LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. (Ps 15:1-5)

As a global CONNECTOR in Christ, I delight in connecting people, ideas, and resources. I realize that many of the connections shared are not meant for most of my followers. But hopefully, when the right opportunity comes your way at the right time, you will have the spiritual discernment and courage to seize that.

Over the next three days, I will be sharing what I consider three extraordinary opportunities to sow into yourself and the Kingdom of God. Each one of these requires a big step of faith and UNCOMMON obedience on the part of the sower. UNCOMMON obedience always leads to UNCOMMON blessings – always. Even if none of these apply to you directly, your prayer support will still be appreciated.

Today’s opportunity relates to sowing a $14,400 seed. This amount has a huge miracle story behind it.

In late 2002 and early 2003, the Holy Spirit worked in my life in a most peculiar way and finally instructed me to sow a $14,400 seed into Doug Barclay’s life. It turned out the amount the LORD told me to sow (12 x $1,200) was the exact amount Doug needed to begin working as “Development Director” for Operation Mobilization. Doug’s first day of work at OM was 03-03-03, a spiritually significant date. On March 8, 2007, I wrote a YDB devotional about that titled “The Doug Barclay Miracle.”

On January 1, 2007, the first day of my sabbatical year and my 21 day fast, the Holy Spirit told me to ask 12 people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000, my parent company. Later that day, a family member sowed the first seed. Then on June 12, 2009, a friend sowed the second seed. I wrote about that on September 14 in a YDB post titled “The Angel Breakthrough and the $14,400 Miracle.”

A few months ago, the LORD made it crystal clear to me that I was to ask ten more people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000 and God’s billion soul vision. After dragging my feet for a while, I have finally mustered the courage and removed the distractions to do this.

So here’s the opportunity. I am allowing ten more people to sow a $14,400 seed into Empower 2000, my parent company. After the ten seeds are sown, this offer will close forever.

In exchange for sowing a $14,400 seed, each investor will receive 1% of the gross income of Empower 2000 through December 31, 2011, paid on a quarterly basis. While I can’t make any guarantees, my goal is for each investor to experience a significant return on their investment.

In addition to this, each investor will be allowed to offer $10,000 in scholarships to needy people and organizations of their choice for online courses that Jerry Graham and I teach.

If you are interested in this offer and opportunity, please call me at 540-547-4240. If I’m not available, please leave a voice message with your phone number and I’ll return your call.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for the courage to finally do what You instructed me to do. I leave the results in Your hands. May you richly bless each person who steps forward. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings for spiritual discernment and courage!

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)

What is flowing in the Spirit?

This morning I was woken up suddenly knowing the LORD wanted to use me as His scribe to share several messages with the world. I heard Him say clearly, “Let the Spirit flow.” I started singing a song with those lyrics, not certain where it was coming from. After praying on my knees a few minutes and taking communion, I began journaling.

Very quickly, I was led to do a Google search using “Let the Spirit flow.” That led me to visit the #1 entry – “Let the Spirit Flow Concert Tours.”

I also came across a good article titled “Flowing in the Spirit.” You can read that below. [http://www.worshipworld.com/lite/flowing.htm]

From there I was led to go to Youtube and do a search using “Let the Spirit Flow,” which led me to this video:

This in turn led me to do another search using “Let the river flow” which led me to this video

Enjoy. Soak it in. Let the Spirit flow. Let the river flow.

Prayer Power
Most gracious and merciful heavenly Father, I thank You for the river of God that flows through me into other people’s lives. May those who read this message let your Spirit flow to be washed anew by You. May Your cleansing waters bring them life, hope, and happiness. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to let the Spirit flow!

Flowing in the Spirit
Although I believe I still don’t know enough about this to write a comprehensive article, I will gladly offer what I do know on a preliminary basis, and keep improving this article as I gain more experience. I thank Rev. James Cheong for valuable advice in the preparation of this article.
You might want to read about an experience of “flowing in the spirit” that I had before.

———————————-

What is flowing in the Spirit?
Generally defined, it means recognizing that God wants to use the worship to minister to the worshippers and being sensitive to the guidance of the Spirit to facilitate that. The broad definition implies that a worship leader, music team or congregation can be “flowing in the Spirit” throughout the entire worship – in fact, throughout the entire service. A narrower definition postulates that there is a specific time during the worship which the presence of the Spirit is especially strong and that is when God chooses to minister to his Body. Both are correct, though for the rest of this article I will use the narrower definition.

When does it occur?
It can occur anytime, though usually it may occur during the “intimate worship” (inner courts) portion of a worship. That’s the part of the worship when the worshippers are most sensitive to God. And it can occur in both small group or large group worship.

Can it be planned?
Yes and no. On one hand God cannot be made to do a “guest appearance” as one pleases. Planning the whole worship second by second will not be conducive to flowing in the Spirit. On the other hand, if during the planning for the worship, the leader remains sensitive to God’s will, it’s conceivable that he may have been guided to lead a worship conducive to flowing in the Spirit.

How important is the leader for “flowing in the spirit”?
Quite important. He is God’s chosen instrument to help lead the worshippers into God’s presence. God uses the worship leader to guide the worship during the flowing of the spirit. Whether in deciding to sing a chorus another time, to pause for prayer or ministry, to break into spontaneous song, to speak ministering words, or to have a silent moment of enjoying God’s presence, the worship leader plays the key role in discerning the timing.

Does one have to be an experienced worship leader?
No. God can use anyone; I speak from experience as a young worship leader. The only fallacy young worship leaders tend to believe is that they can “plan” for flowing in the Spirit to occur. It cannot be planned.

Does one need to have a mature congregation for flowing in the spirit to occur?
No; again, I speak from experience. No denomination is excluded per se either. But you do need worshippers who are sincere and who are expecting to meet God in the worship.

What is the good of flowing in the Spirit?
It is not a cool worship technique. It is a practical example of recognizing the Lordship of Christ in all of our worship and church activities. It is the discipline and stewardship of giving time to the Spirit to use it as He wants it to be used in the worship. It always gives adequate time for us as worshippers to feel the Father’s love and respond to it, worshipping “in spirit and in truth”.

How do I know if or when I should allow “flowing in the spirit”?
As a leader, you should be sensitive to God’s guidance throughout the worship. If you suddenly feel that something in your spirit is prompting you to say something or sing something or do something particular, and you get this sense that you know it is from God, then that is the exact time.

How do I know whether what I feel prompted to do is really from God?
The more mature you are as a child of God, the more sensitive you will be to God’s will. Generally anything that contradicts Biblical principles is not from God. As you practise doing God’s will, you will know more and more what is really from God and what is not.

What should I do when I feel prompted to let the Spirit flow?
Your human intellect may have a tendency to say all kinds of things and start waxing philosophical. Don’t. Say only what you feel is from your spirit and what is absolutely necessary. “Get out of the way” – it’s usually the time for the whole congregation to express their feelings freely. Continue as long as you feel God is directing you; end when you feel directed to end.

Does flowing in the Spirit imply a suspension of the intellect?
No. We worship God both in Spirit and in Truth. Truth means that we have to know and be directed by the word of God in our worship. Therefore it is Biblically incorrect to worship God without the use of our mental faculty. Suspension of the intellect often implies extremist views emphasizing the ecstatic and mystical nature of worship eg. trances, hysteria, rolling on the ground while shouting and screaming, etc. Flowing in the Spirit should involve both our spirit and intellect (the total inner man) responding to God’s guidance and leading in the worship.

Anything I should avoid, so that flowing in the Spirit will not be hindered?
As I mentioned above; talking too much out of our human intellect; planning a rigid worship schedule; expecting God to flow at such and such a time, singing such and such a song. Don’t think that chucking some “power songs” into your worship will make the Spirit flow either. There is one more thing, which, having heard of but never experienced, I find hard to explain. I will state it as “drifting into heaven and leaving your worshippers behind on earth”.

This morning while I was having a dialog with the LORD through two-journaling, He told me:

Randy, this 2-way prayer time with me each morning is your most important habit. Even when you are away from home, you can do this. You can easily write in a notebook if you don’t have a computer. And then meditating on my Word morning, noon, and night is a key. As I told Joshua before he led My people into the promised land, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.”

Joshua 1:3 – “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.“

Joshua 1:5-9 – “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

In essence the LORD was telling me He is raising the bar, establishing a higher standard, and that I must depend more on Him.

The LORD told me to email my son. After typing my message to him, I accessed my Gmail account to send that email. An email sent by Bob late last night jumped out at me. Bob shared a vision he had on August 1 of a high jump bar that had been raised higher than most people could jump. He asked the LORD what that meant. Then yesterday Bob received the email below about another person who recently had a similar vision of a high jump bar.

In his email to me, Bob wrote, “The standard is God’s word and its integrity. It is Scripture and Rhema both-the universal word and the personal, also. The new standard is that God is not going to let Christians get away with ignoring Him any longer. The ones that do will be left behind-their agenda will fail and their walk will fail. As long as I am jumping the bar “in the Spirit” which would be necessary, I am safe. I will get over every hurdle”

What about you?
Are you jumping the bar in the Spirit?
What greater commitment is the LORD calling you to?

Blessings to meditate on the Word of God morning, noon, and night!

A HIGHER STANDARD

A HIGHER STANDARD

A Vision given to Andrea Danko 2/25/09
abdanko@yahoo.com

The Brick Wall
For weeks now I have been drawn by the Holy Spirit to the brick wall with all the names on it in our sanctuary. As I touch that wall the Lord fills my heart with overwhelming sorrow and I end up in deep travail every time.

Night Of Worship-The New Standard
Last Wednesday I felt the same drawing and as I knelt there in travail I heard the Lord clearly say:” I am raising the standard. What people could get away with in the past they won’t be able to do it anymore.” I was taken at this point into a vision.

Vision of the High Jumpers
I saw the two poles of and the bar on them. Two hands touched the first pole and raised the height. They did the same to the other pole and then put the bar on. People were all around getting ready to jump. They represented three groups, three different responses, attitudes.

Into the first group belonged those who started to run but stopped right before the bar not even trying to jump over it. They were instantly disqualified.

People in the second group were very confident. They put their confidence in the swiftness of their legs, the flexibility of their body, in their flesh. They all threw down the bar.

Those in the third group had no confidence nevertheless they wanted to try. They began to run and when they got close to the bar they threw their arms up in the air. As if they were asking for help from heaven/ surrendering to the Lord’s will/ worshiping Him with this move. In that moment two eagles swooped down, they came under their arms, lifted them up and put them down on the other side of the bar.

{End of Andrea’s Vision}

=======

Comments from sandy

What is very quickened to me about the vision is that the brick wall represents something that can not be crossed over, so it is either a barrier, a standard of some sort, or a protection and boundary. And the Lord is raising the standard or barrier in people’s boundaries so they can no longer slip over the wall of His protection. They will fall unless in their weakness they look UP and throw themselves up to Him. The keyword that comes across to me, is COULD GET AWAY WITH. That to me says stronger discipline.

Isa 3:10-11 NKJV – “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Jer 17:10 NKJV – I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
