Secrets from Beyond The Grave

Something that happened to me this week

I had been reading Psalms 12:5-7 in the Bible.

Psalms 12:5-7 AMP.

5. Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants. 

6. The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over. 

7. You will keep them and preserve them O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.

 The next day, I was driving down the road and while coming around a curve, I started sliding. I slid all the way around and into a ditch on the other side of the road. At that point, I restarted my vehicle and put it into first gear and it came right out of the ditch. I had to find a place to turn around, so that I could calm down, because I was shaking all over.

I give God all the praise and all the Glory because I or someone else wasn't hurt, and I had missed two mailboxes, and I didn't hit any other cars, etc. I praise Him for protecting me.

Persistance Brings The Answer

Have you ever been praying about something and can't seem to get an answer?
You have to be persistant in your prayer life. In God's time your answer will come.

Text:Luke 11:5-10 LB

Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this illustration: "Suppose you went to a friend's house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You would shout up at him, 'A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit and I've nothing to give him to eat.' He would call down from his bedroom, 'Please don't ask me to get up. The door is locked for the night and we are all in bed. I just can't help you this time.' "But I'll tell you this-though he won't do it as a friend, if you keep knocking long enough he will get up and give you everything you want-just because of your persistance. And so it is with prayer-keep on asking and you will keep on getting; keep on looking and you will keep on finding; knock and the door will be opened. Everyone who asks, recieves; all who seek, find; and the door is opened to everyone who knocks."

 Persistance and the refusal to give up brings the answer. You just have to have faith. Faith can move mountains in your life. Sometimes you have to do something in order to release your faith for your miracle that you need from God. Sometimes it takes a "prove-me offering", or fasting and prayer.

Two frogs fell into a bucket of cream. One frog decided to except his fate, so he gave up, and drowned. The other frog kept on kicking until he made butter out of the cream and he was able to jump out.

Which frog are you? Are you the one who keeps on kicking? Or are you still in the bucket? The bucket can be your circumstances. In the natural world you have no way out of your situation. The only place that you can go is up, to get out of the top of the bucket. When you look up, God is there. The Bible says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all."

Here is another example found in Luke 18:1-8 LB:

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must keep praying until the answer comes. "There was a city judge," he said, "a very godless man who had great contempt for everyone. A widow of that city came to him frequently to appeal for justice against a man who had harmed her. The judge ignored her for a while, but eventually she got on his nerves. "'I fear neither God nor man,' he said to himself, 'but this woman bothers me. I'm going to see that she gets justice, for she is wearing me out with her constant coming!'" Then the Lord said, "If even an evil judge can be worn down like that, don't you think that God will surely give justice to his people who plead with him day and night? Yes! He will answer them quickly! But the question is: When I the Messiah, return, how many will I find who have faith [and are praying]?"

Prayer Request From Jesus

Prayer Request from Jesus, for the church.

I was reading the Bible the other day, and these scriptures jumped out at me.

Text: Matt. 9:36-38

Matt. 9:36 KJV

36. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

First of all, you have to have compassion for people. Jesus had compassion, and he took the role of leadership over the people.

It takes the love of God to win souls for His kingdom. You have to have a heartbeat for souls. If you don't have the desire, pray for it. Ask God for His Heartbeat for souls.

Verse 37-38

37. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous; but the labourers are few;

38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that we will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Our prayers must be for a harvest of souls, as well as labourers to reap the harvest. We have plenty of opportunities to pray for people to be saved. There isn't any shortage there!

We all have unsaved loved ones. Sometimes you have to pray for someone to come into their lives to lead them to the Lord. There are people who can have more effect on someone, because sometimes we are too close to the situation.

When we pray this prayer, we have to have the willingness to be part of the answer. It involves our willingness to respond to the call of the Lord on our lives.

Not long after Jesus made this prayer request, he commisioned his disciples and sent them as labourers. (Matt. 10:1) The very ones who Jesus commisioned to pray became spirtual harvesters themselves.

Praying this prayer can have a tremendous effect on your life. It is a submission to Him to do His will. When you are walking hand in hand with Him, then that is when you have His peace and Victory in your life. You are most miserable when you aren't in His perfect will.

I challenge you to pray for Jesus' prayer request, and see what He does for you in your life. You have to get on His team. Look at the word, TEAM. There is no I in it.

I feel led to pray for the people who are reading this.
Father, I ask you to move on the people to pray about your prayer request for your church. I ask you to give them a spirit of prayer, and the willingness to be a labourer in your harvest, even if it means they are just a prayer warrior for your kingdom. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.

Holy Altars

Are you giving to God on Holy Altars?

Exodus 29:38-42 KJV

38. Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

39. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

40. And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.

41. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

42. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

The Burnt Offering represents total surrender to God. The Hebrew word for Burnt Offering is "Olah", and it means "that which ascends." The offerings, the priests, (the sons of Aaron) and the altar were consecrated and set apart as Holy.

The word altar is translated from the Hebrew word, "mizbeach". It signifies a raised place where a sacrifice was made. Old Testament saints built altars unto God to commemorate whenever God appeared to them, or they received a revelation or made a vow.

The offering was totally consumed by fire on the altar in the Temple by the priests. The fire on the altar was not a natural fire, it came from God.

Lev. 9:23-24

23. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.

24. And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Through the blood of Jesus, we are sanctified and made holy unto God today. The tithes and offerings are Holy, and the altar must be Holy also. The ministry and the Church must be Holy also. When the offering was accepted, the fire came out from before the Lord. That was a sign that the offering was accepted. We don't do these kind of offerings anymore due to Jesus Christ being our sacrifice. We give ministries money today instead of sacrificing animals, and giving crops.

Tithing is not an option. It was commanded in The Law of Moses, and Jesus himself said that we should pay tithes. You have an option though. If you have to redeem your tithe money for something else, you pay interest of 20% on what you owe when you settle up with the Lord. See Lev. 27:31. The Bible says to add a fifth part to your tithe.

I recently read a book about this subject, and was wondering where people where getting the 20% interest. If your tithe is the tenth of your income, wouldn't a fifth part be 5% more? I looked it up in my Dake Bible also. Dake Annotated Reference Bible-KJV-Large Print [B-KJ-DAB BLK RL LP] [LARGE PRINT] It said the same thing. I prayed about it, and then the understanding came to me. The tithe is 10%, you add another 5% to the tithe, and the fine is 5% for not paying your tithe and using it for something else.

Just be sure that you do settle up with the Lord if you do this. You don't want to interrupt the flow of God's blessings on your life. If you use your tithe money for something else, your money and the thing that it used it for becomes cursed. I didn't make this up, I am telling you what the Bible says about it.  


Are your offerings acceptable unto God? Are you giving on Holy altars? Is the ministry that you give to, winning souls for God? Do they pray for the needs of the people? Do they let the Holy Ghost lead them in their ministry? Do they subject themselves to be under the correction of the Holy Spirit? Are you totally surrendered unto God? If you said no to any of the above questions, it may cause your flow of blessings from God to be blocked. Ask God to direct you to the ministry that has a clean and Holy altar.
