John G. Lake, a well-known healing evangelist in the early 1900’s, was in South Africa when there was an outbreak of the bubonic plague. People were getting sick and dying all around him, and everyone was afraid that if they would bury the dead, they … Continue readingThe Indwelling, Life-Giving Spirit
Throughout church history, there have been individuals and groups who serve as signposts along the way, displaying to us what is possible and available to us in Christ. One of the most profound displays of both the possibilities and the process was a group of intercessors called the Golden Candlestick. In the 1920’s, this group of intercessors began meeting together to worship and to pray. Though many of them had been trained for ministry in Aimee Semple McPherson’s Bible school, the Lord asked them to lay down their aspirations for public ministry and to minister to Him in the secret place. They agreed, and, under the leadership of Francis Metcalf, prayed together four or five nights a week for about 50 years. First, they began getting glimpses of the Spirit realm through dreams and visions, which Francis Metcalf called “raptures.” As they ministered to the Lord, He would give them downloads of prophetic songs that were in perfect meter and rhyme. Their faithful stewardship of these kinds of experiences enlarged their spiritual capacity to include their physical bodies, and many were physically translated to heaven and would return wearing heavenly garments and jewels. They would physically transrelocate to different geographical locations in the earth, where they would lead people to Christ and would share the Gospel with unreached people groups. They would return from these trips, too, with tangible tokens of their journey. Though Francis released some of her revelation in teaching form, they did not speak openly of these kinds of encounters, and few in the earth knew what they were doing or that they even existed. … Continue readingFrom Glory To Glory & The Ladies Of Gold
Are not all the angels ministering spirits sent out [by God] to serve (accompany, protect) those who will inherit salvation? [Of course they are!] –Hebrews 1:14, AMP We see here that angels and heavenly beings are sent by the Father to minister to those who … Continue readingEngaging Angels and Heavenly Beings
Throughout Scripture, God had His prophets act out in their physical bodies what He was doing or was about to do in the earth. These actions often served as warnings, as well as points of agreement with what was to come. It is doubtful that … Continue readingActs of Faith and Obedience
What you focus on, you empower. Worship shifts your focus from you (the one who died with Christ and whose efforts can only produce death) to the One who IS LIFE, who is infinitely miraculous and who cannot help but produce supernatural fruit. It’s easy … Continue readingWisdom’s Dance of Exuberant Worship
You were born under the power of the law of sin and death because of Adam’s trade, but now, as a son of God, you have the opportunity to proactively apply the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus to empower you to … Continue readingCleansing Your DNA Through Communion
External, physical things are both manifestations of your inner world and points of agreement to keep the miraculous within you working its way out and into physical manifestation. They are not meant to be a substitute for God’s life within (that’s called religion). They are not magic potions or formulas, and our trust is not in them but in God, who is our Source. But they are designed by God to anchor spiritual reality in the natural world, so that it can manifest physically. External things alone cannot compensate for internal sabotage, but they can help to reveal and dislodge it. They can create outward momentum, displacing inertia by simply helping you to begin moving in the right direction. If your external anchors have the same frequency as that thing you are creating from within, they help to raise your frequency, so that you externally resonate what you desire. … Continue readingThe Frequency of External Agreement
Several years ago, I said YES to an invitation from the Lord to align myself with His rhythms, His times and His seasons. When you say YES to these things, you rarely understand the fullness of what you’re saying YES to. And that began a journey of learning and … Continue readingElul: Breaking Cycles and Redeeming Time, Part 1
Last week, we talked about self-will and the rebellious will. Both of these misalignments make it difficult to say yes and both are manifestations of a struggle to trust God. This week, we’ll highlight the weak or broken will and the passive will. These conditions make … Continue readingThe Struggle To Say No
Yeshua was not an example for us, but of us. He was revealing what is possible for all fully mature sons of God. The Hebrew word Elohim means “ruler, judge or godlike one.” It first refers to Father, Son and Holy Spirit creating together in the beginning, … Continue readingWe Elohim’d It!
