With both July 1 and July 4 upon us in Canada and the United
States, both countries are celebrating their country, their
citizenship, their freedom.
Praise God for two amazing and
free countries! Praise God for free speech and freedom of
religion!
Praise God that Canada and the United States are side by
side and have each other in this world. It is not always that
one side of the border or the other side of the border realizes how
much a blessing it is to be separated by only a small strip of
'border' to separate the countries, cultures, politics and most
importantly -- the people.
We all, of both countries,
celebrate the same freedoms and the same hurts. We all love
and serve the same God, regardless of who is in political power in
each of the countries.
We are free to choose, free to love, free to move, free to
believe, free to speak. We are also free to lose, free to make
mistakes, free to choose wrong, free to hate, free to destroy and
free to live in division and chaos.
Hebrews 3:6 "But Christ, as a son, over His own house; whose house are
we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm
unto the end."
Many have said, "Oh, how I miss the good old days. What happened to
them? Can we ever get them back? When the power of God was so strong
that alcoholics and drug addicts came staggering into meetings and
were instantly delivered, never to go back to their sin and bondage.

The Calm Before The Storm
We are moving into a spiritual
time frame where the agendas of world
religions are about to collide.
I am speaking primarily of Islam and Judaism and I believe that
there are events unfolding right now, which may escalate into national
military threats between Iran and Israel in 2010.
Spiritual calendars are colliding – and other nations with
ideological alliances to both of these nations will be drawn into a
much greater global crisis.

Break Ties With Your Past
Wars
...
This dream shows us that you can get so used to warring in one area that you not only adapt but live in the environment of war, always warring and never resting. Another important facet in the dream is how at a certain age, she and her children experienced trauma and learn to live in and with the trauma. The Lord is saying, "I would have you enter into rest from the warfare and trauma of your past."

When It Pours
Moses prayed, “Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight” (Exodus 33:13).
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of one of those seasons where it seems somebody opened the floodgates and said, “Okay, throw everything and the kitchen sink this way and let’s see how this guy, this gal, handles it!”? The old saying “when it rains it pours” didn’t come out of nowhere. And it hardly seems likely that trouble and the favor of God are bound together. But they are.

Obeying God Will Not Always Give You Goosebumps
I am learning that many things I do are not because I "feel" led to do them...but because it is the right thing to do. Most of the "right" things I know to do take faith instead of feelings.
It's the prayer of faith that saves the sick, not the prayer of feeling (James 5:15).
I have seen more people receive their healing when I didn't even "feel" like praying for them...but I did anyway. Once I prayed for my sister who had a cyst the size of a golf ball in her ovary. I felt helpless and prayed what seemed like an unanointed, lifeless prayer. But hours later, she woke up with a warm sensation from her waist down, and the next day's x-ray showed the cyst was gone! I think the feeling part was meant for her, not for me.

Learning to Lean or Leaning to Learn?
“Who is this coming up out of the wilderness leaning upon her beloved?”
Then the Spirit spoke and said, “In order to learn the new ways to walk in this new time you must first learn to lean. You first must lean upon Me in order to learn from Me.”
