In prayer this morning I was reminded of the last year and how far I’ve come. How following Jesus Christ, no matter what the outcome, can produce a life you’ve never imagined.
When you stop falling for fear based compromises and truly walk out in faith to what you’re called to do, you’ll experience things beyond your comprehension. You’ll find your true identity when you lose your life in Christ.
I was reminded how messy and treacherous it can appear when the Lord tears through the lives of those called and chosen to Him, to rend you away from the grip of the sin of this lukewarm world; and pulls you in closer than you’ve ever been before. Snatching you from the grave.
A love that pierces every cell of your physical body. A love that transcends time, spirit and matter. An incomprehensible consummation of your entirety.
The jealous love of Jesus Christ our savior, the Lord of our lives. The love made available to each and every one of us through His death and resurrection. The choice is always ours.
Choose Jesus. Choose now.
I heard Him whisper softly “Will they let me mess it up Ash? Will they let me into their lives to disrupt their daily routines? Will they let me change their prayers? Will they hear me when I speak?
Will they let me into their churches Ash? The ones they swore that I’m a part of but I’ve never been invited to.
Will they let me sit at their tables if I decide to flip them? Will they even recognize me when I walk into the room?!
Will they walk away from death for life? Do they know what life looks like? Or do they only know the world?
Come out from among them and be ye separate, children of God!!”
How many people play church for the prize of religion, endless struggles, unanswered prayers, and hamster wheel copy cat works; when Jesus died for a relationship and for the daily victory in our lives over every obstacle that we face; because we face them in His name?!
The power is in His blood, His word and His presence. The victory lies in the gifted Holy Spirit of Christ found within each of us.
We crave eternal never ending communion with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in His kingdom of Heaven. Positioning Heaven as the ultimate goal, when death does not lead to salvation.
Jesus clearly states on earth as it is in Heaven. Which means Heaven is attainable now through daily communion with the Holy Spirit of the living God! Salvation is now! Communion with the living God is now!
The ultimate goal is to walk out this word and its truth each and every day. To rise above the troubles and cares of the flesh and its desires, to resist temptations, and to be spirit led, kingdom minded and eternity bound; in Jesus mighty name! To draw near to Him as He draws near to you. To build your own relationship with the Lord by spending time in the word, prayer, praise and worship. To take the time to listen, and take action to obey.
Stop being the double minded squirrel in the middle of the road. Stop sitting on the devils lukewarm fence thinking you haven’t made a choice. You’re only safe if you take God’s side, moving toward Jesus on His narrow way.
The Lord is calling for prayer. He’s calling for consecrated, fasted intercessors who will listen twice as much as they speak. Who will pray heavenly orders from the throne room or will pray nothing at all. It’s time to fast and to pray in sanctification. It’s time to obey. It’s time to rise up and it’s time to take ground in Jesus mighty name.
This is your call to step up and step out. To be led in obedience, without fear of man, fearing only the separation from God for all eternity.
This is the clarion call for 2025. Pray, Fast, Obey.
I feel the Lord calling for 24 hour prayer, fasting, corporate fasting, and a swift complete obedience to His voice that will pour out His Heavenly Healing upon the nation.
It starts with you! The miracles are outside of your comfort zone! Do what you’re called to do. Let others do what they’re called to do, and let’s celebrate the collective work of the Holy Spirit here on earth.
It’s as simple as that.
There are days we think we have it together, and days we really don’t. There are days you just want to go grocery shopping and are bombarded with the overwhelming presence of the Lord leading you to ask the cashier if she needs prayer.
This is your reminder to step out of fear, into faith and to ask the weird questions. To step beyond the normal and into the peculiar.
That’s where you’ll find out that she’s the manager and her assistant just called off today because her chemo port was infected and she was sent to the hospital. The same day we were sent there, randomly on a drive. You’ll stand together in the middle of the store praying in agreement for total healing and restoration; and you’ll realize that being inconvenienced in the flesh for the Glory of Jesus Christ….Is ALWAYS worth it.
Pray, Listen, Obey! It’s time to get off the fence and take the ground you’re destined to take in Jesus mighty name. People are counting on you!
