We pray that this newsletter and its contents that we share will help you on your daily journey with Christ, causing you to grow in the ways of the Lord.


The giftings of the fivefold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher) should have one purpose, and that is the teaching and equipping of the saints until we come into unity. This is why we teach so that you can grow stronger in your faith until unity comes in the body of Christ.


Take what you have learned and share it with others so that we can further the kingdom for Jesus Christ.

THE EYE

____________________


The eye is one of the most valued and important members of our body. It senses our surroundings and helps us to understand what is going on. It is in this literal sense that it is most frequently found in the bible. However, there is more to it than that.


In scripture, the eye is sometimes linked to a spiritual understanding. We see this in Ephesians 1:17-19 where it says, “God…may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him [Jesus], the eyes of your understanding being enlightened.”


The eye is so important that in the Mosaic Law, if a man were to smite the eye of his servant or slave, the smitten one with the blinded eye must be given his freedom. [Exodus 21:26].


A cruel heathen custom often included putting out the eye of a defeated enemy so that they could not rebel.


Scripture also speaks of the pride of lofty eyes in Psalm 131:1 or of envy in Matthew 20:15.


The important application for you and me is that of the “eye gate” which allows outside influences to affect us whether for the bad or the good. We must be careful about what we watch or see, as it can have a powerful influence upon us.


If my wife and I are streaming an otherwise good movie or series, and we come upon a sex scene, we stop it and fast-forward it past it before watching any further. We do not let our eye gate take such stuff in.


The eyes of our spirit must focus on that which is of a good report, and especially on things of which Jesus would approve. We must always be conscious of such things.

FIRE ON THE ALTAR

___________________


In reading Leviticus chapter 6 we see two verses that stand out about fire on the altar. The Levites were to keep the fire on the altar burning continuously. In verse 12 and 13 it states this twice. It reads, “And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; IT SHALL NOT BE PUT OUT: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. 13The fire shall EVER BE BURNING upon the altar; IT SHALL NEVER GO OUT.”



As I read these verses the Lord reminded me that we are “living” sacrifices placed on the altar of God. The fire in our lives should never go out. It is to be continuously burning for the Lord.


How do we keep that fire burning in our lives? We keep it burning by being in the presence of the one that has eyes as flames of fire (Revelation 1:14) and feet like they burn in a furnace. (Revelation 1:15.) (Both verses are speaking of Jesus.) We also maintain it through the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire.


John the Baptist said that one would come after him that would baptize us with the Holy Ghost and WITH FIRE. Matthew 3:11 says, “I indeed baptize you (John the Baptist speaking) with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”


That fire baptism burns away the things that displease God. The fire brings passion for God and the things of God. It produces a holy walk, and righteous thinking. The baptism of fire renews our minds as we spend time in the Lord’s presence.


We should not fear that fire, for it is a refining fire. It only comes when we lay down our lives on the altar of God and let His fire consume us. It does not destroy us; it empowers us to do His will, His way.


Make the choice to never let the fire from the altar of God go out in your life. It is a dangerous place to be when one lets the fire go out. It opens the door for Satan to legally enter your life and bring destruction. Satan hates the fire of God because he knows there is a different kind of fire awaiting him in hell and the lake of fire and he wants to take many with him.  


If you are in that place where the fire has gone out, then repent and ask God to forgive you. Lay your life again on the altar of God and let Him burn away those things that have separated you from Him. Choose God’s fire, and you will avoid Satan’s fire.

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS AND INSPIRATION



Click here for more prophetic words that have been given through this ministry.

We must remember when a prophetic word is given as a warning, it will be before the events take place. This word was given nearly eleven years ago, but it is playing out now. It is sobering.


Prophetic Word

As given to Helen Sanders

April 20, 2016


You would ask is this the time, and I would say that time is in my hands. I am preparing and I am implementing what will come to my earth soon. For nation will rise against nation, and there shall be floods, and earthquakes, there shall be pestilence and violence like you have never seen before. I am bringing the shaking and the fires to my earth, and I will see to it that all things are purified. There is a great shaking going on, have I not told you that? Why would you be surprised to see these things happening? I am in the shaking saith the Lord, and I will see things shaken until they cannot be shaken anymore. You shall see things come to dust that stood tall, and you shall see things become tall that many took for dust. You will see these things with your eyes, and my word shall be carried out. I am preparing and I am in the times. I shall say it again, I am preparing and I am in the times. These events are being played out on my schedule, and not on man’s time frame. You are seeing things as prophesied of old, and yes, they shall surely come to pass before that great and terrible day of the Lord. Things are changing rapidly, and they shall surely speed up saith the Lord, you will see these things change, and you will tell others of the magnitude of my power, for nothing can stop the shaking, for I have declared it, and I have spoken, and it shall surely come to pass. Your nation has crossed over the threshold of its destiny, and you shall see it fall, and then from the dust there will be a rising, and there are many that will stay the course, but there are many who have called me Lord that shall perish. For I test the heart, and the heart that stays the course is the heart that is mine saith the Lord. It will not be the ones that have said it in their minds, but have never received it into their hearts. Those that are of my heart desire to change, and they are the ones that shall see these things through, just as the days where the three went into the fiery furnace and received no smoke or burning on them, the same thing shall happen to those of my heart. They shall be in the fire but not be burned. They shall not smell of smoke. But these three spent time with me, and did not compromise. They did not love their lives unto death. Surely they fought the fight of the flesh, but they did not yield to it. They went beyond the flesh, and walked in the spirit with me, and I delivered them. I would say to you now, my children, and cast aside every weight so you can walk with me in the spirit. Let go of every stronghold that would hold you back. Do not despise those that are walking in the spirit. Yearn for the things of the spirit my children; yearn for them as a soul longs for the love of God. Seek after me and I will be there to see you through. Change is here saith the Lord. Brace yourself for it, and yield to my Spirit as He leads you in the path of righteousness saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


It’s while we’re in God’s Presence through prayers of worship, praise and thanksgiving; That Holy Spirit will calm our hearts and quieten our minds. Yes, it’s in times like the ones we see sweeping our great USA; As well as in many of our own hearts and lives...That we fully realize the real meaning of the old hymn of the church… Where Could I Go But To The Lord? Matter of fact, Jesus is NOT just AN answer; But He IS our ONLY answer for today…And for ALL of our tomorrows. Now I leave you with words of wisdom from Psalms 27:8…”When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, ”Your face, Lord, I will truly seek." I pray you have a blessed day and a highly productive life in general. Just always remember that Jesus is your ANCHOR…And He is THE ANSWER to what you may face NOW or in your FUTURE.

Thursday Thought For Today


Old Season and New Season


Are you entering a new season? I know I am! We are not alone. Many are finding themselves in new places where they have never been before.



The old season taught us many things that we will take with us into our new season of life. There will be challenges as we enter in. The experiences of our old season, they will better equip us to face the challenges before us. God has been prepping us for our new adventure. So do not stress but enjoy the ride. God didn’t bring us through our last season to cut us loose, to go it alone without Him.


Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

  Be a Soldier! HCC

 

 

 

Stand up, stand up, be a soldier of the Cross

Of Christ. Stand up for the truth, stand up for

What is right. Where is it, you ask? Your Bible

Tells you so. All just written in the pages

Centuries, centuries ago. From the beginning

To the end, God is here with us. Our Savior,

Redeemer, friend, so kind and good he is to us.

Keep us strong and resolute, let us persevere

Each day. Keep looking to our Jesus; be soldiers

Of the Cross and read your Bible, yes, each day.
