His Banner over You is LOVE!! And He's NOT changing His mind!

When the Lord says to you, "I've brought you to my banqueting table and my banner over you is love" (Song of Songs 2:4), he is saying so much more than "I got a great meal for you with a love sign posted over your head!" You see, it's not actually a banquet table, but more literally a wine cellar! And the banner is not a sign, it is a HUGE flag that is hoisted and wildly waved as a sign of victory and triumph! So look at it this way...God ushers you into the deepest places of intimacy with him and as you are toasting to your everlasting relationship together, he breaks out the biggest, most glorious flag you have ever seen because he can't help himself! The love-embroidered flag is leaving splashes of His glory as it rips through the air, trumpeting the finality of your love relationship with Him which has been sealed forever because of the victory of Jesus on the cross!! He is beside himself with joy and laughter, reveling in the unchangeable status of you and He engaged in an eternal gaze of mutual adoration! Lest you think I am stretching the truth, remember His words to you: "You ravish my heart with a single one of your glances" and "You are wholly beautiful, my beloved, and without a blemish!" (Song of Songs 4:9,7)

How is it possible that He sees you without a blemish? With great joy I remind you that Jesus loves the church, his bride, and "gave himself up for her so that He might make her holy, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless!" (Ephesians 5:25-27)

When you know that you are loved like this, you feel lovable and look radiant! Ask God for his eyes to see yourself and then go look in the mirror. I think you're going to be shocked at just how good you look!!

Doug and I are long time friends and he has blessed our socks off many times previously at Blazing Fire.

Here is a word that came out on the Elijah List from Doug just 11 days ago:

Four Prophetic Words Being Fulfilled Right Now!

I want to give an update on four prophetic words that I released over the past few months, as we are seeing them begin to unfold. Last year I prophesied that God had brought us all into a wilderness time beginning in 2006. I also saw that in the spring of 2010 something new was going to be released that would begin to catapult people into a new season. I saw a great realignment of people within the Kingdom of God and an attack coming in the area of identity theft. Here are the original words and my thoughts regarding them:

The Wilderness Started in 2006

Several years ago God spoke to me and others about something new from Heaven that was going to be released on the earth in 2005. I was telling people everywhere I went and was helping to prepare for a revival that we knew was and is still to come. Then 2005 came and went with nothing new. In fact, everything began to look the opposite. I did not understand it at the time, but Bob Jones, a prophetic friend of mine, told me that I had not been mistaken with what I had prophesied. He said it just came in a different form than we all expected.

In September 2009 I had a prophetic dream in which I heard the audible voice of God tell me that He really did want to bring something new in 2005, but the majority of Christians were not ready for it. Because of that, God brought us into a time of wilderness which was designed to reveal our motives, heal and prepare us for His greater intentions.

The first month of the wilderness began in January 2006. In my life and ministry I can look at the calendar and see that things began to look completely opposite than what I had expected or heard from God. We had tried to start an outreach center in Hollywood, but suddenly it was like hitting a brick wall. As a result, we moved and lived for three years in Moravian Falls, North Carolina. I got a lot of similar feedback from people everywhere who had experienced the same thing in 2006.

The Wilderness is Over on the First Day of Spring

I was speaking at a conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in January 2006 with Heidi Baker and Mel Tari when this wilderness time officially began. Just this month, on the first day of spring (March 20, 2010), I was in Albuquerque again speaking at the same church with Mel Tari. God reminded me that it was 50 months ago (January 2006) that the wilderness had begun, and He told me that on the first day of spring of 2010 the wilderness time has officially ended!

Spring Forward

As part of the prophetic insight God gave me for 2010, God showed me that when we set the clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time, we will all begin to "Spring Forward" spiritually. Then, when we set the clocks back, things will begin to "Fall into Place." This is beginning to happen right now. I am experiencing it personally, as I am seeing prophetic words and promises God gave me years ago begin to be fulfilled. Many people are reporting feeling new energy, vibrancy, and spiritual hope. We are starting to see breakthrough in the areas of ministry, business, finances, and relationships, and many will begin to see changes almost immediately. This is the season to start something new! Start a new diet, exercise, a business, ministry, or write a new book. This is a time of new beginnings as strategies from Heaven are coming to earth.

Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

As God releases new things from Heaven, we will experience a great shift of positions. We are seeing this happen as well. I heard three words: Resign, Realign and Reassign. People are being divinely realigned by God right now to increase our Kingdom effectiveness. It has happened in my own ministry and with many people everywhere. I saw a chessboard, and God is strategically positioning us for this next season.

Spiritual Identity Theft

In January 2010 I released a prophetic word about spiritual identify theft, a plan of the enemy to get people to miss their destiny by attacking their identity in Christ. Just last week I had a spiritual experience in the middle of the night in which I battled a dark spirit that had come to literally steal the identity of people. At first I thought it was retaliation against me for releasing the prophetic word. But as I began to share it, I am getting feedback that people everywhere are getting attacked right now in the area of theft. People are getting things stolen, websites and email hacked, and being ripped off of what rightfully belongs to them.

When satan attacks us in a particular area, it is an indicator that this is an area of our life where God is bringing blessing or wants to use for His Kingdom. Since God is releasing new things from Heaven, the enemy will try to distract us and get us to believe that nothing is changing. This is a lie and we need to get "eyes to see" what God is doing in this time of our lives.

Prophetic Word: Year of Destiny

I am prophesying that the wilderness is over, we are springing into new life and finding our identities in Christ like never before. This is a year of destiny and we will begin to fulfill things that have been promised to us. It is a year that we need to develop ourselves personally in the unique way that God has called us. It is time to take action and not be passive. New doors of opportunity are opening and we have new strength and resources to walk through them. The future is now!

Matthew 7:7–8 (NLT) Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

All Has Been Made Right!

Hello Loved and Treasured Friends!

During this Holy week when we especially focus with extreme gratitude all that our beautiful Savior, Jesus accomplished for us on the cross in accordance with the Father's will that we would be His forever, I want to look at this amazing passage in Hebrews:

"At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages. Jesus is the reflection of God's glory and bears the perfect imprint of God's own being, sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high!" (Hebrews 1:1-3)

Jesus is the Father's ultimate and supreme statement of His abundant love for us, His unmerited favor towards us, His extreme graciousness that purges and sustains us, and His unparalleled goodness that continually showers us with His blessings!

As He has proven to us through Jesus, the Father says to us, "You are my greatest treasure! You are worth everything to me! I absolutely must have you as my very own forever and ever. I have left NOTHING to chance! By my will, Jesus took upon himself every hideous thing that would ever try to come between you and me. At the final moment of his sacrifice for you on the cross, I tore the veil that supposedly kept us from being together as though it were a piece of frail tissue paper. And as I did so, I screamed, "NOOOOOOOOO!" No more separation!! No more division!! No more estrangement, disconnection or indifference!! All has been made right!! Never again will my children be at odds with me!! Complete and total reconciliation has been restored!! Never do you need to tip toe into my Presence--I urge you to run with reckless abandon, knocking things over on your way if you must! Come and leap into my waiting arms of love and let's laugh and enjoy life together!! THIS is my heart! For all who have misunderstood me, I sent my Son, Jesus, to perfectly display my unchanging character of love. And please believe me when I tell you that this love is yours forever!"
