Intercession 3-6-99

 

Ray) the Lord told me something pretty interesting about His ministry.  A scripture comes to mind, (it’s better to have not heard than to have heard and not do) we are to be hearers of the word and doers of the word. For the one that just hears only is deceiving himself. I saw something and it is kind of a universal principle. If you hear and obey the word then you are under that umbrella of protection, you are protected from the elements, the storms of life, that type of thing. If you hear and you don’t there is no umbrella protecting you, so if you hear and obey the blessings come as a result and built into that there is that law Einstein’s theory relatively, for every action will equal opposite reaction. That is true in the spiritual realm too, so if you obey the blessing is there and if you do not obey the blessing is not there; instead there is a cursing. Ray) it is not that God curses you; it is built into the system. Deuteronomy 28 the first part says: if you obey and do all these things blessings come on you, but if you don’t cursing comes on you. The entire chapter is built right into it

And we are living in that day, which is the fulfillment of all that stuff, so Jesus said my disciples are those who obey my commands, obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Those are the ones that are his disciples and the ones that don’t hear the voice of the Holy Spirit are the opposite, whatever that is and the cursing is there.   

 

Ray) it is beyond the river of glory, it is already going and is already out there wiping out obstacles and this mixing thing is an additional part of that blending or whatever is going on. Deb) all things that He has put out to do are beyond, it is out there.

  • This morning I had a sinking feeling inside.  I remembered what was spoken out last Sunday about The Body of Christ and the blessing and cursing: when the Lord speaks a command to you in the Body of Christ and you complete He commands the one hundred fold blessing upon you.  The one hundred fold blessing is not limited to finances.  On the other hand if the Word is spoken and you disobey the one hundred fold curse will come upon you.   This is like the spirit and idea of the Ananias and Sapphira incident in Acts.)

  • It is like taking a long string and threading beads on it.  Place the beads in the center. One end of the string represents blessing and the other cursing.  When air blows against the bead it will travel a certain distance along the string.  The bead will move along the string in either direction depending on the direction of the air.  Thus you have the law: "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

  • We know that Jesus said that what is bound on earth will be bound in heaven and what is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven.  We live in a parallel universe between the realm of the spirit and the earth. Truth exists in the physical realm and in the spiritual realm.

  • We can apply this truth to the Word and our obedience to it.  If the Lord prompts us to give money He expects us to obey Him and give it.   When we do He deposits a one hundred fold return in our heavenly account.  If we disobey that equal and opposite law goes into motion.  For example, if the Lord tells us to give $2500.00 to a particular ministry and you obey the result will be $250,000.00 deposited into your heavenly account.  If you disobey the negative one hundred fold return is now in motion and  impacts your heavenly account. 

  • The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy all that is yours. He has the freedom to deceive you because you have opened the door for deception. You have deceived yourself. James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." Gal 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." 

  • The loss is actually much higher as the amount you would have had is in the plus column (+ $250,000.00) but now is in the negative (-$250,000.00), the difference being $500,000.00. Remember that whatever goes into our heavenly account is protected…Mat 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: (Mat 6:20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal ."

  • I know a woman who said the Lord had prompted her to give a ministry $10,000.00.  A portion of this money was to start a Christian book store. However she was disobedient to the direction of God.  Her current living situation has been negatively affected in approximately two months.  She pulled away from fellowship and her giving has almost ceased.   Through a legal situation she is losing her belongings and cash reserves. The court system seized most of her property.  She has called a local prayer line stating that she is considering suicide.  These are not the desired results.  However there are Spiritual laws that have been activated by actions. When I begin to pray for this lady the Holy Ghost always tells me to pray in the Spirit as I don't know what to pray in this situation.

  •  

  • You may think that all this is just a coincidence but…(James 1:22 and Gal 6:7) are now in motion. Remember as recorded in Acts 5:5-10, the husband and wife lied to the Holy Ghost saying that they had sold land for a certain amount.  The Bible says they lied to the Holy Ghost. The Apostles never asked anyone to sell their goods and bring the proceeds; the Holy Ghost asked.  

  • We have all said that "we want what the early church had".  We foolishly think only of the showy outward manifestations of the Spirit.  We do not realize that if we walk in the outward power-packed manifestation we will also walk in the opposite side of the coin.  Wake up!  We are now walking in the end times latter reign.   There is almost no time left before Jesus comes for us.  This is beginning of the latter reign.  We need to line our lives up with the Word.  The Body of Christ around the world can not play church anymore.   There is so little time left! This wave of God is the wave of His Glory.  Those who stay securely placed in the boat will be part of the flood of His Glory. Those who don't get onboard will be demolished by it. It's your choice….  (Josh 24:15)

We would share something with you that the Lord dropped into our spirit last Friday.  We'll share the rationale that the Lord used to initially reveal the truth and then list some of the insights, examples and conclusions.

As we were praying the Lord He brought to our mind that Jesus has redeemed us (rescued us) from the curse of the law.  He reminded me that by Jesus stripes we were healed. Jesus descended in to the lower parts and destroyed the power of satan and made a show of him openly (Eph. 4:9   Col. 2:15).  Rev 20:3 & 8 refer to the devils activities on the earth. He is the deceiver or misleads the nations (ethnos) peoples meaning ethnic groups.  As you will see the devil has deceived us in a very subtle way.

Follow the thinking for just a minute:  We know that Jesus defeated the devil and redeemed us from the curse of the law.  The law of sin and death includes poverty, sickness, lack, unfulfilled visions and callings from God,  etc.  We sing songs and pray prayers that refer to the "battle is not mine but the Lord's".

Sounds good? Think about it though. We know Jesus won the battle.  Why in the world are we still "casting the care of a battle" that we see in the natural on Him?   He told us that the battle has been won.  He made us joint heirs with Him.

The Lord then gave us an illustration. This is the truth He was revealing:   Let us transport ourselves back to World War II times.  Assume that we are on the home front working and doing things to provide for and support the troops that are on the front line fighting the battles.  It would be fair to say "I cast the care of the battle and fighting the fights on the troops at the front line...I trust that they will win WW II."

Now come back to the present day and say the same thing. "I cast the care of the war on the troops and I trust that they will win WW II."  When the Lord posed that to me we realized how ludicrous this thought is.   It is a historical FACT that WW II is over and we won.  America and the free world enjoy the benefit of that victory.  If we were to say, "I shouldn't by a car because the military needs the metal to make airplanes for the war..." I would be living in the past and not enjoying the benefit of the victory that is an established fact.

How much more then is the Word of God an established fact?  Yet we have allowed ourselves to accept pictures of defeat and lack.   Defeat and lack are a part of the law of sin and death that the devil creates.  We even know the scriptures.   We know better than to think and act this way. How much time have you lost and how much energy have you spent dealing with something that is a done deal?

In Scriptural reality those negative pictures do not have a right to exist.  The storms of life don't have a legal right to present themselves to us.   Jer 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."   That is what the Lord thinks about us.  We need to replace any thought that is contrary.   2 Cor 10:5 "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;".  The knowledge of God is always victory.

We wonder why those to whom we minister seem to deal with the same thing day after day; month after month and year after year.  I think we have an answer to that now.

The Lord revealed an attack plan:  Take any negative picture that pops up and speak to it..."In the name of Jesus, empty check book you have no right to show yourself to me.  I cast ...(this picture) down...I deny your right to exist and I loose you to the pit NOW!"

Now you have created a blank slate to which you also speak.   Ask the Holy Spirit to help you create God's picture. "Money...COMMETH to me, NOW!" Remember that Jesus said that whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.  Mat. 16:19. You then see the animated picture of God filling up your account and speak to it.  "Checkbook you are now full and running over....in the name of Jesus."

We need to do this for every area that comes to mind.  We can then know that the fruit of our mouth we produce is good fruit.  This is a breakthrough revelation that the entire Body of Christ needs to hear and do.  We share it with you as we pray that it will go off in your spirit and you'll get it to the Body that you have influence over.  We will also continue sharing it on every platform the Lord provides.  We are  convinced that this is a part of the expanding Spiritual technology and increase of knowledge that the Word speaks of.   Applying the revelation will set individuals free and allow them to fulfill God's calling in their lives.  It will catapult ministries into the place that God intends them to be; to the vision that God has placed in the leader.

A insight of the Word for Easter.  God bless you as you read His Word.  John 15:13-15 is the launching point of this Word:

Jesus always saw God sitting on His throne high and lifted up.  The moments of darkeness for Jesus were the most challenging time.  It was about the ninth hour when the sky turned black.  In the moment when the sky was completely black Jesus bore all the sins on Himself.  He took on all iniquity. God the Father had to turn around.  God the Father turned His back to Jesus because the Father cannot look on sin.  For the first time since the foundation of the world God's throne was hidden from Jesus' view.   He could not see the Father with his eyes.  See Luke 23:44 which describes the darkness about the ninth hour.  

Jesus then said:

"My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?"   Mark 15:34

"Father into thy hands I commend my spirit."  Luke 23:46

"It is finished"  John 19: 30  

When Jesus said, 'it is finished', the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom.  Luke 23:45  

Jesus gave up the ghost .  The earth quaked and rocks rent.   Graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose.  and caem out of the graves at His resurrection.  They went into the city and appeared unto many.  See Matthew 27:50-53

Jesus as the Son of God had a human body.  Even when the human body died Jesus still possessed the Power of God.  When the Son of God and Man  (Jesus) died something significant had to occur in the physical realm. The result were earthquakes and the veil of the temple rent in twain.  Jesus as a dead man went down into hell and preached to the saints held captive.  He brought them out with Him at His resurrection.   See Isaiah 26:19 and Ezekiel 37:4-14.

In the garden of Gethsamane the angels came and ministered supernatural Godly anointing.  This was so Jesus could be obedient to the Father and complete the work God gave Him to do.  Jesus could only see the Father on His throne.  All Jesus could hear was the Words spoken directly out of the mouth of the Father. Jesus only heard the Father's voice.  Jesus completed each prophetic word uttered by the Old Testament prophets.  

God's plan of salvation was complete.  Jesus was the war and every battle.  He defeated death, sin, the devil and set all the captives free.  Now to those who believe on Him we can live under the covenant blessing of God.  Do not allow any picture other than God's victorious picture  to exist.  Pass through daily circumstances. Do not build a house and spend the rest of your life living in trouble.  Move through and move on victorious is Jesus.
