CRAZY FAITH

CRAZY FAITH ~  to believe for the impossible, to believe for the unexplainable, to believe for the miraculous, to believe for the supernatural, to believe for the unbelievable....... Linking arms with CRAZY FAITH and believing for those things that are not yet seen.

He is a Big God~

 

We serve a big God and He can take care of those things that we can't take care of, change or fix. He is forever watching over us and as we come to Him with praise, thanking Him for who He is and His majesty, we have pushed past our own afflictions in life and entered into this place with Him that is lovely. It's an understanding that He is GREAT and WORTHY of our praise and He does all things well. Being in relationship with God truly is a giving and taking, as we give Him praise, He takes from us our heavy heart and marks it with grace and peace. He gives us His strength, embedding within us a confidence that nothing is impossible with God and He takes from us our sorrow and cocoons us in His love. Praising Him through the storm, waiting and watching for our miracle, He surrounds us with the beauty of Himself and His embrace will remind us, He is a big God and we have nothing to fear for He is with us.

Here Am I~

"There is coming a day when no man will work....will you work for Me today? " This is the voice of the Father calling out to us, saying," the time is short and the workers are few, there is much that remains to be accomplished in this hour.  For when you think not, the Son of Man will return."  We see the signs all about us; catching a glimpse of fear in the eye of a passing stranger, or hearing a comment now and then from friends about possible disaster, observing in the stores a 30 day supply of meals, in case the unexpected happens. Yes, this is the season we're living in, and the signs are all around us.  As we're running out of time, let's work aggressively to promote the Gospel of the Good News.  We've been comfortable enjoying our "social church groups", subconsciously living in this place of "us four and no more", making things happen for us; while showing no concern for those that are yet to be found by Him.  Here is the desire of Christ....that we go out into all the world and spread the Gospel, making disciples of all men.  This "going out" will look different for each one of us, but one thing remains the same, we each one are to reach out to others, not just living unto our self.  This is our prayer God, here am I send me.

Change is in the Air~

When a shift takes place in the Spirit realm, we may not always notice it in the natural right away.  So we continue to stand, waiting and watching for the fullness of time to come that allows us to see the facts of life submit and align to the truth of God.  Waiting can be a testing of our faith.  So we discipline our mind to stay in this place of believing truth, making a strong choice to stay focused on truth and not believe the facts that we see before us.  As we trust in truth we will find a steadiness that wells up within our Spirit to empower and strengthen  us on our journey in life.  We must choose to ignore the facts of life....facts, are always changing and if we ride the "fact wave" it will be a life of unsteadiness and uncertainty.  There is much happening on the earth that wants to vie for our attention, so take this matter seriously, as we train our mind to keep our thoughts on the good report of the Lord; we will strengthen our weak knees and run this race well.

The End.

There's a message from heaven, look at the times and the seasons.

The End is so near; only participate in those things that He holds dear.

Look at the whole of creation, It groans in anticipation. The End is so near and many will shed a tear.

Things are much worse than they seem, this is only the outer layer that can be seen. The End is near and it will cause great fear.

I hear the Spirit say, discern the time and season that you're living in, The End is Near ~ Don't conform to the world and the things of this world. "the end is so very near....as in the days of Noah, there was drinking, marrying and laughing.....so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man." As in the days of Noah it'd never rained before..... But time is truly ticking and Jesus is coming....., and as in Noah's day when the rain starts falling it's too late, so shall it be when the Son of Man comes." Do not engage with the things of this world but hold them loose and hold tightly to The Father as He is our only source of hope in this world and the one to come.

*JESUS*

The demons shutter when they hear My name.  There truly is power in My name.  Life giving power is in My name.  Life changing power is in My name.  My name is above every name.  When you are in need, call out My name.  When you praise, call out My name.  When you’re in worship, call out My name.  In My name you will find health, wholeness, wisdom, strength, encouragement and help.  There is no other name that can set the captive free.  None other can bring redemption to the lost.  No other name can heal the brokenness that lies within you.  There is no other name greater than the name of JESUS.  I have an attentive ear….waiting, listening for you to call out My name.  And when you call I will answer. 

                      

This is What's Difficult....

When you enter the flow of My presence you will find it is full of power, instruction, wisdom and understanding. I know this is where you want to abide, to live in this place of abundance that I have for you, and yet, you find it difficult to arrive at this place. The battle is within your own flesh not wanting to give up your own desires, giving in to the flesh is easy but not beneficially to the Spirit or to living a life full of the power and presence of God. Life is not difficult because of the things that I send your way... I only give you good and not evil. Life is difficult and painful as you live in the natural. But, I tell you, this life your living is a counterfeit to what I have for you....you have chosen to live second best...you have chosen "Ishmael living", living within the natural realm; instead of " Isaac living", living in the supernatural. I have the best for you and it requires you dying to yourself, as painful as this is to you.....die to your flesh and and live in My Spirit.....the best is yet to come.

There is Order~

There is order in the Throne Room.  As we enter the Throne Room, in the presence of a King, we will soon realize there is an order that we become a part of.  We don't enter the Throne Room and take control, giving the orders of what's to happen and how it will happen, no, we submit to the orders that are spoken in the room.  So it is in the Heavenly Throne Room.  When we enter the presence of the King of Kings, we soon realize there is order in His Throne Room. And after being in His presence we will know our place.  We don't enter and put things in order....as we abide in His presence, He puts His order within us, aligning our will to His....what a beautiful thing to enter, abide and be changed by the presence of the King of Kings, submitting to the things He has for us.  It will have a much different effect within our lives than us trying to order the Spirit, trying to take control of life and situations, as though God is a puppet on a string. Yes, He has given us all power and authority, not to be used as we see fit, giving Him the orders; instead we are to "only do those things we see the Father doing".  This speaks of being in relationship with the Father, hearing His voice and following His lead. Oh God, give us ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.

A Word for the Coming Days....

This will be a time in history that is unprecedented…..

What’s coming will be both joyous, but tumultuous.  

It speaks in the Bible that these things must come before the coming of the Son of Man.  Wars, rumors of war, earthquakes and famines…..

We will truly look in to the past and sorrow the time and money that we spent, desirous of things to be so different now….we will be desperate for things to go back to “normal”.  But this will be our new normal…..We are living in the last days and this is what is spoken of in scripture, the things that must happen before the Son of Man will return.

What’s coming, will be unexpected events and never seen by this Nation before.  Chaos will ensue as there will be famine across the land, rioting and conflict, with other nations within our own borders.  The scripture will be fulfilled, “Men’s hearts failing them for fear.” Yes, it truly will be a tumultuous time for those who have not put their confidence in God Almighty, trusting Him with their very life.

Yet, for believers, it will be a joyous time as we know who holds the future and He is the One who holds our hand, even in this season.  For those that have put their faith, hope, trust and confidence in the Almighty One, we will see the hand of God in unbelievable and unexplainable ways.  He will work wonders and miracles on our behalf……HIS NAME WILL BE GLORIFIED!

But for those that haven’t put their trust in the Almighty it will be a time of great trouble and despair, as things will truly be out of control with extreme and intense life threatening situations across the land.

We are in need of a Savior today….. We need to be in relationship with Christ where we know we are firmly anchored to the Rock that is immovable; being confident that He has all things in control and that He will never leave us or forsake us.  We need to be sure of this one thing, that He is our SAVIOR both in this life and the one to come.  We need to arrive at the conclusion that God is on our side, and that He is for us to succeed spiritually, the whole time God will be is working great things within us that will last for eternity. Let’s settle it now……we are in need of a SAVIOR!

Behold Our God~

"What is it that you need.  What is it that you desire......
There is much happening across the face of the Earth, right now.  But I have placed My Spirit upon you, says the Lord of Host, and as you seek after Me I will come like a strong and mighty wind, you will be caught up into the heavenly realm placed in the powerful presence of God.  I'm going to reveal Myself to you and you will realize, I am the only thing that you need and desire. 
I know you don't understand all that is transpiring in life right now.  Don't be stuck in this place of confusion, trying to figure out what to do and how to do it.  This is a season and time in the world like none other, I have placed a net of safety around you, even though it feels like you're being swept along with the troubles of this life, I will come to your rescue.  You will KNOW that it is from My hand and you will glorify My name.  Do not despair, I am coming with a vengeance and you WILL see the provision and help that you need in this time of crisis".

"Step"

We are stepping into a different time and season.  When God says, "step", we move as He instructs.  We've given our selves much liberty to do in this life as we please, doing what we think is best, according to our own plan or agenda.  God gave His Son as an example of how to live this life on the earth. He only did those things He saw The Father doing.  This is a different perspective than the standards of this world.  God says, don't boast of your plans, but let Him direct our every step.  And the world says, we are the one to set the standard for our life, we are the one that accomplishes great things.  If left to our own thoughts and ways, we are limiting great opportunities that God has planned for us.  "I do all things well, My ways are much higher than your ways, so wait on Me, listen for My instruction and then "step".  I offer you more than you can think, dream or imagine, so why live according to your knowledge, let Me truly direct your every "step" and take you to heights you never thought possible."

God of the Impossible~

The Bible wasn't written to be read as a novel.  It's full of Truth that will help us in our life.
Scripture says; God is the God of the impossible. It also states, with Him all things are possible.  He opens doors that no man can shut and shuts doors that no man can open.
He is the One that causes dry, dead bones to come to life ~ all things are possible with God.
He is the One that positioned a fish, and opened his mouth to swallow Jonah ~  God opens things that no man can shut.
He caused the mouth of Lions to be shut ~  God shuts things that no man can open. 
Situations and circumstances in our life that are impossible with man are possible with God. In our daily living, we're either choosing to believe God and His Word or choosing to live in unbelief. Let's be believers; who choose to believe Truth, who choose to focus on and trust the One who will do the impossible for us. We choose God!

Come Holy Spirit~

If we operate in this life without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, it's like being a spiritual beggar.  But when we've had an encounter with the Power of the Holy Spirit we're now functioning within the Spiritual riches that God speaks of.  Having a power to change our soul man, of it's habits, addictions, attitudes etc.  Living with a power to be bold and operate in faith that can move mountains, trusting in God to deliver us from the mouth of the Lion and save us from the fiery furnace.  Living through the Power of the Holy Spirit, we are now able to access the riches of heaven where nothing is withheld from us. This is the unlimited power that is spoken of in John, that is available for us in this life.  Christ said He offers us life and more abundantly, Oh come Holy Spirit we need you!!!

*POWER*

We need an experience with the changing power of the Holy Spirit operating in our daily lives.  Christ instructed the disciples that they needed to encounter the Holy Spirit, to empower them. If we are living without the Holy Spirit operating in our life, we will be weak in faith, weak in belief, weak in power to overcome addictions, habits and attitudes.  But when we encounter the working power of the Holy Spirit, we then produce fruit that both man and God witness.  Encountering the Holy Spirit will cause us to live through Christ Jesus our Lord, as "He will give us power from on high," and there are many of us that are in need of power today. This is a moment of truth ~We're desperate for the Holy Spirit to empower us to walk out successful living, we need boldness, wisdom, direction and understanding for the days we're living in.  If the disciples needed the power of the Holy Spirit to live, how much more we must need it, as we are living in the last of the last days.

This is the Year!

This is the year, I'm going to pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and daughters will prophecy and you will dream dreams and see visions.  There is none like Me, therefore, there will be none that can do what I have planned for those that seek after Me.  Great things are coming and you will see the provision of the Lord in powerful and unusual ways.  There is much that is coming in both the natural and the supernatural, but those who wait and watch for Me will be the ones that experience the supernatural, which you will need in the coming days.  Do not fret or worry, I do all things well, you will know that it's My hand upon you, as you witness protection and provision.  Look unto Me, the author of every good thing. I will provide all that you need. I will accomplish great things within your Spirit man as you hunger and thirst after Me.  Miracles are on the way!

On the Horizon

I see a miracle coming on the horizon, it's the size of a man's hand.  It's coming to deliver a deposit of the Spirit of God across our land.  It's coming with Fire to purify and cleanse.  It's coming with Rain, to refresh the weary.  It's coming with Power, Wisdom and Authority to bring deliverance.  It's coming with Healing from the Master's hand.  It's coming with Abundance and Provision to help us.  It's coming with Peace for those in distress.  It's coming with a Sword to penetrate deep within the very heart of man to transfer our heart of stone into a heart of flesh. IT'S COMING.

Leaning~

When we've come to the end of our self and we know there isn't anything more that we can do for our situation, LEAN, lean upon the everlasting arms of God.  There are many miracles that are on the horizon and they are much needed, we are living with situations that are beyond our control. If we could do anything to fix what is crushing upon us, we already would have.  But many of us are standing in the need of a miracle, with man this is impossible, and so we Lean into the precious presence of our Faithful Father and Friend who promises to never leave us or forsake us.  We're in good company as we have testimony in scripture that our God is beyond compare and He is the author of every good thing, He is a Miracle Worker and He is on our side.  So let's LEAN heavy into Him and allow God to shelter us as we wait out the storm, watching for our miracle to arrive.

Express Your Self~

Do you remember the old hymn.  I'm leaning, safe and secure on the everlasting arms of God.  The old saints experienced life at degrees that encouraged the writings of some of these familiar songs to remind us where our help comes from.  King David, penned the Psalms during life experiences, both good and bad trusting in God.  Through out history there have been great heroes that placed their confidence in The King of Kings and often it is revealed during hardship. Could it be, that this is a time for us to unveil the greatness of our God, by giving expression in song, and in conversation, ever keeping His Truths on our lips through out our day. Yes, there is darkness upon the earth right now, but let's speak of the One whose name is Faithful and True, not allowing our self to conform to the ways of man and succumb to the negative.  Let's think on the goodness of God and all things that are positive, lovely and of a good report.  Encouraging our self and building each other up in our Most Holy Faith.

Pleasing to God~

"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."  The Bible is full of instruction on living.  Often we will read a verse like this and  skim over it ~ this verse doesn't say; if life is good and all is well, rejoice. But, often times, this is how we choose to have this verse function in our life. There are times when the road we're on is difficult at best, but we choose to rejoice only because we are operating in faith, trusting in God and His Word, that all things work together for good.  We may not see the good in our situation, but we press on choosing to rejoice. As we rejoice, we are walking by faith and not by sight. This is pleasing to God, because, without Faith it is impossible to please God. And isn't this what it's all about, living a life pleasing to our God.

Much Bigger~

The Spirit of God is saying, "Do you hear My voice right now? I am telling you to expect exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask, think, dream or imagine, this is what I am going to do.  More than your mind can comprehend, this is what I have in store for those who are looking for Me.  Don't box Me in and try to tell Me how I can do this....It will come in forms that you least expect it.  And get out of the mindset of man, that it has to be financial.....I AM SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT~ Will I supply all you need, yes, but I also supply more than you even know you need.  There are things within your Spirit man that you are lacking, and have need of, yet it's unknown to you.  This is where I come in, meeting your needs with more than you can imagine.....I am always working in areas within you that man can not see.  Issues deep within the heart.  This is the need within you that I long to fill, with abundance, blessing, prosperity of the Spirit.  More than you can ask, think, dream or imagine!!!!"

A New Normal

 These are critical days we're living in as the powers of darkness know the time is short and is causing chaos in our life trying to derail us. God knew we would have life situations and circumstances today that cause a weariness and He has promised, as we wait upon the Lord we will renew our strength. We are experiencing things in the natural that make it impossible to feel strong or victorious, but God speaks of a life that we can live, full of  unlimited power to help us in our daily living.  This power can only come from the the throne of God.  We must arise in the Spirit and stay in this place with God where we're functioning at a level that is unnatural to our human thoughts and ways. We need to allow the Spirit of God to develop us into Spirit Beings that are in a continuous state of  operating in the flow of God.  As the Spirit realm has shifted we need to tap into a surge of power from God that gives us the ability to calm the storms in life allowing us to mount up with wings like eagles.  We will no longer be weary, but strong and victorious.  Let's make 2012 the year we access and live in the supernatural; which needs to be our new normal.
