I John 2:27 "the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him."
I John 3:10 "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God."
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide in you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
Galatians 3:7,14,26,28-29 "Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham."
"That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
As children, do we receive from our Father as He has designed it to be?
Maybe we think we are still slaves to our Father. Like the story of the prodigal son, we so often think of ourselves less than what God made us. That, in itself is an insult to our Creator. He created us to be companions to Him, not slaves. Our spiritual journeys are all different, however once we have the revelation of being heirs to the throne, we realize that we are made for a divine reason. The LORD has too many words affirming our sonship for us to deny His purpose for our existence.
When we are as children we ask and ask and ask... for things and gifts and etc...
When we are as sons(daughters) we listen and listen and listen... for the heart of the Father.
Then in faith we act. If we are too busy always trying to get something out of our relationship with the Father we will not see the real reason for a relationship: give and receive.
When was the last time you asked the Father, "what can I be for You?" Even Jesus had to take a break from the crowds who drained and continually asked for healing and teaching. Maybe we as "sons" should allow Jesus to lay His head and rest comfortably in our presence. Give Him a reason to confide in us what His heart is, so we can have a chance to give our hearts to Him and receive His heart. He has already given us His kingdom, remember we are heirs. We need to be asking what He wants for us and what His hearts plea is for us.
Yes I did use the word "be", because it would sound funny if the LORD asked us to "do thankful" or "do faithful". Sounds fake, right? God does not want us to do, do. He wants us to be, be. I believe that is why we are called "human beings" not "human doings". Yes, be thankful, be faithful, be caring, be, be, be.
The only way to-"be made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself."(Ephesians 1:9)- is to listen to His voice and absorb Him like a son absorbs his father when his father is teaching him the wonderful things of life.
Sons minister to their fathers in ways only a son can. As a father I enjoy when my son comes to me and asks my input on a project he is doing. I give him my ideas and encourage him to use his talents and abilities to create and build whatever he has his heart set on. That encourages me.
He does not realize it but I encourage him to be what it is he can be. I do not just tell him, do this or do that and it will work. I want him to figure things out. It makes him become more of what he was designed to become if he has the freedom to grow.
I could just give him the answer, it may make him happy quickly, and get his project done, however in the long run he will not have the chance to use who he is to overcome his current obstacles.
I truly believe our heavenly Father is similar. We can ask for this or that, and He will encourage us to become what is necessary to obtain the goal of what we asked for in the first place.
It is not the end result of the goal that is the most important thing to us, it is who we have become in the process.
-------------------------------
The LORD has called me to become a minister to ministers, and I have stepped out in faith and in most cases jumped out in faith and He has always been right there taking great care of us. I know that when we are in His will for our lives we have His favor. We are believing for the property on which the LORD revealed the location of the ministerial/leadership retreat. It has been about 6 years since the plan was written down. I believe this is the year of fruition. If you could join us in believing and praying for the finances for the land and the building phase, we would be most grateful.

Understanding the Purpose of Enemies...
"A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends." - Baltasar Gracian
"An enemy is to delay, distract, or destroy your destiny."
The enemy will use criticism, we must learn how to affirm and encourage others.
Matthew 5:11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake."
Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."
The enemy will use unforgiveness, we must discover how to forgive others.
Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"
Matthew 8:21-22 "Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
The enemy will use bitterness, we must discover how to be a better person.
Hebrews 12:15 "looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;"
James 3:13 "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom."
The enemy will use greed, we must discover that to live is to give.
The enemy will use fear, we must discover how to use faith.
Proverbs 29:25 "The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe."
2Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Enemies make you known.
?Who knew David before Goliath?
I Samuel 18:7 "So the women sang as they danced, and said: “Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.”
Enemies make you stronger and prepare you for the next battle.
I Samuel 17:37 "Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!”
Enemies teach you to give God praises.

Do you want to be sent?
Mark 6:7-13
vs8. "He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff - no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts-." (NKJ)
Don't wait until you have the provision to start the journey. If the LORD calls you or sends you, then GO! Faith is in the action of believing the LORD has it all under control. If we wait until we are comfortable then there is no faith to make a move. He wants us to step out in faith to build our spiritual muscles. Without the burn of the muscles there is no growth. I do not want the comfortable couch sitting spiritual life. I want a daily burning of my muscles, the pain means it is being pushed to its limits. Without pushing there is not growth, and without growth we are as lukewarm, and I do not want to be vomit in the LORDs mouth. (Revelation 3:16).
Fifteen months ago the LORD told me to GO.
We were living in Indianapolis and we were actively listening daily to what the LORD had in store for us. He told me that I would be provided for and to only take $50 in cash with me on my 2000 mile journey from Indianapolis, IN to Sandpoint, ID. Now I did start with 150 gallons of fuel just for the record. The journey was a leap of faith in my eyes and a crazy decision in others eyes. I knew if the LORD said to GO, He would take care of my needs. I went and in three months when I flew back to Indianapolis to pack my family I still had some money. I drove all over three counties of North Idaho all under the direct instruction of the LORD. Not only did he provide a supernatural filling of my belly and gas tank, He also had me meet many key people that would turn out to be even greater blessings than I could ever dream.
If we could only believe in others the way I was believed in and accept when others believe in us as well. We could change the course of this world.
The LORD wants us to use what we have available for His purpose and then allow the Holy Spirit to give increase in knowledge. As we walk in what we have.
He will take care of us in the midst of turmoil, stress, and other worldly going ons.
I learned in this that I needed to "break" standard doctrine and start the Holy Spirit leading in my life.
Ephesians 4:11-16 (NKJ)
11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."
Of course all scripture should be paired with Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever".
Since there is no time in His time. He is the author of time and He says He is always the same. Which means everything that was written in the BIBLE is still active for today's people. If I had only known that many years earlier...

Galatians 2:20
Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me."
1.)[I have been crucified with Christ] I have given up my flesh to Christ. I do not desire worldly things. I only desire what the Father has for me. I give up freely my life because He gave His life for me first. That is LOVE.
2.)[No longer I who live] I am dead, I am only a vessel. I have no life in me. This shell is only for the LORD's work. I do not want that which entices others. I will not live life in sin and without respect to my Creator. I will live as Christ - not imitation, but duplication.
3.)[Christ lives in me] Christ lives in this shell of a "life" to create a spectacular disciple and son of the Father in Heaven. I am not an imitator I am a duplication of JESUS Christ due to the Holy Spirit filling me and renewing my mind. He controls, by my choice, my heart.
4.)[Live by faith] The external flesh of mine is now alive because of the Holy Spirit in me. Now the external proof of my duplication is my faith in what I cannot see. When I exude faith, my spirit exudes Christ likeness. Christ through faith followed the Fathers will, even to excruciating torture and death. I should not be afraid if I have to endure. Faith is the archenemy of fear. My faith should be stronger than any physical, mental, or spiritual hurdles. Glory to God, He will be our total comfort and provider.
5.)[Who Loved] He loved us so much, why do we question anything He wants us to do? He sacrificed and loved. Now it is our turn to do the same for Him. We should sacrifice and love completely and without any hindering thoughts. "Because He first loved us". We should be eager to do everything, exactly how and when He wants.
His timing is timely, our idea of time is a mess.

Mark 9 Revelation
Jesus was walking and heard a group of people arguing, the disciples were arguing among themselves.
A young man had a demon, a mute and deaf spirit.
-Why have we as Christians lost our stronghold of faith?-because we have become selfish (fleshly).
The disciples were not trying to heal the boy. The boys father came up to the disciples and asks "who is the greatest amongst you?" -so the disciples were arguing about which one was greater. They did not even try or attempt to try to heal the boy.
Jesus approaches and sees and knows exactly what is going on. As He comes near the father of the demon possessed boy runs to Him. [and there are many who need healing in this crowd, but the disciples are too busy trying to figure out which one is greater to just heal in Jesus's name].
Jesus asks "What are you discussing?" He knows of course but wants them to admit it. The man said "I brought my son so he may be healed. I spoke to Your disciples so that they should cast him out, but they could not." Jesus rebukes them for not having faith. He knows they could have healed him if they were not to busy arguing about who was better to do it. All Jesus did to heal the boy was looked at him and said "you deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more!" Jesus looked at it and called it out by name and commanded it to leave.
Jesus tells us (vs 23) "If you can believe; all things are possible to him who believes." Our unbelief is what limits us. If we get rid of our unbelief and replace it with belief then anything, "ALL THINGS" are possible!
Afterward the disciples were asking Jesus "Why could we not cast him out?" Belief comes though prayer and fasting. When we strip away our flesh and rely on God to do through us instead of us doing things or worrying about things. We live by faith and our belief grows and makes it possible to accomplish any and all things.
A few days after this incident Jesus questioned His disciples "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?" Of course they were ashamed and did not respond, they stayed silent because they knew why they did not heal anyone then. They were too busy arguing about which disciple would be the greatest.
-Pride stopped them- They were relying on their talents they thought were theirs.
Jesus explained that who ever desires to be first, he shall be last of all and a servant to all.
Then John brought up someone who was casting out demons in Jesus's name but was not part of their group - they were not direct disciples of Christ "One of the 12". The disciples forbade them to cast out demons because they were not a part of the group of 12. Jesus rebuked them (vs 39) He also said "any one who is not against us in on our side".
People today sure think they have all the answers but fail to realize that Christ is much bigger than them. He has placed truth all over to be sought out and discovered. He places truth among the "body" so the body may search each other out and add to their picture of truth. The individual parts of the body cannot hold the whole truth, it would be overwhelming. So it is spread over the entire body. As we gather together we find new (to us) truth in the great picture of truth.
Healing and miracles are for NOW. They did not just happen for Jesus and His 12 disciples. Mark tells us this in Chapter 9 v 39. The person they refer to was not even in the crowd that followed Jesus directly. He still did it in Jesus's name to bring glory and honor to Jesus and the Father.
We need to know that we do not have all the answers. We need to know that our "church" or denomination does not have all the answers. Only a piece of it is found in those places.
The real full truth in in the body of Christ because Jesus is the truth and He is the whole truth.

Personal Revelation of YHWH
Revelation 4:1 - visions and revelations to John...
We must take on the challenges of the day, week, month, year to grow toward a most pure relationship. This will build character. Then and only after we are able to stand for our faith in the peace of YHWH. That is when He will bring us to the level of the revelation of His next step or next development in us. He wants to see us obedient and faithful so He can release more revelation of His self in and though us.
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Well we are all finally here in North Idaho... East Hope, ID to be exact.
We are so blessed to be here...
Our house faces the proposed property. We have removed our vision board with photos of the property to now just looking out the massive windows of our house and seeing the property first hand.
It has been in interesting journey, however we have been blessed beyond our wildest imaginations. We know the LORD is not through with blessing us. His promises are true and real and we are experiencing them daily.
Who could have ever thought that someone who was 2400 miles away would just pack up a family of 6 and GO? Obedience to the LORDs WORD always has promise attached to it. We are reaping what we have sown over the past few years.
Thank you LORD for your continued support and Faithfulness to us.
Our family is so excited, they know something is coming. Do you remember when you were a child and you knew you had something special coming the next day... you could not sleep... you could not think of anything except that surprise that was going to be handed to you?
That is exactly what our family is experiencing. Not many will understand, however not many need to understand... Only we need to understand what the LORD has called us to do.
We know our calling is to minister to those in ministry and missionaries. We want to shower them with the LOVE of the Heavenly Father without restraint. Unconditional, Fatherly, Agape LOVE is what we are all about.
The LORD has been revealing to us all those that are apart of this adventure. He has brought together people from all over the world and connected us to them. It is amazing how He works things out.
I was here 10 weeks on my own without my family and it was hard. The LORD took care of me and my family and you know He introduced me to two highly important people a week while I was here in the Northwest. He led me daily and I followed Him, even when I did not think it made any sense. To tell you the truth it really did not make any physical fleshly sense. Since I obeyed even though it may have sounded strange He blessed me with people and new friends all over the place.
I really enjoy His leading. I had it all wrong before...
I always thought I had the ideas and I made the decisions and I acted upon my choices. NOPE!
He gives the ideas and the "suggestions" and I obeyed and He blessed and prospered me out of this fleshly world's perspective.
Who on earth gets to live in a house, that should have about a $3300 mortgage, for under $1000? On a beautiful mountain overlooking a magnificent lake with more room than a family of 6 can even fill... I call that a miracle and blessing of the LORD!
Who gets to enjoy their spouse all day and enjoy their children when they are home?
Another Miracle from my LORD!
People outside of His family question us about the craziness of our decisions and our life style of the Blessed and Miraculous. We do not need any explanations, HE shows all what and why He does what He does in His own timing.
We love all people and will always love all people. We know those that do not understand now, will get their own revelation from the Holy Spirit and when that comes... what a rejoicing day in Heaven that will be!
Well Heather has a class in the morning and I probably should be off to bed...
Until next time...
May the LORD Bless all that you do and be prosperous for His Kingdom.
Building the Kingdom through Christ's LOVE,
N8
We are so blessed to be here...

Our family is so excited, they know something is coming. Do you remember when you were a child and you knew you had something special coming the next day... you could not sleep... you could not think of anything except that surprise that was going to be handed to you?
That is exactly what our family is experiencing. Not many will understand, however not many need to understand... Only we need to understand what the LORD has called us to do.
We know our calling is to minister to those in ministry and missionaries. We want to shower them with the LOVE of the Heavenly Father without restraint. Unconditional, Fatherly, Agape LOVE is what we are all about.
The LORD has been revealing to us all those that are apart of this adventure. He has brought together people from all over the world and connected us to them. It is amazing how He works things out.
I was here 10 weeks on my own without my family and it was hard. The LORD took care of me and my family and you know He introduced me to two highly important people a week while I was here in the Northwest. He led me daily and I followed Him, even when I did not think it made any sense. To tell you the truth it really did not make any physical fleshly sense. Since I obeyed even though it may have sounded strange He blessed me with people and new friends all over the place.
I really enjoy His leading. I had it all wrong before...
I always thought I had the ideas and I made the decisions and I acted upon my choices. NOPE!
He gives the ideas and the "suggestions" and I obeyed and He blessed and prospered me out of this fleshly world's perspective.
Who on earth gets to live in a house, that should have about a $3300 mortgage, for under $1000? On a beautiful mountain overlooking a magnificent lake with more room than a family of 6 can even fill... I call that a miracle and blessing of the LORD!
Who gets to enjoy their spouse all day and enjoy their children when they are home?
Another Miracle from my LORD!
People outside of His family question us about the craziness of our decisions and our life style of the Blessed and Miraculous. We do not need any explanations, HE shows all what and why He does what He does in His own timing.
We love all people and will always love all people. We know those that do not understand now, will get their own revelation from the Holy Spirit and when that comes... what a rejoicing day in Heaven that will be!
Well Heather has a class in the morning and I probably should be off to bed...
Until next time...
May the LORD Bless all that you do and be prosperous for His Kingdom.
Building the Kingdom through Christ's LOVE,
