What Every Mom Can Learn From Moses

10/7/2015 MEGAN BREEDLOVE  charisma magazine

You would think that of all the people depicted in the Bible, the moms would be the ones who could best understand our frustrations as mothers. That's probably why there are so many books titled something like, "Moms of the Bible." We're supposed to read about moms and learn from them. Be inspired by them, even.

All of that is well and good. But lately, I've come to think that the biblical personage who could best understand a mom's frustration is Moses.

Moses was a father, but not a mother. He wasn't even a woman. How could he be the one who best understands moms?

Consider his words to God for yourself, and see whether you agree that he understands:

"Why have You hurt Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You lay the burden of all this people on me? Have I conceived all this people? Have I given them birth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse bears the nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers? Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep to me, saying, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.' I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. If You do this to me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your eyes, and do not let me see my misery" (Num. 11:11-15).

I kid you not! That's what Moses said. (You can look up the full passage in Numbers 11.)

Yet we also know that Moses is the only human being ever to have seen God's face (see Ex. 33:11 below).

That means there is hope for you and me, moms. We don't have to be some kind of superspiritual Christian in order to have a close relationship with God. Intimacy with Him is possible for anyone who desires it—even for us!

I'm not saying that our emotions are always righteous (far from it!). What I'm saying is that if we do what Moses did, we can still have precious intimacy with God, even though we're not perfect.

What did Moses do? He talked to God about what he thought and how he felt. He didn't just stuff his feelings down, or try to deal with them in his own strength. He admitted he needed God, and he begged God for help.

But Moses didn't just come to God when he needed something. He came to God often. He loved God with his whole heart. He maintained that relationship all the time, not just when he wanted to ask God to do the genie thing and pop out of a bottle and rescue him.

Moms, did you realize you can bring your thoughts, emotions and frustrations to God? Moses did, and God didn't zap him to death. Instead, He helped him. God's not going to zap you either when you come before Him honestly and pour out your heart. He will help you—not condemn you.

So take a cue from Moses. Seek a relationship with Him always, even when things are going well. And when something comes up, admit what you think and how you feel and pour your heart out to God.

Doing so won't prevent you from experiencing intimacy with Him. In fact, it's necessary in order for intimacy to happen. You have to share your heart.

Exodus 33:11 says, "The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When he returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent."

God Is Bringing Divine Reconnections Full Circle in This Hour

8/23/2015 JENNIFER LECLAIRE  charisma news

Divine connections. We all want them. Many of us pray for them. We certainly hear a lot of prophecies about them. Hopefully, you've had a few along your narrow path.

Divine connections—those God-breathed relationships that seemingly come out of nowhere and have the potential to radically impact your life—are vital to fulfilling Father's call on your life. To be sure, these relationships can be absolutely life changing, even if they are only seasonal in intensity.

Divine connections are Scriptural and necessary. Moses and Joshua had a divine connection. Samuel and David had a divine connection. Elijah and Elisha had a divine connection. Paul and Timothy had a divine connection. In each case, we see destiny arising from those relationships. Joshua took the Promised Land baton from Moses. Samuel anointed David as king. Elisha grabbed Elijah's mantle. And Timothy carried on Paul's gospel mission.

Sudden Divine Reconnections

I'm grateful for the many divine connections God has brought into my life. I've been blessed with many godly relationships that have strengthened me, opened doors for me and imparted wisdom that would have otherwise taken me decades to glean. Over the last year, though, God has put an emphasis on divine reconnections in my life that have been as powerful as any divine connection I've ever experienced.

JOIN JENNIFER ON FACEBOOK FOR SPIRITUAL COMMENTARY AND ENCOURAGEMENT. CLICK HERE. 

Indeed, I've seen three especially significant divine reconnections that have brought spiritual increase into my life I wasn't expecting and could never have walked into on my own two feet. One of them was with Ryan LeStrange, with whom I co-founded awakeningtv.com and my now fellow New Breed Revival Network leader. After a decade, we reconnected about a year ago and it's been explosive.

Another divine reconnection was with Rich and Dottie Kane of the Healing Rooms Ministries of South Florida. They have stood with me, walked by me and helped me launch Awakening Healing Rooms at the Awakening House of Prayer in Hollywood, Florida. During the training session, a woman came in with terminal cancer seeking prayer. We prayed for her, the power of God overtook her, and the doctors could not explain how her cancer markers dropped from 16 to 1.5. It was God—and through a divine reconnection.

Divine reconnections are what I call a "full circle experience." Dutch Sheets has a strong message on this topic of coming full circle. In this revelation, he explains when you come full circle in God you come up to a higher level. I'm not doing the teaching justice in this small snippet, so I encourage you to click the link and listen to the entire word. My point is that divine reconnections are relationships that come full circle—at a higher level.

Reconciling Divine Relationships

For all the divine connections I see in the Bible, I also see powerful divine reconnections or full circle relationships in Scripture that reveal God's redemptive, reconciliatory power.

One of the most powerful divine reconnections is Paul's relationship with John Mark. When Saul and Barnabas set out to the mission field they took young John Mark with them (see Acts 12:12). For whatever reason (likely connected to the spiritual warfare that raged against Paul's ministry) John Mark abandoned the mission (see Acts 13:13-14).

Later, Saul and Barnabas split because Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them but Paul thought it was better not to take him since he bailed the first time around. But God brought the relationship full circle. In one of Paul's last letters from prison he mentioned John Mark, telling his spiritual son Timothy to "get Mark, and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry (2 Tim. 4:11).

Lot also experienced a divine reconnection with Abraham that may have saved his life. Lot and his family were taken captive by five kings (see Gen. 14:8-12). When Abraham heard it, he gathered 318 men from his household and set out to rescue Lot—and succeeded. Although they did not continue walking together as they had before Lot chose to dwell in Sodom, it was a powerful, divine reconnection.

Just like divine connections, you can't make divine reconnections happen. That's part of the reason they are called divine. It is God's doing in His way and with His timing. When they do come, full circle relationships manifest in His season and for His reason. I believe in this season God is bringing forth many divine reconnections and also breathing new life into established relationships so we can run swiftly into His purposes and redeem the time because the days are evil.

"Contend for Your Breakthrough" by Doug Addison

Prophetic Word: "Contend for Your Breakthrough"

Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA

The Elijah List

Forerunners are Emerging

Don't be alarmed by all the disasters and unrest in the world. This is a time to stay at peace and stay on course with what God is revealing to you. The turmoil is birth pains of something new from God that is now emerging.

God is raising many people up as forerunners to the new movement that is upon us. We are called to be "new wineskin" Believers that will be willing to love people and not judge them. This new move of God that is upon us is a release of supernatural love and mercy.

Relationships Restored

In January 2015, I released a prophetic word for the year 2015. This is what God spoke to me about the month of May: 

"God is going to begin to accelerate things. Just as May is the fifth month, so it will be a time of a supernatural release of grace [five is symbolic of grace]. 

The spirit and ministry of reconciliation will be released and relationships will be restored. This will happen even with your own relationship with God as He reveals Himself as a Father to you.There will be a deep mending of hidden hopelessness and building of a greater trust in you." (Photo via Pixabay)

I responded to this in my own life by reaching out to five people and asking forgiveness. I invite you to try this as well. In the season we are now in, it is important to keep the spiritual atmosphere clear. 

God is in the business of reconciling people, and we have to embrace people who are different than us as well as those that we have disagreements with. 2 Corinthians 5:19 NIV ...God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Get Ready for Things to Move Fast

Expect fast movement, realigning, and relocation. Some people will need to move to new jobs or associations to advance. This is not just for physical moving but for all sorts of different areas of life. Sudden movement, quick advancement, and realignment will be the result of new assignments coming to people.

The purpose behind this is to get you in the right place at the right time. There have been people in our old season that might not recognize the advancement you are making. We can sometimes be held back by not moving forward.

Contending for Your Breakthrough

I have been prophesying this: This is a season of time that you can recover things that were stolen or lost over the past seven years or more. You have to press in and contend for it!

I recommend reading 1 Samuel 30 where David had lost everything and his followers were ready to kill him.

In the midst of his distress, he inquired of God and got a strategy (verse 7). He was able to recover his losses, and in chapter 31 his life destiny radically shifted. He went from running from the enemy to ruling as King of Israel. But it was not without a battle! (Photo via Freeimages)

This is a prophetic word for now: Inquire of God and get your strategy to break through.I was healed of Huntington's chorea and Lyme Disease as well as several other things that have come against me. To be honest, I did not feel like I could go on one more day. But like David, I inquired of God and got a strategy. From there I took radical steps that eventually turned things around.

I just released a new blog on how I inquired of the Lord and got out of a major amount of debt and received several major healings. You can read it here: Strategies to Get Healed and Out of Debt.

"Judgments Make Things Slippery" Dream

I had a dream that I was trying to walk up a ramp with others to get to a new level. As we all tried to move forward, we kept slipping backward. God spoke to me in the dream that judgments against other people will prevent us from getting to the next level. I woke up repenting for any judgments I might have. I also knew that this is a word for the greater Church.

Matthew 7:1-2 NIV (Jesus said), "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

If you judge other people and you yourself have the same sin in your life, then you will begin to lose your authority. But if you extend grace and love to others, you will begin to experience a new level of freedom. (Photo via Pixabay)

You don't have to agree with a person or their lifestyle, but we are required to love. There is a move of God coming in those that we have judged. We need to repent of judgments so that we can minister to others with a pure heart. Because David extended grace and spared King Saul's life, it set him up to later receive grace from God when he needed it during his own difficult times.

Get Out of Solitary Confinement

I released a prophetic word recently about people being under "House of God arrest." This is similar to house arrest – i.e. because of accusations you have been limited in your calling. God is breaking that off.

But as a result of their house arrest season, many people have been in solitary confinement. God is calling those who have been in isolation to come out. Many of you were wounded and rejected, and you recoiled. It is time to come out and experience a new level of healing and restoration.

Rise Above

The prophetic word I released for 2015 is that this is the year of the "open door in Heaven." God showed me Revelation 4:1, that we need to "come up here, and I will show you the things that are about to take place." (Photo via Pixabay)

We need to rise above our current trials and situations and gain God's perspective. We have had to battle the continual attacks of the enemy for the past few years, but we will not back down.

Galatians 6:9 NIV Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Let's agree in prayer together for our breakthrough strategy.

Blessings,

Sharing Love From Sweden - "We Need Time With God" - Eva Haglund

WE NEED TIME WITH GOD

Eva Haglund

Sweden

There are many things in the Body of Christ that can become more important than our relationship with Yeshua (Jesus).

Evangelists can be so busy reaching the world that they forget that the relationship with Jesus is most important and that it ought to go hand in hand with fellowship and friendship with Christians.  The relationship with Jesus ought to be first in our lives - not what we do for Him but with Him as a person. 

Yeshua wants to be our Friend in our daily life and He wants to be first in our lives -not the things we do. If people understand the importance of the relationship with Yeshua, then they can more easily understand worship because it has to do with relationship. Lift Him up in worship and thanksgiving. When He is the center in worship then God's presence can come.

Christians can be so stressed that we have no time to sit at Yeshua's feet and listen to Him. Take time with the Word and see Him as a person first, one that you can have a relationship with.

In Luke 10:38-42 we  read about when Yeshua talked with Martha, He had her take the time to sit at His feet. There are leaders who are nearly never at home. This is not from God. It is the enemy who brings stress. How can I have a deep relation with God if I am never at home and spend time with Him?

There are churches who preach about miracles, for instance, and you see miracles, but miracles and wonders are not to be more  important than Jesus as person. He ought to be in centrum.

Meetings are many times in just a big church building today, but we read that Mary had many who were in her house praying. I believe in having large meetings, but I also believe in house meetings, where each can share the Word, worship and allow God's presence to come in.

Today sometimes people are running so much to one conference to another but sometimes forget to seek God themselves and that you also with any friend/friends can seek God. It is good with good conferences but we need time for God ourselves too. Yeshua and our heavenly Daddy are one and have much fellowship.

We need time with God. The enemy wants to steal our time and we need to be on our guard. Teaching and what we are called to and other things is not to be first but then God as a person and to have a relation with him.

We also need to relax and have time with God  as a our Friend.

 In Ps.95:2 is written " Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving."

In Song of Solomon 2:16 is written " My beloved is mine and I am his".

I think about the relation here as I also think means the relation with Yeshua. He is our Friend. We need the first love to him in our lives.

In Song of Solomon 5:10 we can read also about Yeshua not just a bride and bridegoom. For instance we can read " My beloved is white and ruddy, chief among ten thousands". It talks about how wonderful Yeshua is. In a relation with Yeshua who is wonderful. It talks here about a relation in love here. The bride loves the bridegoom and express her love.

Yeshua  love when we worship him and express our love to him in this way. Yeshua is a real Friend and love when we take time with the relation with him. He is so glad when we come to him, taking time with him.

As the bull Ferdinand in Walt Disney's film liked to sit at the tree with his flowers relaxed Yeshua likes when we also take time with him and not always be busy.

He loves us so much and we need to learn to know him more.

Yeshua is a wonderful Friend!

Eva Haglund

 

YOUR FRIEND

When there is no one else there Yeshua (Jesus) is there.

When you feel alone he is closer then your voice.

He is THERE.

When you think there is no way out 

Your Friend has a way out.

As the Israelites were delivered at the sea 

and went through the sea.

He can bring you out keeping his hand.

As a good shepherd holds a most precious lamb in his arms 

He carries  you like a precious lamb in His arms.

Trust in Him, the Good Shepherd, 

who laid down His life for you,

showing the heart of the Father.

A God who was giving to do everything for you.

His heart was crushed for you.

Why You Don't Prosper

 5/1/2014 DR. KARA DAVIS

It’s spring! Now is the season for longer days, outdoor fun and one of my favorite pastimes—gardening. I’m no master gardener, but I do enjoy planting on a small scale. There’s nothing like freshly picked basil, cilantro or thyme to pack flavor into a dish. And the taste of tomatoes, strawberries and peppers from my own backyard beats anything I can buy in a supermarket.

But the benefits of gardening go beyond great-tasting, nutritious foods. The garden is where many biblical truths are literally brought to life. Through “working the soil,” I’ve gained a better understanding of some deep spiritual precepts, including that of the harvest.

More than likely, most of us have heard teaching or preaching on the topic of a spiritual harvest. But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit there are periods when we’re not experiencing the bountiful blessings promised in the message. Of course, there are many reasons why this might be the case, but let’s start with the concept of sowing and reaping.

Sowing and Reaping

God’s natural laws hold true in the spirit realm. This is especially clear with sowing and reaping: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). So when we experience periods of barrenness, where an expected harvest did not come to pass, the first question to ask is, “What, if anything, have I sown?”

In the natural, we don’t question this concept. In my own garden, if I sow beet seeds, I know beets will grow. I don’t pray for beets, claim beets or “speak life” into the soil for a harvest of beets if I haven’t planted the seed. Likewise, I don’t look for peppers if it’s beets that I’ve sown. We have no problem accepting sowing and reaping as a natural law. But we must also accept it as a spiritual law.

What Did You Sow?

Are we expecting to reap a financial blessing—when we haven’t spread seeds of generosity?

Do we anticipate the harvest of a better job—when we haven’t scattered seeds of diligence and integrity with our current employer?

Are we looking for an outpouring of favorable relationships—when we haven’t sprinkled seeds of kindness, commitment and courtesy?

The law of sowing and reaping even applies to our physical health. Many times we are afflicted because our lifestyles have sown seeds of illness, seeds that will eventually bear the fruit of disease.

God's Love Remains

Truly, God is not mocked. We will reap what we sow. But always remember: While sowing and reaping are laws, they do not reflect God’s love. His agape love is unconditional. So no matter what the harvest—whether barren or bountiful—God’s love toward us remains. And for that, we can rejoice!

Leadership Through Love - Chapter 2 "Use the Tools, Not the Staff" by Steve Martin

The following are a few paragraphs taken from Chapter 2.

Use the

Tools, Not the Staff

The Lord Jesus Himself gave us valuable lessons, while He led His band of men and women on earthly team, which has proven itself to be most applicable in my leading of business and ministry staffs. These very effective truths in administrating were spoken by Him, when He said to His small band, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39)

These were two of my key attitudes I took early on in my management positions, as I learned how to be a “manager of the people”, as one other executive team member put it, during one of my years with Derek Prince Ministries (1987-1990 and 2001-2005).

Not wanting to be one who “lords it over others”, demanding my own way and using the “staff rather the tools”, I took the posture of treating the staff who served with me as I desired my boss to treat me - honoring them as I wanted to be recognized and honored, and uplifting them as I often needed, but rarely received, in some cases. As I sought to encourage each one in my care, even as a pastor does his flock, I found that the love grew between them and I. When those bonds were established, staff readily would give beyond the call of duty and pay, as they knew my heart was not just for the job to be done, but for them in helping me get it done.

Not only did we labor together for the cause of the Lord in the ministry, with me as the recognized leader and their boss, but we became friends for the long haul. I still treasure and continue to keep relationships with those who were in the same office setting with me, or on the church volunteer teams, as fellow servants. Taking a heart position of being their servant, and not one seeking to be served, created and maintained unique, precious, and long term relationships.

Single Women, Be Encouraged by God’s Promises

Single Women, Be Encouraged by God’s Promises

KIMBERLY L. RAY - Charisma Magazine, Spirit-Led Woman

Today as the percentage of single women continues to grow, so do the questions, “Lord, You said you would give me the desires of my heart. Why am I still single?”

It seems that singleness to some is like an invisible cloud that denotes a sense of failure. It is like some type of plague. In our society it seems that a cloak of negativity blankets those who are not in relationships. Even at church so much emphasis is put on strengthening marriages and families—which is needed—that many singles are left feeling like something’s missing until they are married and have a family of their own. It is like they’re in a holding pattern, walking around with question marks over their heads.

As a single woman, I write this chapter from a place of surety. I praise the Lord that, whether married or single, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are [His] works, and that my soul knows very well” (Ps. 139:14). But I understand how a lot of single women feel when people ask, “Are you married?” In their defense I would like to mention a few obvious reasons for the increased numbers of singles today.

First, many people have unrealistic expectations of relationships. In our fast-paced society women are constantly bombarded with images of perfection on TV and in movies, magazines and even on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Thinking this is what it takes to attract a suitable, available mate, women are driven to be the prettiest, wealthiest, most active person around. Some are resorting to plastic surgery to get the perfect figure, as if they are in some type of competition to achieve the perfect body.

Perfect looks won’t bring the perfect man or lead to a perfect marriage. God has given each of us everything we need to accomplish His will for our lives. That means the person He has for you will find you attractive without any nips or tucks. And every marriage goes through difficult times. That’s why the Bible tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord and not in a spouse. He’s the only one who can truly satisfy the longings of our hearts.

Second, there has been a spiritual attack on men and godly manhood. We cannot ignore the painful reality that many men of marrying age are, for whatever reason, unavailable. Disproportionate numbers of African-American and Hispanic men are incarcerated, and a growing number of men are choosing alternative lifestyles. Some men are openly gay while others are bisexual and keep their same-sex relationships and confusion about their sexual identity a secret. By doing so, they expose a potential wife to emotional devastation and sexually transmitted diseases.

Please don’t get me wrong; I have the utmost love, honor and respect for men. Men are made in the image of God. There are secure, handsome, mighty men of God who want to get married. I am simply being honest about the plight of many single women who face a shrinking pool of eligible, God-fearing potential mates.

Driven by the longing for a family and children against the backdrop of a ticking biological clock, a woman can find herself settling for the wrong man and tolerating unacceptable behavior. It’s heart wrenching to watch women endure mistreatment and waste precious time waiting for proposals that will never come.

Scripture tells us that we are complete in Him, whether married or not (Col. 2:10). Many single women today are financially independent and are accomplished in their careers.

They are talented and intelligent, yet they think they are somehow lacking. I thank God that there are polished and intelligent Christian women who have self-respect, moral values, and godly standards. As Proverbs 31:25 says, “Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come.” Those are the very attributes the enemy wants to steal from single women.

It is a plan of the enemy to give the impression that being a saved, single Christian is a miserable existence. Don’t believe the lie. I can honestly say it is an enormous joy serving God and reaching humanity as a single person. The Bible tells us there are benefits to being single (see 1 Cor. 7:34). No matter what state we find ourselves in, married or single, we are to be content (Phil. 4:11).

For those who desire to marry and are wondering when God will bring them a mate, please know this: God loves you and He made a man of God for you who will not play games with your emotions. He will honor, love and respect you. Don’t settle.

If you’ve fallen in the trap of the enemy and gotten involved with the wrong man, repent, forgive those who have hurt you and forgive yourself. Then move forward. Scripture says God has good plans for us (Jer. 29:11). That is true even if we’ve made mistakes.

As born-again believers we must put our faith in God no matter what the circumstances look like. Everything God has planned for us from the foundation of the earth will come to pass, including marriage, in His timing. Be encouraged (see Ps.37: 4-5). Don’t let the enemy overwhelm you with fear, rejection or hopelessness. Focus on God and trust His plan for you, His Word is more reliable than any dating book on the best-seller list.

PRAYER POWER FOR THE WEEK OF 01/27/2014

Thank the Lord this week that we are complete in Him, whether married or not. Thank Him that He has the perfect plan and purpose for your life and tell Him that you trust Him with it. Ask Him to direct your steps and commit His Word to memory so that your mind would be renewed and your thoughts would focus on all He has done, and continues to do on your behalf, and not on any perceived lack. Continue to pray for those suffering loss from catastrophic weather conditions, fires, accidents, crime and unemployment. Ask God to connect you with those providing help to the needy so that you join with them in being a blessing. Pray for revival in our nation and continue to pray for Israel, the persecuted church, our national and local leaders, the military and their families. Col. 2:10; Jer. 29:11; Phil. 4:11; Ps. 37:4-5.
