AGREE and BE SET FREE

Psalm 23
  1 The LORD is my shepherd,
            I shall not want.
      2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
            He leads me beside quiet waters.
      3 He restores my soul;
            He guides me in the paths of righteousness
            For His name’s sake.
      4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
            I fear no evil, for You are with me;
            Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
      5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
            You have anointed my head with oil;
            My cup overflows.
      6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
            And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.


     For smoothed face new born believers or wrinkly old believers, scripture is a great place to begin a prayer, especially the Psalms. Get on-line, or read the commentary in your Bible and find some background information, learn the context, learn about God's promises.
     God is a covenant (promise, testament) God. At the end of verse three it says 'For His name's sake.' Meaning He swears by His name, which nothing is greater than. Over and over again, in spite of people living in opposition to Him,  God makes a way for them to return to Him and He makes a promise to them to save them.
     Life is not easy, and for some you have believed God is not there, or He is against you. That is a lie. If you believe that lie its like making a covenant with Satan. It's true, believing something is like making an agreement with it. But if you believe that Jesus died for you and believe in the promises of God you can then come into agreement with the Father, and you will be set free.

      Living my life for Him has not always been easy, but my soul is at rest, and I live out of that rest. There is a peace in me that allows contentment to exist, a hope that is fixed on Jesus, and a future that is being guided by the very hand of the Creator. What do you have?

  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...
