The breaking of Jacob June 30, 2008

Larry randolph has this downloadable teaching called “The breaking of Jacob” that talks about God using hopeless failures and making them into champions once they come to the end of themselves and admit they cannot do it.

Jacob had to lose the false sense of security that He could do what God asked Him to do. He couldn’t do it. God chose HIM because he couldn’t………..Jacob was a schemer, a deceiver, and until He realized who he was, God could bring the changes necessary to bring Him into His destiny.

So he wrestled with God all night…..and finally God touched his thigh and said let go of me……but Jacob wouldn’t let go until God blessed Him. God said “What is your name?”

What that really means is be brutally honest about who you really are…..good bad and ugly……..say to God……”This is me…..I am a failure, I am hopeless, I am manipulative and controlling, I dream too much and do to little, I try to be perfect and waste valuable time straining gnats and swallowing camels, I am passionate—but for all the wrong things….” Lord I am helpless without you………

Then God can give you a NEW name……..That is what it says in revelation…..there is a white stone that you can receive with a new name. In the eastern sense, this name is not a change of title, but God changes who you are on the inside so that those things which formerly held a grip on you die……..why? because you have wrestled with God, come to face yourself and prevailed……..not against God……..but against yourself.

You have trapped me June 24, 2008

Face me with myself…….corner me…..
Bring me in to the place where I only see you
Where there is no other medication
I am valued, I am loved
I am trapped by your love
And you are resolute……resolute
Until I am awakened in your love
Open my eyes…….show me the depths of Your Love
Call me in…..to come…..to come……
To come home………..to You.

I am trapped by you…..no other recourse
I am held in your grip………show me…….
I want to see you in your glory……high and lifted up
You are the fragrance of life and love and truth
You are the radiance of a new day dawning
You are the heartbeat of a true friend in a time of need
Show me……….

Transform my mindset, Change my thinking………
Break down my barriers until all else drifts away
And fades to gray………..
And all that is left is YOU…….standing there
Arms outstretched…………Full of life and love and acceptance……..
And I will be free.

Do you understand how much you mean to me?
The value of your heart is worth more than the stars…….
Your life, your love, your breath…..each moment is a treasured memory
A joyous time when we can be together……..

Then why do you look away to what you wish you were
And to what you cannot have,
Or to what you could have been
When Love stands here, arms open wide
Love manifested……waiting for you to say Yes.

When will you see the value of who you are,
And the worth you have in my eyes?
You don’t have to do or be anything more than YOU,
I AM GOD……..THAT IS ENOUGH………
It is Christ in you that is the hope of Glory……..

YOU BE YOU……….JUST THE WAY YOU ARE…….
THEN YOU BE YOU with ME…..and learn to see YOU the way I see you
Let me take you on a journey to unveil your eyes
I will show you how to buy Gold refined in the fire
I will give you garments that are white…..the festal robes……
I have come……I am knocking on the door……..will you let me in?

It is not what you DO……IT is who I Am?
I am He who your heart calls home
And my love transcends knowledge……..
One experience with Me is greater than a thousand years of study……
Do you like doing it the hard way? Or would you like to do it an easier way?
Come to ME……and I will show you.

I choose to live in the reality of who you are
I choose to be still and know that you are God
I choose to enter into the realms where you live
To see what you see from your perspective
Awaken me to you as one from a deep sleep
Choose me in your mercy to walk with you
As in the days of eden, in the cool of the day

And I will be with you…….My head near your heart
I will receive from you instruction and understanding
I will walk in wisdom and communion with you
I will learn to be still……not to demand……..
I will become refreshed in your spirit, renewed

You are so beautiful….so full of mercy…..
So full of life and love…….
The radiant love of the father, expressed in one
The expression of the heart of God…….
Be who you are to me…….and I will be changed forever……
I will learn to rest and be still…..to be true to who you are……
To walk with your purpose……to learn to depend……..
To inter-depend, co-operate with your heart……
That is wisdom……That is Life………That is the Way.

Open the eyes of a generation to your love…….
Let the walk of the shulamite bride be the walk
Of this generation……….more than just ministry
But a surrender of love…..until all that is left is you.
Let all that is left be you.

Why Not You? Why Not Now? June 13, 2008

Why not you? You have what it takes……if you will believe…….I am capable of pressing through the storm of your emotions and accomplishing great things for my sake……….if I can do it with Jacob……with all his manipulativeness……..I can do it with you…….

Your mistakes aren’t the issue…….Moses, David, Saul……they killed people! You have done far less………..

Only one thing stands in the way………..your unbelief in me and your lack of belief in yourself……….I have allowed these things to shape you, to form you…..to make you who you are………

I have allowed the church to go through this season so that they can become HOLY and ready…….so it is with your family as well……..because it is NOT about your reward, or your value in YOUR plans……but your value to my plans………..

There’s the rub…….the difficulty is that I have a plan and it isn’t the one you have or have had in the past………that is why it seems you do not know what to do…….because at long last you don’t have any more plans……and now you are ready to receive…….

So what do you do? humble yourself before me and admit you have nothing left and that you are awaiting My Revelation of My Plan………….then worship me and seek me with what you are doing until I reveal it……..Be Relentless……Don’t stop until I have come…..”

when will I get over myself? June 12, 2008

when will I get to the place where God really is my focus? I need a revelation of Jesus Christ…….I think we all do………only in His presence can my focus be wrenched off of me.

As the Lord says………blessed are the pure in heart……..i.e. the perfectionists……..

For they will see God……….and FINALLY get their focus off of themselves!

As Oswald Chambers says……..”Self Pity is of the Devil”

There’s too much hope in this world…..too much life…….and God is about to move in our church……for real this time……no spiritual propaganda……….

Give us the strength to see you…….and to just get up and serve and do what we are called to do…………To just DO it!

God says “I hate reluctance”………..deliver me out of reluctance and excuses into you……..light me up like a candle……..be proactive…..take some risks……..take charge and be willing to take some blame…………

Open our eyes Lord and lead us in to your presence……….And in your presence to find OUR sound………our unique quality…….and not rely on the sound of some professional because THEY do it so better……

It doesn’t matter if it looks bad……as long as it gets out there, that is what matters.

Easier said than done……but this is the ballgame and everything is on the line……….

Lead me in, Lord, Lead me in…….show me what this means and what I must do……..show me the way in………..and help me to get over myself………..

Hopeless??? No I wouldn’t say that…….just being shaped………you have to confront who you are and look at it in the light of my counsel………are you evil…….? No just human…….just in the process of being shaped……? Not good enough…….no….that isn’t how this works……..Nobody has a clue or is perfect when they start……that’s the whole point of the work…….It deals with your issues as you do it………and if you stay in the process……and see the point of the process and co-operate……..you’ll get better………

As Joseph said, “you meant this for evil, but GOD MEANT this for good…..”

Don’t beat yourself up for lost time……or lost issues……you haven’t lost anything……..your stupidity has been factored in……….and you are just in time!

Sometimes for you to be who you are……….you must come to Jesus and let Him reveal who you really are……because you don’t see yourself correctly. Sometimes I feel like I am undisciplined…….very much so…….but then the Lord speaks back, “disciplined for what?????” If you don’t know what kind of tool you are, how can you know if you measure up?

If I am a hammer, do I beat myself up for not being able to drill holes in the wall like a cordless drill, or saw things like a saw? The question is, who are you made to be in God’s sight, and what mission are you made for. Like a Carpenter with a bunch of tools, you need to know what you are building before you know how to use the tools. The problem with us as people of God is we want to use our own plans instead of going to the Lord.

God’s process seems to be frustrating…..because He will let us build something in our lives…….like a scaffolding, then he will knock part of it down and change our focus in a new path……….and we will go on until we get too far out and he will knock part of it down again and make adjustments……..is he having problems making himself clear or what???

Maybe I need to be still and believe Him more often………work less and have more effective co-operation with him in the work that I do. Cain got nowhere with all his work because He didn’t go get the revelation first.

What kind of Gift do you want God?

What kind of Gift do you want me to be?

Disciplined for what? Made for what? Are you really a failure or being shaped for something that nobody sees yet? It all boils down to whether or not you believe you are doing what God puts in front of you………..if you are then relax………see the purposes in front of you, do them and He will bring it all back together like a master weaver weaving a grand tapestry that in the end will reveal the face of Christ.

Above all……..stay humble and stay a novice in him

The Spiritual Invasion of Normandy……. June 6, 2008

This is it…..the Lord is moving…….this is the Spiritual Invasion of Normandy…….and we are called to invade the enemy’s territory and reclaim those prisoners that the enemy has claimed that were once ours………to liberate a land held in darkness………..We’ll need good strategy, and Right understanding of this battle…………It will not all be fun and light, but a warfare against a determined foe……..

So it is important that we all know our roles……….Some, like the prophets are like the air war in Europe…….and for them to succeed they have to have the p-51 mustangs as well as the Bombers to accomplish their mission…….without either they cannot do their part……..which is to reclaim the stolen anointing and destroy the counterfeit anointing……….

Others are like The ships…….they first have cleared the u-boats from the waters preventing the resources from coming from heaven, in the last 20 years………..now those same ships are laying a groundwork for the invasion of enemy territory…….but their greatest fame is yet to come…….

Some are like the special forces who parachute far behind enemy lines, to take crucial crossroads and fortified areas so that the invasion isn’t halted by a well placed fortified area. They have already gone in.

Some are like engineers, finding and destroying key structures, building bridges, finding ways around tough obstacles……..sounds kinda like teachers to me.

Some are like battlefield medics…..they run around the battle healing people……and others are far behind the lines, healing those with serious injury.

Many of us….the young ones are the soldiers, but we all have roles…….some are for support, others for communication, still others are like snipers, and many are soldiers of the cross.

There are generals, colonels , lieutenants…….there is an order and unity to this battle and we’d better find it…………..because the battle of the bulge is coming……where the enemy hits back………..This is not going to be an easy fight, but we can win it.

We must find out who we are in the Presence of the Lord, then see the other roles of the other people, then ultimately the message of heaven which defines the process and the order of battle and where everyone belongs…………..we must obtain the message of the Lord, then work in unity around Him with the generations all working together in their roles to overcome………..if one generation bails out, it will not be done…..we must go together, we must be what we are called to be.

To Live Again. June 6, 2008

Green Pastures……An Open Road
Freedom to explore, to find…..to love…..
To Live Again……..

Wash away the guilt of the past
Open a new door, into a new place
Set before me a table and let me rejoice
Show me the true life
Show your heart to be what it is……
True…………

Now is the time……the door is open……
Deliver me from the stones of unbelief
And from the shadows of my past….
My mistakes rear above me, like mighty waves
They threaten to engulf………
I cry out and you hear me…….
Come remove this darkness that surrounds me like a shroud
I need a redeemer………….

Answer with fire, with wind……or with a still small voice
I don’t care……but come and become to me
A running river……..A wide open space…….
A heartbeat of love and truth………
A life unbound by fear and unbelief……
Rising up like the sun to a new day…….
An open road…….A green pasture……..
Show Me……..and I will run………
I will come……..
