Prophetic Word: Prophetic Clarity Will Carry You Through This Season

12/9/2017 ANA WERNER  CHARISMA NEWS

Clarity of Focus Will Carry You Through

We can look at Nehemiah in the Bible as a groundbreaker. In his time, he was a person whom the Lord placed strategically to bring reformation and restoration as well as to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. What Nehemiah carried should be an eye-opener to us prophetic ones, as we are entering into a season of rebuilding, reassignment and swift change. Our prophetic ears and eyes should shift towards Nehemiah as an example and illustration of how we can navigate this season in which we live. We are: contending and begging the Lord for the rebuilding, asking for favor to carry out our assignment and overcoming immense discouragement. Nehemiah kept a clear focus on the goal of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, even in the face of great adversity.

Your Prophetic Promises Have an Adversary

Once Nehemiah and his cohort had successfully rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem, the enemies of the Israelites rose up. It's a prophetic picture of opposition that we cannot overlook. As we cross the threshold of the prophetic promises God has placed over our lives in this season, often that advancement will irritate the enemy and cause him to try and strike back. How do we push through the enemy's traps and assaults, to walk fully into our promise from God?  

Clarity of Focus

Setting a perfect trap to entice Nehemiah and pull him away from finishing the reconstruction, the Israelites' enemies rose up intending to harm him. "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono," they said to Nehemiah. (Neh. 6:2, NASB). Receiving prophetic revelation from the Lord–"they are planning to harm me" (Neh. 6:2)—Nehemiah sends a message back to them. "I am doing a great work and cannot come down" (Neh. 6:3). I believe this is a key mindset for us in this hour!  Nehemiah tuned into what God was saying, and tuned out the adversarial voices.

Clear Focus Will Carry You Through the Testing

Just recently, Holy Spirit woke me up at 4:30 in the morning to speak to me. I love Holy Spirit wake up calls! Through a profound encounter with the Lord, I heard the phrase, "Clarity of focus will carry you in this season."

The following questions were then presented to me by the Lord. "Who are you listening to right now? Is My voice the loudest?" I heard Him ask.

Let us not forget that as Jesus was just baptized and received the blessing and public honor from His Father, He was then led into the desert for a season of testing. Before He would begin to minister, deliver His first sermon and perform His first miracle, there was a time of testing from the enemy.

The devil met Him there in the desert and tempted Him when Jesus was weak from fasting. In our weakened state, the enemy tries to hit us and get us off course from reaching the promises of God for our lives.

What sustained Jesus and helped Him fight off the enemy was the Word of God!  "It is written ..." Jesus quotes Scripture back at the enemy's attacks, and the enemy loses his grip and has to try something else. We cannot overlook this. The power of the written Word of God breaks the enemy's grip and causes him to back away from us.

So when the Lord said to me, "Who are you listening to right now?" and "Is My voice the loudest?"  I felt pressed to get more of the Word of God in me during this season. It's a key to unlocking the promises over our lives.

Refocus, Find Direction and Step Into Your Assignment

"Where are you going right now? What is the assignment I gave you for this season? Refocus and find your direction," I heard the Lord say next.

"Refocus and finish well" was the challenge presented to me that day. What has the Lord assigned to you? Often, as we wait for a promise to come, discouragement steps in and tries to get us distracted and off course. When Nehemiah was so close to finishing the construction of the wall, distraction tried to pull him away. His response is awesome: "I can't come meet you right now. I have to finish what God has given me to do!"

Nehemiah recognized that it was the plan of the enemy to set him off course and also do him harm. When you are close to finishing or walking into the promises of God of your life, do not get distracted by the small assaults of the enemy. Claim this same tenacious spirit that Nehemiah carried, and keep your focus clear.

Lastly, I heard the Lord say "Declare it and declare it again."

Even when we can't see the answers to our prayers, let us pick up our faith and believe that God is a God of the impossible. He is moving, whether we can see it or not. Our prayers move the heart of God.

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Eph. 3:20-21).

5 Prophetic Revelations About God's October Surprise

10/12/2016 KEN MALONE  CHARISMA MAGAZINE

When the Lord spoke to me in August 2016 about the things that will begin to take place in October 2016, He said, "There is an October Surprise." I didn't know whether it would be good or bad.

What we have to remember about a surprise is that it is always a disclosure of things that have been hidden. The October surprise is just beginning. As it turns out it's not just one surprise but many surprises.

Below are bullet points on some good things He said would begin at Rosh Hashanah, Oct. 2, 2016:

Realignment of Relationships

The winds of apostolic change are blowing across the land and realigning you. The Lord is ready to re-position you for His kingdom harvest. Some who have been with you in the past can't go to the place God is taking you. Be willing to cut unhealthy soul ties and move forward into an ordained destiny. At Rosh Hashanah (begins Oct. 2), the Lord will unlock brand-new doors of destiny for you. Let go of your baggage. It can't go to the new place the Lord has for your destiny.

Realignment of Assignment                                                                                        

Jesus said, if it's not bearing fruit cut it off. There is a realignment of assignment that is coming to you. Take inventory of what your ministry is doing. Is it bearing fruit? If it's not bearing fruit, it's time to move on. Leave it. As we come into Rosh Hashanah (Oct. 2) the Lord is going to impart new assignments. With these new assignments will come another level of authority to accomplish His plan in the earth. Make sure that you discard old baggage and get out of baggage claim. Stop rehearsing your trauma and drama. A new, unusual and exciting assignment is coming your way. 

Realignment of Vision                                                                                                      

The Holy Spirit continues to send apostolic winds realigning your vision. How do you see? Do you see God bring a greater awakening (National Revival) into the earth or do you see it having no hope? Do you see the way heaven sees?  Heaven sees in seven dimensions, and heaven responds to what it sees (Zech. 4:10; Rev. 5:6). Align your vision with heaven and you will begin to receive heavenly results.

Doomsday preachers offer little to no hope. It's because man is reacting to what he sees in the earth rather than responding to the vision of heaven. There is hope if you begin seeing the way heaven sees. At Rosh Hashanah, the Lord will impart new vision. His vision will release heaven into Earth. Will you respond or react? Prune your negative mindset that has no faith and begin responding in faith to Christ's vision. A new vision awaits you!

Realignment of Identity                               

Holy Spirit continues to send you apostolic winds to realign you for His kingdom purpose. These winds are here to challenge your identity. Some today have a false identity and can't find their way. Those in LGBTQ community struggle with having a true identification. Some within the church have found their identity in pastors, programs, function and ministry. The co-dependency between ministers and sheep has created identification dysfunction. You're so busy with things you haven't found the "One Thing" (Ps. 27:4).

Your distinction can only be found in Christ. Realignment of your identity is essential in order for you to fulfill His destiny in your life. At Rosh Hashanah, a huge reset began to take place. Be ready, forsake your former identity and go after Him, and you will be found in Him (Phil. 3:9). As you go after Him, you will take on His character. In Him I live and move, and have my being (Acts 17:28).

Realignment of Paradigms

The winds of apostolic change continue to blow in your life. These winds are blowing against the paradigms that keep you from moving forward into your God inheritance. Think differently! When John the Baptist and Jesus said, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand," they were saying, "Think differently because the kingdom of heaven is here." Beginning at Rosh Hashanah, watch as paradigm shifts begin to take place. Think differently—heaven will open up over you and your inheritance will begin to come in. ("Repent," Greek word metanoia, means to think differently.) 

Ken Malone is being used by God to mobilize the body of Christ throughout Florida and the nation. After being a pastor for 24 years, Ken has recently stepped down from a pastoral position. This has allowed God to launch Ken into his apostolic role within Florida and the nation. He is an ordained minister and serves as the founder of Forerunner Ministries and serves on the board of Dutch Sheets Ministries. Ken also serves as one of the leaders of Network Ekklesia International, an Apostolic Network founded by Dutch Sheets. Ken walks in a governmental apostolic mantle that releases the body of Christ into their destiny. He also ministers with a prophetic, seer anointing which enables him to identify activate and release redemptive gifts in individuals, churches and cities.

"Your Assignment Is Alive! God Is Paving New Road Ways" - Cindy McGill

"Your Assignment Is Alive! God Is Paving New Road Ways"

Cindy McGill, Salt Lake City, UT

The Elijah List

The days ahead are exciting and we have been getting prepared to navigate them. Many people have been experiencing extremely difficult circumstances lately. Hope has dimmed and it seems, at times, it's been hard to have faith and see a bright future. The battle we all face is a spiritual one. There has been a direct attempt to "wear down the saints". There is a blueprint and pathway to know how to chart our course into this next season.

Finding Your Identity

You are bought with a price. Your value and worth are much greater than you realize. There is a purpose for you and plan for you and because of your influence, the devil has tried to sabotage your future and pollute your mind with thoughts of failure and unimportance. You must know that this is a LIE. 

The assignment you have been created for is still very much alive. God is visiting many, many people in dreams to reawaken you to your purpose and destiny.

When you get before God, ask Him to reveal you to YOU. He will tell you what you are made for, why you are placed where you are, and what His plan is for you, your family, your future and your destiny. I like a quote I heard the other day, "Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, it is not yet the end." LOVE IT.

Goodbye Depression

I saw God literally lifting depression off of people and replacing it with supernatural JOY. 

It has been a prolonged season of hope deferred that makes hearts sick. When our trust is in God, His joy becomes our strength. There is nothing too hard for Him and our lives become easier and filled with hope. He is the joy and the lifter up of our heads.

There has been a spirit of depression that has settled in over people to discourage and vaporize hope. It's a direct attempt to cause us to lose heart and give up. 

David cried out to God 

in Psalm 43:5:

Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise Him again—
My Savior and my God!

Where are we putting our trust and hope? If God cannot lie and is at work within us to will and to do of His good pleasure, then we have to reposition our hope in Him and not in our circumstances and the world around us.

"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad." Proverbs12:25 

Our hope MUST be in God and Him alone. There are specific prophetic words from God's own mouth that are getting ready to be fulfilled. He has full intention on completed what He has started.

Prayer and Houses of Prayer

God is "shopping". He is looking for people who will gather in His name and cry out to Him in prayer. When people will do this, fires will start and the wind will come and blow this small fire into a massive fire that will set fires around the surrounding regions. God has always been a fan of "humble beginnings" and this is no exception. When people are in agreement and come together in His name, He commands His blessing. Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of people, just people who can agree for His will to be done. "Four of a kind" still beats a "full house".

Houses of prayer and meeting times of unified, corporate gatherings for the purpose of prayer will cause the raging battle to cease and the atmosphere and circumstances will turn around immediately. We CANNOT navigate confidently unless we can see clearly. Without hearing clearly, we will definitely make choices that could and would hinder our process moving forward. There is a lot of information coming out from multiple sources that are generating confusion and causing us to become anxious.

Just the other day, God spoke almost in a thundering way, Philippians 4:6-7, "Be anxious for NOTHING at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

When we pray and are thankful making requests to God, PEACE is placed as a guard around our hearts. When we position ourselves before God, He literally GIVES US prayer. In other words, downloads or the things He wants us to declare – proclaim and pray, and then He causes them to happen.

Job 22:28, says, "We shall declare a thing and it shall be established." When we pray corporately, the "fog" lifts and we are able to see what is going on and the course direction we are to take. There is always an anointing on "agreement and unity", where God literally commands His blessing.

When people pray in agreement, healings happen, unresolved conflicts end, finances come, wars stop, evil backs down, people are set free from drugs, alcohol, sex, sins and any other "trap" the devil has fashioned to imprison people.

God is Financing What He Wants Done

I have said before that a huge transference of wealth is coming to those who are positioned to accomplish His purposes. 

This is not "chump change". It's millions and millions of dollars for His Kingdom. The recipients of this kind of wealth have already been through the test of the "rich young ruler" and have not set their hearts on money. Psalm 62:10says, "If riches increase, don't set your heart on them." This is a warning so that the financial provision coming to God's people is not squandered but is given to the building of the Kingdom.

Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Japan

There is HUGE spotlight over the Hawaiian Islands to be a "refueling station" for the south pacific and Asia. God has seemingly marked this place to pour out His Spirit in the next little while. There is a rekindling of the spark of His Spirit which will ignite the whole region. 

Australia and New Zealand are going to be hosts of a massive wave of His Spirit that will sweep all around the world. Japan is a going to experience a "volcanic" eruption of God's Spirit that will transform that place, and waves will go out from there. What exciting days.

Porn No More – Women Are Arising

God is invading this hideous industry. There are teams being raised up to go right into that arena and speak to the hearts of those deceived and caught up in this terribly destructive lifestyle. I saw multitudes of women who are willing to go into this field and be a "mom" to young women who need a mom. It is like an underground stream that will erode away at the "foundation" of this industry.

In the five years our teams have been taking teams into the adult industry, we have seen amazing favor from God on our efforts and He has opened the door for us to speak into the lives of these young people who have been so deceived and persuaded by money and "fame". When the truth about who they really are comes out, whether by interpreting a dream or giving a "spot on" word, their whole countenance changes and the "Truth" reveals a lie. We are watching as these girls make decisions to disconnect from this lifestyle and find their true life path as Jesus picks them up out of the dirt and gives them new life.

God is paving new roadways and we are entering into some of the greatest days of Supernatural expressions we have ever seen. 

Miracles will flow easily as God is advancing His Kingdom in this earth and many will come to His light as we go out into places we are sent and to be His mouthpiece to a very dark and desperate world.

You Never Know Who - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

You Never Know Who

by Steve Martin

“In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, He brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation—an aroma redolent with life.” (2 Corinthians 2:14-16 The Message)

Every weekday for the past two years I’d arrive at the office building elevators around 6:40 am. The security person sitting at the front desk would give a quick greeting, and I’d greet them back, hit the “Up” button for the elevator,  and ride to the 16^th floor above Tryon Street in Charlotte’s center city (uptown area). I didn’t think much about it in greeting them. I try to at least say hi to people as I walk by.

Near the end of 2013, a new guy on the 3^rd shift was at the front desk. He said he started at 10 pm and left at 7 am each morning, Tuesday through Friday. My guess he was 65 years or more in age. With his black rimmed glasses, color coordinated nicely with his short, gray beard, along with his matching gray hair and honest face, he reminded me of a good grandpa. As I got to know him in the following months, he was - a good grandpa to his eight year old granddaughter in town.

Mike and I would often talk about the weather, what was happening uptown that week, being that was what I had going while working with Charlotte Center City Partners, and of course, books. He would let me know what he was reading, and then I started telling him what I was writing. In time I helped add to his library, giving him copies of the first two books I had authored and published, Ahava Love Letters and The Promise.

In time, he started asking me questions about messages I had written in the Ahava Love Letters. I was glad to share further on my beliefs, the Lord’s work in my life, and the path we each had gone on in our lives up to this point. We got to know each other a little bit more as we talked each day.

In late February of 2014 he surprised me, when I stopped again for a brief conversation.  

That day he asked, “How long do you expect to be here?”

I was a bit surprised, as I hadn’t said anything to him about my future plans. My response, “As long as the Lord has me on assignment here.” And then I asked him, “Why do you ask?”

“Well, in your book it seems that you are not expecting this job to be where you will retire.”

“No, it is not,” I said. “In fact, when I left my previous job as USA Director of Vision For Israel in July of 2010, to start our own ministry, that was what I had expected to be doing the rest of my life. And I only went back to an accounting job to pay the monthly bills, as the newborn ministry got on its feet. I am here until I have completed this assignment the Lord has me on also.”

“And what is that?” he slowly asked.

“To pay the bills,” I repeated, “but more importantly to affect the lives of the people I work with here,” I stated.

“Well”, he again spoke, more slowly than before, “when you came in for work the other day, I was going to say something to you further, but you went up the elevator faster than I was hoping. I wanted to tell you that, as in most lives, there are ups and downs (as he made the motion with his hand of a straight line going up at a 90 degree angle, and then brought his hand back down at a 90 degree angle), and then there are times in your life when there are hills and valleys (moving his right hand up and down, forming curves you’d associate as in an air drawing of hills and valleys.) Sometimes you meet people that touch your life at the top of the hill. You are one of those persons in my life.”

Wow, I thought to myself, and before I looked too surprised, I said, “Thank you Mike. That is very nice of you.”

Before I started stammering further over my words, totally not expecting this from him, I quickly added, “When you get done with reading my book you have now, let me know. I will give you the next one.”

He said, “Yes.”

So I walked over to the elevators, and again hit the button to go to the 16^th floor. As my body was rising up, my spirit was rising too. Delighted to have imparted a piece of the Lord’s heart to Mike, I continued the upward journey.

“Thank you Lord” were the words I spoke to Him.

Now Think On This #121 “You Never Know Who”   by Steve Martin

Assignment Not Yet Done - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Assignment Not Yet Done

by Steve Martin

 “…since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;” (Acts 17:25-28 NASU)

The Lord speaks to you unexpected sometimes. I think He waits to get a word in when there is a break in the music we have on the radio or in our ear; when the conversation between people takes a pause; or when the complaint we just “voiced” in our thoughts has died done for a minute. That can be a good time for Him to interrupt our train of thought.

And so it was, driving home from work on a Tuesday late afternoon. I know I was asking, wondering, begging and complaining – all in my head of course, “When will this job be done?”

I continued maneuvering around the heavy traffic, Jeff Gordon #24 NASCAR style of course, and listening to the CD in the car. Mostly I was day dreamingly complaining. I am sure you have done that too.

“When can I get on with what I really think I should be during in this time of my life?” I was murmuring again in my thought pattern. I wasn’t really expecting an answer. I was just wanting it to be known. To the Lord, of course, in case He had forgotten of my situation these past months.

“When your assignment is done,” came the unexpected reply.

I shut my thoughts up immediately. Not only had He, in that brief statement, told me when the time would be completed, but even gave me the way to move on. When I had completed the assignment He had given me to complete on this job, He would direct me to the next one. Thus I could rest in that, be assured of that, and get on doing what I was called to do while there.

His word to me was “as clear as a bell”, as a former boss would say after making his point.

Often in these writings, believing it is quite so, I share the fact that we each have specific purposes to fulfill in this life, according to the wise plans of God the Father. Out of His infinite wisdom and knowledge, being Omniscient (all knowing) and Omnipotent (all powerful), His ways are above our ways. That in itself can give us peace, knowing He is always in control.

"...appointed times and the 

boundaries of their habitation."

Having a basic understanding of our purpose and function, as part of the Body of Messiah, and using our gifts and talents faithfully in that purpose, will enable us to know the current assignment the Teacher has given. Then we can do it to the best of our ability, complete it, and move on to the next one.

When we have completed all the assignments He has put in our personal life book, then we will have completed the race, and will receive the eternal reward He promises to give to us.

Now think on this.

"I Want You to Write a Large Future" - for 2014 - Garris Elkins (The Elijah List)

Garris Elkins:

"I Want You to Write a Large Future"

A Clean Sheet

Recently I was teaching in a training school for emerging leaders in California. During a question and answer session someone asked me, "What are you seeing for the year 2014?"

I responded to the question by saying that at the end of each year, I would normally ask and wait concerning a word from the Lord for the upcoming year. I did not, however, have a specific word at that time. As I was responding to the question, the Lord gave me a picture.

I saw an immense sheet of paper that covered a huge tabletop. The sheet was so large it extended out to the edge of the visible horizon line where it disappeared. The paper was brilliant white. Nothing was written on the paper – it was a clean sheet.

The next day, after returning home from the ministry trip, the image came to me once again. This time I saw a large pen – one of those antique, feathered writing pens – it descended down into the image and rested just above the surface of the unmarked sheet of paper. As the pen was suspended over the paper the Lord began to speak to me.

"I Want You to Write a Large Future"

"I want you to write something new. I did not just erase words from the past. Rather, I have provided a new place for you to write a fresh script for your life. This is something new I am inviting you to write.

"This is your assignment. I want you to write a large future – a future that may seem presumptive at first. I give you permission to presume on My goodness.

"Write like a person who has discovered My love for the first time. I want you to write in excitement without punctuation. I want your writing to be breathless with anticipation and expectation – a writing that flows from an increasing excitement at what might be.

"I promised in My Word to give you the desires of your heart. 

I instructed David to write the words, 'Delight yourself in Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.' I am telling you to delight yourself in Me as you write and I will give you the desires of your heart.

"As you write, your inspiration will come from the increasing level of your delight in Me. Write as a lover would write from the depths of a shared passion. Write from your delight in Me and let your passion for Me fuel your text."

When the Lord finished speaking, the pen was still suspended above the sheet of paper. I sensed the pen was waiting for a hand to reach out and take it and begin writing.

Our Heart's Desire is Purified When We First Delight in Him

God has provided us with prophetic paper, pen and ink. He wants us to believe He is comfortable with His children writing out a new future as He watches. Our delighting in the Lord protects what will be written. Our heart's desire is purified when we first delight in Him. Our delighting in God must precede our desire for a new future if our desire is to remain pure. 

Pick up the pen and begin to write:

• Write a new future for your family.

• Write a new future for your health.

• Write a new future for your church.

• Write a new future for your finances.

• Write a new future for your nation.

• Write a new future for your dream.

• Write a new future for your ministry.

• Write a new future for your city.

Write! Write! 

Write with a delight in God's goodness. 

The words you write will invite the promises of God to come and join the text of your future. This new script will become the story of a new chapter in your life that is about to unfold in 2014.

“Your Assignment” - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)

                 

          “Your Assignment” 

“and the young man did not put off doing what was asked of him, even though he was the most respected member of his father’s family, because he so much wanted Ya‘akov’ s daughter.” Genesis 34:19 

(CJB – Complete Jewish Bible)

Dear family of friends,

Lance Wallnau has a unique way of sharing truth in a way that makes sense. When he speaks, I listen. Others do too.

He reminds me of how Bob Mumford taught God’s Word in the 1970’s and onward, for those who know Bob and experienced his words coming at you. Both he and Lance have such practical ways of delivery that I have come to really appreciate. If you haven’t caught my recommendation already of these two, I do encourage you to!

In a message I heard at a KBA gathering (Kingdom Business Association) at the MorningStar/Heritage International Ministries location in 2013, Lance spoke on our assignments as individuals. As I listened again to his heart stirring message, on the CD driving into uptown Charlotte to my accounting job, a crisp fall Monday morning at 6:15 am, the Lord continued to give clarity to my new assignment. His ongoing encouragement caused me to share this Ahava Love Letter with you.

Do you know your assignment?

Each one of us has been given a purpose, a plan, a gifting which fits together with the Lord’s purposes and plans of those He connects us with. Your “talents” and skills acquired, which are unique in the fact that there is no one else exactly like you, are given to fulfill His perfect plan in the nations.

Do you know what they are? Have you asked Him lately?

Over a period of two decades (literally – no “evangelistically” speaking here) I have received many prophetic words about what the Lord has called me to do. For about 30 of those years I literally denied it, thinking “That is not me.” My job and training had put me in one sector of the business/ministry realm, which I was at least somewhat comfortable in. (In case you are wondering, I was the Director/Administrator of three international ministries for a period of 24 years total. Administration, finances and conferences were my thing.) The prophetic words which I actually despised hearing always told me, “You are a teacher.”

In my denial of not being that, for I wasn’t a real student of the Bible, hadn’t memorized Scripture chapters over my growing years, let alone a lot of single verses, my brain thoughts convinced me that the job I was doing was it for the rest of my life. Even if I was not satisfied and fully fulfilled in doing that.

When I finally “Got it” in the heart, the teaching aspect of my calling, my assignment, started to blossom. I didn’t have to be the “Derek Prince” or the “A.W.Tozer”, or even a “Charles Spurgeon” in my lifetime. I could be me, just as the Father of All created me to be. And so my teaching gift is mostly that of sharing life’s experiences, and encouraging you to do the same in your gifting.

Our assignment here on this planet is simple. Do what the Father has put in your heart to do. You don’t have to be the rocket scientist if you are the graphic artist. Be the graphic artist you have been born to do to your fullest! Give it all you got, and learn more in the giving! Many will be blessed in your fruitful contribution to the Body of Christ, along with the nations who long to see His Creative working in their own lives.

If you are not sure yet of your assignment, your calling, your purpose, don’t be discouraged. The Lord has so much love for you that as you seek Him, He will reveal it to you. Walk in that which you know to do already. Be obedient in hearing His voice - in your prayer time, as you do your daily job, as you sleep at night and He speaks to you in dreams. Be encouraged that He wants to show you far more than we even think or know. He is the Faithful One. His fullness of faith will become yours.

Believe me, denial in your walk may last a while, but if your heart is to follow after the Lord Jesus with all your heart, His plan and purposes will be revealed to you.

And all of us will be on the receiving end of you walking in your assignment! Thanks!

Ahava to my family of friends,

Steve Martin
