PURITY HAS AN ENCOUNTER IN HEAVEN!! by Lana Vawser

lanavawser@gmail.com 

Hi Friends, I had an open vision in my quiet time recently where I was taken to heaven and shown a mansion that was being prepared for a saint - a leader that was walking in Purity. As we walk in purity of heart before the Lord, may we see God. (Matthew 5:8)

Heavenly Encounters await,

Blessings, Lana

This is Purity's story. I want you to meet Purity. Purity is a lover of Jesus. Purity is one continues to seek hard after His heart. Purity is one who stands on the front line and is partnering with Him in what He is doing on the earth. Purity has suffered much, endured much, walked deep valleys with Him while the storms raged, and one who has danced and cried with joy on the mountaintops.

Purity is one who knows the secret place well and greatest desire is to know Him. Purity in this season has felt the sudden onslaught of the fiery darts and weary from the battle, that began to feel the `tug' to withdraw and find the cave to hide in away from the eyeballing stare of the enemy.

Purity had misplaced boldness and forgotten the authority that was theirs because of the weariness that had become so heavy from the battle and the wounds from the darts throbbed with an ache Purity had not known before.

In Purity's place of despair, the place of almost giving up, Purity began to feel His wooing of love.."Come away with Me. I want to show you something.."

Purity had hardly any strength to press forward anymore, or go deeper, the best Purity could do was stay collapsed at the feet of the One who held her heart in His hands. Suddenly, He, beautiful Jesus reached down and lifted her high off the ground through a portal and entered into a whole new dimension.

Purity found herself standing before a MANSION and she knew she was in heaven. She looked to her left and she saw Jesus standing beside her. She was standing there with Him, in AWE of this MANSION.

It had all the colours of the rainbow all over it, sparkling with swirls like glitter. It was like the house was alive and breathing. This house was FULL of life. Jesus grabbed her hand and He smiled at her and He said:

"I have brought you here to show you a representation of the impact you are having on earth in Me. Do not ever doubt the impact you are having and the treasures in heaven that are being stored up for you. This is just the beginning of what is stored up for you. Come let me show you something."

He then walked with Purity hand in hand up to this mansion and he opened the white picket fence and as they stepped onto the footpath, they heard this roar of applause. All around the house, around the picket fence were all these people who were shining brighter than anything Purity had ever seen.

They were the great cloud of witnesses and they were applauding loudly.

Purity walked hand in hand with Jesus into this mansion, yet she couldn't see much inside except polished floorboards, and she instantly had the sense that she couldn't see anymore in this house because her mission on this earth still had a long way to go and was nowhere near finished yet, but a stirring began to fill her heart that it was going to get a lot FULLER from this point.

Purity felt His strong yet gentle hand motion her to the right, and Jesus spoke: "After the many assaults that you have faced this has now been opened up to you" and there was a HUGE door before her that was covered in jewels.

He opened it, and inside there was a river flowing, but this river had HUGE waves and it was flowing all through the room. It was so beautiful, she was completely immersed in these waves.

The Lord led Purity into the middle of this room filled with the rainbow waves and He began to laugh and laugh and laugh, such joy. Purity began to cry and cry and cry as the grief and pain in her heart began to pour out, she knew instantly that He was restoring her heart.

As the grief and pain came out it was swallowed up by these beautiful rainbow waves and in the place where this pain and grief was her heart was being filled with this rainbow coloured water.

INSTANTLY she knew that HE WAS CHANGING THE ATMOSPHERE IN her promises, IN her destiny. He was turning the pain and the grief into JOY. His laugh had two different sounds. It was a laugh of pure joy, but also a laugh at the enemy.

As he laughed at the enemy, it carried SUCH authority. As each laugh left His mouth, it was as if His laugh were messages, carrying sentences of authority towards the enemy.

The first time He laughed at the enemy, the words boomed: "You think you hit Purity hard, your attempts are petty. You just wait and see what I am going to do to you through her. I am LAUGHING at your attempts. You just watch and see what I am about to do in and through her. Thank you for positioning Purity for greater promotion."

Once the pain had left her heart, she began to laugh and laugh with Him, their heads flung back in laughter. He then looked into the middle of this room of rainbow waves, and reached in deeper than Purity could see and He pulled out four flags, and He said to her "These are to take back with you."

The first flag was purple and written on it in HUGE letters was the words "FAVOUR AND PROMOTION". The Lord then began to explain to her that new doors and floors of favour and promotion are opening up to her.

The second flag was orange and it said "HONOUR". The Lord went onto say that there was going to be greater visible manifestations of the His honour and vindication over her life that would bring great change and transition in the body of Christ as she ministered to restore honour in the Bride.

The third flag was green and it said "FINANCES". The Lord spoke.. "Where the enemy has stolen and broken in the area of finances I am going to bring huge breakthrough and provision leading to HUGE testimony. The Lord was breaking a lot of financial burden the enemy had brought upon her.

The fourth flag was blue yet in the light it was all the colours of the rainbow and it said "DOUBLE PORTION OF REVELATION AND ACCURACY". The Lord explained that Purity was being positioned for greater clarity the moment the enemy decided to go "head to head" with her.

The Lord then turns to Purity and with a smile on His face He says "Purity, it's time to go." They walk back out of this room, out of the house, down the front steps of the porch, down the path and the crowd is still outside clapping and cheering and they are saying "You are doing SO well, it ONLY GETS BETTER FROM HERE."

They were SO excited and shouted "You just WAIT AND SEE what happens from here. YAY!!!! YAY!! YAY!!!!"

As the Lord led Purity back to portal to leave this heavenly encounter, a handful of angelic hosts crossed her path.

They spoke to her with tear filled eyes and said "It is SUCH AN HONOUR to be assigned to you and work with you in partnership with Him. They handed Purity a little wooden box and as she opened the box there were two keys.

The first key said "access to angelic encounters" - The Lord was moving Purity into a season of greater encounters with the angelic hosts of heaven.

The second key said "access to this place". An invitation was being released to Purity to come back in and out of this mansion when she needed to.

The angelic hosts spoke "This is YOUR special place".

Purity then moved through the portal and exited the heavenly encounter, but Purity was healed, restored, refreshed and positioned for greater breakthrough than she had ever known. All the darts the enemy had thrown at her to stop her from moving forward, actually positioned her for greater promotion in Him. Not only was there restoration but she had moved into a realm that was completely NEW.

Behold My Bride

A Love Poem from the Bridegroom by Christine Beadsworth

Psalm 45 says 'my tongue is the pen of a ready writer' and if we will listen carefully, our Beloved is always penning love letters to His Bride.This one I heard in Nov 2013 touched my heart afresh this morning:  My love shelters, My love leads My love strengthens, My love feeds My love carries, My love woos My love calls you, What will you choose? The hustle and bustle of markets and malls? the pastimes that thrill you, the pleasures that call? Or will you follow wherever I lead, outside the city where souls are in need? Will you share My dishonor and shun men’s' acclaim? Will you live for My glory and lift up My name? Will you follow the path that is scattered with thorns where the voice of man mocks you, where sin's weight is borne? For the Love that is calling is Love sent to die, Who, for love of the lost, gladly was crucified, will you drink of the cup that was poured out through Me? Will you lay down your life, filled with joy, willingly? I wait for your words of surrender, “I will” and two become one as My Word is fulfilled! The day of My gladness of heart has now come! the Father has found one well fit for the Son, Unveiling her born from the cleft in My side, I say to the world, “Behold now My Bride!”

Bath Time-----For everyone

It's Bath-Time For Everyone by Lonnie Mackley

The Body of Christ is going through a worldwide washing by the Holy Spirit right now where people will have to choose to either get in and get clean, or stay out and pay the price. But either way, it's bath-time for everyone because Jesus Christ is about to return for a Bride that is pure and holy and ready to meet Him at a moments notice. Now you may feel anything but clean and ready right now since the Lord has been exposing the very areas that need to get cleansed, but rest assured if you will fully cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit He will make sure that you can overcome all sin as you receive deeper revelations from Him in order to scrub out even the most stubborn of stains.

REV 7:14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

There will be no avoiding this corporate washing process so it’s best to just jump in the tub and let God do the work that only He can do. To avoid this work can result in very serious consequences because we have come to a time of separation in the kingdom between all those who will serve the Lord wholeheartedly, and those who will stubbornly cling to the world and to the idols they have felt secure with. But what will happen if we thumb our noses up at God is that more and more severe cleansing judgments and tormentors will come in order to get us back on track; or even worse, we could feel the Lord’s presence dissipate from us and be left shipwrecked and spiritually floundering.

REV 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

The bible talks about a great falling away in the last days, and much of this will be because of the great wickedness and persecution that abounds in the land, but some of it may also be the result of people who dig their heels in when God is trying to help them to come away from all that has kept them from serving Him completely in the past. We must be clean and ready for this final harvest, the great tribulation, and most importantly, meeting our Bridegroom Jesus when He returns. So I want to encourage you today to fall upon the rock Jesus now instead of waiting for the rock to fall on you. No one will escape this cleansing; so strip down, jump on in, and remember to get behind the ears.

REV 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

How and Why I must Build MY Church by Jim Hammerle

 I AM building My church so the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.  The strength of My church is in it’s purity.  Any impurity in a thing, is it’s weak point.  I do not reign as Lord over impurity.

Whatever is impure in your life, prevents Me from being Lord.  Impurity is anything that My Spirit has made known to you, that Father wants removed.  You are not responsible for anything My Spirit has not made known to you. “When known sin overtakes you it will cause all manner of immorality to occur.  But without light your sin is dead. [9] You are alive as long as My light has not shined on your impurity.  Because you are without the light on an impurity, My grace covers you: but when the light comes, the sin revives, and the impurity will begin to work death you, until you let Me purge it,” Romans 7:8-9.  The purging process is not pleasant and therefore most will quickly stop following Me.

The first part of My construction project is to purge out all impurities.  First I start with the whole church body, outwardly pruning and purging the people that bear no fruit, separating them from the fruit bearing people.  Non-fruit bearing people are usually stuck on their personal agendas, or making excuses and justifying their sin.

Then I inwardly begin to purge and prune those that are bearing fruit.  This is more difficult, especially when they discover that, “He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me,” Matthew 10:37.

It’s a painful pruning when you find out that anyone who values their career over My plan, is not worthy of Me, Luke 14:18-19, and anyone who puts their marriage before Me, is not worthy of Me, Luke 14:20. “For I say unto you, That none of these that retreated from the purging shall taste of My supper,” Luke 14:24.

It’s because of these impurities, that these lukewarm believers will never have the power to prevail against the gates of hell.  “That’s why I speak to them in parables: because seeing, they see not; and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand,”Matthew 13:13.  Any who have not surrendered to do the, “will of My Father, will not enter into the kingdom of heaven; only he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven,” Matthew 7:21.

Because the purging process is so painful, ultimately ending in death to self, while coming alive unto My Father, many will retreat, Romans 6:11-13.  Consequently they will not be able to enter into the fulness of His glory on earth or reach the throne room in heaven.

Much to the disappointment of most western church goers, I AM not an all inclusive God!  Most preachers in the west have twisted My sayings, to mean something I did not say.  Yes, I said whosoever will may come, but never on your terms.  Actually I said, “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34.

As I build My church with only pure hearts, you will begin to see Me and increase in power by cooperating faster, Matthew 5:8.  As I knit hearts together according to My Fathers plan, they will create pockets of power, that evolve into an open heaven over certain areas on earth.  These pockets of power are the beginning of My Fathers kingdom coming to earth.  As My Father adds more and more with pure hearts His Glory and power will slowly but surly cover the earth.

To the degree you allow Me to purge you, it is to that degree you will experience My Father’s glory.

Some of you are saved, but you have never allowed My purging, making you a vessel to dishonor in My house.  “In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. [21]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work,”  2 Timothy 2:20-21.

If you live an un-purged life, the best you will produce is wood, hay and stubble.  Yes, you may be saved from hell, but your eternity will be spent just inside the gate, because your reward was burned up.

“If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; but only because the fire cannot burn his blood bought soul,” 1 Corinthians 3:15.

Please trust Me when I say, ” the sufferings of the purging time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in you,”  Romans 8:18.

The Seperators

The Separators are coming by Jim Hammerle

You have heard much about the coming separation of sheep and goats, and this separation will be preformed by Me personally as king of kings.  The separation will be based on compassion vs selfishness.

The compassionate sheep will be feeding, clothing, and visiting those in need.  The selfish goats will be easy to spot because everything is about them and because of that fact, they stand alone, Matthew 25:32-33.

You may have heard about the lukewarm separation where many will be spewed out of My mouth,  Revelation 3:15-17.  This is also personal with Me because these have done more damage to the baby Christians and children than any demon has ever done.  Their double mindedness make them unstable in all they do, which turns little ones off and they are stumbled.

I will spit them out but My Father says, “whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea,“  Matthew 18:6.

Then there is the religious celebrity separation, where many of the well known preachers will say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?  and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I separate them, and say, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:22-23.

However the toughest separation will not be accomplished by Me, because the Angels have been assigned to this task.  It’s tough because they will separate real believers from the phonies.  The phonies are very well hidden because they have grown up together and dress and act and look the same as the true believer.

The innocent believer did not realize that while he slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.  [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?  from whence then hath it tares?  [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.  The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?  [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.  [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

The separation is beginning because of those who desperately want and seek My presence before anything else.  My presence, frightens the phony, and and irritates those having a personal agenda.  They either begin to react in bizarre ways, to avoid discovery or work against the flow of My Spirit to promote themselves.  The silence needed while waiting for Me to establish My agenda causes an anxiousness and irresistible desire to make noise and move on with a program.

Unless man learns to be still, he will never know that I AM God and that I AM the only one that has the kingdom program.  It’s a program that changes the hearts of men, and is not designed for entertainment.  However at the end every hungry person will be filled and will be glad and say, “a day in thy courts is better than a thousand where man is in control. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of selfish and the wickedness of self promoting man,”   Psalm 84:10.

Unrighteous Judgement- and the need for a true Heart Repentance by Glenn Jackson

UNRIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT - AND THE NEED FOR A TRUE HEART-REPENTANCE by Glenn Jackson

Words of Prophecy:    *       Those who are quick to judge with an "unrighteous judgement" have [in their holding to self-exaltive attitudes] already left themselves wide open to deception - and a lack of true discernment. *       All unrighteous judgement has its root in fear and self-exaltation [self-desire and self-agenda]. *       All "judgement" [discernment] apart from a "revelation" of My Will [Word] is unrighteous judgement, and is always condemnatory and accusatory in nature [John 8:15-16; Romans 2:1-2; Matthew 7:1-6;]. *       Righteous judgement [discernment] and righteous motivation are "synonymous" as are unrighteous judgement and unrighteous motivation."synonymous" - equivalent in meaning; expressing or implying the same idea; *       The "maintenance" of fear will ALWAYS lead to wrong discernment [unrighteous judgement]. *       Judging by "appearances" constitutes [establishes] an unrighteous judgement. *       I will judge all those who judge with an "unrighteous" judgement [by appearances] in this hour. For all unrighteous judgement indicates a heart that is ruled by unrighteous motivation [is self-serving and self-exaltive] in some form - both towards Me and, therefore, towards My people. Whereas, righteous judgement [born of divine wisdom and revelation]indicates a heart that is wholly given to Me - a heart that desires ONLY My "best" for ALL who cross their path.         ...."Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you".... Matthew 7:1-2 The Amplified Translation         ...."For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart".... Matthew 12:34 NASB         ...."Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment [by revelation]".... John 7:24 NASB         ...."The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will".... 2 Timothy 2:24-26 NASB"reproach" - to charge with or blame for something; ungodly rebuke; the expression of disapproval; adverse or hostile criticism; unrighteous judgement;         If one unrighteously judges another [through wrong discernment and/or misunderstanding] and, therefore, speaks in a manner of evil towards them [or about them] then it is certain that UNTIL they speak words of repentance to [ask forgiveness of] the one they sinned against [thus acknowledging their sin]that, regardless of their smiles and "seeming indifference" as time passes to the original situation [acting as though nothing had happened] that, in reality, they still harbour their original heart-attitude towards the one [or ones] they judged unrighteously. For it is ALWAYS out of the "abundance" [main focus]of the heart that the mouth speaks and, therefore, if the aforementioned words of true heart-repentance are not forthcoming THEN the ground [fear, self-exaltation, jealousy, etc.]within them will at some point in the future cause them once again to be used as a vessel of persecution and/or reproach.         Ungodly words [and the attitudes behind them] will always [ultimately] reap God's judgement [in the life of the one who spoke them]unless the Blood is applied over them in a spirit of true repentance - thus allowing the Holy Spirit to change the heart of the one who judged [spoke] unrighteously. Because of these things, it is of the utmost importance for one to proceed with a "holy caution" [where both their own words and actions are concerned]when in the presence of those who have been used as vessels of reproach and persecution against them in the past - yet they must ALWAYS be found "maintaining" a position of faith and love in their own heart -  in order that those who had been "held captive" by the Enemy to do "his will" might be led into a deep knowledge [revelation] of the truth.

Spirit of Sonship

Do you have an orphan spirit or a spirit of sonship? Here are 11 ways to find out.

Ever since Adam and Eve were alienated from God the Father in the Garden of Eden, an orphan spirit has permeated the earth, causing untold damage! (By “orphan,” I am referring to a sense of abandonment, loneliness, alienation and isolation.) Almost immediately after the fall in Eden, the fruit of this orphan spirit resulted in jealousy, culminating in Cain murdering his brother Abel because God the Father didn’t receive Cain’s offering. To make matters worse, in contemporary society, with the breakup of the nuclear family, large amounts of people are not only alienated from God but are brought up without the loving care and security of their biological fathers.

I believe all of the emotional, physical and spiritual ills of society can be traced to humans feeling alienated from God and their biological fathers. Orphaned men have a hard time connecting to their spouses, their children, those in spiritual authority and their supervisors, and they have a hard time accepting and loving themselves. There are presently millions of incarcerated men who are acting out lives of violence and rebellion because their earthly fathers abandoned them. There are churches filled with pastors and leaders who use people and destroy relationships because they are driven to succeed, and it’s due to their need for a father’s affirmation—which is a hole too large for ministry success or performance to fill.

The only way to break this orphan spirit is for people to be filled with a sense of the Father’s love for them in Christ, which then enables them to become mature sons who serve God out of knowledge of His undeserved grace instead of trying to earn the Father’s love through performance.

The orphan spirit is perhaps the greatest curse on the earth today. It will take spiritual parents with great spiritual depth and authority to break and reverse this curse to perpetuate a generational blessing. Only when a person is healed of fatherlessness through the love of God is theorphan spirit broken so they can begin the process of entering mature sonship. Sonship is so important that all creation is presently crying out for the manifestation of the mature sons of God (Rom. 8:19)!

The following 11 traits contrast the orphan spirit from the spirit of sonship:

1. The orphan spirit operates out of insecurity and jealousy. The spirit of sonship functions out of love and acceptance.

Those with an orphan spirit are constantly battling jealousy and insecurity, since security originates in a secure relationship with our parents. Those with an orphan spirit are so insecure, they even have a hard time hearing a biological or spiritual father praise their siblings or co-laborers. But those with the spirit of sonship are so secure in the Father’s love and favor that they’re content to serve in any capacity needed, whether or not they are in charge or celebrated in the process.

2. The orphan spirit is jealous of the success of his brothers. The mature son is committed to the success of his brothers.

Those with an orphan spirit are happy when their brother fails because it makes them feel good about themselves. On the other hand, those with the spirit of sonship joyfully commit themselves to serve, celebrate and help their brothers succeed, since they don’t work for human accolades but out of a deep sense of the love and affirmation of Father God.

3. The orphan spirit serves God to earn the Father’s love. The mature son serves God out of a sense of divine acceptance and favor.

Along these lines, those with an orphan spirit are constantly striving and trying to earn the Father’s love through accomplishment in ministry or career. Those with a spirit of sonship already know they are accepted in Christ and serve others out of the abundance of this acceptance.

4. The orphan spirit tries to medicate its deep internal alienation through physical stimulation. The mature son walks in the joy and presence of the Lord for comfort.

Those with an orphan spirit are constantly trying to push down their sense of alienation, loneliness and lack of self-worth through constant work, going from one relationship to the next, physical gratification and a life of narcissism and self-indulgence. However, the more they indulge, the more addicted they become and the larger the hole in their heart becomes because only the love of the Father can fill the deep emotional needs they have.

Those walking in sonship bask in the presence and love of God and practice the joy of the Lord continually as their source of strength because they understand that grounding their security and self-life in anything other than God is like trying to build a house on sinking sand.

5. The orphan spirit is driven by the need for success. The Spirit leads the mature son into his calling and mission.

Many attempt to accomplish great things to satisfy the deep yearning in their hearts for their father’s approval. This results in them being driven to succeed instead of being led by the Spirit. Even many leaders get their churches into huge debt to build huge buildings, driving the people around them because they are blinded by their own innate feelings of inadequacy. They think they can feel good about themselves with great accomplishments.

Only those with a strong sense of sonship will allow the Lord to direct them and bring opportunities to them without trying to drum up their own success.

6. The orphan spirit uses people as objects to fulfill goals. Mature sons serve people to bless the kingdom.

Those with an orphan spirit tend to use people as objects to accomplish their goals. Whenever we objectify people, we manipulate them with words threats, and anything necessary to have our way and control them. Mature people who walk in sonship don’t use people; they serve and release people to fulfill their destiny in Christ.

7. The orphan spirit repels children. The spirit of sonship attracts children.

Leaders and parents with an orphan spirit are constantly in turmoil, fighting and striving for their own way, which gives their spiritual children the sense that their leader is in competition with them instead of loving them. This results in repelling spiritual and biological children, which can forfeit influence over the next generation! Those who walk in sonship walk in the Father’s anointing and draw children toward them because their children hear the voice of a shepherd who cares for them.

8. The orphan spirit has anger and fits of rage. The spirit of sonship rests in the Father’s ability to control and guide the future.

Those with an orphan spirit have issues with uncontrollable anger, fits of rage and other forms of manipulation because they feel they must control others and their circumstances in order to fulfill their goals. This is because they lack the trust necessary in their heavenly Father to guide and control their future.

Those walking in sonship walk in the Father’s rest and have ceased from their own works so the Father can have His way in their lives.

9. The orphan spirit is always in competition with others. The spirit of sonship is always blessing others.

Those with an orphan spirit are always trying to outdo others in their church, family, business or denomination because they receive their identity through being better than everyone else. Those who walk in sonship are constantly seeing how they can bless others, since they already have the affirmation of God in their souls. They want to freely share His love with others.

10. The orphan spirit lacks self-esteem. The spirit of sonship walks in the love and acceptance of Father God.

Those with an orphan spirit have a hard time loving and accepting themselves. Those walking in sonship are filled with a sense of divine love and acceptance that enables them to walk confidently in the joy of the Lord in spite of the fact that all humans are sinners and fall short of the glory of God.

11. The orphan spirit receives its primary identity through material possessions, physical appearance and activities. The spirit ofsonship is grounded in sonship and the Father’s affirmation.

Those with an orphan spirit never have enough career success, material possessions, pleasure or illicit relationships to satisfy the hole in their heart related to their identity. Consequently, they are constantly striving to gain satisfaction through the use of various things or people in their lives. In many cases, even their form of dress—including an inordinate amount of tattoos, skin piercings and hairdos—can be their way of standing out as unique in a cry for attention due to a lack of self-esteem and fatherly affirmation.

Those who walk in sonship are so grounded in their divine Father’s affirmation that they can be satisfied serving in the background and can celebrate the success and attention others receive. The void in their soul has already been filled with the unconditional love of the Father.

In conclusion, the greatest gift known to humankind is to accept, receive and walk in the love of the Father, who so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that we may not perish or waste our lives away but experience the abundant life that only our divine Father can give.

United States Immigration laws against letting in Muslims from 1952

Islam, by law, is prohibited from US immigration by Bill Wilson

The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by "force, violence, or other unconstitutional means." This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House. 

The laws prohibits entry of "Aliens who the consular officer or the Attorney General knows or has reason to believe seek to enter the United States solely, principally, or incidentally to engage in activities which would be prejudicial to the public interest, or endanger the welfare, safety, or security of the United States." It also prohibits the entry of Aliens who are members of or affiliated with any organization that advocates or teaches, the overthrow by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means of the US or of all forms of law, and Aliens who publish, circulate and distribute materials teaching or advocating the overthrow by force, violence or other unconstitutional means of the US Government or of all forms of law. 

Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any "organization" that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited. It also prohibits those who distribute literature that advocates the overthrow of our country, which would include the Koran. 

In fact, there are many verses in the Koran that command Islamists to kill those who do not submit to allah and the prophet. If Congress so desired to hold the White House accountable to the current immigration of refugees (which also must comply with the law), it has the Immigration and Nationality Act to cite. The Administration is breaking that law. The question is "does Congress have the political will to do something about it?" Or shall we be a nation like that in Isaiah 59:14 where, "justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." I think you know the answer, at least for now. But there are a handful of Congressmen who are studying this. Pray.

To read the law, go to this link and scroll down to Chapter 2, Section 212:

DIVINE UPGRADES BY LANA VAWSER

A SHIFT IS HAPPENING INTO GREATER DIVINE UPGRADES

November 18, 2015

 |  6 Comments

During worship I had a vision and saw many of the people of God in "unfamiliar" in the sense of wondering what the Lord is doing, and for some they have felt like they have been "wandering", their sense of direction has been shaken. 

For others, they were stepping into areas of breakthrough that were bigger than they had imagined and fear and intimidation has been screaming at them on every side. 

I saw Jesus calling His people to a "threshold" and in order to move cross the threshold they had to take His hand and step off the edge and the "next step" wasn't highlighted yet. An even deeper level of trust was the "currency" to crossing over this new threshold. 

As the people of God took His hand in faith trusting in His GOODNESS and His faithfulness, and stepped out, an SHIFT was instantly activated. A shift into greater divine upgrades. Not only were dreams being upgraded, promises of God added to with greater increase, but explosive breakthrough of divine upgrades in little areas of their lives. Upgrades happening in the natural all around them as a prophetic symbol of what was happening in the spirit. As I wondered about this divine upgrade, I was suddenly filled with the sense of the people of God taking a greater step further into their inheritance. 

"He's marked out our inheritance ahead of time, putting us in the front of the line, honouring those He loves!" – Psalm 47:4 (The Passion Translation)

As the people of God were stepping into greater levels of upgrade, I saw Jesus standing before them and I heard Him say "ENJOY AND DEPLOY" and a SUDDEN NEW positioning of the people of God was taken place. They were being DEPLOYED for action. When I asked Jesus what the action was, He looked at me with a great smile and beaming joy and He spoke.. "LOVE IN ACTION". 

The Lord began to show me that these divine upgrades being released across the body of Christ as the people of God move forward in faith and deep trust in Him, they are being given "more" and the Lord wants His people to ENJOY that what He is releasing to them to have JOY in what their good Papa is releasing over their lives, but to also recognise that these upgrades are coming with strategic positioning to RELEASE HIS LOVE IN ACTION through the upgrades. I began seeing the people of God "handing things out" in the natural and the spirit and radical the love of God was beginning to spread into towns, cities, nations and the world in a radical way. 

"Through this greater HAND OUT from HEAVEN I am REACHING MY HAND FURTHER OUT to the world.." 

Keep walking with Him, for the Lord is moving His people into greater upgrades. He is reaching His hand further out into your life bringing increase and upgrade, and THROUGH YOU, He is reaching His hand FURTHER OUT to release the revelation of His love to those around you and the world.

You are taking a strategic place right now! Trust Him! It may not "look" how you expected but there is a divine upgrade before you. For not only will enjoy a deeper revelation of seeing His goodness in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13) but that this is also BIGGER than you. He is REACHING OUT THROUGH YOU to release His love in new and more powerful ways than you have seen before.
