Released February 22, 2011 Insight Before the Prophetic Word In October 2010, Father began speaking to me about “pens like razor blades” in the hands of His prophetic scribes. More than ever, Ezekiel 9 and the call for the Commanders of the City kept coming to the forefront as it has for over three years…

INSIGHT BEFORE THE WORD
I am writing this in response to the nation’s outrage over the announcement from the Obama Administration on yesterday. As you read this, please know that this article is addressed to the Christian – the true believer. In truth, an intelligent/intellectual man would miss God in what is written here and turn this message into nothing more than one man’s opinion. I do pray that you are open to hear and to read this message through til the end.

What are your gifts making room for?

I have always had a problem with the interpretation of this scripture by some believers I’ve met over the years:
Proverbs 18:16 NKJV, “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.”
As an Apostle in the Worship Arts, I meet people daily who worship their gifts and sabotage their own purpose and destiny. In context with how this scripture is often used and taught, men are pressed into places of worshiping their “gifts” instead of focusing on the one who released the gifts to them. It brings forth a wrong spirit, one of entitlement. One in which people believe that they are entitled to something simply because they “have or they work” a gift well.
Father said this to me this morning: “I am not shallow that I would base the merit of my Word on the operation of a gift alone. All gifts, beloved, are only attributes of the whole man.” People of God, take a moment this morning to ask yourself this question: “What does Proverbs 18:16 mean to you?”
Word of the Lord: The Secret Wisdom of God
(This prophetic word in NO WAY takes away from the wisdom Father has previously released to his people. What is highlighted here is simply revelation concerning an awakening of fresh revelation…. in which there is movement and progression from one place to another. I really believe Father is pushing us to go deeper in His Word in this hour… releasing even uncommon wisdom to help us navigate strategically in the realm of the spirit in a greater way.)

Word of the Lord: “Beloved, tell my remnant that I am calling them NOW out of places of obscurity where oppression has attempted to keep them down. The bondages, the weights… the trails of the wine press have been lifted for a season as I have pruned and broken them. Tell them, I am calling them out of the caves where some were overcome by fear, weakness; overlooked by those who have known them; passed over when I indeed raised them up and ridiculed in my presence.
