Evermore

This song has been on repeat for several days now. I follow Vicki Yohe on Periscope where she streams live while driving around town; she sings and ministers almost daily on there. A few days ago she sang, Evermore, and it's been on repeat ever since.

QUOTES:

"Though our gifts are a beautiful part of who we are, they do not make up our identity. We are sons and daughters first, loved before we ever set our hands to anything, believed in before we even attempt prove ourselves worthy. When we come to that place of confidence and security, knowing that the Father loves us and is proud of us regardless of our abilities or success, we can create and explore without the pressure to strive or produce. We are set free as artists when we step into our identity as beloved children. " - The 18inch Journey. Allie Sampson, Writer for Cageless birds

God gives us the gift of discernment to protect us from those who hide behind God .

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah's question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit. - 1 Corinthians 2:16 THE MESSAGE

If you think of this world as a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place of training and correction an it's not so bad. - CS Lewis

Don Nori Sr. - When I have to use fleshy tactics to “build His Kingdom”, in reality, I am actually building my kingdom. Jesus does not need the help of my fleshy stuff to build His glorious kingdom. He does not need my deceptive antics to gather money, men or magnitude. He must increase, I must decrease. --Manuscript in progress.

~~It's always been You and me. That's how You designed it to be. So when those times come when it feels like only me. Please remind me that it's still You and me because that's how You intended it to be. ~~. EU

I'm not going through what I'm going through because of something in my yesterdays. I'm going through what I'm going through because of something in my tomorrows.-- Mark Chirona

God wants to kill your "Old Man." Satan wants to kill your "New Man."

People only bring up your past when they are intimidated by your present or future! — Christal Evans

The lie you struggle with today is connected to a truth the enemy knows about your future.

PROPHECY IS :

-Prophecy is simply learning to hear God speak and giving it away.

-"A spontaneous manifestation of God's grace, received by revelation, (sometimes as a vision, at other times as impressions or thoughts) and spoken by the Spirit through a Christian who has been given a gift of prophecy , in the language of those who hear the prophetic word spoken."

-The word prophecy means to "bubble up, to flow forth, or to cause to drop like rain."

-The true church, just before Jesus returns, will again have the gift of prophecy, because it keeps the law of God by faith in Christ.

-Proclamation- official public announcement

-Speaking God's word with power, revealing all His mysteries and making everything plain as day.

-Inspired speech

-Prophecy deals with the future; word of knowledge deals with the past and present."

-Prophecy is "an inspired message or prediction transmitted orally or in writing."

- truth speaking

-"The end purpose of all true prophecy is to build up, to admonish, and to encourage the people of Cod. Anything, that is not directed to this end is not true prophecy.

This basic purpose of true prophecy is stated in 1 Corinthians 14:3:

KJV: "He that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and comfort."

NIV: But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.

Amplified Bible: But [on the other hand], the one who prophesies [who interprets the divine will and purpose in inspired preaching and teaching] speaks to men for their upbuilding and constructive spiritual progress and encouragement and consolation"

QUOTES:

We have been sold a bill of goods. We allowed man to set the standards for what it means to be called, sent, to be pleasing to God. Man's standards leave most of us striving after the wind, boxing the air, shouting words in the desperate struggle to find our worth. Damn those words that bind us, that keep us focused man's definition of success instead of God's. -Don Nori

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace."

"True prophetic ministry is looking for gold in the midst of the dirt in people's lives."

"Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you - rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! Isaiah 60:1(Amplified Bible)

The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. (Prov 28:1)

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 AMP

"sometimes in modern society it can be hard living for the Kingdom, b/c it seems like everyone in the church is living for the world. Its hard to know b/c we come out of the water and its all the same territory. God says I want you to look up and live for something else. Love, love, love like Paul did, and everyone may reject you and your gonna feel like your giving it all and getting nothing back. Just keep doing it, b/c its wise." Jason Upton

There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular. - Luke 6:26 THE MESSAGE

Release it!

"Jesus didn't say: "According to God's will let it be done for you"
Jesus did say: "According to your faith let it be done for you"
