Did you wake up wondering what your spouse got you for Christmas?  Wondering if all the kids would make it home this year?  Wondering, if there were enough places at the table for an additional guest or two?  As you celebrate the first advent of Jesus the Christ today with your family and friends.  As you feast  As you give and receive gifts.  As you connect with those you have not seen for a long time.  As you recount the joys and sorrows of the last year. As you laugh at other's jokes and tell stories. As you play games, wash dishes, or just watch the excitement of the children during this day of expectation.   Remember, there is also a second advent of Jesus Christ promised.    And one day soon we will wake up to a trumpet blast that shakes the earth and find that He has come in middle of the night,   (not Santa) but Jesus Christ our bridegroom.  We may find ourselves, acting like little chil...

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR WE FOCUS ON THE ENTRY OF JESUS INTO OUR WORLD. Even though we know Jesus was likely born at another time of the year, and did not come into the world on Dec 25th, we play out the popular cultural traditions and sort of pretend it is His Birthday. This week as we celebrate what the Old Testament prophets predicted namely that God would come and be with us (Emmanuel God with us) Jesus fulfilled that word and was the exact likeness of the Father in all He did and said while he was with us. But Jesus is not in the manager tonight. He is not in another house in Bethlehem. He is not standing in front of the council He is not on trial, on the cross or in the grave. Although we can celebrate these events and that would be good, but I think tonight I am going to focus on another advent. The second coming of Jesus as Christ the reigning King. In fact in Scripture Jesus as  God with us only lasted for 33 years, then 40 days after his death and resurrection...

I  shamelessly  stole this post today from Steve Youngblood's Face book page, because I  wanted to  share  it with you... this is a great confirmation to my earlier post  Forgive Everyone Everything .  I don't think that Steve is aware of Shemitah or that next year is the biblical Jubilee. But his post falls right into the current word for this time, forgive and be forgiven. Prepare for Jubilee, put your house in order.  Amnesty - What a wonderful word. Definition:  forgiveness, broad-based forgiveness to a person or a group of persons of all crimes or offenses. It's freedom, a new beginning. Those who have been ostracized from a community,  are released from judgments  and allowed to go home or re-enter that society. God granted Amnesty to us when we repented of our sin. We were not required to "do the time", Christ did it for us. It granted free entrance into His Kingdom and famil...

Dear HAPN, Below is a key prophetic word that  Dr. Chuck Pierce  released on December 10, 2014 for the Body in this nation and the nations.  ---  Watch it on  YouTube . Transcript of the prophetic word: And I say to you a sound membrane is now beginning to bulge in the heavens and this is a time that that which has been held back and those that have been held back in hearing will begin to hear. I say to you this membrane is now beginning to leak and what the enemy has closed up and what the enemy has kept from pouring down, I say now My sound will penetrate the membrane and there will be an opening and things that have been covered over in the earth will be uncovered, saith the Lord. For I say much wealth has been covered, and much expression of My power has been covered, and even I say relationships that should have been, have been covered and I say vision has been dull. But I say, when this membrane breaks, it will be like an ax that i...

Releasing the Great HALLELUJAH within You! Day 11 Devotion: Stay Connected this Hanukkah! Tuesday, December 16, 2014 Dear Light-Filled Friends: I am still in awe of how God's presence met us during worship  on Sunday  morning, and the " Hallelujah " that came forward. Hallelujah is a  "hei"  word, and one that should particularly be on our lips at this time.  Robert's message on  "The New Sound Breaks the Old Cycle: The Spiritual Power of Sound!"  was also so timely. This is a season in which we celebrate the heavens being filled with the glory of God. Be sure you are releasing your HALLELUJAH at this time! If you could not join us, please be sure to watch the  webcast replay  that will be available all week. This is going to be a very special week at the Global Spheres Center. Don't forget about our  Special Hanukkah Service   tomorrow  (Wednesday) night. We will begin at  6 PM  in the...

DAY 10: GOD IS ABLE! I keep hearing " GOD IS ABLE!"   I believe this is a word for each of us as we enter this new season. The Holy Spirit seems to be beckoning me to pray for Gods' people to declare and embrace  GOD'S ABILITY to make each one of us able to overcome . Faith should be growing, and steadfast. Faith should be abiding, and continuing. Faith should be creating advancement in God's Kingdom.  I see that we have grown anxious in the cares of this world. We have fallen into fear of failure, fear of harm, fear of abandonment, and fear of the future. We have forgotten God's ability to bless. As I prayed the phrase,  "God is able,"  faith rose in me for us.  I saw that our seeking must progress from little faith to overcoming power.  GOD IS ABLE TO DRESS YOU, GIVE YOU WEAPONS, AND SEND YOU INTO THE WAR VICTORIOUSLY!   Sometimes we do not quite have our armor in position. Sometimes we are using last season's war methods. Som...

Day 9:  A Hole in our Soul and a Grieving Spirit Can Create Dread! Rebekah Faubion and Penny Jackson have helped us the last two days to deal with some of the wounds in our lives. Grief can lead you to dread. Have you ever listened to someone talk about what bad could happen next week, or next month, or even in the years to come?  They dread getting up in the morning because of what could happen by the end of the day.  Penny continues to help us better define the dread by writing the following: I was helping my tutor student prepare for his English final exam the other day.  We were going over the story of Pandora in Greek mythology, one I hadn't thought about in years. I knew the basics: she is given a box and told not to open it. Curiosity got the best of her, she opened it, and evils (greed, pain, misery, etc.) started entering the world for the first time. Only one evil remained in the box.  That was foreboding .   One version put thi...

Devotions for Day 8:  How Long Will You Grieve? and Day 9:  A Hole in our Soul and a Grieving Spirit Can Create Dread! December 14, 2014 Dear Break Through Believers: I am so grateful for how many of you are following the  21 Day of Seasonal Devotions .  I hope each day is helping you break through this holiday season.  Below are our devotions for Days 8 and 9. Day 8: How Long Will You Grieve? The Christmas season can be one of the most glorious times of reflection for some, and heartbreak for others. Many can’t celebrate because of grief.  Grief is a process of life.   We all go through losses that result in seasons of grieving.  God has ordained a timing element to get us through grief.   Each year He would have us at the Feast of Tabernacles to rejoice for seven days. Rejoicing is an act that our will must come into agreement with. Nehemiah 8 is the key! The people were grieving over their deviation from the wor...

The New Sound Breaks the Old Cycle! Day 7 Devotion: A Dream Full of Bullet Holes! December 12, 2014 Dear New Sound Saints: We are looking forward to another wonderful Celebration Service this Sunday morning. During this type of year, music and sound are particularly meaningful. We remember songs from centuries ago, as well as new songs that also help us celebrate this season and the gift of God's Son. Sound creates movement. Furthermore, new sounds break old cycles. In each new age, there are sounds that come forward that express the revelation for that age, and create new levels of understanding. Therefore, I am excited that  Robert Heidler  will be teaching on  "The New Sound Breaks the Old Cycle: The Spiritual Power of Sound!"  I hope many of you will be able to join our Special Seasonal Sunday Celebration either onsite, or by webcast. Day 7 Devotion: A Dream Full of Bullet Holes! Let Your Shield of Faith Be Restored! One of the pieces of ou...

Don't Miss the Activities through  Starting the Year Off Right! Plus Day 6 Devotion! Day 6: Agree With the Sound of Heaven to Break the Ceiling Over You! These devotions are stirring up revelation in people all over the world!!!! T here are invisible ceilings above us that compete with the blessings of God manifesting in our lives! Some of these are created by our unbelief, and others are developed by the enemy's attempt to block us from experiencing the glory of God in our midst!  I declare that you will begin to open your mouth and praise God in a way like never before!  Sheryl Price  sent the following: I was so excited to read the GOZ seasonal devotion yesterday written by Melinda Richardson. Sunday evening, at our fellowship here in New Jersey, the Lord showed us something very similar to her word! During worship, a noticeable shift came into the atmosphere. Instantly, we were corporately taken up into a place in the Spirit that we have never...
