Coming Out Into the Deep to be Repositioned

Isa 4:5

5. Then God will bring back the ancient pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night and mark Mount Zion and everyone in it with his glorious presence, his immense, protective presence,

THE MESSAGE

I saw in a vision the glory cloud coming back into the church sanctuary for three months in a row. The first month, I saw hundreds of lights in the clouds of the church. The second month I saw the lights moving around and I heard, “We are the light of this world.” The third month I saw the lights repositioning themselves into straight rows and I saw them coming into a particular order. I heard the Lord say: “My Father is bringing the church into position, into His order so that we can begin to see the full manifestation of His glory.”

Rev 1:6

6. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. NLT

I heard Him say: “My King of this Kingdom,” I would have you to take off robes that have been collecting the defilement of this world of unbelief and victimization. This old cloak that you are wearing carries the defilement of this world, those things that have come upon you have come against you. But I The Lord say, take that robe off, just as the beggar and the blind man of old did, and lay it down, and receive fresh new clothing for this is kingdom time.

 Now dress yourself in righteousness, peace, joy and My faith. For the repositioning journey begins now, the journey that I have determined to bring you forth into the depths of a blessed place. And the blessings will bring you into the promise and fullness of your inheritance. Children of God, My saints, lay down the old ways of doing things, and pick-up the newness of Me, and journey with Me into the glory of My Kingdom; says the Lord Most High. After hearing this and seeing it He gave me this understanding.

When Christ saved us and brought us into His Kingdom, He made us ambassadors so that we could go out and bring others into the Kingdom to be repositioned. God has given us the power to change our lives, because we are saints. This means that we are equipped and empowered to live in victory and exercise our dominion authority-Kingdom authority, and the Lord wants us to use it now. The choice is ours, it is a matter of grooming our Kingdom mentally and learning to think – talk – and act like saints, who are royalty rather than like the galley slaves the devil has told us we are.

Get Back in Position

Get Back in Position

While spending time in prayer I heard the Spirit of the Lord say to me, tell My people, they have become apathetic in what I have given them to do. They have lost their enthusiasm and interest, in the things of God, and their focus has shifted from Me.

Apathetic – showing no feeling – interest – enthusiasm –concern – slack – lukewarm – lackadaisical

People of God, it would be good for you to change and adjust your attitude so you can see through the eyes of the Spirit. What you see is not mundane but an opportunity to exhibit excellence so My Kingdom ways will be developed in every way “says the Lord.”

The Father is asking, “Where are you?” Are you in My presence? Are you living in this hour of the Feast? He’s saying it is time for you to get in your position. It’s time to move forward in the power of His glorious fire. It’s time for you to become a beacon of light in this season. Let the fire of a consuming God prepare your heart for His coming into your church (your heart). Keep watching for the signs of His coming.

In these times your natural eyes will deceive you because things are not always as they seem. Things are not always as you see them in this world. But look through the eyes of faith, and you will begin to overcome those things that are set against you by the power of your faith. Your faith will sustain you in these times, your faith will keep you, for I the Lord have set up provisions for you in these times so be diligent to do what I have called you to do. Know this, My people, the enemy will come to bring insecurity unto you and cause you to become self-focused. He will undermine your confidence and the boldness of faith you have believed in.

Don’t look at whether you succeed or fail because the responsibility for success or failure is not yours to see but mine. “Say’s the Lord.” The Spirit of God is saying we must walk in faith and not by sight. You must cultivate your faith sight to live in victory; your faith sight will make all the difference in your life. Regardless of how it looks; see it through the eyes of the Lord.

Apostle James E. Morrow

Represent / Re-pre-sent

Represent / Re-pre-sent

John 12:30-32

30. Then Jesus told them, "The voice was for your benefit, not mine.

31. The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.

32. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself." NLT

John 12:35

35. Jesus replied, "My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. NLT

I am so excited to share with you what God has shown me in His Word! Do you know you have a right to believe for your life? In other words, a double portion word symbolic of something taking place twice as fast. Let this Word of God be established in your heart and mind, and then boldly begin to make this confession: “I will present Christ in this 2024 year.”  Your response to this word is evident that you are ready to take your faith and your love to the next level in Christ. It’s a thrill to know that you are holding fast to all your expectation about the Word of God.

Heb 10:23

23. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. NKJV

1 John 5:14-15

14. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.  NKJV

It’s time for things to change for you. This Word of the Lord came to me saying; “I Am releasing My Spirit upon your circumstances; that will reveal more of your heart and present a new beginning that will manifest and develop in your life. Pay attention to the Word of God, it’s showing you how to yield, as well as to guide and direct your steps. It’s time to pre-sent Jesus to others. If you submit to the Word, He will take you where you cannot imagine. Trust Christ and willingly let go of the past. So you may let go of the fear that has held you in a state of motionless bondage. Tell yourself: I’m going to let Christ Jesus be seen in me.”

You didn’t just become like you are. We must break the assignment of the evil one over our lives, the generational curses of fear and motionless bondage that will not allow us to pre-sent Christ Jesus. Generational curses are a real problem in times of change. Instead of presenting curses Your Father has given you Christ Jesus instead. You must identify common things that are happening to you and controlling you repeatedly and the similar things that keep happening to others around you and in your families.

This generational curse is a serious matter and it keeps showing up generation after generation as to say this is who we are. No more of this! This is the reason for Christ coming to trouble your generational curses; it is not a coincidence that it’s in this season for there has to be a change in your life.

Ex 20:5

5. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. NLT

When you and your family are freed in this season, it will bring blessings, which will put you in a most favored position with God. From this position pre-sent Christ in all things and it will amaze you time and time again!

Isa 53:5

5. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. NKJV

Rom 8:16

16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, NKJV

Re-pre-sent Jesus Christ the witness of His Spirit is the small impressions and intrusive thoughts that come to your mind. When the Spirit of God directs you this way, you will have a sense of peace and a course of blessings will follow. This course of action will never violate what is written in the Word of God.

2 Cor 2:10-11

10. Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11. lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. NKJV

Now people of God you should be ready to free yourself and your family from the attacks of the enemy that is causing you spiritual problems. Now is the time to GET READY – RECONSTRUCT and RE-PRE-SENT Christ Jesus in all your ways in this 2024 season. At this time in your life you need God’s strength and wisdom for you and your family breakthrough from the enemy of generational curses.

Eph 3:20

20. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. NLT

We must take authority by the written Word of God by faith. This is how we re-pre-sent Him.

Apostle James E. Morrow Sr.

It’s Time To Encourage Yourself

It’s Time to Encourage Yourself

2 Cor 10:5-6

5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; KJV

God created us as social creatures, and we need to be connected to other people. We need healthy relationships with ourselves, as much as we need food and water, so friendship isn’t just a luxury afforded only to the fortunate few. It’s an integral part of the human experience. We make connections in three concentric circles. The target outer circle would be labeled Perception – perception happens at the first point of engagement. People don’t have to know us to form a perception of us. Often, some of the people we meet will categorize us based on what they’ve heard about us or their first impression of us, and there’s not much we can do to change that initial perception. Our reputation often speaks to it, and people interpret that in whatever way they choose.

But people’s impression of us then leads to the middle circle, Image – that’s the circle we create along with people’s perception of us. If we think people expect us to be incredible, extraordinary, super-hero’s – like people with perfect families and money and no problems, then we create that character to validate the image. Now we often live under the enormous pressure of keeping up that image based on who we think people think we are. That’s why we need to see social media as a double-edged sword. We live in an image-conscience world, and the social media space is perfect for displaying images – real or manipulated.

As a people we can spend an inordinate amount of time posting “perfect” pictures on social media, but those pictures don’t contain the substance of who we really are. This is why the Apostle Paul speaks of casting down imaginations, when our carefully curated images are shattered, people will see that behind the scenes of social media posts and all the photos there are regular people who are experiencing brokenness, pain and struggles. But when those images are removed, who are you? This brings us to the smallest and most intimate circle of the three; Integrity – integrity, or the lack thereof, is who we are when no one else is looking. People who engage us on perception or image alone can’t truly know us, and those relationships you made won’t last long or at best, will be fairly superficial.

But for those people who make it into that small circle, they will see who you really are. Those are the people that will comfort you in your loneliest hours and will be there for your future. We sometimes neglect our own needs. The idea of selflessness is a commendable attribute, however, it is ill-advised when it is at the expense of self-care and contributes to the loss of your own well-being. We are not the faint of heart.

Matt 22:14

14. For many are called, but few are chosen. KJV   

Loneliness is written for the chosen few who are willing to be transparent in an effort to shed light on the reality of people and eradicate misconceptions about you. We all have struggles at some point in our lives we get exhausted and become frustrated.

1 Sam 30:6

6. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. KJV

Jude 20

20. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, KJV

But this is what makes us effective; our ability to have empathy allows us to have compassion rather than condemnation and that helps us to steward others through the highs and lows of their life. Though we are not immune to the same challenges of others, being in sync with God’s will and plans for your life will give you insight and discernment so you can choose wisely those persons who will be closest to your heart. Like-minded people are those who understand us and have the capacity to strengthen us and help provide us with safe spaces in which we can be transparent, open and free especially when we want a sense of normalcy and need a break from the daily grind of life. These people allow us to relax and be our authentic selves. Once you surrender your super hero cape, you will be able to prioritize some things in your life.

You must learn to build yourself up. There are times when it’s difficult to rally others around you to nudge you, encourage you to keep going and cheer you on. But don’t despair those are the times when you will have to dig deep within yourself for your own encouragement. You are not the only person who finds yourself alone and in need of encouragement. Every person will someday come to this place, but if you can encourage yourself in the Lord you can move forward with your life. It’s difficult at times to show your humanity and ask for help because we think it will reveal our weakness or show who we are. But if we create a culture of compassion around us it will provide us a safe space to ask for what we need. You may be surprised by how more accessible you can be to those you show your humanity to instead of pretending to be this super human. If there is anything that adversity teaches you is that you are not a super hero, but indeed a human. Adversity levels the playing field and leaves you with fewer places to hide, but most importantly, it proves your needs to be true to yourself and others. True transformation is not about being perfect nor is it about pretending to be something you are not; it is about putting the effort towards being our best selves and bringing that effort forward every day. It’s time to embrace God’s grace for your life, Paul wrote of this thorn in his flesh, some unnamed hindrance he had, but he believed he would be better off if the Lord removed it, but the Lord said, in II Corinthians 12:9 that He gives you the grace and the capacity to deal with your own pressures. If you trust Him, if you’re honest and transparent about your weaknesses, you’ll discover His strength gives you the grace for your life to deal with anything.

Apostle James E. Morrow
