Law of Redemption

Lev.25: 23,24 - “The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but aliens and sojourners with Me. Thus, for every piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.”

Jeremiah 32:7,8 - “Buy for yourself my field….for you have the right of redemption to buy it….you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours.”

Josh.1: 3,6 - “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you…Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.”

Nugget of Gold: The “Right of Possession” precedes the “Law of Redemption”. It is the Lord who gives us our inheritance - our land to possess. Thus, it belongs to us. This includes all that the Lord has promised to us individually- both spiritually and naturally.
To possess something means to have control of it. If we have lost that control through sin, carelessness, theft, or any other means, the Lord has promised to restore it (”bring back or put back to an original state; give back”) to us.

THIS IS A TIME OF RESTORATION!

We must get back what the enemy has stolen from us, and we accomplish this through the LAW OF REDEMPTION!

Prayer: Lord, You are our Redeemer. You have given us our inheritance, our possession in the land. In the Name of Jesus, by the Law of Redemption, I take back all that the enemy has stolen from me these past years. I claim my right of possession over my marriage, my children, my finances, my household goods, my job, my loved ones, my ministry, and all that you have given into my hands!

Harvest

This is a time to receive our harvest, and we’ll reap in two different ways:
FROM SEED THAT WE HAVE ALREADY SOWN:

Genesis 8:22 - “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest.”

Isaiah 55: 10,11 - “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”

A HARVEST GAINED BY ENTERING INTO THE LABOR OF OTHERS:

John 4:38 - “I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

Deut.6: 10,11 - “Then it shall come about when the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers….to give you great and splendid cities which you did not build, and houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant….”

Ecc.2: 26 - “For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that He may give to the one who is good in God’s sight.”

Nugget of Gold: It is time to call forth (by faith) the harvest that is appointed to us in each of our fields - marketplace, ministry, family, etc. The land, both spiritual and natural, must release its harvest to us from seed that we have faithfully sown (often, in tears). The land must also release that which the Lord Himself has decreed to come into our hands as “plunder” from the world and the world system. This money, land, and other material possessions will be used for His Kingdom purposes, and will be “sanctified through the word of God and prayer”, as well as giving.

EXPECT IT NOW!

Wanted to share this recent timely word from Chuck Pierce 06/09.

“I AM OPENING YOUR WAY: New Wars for New Blessings!”

You might want to print the following word from the Lord. I would encourage you to read it each day for a week. I believe the Lord is really attempting to encourage us with this revelation.

On a previous Sunday, I saw sovereign openings and opportunities coming to God’s people. However, I saw many leaning on their own understanding and mixing in their own desires, which brought leanness in their souls. I then heard the Lord say:

“I am opening up a way for you. I’m causing that which was closed yesterday to be opened today. Watch carefully for your opening! You won’t see all that I have for you in the beginning, but I am calling you to the other side. You must go through the opening when you see it form before you. You must make a move to go through! I have brought you to this hard place to make a move of faith. Today is your day of salvation. Move by faith and I will change the complexion of the other side where I’m sending you.

“We must work together at this time. I’ve been working to get the place open for you to go through, so step through and I will come and meet you on the other side. I sent the disciples forth at the right time and said, ‘You cross over.’ Then I came out on the water and walked to the boat. Today I say to you, ‘You make the move and I’ll meet you in days ahead, even in the times that seem rugged.’

“Watch for the sovereign opening that I am creating on your behalf. Be ready. Don’t make a list of what you are looking for on the other side. Just step through the opening! Your present demands are hindering the development of your future. Step through by faith! You are waiting in your own strength. Step out and mount up when I send the wind. Even adverse winds can cause you to rise through and into new places of victory.

I AM not working to give you strength for where you’ve been. I AM working to give you strength to step through and into a place that you cannot understand. Let My place open up, and step through into it. You will be offered an opportunity.”

“You Are Becoming My Weapon for Days Ahead”

“Some of you are trying to stay in the old war you’ve been in instead of hunting for your next war to get into. You’re trying to make sure you are healed up from the wounds of the old war instead of taking all that junk you learned in the last one and say, ‘Let it become my weapon in the future!’ Make a shift! Make a shift! Make a shift! For you are becoming My weapon for days ahead.

“Quit looking at the wars behind and start looking at what is ahead of you. Do not be afraid of the war ahead. Most of you will not be going back the way you’ve come. You keep trying to find your way back even when I am saying step through and into. When the way opens up, step through it. Don’t worry about going back.

“Many have even warred on the wrong side of My plan in the past season, but I am going to breathe on you and you will be transformed. Go through and into the new. You will forget the errors of the past and allegiance to the wrong side, and immediately find yourself on the correct side.

“You are anticipating the war ahead and it is creating a fear within you. What you have been through has already built within you the ability to go in and gain My victory. You are watching the resources on this side but you have not stepped into that which I have in days ahead. I will give you eyes to see how to take one and make a hundred, but I’m going to use different skills in you and I’m going to be creative with things that I have stored up.

“So step through! You are calculating with what you know you have, but I will multiply you with what you do not yet know of when you step through.”

“I Have Made Your Wounds From the Last Season Your Battle Ax for the Next Season”

“The evil eye has been stalking you in the last season. My eye will be guiding you as you go forth into this new season. Your wounds from the last season are causing you to stop short of the best I have ahead for you. These wounds are stopping you from warring for your promises in the new season. I have made your wounds from the last season your battle ax for the next season. You go and I will subdue! You go through and I will subdue! This is a redeeming window.

“I am going to buy back all of what you did wrong. I am going to buy back where you’ve been held captive. I am going to open up a way, and when you step through you’ll be hidden even from that past mess you were in. What is ahead might not be pretty or seem glorious in the beginning, but take advantage of this new opportunity and you can create the glory in the realm that I am calling you to experience.

“You’ve been marching in one army but I am transferring you to another. You’ve been marching to one beat and one drum but I am bringing a different sound and saying, ‘Now MARCH!’ Make your shift, and when you see the opening, go! You will be marching in a new way and I will set the course for your victory.

“I will be with you to open up supply. Let go of the supply storages from the past season that had to be sacrificed. Nothing that was sacrificed by a heart set on Me will be lost. Let go and watch a new plan for your storehouse arise. March on! New supply is on your road ahead.”

Blessings,

See below quote from great blog below with comments on the Days of Elijah. Timely for my post of 6/1/09.

Days of Elijah

I felt that I heard the Lord say today, “These are the days of Elijah.”

In 1Kings 17 & 18, we find the following with regard to Elijah’s life and ministry:

• Supernatural Provision: 1Kings 17:16 - “The bowl of flour was not exhausted, nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.”
• Raising the Dead: 1Kings 17:22
• Demonic Confrontations/Clashes of Power: 1Kings 18:20- God or Baal on Mt. Carmel!
• Fire of God: 1Kings 18:38 - “Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water…..” Also, we find in Malachi 4:1-6 - “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze…” “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord.”
• Signs in the Heavens: 1Kings 17:1 - “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”

Nugget of Gold: We have turned a corner in God’s prophetic timetable (see previous posting, “Turning Point” on May 26th) and we are now living in the days of miracles, signs, and wonders. Are we ready?

Prayer: Lord, may you complete the good work that You’ve begun in me so that I can be a “vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.” (2 Tim.2:21)

The word below is so timely for the 5/17/09 post on my website propheticwordofhope.com. The shift is taking place and mandated by our Lord. We need to be in a place of seeking the Lord and the place in which He wants us to move.  Denise

 Shift by Donna Potter 
  
Shift. God is speaking to us through His apostles and prophets about the shift that we need to make in order to enter into the new. A new wineskin is forming and if we do not shift, we are going to be captured in the old. How do we do that? How and what are we to shift?

We are anchored to our past trying to reach into our future and that is not going to work. It is an internal shift that we have to make. We have to let go of the past, the good, the bad and the ugly. We have to shift out of all negative emotions from the last season to enter the new. We must command our past to submit to our future. Many have been hurt emotionally, relationally, spiritually and physically. Hope deferred has set in. In these negative emotions, we have opened the door for the enemy to come in to effect every area of our lives through depression, oppression, anger, etc. Our emotions can resist the change that we need to make.

We must shift out of a fellowship focus into a war assignment. Fellowship is good, but if that is all we do, we will end up like the Israelis; we will be playing in the river while the enemy has sneaked up on us and ready to attack.

We must shift from a church thinking to Kingdom mentality It is the gospel of the Kingdom that will be preached before the end comes. There is a Kingdom and there is a King of that Kingdom and His Kingdom is coming and His will is being done and that causes great shaking of the world’s system…..and also of the church’s system if it is not aligned with His Kingdom.

We must shift into the market place. Only two percent (approximately) of Christians are behind a pulpit. That leaves 98 percent in the work place. Are we making a difference in our work place? The two percent are to be equipping the rest to do the work of the ministry outside the church and releasing them to do so. A church that does not release it’s people has a death structure around it. People die in the pews.

We must shift from crisis intercession to apostolic intercession. It is time to stop praying, excuse me here, but little pitiful prayers about us and begin to declare and decree the word of God! It is not about us, but it is about the Kingdom of God coming in this earth in power and authority and His will being done in the nations of this earth.

We need to shift from hope deferred to apostolic order.

We need to shift from a season of weariness to a new energy source and that is the joy of the Lord! His joy is our strength! Hallelujah!

There needs to be a generational shift. The next generation must take the mantle of war. If we fight their battles for them, we are taking the sword out of their hands.

We need to shift out of poverty mentality. Please. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly! We need to believe that and know that He really is talking to us.

So……….shall we shift? The time has come to choose. As the days become more and more evil, our future will be determined by the choices we make today, not only for us personally, but also for our families, our churches and our nation.

Father, help us to shift. We don’t want to be stuck in the past, so as we make a choice to release those who have rejected us, hurt us, left us, come and heal us. As we submit to you, give us a hearing heart so that we may hear you say “this is the path, walk in it!” Thank you for warning us that we need to shift in this season to be able to enter into what you are doing in this hour. Equip us, mold us, teach us to be Kingdom builders for your glory! amen.

Copied from the following website:

The Bench

Sit with me and let us talk of our Savior’s love. Sit with me and we shall discover His grace.
Go deeper than you have before. Go deeper for a greater anointing.

His love is supreme and inviting. It is filled with peace and joy.
Meditate day and night on this. Meditate to be like a tree planted.

Yes, planted by rivers of water to replenish and bring forth fruit.
Fruit for His kingdom; fruit for His service.

Prosperity is there for you to become filled in every area.
He is our provider and our King. He is our great I AM.

As you walk in His anointing and grace; as you push toward His mark.
Be ever thankful of His presence; be ever thankful of His love.

Praise Him in the morning, noon & night; give him all your glory and blessings.
As He will hear from heaven; he will know of your love and thankfulness.

Rejoice and be glad for all things; things great and small in your life.
If you are sorrowful just remember joy will come in the morning.

He will not leave you comfortless but fill you everyday.
As you leave your heart’s door open to receive Him.

Do not turn away when sin abounds but receive His forgiveness and mercy.
It will come in like a flood; it will cleanse you and make you whole again.

Yes whole to be at peace and receive His goodness and light.
Receive His bountiful blessings; receive His Holy Spirit to overflowing.

“Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law does he meditate day and night.  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.”
Psalms 1:1-3

Lyrics:

Avalon - If My People Pray Lyrics
Album: In A Different Light

Now is the season for healing
Deeply we need to see, God’s mercy revealing
Where we have fallen from his ways
For we know he gives hope to the humble,
gives light in the darkness, and grace when we stumble
Let us, call on His name, together, knowing he will say

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I’ve spoken
Come and seek my grace
Heaven will rain, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open…
If my people pray

Now is the day to awaken, to pray with conviction,
to the souls of the nation
(So) let us, call on His name
Whose faithful, promise still remain

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I’ve spoken (oo)
Come and seek my grace (seek ye and..)
Heaven will reign, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open…
If my people pray

Let us not grow weary as we wait for the day
When the Light turns our night into morning
All we need is to call your name
As we lift our hearts to Heaven (yeah)
Knowing You will say…

If my people pray
and reach for me with hearts, that are broken
I will not forget what I’ve spoken (oo)
Come and seek my grace (seek ye and…)
Heaven will reign, rivers of my grace, overflowing
Night and day my ears will be open…
If my people pray(oo)
If my people pray

Consider this commentary by Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the scripture reference in the Old Testament book of Habakkuk. Denise

Habakkuk must wait in faith. 

“Even in a ordinary way, God not only speaks to us by his word, but speaks in us by our own consciences, whispering to us, This is the way, walk in it; and we must attend to the voice of God in both. The prophet’s standing upon his tower, or high place, intimates his prudence, in making use of the helps and means he had within his reach to know the mind of God, and to be instructed concerning it. Those that expect to hear from God must withdraw from the world, and get above it, must raise their attention, fix their thought, study the scriptures, consult experiences and the experienced, continue instant in prayer, and thus set themselves upon the tower. His standing upon his watch intimates his patience, his constancy and resolution; he will wait the time, and weather the point, as a watchman does, but he will have an answer; he will know what God will say to him, not only for his own satisfaction, but to enable him as a prophet to give satisfaction to others, and answer their exceptions, when he is reproved or argued with. Herein the prophet is an example to us. 1. When we are tossed and perplexed with doubts concerning the methods of Providence, are tempted to think that it is fate, or fortune, and not a wise God, that governs the world, or that the church is abandoned, and God’s covenant with his people cancelled and laid aside, then we must take pains to furnish ourselves with considerations proper to clear this matter; we must stand upon our watch against the temptation, that it may not get ground upon us, must set ourselves upon the tower, to see if we can discover that which will silence the temptation and solve the objected difficulties, must do as the psalmist, consider the days of old and make a diligent search (Ps. 77:6), must go into the sanctuary of God, and there labour to understand the end of these things (Ps. 73:17); we must not give way to our doubts, but struggle to make the best of our way out of them.

When tossed and perplexed with doubts about the methods of Providence, we must watch against temptations to be impatient. When we have poured out complaints and requests before God, we must observe the answers God gives by his word, his Spirit, and providences; what the Lord will say to our case. God will not disappoint the believing expectations of those who wait to hear what he will say unto them. All are concerned in the truths of God’s word. Though the promised favour be deferred long, it will come at last, and abundantly recompense us for waiting. The humble, broken-hearted, repenting sinner, alone seeks to obtain an interest in this salvation. He will rest his soul on the promise, and on Christ, in and through whom it is given. Thus he walks and works, as well as lives by faith, perseveres to the end, and is exalted to glory; while those who distrust or despise God’s all-sufficiency will not walk uprightly with him. The just shall live by faith in these precious promises, while the performance of them is deferred. Only those made just by faith, shall live, shall be happy here and for ever. (Hab 1 & 2)”

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary

I would like to forward this call to pray for our Nation. It is imperative that we become vigilant, lift up our Nation to God, and to purify our hearts and turn to God.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14

HELLO BELOVED!  

The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the supernatural release of “AMERICA”. An actual breathed on move of God for the American Church and for the Love of America! My prayer is that we as Americans will be gripped with a love for America and for who we are as the Church of America. God is raising the bars of accountability and righteousness in the western church! This is something the Lord has been putting in my heart for some time now!!! That as we pursue Love and Righteousness as a people He will release a great spiritual and character acceleration within the Church of America! As we hold the line on Godly Character I truly believe that God will take us to a new level spiritually and quite literally physically, financially, mentally, and emotionally growth.

 

I am challenging ALL of my brothers and sisters in the Lord to openly pray for America for the next 60 days with a specific prayer focus for the “Word of the Lord to run swiftly and be glorified in America”!!!

Denise Mears

I was recently contacted by a visitor to my website who asked me for more clarity about the full armor of God.  (Posting: 4/27/09) The Word of God is where we will get our instruction to stand in this day. You are taking the lesson in Ephesians 6 and “applying” and “reapplying” His armor that is described in this passage. You must immerse yourself in His truth, strengthen your faith (by the reading of the Word), say faith-filled words from your mouth. Know in your heart who is our deliverer and that he has provided all we need to win the battle in the “unseen”.
 
We are living in the last days and our focus will need to be on the things of God; to seek his guidance for our life. He knows the plan he has for you personally and will guide you based on that master plan. Seek His will and His direction in prayer daily. He is faithful and will guide you unto all truth.

Weapons of Deadly Force

We are in a time of great spiritual battle.  We are fighting against the enemy to make the way for the return of our King and the establishment of His kingdom.  We know the war is already won and the victory assured in our Lord Jesus Christ.  But the enemy will not concede defeat until his final confrontation with the King of kings.  Until then, we are called to hold our Blood-bought positions and advance forward as and when directed by our Lord of Hosts.  As we sense in our spirit the acceleration of the birthing pangs and the ever increasing nearness of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ,  so too does the enemy.  We who love the Lord are now operating in a sense of jubilation expecting His glorious appearing.  As our joy in His nearness becomes stronger and louder with every tick of the clock, the enemy grows increasingly angry and miserable for it is with great anger and dread that he anticipates this event.  True to his mission to kill, steal, and destroy, the enemy has unleashed his forces armed with weapons of deadly force.  His intent is to kill or render useless in battle as many as possible in hopes that he can somehow thwart the Lord’s plans.  But, the Lord shall not taste of defeat.  As it is written so shall it be…Hallelujah!

Even so, the Lord would not have His ignorant of the devices of the enemy.  Nor would He leave you unarmed against those of the enemy who attack with intent to kill.  You have an arsenal of deadly weapons available for your use.  It is time to arm yourself and defend your positons.  You are part of a well-trained elite militia of the Lord of Hosts.  The forces you face carry deadly weapons of which they have no training or legal right to use.  This only increases the danger that lurks for these bearers of enemy arms may appear somehow less dangerous, but in fact, deadly weapons in these wrong hands are even more destructive.  The Lord is saying to hold your positions and take out all of the enemy’s armed forces that come against you.  Leave none standing to come back and attack you another day.

Your strategy and weapons are found in Ephesians 6 (AMP):

 

   ¹⁰In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].    ¹¹Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 

    ¹²For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

    ¹³Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

    ¹⁴Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,

    ¹⁵And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.

    ¹⁶Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

    ¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit ^]wields, which is the Word of God.

    ¹⁸Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).
