Love is Life


Love is Life

(A Psalm of Antoaneta)

Love is selfless,
and not easily provoked,
Love is glorious, beautiful and bold,
Love stands mighty
and consumes with fire all,
that which comes
form selfish hearts,
Love is Life
the great and awesome Fire
which consumes the darkness
with it’s Light.

Doubt not that Love is real
and doubt not that Love is God,
for only He can make
all knees bow before Him
and only He can make
each tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
and only He
can make you to forget the things of old
and make them silent
and forget them
when Death is cast into the see and
then new Life comes.

Why live in darkness,
why walk in pain?

Death has not God’s glory,
but death has is the glory of a man.

You’ve seen it all with me my friends,
You’ve seen the Moon,
the countess stars,
the clouds on the sky,
the bright and shining Sun,
the oceans and the rivers,
the gardens and the deserts,
you’ve heard
the birds sing their songs to God,
you’ve heard the lions roaring,
you’ve heard about the countless wars
and countess bitter news
of killings and senseless murder- suicides,
you’ve heard it all,
you’ve seen it all
when silver
crowns your head with wisdom,
and you know
that every word I say to you is truth,
and some of you have seen it
while you were like me a youth,
but have you felt the pain of them
who starve for Love and Life today,
have you cradled their thoughts
as yours,
so you may know and understand
why they have lost
all of their hope this day.

Many die unnoticed,
and their names are written on this earth,
many die
because the ones who said
they knew the Lord of Love
passed them by in their hurry
and gave them nothing
from the treasures
that they thought they had.

Love is all we need this day,
Love is God
and without His Love abiding in our hearts
manifested in it’s glory
we will perish just like them
who knew Him not.

I speak to one,
I speak to all
who say they know the Lord
who gave His Life for all,
the Lord of Glory Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
the Son of Love,
to know the Lord
is to be taught by Him,
to know Him is to agree
and walk as One with Him,
to know Him
is to Love the ones who hate us,
and to feed them with
the Love He gave us.

To know Him is to see no walls,
no creed, no diversity of tongues, no color,
no denominations,
nor dogmas,
no religions which bring division
to the ones He so desire to unite as One!

One in Christ we stand, One nation,
One glorious Church,
without a wrinkle,
without a spot,
One body undefiled.

To them who do believe in Jesus Christ
that He is Lord
and God has raised Him from the dead
walk in Love with all
and Love is
to speak of Him
who gave His all to save the world,
and make men like Himself.

To them who know Him not,
believe the words
of God’s glorious salvation,
the Gospel of His Love
and walk away from everlasting darkness
and the death,
you were conceived in
and come to Him the Only Savior,
the everlasting Life
God the Father
has commanded to the world
He Loves beyond description.

Love is Life, Life of Glory,
Life of Peace, Life of goodness
once you taste
you will know
what true Love is
and share it with all.

Rule in the Midst of Your Enemies!



Francis Frangipane:
Rule in the Midst of Your Enemies!

True peace does not come from extreme indifference, nor does it originate from becoming so "spiritual" that you fail to notice the world around you. Peace is the fruit of being confident in God's love; it is born of the revelation that, regardless of the battle, "greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). You are not self-assured, you are God-assured.

The God of Peace Will Crush Satan

To wage effective spiritual warfare, we must understand and use spiritual authority. Spiritual authority, however, is not forcing your will upon another person. When you have spiritual authority, you have established God's peace in an area that once was full of conflict and oppression. Therefore, to truly be able to move in authority, we must first have peace.

The apostle Paul taught, "The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet" (Romans 16:20). When we maintain peace during warfare, it is a crushing deathblow to satanic oppression and fear. Our victory never comes from our emotions or our intellect. Our victory comes by refusing to judge by what our eyes see or our ears hear and by trusting that what God has promised will come to pass.

We will never know Christ's victory in its fullness until we stop reacting humanly to our circumstances. When you truly have authority over something you can look at that thing without worry, fear or intimidation. Your peace is the proof of your victory. Jesus' authority over the violent storm (see Matthew 8:23-27) was the exercise and expansion of His peace over the elements. He did not fight against the storm, nor did He fear it. In perfect peace, He faced its fury and subdued it with His authority.

In Pilate's court, in a world stirred to an emotional frenzy by the powers of Hell, a holy tranquility surrounded Christ – peace that was born out of His resolve to do God's will no matter what the cost. His Spirit emanated a calm that perfectly represented the peace at God's throne. In a matter of moments it was no longer Jesus who was on trial, but satan, Pilate and the religious establishment in Israel.

Satan's arsenal consists of such things as fear, worry, doubt and self-pity. Every one of these weapons robs us of peace and leaves us troubled inside. Do you want to discern where the enemy is coming against you? In the network of your relationships, wherever you do not have peace, you have war. Conversely, wherever you have peace, you have victory. When satan hurls his darts against you, the more peace you have during adversity, the more truly you are walking in Christ's victory.

Paul tells us to be "in no way alarmed by your opponents – which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you" (Philippians 1:28). Your peace, your immovable stand upon the Word of God is a sign that you are positioned correctly in focused submission to the will of God. The very fact that you are "in no way alarmed" by your adversary is a sign that you have authority over him.

Peacemakers Are Sons of God

Peace is Spirit power. Peace is an attribute of the Holy Spirit, and when you are walking in peace, you are walking in power. A peacemaker is not merely someone who protests against war; he is one who is inwardly so yielded to Christ in spirit and purpose that he can be called a son of God (see Matthew 5:9). Where he goes, God goes and where God goes, he goes. He is fearless, calm and bold. Peace emanates from him the way light and heat radiate from fire.

In the battles of life, your peace is actually a weapon. Indeed, your confidence declares that you are not falling for the lies of the devil. You see, the first step toward having spiritual authority over the adversary is having peace in spite of our circumstances. When Jesus confronted the devil, He did not confront satan with His emotions or in fear. Knowing that the devil was a liar, He simply refused to be influenced by any other voice than God's. His peace overwhelmed satan. His authority then shattered the lie, which sent demons fleeing.

Rest Before Rule

In the 23rd Psalm, David declared, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me" (verse 4). There is a place of walking with God where you simply "fear no evil." During his lifetime, David faced many enemies including a lion, a bear and a giant. In this psalm he stood in the "shadow of death" itself, yet he feared no evil. David's trust was in the Lord. He said, "You are with me." Because God is with you, every adversity you face will unfold in victory as you maintain your faith in God.

David continued, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (verse 5). The battle you are in will soon become a meal to you, an experience that will nourish and build you up spiritually.

Only God's peace will quell your fleshly reactions in battle. The source of God's peace is God Himself. Indeed, "before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal" (Revelation 4:6). The glass sea is a symbol: there are no ripples, no waves, no anxieties troubling God. The Lord is never worried, never in a hurry nor without an answer. The sea around Him is perfectly still and totally calm. All our victories flow out from being seated here with Him.

God is our Father. The heavenly Jerusalem is our mother, the birthplace of our new nature (see Galatians 4:26). And you, you are a beloved child of God, part of the Father's family and a member of His household (see Ephesians 2:19). You must know by revelation that you are not struggling to get into Heaven; rather, you were born there in spiritual rebirth (see John 3:1-8 AMP). Let your heart be settled and positioned correctly in your relationship with the Almighty.

To those who have been born again from above, He says, "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet" (Psalm 110:1). Before you go into warfare, recognize that it is not you that the devil is afraid of; it is Christ in you! We have been raised up and seated with Christ in heavenly places (see Ephesians 2:6). This is why the Holy Spirit continues to speak to us that worship of God is our first response in battle.

Position yourself in the presence of God. Sit, at rest, in the knowledge that Christ has already made your enemies the footstool for your feet. From a position of rest, the Word of the Lord continues, "The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, 'Rule in the midst of Your enemies'" (Psalm 110:2).

Rest precedes rule. Peace precedes power. Do not seek to rule over the devil until you are submitting to God's rule over you. The focal point of all victory comes from seeking God until you find Him, and after finding Him, allowing His presence to fill your spirit with His peace. From full assurance at His right hand, as you rest in His victory, so will you rule in the midst of your enemies.

The preceding message is adapted from a chapter in Francis' book, The Three Battlegrounds.

It is the Hour of the Kingdom


Eileen Fisher:
It is the Hour of the Kingdom

The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on May 17, 2011 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

"I Am Anointing Your Heads with Oil"

The Lord said, "I am the Good Shepherd and you are My sheep. Each sheep I know by name; each sheep I know by pain; each sheep that has been faithful, each sheep that is trying to hide in the bush. I am the Good Shepherd. Mine know Me, but more importantly I know Mine. I say 'more importantly' because I am the One who rescues.

"I am the One who cuts a pathway. When there seems to be no way, I come in as the Shepherd. I am the One who chooses where you will lay down by still waters. I am the One who will hand feed you when you are too weak to rise up. I am the One who will come and anoint your head with oil, which will cause the enemies around you to leave because of the scent of My fragrance.

"I am anointing your heads with oil tonight," says the Lord your God. "For as you have sent up to Me sweet fragrance of praise and of worship and adoration and celebration, I send down to you the anointing: the anointing of a sound mind, the anointing of healing in your body, the anointing of forgiveness and strength, the anointing that will break every yoke that does cause you to have a downcast heart, mind and spirit.

"It is the Hour of the Kingdom"

"Listen for the wind, listen for the rustle, and you will know it is Me. You will know it is Me because it will be the rustling of the robes of Heaven that have entered into the battle for even your nation. You will know it is Me that has taken up the sword. You will know it is Me that has ridden to and fro to the four corners declaring My Lordship. This is why I have directed My own to release and get out of all symbol or shadow of sin.

"I am about to bring a wave over your nation. In this wave, there will be a searchlight like you have never experienced. I will search the ones that are in hiding, and I will search those that stand openly. I will be the searcher. When I search them out, I will deposit what is holy and where there is place to deposit more power. I will also take away where there has been a responsibility that was wasted like the steward that hid the talent.

"You are moving into a serious, serious time," says the Lord your God. "It is the hour of the Kingdom. Be not afraid of the warfare, but run to the warfare and demand IT to give up the ground. I will not send you into the battle unprepared, but I will have you stand in the midst with victory, with oil, with rejoicing.

"Be not concerned, for I am about to bring exposure in your homes, in your nation. I am bringing exposure after exposure after exposure. But with each exposure, the enemy will have to give up where he is hiding. I am not exposing to bring pain; I am exposing to bring gain: gain of My presence, gain of My power, gain of My Kingdom. I will have a gainful people full of My power," says the Lord your God.

The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on May 24, 2011 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

Live, Breathe and Endure My Word...

I hear the Lord say, "I have come to you tonight and I will offer you to come before that throne of grace, My throne of grace. Boldly come declaring My Holiness, declaring My glory, declaring who I am and then allow Me to declare back over you who you are.

"Do not take who you are from the world, but take who you are from My Word. When you take who you are from My Word, My Word takes you. It takes you, it covers you, it heals you and it makes you alive. My Word is alive and you are My living Epistles. I will send you to the North, South, East and West; and in doing so I say be the living Word of God. Live My Word, breathe My Word, endure My Word through hardship, and let My Word endure through you through the hardship. You in turn will understand the power of My Word. Do you not understand the Word became flesh and dwelt among you? Now I say, Let My Word dwell in your flesh and you become My Word.

"Lay before Me. Present a living sacrifice before Me. Bring Me Isaac and let Me provide. I shall provide the sacrifice for it was provided. Now I want you to understand how to partake of the sacrifice. When you learn to understand how to partake of My sacrifice, then My sacrifice will burn within you. You will come to understand My Word will burn in you and burn out of you and burn around you. It will burn up the very thing that will come to torment you for My Word will become an all consuming fire. I, the Lord your God, am an all consuming fire. That which would come in contact with My living Word, My Word will devour in the fire of the power of the activeness of My Word.

Partake of Life...

"Lay down stress. I command you, lay down fear. Pick up faith. Choose faith, it will devour unbelief; faith that would cause you to rise up; faith that would cause you to lift your head high and fix your eyes upon the Author of your faith. Know that I am faithful. I have called you tonight to worship Me, to present yourself before Me so I could present Myself before you. Lay before Me petitions right now," says the Lord your God.

"What has bound your heart to worry? What has bound your heart to fear? What has bound your heart to disappointment and rejection? What has bound you? Bring it to Me.

"Together we will partake of the meal of sacrifice: that which you have given and that what I have given. My sacrifice shall devour yours. Where death would try to enter in, life will overcome. Where defeat would cause discouragement, courage will rise up for victory. I would request that you would cross over from the flesh, from the soul, through your heart into My Spirit that I can raise you and train you to go from glory to glory. It must be done Spirit to Spirit, life to life, breath to breath. Partake of life over your households, over sickness, over disease, over fear, over pain.

"I am training My own to wait in My presence, sense My presence, but let My presence sense you. It will sense fear, unbelief, doubt. It will transform your heart for healing and preparation because it is a new day. It is a day that My Spirit will devour your Spirit. In turn, we shall become one: you in Me and Me in you. This is My heart," says the Lord your God. "I do not sin and I invite you to join Me in sinlessness, in purity, in heart, mind, soul and body. I am a Holy God and I call you holy."

Love and Blessing,

"You Will Recognize and Hear My Voice"




Eileen Fisher:
"Mine is the Voice of Freedom, of Encouragement, of Giving"

"You Will Recognize and Hear My Voice"

Jesus emptied Himself so that you could be made full. He said, "Present yourself, even your emptiness, so that you could be made full: full of My presence, full of My power, full of My peace. It is the hour of the crossing over for My own. Have I not said in My Word you will go from glory to glory in Christ Jesus? Those who will, will rise up and they will go from glory to glory, for I have walked among the ditches. I have found the brokenhearted, the distraught, the outcast. I have found those who felt they were forgotten. I have called them by name. I have commanded them by My Spirit to draw to My side.

"I am the Good Shepherd and I know My sheep each by name. I know every need of My sheep: where to feed, where to rest, where to anoint them for healing and where to capture them when they have strayed. Have I not said, 'I know My sheep and My sheep know Me. The voice of a stranger they will not follow'?

"Tonight, I will release into your hearts, into your spirits, into your listening to where that you would recognize and hear My voice. You will know the voice of a stranger, for with it will have attachments and conditions and restraints; with Mine is the voice of freedom, with Mine is the voice of encouragement, with Mine is the voice of giving, for I have come to give. I would ask that you would learn to receive. As you learn to receive, you will be like the receiver that hangs with the phone. I will download and download and download.

"I Now Extend My Peace; There is Peace in the Blood of My Son"

"I am reconnecting a militant army. It will be so militant with unconditional love that it will not judge nor condemn, nor will it come to try to violate, nor rob, nor ravish. Instead, it will come and be willing to lay down its life so that another sheep can be given life. For I say this is the hour of surrendering, but this is also the hour of exaltation: exaltation in My glory, exaltation in My presence. Exaltation, so you will know that you have no need of man's approval but only the hand of the Good Shepherd. For as a Good Shepherd I lay My hand upon your heads tonight and I come forth to bring back to you a future of hope. For what the enemy has come to destroy and to rob, I have come to give you back: a life of abundance, My joy, My peace.

"Now I extend My peace, for you are not at war with the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven is not at war with you. There is the peace of the Blood of My Son. There is a peace of the body of My Son. In that peace there is strength, there is guidance. Know Me in stillness, and let My stillness be recognizable by those that are tossed to and fro with different doctrines. My doctrine has never changed. My own know one another by their love."

Father, we worship You and we thank You. We give You praise and glory. Amen.

"I Am Training My Bride; Hear My Voice as I Whisper to You"

The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on October 12, 2010 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

The Father would say, "I will breathe over you My Spirit this night. I will breathe in you My Spirit this night. I will breathe upon your household My Spirit this night. I will breathe upon your nation My Spirit this night. I will breathe upon My own, My Bride: pure, holy, set aside. I will say, be a Bride. Be a Bride with her mouth open with praises and worship and adoration to her King of Kings.

"For know that the hour is late. Know that I am calling My people into the Spirit for protection. Know that I am calling My people to rise up as an army in My Spirit as one voice. Know that I am calling My people in the Spirit to be hidden for the days that will come quickly. But as you are in My Spirit, you shall hear My voice as I whisper to you: go left, stand still, speak, be quiet. I am training My Bride. Do not allow distractions to pull you out of this training.

"This is the Hour of Coming So Close in the Shepherd that My Robe Goes Over You and Hides You in My Presence"

"For the enemy will come and he will set pleasantries before you, but in that is foolishness. For this is not the hour to be foolish. This is the hour that requires holiness and a listening heart and a listening ear. This is the hour of coming so close in the Shepherd that My robe goes over you and hides you in My presence. Know that I am placing My mantle upon you right now. Come under that mantle for protection. Do not bring in uncleanliness to My temple, but let My temple be made whole. Let My temple be a place that you will tarry and wait for Me.

"As you wait for Me, you will not be disappointed. I will wait upon you, hearing your petitions, hearing your cries and your requests. For I will turn all that appears evil into good. I will change the direction of the wind of adversity. I will command the wind that has been at your face to bow down under your feet. You will learn to be wind-walkers. You will learn to walk in the wind of adversity because of My breath that is My wind within you," says the Lord Your God.

"I Am Cleansing Your Temples"

"For right now, this very second, I am cleansing your temples. I am coming, inspecting your temples. I will say where there has been defilement, My Blood is being applied. Lift up your hands, My people, for a Holy God is passing among you this night. There will be a holiness in My temple. I am Holy and I say you, too, are holy.

"In holiness, you will hear Me. In holiness, you will see Me. In holiness, you will be empowered, for you will be a holy people set apart, provoking others to jealousy who would go with every doctrine and every wind. But I will have a holy people. They will be so holy that they will walk above adversity. They will long to hear My voice, and they will not long to hear the voice of anyone else. They will not long to hear pleasantries. They will not even allow criticism to come into the temple. Instead, they will long to hear My voice above all voices.

"For have I not said, 'Be still and know that I am God'? Be still and know that I am God. Have I not said in My Word, 'Hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking to the Church'? You are My Church. Listen. Listen. Listen," says the Lord your God.
