Mercury & Lightning - John Mark McMillan

Oct 05, 2017 by Will Maule  HelloChristian

"Mercury & Lightning" is the title track off John Mark McMillan's new album. It is an epic cry
out for God and his presence. "I need a new religion, Or I need a new life," the honest lyrics
read. Check out the full lyrics below plus the crazy video and track below that!

I've been chasing God
I've been chasing mercury and lightning

And I've been pressing hard
I've been coming up short
Lately, I've been thinking about
What's gonna happen with you and I
I need a new religion
Or I need a new life

I've been on the phone
I've been chasing mercury and lightning
Pressing for the deal to close
I've been coming up short
Lately, I've been thinking about
What's going on between you and I
I need a true religion
Or I need a new life

I swear I've heard the echoes of a voice
Like a dream that you feel, but you don't remember
I've known it ever since I was a boy
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
I swear I've heard the echoes of a voice
Like a dream that you feel, but you don't remember
I've known it ever since I was a boy
Like a word on the tip of my tongue

Lately, I've been thinking about
What's gonna happen with you and I
I need a new religion
Or I need a new life

Grapes and Raisins, Promises and Fulfillments By ROBIN MCMILLAN

Grapes and Raisins, Promises and Fulfillments By ROBIN MCMILLAN Over the years I have accumulated a number of unfulfilled personal promises from the Lord. Recently I mentioned to Him that I didn't understand why He had not yet fulfilled them. Its not that I'm unusually impatient nor extraordinarily patient, but some of these promises are over 30 years old. As I questioned the Lord I saw a picture in my mind of a scoop in heaven pouring out raisins. At first I disregarded what I saw. It seemed foolish and of no consequence. However I couldn't shake it and so began to inquire of the Lord about it. Grapes are the clearest old testament prophetic image representing a promise. When the twelve spies returned from spying out the 'promised land' they brought back grapes as proof of its great fruitfulness. The grapes of Eschol were so large that it took two men to carry back one bunch on a long stick between them. Grapes became synonymous with the promised land and are the prototypical picture of a promise. Now, raisins. Raisins are grapes dried up. They don't look near as good as plump juicy grapes but they fulfill a different purpose. In the ancient world they sustained soldiers in times of war or people traveling distances who need nutritious food that would not perish. Grapes only last a short time but raisins have the ability to sustain people in dry difficult circumstances over the long haul. Jeremiah once said, "I found your word and ate it and it became the joy and rejoicing of my heart..." Thats what we must do to inherit the promises of God. We must eat them, chew on them, meditate upon them, consume them and make them ours. Promises come like grapes but are fulfilled like raisins. Over time our personal promises seem to dry up and wither just like a grape that becomes a raisin, but if we will eat them they shall sustain us until their time of fulfillment arrives. REMEMBER: PROMISES COME LIKE GRAPES BUT ARE FULFILLED LIKE RAISINS.  Read in browser »   BUY MOOSETALES  click here Mystic MooseTales: Redefining Wildlife My primary purpose for writing MooseTales is to impart two things to the current generation: love for Jesus and authentic hunger for the historic supernatural God of the Bible.

Favor: Having It, Keeping It, Increasing It. - Robin McMillan

Favor: Having It, Keeping It, Increasing It. By Robin McMillan The favor of the Lord enables us to accomplish His purposes and live supernaturally blessed lives. Over the years I have seen favor ebb and flow in my life, in lives of others, and in different ministries. How do you get it, how do you keep it, and how do you increase it? Inquiring minds want to know. Ask How do you get favor? Every good thing comes from God: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17). To have favor, we must ask: “Yet, you do not have because you do not ask” (James 4:2b).  My Favor is for You In the context of asking James also said, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (James 4:2b-3).  When we don’t understand that God gives us favor primarily for others, we are in danger of losing or diminishing that favor. Motives matter. Paul wrote in I Corinthians 14:1&12, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” And, “Even so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, let it be for the building up of the church that you seek to excel”. In the context of the use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit Paul wrote the love chapter, I Corinthians 13. The ‘more excellent way’ Paul spoke of in I Corinthians 12:31 is using the gifts of the Spirit in expressions of love for the benefit of others.  My favor is for you, and your favor is for them. Being Thankful John the Baptist said,  “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven” (John 3:27). We thank God to acknowledge that what we have, what we can do, and what we are, He has given us as a free gift. Being thankful also has the potential to increase our favor. “…God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble” (I Peter 5:5).  Honest heart felt thanksgiving is manifest humility and attracts the grace of God. Loving People Period People know if we really love them. Peter wrote: “Honor all people…” (I Peter 2:17). Intentionally showing people honor is a very simple way to practically show them love. Then they are open to what we can bring them. Often we reserve our love for those we approve of or those who love us. Of that Jesus said, “…love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?…(Matthew 5:44-46). We will ultimately only influence people we truly love. Bitterness Free Authenticity The proliferation of social media has tainted this current generation like no other, either by hype or hypocrisy. Many long for authenticity and authentic believers. Becoming authentic is often a painful and expensive process, and many who have suffered have become bitter. God isn’t interested in promoting people whose favor is soured by bitterness. Be real, but don’t be critical. That will certainly diminish your favor level. Imparting Hope The level of our influence will rise to the level of our ability to impart legitimate hope, the joyful confident expectation of good. Hope is one of the primary missing ingredients in not just the world but the church as well. If we don’t have hope we must realize we have bought into an inaccurate theoligical/cultural belief system. Hopelessness is its ‘witness’ that that belief system is false. Hope is the atmosphere where favor thrives. We are serving the ‘God of all hope’ and living inside us is Christ ‘the hope of glory’. Divine hope is part of our spiritual DNA. Let that hope arise in your heart now and may your favor increase.

Robin McMillan: Mighty Works: A Key To Saving Our Nation - The Elijah List

Robin McMillan:

Mighty Works: A Key To 

Saving Our Nation

The Elijah List

Pursuit for Mercy

Toward the end of His earthly ministry, Jesus issued a strong judgment against Capernaum, but within it I find an overlooked and hopeful promise for us, our cities, and our nation.

"And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you" (Matthew 11:23-24).

In Genesis 18 the Lord and two angels visited Abraham and Sarah for dual purposes: They came to affirm God's promise to give them a child of their own, and to visit Sodom and Gomorrah to investigate firsthand the grave nature of the sin of its inhabitants. First, the Lord affirmed His promise to the couple, then discussed with Abraham His plan concerning the land of Sodom.

Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way. And the Lord said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him."

And the Lord said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know." Genesis 18:16-21

God revealed his heart by involving Abraham as He considered what must be done in Sodom and Gomorrah. It is obvious the Lord didn't want to destroy it, and so engaged Abraham in a conversation that could possibly change the outcome. Abraham appealed to God based on His goodness and righteousness.

"Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"(Genesis 18:24-25).

Abraham appealed to the Lord, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

Surely He would not slay the righteous with the wicked, Abraham must have thought. Would God do such a thing if fifty righteous people lived there?

God agreed to spare the city if but fifty righteous lived there. We know the rest of the story. Abraham continued to intercede, reducing the number of righteous people until he stopped at just ten righteous ones living there. Each time the Lord adjusted His decision to destroy them.

Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." Genesis 18:32

Of note to me is Abraham's persistent pursuit for mercy. Some in our generation are calling for God to judge and destroy people, cities, and nations – but Abraham looked for reasons for God to extend mercy. God seemed to like that attitude, too.

Perhaps those who call for judgment do not believe that God can and will raise up those who walk in the kind of power that Jesus referred to in His denouncement of Capernaum. 

I believe the righteous response in our generation is for many to pursue the Lord for a fresh and extraordinary anointing for healing and miracles.

We should ask the Lord, "How can we partner with You to see our cities restored?" Might that be the higher road?

Our Example To Follow: The Father Of Our Faith

"Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him and increased him." 

For the Lord will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:1-3 

(Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Abraham is called our Father of Faith and is an example for the kind of attitudes and actions we should demonstrate toward the wicked and rebellious. Such were some of us...actually, all of us...so deserving of God's judgment and destruction. Yet the Lord Himself delighted in Abraham's appeal and wanted to involve him in the outcome. 

Intercession Alone – Not Enough To Save Sodom

Some have concluded, and rightly so, that intercession like Abraham's plays a significant role in saving cities. What would have happened if Abraham had not stopped at ten but appealed to the mercy of God if but one righteous person lived within that wicked place? We don't know, but perhaps just one person, one righteous person living there, could have made the difference. We see that Lot and his family did not qualify as ones who were able to turn the tide, but should there have been enough righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah, people who moved in power, Jesus said it would have existed another 2,000 years!

But, intercession alone would not have saved Sodom and Gomorrah. It would have taken someone who operated in "mighty works," for Jesus said..."if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day" (Matthew 11:23b).

Think of it. Jesus said that Sodom and Gomorrah would have continued at least 2,000 more years if someone could have done there the mighty works Jesus did when He lived in Capernaum. They would have repented in light of that kind of demonstration, and the region would have averted its horrible fate.

What then constitutes a righteous man? Is it intercession alone? 

No, it is an intercessor who also moves in the power of signs and wonders. Both of those characteristics contain the ability to produce repentance and restoration. Is it absolute? No. It wasn't enough for Capernaum, but Jesus said it would have been enough to have saved a place as evil as Sodom!

I Was Startled By Unexpected Enlightenment: New Year's Eve Revelation

One recent New Year's Eve my wife and I stayed at home, the only time in decades when we didn't attend a time of corporate worship ushering in the New Year. We both retired around10:00 PM. Beside our beds we each have lamps that I inherited from my parents, who had them for years before we did, and we now have had them for over 15 years. At 10:38 PM my wife's lamp suddenly turned on of its own accord. It had never done that before and has not done it since. Although she was sound asleep, I wasn't. I awoke her, saying, "Donna, your light just turned on...by itself!" She sat up in bed a little confused by it all, turned it off, and went right back to sleep.

I was greatly startled by the unexpected "enlightenment." How does your bedside lamp turn itself on? I believed an angel did it. I know that can be debated, but at least I knew God was speaking to me through it. When I reviewed the facts with her the next morning, she told me that she thought it was just a fluke, because the lamp was old and had become increasingly more difficult to turn on! I thought, "Well, that further confirms to me that the Lord is speaking through the occurrence, because if it is harder than normal to turn it on, someone invisible was 'strong enough' to do it without our help!"

When it happened, I noticed the exact time: 10:38 PM, and felt that time represented a Bible verse that immediately came to mind – Acts 10:38:

"...how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."

God Is Able To Save Whole Families, Whole Cities, Even Whole Nations

I got my New Year's message that night. God turned the light on Acts 10:38. It is time for an anointing from Jesus where everyone gets healed! In reading the Wuest Expanded Translation, I am amazed at how many times Jesus healed every one of every sickness and disease.

And He was going around in the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and making a public proclamation of the good news regarding the Kingdom, and healing all chronic and serious disease and all occasional illness among the people. And the report concerning Him went off into the whole of Syria. And they brought to Him all those who were in a miserable condition physically, suffering with various kinds of chronic and serious ailments and acute pains, and those who were demonized and epileptic and paralytic, and He healed them...Matthew 4:23-25, Wuest Expanded Translation

And Jesus was going about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and making a public proclamation of the good news concerning the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. Matthew9:35, Wuest Expanded Translation 

(Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Now, when Jesus came to know it, He withdrew from there, and many people followed with Him. And He healed them all. Matthew 12:15, Wuest Expanded Translation

And there came to Him large crowds having with them those who were lame, maimed, blind, dumb, and many others having illnesses of a different nature, and they flung them to the ground at His feet. And He healed them, so that the crowd marvelled, seeing those who had been dumb speaking, and those who had been maimed whole, and those who had been lame walking about, and those who had been blind, seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.Matthew 15:30-31, Wuest Expanded Translation

It was normal for Jesus to heal every one of every thing. He healed those who had "chronic and serious disease and all occasional illness," and "all those who were in a miserable condition physically, suffering with various kinds of chronic and serious ailments and acute pains...epileptic and paralytic"...and those who "were lame, maimed, blind, dumb, and many others having illnesses of a different nature."

In the Gospel of Matthew alone the Bible records at least SIX times that Jesus healed everyone of everything! I only quoted Matthew's Gospel to show the frequency of Jesus healing all. Will He do the same today? Yes, for Jesus does today what He did yesterday and that He will do forever, just as the writer of the Book of Hebrews affirms: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).

What would happen if Jesus anointed people at that level today? It would be amazing. Once again people from all levels and strata of society would flock to get healed. We must not settle for less than that. 

God is able to save whole families, whole cities, even whole nations with that level of mighty works. 

It may mean the difference in wholesale destruction or the restoration of our nation. If it could have saved Sodom and Gomorrah and preserved that city for an additional 2,000 years, what could it do for our beloved nation today?

The 3-H Club: Hungry, Hope, & How…

My friend Bob Jones passed away last week. It was a bitter sweet time; sweet for him and bitter for us. He had been suffering a lot physically the last several years, but not now. He’s in heaven more alive than he has ever been but we will surely miss that man!

I met Bob in the spring of 1989, but I had heard of him the year earlier. During that season I could be accurately described as a weary man who had lost his vision and purpose in God. I continued to look after my family of 6, take my kids to church, but I was deeply dis-satisfied with my life in God, and extemely disappointed as a result of having been fully committed and involved for a decade in a spiritual enterprise that ended poorly.
Hungry:
At this critical crossroads of my life I listened to a tape series from the Kansas City Fellowship that highlighted Bob and the remarkable supernatural relationship he had with God. Immediately I regained my capacity to dream, both in the night and in the sense of once again seeing my destiny in God and believing I could successfully fulfill it. Bob made me hungry for God. Thats ‘H’ number one.

Hope:
I grew up Reformed Presbyterian tradition and am grateful for that heritage but I had experiences in God that were much different than what they were used to particularly in the late 1960′s and 1970′s. The supernatural reality that Bob communicated and radiated, and the unusual nature of his relationship with God gave me hope. Bob ‘legitimized’ my kind of relationship with God.

How:
As I got to know Bob and ministered with him to many people I learned a lot. He had an unusual ability to see exactly what a person needed and could speak into their lives with power and compassion. As I watched and participated with him, he showed me how to be effective in prophetic ministry.

The 3-H Club
Bob made me hungry, gave me hope, and taught me how. That's my job now too; to make people hungry for God, give them a legitimate reason to hope, and show them how they can help other people. I know Bob did this for many other people. He left a great deposit in the world and I am honored to have been a part of his life.

Joseph’s Coat

In a recent dream I found myself in an expensive clothing store filled with the most marvelous garments. Rack after rack of amazing colorful coats filled the fine establishment. I thought, “Who wouldn’t want one of these fine garments?”

As I gazed over the racks of coats one in particular caught my attention. I carefully pulled it from the racks and tried it on. The coat had a ‘Carolina’ sky blue front, a colorful wide striped back with a delicate expensive amber colored leather collar. I looked at myself in a full-length mirror admiring the fit. It had unusual ¾ length sleeves and was made to fit as a waist length jacket. It fit perfectly. It was as if it were tailor made for me.

I stepped outside to see how it looked in natural light. I was delighted with such a colorful and fine fitting coat. I turned to go back into the store to pay for it only to discover that the store was nowhere to be found. It had disappeared -but the coat remained. I could not pay for it.

Interpretation

God is ready to clothe many with a ‘tailored made’ new anointing in 2014 typified by the coat of many colors that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. This new anointing will release a new level of prophetic revelation represented by the heavenly sky blue color that covered the front of the garment.

In the dream I could not pay for the coat. It had already been paid for. We could never pay enough to obtain something that only God can provide. It is not something we can earn. It must be given and we must deeply appreciate that truth to wear it and use it with humility and wisdom.

The fact that the back was striped speaks of a new level of healing anointing. Isaiah 53:3 records:

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”

The expensive leather collar speaks of how everything of value must be paid for with shed blood just as the Lord shed the blood of animals to cover Adam and Eve with leather garments after their fall. Collars can speak of identity. Some crimes are white collar ones while other ones are blue collar crimes distinguishing between the societal level of the crimes. This collar was amber speaking of the color of the glory of God. This coat will be attended by the glory of God.

We find other significance of this anointing from the life of Joseph and his colorful garment:

“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors” (Genesis 37:3).

Bible scholars have differing understandings of this coat’s appearance. Aryeh Kaplan in the Living Torah explains it this way: “It was a royal garment. The word passim can be translated as colorful, embroidered, striped, or with pictures. It can also denote a long garment, coming down to the palms of the hands and the feet. Hence, it may be translated as a ‘full sleeved robe’, ‘a coat of many colors’, ‘a coat reaching to his feet’, ‘an ornamented tunic’, ‘a silk robe’, or ‘a fine woolen cloak’.

The coat represents the favor Joseph had from his father and spoke of the primary leadership of his family he would one day obtain. His coat was one of great promise, giftedness and authority.

The coat was a gift. We could never pay for something so precious. But as many of us have discovered, some gifts become very expensive. This next new anointing will be that way too.

In Joseph’s case the coat focused his brothers’ jealousy and hatred. We will discover that this new coat may generate just such responses from those who don’t understand why God anoints those He does. Ultimately his brothers stripped Joseph of his coat, sold him into slavery, dipped the coat in blood, and lied to their father about him having been killed by wild animals.

It was necessary for Joseph to lose the outward sign of the anointing and be severely tested in order to function at the highest level the robe initially promised. The jealousy and hatred of his brothers were part of the price Joseph paid to live out the gift he was given. The garment being soaked in blood reveals that every anointing must be sanctified for it to be ultimately successful. 

When Moses anointed Aaron and his sons for service he stripped them, washed them, clothed them, then anointed them. Afterward he sanctified them with blood:  “Also he took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. Then he brought Aaron’s sons. And Moses put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet.” (Leviticus 8:23-24).

How many men and women have been destroyed because they did not submit to the entire process meant to insure the success of the ministry gifts and anointing God gave them? Many. We must be men and women who have submitted to the processes of the Lord if we are to ‘wear’ his anointing successfully. We must never submit to jealousy and selfish ambition if we are to function effectively. Such selfish ambition releases much evil:

“But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there” (James 3:14-16. 

God is releasing new levels of anointing, colorful mantles He freely gives, but with each one comes a price. Joseph graduated from God’s school of the anointing and ruled in Egypt with dignity, mercy, and kindness. His understanding of the redemptive ways of God and his lack of self-centeredness enabled him to revive his father’s household and preserve the lineage of the Messiah. 

That is the purpose of the anointing. It is not primarily to make your ministry a success, although it can. Joseph used his anointing to empower and enrich many who had lost their inheritances. It is to restore households, free prisoners, reclaim legacies, and declare the glory of God through the lives of redeemed people.

“That we might be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified” (Isaiah 61:3).

Prepare your hearts. A new precious and dangerous anointing is being released even now. Use yours with wisdom, humility, and dignity.

My primary purpose for writing MooseTales is to impart two things to the current generation: love for Jesus and authentic hunger for the historic supernatural God of the Bible. I chose the allegorical style because it lends itself to creativity in a wide range of expression and humor.

In my imagination there exists a world where animals walk on two legs, demonstrate all the attributes of humans, and live and interact together with people. In just such a world Theodore Conquest ‘Mystic’ Moose lives and does his exploits. Many of these tales are based on events that have literally happened to flesh and blood men and women. These people I know.

This celebration of Bob Jones life, who passed on Feb. 14, 2014 (Valentines Day) at the age of 84, was held at MorningStar Ministries Heritage International in Fort MIll, SC. Attended by several thousand, worship leaders and speakers gave tribute to Bob's life.

Bob, a Seer Prophet had an extraordinary supernatural prophetic gift, and was loved greatly. He was one of the most respected prophetic voices in recent times. Few touched the Body of Christ worldwide like Bob Jones. He was a forerunner and grandfather to the modern prophetic ministry, to leaders in almost every other field of influence for more than four decades. (You can read the full service booklet's words near the end of this blog posting.)

As a personal testimony in knowing Bob, I want to share his prophetic word he gave to both Laurie and I, as written in my first book, The Promise - One Man's Journey To See God's Word Revealed. Here is an excerpt from Chapter 11, "Worship the Lord God of Israel", pages 82-85.

In the meantime, the Lord didn’t forget about those desires He had put in my heart from my early years.  From time to time, He would bring a word of encouragement, such as the following.

On the ninth day of January 1997, Mahesh and Bonnie had arranged a time for Bob Jones, who has an anointed prophetic voice, to come to the All Nations Church office.  He was to share with the staff and leaders of our young church.  I didn’t know much about Bob, only that the Lord was using him to speak things that others simply were not doing.  Some would think his prophetic gifting was strange, but I was open to hearing what the Lord would say through this vessel.  Laurie and a few other wives were able to join the staff too. 

We gathered in the ‘chapel’ room, a converted garage, where the Watch of the Lord was birthed only two years earlier.  Bonnie asked Bob if he would start with Laurie and I when he was ready to start to minister.

And so he began:

Bob:    Just move up here in front and face me.  Years ago, a bolt of lightning hit my hand.  In that, there comes a trembling or a feeling in my hand to the fingers.  When you feel that, I want you to move the fingers, and I’ll tell you what it means.  When the Lord intends to start a fire down here on the earth, He always does it with lightning.  Thunder is His voice, and lightning is His power. And several places in the United States now the earth is beginning to thunder and scientists can’t find out what it is.  I know what it is.  It’s God’s voice. ... it thundered continually out of a clear sky.  The voice of the Father went over this area in 1980.  What He spoke then is coming into being now.  So put your hands up like that, and when I begin to touch hands, some of you will turn totally purple.  The rest of you want to see, get up here behind.

Now this man’s hands are turning brown.  That is the love-slave.  You understand that?  Now, can you feel where the flow is coming through your fingers?  Now, you can’t feel it with your head.  Close those eyes, and just let faith arise and move those fingers.  Good. That’s right.  Here and here.  You feel it flowing? 

·                     So one thing the Lord is doing with you, you have got a pastoral anointing on you right here.

·                     Also evangelism, brother, and teaching.  And the revelation is coming for this. And this in here, the evangelism, the church needs the evangelistic encouraging edge. 

·                     Also this in here, and the revelation gifts in here are for counseling people and setting people free from all manner of things. 

·                     So what the Lord is bringing you into is also a deliverance ministry.  You understand that?  You can open your eyes now.  I just wanted you to see it, so if there is anything you don’t understand while I’m speaking.  What this is doing is confirming what you are.  You got it?  Do you?  What this is doing is showing people they are qualified to do these things. 

·                     So there’s beginning to come a good teaching ministry in you to prepare people for this evangelistic ministry, which is setting people free from all manner of things.  Healing the brokenhearted and setting the captive free.  This is what He is beginning to work in you.  And in that, the word in season will come out of you continually, so you already have the word in season for people. 

·                      

·                     And what the enemy has been trying to do to you is misdirect your visions and everything to where you’re not doing the proper intercession.  So he’s really trying to make you so busy that the intercession doesn’t get you to where faith arises in you.  You understand that?  So don’t let him do that.  Spend that quality time with Him, because you can get through to Him now.  So you’re going to be part of the soul winning, too.  Got that one?  And so, He’s bringing you to where that love in you comes to that point that it boils over and isn’t denied. 

·                     So He’s working the work of faith in you to do the things He’s called you to do.  And already He has qualified you to begin to do these things now.  And the evangelist ministry in you is to bring the Word of God and to free people from defeat, disappointment, disgust, disillusionment, and confusion.  You understand that one? 

·                     These are the things that have been coming at you.  And you’ve got a victory over that, and anything you’ve got victory over, you can free others from.  So He’s really putting the earring in the left ear to where when you stand up — whether you’ve got the word or not — the only way you can fail is to shut up, and that’s what the enemy has been wanting you to do.  So stand up instead of shut up.  Go forth and speak that encouraging word that sets people free from the change of the inner man to where the Spirit of God can get out of them and go forth and do things.  You got it? 

·                     Now the third, which you’ll begin to see, look how their hands begin to shine.  Oh, it’s a beautiful oil.  Also they’re beginning to turn purple, so here’s an intercessor, too.  Can you feel where the flow is coming up? 

·                     You have the teacher, counselor, deliverance ministry, and the praiser.  You understand that?  This is really.... sometimes you can lead others into praise, even both of you.  You’ve overcome your selfishness and self-centeredness.  You can’t praise God and remain selfish.  So you’ve got a calling right in here. 

·                     Get ready for this to start coming to blue in you — revelation.  You got that?  This is the driest thing in you.  Feel this counsel in you.  Oh, we can see it here.  Look here?  See it?  That love in you is ripe. 

·                     That pastoral mother in you is real.  I feel the balm coming.  Good, good, good.  Let it flow in your hands.  That anointing is there now.  You’ll feel the trembling and things coming.  This is Isaiah 66:2.  This trembling that came into you like it did then, you’ll feel it when you’re praying for others.  See?  When you begin to pray for others, come.  You got it?  Good. 

·                     Take a deep breath now, brother.  Good.  There it comes.  Good.  I want to show you something.  The rest of you watch this.  Okay.  Keep going.  Now let your spirit ... that’s it.  That’s it.  Good!  It’s like pouring water out of a well.  There you go.  That’s pulling Jesus up.  Good.  There it is.  See how it comes on the back of your head?  Good, that’s where you set ‘em free.  You set ‘em free with power.  Take that breath.  Good, good.  There’s your spirit man.  That’s it.  Good. Hallelujah.

·                     Now, when you’re ministering to people, this is what you do.  You can’t do anything for them.  It’s Jesus in your spirit that does it.  And when you put faith in love, releasing them, He’ll do the things He always did.  See that flow?  That’s power, brother.  See it?  See how it comes through you?  If you’ll just love.  You don’t have to know anything.  If you know, then God teaches you over on the side.  But when the Spirit comes, He’ll do what He wants to do. 

·                     One thing He’s doing here in a big way, He’s going to heal emotions.  Bonnie’s done a teaching on that, and later on today she’ll be sharing with you.  You got any questions?  It’s sort of like family here.  If you’ve got any questions, let’s get it out.  Amen. 

·                                                                     He’s preparing you ... all this preparation ... He’s like a surgeon preparing people for a new heart.  People need to be prepped for the surgery.       This is your job — prep ‘em.         

·                     This is your heart coming here — a divine heart.
