The Fourth Watch

ONE NATION UNDER GOD – ONE CHURCH UNDER CHRIST

This is a time more than ever that the true remnant of the Church of Jesus must lay down differences and come together in unity.  We are in the last days – and I don’t say this because it’s politically correct.  I say it because it is true.  And because it is true, we must start living like it’s true, speaking like it’s true, and get busy being about our Father’s business like it’s true!

It is time to take a stand for truth and what we believe as Christians.  Not as Christians in name only but as true followers of our Lord.  We need to lay down all compromise, bury tolerance for everything unholy, draw a line in the sand with the blood of Jesus and take an immovable stand for truth!

The church hasn’t been stuck in neutral it’s gone into reverse.  You would never suspect that the power that raised Christ from the dead resides in us and manifests his power through us.  We act in such fear when it comes time to take a stand.  This is our country and we need to take it back.  Hell has had its way long enough!  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

People in other countries are so hungry for God and some of us are just hungry for the natural food at the restaurant after church.  Church as usual is being served up from many pulpits and I say it’s time to tear down the “high places”, open our mouths and decree and declare what the Bible says, what Jesus said and stand in the dominion he gave to us. 

It’s time we put on our spiritual armor and wage war against the enemy of God and the enemy of our soul.  To stop talking about taking things back but put action to these idle words – and not just cars and houses – but our health, our children, our peace, our joy, our cities and again our country.

I will not be silent that Jesus is Lord.  I will not apologize to any man or religion for my RELATIONSHIP with the Lord Jesus.  They did not die for my sins – he did!  He is the one who has healed my body many times, brought me back from physical death and spiritual death, he is the one who comforts me, directs my paths, and provides for me.  He is the only one who ever remains faithful to me even when I fall short.

I will lift his name on high and honor and serve him – the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.  And one day, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  I choose to do it now, willingly and thankfully for all he has done for me.

So rise up Church!  Let us tear down the kingdom of darkness and establish the Kingdom of our God on earth here and now!!!

The Strongman of Religion is the gatekeeper of the Church!

This is one very strong reason why the Church cannot “see”, cannot war, sit in their comfort zone, doing what they have always done, staying spiritually where they have always been, and being as as “spiritual Prostitutes” committing “spiritual fornication” by turning from their First Love!

People stuck in the mire of region and the “status quo” fight this kind of teaching because it is not familiar and not what they have been taught.  It stirs up complacency and apathy and do nothing going nowhere mindsets.

In wars, those that went to the front lines had to be a certain breed.  They were trained and knowledgeable of their enemy.  Able to lead the way and think outside the box.

                      REMEMBER:  GOD IS NOT IN THE BOX

Well, if we are in the last days – the end times as we and others espouse, then it is time to be a full fledged front line ministry warrior – showing and teaching and training and praying for others to help in this battle.  To hold up the arms of the different leaders of these battles who are following orders from the Captain of the Host – Jesus!  To be Aarons.

“Just as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.”  But even though the Lord is with us there are times the deliverers of today need their arms held up for certain battles.

Maintain your “First Love.”
Get in the place God has legally set aside for us.
Stay focused – no distractions.
God is connecting and disconnecting things.
Surround yourself with “go-getters.”
Covenant relationship means everything.

God is calling the 21st century church to a level of warfare that brings heaven down to earth.  As we pray we must have a vision of what is going on in the spirit realm.  If we cannot “see” a thing, it cannot come to us.  We must see spiritually and speak what we see so we can have what we say.  Call forth your destiny.

LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE SPIRIT ©
The Government of God

Isaiah 9:6a:  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:  and the government shall be upon his shoulder…

Spiritual Law supersedes natural law!
If we stand in and exercise our Legal Rights in the Spirit under the Government of God, we can all be spiritual lawyers decreeing, declaring and carrying out the enforcement of God’s government - his spiritual laws – his principals – his precedents!!!  To do this we must know and have an understanding of legal spiritual authority and law.  We must stand in the authority, dominion and power Jesus gave us by the finished work of the cross.

Hosea 4:6  My people perish from a lack of knowledge.

All things are relative to our belief system and how we perceive and “see” things and their relativity to us personally and our world.  If we are not rooted and grounded in the Truth – the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ – who IS Truth, our view – our vision can be grossly distorted.  It is like Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity – the bending of light by gravity leading to a phenomenon of gravitational lensing…like the “bent” mirrors of a Fun House gives grossly distorted images.

There are 2 legal systems:
1.  In the spirit realm – God’s Constituted Government
2. The natural realm – Our Constitution and lower court laws

We should never compromise the things of God, the government of God, the spiritual laws and precedents of God.  We must have zero tolerance for all who oppose and all that opposes the Supreme Court of Heaven and we should never apologize for these truths!  If we do not know and adhere to truth – the Truth being he who is the way and the Truth – then the relativity of things and our view of the enemy and his demonic laws and precedents will be distorted and we will not see things clearly as we should.  We shall be as perceiving ourselves and the world as through that distorted mirror.

We must take a stand in the spiritual realm of court and command a reversal of demonic laws and decrees and practices and precedents!

The earthly realm in many areas is set up by unjust demonic laws with ruling spirits.  There are principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.  When we sin through ommission, commission, thought, word or deeds we give satan legal jurisdiction. 

KEY:  WHEN YOU OR I SIN, THE DEVIL IS TAKING LEGAL JURISDICION IN THE SPIRITUAL COURT OF LAW AND IS FILING AN APPLICATION FOR A MOTION OF SIN IN THE EARTH. 

Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

The enemy continually files motions of sin against us.  This is a spiritually legal transaction.  Lawyers do it in the natural realm and the devil does it in the spiritual realm.  He can win by default if we do not respond. 

Definition of a Precedent:  establishing a principle or rule that will be upheld when deciding subsequent cases.  This Legal Demon called Precedent must be blocked!  All demonic activity regarding spritual law must be blocked!  We must be in continuous intercession and warfare concerning these things.  This is not a part time position – we must be 24/7 Chrisitians.  Do you want part time benefits or full time benefits?  Do you want a full inheritance or leftovers? The Father gave all he had – his only Son.  Can we do any less?  Christianity is not about CONVENIENCE.  The “C” word is COMMITMENT and another “C” word is COST.  I am sold out, my mind is made up!

In Hebrew His name is “shofet” or Judge.  He is a God of love but he is also “shofet.”  We have the authority and the obligation to come before the Supreme Court of Heaven – before the Supreme “Shofet” and file petitions against the enemy, to petition this Heavenly Supreme Court of appeals to revers, tear down and t0tally obliterate wrongful and pervers things pertaining to spiritual law. 

To pray to hang the jury of the darkside.  To bind up the Lord of the Opening:  Baal Peor’s of litigation.  Petition heaven on behalf of ourselves, our family, our country and all that is righteous.  Decree and declare all trespassing spirits to go from our lives, our businesses, our ministry affairs.  To motion the host of God to stand and block demonic lawsuits in the spirit.  Decree and declare all demonic litigation back into the vortex of hell.  To close every Akashic Record against me and my loved ones.  That the sword of the Spirit would penetrate and overturn every lie and motion and spiritually demonic legal action against the people of God.

The finished work of the Cross was enough provision for all things.  Jesus declared it himself before he took his last breath and gave up the Ghost…

                                     IT IS FINISHED!!!  
 Case Closed! 

Y ME LORD?

We cannot let the daily ups and downs – the trials and tribulations of life make us double minded to the things of God and the Word of God.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Where would we be if Jesus did not accept the great affliction, trial and suffering of the cross?

Jesus led by example. He gave his life – he accepted the challenge of the cross. Can we do any less when he asks us to take up our cross daily? Each time we have a trial it is to strengthen us not to destroy us. It is to build us up in faith and spiritual strength for the days that lie ahead and enable us to be victorious.

Jesus said, “It is finished”. And he meant it. His death, burial and resurrection made provision for all we would ever need. He restored our dominion, gave us all authority and power in him.

I will not “slap” God in the face by not walking in this authority, dominion and power he gave us all through his trials and the tribulation of the cross.

That is what we do when we complain and murmur instead of believing he has truly overcome the world!

THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH

PEOPLE ASK WHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH? I SAY WHERE IS THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH? THE TIME IS COME, THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR THE CHURCH TO STAND UP WITH BOLDNESS IN THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH AND WHEREVER OUR FEET ARE PLANTED SHOULD BE A SPIRITUAL
MT. CARMEL WHERE WE ARE CALLING …DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE ENEMY, TEARING DOWN THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS AND ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD!

IT IS TIME FOR A NO COMPROMISE – FOR THE THINGS OF GOD, ZERO TOLERANCE – FOR THE DEVIL – NO APOLOGY – FOR THE TRUTH SPIRIT TO PREVAIL IN THE TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS.

WE HAVE THE ANSWER FOR ALL OF LIFES QUESTIONS AND HIS NAME IS JESUS!!!

IT IS TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO BE A CHURCH THAT TURNS OVER THE TABLES OF THE MONEYCHANGERS. JESUS LED US BY EXAMPLE IN ALL THINGS AND WE SHOULD BE AS RADICAL AS HE WAS FOR WHAT IS RIGHTEOUS, TRUE AND HOLY!!!

THE TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS

It is time for the church to be the church and kill the entertainment spirit. We should come together not with a “what’s in it for me” attitude and worrying about the carnal “Sunday Fashion Show”, but to gather together in spirit and truth to minister unto our God. We must stop calling him”Santa Claus” and just seek his face for who he is – God – the great I Am!

We must take a stand for what is righteous, holy and true and get back to a No Compromise, Zero Tolerance, No Apology stance and destroy the Status Quo. The time is at hand – there is a lost and dying world that needs to repent, turn from their wicked and self serving ways and reach out to a loving forgiving Savior.

Jesus is the answer for all things in life

December has been a strong month of growth formulated by former plantings and bathed in prayer.  Sowing is a strong principle always followed by reaping.  And while one calendar year is ending and we are moving in the natural to 2011, I see in the Spirit a continuance of growth and an escalation in the Spirit bringing forth the Kingdom of our God to earth.

I proclaim that 2011 will be the year we see our futures manifested into our present and the fulfillment of all promised by our dear Lord and Savior.  Destiny fulfilled.

I decree and declare a continuance of divine health, peace and joy, and that prosperity in all areas of our lives be our inheritance.  That revelation knowledge be our portion and all family members be called out of darkness this year into the marvelous light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus.

That we the church will stand for righteousness, walk in righteousness and BE righteous.

For all this to manifest, you must remember when you speak you are prophesying your tomorrow – your future.

In lieu of making carnal resolutions we cannot keep by the arm of the flesh, let your words line up with what God says and prophesy with your lips those things in your future into your here and now!

TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE!

DISOBEDIENCE IS REBELLION!

There needs to be a shaking – a 10 point Spiritual Earthquake on the Richter scale!

We need a Holy Ghost Tsunami to flood and cleanse the church and the people who call themselves by His Holy Name and act like hell while doing it.

WE NEED A BAPTISM OF FIRE…. a refiner’s fire

There are only 2 sides – 2 choices  -

God or the devil …..Good or evil…..Light or Darkness….Heaven or Hell

but ONLY 1 way to salvation – JESUS!

Choose THIS day who you will serve because tomorrow is not guaranteed.

We say we love God but we spend more time giving homage to satan with our conversation and our actions.

True believers speak the answer according to the Word of God.

The rest hash and rehash over and over all the “garbage”!

You are creating your tomorrow – your future – your destiny with your mouth.  LIFE AND DEATH IS IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.  We quote it and then ignore it!

Tomorrow you will eat the fruit of your lips – if it is sour or rotten it is by your own words and no one else is to blame.

Worship

The Shofar(s): A New Sound of War / Victory / Deliverance

When we worship the Lord we are sending spiritual weapons into the spirit realm.When we open our mouths and shout unto God we sounding our “shofar”.

There are different sounds demonstrating different types of assault on the enemies of the Kingdom of God.

Num 10:9  And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the shofars, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.

When we blow the trumpet or shofar in Zion, when we sound the alarm by opening our shofar, our mouths in shouts unto God, He hears and responds and delivers us from the snare of the fowler.

Is 58:1  Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions, and the house of Jacob their sins.

THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET IS COMPARED TO A PROPHET’S VOICE.

Judges 7 the story of Gideon:

God instructed Gideon to go to battle with (a pitcher and torch) victuals and their trumpets [fire and rain] in one hand and a shofar in the other hand. Instructed by the Lord, they arose, and Gideon divided the 300 men into three companies putting a trumpet (shofar) in every man’s right hand, with empty pitchers and lamps within the pitchers in the left hand.

At the appointed time they blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers and held the lamps in their left hands.  And the Lord delivered the enemy into Gideon’s hands.  They turned on each other and killed one another with their own swords.

Whether blowing the shofar made from the actual ram’s horn or using our own shofars – our mouths – we can bring about similar results over our cities, meetings, situations in our families, etc. creating opposition to the enemy in the heavenlies. Opposition against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places.

During prayer and worship, blowing the shofar disturbs the spiritual atmosphere and sends forth unseen weapons of warfare creating an open heaven for the power and majesty of God to manifest. Using the shofar is NOT a formula, but should be incorporated as the Spirit leads.  And we always have the shofar of our mouths to praise Him lest the rocks cry out.

The first time the shofar was used was at the giving of the law – the 10 Commandments.

Numbers 10:9 Tells us when we are attacked by the enemy, we need to sound an alarm with the shofar to be saved from our enemies.  It is essential in warfare!

As with Isaac, the Lord provided a ram for Abraham to sacrifice, thus saving his son.   The ram’s horn – the shofar –represents ram caught in thicket representing deliverance and a type and shadow of Jesus as our sacrifice and deliverer.

So we are saved from our enemies – they are stilled.

As God is restoring all things, so is He restoring the sounding of the shofar in the assembly.  As we sound the shofar of our mouths worshipping  and singing praises to God, making melody on musical instruments, as we come into unison, into one accord during these times we can enter as priests into His presence.  We can come into the Holy of Holies. We leave the outer court and the inner court behind.

This is a kiros moment in time ordained by God where heaven is mirrored on earth.  A place where whatever is bound in heaven is bound in earth and whatever is loosed in heaven is loosed on earth.  This is the place where true worshippers worship Him in spirit and in truth not caring about what is in His hand but seeking only Him.

This is not a time to lose focus.  Each one of us has been given a specific assignment by the Lord.  Aside from the Lord Jesus being first in our lives, our assignment is generally the thing we are most passionate about.  What is your vision?  What are you passionate about?  Pray and follow the directions of the Holy Spirit.  It is imperative more than ever to stay focused and on track with our part in implementing the Kingdom Of God here on earth.  We must also remember that the government and the principles of God supersede the natural government in this temporal world we live in.  Isaiah 4:6 tells us,….”and the government shall be upon his shoulder…..”  Since the government is upon his shoulder and the Lord’s government supersedes natural government, we can stand in the dominion he has given us and speak that which is not as though it were.  To call forth from the future our destiny into our present by the words of our mouth remembering that death and life are in the power of the tongue.  What you create today with your words will be your tomorrow and what you speak tomorrow will be your future.  Edify yourself with the truth of the Word and limit the influx of lies and spin that is all around you.  Meditate on the Word and all that is pure, and righteous and holy.  “Fear not little flock, fear not.”

Focus on the Lord Jesus – and STAY FOCUSED!
