Discerning of Spirits:
The gift of discerning of spirits is to be able to discern what spirit is active in a person’s life. If you have this gift you can both discern, evil humanity at work, and Holy Spiritual work in a person’s life.
Some have intimated that if you don’t see as much good as bad you are unbalanced. This is error or lie. You will more often see and feel evil with this gift because it is prevalent in the land in this hour.
If you have this gift you don't have to wonder about it. You operate in it. Many who do not operate in this speak blasphemous words against it. Some shallow boy prophets think they know all. None of us do.
The gift is there when needed. But it is not a replacement for the word, prayer or any other disciple of our faith walk.

Hunger
Third world hunger has long been a place were those who were able to give, need to place their charity. We are seeing an alarming rise in hunger in the USA. Larry Jones ministries has long worked to stomp out this evil.
To give to Larry Jones may be to feed your neighbor, or yourself in the days ahead. To give to the poor of other countries is to honor the example of Christ who fed the crowd with a few fishes.
There is plenty of food, to feed the world. Distribution, and release of it is the problem. The globalist elite do not want the world fed, and they work against those who attempt to feed the hungry. Distribution is expensive.
When I pray concerning famine I see a wicked looking hooded figure holding back the food, and I see a starving emaciated woman laying on the ground starving.
There are many things to be considered concerning feeding other nations, including their political system. Making evil men stronger is not a goal of any of us, but should the hungry people be punished for evil leaders? This is a real question. I am most motivated to give, where the leadership is attempting to resist global control, and where they are heading their nations toward freedom.
I recently ask the Lord where I should give my financial gifts since only those who physically walk with me give to me. It was then that I again thought of the hungry.
I exhort you to ask Jah what he would have you do concerning the hungry.

Thomas Akempis: An Imitation of Christ
From: Thomas Akempis: An Imitation of Christ
"The more recollected a man is, and the more simple of heart he becomes, the easier he understands sublime things, for he receives the light of knowledge from above. The pure, simple, and steadfast spirit is not distracted by many labors, for he does them all for the honor of God. And since he enjoys interior peace he seeks no selfish end in anything. What, indeed, gives more trouble and affliction than uncontrolled desires of the heart?
A good and devout man arranges in his mind the things he has to do, not according to the whims of evil inclination but according to the dictates of right reason. Who is forced to struggle more than he who tries to master himself? This ought to be our purpose, then: to conquer self, to become stronger each day, to advance in virtue."

Our Word
I just finished a posting a word from Bob and Bonnie Jones on my Blog Emmaus Road Prophet. Their word was on the importance of our words. My comment on that is listed below:
"For many years we have been walking in this revelation. Glad to see it posted on a more visible Web Blog. We have long lived in the understanding that there is a difference between an evil report, and a report of evil. When we need to report an evil concerning a brother or sister in the Lord we always pray for that individual, and ask for a new path for their lives. A highway as it were. Gossip is a great divider. The real remedy for gossip is not, to just never talk about someone else. It is rather to speak the truth in love."

Thomas Akempis: An Imitation of Christ
IMITATING CHRIST AND DESPISING ALL VANITIES ON EARTH
"HE WHO follows Me, walks not in darkness," says the Lord.[1] By these words of Christ we are advised to imitate His life and habits, if we wish to be truly enlightened and free from all blindness of heart. Let our chief effort, therefore, be to study the life of Jesus Christ.
The teaching of Christ is more excellent than all the advice of the saints, and he who has His spirit will find in it a hidden manna. Now, there are many who hear the Gospel often but care little for it because they have not the spirit of Christ. Yet whoever wishes to understand fully the words of Christ must try to pattern his whole life on that of Christ.
What good does it do to speak learnedly about the Trinity if, lacking humility, you displease the Trinity? Indeed it is not learning that makes a man holy and just, but a virtuous life makes him pleasing to God. I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it. For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God? Vanity of vanities and all is vanity, except to love God and serve Him alone.
This is the greatest wisdom -- to seek the kingdom of heaven through contempt of the world. It is vanity, therefore, to seek and trust in riches that perish. It is vanity also to court honor and to be puffed up with pride. It is vanity to follow the lusts of the body and to desire things for which severe punishment later must come. It is vanity to wish for long life and to care little about a well-spent life. It is vanity to be concerned with the present only and not to make provision for things to come. It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides...."

2003 to Today
2003 was a particularly rough year for many in the prophetic community. It was that year that brought a great divide. Amos 3:3 may have been the primary scripture verse for that year. The divide that came that year sent many away from the lives of the true sons of Jah. It is interesting to note that, that divide, was first a separation of the traditional from the Prophetic and Apostolic.
The divide did not stop there. Indeed it continued on and now has spread into the evangelicals. They have been experiencing many betrayals, which have caused separation; this separation is a separation of the spiritual from the religious, this mostly in the last two years in evangelical circles.
The separations are usually the result of some offense, and rarely are they just agreement by brothers, to go different paths. They usually contain betrayal by one party or the other.
I do believe in the long run, the judgment that we have known since 2003, will be good for the Spiritual.
As is always the case, with Jesus’ correction in His body the pain has purpose. In deed our Lord cannot use men who will not be delivered from the enemies lies. The Mark of the Beast we see in most of the church is powerlessness, reasoning, and dead works. This powerlessness is symbolized by the mark men take in their Forehead/mind and Hand/works.
Kingdom Prophet, let our works be fruitful unto the Kingdom!

The Voice of Change
Being the voice of change is a two edged sword. One edge cuts and the other heals. When you are given a message of change, it carries with it the need to be proclaimed to people who may not be receptive to that message. Indeed most Church people want to keep the status quo in their religious activities.
But Jah is serious about being the Lord of the church. He wants to be Lord. He will refuse any other position we offer to Him. For He is Lord with our “bended knee”, or not. Where Jesus is heralded as Lord, the kingdom is manifest. (the kingdom has come, is coming, and will come) As we see the church progress toward the time of the manifest kingdom in the earth, we will necessarily see many changes. Changes do not come without a word of change being preached and taught. For over two decades now, the Lord has called His prophets of the kingdom, to speak to the church concerning this greater dimension that He has called us to.
The Lord has always called a people out of a people. Israel was called out of the people of the world. The church was called out of the heritage that Israel was granted. Prophets and Apostles are called out of five ministry giftings as being foundational. Moses was called out of the waters of the Nile river to be the deliverer of Israel. Indeed Christ was called out of the triune GodHead to be our savior. To be called out is to be chosen for a purpose. Christ the called out savior has given us gifts which are needed for the edification, the maturity of the body. When Christ created the heavens and the earth into being, He did so by spoken word.
When we speak His Word in this day, we called kingdoms into submission to His.
As we the prophetic brethren proclaim the kingdom that is now extant, and is coming. (It is coming in a greater manifestation) Our proclaimed message is both cutting and healing to the Church. Indeed, it is so non-status-quo it is a fearful word to they that keep order by illegitimate authority. The new wine of this day, which is being produced by the Holy Spirit, messes-up everything church. However don’t think that the church just needs to die to let the kingdom of God arise. Indeed, the church needs to become one on the kingdoms (of this world) that is becoming the Kingdom of our Lord. Now it may seem strange to you that the church needs to be something else when Jah called it into being. But I would remind you that Jesus is always calling a people out of a people. The church is a seed, that must fall to the ground and die.
You kingdom prophet have been given a treasure in an earthen vessel. Cherish the truth that your have
been given. It is the hope of this generation. Remember the church holds the keys of the kingdom. The keys were given to unlock the mystery of Christ and the church, and the mystery of Iniquity. As Christ begot the church, so the church must beget the kingdom. The Holy Spirit was the one who overshadowed Mary, to produce the Emmanuel Christ. The Holy Spirit is also the one who births the kingdom in our lives. Spirit words are the seed that impregnate the church to produce an offspring greater than itself.
As such we know that church involvement is necessary.
We are not even God’s children without the Spirit of God in us. But with Him in us, we have the power in our loins to bring forth greater works than Christ himself produced in this world. The seed of truth we hold is extraordinary. It is the now word for this now time of darkness. Beware of the darkness. If the light in us is darkness, we are above all people miserably deceived and deceivers.
Our message is one of change Kingdom Prophet. Do not be surprised is the world and religion, cast you out. For so they did the Christ of God. The more we speak the oracles of Jah, the more we may find ourselves outcasts. Yet in the spirit of Elijah, Elisha, John Baptist, and Christ-speak we must. For in our words are the life of God. Our words are spirit and truth. They will bring the kingdom, with the church fighting and accusing all the way in.
Don’t fear to be the voice of change where you are. Speak the truth in Love. Leave the rest to Holy Spirit
