OBJECTION OVERRULED: I WILL BE WITH YOUR MOUTH

Moses spent 40 years in Egyptian palaces and the next 40 years in obscurity. In a series of events such as the burning bush, God called the prophet to proclaim to Pharoah deliverance for the children of Israel. (Ex. 3 & 4)

You can imagine - a shepherd, despised, with a history, feeling totally unworthy and inadequate to accomplish such a thing. Inadequate means lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose. A person unable to deal with a situation.

Echoing through Moses' mind the words rang out, "Who am I? I'm not qualified. I can't speak!" But God says, Objection Overruled: its not about you, its about Me and I will be with your mouth!

Can you relate? Good, because "God chooses the foolish to shame the wise; the weak to confound the strong...what is low and despised in the world...that no flesh may boast in the presence of the Lord." (I Cor 1:27-29)

The kingdom work God calls us to is not natural. Its supernatural and requires a great dependence on God; a humility and the fear of the Lord. In ourselves the task is too big for us. But, He promises to be with US and with our MOUTH!

The gravity of the challenge is in the capable hands of the One who made gravity. He will give you vision and/or bubble up words of life and truth in your belly. Rejoice! You're not alone! You shall speak!

Step forward as He leads. One man or woman of God is a majority!

The Lord says "I have kept you veiled and hidden” But I am about to remove the restraints, lift the veil and unleash you among the nations. You are one of My most valued treasures. You’ve been tried through fire and came forth as pure gold therefore, I have placed a crown upon your head because you are chosen, of a royal priesthood, Purposed and set apart for My Glory. You are mine.

“It is time My child, you are being unveiled” says the LORD.

Today I heard The Lord say two things that He is releasing for His children in the month of May, multiplication and miracles.

I was taken in to a vision and I could see open portals of glory over different Houses of Prayer that had been closed up for sometime because they were not allowing The Holy Spirit to have His way in God’s House but now they are not operating by the flesh or the workings of man but filled with The Power, Presence and Prayers of God.

I could see and hear the people weeping and crying before The Lord.

However, I could hear sounds and singing from Heaven and I saw Angels were descending and ascending from these white beams of light that appeared to be like ladder shoots from Heaven all around the sanctuary.

The atmosphere began to go from weeping to being stirred up as I could feel such joy and anticipation.

I saw these angels were very busy descending and ascending going up and down these white beams of light and they were each carrying something with them.. I saw as they were descending into the sanctuary they were bringing what appeared to be some type of boxes or Treasure Chests for some of the people. I would watch as they would sweep through the room observing snd watching the heart posture of the people.

For those who were fully engaged with Heaven and had their hands out praying with their palms lifted up, they would come by and place these Treasure Boxes at the feet of the person. I saw some who only had like one or two and a few others, their feet were surrounded with not just Treasure Boxes but also these beautiful long Treasure Chests.

These angels were so busy they would deliver these Treasures then go get more and they kept on going..

The more the people prayed and engaged with Heaven the more they multiplied.

The more they multiplied the bigger the portals of Heaven’s were opened.

As I looked at the Treasure Boxes that were at each person’s feet, each one was ornately wrapped and designed specifically for each individual and each one had beautiful description cards on them where nothing was the same.

It reminded me of Christmas time without a Christmas Tree. As I looked around the entire sanctuary the atmosphere began to change from mourning to joy and I began to get such an excitement in my spirit.

I was just like that little child at Christmas time waiting to see the expressions on each person’s face when they opened their eyes to see what The Lord has done and how He answered not just some of their prayers but All of their God aligned prayers.

Then I heard The Lord say this..Tell My people that “your” Miracle is right on the other side of those cries and pleas of despair, so open your eyes,receive My Faith and it is in that place you will find your beautiful Treasure of Victory.

Faith,Hope and Love are some of My gifts I send You from above!

Love,

Your Abba Father

An Audience of One!

By

Daniel Pontious

May 1, 2021

Years ago I used to suffered from paralyzing fear about standing and speaking in front of others. It was so bad that speech became my worst class in Grammar school as well as high school.

I did alright one on one with folks, but any time I would get in front of a crowd of people I would just freeze up. Fear of failure would grab a hold of me and I would just lose all ability to function. As a result, many people would criticise me because I had such bad stage fright. Then one night when I was about 16 I had a visitation from the Lord and He began to show me that I would be speaking in front of large groups of people, I felt like my worst nightmare was coming true. But the Lord told me that He would be with me and give me exactly what to say when I needed it.

He said to me that, "You need to realize that the only Audience that I need you to speak to is the, "Audience of One", and that the Father of Glory is really your only audience which you need to speak in front of." If I could speak in front of Him then He would give me the ability to speak in front of anyone, whether small crowds or large gatherings, it wouldn't matter, but tge key was to keep my eyes upon the "Audience of One!"

In life very often that one thing that seems to be your greatest challenge (or your largest hurdle), will become your area of greatest strength and ability, as God gives you victory over those situations and fears. He takes the things that you cannot do in your own strength and transforms them into the areas of your life that He pours His Power, Presence and ability through.

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" 1 Corinthians 1:27

Moses, when he was a young man, had a severe disability that most people don't realize in scripture, He couldn't speak right. Many believe he had a problem with stuttering.

"And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I AM NOT ELOQUENT OR A MAN OF WORDS, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and have a heavy and awkward tongue." Exodus 4:10

As a result he asked the Lord to send someone else, but God told him to take Aaron with him and that He would be with Aaron and His mouth. After that point you never see that issue appear again for him, (or at least it's not mentioned), but it was a natural challenge that he faced and a fear that he had to overcome.

Some of us need to see beyond our Inability into God's arena, and watch as He takes those issues we're dealing with and transforms them into abilities and strengths in His Hands.

I know what you're probably thinking, "I don't know how to do that!" Well you can do what I did, FOCUS ON THE AUDIENCE OF ONE! He is the source and resource of change in every one of our lives. The issues we face, that are so astronomical in our own sight, are instantly fixable by the "Audience of One." He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think.

With my transformation, the only thing that I can tell you, is that one night I went to bed covered by a spirit of timidity and awakened the next day BOLD AS A LION! God changed my issue overnight, the mountain that I had stood in front of for so many years and could never climb, He changed it into a molehill in one evening!

So if this morning you are facing an issue you can't seem to overcome, it's time to take the issue to the Audience of One, allow Him to make that issue into an ability, that weakness in your life into a great strength, and as He does your life will become a fountain of transformation for those around you.

Yesterday

I had a vision of a plumb line that became a spout that poured out so that lives would overflow— aligning them directly under the “tap” of what was pouring out. NOW...this comes up on my memories from one year ago where I wrote about alignment and opening our mouths for an overflow! WHAT?!

It’s Time For Your “Vats To Overflow!”

Kathi Pelton

Did you know that as believers we are not under the control of the chaos, confusion and circumstances of the world around us? The promises of God are above the bad reports of the earth below.

Today I was praying through the first and second chapters of the Book of Proverbs and I was so taken by the amazing wisdom that produces the promises of God to be made manifest in our lives as we “listen and obey.”

Here are just a few of them:

• If you cry out for insight and understanding, God will give you wisdom, knowledge and understanding. (2:1-4)

• As you receive wisdom, knowledge and understanding you will gain success! (2:6)

• As you live in integrity God will guard and protect your path. (2:7-9)

• As you walk in the wisdom of God you will be rescued from darkness. (2:9-20)

• As you live an upright life you will “inhabit the land and remain in it.” The wicked will be cut off and uprooted from it. (2:21-22)

• As you keep God’s commands He will give you many days, a full life and well-being. (3:1-2)

• As you hold fast to loyalty and faithfulness you will find favor WITH GOD AND MAN! (3:3-4)

• As you trust in the Lord and acknowledge His ways (not depending on your own understanding) He will guide you on the RIGHT paths. (3:5-6)

• As you fear the Lord and turn away from evil, healing will come to your body and strength to your bones. (3:7-8)

And, one last promise! This is a key one...

• As you honor the Lord with your processions and the first fruits of your increase He promises that YOUR BARNS WILL BE COMPLETELY FILLED AND YOUR VATS WILL OVERFLOW WITH NEW WINE!!

There are so many more promises that a lifestyle of wisdom and obedience ushers in. This is part of the amazing alignments that have been taking place. To live apart from obedience that comes from His wisdom is like trying to take a drink from a water fountain and turning it on but not aligning your mouth with the stream of water. The lack of alignment causes the flowing water to pour down the drain; never quenching your thirst.

We must open our spiritual mouths and then align our lives with the flowing wisdom that fills our lives to overflowing! Then our barns will be filled completely and the “vats” of our lives will overflow (a vat is a large tank that holds liquid). It’s time to hold the liquid of the new wine of His glory and His promises!

While the world eats of the “grapes of wrath” let us, as God’s people, be filled with the new wine that is grown in the vineyards of wisdom and oneness.

It’s time to align to drink the new wine!

A Close Relationship and Partnership

Pastor Debra Lowe

April 24, 2021

“I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My Strength to carry you through.

I have told you that My Yoke is easy and My Burden is light. I lighten your load when you choose to cast every care on Me.

Don’t allow the cares and worries to shift the weight over on your shoulders, otherwise you would tire out and become exhausted.

I will adjust the weight, so that you may bear it and come out with the victory over them. I AM well able to carry what you can’t.

We must stay in harmony, step by step, you can not be found dragging behind or racing ahead of Me.

Do not be frustrated with life, but rather choose My effectiveness, you will find less struggle, and in so doing you will not be self-sufficient but God-dependent.

If you operate under feeling self-sufficient, you then become prideful and will be easily deceived by our enemy. His desire is for you to be wary of waiting for My help.

He wants you to turn again to your own arm of the flesh, and to be under your own strength. I AM faithful to you and My Word, I will keep you, as I have in times past and proven Myself trustworthy.

I will not let you down now in your hour of need. Will you trust Me now in this new testing and trouble?

Remember, everything that the enemy meant for your harm, I will turn it for your good. For I will cause you to ride upon new heights and will restore to you all that has been lost or seemingly destroyed.

You know Me, I AM the arms that you can lean upon, do not lean on your understanding, it will not hold you.

My care for you at times of testing is greater by far than you will ever know. You may not understand at this moment what it is that I AM working out for you, but I AM always ahead of you in preparation.

I require you to pull from My Grace daily and when it seems darkest, to remember that My Light never goes out.

My Light keeps the dark from overtaking you. I AM there with you, whispering words of love and healing.

You will experience for yourself My deep intensive care for that I shower on those who have been in a furnace of affliction.

Trust Me even now, cast down the strongholds of anxiety, worry, despair, discouragement, and doubt. Rehearse My Word over your life, knowing that I will supply your every need.

Stop the lies and question of the enemy, that tries to make you not rely on your only Hope. I want you to be free, not encumbered by so many things that hinder your ears from hearing Me, and entangle your mind with webs of deceit and untruths.

Don’t stand aloof and back off from Me, you must come close so that I can minister to you in a greater degree. I will revive you and restore the joy of your Salvation!”

“Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say. Then I can show other guilty ones how loving and merciful you are. They will find their way back home to you knowing that you will forgive them.” Psalm 51:12-13.

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]” 1 Peter 5:6-7.

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood] . Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,” 1 Corinthians 10:3-5.
