Fresh Wind Ministries, Int´l

During my prayer time last nigt, I asked the Lord the following question that many of you have probably asked as well.  ¨Father, the promises you made me, when are they coming to pass?¨  He answered with the following verse: 

2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.(NKJ)

Upon hearing that familiar verse, I was then reminded of the times the Lord has answered past request.  For me this was a gentle reminder that ALL His promises are a Yes and Amen.

Let this post encourage you. Feeling left behind? Remind yourself of past promises the Lord has answered, and He will answer those future ones as well.

Blessings in Him

I will pour out my Spirit in a greater measure to  those that are earnestly seeking Me and bowing to Me  in the quiet of their lives.

There is an abundance of outpouring that will land upon my dry and barren land.  Many are crying for more of My Spirit, for power in their lives and I will be answering those prayers in different parts of the world this month of September, for the ninth month is a month of birthing says the Lord.

Many new gifts in my people will be birthed this month. The world will be astounded at what I am doing in my Body.  These gifts will come to those that seek my presence, that seek my anointing, my glory.

For the time has come for a greater measure of my Spirit to be poured out upon the earth.

The time draws near for the return of My Son.  Darkness increases, but as darkness increases so does my power and authority says the Lord.

Vision - I saw a giant hurricane-type wind form in the ocean, and the wind would come upon the land, and overtake different parts of the world.

Word received Aug 16, 08

I am about to raise up the hidden nobodies. Those that have not bowed to the world, but have bowed to Me in their bedrooms and living rooms.

These hidden nobodies will rise up in full force, those that have heard my voice, obeyed and have waited patiently for their manifestation upon the earth.

The time draws near where they no longer will be nobodies, but my new generation of leaders says the Lord.

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’(NKJ)

As many of you know, this is my favorite verse.  I draw from this scripture when I am stuck and need help.  The Lord is faithful in answering, and He may choose to answer me directly,  through scripture or through others.

The Lord asked something  of me recently, and I wanted triple confirmation before I said a firm yes.  I had already given the Lord a half yes, only if I receive confirmation.  Does that sound familiar to anyone? 

I played the role of Nebuchadnezzar with my family.  the Lord told me something, and I am asking you to tell me what He said.  They came pretty close, but I wanted word for word confirmation.

I received my answer, and it was given to me via a  prophetic word  at a small  group we attend.  Every single word spoken was such a rhema, that I finally told my husband what it was the Lord was asking. It came as no surprise to him nor to my son. 

This taught me that I do hear the Lord correctly, and  I  need to be obedient the first time around and not be a child when it comes to hearing His voice.  It also taught me to stretch my faith, and believe the impossible.

Is God asking something of you?  Believe you heard correctly, and act on it by faith.

Blessings in His name.

2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.(NKJ)

Many years ago we went to see a famous prophet speak, and this prophet told a story of two guys following him around to every meeting he had. 

Now, these two guys did not approve of  his style of preaching, much less his prophetic gifting.  These two  had a mission, and it was to irritate him while he was speaking.  To make matters worse, they always made sure they had the front row seats.

Reading the above passage, do you think Paul had people harrasing him?  I had read that the thorn in his side was slang for the day of someone being a pain in the neck.  Would you think, like the famous prophet we went to see, had a  thorn on his side by his two buddies sitting in the front row?

If you read the verse carefully, Paul was operating in an abundance of revelations.  This guy was a walking MRI!  If this prophet we went to see had a couple of messengers of a Satan to buffet him, I am sure Paul had his share.

Consider the verse in Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.(NKJ)

All this is saying is that John the Baptist cannot walk in the shoes that Jesus walked in.  Slang for the day.

Sometimes we try to get too anaylytical  regarding the Bible, and miss the message.  But if we read it in it´s full context and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance, He will do His job, and we understand the word better.

With that said, doing so makes it easier for us to understand His word and we continue growing in Him.

Blessings  in Him.

Zechariah 4:6 So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.

Have you ever been in a situation and you just don´t know how or what to pray?  Have you ever been at a loss for words?

I have been there, and believe me it can be a bit frustrating.  The scriptures says that when Jesus ascended to heaven, he would send down a comforter,  that being the Holy Spirit.

Look at the picuture above.  It is a rock, and in the middle there is hole.  The hole is caused by the water.  Water of course symbolizes the Holy Spirit.  When  I or others have been in situations where we are at a loss for words, we would just pray in the spirit, the entire time believing the Lord will answer our prayers.

Did you know that Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, and with that the authority to make a way in that rock so that we can see the end result?  We may not see the result or answer right a way, but as we persist and are faithful, the Lords faithfulness will complete it.

What areas are you facing today where there seems to be no  way out?   Use the authority that has been given to you, and begin seeing the results to your prayers.

Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him

For those of you that know me, Ephesians is my favorite book in the Bible.  I have read this book countless times, and never grow tired of it.

As I posted earlier, the Lord has been speaking to me about authority.  But, how do we obtian that authority if we don´t fully understand it?  Like with the word, everything comes by revelation through the Holy Spirit.   Consider this passage:

Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.(NKJ) 

I feel that there are many truths in the Bible that we have not tapped into yet.  Understanding His authority is part of it.  But there is also something else that I would like to share with you, and that is receiving a greater measure of  revelation.

The passage quoted above is quite popular, but have you considered personalizing this verse?  I tried that just a few days ago, and last night my spirit was leaping as I slept.   I literally said this verse in my sleep!

I will use my own name to give you an idea of how powerful this verse is:   that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, has given me, Yvette  the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

This is an exercise that I do often with other Bible passages, but it was the first time that  I personalized this verse for myself. 

Do you desire to flow in a greater revelation in Christ?  Then I challenge you to personalize this verse, and other verses that speak to you.  As you do, you will flow in power and authority unlike you have ever flowed before.

Have blessed weekend!
