God's Plan to accomplish His vision
The above sounds like the beginning draft for a good teaching, but there is a missing element without which this is a person attempting to fulfill the Supernatural Vision God has given them with the plans and ideas of mankind. It might even be a good plan, but without the "Fire of God's Presence", it is a plan that will not produce the fruit God has desired!
Throughout the Bible Fire is seen as bringing Purity, representing the Glory of God, or the results of God's Presence.

Today we are often so busy 'doing the work of the ministry', that we fail to spend time in God's presence where the Fire of His presence can accomplish its work in making us like Him. What do I mean by this?

The following points will help us in our understanding.
1. When Moses came down from the mountain after spending 40 days in God's presence or Glory his face was aglow 'literally' with the Glow or Glory of God's presence.
2. In the New Testament, the word that is used when speaking about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, has within it the the imagery of a garment which is dipped in dye or the making pickle into a cucumber.
3. Although there are certain text that speak clearly to the baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire there are additional text which speak about additional fillings with the Holy Spirit. From these verses we can say that the more you are filled with His Spirit the More like Him you will become. The more we are in His presence the more we not only become like Him but the more we know His heart and His Mind and ways. This knowing the Heart of the father, the Mind of Christ and The Power of the Spirit. Comes as we learn of Him and obey what we see and know Him to do and be.
His Word plays a key role in this but we must be wise in using His Word as it can be a weapon of both life and death.
Prayer plays a important role as well. When we communicate both in communication with him and meditation of His Word and His Ways as evidenced there we build a relationship from which we can know His heart.
Worship, praise and adoration in word, in song and with instruments lift Him up and help us come into proper alignment with Him.

We could on on to speak of all of the Spiritual disciplines, but the point is we must have a relationship of our who being, Spirit, Soul (mind, will + emotion) and Body with Him. This relation must be on His terms as declared in His Word (the Bible).

Our relationship with Him must be one in which we begin to realize these two truth:
1. We are in the world but not of it.
2. in Him we live and move and have our being.

It seems that we want a relationship with God that is based on our preferences, but a review of the interactions of God with people in the Bible are varied in many ways. What is never varied is that He is a Supernatural being interacting with His creation.

So, let us seek Him, 'the author and finisher of our faith.'
So, let us make Him and not our labor for Him our number priority.
So, let us spend time in His presence as outlined above.
So, let it be known far and wide that we continue this relationship through out the day and not just in a devotional time or place.

In closing we can have an exciting relationship with Him every day all day without being so 'heavenly Minded that we are no Earthly Good."

The more we are in His presence the easier it is to hear His voice, know His ways and see His power displayed in the lives of people.

Then His plans and Visions for ministry that He gives us will have the Owners authority and Imprint!

Prayer Storm for Abba's Glory

This coming week on Wednesday March 11th we would like to have a concentrated time of Prayer for break through for our new ministry, Abba's Glory. We are asking people to join us in Prayer where they are at all over the world during a 12 hour Prayer Storm, beginning Wednesday a 12: 00 noon mountain time and finishing up at midnight that day. This is the time for break through, destroying the works of darkness and for raising up of the people of God to joyfully and boldly fulfill John 17:22. So that the Glory of the Most High God would sweep away the sleep and apathy from His people and the darkness from those who have not seen the light.

That there might be an open heaven and that God's people would be raised up to accomplish all that Jesus began to do and teach. "Let us put an end to God's people perishing for a lack of intimate knowledge of the most high and His ways." Please let me know if you will be available join us during this 12 hour prayer storm as we seek to Spring into the fullness of God's will!.

What is Abba's Glory and what is it's purpose? Abba's Glory is a ministry designed to fulfill John 17:22 22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: AMP Abba's Glory seeks to equip and provide resources for those believers who are desperate for more of God, who are passionate about being a part of all that Jesus began to do and teach, who will take up the mantle and towel of the King and fully Embrace His Kingdom!

We are in the process of developing (in Obedience to a prophetic Word God gave me over a one year ago.)A School of Supernatural Living ( Becoming all that Jesus desires(discipleship) ) and A School of Supernatural Ministry ( Doing all that Jesus began to do and Teach )(ministry Training for a new Day.)

5. Resources to accomplish all that God desires according to His Time table.
6. Alignment with those who have a common Vision and who desire to see a mighty army raised up in this generation.

"A Youth Extravaganza that will Rock the Nations
Revolutions rarely begin suddenly. Instead, they grow up over time as people become less and less satisfied with conditions as they are. One incident leads to another and tensions mount until finally one catalytic event becomes the flash point that propels them into action. The American Revolution did not occur overnight. Among other things, it arose because of a long series of actions by the British Parliament that many colonists felt were attacks on their civil liberties. Discontent and unrest grew until April 1775 when clashes between colonial militia and British regulars at Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts, became the flash point that sparked the colonies into open rebellion.

A spiritual revolution is underway in America, and it is already going global. The Holy Spirit is the instigator and He is doing a mighty work in the midst of God ’s people. Like any other revolution, the decay of the moral climate had been building up for some time.
Many people remember Stand in the Gap, the Promise Keepers-sponsored meeting on October 4, 1997, which brought hundreds of thousands of men from every denomination and walk of life together on the Mall in Washington, DC. Businessmen and bikers, engineers and architects, doctors and lawyers, students and teachers stood side by side for hours and worshiped, confessed, repented, and prayed together. It was a seminal event.
One year earlier, in November 1996, James (Jim) Goll had a dream that was prophetically related to these mass gatherings in the nation ’s capital.

I heard an audible voice which said, “Out of the belly of the Promise Keepers movement will come forth a youth extravaganza that will rock the nations. The stadiums will be filled. The stadiums will be filled as out of the belly of the Promise Keepers movement comes forth a youth extravaganza that will rock the nations. ”

I awoke from this dream to the awareness of the presence of God permeating the bedroom. Immediately I was catapulted into an open vision where I saw a massive outdoor football stadium filled with young people who were radically worshiping God. Beams of laser light crisscrossed the sky and came together to form a huge cross that was high and lifted up above the stadium. At the same time an enormous screen at one end of the stadium was displaying a graphic multimedia presentation of the crucifixion of Christ. As a hammer pounded nails through the wrists of Jesus, in the background I heard people singing “Didn't ’t He, ” an old song from the Jesus Movement of the 1970s, with the words, “And the hammer fell on the wooden nails …”
As all this was occuring, the spirit of conviction of sin began falling upon the young people, and they started crying out to the Lord for mercy and screaming, “What must I do to be saved? ” It was then that I heard aloud in the room once again the words, “Out of the belly of the Promise Keepers movement will come forth a youth extravaganza that will rock the nations. ”
At that time I had no idea at all that a year later the Promise Keepers would be holding Stand in the Gap in Washington, DC, or that in another three years hundreds of thousands of young people would gather at the same place for The Call DC.
Restoring the Hearts of the Fathers and the Children

The closing verses of the last book of the Old Testament contain a remarkable prophecy. After spending three chapters taking the Israelites to task for their public and private sins and for rebelling against God, Malachi ends with these encouraging words from the Lord:
Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse (Malachi 4:4-6).
First, the Lord charges the people to “remember the law of Moses ” as found in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, and as embodied specifically in the Ten Commandments, which they were violating. Then He promises to send “Elijah the prophet ” to usher in a period of restoration that will turn the hearts of the fathers and the children to each other and back to God. This transgenerational awakening will occur “before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord ” and will prevent the “curse ” of God ’s judgment from smiting the land or even reverse it if necessary.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke make it clear that John the Baptist was the historical fulfillment of God ’s promise in Malachi to “send …Elijah the prophet. ”4 John was also the prophetic forerunner who prepared the way for the coming of Christ. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus certainly turned the hearts of many fathers (and mothers) and children back to the heavenly Father and inaugurated an age of grace in which the judgment of God is averted to give everyone an opportunity to hear the gospel and repent.
However, the nature of biblical prophecy is such that in many instances there may be more than one fulfillment. In Malachi 4:5, for example, the phrase “the great and terrible day of the Lord ” is a common prophetic expression understood to refer not so much to Christ ’s first coming as to His second coming. In this context Malachi 4:5-6 can be seen as prophesying a spirit of Elijah that will arise in the endtimes, igniting a transgenerational awakening that will turn the hearts of the fathers and the children back to God and prepare the way for the triumphant return of Christ.

Already there are signs that this has begun to happen. Stand in the Gap was powerful and significant evidence that the Promise Keepers movement has an anointing of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and back to the Father. This anointing even now has moved beyond the borders of the United States and entered Europe and other lands. Many Christian leaders believe it will continue to progress across the globe as a forerunner ministry that is part of a latter-day fulfillment of Malachi ’s prophecy.
Then, “out of the belly of the Promise Keepers movement ” and sparked by Columbine, came
The Call DC, one of several indicators signifying the arising of a new generation of “children ” whose hearts are being turned back both to their earthly fathers and to their heavenly Father.

The Call DC was not a one-time event. It was a catalyst that opened a door to new beginnings. On September 22, 2001, The Call New England drew an estimated 50,000 believers to Boston ’s City Hall Plaza. For 12 hours participants fasted, repented for the sins of both the church and the nation, and prayed for revival, spiritual transformation, and ethnic, gender, and generational reconciliation in every area of society. This solemn assembly was especially urgent and timely in the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington just 11 days earlier.
Similar gatherings occurred in San Francisco, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City (June 29, 2002), Nash­ville (7/7/2007), Las Vegas (9/2007), Ohio (1/2008), Birmingham (4/2008), San Diego (11/2008)and other cities as well as international locations such as England (July 13, 2002), Germany, Korea (November 2002), the Philippines (No­vember 30, 2002) and in Israel (5/11/2008). This radical voice crying in the wilderness is going to spread like a prairie grass fire across the nations of the earth.

A revolution is underway today in a spiritual and moral environment that resembles in many respects that which existed in Israel when the original prophet Elijah made his mark. This is movement is not limited to The Call – but it has been a mighty force to get the ball rolling. Let the joining of the generations arise. Let prayer for the greatest youth awakening the world has ever seen mount in every nation of the earth.
Let us storm heaven with prayer until one billion youth have come into the Kingdom of God for such a time as this!

Manifesting Your Spirit by Graham Cooke

' We serve a God who fills all things with Himself. In every believer there is an internal Presence that provides spiritual momentum. We are designed to be carriers of Living Water. We are created in Christ to never be thirsty again. A well has been dug within each of us.

Warriors know about and have experienced Divine displacement. The removal of the old, and the establishing of a new nature, mindset, and spiritual reality. The God who makes all things new, works through the inner man in a powerful way. This internalized relationship is the bedrock of all our experience and interactions between earth and Heaven. Whatever we need will be manifested, (made real) in our spirit as we exercise faith and dependence upon the Lord.

In this three volume series The Way of the Warrior Graham Cooke explores what it means to manifest our spirit in the course of life. Power flows from the inside out! Warriors live within themselves, calm and untroubled by externals.

In the heat of battle, when faced with difficult circumstances, contending against impossible odds, warriors call up the majesty and supremacy of God that is already present in the Secret Place of their Spirit. They have a warrior's perception of the Reality of God in the midst of provocation, attack and opposition.

Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior

Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior
The Way of the Warrior Series Vol One
Graham Cooke

Brad at The Arsenal Books has just posted information on this new book by Graham Cooke. Below is material from The Arsenal site where you can order this book. If you want to grow up as a Christian and stop the enemy from pushing around this is a great place to start!http://arsenalbooks.com/product/Qualities_of_a_Spiritual_Warrior_Graham_Cooke/31/?r=octem

Warriors do not react to their circumstances, they respond to God. They see everything as an opportunity to learn, grow, advance and increase faith. They have taken their own internal territory.


They do not avoid tough situations; they are not looking for rescue. They are developing a revelation of God so profound, it governs every facet of their lives.


Warriors know that Jesus reigns and everything leads to majesty. That means that every situation is not theirs to win; but theirs to lose.


In this book Graham Cooke examines the qualities of people who fight from victory not towards it. He explores the attributes required for involvement with God at a high level of warfare. Warriors cannot be intimidated by the enemy, because they are too busy being fascinated by Jesus.


In this three volume series The Way of the Warrior, Graham Cooke explores what it means to be captivated by majesty. He is a passionate believer in the supremacy, sovereignty and glory of God in and through the body of Christ.

There is a place in the Spirit set aside for us where we make the enemy confused. We weary him by our rest. We discourage him by our faith. We demoralize him with our joy. We depress him by our endurance. He is dispirited by our favor; defeated by our grace. Warriors win by staying fresher, longer.

Endorsements
Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior is the most inviting book on the subject I've ever seen. It is refreshing to read a book on warfare where the author is not impressed with the devil. Graham instead restores us to our rightful place of being captivated with Jesus. His wonderful understanding of the ways of the Kingdom does more than just bring clarity, it empowers the believer to live with victory as the normal expression of following Christ.
Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, CA

Spiritual warriors who forcefully advance the kingdom by intentionally invading enemy territory attract the heat of principalities and powers and soon find themselves in hand to hand combat with these dark spirit beings. But the wisdom of the battlefield belongs to these warriors and even the principalities and powers stand in awe at the unveiling of the manifold wisdom of God. (Ephesians 3:10) Like Caleb, Graham's appetite for battle continues to grow and these pages reveal the wisdom that only comes through seasoned frontline spiritual warfare. As Solomon once said; "By wise counsel wage war." (Proverbs 20:18)
Phil Mason, Spiritual Director, New Earth Tribe

The Spirit and Truth Study Blog

I want to introduce those read this blog to another New Revolutionary.

"These New Revolutionaries are the ones who reject the spirit of religion and passionately embrace the truth and power of God's Word to change what is by into what God desires."

Jessica TenBrink is a worship leader with a heart after God who has the gifting and skill to lead a group of believers deep into the father’s presence and on into His heart!

Jessica has recently started ‘The Spirit and Truth Study Blog’, which is designed to take you through the entire Bible and study Biblical Worship. Jessica's introduction to her new blog is below along with a bio and photo. ‘

The Spirit and Truth Study Blog’, by Jessica TenBrink This blog chronicles my study of the Word to learn what it really means to worship in Spirit & Truth. John 4:23 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." My desire for The Spirit and Truth Study is to become one whom God can find faithfully worshiping Him. Join me in the study. Comment, and offer your insight so we can grow together. http://spiritandtruthstudy.blogspot.com/

Invitation
“I want to invite you all to visit me on my new blog and join me as I start an intense study in the Bible on worship. My new blog is focused solely on a brand new study that I am embarking on. I thought I would chronicle it in blog form for anyone who would like to pitch in with their insight or comments, or even questions. What fun! I have posted the backdrop to the study so far (what has led to the start of the study) and I hope to begin posting actual study material within the week. If you know anyone else who might be interested in reading as I study the Bible in the context of what kind of worship God requires, please let them know as well! You can subscribe to my blog on the left hand side of the homepage where it says "subscribe". Then you will get automatic updates after each post.”

Bio:
Jessica TenBrink is a graduate of Oral Roberts University, a wife to Karl, and a stay-at-home mother to Annalee (7) and Mattea (2). A pastor’s daughter two times over (both her mother and father pastor Crossfire, a Church Without Walls in Centennial, CO), she has a calling to minister to the local Body of Christ as worship leader. She served Crossfire as its first worship leader for two years beginning in 2005. She has a heart to see the Lord exalted within the corporate worship setting with passion, might, and abandon. Her desire is to counter the cultural norm in America that says, “I can worship God just fine with my hands in my pockets.” Her desire is to raise up Davids—people after God’s own heart, whom God seeks out as worshippers while they worship in Spirit and truth.” David was not only a worshiper; he was a warrior. Jessica’s vision is to raise up warriors for the Kingdom of God who accomplish extraordinary things in the very potent humility that true worship requires. Because the Lord dwells in the praises of His people, her vision is to encourage, mentor, and teach believers that God moves when we praise and worship His name! Jessica and Karl are raising their children and serving the Lord in Colorado Springs, Colorado. http://spiritandtruthstudy.blogspot.com/
