Assignment

2008 is a NEW year. For me and for everyone else.

I started the first few hours of 2008 in prayer and received revelations from the Lord. One of these revelations, which became clearer to me as the days passed, was my assigment to encourage and pray for young men, beginning with the four teenagers in my congregation the Lord showed me while in prayer.

In the weeks that followed since that commission, God has been giving me prophetic words for the Four and He's been showing me who they are in the Spirit. One of the things the Lord told me about them is that they are great men of God. I really believe the Lord is leading me to guide these young men and just cover them in prayer. It's not an easy task.

As I continue to entrust them to the Lord, He keeps giving me nuggets about each young man's spiritual identity. God would give me words like "integrity", "obedience", "victorious" and "intensity" to describe each of the Four. I get the feeling that I'm unequal to the task but I guess that's a good thing -- it proves that this is not me and that this is a God thing.

I also believe that I am to reinforce and remind these guys of their spiritual identities. Aside from including them in my prayers, the Lord has also given me prophetic words for them through poetry.

This is something that really is new to me and I am in over my head on this one. But I have heard the call to "watch over" these guys for this season and I know that since it was God who called, He will be the one to enable.

"Father, use me to bless the Four. I am a vessel of Your grace and You know what is best. Lead me and use me, Holy Spirit, in this assignment."

Proverbs 3:5-7 [The Remix]

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
[Worry not when the waiting starts]

And lean not on your own understanding
[Please try not to be so demanding]

In all your ways acknowledge Him
[He may not give in to your every whim]

And He will make your paths straight
[If you don't stray while still in the wait]

Do not be wise in your own eyes
[Don't look around for any other prize]

"Lord, have your way in me!"

Raise Your Voice

My friend Edsel and I were leading worship the other night during our discipleship class and there the Lord wonderfully ministered to the students. Our instructor didn't show up so we were able to use the worship time to soak in the presence of God.

As the worship flowed, I felt the Spirit lead me to encourage my fellow students to raise their voice in praise to our God. The Lord put these words in my mouth: "If you are struggling, raise your voice to God in worship! If you have worries and problems, raise your voice to God in worship! If you have mountains standing before you, giants in your way, raise your voice to God in worship! Praise Him with your voice because it is your weapon of warfare!"

Then I remembered what my worship pastor and some of the ministers in my church said about the power of our words. We can use our voice to declare victories in our lives, to render the enemy powerless with the word of our testimony and to pull down strongholds by declaring the Lordship of Jesus.

Just as God's Word has power to create the universe and everything in it, our words have power too. As creations made in the image of God, He has given us the same creative power of the spoken word. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:21 that "death and life are in the power of the tongue."

There is so much a declaration of faith can do in the spiritual. Our voices raised in faith can mean death to strongholds and principalities, bring an end to struggles and striving, break bondages and set us free. Our voices raised in worship can bring life to a dry and dying spirit, bring healing to the sick, usher in breakthroughs in all areas in our lives.

The Lord has been showing me and teaching me since last year that my voice, my declarations, my worship are strong weapons of spiritual warfare. And from Salome, my worship pastor, I have learned to raise up a shout and war in worship with my voice.

As worshippers of the Living God, we must learn to use our voice to speak life to one another and to the lost. We must learn to speak God's powerful words into our circumstances and declare His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

There is so much power in our tongue, in our words. When we pray and when we worship God with raised voices, demons tremble, cloudless skies break, kings and queens shake and circumstances bow down to Him.

Don't stay silent. Raise your voice and praise the Almighty God, and see how much power can be released in your life.

Building Up the Living Stones

Our focus should be to continually build up people, and not ministries.
. . .
As we build together, dear ones, some stones may seem insignificant, but it's so very crucial not to despise even one small stone. For, "Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be" Job 8:7. Let's keep in mind, "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world." In other words, we must nurture and edify every one of the Father's children as they grow up to be kings, presidents, justices and queens.
. . .
The army of God has been in quite a season of realignment. Some have been obediently deported several times, some resisted, and others have gone AWOL. Many have moved from the tail to the head. Now, we are entering into a season with synchronized marching coming forth.
. . .
Every gift in the Body is necessary and all are about to increase and soar--as they are uncovered. It is time, friends. We must rebuild the temples--the people of God! Each person bears relevant gifts within them from birth, for the Creator lives in us! Sadly, some virtues can be stifled early on, perhaps as soon as we can hold a crayon and someone says, "Now, stay in the lines."
. . .
May we be like our Savior, ready and willing to identify, bless, and release what the Father has given within our own spheres of influence. May we come up from underneath, undergirding the stones, giving strong support, remembering that foundations are not seen.
. . .


excerpts from the prophetic word released by Paulette Reed on the Elijah List website.

Awake, o Sleeper

1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back.

Raise your voice like a trumpet.

Declare to my people their rebellion

and to the house of Jacob their sins.

2 For day after day they seek me out;

they seem eager to know my ways,

as if they were a nation that does what is right

and has not forsaken the commands of its God.

They ask me for just decisions

and seem eager for God to come near them.

3 'Why have we fasted,' they say,

'and you have not seen it?

Why have we humbled ourselves,

and you have not noticed?'

"Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please

and exploit all your workers.

4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,

and in striking each other with wicked fists.

You cannot fast as you do today

and expect your voice to be heard on high.

5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,

only a day for a man to humble himself?

Is it only for bowing one's head like a reed

and for lying on sackcloth and ashes?

Is that what you call a fast,

a day acceptable to the LORD ?

6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to loose the chains of injustice

and untie the cords of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free

and break every yoke?

7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry

and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—

when you see the naked, to clothe him,

and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,

and your healing will quickly appear;

then your righteousness [a] will go before you,

and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;

you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,

with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry

and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,

then your light will rise in the darkness,

and your night will become like the noonday.

11 The LORD will guide you always;

he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land

and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring whose waters never fail.

12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins

and will raise up the age-old foundations;

you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,

Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath

and from doing as you please on my holy day,

if you call the Sabbath a delight

and the LORD's holy day honorable,

and if you honor it by not going your own way

and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

14 then you will find your joy in the LORD,

and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land

and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob."

The mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Psalm 23 [This is the Remix]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
[Nor shall I be longing for things the greedy flaunt]

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
[Where I can release life's many pressures]

He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
[Then reminds me He's still God and I'm not in control]

He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
[He brings me back to His road when the other paths I take]

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
[And intentionally or otherwise be short or run out of breath]

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
[And I will not I fret or fuss or worry]

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
[They keep me where I need to be]

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
[You also prevent me from turning into one of these]

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
[Your love and kindness through me hopefully shows]

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
[Till the sun hides from day and the moon from night]

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
[No, nothing can top that ever!]

Prophetic Word for the Philippines

This is the full text of the prophecy spoken by Cindy Jacobs over the Philippines...

The Lord would say to the Philippines... I am shaking everything that can be shaken so that no man can glory in what I will do. For I have waited for a generation that I could raise up a purity and a holiness in. And I am raising up firebrands! There is a forerunner anointing coming upon the youth of the Philippines that will prepare the way of the Lord, even into the Middle East . Look and see what I will do in Mindanao . For I am going to visit in a way that you cannot imagine! I am coming to Mindanao, says the Lord, as God and the Lord of Hosts, and I am going to start appearing. As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show Myself to the guerilla leaders. I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest, the places where the guerillas, insurrection have been the strongest.

And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles! I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen! For Indonesia , they had a mighty rushing wind. But in the Philippines they will have the fire from heaven that will begin to fall! And this will be a purging fire! And I will say, I will visit even as if in a day, says God. Do not think that I am not able to come in a day and begin to unravel the iniquities of the nation, says the Lord! I am going to visit the military. I am getting ready to come among the young in the military. And the Lord says, there's going to be a revolution of righteousness that comes within the military. I'm getting ready to dethrone everything that needs to be dethroned, for even the bowls of heaven are full. Oh, I see the bowls in heaven are just getting ready to be tipped over the Philippines and I am going to spill out my glory!

And the Lord says, I will remove the shame that Satan has tried to put upon this nation! And the Lord says, look and see, for even the blood of the martyrs cries out from Saudi Arabia! The blood of the martyrs cries out from those Islamic nations, and my Filipino people that have laid their lives down. Do not think I haven't seen it! Do not think I am looking away! Do not think I do not see you! Do not think I do not see you, Philippines , for I see you! You are the apple of my eye! You are a treasure unto me! This is the day and this is the hour when I begin to change everything, says the Lord! I'm going to change the judicial system. I'm going to dethrone corrupt judges. I'm getting ready to deal with the police force. I'm going to expose, expose, expose, expose!

And the Lord says, look and see what I will do! For I will open up my treasure chest from the Philippines ! And I am going to release finances for the Philippines that will surprise and shake even Hong Kong ! For I am getting ready to move a distribution of wealth, says God. And I am getting ready to open the oil! I am getting ready to open that which is in the ocean! I'm getting ready to bring forth a revolution even in the economic systems, in the finance systems!

Look to the university in Manila , says God. For I am going to bring a revival that the... Oh my Lord!... the Lord says, not hundreds, but thousands and thousands and thousands are going to get saved! The Lord says, can I touch a whole university? Yes, I can touch a whole university! I can come with My glory and I can come with My power in ways that you cannot imagine! For I am coming, says God! I am coming and I will remain, says the Lord.

The Pinnacle of Obedience

High up above the peak he stands
To gaze upon his promised land
Supported by God's gracious hand
On the pinnacle of obedience

A servant, steadfast on his knees
With ever ready heart to please
Submission is his own treatise
He illustrates obedience

Through storms of life, through darkest night
He keeps his heart close to the Light
He's loyal to the Savior's might
His face turned to obedience

Wherever he may be or go
His humble heart will keep him low
The actions of his life will show
The meaning of obedience

To father's heart and mother's care
To leaders -- they will be aware
To God, of all, Who's always there
His life lived in obedience

No mortal thought, no human fear
No powers dark, no mournful tear
Can take way what God sees dear
The fire of obedience

The pinnacle of obedience stands
A light for all to understand
Much more than sacrifice in hand
Obedience to the Lord's commands

- - - - -

For JI, who is supported by a gracious God:
"Stand on the pinnacle of obedience, my friend and see how far the Lord will support you!"

Rest

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him... Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him." [Psalm 62: 1, 5]

There has been so much striving in my life. Striving to overcome sin. Striving to resist the devil and take authority over him. Striving to get more blessings from God. Striving to become a better Christian. Striving for more anointing. Striving to grow. Striving to be closer to the Father.

Over the past four years of my life I went through many seasons in the Spirit that exposed me to these areas in my life where I strived instead of finding rest in the Lord. There's always been this part of me that wants to do all I can to accomplish something. "I have to do my part! I must put in my contribution to make things work!" Or so I thought.

In the last two years, the Father has been gradually revealing His love for me -- His unconditional love for me as a son. Through the preaching in my church, reading the Bible, getting myself involved in ministry, and spending time with God, He has shown to me that one can only do so much before getting worn out, burned out and wiped out. There were times before when I'd find myself spiritual dry and weary because I had "done" so many things for the Lord without spending much time with the Lord. Or as others would put it, "Busy in the Kingdom, but not busy with the King."

I guess it boils down to Man always wanting to do something, add something, achieve something, be something that we end up in dire straits just to get the feeling that we have "done something" for the Lord to make ourselves worthy. But God has been gracious enough to show me that this really isn't necessary.

In the last half of 2007, the point that God has been driving home to me was: Relax my son. Take it easy. I've got it all under control. And I got it. As a matter of fact God gave me an acronym for it from always having to look at the big banner (that spelled one Name), which used to hang behind our pulpit: JESUS! This has come to stand for Just Enjoy the Savior's Unwavering Sweetness, often morphing the last two words to either Unfailing Salvation, or Unlimited Supply, or some other variations that come to mind.

Rest. Everybody's looking for it consciously or otherwise. People look for it in so many [wrong] places and never get what they are looking for. I know. I've been there and done that. But true rest -- for the soul and spirit, not just for the body -- can be found in Christ alone. Verses of Psalm 62 goes like this: "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him... Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him."

How cool is it for the children of God to find complete rest in Him? I mean He created us; gave us everything we need for life and godliness; gave us authority over the devil; made a way for us to escape temptation; gave us a ticket into heaven for free; gave His Son to die for us on the cross; sent the Holy Spirit to teach us His ways; gives us strength when we wait on Him; goes before us and fights our battles for us; calls us sons and daughters, and the only thing He wants from us the most is just to be intimately in love with Him. How cool is that?

We have an awesome God. We can find rest in Him. It's the kind of rest that the world could never offer or match up to.

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him... Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him."

And now I can rest.

The Ballad of Victorious Sword

The youth of a man with gifted vision
And faith to test the test of time
Was prophesied of revival mission
Encased in Father's glorious shine


A gifted healer of modern things
With oil, anointed by King's delight
Efficiency, the fruit his hands to bring
Sharp as a two-edged sword with might


His blade, incisive faith, is quick
To cut through doubt and pierce through fear
His name, Victorious, thus to speak
Of Risen Lord and Savior near


Victorious Sword, o warrior true
God goes before and fights for you
Each step you take, His glory gleams
You bring forth rivers, you bring forth streams


"Sharp as a sword! Sharp as a sword!"
You stand your ground beside your Lord
"Sharp as a sword! Sharp as a sword!"
He fights for you, Victorious Sword



- - - - -


for my brother in the Lord, LB, a.k.a. "Victorious Sword".

He Led Me Here...

...and now I'm wanting more!

Commission

"The spiritual drill sergeants are being released to get the army ready for battle. The less you like your drill sergeants when in training, the more you will love them when you get into battle. Like it or not, the battles are looming. Those who are obedient are assured of victory, but those who do not follow the King will pay a most terrible price. Follow the King!" -- Rick Joyner

No More Delay

"None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed," declares the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 12:28 NASB

You Are the Devil and You Are Bad

I wrote this poem over a year ago and reading this again now, after finding it in my Gmail account, amazes me at how prophetic this poem is over my life. Pastor Joe often says something about poets being prophets who are ahead of their time, and how they often get it right.

I'm posting this poem here because now more than ever I feel the truth and the power of these words over my life.

you cannot cage me
i will not be contained
you cannot bind me
i will not be constrained
you cannot bar me
i will not heed your words
you cannot stop me
your words will not be heard

you may seem victorious
but i am victor still
you may seem successful
i am crusher of this hill
you may seem winning
i am champion all the way
you may seem pretty
i am brilliant everyday

you think you've won now
i am seated with the King
you think you've broken me
i am whole in Him
you think you've got me
i am safe in His great hand
you think you've floored me
i am righteous where i stand




you are the devil
and i'm not the one who's spending eternity in hell
you are bad
we both know who's got God on his back so well

Transplant

"For here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all over, and bring you back to your own land.

I'll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean.

I'll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you.

I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed.

I'll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.

You'll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors.

You'll be my people!

I'll be your God!"

Ezekiel 36:24-27 [The Message]

Let YOUR River Flow

New Year's Day 2008. I was in a hotel with my brother's family to witness the magnificent fireworks display over the city of Cebu to usher the new year. He had a 15th floor room. At the stroke of midnight, my brother and his family went to the lobby for a party while I decided to stay in the room. I sat in front of the window, staring down at the fireworks that the citizens of Cebu were lighting up. It was a cool view and a cool way to welcome 2008.

As the festive atmosphere continued to fill the city, I started to pray -- for myself, my family, my city, my nation. I did this while fireworks were going off here and there. Later, as the first hour of the year passed, the fireworks display became fewer and the smoke from them started to fill the city. At this sight, I thought the smoke that moved over the city was like the glory of God that hovered and swept over Cebu. I then felt like the Lord was saying to me, "This is the year that the glory of the Lord, your God will fall and rest on your city." It was a really an awesome revelation.

A few moments after that, I finished praying and decided to go to sleep. I set an alarm for 5am to get up early and pray again.

I woke up at the sound of the alarm, and went back to the window where I had prayed earlier. This time, the smoke had already cleared and the city was at crisp, new dawning day. As I was looking at the view of the city, I saw a patch of land that used to be lush greens, and it was now being paved as a commercial lot. At the time I didn't realize that it was a huge lot.

What it seemed to me, at dawn's early light, was a huge white water river flowing into Cebu City. "Where did this river come from?" was my first thought. "How did the city come up with such a huge river in the middle of the city?"

As I stared at the "river", I saw that it was really massive and mighty and it was steadily flowing into Cebu. I then felt the Lord say to me, "This year, a huge flow of the River will come over this city." I thanked the Lord for this word, for what I believe He will do to this city. My spirit rejoiced at this revelation.

Today, as I went back to work, I checked out the ElijahList website and got hit hard by what I read: "Get Ready For the Ride--We Are About to Experience the Tsunami of the Holy Spirit!" The prophetic word by Tarrie Furr was about interpreting dreams, and the dream that was being interpreted in the text was that of a huge wave of the Spirit coming over the Body of Christ. It was an amazing confirmation of what the Lord had told me on January 1. There is going to be a huge flow of His river in Cebu and His children will be moving their giftings and anointings, not on our own might or power, but by His Spirit! I am excited!

- - - - -

Lord, thank You for what You have accomplished in us in 2007. I am so grateful that You have provided everything we need for life and godliness. You go ahead of us and fight our battles for us. You supply every need according to Your glorious riches. You give us grace in times of need, strength in times of weakness, guidance in times of confusion, assurance when we worry and courage when we fear. God, You've done it all for us Lord: covered all the bases, crossed all the T's, dotted all the I's. You've laid the foundation of our faith and completed our salvation on the cross.

Father, as You pour out Your glory over Cebu in 2008, God, I pray that You make us worthy vessels to receive and carry Your presence with us. As You let Your glory rest on my city, Lord, I pray that those who do not believe in You will finally be convinced and awed by the signs, wonders and miracles that are manifested in Your presence. Jesus, as that huge flow of the river comes through Cebu, I pray that we will all be able to ride that wave Lord, each one in the way You intend for us to ride it. God, let Your river flow and let it flow mightily through Cebu City, Lord, that Your Name be glorified, God. Amen!
