Because Of Jesus The Christ. . .

He Lives In Me!

Thursday and Friday night, Prophet Nate Jefferson literally spoke increase into my life! The pureness and genuineness of The Prophetic Word God sent to him, for us, was phenomenal! I realize that in this season, our obedience to the instructions, and The Word of God, will determine the level to which God will elevate our ministry!

I am convinced that God has greater for me and New Directions Church Ministries - I say this without any equivocations, reservations, or doubt, I believe emphatically that we are in the earth to stay! I truly believe that we will not be able to do things as what is considered, “normal;” I truly believe that God is about to place us in a realm of (what will look like) abnormality, because we can no longer continue going our way, but The Way!

What am I saying?

Fair - Pleasing to the sight, Bright, Clear, Agreeable, Not excessive, Favorable for a ships passage

Haven - A place of safety, Harbor or Port, Refuge, A place offering favorable opportunities or conditions

Cast - To Throw, Demolish, To Mold

Matthew 5:6 “6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.”

Righteousness is not all about how much clothing we can give away! Or how many homeless people we feed; which is righteous, but we cannot allow get caught up in being busy religiously, and not be transformed supernaturally!

I am changed since this encounter, and I know that God has given me commands to turn the people’s mind to Him, which means that we cannot enter into His Gates as we once were before, not even from yesterday’s encounter, we need to empty ourselves each Sunday so that we can be filled for the next assignment. . .

“He that has an ear, let him hear. . .” Your ear has been accosted all week, and you have been fighting (remember the battle belongs to God) but you have been fighting all week to unscramble all that stuff you’ve had to encounter, rationalize, figure out, but yet it has you frustrated, angry, upset, and discombobulated!

But after today - no longer will I allow anything to bind me up to the place as to where I cannot move in the Power Of God as I ought!

Luke 1:27-29 “27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.”

God told me to tell you; “Stop endorsing that thought, or memory, which desires to keep you bound, and that so easily besets you; Daddy says to cast it down, demolish it. . .

When we cast our cares on Him, we tear down the molded imagery that we built in our hearts and minds, and demolish them. . .

The building of doubt - Anxiety - Weakness - Frustration - Envy - Laziness - Disobedience - whatever it is that is keeping you from continuously seeking the Peace of God, and His sure mercies - God says, tear it down!

The Lord has bestowed upon me an assignment to “Transform their minds and hearts to be renewed towards The Purpose and plan I have for them in the earth. . .” Meaning, although I was going one way, the encounter has elevated me to leave that way and go The Way! Although I may not can see how I will be able to do the assignment, because I know that He is with me. . . Nothing else matters. . .

Paul’s story lets us know that even those who were bound in their minds by the law, and was strict with it, can be transformed to be used by God . . . Acts 26:15-16 “15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.”

Notice now, Paul was in a fallen state, but yet Jesus Christ spoke to him - This right here lifted me so high, I almost started shouting, because even in my fallen state, even while I was on my way to do the thing, an encounter with The Lord awakened something in me so great, that it redirected my life for the better!

But truly, the good news to me, which gave me tears, is that even in my fallen state, He looked pass that and spoke a Word into me that cause me to get up - Notice now, Paul is testifying about his encounter and yet Jesus met him on the way to do even more dirt. . .

Can I help you - Even in the fallen state God will speak to you, but not just pick you up from there, He will cause you to rise up and become greater for Him, even though you have the scab of who you were upon you! It does not matter with God, when He wants to use you, He will and there is nothing I want to do about it - Use me God!

No longer will I be a “Fair-Weather” believer of God, even when the storm is raging, even when I am in a tight squeeze and struggling to move forward, All Because Of Jesus The Christ, there is no place on earth I will go where I won’t matter!

The surroundings better take note to who just got into the boat, because Power is riding with you and because I am here, nothing will be able to take you out!

Obedience Is Required In This Season

Paul instructed them to not set sail for he had seen in a vision, the time for sailing is naught, we ought to wait, or we will be destroyed!

Acts 27:9-12 “9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” 11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.”

In this season, it is a must to remove the veil of the old you and allow the New You to realize that you have been granted Access to the Greater You! You will need to change how you view the One God has sent to you to help guide you on this journey! The instructions will be for your benefit, not your demise! Stop allowing your own understanding nullify The Truth of God!

Bishop Pressley is my Spiritual Father, and I realize now how important it is to be connected to someone who hears from God clearly and will not withhold any good thing from me!

I am so grateful for My Bishop, and I submit fully to him, so much that if he was to call while I am preaching, I need to stop immediately because God has something to say that is far more critical!

Luke 1:27-29 “27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.”

I don’t need to be troubled when God has something to say - I don’t need to rationalize it, all I need to do is hear it and do it!

We done filtered The Word of God down so much, we are not sensitive enough to The Holy Spirit of God!

Because it does not make sense to the natural eyes, you feel as if it is not viable for you to obey!

But God uses the foolishness of preaching - Those things that will look foolish to the learned; “They thought Paul was mad because he proclaimed The Resurrection and believe in The Supernatural” Paul said, I am not mad, but I am transformed in my thinking - Agrippa, you know that this is true. . .

All Because Of Jesus The Christ - I have a new found life! No longer will allow a non-effective tradition to cause me to become stagnated - I got somewhere to go! Even if I must proceed with difficulty!

Paul told them not to sail, but yet they went on and the
