December, 2013 :: Update from the Mission Field :: Nathan and Dawn Pietsch

written by: Nathan D. Pietsch

Dear Friends and Family,

December was a very active month for Dawn and I on the USA mission field. We spent hours and hours a day this month on the streets contending for revival in New Orleans. We believe the breakthroughs New Orleans receives will radically impact the United States and beyond. As you read below, you will find a brief update from the mission field covering the entire year of 2013. You will also find some special prayer requests.

If you are interested in connecting and supporting Nathan and Dawn Pietsch on a personal level you can at: www.allsufficientgod.org.


As full-time missionaries to the United States, we desire to stay true to the call we believe we have received. Our objectives as missionaries is to reach the lost on the streets and in the marketplace in the areas we travel. We accomplish this through power evangelism outreach. Our second objective is to train and equip other churches in power evangelism outreach. Our third objective is to conduct revival meetings and conferences. We have recorded below a brief update from the mission field covering the entire year.

2013 in Review

For Dawn and I, 2013 was full of loop-de-loops, ups-and-downs, and all-arounds. It has been an amazing ride, and for certain, the good has greatly outweighed the bad.

Dawn and I live a “book of Acts” lifestyle. We go where we feel the Lord is calling us to go and minister. Sometimes we go to regions where we do not have any connections, and watch to see what doors God might open up for us. It is certainly stretching at times.

Throughout the year, we were able to minister to hundreds of people. As front line missionaries, we spend a lot of time praying for hurting and helpless souls on the streets. We find a lot of broken people. It is so wonderful to be able to minister the good news of Jesus Christ to them.

Our primary places of ministry in 2013 were in California and Oregon. We also got to do significant ministry in Arizona and Louisiana.

While we were in California, we got to minister to people in Santa Barbara, Hollywood, and Redding to name a few cities. While in Redding, we got to oversee a healing house for three months. We also were able to be a part of the ministry team in the healing rooms at Bethel Church.

During our stay in Oregon, we specifically connected with an amazing deliverance and inner healing ministry. We were able to minister alongside of them, while they ministered to us at different times. The training and equipping we received at the deliverance ministry has been a foundational piece for the ministry we are now doing in New Orleans, Louisiana.

2014 in Foresight

We are very excited for 2014. We are believing God will open some amazing doors for us. We are not exactly sure what that looks like, but it is going to be spectacular.

The word Dawn is continually receiving daily from the Lord is, “Behold, I am coming quickly.” (Revelation 22:12.) There seems to be an urgency in the spirit realm saying, “Wake up. Shake off lukewarmness. Stop living in the world. Time is getting short. Live radically on fire for Jesus. You won’t be disappointed.” That is what we desire to do. That is what we desire for you too. You won’t be disappointed!


Special Prayer Requests
* Please pray that the people Nathan and Dawn have ministered to will continue to have amazing encounters with the Lord.
* Please pray for greater provision, protection, and God's wisdom for Nathan, Dawn, and All Sufficient God Church.
* Please pray for Divine connections and appointments.
* Please pray for a great outpouring of God's grace in New Orleans. New Orleans' breakthrough will impact the USA.

Sword and Harp

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. King David was a man of war, and shed a lot of blood. (I Chronicles 28:3.) He was also a psalmist, and wrote a lot of psalms. In one of David's psalms he wrote, "Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle." (Psalm 144:1.) Later in the same psalm David wrote, "I will sing a new song to You, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You." (Psalm 144:9.) David was a skilled warrior with both the sword and harp. Did you know I can also train your hands for war, and your fingers for battle?

You may not need to be skilled with a physical sword like David, but the music you make with your hands and voice are weapons of war. Saul was tormented with a distressing spirit. When David took the harp and played it with his hands, the spirit would depart from Saul. (I Samuel 16:23.) The music you can also produce with your hands by playing instruments unto Us can help people tormented by distressing spirits be delivered. The songs you sing can bring healing. I can help you learn to sing and play musical instruments.


I Chronicles 28:3
3 But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed blood.

Psalm 144:1
1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—

Psalm 144:9
9 I will sing a new song to You, O God;
On a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

I Samuel 16:23
23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

False Christs and False Prophets

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. During My earthly ministry, I taught My disciples about the signs of the times and the end of the age. I specifically warned my disciples of false christs and false prophets. I spoke to them saying, “If anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Matthew 24:23-24.)

You need to understand there is a holy supernatural and a dark supernatural. You should not deny the supernatural, nor should you reject it. However, you need to distinguish between the light and the dark. Let Me give you instruction on how to discern between the true and the false. Here are some ways to know the source of people's power. 1) Is God getting the glory? (Matthew 15:29-31.) 2) Do they admit Jesus came in the flesh? (I John 4:1-3.) 3) Do they confess Jesus is Lord? (I Corinthians 12:3.) 4) What kind of fruit are they bearing? (Luke 6:43-45, Galatians 5:22-23.) 5) Do they abide in the doctrine of Christ? (II John 1:9-11, Galatians 1:6-9.) These keys will help you distinguish between the holy and profane.


Matthew 24:23-24
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.  24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 15:29-31
29 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.  30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.  31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

I John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,  3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

I Corinthians 12:3
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

Luke 6:43-45
43 For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.  44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.  45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

II John 1:9-11
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.  10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;  11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Galatians 1:6-9
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,  7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.  8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.  9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

The Source is Everything

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. The source from which you drink is everything. When Jesus encountered the woman at the well He spoke to her saying, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:13-14.) Jesus is the Source from which you should drink. The "Water" Jesus gives is the Holy Spirit. Jesus further said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38.)

It is not possible to drink from "other" sources and be satisfied. You will thirst again. You cannot find satisfaction or fulfillment in self-help books, Eastern Religion, philosophy, or news stand magazines. We are the One pure Source from which you will be satisfied. Everything else is empty, unsatisfying, and polluted in comparison to Us. It is time to change the source from which you drink. You cannot drink of the world's water and not get parasites. The world's water stinks. Drink from Our well.


John 4:13-14
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,  14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

John 7:37-38
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

Precious Thoughts Towards You

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Unlike some earthly fathers towards their children, I always have wonderful thoughts towards you. You are the apple of My eye, and I hide you under the shadow of My wings. (Psalm 17:8.) I love you. I know the thoughts that I think toward you. Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11.) I desire for you to prosper, be successful, and be happy. I want the best for you. My thoughts towards you are precious. How great is the sum of them! If you could count these precious thoughts I have towards you, they would be more in number than the sand. (Psalm 139:17-18.)

I really want you to understand the words of Jesus when He spoke of Me. Jesus said, "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32.) I do not want you to fear, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10.) My thoughts are precious towards you.


Psalm 17:8
8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.

Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Psalm 139:17-18
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

Luke 12:32
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

Isaiah 41:10
10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Rear and Front Guard

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I am your rear guard, and I am your front guard. If the enemy comes in like a flood, I help protect you. When the children of Israel were trapped against the Red Sea, and the Egyptian army was coming upon them to utterly destroy them, We became their shield. We moved and went behind the Israelites. The pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. We came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night. (Exodus 14:19-20.)

Many people feel fear that they will be destroyed, or even killed by the enemy. We do not want you to walk in fear. If you experience this type of fear, meditate upon Our words which We spoke through David. "You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me." (Psalm 139:5.) We also spoke to Abram years and years ago saying, "Do not be afraid. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” (Genesis 15:1.) These are also the words We speak to you right now.


Exodus 14:19-20
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.  20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

Psalm 139:5
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

Genesis 15:1
15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

I Am Merciful

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I am merciful. The word mercy means, "kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly," or "kindness or help given to people who are in a very bad or desperate situation." Do you know anybody who needs mercy poured out on their lives? I want you to know I am merciful. I really want you to understand this. The bible repeatedly says, "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." (I Chronicles 16:34.) This is truth.

Giving thanks is very important. You can enter into My gates when you give thanksgiving. (Psalm 100:4.) Knowing that I am good, is essential during situations that are confusing to you. Even when you do not understand, if you know that I am good, you can have peace in any situation. I also want you to know, My mercy endures forever. I do not desire to see people perish and go to hell. On the contrary, I am longsuffering toward all, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9.) I am very merciful, and My mercy endures forever.


I Chronicles 16:34
34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Psalm 100:4
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

II Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Build on Revelation

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. Receiving heavenly revelation from Us is crucial in your life. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint. (Proverbs 29:18.) In other words, without revelation the people perish. We are able to build upon revelation. When Peter confessed Jesus as the Christ, Jesus confirmed Peter had received a revelation from the Heavenly Father. Upon this revelation that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus said He would build His church, and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:13-20.) We are able to build upon the revelations you receive from Us.

It is crucial for you to receive revelation from Us, so We can build in your life. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27.) Since you can hear Our voice, you can receive Our revelations. It is critical to receive direction from Us before you make major decisions. Solomon was correct when he wrote, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1.) Receive Our revelations, so We can build upon them.

Proverbs 29:18
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.

Matthew 16:13-20
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.  18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.  19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

John 10:27
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Psalm 127:1
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.

Specifics

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. During My earthly ministry when I was going near Jericho, a blind man sat by the road begging. When I passed by him, he cried out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" He was told to be quiet. However, he cried out all the more. I stood still and commanded him to be brought to Me. I asked him what he wanted Me to do for him. His response was, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." I responded saying, receive your sight; your faith has made you well." (Luke 18:35-42.)

It was pretty obvious for Me to see this man had a significant need. He was a blind beggar on the side of the road. However, I asked him specifically what He wanted Me to do for him. He then specifically told Me what he wanted. When you pray, it helps to be specific about what you are praying for. Being specific is not necessary for Us to understand your needs, but it helps you pinpoint your needs, and also increases your faith. Hannah, the mother of Samuel was very specific of what she wanted when she prayed to Us for a child. (I Samuel 1:11.) We answered her prayer. We want to answer your prayers too.


Luke 18:35-42
35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.  36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.  37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,  41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”

I Samuel 1:11
11 Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”

Quiet Your Soul

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Quiet your soul, so you can hear My voice. Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions. One of the problems most people have is that they live their life leading from the soul, verses leading from the spirit. Being led by the soul is better than being led by the flesh, but it is still only second best. I want your soul to be completely submissive to your God-given human spirit, who is completely submissive to the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and Myself.

King David was a man after Our own heart. (Acts 13:22.) David was also able to hear Our voice. One reason why he was able to hear Our voice is because he calmed and quieted his soul. (Psalm 131:2.) David learned how to be led by his spirit, rather than make rash decisions based on his mind, will, and emotions.

It is important for you to be led by your spirit, because it is made alive with Christ and seated with Us in heavenly places. (Ephesians 2:4-7.) Your spirit is in Us, and there is no fear, worry, or stress in Us. It is your mind, will, and emotions that cause you turmoil. Ask Us to help you quite your soul, and be led by your spirit.


Acts 13:22
22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

Psalm 131:2
2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Ephesians 2:4-7
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,  5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

We've Got Your Back

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. Sometimes events in your life do not always go the way you expect them too. Take Abram for example. We came to Abram in a vision and promised Abram a child. We showed him the heavens above and instructed him to count the stars if he were able. We told Abram he would have descendants this numerous. (Genesis 15:1-5.)

We eventually fulfilled Our promise to Abram and his wife, Sarai. Sarai, or Sarah conceived the child of promise. (Genesis 17:19.) It was a glorious moment for them. However, the events in Abram's life drastically changed when We tested him. Abram was instructed to offer his son as a burnt offering to Us. (Genesis 22:2.) Abram past the test, and We prevented him from sacrificing his son. (Genesis 22:9-12.)

When events in your life do not look the way they should, hold onto a few promises from the Bible. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6.) "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28.) It might look different, but we've got your back.


Genesis 15:1-5
1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

2 But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”  3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!”

4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” 5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him,

“So shall your descendants be.”

Genesis 17:19
19 Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Genesis 22:2
2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

Genesis 22:9-12
9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.  10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

So he said, “Here I am.”

12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

I AM On Your Side

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23.) All have turned aside. All have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one. (Psalm 14:3.) The wickedness of man is great upon the earth, and the intent of their thoughts of their hearts are evil continually. (Genesis 6:5.) Without Me, everyone is like an unclean thing, and all their righteousnessess are like filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6.) However, I am on your side. (Psalm 124:1-2.) Man cannot obtain salvation without Me. It is I who am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6.)

Despite the wickedness of people, I am completely for you, and not against you. That is why I joyfully went to the cross, so you can walk free of sin and death. (Hebrews 12:1-2.) I became flesh and dwelt on this earth. I am full of grace and truth. (John 1:14.) The judgment that was to be poured out upon you because of sin and rebellion I bore on Calvary. You no longer need to walk in shame or disgrace, because I carried that for you. I am on your side, and want the best for you.


Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Psalm 14:3
3 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.

Genesis 6:5
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Isaiah 64:6
6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

Psalm 124:1-2
1 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Hebrews 12:1-2
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Where Does Your Help Come From?

I AM the Heavenly Father. King Saul was an anointed vessel chosen to reign over My people. (I Samuel 9:17.) However, as time progressed for Saul, he desired to follow his own ways instead of My ways. He began to seek help from others and not Me. Saul's greatest and final blunder was when he ended up searching for help from the medium woman at En Dor. (I Samuel 28:7.)

Certain people put their trust in and search for help using deviant methods like Saul did. They receive council, guidance, instruction, and help from mediums, spiritualists, soothsayers, and fortunetellers who operate in the dark. This is clearly against My word. (Leviticus 19:31, II Kings 21:6.) Other people put their trust in riches. Some trust in the works of their hands. Others trust in themselves. But where does your help come from?

Let your help come from Me who made heaven and earth. I will not allow your foot to be moved. I who keep you will not slumber. I am your keeper, and your shade at your right hand. I shall preserve you from all evil, and shall preserve your soul. (Psalm 121:1-8.) Let your help come from Me.


I Samuel 9:17
17 So when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”

I Samuel 28:7
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.”
And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”

Leviticus 19:31
31 Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

II Kings 21:6
6 Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.

Psalm 121:1-8
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Revive Me

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' sermon on the mountain to the multitudes He said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." (Matthew 5:6.) When a person hungers and thirsts for righteousness, it catches Our attention. We are drawn to such desire. We are attracted to prayers that ignite personal and corporate revival.

The author of Psalm 119 cried out to Us for personal revival. Personal revival leads to corporate revival. The psalmist's hunger and thirst for righteousness caught Our attention. Consider his heart's cry. "My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your word." (verse 25.) "Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way." (verse 37.) "Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness." (verse 40.) "Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth." (verse 88.) "Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice." (verse 149.) "Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; revive me according to Your judgments." (verse 156.) The word, "revive" here means to live, remain alive, live prosperously, and to be restored to health. Your revival will usher in revival for others.


Matthew 5:6
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    For they shall be filled.

Psalm 119:25
25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.

Psalm 119:37
37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.

Psalm 119:40
40 Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.

Psalm 119:88
88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

Psalm 119:149
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.

Psalm 119:156
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments.

The Priestly Blessing

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. We gave instructions to Aaron and his sons on the way they should bless the children of Israel. They were instructed to give the priestly blessing saying, "The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." (Numbers 6:23-26.) This is a powerful prayer because the priests were putting Our name on the children of Israel, and We blessed them for it. (Numbers 6:27.)

This blessing does not only apply to the children of Israel, but every person who has received Me as their personal Lord and Savior. The Gentiles, or every person who is not Hebrew, has been grafted into the blessings of Israel when they put their faith in Me. (Romans 11:17.) The priestly blessing does not only apply to the Israelites, but also to those Gentiles who have a personal relationship with Me. When you bless each other with the priestly blessing, you are stamping Our name on each other.
Every person who has a relationship with Me can bless others with this priestly blessing. When you received Me into your heart, you entered into a royal priesthood. (I Peter 2:9.) You have permission to bless others.


Numbers 6:23-26
23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:

24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’

Numbers 6:27
27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Romans 11:17
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

I Peter 2:9
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Responsibilities of Leadership

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Being a leader is a great honor, and a great responsibility. Jesus said, "For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required." (Luke 12:48.) I am currently raising up people who can lead, teach, and disciple multitudes, but you also need to understand the responsibilities. James was Divinely inspired to write, "Let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." (James 3:1.) If a leader accidentally steers people away from Us, they will still be responsible for causing deception and others to stumble. Jesus also said, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea." (Mark 9:42.)

Before you begin to lead, teach, and disciple others, ask yourself these questions. Can you hear Our voice? An effective leader can hear Our voice, listen, and then lead people where We are taking them. Are you grounded in the Word? The Bible is truth. You need to know the truth to lead people to Us. Are you flowing with the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit will help you and teach you all things. (John 14:26.) You need a deep connection with the Holy Spirit.


Luke 12:48
48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

James 3:1
1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

Mark 9:42
42 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

John 14:26
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Pray!

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I help you in your weaknesses. I, Myself make intercession for you with groanings which cannot be uttered. I make intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27.) I pray on your behalf. I also want you to live a life of prayer. Prayer is simply communicating with Us. You can pray about anything and everything. The apostle Paul wrote, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6.)

I want to show you from the scriptures the power of prayer. Abraham prayed to Us, and We healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. (Genesis 20:17.) Moses prayed that We would pardon the iniquity of the Israelites because of their rebellion and sin. We pardoned the Israel's sin because of Moses' prayer. (Numbers 14:19-20.) The early church continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. (Acts 1:14.) This resulted in them being filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4.) Jesus spent all night in prayer before He chose His twelve disciples. (Luke 6:12-13.) Your prayers are like incense that ascend before Us. (Revelation 8:4.) Pray!


Romans 8:26-27
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Philippians 4:6
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Genesis 20:17
17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

Numbers 14:19-20
19 Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, according to your word;

Acts 1:14
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Acts 2:1-4
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Luke 6:12-13
12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

Revelation 8:4
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

Words of Life

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. My words are truth, and My words are life. The psalmist wrote, "Your word has given me life." (Psalm 119:50.) There is power in the words you speak. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21.) The words We have spoken, are speaking, and will speak are living and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. (Hebrews 4:12.) Our words contain life, and I came to earth so you can have life, and that which is more abundantly. (John 10:10.) My words spoken in the past, still contain life and power today. Receive life from My words.

“Do not be afraid; only believe.” (Mark 5:36.) “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” (Mark 5:34.) “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” (Mark 5:8.) "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." (Luke 18:42.) "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity." (Luke 13:12.) "Stretch out your hand." (Matthew 12:13.) "I am willing; be cleansed." (Luke 5:13.) "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4.)


Psalm 119:50
50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.

Proverbs 18:21
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Mark 5:36
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Mark 5:34
34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Mark 5:8
8 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

Luke 18:42
42 Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

Luke 13:12
12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity."

Matthew 12:13
13 Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

Luke 5:13
13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.

Matthew 4:4
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

Financial Prosperity

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I am desiring to release Kingdom finances over My people. However, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. (II Corinthians 9:6.) As you financially sow into Our Kingdom, We are able to supernaturally multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness. (II Corinthians 9:10.) If you are financially struggling, sow financial seeds into Our Kingdom. After Isaac sowed in the land, We blessed him. Isaac then began to prosper until he became very prosperous. (Genesis 26:12-14.) It is Our blessings who makes one rich, and We add no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22.)

In addition to sowing seeds, pray for financial breakthrough. Jabez prayed to Us saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” We granted him what he requested. (I Chronicles 4:9-10.) We blessed him and enlarged his territory. The psalmist also prayed, "Save now, I pray, O Lord; O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity." (Psalm 118:25.) We want to prosper you, and you need to be prosperous to accomplish the Kingdom tasks ahead of you.


II Corinthians 9:6
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

II Corinthians 9:10
10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

Genesis 26:12-14
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him.  13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;  14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

Proverbs 10:22
22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

I Chronicles 4:9-10
9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”  10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.

Psalm 118:25
25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.

Rest, O My Soul

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. If anyone is in Me, they are a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (II Corinthians 5:17.) Every person who has received Me as their personal Lord and Savior has a new nature and identity. I want you to walk in your new nature. The apostle Paul was Divinely inspired to write, "Put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24.) I want you to put off the former conduct, and put on the new man. I want you to understand what I have done for you on the cross.

The psalmist wrote, "Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you." (Psalm 116:7.) Your soul consists of your mind, will, and emotions. You can tell your soul to be at rest, because I have dealt bountifully with you when I died on the cross. I bore all sin, and destroyed all curses at the cross. You can live with a peaceful mind, so tell your soul to be at rest.


II Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Ephesians 4:22-24
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,  23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,  24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Psalm 116:7
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

Call to Me

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1.) I sit above the circle of the earth. I stretched out the heavens like a curtain, and spread them out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22.) I ride upon the clouds. (Psalm 68:4-6.) I am omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. I am almighty, present in all places at all times, and have complete and unlimited power. (Revelation 19:6, Psalm 139:7–10, Psalm 147:5.)

I dwell on high, but I humble Myself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth. I raise the poor out of the dust, and lift the needy out of the ash heap, that I may seat him with princes—with the princes of His people. I grant the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. (Psalm 113:5-9.) I am a father of the fatherless, and a defender of widows. I set the solitary in families; and bring out those who are bound into prosperity. (Psalm 68:5-6.) I even have a number for every hair on your head. (Luke 12:7.) I am the Creator of all things, but as you can see, I am not out of human reach. All you have to do is call to Me for anything.


Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Isaiah 40:22
22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Psalm 68:4
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.

Revelation 19:6
6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

Psalm 139:7-10
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.

Psalm 147:5
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.

Psalm 113:5-9
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may seat him with princes—
With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 68:5-6
5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
6 God sets the solitary in families;
He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Luke 12:7
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

No Other gods

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. The first commandment of the ten says, "You shall have no other gods before Me." The second is similar saying, "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them." (Exodus 20:1-6.) Anything that is placed above Us in your life is another god. It is the same as an idol. Money, power, people, work, television, video games, or other possessions can become "an other god" before Me, and idolatry. There are demonic entities behind idols. (II Chronicles 11:15, Revelation 9:20.) We want to be number one in your life, and We don't want you playing around with any demons.

I want you to do a heart check and ask yourself if you have any idols in your life. If you find anything in your life that is above or dishonoring to Us, then do what Josiah did. Josiah put away those who consulted mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform Our words. (II Kings 23:24.)


Exodus 20:1-6
1 And God spoke all these words, saying:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;  5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,  6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."

II Chronicles 11:15
15 Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.

Revelation 9:20
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

II Kings 23:24
24 Moreover Josiah put away those who consulted mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.

God's Works are Great

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want you to know Our works. By studying and knowing Our works, you will be studying Us. By knowing Our works, you will see Our characteristics. By seeing Our characteristics, your relationship with Us will deepen. The children of Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. (Joshua 24:31.) Simply by knowing Our works, you will be less likely to go astray from Us. The Psalmist wrote, "The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them." (Psalm 111:2.) It is time to study Our works, for they are great. The Bible is full of Our great works.

We created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1.) We parted the Red Sea. (Exodus 14:16.) We broke down the walls of Jericho. (Joshua 6:20.) We blinded an entire army coming against Israel. (II Kings 6:18.) We healed the multitudes of sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits. (Acts 5:16.) Look through the scriptures, and study past moves of God, and see how great Our work really is.


Joshua 24:31
31 Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

Psalm 111:2
2 The works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.

Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Exodus 14:16
16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

Joshua 6:20
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

II Kings 6:18
18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

Acts 5:16
16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

November, 2013 :: Update from the Mission Field :: Nathan and Dawn Pietsch

written by: Nathan D. Pietsch


Dear Friends and Family,

November was a very stretching month for Dawn and I on the USA mission field. We felt that we were supposed to return to New Orleans. This month was a month of "getting out of the boat, and walking on the water in faith." (Matthew 14:29.) We knew we had just enough money to get to New Orleans, and that was it. Below, you will find a brief update from the mission field, a word of encouragement not to give up before your breakthrough happens, and some special prayer requests. If you are interested in connecting and supporting Nathan and Dawn Pietsch on a personal level you can at: www.allsufficientgod.org.

As full-time missionaries to the United States, we desire to stay true to the call we believe we have received. Our objectives as missionaries is to reach the lost on the streets and in the marketplace in the areas we travel. We accomplish this through power evangelism outreach. Our second objective is to train and equip other churches in power evangelism outreach. Our third objective is to conduct revival meetings and conferences. We have recorded below an update from the mission field.

Mouth of the Mississippi
Since July of this year, it seemed that the Lord was speaking to Dawn and I about returning to New Orleans for season. We were previously in New Orleans for nine months, one and a half years ago. During our previous time in New Orleans, we encountered hundreds of people on the streets. We ministered to witches, Voodoo queens, vampires, drug addicts, gang members, and demon possessed people. New Orleans has been one of the devil’s playgrounds for a long time, with a nasty witchcraft spirit looming over it. However, that is certainly changing, and God is cleaning up this city for His glory.

We are believing God to do a tremendous work in New Orleans and beyond. We were encouraged to discover a prophetic word spoken by Cindy Jacobs way back on August 28, 2005. Cindy said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I am sending My revival fire. It’s going to begin at the mouth of the Mississippi; it’s going to go all the way up the Mississippi, to Minnesota.’”

Many people consider New Orleans to be the “mouth of the Mississippi.” Many people are still waiting for this prophetic word to come to pass.

In the book of Daniel in the Bible, there are many prophecies Daniel received. Some of those prophecies have already been fulfilled, and some are still waiting to be fulfilled, even though they were written hundreds of years ago. Even though Cindy Jacobs’ word seems “old,” people still consider it relevant for today.

Dawn and I are believing God to bring revival to New Orleans, and for this revival to spread beyond. New Orleans and this nation needs another Great Awakening.

Against the Red Sea
I want to encourage you about not giving up before your breakthrough. After the children of Israel left Egypt, they rebelled by the Red Sea. (Psalm 106:7.) When Pharaoh pursued them and drew near, the Israelites became afraid and fell into sin. (Exodus 14:11-12.) The Israelites wanted to surrender moments before their major breakthrough. Their breakthrough—the parting of the Red Sea—is one of the greatest events in human history. They almost missed out on this spectacular event. You might be moments away from your major breakthrough. Don’t miss out on it. Keep focused on Jesus.

Observe My Grace

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I really want you to understand that I am merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. (Psalm 103:8.) I want you to be wise and observe My grace. I want you to understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. (Psalm 107:43.) I am not an angry God, but longsuffering toward people. It is not My desire that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9.) Observe My grace.

Grace is undeserved, unearned, and unmerited favor. I am merciful and gracious. (Exodus 34:6.) There are people who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons. They have rebelled against My words and despised My counsel. However, when they cry to Me in their trouble, I save them out of their distresses. I bring them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and break their chains in pieces. I break the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. There are fools who are afflicted because of their transgressions and iniquities. They draw near to the gates of death. When they cry to Me, I save them out of their distresses. I send My word and heal them. I deliver them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:10-22.) Observe My grace.


Psalm 103:8
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

Psalm 107:43
43 Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

II Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Exodus 34:6
6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,

Psalm 107:10-22
10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Bound in affliction and irons—
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And despised the counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He has broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

17 Fools, because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20 He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare His works with rejoicing.

Holy Communion

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want you to have a greater revelation of the broken body and spilled blood of Jesus at the cross. Jesus' body was broken so you could have health, wholeness, and deliverance from the enemy. Jesus' blood was spilled so you could be set free from sin and death. Jesus died so you could have life, and life more abundantly. (John 10:10.)

A lesser known aspect of the Holy Communion is the ability to be delivered from the torments of the devil. When you remember Jesus' death, you are also proclaiming to the principalities and powers that they have been disarmed, because Jesus has triumphed over them. When you release your faith in the finished, complete, and perfect work of Jesus at the cross, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. This means that every demon and all the darkness has to flee. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. (I Corinthians 11:26.) Jesus has already disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15.) Take communion regularly, and watch the enemy flee.


John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

I Corinthians 11:26
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

Colossians 2:15
15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Against the Red Sea

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I do not want you to rebel or quit moments before your major breakthrough. After the children of Israel left Egypt, they rebelled by the Red Sea. (Psalm 106:7.) When Pharaoh pursued them and drew near, the Israelites became afraid and fell into sin. They cried out to Moses saying, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.” (Exodus 14:11-12.)

The Israelites fell into sin, rebellion, and wanted to surrender moments before their major breakthrough. Their breakthrough--the parting of the Red Sea--is one of the greatest events in human history. They almost missed out on this spectacular event. You might be moments away from your major breakthrough. Don't miss out on it. Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today...” (Exodus 14:13-14.) If you are up against the Red Sea, keep focused on Us.


Psalm 106:7
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

Exodus 14:11-12
11 Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

Exodus 14:13-14
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Holy Visitation

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Today, people all over the world are having holy visitations. People are encountering Us in a deep, personal level that is completely transforming their lives. We are placing a holy fire of passion within them to burn hot for Us. People are encountering angels, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Myself in real ways. The veil between heaven and earth, the supernatural and natural is getting thinner. We are invading earth, and We want you to be prepared for a holy visitation.

Holy visitations are nothing new. When Jacob traveled to meet Esau, Our holy angels met him, and Jacob saw them. Jacob's angelic visitation caused him to recognize Us in a deeper way. (Genesis 32:1-2.) The early church personally encountered the Holy Spirit while gathered together in the upper room. They heard a sound from heaven, saw divided tongues of fire, and were filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4.) Saul physically encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-5.) Moses saw My glory as I passed by him. (Exodus 33:18-23.) You too are worthy of a holy visitation. Begin to ask for, and expect them.


Genesis 32:1-2
1 So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.  2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

Acts 2:1-4
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 9:1-5
1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.  4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

Exodus 33:18-23
18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”

19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”  20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”  21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.  22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.  23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”

Sacrifice of Thanksgiving

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Did you know when you give a free will offering of thanksgiving to Us, you are actually making a sacrifice? (Leviticus 22:29.) You actually have a choice to be thankful or ungrateful for anything in your life. The apostle Paul was Divinely inspired to write, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7.)

We do not want you to be anxious about anything. However, let your requests be made known to Us by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Even if you do not understand a situation, you are still called to be thankful in it. Sometimes that is easier said than done, but ask Me to help you have a thankful heart. A thankful heart opens the door to Our presence.
When Solomon dedicated the temple, the people praised and thanked Us. We were so moved by their worship and thankfulness, that We filled the house with Our glory cloud. The people tangibly experienced Our presence. (II Chronicles 5:13-14.) Regardless of your situation, a sacrifice of thanksgiving, will always draw Our attention.


Leviticus 22:29
29 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

II Chronicles 5:13-14
13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:

“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,”

that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,  14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

The Coming Outpouring

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want to give you some insight of what I am about to do upon the earth. I will arise and have mercy upon your city. For the time to favor your city, Yes, the set time, has come. The nations shall fear My name, and all the kings of the earth shall experience My glory. For I shall build up your city, and I shall appear in My glory.

I shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayers. This outpouring will be written for the generations to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord. For I have looked down from the height of My sanctuary. From heaven I have viewed the earth. I have heard the groaning of the prisoner, and desire to release those appointed to death, so they can declare My name among the nations. When the peoples and kingdoms are being gathered together, so they can serve the Lord. (Psalm 102:13-22.)

This coming outpouring will require many people to help disciple those freshly coming into Our kingdom. My leaders will need to be firmly planted in the word, and established in Our relationship. Can I count on you to help in this outpouring?


Psalm 102:13-22
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;
He shall appear in His glory.
17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.
18 This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
19 For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth,
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death,
21 To declare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

Let's Talk

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Hi, how are you? What would you like to talk about? Did you know you can talk to Me about anything? I am an upclose and personal God. I am also your friend. (John 15:15.) As a friend, you can share what is on your heart with Me. Even though I am God, I'm not embarrassed by the questions, thoughts, or concerns you might have. Maybe there are some things you would like to just get off your chest. If you are laboring and heavy laden, I want you to come to Me so I can give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30.) Let's talk.

How would you entertain a guest in your home? You would probably at least offer them to sit down. As you begin to talk to Me, listen to My responses. You may think they are your "own thoughts," but I often speak through people's minds as thoughts. Listen to what I am saying in your mind. I might even physically walk into the room like I did with My disciples after My resurrection. (John 20:19-20.)


John 15:15
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

John 20:19-20
19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”  20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

Rejoicing Cities

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. (Isaiah 66:1.) All things were created through Me, and for Me. (Colossians 1:16.) That means all the cities of the world are Mine, and I want My cities to rejoice. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 11:10-11.)

I want to pour out My blessings over you, so you can be a blessing to My cities. I want to replace the wicked leaders with My righteous leaders. When the wickedness is removed, the oppression over a region lifts. When the oppression over a region lifts, the city can flourish. When the city flourishes, there is great rejoicing.

There was great joy in My city of Samaria because of Philip's obedience to Us. Philip spoke to the people, and We performed miracles through him. Consequently, the oppression over the city began to lift as unclean spirits left the people and territory. This resulted in healings manifesting, and the city celebrating. (Acts 8:6-8.) I also want to use you to bring joy to My cities.


Isaiah 66:1
1 Thus says the Lord:

“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?

Colossians 1:16
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Proverbs 11:10-11
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

Acts 8:6-8
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

Heaven is Jesus

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. During Jesus' earthly ministry, Jesus compared the kingdom of God in multiple ways. Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed. (Luke 13:18-19.) He likened the kingdom of God to leaven. (Luke 13:20-21.) Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to treasure hidden in a field when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." (Matthew 13:44.) Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a pearl of great price when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46.)

Ultimately, heaven is Jesus. If there is no Jesus, there is no heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6.) If Jesus is not the focal point of your life, everything else is empty and fading away. Jesus is the pearl of great price that nothing else can compare to.


Luke 13:18-19
18 Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

Luke 13:20-21
20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”

Matthew 13:44
44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."

Matthew 13:45-46
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Follow the Leader

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Through Me, you can do all things because I strengthen you. (Philippians 4:13.) Do you believe this? Do you believe I am the same yesterday, today, and forever? (Hebrews 13:8.) Our prophet Ezekiel was told to speak to a valley of dry bones. There was no life in those bones until he spoke Our word forth. Our words through him caused those bones to live. (Ezekiel 37:4-5.) Our words through you, are just as powerful as through Ezekiel. Our words spoken through you, are just as powerful as Our words spoken from Our own mouths. Our words are still Our words, regardless of the mouth piece.

It is time to start speaking Our words, and causing valleys of dry bones to become living. As you closely hear what We are saying, and closely see what We are doing, and then mimic Us, you will see tremendous fruit. During My earthly ministry, I only spoke what I heard the Father speak, and only did what I saw the Father do. (John 12:49-50, John 5:19.) We are ready to use you in powerful ways, but We are the Leaders, and you have to know where the Leaders are going.


Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Ezekiel 37:4-5
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live."

John 12:49-50
49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

John 5:19
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

You Are My War Club

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. We spoke through Our prophet Haggai saying, "I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory." (Haggai 2:6-7.) I am causing a shaking and a stirring to happen right now among the nations. Everything that can be shaken will eventually be shaken. It is time for Our church to say among the nations, "The Lord reigns."

We want to use you powerfully in the harvest field. We want to use you to destroy the kingdoms of darkness, and lead people into relationship with Us. We want to say to you, "You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver, with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter young man and young woman, with you I shatter shepherd and flock, with you I shatter farmer and oxen, with you I shatter governors and officials." (Jeremiah 51:20-23.) The shattering causes softness, and the softness welcomes Us. (Psalm 95:8.)


Haggai 2:6-7
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.

Jeremiah 51:20-23
20 “You are my war club,
    my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter nations,
    with you I destroy kingdoms,
21 with you I shatter horse and rider,
    with you I shatter chariot and driver,
22 with you I shatter man and woman,
    with you I shatter old man and youth,
    with you I shatter young man and young woman,
23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock,
    with you I shatter farmer and oxen,
    with you I shatter governors and officials.

Psalm 95:8
8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,
    as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,

Discern the Wolves

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Not only do pastor and overseers of Our church have a responsibility to guard the "sheep," but all people in the church have such a responsibility. When Jesus sent out His disciples He said, "I send you out as lambs among wolves." (Luke 10:3.) The wolves are not only on the outside of the church, but they also find their way into the church disguised in "sheep's clothing." It is time for Our church to discern such wolves, expose them, and protect those who are not as strong in the faith.

Paul warned of perilous times and perilous men. Paul wrote, "In the last days perilous times will come: men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. From such people turn away! This sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (II Timothy 3:1-7.) Ask Me to help you discern the wolves.



Luke 10:3
3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

II Timothy 3:1-7
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Signs and Wonders

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. In My name and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you are called to walk in mighty signs, wonders, and miracles. I am a wonder working God. And I want to partner with you. When I commissioned My disciples, I said to them, "These signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18.) As they went and preached everywhere, We worked with them and confirmed Our word through the accompanying signs. (Mark 16:20.) Signs and wonders confirm Our word.

When Philip went down to the city of Samaria, he preached Christ to them. The multitudes heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city. (Acts 8:5-8.) When I am preached, and signs and wonders follow your life empowered by Us, there will be great joy in the cities.


Mark 16:17-18
17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Mark 16:20
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Acts 8:5-8
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

My Promise

I AM the Heavenly Father. After Jesus' death and resurrection, He sent My Promise of the Holy Spirit upon the early church. They were to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49.) This power was to help them witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8.) My Promise was not only for a select few, but for everybody who desires to receive it. Believe Me, you want My Promise.

The Holy Spirit will help you speak with other tongues. (Acts 2:4.) When the Holy Spirit is poured out, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. (Acts 2:17.) When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will speak the word of God with great boldness. (Acts 4:31.) When you are empowered by the Holy Spirit, many signs and wonders will be done among the people. (Acts 5:12.) Sick people, and those who are tormented by unclean spirits, will be healed for Our glory. (Acts 5:16.)

The early church walked in this great power because they received My Promise. This Promise is available to you right now. How much more will I give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Me! (Luke 11:13.)

Peace and Rest

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I will keep you in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Me. (Isaiah 26:3.) I want to give you perfect peace even in the midst of the storm. It is possible to rest through the turbulence. There is a rest I want all the people of God to experience. Be diligent to enter that rest. (Hebrews 4:9-11.)

Jesus is your perfect example. He was able to rest when everyone else thought they were going to die. Jesus told His disciples to cross over to the other side of the sea. However, a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was filling up with water. When the disciples went to Jesus, they found him asleep on a pillow. (Mark 4:35-38.)

If the world seems to be crashing down around you, keep your mind focused on Us. We will keep you in Our perfect peace. When you keep your attention fixed on Us, you will be able to rebuke the winds and the waves of the storms of life. People around you will wonder how you are so peaceful and restful in the midst of chaos. You will be able to steer them to Us.


Isaiah 26:3
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Hebrews 4:9-11
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. 11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

Mark 4:35-38
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
