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

written by: Nathan D. Pietsch
 
When Dawn and I shut down our three businesses, and entered into full-time ministry, we had no idea what was in front of us. Being in full-time ministry has by far been our most rewarding "job," but also the most stretching.

Thankfully, July was extremely rewarding for us. It is always such a joy to help people step into their true God-given destinies. It is an honor to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and set at liberty those who are oppressed. (Luke 4:18-19.)

Dawn and I are currently and temporarily overseeing a Healing House connected with a large church in California. People from all over the world come to the Healing House in order to visit the church.

Dawn and I had the privilege to host a team of Norwegians at the Healing House. God is doing an amazing and powerful work in Scandinavia. God is training up and empowering His saints for a mighty move in Europe and beyond.

We were able to minister to, pray for, and prophecy over the Norwegian team. We were also able to activate the team to better hear the voice of God and prophecy over others. According to the Bible, one who prophesies should speak edification, exhortation, and comfort to people. (I Corinthians 14:3.) Being able to prophecy over another person can instantly pull them out of the dark, and into the Light.

Dawn and I have also been able to join the ministry team at the church we have connected with. This has resulted in us being able to pray for people from all over the world, and also with all sorts of various issues.

One woman we were able to pray for had chronic pain in her thumbs. This may not seem like a major deal, but it absolutely hindered her life. We were able to pray for her, and all the pain left her body.

Another woman we were able to minister to was named, "Cathy." Cathy was in her thirties. Cathy had a tremendous amount of emotional trauma. When she was an infant, she was sexually molested by another woman. This resulted in a tremendous amount of shame, guilt, and fear. This also resulted in her struggling with a homosexual spirit.

Cathy was actually married to a man, but their relationship suffered a lot because of the childhood trauma. God showed up in a powerful way. God began to reveal to us very clear and specific words of knowledge on how to help Cathy become free. We were able to lead her through prayers of forgiveness and renunciations. After we were done ministering to her, her entire countenance had changed. She looked a lot younger, and her face seemed to radiate joy.

We want to encourage you to step out in boldness and tell somebody how much Jesus loves them. The person you tell may never be the same, nor will you.

Spared From Backsliding

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Why go back to the junk? Why go back to the filth? You do not need to go back to your old lifestyle. Please don't wash, and then go wallow in the mire. (II Peter 2:22.) Please don't be like a dog who returns to its own vomit. (Proverbs 26:11.) There is nothing this world can offer you, that is better than what We have for you. I want you to really experience Heaven while on earth. I want you to really taste and see that the Lord is good. (Psalm 34:8.) I want you to really encounter Me in a personal way. When you really experience, taste, see, and encounter Us, there will be no desire to go back into the mud.

I want you to always be good ground, who hears the word and understands it. I want you to produce and bear much fruit. (Matthew 13:18-23.) I want to spare you from backsliding, and sinking into miry clay. We have placed you on the Rock, and We want you to have a firm foundation in Us. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on Us, and you won't fear losing sight of Us.


II Peter 2:22
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Proverbs 26:11
11 As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.

Psalm 34:8
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Matthew 13:18-23
18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:  19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.  20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;  21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.  22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.  23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Character and Nature

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want to release hope into you pertaining to My character and nature. I want you to know, I do great things. I do marvelous things that cannot be numbered. I give rain on the earth. I send water on the fields. I set on high those who are lowly. Those who mourn I lift to safety. I frustrate the devices of the crafty. I save the needy from the sword. I give hope to the poor. I cause injustice to shut her mouth. I bind up bruises and make whole.

I deliver you in troubles, and in Me no evil shall touch you. In famine, I shall redeem you from death. In war, I shall save you from the power of the sword. I hide you from the scourge of the tongue. I make you not afraid of destruction if it comes. I cause you to laugh at destruction and famine. I cause you not to be afraid of the beasts of the earth, and you shall be at peace with them. I cause your house to be in peace, and keep the thief away. I cause your descendants to be many, and your offspring like the grass of the earth. I give you long life. (Job 5:8-27.) This is My character and nature.


Job 5:8-27
8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
10 He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
11 He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
13 He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15 But He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.

17 “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
20 In famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
25 You shall also know that your descendants shall be many,
And your offspring like the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
27 Behold, this we have searched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”

Beauty Preparations

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want to give you beauty preparations. The day of your wedding is approaching and I want you to be completely ready. In the days of Esther, beauty preparations were given to the young women who were to be presented before the king. (Esther 2:2-3.) The women had an entire year of beauty preparation. They spent six months being prepared with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and other preparations for beautifying women. Once they were prepared, they were taken before the king. (Esther 2:12-13.)

The day you stand before the King - the King of kings - is also approaching. Like the women in Esther's days, I want you to be prepared for the King. I want to polish you inside and out. I am your anointing oil. I want to rub on you and make every area of your life shine bright. I want My sweet perfume fragrance to permeate every aspect of your being. I want you to be wise with your lamp radiating brightly, and your oil full. (Matthew 25:1-13.) I want you to be prepared for your visitation with the King. Will you let Me prepare you?


Esther 2:2-3
2 Then the king’s servants who attended him said: “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king;  3 and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women’s quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them.

Esther 2:12-13
12 Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months’ preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.  13 Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women’s quarters to the king’s palace.

Matthew 25:1-13
1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.  2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.  3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,  4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’  7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.  8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’  9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’  10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’  12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Come Explore

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I want you to come and explore Our kingdom. I once said to My disciples, and I also say to you, "It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 13:11.) There are so many mysterious of Our kingdom waiting for you to search out. There are so many revelations We want to share with you.

Our revelations will draw you into a deeper relationship with Us. They will also be supported and confirmed by scripture. If you let the Holy Spirit lead you, and if you go through Me - your open door - there are no limitations, nor anything to fear. (John 10:1-10, Luke 1:37.) You are free to explore the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

Did you know it is Our glory to conceal a matter, but your glory to search out a matter? (Proverbs 25:2.) We purposely hide revelations for you to search out. We don't conceal a matter from you in a tenacious way, but rather give you an invitation to draw closer to Us. John the Revelator was given an invitation saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things..." (Revelation 4:1-2.) We invite you too saying, "Come up here and explore the kingdom of heaven."


Matthew 13:11
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given."

John 10:1-10
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.  2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.  3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.  5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”  6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.  9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  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.

Luke 1:37
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.

Proverbs 25:2
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Revelation 4:1-2
1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

Strong Leadership

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want to draw your attention to a humble man who helped shape history, and bring about spiritual revival. This man was, Ezra the priest. Ezra led a group of Judean exiles living in Babylon to their home city of Jerusalem. (Ezra 8:1.) He helped draw the nation out of paganism, and back to Me. (Ezra 10:10-12.) Ezra was a national leader. You also have strong leadership qualities within you.

As a strong leader, you must be humble. You also must be completely dependent upon Me. Ezra was a wise leader. He proclaimed a fast that they might humble themselves before Me. They sought from Me the right way for them and their families to go. They desired direction and protection from Me, and I answered their prayer. (Ezra 8:21-23.) Ezra's heart towards Me caused My hand to upon them. I delivered them from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road. (Ezra 8:31.)

You are also one of My leaders in your sphere of influence. As you put your complete trust in Me, My hand will also be upon you. I will keep the enemy from ambushing you along your journey. I will prevent him from stealing, killing, or destroying from you. (John 10:10.) Let Me guide your every step.


Ezra 8:1
8 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of King Artaxerxes:

Ezra 10:10-12
10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel.  11 Now therefore, make confession to the Lord God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”
12 Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes! As you have said, so we must do.

Ezra 8:21-23
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.  22 For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.”  23 So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer.

Ezra 8:31
31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.

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.

Start Over

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want you to know you can start over at any time. Regardless of what you have done, or haven't done, We are a God of new beginnings. Our compassion never fails, and our mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23.) We are gracious, and want the best for you. Sometimes people get stuck in a rut of shame, resentment, and self-condemnation for the mistakes they have made. This will keep any person in bondage and oppression. We don't want you living in this rut. Today is a new day, a day of new beginnings, a day of new mercies.

I want to liberate you right now from self-condemnation. The Bible says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1.) You can come out of any rut you have been living in, and step into a clean blanket of grace placed on your life. I do not want you to remember your former ways, nor consider the things of old. I will do a new thing, and it shall spring forth now. I will make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:18-19.) You have permission to start over.


Lamentations 3:22-23
22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

Romans 8:1
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Isaiah 43:18-19
18 “Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

Safe and Secure

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. You have safety in Me. You have security in Me. You are safe and secure in Me. I want you to understand your position in Me. During My earthly ministry, I desired to gather the children of Jerusalem together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but they were not willing. (Luke 13:34.) You on the other hand, are willing to find safety and security in Me. Those who find safety and security in Me, can never be snatched out of My hand. (John 10:28-30.)

The safety and security I offer you comes with an added bonus of peace. I say to you, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27.) Rest in My peace.

You are safe and secure in Me. I am your insurance. I am your great physician. I became poor that you might become rich. (II Corinthians 8:9.) I am a husband to the husbandless. I am closer to you than a brother. I am your all in all. I am your safety and security.


Luke 13:34
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!

John 10:28-30
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  30 I and My Father are one.

John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

II Corinthians 8:9
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

Rewarded Work

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want you to know, your work shall be rewarded, and there is hope in your future. Sometimes you may wonder if you are going anywhere, or getting closer to stepping into your true destiny. I want you to take courage, knowing that your labor shall be rewarded. No matter what you are facing, We have given you the victory through Jesus Christ. Be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord. Please know, your labor is not in vain in Us. (I Corinthians 15:57-58.)

I don't want you to lose heart or burn out. Grab ahold of Our promises. We are a rewarder of those who diligently seek Us. (Hebrews 11:6.) There may be times when you feel as if you are laboring and laboring but not seeing the fruit. There may be times when you don't always see the fruit come to fruition. There are times when you plant, but another waters. Ultimately, each one will receive their own reward according to their own labor. (I Corinthians 3:5-8.) Your work shall be rewarded, and there is hope in your future.


I Corinthians 15:57-58
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

I Corinthians 3:5-8
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?  6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.  7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.  8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Help in Weakness

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I help you in your weaknesses. (Romans 8:26.) There are times when temptation comes knocking on your door, but I can help you in times of weakness. Adam and Eve's son, Cain was told, "If you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it." (Genesis 4:7.) Sadly, Cain did not rule over sin and evil, but was ruled by it.

I want you to rule over any temptation that ever comes your way. I want you to be above reproach. In all things I want you to show yourself to be a pattern of good works. In doctrine, I want you to show integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, and sound speech that cannot be condemned. In this way, one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. (Titus 2:7-8.)

I can help you overcome any temptation or obstacle. Please know, We are faithful. We will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation We will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (I Corinthians 10:13.) I am your Helper in times of weakness. Ask for My help.


Romans 8:26
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.

Genesis 4:7
7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

Titus 2:7-8
7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,  8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

I Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Lacking Nothing

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. When I sent My twelve disciples out to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick, I gave them some interesting instructions. I gave them instructions that could not compute with a logical mindset. I said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” My disciples obeyed My instructions, and went throughout the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. (Luke 9:1-6.)

I later questioned them about their mission experience. I asked, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” Their response was, “Nothing.” (Luke 22:35.) My disciples went preaching the gospel and healing everywhere, taking nothing, but lacking nothing. That was faith. I want to release this kind of faith in you. As you step out in radical faith to preach the gospel and heal everywhere, We want you to know We can provide for you. You go, and We will work out the details.


Luke 9:1-6
1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.  2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.  3 And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.

4 “Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.  5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Luke 22:35
35 And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.”

Be Still

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Have you ever thought about having a detox? I am not talking physically, I am talking spiritually. Have you considered turning off your phones, televisions, computers, and other technological advances for a season, to just encounter Us? A psalm written in the past still has validity today. The psalm says, "Be still, and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10.) Sometimes you need to just sit still. In your sitting still, and tuning your senses towards Us, you will experience and encounter Us. We are always speaking, and We want you to always be hearing. You might even need to change your surroundings, and escape from your daily demands.

There are numerous ways to hear and experience Us by being still. After you find your quiet place, you can open your Bible. The Bible is a great way to hear Our voice. Or perhaps you want to turn on some soft instrumental music, lie down, be still, and let Our presence and love wash over you. Or maybe you would prefer to sit in silence and journal the words I am speaking to you. What ever you decide, be still and know that I am God.


Psalm 46:10
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

The Majesty of Jesus

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. One of My functions as the Holy Spirit is to confess Jesus Christ is Lord. (I Corinthians 12:3.) I help lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus. I point people to the Savior of the world - the sacrificial Lamb - Jesus Christ. (John 3:16.) I help reveal the majesty of Jesus.

I want you to see the majesty of Jesus from the Heavenly realm. John the Revelator records a beautiful picture of Heavenly beings exalting the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ. I want you to be transformed from the inside out, knowing what Jesus did for you on the cross, and how worthy He is to receive glory and honor.

Look into Heaven, and see what John saw. The Bible records, "You [Jesus] are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood...” (Revelation 5:8-10.) “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” (Revelation 5:11-12.) “Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13.) This is the majesty of Jesus.


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.

John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Revelation 5:8-10
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.  9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

Revelation 5:11-12
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,  12 saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

Revelation 5:13
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

Travel to Encounter

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I am omnipresent. You can encounter Me anywhere. The apostle Paul reinforced what Moses said, "But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart." (Romans 10:6-8.) I am on your lips, and only a breath away.

However, there are certain people, ministries, and regions that have learned to steward Our presence to greater capacities. There are certain areas where Our presence and glory manifest in higher levels. For example, when Solomon dedicated the temple, Our presence and glory filled the place. (II Chronicles 5:11-14.)

Solomon touched Our hearts in such a way, We opened a portal for Our glory and fire to manifest upon the earth for all of Israel to see. (II Chronicles 7:1-3.) Do not be afraid to travel to locations where Our presence is thick. Receive all you can from that person, ministry, or region and take it with you to release on others. Even the wise men traveled a great distance to encounter Me. (Matthew 2:1-2.)


Romans 10:6-8
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above)  7 or, “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).  8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

II Chronicles 5:11-14
11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),  12 and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—  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.

II Chronicles 7:1-3
7 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.  2 And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house.  3 When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying:

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

Matthew 2:1-2
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

Know Us

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I know everything about you. I have searched you and known you. I know your sitting down and your rising up. I understand your thoughts. I comprehend your paths and your lying down. I am acquainted with all your ways. (Psalm 139:1-3.) The very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Matthew 10:30.) I know everything about you. The question is, do you know Me?

Many people learn about Us in Sunday school or church. They learn about some of Our characteristics and attributes. They might have some head knowledge of Us, and may have even received Jesus to be their Lord, but they still don't know who We are. I want you to really know Us. I want you to know Our voice. I want you to know what is on Our hearts. I want you to feel Our presence. I want you to encounter Us.

Some of King David's final instructions to his son Solomon were, "Know the God of your father." (I Chronicles 28:9.) If you really know Us in a deep and personal way, you will keep yourself from years of heartache. If you experience Us on a regular basis, you won't desire to experience a counterfeit. I want you to know Us.


Psalm 139:1-3
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.

Matthew 10:30
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

I Chronicles 28:9
9 “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever."

House Builder

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. King David desired to build Us a house that was exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. (I Chronicles 22:5.) However, We spoke to the prophet Nathan to tell David that he shall not build Us a house. (I Chronicles 17:1-15.) Though it was good in David's heart, he was not the one to build it.

I want you to see something very valuable in David's desire, and in Our character. David's desire was to honor Us by building Us a house. Instead We honored him by building him a house. (I Chronicles 17:10.) David was so humbled by Our goodness, he came and sat before Us. His words were: "Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God." (I Chronicles 17:16-27.)

I am not only talking about providing you with a physical house to live in, but building your legacy that expands for generations. As you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33.)


I Chronicles 22:5
5 Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.

I Chronicles 17:1-15
1 Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.”

2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”

3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,  4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.  5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.  6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar–’”’  7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.  8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.  9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,  10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a house.  11 And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.  12 He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.  13 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.  14 And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.”’”

15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

I Chronicles 17:10
10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a house.

I Chronicles 17:16-27
16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?  17 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God.  18 What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.  19 O Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.  20 O Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.  21 And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people—to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?  22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.

23 “And now, O Lord, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.  24 So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.  25 For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You.  26 And now, Lord, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant.  27 Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever.”

Matthew 6:33
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Thankfulness

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Thankfulness will always open the door to Heaven invading earth. Moments before I raised Lazarus from the dead, I lifted up My eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." (John 11:41-44.) A thankful heart can actually release the supernatural.

The psalmist wrote, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." (Psalm 100:4.) When you have words of thanksgiving on your lips, and thankfulness in your heart, you actually enter into Our presence.

David was a man after Our own heart. (Acts 13:22.) David was a mighty man, whom We used to do great exploits. David had a heart of praise and thanksgiving. Listen to a short portion of his song of thankfulness. "Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! (I Chronicles 16:8-10.) I also want you to have a heart of thankfulness.


John 11:41-44
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.  42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”  43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”  44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

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

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.’

I Chronicles 16:8-10
8 Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
10 Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

Time of Comfort

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. It is a time of comfort. I want to comfort you in all areas of your life. Let Our Word wash waves of comfort over you. "This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." (Psalm 119:50.) "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4.) "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4.) "But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men." (I Corinthians 14:3.) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." (II Corinthians 1:3-4.)

I want to comfort you. Receive My comfort. As you are comforted, you will be able to comfort others who are in trouble. In the multitude of anxieties, let Our comforts delight your soul. (Psalm 94:19.)


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

Psalm 23:4
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Matthew 5:4
4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.

I Corinthians 14:3
3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

II Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Psalm 94:19
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

Your Greatest Ally

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I am so sorry for the way some people treat other people. We created mankind with a free will. Humans have a choice how they want to live. Some people prefer darkness over light, and those living in darkness can be abusive, destructive, and damaging to others. I am so sorry for the way some people have treated you throughout your lifetime. They did not know how valuable you are.

If you find yourself in a battle, let Us fight for you. Listen to Our words. The Bible says, "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord." (Romans 12:19.) I want to fight all of your battles for you.
The children of Israel found themselves in many battles. In one instance, they battled the Hagrites. The Hagrites were delivered into the hand of the Israelites because Israel cried out to Us in the battle. We heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Us. We fought for them, because the war was Our's. (I Chronicles 5:18-22.)

If you find yourself in a struggle, conflict, or battle cry out to Us. Ask Us to war on your behalf. You will find Us fighting for you. Nothing can defeat Us. We are your greatest ally.


Romans 12:19
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

I Chronicles 5:18-22
18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war.  19 They made war with the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.  20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.  21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men;  22 for many fell dead, because the war was God’s. And they dwelt in their place until the captivity.

Rainbow of Promise

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I want you to picture a rainbow for a moment. The rainbow speaks of promise and covenant. Following the great flood, the rainbow was placed in the clouds as a perpetual sign of Our covenant to creation. (Genesis 9:12-17.) I want you to know that all of Our promises are Yes and Amen. I also want to show you some of the fulfilled promises in the Word.

We promised the Israelites that We would lead them into a land in which We would give them. (Exodus 12:25.) That promise was fulfilled when they crossed the river Jordan. (Joshua 3:17.) All that We promised the children of Israel through Moses came to pass. (I Kings 8:56.) We gave Solomon wisdom as We promised him. (I Kings 5:12.) I sent the Promise of the Father, which was the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:49.) This was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost in the upper room. (Acts 2:1-4.)

Now I want you to think about some of Our promises to you. Envision Our rainbow of promises over your life. Remember, Our promises are Yes and Amen. You can rest assured in Our promises. We will fulfill every promise We have ever made.


Genesis 9:12-17
12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:  13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.  14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;  15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.  16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”  17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

II Corinthians 1:20
20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Exodus 12:25
25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

Joshua 3:17
17 Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

I Kings 8:56
56 Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

I Kings 5:12
12 So the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

Luke 24:49
49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.

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.

Faith and Boldness

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I encourage you to step out in faith and boldness. Your faith and boldness will catch the gaze of Heaven. Some of the great heroes throughout human history took tremendous risks for Us. They stepped out in faith and boldness, and We supported them against all odds. Their acts of faith and boldness brought about great military accomplishments, and national revivals.

Prince Jonathan and his armorbearer did something that most people would call completely foolish. However, they stepped out in great faith and boldness in an effort to conquer the Philistines. They captured My heart, I supported their plan, and their boldness ignited those cowering in the mountains to step into their destinies. (I Samuel 14:6-23.) Holy boldness will always light a fire in others.
Elijah's faith and boldness on Mount Carmel brought an entire nation back to Me. (I Kings 18:20-40.) Elijah's great act of courage pulled Israel out of the teeth of the devil. Elijah's willingness to risk everything, captured My heart.

My heart is for people. I don't want any to perish. (II Peter 3:9.) If your heart beats with My heart, I will stand behind you too. I want to use you mightily for My glory, but you must be willing to step out in faith and boldness. Watch what I do through you.


I Samuel 14:6-23
6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”

7 So his armorbearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart.”

8 Then Jonathan said, “Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.  9 If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them.  10 But if they say thus, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up. For the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us.”

11 So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden.”  12 Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something.”

Jonathan said to his armorbearer, “Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”  13 And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them.  14 That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about half an acre of land.

15 And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.  16 Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they went here and there.  17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Now call the roll and see who has gone from us.” And when they had called the roll, surprisingly, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.  18 And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here” (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).  19 Now it happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase; so Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”  20 Then Saul and all the people who were with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and indeed every man’s sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.  21 Moreover the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the surrounding country, they also joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.  22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden in the mountains of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, they also followed hard after them in the battle.  23 So the Lord saved Israel that day, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven.

I Kings 18:20-40
20 So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.  21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.  22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.  23 Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.  24 Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”

So all the people answered and said, “It is well spoken.”

25 Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”

26 So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made.

27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.”  28 So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.  29 And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.

30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.  31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”  32 Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.  33 And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.”  34 Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time; and he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time.  35 So the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.

36 And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word.  37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”

38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.  39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”

40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.

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.

Prophetic Revelation

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want to make it really easy for you in life. If you can get this one principle, your life will dramatically change and improve. This is the principle: find out what are We doing and saying, and then do and say what We are doing and saying. This is prophetic revelation. You need continuous prophetic revelation of what We are doing and saying. When you know what We are doing, you can follow Our leading. When you know what We are saying, you can say what We are saying. If you can learn this, there will be no more guess work on what you should do. You do not need to walk around in the wilderness for forty years like the Israelites did. You can move right into the promised land.

We are always speaking. Learn to tune your ears to hear Our voice. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27.) You have the ability to hear Our voices. It is so important to receive Our prophetic revelations. Where there is no vision, or prophetic revelation, the people perish. (Proverbs 29:18 KJV.) You must hear Our voice, and then act upon what you hear.


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

Proverbs 29:18
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Walk in Your Authority

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I want you to see how much authority you have in Me. The same authority that I have, I have given you. After My resurrection I came and spoke to My disciples saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18.) I have also given you the same authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19.) You need to know your authority in Me for many reason. One reason is because it could save your life, or your loved ones.

Nobody had power or authority over Me to kill Me. I willingly laid down My life. (John 10:17-18.) Pontius Pilate believed he had power to crucify Me. I answered him saying, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” (John 19:10-11.)

I was attempted to be murdered on several occasions. (Luke 4:28-30, John 8:59.) However, the enemy had no power or authority over Me. I want you to realize you have that same authority in Me. Walk in your true authority.


Matthew 28:18
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

Luke 10:19
19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

John 10:17-18
17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.  18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”

John 19:10-11
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

Luke 4:28-30
28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,  29 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.  30 Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

John 8:59
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Time of Affirmation

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want to affirm you as My child. I want to remove deep wounds that may have been caused by your earthly parents. Deep wounds can actual hold you back from receiving all that I have for you. Regardless of your age, you will always be My child, and I love you dearly.

I want you to know how proud I am of you. You are so special. Feel My arms embracing you. Everything is going to be alright. I release My peace and love into you right now. You are My pride and joy. I am singing over you. I am rejoicing over you. I am celebrating you.

I did not need to create you. However, I choose to. Can you believe My heart was not content until I formed you? That is how much I love you. I have placed so much within you. You are full of talents, gifts, and abilities. I want you to know how valuable you really are. You are the twinkle in My eye. You bring a smile to My face. You bring Me so much joy. Thank you for being My child.

Realms of Glory

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want to show you realms of Our glory. First, I want to show you from the Bible what another saw of Our glory realm. Then I want you to have your own experiences. The prophet Isaiah records an experience of seeing into the heavenly realm. The Bible says, "I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said:

'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!'

And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. (Isaiah 6:1-4.)

Can you envision what Isaiah saw? I want to show you mysteries of Our kingdom too. Close your eyes, and let Me take you places. There is so much I want to reveal to you. You might think what you are seeing in the Spirit is only your imagination. However, you are already seated in heavenly places, and have the mind of Christ. (Ephesians 2:6, I Corinthians 2:16.) Let Me show you realms of glory.


Isaiah 6:1-4
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.  2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.  3 And one cried to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”

4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

Ephesians 2:6
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

I Corinthians 2:16
16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Free To Be You

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. You are free to be you. I give you permission to have freedom. I do not want you to be bound under religious law, legalism, or works. I want you to be free in Me, so you can represent Me to the world. Freedom isn't liberty to sin, it is liberty from slavery, detention, oppression, and religion. Religion can make a person burn out, become dry, or crucify others. It was the religious leaders who spoke against Me with their words, and sentenced Me to death.

I did not go through a brutal torture and crucifixion so you could play church. I died so all people could have relationship with the Heavenly Father, Myself, and the Holy Spirit. I died to reconcile the world. (II Corinthians 5:19.) I died so you can have freedom. I died so you can be all you were created to be.

During My earthly ministry I did not fit into the "religious box." The religious leaders came against Me because I was a Friend to tax collectors and sinners. (Matthew 11:19.) You judge the fruit of My ministry. You also have a ministry to fulfill in your life. It may look different, but you will be known by your fruit. (Matthew 12:33.) You are free to be you, and to fulfill your destiny.


II Corinthians 5:19
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Matthew 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

Matthew 11:19
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

Matthew 12:33
33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

Truth Replaces Lies

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. It is a great day. Let Me share some truths with you. These truths will brighten your day, and your life. You are the apple of My eye. (Psalm 7:8.) You are on My mind. (Psalm 8:4.) You are the head and not the tail. You are above and not beneath. (Deuteronomy 28:3.) You are clothed with garments of salvation and covered with the robe of righteousness. (Isaiah 61:10.) You are a crown of glory and royal diadem in My hand. (Isaiah 62:3.) You are loved with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3.) You are a saint. (Romans 1:7.) You are free from condemnation. (Romans 8:1.) You are My son. (Romans 8:4.) You are more than a conqueror. (Romans 8:37.) You are a chosen generation, a royal priest, My own special person. (I Peter 2:9.)

I want you to believe the truths We say about you. Truths will always replace lies. Truth revelation will liberate you. I encourage you to meditate on the above truths. If you ever have a less glorious day, remember, you are the apple of My eye. You are on My mind. You are free from condemnation. You are more than a conqueror. Don't you feel better already?

Shifting Spiritual Atmospheres

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want you to know who I am. I dwell inside of you. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 6:19.) You should know who I am who dwells within you. The Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and Myself are One. We are the Godhead, three in one. To better understand the Father and Jesus, you need to better understand who I am.

Spend time each day specifically talking with Me. Invite Me into every part of your life. I want to invade your space, and change the spiritual atmospheres around you. I want your spiritual atmospheres to resemble more of Heaven. Jesus said, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10.) If you are in a negative environment or oppressive spiritual atmosphere, invite Me to invade your space. My very presence can shift the atmosphere from chaos to peace.

I am with you everywhere you go. Learn to hear My voice, and release My presence through you. I am a sweet aroma. Let Me saturate you with Me. The more you are saturated with Me, spiritual atmospheres will shift around you simply because of My presence in you. Practice releasing Me, and see what happens.


I Corinthians 6:19
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Matthew 6:10
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

Greater Works

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I want you to know that I can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you. (Ephesians 3:20.) I am also the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8.) I want to highlight some of the miracles I did during My earthly ministry. If I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, what I did then, I can do today.

During My earthly ministry I healed the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others. Those who were missing body parts were made whole. (Matthew 15:30-31.) I cleansed ten lepers in a village. (Luke 17:11-19.) I raised the dead son of the widow of Nain. (Luke 7:11-17.) I cast out an unclean spirit at the synagogue in Capernaum. (Mark 1:21-28.)

Now I propose a challenge to you. The challenge is to do greater works than I did. Listen to My words. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." (John 14:12.) You have been given permission to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons in My name. (Matthew 10:8.) You can begin anytime.


Ephesians 3:20
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

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

Matthew 15:30-31
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.

Luke 17:11-19
11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.  13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,  16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?  18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”  19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Luke 7:11-17
11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.  12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.  13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”  14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”  15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

16 Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, “God has visited His people.”  17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

Mark 1:21-28
21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.  22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,  24 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”  26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.  27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”  28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

John 14:12
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."

Matthew 10:8
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

Open the Bible

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. When you need direction, encouragement, or comfort open the Bible and begin to read. Listen to the following passage, and see how you feel. "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 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. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." (Philippians 4:4-8.)

In this passage, you are told to be anxious for nothing. Those words alone have an anointing to break-off heavy burdens. There are times when you need help. Get into the habit of opening the Bible and reading. We often speak directly into the hearts of people through the scriptures. The Bible is extremely powerful. Open the Bible, and hear what We have to say to you personally.


Philippians 4:4-8
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
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.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Don't Give Up

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. Don't give up! The early church believers in Smyrna were suffering great persecution. They were faced with many trials. Listen to the words written to those believers. The Bible says, "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Revelation 2:10.)

These words don't necessarily sound very encouraging. They were told not to fear what they were about to suffer. They were told the devil was about to throw some of them into prison. They were informed they were going to be tested and have tribulation. However, they were also told to be faithful to the end. If they didn't give up, but remained faithful, they would be given the crown of life.

Sometimes you might go through hard times. Sometimes, you might be in uncomfortable positions. I release strength into you right now to endure. James tells you, "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience." (James 1:2-3.) Keep drawing near to Us, despite any circumstance you might be facing.


Revelation 2:10
10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

James 1:2-3
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,  3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

June 2013 :: Update from the Mission Field

By: Dawn R. Pietsch
 
As missionaries to the United States, Nathan and I are used to transition. We have grown accustomed to change, and flowing with the Holy Spirit. We recently left southern Oregon for northern California. We have the wonderful privilege to oversee a healing house for a couple of months.

As we have traveled the United States the last four years, we have seen the results of the past moves of God, the works of the forerunners, praying grandmothers, and prophetic words. We are living in the time when we can walk in more power and authority in Christ Jesus, because of the people who have helped pave a way for us.

The power of 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. (Hebrews 4:12.)

What used to take years of hard work is only taking months or weeks. I believe the youth are going to be walking in even greater signs and wonders. I believe they will have a double portion, like Elisha did. A reason why Elisha had a double portion was because of the strong foundation Elijah laid for him. It’s amazing to see the youth walking out their destinies with purpose and conviction. They are the "Burning Ones" for God. They can change the world and impact the Kingdom of God by the way they live their lives!

When they find the truth, they capture the Heavenly Father’s heart. Jesus is the way the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6.)

In Malachi 4:6, the Bible also says, He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.

We are actually seeing this take place. Our children are coming boldly to the throne of grace, that they may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16.)

What’s also great is that we can all be "Burning Ones" for Jesus, no matter what age we are. If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, you have the Holy Spirit living within you. You too have captured the Father’s heart.

We can advance the Kingdom of God by bringing in His lost children. He is a family God, a relationship God, a personal God, a loving God that wants all His kids to live in eternity with Him. Jesus bridges that gap, and brings us all back to our Heavenly Dad. So why not say, "Yes" to that upward calling, and live life seated in the heavenly realm, positioned in Christ at the right hand of God! (Ephesians 2:6.) All believers are actually living in two places at once. We need to look at the things of this world with a heavenly perspective, and live from that realm. It’s an exciting journey living for God, but then, that’s the way it’s suppose to be!

Gifts and Promotions

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. During My earthly ministry I said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" (Matthew 7:11.) The Heavenly Father is desiring to release gifts and promotions to His people. It is time for advancement. However, let advancement be orchestrated by Us, and not yourself.

Solomon wrote, "A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men." (Proverbs 18:16.) We want to promote you, but We want you to let Us do the promoting. The gifts We have imparted into you, will make a place for you. You do not need to fret, finagle, or fake yourself into a promotion. We will do it for you. All you need to do is seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33.)

Moses was called to lead Israel out of Egypt. However, he prematurely tried to exalt himself. He killed a man in the process. Moses supposed his brethren would have understood God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not. (Acts 7:23-28.) Gifts and promotions are coming to you, but keep your eyes focused on Us.


Matthew 7:11
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Proverbs 18:16
16 A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.
Matthew 6:33
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Acts 7:23-28
23 “Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.  24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian.  25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand.  26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’  27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?  28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
