When and Why Not to Pray for Someone

Already, your mind is going in many directions as you attempt to determine what justifies as to not praying for someone, or if that is even biblical.

Well, first and foremost, it is biblical. But not left up to you nor I. Because we all know, if it were based solely on our discretion to pray or not to pray for someone, the majority would do so out of flesh and personal feelings or emotions. Jeremiah 17:9 tells us: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And [incurably sick] desperately wicked; Who can know it? Therefore, as well as you think you may know a person…you don’t. Given the right circumstances, all of us (leaving no one out - all means ALL) can and will do what no one could have ever imagined that person would do. So, do not think more highly of yourself than you ought, there are none that are so righteous that we are incapable of the unthinkable. And yet many do think of themselves as exceedingly better than others and have the audacity to judge another when it was not long ago you did the unthinkable and even went so far as to try to cover it up. So do not judge and be a hypocrite. We ALL were in need of our Saviour Jesus Christ to save us.

This is the part where Jesus reminded many by putting them in their proverbial “place”:

Matthew 7:5 - You hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your friend’s eye.

Luke 6:42 - How can you say to your friend, ‘Friend, let me take that little piece of dust out of your eye’ when you cannot see that big piece of wood in your own eye! You hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your friend’s eye.

But just to drive the point all the way into your soul, let’s look at that scripture again - but this time in The Message Bible translation, which uses very common modern conversational language:

Matthew 7:5

A Simple Guide for Behavior

7: 1-5 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

Luke 6:42

41-42 “It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

So…now, with that said, the Bible speaks of those we are not to pray for. If you see yourself in the following scriptures, all is not lost, repent! Repent means to cease, stop, and make an about-face and turn away from that which you do that is not pleasing to The Lord.

1. You falsely appear, pretend, allege, and profess to be a saint (that is the biblical term for Christian) but your sins are many.

   (Jeremiah 14:7-12) 7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, Do it for Your name’s sake; For our backslidings are many, We have sinned against You.

   8 O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble, Why should You be like a stranger in the land, And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night? 9 Why should You be like a man astonished, Like a mighty one who cannot save? Yet You, O Lord, are in our midst,

   And we are called by Your name; Do not leave us! 10 Thus says the Lord to this people: “Thus they have loved to wander; They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the Lord does not accept them; He will remember their iniquity now, And punish their sins.”

   11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for this people, for their good. 12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.”

2. Those that you see committing sin which is unpardonable such as blasphemy (Matthew 12:31, Mark 3:29), or they are in sin which leads to eternal death (1 John 5:16) If anyone sees a brother or sister sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death), that person should pray, and God will give the sinner life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I do not mean that a person should pray about that sin. You may be asking, “well…what will lead me to eternal death which is Hell? And the answer is found in Revelation 21:8 - But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Let’s amplify that scripture and look at it again in the Amplified Bible Translation: Revelation 21:8 - But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

3. Be careful of the lies taught in churches which do not teach the entire scriptures as to oppress others (Jeremiah 7:1-16) This is the word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah: 2 “Stand at the gate of the Temple and preach this message there:

   “‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of the nation of Judah! All you who come through these gates to worship the Lord, listen to this message! 3 This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: Change your lives and do what is right! Then I will let you live in this place. 4 Don’t trust the lies of people who say, “This is the Temple of the Lord. This is the Temple of the Lord. This is the Temple of the Lord!” 5 You must change your lives and do what is right. Be fair to each other. 6 You must not be hard on strangers, orphans, and widows. Don’t kill innocent people in this place! Don’t follow other gods, or they will ruin your lives. 7 If you do these things, I will let you live in this land that I gave to your ancestors to keep forever.

   8 “‘But look, you are trusting lies, which is useless. 9 Will you steal and murder and be guilty of adultery? Will you falsely accuse other people? Will you burn incense to the god Baal and follow other gods you have not known? 10 If you do that, do you think you can come before me and stand in this place where I have chosen to be worshiped? Do you think you can say, “We are safe!” when you do all these hateful things? 11 This place where I have chosen to be worshiped is nothing more to you than a hideout for robbers. I have been watching you, says the Lord.

   12 “‘You people of Judah, go now to the town of Shiloh, where I first made a place to be worshiped. See what I did to it because of the evil things the people of Israel had done. 13 You people of Judah have done all these evil things too, says the Lord. I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen to me. I called you, but you did not answer. 14 So I will destroy the place where I have chosen to be worshiped in Jerusalem. You trust in that place, which I gave to you and your ancestors, but I will destroy it just as I destroyed Shiloh. 15 I will push you away from me just as I pushed away your relatives, the people of Israel!’

   16 “As for you, Jeremiah [the prophet], don’t pray for these people. Don’t cry out for them or ask anything for them or beg me to help them, because I will not listen to you.

Woe unto them that the Bible is clear: DO NOT PRAY FOR THEM! You are wasting your time, He (The Lord) is not hearing your prayers on their behalf! Why? Because He created us with a free will to serve Him and to do what is right by our on free will and by our own choice, and yet those listed in the “do no pray for them scriptures” have chosen their way; they have chosen the path that leads to eternal damnation. And you aren’t aware of these scriptures nor being taught this because 1. you have not read nor studied the scriptures for yourself as the scriptures admonish us all to do, and 2. Because those of us that are TRUE Apostles and TRUE Prophets (clearly there are false ones). We HEAR from The Lord and aren’t afraid to teach, preach, proclaim, prophesy, and speak the Truth of scriptures for fear of “losing” members or losing the tithe and the offering. Truth be told, I and many True Apostles and True Prophets, don’t draw the tithes and offerings of those that benefit from our ministry, our prayers, and our teachings because many are disobedient to His having told them to tithe or sow where you grow, where you are spiritually taught, healed, and delivered. They prefer to continue attending their dead mega-church or religious church where they actually thought and believed that accepting Christ (Romans 10:9) was enough, and that was all that was required - and that simply is not scriptural. This is why you most likely saw yourself in the scriptures of the “do not pray for them”. And as for me personally, my obedience to The Lord and to my gifting and my calling is not predicated on anyone’s obedience or disobedience, that is a matter left to them and The Lord.

Beloved, may today be the day that you if you saw yourself in the scriptures as one that The Lord said do not pray for because He will not hear the prayers on your behalf, or you are one found in Revelation 21:8, you have now read the scriptures and you now know that there is a such thing as wasting your time praying for some people.

Blessed be the Name of The Lord.

As if Any Were Any Different…

The Parable of the Lost Son, or more commonly known as The Prodigal Son is a Bible story we are all familiar with. Or are we? If you know the story to be told as a man that had two sons; the younger son asked for his inheritance, left home and journeyed to a far away place and literally squandered all of his inheritance to the point he became a hog feeder in the fields to sustain himself and was ready to eat the scraps that were for the hogs because he was broke and hungry, and a famine had hit the land to which he ended up in; then you know the story in which I speak of. It is found in Luke 15:11-32.

There is much to be had from this parable of the prodigal son. And we should all be able to identify, for we have all been there, and done that before we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives and for those who have not accepted Him, sadly you are still there in the life of a prodigal. But all is not lost.

1. The older brother represents the Jew, or the saints (saved) of God. The younger brother represents the gentile (or the unsaved). The older brother is clearly the more focused and disciplined son. He is the son the father can depend on and trust to do right and live righteously. The younger brother, well that is the one our Heavenly Father is seeking to save that [who is] which is lost.

2. The younger brother, with no respect at all for his father, didn’t ask for his inheritance. His pride demanded it. Luke 15:12 - And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And in doing so, the Father gives in not only to the younger son’s request, but also distributes to the older son his portion of inheritance as well. Our Creator is such that, in our underserving, He still is giving to us the grace and mercy we so justly do not deserve. Like when Christ died for us knowing some were never ever going to accept His loving kindness and sacrifice to seek and save us that was or is lost. Romans 5:8 - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therein lies a blatant truth: those of us that are true worshippers of The Lord, we are saved and value our salvation by living according to the scriptures and not according to our carnal nature guided by our flesh - our earthly desires; Father is constantly giving to us above all that we can ever ask or think [to ask]. Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 1 Timothy 6:17 - Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. See the difference? The reckless one, we’ll call him the representation of sin, or the sinner; he demanded his inheritance received it and did exactly what is expected. He blew it on everything that was not righteous. He lived haughtily, arrogant, and wasteful - not thinking about the fact that his inheritance has an end. Because sinners do what makes them sinners, they sin! And the younger son was no different. While the righteous brother, the one in right-standing with his Father, received his inheritance and continued to live as his father and His Creator would have him to do. He did what was expected of him as a righteous son, he lived righteously. I have a saying: entitlement is a mentality, not an actuality. And if you want to see a child ruined and become as rottenness form the inside out, do as this man did and give them everything. They literally become spoiled. That is morally decayed from the inside out.

3. Thankfully, we are all granted an opportunity to see the Way, The Truth, and The Life. We are granted an opportunity to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. But that depends solely on us. He will not and does not force Himself upon us, but just at the man in the parable of the Lost Son, we can and should get to a place where we desire better for our lives. A place where we realize there is better for us and we no longer want to be who we are currently, and we seek the Lord. Just as the younger son did in Luke 15:17-19 - 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. This is where we are humbled and so broken that the things that mattered to us, especially materially, no longer matter. Rock bottom seems to still carry the ability to open up many eyes and make us see, its not about what we wear, or what we drive, or how much material things of value we have, but that our spirit is reborn and that carnal nature of pride and haughtiness has now been subdued by the realization of salvation and what it means to truly be saved! We gain a divine revelation of Jesus Christ and what He did for us through His sacrifice. Amen! John 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.

4. When we see one that was lost and in a place of despair and is destitute, we needed not judge them, its not as if we were without sin and lived a perfect life, but let’s rejoice. Why? Because what we have been receiving all the time (just as the older brother) because He is always with us and we are receiving all He has for us, all the time. But the younger one was lost and he has now come to himself and sees the gift of forgiveness and is ready to receive his spiritual inheritance; which for us is eternal life after we leave this earth.

In closing, we all at one time, were prodigal. We were lost in our sin. And our Heavenly Father and all of Heaven rejoiced as we came into the fold. Luke 15:7 -7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repent, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:10 - 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.

Blessed be the Name of The Lord.

Are You A Friend of God…Are You Even A Friend, Period?

Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How You love me
It's amazing
Who am I, Lord

The Lyrics to the song 🎵, I am a Friend of God. A beautiful song, undoubtedly, heard bellowing on Sunday mornings during praise in churches and assemblies all throughout the Earth. It’s definitely a “feel good” song.

But as with anything concerning the Word of God, we sing and speak scriptural truths that are not necessarily a truth MANY live outside the four walls of fellowship. It’s easy to put on the face of “religion and holiness” it’s as old as those that lived in the Biblical days.

I can show you better than I can tell you and I will show you in scripture:

Luke 18:10-14 - 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The Pharisee stood in pride and “prayed” about himself. Bad move when praying to The Lord God, not to mention just plain ignorant, in that the lack of understanding as to the nature of The Lord God and knowledge of the scriptures

Proverbs 27:2 - Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.

1 Corinthians 1:29-31 - 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in theLord.”

Therefore, it is safe to say the Pharisee didn’t know The God he believed he was serving. He knew how to walk in pride and boast as if he was holy, when in actuality he was just religious and religion is a ritual and formality that by its very definition keeps many away from The One True Living God! STRIVE FOR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD GOD; NOT TO BE RELIGIOUS.

The scriptures give us definitions, illustrations, and demonstrations of what is a friend. Friendship begins with love. Not love as a feeling per se, but as an act of one’s will.

I will use myself as an example to explain:

My love for others is not predicated on how others treat me, or what they think of me. I choose to love because that is what’s in my heart. It’s a choice, my choice, and not a ”touchy-feelie” emotion that vacillates between my “moods” because that is flesh born of a carnal nature.I have been granted a Supernatural Revelation of Hell and I can say for certain I do not desire that any should spend eternity there and yet so many are. But I can also say for certain, that I will not be there. My heart, my words, and my deeds have been made new by the washing of the water of the Word of God I live the will of my Heavenly Father because I know and understand His Word

I don’t have time to walk in flesh by gossiping, lying, murmuring, or playing with this gift and my calling for selfish gain. I have been entrusted to teach and lead souls to Christ; therefore, though I may love you, I may abstain from your presence in my life simply because you may not be walking upright before The Lord, and my salvation is far too valuable to me to allow it to be determined by the actions of others I can and will depart from toxicity.

1 Corinthians 15:33 - Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

And you already know the scriptures I MUST share:

Matthew 7:13-14 - 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Isaiah 5:14 - 14 Therefore Sheol [Hell] has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

Is it really worth it to “flex” on this earth and spend eternity in torment in Sheol [Hell]? Those two scriptures alone should cause you to live for your eternal life and not for pride, pomp, and pageantry here on Earth.

Anyhow, according to the scriptures, friend(ship) begins with love. Not your definition of love, but the scriptural definition of love:

1 Corinthians 13 - The Way of Love

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

So I ask…are you a friend according to the scriptures?

Husbands, do you love your wives? Are you friends?

Ephesians 5:25-30
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.

Wives do you love your husbands? Are you friends according to scripture definitions?

Ephesians 5:22-24

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Wives, skip on over to Proverbs 31 to gain a better understanding of Ephesians 5:22-24. Because so many do not understand Ephesians 5:22-24 in terms of a wife loving her husband. It is misunderstood to mean that the woman is subjugated to her husband; when in actuality Proverbs 31 tells us in great detail that she is a well-rounded successful woman and the fruit of her love and friendship is demonstrated through her husband, through her children, in her business affairs, in her attitude, her character, and her personality. She represents her husband, her children and her household well! She represents well period!

And if you are honest and find that you are not a friend in your earthly relationships according to scripture (not according to YOUR definition)…then are you a friend of God?

Hmmm…let’s see:

James 2:23 - 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

Well, lookie lookie…Abraham didn’t call God his friend, the scriptures say his [Abraham’s] faith was accounted to him as being in right-standing with The Lord God…and because of his faith which led to his obedience, he was called a friend of God! You and I don’t determine and declare that we are a friend of God, The Lord God determines our worthiness to be called friend of God. Remember that

Beloved, James 2:23 leaves more for you to ponder and meditate then I ever, in my finite mere self , ever could. In fact, this entire blog leaves much to ponder in your heart and take a really honest look at yourself as a friend to mankind and more importantly as a friend to God.

In Christ’s Love Dear Friends,

Liberty or Restraint?

There are always options. The question is, which one do YOU choose? If you are honest with yourself, most likely you choose options based on others. Sadly, most live outwardly, living to impress others. Very few people, especially adults - even more so than children, make decisions and choices that will mitigate being judged or targeted as the topic of lies and gossip. Or the polar opposite, choices made that will impress others (or in your own heart and in your own mind) you believe will impress others and therefore cause others to covet or desire to have what you have, or even want to be you. As crazy as that may sound; it really does happen.

You have heard me say it many times: ‘I am too old for peer pressure’ and I genuinely mean that.

But more importantly, I KNOW my God, I KNOW whom I serve. And I both fear Him and love Him equally. But my fear is not an earthly dread or panic, it is an in-awe fear towards Him because He- first-loved-me-and- proved-His-love-for-me type of fear. Wouldn’t you, or don’t you do all that you can to keep safe and please those that you love? Of course you do! But to truly love (agape) we must first love our Creator (Elohim - The Lord), our Redeemer (Jesus Christ), and our Comforter (Holy Spirit). For it is easy to pretend the peace is there, or pretend that the joy is there, but in actuality, the misery and the void are what’s really there. And that void cannot be filled with idolatry - that is the love of things, the love of icons, the love of money and wealth.

Can I share a secret with you? This is a secret meant to be shared, but most don’t share it because it does not fit into their persona.
We are created in the image and the likeness of our Creator. Therefore, that void is there because our souls are meant to align with our spirit which is created in the image and the likeness of our Creator. And when we realize that, we have liberty, that is to say we have freedom. And we have a peace, which passes ALL understanding!

Many have looked at my life in either confusion or judgment because they could not understand how I can have peace and sleep well with my choices and my decisions. I’ll tell you how,

1. I Trust in My Lord and I do what pleases Him (Psalm 37:3 - 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.)

2. I do not fear mankind. (Matthew 10:28 - 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.)

3. I know and understand His plans and purpose for my life. (Philipians 2:13 - 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.)

4. I take care of His Kingdom matters and He takes Care of my earthly matters. (Matthew 6:33 - 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.)

My list could go on, but you get the point. If you are not walking in liberty, which simply stated is freedom intertwined with peace and joy, stop and take an honest look at you. This is between you and your Creator and no one else. The God that created you for His plan and His purpose. You will never find what you are looking for to fufill that void you have, because you are looking for things in this natural and earthly realm, but you are a spirit being who lives in a body called flesh and blood, and you are constantly trying to satisfy your flesh with earthly things that have absolutely no spiritual value and don’t add to your eternal life at all. In fact, your thought processes and your deeds are ensuring you have eternal death, that is your soul is cast into eternal damnation. You will not see “the pearly gates” as one beloved sister in Christ calls it.

Don’t take my word for it, read the scriptures for yourself. I have read them and studied them and continue to study them. I have read the Bible from cover to cover twice thus far: once from beginning to end and the second time in chronological order, and I am about overdue to re-read it again. Because each time reading it and continually studying, Father reveals Himself to me a degree beyond (shoutout to Apostle Reginald Carson for imparting into us that term he coined) and a deeper level than before.
Because it is written in John 10:30 - I and the Father are one. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. In other words, Father took His Word(s) and put them into a body and called Him Jesus, His only Begotten Son. (John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.)

And honestly, I dare say those in leadership that have not read the Bible at least once from beginning to end, you really should not be teaching, pastoring, or leading Father’s flock, because the scriptures really do build precept upon precept and line upon line. Therefore, it really is impossible to have a full understanding of scriptures you have not yet even read. Thus, scriptures are continually isolated and mistaught. Speaking into the lives of those putting their trust in you for spiritual guidance is damnable for your souls as well as those you are leading astray by your ignorance (lack of knowledge). Ministry is not a career designed to make you rich, it is a calling of servitude and sacrifice. Read the book of Jeremiah and pay close attention to the 14th chapter for those who want to play the role of the prophet. If you knew the cost of walking in the gift of a True Prophet(ess) you really would get yourself somewhere and sit down!

That right there is a deep teaching. Stay tuned - here at JITA Ministries, we go deep into the study of God’s Holy Word, and we are unapologetic Kingdom Warriors, winning souls through teaching, training, and equipping so that the man/woman of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. We will teach on that again - maybe or maybe not - it is as the Lord leads.

I leave you with this question: Is it liberty or is it restraint you are living? It’s not a trick question, but it does have a very loaded answer.

Liberty in Christ Jesus is restraint! Yes, it is! If you have been made free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death you are living out this earthly life in a good restraint. You restrain from that which is unacceptable and displeasing to our Heavenly Father.

[Hosea 4:2 - By swearing and lying, killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed.

Without restraint, mankind will do anything and everything evil and sinful. Everyday that is proven to be such the case. Mankind is too blinded and quite frankly, too foolish to fear The Creator.

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

When you have revelation (understanding and knowledge of the scriptures and who the Lord is) you have restraint. You have not left this life you are living - that you did not create nor breath the breadth of life into - to your own knowledge and understanding. You have trusted in The Lord YOUR God. [Proverbs 3:5-6 - 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.]

Blessed Be The Name of The Lord!

in His Service,

Sneak In…Squeeze Out

The story of Ruth in the Bible came to mind this morning. Not the love story portion where Ruth meets the wealthy entrepreneur Boaz; but the story of her mother-in-law Naomi.

We don’t learn much of Naomi, except that she was married to Elimelech, who was from Bethlehem, the Tribe of Judah and that they had two sons: Mahlon and Chilion. Due to famine, they sojourned to Moab and remained there. Elimelech died and the two sons took wives (Moabite Women): Orpah and Ruth. The scriptures tell us the five of them remained in Moab approximately ten years, then tragedy struck; both Mahlon and Chilion died. Leaving behind three widows; Naomi and her two daughter-in-laws: Orpah and Ruth.

Having lost her husband to death and approximately 10 years later, losing her 2 sons to death, Naomi’s hurt and pain turned to bitterness.

Let me parenthetical pause here to fill in some important gaps: Elimelech’s name means (My God is King), Naomi’s name means (to be pleasant, sweet one) and Mahlon’s name means (sickness) and finally, Chilion’s name means (wasting or consumption).

So much so, she told both daughter-in-laws to leave her and return to their mothers’ house and she would return to Judah because she had heard that The Lord had visited His people giving them bread. Both declined to return to their mothers, but upon further insistence, Orpah finally agreed. Naomi had reminded them they still were young enough to marry again. Orpah agreed and returned home. And the Bible is specific to say Orpah returned to her people and to her gods, but Ruth refused and pleaded with Naomi saying:

Ruth 1:16-17

16 But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”

And the scripture goes on to say that when Naomi realized Ruth’s determination, she said nothing more about it. And they returned to Bethlehem, Judah.

Upon her arrival back to her homeland, everyone was excited because of them and very happy to see them. And as most any would do, they said, “Is that you Naomi?!” And Naomi, because she is bitter responds, “Don’t call me Naomi, call me Mara (which literally means bitter) because the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty, So why call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

In modern day, I can see most, especially religious “church” people, particularly religious “church” women doing what they do best, being busybodies and gossiping.

As soon as they hear Naomi saying this they get on their phones and start telling others what Naomi said. You know what I am speaking about, it goes something like this: “Girl…yeah…I just talk to Naomi, and she is not the Naomi we knew…girl….Elimelech died, and then 10 years later both her sons died!…Girl, yes!….Mahon and Chilion died! And man, she is bitter!” Then that one calls another and says, “Yeah…did you hear about Naomi?…Un huh…yeah, she is bitter….I heard its because her husband and her sons died.” You have to laugh because you know what I am saying is truth! And its sad, because this has turned so many off from church. I said church! Hopefully, those that are fed up with modern-day churches, are still seeking The Lord, our Creator. True followers called by His name, know how to walk in Godly character because they have relationship with the Most High God, not religion and are not pretending to be holy, and spiritual, and deep. When they are carnal and driven by the carnality of their souls

But if you know the story of Ruth , then you know it ends well.

Ruth being the virtuous woman of character that she was, asked Naomi to allow her to go out to the fields and glean from the fields what she could for them to have sustenance (food). Back in those days, they that were God’s people had a law (Book of Deuteronomy) that the wealthy were to leave back a portion of their harvest for the poor to glean, or take if you will, what was left behind. So in essence, Ruth was “getting on the system” as it is referred to in modern day. And please understand, I am not judging, if you need public assistance to feed your family, by all means do so! Ruth was a humble lady of great character. She had to be, to have stayed with her mother-in-law and not return to her own mother’s home. There is a teaching right there to be studied. Perhaps another time.

Anyhow, Boaz, who was Naomi’s husband’s relative, was very wealthy and saw Ruth and instantly was smitten. But he was tastefully smitten, he inquired of his employees who the new girl (Ruth) was gleaning from his field and learned that she is the daughter-in-law of his late relative Elimelech and he learned of how after her husband died, Ruth stayed with her mother-in-law. He also learned of all that she had done for her mother-in-law, Naomi in trying to take care of and provide for the 2 of them.

After learning of this, Boaz told his employees to hold back extra for Ruth and then he told Ruth, “don’t go to any other fields, set your eyes on this field, and you will have all that you need”. And eventually, in sharing this news with her mother-in-law (Naomi), Naomi encouraged Ruth on how to serve Boaz in such a way that he would recognize that she was indeed available and very much willing to be his wife. Again, nothing distasteful. They had honor and character back in those days, nothing like the “dating” scene of men and women today. In fact, dating is not found in the scriptures because it isn’t biblical, perhaps one of my blogs or next relationship and marriage teaching/speaking event will be a teaching on that very subject Lord willing

Now here is the point: Naomi was faced with great adversity. [when you are dealing with great adversity or stress, how do you act? What comes our of you?]. She lost her family (husband and her only children, two sons). She and her family were from Bethlehem, Judah. Judah being one of the tribes of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. They knew the Lord and knew Him intimately. Or at least should have. For they were God’s people.

Both of Elimelech and Naomi’s sons were born with health challenges which is most likely the cause of their deaths. It therefore, stands to reason that Naomi had it hard caring for and raising her two sons who were born sickly. And that challenge, probably is what started the root of bitterness within her. Then her husband dies which cannot be easy to accept and deal with. And within 10 years, her two sons are both deceased. Naomi’s family gone. That’s a hurtful thing.

And Naomi, like many who are called by His name, felt that as a child of the Most High God, “why are both my children born sick and my husband dies?’ In her mind, she probably believed in the whole name-it-and-claim-it fallible doctrine and that if you confesst Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior, then you are saved from Sheol (Hell) and you are saved from anything bad. (There is a whole lot more to confessing Jesus Christ versus accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. For if you truly accept Him, a lot of flesh and carnality that you exude in your heart and your daily living will not be there, it is replaced by the Fruit of His Spirit). And ladies and gentlemen, we know this simply isn’t true. But…as I teach over and over and over again, with scriptural proof, if you don’t read and study the scriptures for yourself - as we are told to do in the scriptures, you don’t and won’t understand scripture because you can’t and don’t know .

Oh why…please tell me why, so many get up in the pulpits and altars and “preach” having no knowledge and understanding of the scriptures. Most have not even read the scriptures [The Bible] from cover-to-cover. Why do those who do that not fear the God that they say they serve? Wearing a title and having no relationship with Him. You will give an account, and be judged by The Lord, for having lead His people astray.

Souls really do perish for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6) Don’t you preach or teach what you don’t know nor understand. You think you led someone to Christ and they are in Sheol (Hell)!

Proverbs 4:5-7

5 Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;
Love her, and she will keep you.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.

Anyhow, Naomi was most likely tired, distraught, frustrated, and discouraged. She had reached a tipping point and most likely was fragile, and it did not take much more to send her over the edge. So, after losing her husband, and then her 2 sons; she was spent.

And yep…you guessed it, bitterness sprung forth.

Hebrews 12:15

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

Naomi, couldn’t realize that Ruth was a manifestation of God’s grace and mercy in her life. Because what was in her is all that could come out of her.

Matthew 15:11

11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

In other words, when you squeeze that tube of toothpaste you expect toothpaste to come out. Otherwise, something is very wrong with you. So lets all agree, if you squeeze the tube of toothpaste, you are looking for toothpaste to come out. Adversity squeezed out the bitterness that was inside of Naomi, but not to rid her of it, but simply stated, it was her make up after years of un-dealt with pain and sorrow building up inside of her. Naomi was filled with bitterness

It sneaks in…bitterness, in the case of this story. But it could be anger, pride, stubbornness, arrogance, whoredom, lying spirit, or whatever transgression it is.

And when adversity comes along, you are squeezed, (stressed) and again in Naomi’s case, bitterness; but perhaps in your case, it’s something else like jealousy and envy, or pride, or anger, or stubbornness, or whatever…that’s what’s in you, so that is what will come out of you.

And perhaps as in Naomi’s case you can’t see it in yourself but others around you can and sadly they have to experience it or they choose to experience it because for right now, it is their calling, their assignment, but eventually, that grace and mercy will run out and so will the person that stayed until Father releases them from you.

Pray that a Ruth (God’s grace and mercy) is there to stand with you and for you in your time of adversity, so that you can overcome and receive your inheritance.

Thankfully, The Lord, through Ruth’s marriage to Boaz, restored Naomi’s husband’s land and the inheritance of her two deceased sons to Naomi. Boaz, stepped up and stepped in by going to the gate and speaking with Elimelech’s relatives to see if they wanted to try to lay claim to Elimelech’s estate, and knowing the repercussions of claiming something that rightfully belongs to another, they declined and cleared the way for all to be restored to Naomi.

And by the way, Boaz and Ruth married and had a son named Obed. Obed was the grandfather of King David. Also, through this genealogy came Jesus Christ the Messiah. Amen and Hallelujah!

Blessed be the Name of the Lord God Most High!

Blessings!

Spiritual Things

1 Corinthians 3:1-3

3 Brothers and sisters, in the past I could not talk to you as I talk to spiritual people. I had to talk to you as I would to people without the Spirit—babies in Christ.

2 The teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food, because you were not able to take solid food. And even now you are not ready.

3 You are still not spiritual, because there is jealousy and quarreling among you, and this shows that you are not spiritual. You are acting like people of the world.

Lets go over it again: you (and I) are a spirit, we live in a body, and we have a soul. (Our mind, our will, our intellect, our emotions)

When we die, that is, our earthly bodies, return to the dust of the earth. Our bodies decompose. However, the true us, our spirit - THAT which is created in the image and the likeness of the Godhead (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit)

Genesis 1:26 -Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;

will either have eternal life or eternal death. Eternal life being Heaven, or eternal death which is our soul being cast into eternal damnation and being forever separated from The One True Living God.

There is a lot that can be said about this, and I am sure, for those that are carnal, having not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and being baptized of The Holy Spirit; this may as well be a foreign language to you. In my most recent book, “Simple Truth Concerning Your Adversary” in keeping with the same schematic as with all my books; this truth of the scriptures, and much more, is taught line by line and precept upon precept with simplicity for your understanding.

However, now understanding that you are a spirit being, lets talk about spiritual things.

Because our Creator, The Lord God, is a Spirit

John 4:24 - 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

And simply stated, we being spirits, must worship Him as spirit beings. In other words, that part of us that is created in His image and His likeness, is the part of us, that needs to come before Him. Not our mind, not our will, not emotions, and certainly not our intellect. We must worship Him, in spirit and in truth. Not in flesh, not in faking it, not in pride, and not in haughtiness as if He works for you as some spiritual butler. And surely, as our Creator, He knows your truth or lack thereof. So that “show” being put on each Sunday in His altar…no! God says No! He knows everything about us, right down to the number of hairs on our head!

Luke 12:7 - 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

And yet most treat The Creator, Holy God - Lord of All, as a mere afterthought. Your life is so busy, you can’t make time to pray, read the scriptures, or even spend time in His presence. Imagine that, He created you, and all that you have; and the fact that you are even alive is because of Him, and yet you have become so encumbered with the cares of this world, that you don’t know your Creator. You don’t know nor understand His nature.

Mark 4:19 - 19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

You just know to go through the rituals, of maybe church attendance, pray before you eat, lie and tell others that you are praying for them - when you are not and have no intentions to do so, and you call upon Him when you are in a situation that human hands cannot fix! And even then, you don’t really expect Him to deliver on the prayers you prayed - it really is just a ritual or a formality for you, it is what you have been taught by religion to do.

I will say it again, get away from these dead churches. Yes Beloved, they are dead if the Spirit of the One True Living God is not moving through them, and you will know if He is or He is not by the congregants. What is their life like? What is going on in the fellowship? A lot of flesh and pretending to be Holy and Spiritually deep? A congregation filled with adulterers, gossipers, sexual sinners, addicts, and those puffed up with pride? Of course that is what is going on, but yet you choose to devalue your salvation by being a part of that foolishness. Because you don’t know, nor understand who you are in Christ Jesus.
Religion, which is a successful work of the adversary, has drawn you in by your carnal natural, your soul. The adversary doesn’t have access to your spirit, so he entices you by your soul. By your emotions, by your will, by your intellect, and by your mind.

1 Corinthians 14:20 - 20 Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like babies, but in your thinking you should be like adults.

And now, life has become hard. It has become like a train wreck that happened. And you feel at your wits end.

Proverbs 13:15 - 15 Good understanding gains favor, But the way of the unfaithful is hard.

Please take a moment to read my Blog titled “Learn of Me”. I am true to my calling, and I share with you as Father shares with me, because that is my calling. And yet, I may as well bang my head against a brick wall, because when I am trying to minister to you prophetically as spirit beings, about spiritual things, I can literally see it going in one in and out the other, your mind isn’t even hearing The Word of the Lord, but when life gets hard, then, I hear from you and you want a word, a word that will anesthetize or even annihilate your urgent disastrous situation! And yet, He was always right there, pleading with you to learn of Him, accept the gift of salvation He provided for you. You aren’t doing God’s will, God’s way Beloved. That is first and foremost.

Let me share from scripture, some tools that have freely come with your salvation if you would only learn of Him. And truth being, you haven’t gotten this in the church you are so faithful to, and yet here you are.

Regrettably, many of God’s people do not “tap” into the gifts we have been given to protect The Body of Christ and that are designed to keep The Body of Christ strong in our faith and strong in our salvation. You didn’t have time to Learn of Him. Which by the way, would you let a stranger into your home? So why do you think you will leave this earth and make it into Heaven? You didn’t know Him and He didn’t know you! And He tells us of this in scripture:

Matthew 7:21-23 - 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

So don’t think your church attendance and your giving to the church has earned you brownie points. There are many in Sheol (Hell) now, that if they could come back would tell you so.

Which by the way, many of you are supposed to be tithing to this ministry, this is where you come to be taught the scriptures and spiritually fed by the teaching and the prophetic gifting, and yet you are not in the will of God because you do not. And I turn none away, I know my calling and my gifting and continue to walk in it, my obedience to my Lord is not predicated on whether or not you are obedient. But, your disobedience it costing you greatly.
Don’t just take my word for it, read the scriptures:

Matthew 13:3-13

3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

11He 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.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

And thus, your way has become hard. You have been turned over to a reprobate mind.

Still talking about spiritual things, let us take a look at some spiritual gifts for us as spirit beings:

1. The Tithe - Now, if you give just a tenth of your in-come, meaning that which comes into you financially, He promises you four things: 1. He will open up the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that you will not have room enough to receive it, 2. He promises you He will rebuke (you and I can’t rebuke anything, search the scriptures, the Lord rebukes - not you and I) the devourer for our sakes, that simply means the adversary is stopped, block by the Lord from stealing, killing, and destroying our blessings and our seeds that yield our harvest of blessings, 3. He will make sure that when we are obedient to His will His way, whatever good seeds we have sown will reap a bountiful harvest, in other words when our ways are pleasing to Him - He will make even our enemies to be at peace with us, and no matter how little we have, it will always be enough! (Proverbs 16:7-8 - 7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.) 4. And finally, everyone is going to see how blessed you are and call you blessed!

Malachi 3:8-12

8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.

11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the Lord of hosts;
12 “And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

2. You and I have been given spiritual gifts. You say, “I don’t have any gifts, or if I do, I don’t know what they are”. Well, Beloved if you read your bible, had a consistent and sincere prayer life, or even aligned yourself with a church or ministry of true worshippers that teaches such; you would know your gifts. In fact, you would be operating and functioning in your gift(s). Therefore, you are without excuse, because its written in His Word. And you would be using your spiritual gifts to benefit others. Not just your earthly gift like your job, that’s for you beloved to care for your family and earthly requirements. Again, we are talking spiritual things.

Here are the gifts, beginning with the Spiritual gifts. That is to say gifts of The Holy Spirit:

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Understanding, without the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, you have none of these gifts working within you. He, meaning The Spirit of The God Most High, distributes these gifts to each of us as He wills, meaning as He desires.

If I were not in the will of God, if I were not saved, or if I believed I was saved and yet, none of this is operating in my life, and I am not a tither or tithing on unfruitful ground , and I was sitting in a dead church, and if life were getting the better of me and beating me up; I would stop right now, and repent (that means to ask forgiveness and stop living the way you have been living) and commit my life to The Lord, or for some re-commit your life to The Lord. It is not worth, living Hell on Earth, only to die and live Hell again - way worse, and forever. This earth, this life, is not your eternal (forever) home, and yet how you live on this earth determines how you will spend eternity (forever). And might I just say: forever is a long time to be wrong. So now is the time to do an about-face and get it right. Don’t delay, life is short and no one wakes up thinking or believing that this is the day they will die, and yet everyday…every second, someone dies. Don’t let your life end without you having gotten your life right with The Lord. And don’t allow your soul to convince you that you are ok, the scriptures are clear, but you don’t know what they say, so you have made up your own rules thinking you are good and will make it in.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or you need to recommit your life to The Lord - our Creator, please go to the contact page of this website and pray the prayer of salvation. And after you have done that pray that from this day forward you do His will His way, because the days are evil, and being outside of His ark of safety is only going to cement your already hard and difficult way. You need your Creator, you are but His creation, and apart from Him, you can do nothing. You need His help right now, today - you have situations and circumstances thar require Him and Him alone, because you need supernatural help and supernatural protection. The angels of The Lord, stand ready to come to your aide and to your defense.

He stands at the door and knocks. Beloved, why not open the door of your spirit, the door of your soul, and let Him in. Let Him be Lord in and of your life!

Lovingly in Christ Jesus,

I’m in Heaven…Dancing Cheek-to-Cheek

“Heaven…I’m in Heaven…

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek,

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.”

The above lyrics from the song “Cheek to Cheek” by Fred Astaire continues to resonate from my spirit.  Continuously playing in my spirit over and over as if on repeat.

Oh…the wonders of His love!  

I awakened this morning from a dream in which I had been invited to come into a part of The Kingdom of Heaven and dance with Father’s angels. So few are allowed in this particular area; that when I was escorted in, I was the only “earthen vessel” there at the time.

I was being taught to “dance” with My Father. It was more of a ballroom dance and it required us be in step and our steps had to be in sync, on one accord.  To dance with my Father, by doing His Will on earth; following His leading.

My obedience to This Calling has earned me certain and specific Kingdom rights and privileges.

What a humbling blessing and such a gift!

Certainly, not boasting; nothing about the work of the ministry is for vain glory. For no flesh shall glory in His presence! We are to serve with humility, always reminded that these are souls He created: and we ourselves had nothing to do with it.

For I hear in my spirit: “get off My altar! You have perverted My Church with your uncleanliness! For you live a life of “garbage in/garbage out” as a worker of iniquity! You live for the world in works of the flesh not works of the Spirit! ‘Be holy for I AM holy’“

There is a place in The Father’s heart for His True Servants!  Those that sacrifice for the Kingdom and give their all for the cause of Christ. Forsaking all, just be in the center of His will! Serving no other God’s, especially the god of self.

Hearing Him alone is an amazing wonder of His love; but to be trusted to serve in His Kingdom on Earth and minister His love to His people is humbling!

Our One True Living God saying “I have chosen YOU to serve Me and represent Me.”

Isaiah 51:16

And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”

Don’t you think for one minute that this calling and this gifting is roses and we float on clouds in these supernatural gifts.  Quite the contrary, it is a constant spiritual battle. We war daily to minister, release a word,  and speak deliverance. We stay in constant prayer (tongues) to battle for souls. 

Therefore, When He ministers to me as He is doing at this very moment , it brings peace to my soul and rest from being tired and weary.  I love that He loves me!

Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Oh the wonders of His Love!

To know Him and to serve Him is a beautiful gift! The honor of honors!

Oh, how He loves you and me!

Isaiah 49:16

See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.

Oh, to be accepted into the beloved!

Ephesians 1:6

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Hallelujah to The Lamb of God!

To Him who sits on The Throne, and unto The Lamb; be glory, and honor, and power and praise!!!

Lord, I worship you! 

May the sacrifice of my life in service to You continue to be pleasing and acceptable in Your sight, O Lord for you are my strength and my redeemer! 

Humbly,  I beseech You to continue to grant to me Your Servant, Your Apostle, Your Prophetess; wisdom that I may continue to minister to Your people, that they might know You and serve You - our Creator, all the days of their lives!

Blessed be the name of The Lord!

I love dancing with you Cheek-to-Cheek, in my ballroom white robe, moving with carefully orchestrated steps that are perfectly and divinely orchestrated! Your will, Your way Father!

Selah for now. 

In the riches of Your glory,

Your Servant, Your Apostle, Your Prophetess,

Learn of Me

This morning, a prophetic woman of God shared a dream she had with me: “I had what seemed like an apocalyptic dream…I don’t know, like the end of days. I don’t know what it was the end of. And yet so many people were dying or they had such weak faith because we would step on these platforms, and we step on other people’s platforms and their platforms just began to sink, like just drop. But then I would find someone who had more faith. And the platform would be more stable.”

And naturally, Father gave me the interpretation. I was reminded of the scripture Matthew 11:29:

29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

It further goes on to say in Matthew 11:30:

30 For My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Many of you are living a life that isn’t yours. Meaning, you have allowed the cares of this world to dictate to you, who you must be. And trust me, that dictate of who you are supposed to be is rooted in pride. You can measure this truth for yourself. For those of you that are in debt, to credit cards, car payments (don’t let that expensive car need repairs, because you didn’t figure on those when you got the car, you just had to have it because of what brand (make) the car is — to give you some sort of self-inflicted pride), or do you matter-of fact slip in the conversation information about your job title, your level of income, you take selfies that have to be strategic and perfect because you are going to post them and you want yourself, something you are wearing, or even something you own in the background to be shown on the image so that when you post, your 500+ “friends” will see you? That is not your purpose, nor who you were created to be. No Beloved, not at all.

We are created in His image and in His likeness, it is not our Creator who changes His creation to be what I just described; It is His creation that chooses to take on a life of pride that is deeply steeped in idolatry. You see someone or something that you covet and you decide, “I too must have that!” Someone’s hairstyle, or maybe the car that they drive, or the neighborhood that they live in. King Solomon, whom the Bible says is the wisest man that ever lived, called this mindset vanity of vanities. (Ecclesiastes 1:2)

And yet Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:29, that we don’t have to live that way nor be that way. It is a road that will lead to destruction. Remember: Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18). And once that happens, you can be assured that life for your is difficult, it is hard. Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard. (Proverbs 13:15) Remember, how you wanted it so badly, you took leave of your senses and live with the regret of your foolishness (the Bible calls it your folly) everyday of your life. Verse 16 continues with: Every prudent and self-disciplined man [or woman] acts with knowledge, But a [closed-minded] fool [who refuses to learn] displays his foolishness [for all to see].

I have to giggle and chuckle because pride made you do something so stupid instead of listening to wise counsel; your act or actions is now out there for world to see. The adversary has a way of making us so stupid because we are blinded, then afterwards he flees, our eyes of understanding are opened and we feel and look foolish, or just plain stupid! We are left holding the “proverbial” bag

And you know the wicked heart, it gossips and talks about you, so even if you wanted to forget about it, you can’t because the busybodies won’t stop talking about it.

Sidenote: don’t worry about the busybodies who gossip and run their mouths about the business of others, they too are mentioned in the Bible, see here: Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or any sort of criminal [in response to persecution], or as a troublesome meddler interfering in the affairs of others; (I Peter 4:15). The context of that scripture is this; if you are going to suffer, make sure you are suffering for the cause of Christ. Because Jesus told us in John 15:18-19,

John 15:18-19 New King James Version The World’s Hatred

18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

you see, the world hates Jesus, so if you are a TRUE follower of Christ Jesus, you too will be hated. But you should rejoice because that means you are doing what a TRUE follower of Christ (Christian) does and His Spirit rests upon you.

Therefore, in actuality that 500+ or more social media “friends” you are proud to have, speaks volumes to who you are versus who you are not in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 4:12-17 Amplified Bible

Share the Sufferings of Christ

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test you [that is, to test the quality of your faith], as though something strange or unusual were happening to you. 

13 But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that when His glory [filled with His radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may rejoice with great joy. 

14 If you are insulted and reviled for [bearing] the name of Christ, you are blessed [happy, with life-joy and comfort in God’s salvation regardless of your circumstances], because the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you [and indwelling you—He whom they curse, you glorify]. 

15 Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or any sort of criminal [in response to persecution], or as a troublesome meddler interfering in the affairs of others; 

16 but if anyone suffers [ill-treatment] as a Christian [because of his belief], he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God [because he is considered worthy to suffer] in this name. 

17 For it is the time [destined] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not respect or believe or obey the gospel of God?

Can I show you something? Ok, let me put it this way, you should close out of this message if you don’t want to see it. (giggle - wink*) If you know me, you know my intellectual humor.

Anyhow, take a look at this, you will see this verse of scripture in a way you have not been taught, I have a five-fold teaching mantle upon me, to teach the scriptures, because He opens them up to me to teach with clarity and simplicity, its an anointing.

So lets look and see what He would have us to see:

Matthew 11:25-30 New King James Version

Jesus Gives True Rest

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Father has not given to Jesus to give to you to even know of Him and therefore, or be of Him because it is not His will. Read it again. You are not one of His own, even though you call yourself a Christian and even go to church. You might have even been able to wrangle a title out of the minister in charge where you fellowship. But its just that, that man or woman gave you a title, but Father did not, Father did not anoint you. He didn’t call you to handle His sheep. Oop…and the few times you get up there in the altar and pulpit, it becomes clear that you are of your father the devil.

John 8:44-46: 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

Its not your preach nor your speak Beloved, its your acts, your deeds, your heart . How you live. Do you radiate Christ’s glory upon you? Have you won any souls? I mean truly won someone over for Christ and they are actually still to this day living it and even teaching it and in turn winning souls over to Christ as well. Probably not, if you are honest, you thought that was the job of a pastor. And yet you will not find that misnomer anywhere in the scriptures. Go ahead, try…I’ll wait…

Anyhow, while you look that up, I will close with this: Jesus Christ did all the “heavy lifting” for us. But over and over, centuries upon centuries, millenniums upon millenniums, the true meaning of the Scriptures continues to get lost in translations. That is due to how people translate the scriptures because they don’t understand them, they have been mistaught by “pastors” and “preachers” who have not read nor studied the scriptures, and most don’t truly understand who Jesus Christ is. Most will say He died on the cross for our sins. Beloved that is the answer to how He was able to die on the Cross and take upon Him the sin of the world. You must understand who He is in the Godhead. The answer with scriptural proof and understanding is my book Thy Kingdom Come, and my soon to be released books More Simple Truth, Terms of Simple Truth, and Simple Truth Concerning your Adversary.

Remember this, from 2 Timothy 3:16: All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;

you can’t teach or learn the scriptures because Father has not inspired (breathed) His Spirit upon you to learn and understand them. And He will not until you learn to accept His rebuke, His correction and then, and only then will He train you in the way of righteousness. Did He not say in 1 Peter 1:16: because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Beloved, follow not the things of this world nor desire the things of this world. You cannot take any of it with you when you leave (die) this earth. Invest in your salvation, this is invest in your soul and spirit. Hear Him saying: Learn of Me.

Matthew 11:29 Amplified Bible

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.

In Christ Love and in His Service,

Easy For Some, Difficult for Others

It can be said a hundred million gazillion times, and still the majority will miss it.  God is real. Heaven is real. Hell is real.  And our actions, or lack thereof, will dictate where we spend eternity.

We are born into this world with gifts and callings from the Most High God.  And yet, so many know not what they are called to do, gifted to be, nor do they know nor understand their purpose in the earth.

But for those of us who do know our giftings and callings; because we know and understand our purpose in the earth, it is that much more difficult and greater the task to fulfill our purpose. We labor not only in our vineyard, but we labor in the vineyards of so many others because the commission from on High is to win souls by feeding His sheep.

Seems easy enough, but there is so much more to winning souls than handing out a track, or inviting someone to church, or praying for someone. All of these actions are a “one and done” type way believed to win souls.  And most likely, the track you handed out ended up as liter on the ground; you extended an invitation to a church that Holy Spirit isn’t in – its just all religion and flesh; and you said you would pray with or for someone, and your prayers aren’t even reaching heaven! You don’t know The Lord!

So here is where the labor is greater for the true believers, those of us who are spiritual, that is our spirit is akin to The Lord; we are filled with and governed by the Spirit of God :

Galatians 6:1 New King James Version

Bear and Share Burdens

6 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

It is not easy to convince others, without offending them, that they are living a life that is not pleasing to the Lord.  I have found, more often than not, especially in this gifting, that those who are not spiritual don’t believe what you are telling them.  Especially if they are a train wreck just waiting to happen, and you try to warn them to change the course of their life, they not only reject the word of the Lord, but they pull away from you, thinking out of sight – out of mind. And yet, it is a loving and faithful God, that is trying to save you from yourself and give you a more abundant life here on earth.  

John 10:10 New King James Version

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.

Not to mention, securing your salvation, because while you are nowhere close to thinking about what happens to you after you die, He is and He sends His servants to labor in your vineyard (seek to save the lost souls).   

You see, your adversary, the thief, has come to steal your very life from you. Whatever you want, he will give it to you, as long as you agree (get into a covenant and you didn’t even realize you just entered into a contractual agreement - often verbal ) with him.  You want wealth? You want attention? You want acceptance and approval from man instead of from God? He will influence you to go after it by any means necessary, because the way you get it is probably contrary to His Word in the scriptures, illegal, dangerous, or destroys others; and now he has gotten a (“2 for”…or bogo by one get one - your deeds and actions affected more than just you) and

Isaiah 5:14 New Century Version

14 So the place of the dead wants more and more people,
    and it opens wide its mouth.
Jerusalem’s important people and common people will go down into it,
    with their happy and noisy ones.

Hell just gets larger and larger because so many end up there.  And those that are there, are begging and pleading that their loved ones listen to the prophets and the pastors and get saved while on earth, and live right so that they don’t end up there. And yet to little or no avail. Just as they didn’t listen, thinking Hell couldn’t happen to them, so is the case for so many here on earth living in sin, thinking it is “living their best life” enjoying “living the dream”. Make no mistake sin is enticing. It looks good and it feels good. It is all a deception.

A great part of my calling is souls.  I am to cry loud and spare not. I have a tremendous burden for souls.  And it is frustrating because most people think they are ok.  “I’m not a bad person” or “I give to the poor and the needy” or “I can’t imagine if God is loving that He would send me to Hell”; I hear it all the time.  And if you knew the scriptures you would know, it is not always commission of sin but also omission that makes it a sin.  In other words, yes there are sins that are committed that keep you from eternal life, but there is also disobedience that will cause you not to enter into Heaven and have eternal life. 

For example, if I were not doing these blog posts, releasing a word as His prophetess, and teaching and preaching His word, praying for souls all day every day, I would be guilty of sin by omission.  I didn’t do what He told me to do.

And you know my confession: “I ain’t going to Hell for nobody…”, I mean that! Listen, keep your money He told you to sow, reject the Word of His servant, lie and destroy mine or anyone’s character (He heard you); commit or omit sin, but rest assured I am not joining you; I am not contending with you, and I am doing anything more than what I am called, gifted, and purposed to do.  And I do it willingly, with joy and gladness.

How you may ask, can I stay focused in the midst of all that? Because I am spiritual as mentioned in Galatians 6:1 and I am tasked to restore you who has been taken or caused to sin. I live in the presence of the Almighty God, and I experience His love, His grace, His mercy, and I am surrounded and clothed in His very nature; I hear His voice and obey.  I do His Will, His way - and you should too. And when you live in such a way, His love overtakes you and you want the world to experience Him.  Therefore, read Galatians 6:1 again, but this time read the entire chapter and in the Amplified Bible translation:

Galatians 6 Amplified Bible

Bear One Another’s Burdens

6 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love]. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something [special] when [in fact] he is nothing [special except in his own eyes], he deceives himself. 4 But each one must carefully scrutinize his own work [examining his actions, attitudes, and behavior], and then he can have the personal satisfaction and inner joy of doing something commendable without comparing himself to another. 5 For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible].

6 The one who is taught the word [of God] is to share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his spiritual and material support]. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. 8 For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. 10 So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers).

11 See with what] large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 Those who want to make a good impression in public [before the Jews] try to compel you to be circumcised, just so they will escape being persecuted for [faithfulness to] the cross of Christ. 13 For even the circumcised [Jews] themselves do not [really] keep the Law, but they want to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh [that is, in the fact that they convinced you to be circumcised]. 14 But far be it from me to boast [in anything or anyone], except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither is circumcision anything [of any importance], nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus]. 16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and conduct their lives by this principle], and upon the [true] Israel of God (Jewish believers).

17 From now on let no one trouble me [by making it necessary for me to justify my authority as an apostle, and the absolute truth of the gospel], for I bear on my body the branding-marks of Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions—these testify to His ownership of me].

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers and sisters. Amen.

The Apostle Paul in his letter (Galatians 6) was exhorting the people who are spiritual to win souls. But to do so in humility, kindness, and meekness. And if you are not spiritual, do not pretend to be spiritual, trying to impress people. I am so tired of those that pretend to be so deep and so spiritual, as if we who are spiritual cannot discern or see the fakeness. Throughout scripture, there are warnings about doing that foolishness. Those of us who are spiritual know that it is nothing to brag about - it is a literal spiritual battle and it is constant, as Apostle Paul goes on to say, we bear the stigma of being lied upon, rejected, and often times humiliated for the sake of the Cross of Christ, and yet we do so with gladness, knowing that our reward is eternal life and we rejoice in that. We bear the burdens of the lost, those that think they are in right standing with the Lord, and yet if they took their last breath today:

Ezekiel 8:18 New King James Version

Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”

The Lord is not human and He does not “feel” the way we feel through emotions, which is why Jesus came in the flesh in a body, because He does understand what it is to be human and have human emotions.

Hebrews 4:15 New King James Version

15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Do not waste, nor spend your life here on earth in sin and not knowing The Lord.  Learn of the scriptures for yourself, or find yourself a true Apostle or a true Prophet and be taught of the Word of Lord and the scriptures.  Make it your resolve today, to do God’s will God’s way.

Hebrews 3:13 New King James Version

13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Don’t wait until tomorrow. Chase your salvation as if your very life depends upon it, because it does!

Peace and Grace and His Mercy be unto you.

In His loving kindness,

Apostle & Prophetess, Wendy Connor

Lighthouses

“I’m a little teapot and short and stout, Here is my is my handle, here is my spout.”

 Remember that cute little song with the corresponding body movements imitating a teapot?

 Well… I’m no teapot for sure, but the other day while pondering some things in my heart, I realized I’m a Lighthouse. I didn’t come up with that title for myself, as I have not come up with any of my titles, Father imparted it into my spirit. And with that impartation came a burst of understanding and revelation.

 You see, a lighthouse is a structure, normally a building, that is tall and serves as a beacon that emits light (strong, bright light) for maritime travelers to assist them in navigating the waterways, seas, and oceans.

 A beacon, if you did not know, is a something that warns, guides, and directs.  But it does so by shining. Standing and shining. It is a bright light that shines to light the darkness. 

1 Corinthians 15:58 New King James Version

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

 As Saints of God (believers; followers of Christ – Christians) this should sound familiar.  It should resonate with us as to who we are in Christ Jesus.

 Luke 1:79 New King James Version

79 To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Lighthouses stand tall and they are built strong. This is to withstand the drastic weather conditions that they are subjected to.  The strong winds, the lightening and thunderstorms, hurricanes, and strong waves that come crashing into them. The very purpose of the lighthouse is to light the darkness, no matter how dark it gets.  And when the conditions are so harsh and blinding to the sailors and the seaman, and they are lost and can’t see their way through, the lighthouse is there standing tall and standing strong in the midst of the storm to direct the lost and the blinded back to safety.

 I don’t know about you, but I am without question, a lighthouse.  I have taken quite a “beating” from those that have gotten caught up in the darkness, and those who are blinded from the truth.  But I continue to stand and be that beacon of light, a light for Christ, shining in the midst of the darkness.  A voice of hope, preaching, proclaiming, and teaching the good news of God’s Holy Word.

I am able to stand, as are you, because of the love of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

 John 8:12 New King James Version

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

   Aside from perhaps a little bit of touch up paint for the lighthouses that may have been painted, lighthouses require little to no maintenance, because they are built to withstand the harsh conditions they will be subjected to.

 Just as we are in Christ Jesus. 

Hebrews 6:19 New King James Version

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

Be encouraged lighthouses, we have been called to be a light shining in a dark place and we have been equipped to do so. We are purposed by design to withstand the evils of this world.

Matthew 5:14-16 New King James Version

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Continue to stand children of the Most High God, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. (Matthew 5:12)

 Stay Blessed,

 Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

We’re Wrapping it Up…To Unwrap it and Get Right Down To It

Magnification and intensification. Going forward, expect things that are to be more magnified and more intensified overall. This is the season of manifestation. Whatever is there will be magnified. This is where the proverbial “rubber meets the road”. Pray for grace and pray for mercy. Both are needed. For some grace, to continue in the things of God and things of the Kingdom of God, for you have been ready and are now prepared for this season. The Conductor says it is time for the train to leave the station and sojourn to that place to which you have been called. He is positioning His people, His Generals, His seasoned Chosen people.

Pray for those that require great mercy. Doors have closed and you will no longer be able to maneuver by way of manipulation and falsification. The cloak has been ripped off and the truth has been exposed. This is not necessarily a dreadful circumstance - on the contrary, it is an opportunity to repent, take up the cross and follow Jesus.

Things will intensify; it will feel like a centripetal force is spinning and extracting the best and the worst. Again, prepare for more of the same; but more magnified (brought into greater focus) and with things becoming and being more intense.

This is where we, God’s people, focus more on the things of God instead of on the things of the world. I have been not only commissioned and anointed with Apostolic authority to pluck up, tear down, and rebuild for the Kingdom; but I am equipped and trained to do the work of the ministry of The Kingdom of our Lord, with signs and wonders following.

We are a healing and deliverance ministry as well as a teaching ministry with an Apostolic and Prophetic anointing. When you no longer see or experience the signs and wonders following me and JITA Ministries, nor do you see the anointing upon us, and the glory of The Lord (the Glow) then question if I (or we) am (are) saved, called of The Lord, and moving in The Gifts of The Holy Spirit; please no longer follow me or this ministry.

Fair?

Herein, lies the reason for such a bold declaration.  The spiritual gifts of and callings of God are not without faithfulness and holiness and reverence to the Most High God.  We don’t live according to the world’s ways, and we certainly don’t live in the fear of man.  

You see Christ said:

Matthew 16:23-24 NKJV But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

When we walk in The Spirit and are led by The Spirit of The Living God, we are not of this world. We are in this world but definitely not of this world. The Bible says we are a peculiar people. We do not think, act, nor live by the ways of the world. We are sanctified (set apart).

1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

As a matter-of-fact, in a more common language let’s look at some specific verses in 1 Peter 2 so as to gain understanding. After all, Father led you here to read these teachings on my JitaPub blog posts for your own understanding and edification.

You are tired of you, and all that you have done and are doing that is outside the will of Father; you want some answers, so that you can be changed! You want to walk in your calling, but you must first come out from among them (the world) and you must learn of His voice to hear His instruction.

So, let’s go through some scriptures:

1 Peter 2:1-9 English Standard Version
A Living Stone and a Holy People
1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” 7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected  has become the cornerstone,”
8 and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

You can always find Apostle Connor among the living, doing the work of the ministry as His servant. I know I am a part of His Royal priesthood, His chosen people proclaiming His excellencies because I was called out of the darkness into the marvelous light! And you are welcome to come along! There is room at His table! Which is why I write these blog posts and share as He instructs me.

Let me show you scripturally for the few that stopped by to read my blogs to gain understanding of some recent events. Seems there is always something Father will have me address on these posts, because He heard you!

If you know JITA Publishing and Ministries and myself, the Founder, I am gifted with a heavy prophetic mantle and most who thought they knew me, do not know this me, for I have efficaciously completed my supernatural breaking, processing, and making of the Prophetic and Apostolic Offices. A rigorous process which exceeded 20 years.  True Apostles and True Prophets go through this process, for there is no other way to receive such heavy mantle and walk in such spiritual authority.

I am called to the living, not the dead. Search the scriptures and see when Jesus, any of the True Apostles, or any of True Prophets dwelled among the dead - natural or spiritually dead. Yes, if there is purpose to be released, messages to be released, or even raising the dead, then yes…otherwise, my work was finished LONG before the dead took their last breath. And just because you heard contrary, those that are a part, know the truth and The Lord, sitting on His Throne of Judgement, knows the truth and His judgment was carried out. How you feel and what you think, is irrelevant. I am human and not without feeling and most assuredly I grieve just as all mankind, including Jesus, does. But that cannot stop nor hinder Kingdom work. I am surrounded by the comfort of Holy Spirit, Jesus’ loving arms, and a plethora of friends, supporters, and co-laborers in The Kingdom.

And while there was gossip, murmuring, and even opinions in the hearts and mouths of those without spiritual understanding, again, in these offices - we are moved by the Will of God and led by His Holy Spirit, not by stumbling stones and rocks of offences. (1 Peter 2:8). Years ago, several of us were shown prophetically and knew to expect what just occurred and more importantly, we knew why it would occur.  Therefore, the questions of how and why this occurred so rapidly, and seemingly without natural cause…it was the result (the fruit, the harvest)  of the very thing the talebearers and gossipers and murmurs are still in a dither about, yet know nothing about, the truth is still yet to be revealed, but soon beloved. Very soon, the truth shall be known and will make many free.

Look at this:

Luke 9:59-62
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Know you not, that I be about My Father’s business?

James 3:14-18
14 But if you have bitter envy and [selfish ambition]self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

If James 3:14-16 is you, I have long forgiven you and the words you spoke (influenced by Satan) that caused such evils of the heart and lies to be spoken concerning me. And most importantly, The Lord forgives you - however, you who did such evils in your heart and through your words, therefore you do have a judgment upon you for touching His anointed with your mouth and doing His Prophet harm (Psalm 105:15, 1 Chronicles 16:22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”) and those seeds are bringing forth an unfavorable harvest.

I implore you Beloveds, as said Jesus:

John 5:14
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”

John 8:11
11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go [from now on]and sin no more.”

Understand? If not, just keep living…you will.

Moving forward, the Bible speaks of eagles, not chickens. Do you know why characteristically chickens don’t earn a spot in the scriptures?

Cluck…cluck…cluck
Chickens…pecking around the grounds making noise (stirring up things).

Cluck…cluck…cluck
They gather in small groups, flocks - if you will- or broods -they are called if they are a group of hens (female chickens). [You know how females- more so than males - not that males don’t gossip, like to run their mouth with unsubstantiated gossip and flat out lies].

And you hear them clucking and pecking, necks going in and out [pride] as they scamper for the bits and pieces and the crumbs. All day everyday. Cluck…cluck…cluck

The adversary is still deceiving mankind. The fear of man instead of the fear of El Elohim (The Lord God our Creator) has caused many to fall short and miss the mark. If you want to serve the Lord as well as have eternal life when you leave this earth, beloved, you are going to have to get delivered of people.  Free from fear of people’s opinions, people’s emotions and attitudes, people’s opinions of you, and fear of people’s control.

Matthew 10:28 New King James Version

28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Luke 12:5

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

The Bible is our instruction manual on how as a creation, our Creator requires us to live.

There are many mandates that are required of us. Most don’t even come close to fulfilling even the simplest of those requirements, because most choose to focus on self, flesh, and pride - and have not learned to control the use of the tongue.

[A quick, true Story: a sister was sharing with me that she visited a “mega church” here in the Atlanta area. She and her party arrived early as parishioners were just starting to pour in and be seated. A gentleman and his family, his wife and their several children, sat quietly in front of her and her party, when an apparently regular attendee came and stood at the aisle and with an air about herself. And her words asked, “excuse me, may I get past you to get that seat”, and pointed to the vacant seat beyond he and his family; to which the gentleman graciously stood up and stepped out of the aisle as did some of his family and replied “oh, yes absolutely”. Now you know the fact that I am mentioning this means this story didn’t end here. The snooty-booty lady said, “you know…um…actually where you are sitting is my seat, I sit there every Sunday…but it’s ok you can sit there” to which the gentleman responded, “well really, The Holy Spirit should be in every seat, sister…” and that response full of wisdom caught her flesh off guard and to her own shame, she decided to head two rows further down].

Now you know what I am going to say if you are acquainted with Apostle Connor: “That right there is why - unless Father sends me as His servant- I don’t do churches.” Too much flesh and self-seeking, self-willed parishioners full of pride and not enough of Holy Spirit. It just isn’t His house based on what takes place in modern-day churches.

I have four new-release books coming out, and one of them explains plainly, based on scriptures, why you will never get what The Lord intended for His people through salvation in modern day churches, unless they are structured according to scripture:

Ephesians 2:19-22

Christ Our Cornerstone

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

As it is in today’s modern-day churches, they are not a house of prayer, nor is there reverence and holiness, and His presence is rarely there. And rarely are the Spiritual gifts, the true Apostles, or the true Prophets welcomed.  If The Spirit of the Living God was there, the spiritual gifts would be in operation, and those spirits of pride would not be comfortable there as well as some of the other spirits (whoredom, murmurers, liars, talebearers, etc.) that are comfortable sitting in what is supposed to be the House of God.

I suppose it is worth noting, the same held true even in Jesus’ days upon the Earth. From the start, there just weren’t ever going to be them or those that love El Elohim enough to live by His instructions.

Jesus’ followers were few while He was living as a man on Earth. They were afraid what the people would say - some even sneaking in the night to hear His teachings, but by day living among the hypocrite Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees. You know, the “fear of man” syndrome.

Most have been influenced by the adversary to the point that deception has overtaken their soul and convinced them into believing it is well and even though ‘they aren’t there yet’ it is ok because The Lord is still ‘working on them’. Don’t believe the deception. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is best to start working harder at living according to the Bible.

I can tell you for certain, I am among the few, mentioned in Matthew 7:14.

So, let me share it yet again:

Matthew 7:13-14

13 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

There is a common myth that if you confess and accept The Lord Jesus Christ, you are saved and going to Heaven when you die. That is not what the Bible says. And many are dying and not going home to be with The Lord, contrary to popular belief. I am called to teach His Truth, to teach the scriptures.

Let me ask you a hypothetical question…as a believer, have you obeyed the charge of winning souls?

According to scriptures, it is not an option.  Even Pastors are not winning souls. An altar call and souls coming to the altar to confess and pray the prayer of salvation is not soul-winning according to the scriptures.

How many souls have you, as a believer, won over to The Kingdom of our Dear Savior Jesus Christ?

How many have you walked with and discipled for weeks, months, and years?

Do you not even realize the scriptures give us mandates, and charges us to:

1. Feed His Sheep - John 21:15-19 15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

2. Be fishers of men - Matthew 4:19 - And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Mark 1:17 - And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men Luke 5:10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”

3. Be living examples - 2 Corinthians 3:2- 3You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart

4. Let our character draw them in - Matthew 5:16 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

We are to win souls. And that is not such an easy task. Getting someone to confess Jesus Christ and believe God raised Him from the dead is not all there is to winning a soul.

If it were so, then the sociopath and the psychopath, the liar, the whoremonger, the cowardly, etc. would all be saved and die and go to Heaven. And we know better. In fact, we know from the scriptures that Hell is enlarging herself to receive more souls because they just keep dying and going there:

Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

I know from personal experience it takes patience, it takes mercy, it takes grace, it takes compassion, it takes knowledge and understanding, and it takes wisdom to win souls.

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.

If you are living by your flesh (that is your own intellect and understanding, your emotions, and your own will) you cannot and will not be a fisher of men or a soul winner because it’s you trying to do it when it should be Spirit to spirit, Holy Spirit leading your spirit.

Beloved, I close with a plea and yet a charge, watch your tongue and guard your heart. For He hears thoughts and conversations and sees hearts and actions.

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

Trust in the Lord and lean not to your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5-6 

5Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Instead of empty resolutions, why not (with purpose and on purpose) secure your salvation by becoming more intimate with our Creator - not as a religious habit but a relationship with your Heavenly Father.

Galatians 5:16-1716 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

BE FAITHFUL IN GOD:

Hebrews 11:6   6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED:

Romans 8:6-8  6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

BE PURPOSEFUL IN THE LORD

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

BE HOPEFUL FOR SPIRITUAL WISDOM

Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, His ways are not our ways His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It’s all about doing God’s will God’s way, always has and always will.

Speaking a joyful, hopeful, fruitful and insightful season to the reader and that your blessings be fruitful and multiplied in His Kingdom and His righteousness

Spiritual Forecast 2022

Hoping you and yours had a purposeful Christmas!

As we wind down 2021, I am hearing the heart of Father, by no means definitely not all that He has to say to His people.

We will enter into 2022 seamlessly with a continuation of what is currently. Completion is not yet. 

Maintain your expectations exercising your faith, for surely the promises of The Lord are coming into manifestation, like a lens being brought into focus, the fine tuning is complete and you will see the prophetic promises come into fruition. 

Restoration, Renewal, and Reciprocity is the order of the day.

That which has been kept secret is still coming forth , the act(s) and actions may remain hidden a little bit longer, but not the judgement.

I am hearing in my spirit: “don’t put away your funeral clothes just yet…” . Both spiritual and natural deaths will occur. Spiritual deaths encompass governments, situations, circumstances, events, and lifestyles. I see continuing overall: great loss, shame, embarrassment, and even humiliation, the truth will be made known. Order is being restored.

1 John 3:20

20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

This is the time to put away childish things and old ways and habits that are not reflective of HIS image and HIS likeness. 

1 Corinthians 13:11

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

It is vital to keep the things of The Lord Holy.

Leviticus 22:32

32 “You shall not profane My holy name [using it to honor an idol, or treating it with irreverence or contempt or as a byword]; but I will be sanctified (set apart as holy) among the Israelites. I am the Lord, who sanctifies and declares you holy,

Those called by His Name, must be mindful that He is always watching and hearing our thoughts, our deeds, our words, and our actions.

Psalm 11:4

The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

Stand strong in the faith, in your faith, your faith in God. Be not moved by what you see or don’t see, nor what you hear or do not hear.

2 Chronicles 20:20

“Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.”

Mark 11:22

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God

In 2022, Pray more and worry less. 

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. 7 And God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Do not allow your tongue to be used as an instrument of unrighteousness, let your words be seasoned with salt. 

Colossians 4:5-7

5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
In this season, seek His face.
1 Chronicles 16:10-11

10 Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
11 Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!

Father’s Blessings be Upon you…In His Service,

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Do you hear what I hear? Listen to the sounds of the spirit realm. The thunder as it claps. Yes, a storm is brewing. A storm is coming. A spiritual storm. There is shelter for those who have been obedient. Those that are and have been in His will. Take shelter for it is upon us. There is still more to come, more deaths , more exposure, more sickness, and more famine. For them, there is no hiding place…not a crack nor a crevice that can hide you from The judgement of The Lord God Almighty!

Hush…shhhh. Listen to His sweet still voice. It is low. Your discernment will hear it ; your discernment will hear Him saying “this is the way walk ye in it“   Yet again, 

Hebrews 12:25-27  

Hear the Heavenly Voice

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 

26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”

 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

In the Book of 1 Kings 22 there is the story of one of my favorite prophets - his name is Micaiah. Not to be confused with Micah the prophet. Micaiah was a TRUE prophet, speaking only that which The Lord showed him or spoke to him. And for that reason he was disliked. Particularly by the King of Israel at the time, Ahab. 

King Ahab sought the assistance of the King of Judah, Jehoshaphat to go up against the King of Syria and Jehoshaphat agreed with one stipulation, that being that they inquire of the prophets about whether or not to go into this battle.

Note, in the biblical days it was common practice for kings to consult prophets of The Lord as to whether or not to go into battle. 

If only today’s leaders would do that, instead of outlawing The Living God from being in our affairs!

And this time was no different, so the two kings sat on thrones before the prophets and all 400 of them said “go up and fight”.  Jehoshaphat said is there not any more prophets that we can inquire of? Ahab said there is one more prophet that isn’t here and we need to inquire of him.  That prophet is Micaiah. Than Ahab said , “ I hate him because he does not prophecy good concerning me, but evil.”  

As the story went on prophet Micaiah:

1 Kings 22:9-28

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!”

10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 

11 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ” 

12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand.”

13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.”

14 And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.”

15 Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?”

And he answered him, “Go and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king!”

16 So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”

17 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ ”

18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”

19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left. 

20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 

21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ 

22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’ 

23 Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”

24 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit from the Lord go from me to speak to you?”

25 And Micaiah said, “Indeed, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!”

26 So the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son;

 27 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.” ’ ”

28 But Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Take heed, all you people!”

The story continues in the next chapter with Ahab being killed in battle even though he went to battle incognito, meaning he was disguised and as his destiny would have it, after the battle a certain man shot a random arrow and the arrow landed between the  joints of Ahab’s armour! And of course Ahab died and as was prophesied in chapter 21, the dogs did lick up his blood in the city. 

Whether you like the Word of His TRUE prophet or not take heed as if your very life depends on it, because it does!

Beloved, do not continue in your way as business as usual, yet for a little while this shaking will take place, come out from among them if you are one to escape, and serve The Lord with gladness!!!

In His Service,

Read The Instructions of This Gift…Because if you do, It is the Gift that Keeps on Giving!

It’s Christmas time.  The season of gift giving.  From Secret Santa gift-giving, to family time and friends gift-giving, to remembering “those less fortunate” gift-giving.  Gift-giving everywhere with everyone giving a gift or receiving a gift, because it is the mass of Christ.

 Mass, being the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.  The Holy Eucharist being defined as “the giving of thanks; thanksgiving.”[1] We give gifts or exchange gifts during the Christmas season, whether we realize it or not, because Christ was born, gifted to mankind by Elohim (Lord God the Creator) to give us the opportunity to have eternal life if we so choose. And we are thankful for His sacrifice. At least we should be.

 John 3:16 New King James Version

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.

The Scriptures give a beautiful illustration of the birth of Christ.   Have you read it? If it was truly understood what Jesus Christ coming to the earth meant, there would be so much more reverence and holiness throughout the earth. Its not something so many would “toy” with.

 Take a look at His coming and His arrival:

 Luke 2:4-17 New King James Version

4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Glory in the Highest

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”

16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.

17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.

18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

First and foremost, prior to Jesus’ birth, an angel(s) of The Lord, came from on High (Heaven) and visited some shepherds that were shepherding their sheep, to announce the birth of Jesus Christ and what His birth predestined. The angels’ arrival and announcement was to elucidate that this was not just another birth, and it certainly was no ordinary birth.  This birth represented something so great, that it must be announced from Heaven, Who this baby is and what He came to accomplish. This was good news! This angel brought good tidings (good reports and good words) to all of mankind, all of God’s creation! This was news that was to bring great joy!

 Hallelujah! Glory to God in the Highest! Its exciting to read and write about that scripture!

 If you can’t get excited about that when you read it, let me tell you a secret…you either have lost your precious faith, or you never had it in the first place.  You have religion and religion is not relationship! There is nothing fun nor exciting about religion. Religion is just a bunch of formalities, traditions, and rituals, that are so rigid, all one can do is break them!

Go all the way back to the beginning of my blogs and read, you will quickly realize in reading JITA Publishing and Ministries blogs or published literature, you are learning things you never knew because you have religion, instead of having relationship…and without relationship, you have no revelation of Who He is and no revelation of The Word (the scriptures)!

 Therefore, it is sad; a tragedy no doubt, that you can’t get excited about the scriptures.  Your only hope is that you can fake it until you make it, but you will never make it without accepting this gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12 New King James Version

12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

You need to be baptized in The Holy Spirit; so the scriptures can come alive in your spirit.

There is a danger in not knowing The One True Living God through Jesus Christ.  Jesus said it to the Jewish people and to those who don’t believe in Him as The Messiah. And He said it more than once.  He preached it while on earth and some were just never able to understand it enough to believe, just as some still don’t understand nor believe it today. 

John 8:21 New King James Version

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

John 8:21 The Message

21 Then he went over the same ground again. “I’m leaving and you are going to look for me, but you’re missing God in this and are headed for a dead end. There is no way you can come with me.”

John 8:21 Amplified Bible

21 Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, and you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

  There are so many, so very many - that believe they have received His free gift of salvation and they have not.

 The scriptures call it having a form of Godliness, in other words, saying the religious words, and even “acting” religious, but really not being baptized in Holy Spirit (Third Person of the Godhead).  Consequently, having no power, nor active gifts of Holy Spirit of Who God is and What Jesus represents, is not real in your heart and definitely not real in your actions! You do not move in the Power and Authority of Jesus that He prayed be transferred to us in John 17.

 You see, what is in our hearts, is what comes out of our mouths and displayed in our actions. 

Luke 6:45 New King James Version

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

 You can say “Lord, Lord”, pray over your food, and even attend church.  But

are you holding unforgiveness in your heart?

Are you bitter?

Are you unable to let the past go and move on?

Are your conversations gossip (that is speaking on the business of others that does not concern you and further you don’t even know if it is true, because you only “heard” about it)?

Do you set aside time daily to spend in prayer (conversation with The Lord) to pray for others and pray for yourself and not just when you want or need something from Him? How is your marriage? Where are the majority of your thoughts and your time spent? 

 These questions are tools that help determine if you have a form of godliness but deny His power.  Because in your answers, if you are truthful, are the indicators of your carnality, that is, you still live in, through, and by your flesh (emotions) and not by your spirit which was created in His image and in His likeness.

Beloved, the gift of Christ is the greatest give of all!

Ephesians 2:8-9 New King James Version

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9 New Century Version

8 I mean that you have been saved by grace through believing. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. 9 It was not the result of your own efforts, so you cannot brag about it.

Ephesians 2:8-9 Names of God Bible

8 God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. 9 It’s not the result of anything you’ve done, so no one can brag about it.

If you are truly serious about your salvation and can get the revelation of what salvation is and what it means for you, it is the gift you cannot help but desire to share. Along with your material gifts, you give the spiritual gift of salvation by sharing The Good News of the scriptures that came through Christ Jesus . And because it is the gift that keeps on giving; you would not wait until Christmas time to talk about the birth of Jesus and what it means for us, you would share it by way of sharing the scriptures as we have been mandated by Jesus Christ to do.

 John 21:15-17 New King James Version

15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”

He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”

16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”

He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”

17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

Can you feed Jesus’ sheep? Do you know the “food” they must eat to survive? Because if you don’t know, you surely can’t feed it to them! And without it, both you and the sheep will die.  The “fake” (false doctrine and false teachings) food fed to His sheep will only pass for so long.

The food I am speaking of is The Word of God!

I was reminded just this past Sunday how many pastors and Christian Celebrities don’t know the correct food either!  And yet hundreds of thousands of people are following them, believing “they must have the correct food to feed us because so many are following them!”

 Let me say it again, because your salvation is so important to me, I love souls and I do not wish that anyone miss having eternal life, after all, the gift of eternal life is free, Jesus paid for it, in full, with His blood. 

Matthew 7:14 New King James Version

14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

 But if you do not know the path to righteousness (The Word of God) then you will not know how to live it and therefore you are most likely still living a life of sin against God without receiving the gift of grace through salvation for your sins. 

Psalm 119:11 New King James Version

11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. 

Don’t assume Heaven, eternal life, is an automatic if you are a “good” person, or say all the “right” religious lingo, or you attend church regularly; nothing could be further from the truth, that is the reason there are few who find it.

 Read the instructional guidelines (The Bible) that come with the gift of salvation, and you will see and understand for yourself why you must study The Word, the scriptures are hidden for us in a language that Holy Spirt interprets for us through revelation knowledge into our spirit for understanding. And those instructions plainly tell us that His will for us is that we study it for ourselves and gain understanding through personal relationship with Him.

 To share, with understanding, that the Good News of the Gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ is a blessed gift. And in doing so, it is also an act of worshipping God. 

Remember The Wise Men of the scriptures? The ones that are depicted as three in number, when in actuality the scriptures don’t indicate how many there were. We know from the scriptures that they brought the three types gifts of that time that were presented to kings as the main standard gifts proper to give a king.

The Magi brought to Jesus the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh?

(The Magi were the Greek Word Magos[2] /mag'-os/ which means wise men, teachers, priests, physicians, astrologers, seers, interpreters of dreams, augers, soothsayers, sorcerers etc. the oriental wise men (astrologers) who, having discovered by the rising of a remarkable star that the Messiah had just been born, came to Jerusalem to worship him.)

 They were those that were anointed in “seeing” the prophetic (future things to come).  They were not into horoscopes, they followed astronomy, not astrology as we know it today; they knew The Lord would give them a sign to let them know of things to come, that is to say, upcoming events.  They would know because they were told, “look for this star…or when the moon does this…, etc.” but as with anything The Adversary has come along and tried to copy and pervert the acts of the Most High God; thus, you have those who  follow horoscopes, read crystals, burn sage, worship the moon, and pray to Sun Gods and Sun Goddesses’ and practice other false religions that are not Christianity nor of our Saviour Christ Jesus, but these “religions” are born into existence out of misunderstood and misinterpreted Christian foundational teachings. (That is another teaching altogether)

 Nonetheless, The Magi or Wise Men, knew that when the star in the east shone, it was a sign that The Messiah, The King had been born.

Matthew 2:1-2 New King James Version

2 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.”

 And they wanted to see Him and worship Him.  How so? They worshipped Him with Gifts! The very finest of gifts, for they recognized Who this baby is, He is The King that came to seek and save the lost! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to God in the Highest! I feel the anointing! His warmth, the comfort and joy of His love! Yes, I feel it!

Matthew 2:11 New King James Version

11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

 Giving from the heart is an act of worship, not to the receiver, but to The Lord.  And as a result, it is far more blessed to give then to receive.  Because  

Galatians 6:7 New King James Version

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

 if you worship the Lord in your giving, you will reap the rewards of His Kingdom.

 This Christmas when you give a gift, remember you have already received the greatest Gift of all gifts, and it is yours for the taking, once you accept Him and understand the guidelines of the gift, it is The Gift that keeps on giving all the way to eternal life in Heaven!

 Blessed Christmas!!!

In His Service and In His (Christ Jesus) Love,

Apostle and Prophetess Wendy Connor

O’ Holy Night…O’ Holy Life!

O holy night the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new glorious morn

Ponder those words, the lyrics to a favored Christmas song. But should it be a song for the Christmas season only?  It is such a beautiful song, the lyrics are so heartfelt. A beautiful expression of worship to the King Messiah that came solely to die to save the world from sin and reconcile mankind back to The Lord. 

Perhaps that is why it is still a weary world. So much of JESUS Christ has been removed from our world. Yes, as the song lyrics say “a weary world rejoices”, that is those of us who really on purpose, make every effort to live a life pleasing to The Lord God, according to the Scriptures. We rejoice!

His Deity, His purpose, His love for us, and His peace on Earth, didn’t change, mankind did!

Once I learned of Him and what salvation is, you know my story - it doesn’t change, I jumped in with both feet and never looked back! And for me, and my household, Christmas - celebrating Jesus with our lives- is every day, not just December 25.

It is heartbreaking to me and very frightening, that Jesus, the mere mention of His name, is frowned upon in schools, in the workplace, and prayer is all but an offense punishable with the threat of litigation (lawsuit). And yet, how many school lockdowns have there been due to weapons found in backpacks and how many school shootings have occurred here in the United States in the past month? We don’t have to even look over the past month, how many over the past week? This country is foolish to have taken Jesus away from the children…our children! Especially where He is needed most…in the classroom! My husband and I taught ours to know Him for themselves and how important it is to pray. Therefore, they pray and cover themselves at all times, not just over meals. And of course we are praying for them and with them as well.

14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14

This country had better let the children (schools) come to Jesus! There is so much power in His name! 

Philippians 2:10-12 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The rejoicing of Jesus Christ's gift to the world has been forgotten. Put away every year till next Christmas or next Easter, like the elf of the shelf and all the rest of the Christmas decorations and/or Easter baskets. 

The weary world rejoices…we have hope because we can hope not only in eternal life with Jesus, but also we get to have a full, rich, and abundant life here on Earth! Hallelujah!

John 10:10b- …I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Do you know what I know? That Jesus came to set the captive free? “What does that mean Apostle Connor, because that is easy for you to say, you don’t ever have a bad or sad day?…”, you ask.  And to that, I say, “that is not quite accurate, in some instances it’s quite the contrary…”. I have learned humility, and most importantly to pray and cry out to My Heavenly Father. I have not-so-great days, bad days, as one might call them, they just don’t have me! And because they don’t have me, no one ever knows if my days are less than favorable because I don’t “wear” my challenges for the world to see and bear the brunt of my anger, frustration, sadness, sorrow, etc. And I certainly don’t gossip and tell everyone my side to any challenges I may be faced with, that is where my level of faith is. I trust in the Lord with all my heart!

Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and He had some pretty challenging days while on Earth. And yet it did not cause Him to lose focus of His purpose. You should really think about that. His adversity did not deter Him, and it could have - He faced many tough challenges. For example, like when He had just fasted for 40 days and was hungry:

Matthew 4:2-11 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

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

5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

That had to be rough for our Lord. He was tired, hungry, and probably a bit nauseous from weakness and lack of food.  And yet here comes Satan to tempt Him and try to get on His nerves. 

Or how about the time when Jesus’ best friend Lazarus died and Jesus knowing He was going to raise Him from the dead, was over come with emotion and cried! He wept! While the gossipers and talebearers did what they always do, talk about Him and judge Him not understanding there was wisdom and purpose why He was what they deemed as late or after the fact.

John 11:35-37 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

37 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”

And probably, what one would think to be the worst day of His life here on earth, turned out to be the absolute best day for not only Jesus, all of Heaven, and most assuredly mankind, that is you and I!!! That is those last six hours on earth hanging nailed to the cross: 

Psalm 22:15 15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

 As He hung on The Cross, His mouth was so dry that his tongue clung to his jaws!

Matthew 27:50 - 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

I can’t even write this without tearing up. If you truly understand what Jesus Christ did for us, you too should be weeping tears of joy and gratitude! But the truth is, not everyone has the revelation of what the Crucifixion means for mankind and that is why so few make it into Heaven and have eternal life. (You know the scriptures, I share them constantly!)

The shame He endured being publicly whipped and spat upon! And He was not tied with ropes, but spikes pounded into His flesh to secure Him to The Cross.  Oh my gosh…My dear Lord! He did that for me…you as well!

And He did this while we were still sinners, while we still wallow in our mess, He said, “I am come to reconcile you to My Father, YOUR Creator!” It’s not required that you forsake all and follow Me, but if you do, life as you knew it, gets a whole lot better because I have granted you spiritual gifts to use as spiritual weapons against the adversary, gifts to edify yourself and others, and I have given you hope of eternal life. 

Oh, what a friend WE have in Jesus!

O Holy Night when Christ was born!

O Holy Life when we were born again because of Christ!

Live this Christmas and every one that follows, from this day forward, as more than a day and a season - live it as your lifestyle! Live it with the Blessed Assurance of who you are in Christ Jesus!

That baby came into this world to defeat Satan and give us an opportunity for salvation and eternal life in Heaven with our Heavenly Father!

Merry Christmas!

From my family to yours and from my heart to yours.

The Devil You Do Know

Would you let a stranger in your home? Of course not! Why you would you invite someone into your home that you do not know? It makes no sense.  In fact, for many of us, we wouldn’t invite some that we do know in our home!  Some people, are better left outside of your four walls for so many reasons.

So, why does it come as a surprise when Jesus is going to say to you, “depart from me, you workers of iniquity, for I never knew you!”

 Matthew 7:21-23 New King James Version

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

 You wouldn’t let someone in your home that you don’t know and never knew. Same holds true with The Lord and His Heaven.  You are a stranger to Him.

Just because you attended church, said the religious buzz words, and was even on occasion nice, is not even close to the scriptural instructions on maintaining your salvation.  And as a result, you will not be let into His House, you are a stranger.

And yet for many, they think they are saved.  And nothing could be further from the truth. How do I know? Because the scriptures tell us such, and if you have sat in any of our assemblies, read any of my blogs, or read any of my books, this is not new information to you and you are well versed in the fact that once saved, always saved is a fallacy that is why so many will perish in Hell. 

 Let’s go over it yet again: I am a didactic prophet.  That is to say that some prophets sing prophetically, some evangelize prophetically, we have many categories in which our prophetic mantle is displayed. Mine is didactic, not limited to, but mainly through a scribal anointing.  That is to say through explicit, and in-depth teaching I explain in a simplistic written manner the Bible, what was otherwise difficult to understand. 

I am not an apologist and I am not dogmatic, I am a servant of The Lord, walking in her calling.  And as such, I am a lover of souls.  To my sadness, I watch daily, as “saved” people are lost and dying and don’t even realize it.

 I have decided that what is not going to happen is that my name will be called out in Hell, (because trust that I will not be there) by souls saying “but Wendy knew…she knew…why didn’t she tell me, or why didn’t she try harder to win my soul, to stop me from the bad choices I was making?!”

That is reason alone, but not the only reason, why I take my gift and calling seriously. You will be without excuse if you choose to pawn your salvation to your flesh. It certainly hasn’t been that I have not done all that I could do to share, teach, and preach the good news of Jesus Christ and the scriptures. But no one should have to make you or force you.  Father gives you a choice. Even He will not make you.

I can tell you it is exhausting going over the same foolishness with people because they can’t grow in The Word and  mature spiritually.  And wanting me to pray and minister deliverance for the same vices that trip you up. Many, and I do mean many, of you are not willing to obey the scriptures.  For example,

 Luke 14:25-27 New Century Version

The Cost of Being Jesus’ Follower

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—or even life—more than me, he cannot be my follower. 27 Whoever is not willing to carry his cross and follow me cannot be my follower.

The Scriptures did not say you had to leave your family, just be willing if your calling conflicts with your relationship with them. Many followed and traveled with Jesus while He was here on Earth, but in show only. They were not willing to sacrifice nor forsake all to be a true follower. It was for appearances only. As many reading this are doing today.

 Can you even subjugate your flesh to stop running your mouth for the work of evil? What about you open your ears and your spirit to anything.  Somebody comes with gossip and/or a lie about someone, and you are ready to receive it as truth.  Both of you have what the Bible calls a talebearing spirit.  You for listening and the speaker for speaking it. I know several people who had this problem of gossiping and speaking business that was not theirs to speak, and always gendering strife, and before they left this earth, they were stricken with something that left them unable to speak. Their last days were spent unable to use their mouths as an instrument of unrighteousness. And by comparison to Hell, that was a small price to pay. 

Proverbs 11:13 English Standard Version

13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,
    but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.

 You want to hear the gossip and the lies, never mind whether it is true or not, and you are quick to spread it. And sadly, for you, you do not walk in the gift of discernment, so you are just as guilty as the one that spoke it.  Rest assured your reaping that talebearing seed is a small price to pay as it relates to it ensuring you are sowing into your eternal death. (Hell) You won’t be in Father’s House (Heaven) having that as your fruit on Earth.  Beloved, talebearing is not fruit of The Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-25 English Standard Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Let’s keep going and see if at the end of this blog if it’s the devil you know, not the Living God you know and have a relationship with.

 Another example of spiritual immaturity is those that profess to be “saved” and still struggle with tithing.  Saying, they cannot afford it.  Trust me, you cannot afford to not tithe and give offerings.

 Question your salvation if you struggle in this area and understand that if you do you most likely will not see eternal life. And your existence here on Earth will be a struggle.  You can’t pray to the God you serve to move on your behalf and you are robbing Him!  Read Malachi 3 again, and this time pay close attention to verses 16-18. It will be remembered in Heaven if you robbed God.

I didn’t make the rules, just the messenger.  Beloved, I tithe! For me to do otherwise would make me a God-Robber and among other things a hypocrite.  And no, I do not tithe to this ministry.

 As a believer, or to be a saint of God, something so simple as tithing should not trip you up.  Remember, there are blessings for you on this Earth if you do tithe, and if you don’t tithe you are cursed with a curse is what the scriptures tell us:

  Malachi 3:6-18 English Standard Version

Robbing God

6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

 8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions.

 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 

10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

 11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts.

 12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

13 “Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’

 14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts?

 15 And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape.’”

 The Book of Remembrance

16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name.

  17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.

  18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.

 And to be clear tithe is a tenth of any funds you come into (income). Please grow up spiritually and stop believing and saying you tithe your time or your prayers.  If you read and understood the scriptures, you would understand Father mandated the Tribe of Levi (The Levites in the Book of Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua) to be the priests, and therefore, they didn’t receive any land to raise livestock and cultivate crops to sell.  Their income came from the tithes which were required by The Lord (YAHWEH).

Tithe where The Spirit of God is moving in YOUR life, it does not have to be this ministry.  Believe me when I tell you, you are not and never will be my - or any member of JITA Ministries - source.  If you sow into this ministry or into me as the Apostle and Prophetess, I thank you for your obedience and being a resource.  But most likely you have fed and ate really good off this gift and this ministry, and what you learned is more valuable than all the money on this planet:

1 Corinthians 9:11 English Standard Version

11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

 Because your soul is my motivation.  Not your money, not controlling you, not growing followers.  Teaching you the scriptures to equip you to be prepared when Jesus cracks that Eastern Sky open and comes for His Bride.  Many of you should be eternally thankful and grateful that has not yet happened, for surely you would be left behind to contend with the devil you do know and know very well.  Your fruit says you are living for him.

I move under an apostolic mantle, that is to say spiritual authority and power of The Holy Spirit to tear down strongholds, and set the captives free.  And I am not self -anointed nor self-ordained – these are real lives and souls that belong to The Lord, so woe unto those that play with these gifts and callings and pretend to be anointed of The Lord when they are not.  There is a hefty price to be paid for doing such:

 Jeremiah 10:21 New King James Version

21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be scattered.

 Jeremiah 12:10 New King James Version

10 “Many rulers [shepherds or pastors] have destroyed My vineyard,
They have trodden My portion underfoot;
They have made My [desired portion of land] pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

 If the scriptures tell us such, why would you leave your salvation to that of a pastor that isn’t even called to pastor and those that are, do not understand that their job description far exceeds what the pastors of today are doing, and their calling scripturally doesn’t even call for them to stand up every Wednesday and Saturday or Sunday to teach the scriptures. They are supposed to so shepherd and guide you. How do they know what Father (The Lord) wants to speak to you?  He desires a personal relationship with His people.  You are not a Pastor’s people. You had better find a true Apostle or a true Prophet to listen to and follow as they follow Christ.

 Luke 11:49 New King James Version

49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’

 You see The Church, that is The Body of Christ is not a building, it is not four walls. It is His people (Saints the scriptures call us – you may call us Christians, but the correct scriptural term is Saints):

 Romans 1:7 New King James Version

7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 1 Corinthians 14:33 New King James Version

33 For God is not the author of [disorder]confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Revelation 8:3 New King James Version

3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

 Revelation 14:12 New King James Version

12 Here is the [steadfastness, perseverance] patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

 Ponder this message in your heart Saints.  Recommit your life to The Lord if you need to.  Read some of the previously posted blogs – they are free, costing you nothing but your time  - and gain an understanding of the scriptures.  Know your salvation and what it means to be saved. Eternity is forever, and that is a very long time to have gotten it wrong for this short time here on Earth.

 I tell you what, every Sunday or Wednesday when churches often meet, go to www.jitapub.org and read at least one blog, and go to the contact us page and pray the prayer of salvation if you need to. And if you are getting fed spiritually, please go to our donate page and sow your tithe or offering into this ministry.  Unless Father tells me otherwise, you won’t hear from me much about tithes and offering, I walk in this calling out of obedience to my Heavenly Father, not to try to get rich off of His people. Trust me, I work hard for the Work of the ministry, and if I have ever prayed for you, your loved ones, someone you know; or if you have ever been in one of our assemblies and been taught, or received deliverance than I don’t have to tell you - you already know.

 However, my obedience may very well be what is saving you from the devil you do know eternally.

 In His service, grace and peace be unto you.

So…You Think You Understand Faith?

Without faith, it is impossible to please God!  That hits on so many levels- it alone can be that narrow path that few find. It alone is not, but it certainly can be, because it is so very important and so very vital!

Hebrew’s 11:6

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.

In other words, we must first believe in His very existence. Next, we must trust Him. We must trust:

1. That He exists,

2. That is He is omnipresent (everywhere ALWAYS)

3. That He is omniscient (ALL knowing in Everything)

4. That He is omnipotent (ALL authority and ALL power)

That sounds easy enough, correct? Especially to say yes, you believe those things. But do you really?

So let’s break it down in a more simplistic form.

Keeping in mind:

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.

The Word of God is the Living Word.  In fact, Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. In other Words, Jesus is God’s Holy Word, put into a body, literally. Did you know that? Most don’t.  

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus became flesh and dwelled among mankind. Full of grace and truth. Let me explain what that means. 

Despite human belief, El Elohim (God, Yahweh, El Shaddai, et al.) The God we serve, who is The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Jesus being His only begotten son; just to be clear The Only Living God is Whom I speak of, and He is NOT human and therefore has no human feelings. And we cannot make Him human. Search the scriptures. Jesus, came and lived among mankind in an earth suit FULL of grace and truth. Jesus can, and does, feel what we feel and how we feel. Because Jesus became human on Earth.

Hebrews 4:15

For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.

And it is for this reason, not the sole reason though, that Jesus makes intercession , ( that is He - Jesus interposes or makes pleas) to The Father on our behalf. Without such, we were all destined and bound for Hell without any other options.

I don’t know about you, but I am thankful for Jesus sacrifice with this life that I call mine, but clearly isn’t mine, because it was purchased with a price. Therefore, my life as well as yours, belongs to the purchaser Jesus Christ

Acts 20:28

Take care and be on guard for yourselves and for the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd (tend, feed, guide) the church of God which He bought with His own blood.

All of our lives were purchased with The Blood of Jesus Christ. Your believing in or not believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God is irrelevant because Romans 3:3 says: What then? If some did not believe or were unfaithful [to God], their lack of belief will not nullify and make invalid the faithfulness of God and His word, will it?]

And so again, our lives are not our own, but we get to choose if we want to follow the path to righteousness because it is very narrow. And few find it. 

Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

So many reasons that few find the narrow path that leads to eternal life- Heaven if you will. And yet it is so easy, just do God’s will God’s way. 

But mankind has a wicked heart and chooses the way to eternal death Sheol (Hell) over and over again, just by the way mankind chooses to live.

Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

Lack of faith contributes to that way of eternal death as well.

So let’s look at something specific:

Money is another faith-killer. Because money is a spirit. It the spirit of Mammon. And Mammon is a demonic spirit (personality without a body). And I don’t have to tell you the darkness that surrounds Mammon.

Mammon is not a spirit of The Living God. How do I know? Well, it’s fruit is a clear indicator. The fruit of Mammon is greed, jealousy, envy, pride, murder, deception, etc.

Therefore, the love of Mammon (the spirit of money) is the origin and the essential start of evil. 

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

And yet the fruit of The Spirit of The One True Living God is:

Galatians 5:22-23 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

So scripturally speaking it is safe to say money is often a faith killer. Not that one cannot have money and truly serve God, but it is difficult. 

Look what Jesus said concerning those that have wealth:

Matthew 19:24 

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

The eye of of a needle metaphorically speaks of a narrow gate in biblical times in which for camel riders to pass through, they would have to completely unload all of their sacks from the camel so that the camel could squeeze through. It is so narrow it likened to the eye of a needle to be threaded. And those that rode /owned camels usually had wealth. But to pass through that narrow gate, they had to unload their possessions which represented wealth. They could not pass through the narrow gate with their wealth. Do you see that? What a profound parable!

That’s pretty narrow. And it is difficult for those that are wealthy because they tend to use their money to get what they want, be it material things or to control people and situations. 

This more often than not conflicts with the Will of God and His plans and purposes not only for them (the wealthy) but for the lives of people they tend to influence with their wealth.

Matthew 6:24 

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Years ago, when I was newly saved and coming into my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and coming into understanding of the scriptures I heard the Spirit of The Living God ask me: “Daughter, what is better than money?” To which I instantly responded, “faith?“ it was so automatic, I wasn’t even sure how I knew to respond with that answer - it was definitely the unctioning  of Holy Spirit - and I heard Him say, “correct and from this day forward that is how you are going to live.”

And that is how I have lived for almost 30 years and it has been purposely.  To get to this level of faith, it takes not being afraid to totally trust in The Lord. Most can’t do that total trust in the Lord thing for fear that He may not do what you are believing Him to do. (By the way, I type this blog from my new computer because the need was met! A brand new computer gifted to me. Hallelujah! To GOD be ALL the Glory, honor, and praise!) See how that works? You can’t have faith in God because there is still too much of you and your pride in the way.

But there is so much to say to that right there, so to stay on track we won’t go any further with that. The understanding is explained in several of my books.

Let me just say this, the scriptural definition of faith is not defined as ‘to believe’ and yet that is what it is taught to be over and over and over again; when in actuality, the definition is hidden in plain sight in the scriptures and if you studied the scriptures or even were taught by those of us who are anointed in the five-fold gift of teaching, you would understand faith. And more importantly, you need inspiration of Holy Spirit to understand the scriptures. (Question: how do you expect to make it into Heaven and have eternal life when you don’t even know (acquainted with) His Word [Jesus]?)

Sadly, The Church has consistently gotten it wrong and to the world (non-believers) the church appears to be  flaky , simpletons, and just plain stupid because they have been taught it as: just have faith - just believe. So people have stopped taking vital medications, made life-changing poor decisions, and completely failed at faith. Beloved, doctors are of God and many are saved and Spirit-filled; go to a doctor if you need to, take the prescribed meds, and learn what faith is scripturally and stop listening to the “pastors” that are telling you to otherwise. Listen to Holy Spirit speaking to your heart!

My books are soon to hit the marketplace, please - for your own understanding invest in a set so that in all your getting , you finally get scriptural understanding. Read my books, they are scriptural and prophetic, as Father has given me inspiration under His scribal anointing to write to teach, train, and equip His people.

I am not going to put it all in my blogs, if it is worth your salvation you will make the investment. When it comes to the Kingdom of God, everyone wants it free with no investment of time, effort, and especially money. Most have no problem calling, texting, or emailing me to pray for them. But they will invest in material things. Beloved, that doesn’t require prayer, that requires discipline and humility and having your priorities in place.

May your understanding be increased concerning faith and The Holy Word of God

In Christ Jesus Love and His Service,

Freely Given Is Not The Same As To Receive Free - The Gift of Jesus is Not Free

I sat down this evening to share from the heart of Father and I must say, rarely does He come in such a way that leaves me humbled and yet moved by His love for me.  Not that I take His love towards me for granted, just that I love teaching and sharing with you , which by the way, brings me such great joy to do so! 

This is what I am called to do and I love planting the Word into fertile soil - that is a heart ready to receive The Truth of God’s Holy Word!

1 Corinthians 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

He has given me much to share with you, but all is not for now; some is but for an appointed time. The ultimate goal is to secure your calling into Heaven. Hopefully by now you know and understand that eternal life, though Jesus died for us, is not an automatic. In fact, according to scripture, few…let me say that again FEW there be that find the path and have eternal life in Heaven. Part of the reason is religion has misled people, especially churchgoers into believing good deeds and faithful church attendance gets you in. It does not. 

And never ever should any of us say someone is in Heaven or Hell, unless The Lord tells us so. We cannot know the heart of man and his deeds so much so that we can assume one way or the other after one dies and leaves this Earth. 

Just because one was a faithful churchgoer does not mean that they will have eternal life. Only a handful of souls has Father ever shared with me as His prophetess where they are now, having died in this life. 

Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

We are not to assume the sovereignty of God and judge where our loved ones spend eternity. 

Satan and his followers sit in the pews all the time. The evidence being when you have sin in the camp. Parishioners in adultery, homosexuality, pornography, every evil work. And Pastors even worse in adultery, fornication, lying, and all manner of evil in secret. And the parishioners doing the same because that spirit is at the head of the assembly and trickles down. 

And reprehensible is the fact everyone sitting in the church is gossiping about it, but no one taking spiritual authority to cast it out and reverence the Holiness of the Lord!  And you think you will have eternal life? 

Let’s look to scripture and see what you haven’t seen because you have not been taught such in the church. 

The Scribes and Pharisees are the pastors and priests of today. Look at the seven warnings Jesus spoke concerning them, keeping in mind this is Jesus speaking:

Matthew 23

Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell[as yourselves.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness.28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town,35 so that on you may come all the righteous bloodshed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Verse 34, Jesus was clear, He sent the prophets, the wise men, and the scribes (those whom Lord speaks to and they write what He says - like me, I am a scribe) because the pastors and the priests are going to Hell (v. 33). 

Do you hear pastors teaching that? 

Of course not, most pastors and priests are not familiar with that scripture and those that are, aren’t going to teach it for fear of losing members, and tithes and offerings.

Meanwhile,  we the Prophets and Apostles that walk with The  Lord and hear Him clearly, are taken for granted even though we work the hardest in The Kingdom going after souls, praying prayers of deliverance, speaking prophecies, interpreting dreams, ministering, counseling, laying hands on the sick and they are healed, etc. And we don’t do it from a pulpit nor an altar- we do it from the mission fields where it is needed most. We do as Jesus did. 

The Apostle Paul went about ministering and barely had food. He lived by faith just as the rest of us The Lord’s servants do. 

The Apostle Paul relied heavily on alms and the kindness of those who knew to bless him. 

He walked in so much anointing people brought cloths to rub on him to carry his power back to their towns to heal the sick.  He is busy doing Kingdom work, too busy to stop and remind them He has to eat also and this is what he is called to do full time!

Look at Elijah, one of the major prophets. Elijah needed food he was hungry and happened upon a widow. She too had lack, but she stood to be blessed by the prophet for meeting the need of the prophet. Not the pastor nor the pastor’s wife, the prophet. 

Elijah and the Widow at Zarephath

7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”

12 “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”

13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’”

15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

And why you may ask? Because the scriptures tell us in Matthew 10:41:

41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

From this day forward, do not sow into my ministry, sow into me as a prophet. Therein lies your blessing. 

It is fine if you want to do nice things for your church and your pastor and your pastor’s wife, but scripturally you move The Hand of  God and The Heart of God when you give your best to His servants. 

I have to pause to say I had no idea Father was going in this direction, but I hear Him. 

My computer died after 13 years - and it is how I minister to the masses with publishing, emails, blog posts, and my books - and as always, I prayed to Him for a new computer and now I am scribing His response which is “where are the tithes and offerings so that there may be meat in YOUR house? Have I not been faithful to those that partake of your gifting in this ministry? Have you not sown spiritually into many? I will not allow partakes of this ministry to eat and rob Me. 

Father is always faithful to meet our needs any True Prophet can attest to that, and we don’t ask for tithes and offerings because as mature Believers, you know to not rob God:

Malachi 3;8-9

Do Not Rob God

8 “Will a man rob God?

Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.

9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation

Nehemiah 13:10-12

10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field. 

11 So I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 

12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse.

We True Apostles and True Prophets minister because it is our calling, we don’t get to pick and choose who we give The Word of The Lord to. 

Remember Jonah tried that because he felt the Ninevites were undeserving to receive The Lord’s mercy.  

That didn’t go over too well for Jonah; The Lord gave Jonah some time to rethink his decision to not go to Nineveh. And after some intense time with a big fish (the Bible does not say it was a whale - just like the fruit Adam and Eve ate is not identified in scripture as apple, it is not identified) Jonah had a change of heart. 

Beloveds, do not cause The Living God to contend (confront and dispute) with you because you are robbing Him and not giving Him His portion as does continue to minister to your needs.  

JITA Publishing and Ministries is good ground to sow on; I work hard in this ministry making myself available to minister to any and all in need. Turning down no one ever. My family must endure the time they would like to spend with me as I minister in person, via email, via texts, and via phone calls. 

As it relates to tithes and offerings in this ministry, I/we stand on the scripture: 

1 Corinthians 9:11

11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?

In fact, in reading it in its full context:

1 Corinthians 9:9-19

Paul’s Rights as an Apostle

9 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? 2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

3 This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. 4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink? 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?

7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?  8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?  10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?

But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. 16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

I can truthfully say as with this calling and these giftings, I like the Apostle Paul, minister freely. And have made myself a “slave” to my calling and my gifting. Never asking anything in return except that you be obedient to whatever The Lord lays on your heart to sow into me The Apostle and/or The Prophetess. But understand, I do not charge even when I am invited to minister at conferences or church services. Be obedient to The Lord, this message is for you, not me. And except it is Father’s admonishment to His people through His Prophet, you know I don’t preach tithes and offerings, you are to spiritually mature for that

Those who know me well, know that I regularly say, “Hell is real and I ain’t going to Hell for nobody and I am not going to let anybody cause me to go to Hell…before that even close to happens, “bye Felicia!”

Many, many, times I have ministered prophecies to others for material blessings that came to pass when I myself was in need of that same blessing. Didn’t bother me at all and surely did not stop nor hinder me from speaking that Word! 

I love God’s people and I genuinely love souls. Though I have needs, and a family to care for, I trust The Lord will lay it on the hearts of those He has given me to minister to, pray for, etc and it is a matter between them and Him. 

In the meantime, I continue to minister to you in prayer, prophecies, deliverance, and everything in between no matter how tired or busy I may be. Because those of us that have intimacy and relationship with The Lord, understand the tremendous sacrifice and price paid by Jesus Christ in that He endured the shame and shed His blood for us, truly I partake of His humiliation and His suffering for the sake of preaching and ministering His gospel (good news). 

And yes, I am a faithful tither. (And no, I do not tithe to JITA Publishing and Ministries…He heard you asking) Can I rob God and preach to you, surely not! He gives me a dollar and requires only a dime of that dollar, I cannot afford not to tithe! It’s not mine! And that tithe has done supernatural wonders to sustain and protect me and my family. In fact, all four of us in this family are tithers!

I will close here because as His scribe, I speak what He gives me to share. And when He stops, so must I do the same. Although I must say I didn’t see this message coming. 

If we have sowed into you spiritually be obedient and sow into us naturally so that you do not have to contend with The Living God and so that you are not cursed with a curse (ponder that). 

I love you In Christ’s Love,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

Spiritual Climate

For several weeks the Words Spiritual Climate have been in my spirit. This is the time to give birth and share.

As part of life, before we venture out into a new place, we tend to check out the climate of that place. For example, if it’s a geographical location, we check out the demographics which include the weather patterns and temperatures, we tend to look at the crime statistics, noise levels, etc. Or on the other hand, we are going into a new setting such as a job, a church, a neighborhood we may look at the social environment and the relationships therein and around. 

Climate as defined by dictionary.com:

Climate-

1. the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years.

2. a region or area characterized by a given climate: to move to a warm climate.

3. the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place

For our purposes, we will utilize definition #3:

the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place.
We are embarking upon a new season. And as He (The Lord, my Father) has given to me, I have been saying since 2012, “something major is about to hit our land”, our land meaning the United States of America.  It is coming in the form of a judgment of God. And no, it is not the end, and no it’s not the rapture. (For those that always have that on your minds, you better be glad it’s not, because if it were, Hell would be awaiting your arrival and I make no joke about that).

As a matter of fact, the judgment’s results will vary according to the seeds sown by each of us. Remember, The Lord sees everything and He hears everything - EVERY THING.  NOTHING - NO THING goes unnoticed by The Lord. 

Galatians 6:7 -  Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

And so the climate I am speaking of is not corporeal. Meaning it is spiritual, and it is not tangible. But its fruition will be in the natural and very much tangible. 

I have never spoken with anyone directly (I didn’t have to), but I “saw” my blog titled “The Days are Evil” ruffled some feathers because MANY read it and saw themselves and assumed it was aimed directly at them. I am chuckling even as I am writing this because:

1. I have a prophetic gifting and I speak what my Heavenly Father instructs me to speak. I am merely a messenger, a mouthpiece. The accuracy is supposed to be there! So don’t be surprised by the fact that He read your mail to you! Don’t hate the game and definitely don’t hate the players! Just play by the rules! (Me chuckling)

2. If you understand prophecy when it’s corporate, meaning when it is spoken to more than one, then you understand and know that it is purposed by design to hit your spirit because it is accurate. However, as it is bypassing your flesh, heading to your spirit, your flesh may want to get angry or offended. Happens all the time. John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

And therefore, the proverbial shoe fit, or fitted (me laughing literally out loud), and you were offended. You should have been convicted or frightened. I am not God, just a servant of The Lord who chose to obey Him and walk in my calling.  It is a good thing when Holy Spirit convicts us:

Hebrews 12:6-7 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father

So, please…I have said it before, but it is worth repeating: get mad and get offended, but it is your salvation and your soul that is at risk. Be glad He still is speaking to you or has a Word for you no matter what it is. Be terrified if The Lord stops speaking to you and there is no Word for you and you cannot hear Him.

Turn away from those that speak lies into your ears. A lie is anything that does not line up with the truth of God’s Word. Because that means you have lost your moral compass and your direction has become sin and darkness.  Example: did you know you can get a burn that is so bad that the heat destroys the nerve endings and you no longer have feeling in that area? The Bible speaks of the conscience of man being not burned, but seared with a hot iron. Imagine a metal poker used to brand cattle (well…I know, but for the sake of this message let’s just leave it with branding cattle)

1 Timothy 4: [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning]

You are so anesthetized by your own thoughts and actions that you slipped and slid, and hustled your way through life, that in your mind it’s no big deal because it’s what everybody does. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Beloved, don’t you know that It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)? I ask you now: was it worth it? But please don’t answer just yet, it’s not yet time. Yes, you apologized but the seeds of your deeds went into the ground not to be buried, but to be cultivated and grow. You will see them again multiplied - greater than you sowed. Uh oh… 

Or better yet, you knew to do better. Here is why we all know to do better because in Genesis 1:27  God created mankind in his own image and his own likeness. So we have an innate trait of the likeness of God in us.  

1 Corinthians 2:10-12 - But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 

11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Last year (2020) I was working on one of the three books I wrote in that year. And the entire day, though the book was coming along nicely and in the will of God, I felt this heaviness looming over me. Like a cloud of impending sorrow and sadness. It bothered me greatly. I did a self-examination to see am I depressed, am I frightened, have I sinned…? It was none of the above

Finally, I wrapped up working on the book close to midnight and went to bed. I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned and finally said to my husband “I am going to get up and pray because I got to get this heaviness off of me"!

And it would take my family (my husband and children) to describe what happened when the prayer utterances came forth. We definitely had a Holy visitation. It frightened our son to his very core. He couldn’t even look at me, I wanted to comfort him but the Words of prophecy were coming forth so quickly and with such furor that I couldn’t stop. So my daughter, who also was shaken, comforted her little brother. My husband sat up in reverence and respect. And it went on for maybe 40-45 mins. What was said was frightening, at least that’s what they tell me. It spoke of what is to come next. 

And here is the crazy thing, only a few are even discerning it! So as many are going about life and making plans, they have no idea what is about to occur, but it will surely impact said plans of many.

That prophecy alone told me/us that the spiritual climate is changing and for many, it will not be good. In fact, it will be very bad. Even for some, there will be death. 

And yet again, it was confirmed to me in a dream this past Friday morning. 

In the dream, I visited the house I grew up in. The house was filled with family and friends past and present (I use those titles loosely - because as much as I love family, I continue to learn family is those of like precious faith more so than those with the same DNA). Everyone was standing around socializing and seeming to not have a care in this world. Meanwhile, I was trying to share a warning with them. No one seemed interested. I was talking to one guest- a man- and as I was speaking to him I watched him start to rot as he was taken away to jail. That got everyone’s attention, but then it was too late, I proceeded to leave through the front door and I woke up. 

Let me sidebar here to do some spiritual housekeeping as Holy Spirit is leading me, using myself as an example:

I am very thankful and eternally grateful for the strong support circle of Believers with JITA Ministries. We are closer than close. More like family. In fact, we are family in Christ Jesus. Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. We stand in prayer for one another daily and we enjoy fellowshipping about the things of The Lord.  We have each other. In our circle, there are no needs because if one has the other has because we are givers. And we never have to ask, it just comes.  The Lord is with us for certain! When we meet, we are as eagles - majestic, standing ready in our purpose. Our meetings are extremely prophetic with deep teachings of the scriptures. We have an amazing time in His presence. But don’t take my word alone for it…

Some of you can’t handle that because you still like to get on your phones and talk about other people’s business and cackle like chickens and hens. The Word of God being nowhere in those conversations. So to you, I am bragging. Nope, I am making my boast in The Lord! Hallelujah!

In fact, I saw several relatives (both my family and my husband’s family) doing that very thing concerning us. At first, it was amusing because Father had spoken it to me prophetically. “This one is going to have this one call you and they will be right there listening, but remember I am right here with YOU”. And sure enough, that relative who NEVER calls me (like never ever) called with some made-up story about family matters and during the call, every so often, dropping that person’s name who got them to call me to see what I would say about them. And not a word did I say in response to each time that person’s name was brought up. One, because I am not even remotely interested in what goes on in that person’s life and two, it is not my character to tell “my side” of the story.   That kind of stuff falls under sow and reap. Time and the harvest will tell the story of truth in its entirety. I told you in “The Days are Evil” blog that it would answer the soon coming question many will have “why is this happening to me?” 

But Father still reveals it to me and allows me to “hear” the conversations. I kind of got tired of “seeing” and “hearing” it, but Father continues because of my heart towards souls. I have overwhelming compassion for those that most feel don’t deserve compassion, much less mercy. So I have come to realize that when “they” stop talking about it, He will stop exposing it by revealing it to me as His prophet.

He said, “I want you to see, so that when My judgment comes down you will know and understand why I will not show mercy.”  Each time He shares with me, the more the gossip is inflated and spreading like wildfire. Though the matter is over two years old. And of course, it’s just more inaccurate versions of the event - gossip basically. 

In fact, several times as I would see them assembled in person or on their phones with myself and/or my husband (whom I love very much) as the topic of their discussions. 

It is like a scene in “A Christmas Carol” where Ebeneezer Scrooge was allowed to see into his past, his present, and his future. As I am watching or listening to the conversations, Father would say “TELL THE TRUTH! TELL THE TRUTH I SAY! WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU DO LONG BEFORE THAT?! I SAW YOU BOTH AND HEARD YOU BOTH EVERY TIME! LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES… I SAY THEY LIE!” Of course, they cannot hear Him, but I can - loud and clear. And this has been going on so much so, that the story must be even more inflated because, in the natural, I am getting calls from relatives that don’t call me or have not called me in at least ten years! Somewhere in there, a story is floating that I am walking in unforgiveness. 

Someone even sent me something about how Oprah Winfrey forgave someone she couldn’t forgive. Are…you….kidding ….me??? I didn’t even bother opening it because Oprah and I don’t believe in the same God. In fact, depending on what show of hers it is, she has a different deity (God) she speaks of each time! Sis is lost, let me put it to you this way: she is wealthy and lost. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  (Mark 8:36) We must keep her in prayer as she is a soul. Her money cannot buy her salvation and when she dies it is not going with her. 

I choose to live by faith and walk in peace than to have all the money in the world! Nothing beats a good night’s sleep - that sweet slumber and peaceful sleep that is promised to His Beloved.

This may all sound made up, but I am so serious and speaking the truth! It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? It is truth that reads stranger than fiction. Yes, we in ministry are not without the Sandballats and Tobiases in our lives either. We just choose to have the spirit Nehemiah had and continue in fruitful work for The Lord, like winning souls and teaching His Word. It is a small mind and a lost soul that does otherwise and stoops to the level of gossip that gets repeated, not even knowing if it is even true! And a pretty stupid thing to do seeing as our Creator can hear you. 

This is the one and only time I will say this: when I or anyone decides they have had enough abuse (abuse that the gossipers are not privy to) and walk away and not look back, it is not unforgiveness! 

It is wisdom people!! Why associate with those that will cause you to sin? That’s scriptural people!!!  

Matthew 5:30 - if your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. 

Father gives us His permission to walk away no matter who it is. Because:

2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

So understand it is not unforgiveness, it is wisdom that has brought a peace many of us hadn’t ever had when they were in our lives. 

And even now, there are some that just read that and a heavy burden was lifted because you now know you are free and can walk away from the burden of emotional, spiritual, verbal, and in many cases physical abuse you tolerated for the sake of “religion” and what you thought because you were taught that. Read and study the scriptures for yourself people! I cannot say it enough. People have used god as a mechanism of control and I purposely used a lower case g, because that mentality is not the nature of The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

You now know scripturally you don’t have to bear that burden any longer. Isn’t God good?!?!   Free yourself and enjoy your newfound peace!!!

Now, I am not speaking about marriage and divorce. That’s an altogether different bird. Read my book “For This Cause: An Extraordinary Story About Marriage”. Husband and wife, you will have to bear it until you hear Father (The Lord) say otherwise.  And for those who have implicated accusations about my husband being the wrong husband for me…oooh, Father is gonna get you. Mwah haha (ok for real, let me stop clowning…you all are not used to my blogs being so open, relaxed, and deep at the same time) 

You were called for a purpose and have a gifting. Running around talking business you ain’t supposed to talk (let me just get all West Indian on you) means you are not living out your purpose. That isn’t good for you.  You best be about your Father’s business and your own business.

In our personal climate as well as JITA Ministries, we are long-suffering bearing one another’s burdens and not walking away until we are released. But any one of us will tell you, when we get the release from Holy Spirit, we walk away. No one wants drama, stress, and gossip as a constant in their lives. Even in the United States, we have civil rights. Plainly stated the right to be treated civilly. 

Now, get on your phones and talk about that…And not another need call me. Besides, I am not a phone talker.  You will better hear from me either by text or email and those that are acquainted with and/or know me well know that about me. I hate talking on the phone other than ministry calls. I said what I said in this blog as Father lead me by His Holy Spirit and I will not ever speak on it again.

So, now that we have done some Holy Spirit-led housekeeping, let’s get back to the spiritual climate. 

Discern the times beloved, the next spiritual climate is upon us. It is a new season. And right about the time you realize what it is, it will have already manifested. And it is bringing forth a great harvest. 

To the sons and daughters of God, those He calls faithful, those diligently seeking Him. Your climate is sealed. You are in His Ark of Safety. Think of it this way (and I know this is redundant for JITA Ministries - but I must be obedient so that the world may know) it’s like watching it from your window as it all plays out. Surely darkness will cover the land. You will not be able to help those that have a not-so-good harvest…or let me just say a bad harvest. The harvest they don’t want. But it’s the seeds that they sowed. You can’t plant apple seeds and expect anything other than apples.  If you try to help them you will find yourself alongside them in a spiritual place you don’t want to be. 

I see death. A lot of “unexpected” death. Which has already begun. There will be more.

I see exposure. Many will be exposed. 

Luke 8:17 - For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

There is even more lawlessness (crime). You ain’t seen nothing yet, if I may use such vernacular.

And I see many more coming to JITA website searching and reading and re-reading my blogs looking for answers that will help them through or even to get out of what they are experiencing. The torment and the struggle will be very real. And sadly for you, if this is you: yes, you apologized but you still must reap what you sowed. 

Just remember beloved everything is but for a season. 

Ecclesiastes 3

There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—

2 A time to be born and a time to die;

A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

3  A time to kill and a time to heal;

A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh;

A time to mourn and a time to dance.

5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

6  A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;

A time to keep silent and a time to speak.

8 A time to love and a time to hate;

A time for war and a time for peace.

9 What profit is there for the worker from that in which he labors? 

10 I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man

11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good as long as they live; 

13 and also that every man should eat and drink and see and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. 

14 I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor can anything be taken from it, for God does it so that men will fear and worship Him [with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is God].

15 That which is has already been, and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by [so that history repeats itself].

16 Moreover, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. 

17 I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked,” for there is a time [appointed] for every matter and for every deed. 

18 I said to myself regarding the sons of men, “God is surely testing them in order for them to see that [by themselves, without God] they are [only] animals.” 

19 For the [earthly] fate of the sons of men and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no preeminence or advantage for man [in and of himself] over an animal, for all is vanity. 

20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust. 

21 Who knows if the spirit of man ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth? 

22 So I have seen that there is nothing better than that a man should be happy in his own works and activities, for that is his portion (share). For who will bring him [back] to see what will happen after he is gone?

In His Loving Arms,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

A Personal Story: With Me, Moses, and Nehemiah

In 1999, I was in a church service.  A guest prophetess was speaking.  It was a beautiful service.  She ministered in song and then she ministered a message from The Lord.  Afterwards, she invited those that wanted or needed prayer to come up.  I did not go, because Father taught me early on in my relationship with Him, not to go running up to the altar for prayer every time it is offered. That is not faith, nor is it relationship with Him.  From day one, it has always been I hear His voice directly.  It has always been part of my purpose and my calling.

She was praying and ministering heavily.  The anointing was upon her.  She and I made eye contact, and I knew, Father was about to speak to me.  And sure enough she made her way to me in the congregation, and began to minister to me.  There was much spoken over me, but for the purpose of this message I will only share in part, what was ministered and spoken into me. 

“I see angels ministering to you woman of God, angels visiting you and covering you.  God is going to use you greatly!… un uh this ain’t no Mickey Mouse Thang woman of God….YOU PAID FOR THIS ANOINTING!!!” The congregation clapped and rejoiced. Not me, in fact my spirit was downcast, because although I knew I had been through much up to that point, I knew I had not gone through even close to what she was ministering to me, I knew that the anointing she was speaking of, I had not even come close to having paid for with my life.

In all humility I say this: over the years I have watched many try to imitate this anointing and gifting that is upon me.  And aside from that being a very dangerous thing to do, because you open up spiritual doors that you are not anointed to cast out nor have not the spiritual authority to subdue, these are people’s lives that you are playing with and souls are not to be played with! We will ALL give an account of how we treated and ministered to others, which are God’s people. (You and I created nothing and breathed the Breath of Life into no one.)And that, in and of itself, can cause eternal death in Sheol (Hell).  Several chapters in the both the Old and New Testament scriptures speak of this very thing. And trust me, with this anointing we learn the way of true humility. Let me say that again, we learn the way of true humility.  And once we do, we realize how great our God is and that we have nothing to do with the power that is upon us other than obedience.

Luke 10:20 King James Version

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Anyhow, I am speaking of the True Apostles and the True Prophets; we pay a heavy price to walk in such heavy mantles. Starting with humility. Most are not willing to pay this price, because you have too much pride, as well as you know how you put your mouth on everyone, so you fear they will gossip and murmur about you the same way you gossip and murmur about others; if you are humbled the way The Lord humbles His true servants.

After all, the church and The Kingdom of God are built on those two mantles, with Christ as the Chief Cornerstone:

Ephesians 2:19-21 New King James Version

Christ Our Cornerstone

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

You will have some that say Apostles and Prophets were done away with long time ago, and I shake my head in disdain that the enemy is still able to deceive so many.  But he is able to do so because so many sit in these dead churches that have no supernatural move of God and no movement of the Five-Fold Gifts and/or people in churches pretending they are moving by Holy Spirit.  This usually happens because the leadership is afraid that those gifts working in the assembly will take the attention and the tithes and offerings away from them or just the opposite, they use the Gifts to try to draw in people and grow their church. 

But scripturally speaking, those gifts are supposed to be operational in today’s times as a demonstration of the sovereignty of God! It is to show the glory of God!

John 14:12-14 New King James Version

The Answered Prayer

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. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

 Let’s talk about Moses and his calling.

 You don’t have to be saved or even “religious” to know the story of Moses. Cecil B. Demille did a fabulous effort of bringing the story of the “Ten Commandments” to the silver screen in 1956. Notwithstanding some scriptural inaccuracies, it gave a fair resemblance to the story so that we get the gist of the story.  I am somewhat subjective having read the Bible in its entirety from cover to cover twice so far, once, in its published order, and once from beginning to end in chronological order.

Nonetheless, we know that Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s house.  A mansion or castle in modern day, or one could say just very large house for sure with wealth unspeakable. Which is so interesting and with a twist of fate because at the very least an unimaginable irony, because Moses was born of the Jewish people and had very little wealth and very little material wise.  Moses had everything he would ever want or need at his beck and call in Pharaoh’s house. And yet he lost it all because he chose the more excellent way, the call that was upon his life.

And as you read the scriptures, you see he went through such a breaking, then a processing, and then a making before becoming the Apostle and Prophet that he was. (Yes, Moses was an Apostle and a Prophet – if you have not studied that through, just continue reading and don’t worry about it until you are ready to learn of the scriptures by studying)  And along the way of course there were many including those he was to lead out of Egypt, that talked about him and murmured and even complained, because they felt he, as well as they themselves, should still live where they had with everything they wanted.  Some people need material things to “be happy”. That’s another message.  Because to be happy is flesh, to be joyful is spirit. 

Galatians 5:22-23 New King James Version

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

But Yahweh as the Jewish people referred to The Lord, had such a much greater and bigger plan for Moses.  So to lose the life of a Pharaoh (king), was something Moses was eventually willing to do for the sake of the burden in his heart to deliver his people and to fulfill the call upon his life.

And you know the rest of the story.  But again, reading it in the scriptures in its entirety is far different and much more edifying than watching the movie.  Not that watching the movie isn’t a good illustration, because in many ways it is, just more detail and distinction in the scriptures.

Moses walked with Yahweh (The Lord). The intimacy is unparalleled. 

Psalm 103:7 New King James Version

7 He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.

We see that Moses and The Lord had intimacy.  They walked together and Moses knew the very nature of God, while the people only knew what God did.  They knew His very actions only.  There is a monumental difference.  It is one thing to know of The Lord, and an altogether different thing to know Him personally and intimately and to understand His nature.  For example, you can know that The Lord will send a flood, but it is more important to know why He will send a flood.  Or even more importantly to discern the times and when He will send a flood.

And if He does not give you that discernment, then you don’t have discernment. It’s all about intimacy, that personal relationship with Him.

The Lord heard Aaron and Miriam speaking against Moses. So He visited them with a judgment.  But look how He let them know the relationship He had with Moses:

Numbers 12:8  New King James Version

I speak with him face to face,
Even plainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”

Every true Apostle and true Prophet is going to go through a breaking, then a processing, and then a making and it is going to last as much 20 something years.  And yes, I am no exception.  I just completed my 20+ years of breaking, processing, and my making.  In the beginning it was challenging because although I knew what it was, there were so many watching and observing my life being stripped and chose to judge and gossip and murmur about myself and my family. Perhaps they will still be watching and see us as we receive our manifested blessing of restoration!

I can honestly say after that season of making, being talked about or judged by others that don’t know or understand what is really going doesn’t faze me now, not even a little bit.  If it did, that would be flesh, and I am not moved in my flesh. In these mantles you cannot move by flesh but by His Holy Spirit only. In fact, like Moses He often tells me or shows me when it is happening so that I will understand when the judgement comes upon them.  Out of compassion I am praying for those that have that talebearing spirit because they are sowing seeds that will spring forth an unfavorable harvest for them. And they don’t know to fear The Lord. Think of it as was the case with Moses when Miriam spoke against Moses.  The Lord heard her and was going to kill her with leprosy; it was Moses who reasoned with Father (The Lord) to spare her.  And on Moses’ plea request did The Lord spare her life.  She was still judged with Leprosy, but for a short period of time.

Psalm 105:15 English Standard Version

15 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my prophets no harm!”

 I have met other true Apostles and true Prophets that have been through this same breaking, processing, and making, and some have written books about it which Father lead me to read early on to prepare me for mine.   You see, the very Church of Christ is built on this very foundation.  And it is nothing to take lightly or pretend to walk in that anointing when it comes with such a hefty price. A hefty price most are not willing to pay. And sadly many don’t complete their breaking, processing, and their making and never walk in their calling nor their purpose.

We go through rigorous spiritual training that includes walking and living by faith, being humiliated, brokenness, etc.  It is designed to subdue the flesh so that Holy Spirit is in charge and we are lead by Him.  As we decrease and He increases we are spiritually promoted to a level in the anointing that comes with keen spiritual insight, supernatural authority (deliverance ministry and laying on of hands healing), and supernatural fearlessness, and supernatural utterances including prediction known as prophecy.

Now Beloved… I can say 22 years later, that yes I HAVE PAID FOR THIS ANOINTING WITH MY LIFE.  And I have absolutely no regrets.  I wouldn’t want to go through it again, but if I had to, I absolutely without hesitation would.  I would not trade this gifting and this anointing for anything.  Why you may ask? Because I genuinely love souls and  I love God’s people. And it is my desire to see all who desire to be set free, be free indeed! Jesus came to set the captives free.

John 8:36 New King James Version

36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

 Remember Nehemiah in the Old Testament? Nehemiah was a Jewish leader and he agreed to rebuild the Jewish Temple of the Lord.  His name in Hebrew means, “Yah Comforts” or “The Lord comforts”.   His calling was great because there were those who did not want the temple rebuilt. 

Sandballat (in Hebrew means enemy) and Tobiah (in Hebrew means scoffer /ridiculer) were just two of many that tried to hinder the rebuilding of the temple.  And they came at Nehemiah with every evil work they could imagine to try to distract or stop Nehemiah from his work for The Lord.   In fact they were so angry and indignant that Nehemiah was rebuilding, that they launched an all-out attack against him.  In the second chapter of Nehemiah they attempted to intimidate and scorn the Jewish people to stop them and Nehemiah. Lie after lie they told, everyday coming up with something new to try to desecrate Nehemiah’s character and stop him from the work he was doing for The Lord. Even going so far as to tell lies that the king had demanded Nehemiah to stop the building. And the long and short of it is that Nehemiah made it clear that he was doing a work for The Lord and he couldn’t come down. No matter what they did or said, Nehemiah didn’t stop even to respond to their lies and rumors, he didn’t care because he was focused on his calling and doing what he was called to do. His recourse was prayer and of course The Lord was with him and the Jewish people rebuilding the Temple.

Nehemiah continued his work until it was finished. And his enemies were “handled”. It is a salacious story of rumors and lies against Nehemiah and how he being a man of God he prospered in the midst of it all.

You may have been wondering or even praying about your purpose, your calling, or what is your gift? You have probably even prayed about it.  Equally as much, you may have been discouraged from walking in your calling for a number of reasons. 

Again, I ask how many will miss the mark of the High calling of Jesus Christ because of someone else scoffing at them or they themselves unable to let go of that scoffing and evil ridicule nor let go of those that don’t  fit into what The Lord has for you?

Moses left all to serve the Lord. Nehemiah did not care what was being said, he prayed and kept going with what The Lord had tasked him to do. 

For some you weren’t ready for your calling.  You weren’t ready to forsake all.  You were created to soar in the anointing, but there are some weights in the form of people that have to be let go, because if not, they will always hold you down and keep you at their level with that which is not of The Lord.

Hebrews 12:1 Amplified Bible

Jesus, the Example

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of  witnesses [the people commended for their faith ][who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,

Many cannot handle that or are afraid of what others may think.  You cannot fear God and man too.

Matthew 10:27-29 Amplified Bible

27 What I say to you in the dark (privately), tell in the light (publicly); and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops [to many people]. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

For it is important to remember

Matthew 22:14 Amplified Bible

14 For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen.”

And one of my most taught scriptures:

Matthew 7:13-14 New Century Version

The Way to Heaven Is Hard

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. The gate is wide and the road is wide that leads to hell, and many people enter through that gate. 14 But the gate is small and the road is narrow that leads to true life. Only a few people find that road.

 Beloved, I close with John 17 the scripture in which we hear Jesus praying to The Father about His people as He is preparing to be crucified.  I said His people.  Read John 17 and see if you see yourself in that scripture and pay close attention to which one is you. Be honest with yourself, this is between you and God.  And your eternal life depends upon it. Are you His or are you in and of the world?

If you are reading this please know that we are praying for you. I am praying for you. 

John 17 New Century Version

Jesus Prays for His Followers

17 After Jesus said these things, he looked toward heaven and prayed, “Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can give glory to you. 2 You gave the Son power over all people so that the Son could give eternal life to all those you gave him. 3 And this is eternal life: that people know you, the only true God, and that they know Jesus Christ, the One you sent. 4 Having finished the work you gave me to do, I brought you glory on earth. 5 And now, Father, give me glory with you; give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.

6 “I showed what you are like to those you gave me from the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your teaching. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. 8 I gave them the teachings you gave me, and they accepted them. They knew that I truly came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for people in the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And my glory is shown through them. 11 I am coming to you; I will not stay in the world any longer. But they are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they will be one, just as you and I are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and only one of them, the one worthy of destruction, was lost so that the Scripture would come true.

13 “I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world so that these followers can have all of my joy in them. 14 I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them, because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world. 17 Make them ready for your service through your truth; your teaching is truth. 18 I have sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world. 19 For their sake, I am making myself ready to serve so that they can be ready for their service of the truth.

20 “I pray for these followers, but I am also praying for all those who will believe in me because of their teaching. 21 Father, I pray that they can be one. As you are in me and I am in you, I pray that they can also be one in us. Then the world will believe that you sent me. 22 I have given these people the glory that you gave me so that they can be one, just as you and I are one. 23 I will be in them and you will be in me so that they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me and that you loved them just as much as you loved me.

24 “Father, I want these people that you gave me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the world was made. 25 Father, you are the One who is good. The world does not know you, but I know you, and these people know you sent me. 26 I showed them what you are like, and I will show them again. Then they will have the same love that you have for me, and I will live in them.”

If you understand John 17, then you understand why walking in your gifting and your calling is:

1. Personal

2. Serious

3. Rigorous

4. Powerful

5. Sacrificial

It’s way more than praying over your food, saying a few Christian “buzzwords”, having consistent church attendance, and saying you or others are “good” people. It is way more than that!

Luke 9:23 Amplified Bible

23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].

I pray for your salvation and that you will come to know The One True Living God and walk in your calling and your purpose.

Stay Blessed, in Christ Jesus’ Love,

Apostle and Prophetess Wendy Connor
