TNP - BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND

By -
TNP - April 5, 2012

          After soaking we went to this Scripture passage.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.
 Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. Reap in mercy;13 You have plowed wickedness;
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
Because you trusted in your own way,
In the multitude of your mighty men.
 You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men.
Hosea 10:12-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

Noble  - shared a dream he had this week where he was plowing a field with two white horses (righteousness) and he received the verse in Hosea 10:12-13 The way they used to sow seed in Israel was to cast the seed on the ground and then plow it into the ground.

Tim - shared about listening to a sermon from Bill Johnson about open heavens being the constant state of things and that Jesus lives in us. That we need to live out of the reality of that that God is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY but He is as GOOD as HE is HOLY. So we need to know that HE is GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

Don - Shared out of the Eric Johnson book on living out of inheritance rather than performance. Amos 3:7 God doesn't do anything without first revealing to his servants the prophets.

David  P - shared about a high school friend named Kevin who hew recently reconnected with. Kevin knew the Lord as a teenager and had fallen away from active living in God.  He used to be a wrestler and was poised to go to the Olympics when he started having heart problems that disqualified him at that time, 30 years later David did some work at his house which allowed them to have some good discussions.  His little girl could not receive the simple message that Jesus died for her. We prayed the Hosea passage out over Kevin and in our lives.

We prayed Hosea 10:12-13 over Kevin and then David started repenting and asking forgiveness for acting hardheartedly towards those who had fallen away or were wandering sheep.  

 David S - Shared the reading from April 1 out of My Utmost for His Highest.  
About intercession and worship. 

 …Are we living in such a relationship with others that we do the work of intercession as a result of being the children of GOD who are taught by His Spirit?
We should take a look at our circumstances.
Do crises affect us or others in our home, business, country, or elsewhere seem to be crushing in on us?
Are we being pushed out of the presence of GOD and left with no time for Worship?
If so, we must put a stop to those distractions and get into such a living relationship with GOD that our relationship with others is maintained through the work of intercession, where God does his miracles.
Beware of getting ahead of GOD by your very desire to do His will. 
We can run ahead of Him in a thousand and one activities, becoming so burdened with people and problems that we do not worship GOD, and fail to intercede.
If a burden and its resulting pressure come upon us while we are not in an attitude of worship, it will only produce a hardness toward God, and despair in our own souls.
Yet God continually introduces us to people in whom we have no interest (naturally), and unless we are worshiping GOD the natural tendency is to be heartless toward them
We give them a quick verse of Scripture, like jabbing them with a spear, or leave them with a hurried, uncaring word of counsel before we go.  A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our LORD.
Are our lives in the proper place so that we may participate in the intercession of our LORD and the Holy Spirit.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
