“Let Go & Let God” – Now Think On This by Steve Martin
“Let Go &
Let God”
Now Think On This
by Steve Martin
“The
Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and He saved me. Let
my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. He has saved me
from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. And so I walk in the
Lord's presence as I live here on earth!” Psalm 116:6-9, New Living Translation
“Let go and let God.”
I heard the words in my spirit. I knew it was the Lord.
Even in that deep sleep, when He speaks, I have learned to recognize His voice.
The day had barely turned to March 21, 2014. It was going
to be the first full day of spring. The clock’s red letters said “2:12”. As in “A.M.”
As in, “It is still quite dark outside here in Charlotte, NC.”
But I had woken up, or to put it correctly, I had been
woken up with His words, “Let go and let God.” When I confirmed the time on the
clock placed at the headboard of our bed, I quickly reminded the Lord that I
had a long day ahead that Friday. It was going to be around midnight before I’d
probably get to bed again, and I really wasn’t wanting to get up just yet.
But in learning to trust Him in these things, having experienced
Him this way in the past, when awoken with a word spoken from Him, I responded.
I got up. The five hours of sleep would have to be enough for that day.
There were a few things that I knew He was speaking that
word to me about. One was the upcoming income tax due, whereby the remaining $1100
was going to have to get paid. There were yet another 24 days to see His hand
provide for that. I was being challenged in my trust.
My faith level had already risen a degree, when He sent the
unexpected room renter from Minnesota this week. He had arrived just last
Sunday, after responding to an ad I had placed on a website that morning at
5:30 am. This upcoming rental income would cover three fourths of the tax bill.
Thank you Jesus.
I am most grateful for this provision, as the Lord takes
care of our needs. The years in walking His chosen path for our lives, for my
good wife Laurie and I, have proven His love over and over again to us and our
family. Walking His walk brings the joy and fulfilment He desires for His
children.
But I actually don’t think this word, His word, “Let go and
let God,” was just for me. I think it is for you who are reading this.
Our Lord, God of heaven and earth, Creator of all and Caretaker
over Israel, truly cares about matters in our lives. That income tax bill that
is due in three weeks; that long day ahead where more sleep would have been
good in preparation for it (or so we think); the child whom we have raised,
with as much love as we knew how, and yet still has not followed the Lord’s
ways as we had spent long hours praying they would; He most certainly cares
about that.
The Lord is saying to you, “I am in control. I am taking
care of that concern. You can put it back in MY hands, and watch Me take care
of it.”
In addition, there is the thought that the "Let go and let God" may be in connection to something else. Sometimes He calls us to let go of the "cup" we are holding - that treasure or object we know came from the Lord in days gone by. It may be the best cup we have ever had. It may actually be an actual object, like the #24 Jeff Gordon NASCAR cup I used to really admire, or you might have even a championship cup from your favorite team 20 years ago.
On the spiritual side, it may be that prestigious role you have always filled, but now the Lord is calling you to let go of that one, for the new one He has prepared your for these past years while doing that one. In my life, it was letting go of leading worship and a praise band, so I could give that time to writing books. I love it even more now - the new role He has placed me in!
It may be that event, person, or passion that is keeping you from letting go so you can take the next path the Lord has in store for you, which you won't know about until you let go of this one.
But if we let go of that past, He has a better one for us now. He wants us to move on and live in the here and now. We have to let go of that and go forward with the now. Fresh manna daily, right?

As the Psalmist wrote in the Scripture shared above, “And
so I walk in the Lord's presence as I live here on earth”, we too can choose to
walk in our Father’s presence, each and every day, with His Holy Spirit as our
Guide and Comforter. We can choose to abide under the shadow of His wings,
protected by the flurry of activity around us, remaining peaceful in His loving
care.
My prayer for you, for my family, for those who have
entrusted prayer concerns to me, is that you will also this day, “Let go and
let God.” I am trusting in Him and keeping my eyes fixed on Yeshua, the Author
and Finisher of my faith. I hope you do too.
Now think on this,

Auschwitz: Evil Unchecked a Prelude to Genocide
Joel Rosenberg
CBN News
March 20, 2014
The New York Times best-selling author Joel Rosenberg is back with another historical novel. This one deals with one of the darkest times in human history: the Holocaust.
During World War II, 11 million people were rounded up and taken to concentration camps all over Europe. Six million were Jews.
An estimated 1 million of them died at Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration camp complex in Poland.
Rosenberg's new novel, The Auschwitz Escape, was inspired by true stories of those who were captured and sent to the death camps.
During World War II, 11 million people were rounded up and taken to concentration camps all over Europe. Six million were Jews.
An estimated 1 million of them died at Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration camp complex in Poland.
Rosenberg's new novel, The Auschwitz Escape, was inspired by true stories of those who were captured and sent to the death camps.
In it, Rosenberg provides a glimpse of the horrors that existed behind those prison walls, and the courage needed not only to survive a death camp, but to break free and tell the world the truth.
"We must never forget what they did, and why they did it," Rosenberg writes in a Fox News blog. "But we must also be ready to act wisely, bravely, and decisively if a mortal threat rises again."
"For if we learn nothing else from the history of the Holocaust, we had better learn this: Evil, unchecked, is the prelude to genocide," he warned.
Are we as a culture at risk of forgetting the terrible events of the Nazi Holocaust? Rosenberg addressed this question and talked more about his new novel on "The 700 Club," March 20.

You Are Invited To Walk In the Double Portion of Your Fathers In the Spirit - Jeff Jensen
Jeff Jansen:
The Elijah List
Great Fathers
We lost a great father on February 14, 2014, when Bob Jones was called home. Bob was a spiritual father to many. He was a spiritual father to Jan and me.
In 1975, Bob went to Heaven and God sent him back with a mandate to "learn to love" and to prepare the Church to see one billion souls come into the Kingdom. He has left many sons and many daughters behind. His words to us were that his ceiling would be our floor.
In 1975, Bob went to Heaven and God sent him back with a mandate to "learn to love" and to prepare the Church to see one billion souls come into the Kingdom. He has left many sons and many daughters behind. His words to us were that his ceiling would be our floor.
Bob died on Valentine's Day, 2-14 in 2014. Bob's life is a parable. It is Habakkuk 2:14 which says, "But [the time is coming] (and now is) that the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord..."
It is also 2 Kings 2:14, which is the account of Elijah and Elisha. This is where I believe we, the Church, are at this time.
Many fathers are going home, but it's 2 Kings 2:14 for 2014. Those that were a part of revival in America in the '50s – Schambach, Oral Roberts, T. L. Osborn – they have all gone home. Paul Cain is the last of the '50's revivalists.
He told me recently that he knew the Lord was taking him home this year. Our fathers have left a great legacy of power and love.
He told me recently that he knew the Lord was taking him home this year. Our fathers have left a great legacy of power and love.
Elisha Tested
In 2 Kings 2, Elisha leaves all and goes with Elijah the prophet. In verse 2, Elijah tries to get Elisha to stay in that place, but Elisha refuses to leave him. Elisha would not allow himself to get distracted, because he was after something and was determined not to miss it. Verse 4 and verse 6 says Elijah again tries twice more to get him to stay behind, but Elisha was firm in his pursuit.
The Word says in 2 Kings 2:8-10 that the two of them, Elijah and Elisha, stood by the Jordan. Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the waters. The waters divided and they walked across on dry ground. After they crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha:
"'Ask what I shall do for you before I be taken away from you.' And Elisha said, 'I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.' And he said, 'You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so unto you...'"
Elijah had tested Elisha, tried to shake him, but Elisha kept his focus and would not be put off. Elisha wanted a double portion of what was on Elijah's life.
In verse 11, they went on talking and a chariot of fire parted the two of them and Elijah went up into Heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha watched Elijah go up into the heavens. He was in anguish because his father whom he loved was gone. He wasn't after the mantle. Elisha loved his father, Elijah. You cannot just take someone's mantle; it comes through relationship.
It says in verses 13-14, that Elisha took up the mantle of Elijah which had fallen to the ground and went to the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of his father, Elijah, and struck the water saying, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" The water parted and he walked over on dry ground.
He could have just stood there holding that mantle saying, "Where is the God of my father?" and nothing would have happened. It wasn't until he did exactly what he saw his father do and struck the Jordan. As soon as he did, the double took place and the Jordan rolled up on either side. Elisha did exactly double the amount of miracles Elijah had done.
He received the double portion.
He received the double portion.
The Double Portion is Being Released
We are living in 2 Kings 2:14. We have had fathers. Many are now going home. As they are going home, there is an opportunity for the double. The double portion is being released. This is the year of the double doors, the year of the double portion. We must use what we have been entrusted with and we will see double the miracles.
The knowledge of the glory of God is coming in ways that take what the previous generations have done, and we will build on top of that. Their ceiling is our floor. What our fathers have done in the Spirit, we have the opportunity to take it to another level. It is the double portion. We all have the invitation to walk in the double portion of what the previous fathers have done in the Spirit.
Souls need to be won and transformed. Nations also need to be transformed. I want a double portion so I can do something with it. America needs to get saved. American needs reformation.
Paul Cain saw the stadiums being full in America, where the dead were being raised. He saw CNN broadcasting, "There is no news today but good news. There has been a resurrection in the stadium." He saw thousands coming to Christ in America.
I want to pray the double portion for you:
Lord, I pray the Father's blessing over everyone reading this. I pray for double portion, Lord. It is our turn now. Many fathers are going home and those mantles are falling upon another generation. God, we want to be the Elisha generation. It is going from Moses to Joshua, from Elijah to Elisha. Lord, we want to be Joshua that takes them into fulfill the promises, take them into the Promised Land. It is our turn now. Lord, I pray for the double portion.
Reach out and take the mantles that are falling and do something with them. Lay hands on the sick, give hope to the hopeless, love others well. God is looking for ways to change lives, and it will come through us. These are the days of the double portion.
Blessings,
Jeff Jansen

From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I lost my own spiritual father, Wade Taylor, just two years before a second "father in the spirit," Bob Jones, also went home to be with the Lord.
It's hard to say that the loss of these great men...for me and for others...is gain. Nevertheless, what this often means in God's economy is that when one father goes home, the spiritual sons inherit a double portion.
