Staying Focused In Times Like These

This letter is critical to keeping your life and ministry on track. I’m writing this so you can target your faith for greater productivity! 

Recently, I was talking to one of my spiritual children, I knew how important this talk was to them and how critical this conversation was to their faith, life, and ministry. I knew by the Holy Spirit that God had orchestrated this time and it was a defining moment. They looked at me and said affectionately: “Bishop I thank you for pastoring us, but we need you to pastor us right now.” The Holy Spirit began to give me His wisdom on their situations, and as I shared with them the wisdom, by the Holy Spirit, I could sense a release on each of them. There was a change in their countenance which reflected in their conversation; we ended the talk on a positive, faith note and closed in prayer. 

As a pastor, it is a part of my assignment, and I understand that God has given me the wisdom to help all who will desire it. I prayed about the ministry in this season, I sensed a direction from The Lord to exhort you to stay focused on what you hear. I believe God is bringing back to our remembrance the power of what you choose to focus on which is the key to increase in these challenging times.

People of God have this ever happened to you? Have you ever been intensively looking for something and discovered that it was right under your noses and you didn’t see it? If it had been a snake, it would have bitten you. From situations like this, the Holy Spirit began to talk to me about the power of our focus. 

When you really focus on something, it seems that all other things are blocked out! If you will learn to control your focus even in the most challenging times, it will be a boost to your faith and the results you get will be amazing! Many people have asked me what I thought was the most important factor in having success, in challenging times and not become fearful, I quickly responded:

You must stay spiritually focused otherwise your flesh and logical thinking will get the best of you. 

When your focus is compromised you will forfeit the supernatural favor and promises of God. What separates us from the world system is confidence in the commitment we have in The Lord Jesus. As people of God, we have a dependence on spiritual laws that sets us free from being bound by the world’s system. 

What the economic world is going through is a reality that cannot be denied, but we don’t have to let the things of this world consume our minds if we do, it will diffuse our faith and lower our expectations of what is possible for your life and ministries. Isaiah 26:3 

Harnessing our focus is the theme behind just about every supernatural move of God that takes place in the bible, whether it was with the prophets, the life of Jesus, or the apostles. Whatever you focus on consumes your attention and becomes magnified in your sight. Your entire perception is affected by what you focus on. In this economic time, I talked to pastors about the financial challenges their ministries and life are facing. I could tell those pastors’ focus was on the few members who had left their church and not on the faithful who remained at the church. These pastors and members had lost their focus and could not properly plan nor could they recognize the source of favor that God had planned for their present situation. 

If there is one message that the Holy Spirit wants me to get across to you, it is that during these times

You Must Control Your Focus,

and use every situation in your life to cause you to look and see the cross Jesus our Lord died on. 

In II Kings 6, Elisha ministered to his staff members. When surrounded by the enemy you must pray that God opens the spiritual eyes of your understanding, with a renewed focus for your life and ministry. You will see your life is now positioned for God to demonstrate through you. His power will not only sustain you but will expand your life and ministry, but your focus will change during these times. Distress should drive you to refocus, adjust, and place your focus squarely on God. 

With God’s ability and His unlimited resources, we will continue as usual, and in a greater way; trusting that when we need favor, God will manifest it during these times. Now is the time we must double our intake of the Word of God, to counter the negatives that we are being exposed to each day by non-people of God.

We must spend more time listening and meditating in the Word of God; you must be more intense about doing the Word of God with your actions. 

The Word of God is casting a positive vision of life to your family. Remember, people jump off sinking ships, but you don’t have to go down with the ship. Just forsake what you are seeing now and refocus. Let me encourage you that above all during these times, remain faithful to God, and let the Holy Spirit teach you to refocus and look again.

You must choose to increase your vision and your focus by praying, planting seeds, proclaiming the Word of God, and giving Him praises for His mighty act in your life. Now is your time to look again, focus, and believe God for a swift turnaround for your ministry. 

In closing, like most churches, we have experienced some challenges with all these things happening around us but through it all, we are making it, and have made some bold decisions to look again. No more church as it was, we made a decision to boost our faith to get better results this time and stay on course with God’s Word. To walk by faith is not taking a risk, but trusting God who is not a man that He shall lie. Hebrews 11:6 / Colossians 3:15-17 

Apostle James E. Morrow

 Time To Renew Your Faith 

Have things in these last few months and days caused you to cut back on your desires and expectations? Do not allow your circumstances to cause you to scale back on your desires in this season. I know you want more but it’s impossible because of how things are with your money. 

I know what it’s like to cut back on what you want because you don’t want to be disappointed. I found myself in a rut years ago. But one day I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me, and while He was talking, He challenged me not to stop dreaming, but to dream bigger and make bigger faith demands of Him. People of God this is not the time to scale back on believing God, because He is still as big as we want Him to be now as He was before. This is a time for you to jump-start your faith and dream again this year. There is such a strong witness from The Lord to stir our faith at this time. 

When we look in the bible Jesus asked the lame man at the pool a few simple questions before healing him in John 5:4-9 KJV 

Now let me ask you some questions saints; (1.) Do you want better for your life? (2.) Over time have you scaled back on what you asked God for? (3.) Have you decided to just put up with things the way they are?

I believe The Lord put on my heart to ask you these questions after waiting so long for some things to happen, and now here comes this pandemic which has devastated your faith fight. This is not a time to lose your passion and desire to stop believing for bigger and better for your life. As a pastor,  I remember when scaling back was all I could think about and would say, God, I know “BUT” and the Holy Spirit had to immediately minister to me His Word and challenge me to keep stretching my faith. Ephesians 3:20 AMP 

So People of God, say this with me: “It’s time to believe even bigger and better blessings for my life!” Saints,  you can’t bankrupt God or ask for something bigger than He is able to deliver. Stop feeling guilty of cutting back on what God said you can have and what He (God) can do for you. This is a good season to renew your faith in the Word of God. The Lord spoke to me and showed me this powerful scripture in Isaiah 45:11 KJV, increase comes when it is desired and demanded. 

When I saw this I said, “I am one of His children!” He was asking His children to command Him into action: He let me know that He waits for our request or intercession to come before Him so He can go to work on our behalf, God is looking for us! Ezekiel 22:30 KJV 

Here are some scripture readings to help you during this pandemic: 

Scriptures for Protection – Psalms 34:7 / Psalms 121:7 / Proverbs 18:10 / Psalms 91:11-12 

Scriptures for Peace – Proverbs 16:7 / Isaiah 26:3 / John 14:27 / Philippians 4:6-7 

Scriptures for Healing – Exodus 15:26 / Exodus 23:25 / Isaiah 53:4-5 / Jeremiah 30:17 

Scriptures for Finances – Philippians 4:19 / Proverbs 10:22 / II Corinthians 9:8 / John 16:23-24 / John 15:16 

Apostle James E. Morrow

Encouragement For Such A Time As This: “God Has A Plan For You”

People of God, so many times in the bible and now in our life, someone thought they had the last word and spoke doom and failure, then God came through for you and proved the negative things all wrong. People of God this is what has happened to you; but God wants me to remind you, that

He is bigger than any negative situation you are facing.

There is no situation, no disease or principality that can stand at the Name of Jesus! The bible declares that God is the Most High God, which means that He alone has the last Word in every situation in your life! Ps 50:14-15 14. Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High. 15. Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory." NLT Phil 2:10-11 10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11. and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. NLT

God wants you to understand that every negative situation is just an opportunity for you to invite Him into your situation so that He can demonstrate His love and His power, and have the last word as He did for so many others in the bible. 2 Cor 10:3-5 3. We are human, but we don't wage war as humans do. 4. We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. NLT The Lord is saying: “It’s time to rise up on wings of eagles and soar upon the wind of My Spirit and view things from high and lofty places that are above the earth, come before Me now and be renewed in strength, and the beauty of holiness, come and be healed from fear and be refreshed in mind, body and soul say’s The Lord!”

People of God, be encouraged for I tell you surely the words that I have spoken, are for you individually and corporately. “Now is the time to become a partaker of the fruit of peace that is being given unto you, come forth and receive that which I am doing, the wait is over; says The Lord.”

People of God allow each day, to be the day to let the Living Word flow into you and the wind of the spirit move you into the fullness of My purpose. So once again, “I say come in My presence by faith with the words I have spoken and be healed, refreshed and renewed; look forward to finding Me as the solution to your problems. I say come and I shall do a work in you, and the work I have spoken of is for now.” 2 Peter 1:3-4 3.

Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! 4. We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you — your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.

The Power of Worship

Dear People of God,

While in prayer today, the Spirit of God laid this Word on my heart and I know it will give you direction in this season. I’m writing to you today as I always do after spending time in prayer and meditation. The Spirit of God impressed upon me to write this on time Word for the coming season in our life. I know I would not be in ministry today had the Men of God in my life not obeyed God to give me the Word of God at the right time.

When I was standing at a crossroad in my life and ministry, it was an on time Word from the Lord that stirred my faith just when I needed it the most.

This is a time in our life that an important decision has to be made and I feel that’s where you are also. 2 Cor 3:17 People of God you can worship your way to freedom today. I believe God has something special in store for you, there is a new realm He wants to take us to. A new realm of success, a new realm of victory and a new realm of freedom! You see freedom is more than something we celebrate as black people, it’s more than a Juneteenth celebration.

God Wants To Elevate Us To A Whole New Level Of Freedom

Worship (freedom) is the very life we were meant to live every day! God wants to elevate us to a whole new level of freedom. Freedom in healing, freedom in deliverance, freedom in prosperity, freedom in wisdom, freedom in direction, and freedom for breakthrough in money matters and unspeakable joy. All of this is available to us today we simply need to know how to receive them. Look at the words of Apostle Paul: 1 Cor 2:9-10 Now, let me encourage you to make this Word personal, because I know you love the Lord, so where the Apostle uses the words “those who love Him” write your own name and read it over and over again. “What no eyes has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived-the things God has prepared for me and my house. Wow! What a powerful promise – your Heavenly Father has already (past-tense) prepared His blessings for your life, our life. I must say to you, keep believing and keep standing because it’s your faith that will see you through; resist fear in every situation for your Heavenly Father has already prepared a blessing for you.

Gal 6:7-9 People of God you cannot let uncomfortable situations chase off your worship. Many believers are not walking in the fulfillment of that promise, too many Jesus-looking, church-going, bible believing men and women of God are living in bondage; and they go to our churches. This doesn’t have to be us; God has something better in store for us. The Lord showed me and now I must show you an important key to receiving God’s provision.

In order for us to receive everything God has prepared, we must learn how to live in the Spirit; for it is The Spirit that God is moving in. The Lord said to me: “If you build yourself up in the Spirit, I God will open the windows of heaven over your ministry and life”. All blessings begin in the spirit realm, that’s why Paul followed the promise: I Corinthians 2:10 Verse 10 states: these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit.

Living in the Spirit is the key to freedom; it’s the season of worship.

John 4:23-24 This is different from what we’re used to. We are used to living in the natural realm- operating by sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. But God always releases things in the spiritual realm before we ever see them in the flesh. It’s time to strengthen your spirit man because walking in the Spirit is essential for living in freedom (the realm of worship). When you build up your spirit man you’ll experience the freedom to walk in health; freedom to overcome addictions, freedom to dream new dreams, freedom to prosper in every area financially, freedom to overcome every obstacle and freedom to fulfill your God given destiny. These are just a few of God’s promises that are waiting for us in this new season of worship.

People often ask how I live in the spirit. How do I build up my spirit man? There are many ways, but one of the simplest is through worship, you see the intimacy of worship will strengthen your inner man and connect you with God like never before. Church there is a beautiful and powerful thing about to happen to us, it is a powerful exercise that escorts us from the outer courts into the Holy of Holies. (Worship) This is why David was so blessed by God; he was a worshipper. David understood that there was a deep spiritual connection that happens when you learn how to approach the throne of God with a heart of worship. Look what happened when God saw that David was a worshipper: Acts 13:22-23 People of God, just as God poured out His blessings on David’s life; He’s willing to pour out on us in this new season. This is good news for us today because just as God elevated David, He wants to elevate us.

Our Heavenly Father wants to speak and share His secrets with us.

In this worship season He is sending provisions for every physical, spiritual, and emotional need. He wants to set us free from fleshly worship. Brothers and sisters God has given us everything we need to prosper in life; it’s time to begin to strengthen our spirit man. John 16:12-15 Jesus wants us to experience freedom from any and every snare that would come against us. He desires for us to live freely in the promises found in His Word.

I want to help us build up our spirit in worship, so it will make a shift in your life for this upcoming season. We will empower our spirit with worship and The Word. We are preparing to experience new levels of worship, freedom, and success in ministry. In closing, try to imagine how you would feel if you woke up tomorrow in worship. I know I would celebrate, dance, and jump for joy! I would worship the One who set me free for today. My sons and daughters receive this Word by faith. Living in Worship!

Praying In the Word of God A Prayer of Praise for New Identity and Inheritance in Christ (Intercessory Prayer)

Thank you for making your light shine in our hearts to give us the knowledge of Christ who is the Glory of God! And thank you for making us the light in Him! 2 Cor 4:6 6. For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. NLT Eph 5:8 8. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! NLT How we thank you for rescuing us from the dominion of darkness and bringing us into the Kingdom of Your dear Son who is the light!

Thank you that He is the inheritance of all the saints, of everyone who believes. Col 1:12-13 12. always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. 13. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, NLT We thank you for giving Your Son and for enabling us to believe in Him and have eternal life. How can we ever thank you for the gift and for the faith to receive Him? May our lives reflect our adoration and praise for Your wonderful grace.

John 3:16 16. "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. NLT

Thank you for giving us a new righteousness through our faith in Jesus Christ. Enabling all who believe in Him to experience that they are right with You, Your grace through Christ has done it all because of Your Son.

Rom 3:21-24 21. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

23. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.

24. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. NLT Thank you for justifying us, by enabling us to trust in you. Show us all, who call ourselves believers, that you justified us even before we had done wicked things! We were wicked because we were born of Adam and participated in his sin and in his nature to sin. Remind us too, that we were not saved by our works. Rom 4:5 5. But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. NLT

Thank you for our father Abraham who did not waver in unbelief, but trusted you to do what you have promised. Thank you for putting to our credit the same righteousness of faith that we believe Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead to make us right before You; He is our justification Christ our Justifier. Rom 4:18-25 18. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, "That's how many descendants you will have!" 19. And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah's womb. 20. Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22. And because of Abraham's faith, God counted him as righteous. 23. And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn't just for Abraham's benefit.

It was recorded 24. for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

25. He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God. NLT Thank you we have been justified through faith, thank you we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank you for leaving us with peace and given us your peace. Thank you for giving us Your power to not be troubled. Rom 5:1 1. Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

NLT John 14:27 27. "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. NLT

Thank you Lord for the love that You poured in our hearts which reassures us that we have right standing before You, and thank you for giving us the Holy Spirit, who is God in us, revealing this love to us! Rom 5:5 5. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. NLT Heavenly Father what would we have done, we who were powerless and ungodly, if you had not given Your Son to die for us? What incredible love! Open our eyes to understand Your grace, to marvel at Your love. Rom 5:6-8 6.

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. NLT We praise You Heavenly Father that we are saved because of Your Word! Thank you for putting our sins on Your Son so that we would be saved from your wrath! And thank you for bringing us nearer to you through the Blood of Jesus. Rom 5:9 9. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation. NLT Eph 2:13 13.

But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. NLT Thank you Lord for making us a new creation! Help us to accept this as a fact by faith, so that we will experience the truth of it in our daily lives. Enable us to live as a new person, and this glorious fact of newness of nature be revealed and appropriated by many in the House of God. 2 Cor 5:17 17.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! NLT

Thank you Lord that the Holy Spirit enables us to pray when we do not know what to say, and He, being God, knows your will and intercedes according to your good pleasure. Thank you, for giving us the blessed Holy Spirit to be in us, the Spirit who is The Lord. Rom 8:26-27 26. And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning’s that cannot be expressed in words. 27. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. NLT

Thank you that everything in our lives will be worked out for good according to your purpose, because you called us by Your love, May we all trust Your love! You will never do anything in our lives except what glorifies you and is good, eternally good for us. Rom 8:28 28. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. NLT

Dear Father you make us stand firm! We count on You to do it. You have anointed us and sealed us, you have given us Your Spirit as a deposit, and guaranteed what is to come therefore, we cannot fail! 1 Cor 1:21-22 21. Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe. 22. It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven. And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom. NLT

Thank you Father for making us more than conquerors through Christ who loves us, remind us to look to what is true, our promises, and not to circumstances. Father only Your Word gives us the good of truth to make a correct assessment as to whether something is good or bad. By faith, we believe you and praise you for making us more than conquerors! Rom 8:37 37. No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. NLT

Lord how we thank you that we are Your children, by Your will, not of human decision, but born of God! Reveal yourself to us as our Father, and enable us to please You because we are like You. May we grow up in faith and obedience like our brother Jesus! May it be said of us, like Father, like son’s and daughter’s, and may this family resemblance be seen in many as our children as possible in Christ Jesus Amen! John 1:12-13 12. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. NLT

To the Angel – Messenger of the Church

My saints, exceptional people, I want you to begin to speak by the spirit to those who are spiritually dead or dormant. Call them forth into the light of life and truth. Prophesy to their dead bones and to their breath so that they will rise up and live. “Do this by faith, and My Word will not return to Me void, says The Lord.” The windows of heaven are opening, and this is a critical time for many to come into the kingdom. My saints, your only part is to simply be obedient to the leading of My Spirit. This is true, I Am indeed bringing you higher, I Am lifting you up to places where you have never been before. I Am bringing you forth in this new season of the kingdom that I Myself (The Lord) have assigned to you, for I Am the Lord that brings the revelation of that which I Am doing. I bring this understanding to you that you may ready yourselves and be a part of this activity, which will give glory to the Father and will greatly increase your knowledge of the working and the function of the Kingdom of God.

Everybody will not have this assignment, only My saints

So you My saints, get ready to learn and make the Holy Spirit your teacher and align your spirit with Him so that He may teach you. For you have an unction from the Spirit to be led, guided, and taught by the Holy One. My saints, embrace the work and be renewed in Spirit. “Embrace this work that I Am doing right now for I Am preparing you to walk in the glory which I Am releasing at this time in the Kingdom, My saints walk with Me, talk with Me, and be one with Me, says The Lord Jesus Christ.” “I Am calling My warriors forth to be strong and to rise up and do battle.” Many of you were once valiant but you have not engaged in war for a long time. This is because you didn’t understand that you cannot fight without your full armor, and now the enemy has retaliated. So I Am rallying My troops, put on your armor, and I will send you forth in righteousness, says The Lord.”

As this prophetic word was coming forth, suddenly a vision and a presence were felt beside me saying, “Turn and look.” I saw what I believe was a warring angel looking at the church, that appeared to be 9 or 10 feet tall. “He said look,” then I saw a total of twelve angels standing at attention with the church approximately 10 feet apart, and The Lord spoke to me that they had been sent to help us in battle and His word says: It’s time for the desert warriors to go through the battle! It’s time for the white horse warriors to arise!

It’s time for the mighty saints of this season to come forth in the power of the Most High

“It’s time to run to the battle and defeat the enemy at the gate, says the Lord!” No longer establish yourself in a position of defeat, but dream and see your victory. Run the race until it’s fulfilled. Receive the armor that I will give you in this season. Rise up until you become the Lions of the Spirit of the Most High and understand who you are in Christ Jesus. You are more than a conquer, and I will cause My saints to always triumph in the war that you are involved in, choose to take the trail of victory, see the trail of victory and walk in your victory.

I have provided for you, so do not stop on your way to victory. “Do not allow the enemy to deter you with another voice or condemnation which will affect you, rather receive the enlightenment of that which I have spoken to you in this kingdom season, says The Lord.”

This Is a New Season for Your Faith Moment

This is the season that you must keep growing in faith (The Word of God). Please hear this with your heart because it will be the strength of your days to come. Your faith will make the difference in your next faith fight. Feed your faith with the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God.

Listening to powerful teachings on faith is critical to your future breakthroughs in weeks to come. There are uncertainties in life but keep sowing in faith. In order to have breakthrough power you must be consistent in tithing and in seed faith giving. Don’t let anyone talk you out of giving in faith. Expect your seed to make a difference and rebound favor back into your life.

What you see is what you will become; keep seeing with your faith eyes. There are two ways to look at things: 1. with the natural eyes or 2. with spiritual eyes where I can call things to be even if it’s not. Satan works overtime to cause you to look at life and life situations through the natural eyes of fear, but now the gospel is in your ears again and God has you looking at your new future with the eyes of faith. See yourself on the canvas of your imagination, impressions of the promises of God. In this new season see yourself being restored with the careers of your dreams. Joshua got the victory when he looked up and saw himself victorious through the eyes of his faith.

2 Cor 4:15-18

15. All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.

16. That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 

17. For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 

18. So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. NLT

It’s 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, but they do exist in God’s spiritual realm, and these are the things that are true. I God will give you spiritual insight beyond the things of this world so that you no longer look through your natural eyes, but through the eyes of faith. It’s time to overcome those things that are set against you by the power of your faith, your faith will sustain you in these times, it will keep you and you will be the avenue by which you receive your provision, in this season, say’s “The Most High God.” My people,be diligent to do what I have called you to do. Know this, the enemy will come to bring insecurity and cause you to get self – focused, through lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes.

Gen 3:4-6

4. "You won't die!" the serpent replied to the woman. 

5. "God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil."

6. The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. NLT

The enemy will undermine your confidence and boldness in what The Lord has set before you. People of God do not look at yourself or consider whether you have succeeded or failed. The responsibility for success or failure is not yours but mine say's The Lord. It’s not for you to calculate the impact of your faith efforts, but only give Me your will and allow Me to direct your every step in this season say’s The Lord!

Faith is getting you ready for your moment:

1 Kings 19:19

19. So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. NLT

A moment is an indefinite short period of time – an instant – the present time now – a particular time of great decision – a definite period of time in one’s life – a time of importance.

People of God look at this moment, it happened so fast in Elisha’s life he couldn’t think for a moment. Elijah found him in the field plowing, look at this; God sees you where you are and His favor can come where you are now in your life.

The word from The Lord has been spoken, and it is time for the people of faith, to take new territory. This is a Pentecost season and moment in your life, a time of suddenly. 

When this word was stirred in my heart it was electrifying and amazing I heard The Lord say: “Declare it to the people of faith and the time is now!!”

Ps 30:4-6

4. Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name.

5. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

6. When I was prosperous, I said, "Nothing can stop me now!" NLT

1 Cor 16:13

13. Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. NLT

You must have the boldness to attempt to do what you have not done before, to get what you do not have!

Now Is the Time to Refocus Your Ears and Eyes

Can you hear the sound of the trumpet blast? This is the predominate sound in the realm of the Spirit to call those who have an ear to hear. This sound will resonate in your heart and draw you nearer to God, so you can receive instructions and direction for the next significant phase of your life. Quiet your soul, and refocus your eyes and listen with a sense of purpose and intention, ready to move forward with resolve and determination and allow God to lead you.

Ps 47:5

5. God has ascended with a mighty shout. The Lord has ascended with trumpets blaring. NLT

The Lord is saying to His people: “I have given Myself for you and put Myself in you, therefore be that which is spoken in My Word.” It’s time for you to praise and worship the Almighty God. You must fight the good fight against the enemy when he comes in like a flood, and God will raise up a standard and His Word will be the sword that will defeat the enemy.

God has given you power and nothing by any means shall hurt you. Walk with an openness before God and He will cause your thoughts to be His thoughts and your ways will be His ways.

We are in a time of advancement; and we cannot stay where we are spiritually. Rise up and take the sword that has been spoken and go forth in pure worship that comes from a pure heart; with confidence knowing you can trust Him for He will be with you. When you trust God, you will never have a need in the earth; poverty will be diminished and taken away from you. Can you hear the sound of the trumpet? Rise up and declare your liberty! 

The Blood of Jesus is pressure in the earth, and has redeeming power; His blood has come to set you free from all that has held you in bondage. God has come to set you free this day that you may be established from the rock of your faith. That rock is called Christ Jesus, the Lord Glory.

Let the Presence of God bring a refreshing to your spirit, soul and body. This is a time for your spiritual roots to grow deeper and stronger. People of God it is imperative that you get rooted and grounded in God. This is a due season time for you to produce roots of truth and righteousness.
