that we are a church that wants to make sure that all people who come by a

personal visit or  those who visit the website to know that “Jesus” is alive.

We are a church alive with thepresence of the Lord, and know that without Him,

all we would have is just religion.

So many times we are driven by our own thoughts and ways, when God is trying to

get us to a place where we can experience Him, grow spiritually and be apart of family.

There is so many hurting today, and it is impossible to reach everyone, but it is our

heart as it is the heart of God, for us all to reach one.  Maybe your that one today,

one who is ready for a change, and not only a change but a transformation.  The Bible

tells us that Christ makes all things “new”.

What in the world are you waiting for, invite Jesus in to your life, to save you, to

heal you, to make you, to give you back your song and your life….Life can be good,

but it is REAL good with Jesus….Have a blessed day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Behold, He makes all things new…a New Covenant, a new creation

in Christ, a new identity in Christ, a new spirit…

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a *new* creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become *new*.

“I see that the Lord is always with me, I will not be shaken,

for he is right beside me.

No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises!”

My body rests in hope. (Acts. 2:25-26

Peter quoting Joel from the Old Testament says Ac 2:17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”

A vision from God is one that reveals something not otherwise seen by natural sight. In as much as vision reveals direction it can become prophetic in nature.

Any Spiritual gift is up for discerning judgment by those who are spiritual. So as I share this I assure you that I am under no illusions of my being a “prophet”. Nor do I share this asking you to accept it as infallible for I am flesh and blood. Let us approach this with the filter of the Word of God and the discerning Holy Spirit brings.

The Dream:

I am on a vessel moving through dangerously shallow waters. This vessel, a large ship which seems to be military, was designed for much deeper water it is clear. On the bank of the water is a man dressed in Admirals attire flanked on both sides by people in dark clothing. At first I wonder why they are not on board the ship and I quickly realize they were not on board but wanted to be. They watched in awe as the vessel moved on and left them bewildered.

We make a hard starboard turn just in time to avoid a collision with another vessel. That vessel appeared to be attempting to ram us. I could see the disgust on the helmsman’s face as we avoided contact.

Moving along the water the depth was increasing. It is as if sand bars in front of us suddenly have passage ways cut through them giving us the room we need to go through without hindrance. I see a “man” standing apparently on the water beside a “pole”. The grin on his face lets me know he is “a friendly”. As we pass the pole I see him pull on the pole and looking under the boat beneath the water I see an obstacle moved just in time for us to miss hitting it. I could not see the object before that moment. It seemed clear the object had secretly been placed there to do damage to the progress we were making.

Suddenly we were in deep smooth water with no fear or obstructions in sight.

Before I share my interpretation let me clarify:

            My interpretation came as I lay awake in the early morning hours considering with amazement that which I had seen and I tried to write it down accordingly. Also, when I refer to the “enemy” I am not referring to any person but Hell’s forces. Any of us can unwittingly be used by the enemy if not very careful. The enemy of the Church, all the Body of Christ not just those at TLC, has always been Satan and His forces.

While the Church is made of individuals who are each precious to the Lord, the attack was not after one particular person but the “whole system” of the Church at True Life Church. The intent was to discredit, defame, and destroy this part of God’s Kingdom. It was a concentrated effort to take out the influence intended for it to have. The intention was further too negatively reflect on the reputation of God.

My interpretation

            True Life Church is like a large strategically assigned military vessel on a mission of mercy. It had been commandeered, seized and stolen away by powers of wickedness.

It had been taken out of the mighty waters of the deep it was designed for. It had been brought through the marshes and narrow passages of danger to a remote location. There was a sense of vulnerability, solitude, and isolation from help.

The intention of the enemy had been to beach it, batter it, break it apart, and burn the memory. He intended to dismantle piece by piece in order to decimate the “crew”.

While enemy powers still desire the same end they are standing helplessly on the bank having been evicted off the ship. No one needs to fear these frauds and trespassers. They no longer have control of God’s territory.

High authorities in Hell’s kingdom had been assigned to orchestrate this folly and are watching in amazement as the vessel escapes their designed plans. While they have been stunned into silence they are not inactive. Yet they have lost their ability to control and hold the ship back.

The Ship is moving on course back toward the deep waters it was designed for. We are doing well, but not there yet. She holds potential she has never fulfilled. She will flow and function as designed by the Master Designer.

She is in the process of maneuvering back toward her place and purpose with the speed and agility of a sleeker more maneuverable vessel.

Collisions have been avoided with others “sent” on assignment. Unseen obstacles angels have been sent to move. Heb 1:14″ Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” God is opening the way even through what would naturally ground the Ship like a sand bar. The Great Helper, Comforter, the Holy Spirit is guiding the course.

The Ship will be finding deep water unexpectedly soon.

There are three elements that seemed to be critical for keeping the Ship in deep calm water.

The deep waters will be sustained in and by Grace, Truth and Spirit. Joh 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” We must give ourselves to “digging deep wells” of Grace, Truth and Spirit.

As we get a grip on Grace and it’s meaning to our life, it will also flow through us into others. A deep current of grace will occur.

We must learn to abide in the Word and to allow the Word to abide in us. It is not enough for truth to be known, God’s truth must become our life’s blood.

As we become aware of Holy Spirit’s presence and daily walk in awareness of Him we will deepen the wells of the Spirit.

We must seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and let Him do for us what we need. We must not allow those who designed our demise to preoccupy our thoughts. We must not allow anything to take our eyes off the Lord and the glory of His Kingdom. As we behold Him and hold on to Him He will enable us to vanquish the enemy and overcome. Jesus has already defeated the enemy but this is part of our walking out the earthly part of our salvation.

As you give honor to the Lord the dishonor of the enemy will be manifest and fuel their disarming and destruction. Leave all revenge to God. He is jealous for His Beloved.

I have shared recently how I had felt restrained by God from asking people at TLC to fast and pray. The reason was twofold. One, God wants to get the glory for what He does and for man to have no grounds of feeling boastful over his actions. Secondly; due to the trauma of the past few years and the price they levied upon the souls of individuals, the people needed to “rest in the Lord” and be refreshed not pressed.

But NOW, not for the purpose of a “breakthrough” or to have needs met, we need to fast and pray. The purpose of the fasting and prayer would be to deepen our connection with God and increase our intimacy with Him. This will lead to grace being poured upon us and through us. It will lead to revelation truth ignited in us. The revelation will be specific understanding of truth that will bring in more of the fullness of God. As we apply the truth, Holy Spirit awareness and working will increase and God’s grace will be great upon us all.

Amen.
