11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes.

FROM THE SUBJECT “1 year Later and God is just Getting Started”

What can be said of the Fathers House? Even though everyone under the sound of my voice may have not been here from the beginning although I live in another state because we are family I am just as knowledgable of this house as where I am.

I was here when the foundation was laid. I was here when the initial start was here. I know what you have been through. I know what God has allowed and I know what things we have done to get where we are today. Y’all not gon talk back to me in here. I AM CERTAIN JUST LIKE YOU AND MANY OF US IF WE HAD A TIME MACHINE MUCH LIKE BACK TO THE FUTURE WE WOULD TRY AND GO BACK AND CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MAKE IT FEEL DIFFERENT TODAY. HOWEVER NONE OF US DO AND THAT IS HOW GOD WORKS IT OUT. HE KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.

PACE YOURSELF

In other words I am very familiar THE FATHER’S HOUSE. HOWEVER, STOPPED BY THIS MORNING TO TELL YOU THAT GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU AND YOUR FUTURE THAT YOU HOPED FOR IS COMING. JUST WAIIIITTTTT!!!!

In today’s scripture you see God very clearly laying it out for you that He Knows the Plans He has for you. Somebody shout He knows!!! Say it Again HE KNOWS!!!

Evangelical Commentary on the Bible F. A Pastoral Letter (29:1–32)

“Prosper” (v. 11) translates šālōm, a term denoting well-being, wholeness, harmony, and peace. Seeking God will be characteristic of the “new heart.”

Evangelical Commentary on the Bible F. A Pastoral Letter (29:1–32)

“Hope and a future” is a Hebrew form that could be rendered, “a future full of hope.” Along with physical restoration to the land, there will be spiritual restoration to God.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? GLAD YOU ASKED. IN OTHER WORDS GOD HAS ORDAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED AND EVERYTHING THAT IS TO COME BEFORE THE THOUGHT EVER CROSSED THE MIND OF DR. FRANKLIN TO START THE FATHER’S HOUSE GOD ALREADY HAD A PLAN SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU 3 PEOPLE OUGHT TO SAY AMEN RIGHT THERE!!!!

HOW DO I KNOW THIS?

Isaiah 55:8–9 ESV

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Evangelical Commentary on the Bible F. A Pastoral Letter (29:1–32)

“Prosper” (v. 11) translates šālōm, a term denoting well-being, wholeness, harmony, and peace. Seeking God will be characteristic of the “new heart.”

I STOPPED BY THIS MORNING TO TELL YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING. MATTER OF FACT GOD’S GOT IT FIGURED ALLOUT HUMBLE YOURSELF AND ASK HIM WHAT TO DO NEXT. CAN I GET 3 PEOPLE TO SHOUT AMEN.

AS I WAS PREPARING THIS MESSAGE GOD REMINDED ME OF HOW I AM STANDING AS A MANIFESTATION OF HIS THOUGHTS AND HIS WAYS BEING HIGHER THEN MINE. HE IS THE ONE WHO RAISED ME UP TO PREACH HIS WORD, HE IS THE ONE WHO CALLED ME TO PASTOR, HE IS THE ONE WHO ALLOWS ME TO PROSPER

HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE ME EVERYTHING I HAVE

HE IS THE ONE WHO ALLOWED THEM TO ABUSE ME

HE IS THE ONE ALLOWED THOSE DISAPPOINTMENTS TO COME SO I WOULD CALL ON HIM

HE IS THE ONE WHO ALLOWED ME TO EXPERIENCE THINGS THAT WOULD PUT ME IN THE POSITION TO CALL ON GOD AND ONLY GOD

PACE YOURSELF

WHAT AM I SAYING? IN OTHER WORDS MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS GOD HAS ALLOWED THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR LIFE TO PLAY OUT THE WAY THEY ARE OR HAVE BECAUSE HE’S GOT A FUTURE AND A HOPE WHAT YOU ARE EITHER GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW OR HAVE GONE THROUGH IS NOT GOING TO HARM YOU. SOMEONE OUGHTA SHOUT RIGHT THERE. Here’s the word to back it up and not my opinion:

I GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU

Isaiah 54:14–17 ESV

14 In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. 16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; 17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

I SEE THE THEME IS PLAN, PROCESS, AND PROMISE P3. FUNNY YOU WOULD SELECT 3 P’S AS GOD’S DIVINE ORDER AND NUMBER . BEING THAT OF COMPLETION OF DIVINE ORDER. FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST. LOVE, PEACE, AND JOY. DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION. HOOK LINE AND SINKER. OK THAT LAST PART WAS A JOKE BUT YOU GET THE POINT. GOD WORKS IN 3’S SYSTEMATICALLY THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.

SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO :

POINT 1 PLAN IT

this is what you do as the writer puts it well here in:

Habakkuk 2:2–3 ESV

2 And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

English Standard Version Chapter 2

2 And the LORD answered me:

“Write the vision;

make it plain on tablets,

so he may run who reads it.

3  For still the vision awaits its appointed time;

it hastens to the end—it will not lie.

If it seems slow, wait for it;

it will surely come; it will not delay.

THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO CHURCH ONLY BUT ALSO TO YOUR LIFE:

SOME OF YOU ARE SITTING ON:

BUSINESS IDEAS

PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS

IDEAS THAT CAN CHANGE THE DYNAMIC OF THIS COMMUNITY

THINGS THAT COULD CHANGE THE LEGACY OF YOUR FAMILY

BOOKS NEED TO BE WRITTEN

SONGS NEED TO BE WRITTEN

STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD

LET ME PUT IT WHERE YOU CAN GET THIS DOWN IN YOUR SPIRIT

SOMEBODY IS WAITING ON YOU TO CATCH THE REVELATION OF YOUR PURPOSE.

I’M GONNA SAY THAT AGAIN CUZ SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH IT ON THE WAY HOME

SOMEBODY IS WAITING ON YOU TO THE CATCH THE REVELATION OF YOUR PURPOSE…AMEN

POINT 2 PROCESS

Much like the children of Israel you sometimes have to go through a process where God purges out what is bad and does not need to be there. AND ALL THE MURMURING AND COMPLAINING. GODLY CONTENTMENT IS THE BEST WAY TO BE.

and for all you rebuking folk let me help you out today and get your delivered. STOP REBUKING GOD’S PROCESS. STOP THINKING JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS IT’S NOT OF GOD. PUT IT LIKE THIS GOD ALLOWS THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN SO YOU CAN RECOGNIZE WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED LIFE.

HE GAVE YOU THAT CRAZY BOSS TO SEE IF YOU WOULD CUSS THEM OUT OR COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HATE THIS JOB WHEN HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE IT TO YOU. WORK AS UNTO THE LORD THEY CANNOT HARM YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE A JEHOVAH JIREH THE GOD WHO SEES AND PROVIDES.

GOD IS TESTING YOU TO SEE IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LIKE JOB OR IF YOU GONNA TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM WITH YOUR MOUTH. SEE YOUR MOUTH WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE AND CUT OFF WHAT GOD HAS GOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU TOO BUSY RUNNING IT AND COMPLAINING INSTEAD RUNNING IT SAYING HOW GRATEFUL YOU ARE AND THANKFUL.

(ESV)

14 In righteousness you shall be established;

you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

Let me help you today:

and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

15 If anyone stirs up strife,

it is not from me;

whoever stirs up strife with you

shall fall because of you.

16 Behold, I have created the smith

who blows the fire of coals

and produces a weapon for its purpose.

I have also created the ravager to destroy;

17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,

and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

RECOGNIZE THE SEASON YOU ARE IN HE IS PRUNING FOR THE NEXT SEASON NEWS FLASH EVERYBODY CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE ALONG FOR THE JOURNEY

some of you under the sound of my voice need to ditch:

THOSE FRIENDS WHO COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME

THOSE AROUND YOU WHO DON’T CELEBRATE YOU

THOSE WHO ARE OPENLY PRAISING YOU BUT SILENTLY KILLING YOU BEHIND YOU BACK

some of your friends who are sucking you dry

some of those family that don’t discern who you are

ditch those who are not contributing to your life

some of you have to stop doing the same stupid stuff that keeps getting you in the same situations

I don’t know if that is dating the same type of man or woman

that could be keep sharing your dreams with the wrong folk.... can i park right there for just a moment some of you need to reevaluate not tomorrow BUT TODAY SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU CONFIDE IN THEY REALLY AREN’T WITH YOU THEY ARE JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE BUT I STOP BY TO TELL YOU DROPPPPP THEM LIKE A BAD HABIT

IN YOUR PROCESS MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING JUST LIKE THIS SCRIPTURE SAYS IN:

English Standard Version Chapter 6

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:33–34 ESV

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

POINT 3 WALK INTO YOUR PROMISE

WALK IN TO YOUR NEXT SEASON.

NO TIME TO LOOK BACK WHAT HAPPENED

IT’S OVER MOVE ON

LEAVE YESTERDAY WHERE IT IS BEHIND YOU

GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO A SPECIFIC PURPOSE AND PROMISE NOW WALK IN IT

GET UP FROM WHERE YOU ARE AND MOVE TO THE NEXT DESTINATION

REMEMBER THAT PROVISION IS TIED TO PLACE JUST LIKE THE PROPHET ELIJAH GOT A WORD FROM THE LORD THAT THERE WAS A WIDOW WOMAN WAITING ON HIM. SO AS IT IS WITH YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING ON YOU TO MANIFEST.

WHERE ARE THE SONS IN HERE?

Romans 8:19 ESV

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

YOUR PROMISE IS TIED TO YOUR SONSHIP, LADIES THAT IS YOU TOO BIBLICALLY SONSHIP WAS NOT LABELED FOR MALE AND FEMALE BUT IT’S A POSITION IT’S A POSTURE OF KNOWING WHO YOU ARE. THE FATHERS HOUSE NO MORE IDENTITY CRISIS. BE SONS OF GOD. MANIFEST BE REVEALED IN THIS COMMUNITY

LET THEM COME FROM THE NORTH SOUTH EAST AND WEST. AND BEING A SON MEANS WE ARE NOT JEALOUS OF ONE ANOTHER BUT WE EMBRACE THE ANOINTING AND THE GIFT THAT IS WHO YOU ARE AND CELEBRATE YOU FOR THAT. EVERYONE HAS A ROLE. LOVE EACH OTHER.

Jeremiah 29:11–14 The Message

11 I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12 “When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. 13 “When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, 14 I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”—God’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.

Ephesians 6:1–3 ESV

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
