THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF DREAMS
The gospel we know and perceive is like an onion; it has been put together in layers. And just like the onion has to be peeled back one layer at a time, so does the understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we are pursuing the face of the father, what we know today about the kingdom of God will be expanded tomorrow.
I often ask the Lord why I didn't tell you this sooner and why I had to wait so long to understand this particular revelation. Of course, most of the questions we ask we usually know already because the scriptures tell us that it is line upon line here, a little in there, a little, indicating that the revelation of Jesus Christ is, as we might say, in layers that must be peeled back one layer at a time.
So it is with the subject of dreams and visions. We have been taught in our early days that acts 2:17 refers to Joel's prophecy about old men dreaming dreams. Was that they were remembering the old days and dreaming about them.
Now we understand a different perspective of that scripture and begin to grasp a hold of the power of our dream life. The scriptures are full of visitations from God and angels in the dreams of men and women of old. They were guided and warned and taught spiritual principles as they slept at night when dreams came to them.
I encourage you to open your Spirit to understand the depths of your dream life and invite God to visit you at night. Remember, what you honor Will be attracted to you.
How often have we heard one of our Bible teachers tell us all that it was just a pizza dream? In reality, God was trying to break through to your Spirit and soul in dreams.
There's a reason that God put Adam to sleep when he created Eve out of his rib. It's the same reason God can speak to you in your dreams: you are out of the way and will not interfere.
So happy dreaming.

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF ASCENDING
The modern evangelical world has been robbed because of the prolonged use of the word rapture and ascending. For nearly 200 years, we have been taught that these two words are exclusive to the coming of the Lord and the end of the world. This exaggerated overuse of the focus on this post-pone rapture has caused the church to miss out on one of the essential tools we have to function as kingdom sons and daughters.
A spiritual experience called ascending is beginning to be experienced by men and women worldwide. You may be more comfortable with the word stepping into the presence of the Lord. Others, such as prophet Bob Jones, said he went to heaven five times a day.
However, you expressed it there is a place that many Christians have never visited called "the heavenly's." The apostle Paul said he went into the third heaven on one of his experiences.
We talk of dreams and visions, and yet we never question where we are when experiencing this level of relationship with the spirit of God. In what realm are we? There are many levels of spiritual experience outside of our world.
John the revelator, who was on the island of Patmos, said he was "in the spirit on the Lord's Day." We modern charismatics would say, "we were having a good time on Sunday."
Yet when he turned to see who was speaking to him, he was taken into a world of revelation and visions concerning Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God.
What is your heart telling you today, and what is the desire you have to seek his face and follow his ways? Are you singing the same songs yet feeling unfulfilled? Are you praying, yet you never seem like you're touching the father's heart?
Ask the Holy Spirit to catch you away, go higher into his presence, and listen to the sounds of heaven; you will never be the same.

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF PROPHECY
The two questions that I hear most often about the subject of the prophet and prophesy are;
What is prophecy?
Are there prophets alive on the earth today?
To give you the short answer, prophecy declares the will and the word of the Lord to those around you. I know there's a more extensive Biblical interpretation of that but simply, stated, when you preach the gospel or testify of your salvation, you are prophesying God's grace and mercy to those at listen.
You are predicting an outcome that cannot come about any other way but by the grace of God when you declare he will forgive sins.
That's the power and the purpose of prophecy.
In the book of Corinthians, Paul said that we all should prophesy. So there's something so wonderful about the ability to prophesy that God gave everyone who believes the ability to be involved.
Are there profits in the land today?
I think I just answered that question unless you're looking for the old testament prophet with the long white beard and the staff breathing fire down upon rebellious people.
There are prophets in the land that speak the word and the purposes of God, making a difference in the outcome of the church of Jesus Christ.
The prophet is someone who sees down the road; we call them the "headlights" of the church.
The teacher picks up the prophecy and lays out a spiritual path for the church to walk on to fulfill the prophecy. The intercessors get involved by taking the prophecy before the Lord in prayer, believing that the word of God will come to pass.
Scriptures tell us that if we believe the prophets, we will prosper. The congregation catches the prophecy by faith and together receives it from the Lord.
Catch the spirit of prophecy for yourself today and begin to declare your future to be God's will and filled with Victory.

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF FORGIVENESS
What does the bartender, the Catholic priest, and the hair beautician have in common? You're right. They are points of release for the innate desire of men and women to confess to someone or tell them the story of their life.
Actually, it's just the way God made us. When he wired up our internal system, he gave us a conscience that forces us at some point to confess and talk about the things we have done.
This is what is so important and powerful about the act of forgiving and forgiveness. Actions committed against us that cause negative feelings will produce a seed of unforgiveness in our souls. The only way we can be free from that, according to God's plan, is to forgive those who have offended us.
When we do, two things happen:
First, we are free from the bondage of bitterness, resentment, anger, and hatred. All those are byproducts of an unforgiving spirit that would capture us and stop us from developing our life and spirit.
Secondly, when we forgive those who trespass against us, God goes to work on those who have cheated or wounded us in any way. He is not after their destruction; he is after their redemption. God always works toward life, not death.
If we don't forgive, we are held in bondage, and the person who has offended us continues to be bound up in their lifestyle.
This is why Jesus said in the book of Matthew that when we let forgive someone else, we are forgiven in return.
It's a beautiful deal.

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF WORSHIP
When I was a kid in our Pentecostal churches, we used to call it a song service, and it was always first with three hymns and two choruses. Our song services were quite lively in our Pentecostal traditions, with plenty of praise and shouts of hallelujah. It was almost certain in the churches that were sensitive to the Holy Spirit that after we sang for a while, we could feel the presence of the Lord increase in our singing.
Most of us didn't know why we did it this way; it was passed down to us by those who raised us in the Lord. I imagine we considered it normal and felt if it was good enough for our fathers, it was good enough for us.
In 1948 we had what they call the latter rain movement that came to us from Abbotsford, Canada, via Australia. With it came a deeper understanding of the gifts of the spirit and what we know now as praise and worship. Little by little, the revelation of worship began to seep into our Pentecostal churches and other denominations until the charismatic movement blew in on us by the wind of the Holy Ghost.
It was no longer just a song service now, something we could get out of the way so we could get to the "good stuff." The praise and worship time began to be the essential entrance into whatever took place in that particular service. We begin to be taught that as the singers went ahead of the ark of the covenant in the old testament, so now worshiping saints would go ahead of the preaching of the word of God in our New Testament churches.
We discovered a new depth of revelation as we taught the word because worship had opened the heavens, just like in Solomons's temple when they dedicated that great gathering place of God's glory.
Worship and praise are really a sound of heaven reflecting through the voices of human believers who have been born from above. Most often, words are not even needed to communicate the worshiping hearts that gather at his throne.
It is my conviction that we are at the precipice of a new level of praise and worship that's coming to the church of our day. Just as dramatic and wonderful as the latter rain style of worship, this new season in our spiritual journey will blow our minds away.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN- IS SUFFERING THE MAGIC BULLET?
The consensus of theology passed down through the ages is that suffering is one of the primary vehicles that take us to godliness and maturity. Because of this misplaced emphasis on suffering, the church and generations past have made institutions out of the art and method of suffering.
The Catholic Church, which dominated the scene for a millennium, perfected the art of suffering that developed the monasteries and the multiple brands of spiritual orders that produced a method of seeking God through sacrifice and suffering.
This is a classic example of a good idea that turned into a good idea and ended up as bondage. Whatever we take something that God originated and start tweaking it so it will improve and get bigger, it always turns into self-works which equals dead works.
In plain language, Jesus suffered for us, so we don't have to suffer. Do you think it would improve your salvation to put you on the cross? Of course not. Do you think your righteousness would be better if you had a car wreck or lost your house through foreclosure? No, a thousand times no.
Everything that could possibly be done to make us who we are as righteous sons and daughters of God has been accomplished through Jesus Christ on the cross and at the resurrection.
You can whip yourself, break your leg and carry a wooden cross everywhere you go, and it won't improve your standing with the father.
However, that's another subject if you want to gain patience and improve your faith. James 1:2 has the boldness to inform us that we are to count it a joy when we encounter trials and all sorts of Temptations. I call this God's spiritual gymnasium, where we pump up our muscles.
This is the exercising of our faith which brings us to maturity of strength and spiritual insight that will position us to be wholly furnished unto all good works.

THESE ARE THE DAYS OF HAMAN'S GALLOWS
When the enemy prepares a trap for the righteous, the trap they prepared eventually becomes their own demise. One of the most important lessons you can learn in life is that if you walk upright and speak the truth in love, God will take your defense and defeat your enemy.
This is what makes unforgiveness and revenge so deadly to those who carry them in their soul. Even though they have moral and legal reasons for unforgiveness, if they try to bring about the destruction of their enemy, God will not fight their battles; when you do that, you are on your own.
The prominent ruler in the book of Esther, Hamon, had it in his mind to destroy the Jews and those who supported them. So he set about to sway the king and, in the process, built the gallows for the Jewish leader to die on.
If you know the story of Esther and her promotion to be the nation's queen, then you know that Hamon was hung on the gallows he built for someone else.
The principle of this story is that if we focus our attention on loving God and loving our neighbor even though we have deadly enemies all around us, God will defend us and bring us to victory.
David declares in the 91st psalm that even though 10,000 people would fall all around us, we would not be moved. Even with deadly arrows and death and destruction close at hand, God will fight our battles for us.
Look around you today at our national scene, and you will see various groups of people building gallows to hang God's people on. They have risen against Christ and his church, thinking they can once and for all get rid of us and stop our message.
Keep the faith, keep your focus on Jesus, and let your love be the fuel that powers your engine.
History will testify of the faithfulness of God to his children once again.

THE HOMECOMING MESSAGE
Home, just the mention of that name brings a piece to my heart and comfort to my soul. When we think of home the memories flood in of the good times around the Christmas table and the birthday parties of our early days.
No wonder the slogan" Home is where the heart is," is so popular.
When we begin to realize that our real home is not just heaven it is God our father himself. Many Christians when they talk going home they're referring to the streets of gold, the mansion on the hilltop and endless life.
I contend that the draw we have in our soul and spirit toward home is because we have been called back to the father through Jesus. The scriptures tell us in second Corinthians 5:19 that God himself was on the cross calling us home and giving us a favor where we were without favor.
Now there are no excuses or barriers between us and the one who created us; our heavenly father. Because of the cross and resurrection we now have the golden ticket to get in the gate and sit at the table with the captain of the ship and enjoy the journey.
Because of that our message is simple and direct to the point.
God is a happy God and he's looking for you to come home and when you do the party starts.

WE HAVE BEEN ADOPTED INTO GOD
Have you ever had a dream that you were walking down a dark street alone?
And every house that you look at is dark and lonely. In the dream, you keep walking, looking for someone that would take you in and give you a warm place to stay. Just the mention of that makes me sad.
The apostle Paul said that we were strangers and aliens cut off from the commonwealth of Israel, yet because of Jesus Christ, we became sons and daughters of God.
Ephesians 1:4 tells us that in his love, he chose us before the foundations of the world that we should be holy, set apart, and blameless in his sight far above approach.
Again in Galatians 4: 4, Paul speaks of the subject of adoption when he says,
"but when the proper time had fully come, God sent his son born of a woman born subject to the law to purchase the freedom of those who were subject to the law that we might be adopted and have Sonship conferred upon us be recognized as gods sons.
Let this truth sink into your spirit as you meditate upon these verses tonight.
The power of this truth will revolutionize your faith life and your emotional life.
Because we have been adopted into his family, he has given us all the rights and privileges of sons and daughters. We have total access to the father's treasure house and every other room in his grand heavenly palace.
He tells us that no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
That's you, and I adopted into the heart and family of God.

THE REASON WE STRETCH BEFORE WE CLIMB
THERE ONCE WAS A MAN WHO WAS CELEBRATING HIS ONE-HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY. He was the talk of the town, for no one around had ever reached that high plateau of age before. When interviewed by the local newspaper, he was asked the question. What is your secret?
He said, "well, sonny."
"Every morning, I get up at 5 AM and run 5 miles before breakfast.
Then I do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups, and that's before I go to the gym and work out with weights for the next two hours.
The young reporter was a gasp, how long have you been doing that, sir," he asked.
The old man answered, "well, sonny, I start tomorrow."
Somehow that story sounds very familiar to some of the promises I made in the early days of keeping me fit as a spirit. "I'll start tomorrow" could be the theme of many of us who plan to claim the heights of God's revelation and walk with the angels.
Somewhere along our journey, desire has to be mixed with action, and when it does, we reap the benefits of growth and maturity.
However, God is greater than our weakness, so He has provided a surefire way to get us to the other side of the lake. Even though the storm comes and we fear for our lives, he has already declared that we will go to the other side.
How does that work? He has provided a built-in program of exercise called trials and problems. This forces us to stretch our muscles, resulting in patience and long-suffering. At some point, according to James 1:3, patience will bring us to be perfectly and fully developed with no defects lacking in nothing.
This is why we stretch before we climb.
