Don't Live in the Past but Remember your Victories!
I used to have all the prophecies over my life that I had recalled in a season of 2010. Then I had my computer stolen and for a while I let it all go, but today I woke 11August 2011 and GOD told me to not live in the past, but relish, rejoice in, remember, soak myself in the victories!
There is a sheer power in the testimony...encounter, and really seeing things manifest and come to pass in our lives is a must!
A person that I learn from and quote often is Bill Johnson... and he believes that teaching truths about GOD without an encounter leads to spritual pride. That statement really makes one think if they will take it seriously, and when uncovering the layers of it I have found it to be amazingly true.
Remembering the victories and encounters we have had with our FATHER and KING is so important to move into the destiny that is in us that all creation groans for!
Yesterday, I was having a good day..trying to really enjoy and focus on my last full day w/ my firstborn son, as he will travel for two months to a youth conference and to stay w/ loved ones in UK. It is wonderful but difficult as he spreads his wings like this for the first time at the age of 16. Then some people came over to meet us, and in the course of our sharing in fellowship and prophecy in the joy of the LORD as HOLY SPIRIT was having a blast with us, I started challenging one of them in the life of faith, and I remembered an amazing testimony of a trip last year that GOD opened such amazing Supernatural doors, and provided so much in such miraculous ways! I was really now excited about remembering this victory...it was such a breath of huge proportion striaght from Heaven to my sails that I felt like a conquering son that was made for even greater things...made to win! I am in a place where the needs of our ministry and family seem greater than ever, and have been very tempted to waver in my faith as the mountain seems so huge, the race almost impossible to win! So did I ever need this visit to stir up the destiny that is in me for even greater things than what we have seen to take place!
A friend of mine in Los Angeles, is a prophet, and has an awesome ministry there Shawn Bolz. Once he was teaching once on the prophetic, but was talking about running to win. I have heard and have gotten a lot prophetic stuff for others over the past few years, but even the title of this message really caught my attention..we are made for that! As prophetic people in these key times. We must keep that message ever before ourselves!! GOD is asking for more faith, and HIS Kingdom is expanding every day of it's increase we will know no end! So as HE asks us to do things that seem impossible, even more impossible than the impossible thing HE did a few months ago...We must remember the victories that spur us on “That we are made for Victory!!!”
Remembering is something that was taught to us by one of our Spiritual fathers Robert Oh. He taught us to journal in creative ways that are more than just writing (even as I write this I need to get back to doing this) I would put art, photos, ticket stubs, notes, flyers, drawings from my small children, or things from kids in our ministry that would be great memories! This has helped so much and is awesome as I remember in Dr. Oh's book “Nehimiah Leadership” In Nehimiah's day when they remembered who they were, Israel GOD's Prince or Son! Then they were able to rebuild not only the scructure of the walls of Jerusalem, but the structure of the community and the culture which GOD had given them! Thanks to GOD for this insight and to Robert who has been so amazing in our lives!
I am just getting to know Shawn, but he has a similar calling to us, based on the same scriptures and I am greatly en couraged by him when we get small messages from him across the world, and they remind us, that we are made to win, we are amazing in HIS thoughts! I can't afford to have any thoughts in my mind about me and others, that are not in GOD'S Mind about me and others!
Remind yourselves today, Set up a reflection day retreat, Go over the victories, even the victories of your brothers and sisters!!! Biblical victories they belong to all of us! Rejoice in any victories in the Kingdom because they belong to us as a family of GOD!
Remember who you are, Become who you were born to be!
I am Royalty!
I have Destiny!
