God Verifies Messages!

Every so often, God verifies things for me in a special way. It started in January of 2016 when I sought confirmation that we should give 10% to support the Jewish people. God verified this should be done in a miraculous way:

In a single day, more than 500 people visited my website from Israel. It was exactly 10% of the all time total hits on my website! (Read that complete story, CLICK HERE)

A Gift Especially for You!

As I prayed and asked God what to say for the Christmas meeting of 2018, He was very clear: He had a gift for every one of His children. Here is a brief video with that gift:

Here is the video of the testimonies that came after the gift was given. These are regular people stating how God has shown up in their lives... you may be surprised and what means the most to those who have experienced Him.

Puffed-Up Soul

 

 

VIDEO: The Biggest Danger for Every Christian

 

Narrow is the path that leads to life… (Matthew 7:14)   

The word “life” is from the Greek word zoe, which means not only “an active and vigorous life in God” here on Earth but also the promise of “everlasting life.” Many Christians focus on the fact that they have accepted Jesus as Lord, and in doing so they receive Heaven as their final destination. Meanwhile, they are not experiencing the abundance of God’s presence that brings both healing and provision in this life.   

I have encountered many good-hearted Christians who firmly believe they are on this narrow path, yet they haven’t found healing or financial blessing for themselves. Their families are torn apart and their children or their health and finances are under assault. This is a good indication that some of these well-meaning brothers and sisters have fallen prey to one of the biggest dangers of the narrow path: a puffed-up soul.   

God in the Middle of Man

On Monday the 19th I did a very special message for the American Holiday, Thanksgiving. It came from a prayer session where the Holy Spirit revealed 4 Steps to Walking into Your Destiny. Obedient to my Guide, I delivered the message on the week I was supposed to be spending with my family.

I was shocked to see the Holy Spirit confirm the message. If you are a regular reader on this blog, you may remember that sometimes my Guide will confirm important events with massive hits on my blog from Israel. These hits do not correspond to an article or a page - they just appear out of nowhere. Here is what happened on the 19th:

4 Steps to Walk into Your Destiny

Last night I was crying out to the Lord… literally crying. The path to my destiny has been so long, so hard, I felt like I was hanging on by my fingernail. This was when the Holy Spirit began to show me four distinct steps that lead to our destiny… well, my destiny. I believe that this is God’s usual path for us and I hope that by sharing what I have learned, it will help you walk into your destiny quicker.

Our Authority

Are there limits to man’s authority on this Earth? Are there consequences if we step outside our authority? Perhaps the question to begin with is, “Once we are Christians, can our wrong actions be held against us?” 

Removing Hidden Demonic Attachments

VIDEO: Hidden Spirits

The Holy Spirit brought a recent revelation to us about a new “tool” in the Courts of Heaven. A pattern has emerged: Often people are cleared of charges and even receive healing, but something still keeps popping up every now and then. They come back to the Courts and receive charges, but a short time later, it resurfaces. It is like a demon is dealt with and slides out of view only to put on a new mask, using a slightly different approach to interfere with their life! 

There are many ways a demon can “hide.” One is to pose as a member of the Trinity, most often, the Holy Spirit. Once, a demon tried to do this with me. If they can get us to believe they are speaking for God, this imitation can lead us astray. Here is a good example of why so many Christians wind up in a ditch: 

I had been experiencing correction in the form of vertigo. When I would walk in the wrong direction, depending on the severity of the offence, I would get dizzy each time I would stand. At the worst point, I even threw up because the room spun for so long! This was a repetitive process: 

1. Go to the Courts 
2. Find the cause 
3. Repent for the sin 
4. Cover it with the blood 
5. Get the charges dismissed 

Demonic Attachments

VIDEO: Demonic Attachments

Levels of Demonic Attachments 

Over the last few years, my team and I have taken hundreds of people to the Courts of Heaven to become free of attacks from the enemy. Some of the questions I am asked quite often are:  

• What does it feel like when you are under an assault by the enemy?  
• What is part of normal life?  
• What is an attack, resulting from a demon or a demonic attachment?  

To really understand these questions, let’s look at the commonly accepted, well-known, tactics of the enemy. There are three stages of influence demons can have upon a person. 

1. Depression 
2. Oppression 
3. Possession 

Why Waste Time Having Fun?

On a recent visit to the Courts of Heaven I received some instruction. Two of the seers gave this report:

Attentive, Busy, Self forgiveness, Selflessness: Love your neighbor as yourself, It is alright to love yourself otherwise how will you know how to love others as yourself. I see you running around giving instructions, Commanding around nonstop without end, no resting, then I see you sitting down exhausted. Lynn your body can’t handle this. It is not by power nor by might but by my Spirit. 

Let go and rest a bit more.

Along with this were instructions to take time to “enjoy” life. The description was very accurate. Everyday I didn’t stop tending to the Agape Christian Fellowship (Agape-CF) website and the Courts of Heaven Facebook group until my brain was exhausted and I couldn’t think any more. But why was this a bad thing? I had a list of things that still needed to be done!

It is About Balance...

I was having trouble sleeping at night, so I decided I'd give up coffee one Tuesday morning to see if that would help. By noon, a caffeine headache was blooming and I had the Agape Fellowship meeting in less than an hour.

Laying on the couch, praying, I asked the Lord, "Take this headache away if you don't want me drinking that cup of coffee that's brewing during the meeting. Otherwise I have no choice!" The pain building behind my temples left.

Slightly bummed at thinking I would have to give up my morning cup of coffee, I began the meeting. During the opening time of worship I met the Lord in the Secret Place. We danced together as is our custom.

How God Sees Us!

It was on the Feast of Trumpets, during worship at our weekly Agape Fellowship meeting, I was once again in the Secret Place. After dancing with Jesus during the first song, I appeared in the river with God as Abba: I was a little child. He lifted me up and I hugged His neck telling Him how much I love being with Him. 

After hugging me back He turned me around and pulled me into Himself, I was residing inside God. I could see through His eyes instead of my own. Here is what I experienced:

Strengthening Our Spirits: Why, When & How

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Many Christians have been taught we have a spirit, soul and body but not too many understand the role of each of them. Some believe the soul and spirit are the same but that is not scriptural.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”  Hebrews 4:12

1/2 the Revelation - Miraculous Confirmation

I often hear from the Lord through my online stats. Without doing anything new, downloads of my book or website hits, will suddenly shoot through the roof when the Lord brings me a new revelation. I looked at the Amazon Kindle downloads for my free books and instantly knew God was saying something.

I had two spikes in downloads in the last month: when the second spike was twice the size of the first, I knew God was pointing something out. Here is when they happened:

The Awakening & the Feast of Trumpets

As discussed in the last post (CLICK HERE to read it) the miraculous sign of the Bible flowing with oil was announcing the Outpouring that would come after the Awakening which began in September of 2017. I didn’t realize it until I began writing about it, but I arrived in Dalton, GA, thanks to flight delays, on the first day of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and God has revealed the meaning of the oil when I am to be delivering His messages on the last day of this feast.

What exactly is the Awakening about? How do we know the Awakening has begun? Those are two very loaded questions, but I will try to address both here in this post.

Identify Numbers as a Sign from Heaven

A friend help me book my flights to Dalton, Georgia through an online service.  We were going to investigate the miracle of the Bible that was supernaturally flowing with oil. I don’t really look for the meanings of numbers in my daily life: if you try, you can usually find the number you are hoping to see. However, as I took my seat on the plane, I saw the flight information for my return flight for the first time. The times of the flights were so… distinct, that there was little doubt that God was saying something:

My flight leaves at: 4:44 and arrives at my layover at: 5:55

Departs again at 10:10 with a finally arrival at 2:22.

One of the first things you learn when studying dream interpretation and Biblical meanings of numbers is that 3 is God’s perfection and completion in the spirit. Three out of the 4 times for when I am traveling home have a repetition of 3 numbers and the fourth is the a double of the same number. There is no word for coincidence in the Hebrew language. So I began to look at the meanings concerning these numbers: 

More than the Courts of Heaven

There is a guidance system I have lived by as an author of secular books which I find can be aptly applied to my Christian ministry as well:

• If one person misunderstands my work, I file the information in the back of my mind for later.
• If two people misunderstand the same thing, I take a look at it to see if there is something I can fix.
• If three people have trouble understanding something, it is a problem that must be fixed. 

In the last month we have had two people misunderstand the purpose of the Courts of Heaven - Worldwide and am taking action before I receive another. Some people have looked at this group as a “Church” and found that it is lacking. I agree wholeheartedly - I was shocked when people began to refer to what I was doing as “Lynn Hardy Ministries.” I accepted this title believing that the CoH group would supplement what churches were doing and minister to one specific need: it would help the Church (world-wide body of believers) in one clearly defined area. 

The Deceptiveness of "Freely Given"

VIDEO: The Deceptiveness of Freely Given

I sought God and asked Him why the information about the Courts of Heaven wasn’t being assimilated into the body of Christ. Even when people know about it, many don't flourish in their rightful place in the Courts as children of the Most High and citizens of Heaven. I didn’t like the answer I received, not one bit. 

I have put off writing this blog until the last minute… I didn’t want to write it at all because I was afraid it would be misunderstood. Let me start by clarifying so that there will not be any misconstructions: 

In 2001, I heard God’s audible voice which said, “I bless you, miraculously, financially.” (Full story in Angels Believe in You) As a baby Christian, it took me two years to understand why God spoke in the present: I bless you. Even though nothing immediately changed, when God spoke, it was done. It was just a matter of it showing up in my life. 

Why we Have a 3 Court Visit System

The Lord has been refining our system in the Courts since we began in January, 2018. It seems He reveals a little something every month or so. At first, we were receiving and removing charges all in the same visit. This presented two problems:

1. If someone didn’t show up, a great amount of time was wasted.
2. It didn’t allow people an opportunity to seek and receive understanding from the Holy Spirit.

By March, we had broken the appointments apart, addressing one issue at a time for greater efficiency and to provide our petitioners with time to connect with the Holy Spirit on their own. Many people received dreams or visions to explain the charges. Others had family members suddenly come forward to expose where a generational curse began. 

Leaders, the Courts, and Backlash

A recent visit to the Courts of Heaven revealed several key factors about operating in the fullness of what Jesus had provided for us:

1. Freedom and healing, both physical and emotional, can come quickly.
2. The Courts of Heaven is not a “one and done,” it is a lifestyle.
3. Listening to the Holy Spirit in the Courts is crucial. 
4. Seasoned Christians can experience backlash as they operate in the Courts.

There are many testimonies in the Courts of Heaven - Worldwide Facebook group and our website Agape Christian Fellowship that show how instant healing can come in the Courts. However, what many do not tell you is that operating in the Courts is not a one time thing. It is a lifestyle; it is the beginning of a prayer life that considers the Courts of Heaven as things come up as a possible tool to use. Additional visits to the Courts of Heaven will be necessary in our life. Leaders are not exempt from this, in fact, it is quite the opposite. Returning to the Courts is vital for those who are helping others obtain all the Jesus has done in the Courtrooms of Heaven.

Courts of Heaven - Worldwide: Closed Facebook Group

The Courts of Heaven - Worldwide is part of Agape Christian Fellowship which is a church. Is it right for a part of a church to be closed? Private? Available to “members only?” I struggled with this question, and even asked the group for their opinion. I want to thank each of you for expressing your opinion. God has now shown me what to do, and as usual, given me scripture to back up His answer.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-15)

MERCY & GRACE in the Courts of Heaven

When we noticed that many people were coming under attack after their appointment, we began praying for those seeking God’s justice through our ministry. We asked that the Judge grant them grace and mercy: how could justice be done if they weren’t allowed time to understand what was against them? We saw a definite improvement in the number of people who came under attack, but there were still some whose lives were turned upside down with spiritual or even physical attacks after going to the Courts, even after their first visit. There are a couple of reasons this may occur:

The courts are not taken seriously - the petitioner doesn’t really see themselves as before the Judge so they shrug off whatever happens. 

Dreams about Our Past

Dreams about places or people from our past have a special meaning centered around that time when these things were in our lives. God brought me a dream like this that I believe will speak to many people in the body of Christ:

Dream: 

I received a phone call from a man, let’s call him Bruce, who I shared an office space with back in 2014. We weren’t partners, I had an office inside his business. He said he had some things of mine and asked me to come by and pick them up. 

The scene changed and I was in this HUGE printing company. It was everything his company wasn’t: organized and hustling with business. Bruce had a small corner space within this huge business. He showed me to some shelves of books. I went through them looking for any titles that I could use. I found a pair of paperbacks, “Route to Peace”  and many copies of an audio book I created in 2011 which I placed in a plastic bag. 

Familiar Spirits and the Courts of Heaven

VIDEO: Other Spirits

And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. (Leviticus 20:6 KJV) 

The term “familiar spirits” is used in the Bible to describe those who use information gained through demons on a regular basis. In those days, these people would have included psychics, tarot card readers, palm readers, witch doctors, along with wizards. Is it harmless to get your palm read? Or to go to a tarot card reader?  

According to the above scripture, there is a stiff penalty for associating with spirits who are not from God: He turns His face from us. This means we will lose God's favor and His presence. If you were cut off from your people, you couldn't go to the temple to pray or to offer sacrifices. For Christians this means that your prayers will be hindered if you listen to familiar spirits! 

Fruit from a Tree in Heaven

The next time I visit with the Lord, I began by dancing with Jesus as I have done many times when I worship. The second song I found myself at the river with Abba (Father God) and Jesus: I ran and jumped into Daddy’s arms, letting Him know how much I missed Him. He sat me on the ground and told me to go play. 

Darting forward, I splashed through the shallow stream, toward the Holy Spirit. My Friend ran from me and we chased each other around for a bit in a game of tag. The vision began to become clear and distinct as the child-sized member of the Trinity dashed to a tree and began climbing; I was right on his heels. 

Seeing Butterflies with Abba

My husband drove us toward Phoenix while my teenage girls slept. I had read several chapters of a book about heaven and was longing for another visit to Heaven. I slipped my earbuds in, leaned my head against the door and closed my eyes to block out the world, surrounded by my favorite worship music. I cried out for Abba, my Heavenly Father, who I have been told to call “Daddy or Papa” in the Secret Place.

Striding out of the darkness comes the familiar tall, broad-shouldered, white-haired, late 30’s figure of Daddy. I sprinted to him, leaping up where He can catch me and bring me into His arms. I wrapped my arms around His neck. “Daddy, I’ve missed you!”

Preparing your Mind for the Courts of Heaven

My definition of relaxation has changed since beginning the Courts of Heaven - Worldwide group and the Tea & Coffee meetings. I used to love to shop. Searching for rock-bottom bargains was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Today I took my teen daughter and my niece to the mall and just wanted a place to relax before I have to drive nearly 1000 miles back home. 

The Holy Spirit led me straight to a little shop that was in a dead-end which was under construction. The massage studio was clean and looked very nice; the bed was too inviting to resist. As the massage began I noticed the lyrics to the gentle music were old gospel songs turned into lullabies. 

For the first twenty minutes or so I focused and chatted with the members of the Trinity. I have greatly missed my time in the Courts during this long family trip, so I entered though I spoke no words. I figured that Jesus only shouted for Lazarus so the crowd would know that He was a messenger from God, that I could enter the Courts without speaking a word. I do, however, find it easier to stay focused when I am speaking out loud. 

In my thoughts, I called upon my Heavenly Father as Judge and took my seat as a child of the Most High and a citizen of Heaven. I could see clearly the assembly gathered in a stadium like setting as a chair flew in and came up behind me. I didn’t have an agenda, I just wanted to see my Father and learn more about the Courts. 

Jesus' Favorite Place

Life has become busier than I could have ever imagined. The Courts of Heaven - Worldwide group on Facebook took off like a rocket in a way that says, God is upon this ministry. It truly is more than a social media group. The Lord has had me organize this like a ministry; It is an organized place where people are training to help others learn and visit the Courts of Heaven with a Seer. 

In 5 months we have had more than 2500 people in the group who have wanted to know more about the Courts and receive help with prayer. Many miracles and deliverances have resulted from the dedication of those who are volunteering to help the Body of Christ. The Lord is good, those who volunteer to help others, are finding their spiritual gifts are growing and multiplying. 

The busyness kept me from quiet worship time with the Lord for months. I felt the loss, and Him calling me back to Him. Quieting my mind was harder than I thought possible. Thoughts of the needs of the group kept pushing into my mind - so many needed healing for themselves or a loved one. Worship music helped: focusing on the Word and my love for Him brought the peace and stillness I sought. 

Your Gift is Waiting for You!

VIDEO: Your Gift is Waiting for You!

I received encouragement from the Lord in the form of a dream that I know applies to the entire body of Christ. 

The Dream 

I was in a big mansion-like hotel. Some parts were a little run down. The entrance had a massive table with piles of presents stacked on it. I knew one of those was mine. My sister was there, and we were dressed in Hawaiian-type clothes, jungle print with lots of leaves and very few flowers. 

There were all kinds of activities for the hundreds of people in this large estate. Will Smith, the actor, was in charge and there was a group of actors around him – but I didn’t recognize any of them. I began hearing that Will had prayed for and healed these guys of “concussion syndrome” that occurs after head trauma. 

The time of our stay was nearing an end, and I finally got up the courage to go and investigate. I asked Will if I could pray for his son and the other movie stars. He happily led me into the group’s secluded area. 

Avoiding a Trap of Jezebel for Prayer Warriors

One of the ways that Jezebel works is through flattery which gives rise to our pride. This can be mixed with manipulation and divisiveness with someone with whom the Jezebel spirit is trying to get their way. 

We had a perfect example of this with our Courts of Heaven team: 

NO GUARANTEES IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN

This is one reason why charging for prayer is so wrong: 

When the CoH Team takes you to the Courts of Heaven, there are not guarantees for the results you will get; it isn’t up to us. We can usher you into the presence of God. He will decide if an instant miracle will happen on the first visit as it has happened a few times in the past, but there is NOTHING we can do to MAKE anything happen. GOD is in charge. 

Returning Attacks

 

Any discussion about backlash must begin with understanding Jesus and how He sets us free from sin. Paul describes this when writing to those in Rome:  

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:12-14 AKJV) 

When the Bible mentions that we are “free from sin” it is talking about sin have control over us. Under the Law, the Ten Commandments, a sacrifice had to be made so that we could be free from the consequences of sin. Jesus is our sacrifice, so we no longer have to butcher lambs and calves to pay for our sin. 

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity to iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness to holiness. (Romans 6:15-19 AKJV) 

Jezebel

 There is a principality known as Jezebel. When we discuss Jezebel in this class, we are referring to the type or class of spirits operating under this principality.

But I have this [charge] against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess [claiming to be inspired], and she teaches and misleads My bond-servants so that they commit [acts of sexual] immorality and eat food sacrificed to idols. (Revelation 2:20 AMP) 

The Jezebel spirit is so evil that in the Book of Revelation, God warns us about the consequences of hosting or tolerating this demon in the church. This applies to people who are operating under her influence. Three things that they do are mentioned: 

1. Give fake, obvious, or vague prophecies to appear prophetic 
2. Twist the Word of God   (mislead)
   
3. Lead people into sin and idolatry
   

Dangers of Praying in Agreement

VIDEO: Guides in the Courts of Heaven

Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on Earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven. (Matthew 18:19 AKJV)

Many Christians quote this verse as they pray together. We sit with heads bowed, sometimes silently, sometimes with an “amen” to declare our agreement with what has been said in prayer. If God gave any two individuals whatever they agreed upon, it would be chaos. Think about it in terms of your local government:

Let’s say two people ask in prayer to have a president removed from office, and another two decide they don’t like other heads of state and their positions on issues. After a time, we might conceivably run out of civil servants to preside over local and national governments. In fact, there may NEVER be a leader that every citizen likes. No one would last in a government office long if God said yes to the prayer of agreement by two people and consequently removed a leader with whom they disagreed.

Testimony of the Blood, Scrolls, and Books

VIDEO: Testimony of the Blood, Scrolls, and Books

Both the Old and New Testaments agree that innocent blood that has been spilled can “cry out” for justice and even vengeance.   

And to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance] (Hebrews 12:24 AMPC)   

And [the Lord] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground. (Genesis 4:10 AMPC)   

Grouping the Charges from the Courts of Heaven

Grouping Charges Video

This blog post is based on the Tea & Coffee meeting on April 17th. The information about charges begins at 31 minutes. 

If you go to the Courts of Heaven with an experienced seer (someone who can see or hear in the spirit realm) you will most likely come out with a list of words which relate to charges against you. Don’t feel overwhelmed by the number of charges. Often there are several words that will help pinpoint one charge against you. When taking others to the courts I had a vision of what was occurring:

The petitioner stepped forward when we asked for charges. The moderator/guide was slightly behind on the right. The seers were arrayed behind them. The Judge (God) was behind a huge towering podium. To the right side of the Judge was a table where our Advocate (Jesus) sat. On the other side was the adversary (Satan) who was cloaked in a cloud of darkness. 

Redefining the Deliverance Ministry

Freeing people from demonic attacks is commonly referred to as a “deliverance ministry.” The techniques for removing the enemies presence were developed in the “Jesus Movement” of the 70s. These have been used for the last 40+ years with varying degrees of success. I have heard it said by some famous evangelist (forgive me, I don’t remember which book or TV program this came from) that the deliverance movement ended because man developed a “formula” for casting-out, rebuking, and binding demons. This created a domino effect: 

1. We we stopped consulting the Holy Spirit
2. He withdrew 
3. The power left. 

During the Awakening, which began in 2018, God will be remodeling and fine-tuning this ministry as His people begin to take their rightful place in the Courts of Heaven. Recently, the Holy Spirit has revealed the truth of this in some miraculous ways. 

My step-dad has been very active in the deliverance ministry since it began. Because of this, I am very accustomed to enforcing my authority: casting out and binding demons. When I began taking others to the Courts of Heaven, the Holy Spirit began speaking to me about the change that is taking place.

Can We Sue for Damages in the Courts of Heaven?

Heavenly Lawsuit Meetings

If you were part of our Facebook group Courts of Heaven - Worldwide when we first began, then you might have seen and even signed the “Class Action Lawsuit” against the Kingdom of Darkness for financial restitution. I began preparing this for filing in the Courts of Heaven last week by reviewing the document in the Christian Tea and Coffee meeting on Tuesday. When I asked those present to pull up the document in our Facebook group to read along with me, I was shocked to find out the document was missing!

“The enemy must be in our midst… It seems we are under attack!” I said.  I’ve had the Holy Spirit send me interesting messages and confirmation on my computer before… (See that story, CLICK HERE) the Holy Spirit brought me up short and I amended my declaration. “we need to pray for wisdom and determine who is behind this.”

Interceding for Others Testimony

Healing & Salvation

If you have heard about my journey with God, you know my relationship with God was renewed several years after I married. I asked my husband, Tony, if he was okay with it and he said, “That’s fine, but if you start acting like your mom I’ll divorce you.” My parents were Full Gospel pastors. When they came to visit, Tony asked them not to bring their Bibles because he didn’t want to be preached at in his own home.  

We only attended church on Christmas and sometimes Easter, until my kids were in school. The Holy Spirit told me to tell him, “It is time our girls learn about God. I assume you don’t want to teach them. This means I have to take them to church. What would you like me to tell them when you don’t intend to come with us? ‘Your dad’s too busy? Or too tired?’” 

Wrongly Appropriated Authority

VIDEO: Wrongly Appropriated Authority

Are there limits to man’s authority on this Earth? Are there consequences if we step outside our authority? Perhaps the question to begin with is, “Once we are Christians, can our wrong actions be held against us?” 

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1 AKJV) 

While this verse says that there is no condemnation for Christians “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit,” it does not say that we can do anything we want or that any sin in our lives is acceptable. If we are walking with the Spirit of God, He will lead us out of sin. To find out what “condemnation” this is referring to, we must continue reading: 

But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Romans 8:11 AKJV) 

The Dangers of Taking Communion

The Jewish Feast of Passover begins on Friday night with a feast. Christians know this as “the last supper.” Jesus instructed His disciples concerning the bread and wine which have deep spiritual meaning for God’s people. Let’s examine and fully understand communion, before we speak of the dangers of it. To do this, we must go back to what Jesus and His disciples practiced at that time.

Sharing meals was so important to the Jewish community that special blessings were said at the start and end of the meal. At the beginning of the family meal, this blessing is said as the bread is broken.

"Blessed are You, O LORD our God, King of the Universe, Who has brought forth bread from the earth."

The Passover was not only a meal, it was a feast where many items had a special meaning; the bread was one of those things. When did Jesus make this statement that our communion is centered around?

The Blue Moon Passover - What is God Saying?

Many of us are familiar with the saying, “Once in a blue moon,” which has been around for more than 400 years. It originally meant “it will never happen.” However, certain events have caused the moon to appear blue in the last 150 years. It happens when there are particles in the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions, extreme dust from droughts, or widespread forest fires. Because of this, the term has now come to mean very rarely. 

In 1988 radio stations, news anchors, and newspapers talked about the folklore associated with the expression when there was a second full moon in a month. The phrase was so catchy that restaurants, clothing stores, and  bookstores opening in the following months sported the name “blue moon.” This was the birth of the second full moon in a month being labeled a blue moon, as is fitting since they usually only occur once every 32 months. 

This year is quite special. The second blue moon is occurring two short months since the last one in January and it too  will happen on one of the Feasts of Israel. (Read about the first one CLICK HERE) To fully understand the significance, you must be aware of the difference in the Roman and Hebrew system of days. 

Two of the most significant events in the Gospel are hotly debated by skeptics who see inaccuracies in the testimonies given in the Bible. These “inaccuracies” can be explained if you understand the difference in the Hebrew and Roman calendar system. (Read about those here: 1st post, 2nd post)

Seers, Prophets, and the Gift of Prophecy

VIDEO: Seers in the Courts

Much of the Church has ignored those who operate in the gift of prophecy, the gifts of seeing (“seers”), and the actions of those who are called prophets. The lack of information on this subject has caused confusion and misunderstanding. We need to discover the truth so that the body of Christ can operate as He intended. What is the difference between these vital members of the body?

“All true seers are prophets, but not all prophets are seers.”

Perhaps you have heard this and taken it as a quote from the Bible. This is actually a quote from a well-known prophet of this generation. Unfortunately, the Word of God does not support this conclusion. To fully understand why we must look at three of the most misunderstood members of the body of Christ, often linked together in their application and mistaken for one another. Perhaps this is because individually, these can be hard to understand without knowing about the others.

There are two Hebrew words, ro’eh and chozeh. Both mean “seer.” Two Bible verses will fully explain the differences in these two words:

The Super Blue Blood Moon - Doom or Hope?

In America, on the morning of January 31, 2018, a blood moon occurred during a blue moon. This is an incredibly rare event and has been recorded in all the record books, though perhaps to the chagrin of some astronomers. 

Defining Which Books Must be Free

No matter how clearly you believe the Lord has spoken, I have learned to keep my heart open for the Holy Spirit to refine what He has said. For years I believed what I had heard a TV minister say, “We are to command our angels for they are ministering spirits.” When I was asked where that was in the Bible, I began to search the scriptures.

First I searched all the books by the minister who I was quoting. The only verse quoted was, “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Heb 1:14). When I opened the Bible, the Holy Spirit brought me to the story of the Lord when He was on trial. At this time He was operating as a “son of man” meaning that He was doing what men could do on the Earth when they are aligned with God's will. The Lord Himself said that He could, “ask the Father” who would send legions of angels to rescue Him. If the Lord had to ask the Father for angelic assistance, then so do we. Since that time, I am careful to verify quotes from ministers before I put them in my books. 

A New Year's Miracle

When I first received the revelation from God that all books had to be free, it was hard to accept – especially giving away the printed copies without charging for shipping. As a publisher, this went against everything I had been doing for the last decade. Everyone charges for their work, why couldn’t I?

God sent someone I had never met to put $1000 in my Paypal account the very day the books were free, everywhere and every type of book. It was a miracle I couldn’t deny. A well known  televangelists mentioned that ministers needed to “freely give what they have freely received” (Matthew 10:8-10) more than 1000 people downloaded the free eBooks! Up to this time, only 500 people were downloading the books each month and I had done nothing to cause this increase. 

Despite these signs from God, I still only gave the books for free out of obedience, not joy. Then, on the first day of the year, my heart changed…but not without a struggle.

The Secret Place Open Eyed

September 26, 2017

Focusing on God as music plays has become second nature. Though the songs were unfamiliar, I closed my eyes to see if Jesus, the Holy Spirit, or the Father would meet with me in the Secret Place. Instantly, I saw the Lord as He held me while we danced.

This time I was in His arms. His face was clear and I could feel His hand on the small of my back as He held and guided me in a two-step like dance. "I love dancing with you," I whispered."

"I love to dance," His reply was more than the words He spoke. I knew He chose to dance with me because I loved to dance. This revelation, that the Lord who created everything, would do what I loved to do, just because it meant so much to me... tears cascaded down my cheeks.

When the next song began I had some fun with Daddy. He took me to a river where we swam and played. Standing with Him, feeling the flow of water rise as we walked deeper and deeper was a wonderful sensation.

The third song began and this time I saw myself dancing before the throne of God. I was right up front. Unlike in my natural body, I was graceful, coordinated, and did a wonderful ballet type dance to the rhythm of the song! Each time they we sang, "Laying our crowns at the feet of Jesus," I did a bent low and placed something in front of Jesus, knowing that without His sacrifice which allowed the Holy Spirit to come and guide me, I would have nothing. These crowns really belonged to Him!

At the end of the song, Jesus leapt down from the stage and swept me up into His arms. I floated with Him across the floor in a blue ball gown like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. As we spun and floated He whispered, "Open your eyes."
