The Giant

There is a giant in your land and you know full well that you see it.

It’s loud with its mocking and taunting. Intimidation tactics. Laughing at your stature but forgetting the shadow of the Lion of Judah who fights with you.

Get ready, friend.
It’s time for war.

But be careful how you approach this giant because only that which God gave you is what will destroy him.

If you are attempting a victory in another man’s armor, you will likely be defeated.

But if you will remember who you are in Christ, and operate as such, in the authority in Him that you carry…Victory is sure.

1 Samuel 17…
You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

David was not passive nor was he silent.
He didn’t declare quietly like a little mouse. He proclaimed boldly, confident in the One whom He served.

Once he declared how the cow was gonna eat the cabbage he pulled out the weapon he had been trained with while watching sheep. Something we might be overlooking in our own lives, today.

All of his years in the field had prepared him well for this moment.

Tucked away from view tending sheep seemed, I’m sure, like a mundane task, yet, it was his training ground.

Not another weapon that seemed bigger or more powerful was needed but the very one God skilled him in while he daily performed his job as a shepherd faithfully.

Some of us are letting the giant declare loudly while we politely step back.

Let us remember that David did not negotiate with the giant. He only slayed him.

So, let us now pick up the pace.
And set your face running right towards that giant.

This is the showdown of your life.

Follow David’s lead and declare the victory of the Lord.

Then watch how Heaven brings down every taunting thing that has dared to come against Him.

When the enemy messes with you, Jesus takes it personally.

If God is for you. No one can stand against…

The Family of God

I sit in rooms with women who have been often tossed aside, overlooked, abused, misused, and many times forgotten.

In some of their deepest pains few, and in some cases no one, seemed to go comfort them or process their pain with them.

Personally, I have been that same woman.

Some of my most traumatic seasons I felt utterly alone in the wondering of why something happened, alone in the effects of trauma, and void of comfort from those I needed most.

I love what David Wilkerson said once about how we should do our best to put to rest any tormenting imaginations in the minds and hearts of people.

I love that kind of heart because silence in the midst of pain can be devastating.

We can very often put someone at rest with mere kindness and love. Honest conversations and good, long hugs.

Many of these precious women spent their lives showing up in other people’s trials. Comforting them in tangible ways, going the extra mile to be sure someone in pain was taken care of and felt seen.

Yet, when they were in need it was at times utter silence and no none could be bothered by it.

Isn’t that troublesome?

The family of God has been heavy on my mind in this month long sabbatical.

How do we become a better family of God, for God, and to people?

The blood of Jesus has made us brothers and sisters and the Bible is clear that when one member hurts we all hurt.

It also instructs us to weep and mourn with those who weep and mourn.

I say this often…you might get tired of it…

But…

We tend to preach well and believe our job is done. But when someone is going through Hell and back that is when the real Kingdom work begins.

This exposes a dire problem in the body doesn’t it?

And might I say that the world sees it way more clearly than we do?

This is why so many enter cults, gangs, covens, etc. They long to belong and somehow those places have provided more of a family than the body of Christ.

This should shake us up and cause us to ask, “Why is this?”

Perhaps we are speaking of One we do not yet know as well as we ought?

Maybe we’re too busy building our own kingdoms to stop and tend to the pain of others?

I realize that stings but maybe it’s time it should.

We can lay off the meme’s with phrases I’ve seen lately like “If people made you leave the church then you were focused on people and not God.”

No, actually, that’s not often true. That is us avoiding a divine responsibility expected by God and an unwillingness to look at the log within our own eyes.

How about we do unto others what we would have them do unto us and if we have caused any kind of falling away due to hurt or harm we had better understand that God is on the side of, and very near, to those broken hearts.

So, let us lay down the gift at the altar and run quickly to go make that thing right.

Humility is always willing to “fall on your sword.”

Let me get a little personal now so that you can understand that I am also coming from personal experience and this is why I’m passionate about us returning to the very heart of God in this hour.

For years I carried many people into my ministry environments. Whether it was music events I hosted, magazine articles I invited others to write for, mission projects I felt good for the gathering of the saints. I loved taking people with me. It was a deep joy.

I showed up when people were in pain, dropped off gifts to encourage the downtrodden, and made efforts of time and attention to love on people in loss.

Then two valley seasons hit me back to back for a period of several years.

My phone didn’t ring, no texts asking how I was came through, and the silence in all of the pain was deafening, and bewildering. It all sent me to the backside of the wilderness and honestly I was unsure I would return to ministry.

I hear the same stories often here in phrases like, “I’ve always been a good friend but I’ve rarely experienced the same.”

That should break our hearts.

While I understand all I went through prepared me to do what I do in ministry today, it does not expunge the body of her responsibility and need for change.

Nor does it release us of the very heart of God to love better.

I plan on walking back into work this week with a deep desire to intentionally cultivate a deeper family of God within our own flock.

It is my responsibility and it is the Father’s heart.

Maybe I could encourage you to do the same😘

Return

While I’ve written another writing today that I’ve already posted I felt, yet, another line beginning to come forward in my prayer time so I want to share what I feel the Lord has to say to some.

Return…

Return to that thing you were called to. Not the thing you made it.
Not the thing others forced you into.
Not the thing that you were unable to say “No” to.

The thing that the Lord spoke over your life.

Some times we find ourselves far away from that which God has said for various reasons.

Even in ministry it can be like a train that won’t stop. Needs funnel in that you feel you should meet until the very place of power, provision, and anointing can hardly be seen.

So, return.

Return to that work.
Finish what you started.
It’s a place where God has placed a spout.

The oil flows there…

Permission Granted

Some of you are waiting for someone’s permission.

Permission to become all that Christ Jesus has called you to be.

Yet, the voices of man have held you hostage with some idea that their opinions actually carry divine weight.

“There is only one King
To which I sing
And that King He is my friend.”

“If you love me, you will obey me.”

There can be no other who has the final say in your destiny. Only one formed you in the womb. And only one died a brutal death that you might also live.

We have made many idols in the body.
Some are spouses.
Some are children.
Some are parents.
Some are denominations.
Some are leaders.
Some are friends.

At times it’s comfort.
Position.
Money.
Influence.
Work.
Fear.
People pleasing.

Anything exalted above Jesus and His desires for you as your LORD has become an idol. And that I’m afraid is spiritual adultery.

There is only one, dear friend, whose voice will one day matter and He never gave you a mere opinion, only a divine command.

Obedience to Him is a non-negotiable.

If permission is what you’re waiting on then your waiting is in vain.

Because permission has already been granted by the King and He has not changed His mind.

Where Reuben Failed

One of the saddest parts of the story of Joseph to me is likely overlooked. There is a lot to take in regarding Joseph and his brothers. All the betrayal, all the indifference to his pain and life, the lack of remorse, and even the rationalization of their behaviors.

But Reuben…breaks my heart.

Reuben knew what was happening was wrong. It’s pretty clear in the scriptures that he was troubled.

Genesis 37:21-22
But Reuben heard their plan and saved Joseph saying, “Let’s not kill him. Don’t spill any blood. Throw him into this well here in the desert, but don’t hurt him!” Reuben planned to save Joseph later and send him back to his father…

Reuben had not thought through the possibility of a time lapse. He didn’t calculate the potential of the brothers coming up with another plan.

Why didn’t Reuben stop this mess immediately?

It’s hard to stand up for justice when the crowd might turn on you. There is fear for your own life, huh? Maybe the fear of being treated the same way by his brothers. It takes major courage to step in when you see an injustice in action.

While Reuben’s heart seemed to be in the right place, he was more willing to hide it rather than expose it to his brothers.

I’ve wondered what might have happened if Reuben has been willing to stand up to his brothers on behalf of Joseph? His inaction played a significant role in Joseph’s next troublesome years.

It’s counter to what we see with Esther. A girl willing to lay down her life for justice. Willing to confront the hypocrisy of wrongdoing, the hidden deception in her midst, and the potential that her very actions may well cost her ultimately her reputation and even her life.

One compromised while the other
did not.

Have you ever watched someone treat another in a way that was harmful? Yet, you stood by and said nothing for fear of retaliation? Friend, this is not the way of Jesus. He is always on the side of justice. We are not to cause brothers and sisters to have to fend for themselves. We are the family of God and Christ takes is quite seriously.

In the days ahead we, each, will face this potential circumstance and we will have to make a choice. Will we be on the side of Jesus or not?

There is a quote I can agree with that we’ve all heard many times:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (or women)to do nothing.”

Reuben makes me sad. He chose wrongly and it had dire consequences in the life of Joseph.

Learn to wield the justice of Jesus in this hour. Anything or anyone standing on the side of injustice is not following the Jesus of the gospel.

Let us represent Him well.

Baptism of the Spirit
-a personal testimony-

I remember years ago coming out of the deepest valley I had ever known. I was sitting in my secret place upset with the Lord.

He had put words in front of me that went against all I had been taught or had ever known. I knew few would be in agreement with the calling that was going out upon my life.

I told no one.

Frustrated because the Lord was upending my comfort, my stability, and my environment I cried out, “I will not do it unless you send me the power I read about in the Book of Acts.”

I then grabbed my prayer mantle, walked out to my saltwater swimming pool and struck the water with it, “Where is the God is Elijah.” I literally walked myself through the same scripture moments as Elisha.

Nothing happened.
I stood up and went back inside in tears.

I knew everything was changing in my life and nothing would ever be the same again. I was already grieving it as a loss.

A few days later I became exhausted and thought, “I’ve got to lay down.”

As I tried to nap a deep cry came from a place I could never point to with my human hand because it was coming from such a deep place, then suddenly something utterly miraculous happened.

The Holy Spirit had come into my room and I could feel fire from head to toe.

Then I realized I was uttering a language I did not know.

I remember thinking in my mind “This must be what Mary felt when the Holy Spirit came upon her.”

I was recalling all the scriptures I suddenly understood that I never could before and this bathing of the Holy Spirit lasted for quite some time.

For two days it happened every time I laid down to rest.

It was nothing like I had envisioned. Not a single thing scary about it.

The Holy Spirit was very gentle with me and confirming clearly my call from God.

He had done what I had asked.

In the days following there came poetry and prophetic songs I never knew possible and a language that we shared intimately.

Seeing the scriptures come to life put to rest many questions that you simply are unable to understand without experience.

Don’t let people talk you out of experience with Jesus. One must often have the experience to then understand certain scriptures. Many preach scripture with no experience of it. Therefore we preach and pray amiss.

I share all of this so you may know that:
- [ ] He still comes upon us with power today.
- [ ] He still pours out new languages that will build up your most holy faith and also edify the body.
- [ ] He still sends out “calls” that no one may affirm but He will confirm.

Do not let anyone tell you that it all died with the apostles in the Bible.

The Holy Spirit is as much God as the Father and Son. And He is alive and active today.

We are all disciples of Christ and He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever.

1 Corinthians 14:1
Pursue [this] love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet earnestly desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts [to be used by believers for the benefit of the church]…

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
