I HAD A DREAM AND HEARD THE LORD SAY “I AM ABOUT TO DEAL WITH AND BREAK THE SPIRIT OF RELIGION” – Lana Vawser Ministries

April 13, 2020 New post on Lana Vawser Ministries

I HAD A DREAM AND HEARD THE LORD SAY “I AM ABOUT TO DEAL WITH AND BREAK THE SPIRIT OF RELIGION” by Lana Vawser Ministries I had a dream recently and I heard the Lord saying over and over “I am about to deal with and break the spirit of religion.” God is going to deal with the religious spirit in this new era in ways we have never seen. I still remember the day many years ago when the Lord whispered to me “A mighty move of My Spirit is coming and if you do not have eyes to see and ears to hear and live close to My heart you will be greatly offended by the move of My Spirit” Immediately I was taken back to story after story in the Gospels where there Pharisees were so offended by Jesus and by His acts. The pride that was carried by the Pharisees when Jesus walked the earth is the same pride that God is dealing with in the Church right now and it has only just begun. The Lord is cleaning house. His love is so ferocious and so deep for the world and for His Bride, that He is bringing a deep purification to His Church. My friend Anita Alexander had an encounter with the Lord where she heard the Lord say “I love the world enough to deal with My house” and that’s exactly where we are now. The WAY that the Lord is going to move is going to shake the religious mindsets and expose the spirit of religion in the Church in a way we have never seen. The Lord’s heart in shaking up His house in such intense ways in this new era is to bring forth His true ecclesia and to see His people walk in humility and purity before Him and carry His Spirit.’ ‘There is going to be great demonstrations of offense in the way the Lord is going to move, where He will move, how He will move and those areas of offense will expose the religious spirit but He is about to deal with it and break it. The dealings of the Lord to bring down this religious spirit and expose it is going to be intense and there may be mess in the shaking but the Lord is going to bring forth healing to His bride, He is going to bring forth freedom in His Bride, He is going to bring total reformation to His Church. The Lord has had me in Luke 7:36-50 so much lately, the story of the woman who anointed the feet of Jesus. There is MUCH in this story that the Lord is revealing for the era we have entered that I will be sharing over the coming months but there will be radical demonstrations of worship, a deeper level of worship than we have ever entered and encounter with the Lord and WHO the Lord will use and the WAY we see Him move in this era that will OFFEND if you do not have eyes to see and ears to hear. There is a sound of worship, adoration and “undignified” expression of love for Jesus that is going to be seen in the Church and in the harvest coming in, in this new era that if we don’t carry the heart of God and know Him well, could find the people of God criticising or standing against a move of God and that is not a place we want to be. This deep undignified worship of Jesus that doesn’t care what others think or are caged by the fear of man, will arise in the earth like never before, it will be so undignified that religious mindsets and where the religious spirit resides will find it offensive. (2 Samuel 6:14-22) This will be key in the Church moving out of Saul’s house and the David’s arising in the earth. The Church will transition into a deep place of worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)The move of God that’s coming and the fear of the Lord being restored to the Church is going to expose the religious spirit and the pride of man, and bring forth such a beautiful work of His Spirit bringing cleansing and purification for a greater positioning of Isaiah 60. There’s such a deep invitation into His heart right now, deeper than ever to hear His heartbeat, hear His voice and see and hear as He sees. God is dealing with this spirit of religion, He is dealing with elitism, and with pride. He is thundering to His people that humility is the key. “He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you Except to be just, and to love [and to diligently practice] kindness (compassion), And to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]?” (Micah 6:8 – AMP) One of the ways God is going to deal with the spirit of religion is He is going to DISRUPT and INTERRUPT in this new era and He is going to move in such a powerful way, He is going to demonstrate that He is the God who cannot be controlled or contained. He is going to raise up the true ecclesia. He is going to raise up the Church in ways we have never seen. He is truly looking for those who truly love Him and follow Him. He is bringing His people into freedom. He is bringing His Church into freedom. Where the religious spirit has contained, suffocated and killed there is a dealing of the Lord upon that religious spirit. There is a great urgency of the hour as we move further into this new era that we embrace the move of God whatever it looks like, to live so close to His heart that we recognise Him and His move even if/when it looks different to what we expect and not be offended or kill a move of God because it doesn’t fit into our box. There has been a civil war in the Church and it will flare up louder than ever as God deals with this spirit of religion in this new era, but know in the ‘noise’ when it happens, that there is a mass deliverance upon the Church and the sound of freedom will resound and as the shaking and deconstruction happens, as we transition into the new thing God is doing and going to do, the true ecclesia is going to arise in unity (John 17) strength, humility, boldness and power. In the deep dealing of this religious spirit in the Church by the hand of God, the true Bride will arise in His love and power and shine in the earth like she has never shone before.

When You Invest in This Character Trait, You Reap a Bounty of Jesus' Presence

1/12/2019 RABBI ERIC TOKAJER  CHARISMA NEWS

Recently, I was at an airport and watched with a remembering smile as a young person made the effort to walk up the down escalator. It immediately brought two memories to my mind. The first was when I was a young child and, to the consternation of my mother, I walked up the down escalator every time I found one. The second memory was of a statement made by one of my first biblical teachers who say that rising in our faith was like taking an escalator ride in which the lower you went (humility), the higher you rose spiritually.

In other words, if you want to rise, as Luke 4:11 say, "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Before ruin a person's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

The idea that when we become lower, G-D raises us up higher is not the only directional reversal that we find in the Scriptures. However, one of them only becomes clear when we look at the text in the original language. Let's look at Exodus 9:1 (TLV): "Then Adonai said to Moses, 'Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him: This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let My people go, so they may serve Me."'"

In this text we see G-D's instructions to Moses to, 'Go in to Pharaoh." The Hebrew word "go" is "bo." This word, however, means both to "go" and to "come." One good example of the use of this word can be found in the well-known Messianic Song by Paul Wilbur entitled "Bo Ruach Elohim" which means "Come Spirit of G-D." I know that at this point I have not yet made my point. So let me continue. In this verse, G-D was commissioning Moses to go and get His people out of Egypt. Moses was told to "go," yet the truth is that by Moses going to Egypt, Moses was not getting closer to Pharaoh. In reality, Moses was getting closer to G-D. Moses may have left the wilderness and traveled to the throne room of Egypt, but spiritually he left the wilderness and traveled to the throne room of G-D.

You may wonder what this has to do with us as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) today. The truth is it is extremely important to us today. Just think about Matthew 28:19, known as the Great Commission:

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh" (Matt. 28:19, TLV).

Notice that these words spoken by Yeshua to His disciples are very similar to the commission that G-D spoke to Moses. We are told to "go" and make disciples. Just as in the instructions to Moses, if we want to be drawn nearer to G-D, the way to "come" into His presence is to "go" and make disciples. When our efforts are invested in humility, we will be elevated, and when our efforts are invested in "Going into all the world to preach the Good News," we will find ourselves coming into His presence.

Joey LeTourneau: "The Meek and Mighty Are Coming!" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Joey LeTourneau: "The Meek and Mighty Are Coming!"

THE ELIJAH LIST Oct 30, 2017

     From the desk of Steve Shultz:

This might seem like an oxymoron statement: "The meek and mighty are coming." But that is exactly who God is releasing in this day...and I'd say this word by Joey LeTourneau is spot on!

So many of you will be able to relate to this article and I can just hear you saying even now, "That's me! He's talking about me!" AND yes, he is as Joey shares here:

These meek and mighty ones have not built of their own strength, but they have persevered, trusting God, to establish and finish promises that only He can—all the while living in humble dependence upon His Word, both written and fresh. It is literally what they have lived off of in the fields and caves while waiting for now.

Amen to that. To all you meek AND mighty ones...it's your time! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"The Meek and Mighty Are Coming!"

Joey LeTourneau, Coarsegold, CA

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5)

There are so many kings who have sat at the Lord's table, that much of the world and even the Church would not recognize them as kings. Just like Samuel called for David from the fields, God is calling a company of the meek and mighty to come forth now to take their inheritance of the earth, and release the Kingdom they've been humbly and powerfully trained in from the inside out. These kings are needed to arise and walk in their humble authority. The inheritance of these meek and mighty gives them access in the world to give it the best foot-washing creation has ever known outside of Jesus Himself!

Meek is not weakness. It is humility, dependence on a greater power, self-discipline, and a kind and controlled strength that has been reserved until now. Creation is waiting to recognize the voice of these meek and mighty ones asking, "When will they arise?"

"We can't despise these moments in each step we are following the Spirit which may feel so small and misunderstood."

These meek and mighty ones have not built of their own strength, but they have persevered, trusting God, to establish and finish promises that only He can—all the while living in humble dependence upon His Word, both written and fresh. It is literally what they have lived off of in the fields and caves while waiting for now.

Zerubbabel's Testimony

"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 4:6)

"Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!'"(Zechariah 4:7)

"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands shall also finish it." (Zechariah 4:9)

Zerubbabel was worn and weary. He had laid the foundation of his calling with the temple, but was about to give in to discouragement. In my Bible's notes, it highlights how Zerubbabel was to finish his calling without putting trust in the resources, ways, strength or numbers of man. Rather, God encourages him, and us, that the Spirit of God will accomplish this and that it will not go unfinished. Every mountain will be moved and divine grace is declared over it, all the grace necessary for completion. God was saying, "I will complete this through you not by your strength, but because you have learned to depend on Mine."

These meek and mighty are ones who have learned to be led by the Spirit, even when it's hard and doesn't make sense, and trusting God rather than results or man's ways. These tested ones are meek and mighty because they have learned to rejoice in their weakness, knowing that only His grace is sufficient enough to perfect what concerns them, because His strength is made most perfect in their weakness, and they are okay with that (2 Cor. 12:9). (Photo via freeimages)

Prophetic exhortation: Come forward you meek and mighty ones, and be who God has made you to be without reservation! God and all creation offer you this invitation. The world needs the uncompromising, humble authority of your voice, your heart and your service! Pastor Bill Johnson says it best: "Rule with the heart of a servant, serve with the heart of a king." Now is not the time to retreat because of opposition or discouragement. Now is the time to let the meekness in you, which the world has called weakness, become a most timely, redemptive strength.

Fathering Small Beginnings: The "Other" Joseph

"Do not despise the day of small beginnings." (Zechariah 4:10)

There are so many new beginnings that are like a shoot springing forth, out of the ground, across the earth. They are now small, but they are what you and all of creation have been waiting for.

The Son was born in Bethlehem, in a manger nonetheless. For the Father, this huge, hidden event was the moment His family's eternal hope had finally come to life. Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem was truly the smallest of beginnings, a modest family house to be born into to say the least. Yet it is also what God's whole house—and family—was built upon.

The Messiah had to be born in a manger before the government could be seen upon His shoulders, and it took a faithful few who trusted God's voice, beyond their own ways or understanding, to birth such to life. As you know, it's incredibly challenging to trust through the unseen, let alone when the unseen might not make a lot of earthly sense. When the unseen and misunderstood beginning God directs you toward is birthed in such a small way, well, it requires a lot of faith and patience for all involved to see it through.

"Come forward you meek and mighty ones, and be who God has made you to be without reservation!"

The manger brings the Father, and all of Heaven for that matter, so much joy! He has always worked through manger strategies. It's just that few that recognize the packaging that so many of God's greatest moves come hidden within. Most want to move into a fully renovated home rather than trust the Father through every step of His building process. Most don't want to start with a baby swaddled and surrounded in hay. The smells around Him didn't say "Christ" in human language, but all of creation knew that the Son they were waiting for had been born!

The "Other" Joseph

Can you imagine the responsibility of "fathering" Jesus during those early, intense years and decisions? We so often talk about Joseph of the Old Testament, and for good reason. But it's not often enough that we recognize the inner depths of surrender and strength it took to navigate the narrow path Joseph had to while "fathering" Jesus.

Joseph stepped beyond the fear of man to steward the unlikely and the misunderstood. Joseph led his young, uncommon family through the smallest beginning of impossible conception, through the most hidden baby shower or launch party the world has ever known—which happened in a manger.

He led them from one land to another, meeting with angels and listening to the Lord amid the pressures of murderous threats and the judgments of man. Joseph as a father to Yeshua was perhaps the greatest steward the world has ever known—not just through his faithful protection of Mary and Jesus, but the forward path he pioneered through his dependence on God. Joseph was a man, a husband, and a father who didn't feel the need to prove anything to the world. He was meek, mighty and surrendered to the vision of the tiniest seed that would one day become the Tree of Life for us all. Joseph is a "father" we must learn from and lead like in the season and path before us.

Your Small Beginning

Right now, many, many people have these manger-like situations being used to birth new, small beginnings that all of Heaven is hopeful for. Most of those small beginnings that those like you are carrying don't have fanfare or a big following, just a few shepherds and wise men sent your way occasionally for encouragement to help see it through. (Photo via Pixabay)

We can't despise these moments in each step we are following the Spirit which may feel so small and misunderstood. Like Joseph and Mary, we are merely stewarding through absolute surrender, faithful obedience, and a passion for the Lord that won't be compromised. What looks like a baby surrounded by hay in the wilderness might actually be a hope that carries the government of the Father's Kingdom family to the world.

"...And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
