The 7 Ups!

1. Wake Up !!

Decide to have a good day.
‘This is the day the Lord hath made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.’
Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !!  

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
‘The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart.’
I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.

‘He who guards his lips guards his soul.’
Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!

. . . for what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
‘Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good…’
Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!

. . to the Lord.
‘I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me’.
Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!
. . for something higher.
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.’
Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!
. . your Prayers.
‘Do not worry about anything; instead
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.’
Philippians 4:6  

A POSITIVE THOUGHT

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem ;
not to mention that Friday at Calvary .
Face it, He’s crazy about you.  

I thought this was mighty special, just like YOU.
Pass this on and brighten someone’s day, and remember . …

God answers Knee-Mail!

Not A  Joke!! Even If you  dislike attorneys….. You will love them for these  tips.

Read this and make a copy for your files in  case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should  all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent  the following out to the employees in his  company:

1. Do not  sign the back of your  credit  cards. Instead, put  ’PHOTO ID  REQUIRED.’

2. When  you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts,  DO  NOT put the complete  account  number on the ‘For’  line. Instead, just put the last four  numbers. The credit card company knows the  rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling  your check as it passes through all the check processing  channels won’t have access to it.

3. Put your  work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone.  If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home  address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work  address. Never have your  SS#printed on your  checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if  you have It printed, anyone can get it..

4. Place  the contents of your  wallet on a  photocopy  machine.. Do both sides of  each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you  had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and  phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in  a safe place.

I also carry a photocopy of my  passport when I travel either here or abroad. We’ve all  heard horror stories about fraud that’s committed on us  in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit  cards.

Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have first hand knowledge because my  wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieves  ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied  for a VISA credit card,  had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN  number from DMV to change my driving record information  online, and more.

But here’s some critical  information to  limit the damage in case this  happens to you or someone you know:

5.. We have  been told we should cancel our  credit  cards immediately. But  the key is having the toll free numbers and your card  numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where  you can find them.

6. File a  police  report immediately in  the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were  stolen. This proves to credit providers you were  diligent, and this is a first  step toward an investigation (if there ever is  one).

But here’s what is perhaps  most important of  all: (I never even  thought to do this.)

7. Call the  3 national credit  reporting organizations immediately to  place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line  number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by  a bank that called to tell me an application for credit  was made over the internet in my name.

By the time I was  advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft,  all the damage had been done. There are records of all  the credit checks initiated by the thieves’ purchases,  none of which I knew about before placing the alert.  Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the  thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone  turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in  their tracks.

Now, here are the numbers you  always need to contact about your wallet, if it has been  stolen:

1.) Equifax: 1-800-525-6285

2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

3.) Trans Union : 1-800-680 7289

4.) Social Security Administration  (fraud line):

1-800-269-0271

We pass  along jokes on the Internet; we pass along just about everything.

If you are willing to pass this  information along, it could really help someone that you  care about.

NOVEMBER 2nd 2009

I recently woke up with a dream-vision, where I was standing at the top of a canyon, looking down into the cliffs. I became aware of many of God’s children, hidden in the “cleft of the rocks”, but I realized that they have become so comfortable and complacent that most of them have fallen asleep.

Then the sound of the wind of the Spirit became audible, echoing between the cliffs of Mount Zion in the high places where the eagles soar, reverberating throughout the earth to awaken the heart of the Bride of Christ to call unto the Bridegroom, “Come Lord Jesus!  Come!”

This is a strong Word from the Lord, calling His Bride out of her spiritual slumber and lethargy to arise and take her place in the Kingdom to fulfill His assignments.

It is a time of repositioning under the counsel of the Holy Spirit to get every part of our lives and ministries in alignment with His Kingly rule.  Let us pray for enlightenment regarding God’s purposes for our lives in this hour.

We are called to deep intimacy with the Bridegroom, seeking face-to-face encounters with Him, but the purpose is to get to know His heart’s desire for a spotless, glorious Bride, and then to hear His instructions in order to co-labor with the Spirit to bring in the harvest, so that the whole earth be filled with the glory of the Lord.  

NEW APOSTOLIC MANTLES
New apostolic mantles are being released to those who are willing to go into the highways and the by-ways to call the people to the River of Life, so that they will be ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Some will prepare the way for His Kingdom by intercession.  Watchmen go to the watchtower to see what the Spirit is saying, for lives may depend on it! Some will go to release the Prophetic Word over specific regions and nations to bring alignment with His Kingdom rule.  Whatever you are called to do, DO IT!  DON’T DELAY!

The Spirit is calling and likewise the Bride will extend the call to the nations.  They are calling those who have hearing ears, those who are thirsty and those who are willing to come and drink of the water of life freely, for the coming of the Bridegroom draws near!

Revelation 22:17,20,21  “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

THE KEY WORD IS ”BALANCE”

We need to stay balanced.   While some are asleep in the secret place, getting stale because they do not give out, others are getting weary and heavy-laden (Matthew 11:28), because they do not get enough “refills”.

It is of utmost importance to “be being filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).  If you find yourself weary and worn out physically, emotionally or spiritually, it is time to stop the bus and make time to “wait” at the feet of Jesus, seeking His face.

HOLY SPIRIT “ENERGEIO”

During our recent mission trip to Zambia, I got exhausted by the extreme heat and suddenly found myself to be extremely tired.  When you get physically exhausted, you lose divine perspective and direction and you need replenishing.  As I was sitting with the Lord early in the morning, the song that Ron Kenoly sings about rising up with wings a s eagles (Isaiah 40: 28-30) came up in my spirit and immediately I felt the surging of the energeio of the Spirit rising up in me with an overwhelming joy.  God is so faithful! It was a fresh experience of the supernatural empowering of the Holy Spirit, the resurrection power, giving me all the strength I needed to soar and I was amazed at the immediate change in my spirit and soul, but especially in my physical body.  He will even quicken your mortal body with new strength!  GLORY TO GOD!  

Let us get intertwined with Him in worship while we wait on the sound of the Spirit to empower us with fresh vision and perspective to see from the heavenly viewpoint.  In the process our strength is renewed to take the Kingdom by force. If your spirit sings, your soul and body is refreshed and empowered, for the joy of the Lord is truly our strength.

The golden rule still applies:  First minister to the Lord in the inner court (the Holies of holies) and then go out to minister in the outer court, then back again for refilling, even several times a day to stay empowered in the glory of His Presence.

OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSING

We might have left some things undone, which He has told us to do, or we might have laid it aside and not having taken proper heed to His instructions, because we have regarded other things as more important and therefore procrastinated.  Distractions and false responsibilities might also have been the cause of not fulfilling what God has prepared for us, but God is gracious in giving us opportunity to get our lives and ministries in order, aligned with His will and Word.   There is one way, and that is to become still before Him, hear His instruction and step out by faith, doing His bidding in total obedience.   It might and most probably will require an offering, but this is His way of setting us up for favor and blessing!  

PRAY, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE!

Fear and uncertainty about tomorrow is also taking its toll amongst God’s people in these uncertain times, but this is not the time to give heed to negative voices.  Our ears and eyes need to be focused on the Word of the Lord, and therefore our hearing should be fine-tuned to only follow the voice of the Shepherd in full trust that He is able to perform His Word, if only we would believe. Now is the time to stand on God’s Word in unwavering faith and perseverance until it manifests.

The Lord has also been emphasizing the need to pray much in the Holy Spirit, until all other voices are quieted and our spirit man is strengthened.  Then pray INTO the Spirit to hear and to see with the eyes of your spirit what the Holy Spirit is saying.  When we know His will, let us pray with faith, believing His Word and commanding the obstacles to be removed.  Then simply believe that you receive what you ask in prayer and rejoice in His Word that says that you shall have whatsoever you ask.

Mark 11:22-24  “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

IF YOU DID THIS, REJOICE GREATLY, FOR YOUR ANSWER IS ON ITS WAY!  HALLELUYAH!!!  AMEN.
