On Fire Now

A Call to Directed Intercessory Prayer

2006-08-12T10:48:00.000-07:00

This happened to me this morning and I must share it with you. I was praying early this morning just hanging out in the Fathers Court and all of a sudden I was taken to the very upset territory of Lebanon. What I saw was very interesting. I saw key leaders of the group called Hezbollah. What I saw was anxiousness and confusion on their faces. Some of the people felt that they were dying for their god and feel it is a good cause. I asked the Lord, why'd you bring me here? He said, " there is confusion here, some of the leaders are reconsidering their allegience to their god and searching for other answers." "NOW is the time to pray for their true salvation, for their healing in their souls and spirits and for true restoration that only I can bring them." There is confusion in the enemys camp and there is a huge opportunity to get rid of the spirit of terror that so obviously works in this region.
This has been on my heart pretty heavy today and thought I would place a call to prayer for this region and for these key leaders. This type of thing has never happened to me before and must say it was pretty awesome!

God's Richest Blessing on you all.

The Wheels of Life

2006-08-08T22:31:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the blog thing won't go away THAT easy!

2006-07-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

Life can be very interesting can't it?

I mean, it can be reaaaal easy at times and things are great! And then life throws you a curve ball, the road gets rough and things can all of a sudden seem very tough!

I view the rough times as serious opportunity for growth! But only if we allow the growth to take place.

Living for Christ is pretty awesome! Even in the rough times, because of the promises that HE has given to us!!! Promises for victory, freedom, healing and restoration!

Also, there is a part of me that is now beginning to realize that when we have done something wrong and or harbor stuff inside of us that become a block in our relationship, God will stir things up a bit to bring us face to face with that which is bothering us....Not so that HE can watch us suffer, but rather that we might deal with whatever it is! Once we make the decision to go through it, rather than try to stuff it down into the deep recesses of our hearts, we begin to experience growth and FREEDOM! And oh what an awesome feeling that is!!

It has been some serious prep time for alot of people lately, people we know and love have been growing through some tough stuff. I have gone through it and am currently growing through it all....at times as I grow through things its fun and easy and other times difficult and scary! But, I have learned to hang on to the promises that God has given to me and that in itself is a real learning curve in the midst of goofy stuff that I go through....

Well....enough for now.

Take care.
God's Many blessings and revelation to you all.

Best regards,

Alex :-)

--Born with ears to hear--

2006-07-06T12:20:00.000-07:00

"The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears and I have not been rebellious, I have not drawn back."
-Isaiah 50:4-5

When we meet with God in prayer, when we behold his face, when we hear his voice, just who or what are we actualy encountering? My believe, based on Scripture, Christian tradition and personal experience, is that in listening prayer, we meet none other than Jesus Christ, the voice of the living God.

"The man who enters by the gate is the shepard of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him becasue they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him becasue they do not recognize a strangers voice...I am the good shepard; I know my sheep and my sheep know me...just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep."
John 10:2-5, 14-15.

The Lord is talking about his voice: he has one. He uses it. He speaks. His sheep---those who have ears to listen---hear it, know it, and follow it.

The Warrior Nation--The New Sound of The Church

2006-06-30T10:04:00.000-07:00

Rick Joyner: "The Warrior Nation--The New Sound of The Church"

A New Trumpet Sound It will take the focus, discipline, and faith of true warriors to fight the good fight of faith in our time, but the sound of the trumpet is now being heard, and the gathering of the last-day army is now taking place. The church will retreat no further before the enemies of the truth, but will be the champion of truth, the true freedom fighter that she is called to be.

As stated, as the church begins to take on this resolve, they will start to be thought of more as military bases, and they will begin to take on the characteristics of military bases for training, equipping, and deploying effective spiritual forces. In time, the church will actually be organized more as a military force with an army, navy, air force, etc. These, too, will all learn to function together in harmony, protecting one another and helping each other exploit opportunities. Like these, we will begin to organize more around function and purpose, than the doctrinal emphases that now often characterize movements and groups within the church.Along with the coming martial discipline and demeanor, as the time of trouble increases, the soldiers of the cross will become known for their love and unshakable peace in the midst of crisis.

They will bring love, peace, and stability wherever they go. They will be the true freedom fighters and the true champions of the oppressed who fight to set men free from the most terrible yokes of bondage of all--sin and all of its consequences.The TransitionHow is this going to happen practically? There are already many movements, missionary organizations, and even some churches, which are beginning to make this transition, even though they may not have thought about it in these terms.

Leaders are starting to gather around common purpose and function, rather than just doctrinal emphases. As this happens, doctrines that once seemed to conflict with each other will begin to be seen as complementary. For those who keep the higher purpose of the Kingdom in their hearts and motives, this transition will be easy.For others, it will not be quite as easy, but it will be done. As the nations mobilized for past World Wars, those who had been regular citizens became great warriors when they realized the great evils that were seeking to dominate the world. Likewise, Christians will soon awaken to the much greater evil and threat that we face now, than the world faced in the last century.

Many will consider it better to pay any price, even death, than to give in to the tyranny that now threatens the world. It is better to die standing for truth, than to live under a lie.The seriousness of our purpose as soldiers of the cross, will become much more pronounced with all true Christians in the time ahead.
Instead of the pursuit of careers or material comforts being the primary goal of believers, fighting for truth will become the main focus and goal of our lives. Christ-likeness, and doing the works He called us to do, will become the true measure of the success of our lives. Just as a soldier does not entangle himself in the everyday affairs of this life, the true soldiers of the cross will live the most simple lives, and give themselves to the things that are eternal, not temporary.

Women and Children--the Emerging Soldiers and Leaders
Women and children will be some of the principle soldiers and leaders in this coming militarization of the church.

As it has been said, "If men can be a part of the bride of Christ, women can be a part of the army of God."

From the time of the resurrection of Christ, when the men hid in fear, women courageously went to His grave to seek Him. Women will arise who will risk all for the sake of His gospel. The women who went to His tomb remained faithful, even though it looked as if truth had been completely defeated.
They were therefore blessed with the great honor to first take up the apostolic commission to be witnesses of His resurrection. Courageous women have always been on the front line of the battle between light and darkness, and will be so until the end.However, women will not have to become masculine to take their rightful place in His army.

In fact, a big part of the initial battle that must be waged, is for men to be restored as true men, and women to be restored as true women. When this happens, the whole world will take notice, being strongly drawn to the true men and true women who have thrown off the confusion, which has sought to blur the distinctions between men and women. This blurring of the distinctions that God made is a root of the great and increasing confusion now dominating the world.

However, true men are secure enough not to have to dominate and be controlling, but will always treat women and all other people, with the dignity and respect that is due them. True men will soon arise, and true women with them, will walk in all of the dignity and respect that the children of the King of kings should conduct themselves, and show to one another. The world will marvel and esteem them.

A New SoundEven though the leadership of the church is presently almost 90 percent male, there has been such a feminization of the church, that most men do not feel comfortable in it, are bored with it, and do not want to be a part of it. If they do, it is often done grudgingly out of religious duty because they simply do not feel that they have a place in it. This is why such a majority of churchgoers are women. Men, even those who love the Lord, and would love to be used by God, often do not like church, and will do just about anything to keep from going to church.

In general, the church as it is today, does not speak to many of the most basic needs of men. This is one reason for the remarkable popularity of mens movements that rose up outside of the church.To be the church we are called to be, we must have the faith to radically change the present definition and organization, to be both feminine and masculine, meeting the needs of, and speaking to, both men and women.

Both men and women should feel at home in the church, and know quickly how they fit into it. Church should be the most exciting, exhilarating, and challenging association that we could ever be a part of. It will be so again, soon.Mega-Church RedefinedWhen the church embraces its true calling and begins to reflect its true nature, it will become the most esteemed and desirable nation on earth. It will become so strikingly different, that it will be thought of, and will in fact be, a nation within the nations.

The churches which make the transition that is coming, will quickly swell in numbers, and needs to be prepared by raising up captains of tens, hundreds, and thousands.We need to be prepared to serve and incorporate unprecedented numbers without compromising the essence of who we are called to be. This will be no small undertaking and can only be accomplished by the Holy Spirit. This is beyond any human organization and leadership. The Lord will be the Head of His church, andthose who do not know or submit to His Headship, will not last long in the times ahead.With the meltdown of the family being one of the biggest problems of our time, the church will become the family that it is called to be. Christian families will then start to become what they are supposed to be. With the coming great emphasis on discipline, there will also be a great emphasis on relationships, especially to strengthen families and to resist every assault that is coming against them.

The church will soon become all that she is called to be. When the church does, she will be the most attractive and compelling society found on the earth, a true reflection of the coming Kingdom.

Airline Humor

2006-06-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

Airline Humor

1. On a Southwest flight (which has no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, “People, people, we're not picking out furniture here – find a seat and get in it!”

2. On a Continental flight with a very “senior” flight attendant crew, the pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.”
3. On landing, the stewardess said, “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have.”
4. “There may be fifty ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this airplane!”
5. “Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”
6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Ronald Reagan, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: “Whoa, big fella. WHOA!”
7. From a Southwest Airlines employee: “Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised.”
8. ”In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.”

THE ROAR

2006-04-02T16:36:00.000-07:00

THE ROAR

Shortly after I had turned in for the night, I felt the urge to pray and during this process, my mind and heart went to the place that frequently I encounter the presence of our Lord and Saviour...

Last night was Awesome! It started out while I was praying, during my prayer my eyes looked up on the horizon and could see someone coming in my direction, coming up a pathway that my feet were firmly standing on, as this person got closer HE began to wave @ me and as he got even closer he stretched HIS arms out as if a bear hug was in order, a few feet away, HE called out my name and it was @ that moment in my heart I knew who this was...I turned to the side and put my head down, feeling humble, maybe even a bit ashamed...and HE put his arms around me and gave me a huge ol hug and tears began to stream down my face, both in my prayer place and in my bed...and I felt HIM begin to weep with me and HE began to speak into my life, HE began to declare and I asked, "What are you doing?" HE said, "I am speaking into your destiny!"

The feeling was overwhelming and very secure...it was indeed an awesome experience! I opened my eyes to the darkness of my room and there stood a LION next to my bed, HE looked at me and turned HIS head and tilted it upward and let out an earth shattering "ROAR!"

It's difficult to say what happened to me at THAT moment because it sent shivers all the way down to my feet...the roar of victory, salvation, deliverance, freedom and POWER! He looked back at me only at that time I realized HE had more than one set of eyes.....

THE ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH!!!

God's richest blessing on all who read this...

May God continue to impart HIS POWER and Blessing on you...

May there be tremendous increase...

May there be continued FREEDOM!!!

--Alex :-)

Can be tough

2006-02-24T08:46:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody...

learning to walk in freedom, learning to walk in forgiveness can be a very difficult thing @ times...there have been a couple discoveries in this effort...a couple of things that may have the power to hold us back from Forgiveness to Freedom...
1. pride
2. pain
pride is a tough one because it comes in many different forms and does NOT care if you are fat, skinny, rich, or poor....pride, by design, will hold you back...it's amazing when we come face to face with pride, especially when we are dealing with forgiveness...
pain, a big one...pain, i've discovered, can hold you back 'if' you don't deal with it, and believe me, the longer you wait to deal with the pain, the harder it can become...kind of like having a bandage on toooooooo long...you get the idea....can be very tender...very painful....no fun...
but to learn to walk it out, and it is something we cannot do on our own, we need God's help in this...

--Alex

Learning to walk in forgivness/ learning to walk in freedom!

2006-02-12T20:42:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody.

I have a few questions:

Have you ever wandered around in life, make friends only to have that person, or those people HURT you?

Indeed, its a really tough place to be...and be there we must...

But there is a very real truth that has been coming to me lately and that is learning to walk in forgiveness. Not only when we learn to do this, we begin to walk in FREEDOM! And I don't know about you, but walking in freedom is far more fun and easier (at times) than walking with this huge load of frustration on our shoulders.

Luke 17:3-10 "We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty (when we forgive).

Forgive those offending you:
MK 11:25-26 "Forgive if you have aught againt any, else God won't forgive you.'

If YOU have offended someone:
Matt. 5:23-24 "For God to acctp your gift, you are required to go and be reconciled to your brother."

God wants Forgivess from the Heart:
Matt. 18:35 "You will be turned over to the tormentors if you do not forgive from your heart."

Learning to walk in forgivess brings you freedom and eventually JOY!
Yes, JOY!

That was on my heart and just had to share it with you all..

Blessings to you all.

Pondering

2006-01-24T14:10:00.000-08:00

Have you ever sat and pondered?

Just for no apparent reason other than being totally bored?! And all of a sudden God's voice speaks to you?!

NO! Me either...
just kidding....I was doing just that today...kinda spacing out when God says, "Ja doin?"
I say, "Nuttin"
or something to that affect...then He speaks some things into my life...it's so awesome when things like that happen...not that I sit and space out alot, but when God takes the time to talk to you...:-)

I really enjoyed seeing everybody on saturday...that was great!
Keep Deena & I in prayer, we are still very exhausted from what happened to me...pray for a couple of things:

1. Good health
2. Our marriage ( to continue to grow)
3. finances ( which is really strained right now )
4. just the need for strength.

Love you all...

Hello there in blog land

2006-01-19T14:32:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody.
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your prayers for me for the past few months. The doctors have not been able to find out what is wrong with me as of yet, but you know, personally, they probably won't find out what is wrong with me.
I have discovered two things recently:

1. the devil don't like me
2. i don't like hospitals

in that order...lol

thanks again all...
see you @ church.

--alex

2006-01-19T13:03:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to start out by saying, "Thank you!"
Thank you for visiting me and praying for me while I was in the hospital...it is greatly appreciated.
It is our hope that the doctors finally have it figured out as to what I have....

The healing process is slow ahead, but ahead we go!

Hello.

Boy, it's been a while since I've posted. Anyhow, things are going much better now!

For you see, I have been sick for like 5 weeks and the last week landed me in the hospital, it was all quite interesting...my system, my body, started to shut down...the doctors could not find out why, though, there has been tremendous Revelation as to why this took place and the timing of it all...

I thank the Lord that during these times He still speaks to us...while I was fighting for my life, all I could hear Him say is, "Alex, Just Rest In Me." And through this whole ordeal Deena had an awesome peace that all was going to be okay...and they are getting better now...I have been home for two weeks now, the first week was kind of difficult, but there has been tremendous progress.

Thank you all for your prayers and your love.

In His Service,

Alex :-)

2005-04-02T12:10:00.000-08:00

Greetings to everybody.

About the Friday night ministry, outreach, evangelism thing...it will happen, it is just that all week long, I sensed a check in my spirit about this last Friday, so I called it off, and am praying for and about this....I would encourage you to do the same,

We have been placed strategically to do this, and we have a place to participate in this and in the area of prayer...we need to saturate this in prayer.....do you know what I mean????

This morning, Saturday went pretty well, I was the only one there and Bill and Will showed up and we discussed what is going on and our encouragement is for you to continue in this area of outreach....

Know this, we appreciate all of you and feel you have a whole lot to contribute to this area of evangelism...

In Him...

Held Captive

2005-03-13T19:07:00.000-08:00

Greetings to all my friends in blog land.

I was literally @ a lock in this past weekend. I was on a Scout Camp out with my two oldest boys...My plans were to come into to town Sat., Morn, but much to my surprise, was not able to leave the camp ground, due to the fact that the gate was LOCKED! No phone service, no way to communicate to anybody. My apologies to those who showed up for outreach.

This next saturday is on for sure...pray that God will have HIS way with this outreach.

Question...would you all like a teaching on sharing your faith? Let me know.

---Alex........:-)

A Holy Ghost Invasion! ! !

2005-02-22T07:10:00.000-08:00

A HOLY GHOST INVASION

Now is the time to continue to press in to all that God has for us!!!!! I keep hearing the words, "NOW!!!!"

It is in this day and this hour that YOU were created! You were created this day to move mountains! To lay hands on the sick and you will see them recover. You will cast out demons. You will pray for the deaf and they will hear. YOU will pray for the blind and they will see. You will pray for the dumb and they will speak. You will pray for the lame and they will walk...

It is this day that the Lord is going to move SUDDENLY! We will experience a Holy Ghost Invasion!

Like those found in ACTS chapter 2.

"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly, a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what appeared to tongues of FIRE that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Hoy Spirit and BEGAN, (note, nowhere in the word of God does it indicated that they stopped) to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."

Later on in the same chapter Peter stood up to address the crowd,

"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams..."

As you continue to move closer to OUR Father in heaven, more and more will HE reveal to you your calling and destiny to proclaim and to prophesy...to speak into....to call forth life, to proclaim into others and into your own life as well!

He has sent you to bind up the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD'S favor...

Now is the time to press in, press on and experience all that God has for you....

It is time....

=Alex

Thank you

2005-02-15T15:11:00.000-08:00

Just a quick 'THANK YOU!!!'

To those of you who were able to make it out to last Saturdays outreach we did @ the Wal-mart Parking lot.

What a blast it was and a true blessing as we are in the beginning phase of what God has planned for this area of mininstry.

I am planning another outreach event for this Saturday Morning.

If you can make it, we will meet @ the church from 8:00 am to get ready and leave around 8:15 ish for Wal=mart.

If you can make it that would be most excellent!!!!

--Alex

ps.

Let me know if you can make it this weekend....

:-)

The best Valentine....

2005-02-11T23:39:00.000-08:00

The best Valentine EVER!!!!!

Sending a early "Valentine" to see if it will make it around the world by Feb. 14th.

"For God so loV ed the world,
That He gA ve

T hat whosever

But have E verlasting life."

John 3:16

The Plan

2005-02-10T10:21:00.000-08:00

Okay.

So here 's the plan.

Tonight. Thursday evening, 7pm @ the church, if you are interested in participating in outreach and evangelism, we are having a short planning meeting.
Jim Gifford has agreed to teach in this area for about 15-20 min., and from there we will discuss what is going to happen on Saturday Morning.

Yes, Saturday morning...1-2 hours of outreach.

Please, be there this evening if you want to be a part of this.

ps.

this is just a starting point.
as i am planning on bringing another group to hit the streets so to speak as well.

=Alex

Strategically Placed!

2005-02-05T23:59:00.000-08:00

STRATEGICALLY PLACED!

God is going to show His glory forth-through our weaknesses- He WILL be glorified and lifted up!
He WILL be exalted!!
Not a man lifted up, BUT the Lord Jesus Christ - through an army of believers- the young and the old - the hurt, the wounded, the rejected sheep - those whom He's prepared for such a time.

Those whom he's placed for such a time- in strategic places - the unknowns - those that need to rely on him to stand, to speak, to sing, to go forth.... whom He's prepared- to STAND!!.. to follow His lead and not be persuaded by man or religion.

IT'S HERE!!

The ARMY IS arisen!

ALL to HIS glory Praise HIS name. Praise him! Praise him!

It's those who don't feel capable but KNOW God CAN!! The reliance is on HIM and not on any of the flesh's ability - but through HIM - whom we have our being and life!! LIFE SHALL spring forth, readily - speedily!!
The banks over flood with more of him. HIS Spirit flowing freely..., and flooding out into the streets, overtaking cites - bringing LIFE!!!
LIFE more abundantly!!

LIFE - I speak forth LIFE - I call you forth! Rivers overflow!! Yes, Have your way Lord.
CALL FORTH LIFE! CALL FORTH LIFE! CALL FORTH LIFE!!

I am overflowing the banks of the churches - into the streets it shall flow. And wherever it goes, life SHALL flourish! And fruit SHALL abound. My hearts cry SHALL be heard. My people are taking the land. MOVE forward! It's time! Time to take the land. The harvest is plentiful.

REJOICE! REJOICE! REJOICE for great is your reward.

The light is going- even now- it's penetrating the darkness. It's making a path before you. See it now- It's right there. Follow it and I'll go before you making a way. Look not to the right of what was- Look not to the left of what is now.. Look not behind you at what was...but look before you to what is to come. Go forward to what is to become, because it is I. It is now. The doors are open. I've made it clear before you, as long as you rely on me. Keep your eyes on me. Follow me.

I will be the plower - the door opener - for have not I ALREADY opened the door. IT'S OPEN! It's before you, but many are distracted and led astray by the cares of today, and of the worries of tomorrow... and stuck in the hurts of yesterday... to move forward... that cloud comes up from within of darkness that obscures the Son.. I said MY SON.. from shining brightly, and blocks the clear view of the horizon- of what I am doing. Look even now - on the horizon - the SON HAS Risen!!

Your things I have ordained of you, are mine to bring to pass-just do what I ask - when I ask- don't worry about yesterday. Don't worry about tomorrow of the what if's or who may be offended because your stepping out. Look to the SON that HAS Risen upon you. Don't worry about How it will ALL be accomplished... know that I WILL do it- as you step in obedience.

There are angels sent forth.. way ahead of you in time... they are in the time before you, making a way... walk ye in it. They are way ahead of you... preparing a way- preparing a people. What is needed WILL be there at that time.

Money will come forth as needed. You won't need to beg, borrow, or plead- only share your heart- My heart. And I have the money!! As needed... as needed... things WILL be supplied to you, even before a need comes- or an area I want you to branch out into... It WILL be there. I WILL be THERE... as long as you walk in obedience to my voice.

There is much to come forth. You won't have to force it.. cry to me and I will, and already have dispatched angels. I AM! And I ALWAYS SHALL BE! LOOK UPON ME. There's a place- there's a place.. I have prepared for you. Rejoice for I AM! and I AM BEFORE you.
It's not a name- It's not a church. It's me. My name WILL be lifted up and exalted. The fruit is abounding -my fruit- good fruit. Do not worry. Do not fear. Stay focused on Me.

There are many people I have prepared even today - I say to you as you step out - in love! Love is the key! - just reflect my love.. Don't worry because NOT all will accept you, some are going to reject you, and even come against you... because you're going against the grain of religion... but know I have those who you now know and some you have not yet met.

I am calling out the obscure - and I will bring those that are equipped to teach and help...and those who WILL grow rapidly into their gifts. There are connection already made in heaven that are yet to come - It will not all be on your shoulders (as individuals), but your team of many, and it WILL grow.

There will be College students. They will be young... of all ages...the young and old.. this isn't about age, but it's about hearts. Those that desire me- to know me. They'll be ALL ages- as they are all my children, and many have only needed a safe place to heal, and giftings pulled out, to be encouraged. And there are those that I have took through the wilderness and have prepared them to move forward and take the land- to take my people deeper into the promise land.

You'll, (when I say you- I mean ministries- team members and those that will come out of you-My people), You will be breakers. It's not one- it's many. I'll be brought into the schools- into colleges, I'm going to the streets through you- There is a release bursting forth now- coming down upon you- your streets- my people-

that have been strategically placed.

Don't Argue With Children....???!!!

2005-02-05T23:47:00.000-08:00

DON’T ARGUE WITH CHILDREN

A girl passed an old man's house on the way to Sunday School.
One day the old man said, "Why do you always go to Sunday school? All they tell you is ridiculous fairy tales!"
So the little girl replied, "Like what?"
"Well," the old man said, "like that story about Jonah and the giant fish. Do you really believe that that could happen?"
"I don't know, but when I get to heaven I'll ask him."
The old man said, "Well, what if Jonah's not there?"
"Then you can ask him."

the little girl replied.

Participation & Obedience

2005-01-22T09:08:00.000-08:00

An AWESOME thing begins to happen when we simply learn to obey what God is saying to us.
When God says, "Prophesy!" And we speak into a persons life. What happens??

God is calling us to prophesy to the crack addict, the young satanists and gang leaders. Prophesy to them that they may live!!.

God will mine treasures out of darkness and out of their graves will rise to lead the most stunning return to righteousness America has ever seen!

There is a Lazarus Generation coming!
There will be a an army of consuming zeal and a witness so shocking that the most aware churchperson will be caught completely off guard.

Who is this Lazarus Generation?
They are the elite of Satan's seething, wrenching, "kill America" machine.
In mid stride, the power of the Holy Ghost will fall on them. Satan will reel in horror to have lost these trophies.

We must be ready to greet and guide these young lions.
For they will have a fanatical love for God. "Gratitude from the grave" is what we will be looking at. They will be a militant army for God, and they will need to be trained, guided and mentored.

There is a fresh fire coming! We must be ready and willing to participate in all that God has for us.

Love you all.

Alex

Greetings to everyone!!!!

2005-01-19T22:33:00.000-08:00

Hello all.

it was good to see you all at TAG the other night.

On friday, I had to go and have my wisdom teeth removed as well as two others that were damaged by my wisdom teeth. After the surgery I felt fine, Saturday it was all good.

Sunday!!!!! the word OUCH does not even touch the pain my face was in....(ha ha)
It really hurt at the jaw bone.

Now, things are getting back to, um, normal???...Things are getting better. God, during this time has been downloading some pretty neat things in my heart, most of which I am praying and meditating on. In time, it will be shared with you all.

I really apprecaite all your prayers and your love.
Thank you.

Prophetic, Power Evangelism

2005-01-02T15:55:00.000-08:00

Prophetic and Evangelism?
When these two collide watch what happens!

Lets take a look at what happened to good ol' Ezek...

God took Ezekiel into the valley of dry bones.

The asked Ezek..."Can these bones live?"
The prophet new this was a test and he must answer honestly.

Ezekiel answered humbly, "Only you know, O Lord."

Although this man of God stood in the very presence of Jehovah, he could not imagine such a miracle.

What God did next was amazing and awesome.

He issued a command to Ezekiel.
"Prophesy to these bones that they may live."

Out of obedience and faith Ezekiel prophesied, not out of faith but from something greater. What was it?

This cuts to the heart of the most cruicial spiritual issue of our day. For years we have glorified faith as the single cause of miracles. Faith is extremely important but another principle can launch us beyond even what our faith can conceive the miracle of dry bones.

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nore ear heard, nore have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
(I Cor. 2:9)

This mighty principle is called obedience. When Ezekiel obeyed and prophesied, a firece rattling began. Muscle, sinue and skin formed out of nowhere. Suddenly there stood an exceedingly powerful army.

Prophesy!! God is saying.
to the crack addicts, the teenager who is seemingly lost all hope, to the young satanist, to the gang leaders.

Prophesy that they may live!!!!

There is a Lazarus Generation coming!
We MUST participate in the movement of God's Mighty Grace!

Wow!

More to come in the next blog....

Alex

THE LAZARUS GENERATION

2004-12-22T09:21:00.000-08:00

Make no mistake...
God is preparing such a move that those whose lives is that of living on the street will be radically changed...they will have such power encounters that NONE can deny it.

Some call this next wave of people coming in, 'THE LAZARUS GENERATION'

In many american cities there are hellholes where the ray of hope never shines. The U.S. is home to a wretched generation of violent orphans.

These orphans start out as children subjected to a lethal mixture of shattered families, a cynical culture, and a ready access to guns.

The jaded, grinding, hollow look in their eyes is a testament of national shame.

Has Satan ever brutalized a generation more?

A word is coming forth out of all this, 'THE LAZARUS GENERATION.'
"They're coming!", God promises.

'But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nore ear heard, nor have entered into athe heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love HIM.' (I Corinthians 2:9 NKJ).

In my next blog I will continue with the Ezekiel experience, in the valley of dry bones...
kewl deal....

Lets get ready to participate in all that God has for us!!!!

The True Meaning Of Christmas

2004-12-20T20:56:00.000-08:00

Greetings to all in blog land.

Let us not forget...
What the true meaning of Christmas is...
It is (( NOT )) necessarily all the gift giving and running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to find that perfect gift....
hhmmm....

Let us not forget it is about the birth of our Lord and Saviour!!!!

And it is my belief that in the hearts of many people this season, there is going to take place many new births in the hearts and lives...a God thing...the best gift of all will be received....
How exciting!!!

May God Bless You All This Christmas Season!!!

Hey there all,

it was sure great to see you all at TAG the other evening.

I saw something that needs to be shared....There were a couple of words I heard,

"Back building"
"Immersed!!!"

There is another wave coming and right now it is backing building. Another wave of the Spirit!!!! And when it hits those of you that are hungry and seeking will be totally immersed....immersed in the power of the holy spirit....

God is stirring up the hunger in you...a hunger for more than what you have right now...and there will be alot of awesome changes taking place.....both in the natural and the supernatural.....

How exciting....get ready folks.....a new wave is on its way!!!!!

And God wants to speak through and use you for the power of HIS might!!!

We covet your prayers

2004-10-20T13:21:00.000-07:00

Greetings everyone.

Tomorrow, Thursday, My family and I are traveling to the Sacramento area to visit my brother in law. We plan to spend the weekend with him and his family, for you see in about two weeks he is being sent to Iraq. He is in the service and the current plans are for him to be there for up to one year.

So, please, we would simply ask that you keep him and his family in your prayers. His name is Steve. One year is a long time to be away from the U.S. and from his family.

Pray for us for safe travels.

We won't be @ tag this weekend.

We love you all.

A State of Confusion

2004-09-09T13:32:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had one of 'those' moments???

Where, right from the moment you get out of bed, things just seem to be off kilter....great band by the way.

Your timing on the things you say, the things you do, the way you type....just all seem to be off.

You look in the mirror and get scared, a momentary feeling...ha ha.

Well, that is me today.

Feel as though I have moved to this new state.

The State of Confusion.

Let me know if you have ever visited this state.

bye for now.

The Only Constant In This World

2004-09-07T13:20:00.000-07:00

CHANGE

Interesting if you stop to think about it.

Just stopping to think?? Well, let's not go down THAT road.

The only constant in this world is CHANGE.

No matter how hard we try to make something stay the same, things, 'CHANGE'.

And its true, though things may change around us on a constant basis, the word of God stays the same!
The promises give to you and to me, stay the same.

The bible says that Our Lord Never Changes. How kewl is that.

I also love statements made by presidents of old, (Abraham Lincoln).

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."

Key word for the day, 'Change!'

Lets be Thankful....

2004-08-31T11:17:00.000-07:00

LETS BE THANKFUL...

The other evening the opportunity was given for me to share @ food ministry.
The thought that came to mind was 'Thankfulness.'

Lets be thankful for what God has done for us thus far. And to realize that the task at hand is just the beginning, because there are those of us that feel that the open heaven here on the central coast we are experiencing is just the, 'beginning'.

I shared one of my favorite scriptures found in THE WORD...

"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, which is full of distraction, anger, hatred, hurt, pain, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON..."

He did that for ME.

For that, I am thankful. To realize that there is NOTHING I can DO, or have to do to be saved. It is by God's grace and gift for each of us...No, I don't have to walk on my knees for a hundred miles to be accepted by God. I don't have to dress a certain way to be accepted by God.

All I have to do is accept what he done for me, so that I can have everlasting life....here, now, today.

So, lets be thankful....:-)

The Older We Get

2004-08-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

The Older I get

Isn't it weird to think that the older we get, if we are not atuned to what is going on in the world of electronics we can get left behind.

With that thought in mind, it is funny to think I know everything about computers. When in reality, I do not. It is easy enough to learn, and learn the hard way at times, but that in no way makes me an expert and try not to act that way.

It is difficult when dealing with someone who is more ignorant than me though.
THAT is a hard pill to swallow at times.But to realize that if we are not kept up on the new updates in the electronic world, we can be left behind.

Is that good? Is it bad? I am not certain at this time. But it is interesting.

The blog-myster.

Have a blog filled day

2004-08-16T14:49:00.000-07:00

Hello my fellow bloggers.

Thank you for your comments to my last we -blog. it was very enlightening....ha ha.

well, just thought i would check in on my blogs...ya'll take care now ya here???!!!

--Alex the blog-a-nator

I figured out what blog means?

2004-08-10T16:40:00.000-07:00

Where did the term "blog" come from, as I sit here pondering that thought, some very in depth research was done on the subject. Here's the deal.

"Blog" roots came from the term, "web-log".

Is'nt that cool?! Okay, maybe not that kewl, but interesting. A way to log conversations and thoughts, queary, quibble, and comments.

Quibble???? Now theres an interesting word....what DOES quibble mean? Not sure, you may have to look that one up for yourself.

Have a blogilistic day!!!

Not On My Watch

2004-07-30T13:11:00.000-07:00

1 Timothy 4
Instructions to Timothy

"1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."

A warning word has come forth in the past week, and that is the enemies camp there is unrest and a new attack on the body has been launched.

God spoke the word to me in a dream, "Seducing Spirits."

In the dreams were the leaders of the body and how the enemy is trying to infiltrate the front line.

There is now a group of us now interceding for those leaders on the front line.
It is no surprise to me that the enemy will try a stunt like this, but my friend, it will be to no avail!!!

Why???

Because there is a stirring, a Holy Stirring that Only God could have started.

So, pray for the front line leaders of the body, pray God's covering, protection and wisdom and discernment in these last days!!!

Look - Listen - Smell

2004-07-19T22:37:00.000-07:00

This word I received the other night at T A G.

T A G....such a great name!

"Listen, in the distance. It's the sound of rain.

Look for my coming! I am coming to you in power and in might in these last days.

The smell of latter rain. The smell of the new anointing is almost here. Be prepared! I have formed you, I have fashioned YOU for this very hour, to take in and to give what you have received.

Do Not hold back!
Do Not hold back!

Call out to me with a loud voice, with a great shout, Declare this day that, 'I am your God.'

God is calling us,

Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Do not hold back
Do not hold back
Come closer
Listen for my voice,
See what I am doing.

The shower of blessings are here...
Look
Listen
Smell
I am preparing to rain - reign on the earth once again.
To reign with a new power.
a new authority in you my people.

Come forth
Taste and see that I AM GOOD.
Take and give
Take and give.
Do not be afraid, for I have prepared a way where there seems to be no way.

ASK of me and I WILL show you great and mighty things which you knowest not! ( you don't even know ).

Everything is in place - come to me now with an attitude of expectancy."

Woe...tooo many

2004-07-19T13:37:00.000-07:00

Woe tooo many!!!

User names and passwords.

Have you ever felt that way? Now what was the password I used for this one? Maybe it's just me....but have a sneakin hunch...many of you have experienced the same ordeal.

Wow....the time it took for me to get to my settings....just so I could send out this waste of time blog...lol.

On Fire Now! !

2004-07-17T11:12:00.000-07:00

On Fire Now!?

What does that mean?

It's kind of like the scripture that says,

"NOW Faith is....."

Talking about Faith for the here and NOW! I am not talking about fires of old, but being on fire for God and the things of God NOW!

Well how does THAT happen? Not really sure exactly how it happens, but do know that it starts with this unquenchable hunger for God. A heart that is yearning is wanting to be with HIM, to learn to hear His voice. Being on fire? Now what does that mean?

Is it Normal? ( something I know nothing about...ha ha).

Being on fire for God is simply loving God soooooooooooooooooooooooo much that you cannot, for whatever reason, be quiet about what He has done in you.

kewl deal.
