Driving my bus and leigh lines

 Hi there.   I'm working  late night shifts  driving around the city.  I love it! Gives me lots of time to pray and sing over the city and I've had lots of encounters too!

I claim the glory of God on my bus and its amazing how some  people are drawn to my bus and others are repulsed.   Yay God!   

I pray for people too as the the Lord leads.   Most times I just bless them or ask them if I can pray for them first.  Haven't been turned down yet!

The other night I was  driving along and came across some  leigh lines that had been contaminated so I was cleansing them as I usually do.  Then this fellow appeared at my right door as I drove (in the spirit).   As soon as I saw him he disappeared. Lol.  I think he was freaked out that I could see him!    He tried to throw a forgetful curse at me... didn't work of course.  

Made me sad that there are so few Christians taking authority over their neighborhood that this guy came to check out who was busting up his pentagram over the area  in the spirit realm.  

 Friends its so easy to do this!   Just pray "Lord, your will be done  and your Kingdom come in this area just as it in in Heaven!  Let your angels get their testimonies  and let me be your worship warrior, in Jesus' name! Amen!"  

Then I sing the song the Lord prompts me to sing as I drive and decree what he nudges me to decree over each area.

My advice is start with your street and Remember to break off all retaliation, backlash and transference of spirits hourly and you'll be fine!

Why you say? Because your enemy is a dirty fighter.  If you punch him he's going to punch you back where ever you hurt.  So be ready for it.  You are a soldier!   We rule and reign with the words and songs we speak or sing out of our mouths.   No words,,, no victory!  Wrong words and you've just helped the devil steal, kill and destroy....  The Choice is yours!

Needless to say I major on God's mercy!   It's only by his mercy and grace that I'm doing anything at all!

Nuff said.

Have a great day with him!

Cleansing

Hi there.... Someone asked me about cleansing the imagination yesterday and another person asked me about it a few weeks ago so I thought I would write what has worked for me.

Cleansing your imagination so that Holy Spirit can use it and you can trust what you see is extremely important.

I have led people into heavenly encounters many, many times only to have them pull back and disengage because of offense.  When I asked Holy Spirit about it, he said that they had hit a wall and had to be willing to deal with their 'stuff'.  So beware of taking offense.  It usually is a symptom of a deeper issue that Holy Spirit is trying to shine the light on.

So this is what I started out doing many years ago. I had a very hard, seared heart before I got introduced to Jesus and it really grieved me so I asked Holy Spirit for a tender heart. (1Tim. 4:2,  2Kings 22:19, Psalm 51: 10-12)

Second whenever I quit hearing Holy Spirit I would humble myself and go apologize to whoever I needed to.... I kept repenting till his voice/presence was with me again.  (Now I know it's my angels that were hanging around).  You see words that are full of the fruit of Holy Spirit attract Angels  (Gal. 5:22-25) while words that are  full of self and the fruit of self attract demon spirits. (Gal. 5:19-21).  I didn't care what other people thought of me, I needed Him! Desperation works!

Third, I worshiped  a lot... I wanted to be like King David that sang to the Lord.  I wanted to bless His heart because he had done so much for me.  I never ever wanted to grieve Holy Spirit.

As I began to worship all these bad images would come to my thoughts and I tried to stuff them but it didn't help... Holy Spirit said I needed to acknowledge that they were apart of the old me. Then I would confess that they were not the new me and I would ask Jesus to wipe them away from me...  If they wouldn't go away immediately I would ask the Lord what else I needed to do.  Sometimes I had to go apologize to someone.. Sometimes I had to go make it right  etc.   Then I would ask Holy Spirit to help me hate the things that he hated. 

You see we will never get rid of the sin we like.  We have to get to the point where we hate the sin and the death it brings before we will ever give up the pleasure of it.  All sin is pleasurable for an instant but the Bible says it leads to death and it sure does! (James 1:14-15)

So back to cleansing....  Holy Spirit helped me to fast track a lot of cleansing with the power of God's word.  There is supernatural power in God's word to bring it to pass when you mix it with faith. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.   So I would ask Holy Spirit for a promise and when I felt a line or two get highlighted in my Bible I would write it down and start to think about it and speak it over myself and even try to sing it over myself till I knew but I knew it was mine.  Then I had power to fight off the things that led to bad images. 

You know Holy Spirit had me read the Book of James over and over for a LONG time. (many months) I wasn't allowed to read much else in my Bible. Some lady gave me trouble because I wasn't reading the whole Bible every year. I recognized a religious spirit speaking through her.... You decide who you are going to listen to. 

I won't say it's easy.  I've taken lots of ridicule from family members because I won't watch a lot of the TV shows or movies out there. If Holy Spirit says no... that's good enough for me.  He's more important.  I don't make a big deal of it and I certainly don't have a 'holier than thou' attitude. I just quietly leave and go to the kitchen or my room and do something else.  I want my imagination to be Holy Spirit's drawing board at any cost.

Is it worth it?  Yes, yes, yes!  We are spiritual beings!  We are in a war and we win through HIM!  If we won't quit we will never lose!  How many Angels do you want waiting for you to wake up in the morning?  How many people do you want to see saved, healed and delivered?  How many Heavenly Creatures would you like to have as friends?  I have a lion named Reign and a green-striped Tiger  named Emerald that come and  guard me while I sleep.  There's nothing like it!   If you'll keep on this journey the veil between Heaven and Earth will get so thin that you'll be learning how to function in both places at the same time.  It's amazing!  Our brains have the capacity for us to live in two dimensions at the same time.

Holy Spirit will make it worth your while!  You can never, ever out give him!  Whatever sacrifices you have to make he will compensate you for,,, over and over again.

So have fun! I decree that You are more than a conqueror through Him that loved you!  Heaven is closer to you than your hand in front of you!  I pray for Joy in your journey and sweet, sweet fellowship  with Him and your angels and may you always be passionate for Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Father and their Kingdom! Amen!

Big hugs and blessings,
Brenda Gale Thompson

Lions to help Us.

I saw a brief picture during worship at church the other day.   I was walking along a dirt road in a grassy field on a beautiful sunny day.  My  lion, "Reign" was beside me and "Huntress" my lioness was about twenty feet ahead looking to see what was worth investigating.  An eagle that has linked itself to me was soaring high above me back and forth, just enjoying the air currents.

I was wondering what the Lord wanted me to see that was different, when all of a sudden I saw one lion after another come towards me from all different directions. Within minutes I was surrounded by a huge group of lions of all different ages and sizes.

I asked the Lord what does this mean?  I didn't hear anything directly but then I felt the longing in the lions to be connected with their special Saints.  (It's bringing tears to my eyes even as I write this.) There are lions waiting to be assigned to Saints...
Did you read that?  There are lions waiting to be assigned to Saints and you qualify!!!

Lions are such a blessing in the spirit realm. They bring authority with them and courage. 

I didn't know this was even possible to be assigned a lion! God surprised me one day with a vision.

During this vision, my lion came up to me from behind when I was on the outskirts of the throne area just enjoying the glory and the angelic beings.   Imagine, all of a sudden this lion hits my left hand with his big head and stands beside me. My hand has slide down to his neck and he's huge!  I never knew lions were so big!  He smells of incense and myrrh and he's different shades of cinnamon in color with a thick, coarse mane.  I couldn't stop the tears and the laughter.  Talk about affirmation!

It really did something for me.  I have been more conscious that I rule and reign with my words.  You might not see it but there's authority when I speak.  Courage comes as you realize what you were created for.   What people think or don't think doesn't matter in the light of eternity.  It's very hard to be concerned about your reputation when you can close your eyes and smell your lion beside you!

Let my experience encourage you to ask for your lion.  May I pray for you? You already know that God is no respecter of persons, right?  What he's done for me he wants to do for you! (ref. Acts. 10:34)

"I believe your spiritual eyes are opening up more and more.  I decree that you are seated with him in Heavenly places and that your spiritual senses are awake.  That any hindrances to feeling in the spirit realm are cancelled through the blood of Jesus.   Every spiritual gift and blessing is yours in Christ/Holy Spirit. You have been given the privilege of knowing the secrets of the mysteries of Heaven." (ref. Eph.2:6, Gal. 5:25, Gal. 5:16, Eph. 1:3, Matt. 13:11)

"Thank You Lord for showing us the plan.  Thank You Lord for showing us some of the stuff you have preordained for us to walk in.  Thank You for foretastes of it to whet our appetite and encourage us to press in for more. Amen!" (ref.  Eph. 2:10, Phil. 3:10)

Bless you in Jesus' name!

Fisherwoman

Jesus said, "Come follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."(Mark 1:17 NASV) I like the "make you become" part. For me that hasn't always been easy. I was taught that a person's faith was their personal business and not to go meddling. Unfortunately, the only way to make sure a person is really saved is to ask them some questions and see what they answer.

If they can't explain how they know they are saved, or if they appear "wishy-washy" or vague there's a very good chance they don't have that assurance.

Many times I won't ask people to tell me "how they know they are going to heaven", because that can make them defensive. I treat each individual as the Lord leads. If they are not full of pride, I can just pray with them and get them to agree with me and Holy Spirit will touch them and soften their hearts. For example, I must have prayed with one lady five or six times, for her daughter and husband, before I felt the release to ask her if she wanted to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she was going to heaven when she died.

There have been other situations where I have told people, "Here, read this (tract) and get back to me with your questions." Sometimes the proud, or complacent need something to jar them awake and you can be the "elbow" God uses to wake them up to their fate without Him. If someone gets offended at me, I don't take it personally. Fleshy reactions happen when you wake someone up suddenly.

You cannot mess up bad enough, to use it as an excuse not to witness or get involved in God's Great Commission. Our witness, however insignificant it might seem (to us), is so important. As we live for Him and ask Him to use us, He will put people in our paths for us to love and talk to. Sometimes a person will need months of loving, encouraging, kind words and prayer before they are ready for the seed of the Gospel. Just being full of His life can help so much. We don't know sometimes how much our witness affects others.

I took the lady that leads the prayer group to the grocery store, for a few things and I must have talked to ten people in the store, some shoppers, some employees. This lady was quite surprised at how well I'm known and how people are so receptive to me. I've built a rapport with many of them so now I have credibility when I pray for them or say "God Bless you". With each one of these precious people I am claiming their salvation and asking the Lord when I can share the seed of the Gospel with them. God knows and He will direct as I ask Him. What He's done for me, He will do for you too! The key is "be available," ask the Lord to use you, then obey His promptings.

Let's make sure that we have a good witness here on earth. Let's be vessels that are cleaned and prepared for noble purposes.(2Tim 2:21) We want to be of earthly use to our Father. Let's make every day count for Him as we "try to serve one another in love." (Gal 5:13)

Wherever we go we can bring His hope, love and encouragement or... we can be affected by the world's negativity. It's our choice. Like Jesus, we are called to rule and reign over circumstances. (Rom 5:17) Let's spend time with the Lord every day, so that we can "be a sweet smelling fragrance" to our world. (2Cor 2:14)

Bless you in Jesus' Name! Let's go fishing for the Lord today!
