Great Expectations for 2012! - by Pastor Lonnie Ellis

The time is here that the door to 2011 is closing and the door to 2012 is opening. This is the perfect time to thank Jesus for all that He has done in our lives and thank Him for the things He will do in our lives. Thank you Jesus for the things we know about and for the things we don’t know about.

You don’t have to be a prophetic person to see the world we know is changing. That is a constant since time began. There is a lot being said for the change that is coming in 2012. Some of it is positive and some is negative. I believe there is some truth in both. According 1 Corinthians 13:9 - Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! (New Living Translation (©2007)). I want to share the very small part of what I believe Papa has placed in my heart. A boss I had a long time ago said to me, “Make change your friend”. I use to be scared of change but because of what he spoke into my life several years ago I learned to embrace change.

Though the world seems to be in a place of flux, uncertainty and what some might call chaos, I believe we are in a time that heaven is showing up in AMAZING ways like never before. There is a shaking going on and though we don’t fully understand it, it is good.

I feel there is an invitation from heaven for deeper levels of intimacy with Papa like never experienced. Also we should expect His Greatness to show up in our lives in 2012. One of our school of supernatural students said in class “See God in everything” That placed a challenge in my spirit and heart. I continue to meditate and process her statement with Holy Spirit. When the storms of life that happen in this world (See John 16:33 & Romans 5:3-5) shows up in my life I remember her words and begin to ask Papa for His perspective. This helps to keep me in his gift of grace and peace. Before you know it, I no longer remember the storm because His love and peace overtakes me. Then the answer from heaven shows up. I do not claim to have perfected this but it is true for many, many people. In 2012 we are going to hear an increase of positive and negative information from the world and the body of Christ. The wise thing we can do when this information comes is to go before Papa (intimacy) and ask Him to give us heavens perspective for our lives and journey. We must remember that He is good and that He loves us with an everlasting love and nothing can ever change that.

Have a Happy New Years and expect GREAT things from Papa for your life in 2012 no matter how the world may or may not look.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!

Emmanuel: Our Unspeakable Gift by Pastor Susan Fochler

I have a little calendar sitting on my desk at work. Looking ahead to the scripture for December 25, I was struck by the words: “Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift!” 2 Cor. 9:15. Unspeakable: An inability to define, describe, find the words for....beyond the capability of human language to capture. How can one find language to give full expression to the reality of an all knowing, all powerful God, who chose to leave the flawless Light of heaven in order to come and live among us in this darkened world? And He did this just so He could remain in continuous relationship with each of us for the rest of eternity.

Last weekend, while listening to the familiar reading of the Christmas Story, I found myself entering into that time 2,000 years ago as I never had before. Perhaps because I had been contemplating how “unspeakable”, how beyond my ability to comprehend the full meaning of Jesus come to earth. I seemed to be both here and there at the same time.

The nativity creche scene came to life. Mary sitting and Joseph standing with newborn baby Jesus lying before them. The shepherds came, amazed and uncertain how to best communicate their worship and allegiance. Their faces still radiant from the sight of many angels filling the night sky with the brilliance of God’s Glory, heralding the coming of their long looked-for King. The wise men then approach, their eyes on the star illuminating the stable almost as bright as day. Joy overwhelming them at finding the object of their long search. They came bowing low in humble awareness of the honor bestowed upon them; that they should live to see this day when God became a child living among man.

But most of all, I was aware of Mary. Her eyes fixed on this baby, this tiny One who had so radically caused her life to derail off the predictable norm and onto a path never traveled before. As she looked upon her baby it was beginning to dawn on her that, “Let it be unto me” meant far more than a mysterious pregnancy. Aware that the birth was not the end of her surrender; that the usual hopes and expectations a mother might have for her son would not be hers. She had said yes to something much bigger than herself, and could not take that back. Yet somehow, in her honest humility, she had no regrets. This was the Gift Who would usher in a new Kingdom through which God would set up residence on earth as never seen before. She had known from the beginning He was only hers to hold very lightly. and that her Son would be shared with all of mankind for all time.

This One who knows all things, has all power, created all things through the utterance of His Word, willing to be contained within human parameters during His time on earth. Born utterly dependent on frail human beings. Raised by loving but not fully comprehending parents. Born to hear the same sounds, see the same sights, work through the same relational issues and bear the same physical and emotional limitations as you and me. Heb 2:17 reminds us that it was “...essential that He be made like His brethren in every respect, in order that He might become a merciful High Priest...” Apparently there was no other way for Love to bridge the gulf between heaven and earth.

What amazing love has been poured out upon us! That Love that invites us into something much bigger, much more powerful, much more transformational than our own individual lives. We thank you, Lord, for being willing to come to us, dwell among us, live and breathe among us; the Unspeakable gift...that You chose to be as us, so that now we get to be as You in the world!

THE REAL STORY OF ST. NICHOLAS

St. Nicholas should be an inspiration to us all. He was a godly man whose reputation for giving to people caused him to be a revered example of what compassion and giving are all about.

Stories of his life—a life full of Christian beliefs and values—are the real background for today's mythical Santa Claus.

A Gift From God
Nicholas and his parents lived in Turkey in the third century and were Christians. Nicholas' parents had prayed and asked God for a child, much as Abraham and Sarah had done. From the time Nicholas was born in about A.D. 280, they considered him a gift from God. Diligently, they taught their young son devotion to God and to be very generous to the poor. Although they both died when Nicholas was in his teens, their heritage of living for God and giving followed Nicholas.

Ordained as a young teenager, Nicholas entered the priesthood at age 19. His uncle, the bishop who ordained him, prophesied that Nicholas would offer guidance and consolation to many people, that he would eventually become a bishop, and that he would live a life of enlightenment. Eventually he did become the bishop of a small, coastal village, and his influence spread into many nations.

Many accounts have been written about the life of Nicholas. It was said that he would spend all night studying God's Word to bring it to the people. He was known for helping the poor, for praying, fasting and standing steadfast in faith and goodness.

Many miracles were brought about through his prayers. Included among the accounts of his ministry is the report of twin brothers who were raised from the dead. It was written that one could hardly keep count if the virtue and goodness he spread around him.

When Nicholas died on December 6, A.D. 343, he is said to have quoted Psalm 11 with his last breath, "In the Lord I put my trust." In the Greek language, the name Nicholas means "victorious" or "hero of the people," and he did indeed become a very popular figure in the centuries that followed his death. Stories of Nicholas spread throughout Greece and into Russia. He became the popular patron saint of Russians, who called him "Nikolai, the wonderworker."

His Gift Was His Legacy
In 1087, the remains of St. Nicholas' grave were transported from Turkey to Bari, Italy, where a basilica was built in his honor. Soon after, his popularity spread throughout Italy and across Western Europe. December 6, the day of his death, became St. Nicholas Day on the Roman Catholic calendar, and the custom of gift-giving on December 6 began in France and spread across all of Europe.

With the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, the worshiping of the saints was denounced, and St. Nicholas Day was no longer observed in England. In Holland and Belgium, the traditional day of December 6 was still celebrated. There, Sinter Klaas rode through the streets on a white horse, rewarding good children with treats and toys and giving rods or switches to bad children.

Christopher Columbus brought the first celebration of St. Nicholas Day to the New World when he landed in the West Indies on December 6, 1492, and named the harbor Port of St. Nicholas, in honor of the patron saint of sailors.

All of these traditions blended with immigration to the New World. As the English and Dutch came and intermarried, Father Christmas and Sinter Klaas blended into one figure. Dutch Americans eventually adopted December 25 as their day of celebration, and by the end of the Civil War, St. Nicholas the bishop was generally known in the United States as Santa Claus.

The poem, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" further shaped the American Santa. Another popular poem, originally titled, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," was penned by New York professor Clement Moore in the 1800s and created a word picture portraying a round-bellied Santa with a huge pack on his back.

Picking up on this image, cartoonist Thomas Nast added a North Pole toy workshop in his cartoon for Harper's Weekly magazine. In 1925, a large corporation ran an advertising campaign of Santa Claus further defining him as a large man with a red and white fur suit, black boots and a long, flowing beard—the closest description of our present-day Santa.

The American Santa Claus, like America itself, came from a melting pot of Old World cultures and characters. He is the Dutch Sinter Klaas and the Lutheran Kris Kringle who bring gifts to children. His red garment is lined with fur like the German version of Nicholas, and he spreads merriment and cheer like Father Christmas. And a team of reindeer, borrowed from a Russian legend, accompanies Santa Claus on his journey through the night.

The story of the true St. Nicholas is a beautiful picture of the giving that Christmas is really about. St. Nicholas represents the giving heart of our Heavenly Father, Who doesn't give switches and rods but Who always gives only good gifts.

The greatest gift of all is the gift of Jesus Christ to us from God the Father. Jesus is our hope, redemption and victory. He is our advocate with the Father, our blood-covenant Friend Who will never leave nor forsake us. In Him, we have the joy of living a heavenly life on earth.

He is the meaning of Christmas "Christ mass" means "anointing celebration." It's the celebration of "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power…."

It's the celebration of how the anointed Jesus "…went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil…" (Acts 10:38). It's the story of our triumphant Savior—Jesus, the Christ—the King of kings and the Lord of lords!

Now, that's a Merry Christmas!

Jesus, Our Ever PRESENT Help

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1

Last week, the girl I've done home care for the last 10 years went home to be with Jesus. Her brother, whom I also cared for, graduated to greater glory several years ago. Nicole and Josh had a rare genetic disease and they actually lived much longer than doctors determined. Nicole was a daughter to me. She taught me how to love in ways I can't quite describe. Though I have found so much comfort in knowing she isn't suffering anymore, my heart has still been hurting quite a bit. It's in these times of pain, that I have found myself more than ever, pressed into Jesus' chest. He has been so kind, so sweet, so available and so present for me.

This week, I have been experiencing more and more just how “ever present” Christ is. He bore all of our pain when He went to the Cross. It is a done deal, finished, past tense. Yet there are times in our lives that we still hurt in the “present.” The beautiful thing about my Jesus is that He is willing to stay “present” with us though He already took upon Himself every hurt we currently feel. He is not confined by time or space. He is just as present in our pain as He is in all of our joys. He never tells us, “Get over it!” He knows there is a time to grieve and is not uncomfortable with it. He always stays connected with us in every aspect of our lives and knows exactly what we need and when.

I want to encourage you right now, to enjoy Christ in your “present.” Whether it's His hand drying your tears, His breath on your face, His steady gaze in worship, His company as you go Christmas shopping or His joy bubbling up in your belly. He never disconnects from you. You carry Christ inside of you and He lives to stay present with you in every minute, every moment, every day of your life.

“I AM is our past, present and future. Enjoy and express Him daily in total abandonment.” - Francois du Toit

I love you family,

Brent & Suzanne are going on a Sabbatical Rest!

Suzanne and I will be taking a much needed sabbatical this December and January. After 21 years of ministry, including two church plants, we need the down time to enjoy the unforced rhythms of grace. Don't worry--our stake is in the ground here and we will be back before you know it rested and ready to be part of the huge end-time harvest that is most assuredly on the way!

Our sabbatical rest will start this Sunday, Dec. 4th. I will be preaching this Saturday, Dec. 3rd, sharing from my heart some things the Lord's been doing in me and how I see this sabbatical in light of the bigger picture of what is happening with Blazing Fire and God's plans for the Bay Area. Please make it a point to be there this Saturday, December 3rd at Blazing Fire's worship service if you are able.

This sabbatical is truly a gift from the Blazing Fire family to us! We can't take this time away without your continued support financially. Any end of the year extra gift to Blazing Fire would be a huge blessing! And thank you, ahead of time, for remembering to bring Suzanne and myself before the Lord, asking him to refresh, restore and renew us during this time away.

All of the life-giving ministries of Blazing Fire Church, inlcuding our Saturday night Blazing FIre worship services will continue without missing a beat! Our amazing Elder team is all set to continue providing pastoral care. The Blazing Fire Church phone number (925-997-5774) will still be functional and Pastor Russ Fochler will be receiving the calls. Any e-mails sent to me or Suzanne will not be read until our return on February 1st. You can reach anyone on the elder team via e-mail. Go to this link to see their e-mail addresses:

Again, I will say much more when I share this Saturday night, so please join us.

We love and appreciate you all!
Brent & Suzanne

Transitional Time!

Here are some recent prophetic words from Doug Addison who will be speaking at Blazing FIre Church this Saturday, November 19th:

Transition

Eleven is a number that is symbolic of transition (almost twelve, which represents the government of God and the starting of a new day). We are entering into a new time in which things will begin to flow much more easily. Over the past eleven years (2000–2011) we saw a negative transition occur, which introduced dark events such as terrorism, economic downturn, and global unrest. We now have the opportunity to see a turnaround over the next eleven months.

God is bringing justice and repaying people for all that was lost, stolen, or cut short during the past nine years (from 2002–2011).

God spoke to me that the enemy has overplayed his hand against us and that if we would ask Him to, He will bring repayment. There is not a time limit on this prophetic word, because God is outside of time, but I highly recommend that you continue to ask God to repay all that you have lost. Your repayment might come to you in various forms and increments. So watch for things like new favor, unexpected money, raises, promotions, restored relationships, new spiritual gifts and God’s power in your life.

Deuteronomy 11:11 “But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.”

We are entering into a time of refreshing from Heaven in which God is going to supply our needs beyond what we can imagine.

Prophetic word on Rosh Hashanah

As the sun set on Rosh Hashanah (Friday, September 30th) an old season came to a close. We are now in three months of transition from October through December. Transition is when many old ways of doing things are not as effective but yet the new has not been fully revealed. Don’t be discouraged by this transitional time, as it may look opposite from what you may expect. God is rearranging things, bringing new angelic assignments and lining things up for a fresh new start in January 2012.

Recently, I heard two strategic series of dates: November 14–17, 2011 and December 9–14, 2011. These will be significant times of connections and in some cases restoration of things we have let go of in the past. Watch for new creativity and new relationships to emerge. Pray that God’s purposes will be accomplished especially during these days.

Things that are coming in 2012

We are going to see new medical breakthroughs in the coming new year. With the onslaught of destructive disease and viruses, God is offsetting this attack by initiating radical medical discoveries and cures.

There will be new inventions and business strategies released from Heaven. Some people will be shown how to make a million dollars overnight. Business partnerships will be formed to release finances for Kingdom projects.

New insight will come from God on how to deal with some major political and social “hot buttons” that have separated people in the past. God is releasing the Spirit of Reconciliation that will bring healing of differences between people groups and nations.

Hurray for God!

One of my very favorite passages in Scripture is Ephesians 1:3-6 because it so wonderfully portrays the huge heart of our Father towards us, His beloved children. Each year, I have our Kingdom Training School of Supernatural Ministry students write their own fun and creative paraphrase of that passage and here are two of them to encourage you today.

"Hurray! Shout praise to your Daddy because He unloaded a dump truck full of goodies right into your lap! You were hand picked to be on His championship team before you even knew there was a game to be played. And His team always has an undefeated season, making you a champion over and over! It was His love for you that got you picked--His lavish, gigantic love that you did nothing to earn. And now it's just victory after victory, glory after glory!" (Derek Mitchell, 2nd year KTSSM student)

"Papa Bear is so soft and cuddly. He always has the biggest hugs for each of us every time...all the time...and He thought of me first. Did you know He thought of you first too? Even though we all look different, He sees us wholey and completely as His own and He loves that we love HIs family and are best friends with His Son! Super, big cuddly soft hugs for infinity and beyond!" (Erin Johnson, 1st year KTSSM student)

Blazing Fire Prayer Ministry Team

Calling folks of prayer & compassion! We're forming a Prayer Ministry Team that can help pray blessings & healing after our services. We also hope to meet periodically to grow together. If you're interested in serving or would like to find out more information, we're having a pre-service meeting on Saturday, Nov 19th at 4 - 5:00 pm in one of the downstairs rooms at Sunset Community Church. We hope to see you there!

Unfolding Grace!

Papa is your greatest supporter and encourager. He wants you to rise to the top, to soar into your appointed destiny, to finish strong in this race to receive your gold medal with him on the winner's stand!

And he knows that along the way, it can be very hard at times. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged or disillusioned in any way, I want to bring you encouragement straight from the throne of God.

First of all, I want to assure you that through the battles, the Father is strengthening your faith in ways that would boggle your mind, if you only knew! I also want to encourage you to run into the arms of your loving Father who has always wanted you and who will never, ever give up on you! Go to that place of intimacy with God, no matter what it takes. Ignore the discouragements and enjoy the huge heart of the One who adores you! Lay your frustrations and anxieties on the One who has the broad shoulders to take the load and choose to fix your gaze on the Lover of your soul! He loves you so very much! He has chosen you to be His forever!

If you want to throw in the towel, listen to these words from the Lord to your heart:

"So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace!" (2 Corinthians 4:16, The Message Bible)

His unfolding grace! That is his astounding grace that keeps on presenting itself to you each time you require it. God's grace is enough! It is enough for you to make it through the difficult times. It is enough to give you hope when you are disappointed. It is enough to give you vision when you have lost sight of the goal of your faith. It is enough!

Papa says to you, His precious child:

"Don't despair. I am still for you. My heart hasn't changed one little bit. I know you don't understand all my ways. I haven't asked you to. But, one day you will see everything for the way it truly is, from My perspective. Until that time, know that I am with you and I am for you! I will be everything you need! I AM everything you need! Keep drawing into me. My presence will never disappoint you. My presence is everything you need. My presence is your ultimate destiny! Keep believing my good and tender heart toward you because I will never disappoint you!"

New Beginnings TODAY!

On Sept. 28th we entered 5772 of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). Here is the description of the New Year from Chuck Pierce:

We are poised to enter a new season where the Eye of the Lord is looking to see how His House develops. The Hebraic Year 5772 (Ayin Bet) actually conveys piercing into world structures to recover and restore Kingdom blessings that have been captured. Another way of understanding the season ahead is as a time of unexpected favor. This is when both Israel and God’s people aligned with Israel become the “apple of His eye.”

We are entering a season when the synergistic power of the gifts of the Spirit comes together. This is also a time when gender, races and generations come together in a new way. Begin looking for divided hearts to become one, before the Lord. Family will become more important than it has been in the last 40 years, and there will be a recovery of family principles.

We have all the reason in the world to be the most hope-filled, optimistic people on the planet! Our Father is for us and has given us the indescribable gift of Jesus--and with Jesus we have been given freedom, joy, love and every other part of His rich inheritance that is ours. Since this is a new year, why not agree with all of the promises for you that are set for 'Today' (Hebrews 4:7). Say this out loud...

"Today is a day of New Beginnings for me!! I am not stuck! Today is my day to agree that my past is past and my future in Christ is here right now! Today is my day to agree that Christ in me is superabundant and everything I could possibly need! Today is my day to agree absolutely nothing is impossible for me! Today is the day to bust out of old barriers that have held me down. It’s the day to rise up and break free from the bondage of addictions. It’s the day to declare and see miracles in my family, my finances and my personal destiny! It’s the day to revel in the resurrection that I share THIS DAY with Christ as a brand new, completely restored, massively loved, beautifully regenerated creation! No matter what has happened in my life to this point, my slate is wiped completely clean and my destiny lies before me as an attainable, well-lit path because Jesus is walking it with me! Above all, I agree today that I am loved and treasured beyond compare by this astounding Father of New Beginnings!"

Look in the Mirror!

What does it mean for you and me to be a carrier of God’s glory? I talked about this last Saturday night (you can catch the podcast at http://blazingfire.podbean.com/)

Here it is in a nutshell:

In the Old Covenant, Moses made a bold request to God in Exodus 33:18, “Show me your glory,” to which God responded, “All right, then, I will allow my character, the goodness of my nature to pass in front of you. I’ll show you how good I really am.”

Sometimes we read that story and say, “Dang, I wish I was Moses to see that!” No really you don’t—you have it way better than Moses in the New Covenant of Grace!

2 Corinthians 3:13 explains how Moses, after he met with the Israelite people to share what God had told him, put a veil over his face because he didn’t want them to see the glory fading. Why was it fading? Because it was external. Remember that God’s glory passed before him.

Now, you gotta catch this!

For you who are in the New Covenant of Grace, God’s goodness doesn't pass before you, but lives in you! That glorious goodness of God that Moses got to see the backside of as He passed by has made His home in you!! Have you ever really looked at people who spend a lot of time with God? They glow and leak all over the place—they can’t help it!

In the Old Covenant, when Moses said, show me your glory, God’s goodness passed before him. In the New Covenant, when we say, “God, show me your glory,” God's response is...

“Look in the mirror!!”

Have you ever really done that--intently looking to see Christ in you, the hope of glory? It's REAL, my friends! Many times and with much more frequency now, I look into my own eyes in the mirror and see God's glory. “Oh My! There you are Jesus! I can see you! I carry your glory! I release it everywhere I go!"

And so do you! Jesus said to his Father, "I have given them the glory that you gave to me." (John 17:22) The very same glory that the Father deposited into Jesus as the Light of the World, permeates and pours out of each of us as well!

So I want to encourage you today--right now if you can--look in the mirror, but before you do, ask God, “Show me your glory!”

And while you're at it, say out loud these declarations that we made together Saturday night:

I CARRY GOD'S GLORY!

I AM GREAT BEYOND MEASURE!

I AM MADE FOR INTIMACY WITH THE LORD!

I BRING HIS PRESENCE WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO!

So our faces are not covered. They show the bright glory of the Lord, as the Lord's Spirit makes us more and more like our glorious Lord. (2 Cor 3:18, Contemporary English Bible)

You Are Not a Failure!

If you're feeling like a failure, like you've let God down, listen to the voice of your Daddy in heaven...

"My child, I know everything about you and I have always known that you've needed a Savior--that's why I sent my Son to die for you and that's why I've left nothing to chance!

I rejoice over you! I am enamored with you! If you have forgotten who you are, I will remind you and bring you back to the path of life where you were born again in my Spirit to exist.

You are not a failure, you are my success story! Wait until you see the next chapters that I have written for you unfold in your life.

You are not a disappointment, you are a treasure to me! I invite you to look in the mirror and see what I see. Every time I look at you, I say, "Wow!" Actually, you so capture my heart that I can't take my eyes off you!

I am not "putting up with you," I celebrate you! I call over the angels and say, "Look at my son/my daugther! Aren't they amazing! They're everything I ever wanted! They are my dream fulfilled"

You are not a failure. Don't ever listen to that lie. When I made you, I knew exactly what I was doing and I was thrilled with what I had made! I want you. Come, rest your head on my chest and hear my heart beat for you. Listen closer. It sound like this...

I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...and it goes on like this for eternity!

Amazing Revelation

(An encouragement from Tammy Von Horn who will be preaching at Blazing Fire this Saturday night)

Didn’t you just love Pastor Brent’s email last week describing Jesus as our most awesome and powerful King? Didn’t that email both remind you of truth you already know and challenge you to be amazed all over again at the absolute majesty of our Savior?

John the Baptist spoke something very similar in John 3. John’s disciples approached John with a tone of concern that more people were beginning to go to Jesus to be baptized instead of coming to John’s camp.

In response to their concern, John beautifully describes his perspective of Jesus and himself,

"You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for Him.’ It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at Jesus’ success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. Jesus has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but He has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. He testifies about what He has seen and heard, but how few believe what He tells them! Anyone who accepts Jesus’ testimony can affirm that God is true. For Jesus is sent by God. Jesus speaks God’s words, for God gives Him the Spirit without limit."

Because of the amazing revelation given to him, John understood who Jesus was and also knew who he was. We, like John, are invited into this revelation where we also behold and understand the majesty of Jesus and in that knowing come to understand how precisely we were created and reborn into His likeness.

In the beginning when God created everything, He deliberately created you and I in His image. Now on one end of this spectrum, this may mean that some of us have His nose or His chin or even His ears. Or that likeness may apply to your mannerisms – do you laugh like God or sneeze the way that He does? But on the completely other end of the spectrum, you were designed to mirror your big brother Jesus, shaped to carry as He does, God’s spirit without limit. Aren’t you amazing?!

I am so excited to share even more about this very topic on Saturday. And just to let you in on a little tip, if you come with your Bible (we’ll be camping in John 3, 6 and 9) AND a hand mirror, you will be just as blown away as I’ve been lately at how unfathomably kind God was towards us when He simply conceived, shaped and presented us in His very image.

KING JESUS!

This morning I experienced the extravagant joy of knowing that Jesus is the King of the earth. Now that may seem really obvious at first, but in light of all that is happening, both in our personal lives and also in the United States and the nations around the world, it is easy to begin fretting about what's going to happen.

In a most glorious moment, purely by God's grace, I was ushered into a near euphoric state of bilssful confidence in my King Jesus! Jesus knows EXACTLY what he is doing! He can let me know everything that I need to know, but nothing more than I should know. He is the King and I am not!

My primary job is to remain in his presence and enjoy Him, fully confident in his strength, not focusing on my weakness. That's just extremely good news right there!

In light of that, I bless each one of you today with the deep peace that comes from knowing that your King is working all things out on the earth and that he is in your corner working things out for you at this very moment! I bless you with the joy of experiencing the depth of his very real passion for you that never changes! And I bless you with the grace of staying in this place of resting in the astounding goodness of God continuously.

We love you!
Brent & Suzanne

BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!

Hello Amazing Saints!

Yes, YOU!!

Don't let the world tell you who you are. The world doesn't know the first thing about your astounding new nature in Christ! The angels are looking on in awe at what the Lord has chosen to do to make you a carrier of His divine glory!

Colossians 1:5 in the Mirror Transalation says this:

"Heaven (the spiritual realm) is the limitless reservoir of your expectation. The announcement of the goodness of God is not far fetched or too good to be true. The word you heard is absolutely true!"

Do you know what this means? It means that the goodness and love of your Father towards you, who absolutely adores you and is proud to call you his son or daughter, is absolutely 100% true!! You can bank on it!

Colossians 1:10 explains what you get to do with this exceptionally Good News:

"Go on a walkabout tour to explore the extent of the land that is yours under His Lordship. Now you can conduct yourselves appropriately towards Him; pleasing Him in every harvest of good works that you bear. Meanwhile you continue to increase in your intimate acquaintance with God; this results in the most attractive and fulfilled life possible."

Your singular job (if you want to call it that) is to draw in closer and closer to the One who wants you with all of his heart! As you do that, the deepest longings within you find fulfillment as the Lord saturates you with his tender love and mercies every day of your life. This is what you have to look forward to for all of eternity!

You are truly blessed beyond measure! Get used to it!!

We love you!

Jesus is Holding it All Together!

With all of the upheaval and apparent uncertainty in the world, it is more crucial than ever that we have a firm grasp on the immensity of Christ who is the certain hope of the world! Check out Hebrews 1:1-3 in The Mirror Translation (with some of my thoughts in blue):

"Throughout ancient times God spoke in many fragments and glimpses of prophetic thought to our fathers.

Now, the sum total of his conversation with man has finally culminated in a son. He is the official heir of all things. He is, after all, the author of the ages. (Sonship, as represented in Jesus, is the crescendo of God’s conversation with man).

We have our beginning and our present being in him (Christ in us, the author and perfector of our faith!). He is the force of the universe, sustaining everything that exists by his eternal utterance! (did you get that?? He is THE one and only force of the universe, sustaining everything! Keep yourselves firmly fixed on that truth whenever you are feeling unsettled by what you see going on around you!) Jesus is the radiant and flawless expression of the person of God. He makes the glory (intent) of God visible and exemplifies the character and every attribute of God in human form. This powerful final utterance of God (the incarnation) is the vehicle that carries the weight of the universe. He is the central theme of everything that exists. The content of his message celebrates the fact that God took it upon himself to successfully cleanse and acquit mankind. (acquittal means that the case against you was thrown out of court for all time because there is absolutely NO evidence against you!!) Jesus is now his right hand of power, seated in the boundless measure of his majesty (where you are also seated with Him--WHOA!). He occupies the highest seat of authority, in which our innocence is represented."

Uncertainty on the earth? It's true that everything that can be shaken is being shaken, but nothing could be any more certain than Jesus Christ who holds everything together! He alone holds the keys to His unshakable Kingdom and invites us to rule and reign with Him!

"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body." (Colossians 1:16-18, The Message Bible)

Church, we are in EXCELLENT hands!

Much love you to all!
Brent & Suzanne

Phrases from a Good Papa!

Last Saturday, I shared about our amazing Papa God (who also has a Mamma's comfort) who has uplifting things to say to you. Receive these words of encouragement straight from His heart to yours. And as you receive them, you will have the very same words to share with others who also need His encouragement through you!

So...Papa God says to you:

* "I'm proud of you!"

* "I celebrate you!"

* "I will never, ever give up on you!"

* "I am always for you, never against you!"

* "I see the treasures in you and I will continuously call them out!"

* "I am cheering you on!"

* "My ceiling is your floor! I am committed to your success!"

* "I will allow you to make mistakes and learn, but I will not enable you!"

* "I will discipline you because I love you!"

* "I will make sacrifices to assure your success!"

* "I love you!"

What you have freely received, you get to now freely give away!

The Empty Tomb Is Our Launching Pad!

It's the week after Easter.

Last Saturday at Blazing Fire, we filled you with the unchanging, spectacularly Good News that because of Christ’s sacrifice, you are perfectly right with God and you have access to His presence ALL the time!

Admittedly, we can begin to lose sight of this truth when the long list of "to do's" and the circumstances of life start chipping away at our peace and joy. BUT WAIT!! We can choose to seek first God’s Kingdom (which is defined as Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit!) and all these things that we were worrying about will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33). We can go about our routine and still stay out of the rut because we know our lives have been forever redirected by heaven's power and Jesus' abiding presence. We will not allow circumstances to steal away the assurance, encouragement, and hope of what Christ finished on the cross for us! We will remember that the empty tomb is our launching pad for hope, transformation, and victory!

The Lord isn’t dead! Christ lives in you! He lives for you! His victory is yours! Nothing will ever change that!

Here is my paraphrase of Titus 3:4-7 that I read to you last Saturday night at Blazing Fire. Read this out loud and fully agree with the truth that never changes!

“Because Papa’s outrageous love and extreme kindness were undeniably displayed through Jesus’ sacrificial death on our behalf, it has become crystal clear that this action was all God’s doing and had absolutely nothing to do with us earning His acceptance and approval. We were completely and perfectly saved for one reason alone—God’s faithful love and desire for us compelled Him! We have been purified and made holy through and through with complete access to enjoy God’s glorious presence as a brand new creation of Christ-like glory! Because of Christ’s death on the cross--doing for us what we could never do for ourselves in a million years--we have already been tried and found not guilty. As a result, we are filled with child-like, giddy joy, knowing that everything Jesus purchased is already ours--especially eternal life with Papa who loves us, desires us and wants us to be with Him forever!”

The empty tomb is our launching pad to transform the earth with the love, joy and power of Jesus that fills us every day of our lives!! GO FOR IT!!!

Seeing From Heaven's Perspective!

Enjoy this encouragement from Karena Lout (captivatedbytheking@gmail.com), an elder of Blazing Fire Church who, along with her husband Todd, are amazing pastors of our on-fire teenagers!

We've all heard the saying "Some see the glass half empty and some see it half full." Perspective is everything. Do we only see what's missing or do we see an opportunity for more? At the beginning of March, Jesus encouraged me to keep a journal for 30 days, writing down three things.

1. Something I'm thankful for

2. Something I saw God do that day

3. A declaration of something GREAT to come

I have to admit, I haven't always been very consistent with keeping a journal but this seemed pretty feasible. And after all, how could I say no to being encouraged! I soon found myself being thankful for rain on days when others were less than happy about it. I saw God do some pretty amazing things that I may not have noticed before I began looking for His goodness. When you focus on what God IS doing and not on what you think He isn't doing, you see everything through Heaven's perspective. This isn't to say that we ignore difficulties, pain and tragedy that so many are facing. But when you contemplate on what Christ has done, you become part of the solution that so many are looking for. You can't help but be encouraged! Jesus is after all, the eternally extreme optimist! His glass is ALWAYS FULL! And so is yours!

So I encourage you to take some time to thank Him for the simple things, the monumental things, the ways He's moving in your life and on the earth. Believe me, it won't be difficult and you will not be disappointed. Each day is an opportunity to breathe in and savor the goodness of a God who is so in love with you!

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever" Psalm 107:1

"Becoming affectionately acquainted with Throne Room thoughts will keep you from being distracted again by the earthly realm" Col. 3:2 (The Mirror Translation)

Here's to a BRILLIANT New Year!

The New Year is traditionally a time of reflection where we examine where we are, where we are going and what we would want life to be like in the near future. We think about change and we make a wish list of resolutions that usually fails to make it beyond January.

I think it fails because we make the wrong sort of list for the wrong motives. We usually make a list of what we most want to change about our situations or ourselves. Most of the items on that list are negatives.

"I'm not going to be a doormat for people this year. I'm going to lose all this weight. I'm going to stop being angry. I hate the fact that I'm so impatient. I really need to stop being so anxious. Why am I so pessimistic?! I need to change that?"

Our motive is improvement, increase, upgrade. We want something better and more of it. Our difficulty is that when we focus on a negative we become drawn into its cycle. We become obsessed by what we are not. We fall back into the pit from which we are trying to escape.

We cannot change a negative by being involved with the negativity. Our lives can never be distinguished by the absence of something. When we focus on a negative we make a feature of an identity that is in itself debilitating. It is easier for us to repeat a defeat, step into denial, and disagree with our own potential.

A negative in photographic terms is an image from which positive prints can be made. Therefor in terms of personal change we must have a process by which our negative image goes through a series of steps in order that our vision of ourselves can be upgraded positively.

Firstly, make a list of the negative things you would like to change about yourself.

Secondly, convert each item on that list into a positive.

For example:

"I'm not going to be a doormat for people"
becomes: I'm going to have a bigger sense of my own worth and value.
"I'm going to lose all this weight"
becomes: I'm going to enjoy getting fit and getting healthy.
"I'm going to stop being angry"
becomes: I am going to practice being more loving.
"I hate the fact that I'm so impatient"
becomes: I'm going to make better use of my own time; smile more and be kind.
"I really need to stop being so anxious"
becomes: I am going to enjoy being more trusting, carefree and happy.
"Why am I so pessimistic?"
becomes: I am going to live a life that attracts joy and laughter to me.

You get the picture. Convert the negative into a positive and then deal with who you want to be; not who you are not. (The CD Turning Passivity Into Prophecy deals with this at www.BrilliantBookHouse.com)

Thirdly, please remember that the old you is actually dead. As we convert the negative list into a positive one we move our focus from your old nature to your new nature in Christ. Read Romans 6:2-14. This is a template for walking in newness. If we are going to be successful, happy and powerful then this passage is the basis for all of our story and journey in Christ. In Him we are already dead to the old (2 Corinthians 5:17-21) which has passed away and everything is new. Be alive to your new self in God and crucially do not allow people to resurrect the old you. Take joyful possession of your new self in Jesus and have fun establishing that reality.

Fourthly, don't try to become the new person. Accept that in Christ you are already there! You do not become a new person by changing your behavior. You accept the person you already are in Christ and behave accordingly. Abiding is the key new testament desire and delight. Stay, dwell and remain in Christ. Do not allow yourself to be moved away from His reality within your heart. As you focus on Him, it is His peace, love, joy and calm wisdom that will surface in every situation.

Lastly, enjoy the journey! Remember that you do not live in your circumstances. You live in Christ. Stay there! Focus from there. Practice life from there. See from His perspective. That is the nature of Abiding! Let joy walk with you this year. The joy of the Lord shall be your strength, courage, firmness, health, stamina, energy, power and intentionality.

Have a Brilliant new year!

Graham

Letter From Jesus!

"I no longer call you servants...I call you friends!"
John 15:15

I Am so excited to spend this life with you! Thank you for accepting My invitation. I hope you will enjoy this lifetime of love and romance that I have created just for you. You are the one I dream of, my heart is overflowing with love for you. When you look at Me, I can barely restrain Myself! You ravish Me with a single one of your glances!

“The King greatly desires your beauty, He is your Lord, the One you adore!” (Ps 45:11) Please join me every day in this celebration of our love! Look into My eyes and you will see just what you mean to Me!

“The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is pleasant fruit, both new and old, that I have prepared for you, my lover.” (Song of Songs 7:13)

Oh, my beautiful one, will you come to my table? I have prepared a feast for you, designed to delight your senses! Your perfume has
captivated me, love is in the air! Taste and see how sweet my love is for you, let me woo you daily!

“He leads me into a banquet room and looks at me with love.” (Song of Songs 2:4)

Darling, you are My guest of honor! Sharing a love feast with you is the desire of my heart. Seeing your shining eyes smiling at me across the table makes my heart beat faster! You are the Princess-Bride I always dreamed of, no one but you will do for Me! Your beautiful feet are perfect, you are the very one I've been searching for. I love you with all My heart. I AM Your Knight in Shining Armor!

"...as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your God rejoices over you." (Isa. 62:5)

I cherish you, Beloved, I have written your name on My hand. I can't take My eyes off you, even while you sleep. Your beauty enraptures Me! All day long I dream of ways to show you how great My love for you truly is, and all night long I sing love songs and lullabies over you while I guard your sleep. When you smile at Me, I am undone! I long for you to know the depths of My passion for you, my Sister, my Bride!

How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Ps 119:103)

How wonderful you are, My Love! Before the world was created, My love for you overflowed like a fountain, like a spring that could not be contained! My thoughts dance like light on the water as I plan our future together. You are the delight of My Spirit, You are the apple of My Father's eye! My family is your family. I Am eagerly waiting for the day when you dance with Me before My Father's throne! You are my Joy, and I love you beyond forever.

“I have entered my garden, my treasure, My bride! I gather myrrh with My spices and eat honeycomb with My honey. I drink wine with My milk. Oh, lover and beloved, eat and drink! Yes, drink deeply of your love! Your love delights Me, my treasure, My bride. Your love is better than wine, your perfume more fragrant than spices.” (Song of Songs 5:1, 4:10)

My radiant one, my precious Bride, thank you for saying Yes to me. Thank you for loving me with abandon, for not holding your love back from Me. Thank you for taking My name as your own, and giving me every part of yourself. My vows to you are stronger than death, and I promise you, nothing will ever come between us! You are everything to Me. Come away with me now to the secret place, to the garden I have created for us. Come and rest in my arms, lean on me and let me carry you away. Draw close to Me and you will find that I Am closer to you than your breath. Stay with Me awhile, dream with me among the lilies.

I Am your husband, the Lover of your soul! ~ Jesus

Letter From Papa!

"I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."
Hebrews 8:10-12

My child, you are my absolute joy! You are everything I ever wanted! At times I miss your company when you wander, but I am never angry with you. My son, Jesus, took all of that away forever for you.

It's time that we go places together that I have planned for a very long time. It's time to set your sights in the direction of My Kingdom alone. You are great beyond measure and I have been building you up to believe this. I am making you believe this because of where we are going together. I have given you great favor and I have massively blessed your life. I HAVE loved you with an everlasting love and I WILL maintain my love for you to the end--although in reality there is no end!

You and I are on a journey, climbing mountains, forging streams, flying above the clouds, even hiking deep ravines and valleys--but it's a great adventure and I will never leave your side. You are my beloved child and I love you! Always have--always will!

Get to know me even more. I'm still far better than what you've experienced thus far and even what you've spoken to others about me. But find out why. Go deeper still! This is a brand new phase of your journey with me. Trust me! Enjoy me! I have such plans for you--plans to touch the world through you--plans to release the oppressed--Plans to draw you in deeper and to have you sit longer in my refreshing, restoring Presence as I share my secrets with you about myself and my Kingdom.

I love to share my secrets with the one I love! That's you, ya know!

New Beginnings!

I want to share with you an encouraging message from Blazing Fire sister, Tammy Von Horn, who is one of the founders of Pockets of Dreams

(www.pocketsofdreams.com), an amazing company that makes girls clothing with the proceeds directly helping mothers in developing countries to expand their own sewing businesses to support their children. Tammy also hosts "Amazing Women Parties" once a month, so if you are a woman needing massive encouragement and want to be invited, write to Tammy at: tammy@pocketsofdreams.com.

Enjoy Tammy's encouragement:

Happy February! As much as I am thrilled to start a new month, can you believe that January 2011 is already history?

For those of you who vowed changes in this year, how are your resolutions coming? Mine? Well, I've yet to loose or gain the things on my list but, OH WELL!!

Oh well? You say? No guilt or regret Tammy? My answer, no, not so much. Sure, I wish I could brag of a smaller waist, fatter wallet or an emptier calendar, but from my view point, I am blessing with "New Beginnings" all the time.
Consider the following:

- 1 time every 365 days, I get a brand new year. But if I need a new 'new year' I can decide to celebrate. . .
- Chinese New Year in February (Gong Xi Fa Cai!) or
- Rosh Hoshanah, Jewish New Year, in September
- 4 times each year, I get a new season. . . winter, spring, summer and fall
- 12 times each year, I get a brand new month. . . Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec
- Every 24 hours, I get a brand new day and if I want to start that day in prayer, I can:
- Pray in the morning hours, the traditional start of the day in the Western world or (and this is good news for us non-morning people)
- Pray in the evening, since the new day starts at sundown according to Jewish tradition

New Beginnings are an absolute constant in life. God promised that His mercies were renewed every day - literally guaranteeing that every morning we start with a fresh start, a clean slate, and a renewed opportunity to live. Because of His goodness, we are invited to leave behind yesterday and boldly step into today.

If this year seems to be moving too fast or if you just want a new start, just wait, your new day is just hours away. :)

Constantly Renewed,
Tammy

P.S. The best part of all of these new beginnings is that you don't get to just start-over with the leftovers from yesterday but instead He makes all things new!
