Lay Down Our Pearls

Lay Down Our Pearls

Clara Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com


First and foremost, we must be assured that our Heavenly Father is good and loving. He definitely wants to give us good and perfect gifts. He wants to answer our prayers so that our joy can be full. He wants His children to be cheerful. This is the foundational truth.

Nevertheless, before the manifestations of our prayer requests, there are some works that need to be done with our hearts. Our Lord God wants to circumcise our hearts, so that we will love Him with all our hearts, and with our soul. (Deuteronomy 30) In Exodus 20:3, God said you shall have no other gods before ME. Right now, God is cleansing us from the idols of our hearts. Our hearts must desire Jesus first. Our hearts should worship Jesus, not the gifts. The heart of the gospel: We shall love our Lord with ALL our hearts, with ALL our minds, with ALL our strengths and with ALL our souls. Honestly, most of time, we worship the blessings/gifts more than Jesus Himself. However, nothing can replace Jesus on the throne of our hearts.

Yes, He is testing our hearts. For His sake, are you willing to LET GO OF the very treasures of your hearts? Yes, you have prayed for this for a long time. But for His very sake, are you willing to lay it down on the altar just like Abraham laid down Isaac? Christ wants to be the center of your life. He wants total commitment. He wants real disciples---those who desire Him first and seek Him first. Do you know when the test is over, He will give you back hundred-fold return? When He sees that you fear Him wholeheartedly, He will send angels to bring gifts at your door?

What is the sign that the test of our hearts is over? How can we know the work of circumcision is completed in our hearts? It is when we finally come to the point in which we no longer CONCERN about it. It does not matter any more. We count everything as rubbish, so we can gain Christ.

~~ For instance, some hunger for acceptance/recognition/reputation or titles. When the work of circumcision is completed, you will not even care about fame any more. Then, suddenly, you are brought to Pharaoh and you found yourself clothed with royal robes, sitting on the throne.

~~ How about those who are praying for a spouse? When you come to a point that you are able to rejoice even if you are single. Then immediately, you run into your second-half right at the corner---the one who is predestined for you.

~~ How about those who believe for prosperity? When you finally grasp the meaning of contentment and can delight in simple lifestyle. You no longer feel shameful in areas where you lack. Then instantly, you found yourself living in a big house and driving Mercedes Benz.

When we really delight ourselves in the Lord, He will finally gives us the desire of our hearts. THAT MEANS THE VERY GIFT WE WANT NO LONGER HAS A HOLD ON US.

Not only that, you have no guarantee of what will happen tomorrow. Of course, we believe we have a future and a hope and only good things will come to us. But, what if one day you lose something, you WILL NOT FALL APART because your foundation is on Jesus. You worship Jesus alone, not any gifts, nor any possessions, nor any human beings. God has laid the foundation in you and you are solid like a rock. No wind or rain can shake you. Your true SECURITY is in Christ alone. You have unshakable peace and joy no matter what comes to your way.

Therefore, be thankful now! Rejoice even if you are still in the wilderness, waiting to see the land of Canaan. Sing a new song to God even if you do not feel like it. As a matter of fact, God responds to thankfulness. Count each blessing we already have right now. Just because we have a breath of life is enough reason to be filled with gratitude.

On the other hand, we must be aware of the enemy of our souls. Bitterness and self-pity are the most common weapon the enemy loves to use to steal our promises. In John 5:7, Jesus waited until the 38th year to heal this man, who had a spirit of infirmity at the pool of Bethesda.This man was trapped in his bitterness. He thought life was unfair and he thought he could not get healed because God made him crippled, which was why he missed his chance of healing when the angel stirred the water. Brothers and Sisters, God did not do anything wrong. If Jesus did not stop by, that man would always be that way. A curse without cause shall not alight. (Proverbs 26:2) There is a reason for every problem, but God is never the problem. Also, God did not owe us anything. It is not a time to complain or feeling sorry for us. It is time to count everything we already have and be thankful. Everyday, we need His mercy and grace. Instead, we ought to say if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. After all, we are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away! (James 4:14) We should say Son of David, have mercy on me!!

Brothers and Sisters, when He sees our humble and contrite hearts, shall He not drop a tear of mercy and grant us our requests? Shall He not reward us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask, think, imagine or dream of? Shall He not restore to you the very pearl that you laid on the altar, just like Isaac was returned back to Abraham?

The Revelation of Perfect Faith

The Revelation of Perfect Faith

Clara Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Not many have the revelation of perfect faith. Perfect faith is God kind of faith. It is mountain-moving faith. If you have perfect faith, your prayer will be answered instantly. Not many can move mountains. Only those who grasp the revelation of perfect faith.

All these time, God is doing a WORK in you. He is removing all the doubt and unbelief and He is filling those areas with perfect faith. You thought you have faith and you thought you are praying with faith. Actually, you are praying with little faith or imperfect faith. You can scream or yell and act like you are full of faith. But, God is omniscient and He can tell whether you received the revelation of perfect faith yet or not.

The symptoms of imperfect faith are as follows. Sometimes you feel sad or self-pity or think that God does not love you. Or you think you are not worthy for a miracle. Or you do not think good things can come to you. Or one moment you are standing on the promise, another moment you are double-minded and start to doubt God and second-guess yourself. Or you are inconsistent---One moment you decide to trust God wholeheartedly and another second you give up and never accomplish your goal.

The signs of perfect faith are as follows. Your mind is full of hope and your heart swells with joy, REGARDLESS OF THE MANIFECTATION OF THE PROMISE. Even if you pray today and nothing happens, you will not doubt the very promise God has given you. You will act like God love you and He is for you. You will act like you are precious and worthy of good things coming to you. You will not get jealous when someone have something you do not have yet. Because you trust in your God with all your heart. This kind of faith is well pleasing unto God. If you walk in this kind of perfect faith, any minute your promise will come to pass. In any second, that mountain will explode out of your way.

The Bible said we walk by faith, NOT BY SIGNT. Holy Spirit is doing this work in us in which we will no longer be bothered by what you see, hear or feel temporarily. Someone can say something negative to you and you will remain solid, stable, and unshakable. You stand on the promise and know deeply in your spirit, in any second the promise will manifest. When you walk in this realm which transcends physical limitation, ALL THINGS BECOME POSSIBLE. That is why Sarah could conceive at the age of 90. When the natural cannot do it, God can do the supernatural.

The Bible said very clearly without faith, we cannot please God. I do not deny the cases in which miracles happen out of God’s sovereign will, regardless of the level of faith you have. But we must admit the fact that God DOES respond to perfect faith. Jesus could not do many miracles because of their unbelief. Jesus one time shut the door from people of unbelief and only allowed his beloved disciples to stay in the room, so the room was filled with faith only, before he performed any miracles. The lady’s touch was a touch of perfect faith and instantly power came from Jesus body and healed her bleeding condition.

Every one of us received certain promises of God. Some people received their promises earlier. Why? They had the revelation of perfect faith and they MIXED THEIR PROMISES WITH FAITH. Of course, God may allow a waiting process. Despite the waiting process, some still receive the promises faster than others do, because they mix their promises with faith. Their hearts and minds are perfectly stable and their eyes fix on the promises with undivided attention. God is well pleased and the promises must come to pass. That is the principle throughout the whole bible—of how faith unlocks the promises of God. Enoch could walk in such perfect faith and pleased God to such an extent that God had to take him away without tasting death. We all have the same nature like Elijah. If the patriarchs could please God like that, we can also be one of those faith giants in the hall of faith.

Let us pray for the Spirit of revelation to open our hearts and understand the revelation of PERFECT FAITH.

Sound Emotion

Sound Emotion

Clara Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Women, God loves you. You are very unique and special. You are fearfully wonderfully made, marvelous is God’s work. Women are tender in nature. You are sensitive to people and are understanding. On the contrary, men are more logical and analytic. Most importantly, men and women complement each other. Men need women’s tender side while women need to be balanced with men’s rational side.

According to I Tim2:13 Adam was formed first, then Eve. Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
Emotion is the good side of women. This emotion is created by God and it is supposed to be very constructive. When women are filled with godly emotion, see how the body of Christ will be touched. Sometimes when the presence of God is strong, Holy Spirit will touch us with holy weeping. Or when a woman sees a person in need, she may release tears of compassion. That is holy and godly. Because of that holy weeping, people will sense healing touch. This is very constructive and meaningful.

But there is another kind of crying. That is negative and destructive. This kind of sorrow will produce death. That is self-pity crying. Because of this emotional side of women, the serpent tends to attack them with lies of self-pity or unworthiness. This emotional side of women is very vulnerable area. It may not be weakness. But the devil takes advantage and attacks this area all the time. Once you give in to the first temptation of poor me mindset, other self-destructive emotions will all creep in. Feelings of self-hatred, depression, hopeless etc…..The list will go on and on….until you are saturated with unbelief. Once the stronghold of unbelief is built in you, you will wonder why your prayers are not answered!!

According to 2 Cor 7:10, godly sorrow leads to repentance while sorrow of the world produces death. Holy Spirit lives inside of us. If we will humble ourselves and allow the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, we will perfect our emotion in holiness and the fear of God. (2 Cor 7:1) If we will focus our mind on the simplicity of Christ, our emotion will be chaste like virgin to Christ. (2 Cor 11:1-3) All our pessimism had been crucified with Christ, it’s no longer I who live, but Christ’ emotion dwells in me. (Gal 2:20) We are able to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit---self-control. We don’t need to be the victim of self-pity crying. God has given you a way of escape. He is faithful and you are able to walk in redeemed emotion, which is the godly emotion of faith, hope, love, peace and joy. (1 Cor 10:13)

Women, God is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (2 Cor 4:17) God is turning our corrupt emotion into holy emotion of Himself. God wants our emotion to speak for Him. Christ wants our emotion to shine for the lost. If we are crying bitterly like everyone else in the world, who will have HOPE? He wants us to be lighthouse in the midst of storm and darkness. He wants us to move in holy laughter when everyone is sad and sorrowful. He wants us to flow in compassion and mercy when people in the world are mean and selfish. Women, by the blood of Jesus, we become redeemed Eve---a vessel of compassion and mercy. Even our countenance speaks for God. When they look at our face, they start to understand the feminine side of God, which is full of love, compassion and mercy. After all, women, you are made in the image and likeness of El Shaddai---the affectionate One who nourish us. Our mind, our face, our emotion, even our body gestures are reflecting the likeness of God. As we continue in faith, love, holiness with self-control, we will enjoy the holy emotions God deposited in us. We will enjoy the transformation of the Holy Spirit and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit!

The dynasty of Abraham and Sarah

The dynasty of Abraham and Sarah

Clara Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Some of you are chosen by God to start a new dynasty, just like Abraham and Sarah. The whole Jewish nation began with Abraham and Sarah. In Matthew 1:2,16, Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah…….from the tribe of Judah came Jesus who was called Christ. Because of the obedience of Abraham and Sarah, our Savior was able to come to this earth.

Abraham and Sarah did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief (Romans 4:21). They rested their faith on the promise of God, on the vision of those numerous stars and sand on the seashore. So from one man who was as good as dead, came the whole Jewish nation. He became the founding patriarch of the Israelites.

Some of you have this spirit of pioneer, which is the spirit of the apostolic, to adventure, and to break ground. You are chosen to create history. Kings and queens will come forth from your bloodline. That’s why your life is so unique. You found yourself different from your peers. You always look to a better country and a better city. Then one day, God called you out and you left your parents and your hometown. You even became foreigner for a long time. Deep inside your heart you knew this promise---a better promise, a better hope and a better covenant. Yes, you were like Columbus, who discovered the New World. You knew great nations will come forth from you just because of your act of faith, adventure and obedience.

Therefore, you should never compare yourself with anyone else. You are special. You have no idea how great you are! You have no idea how great your descendants will become! So, don’t lose heart! Meditate on the vision. Touch the promise. Feel the vision. Handle the vision. If you can see the vision with your eyes of faith, they will become yours. God is not a man who can lie. His promise is yes and amen. Say yes to the vision. Say amen to it. The vision will speak! The appointed time is coming. (Hab 2:3) How can it tarry any longer? How can Father close His heart of mercy towards you? How much more will our Father who is in heaven gives good gifts to those who ask Him? After all, it’s His vision! It cannot go to the ground and return to Him void. His words must come to pass and accomplish what please Him. (Isa 55:11) Is there anything too hard for Him? (Jer 32:27)

In the meantime, how can we honor God? BELIEVE in the vision as if it had already manifested in the physical realm! We don’t need to touch Jesus’ scar in order to believe He was already resurrected. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.( Jn 20:27) Yes, He is teaching us FAITH. Touch the unseen! Handle the promise. Start to say thank you God. Thank you for the vision. Saying thank you is a sign of FAITH. As you say thank you to God, you shall receive it. When God said, let there be light, instantly there is light. God just need to call your vision out, instantly your vision manifests. Waiting can be long. But when Kairo moment comes, heart desires will suddenly come to pass and it’s tree of life. And it’s happy ever after!!

Let’s look to the faith of Abraham and Sarah! Let’s learn from them and we shall see the reward of being pioneers. We shall see the reward of all these waiting. Your waiting is not in vain! You shall marvel at this great purpose He brought forth from you. Amen.

Possess Your Promises

Possess Your Promises

Clara Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We are all in a journey to our promises. It’s like we are on this train—a long train. Some get off earlier. Some get off later. Some are closer to the promises. Some still have certain faith lessons to learn. No matter what, we must possess our promises. Through faith and patience, we must inherit our promises.

We have a measure of faith in our hearts. According to your faith, so shall you receive. Your faith may be small as a mustard seed. That’s enough to cast out mountains. That means we can all cast out our mountains. How come some still lose their victory easily?

Because the devil will surely attack your MIND. Your mind is the battlefield. You cannot allow DOUBT to creep into your mind. The devil just needs to suggest one doubtful thought. Once you receive it into your mind, you start to doubt your promises. The promises may be your healing, prosperity or any good gifts from God. So this doubt will soon develop into a stronghold and you will eventually be filled with unbelief.

We must GUARD our mind day and night. If you want to please God, you must keep your mind on the promises of God. You must fill your mind with hope. Hope is the anchor of our souls. Hope is a helmet of salvation. Put the helmet on everyday. Protect your brain. Protect your head from doubt.

James 1:1 says very clearly, those who doubt are like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind, for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. You do want to receive something from the Lord. You are desperate, right? Then keep your mind simple. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Simple means composed of only one thing. Double-minded is a sin. Our mind must be single-minded. We must focus on our promises until we possess them. We must see our enemy flees from us.

Enoch pleased God because he has faith. (Hebrews 11:5) But we must keep our faith, develop this faith and grow in faith. Command our mind to subject to the mind of Christ. When we keep doing this, we will please God. He only rewards those who diligently seek Him. He only rewards those who obey faith. We cannot listen to feelings. We cannot yield to hopeless feelings. We cannot allow negative feeling such as self-pity, sadness or depression to creep in. These are self-defeating feeling. We cannot permit self-destructive thoughts.

We have gone this far. Next station, the train will drop you off and that is your destiny. Desire fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12) You are almost there. Don’t give up. Be sober. Be self-controlled in your mind. The just shall live by faith. Walk by faith, not by sight. Walk by faith, not by feeling. Remember the very hope God put into your mind and heart in the very beginning. That is the evidence and the substance of your faith. (Hebrews 11:1) Keep it FIRM till the end. It will be richly rewarded. Keep that hope. Keep that faith. My Beloved, let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.(Hebrews 10:23) Jesus told us very clearly in Mark 11:22, whoever SAYS to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and DOES NOT DOUBT IN YOUR HEART, but believes that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS. My beloved, whatever you SAY shall be done. Whatever you SAY in prayer shall be done. DO NOT DOUBT! AGAIN, I SAY DO NOT DOUBT.

We are to fellowship with other believers, yes be faithful in the fellowship of believers, hear and apply the Word that the servants of the Lord teach and preach. We fellowship and hear the Word by the blood of Christ, by truth, by faith, by grace, and by love, and this is simplicity. –(Eph. 1:6-7, Heb. 10:19-25, Rom. 15:7)

We are to enter into rest, we are to live for Christ in rest, we are to obey Christ in rest, we are to apply the Word in rest, and throughout our life we are to live in His rest. Rest through faith and trust this is simplicity. –(Heb. 3:19, 4:10)

Father we pray for a pure river of the simplicity of Christ to flow throughout the Body of Christ around the world, to flow through all the hearts of the believers, bring freedom, bring grace, bring truth, bring faith, bring the Spirit, and bring love to all believers in Christ. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ amen. –(2 Cor. 11:2-3)

First forgive them, bless them, pray for the Lord to stop them, pray for them to come to know the Lord, ask the Lord to sent His angels to stop them and take out the demons behind them, and break those witchcraft curses, and bind the demons that come with them, cast them both into hell. Apply the blood of Christ over your life, believe in the power of the blood of Christ, and believe in God’s divine protection. –(Rev. 12:11)

Christian curses are Christians misled by speaking evil over an another brother, praying evil or bad things over a Christian, or even spiritual leaders praying evil things. Forgive them, pray for them, bless then, break their curses, break their prayers off you, apply the blood of Christ, asks the Lord to grant them repentance, and take out the demons behind them. –(Gal. 5:15)

Unbelief curses are when you believe things about your self, then apply them, and speak them over your life, it is like you made your own doctrine statement of unbelief curses over your life. Repent, break them off, believe the truth, have faith in God’s Word, and ask for restoration, and pray for blessings. –(Prov. 18:21)

Partaking of curses happens when you are a part of a group that is not acting according to the ways of the Scriptures, or can be a group that is under a curse. You must pray for wisdom in what to do, and pray and break those curses off your life. –(2 Cor. 6:14-7:1)

Above all you must believe you are free, and that you have freedom, that that Christ will protect you, and faith in the blood of Christ, and that you are blessed. –(Rom. 8:31-39)

Apart from that, poverty is not the will of the Lord for any believer; God wants every believer to be financial healthy, financial independence, have financial freedom, and financial success. Poverty is a curse, poverty is an evil spirit, and you can be free today. –(Phil. 4:19)

How to break the curses of poverty:

1. If you or your genealogy did any evil, or any evil belief against the nation of Israel or Jewish people. Repent and ask for forgiveness from the Lord.
2. If you mishandle or misuse money. Repent and ask for forgiveness from the Lord.
3. If you believe that not tithing today will bring curses you or it is a sin. Repent and ask for forgiveness from the Lord. Believe and apply grace giving.

Extreme Prayer Time

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Why prayer more, why have an extreme prayer time? You will experience God more in your prayer time. You will experience His presence more when you pray more, and when you have an extreme prayer time. Extreme prayer time is full of Holy Spirit activity, revelation, prophetic, and warfare that will give breakthrough. –(Acts 10)

You are ether led by the Holy Spirit to pray extreme prayer time, or you are going through warfare or suffering, or you are giving passionate burning love for the Lord. Extreme prayer time can ether will be done within a group, corporate prayer, or personal. –(LK. 6:12)

Ask the Holy Spirit to led you in your prayer time, ask the Holy Spirit to make you a mighty prayer warrior for the Kingdom of God, ask the Holy Spirit to give you a passionate burning love for the Lord and prayer, and ask the Holy Spirit to led you in extreme prayer time. –(Acts 16:6-10)

The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Supplication, there is an outpouring of prayer coming, it has already begun, and it will become a great outpouring. The Lord right now is rising up international, regional and city prayer centers, and He is rising up a huge army of intercessors, there are more intercessors being birth and raise up in our generation and time then any other time before this one. –(Zech. 12:10)

In cities around the world where the Lord is rising up prayer centers, He is establishing 24/7 prayer; the intercessors are taking tunes in praying an hour or two hours. However, the Lord will establish 24/7 worship and 24/7 prophetic watches, and the Lord is rising up city church center apart of next level of city church, these centers will be home to 24/7 prayer, worship and prophetic watch. –(Gen. 35:1-15, 31:11-13, 28:10-22)

In addition, the Lord is arising international global prayer ministries through the Internet. The Internet is a tool for global, and national prayer ministries. The Lord is rising up many prayer ministries this is all work of the Spirit. –(Matt. 13:47)

Apart from that, let me give you some examples of extreme prayer time. Example prayer time is praying more then three hours at a time. There is over night prayer times, beginning at 10 pm or 7 pm and going to the next morning at 7 am. Then there are prayer times of praying most of the whole week end beginning at 7 pm on Friday and going to Sunday at 7 am in the morning, and then there are prayer times when setting a day apart for prayer, you prayer throughout your day, and then there is the seven honor prayer time. –(Matt. 14:22-33, 25)

These extreme prayer times could or most be done with fasting, fasting aids you in prayer, you only need to prayer to see your praying answered, however some time you have to fast to get breakthrough when your dealing with spiritual warfare that could try to come against your prayer. Fasting releases power to your prayer, and fasting is a form of prayer, a work of faith and grace. –(Isa. 58)

How do you prayer seven hours, you are to do extreme prayer time ether by faith or by the Holy Spirit, ask for grace and anointing to prayer long hours. –(Eph. 6:18)

Write a seven-hour prayer outline, breaking down your prayer time to each hour, half hour, 15 min, 10 min, and 5 min. for an example of a seven-hour prayer time.

The Seven-Hour Prayer Time Outline:

7:00 am: Begin your prayer time; enter into the Throne Room by the Blood of Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to led you in your prayer time. Pray the Lord’s Prayer.
7:15 am: Enter into a time of thanksgiving.
7:30 am: Enter into a time of praise.
7:45 am: Enter into worship.
8:00 am: Believe the Lord to speak to you.
8:30 am: Cover all personal prayer requests.
9:00 am: Pray for nations, cities, and people groups.
10:00 am: Praying in the Holy Spirit.
12:00 pm: Be led into prophetic prayer.
1:00 pm: Experience the presence of God, etc. Finish with thanksgiving, praise and worship. End prayer time by covering your prayer time in the blood of Christ.

A prayer outline will help you to build your prayer life, but be led by the Holy Spirit in the written of your prayer outline, and the prayer outline could change, so make sure you make changes, and be led in your prayer time and prayer life. –(2 Cor. 3:17)

Have a vision of your prayer life, and have a vision of your prayer time, when you pray have a purpose, goals and vision for your prayer time. This will aid you in praying extreme prayer times. –(Prov. 29:18, Hab. 2:2-3)

Error and Out of Order, What spirit are you of?

Error and Out of Order, What spirit are you of?

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

There is a fine lime between truth and error; you may say you are in truth, however without the nature of Christ along with truth, you will not be in truth. Truth is more then words, it is also the nature of Christ. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

How do you discern something? Does it line up with Holy Scriptures? Does it line up with the nature of Christ? Does it line up with the Holy Spirit? Is there a witness of anointing or power? –(1 Jn. 4:1-6, Matt. 22:29, Acts 17:11, 1 Cor. 4:29,10, Matt. 7:15-20, Jn. 16:13-15)

You can error in truth more then one way, you may be right in doctrine and error in practice or error in lifestyle. Do you have a pattern of healthy and sound teaching? Do you have a pattern of sound lifestyle? Do you have a life of sound patterns? You can error more then one way, and truth is more then words, it is life, however it begins with the Word of God, you just can’t know the Holy Scriptures they must be written upon your heart! –(Jam. 5:19-20, 3:13-18)

Do you hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking unto the Church? Do you hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking through the apostles and prophets? Can you hear the Holy Spirit when He is speaking through others? –(Rev. 2:29)

Hearing is more then hearing; hearing means you not only hear you receive what you hear. There is anointing that is placed upon a congregation, a network, a ministry, and if are to belong to that group of people you have the anointing that is place upon that group in order to follow and flow with the them. –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you can’t hear the Holy Spirit speaking through apostles and prophets it is for the reason you are in error, and you may have a spirit of error. Those who hear and receive have the Spirit of Truth, and are apart of their company, those who don’t hear and receive them that mean you have a spirit of error and you are not apart of their company. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

When things are from the Holy Spirit, and when persons are Holy Spirit lead, when the Holy Spirit is speaking through a person and you don’t hear and receive the words that they are speaking, it is that you have a spirit of error and you may be out of connection with the Body. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

You can be born again, and have a spirit of error, you can be baptized into the Body of Christ and be out of connection with the church, if you don’t hear and receive from the Holy Spirit through others you are out of connection with the church, if you don’t hear and receive the manifestation of the headship of Christ, the ministries of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ you are out of connection with church, if you don’t hear and receive the fellowship with the body you are out of connection with the church, and if you don’t hear and receive relationship with the believers and the leadership you are out of connection with the church. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

You can belong to a congregation, belong to a network, belong to a company, belong to a group in the church, but if you don’t hear and receive the body and leadership of the church you are out of connection with the church. –(1 Cor. 11:27-34)

It is demons, evil spirits, lies and religion that hinder us from truth, revelation, new moves of God, the third reformation, apostles, and prophets, and revivals. –(1 Tim. 4:1, Matt. 15:3)

If you cannot receive an apostle that the Lord has sent to you, if you cannot receive a prophet that the Lord has sent to you; that means you have a spirit of error! –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you cannot honor the apostles and the prophets that the Lord has sent you have a spirit of error. The Lord did not send you His apostles and prophets for you to be friends with them, but to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying through them, and to apply the work of the Holy Spirit that is in their lives into your life. –(Matt. 10:5-15,40-42, Matt. 23:34, LK. 11:49, Rev. 18:20)

It is funny that people will honor, hear, and receive those that have no anointing, or little anointing, those who have no revelation, those who don’t have any manifestation of the Spirit, and at the same time don’t hear and receive those who have anointing, revelation, and a manifestation of the Spirit. We have people who can’t since the anointing, gifting, and even went they witness the manifestation of the Spirit that they still don’t open their eyes and ears to receive. This is for reason they have a spirit of error! –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you say you can hear the Holy Spirit in your life, but cannot hear the Holy Spirit speaking through others, then you may not be hearing the Holy Spirit in your life? –(Heb. 3:7-15,19,4:2,7)

Apart from that, new wineskins are coming forth that can connect with one another, and a new wineskin that is coming forth for all to apply and be reformed. There is a connecting networking new wineskin that will connect all new wine skins together, and there is a common new wine skin that is coming forth. Apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, foundation of the city church, and foundation to these new apostolic congregations that are coming forth. The apostolic government of the church is been establishing globally in the church around the world, God’s order is being established in a order of freedom, liberty for the manifestation of the Spirit and the work of the ministry under the oversight of apostles. If you cannot receive or apply this you are out of order. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

There is a massive reformation coming forth, this is the reformation of all things, this is the third reformation, and this is called the new apostolic reformation; if you cannot receive, apply, change, and be reformed you are out of order. –(Heb. 9:10,12:25-29)

There is the reformation that is corporate reformation, and then there is personal reformation, if you don’t receive the corporate reformation and if you don’t go through personal reformation you are out of order. –(Heb. 9:10)

There is a time to be apart of a fellowship, which is always, and then there is a time to be away from a fellowship, for reasons, that you going through a wilderness experience, you are about to give birth to something new, or you doing missionary work, and there could be other reasons, but in all things you are not apart from fellowship, you may be away from a fellowship, but not without fellowship. The wilderness experience is not for life, and should not last a long time, we as Christians are to be in fellowship with one another to be in a fellowship, and this is God’s will. –(1 Jn. 1:7)

Did the Holy Spirit led you, are you following the Holy Spirit leading, what is leading you, what is your motive? Has the Lord lead you do that kind of ministry? We need to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and to know if what has lead us in a certain way of ministry. Is it your God giving purpose; is it your God giving vision? –(1 Thess. 5:16-22)

The conclusion of these matters is what spirit are you of? If something is of the Holy Spirit there is truth, and nature of Christ, if what you are speaking is not anointed, and you feel something being release as they speak, what spirit are they of? When in fellowship with a person, and you feel like something evil have got on you during your time of fellowship, what spirit are they of? If you’re at a meeting, if your hearing a sermon or teaching, and if someone is giving you are prophecy, and you since something is not right, it seem that some evil; thing has jump on you, what spirit are they of? If Christians don’t walk in love, what spirit are they of? If Christians are not open to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, what spirit are they of? If Christians are not open to the LORD sent apostles and the LORD send prophets, what spirit are they of? It is sure not the Holy Spirit! It is sure not truth! It is sure not the nature of Christ! It is sure not from God! –(Heb. 4:12, 5:14)

One of the signs of Christian maturity is if you have train and you’re in control of your tongue. There are other signs of maturity, when you become a mature believer you are to begin to be a father and a mentor to others in the faith. However, when you are mature, you will always need to grow and mature more. Apart of the purposes upon my life is to aid Christians to grow and mature, a call to maturity has gone throughout the body of Christ, it is time to mature. –(1 Cor. 12:11)

We are to promote health, life, peace, love, truth, unity, wisdom, revelation, and praise, prophecy with our tongues. You have the power of life and death, you are to speak life, you have power to bless and to curse, and you are to speak blessings. You will eat the fruits of your lips. –(Prov. 12:18, 13:2, 15:2, 4, 18:21)

Christians are not to dwell in gossip, we are not to speak lies, and we are not to speak about the weakness of our brothers, yes there is prayerful information, and a time to be informed, but this is to the right people. You must control what you say, and don’t walk in gossip. –(Prov. 18:8, 20:19,11:13, 16:28, Psa. 52:2, Prov. 25:23, Psa. 34:13, Prov. 26:20-22)

Keep your tongue you division, and strife you can see where there are churches within a city, when pastors are mislead and believers to speak division and strife against one another, you must be wise and to avoid this unfruitfulness of darkness, and don’t keep fellowship with such people, Christians are to love one another, pray for one another, and care for one another, and seek peace and unity among one another. –(1 Cor. 3:3)

There is the voice of the accuser and the voice of the intercessor; what voice are you hearing, what voice are you agreeing with, more you agree with the voice of the accuser the more he will hear him. –(Rev. 12:10)

Do not dwell in complaining and disputing, watch your words, control your tongue, if you walk in such a path, you open the to door to demons. There is a connection between this path and the spirit of division. If you walk upon this path for a certain among of time you can open your life to the spirit of division. In addition your tongue can be use to dative faith in others, complaining and disputing is a form of unbelief. –(Phil. 2:14)

If you go around judging and speaking Christian curses you may be a modern day Christian witch, you may be walking in a form of witchcraft, not only you use your tongue to work witchcraft you also pray false judgment and witchcraft over your brothers and sisters in Christ. –(Gal. 5:15, 26)

Do you have a religious spirit? Do you go around speaking evil against those who teach and preaches the Word, do speak against things you don’t understand this too is a work of the devil. Stop throwing rocks with your words against apostles and prophets. –(1 Thess. 5:12-13)

The beginning of sin is pride in your heart the beginning of releasing of sin is through your tongue, if you control your tongue you will stay away from most of the sins that you commit in the past. –(Prov. 14:3)

There are some sins called the sins against the Holy Spirit, most of the sins against the Holy Spirit are committed through your tongue, where you see churches attacking the anointing, speaking against that which was done by the Holy Spirit and calling it evil or of demons, or where you see churches that sin in their tongue against the Holy Spirit, there will be no Holy Spirit manifestation in there churches. –(Eph. 4:25-32)

Are you a person of prayer? When you pray in faith you are to remain in praise throughout your day beyond your time of prayer, you can’t pray faith then speak unbelief and expect for your prayer life to be successful. –(Phil. 4:4-8,1 Thess. 5:16-19)

Be Content in your Present Suffering

Be Content in your Present Suffering

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Many of you are going through various trials, sufferings, tests, and afflictions. All things that come our way are not always from the devil. At the same note God does not bring evil to us however, He is dealing and raising us up for His purposes and plans. –(Jam. 1:2-8,12-17)

We must learn to be content in our present suffering, and no longer to be in complaining and disputing, instead rejoice, give thank to the Lord be thankful, praise the Lord and worship Him. You have been without joy for too long, repent and believe for a restoration of joy in your life. –(Phil. 4:4, 1 Thess. 5:16-18)

Look at the prophets in the Bible as an example of suffering and patience. Patience is the foundation to character. The testing of your faith produces patience; every person in Christ will go through the works of patience, to become mature. We can see the sufferings of Job and even Joseph that the end intended by the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. –(Jam. 5:10-11)

All those who desire to live godly, meaning to obey their purpose and destiny in Christ will suffer persecution. Through suffering you learn obedience, and you overcome weakness. No one likes suffering however; it is one of the ways of God to enter into life with God, and to know His presence. Suffering prepares us to receive revelation, and revelation brings suffering, that is why we need grace. Once when you need grace you will overcome your suffering. –(2 Tim. 3:12, Heb. 5:8, 1 Pet. 4:1, Heb. 4:16)

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of all them. Through the teaching of the Holy Spirit and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures the Lord will give you rest from the days of adversity.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts. The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Joseph was tested by the word of the LORD until the time that his word came to pass. For a righteous man may fall seven times and raise again, for the steps of a good man is ordered by the LORD, through he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD upholds him with His hand, and seven times a day we are to praise the Lord. –(Prov. 17:3, Psa. 119:164, Psa. 105:17-19, Psa. 34:19, Psa. 94:12-13, Psa. 12:6, Psa. 24:16)

There are sufferings that we will go through to reach our destiny. The Lord tests our hearts, The words of the Lord will test us seven times, will purify us seven times, and each time we are to praise the Lord. Joseph’s tests ended when He was promoted, this is an example to us that the Lord will complete His work that is done for us, in order to enter into our destiny. These tests are not for life however, this does not mean that you will not go through any other suffering, etc. it is just that the suffering to enter your destiny will end when you are promoted to enter into your destiny.

We must learn God’s perceptive on suffering. We must see His perceptive during the hard times in order to move on with our life. We must pray for the wisdom of God and pray for revelation, move in that wisdom and revelation that comes from prayer. We are not to be double minded during trials, instead be steadfast in faith and pray in faith. Have hope, hope is your anchor, hope is your tree of life, and hope will bring love and a merry heart, which does good like medicine and brings inner healing and healing love. –(Jam 1:2-8)

Pray for revelation about the mistakes that you have made, so that you don’t redo them again, pray for revelation of your sufferings, hard times, and tests that you will learn from them. –(Eccl. 1:18)

Above all have a change of heart! If you want to get the best out of your sufferings allow the Holy Spirit to change your heart, and surrender to the Lord and allow Him to take you through the process, the more you fight the longer and more time it will take. –(Gen. 32:22-32)

In a vision the mountain of the Lord grows throughout the world. This mountain is the Rock of Christ, it the Kingdom of God. At the top of the huge mountain is a city of God, it is the city church, and it is the Body of Christ.

A strong sense of unity is coming in the hearts of many believers and many leaders of the church. A vision of unity is being birth in the hearts of many believers and the corporate anointing is growing, covering and flowing through many believers around the world.

The Kingdom of God will grow, increase, progress, process move in our generation and our life then any other time before this time, and from our time they will be greater increases until the Kingdom of God fills the whole earth and all kingdoms will become the Kingdoms of Christ.
