind would allow a dull blade to continue. I say unto you, you have done well to keep your blade sharp through the study of My word and the seeking daily of My wisdom. The devil, your mortal enemy, is constantly seeking ways to outwit and compromise you. Never let him get the upper hand. In My word is all you need to know about the enemy and how to defeat him. I say unto you visit your sharpening block or strap often. Enjoy the art and skill of keeping the finest edge possible. I have now instructed you.
Ecclesiastes 10:10 “Since a dull ax requires great strength, sharpen the blade. That's the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.” Ras Robinson*

September 24, 2008. There are many things which have concerned you. You and I know some are really bad. I know about them all. Nothing has come that I have not allowed. I am sovereign, but I did not cause them. We both have an enemy and he brings destruction and separation. You have responded in a good way. You are praying and rolling all these things over on Me. I am the One who lifts the burden. I am the one who brings conviction and restoration. You are praying and trusting Me, and this is the right way. These are not for you to handle. I turn bad things into good things.
Romans 8:28-29 “That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son.” Bev Robinson**
