Do not anxiously look about you...

Ever look at a healing minister that's moving in amazing power and wonder, "How can I do that? They hardly do anything... there's no deliverance session... POW, the healing just happens!"

Well, there's a lot of stuff i don't understand either... but if it aligns with the scriptures than who am I to judge the anointing or calling another has? Some people move in major healing. My husband has the seer anointing but try as I might... I only see very little, but he doesn't have the things I've got! So can I be content that the body has many parts and we should function where we shine & not covet or feel 'less' in our own position?

It's not about position...it's about obedience, right?

Example: A grandma that has a gifting with kids is no less then a powerful healer....the gifts and calls are without repentance....so the powerful healer can continue to move as such even if they fall into disobedience.... but little ole' grandma could continue on and would end up with more reward in heaven for her obedience and faithfulness then the powerful healer!!!!

We truly cannot judge by comparison with others!

Jesus is our only bar...if we focus on Him, all else will follow.... if we spend all our time looking at humans the enemy will breed discontent within us and we will hop to and fro saying 'here's the Christ (anointing) there's the Christ (anointing)', but then fail to enter in to what He has uniquely for us.

Be assured in your high standing and calling in Christ Jesus... it's okay not to know everything. Just align with the Word, mind your own business and that which the Lord has 4 you!

Spiritual Tips 4 - Tips for Teachers



Are you a God-ordained 'Teacher' of the 5-fold, in that the gifts have not passed away? If your drive is to open up and bless the body of Christ with any morsel of revelation of the kingdom of God. this is for you.

1.) Go with what you know. Nothing regurgitated. nothing from a book that you've read but not personally been through or God hasn't specifically shown you Himself. God gives all of us a facet if it weren't so then we wouldn't need a 'body of Christ'. There's nothing wrong with building upon more facets already out there, but if you hop on a bandwagon of sorts and it's not coming from the heart, it benefits no one and if it's not birthed from HIM, it's your own bad-self Pride that you need to be dealing with!
Some people put themselves in this position because they have a 'ministry' a 'following' that is expecting them every wednesday night at 7pm. Be careful people only do what you see the Father doing and don't get swept down the river with that old feeding trough trap.

2.) Go with what you know AND have Conquered, because--- you'll be tested by your words. If you haven't conquered something and blab it out prematurely guess what? You're going to deal with it some more. It's not only the devil that stands before God and says, "Hey, they say they are over it, I just had them a moment ago, talk is cheap, I ain't go'in nowhere unless they therefore STAND". But the enemy also enlists human weapons to rail against you, to whittle your faith down and make it even harder for you. Hey, let's face it the enemy is ruthless he knows you well. Your good witness is more important to snuff out than a christian that's minding their own business in unspiritual Logos-land. Teachers you know you're more accountable. If you don't have your 'stuff' together and the pressure is great and you fall what happens to the people that were listening to you?
I know, it's hard you start to get freedom and revelation and you get excited. But hold up lil' buck-a-roo don't let your excitement be captured by the enemy pushing you.

Part of the lie the enemy often pushes on people is that YOU HAVE TO BE FIRST. this is something 'new'. Nope, nothing new under the sun. There is no hurry if you are trusting in the Lord. You will absolutely know when the time is right to deliver the message of the Lord you'll be inspired, it will come out with an unmistakable anointing upon it; you will have peace and there won't be any feeding pearls to swine.

3.) God will bless you where you are at. No task He commissions you with is too small or unimportant. I have an immense burden to teach but one day He told me to do the bible promise series here on YouTube. That doesn't require teaching, just reciting from the good book. What I didn't realize is what an important tool, weapon and blessing it is for me! BUT, He knows! Now it's a referral I use when helping others.
The same with doing 'Children's Church'. I simply turn on the camera when I teach the kiddies & then spend some time editing & then what happens? My kids LOVE the episodes! Not only do they sit through it once but they watch the fun video after the fact! Do I want the word of God in me? Do I want it rooted in my kids? YES!
3a.) God will bless you where you are at because God gives us these teachings first for ourselves! As I go through old teachings, I find blessings there. Teacher, if you're not finding blessing in your own teachings-- if you don't feel that anointing there that excites you to go deeper--- analyze, was it 'you' or God-ordained?

4.) Look at me vs. Look at God. When you start a teaching as led by God, stay the narrow road. Are you equipping people or are you looking for accolades? People want to know how to go on deeper with God and how to be free. We are called to use our testimony, but there's a fine line there. Point to Jesus. Educate the people. And be 'Real' in your delivery-- don't only tell half of it cuz rest brings down your posh reputation. If you've conquered it, it shouldn't bug you anyways!

5.) Be You. God has designed you and equipped you just as you are. Don't squish yourself into the preacher on t.v. box of the month if that's not you. I have people call me a fake christian cuz I'm goofy instead of serious and stoic. But hey, I'm reaching who I'm supposed to all you cool people that watched this to the end!

Another kind of 'Invasion'



New World Order, Bohemian Grove, Aliens, UFO's....if you're into spiritual warfare, these things are all too familiar in your vocabulary. BUT, have you heard of the latest invasion for overcomers?

Exposing darkness. Is it important? Yes! Wake up the sleepers-- very important. But church.... I'm noticing a new attack zone that's as old as old leatherbelly offering Eve an apple in the Garden of Eden. It's simple.... tell the truth but add in a lie.

It's hard when trying to wake up the church in exposing a lie with some of this stuff... especially the stuff that has completely penetrated our society like yoga and tibetan sand mandalas. Yoga has a health benefit attached and with mandalas, I've heard many a christian argue that it's just a pretty art form. Never mind the occultic underlying things that people want to attribute to superstition or 'they don't really mean that'.... c'mon the truth is strange. Most of the church rejects supernatural anything... turn the cheek... nope, didn't see that. People are quick to reject anything on the other side of the fence... especially any mere mention of anything regarding the enemy's camp. We know we can't dwell on that side of the fence but we must be aware of what's going on over there to have an effective offense. Eeegad! Even the army operates this way!

A trend I'm now seeing that we need to be wary of is members of the occult masquerading as 'christians' and supposedly 'exposing' this darkness. Having some 'appearance' of Godliness. YouTube is infested with it. And this is the challenge.... dividing the truth from the lie.

We cannot bury our heads in the sand.... what do we do?
1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."

BUT the enemy quotes the scriptures toooooo! That is the problem folks....the only way to tell is by the anointing (or lack of it) coming off of the media you are in-taking, and by watching the fruits that are produced.

The other day I was watching something that had all the right exposing media... it used scripture, but when it was done my spirit was troubled. Something was wrong, so I prayed & Jesus asked me "What is the spirit on this video that's troubling you?"..... ah, yes Lord.... it IS a spirit & it's one of confusion and FEAR. Then He told me to look at the fruits produced, so I looked at the comments for the video and then it was all too clear. The video owner was attacking and judging other christians etc.

Again, exposing darkness has it's place-- there is definitely a need for warriors to do so especially in combating the enemy leavened batches... but we have to also ask ourselves where do we need to spend most of our time? We all have to ultimately remember it's not about exposing satan, so much as it is getting close to the one whom has saved us. And as we are conformed into His image our fruit bears Greater Works. It is deliverance and healing and love that conquers satan... and who is it that is commissioned to do these Greater Works? These Greater Works of signs and wonders of the kingdom of God in the Holy name of Jesus? Our focus is not to be in heady knowledge of what the enemy does so much as it is in the anointing of Jesus pouring out as rivers of living waters through US!

[Prayer and impartation to feel the anointing of God and the greater gift of discernment]

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things."

Know thyself in Christ, and out of the Matrix




Are you sick and burnt out on christianity?  Did you really try and  couldn't make it work?   God has an individual destiny for everyone and it's not about being trapped in a box.

I hope you've seen the 'The Matrix' trilogy...if you haven't you'll really miss out on the parallels I’ve got for you in this episode of hearing God.

In The Matrix you see the keymaker....you see his purpose is to make keys but his destiny is to make the key that enables 'the one' to hit his mark.    As bullets fly when they shut the door, we see the keymaker riddled with holes to make this statement to give some peace so Neo can go on:  'We only do what we are called to do.'

And look at the guardian of 'the Oracle' in that same series --’Seraph’.   Seraph  exclaims his unique purpose....'I protect that which matters most'.

We all need to really know what our giftings are and our purpose here on earth if we are to find life's greatest fulfillment and happiness in doing what God designed us to do.

I've often urged people to take a 'giftings test'...do a google on the internet for:  WAGNER-MODIFIED HOUTS online and you can find an online test that will help you see what God has planted in you.  Some people just mish-mash along doing a little bit of everything or  they've been put in a box as a workhorse or find a position that looks better for their posterity than in really serving God.   I can't tell you how many self-proclaimed, self-ordained people there are out there.  I see people that get prayed over that God says 'Hey, this is My Evangelist!', but instead they squeeze themselves into a 'Pastor box' they have no business in being in.  We all have specific giftings...sometimes God has us in a temporary position just to get a specific job done, but then we have to let that thing go...and refocus--don't add it to your stationary or business card!!!  
 
Again, I like to use The Matrix story line...how awful it would've been if the keymaker decided he was also 'the one' and didn't ultimately protect Neo?  After all, he's the one that made the key--no one could've done anything without his help.  But that wasn't the case & a good lesson for us to learn.  When churches get so focused on structure and a pecking order...and that if they didn't hear it from God themselves then it's not God....when they should be taking everything directly to God for confirmation....then God's plan is neglected and man's plan is followed instead.   Neo had a vision & he was running with that vision...he was in a perfect place because he never ran ahead, and the people that surrounded him--even Morpheus, as a superior, allowed him to walk out what Neo & only Neo knew....even when it wasn't much!  So recognize wearing the hat vs. owning the office and please act accordingly.  This is why accountability of leadership is soooo severe in God's eyes.  He has a job to complete and can't complete the job if His body is hindered and can't grow.  Churches today have the tendency to be like a politician with 'pet projects'.   Whoever originally got the vision pushes that & anything that doesn't push that, is hindered, oppressed, & boxed.   When a thing becomes stagnant then the people have discontent....they KNOW, they watch the fruits...deep inside they feel ineffective.   They then begin to look to and fro exclaiming---God where are you?   Many get burnt out on a cycle of 'oh this is it' but then the ceiling is reached...then onto the next ministry and  [singing...] 'oops it happens again'.   Many fall completely away from the faith.  And who is accountable?   Ouch! 

God says to those leaders, that they need a little 38 Special...
(song played...’Hold on Loosely’, by the band ‘38 Special’)

“...Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in...”
What? You don't think the Holy Spirit speaks through everything under the sun?  Think again!
Let's look again at the relationship Neo and Morpheus had.  Was the student ever greater than the teacher???  If you answered 'yes', I think you missed it.  You missed the whole thing!    The calling might have been different, but the chain of respect never changed.  Neo never got a high and mighty attitude.  This is a perfect example of how a spiritual mentor is important as someone that gives hope and points to Jesus as someone to  believe in, without choking the growth because the goal is the focus not a box of control.

It's really important to KNOW THAT YOU KNOW who you are in Christ (in the anointing).   Look at yourself as a puzzle piece...and watch for fruits in others that are other puzzle-pieces.  We are not to all be one man bands.   'His true church' may not be a modern-day model of a church at all for you.

God has so much of the anointing to fill you up with, so seek out  and grow and bloom with what He has given you.  Throw away the worldly preconceptions of what serving God is...and look at those unique giftings and desires in your heart--those things Jesus gave uniquely to YOU.
