You breathe Your life into my lungs,
You bring to life these dry bones,
I know that You're alive
You call me one of Your own
In my heart You made Your home

To all the dry and weary souls
Take joy, take heart, be filled with hope

To all the ones who have no home
Get up and run, we're going home

ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO THE LAND - John Paul Jackson
ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO THE LAND

For Release: January 2014
I am intensely interested in what God is doing in Israel. I have visited the Holy Land more than 20 times. Recently, the Lord led me to study the life of Abraham. The Jews say Abraham was born 1,948 years after Adam was created. 1948 is an interesting number. Israel became a nation in 1948 - 1,948 years after the birth of Jesus, the second Adam.
Another interesting parallel is that the Tower of Babel was built in 1996 - 1,996 years from the beginning of creation. In 1996 A.D., The European Union made the Tower of Babel its insignia. I don’t think that’s an accident.
The Tower of Babel was in Ur which is where Abraham is from. God called him to the land of Canaan. Lot went with him and God blessed them. Their flocks multiplied. Soon, there wasn’t enough grassland to feed both of their families. So, they separated. Lot went to the valley of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham stayed in the northern part of Canaan.
During that time, God brought in four kings from the east to Israel. One was the king of Babel, which is modern day Iraq. Another was the king over Persia, which is modern day Iran. There were two other kings with them as well.
There were five other kings. These were vassal kings. They were the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah. There were three other kings with them as well. But, these five vassal kings stopped paying their taxes to the other four kings.
The four kings didn’t want to lose all that tax money. So, they came to Israel to fight the five kings who didn’t want to pay their taxes.
The four kings conquered the five vassal kings and seized everything in Sodom and Gomorrah including Lot and his family who were taken back to Ur the land they originally came from.
Abraham heard about it and took 318 men with him and conquered the four kings who overpowered the five kings that didn’t pay their taxes. That was a staggering victory, not only by the numbers but by the right of conquest. Abraham now had the rights to all of the land of Israel.
After that, a strange individual visited Abraham. It was Melchizedek. If you really believe Melchizedek had no beginning and no end; then, you would have to admit, He wasn’t human. He’s without father, without mother, without beginning, without end.
And He was the King of Salem, the King of Righteousness. He’s described in many ways as Yeshua Himself. Whoever He was, He was very powerful. And, He blessed Abraham.
Right after that, Abraham had an encounter with God. God gave Abraham a vision of a burning oven. A torch passed between pieces of animals that were cut in half. And God made a covenant with Abraham. He told Abraham, “I will give you every place your foot has trod.” That, literally, goes back to where Abraham came from — the land of Ur.
Abraham has a right to the land because God gave it to him and because Abraham conquered it. Parallels also show how God has watched over Israel from the beginning. He is watching over them now.

Are You Listening? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Are
You Listening?
Now
Think On This
Steve

“God told Abram: "Leave your
country, your family, and your father's home for a land that I will show you. I'll
make you a great nation and bless you. I'll make you famous; you'll be a
blessing. I'll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I'll curse. All
the families of the Earth will be blessed through you."
So Abram left just as God said, and Lot left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot with him, along with all the possessions and people they had gotten in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan and arrived safe and sound.” Gen. 12:1-5 THE MESSAGE
So Abram left just as God said, and Lot left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot with him, along with all the possessions and people they had gotten in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan and arrived safe and sound.” Gen. 12:1-5 THE MESSAGE
Have
you ever wondered what Abram (later to be called Abraham) was doing when He
heard the Lord call His name? The Scriptures do not say much about him prior to
that, except that he was with his father Terah, on their way to live in Canaan,
when they then settled in Haran. His father died there.
“Terah
took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his
daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went out together from Ur of
the Chaldeans in order to enter the land of Canaan; and they went as far as
Haran, and settled there. The days of Terah were two hundred and five years;
and Terah died in Haran.” Gen. 11:31-32 NASU
The
Torah doesn’t tell us how long they had lived in Haran before God speaks
directly to Abram personally. Had it been a few years? A decade? Maybe it had
been 20 years or more he lived there? I guess that part of his story isn’t important
info needed, otherwise the Lord would have had Moses (Moshe) write it down. But
it does say enough to us about how the Lord moves in our lives.
We
may be going along in our day, “minding our own business” as they say, believing
that we have gone far enough in our walk with the Lord. We are ready to settle
down in the comfy place we have arrived at. “Retirement” may even be on the
near horizon. After all, 50, 60, 70 years of living, with even much of that hopefully walking with the Lord, has gotten
us this far. Surely that must be enough until our time ends here on this
planet.
But
just as a side note - time with God doesn’t really matter when it comes to new
assignments for us, and the age of our body. Moses was 80 when he got his new mission,
remember? That would mean he had already completed 2/3 of his life, now knowing he
lived to be 120. If we do some simple math, Moses would have been around 60 years
old on his timeline if the same ration is used to calculate our expected life span years, assuming
we generally now live to be around 88 or 90 ourselves. Get my point?
Now
back to Abram. After a time of settlement, the Lord spoke a clear word to him,
as head of his household. To Abram, the husband of Sarai, He told him to move
on.
We
come to a point on our journey when we can become content with life as we know
it. We have accomplished a few goals; we have raised a family who are now raising
their own; we have reached destinations that have been good. Now we feel the
time has come to sit back, relax in that good ole’ leather recliner, and let
the baton be passed on to the next generations. It’s their turn after all,
right? Let them do the work now.
But
is that it? Have we already completed the race, reaching the finish line, and
just wanting to wait for the last song to be played?
I
think not. I believe the Lord has new assignments for the 50+ generation. I personally
am ready to get one myself.
The
Lord is speaking. He is even wanting to speak a word to you personally –
through His Word, by His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), or through another
person or message heard today. Hey, maybe even through a movie of all things!
I
am listening. I hope you are too.
Now
think on this,

GOD AND HIS THOUGHTS TOWARD YOU - John Paul Jackson
John Paul Jackson
GOD AND HIS THOUGHTS
TOWARD YOU
Written by John Paul Jackson
Several people have recently asked me to teach on what I call the Law of Geographic Anointing. Simply put, this law is all about the heart of God, His extravagant affection for us and how He intends to use us on the earth. Though not clearly stated, this law can be seen in every story in Scripture.
The Law of Geographic Anointing reveals that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us. He chose the times and places we would live, and He arranged a myriad of details concerning us (Acts 17:26–28).
The moment we begin to peel back the layers of geographic anointing, we come face to face with a powerful but childlike realization: I must be important to God for Him to be so intentional about the details of my life. The more we understand His ways, His plans for us and His purposes on the earth, the more we understand the position we hold in His heart and are drawn to love Him passionately in return.
MATCHING YOUR THOUGHTS TO GOD’S THOUGHTS
God loves us more than we could ever comprehend. His affection for us is greater than anything we could ever hope for. The Law of Geographic Anointing is one of many principles and laws in Scripture that boldly declare that truth. But when it comes down to it, many of us have a hard time balancing what God says about us and what we believe about ourselves.
I spent two years in such a state of heaviness that all I could do was sit in my office. I dreaded the phone calls asking me to come and speak. Whenever I stood behind a pulpit, the Holy Spirit would come upon me and anoint me in incredible ways. Amazing things would happen. But when I walked away from the pulpit, the anointing would lift, and I would spiral back into my abysmal office sitting, unable to do anything productive and wincing every time the phone rang.
In that time of darkness, the Lord dealt with me concerning this whole issue of how I thought about myself. He told me, “I want you to start praying and writing down what I say in Scripture.”
This instruction is so simple and its effects are so profound. I have come to understand that all the promises written in His Word personally apply to me. They are equally applicable to you. The Law of Geographic Anointing is working in your life as much as it worked in Abraham’s life or Moses’ life. Why? Because He has excellent plans for you, just as He had for them; you are important to Him, and in the same breath, you play an important role in His plans.
REMEMBERING HIS WORD
If you are unsure of who you are and where God is leading you, do what God told me to do—pray His Word and write down His Word.
Sit with your Father and go through Scripture. Write down the verses that jump out at you and ask Him why your heart stirs as you read them—what He is saying to you through them. We cannot come in contact with God’s living Word and fail to experience some sort of change.
This incredible God we serve designed you for this day, for this era of enigma; He designed you to be a solution in a time of quandary and to have faith when others are struggling. You are where you are for a reason, and whether or not your emotions agree with this, God is with you.
He will do everything He promised. He will bring you into the land of your anointing, and someday when you look back on your life, you will find that every step of the road was saturated with His faithfulness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
— Psalm 84:11

Pope Francis And A Word I Received on the Catholic Church - Kim Clement (April 19, 2014)
Pope Francis And A Word I Received
God's Warriors,
What an unusual and incredible season we are in!!!!!After our powerful prayer gatherings and the Prophetic Alert these past few weeks, on Monday I finally sat back, breathed a sigh of relief and thought, “Time to sit back and take a breath.” Within minutes I was in a state of an “ecstatic” perception, caught into a prophetic elevation, and during this moment I caught a glimpse of a variety of religious garments and oil being poured on them. Then I saw Pope Francis, a massive spiritual renewal, and a shaking in heaven and on earth. Over the next few hours and especially when I went to my Garden to pray the next morning,I realized how BIG this global event was going to be. A few days later I received a phone call confirming that what I had seen was already in the making. This Easter weekend, the prophetic utterance will be released when we gather together on Saturday.
On the very night/day of the blood moon, April 14/15, this all unfolded without us actually realizing it until later. Israel was affected by the blood moon in 1948-49 and in 1967-68, but this blood moon (April 15th) was the beginning of a global shaking that will affect the Roman Catholic Church.
There is MORE. Join me live this Saturday at THE DEN -12 PM (Pacific time) only on kimclement.tv. Hours after Pope Benedict shocked the world by unexpectedly resigning on February 11, 2013, a clear sign from the heavens struck the heart of the Vatican, a sign connected to a prophetic declaration uttered several years ago on the soil of Portland, Oregon on April 2, 2005. On Codebreakers, we will investigate this prophecy and other prophetic utterances spoken years in advance, which are connected to the Catholic Church and this present Pope. What new and unusual manifestation has the Spirit planned for hundreds of millions around the world?
Do not miss.
Kim Clement
Saturday's broadcast (April 19th) will be LIVE online from12:00PM PT/3:00PM ET/7:00PM GMT. You can join us at www.kimclement.tv at the scheduled time. We will replay this event immediately following the LIVE broadcast.
