Flotsam and Jetsam

“God is good!” I’ve been hearing people speak this phrase lately and it’s a good reminder to us. He always, always has a plan of goodness over our lives. This is a now and “good” prophetic word by John Belt. Let it sink in and minister to you that God’s best for you is yet to come.

Let’s thank Him for His goodness and have an expectation for it, for He IS Good!

ohn Belt:

Jesus only has good to give out to those who are His. Phillip asked Jesus, “Show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” He told Phillip, “When you have seen Me you have seen the Father.”

God is good. And it is only by having a revelation of His goodness and the good He intends for us that we can walk in the fullness of our destiny.

Believe the Good Report

The father of lies is sent out ahead of the pack to deceive and draw people into alignment with lies. Lies sound convincing many times until the pure truth is revealed.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.—Psalm 51:6

Many times lies are twisted stories that embellish the evil report to make things look worse than they actually are. The goal of the enemy has always been to make mountains out of molehills. Lies foster doubt and unbelief and negate the grace of God. Unbelief is connected to a life lived in religiosity.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.—Hebrews 10:38

Faith is embedded in a heart that’s eyes are completely locked into the words and Presence of God. The time old truth is that God allows opportunities for both the good report and bad report. The test is the response to these reports. God always has a good report. There is always hope on this side of Heaven. Why? God is still on the Throne. It is like the movie you see where things are taken down to the wire and defeat seems inevitable, then victory against impossible odds is realized.

The Better Story

The better story is when Jesus comes in on the heels of the accuser and reveals the grace of God for people, washing their slate clean, leaving no place of accusation for the accuser. Those who have come in alignment with the spirit of accusation are cast down in their own lives. We have an admonition to choose life, speaking life daily, coming into alignment with the heart of God.

And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”—Revelation 12:10

The grace of God qualifies us, not anything that we can do for ourselves. It is about what He has done and our continual abiding in Him with faithful dedication to His words. Our faithfulness to God is the hallmark of those He uses for His purposes. The potential for disqualifying is when a critical spirit, gossip and faultfinding are found. The pointing finger will put people in detention hall. Thankfully, because of God’s grace, He will not kick people out of school because we are all still learning. But the process of maturity, growth and promotion is delayed because of compromise to religious criticism.

An Expectation of Good

The best possible state of being is to have a heart of prayer filled with love, grace and the goodness of God. A positive expectation of good is pleasing to God. Believe that God will actually do something good. God is good. He is working His purposes in us to bring about His glory in the earth. He wants to break through the shell of our soulishness that keeps people from seeing His goodness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.—Psalm 84:11-12

Welcome the Holy Spirit, wear the garment of praise and engage spiritual eyes with Heaven’s glory. It is a gift to see the glory of God in the simple things of life. We should not be looking for God in what is grand and glorious in the eyes of man, the measures of the carnal mind, but rather in the basic things of life. We cannot afford to get caught up in the “big show” and “performance mindset.” Jesus can walk right in front of people who think like this and they won’t see Him. God will take on forms that will offend our natural mind as a test to see if we will lay down our natural thinking or previous forms we have recognized Him in—to see Him in the different way He will come.

Eyes That Can See

I recently had a vision where I was part of a large crowd and God was breaking out among the crowd without any man on the stage. But a lady got up on the stage and began to sing, “Little Jesus boy, I didn’t know it was You…” This is speaking of the form of the Lord that many did not recognize in the day when the Messiah came as a little baby, a child in a barn. In every generation God comes in a way that the natural mind cannot comprehend or recognize. God will come again in a form that many will be offended by, will not recognize, and many will realize later that it actually was the Lord and they missed it.

It is very important that we don’t compromise with the religious spirit. We don’t commune with that thing and compromise our spiritual lives to it. Our communion is with the Holy Spirit and those who have a corresponding hunger for Him. If we get to a point that we no longer recognize the Holy Spirit’s Presence but rather a religious form, we have lost our intimate connection with Him.

There will be another healing wave of God’s glory poured out very soon. We must have eyes to see and not allow the offenses of the past or boxed religious thinking to hinder our ability to see Jesus in the midst of it. Ask the Lord for eyes that see and recognize Him, as He will come in a form that many may not recognize or receive.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.—Matthew 13:16

For His Glory!

During dinner recently, I heard the voice of the Lord say in my spirit, “Who are they? They prophesy like prophets. They love the lost like evangelists. They heal like healers.” Then I heard the Lord say, “They are My sons and daughters.” One of the most important messages in this hour is the message of “sonship.” Before we can walk in the fullness of our destiny we must have the revelation of who we are and Whose we are. This last days outpouring is not for superstars, but for sons and daughters.

“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”—Joel 2:28

In prayer recently, I asked the Lord, “What does a manifest son of God look like?” I heard the Lord say, “Enoch.” I began to study the life of Enoch, and although there is not a lot about him in Scripture, there is enough to inspire us to be supernaturally natural. As Christians we shouldn’t separate who we are from what we do—we are children of God; everything we do in life should flow from this place. We are called the temple of the Holy Spirit; we are carriers of the glory of God.

On the Cross, Jesus’ last words were, “…It is finished” (John 19:30). In the Greek that phrase literally means paid in full. Paid in full was a term used in Christ’s day in the marketplace. The work of the Cross must be released into the marketplace instead of being limited to a good church service. Christianity was never intended to be an event but a lifestyle. As we peer into the life of Enoch with fresh eyes, we will understand more clearly our role in this life: to walk with God as His sons and daughters.

What it Means to Walk with God
and How to Do it

One of the few things noted about Enoch in Scripture is that he “…walked with God…” (Genesis 5:24). I believe Enoch’s greatest endeavor was to walk with the Most High. Fellowshipping with the Lord was His greatest passion. This is a great contrast and warning to many today. Success in the Kingdom is not how well known we are on earth. I heard Bill Johnson, Pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, California, once say, “We are to be known in Heaven and feared in hell.” Friendship with God—walking with God—is what matters at the end of the day. How well we know God should be the pursuit of every Believer. Our identity should never be found in what we do for a living, or even in what we do for God. Our identity must spring from our relationship with our Father.

“And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”—Genesis 5:24

The word walked in the Hebrew is halak, which means to walk up and down. The understanding is Enoch had numerous visitations into Heaven. We are in a season where the door of Revelation 4:1 has been opened and the invitation is still the same, “…Come up here.” This statement may be very controversial, but the Lord is raising up people that live in the reality that Heaven is their home now. There will be such a revelation of this that, like David, we will say, “I am a stranger in the earth…” (Psalm 119:19).

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”—Hebrews 11:13-16

My prayer has been that the Lord would allow me to peer into Heaven and have a glimpse of eternity—my real home. When the reality of eternity touches our hearts we won’t hold on to temporal things the way we do. God is raising up a company of people that possess the heart of Enoch. To walk with God in the supernatural, to fall so in love with Heaven that God says, “Since you are here so much, why don’t you just stay?” People that have a heavenly, eternal perspective behave and speak differently like the mystics of old; they stand out from the rest of society.

In the midst of busyness, the Scripture says to “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). I encourage you to learn to find stillness in any environment. As a traveling minister, I have found it necessary to treasure moments of silence, whether it be in a busy airport, or on a crowded plane. In the midst of noise I can find quiet in my heart. In doing this I’m not reaching out to a God that is somewhere off in the expanse, but to my Father and Friend who dwells in me. A genuine relationship with God inspires people around us; not with mere doctrine, but with passion—a real knowing of God.

“Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.”—Genesis 5:21

We see from this Scripture that Enoch had a child, so we can speculate that he had a wife. We read in Jude that he was a prophet (see verse 14). Enoch wasn’t hiding off in the caves somewhere. He had responsibilities as a father and a husband and yet he was able to find time to walk with his God. Enoch’s life is to be an example to us of a lifestyle of prayer and the supernatural, not merely listening to the Spirit in a Christian setting, but walking in the Spirit—in a continual attitude of prayer with one ear toward Heaven.

Isaiah 50 says that the Lord awakens our ears morning by morning. Continual communion with God is possible, and it’s desired by the Father. The most common excuse in North America is, “I don’t have time.” The thing that the Lord desires of us is our time! In Revelation 3:18 Jesus says to come buy from Him gold refined in the fire. It is interesting that Jesus says to buy from Him. The question then is, “What is the price of the gold?” A friend of mine asked the Lord this question. The Lord responded, “Your life, but I’ll take your time for now.” According to Matthew 6:6, it’s very important to go into a secret place to pray to have alone time with God.

Smith Wigglesworth is quoted as saying, “I don’t pray more than 15 minutes, but I don’t go more than 15 minutes without praying.” When the understanding of prayer becomes more about fellowshipping with our God—Father and Friend—it will no longer be our duty as Christians, but a privilege and the longing desire of our hearts. Modern technology is awesome, but it can be a great distraction from the simplicity of devotion to God.

We Must Be Willing to Allow the Holy Spirit to Set Us Apart

Lastly, Enoch means dedicated or consecrated. If we desire to walk with God like Enoch walked, we must be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to set us apart. I had a dream recently where a man I recognize as a prophetic voice said to me, “Do you want to know the keys to visitation?” He said, “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?” Immediately in my spirit I heard, “He who has clean hands and a pure heart.”

Then the man looked at me and said, “In quietness and stillness.” As we quiet ourselves before God and wait in His presence, His Holy Spirit will begin to release His very nature into our beings. Holiness is not a bad word. Holiness is to be like Christ. Holiness is not about what you do or don’t do—it’s not a set of rules. Out of our relationship with God we begin to learn what He loves and hates; then we choose because of love and do the things He loves.

As we learn to rest in the presence of God, His manifest glory will begin to remain upon us. The leaders in Jerusalem perceived that Peter and John were uneducated and untrained men, but marveled when they heard them speak—they knew they had been with Jesus (see Acts 4:13). When we spend time with Jesus, His presence stays with us. The angels love the presence of God, and if you are a carrier, they are surrounding you as well. People who walk with God change atmospheres wherever they go, at their mere presence. In the book of Acts it says people laid the sick out on mats so that Peter’s shadow could touch them, and they would be healed.

Charles Finney once walked into a factory and the workers fell to their knees crying out, “What must we do to be saved?” The reality of the presence and glory of God is being released to the Church. Our eyes are opening to see how the light of God’s glory dwelling in us affects the world around us.

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”—Colossians 1:27

What the Life of Enoch Teaches Us

Enoch is a type of a manifest or mature son of God. His life shows us that in the midst of having responsibilities (children or work) he was still able to walk with God in deep communion. God is calling us to walk with Him—to be supernaturally natural—having our heads in the Heavens and our feet on the earth, walking out His plans.

The life of Enoch teaches us many things: to find our success in being a friend of God, to live a life where the presence of God is cherished above any earthly treasure, and that Heaven is our home now. Know that when we walk with God, His desires become our desires and His likes become our likes. I’ve heard the invitation to come up here, and to that I say, “Yes, Lord!”

I know a lot of saints in the Body have been going through some tough times. If so, this word by Kathi Pelton will surely encourage you. Kathi shares the realities of her trials and how God CAN and WILL produce a good work through it all.

I like what Kathi shares here, “Our Father is looking upon His chosen ones with compassion for whatever the plight they have been facing. We are now receiving an act of divine favor because of the distress that we have been in…”

Be encouraged and blessed as you read this word.

In the early hours of the morning on September 20, I was awakened to the words of an old Vineyard song that I haven’t heard in many years: “Mercy is Falling” by David Ruis. As I heard these words being sung in my spirit, I began to experience the sense of a light mist upon my face. Then the mist turned into a light rain, which turned into a downpour of rain upon me.

I have to admit that in the midst of a very dry season spiritually, just the experience alone was like a refreshing rain over me. I’ve rarely experienced such a time of spiritual drought of hearing, seeing and experiencing as this one has been. I know for some, the exact opposite is true: you have been hearing, seeing and experiencing on a level never dreamed of before. But for others this past year it has been like walking through a parched land where even mirages would be welcome, yet not found. This is where I have been.

Just the day before this experience, I found myself alone, weeping from a place so deep within for God’s mercy to come and help me face another day…not a day of survival but a day of overcoming in the midst of this drought that I have been in. Almost anyone can survive, but I was longing to live in the truth of the unseen, not just survive the obvious.

A Sweet Spring Rain

There is not much a sweeter rain than the rain in the midst of springtime, when the blossoms are opening with new life, the grass is kissed with the dew of Heaven, and the air feels like it is pregnant with hope. Yet, on the eve of the first day of fall, the Holy Spirit is singing over us about a “sweet spring rain” that He is sending on those who have been in a drought. Let’s remember the words to David Ruis’ song:

Mercy is falling
Is falling – is falling
Mercy, it falls
Like the sweet spring rain
Mercy is falling
Is falling all over me
Hey-oh
I receive Your mercy
Hey-oh
I receive Your grace
Hey-oh
I will dance forevermore

Those who have been in this season of drought understand that these words are like words of “promised deliverance.” I have rarely felt so tested and tried, and honestly wondered all the while if I would be found lacking at the end of the day. Honestly, I am tired. When these words came, the dew of hope was like a drink of water in the midst of great thirst. But I don’t believe that these words are for me alone, but for all of those who have stood when they knew nothing more to do then stand. They are for the weary and weak, even those that needed assistance to stand in the midst of their circumstances.

I can’t even define this time as a wilderness, because that gives too much of a sense of shade and covering. This has been a desert—a hot, dry desert with no refuge in sight. If you have been in this place I would encourage you to take a moment to stop reading, lift your head toward the One Who sits on the Mercy Seat in Heaven, and allow the mist of these words to fall over you like a sweet spring rain. I cannot guarantee that today all of your circumstances will change, but I am believing that you will feel the dew of Heaven begin to rehydrate your body, soul and spirit.

Unmerited Favor

Even now begin to say to the Lord, “I receive Your mercy and Your grace!” Let’s look at the definition of the word mercy:

1: compassion or forbearance shown especially to an offender or to one subject to one’s power; also: lenient or compassionate treatment (begged for mercy); b: imprisonment rather than death imposed as penalty for first-degree murder.
2: a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion; b: a fortunate circumstance (it was a mercy they found her before she froze).
3: compassionate treatment of those in distress (works of mercy among the poor.)

The word “compassion” is found in each of these definitions. Our Father is looking upon His chosen ones with compassion for whatever the plight they have been facing. We are now receiving an act of divine favor because of the distress that we have been in. The amazing thing about compassion is that once you have been in need of it and then the recipient of it, you will be far quicker to give it away to another in distress.

A number of years ago a lot of people were doing what they were calling “Random acts of kindness.” It was as if the western world had found some new revelation of ways to encourage a friend or stranger, and yet this has been God’s way from the beginning. Although I would not categorize God’s kindness as “random,” I would say that He is always surprising us with acts of mercy, compassion and kindness to those who do not deserve it. I call this unmerited favor.

Do I deserve the mercy that God has said is falling upon me? No. Did I earn it by going through this season of drought? Well, there were days that I felt I deserved a bit of a break…but really, no, I did not earn it. It is merely the kindness and compassion of God to His children.

There have been times in raising our children that the Lord has instructed my husband and me to not intervene. There was a particular situation with one of our young adult children that was causing them pain and distress. As a mother, having to watch and wait for God’s release to help was agonizing. My compassion was always with them, my prayers, my tears and my love…but sometimes God would hold us back from actions that would release them from the pain that was forming Godly character within them.

Let me assure you, if you have been through a season of drought like I have been, God’s compassion, tears, intercession and love have not been absent from you, but His purposes were higher than the need for your relief.

You Will Dance Again

Psalm 6

O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath.

Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

My soul is in anguish.
How long, O LORD, how long?

Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
save me because of Your unfailing love.

No one remembers You when he is dead.
Who praises You from the grave?

I am worn out from groaning;
all night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.

Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the LORD has heard my weeping.

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
the LORD accepts my prayer.

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

You may be wondering, “Will I ever dance again?” The last line in the song says, “I will dance forevermore,” but it’s hard to dance when you can barely stand due to the weakness and thirst. I want to tell you right now, “You will dance again!” When you begin to feel the gentle rain upon your face, you will be dancing in the rain! I believe that this showering of mercy will bring renewed strength, renewed joy and renewed life that will set your feet to dancing.

This mercy is not because of anything you have done or not done—it is because of His love and compassion, and the completed work that He has done in you through this time. He began the work and it was up to Him to complete the work within you. When your enemy sees you dancing he will truly be ashamed and dismayed because he thought he had you defeated.

So, go put on your dancing shoes, look up and get ready for mercy to fall!

Praise be to the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.—Psalm 28:6

Getting Ready for the Rain…

“Radical” and “expectation” are two words that have invaded my spirit as of late. I just think the Church simply MUST begin to believe God for the impossible, even as Moses and Abraham did. They are my heroes. Far from perfect, yet they would say things like, “Far be it from YOU Lord to destroy the righteous with the wicked”; or “If You don’t go with us, we won’t go”; or (in a demanding way) “Now, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.”

I see few New Testament figures being demanding of God. Recently, I got dramatically healed when I got angry at God and reminded Him, “But You said…” The next morning I woke up healed.

I think surely we should end our prayers with, “Nevertheless, not my will but Yours.” But God LOVES it, I believe, when we get in His face and say, “YOU SAID…” I truly believe the Godhead loves that, yet, we tend to fear doing just that.

I prayed for healing for months until I finally got angry at God and got in His Face, as it were. I think we should all do more of that. We can “cover it” by ending with “Nevertheless, not my will but Yours, Lord!”—as long as we mean it.

I too believe that we are about to see things we never thought we’d see in our lifetimes. Let it be, Lord.

In this hour, in this day of awakening, a radical believing Church is emerging. I saw it…I was among them, and it is fantastic!

I was recently in a conference when, during the session I was in, somehow an invasion of praise came in the room. It was radical, more radical than I had heard in a long time! I knew at that moment and time we were on the verge of seeing something come alive. Yes, the giant that sleeps is awake!

I knew instantly in my spirit that a generation of militant praises were coming forth! I just knew it! You know when you just know it? Then I remembered the Scripture:

And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the Kingdom of Heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force (as a precious prize—a share in the heavenly Kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion).—Matthew 11:12 (Amplified Bible)

Yes, that praise was radical and violent. I felt the atmosphere in the room SHIFT. Shift happens, you know!

“I Saw Great Expectation”

Then I noticed something else. The faces of the people were shining, they were in GREAT Expectation! Yes, Great Expectation.

At one point I saw in the Spirit a radical angel over the top of the crowd. He was not a warrior, he was a praiser armed with the instruments of praise all around him. He was in full color of the Heavens; he was, in fact, dressed in colors yet to be released in the earth. “They will be released,” says the Lord.

I then recalled when I had seen in the past a garrison of angelic beings which had entered a meeting and surrounded the room. These angels were warriors of the nations dressed in their attire of origin. I then saw they all had notebooks; they were actually taking down dictation of the words being said, and they took them back to their nations to release what was being said in that meeting. During this current meeting, I saw the same thing start to happen.

I went back to my room after the session and realized I had been on the threshold of something invasive, intimate and persuasive. I had stepped into a realm of undefiled love and unbridled praise, and looked into the faces of unashamed souls.

GOD IS LOVE…—1 John 4:8

I was so wrapped up in that thought, that at this very moment it gives me sway—to the love of our fellow man and His enduring grace. O how He loves us to praise Him, O how He desires more praise, and O how awesome it is to be alive in this time!

Take it Back!

But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.—Malachi 4:2, 3

It is the greatest time for the Church to arise with healings in its wings. It is in the time of famine and discourse and trouble that praise is worthy to be noticed.

I saw those faces; I shall never forget the look of joy and expectation when they were praising Him with radical, unashamed praise, and that room was engulfed in GREAT POWER! The multitude of praise will ultimately enthrone our Lord (Psalm 22 below). Read these words and see where you are in them; and remember, it is praise that will shift the atmosphere, enthrone a King and give you opportunity to be in HIS Presence.

Have you lost your praise? Take it back! Have you noticed when praise enters you how awesome you feel? Take it back! How about this: Praise Him till you feel like praising HIM!

“The Church will Again Praise Me”

Here are a few verses from Psalm 22 that will encourage you, but please take the time to read all of Psalm 22 on your own…it will strengthen you in the Lord!

To the Chief Musician; set to (the tune of) Aijeleth Hashshahar (the hind of the morning dawn). A Psalm of David.

MY GOD, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You answer not; and by night I am not silent or find no rest.

But You are holy, O You Who dwell in (the holy place where) the praises of Israel (are offered). Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted (leaned on, relied on You, and were confident) and You delivered them. They cried to You and were delivered; they trusted in, leaned on, and confidently relied on You, and were not ashamed or confounded or disappointed.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is none to help. Many (foes like) bulls have surrounded me; strong bulls of Bashan have hedged me in. Against me they opened their mouths wide, like a ravening and roaring lion.

But be not far from me, O Lord; O my Help, hasten to aid me! Deliver my life from the sword, my dear life (my only one) from the power of the dog (the agent of execution).

Save me from the lion’s mouth; for You have answered me (kindly) from the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare Your name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise You. (Amplified Bible)

“The Church will again praise ME…BUT, like never before,” says the Lord. I know all of this, dear ones, is because of praise—radical praise. That a nation of Believers will change the world; yes, it will. I saw it in a small place—a desperate, hungry, willing place. I shall end with this Scripture, asking the Lord to make it a way of life:

I have surely built You a house of habitation, a settled place for You to dwell in forever.—1 Kings 8:13

Let’s Pray: O God, rend the heavens with our praise! Help us to praise the name of Jesus and to proclaim liberty with joy to captives everywhere, to praise with Holy Spirit the gift of life and abundance. Allow us, O Lord, to offer up the praise as the ultimate sacrifice of our unfailing love. O Lord, engulf us with instruments of praise and help us make ready a place for You to sit and abide among us. I cry to You, Lord…I shall praise You all the days of my life and dwell in the House of the Lord forever!

Take us in, O Lord,
