Get Ready or Miss It

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve blogged (I think). However, I just wanted to share some significant news with you.
Lately, the Holy Spirit has been impressing in my spirit to prepare for a move of God. Well, God is always moving, isn’t He? Not the way He desires to move in the Kingdom of God; Too many of us have hindered the Holy Spirit by placing so many limitations on our worship experience by limiting each service to block times so we can manage crowds and tape for television, flawlessly. Many of us rely upon someone’s podcast message, YouTube preachafication, or a downloaded song to give us a spiritual high rather than simply read the Bible and pray. As a nation we have co-signed taking prayer out of schools, killing millions of pre-born babies and denouncing our national allegiance to God as a country by doing nothing-or doing something-to keep those politicians in office whose records show that we are part of the departure from the faith. (Do we understand Kingdoms and nations in the eternal judgment?) We have allowed every wind and doctrine to justify sin in the pulpit leading sin in the pews. ”Nobody’s perfect”, “you’re too judgmental”, “I’m not where I wanna be, but thank God I’m not what I used to be”, “Where’s the love? Just pray,” has now replaced “Holiness without which no man shall see God”, “Be ye holy, for I am Holy”, and ”…The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him”. We have chosen to emphasize what protects us in straight up mess (yes, I’m going hard) and eliminate what ultimately keeps us accountable. In today’s church, we want to number Israel with a class of same-sex marriage proponents, part-time Baal worshippers, unrepentant sinners, BFF Amalekites, led by a lying prophet and expect God to accept our sacrifices and bless us because we keep the holy feasts, sacrifices and offerings. We try to tell the same God who changes not–the God of yesterday, today and forever–that His love and grace covers our sin. It does. But, grace does not cover as a blanket to store and preserve sin: God’s grace is abundant to pardon our sin because Christ gave his soul as an offering (Isaiah 53) so that we would be FREE from sin.
When the priest read the law in the midst of the congregation, the people were restored and worshipped Jehovah. God was glorified. God is readying a people who are willing to put down our own agendas and go with the move. There is going to be breakout FIRE and revival in regions where ministries are going to have to shut their doors and encourage their “members” (as if God’s people belong to other people-that’s another blog) to become part of the move of God. People from every nation will be showered with God’s anointing, experience His power, and see signs, wonders and miracles. God’s creation will stand as one in this move. The ordained minister, new believer, Rich, poor, Black, White, Episcopalian, Baptist, Republican, and Democrat will all stand as one as we are knitted and bonded together. The “doc” code of conduct is going to have to be dismantled because it will not prohibit this move: ”If you don’t have Sunday morning service, how are you going to keep up the ministry without the biggest offering of the week?” Cameras are going to have to be turned off; Stifling the demonstration of the Holy Spirit is going to have to cease so that people can see the power of God work miracles. Order is going to have to change in the homes so that the flow of God can operate in each house. Kids being cute while being rude and disrespectful is going to cease because the impartation is going to hit the house and parents are going to PARENT. God is visiting people and as we say, “raising them up”. They will obey the voice of God and give God what He asks for. All of this connect with my vision and be loyal to my camp nonsense is going to disqualify proponents of their own Kingdom and keep them on the outside of this move in God’s Kingdom.
I encourage each and every one who visits this blog to prepare yourself for supporting and being a part of the move of God. The law of God now reigns in our hearts because Christ-who came to fulfill the law-reigns in our heart as Lord of all. God is getting the glory! If the move is not at your Bishop’s church and part of your fellowship, prepare to decide if you want to tell God that you will only receive Him through your appointed leader, or receive Him as He makes Himself available to refresh, restore and revive His people. Remember, your leader has a leader. When the Big Boss comes to town, we ought to want to hear what He has to say and be in His presence. This move is going to require UNITY and ONENESS is the Body of Christ. Big whig I’m the biggest chip off of the block servants need to be prepared to release those with the anointing for this service; Leaders, begin to tell yourself, “It doesn’t have to be me, but if it is, I will obey God. I will not be in the way of God’s move. I just want to be a part of it.”

When Mama’s Get Online
Posted: January 18, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment »Ok, yall. My mother is following the blog as an email follower! Jesus is soon to come.
Be ye also ready.
This deserved a post all to itself.
All kidding aside, my mother is a praying mother who I remember kneeling at the side of her bed, almost every day. God used my parents to help frame the minister of the gospel that I am, so I must say thanks to my mother who has always supported the ministry.

The Days of Elijah!
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: INTERCESSORY PRAYER, Prophecy, ROLWIM, Uncategorized | Tags: Christians, CHURCH, Inspiration, personal, prophecy, PROPHETESS KIM, Religion, The Days of Elijah 1 Comment »(Click on the prayer page for the updated prayer call and callback information. We’d love for you to join us in prayer.)
For going on six years now, our intercessory team prays each Saturday morning. During the months of January and February, we open up the call to hear from God’s prophets. We want to know what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Church and to the World. Prophet Dion Nesmith joined us on January 7, 2012 to speak about the Days of Elijah.
The Prophet began teaching from 1 Kings 17. The voice of Elijah is still present today. To understand the voice of Elijah, we would have to understand his prophetic ministry. Elijah’s lineage is figurative of the prophetic lineage today. He appeared to have come from out of nowhere. So it is, today, with prophetic voices that God is raising up, from seemingly out of nowhere. The authentic prophetic voice does not have to be connected with some great known ministry. Through Jesus, we all qualify for this assignment.
Elijah’s ministry was one of confrontation. We must not be afraid to confront Jezebel and Ahab; Jezebel is the spirit of unfaithfulness. She is designed to cause the Kingdom to be unfaithful to God. Elijah was raised up to be faithful to God, an we likewise, must be faithful to God and pull down demonic strongholds. The mantle of Elijah was one that called him to confront false worship. True prophetic voices in these days must confront false worship. We must not be afraid to identify and cast down the false altars offered unto idol Gods.
Elijah had such faith and power that when he asked a thing, God did it. The true prophetic licensee can stand is his own authority and watch his word, come to pass. Why? Because the real prophet will speak the Word of the Lord. The Word cannot fall or fail and it will always accomplish what it has been sent to do.
Not only are we called to live and preach the message of the gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, but also like Elijah, have been called to revive the body. The body of Christ needs revival: to respond to a Godly hearing. One one truly “hears”, one will respond. Revival causes us to do and live because we have heard God.
In this hour, many are deceived as to what is good and God because they must sift through the false values intertwined in celebrachurch ways-the Bentley and phat money changing between “docs” as symbols of prosperity; huge numbers of parishoners as a great following; and so much anointing and preeminence that leaders cannot commingle with the people. These things are not reflective of what a true servant of God will often experience. Elijah was fed by the raven-the filthiest bird- in order to survive a famine, where false prophets were full eating at Jezebel’s table. There may be times in the lives of true servants where they will have to depend upon God for their own personal existence, yet be the very ones that have been prepared, called, chosen, ordained and anointed with a Word for the Nations. People may wonder how come this one has so much to say about the Kingdom and is doing such great feats in the Kingdom, but there is NO BENTLEY, MINI-MANSION OR MEGA CHURCH. Yet, Elijah was so in tune with God that he was translated-never experienced a mortal death.
Elijah was prophetic leadership that trained prophetic successorship: Elisha. The established order today, will continue to do like the school of the prophets in Elijah/Elisha’s day. They will think they have a lock-down on the prophetic, while God will continue to raise up sons who will simply obey Him. The church is operating under this same pattern, with the religious order waiting for the chosen to jump through hoops and ladders to stand and prophesy with them (do it our way, or no way) on the outside of the real move of God, while those who will obey God are demonstrating the power of God and tearing down the works of outer darkness.
Finally, we must not overlook the flaws of Elijah’s ministry. No one’s faithfulness or allegiance to God is isolated, no matter how much degradation we see in the world around us. While Elijah thought he was the only one who wouldn’t compromise, God had to remind him that his pride blinded his vision. There was an entire body of true prophets who did not bow and eat at Jezebel’s table. True servants cannot get caught up into their own relationship with God and believe that because it is powerful and even notable by others that it is primary and makes us greater.

Learn to be Comfortable with the Uncomfortable
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: EVANGELISM, FAITH, HIV/AIDS, ROLWIM, Uncategorized | Tags: CHURCH, Coaching, Inspiration, mental health, personal, Prophetess KIM SMITH, Religion, ROLWIM, spirituality 1 Comment »Years ago, as a matter of fact it was in the mid-1990′s, I cut my hair into a fierce asymmetrical short bob. That was a huge step for me. I’d always maintained at least shoulder length hair. Long hair was my comfort zone. Most people liked the “new” look and I was quite satisfied. However, within a few months I learned that I really preferred long hair because it is easier to maintain. So I decided to let my hair grow back.
When my hair started to grow back, it got to an “in between” stage. It wasn’t quite shoulder length again, and it was longer than the nape-lined bob. I didn’t have a clue what to do with the hair at that stage. Many suggested cutting it again. I realized a critical life lesson at that hair-stage: If I did not go through the ugly phase, the hair would never grow back. I had a decision to make. Either endure three to six months of this funny stage, or stay with the short cut. That was not even a decision in my opinion. Cute hats and more work to keep the hair curled would have to carry me through the awkward stage. I had to become comfortable with the uncomfortable; but, only for a season.
Too many times we go through experiences in life and allow our emotions and feelings to dictate what we will and will not do; what we can and cannot handle; what is right or wrong. If a ship is going to sink and we must jump to safety, if we are paralyzed with fear, then we won’t be able to jump. We won’t be able to even try to save ourselves and live because we are used to living in our comfort zone and anything else-even when it may save our lives-makes us uneasy.
It’s an uncomfortable feeling to tell someone who you love, that we won’t be available for further manipulation. Be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
It’s uncomfortable to punish our teenagers for breaking the rules, once again. If children don’t learn that life has real penalties within the safety of their parent’s home, then they will learn it elsewhere, where we may not be able to live with their penalties. Be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
It’s uncomfortable adjusting to a new exercise routine and weight loss plan. If our health is at risk, this phase of discomfort is essential to avoid high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases or conditions. Be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
It’s uncomfortable learning that we have AIDS or HIV and decide that our best resolve is daily medication to which our bodies must adjust. Be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
Our car may break down at the side of a busy highway on a freezing day while we have five hungry adolescents in the car. Our attitude and temperance will dictate the children’s feelings of safety while waiting for assistance. Be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
We don’t want to speak up about a major problem because no one else is and we just don’t like confrontation. Learn to be comfortable, being uncomfortable.
Most times, the in-between is just that: only a phase that is necessary to connect us with the other side, or end of a matter. If Jesus did not grapple His emotions and face the necessary to get the job done, I know where I’d be: on my way to an eternally damned end. Isaiah said that it pleased the Lord to bruise Him. Why? Because God saw the results of what Christ’s necessary suffering would bring to humanity. God saw you and I with the ability to be in covenant with our Creator because of Christ. So God was quite comfortable with appointing and seeing Christ with the utmost discomfitting situation, so that we would have life. I imagine Paul was comfortable enough while he was in bounds in prison to keep on producing and giving us the epistles. His literal discomforts did not bind him to self-pity and inaction. John was isolated in Patmos and he was comfortable with being discomfited to be able to give us the revelations which speak of eschatology. He still focused enough to record what had been revealed.
Everything in life isn’t roses or peachy keen. And, everyone isn’t “strong” like so and so. Well, here’s the great news: In our weakest state, God’s strength in us is made perfect. Learning how to be comfortable means we are going to have to let go of our emotions and trust God so that we can be comfortable until the seas stop raging or we are rescued from the pit. Some things in life must be confronted, or silently walked away from. Some things must be endured with its unpleasantries so that we can get to the other side.
Many people ask me how I can enjoy going into countries where the US issues travel warnings and going into the villages and remaining among the people. I know that the trips are not forever. For the time that I must be where I am, I am quite comfortable being uncomfortable. A cold shower is comfortable when weighed against a hot shower without the benefits of reaching the people who do not have heated water in their villages. Having to look over our shoulders 24 hours a day with security is uncomfortable. But, I am quite comfortable with whatever is necessary to advance the Kingdom of God. And here’s the real consideration: How can I not be comfortable by being with and among people who live as they live, when they have been ordained by God to co-labor in what God has sent us to do? Even if God were to lengthen the assignments, the grace of God is present to cover me to continue to be comfortable. I absolutely love connecting with God’s creation and ministry does not demand “my standards” to be comfortable. Now is a good time to begin to frame your mind to be comfortable, with being uncomfortable. You can do it, and most significantly, if this is you, you need to so that you will triumph before you get to the other side. NOW, get there!
Selah.
