Do Not Touch

When we repent for what we thought, said and did against the anointed of the LORD, the sooner things will clear up in our lives.

Pride, arrogance, religiosity, haughtiness, ego, critical, bitterness all have a way of working to get us to think, act and speak in a manner that does not line up with the language of the King and the Holy Spirit.

These attitudes will have us speaking out of presumption. These presumptuous thoughts and words can begin to work counterproductive in our lives especially when we mishandle the anointed of the Lord.

When we read in 1 Chronicles 16:22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

 Psalm 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

 He suffered (did not allow) no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes.

It had to do with the fact that Israel was on a journey and God Sovereignly protected them from harm.

He wanted His voice to be in His prophets so that they could be used to lead the people.

When we say "TOUCH NOT" this is not a pass for anything goes.

The Scriptues give a clear pattern in which to handle sin and offenses.

When we say "TOUCH NOT" in the context of understanding God is progressing His people, then we should never want to be a hindrance to the advancement of God's leaders or His children.

We think we can say and do anything and get away with it in our pride. Many individuals who do not understand spiritual principles in the Kingdom bring affliction on their own lives because of the things they feel and say about God's leaders.

When we touch these leaders, we are not just touching them. 

We are touching the anointing that is on their life that came from Christ.

Even when they are in sin or in error, we must be careful what we think and what we say about them. It could open up doors where we find ourselves to be wrestling with the Lord.

It is the plan of the enemy to use our voice for his ill intentions. If he can get us to have the wrong attitude, then we will speak and change things for the worst atmospherically.

Our heart will begin to manifest words that we will later regret because we will have to eat the harvest we reap.

The enemy is the accuser of the brethern. When a different spirit works to make us critical and judgmental it works to line us up with an anti Christ spirit. 

When an individual can run down the list of issues of every preacher, pastor and church leader has, but cannot see their own, they are moving by another spirit and will find themselves to fight against God.

1Ti 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

De 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Ec 10:20 Don't curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don't curse the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

The words we say have a way of landing before the ones we talk about. Even when we did not think they would know or hear.

I have shared before how the heavens are always listening.

Angels and devils are listening.

Ultimately, the King of kings is listening.

 Mt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

The words we speak have impact now and in eternity.

When the king finds out what was said certainly it will cause challenges for the one who thought to curse them.

If we have found ourselves to be in this kind of place, there is still room to repent. God knows why we say what we say and do what we do.

Sometimes we need to ask for deliverance and healing. Whatever the reason for our actions, we will still have to handle the repercussions.

Allow mercy and grace to step in today and start a new season of sowing.

In His Love,

Promoted For Others

When the Lord promotes His servants it is for the benefit of the people.

2Sa 5:12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake. 

When God exalts us, it is not for the benefit of self but for the Kingdom and for others.

We become blessed through the promotion but it is not just for self to be acknowledged or raised up.

It comes with great responsibility.

Hebrews 5:1 shows the duty of the High Priest to the people of Israel.

 Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

The high priest was taken from Men to be ordained for men pertaining to the things of God. The responsibilities of the High Priest was to keep Heaven and Israel  (Earth) connected. 

It was to make sure any sin or transgression was absolved through sacrifices and offerings.

 It was the responsibility to maintain a continual flow between God and Israel. They were offering up continual intercession.

We still have the responsibility of bringing gifts and sacrifices to the Lord. 

We do not bring bulls and bullocks or Lambs but,

we are to bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. We are to bring fasting.

We are to bring intercession and prayers. 

We are to bring our worship. 

We are to bring our talent and monetary blessings.

Many saints do not realize it but a true five-fold minister is a gift to the people.

Ephesians 4:8 Therefore He says, “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

He gave gifts to men and then released these gifts to the people. A person called and anointed by God is a gift given to Humanity.

This Duty and responsibility is completely birthed out of Heaven.

When God ordains a man or a woman it literally means he placed his hand and took them out to place them in. 

To set them up to cause them to stand and be permanently established for the task or work that is in front of them.

 This is for the benefit of the people that they are called to serve that they might be established.

Ephesians 4:12-13

12  for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

13  until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

In order for the kingdom of heaven to be released it must be a person who has not chosen this Duty for them self but he who is called by God.

Hebrews 5: 4  Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

Aarons name means light bearer.

One cannot lead people to a light that they were not birthed out of. 

We are to bring individuals into the Light.

We are not to try and be that light or draw people to ourselves.

We have been ordained for the benefit of the people.

Be Endued

After Smith Wigglesworth died in 1947, doctors are said to have found that some of the bone on each of Wigglesworth's knee caps was missing.

Later, in his house, others found two indentations, about a foot apart, on the wooden floor of a corner room.

Pictured are a set of footprints left indented in the wood floor by a monk who prayed in the same spot for 20 years.

What does consistent prayer look like?

It looks like constant power!

We must pray and ask the Lord to show us how to find that secret place with Him.

Concentrated prayer in the Upper Room brought the 120 to receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and being recipients of the promises of God.

They gained the ability to have an uninterrupted fellowship with the Lord through the Spirit. 

They were empowered with gifts, boldness, confidence, new faith, power and authority.

They became sealed in their relationship and identity in Christ.

The Lord told the Apostles And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49

The word endued means literally to sink into clothing, put on, clothe one's self.

 In the senese of sinking into a garment; to invest with clothing, to clothe, to have put on.

The same way we put on our clothes and stretch out in them, or put on a coat and let it set on and around us is the same way we are to allow the fire of the Holy Spirit, power and authority rest on and in us.

They were BAPTIZED in the Holy Spirit amd Fire.

In Acts 2 we read 1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Let us note that they were being obedient waiting in Jerusalem. We then see the fruit of their obedience.

1. They had been in prayer

2. They were in one according (agreement)

3. A sound came forth

4. The sound originated from Heaven

5. It was like the sound of mighty rushing wind

6. The sound FILLED THE HOUSE

7. It says that they were sitting

8. The fire appears over each of them

9. The fire sits on them

10. They were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit

11. They spoke with other tongues

The SOUND FILLED the HOUSE.  Meaning it was filled up, hollowed out and made full.

They were FILLED meaning they were accomplished, filled, fulfilled and furnished.

When the Spirit sat on them He literally took a SEAT.

The Spirit of God now residing in man can legislate in the Earth matters pertaining the Kingdom.

The King was now sitting upon the Throne of the hearts of His people.

This was only accomplished through obedience and prayer. They had to remain IN PLACE until they were CLOTHED from HEAVEN!

To many times we rush out and go before we are clothed.

The scripture tells us to PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD. Ephesians 6:13

No soldier runs out NAKED into battle!

Every day find that place of prayer to draw on the Power of the Most High.

Tarry means to sit down. 

Literally sit down and take a seat until He makes you His Seat in the Earth.

Sit UNTIL YOU ARE ENDUED!

Take a SEAT UNTIL He FULLY CLOTHES YOU!

What long lasting results have we seen from persistent and consistent prayer? 

The impact can outlive our lifetime.

When it came to prayer Smith was quoted saying "I don't often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying.” - Smith Wigglesworth.

The SOUND that fills Heaven filled the house and now fills US!

The Sound of the King and His Kingdom is now in us

Make a JOYFUL SOUND!

In His Service,

Overcoming Darkness

Make no mistake ...

A user does not miss people. They miss what people have and what that did for them.

This kind of personality can be found in the traits of Jezebelic type behavior.

They can move on from person to person with zero emotional attachment.

Don't look for tears, regret, sorrow or for them to say I miss you. 

They will have already found someone to fill the void with what they want through another person.

Like a leech, they stay attached to a person and drain them of their virtue and eventually work to diminish their value.

In Scripture we find the term horseleach which is a horse fly.

These flies could grow into massive swarms feeding off of animals depleting them.

They can swarm so massive in the nostril of a horse causing them to suffocate or overheat.

A horse cools its body down through breathing through its nostrils.

The enemy works to take and to stop up the breath we need to live. 

Proverbs 30:15  The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

16  The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

Once they cannot make a natural or spiritual withdrawal from that person they will find another source.

This leaves many individuals dillisuioned as they felt purpose in the connection but upon close examination will find it was not a relationship. It was a one sided benefit to the other person. Not a mutual commitment.

When we look at outerspace and the vast universe we find what is known as a black hole.

A black hole is a sun that collapsed on itself.

Now, instead of giving light, it now has become a vortex that sucks in everything around it.

Science has shown that the gravitational pull of a black hole is strong enough to bend light.

Isn't that something. That which used to emit light has lost its power to give light and now can make light from others suns and stars bend into it.

Lucifer was known as the Morning Star or Light Bearer.

After his rebellion and being cast down he no longer emitted the light of his original design.

He does not release genuine light now, but false light.

The word tells us in 2 Corinthians 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

An angel or messenger of light.

This word transformed means to disguise or transfigure. He is not real light so must now put on an image.

A pretender. Because he stood before the Source of all life and the true Light, he knows how to look the part.

This is what happens by a person fueled by the enemy. They cover up their darkness, motives and real image through a facade.

Many times we fall for it because it looks real. With time the real identity emerges through words and actions. Eventually it becomes fully revealed what was in operation the whole time.

When this happens it can be very hurtful because things are now seen for what they really are.

This pattern of deception can be seen when a man who pursues a woman puts on an appearance but it is all an act.  A carnal man with wrong motives in hot pursuit of a woman puts his best foot forward first. Hiding and veiling his true character.

After falling for the words and acts a woman who has made herself vulnerable to this act is left devestated. She feels used and confused 

Lust, perversion, self ambitions and carnal desires all work to take advantage of another for their own gratification without caring for the well being of another.

If you find yourself to be in such a postion or know someone who is, pray that the true Light of Christ to shine on the situation.

Only the true Light can rebuke and remove darkness.

The Light of Christ cannot be overcome (John 1:5) or undone. It does not bend or bow to the darkness. Rather it reveals and removes it.

Pray for virtue to be restored and life to be poured in. Pray for the oil and the wine to heal the wounds. Pray for fresh balm.

We will find time, substance, virtue, emotion, will, have all been depleted from a person being used.

Pray the Lord to replenish and fill in what is lacking. He fills all things Ephesians 1:23

There is life after abuse

There is life after being used

There is life after being deceived

There is life after being seduced

There is life after Jezebel

There is life after ____________

There is LIFE! Reach for it!

There is hope to grab ahold of to be pulled out of the pit of despair and depression.

God wants to pull us up and out and move us from despair to being repaired.

Part of being repaired means we must be joined with the right person or people. 

We must be paired with those who will pour in what is for our best interest according to the original pattern of the Maker.

 Romans 15:13  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In His Love,

Gentle Reminders

Gentle Reminders

In the rays of the morning light

I beheld a beautiful sight.

A mark before my eyes 

to help me realize

What the Lord would say to me. *JMG

When the conditions are just right, we can see things we normally do not or cannot see.

These moments have a way of catching our attention and to cause us to ponder, contemplate and meditate.

On this particular morning, as the rays of light shone in from the East, I could see a handprint on the living room window.

This handprint was from my two year old daughter.

What made this stand out was the fact I had just cleaned this window inside and out the other day. There were no other marks on it.

We may not realize it, but we have canvases all around us. Everything we touch, we leave an impression on it. We leave our fingerprints and a trace of our DNA.

In the same way as we go about our day as we touch natural objects,  we too touch the lives of people.

As we go about our day as mature believers we should not only leave accidental impressions but purposeful marks.

We are called to be the Lords hands and feet.

In 2 Corinthians we are admonished to come out of the world and be separate.

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Cor 6:16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

We cannot leave Kingdom impressions while still bound by worldly matters.

2 Timothy 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

 4  No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

In the Old Covenant we see God dwelling in the midst of His people and moving as a Cloud by day and a Pillar of Fire by night.

In the New Covenant He dwells in us and He moves through us.

God in us wants to take a walk and use our hands to touch others in a way He leaves His DNA and mark on their lives.

Yeshua was the Fulness of the Godhead bodily. The Word tells us that He went about doing GOOD healing ALL that were oppressed by the Devil. Acts 10:38

We are told in John 7: 38 that out of us shall flow RIVERS of LIVING WATER.

This word living is important because it refers to drinkable water. Not dead, stagnant or polluted waters but fresh clean and refreshing.

LIFE GIVING

 If the Kingdom and the Holy Spirit is in us,, then we too can go about doing good.

Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. View more

2Th 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing

We need to continue in well doing. This means what we pour out on others needs to be according to the Greek understanding of the word well

beautiful, handsome, excellent, eminent, choice, surpassing, precious, useful, suitable, commendable, admirable

beautiful to look at, magnificent

good, excellent in its nature and characteristics, and therefore well adapted to its ends

genuine, approved

precious

praiseworthy, noble

beautiful by reason of purity of heart and life, and hence praiseworthy

morally good, noble

honourable, conferring honour

affecting the mind agreeably, comforting and confirming.

What impressions are we leaving? Our words and works will be revealed at an appointed time in the right light.

All of our words, works and deeds shall be brought up before He who is the Light.

May we find that they have passed His test.

May we produce works that last.

In His Love,

Jesse Griffin

Kingdom Not Entertainment

Kicking out the spirit of entertainment will be one of the most liberating and refreshing acts a Kingdom leader will do while reforming the Church.

The return of His Presence will minimize the need for performance.

The increase of His Presence will bring the heart of people to the forefront.

Many places have done everything they can to get people to the building while God stays outside.

Psalm 127: 1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

We cannot effectively build people up in His image and He not be present to gives us clues on what to look like, think, talk, walk like.

Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Smoke machines, lights, video, best sound equipment, best musicians, motivational speakers cannot do this work.

Only the Presence of the Living God and His Word can. 

Jesus told the Pharisees John 8:38  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

What is placed in front of people is powerful because it creates imagery that produces actions.

We need FIREBRAND PREACHERS who will stand before the people under the Glory of God. We need REFORMERS who will preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit again.

We need Teachers again that teach the unadulterated Word.

Entertainment mesmerizes people for a moment.

They are momentarily captivated. Entertainment does not bring transformation or reformation of Kingdom matters.

The Glory has a way of revealing things for what they really are.

He has a way of stripping the mask off and causing a full disclosure on character and motives.

The Holy Spirit is a convicter.

He searches the hidden dark crevices of a persons heart and brings it to light.

When this happens

People will either repent or run.

They will either surrender or show their stiffneck.

They will bow in worship (wheat) or stand and stare (tare)

They will work or walk away.

They will give to the Lord or grieve over their riches and the thought of losing earthly possessions.

The traits will fully be seen whether people are sheep or goat.

Whether they sit at the right hand or left hand.

As long as people are entertained they will not grow.

We must be challenged to come up higher.

To draw closer to The Father and not give in or up to the flesh or the enemy.

The equiped Bride of Christ set in place and full of the Holy Spirit is the most powerful people on the planet

Someone say education not stimulation.

Give me conviction not sensationalism.
