Dialogue with God

Exodus  6:2  And God spoke to Moses and said to him: I am the LORD.

The following is my journal entry from my prayer time.  I rarely share my  entries,  but felt  this one is important.

As I began to pray and thank the Lord for the many blessings, I had my pen and notebook in hand and this is what transpired next:

It’s not about titles, the size of your congregation, that status the world places upon you, it’s about intimacy with Me. I long to have a deep two-way conversation with my children. Many times I can only say one phrase, and my children don’t continue the conversation. They take the phrase and run with it, or get excited and don’t ask for more. I have much to say, much to offer, much to share, and I desire dialogue.

I repent and ask the Lord’s forgiveness for not continuing  conversations that we have had in the past.

Remember I told you, ask away.  Just ask anything of Me, and I will share what is on my heart.

Lord, what would you like to say to your church, your bride?

I desire dialogue, two-way conversation, extended time to be just with Me.  I desire for them to be free from distractions, to seek my will, to be in their presence.

Can you imagine, God want’s to be in our presence, that is how much He loves us!

The Lord did say more, but it’s more of a personal nature.   We know the Lord is coming soon, and it’s only through intimacy we can be prepared.  We will not know the day or the hour of the Lord’s coming,( Matthew 25:13) we are commanded though to be ready and watch.

How will we watch if we don’t have  a relationship with our God,  that two-way dialogue, or even attempt a conversation?

Every one of us is able to hear the voice of the Lord. Jesus has paid a heavy price for us to have direct communication with our Father. Let’s make the most of Jesus’ sacrifice, enter into intimacy with our Father and dialogue, and ask away!

May you be richly blessed this day.

Be Still

Psalm 46 10:  Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am God, for it is in the stillness of your heart that I will reveal myself to you and show myself strong and mighty.

In the stillness  I speak to you.  Listen to my still small voice, where this voice, my voice will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know..

Be still and know that I AM God.

Desire to Prophesy

1 Corinthians  14:31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

One of the gifts of the spirit is the gift of prophecy, and it has a three-fold purpose listed in 1 Corinthians 14:3:  But he who prophesies  speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

One of my prayer request to the Lord was that I desired to prophesy at a greater level,  and I earnestly desired this in my prayer time.  But nothing spectacular was  happening. I would attend the usual meetings, meet with my friends and it was business as usual.  Yes, I would receive prophetic impressions and words, but I wanted more. 

I recently learned a valuable lesson; I was not asking the Holy Spirit  to speak through me!

During the meeting the Holy Spirit was always  invited,  and often times I would  leave discouraged, knowing that more could have been accomplished.  

I am learning to involve the Hoy Spirit in all my events, saved and unsaved, even with phone calls to my friends.   A simple  question  before a meeting  such as, Holy Spirit, what would you like to say, who would you like to speak to, who can you bless,  please show me what you want to accomplish, I make myself available, show me and speak through me can go a long way.

We are not to ignore the nudges of the Holy Spirit when He speaks to us,  and we really don’t need to say, “I feel the Lord say such and such.”  Just make it a normal conversation, and when you speak what the Lord would have you say you will stir their heart with edification, exhortation and comfort. 

Also, we cannot earn prophetic impressions, it’s a gift, freely given by the Holy Spirit.  I thought that if I prayed more, listened to more music the Lord will give me these dynamic prophecies, but all along He was waiting for me to ask the Holy Spirit to speak through me.

Do you desire to prophesy?  Great, we can all prophesy,   It’s easy.  Begin by asking the Holy Spirit to show you and speak to you at your next prayer meeting, gathering and invite Him to release His power  through you now,  and watch him move in your midst.

Prophetic Word 2010

By Claude Widmer

Psalm 10, 17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, 18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more. (NIV)

As we have entered this New Year with prayer and in the Presence of the Lord, he has been speaking very clearly and the message that rang in our ears was unmistaken. As we look to Him this coming year in all that is happening on the globe, I believe that he will do a special work in the Body of Christ to meet the needs of the so many oppressed in today’s world.

Please let me share the word of the Lord that we have received for this year.

For indeed says the Lord, I have heard the cry of my people. It is almost like in the days of Moses, when the people were oppressed and heavy burdens were laid upon them. So it is today, not only in the world, but also in my Body.

My people have been oppressed and nobody is there to release them and bring them into true freedom. There are many so called  fathers in my Body, but a lot of them do not represent me. They are fathers when all is good and as long as the children obey and act as they want them to act. In fact, they are not even caring and providing for them, but they are enriching themselves from their children.  There are not many true shepherds that really care for my people and feed them and raise them up into full authority.

But I have heard the cry of the afflicted and seen their hearts desires says the Lord. There are many that had a longing for true Fathers and Mothers in my Body and I have been raising up true Fathers and Mothers. But they have been oppressed themselves says the Lord. But this time is over and I am raising them up all around the world. The new Generation of Fathers and Mothers have been laying there like seeds under the ground.

It has taken a long time for them to mature and they had to endure many Fathers and Mothers that did not treat them the way I wanted them to. But I have become their Father and their Mother. And as David grew up under Saul and yet grew into a true man after my own heart that was leading Israel well, so have they grown up under a lot of persecution and oppression, but they have not been corrupted by it, but been purified through the fire and shine like stars now.

What has been hidden will now be revealed says the Lord. So I want you to know that many that have been oppressed over the years, will now be released. The fatherless will no longer be fatherless and those that were terrified will have to fear no more! For I am going to change things quickly now and those people that have abused their authority, will no longer be able to abuse it. For I myself will fight for the cause of the weak and I myself will be releasing the oppressed.

It will indeed be like in the days of my Prophets, where I spoke that I would no longer delay my words, but make them come true quickly and swiftly. In your mind you will think: But how is this possible oh Lord?  But with me all things are possible and I am able to change any situation around and work in every circumstance.

So watch as the true Fathers are released and know that they will bring freedom to my people like Moses of old did. They will put out their rod and miracles will happen, like when Moses stretched out the rod at the sea and a way was made that did not exist before. So they will make a way where there was no way before and my people will not only walk into freedom, but will start taking the new land that belongs to them.

This will not only look nice, but will cause lots of trouble for the existing structure that is holding everything under control and imprisoned. But when you see the structures breaking apart and some things turn sour, do not be afraid, because it is indeed my work says the Lord. Structure has given you guidelines and security, but no longer shall you trust in manmade things, but I will be your security and I will be your guide says the Lord!

You have been led by the structure of the church and it has given you safety, but no longer shall anything else than I give you a hold. For I am your God and I will lead you by the hand. I will direct your path and I will teach you what true church is about. For where I am in your midst, true church has started (Matthew 18,20)!

This will also be the sign of the new fathers. They will no longer point you to themselves or to their organization, but they will raise you up and help you to know me! For as I have shown you the Father, so will they show you the Father!

So when trouble arises and all is not like before anymore, look up to me. No man will be able to terrify you any longer, for I am defending the fatherless and the oppressed and I myself will watch over them says the Lord.

The Ash of Judgment

Turrialba VolcanoMatthew 24:22  And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

For the past week, the Turrialba Volcano has been spewing ash and gases.  This has caused the evacuation of residents and livestock.   The streets and homes are now covered in ash, as is the livestock.  The farmers have been pulling up their crop to save what they can.  The winds have blown the ash to other cities as well.

In Scripture, ash is a symbol of mourning, Samuel 13:19  Then Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.

While in church, our pastor had the following message to share with us:   “The Lords coming is sooner that we think.   Time is going fast”.

The Lord had been waking him up at 2:00 and 3:00 a.m.   each time with the same message, that He is coming soon, and each time he would direct him to look up ashes in scripture. 

He continued with his message:  “Has  Costa Rica lost something   so valuable that we are in mourning?   What is lost, or what are we loosing, what has been removed from us that the country finds itself in mourning?”

We were also reminded that it was one year ago that Costa Rica had a devastating earthquake in “Cinchona”, and the area has not recovered.  Lives , homes,  and jobs were lost last January.

We read in Jeremiah that God used ash to warn of the coming judgment

Jeremiah 6:26  O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth and roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.

So what are we to do?   What is the answer for us here?  The answer is found in scripture:

2 Chronicles 7:14  if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Costa Rica, like many other nations has lost its’ Biblical worldview. It is no longer what is right in the eyes of God, but what is right in the eyes of man, politician, environmentalist and so on and so forth. 

But we are His people, a chosen generation, and when we pray and humble ourselves for the sins of our nation, He will hear us. 

Costa Rica is not alone in this.  Many nations are in rebellion against His Word, His warnings and His will.

Let this year be a year where we pray for the nation in which we live in, and for other nations as well.   It is then we will see the salvation of our Lord and His blessings fall upon the land.

May you be richly blessed this day.

Seeking Wisdom and Knowledge

Hose 4:6  My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge

While in prayer last week the Lord directed me to this verse.  As I continued in prayer, the Lord continued with the following:

I desire to pour my wisdom and knowledge upon my people, but not many are asking and those that are asking I will give, and give in abundance says the Lord.

It is only by my wisdom and knowledge that you will be able to succeed and not by the efforts of man.  Seek my wisdom, seek my knowledge, for these are two ingredients that will cause you to prosper.

Fernando and I have begun the year seeking the Lord for His will on our lives. We are asking for the Lord to pour His Wisdom and Knowledge upon us, not only for our gain, but for us to be able to pour out on the Body of Christ. 

I challenge you to ask the Lord for His Wisdom and Knowledge upon your life this year, and wait and see the blessings that will follow!

May you be abundantly blessed this year.

Caution-Road Work Ahead!

Isaiah 35:8 A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray.

As many of you know, we live in a semi-rural area, and near our home there has been a road that has been undergoing an expansion.  

This  small,  two lane rural road is one that we use often.   Lately, we have avoided going this direction  to avoid the construction, heavy equipment, delays and detours.  After a few months, we decided to use the road again, and wanted to see the progress.  

Once on the road, we  were surprised to see the wonderful work that was accomplished.   The new road was wider, able to accomodate the public transport system, with proper bus stops and wonderful sidewalks.  The street  no longer resembled a rural, low-quality road. 

As we drove, we realized that the old asphalt  had to be torn up in order to lay a better foundation and make it  wider.  

It was then that I heard the Lord say that this is what he wants with his Bride.  He no longer wants us to be that rural road, hidden where no one can see us,  but a wider road, one that accomoadates more vehicles,  strong and stable and with a greater capacity.  

I also know that the Lord was speaking to me.  I understood for that to happen, the old asphalt must be torn out, some construction needs to take place within, maybe a detour, but the final result will be a highway that can accomodate more traffic. 

How will He do that?  That is up to the Lord.  All we need to do is submit and step out in faith, believe that he will work in us so that we can flow with greater capacity.

Are you ready for that road work in your life?  I am!

Blessings in His name.
