1 JANUARY 2024!

 

From the desk of one of His faithful servants Chief Apostle L.R.Gooden Jr., as we embark upon the new year of 2024/5784 the Lord spoke to me that it will be a year of Open Doors for Revelation, Re-Alignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment according to:

 

Revelation 3:8 NKJV…“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

 

The Jewish Year 5784 began on Rosh Hashanah September 15th 2023 using the Hebrew Alphabet and Gematria system.

 

5 = Grace: (1000 years - Millennium)

 

7 = Completion, perfection: (100 years - Century)

 

8 = New beginnings: (10 years - Decade)

 

4 = Door, prophetic fulfillment: (1 year - Year)

 

Of all the prophetic numbers aligned with 5784, I feel led to focus primarily on the number 4. This Hebrew year, represented by 5784, holds tremendous significance for the number 4 and its corresponding letter Dalet. I believe this year will be a season of radical transformation, renewal and realignment, if we obey the Lord’s voice. We must be aware though that there will be a spiritual battle for the effectual door of promise to be opened. While the number 4 is called Dalet in Hebrew and it represents a picture of a tent door, or open door, I believe that the Lord is speaking to us even deeper about these spiritual doors.

 

The spiritual meaning of door is the entry point to a new space. Doors represent the transition from one place to another. They are also symbolic of change, especially when they are closed or locked. When a door opens, it opens up possibilities to new experiences.  Doors can also be considered as exit points as well as entrances. The person who opens the door decides whether it will be an entrance or exit point.

 

Doors are also used to keep out unwanted visitors, but they can also be used as an invitation for others to come inside and enter into your life, mind and heart.  A door often represents the opening of new possibilities and challenges in the future.

 

2024/5784 is going to be a year of the voice of the Doorkeeper. Doors will begin to appear for many, with heavenly encounters and signs showing the way. Borders will open between new partnering nations/regions/houses. Beware of any vulnerability in defenses that may be exploited, so it is necessary to prepare your defenses before the new year.  It’s Time to chart a new path for prophetic fulfillment. 

 

In the Hebrew calendar, the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, and the open door represents a gateway to God's blessings and breakthroughs. Just as the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, leaving behind their bondage and entering into freedom, this year will mark a significant transition for God's people. 

 

Additionally, the number 80 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "pey" (), which signifies a time of completion and fulfillment. Again, the number 4 in Hebrew is represented by the letter "dalet" (), which symbolizes a doorway or a path. It signifies stability, foundation, and the four corners of the earth. Therefore, as we step through the door of this new beginning, the number 4 reminds us to establish a solid foundation in our faith and embrace the divine path that lies ahead.

 

The open door signifies not only physical doors of opportunity but also spiritual portals unveiling fresh encounters with GOD. As we align our hearts with God's purposes, we will witness the fulfillment of His promises and experience a greater outpouring of His Spirit. It is a time to seek His face, listen intently to His voice, and step boldly through the doors that He opens before us.

 

Therefore we must stay in tune with what GOD is saying to His Church, and we know that Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of GOD through His Prophets & Preachers. 

 

So Now Under a strong Anointing of the Holy Spirit I RELEASE TO YOU THE THEME AND SCRIPTURE FOR KBCMI FOR 5784/2024:

 

5784 The Year of the Open Door for Revelation, Realignment and Renewal for Prophetic Fulfillment!

 

Revelation 3:8 NKJV…“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

 

It’s time for the Remnant of GOD to put their complete trust in the WORD of GOD and receive everything that GOD has in store for us in the year of 5784/2024.

 

May the Lord continue to Bless you & keep you in Jesus Name.

 

Blessings,

Chief Apostle, L.R. Gooden Jr.

9 Signs That You Might Be Weary In Well Doing​!

Sometimes we are spiritually worn down and we don’t even recognize that there is a problem until it has spiraled out of control.  The following is a series of warning signs that should make our internal alarms start beeping when detected.

1. Lack of Prayer

I could quote tons of Scriptures about the importance of prayer, but in the end prayer is about having a relationship with God. If you are failing to communicate regularly with the Lord your relationship is not healthy. We instinctively understand this principle in our relationships with other humans, but we often fail to understand it in relationship to God.

2. Half-Hearted Praise

When Mary performed that beautiful act of worship by anointing Jesus’ feet with expensive oil Judas expressed displeasure at her extravagance (John 12:3-6). Now that we have the advantage of hindsight we can clearly see that Judas was exhibiting a warning sign of weariness in well doing. When we begin withholding praise and feel critical of another’s praise we should quickly make some spiritual corrections.

3. Habitually Missing Church

I should clarify that we all miss services from time to time with legitimate reasons, however, I am referring to those seasons of missing for no good reason. We all know the Scripture (Hebrews 10:25) that commands us to stay faithful in our church attendance, and yet the assembling together of the saints is far more than a stuffy commandment; it is for our own edification. Our carnal nature tends to pull away from the very thing that we need the most when we are weary in well doing. Keep a sharp eye out for this important warning sign.

4. Murmuring & Complaining

Whenever the Hebrews were about to do something really horrific that stirred God’s wrath it was always preceded by murmuring (Exodus 16:8; Numbers 14:27; Numbers 17:5). We all become frustrated and need to vent once in a while, but if it becomes the norm you have a serious spiritual condition that needs immediate attention.

5. Spiked Levels of Temptation & Intensified Longings For Worldliness 

When Lot made that fateful decision to lead his family towards and eventually into Sodom it began because of the blessings of God (Genesis 13:6-12); the trend towards Sodom began during the good times. It is extremely important that we constantly check our direction and our desires.  Sometimes we need to desperately pray as the Psalmist did, “Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).”

6. Quick to Anger, Quick to Offense & Quick to Speak 

On at least five separate occasions, Scripture describes God as being slow to anger (Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 103:8; Psalm 145:8; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2). When we display the opposite characteristics of God we should always take a spiritual inventory.

7. Unwillingness to Participate In the Kingdom of God  

1 Peter 4:10-11 makes it clear that every Christian has a calling to be involved in the Kingdom of God according to their specific gifts. Refusal to participate or stay involved is usually indicative of a deeper problem.

8. Bitterness 

The apostle Paul acknowledged the defiling power of bitterness in Hebrews 12:15.  The subject of bitterness alone could fill volumes and volumes but just know that it is one of the most dangerous warning signs of all.  Bitterness starts out small and quickly grows into an unavoidable problem if left unhindered.  It is possible to be right the wrong way, and one of the most common ways to be right the wrong way is to be right and bitter at the same time.

9. Rebellion

Rebellion against God or God-given authority is never ok and it never ends well; if you remain unconvinced just consider King Saul, Lucifer, or Judas.

1 Peter 5:5...Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

This commandment flew in the face of the Greek culture because, like ours, it glorified self-assertion and aggressiveness. They worshipped bodily perfection and “wisdom,” as they called it, flaunting it before others as a basis on which a relationship would be conducted. Feeling better than, or being seen as better than, others was very important to people in the Greek world.

Greek culture like ours glorified youthfulness and the apostle Peter felt a holy unction to warn the Church against the dangerous sin of exalting youth and beauty above the wisdom of the elders. Godly young men and young women run from arrogance and seek out the wisdom that only age and grace can produce.

God commands us to be clothed with humility. Humility is pride’s opposite, its antonym. We learn a great deal about humility when we just do the opposite of what the Bible teaches us about pride. Part of the key to understanding humility is in this short phrase “just do.” Just do it, as the Nike® advertisement urges. Why would God want us to do such a thing? Because true humility is a choice. It is not something that comes naturally. We have to choose to do it.

Peter says that we must “be clothed with humility.” We must put on humility just as we put on our clothes. Doing either of these activities is a choice. In this phrase, the apostle is reminiscing about Jesus at His last Passover, when He clothed Himself with an apron and knelt down before His disciples, including Peter, washing their feet as an example of His mind, His attitude, toward them (John 13:1-17). He girded himself and performed this lowly act. He had to put on, choose to practice, humility to do that. Everyday we must reach past the garment of pride and clothe ourselves in humility.

God has called each of us to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh (Galatians 5:16).

Carnality can be defined simply as a Christian who leans towards worldliness. It is possible to be carnal and not totally backslidden, however, those who flirt with worldliness long enough usually divorce themselves from God eventually or vice versa. I regularly check my own attitudes, actions, and influences for any trace of deadly carnality. It is my prayer that this blog has been written with and that it will be read with a spirit that desires to please God.  

30 Characteristics of Carnality:

…going to church is a low priority in your life.

…your activities at church only involve one-day a week or less.

…you are more comfortable around sin than you are around righteousness.

…you regularly make fun of, laugh at, or become angered by righteousness (spiritual things).

…you have no spiritual disciplines for prayer, Bible reading, Bible study, Bible memorization, witnessing, or fasting.

…you become angered by preaching that challenges, convicts, corrects, rebukes, or even nudges you a little bit.

…you dislike worshipping and other people’s outward demonstrations of worship annoy you as well.

…you don’t want pastoral authority or advice (you may or may not say this verbally, but you feel it inwardly).

…you will only do things for God that others will notice and applaud.  You are unwilling to do small, menial tasks for others, the church, and God’s kingdom in general.

…you regularly give into temptation and get tripped up by the same sins over and over again (even after repenting).

…you live on a steady diet of worldly music and entertainment of all kinds that promote, glorify, and justify sinful activities.

…you will not listen to godly advice even from Church leaders, close family or friends.

…God is not the first priority in your life.

…you withhold your tithes (10% of your income) from God, do not give offerings, or ever give sacrificially (giving until and/or when it hurts).

…you don’t think you have any room for improvement or spiritual progress.

…you regularly participate in gossip, backbiting, and contribute to arguments and strife.

…you look for controversies and ways to bring divisions rather than seeking peace and unity with all mankind.

…you are regularly filled with envy, rage, jealousy, pride, or any other emotion that does not reflect the fruit of the Spirit.

…you put you first rather than others.

…you can’t remember the last time you repented to God or another individual for wrongdoing.

…humility is a word that makes you uncomfortable.

…you are secretly dishonest but would like for people to view you as trustworthy.

…you regularly lie, but you think it’s ok because you don’t get caught.

…you are constantly looking for loopholes in God’s Word rather surrendering to its authority.

…you get more excited over a football game (or you can fill in the blank with your favorite distraction) than you do the goodness of God.

…you can’t remember the last time you talked about God outside of a church function.

…you regularly let your mind dwell on lustful, immoral, wicked, and evil things, but you think its ok because you haven’t acted on them.

…you have no respect for Godly elders and opinions other than your own.

…you do not value those who labor in the Word (preachers, pastors, prophets, evangelists, missionaries, and teachers).  You do not think they are worthy of a double portion (or any portion for that matter).

…you have not felt the presence of God in a long, long time.

2017 IT’S TIME TO ACCELERATE!

JOB 22:21-29.....21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

In Job 22:21-29 there is a prophetic revelation of a list of areas in which The Lord wants to accelerate the good that pertains to your life. The key to this acceleration is to ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH GOD, i.e. get to know Him and to be in agreement with Him and His Word. The key to Divine acceleration in your life is therefore DEVOTION OR SPENDING TIME WITH GOD IN HIS WORD AND IN PERSONAL PRAYER that you may understand who He is, His nature and ability, what pleases or displeases Him and what propels Him to work. 

Job 22:21-23: One of the most important promises of God to you, and also a result of devotion is that YOU WILL BE BUILT UP. This means that in every dimension of your life - in spirit, soul and body, in stature, in economy, in faith, in love, in knowing and serving God etc, God is working with you to bring you to a place of growth, sufficiency, strength and maturity. THE WORD IS GOD's MAIN TOOL IN BUILDING US UP. 1 Peter 2verse 1, 2. 

Job 22:24 -27 A very important component of the good that God wants to bring to your life as you spend time with Him is to bring you into the BLESSING OF DIVINE ECONOMY. This is a life in which He empowers you to create ABUNDANT WEALTH as you follow the Divine principle of honoring Him by putting first your financial service to Him in faithful giving of tithes and offerings and fulfilling whatever vows you have made to serve Him. 

Vs. 21......The Lord wants to accelerate our PEACE and WELL BEING in all things. The Lord wants to accelerate the coming of GOOD to you & I in all areas of our life.

Vs. 22.......The Lord wants to accelerate BUILDING YOU UP in all areas - leading to a wholesome TRANSFORMATION that brings out holiness. 

Vs. 23-24....The Lord wants to accelerate your GATHERING OF WEALTH to where your abundance blesses His House and people's lives. You will practice Divine Economics which is MULTIPLICATION.

Vs. 25....The Lord wants to beef up DEFENSES around all that pertains to you. 

Vs. 26-28.....The Lord wants to increase your REVELATION and CONFIDENCE TO DECREE THINGS SO THAT THEY COME TO PASS.

Vs. 29.....The Lord wants to accelerate HIS ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS.

I'M PRAISING MY WAY TO MY HARVEST IN THE MIDST OF MY TRIBULATION.

"Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God even our own God, shall bless us." Psalm 67: 5-6

Are you one of God's children that have been waiting with great expectations for blessings from the Lord? Have you been consistently sowing and not experiencing the blessings that you expected to receive?

There is an ingredient that just might be missing in your life that will bring forth the blessing that you have been waiting and desiring to receive.

Anything that you receive from God must come through faith. Where there is no faith there will be no victory. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Your Heavenly Father expects you to put all of your trust in Him without any wavering or doubt. Even when you do not see anything, you must know that God will not fail you.

When the manifestation that you desire does not come, what do you do? What is your response when everything appears to be falling apart and going in the opposite direction? What comes out of your mouth when the job did not come, the car is not running and the bills are all past due? The majority of people, even those who are children of God will begin to murmur and complain. Speaking and thinking negative will only yield negative results.

God has set forth in His word the plan for overcoming temporary setbacks. 

First of all, you must realize that anyone who achieves great things for God will go through some challenges and obstacles in life. These light afflictions only come to allow us to exercise the faith that God has given to each of His children. The language of faith that moves mountains is praise.

Praising God in the midst of any challenge will cause God’s power to be release in the earth. Most of the children of God spend little or no time praising God. Often times those who do praise or offer up thanksgiving do not realize the power that is being released out into the universe. 

When you praise God the Bible says that He inhabits the praises of His people. God actually gets involved in your praises. This means that His very essence and power is now available to bring forth what you have been waiting for.

Phil 4:6 tells you to have no anxiety about anything. Instead, with prayer and thanksgiving continue to make your wants known to God. 

This means that you are going to continue to thank and praise God for the desired results that you expect to receive.

Your sincere praise brings glory and honor to God. Praise that comes from a sincere heart will always get the attention of our God. The power of God is already at work in the earth. He is just waiting for you to offer up a sacrifice of praise unto Him with a sincere heart.

Even in the most difficult situation when everything appears to be going in the opposite direction; sincere praise can bring forth a harvest in the midst of tribulation.

If you have been waiting for a release of God’s blessings into your life and nothing has happen. Instead of seeing the manifestation of your harvest, things have gotten worst. Just know that praise that is consistent will create a climate for the release that you desire to see come forth from God. After you praise, “then shall the earth yield her increase and God even our God will bless us.

Your faith mixed with praise can bring forth the miraculous power of God into your life.  Become determined to bless the Lord at all times and keep His praise continually coming forth out of your mouth. As the praises go up before our God, the earth must yield her increase and God even our own God will send forth the blessings. Expect to see the miracle working power of God manifested in your life in 2017.

NOT JUST LIFE BUT THE BLESSED LIFE!

GENESIS 1:27-28 (NKJV):

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

After God created man the first thing he did was bless man. Not just life but the BLESSED LIFE. THE BLESSED LIFE FOLLOWS LIFE.

A blessed life is a life which attracts God's blessing and favor into our environment. How you live determines what you attract into your environment. You shall know them by their FRUIT. God wants to bless his people! NOT JUST LIFE BUT THE BLESSED LIFE!

Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV)

18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

God gives us power to get wealth, Faith without works is dead, we have to apply what GOD has given us in order to establish his covenant he made with our fathers. NOT JUST LIFE BUT THE BLESSED LIFE!

God blessed man and woman at creation because he wanted them to live a blessed life. The blessing was the first gift and asset which man received from God. 

Man and woman were created to be an expression of God's blessing. God created man and woman to live a blessed life and not a cursed life.

THE BLESSINGS WHICH WERE GIVEN TO ADAM AT CREATION WAS A SPOKEN BLESSING!

Blessings are transmitted through the spoken word of God.

Numbers 6:23-26 (NKJV):

23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,And give you peace.”’

If it is not spoken it will not manifest.

Blessings flow through spiritual authorities which God has established.

It is Priests who carry the authority to bless the flock.

It is parents who carry the authority to bless children.

It is husbands who carry the authority to bless wives.

IT WAS A BLESSING OF INCREASE AND FRUITFULNESS: Increase and fruitfulness is the manifestation of a blessed life. A blessing gives us power for increase and fruitfulness. Whatever carries the blessing will always increase and not decrease. NOT JUST LIFE BUT THE BLESSED LIFE!

 IT WAS A BLESSING OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY: A blessing gives you authority and power over the forces of nature and the forces of satan.

 IT WAS A BLESSING OF LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE: God created man to be above and not below, to be the head and not the tail.

Leadership is a blessing from God. The Tribe of Judah received the blessing of leadership and rulership.

MAN WAS BLESSED WITH SEED AT CREATION:  Every blessing from God comes with a seed. God gave seed to perpetuate life and blessing. God has hidden life into a seed. No seed no life. No seed no blessing.

Genesis 8:22 KJV - 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Seed time and harvest will never cease it is a principal application from creation.

A BLESSEDED LIFE IS A CHOICE:

Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV - 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

WE LIVE A BLESSED LIFE BY PUTTING GOD FIRST:  Matthew 6:33 - Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these shall be added unto you.

WE LIVE A BLESSED LIFE THROUGH OBEDIENCE AND FAITH:  Deuteronomy 28:1 - if you fully obey the commands I give you today

WE LIVE A BLESSED LIFE BY BLESSING WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED:  Genesis 12:3 - Whoever blesses you I will bless.

 WE LIVE A BLESSED LIFE THROUGH ACTS OF GENEROSITY: Prov 19:17 KJV ...He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

NOT JUST LIFE BUT THE BLESSED LIFE!

 THE POWER OF THE ANOINTING OF GOD!


1.     When God leads You, He Anoints You despite Your Enemies.

Psalms 23:5 “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over”.

2.     Overflowing anointing (Power) always accompanies the led (Sent) 

Luke 10: 1 - After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

 The Anointing sets us Free 

(Freedom is never given, it is fought for)

Isaiah 49:24 – 26.....24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

- A mighty force over thee – e.g. Sickness, depression, Confusion etc
- Lawful Captive – Justice has placed you there. The Devil has a reason

 25 But thus SAITH the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 

26 And I will feed them that OPPRESS thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob

Psalms 124: 6 – 7....6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

The Anointing Establishes us Above our Enemies

Psalms 89: 20 – 25...20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

The Anointing gives us Access to Wealth and Peace

24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Praise
Hebrew and Greek words for praise are translated into today's English languages.  In this blog you will find the meaning for each word, plus a bible reference. My prayer is that these words would expand your knowledge of the word “praise”, and your praise and worship to God.

“HOW TO PERSEVERE (ENDURE) IN HARD TIMES” 

MOSES was given a difficult assignment. It was a {BIG} responsibility. It involved a {LONG} period of time. It came {LATE} in his life. It forced him to depend upon God {DAILY}. 

The Bible says Moses:
 
Endured thru {FAITH}! (Hebrews 11:27) 

God wants Moses to be an {EXAMPLE} for us (Jeremiah 5:5). 

When we are going through difficult times, there are certain things we need to always remember! 

I. REMEMBER GOD’S {PROMISES}

*Exodus 3:1-10 
*Exodus 32:7-14 
*I Kings 8:55-56 
*Isaiah 40:8 
*Isaiah 26:3-4 

When going through difficult times, we must remember: 

THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD TO KEEP HIS WORD. 

2. REMEMBER GOD’S {PRESENCE}

*Exodus 33:13-17 
*Isaiah 43:1-3 
*Hebrews 13:5b-6 

Moses never {SAW} God’s face, but endured by knowing His presence. (Exodus 33:13-17)

3. REMEMBER GOD’S {POWER}

*Exodus 33:18-23 
*Numbers 14:6-10 
*Romans 8:31 
*Matthew 28:18-19 

Roman’s 8:31…What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us.

RAISE THE BAR IN 2017


The Lord says, Raise the Bar. Set the standard. Don't minimize your standards, influence them to come up to (GOD'S) standard.

I taught you this way says the Lord. I know what you need to get to the higher place I'm calling you to. I know what I'm birthing In you. Trust me, walk with Me. I Am moving you in a new direction, for a Greater purpose. They may not recognize this NEW you, but it's ME working through you. Let it flow! Your Metamorphosis is now, yield to it. Stay surrendered, It's for my Glory, not theirs. Everyone can't walk with you in this place, you can't take all of them, but you will be positioned to bless them later. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. The people who struggle with their own insecurity, can't accept your GOD SECURITY. It's my Confidence they are afraid of. 

Did I not walk with great Confidence. Should you not do the same. Greatness will always be misunderstood. Like the 100 of times you almost gave up for my purpose because of  persecution.  (Mark 10:27...And Jesus looking upon them saith with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible) So Stand anyway! Forge ahead anyway. You can do nothing without confidence in God because confidence feeds your Faith. 

Confidence in God Empowers you to PUSH!

Confidence in God let's the devil and his agents know that you KNOW whose You are. I Am yours and You are Mine says the Lord. 

"Cast not away your Confidence which has great Recompense of ***Reward***, you have need of PATIENCE, that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the Promise".

RAISE THE BAR IN 2017!
