Hi There.... Just a quick note. I posted on my blog about going to the Angelic Court.... I was then asked several times to lead a group in going there..
I really didn't have peace to do that so I declined.... I felt bad but had to obey the Lord... Turns out that Ian taught about the Courts and he said the first thing to do is to cleanse your imagination.
To do that we say Jesus.. and wait till we sense Holy Spirit . Then we tell the Lord that we've seen this and don't want it in our memory banks. Then we Ask the Lord to forgive us (don't give the devil a man to fight with), and then ask the Lord to cleanse our imaginations. He might show you a picture about this.
Then we step back physically and release the glory/victory that we have received. Pic by picture this is how it's done. Trust me... so many times I would be seeking the Lord and all this junk would come up... That's because the devil doesn't want you receiving anything from Heaven! So agree with God and cleanse your imagination..... And I bet Holy Spirit will show you what not to watch in the future! LOl.
Finally, remember it's all done by faith. We do it by faith enough and then God gives us the reality of what we are doing. Hallelujah! Takes time for some of us to have our eyes opened and that's okay! I was a logical thinker too!
You can look up some great teaching about the mobile court on youtube too.
Have a great day!

Don't Lose YOUR Voice
A while ago someone praying over me told me that I was getting back the voice that I had lost. I didn't understand what she meant at the time so I filed it away and asked God about it every so often.
This morning I heard Pastor Mark Redner teaching about taking dominion over things, situations and circumstances and the light bulb went off.
Somehow, through discouragement I had allowed myself to quit walking by faith. The Bible says that we are supposed to walk by faith and not by sight but can I tell you that sometimes your sight can overwhelm your faith?
I never would have thought it could happen to me, but it can, even to seasoned faith talker like me.
The accusations of people, the niggling thoughts about nothing's changing, the self doubts that the enemy plays in your head all attack the promises and destiny that God has for you.
We need to be ever vigilant to take those negative thoughts captive and to make the effort to hang out with other people of like mind. An analogy that fits is, 'one coal by itself will soon go out but many coals together keep each other burning.'
We are in a real war. I need, we need to act like soldiers. As difficult as that can be we need to remember that we are bought with a very high price and we are not our own.
"Calling things that be not as though we are" is not a habit that we can let slide. If we ever want things to change we have to keep on doing the things that have brought us this far.
The other thing that Pastor pointed out that I thought was really appropriate was that we can't wait for our friends or family to get fixed before we go on with God. As tough as it is we have to let them wallow in the pigsty if that's what they choose to do. You can only hold your hand out so long before you'll get a crick in your back. If they are that insistant that they want to live their lives the way they choose-- then that's their choice. We have to honor that freedom to choose and move on with our lives.
Is it difficult to do this? You bet! Especially with family members! All we can do is keep decreeing the promises of God over their lives and bind the enemy and leave them with the Father. That's what faith does.
Nothing is worth sacrificing your fellowship with the Lord. Nothing. Without him we are nothing and apart from him we can do nothing! (John 15: )
On that note I got out my thankful confessions this afternoon and started speaking them out loud. Hallelujah! Do you know that I've seen lots of breakthroughs because of these confessions? Yes.... it's really true. Someone once said, "We make our habits, then our habits make us." I want good habits, so I can leave a legacy of encouraging words, videos and people healed and delivered.
Impossible? Nope! Nothing is impossible for God! He loves impossible situations! It's his opportunity to shine brightly in your life.
So What do you think? Has anyone or anything stolen your voice for a season? Are there promises of God that you have put on the shelf? I hope I've encouraged you to take all the land that God has promised you!
For Meditation:
Heb. 6:12 ... "Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
Gal. 6:9 "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not faint."
Isaiah 40: 29-31"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised" (Heb 10:35-36)
Have a great day with Him!

There's no Greater....
I got this song a few months ago and it keeps coming back to me,
"There's no greater, no there's no greater,
Thing I could do, thing I could do....
Than to lay my life down for others
Than to lay my life down for You."
And it keeps repeating. It's from the scripture verse in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
This was a theme in Jesus's life,"... just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep." (John 10:15)
Then we see the disciples picking up this theme of laying their lives down for others. "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." (1John 3:16)
Today's modern soceity doesn't talk much about this theme. We like it theoretically, but when it comes right down to it, we don't want to do it.
I think parents know a bit about sacrifice, especially moms. Babies can be very demanding and the needs don't disappear as the babies grows up, they just change.
So where is Jesus' leading us with this statement? I think we need to ask the Lord for ourselves because each of our circumstances is different.
Last winter it meant that I was spending a whole lot of time promoting my church and getting them presence on the net using youtube clips instead of doing my own stuff.
It seems like such a loss but hang on-- why is Holy Spirit so happy with me? Why is his joy filling my life in a new way?
There's a secret success that we will never realize as long as we have ourselves as the focus. Holy Spirit is able to look after our 'stuff' if we will give it to him.
He knows the dreams he has put in your heart better than you do.
He is able to look after you far better than you ever could.
So, I have learned that when it looks like things are hopeless, start praising the Lord because it's always darkest just before the sun rises. Hallelujah! I know the sun's giong to rise again!
Let's pray: "Lord Jesus, I ask that you would encourage every person reading this article. May their hopes be reignited. May they know that you have not forgotten them. May they realize in a fresh way that it's not just about the goal--it's about the fellowship along the way. May they sence your presence in a whole new way and may they remember and recite all the promises You've given them and all the testimonies you have given them. Bless them in a fresh way today I ask. Amen!"

Spirit and Truth
God is not looking for those who are fighting like there is no tomorrow. The Bible says that he is looking for those who will worship him in spirit and in truth. (ref. John 4:24)
So the next time you think you are getting God's attention by warring till you are tired... stand and rest with the promises you have spoken in the air waves around you and worship the Lord.
That is the real warfare! We labor to enter into his rest. (Heb. 4:10) We fight through our attitudes and hurts to focus on Him... as we praise him by choice -- by faith we are exalting him-- not our issues. After all, he is the only one that can change us and our situations.
That's the heart of praise and worship-- Him, not you. When we have a problem praising him or worshiping him it's because the focus is on us-- not on Him.
Thank You Lord for help to lay down all the stuff and problems that get in the way of our devotion to you. Thank You Lord for prompting us with a song to sing as we work today and let us bless your heart today. Let us be your hands and feet in the world today and please flow through us for your glory. Thank You Lord that we have your love shed abroad in our hearts and that we have sound minds that are not full of fear. (ref. Rom. 5:5, 2Tim. 1:7) Amen!
Bless you!

Life is not Fair!
Life is not fair! There's just no way around it. I can't find a verse to say that I'm justified in demanding justice from people.
We want to retaliate, to make them pay and that can be a problem if we focus on the wrong issue. We don't fight flesh and blood. We fight spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. (Eph. 6:10-18)
Yup..... that person that hurt you was a pawn in the enemy's hand.
We don't want to play into the enemy's hand by retaliating and hurting them back. We want to give it over to a higher court and let the true judge look after our situation. (ref. James 4:11-12) This is what forgiveness is. He has promised to repay.
The best thing we can do is bless them with a revelation of Jesus' love and that they would fulfill their God given destiny. Not fair! I know... but no matter what they did, they don't deserve hell. Hell was not designed for people. It's a jail for all the wicked spirits that rebelled against God.
Forgiving people works and the price for unforgiveness is too high. (ref. Matt. 18: 21-35) We forgive and bless so that we are like Jesus, who didn't trade insult for insult. (ref. Luke 6:22-23) We do it "without complaining or grumbling so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe." (Phil 2:14-15) That's a good reward for not complaining and grumbling.
Let's keep working on it. It gets easier and easier as we practice. God's glory will be released on us in greater measure because we chose to react the way Jesus did. He lived a life of love and we can too. (ref. Eph. 5:2) We choose to put away all evil speaking and malice and we choose to be kind to others, tender hearted, forgiving everyone even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven us. (ref. Eph. 4:31-32)
I bless you today. May you have his joy in your journey with him and may you hear his well done today. Amen!

Pulling Heaven Down, Part 3 "By Faith"
I was kind of lost about what to share next and the Lord told me to talk about faith. He is right of course.
The currency of Heaven is faith. We walk by our faith and our faith is evidenced by the words we speak. Would you agree with that? Okay, if we are walking by faith then we can't always rely on our feelings to give a true indication of what is happening in the spirit realm-- at first. As a woman, I have had to tell my emotions, from time to time to settle down and line up with the word of God. Hormones can do that to you. Stress can also do that to you.
One of the biggest keys I can give you is to walk by the truth of God's word. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He does not change. He has exalted His word above His name. God cannot lie. (Heb. 13:8, Mal. 3:6, Psalm 138:2, Tit. 1:2)
Are you with me? Okay.... when the word says that I am seated with Him in Heavenly places, then I am, whether or not I am experiencing that reality right now. (Eph. 2:6) It is available to me if I learn how to tap into it.
We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. (Eph 1:3) God has already prepared a plan for our lives. (Eph 2:10) That means that the future has been written, to some extent and that I can tap into the future now. There is no time in Heaven the way we know it down here. I heard a great Bible teacher explain it like this:
Heaven is the center of the wheel and we are on the outside of the wheel and all of time is available to God. That is how the "Cross" could transcend time. That is how we appropriate healing, salvation, provision and everything of the Kingdom.
Therefore, as we praise and worship the Lord, we can have confidence that we are those spiritual gates that Psalm 24 is talking about. If we are having a hard time focusing then we know to take those thoughts captive by speaking out loud what we want loosed on the earth. If we still don't find it easy to enter into worship then we pray for a bit in strong tongues till we sense a release from the Lord. It's kind of like cleaning out the pipe. LOL.
As we try to praise and worship the Lord, Holy Spirit will show us if there is anything blocking us from entering his Holy presence, and we should repent and pray for cleansing as He leads. Then the Heavens will be opened up to us and we will start to feel His presence as He sends angels to help us worship.
At this time, ask the Lord if He wants you to worship or to see something. If He wants you to see something, close your eyes and see in your imagination what He wants to show You. This is perfectly acceptable because your whole mind has been cleansed by the blood and the washing of the Word.
You might see black and then a few sparks of light. That's great! The sparks are glory light coming down. Sometimes you might see a picture of a Bible story or see a figure outlined by light. Ask Holy Spirit questions and believe you receive. He wants this for you so much. We walk by faith and faith receives.
Do not keep begging God. You know how wearying that can be when your kids do that to you. Just trust and believe that He loves you and that He wants this for you.
If initially you don't get anything, just start thanking Him. Many of the greatest Heavenly manifestations I have experienced started with me not feeling anything, so I just started thanking the Lord for all that He had done for me already. A grateful heart will break through any resistance that might be hanging around-- always!
On that note I want to pray for you. Lord, help and bless the person reading this to have more Heavenly encounters with You. Show them all the stuff You have been showing me. Let them get even more than what I have received. I declare that their eyes, ears and hearts are prepared to receive and that their imaginations are Your drawing board Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
I believe you are receiving right now. Amen!
Big hugs,
Brenda Gale
