Hello fellow Journeyers, Get excited because we are about to Take The Land for the Glory of our King!!! I wanted to let you know where my heart is on this one. By no means am I trying to give any glory to the enemy. I do sense from the Lord that He wants us to be aware of those things that oppose us, and be prepared with the “tools of understanding” so the road ahead will be a little easier one. May God bless you as you read this. I know it is a long one, but please keep reading - there is a strategy for “inheriting our land.” I pray that as you read this Word of the Lord, you will be blessed and find “relief” for your souls in Jesus Name…

Leviathan is Lurking

  The Wheat and The Tares

The Three Fold Anointing To 

Break ALL Yokes Of The Enemy

Rejoice For Your Redemption 

Draws Nigh…

Wendy M Christie 11-9-07 Revised 7-7-10

And the Lord said, “Leviathan is lurking, when this one comes out, it will come out by the Root and the entire plant will come with it. (The “root” is the love of money; hence the spirit of mammon. 1 Titus 6:10). Think it not strange when there is a Shifting and Repositioning within the Body of Christ. Some of you may say, ‘Oh no, not another church split.’ I say, There is no such thing as a church split. I am refining My House, I am separating and lifting My wheat from among the tares. Those who can not withstand the fire of refining will leave. Be awake to the fact that just because some of My sheep might be leaving the ‘church building,’ it does not mean that they are a tare, and just because they left does not mean that they will not be back at some point. Be careful not to judge or gossip about others, this judging and gossiping will qualify you as a tare.”

“Those who are not going through the fire now, have either been through it recently or will be going through it soon. Do not worry, and do not be moved to the left or to the right. I am the one who is In the intensity of this test that I have set before you for such a time as this. I am refining you to carry more of My Glory, more of My Power and more of My Presence than man kind has known on the earth before this time.”

“Be Grateful. It is in this gratefulness that I will ignite the “Law of Acceleration” and you will move quickly through this process. For I have chosen you, this generation, a people that I can trust to endure and carry this Multifaceted Mantle, for you are a Joseph generation. I have gifted you with many giftings, and it is through these giftings that My Glory will be shown in the earth. When the enemy would like to come in as a ‘pack of dogs’ and surround you on all fronts, he would try to attack from all angles at once, but hear what I say; he will not be able to penetrate your ‘Coat of Many Colors.’ It is My three fold anointing that I am endowing you with, a three fold cord that can not be broken, this anointing will break Any and All yokes of the enemy - confront him with a boldness and he will dissipate right before your very eyes. You will be as Christ was in the earth, Faith In Substance.”

The Lord gave me some insight into this anointing. He there are three that He is releasing during this season.

1. The Joseph Prophetic Anointing; from the pit to the palace; a refining must come first. Remember what Joseph had to “go through” before he could be trusted with what God was promising him. This will bring maturity to the Body. God is “growing us up.” A more mature, loving and understanding people we will be. (Genesis 37-45). Remember when Joseph flaunted his dream in front of his brothers? This was a sign of immaturity on his part, ultimately casting his pearls before swine. The Lord is saying, “Identify your pearls and do not cast them before swine.”

2. The Joshua Prophetic Anointing; the Warriors in God’s unstoppable Prophetic Army that stands for Truth and Justice advancing to “take the land” for the glory of the Lord. Tearing down the walls of Religion and everything that has been “between” us and the heart of God. (Joshua 5:13-6:21). Restoring the covenant of Joshua, “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15).This is restoring the “headship” of the true authorities in the earth and allowing them to take their rightful places of authority - Order will be restored.

3. The Jeremiah Prophetic Anointing; the rooting out, the pulling down, destroying, and throwing down that which is not of God and to building up and planting on the right foundation, a foundation of perfect love, a clear vision of the cross and knowing what our true Identity In Christ is. (Jeremiah 1:10). He said that He will release the watchmen on the wall and they will be in “Co-ordinance” with the Apostles to set the course for the journey ahead. (Jeremiah 31:6) This “co-ordinance” is Zion. (The scriptures that God gave me about Zion, are at the end of this Word…) If you are an Apostle, seek God on “partnering” with a Prophet. They are going to go hand in hand - there is not one with out the other. I believe this is for agreement, and accountability.

Within all of this He said, “I will release the Abrahamic Generational Blessing - the Power to get Wealth is in your midst, for true wealth is simply the absence of poverty.” True wealth has nothing to do with money or assets. True wealth is an attitude of gratitude, keeping our focus on the Lord, and having a clear vision and Understanding of the Cross. When we “Understand” that we are already Free, then we will Just Be Free! When we understand that we are already, Wealthy - we will Just Be Wealthy. He owns everything and is waiting to release it to us. The time for that release is coming soon and very soon, but our hearts have to be in the right place first.

And the Lord said, “Leviathan would like for you to just forget the gifts that I have entrusted you with. I choose when and who uses their giftings, not man – this spirit that wants to keep you from using your gifts is of the Anti-Christ spirit and is not to be trusted. ‘Order‘ in a church service is one thing, but what I speak of is something else. Just as a little leaven leavens the whole lump, if something is half truth it is still a lie. You can not compromise on this. Do not talk to or agree with the lying spirit. You will give it your authority if you do so. I the Lord your God will not tolerate this lying – fork tongued serpent of religion to slither among you, My people any longer. I will drive it out by its root (the love of mammon) and the plant will come out with it. (This is why there have been having financial troubles - the Lord is taking out the wrong foundation of the love of mammon - When He is the foundation we will see Him as our source and the money as a tool - then we can ‘have’ it). Watch your associations. You will not want to be a part of this plant. Seek Me and I will reveal the deep things of My Spirit and of decrement to you and you will know where I am and where I am not . Stay in Truth and more importantly in Love says the Lord.”

The Lord gave me some things to look for regarding this Spirit. Again, not to give glory to it, but to know our enemy - this is how we know what the strategy is. Leviathan means coiled or twisted in the Hebrew language, where this spirit is, you will notice a lot of chaos, noise and irritation. It is an enemy to the light. There is a sense of false Hope - this is either placing hope in the wrong things or loosing hope completely. (Job 41:9). If the hope is gone, this is a good sign that God is moving. I will explain this later on. He said Leviathan wants to go low (false humility), which is actually pride in disguise - I keep seeing it slithering in basements especially in churches where the sheep have put their hope in the building, the leadership or the ministry and not in God - it is “hiding” so no one sees it. Leviathan is the “king of the son’s of pride” (Job 41:34). Fleshy and stubborn. (Job 41:8) It will sneak up from behind (accusations and back stabbing - lies - twisting the truth - puts on a Big Smoke and Lights Show) and hit you below the knees (undercut your authority by convincing you that you are worthless and render you ineffective). True authority is not seen, many think you need a title from man to be “in authority” but no, God places All True authority, it is unseen and it Just Is. This is why we do not fear what man can do to us, they can not take away what God Himself has established. Like I said before, this spirit wants to sneak up from behind and hit you below the knees, so you don’t know what has hit you. By the time you realize what happened you can‘t link it back to the spirit realm and start looking at other people as the problem; it hides behind other things and is very cowardly. You may think you are dealing with just a “lying spirit” and a “spirit of pride” when in fact it is something else and the root again is the love of mammon. Also, it uses diversions to distract and “changes the subject” instead of answering a question honestly, fear is behind the lie. It wants to steal the credit for accomplishments that doesn’t belong to it; this deals with debt also - rewarding itself “the false blessing” jumping ahead of God. This is spiritual Pride. It attempts to stop deliverance because it has a heart that is “hard as stone.” (Job 41:24). Also, thievery and a gypsy lifestyle - moving from one place to the other because the newness of something is “exciting” but when the “newness” wares off and others “figure it’s lies out” it wants to flee the scene; a lot of shame involved. We will see these traits manifest from people as this thing leaves them. Also, the “lack” of money in most cases is a “trigger” for this to manifest. This is the main reason why our harvest has been held up. The Lord is going to take care of this thing Himself, and release the harvest to us. “In that day the Lord with His hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.” Isaiah 27:1 ESV

There is also a “false responsibility” with this spirit - it wants you to come into covenant with it by having sympathy for it, it will speak seductive words and in turn ask you to take responsibility for it’s wrong actions almost like an enabler would. (Job41:3-4). Always remember to separate the person from the spirit and show the person love and understanding and Give Mercy and Grace. Please do not confront this thing - you would regret it. (Job 41:8). The Lord told me it is His battle. Keep quiet and do not let it know you are on to it. He just needs us to Love people - kind of like a addict coming off of a drug, show love and comfort- you are their link to God until they can turn to Him themselves as the pride leaves. The pride will leave because of the Christ like Love that you Give. Someone has got to give and this is what will break pride and allow for people to be restored. A “deliverance session” is not going to work with this one, this is God‘s battle. “And Jehovah said to me, You have seen well; for I will watch over My Word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:12 MKJV

I keep seeing God’s hand grasping a bundle of wheat and uprooting it and within this wheat there are tears and He is separating the wheat from the tares and putting the wheat into the barn and the tares are being burned in the fire. He said, “What is left is as purified gold and this is the Rock in which I will build MY church on – the church without spot or wrinkle. It is this Unmovable, Unshakable foundation that I can then build Love, Truth & Light on. Then the harvest will come, then the harvest will come. Do not be moved, do not be moved for your redemption draws nigh, says the Lord.”

God will always do what is right and best for us. Because it can be a painful process, we can sometimes see it as something bad. But let me assure you, He is for us and He is ultimately thinking of our future and our wholeness. He has His hand on us and is always working ALL things out for our good. The beauty that will come out of these painful times is destiny fulfilled, it is what we were created to do and be. This is where we are ultimately the happiest.

The scripture below… Matthew 13:22-51, is depicting the emerging of His Kingdom here on Earth. I saw a parallel to this scripture and what God is doing right now In Us. For instance the scripture says, “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Think of the angles being sent to bring deliverance to all of mankind and to the purging out of our hearts, that which is not of God; the tares. We are going through this Fire right now and let me tell you, there is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth happening all around. All of mankind is manifesting these “ugly” things as they are on their way out. If things seem scary, do not worry, it is temporary and your redemption draws neigh. The reason that it hurts so much when these things are taken from us, is because we have had some level of hope in them, we have had our focus on them and our foundation has been built on them - false hope." “Come boldly to the thrown of Grace and ask what you will now is the season for unusual favor, go towards what opposes you, see it dissipate, go in and Take Your Land!!! Says the Lord of Hosts.” “Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 MKJV “He who puts his Trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.” Isaiah 57:13 MKJV

So, to recap… Do not worry, the thing that tries to make you fear is a smoke screen, it deceives - keep moving forward - the reason there is such an uproar is because we are on the right path and the enemy is freaking out! Keep moving forward and what is causing fear will dissipate right before your eyes. God is ripping the wrong foundations out of our hearts. These things have been so deep seeded that we can not even see them and most are generational. This is causing us to “feel” Hopeless for a short time, until we see our need for repentance and to turn our complete Trust to God alone as our source. You see, up until now, we have found our Identity in who we are and what our accomplishments have been and those things can and will fail and disappoint us. When we turn to Him - He will Give us a Heart Understanding of what our true Identity is; who we are IN Christ, the Hope of Glory in the earth. That way, when the “things” fail us, we will not be destroyed because our identity will be in the One who is infallible. Then the harvest can come, then the harvest can come. “Do not let your heart envy sinners; but be in the fear of Jehovah all the day long. For surely there is a hereafter, and your Hope shall not be cut off.” Proverbs 23:17-18 MKJV The Lord showed me that if we were to reap the harvest with these wrong foundations in our hearts it would destroy us. Money is a magnifier to what is already in a persons heart. If He alone is the foundation in our hearts, when the money is applied it will glorify Him.

Here is the Strategy for this season:

1. Watch your associations. Identify your pearls and do not cast them before swine.

2. Do not talk to or agree with the lying spirit. You will give it your authority if you do so. Say something like, “I’m sorry you feel that way.”

3. Please do not confront this spirit. The Lord told me it is His battle. Keep quiet and do not let it know you are on to it. 

4. Stay in Truth and more importantly in Love. 

5. If you are an Apostle, seek God on “partnering” with a Prophet. They are going to go hand in hand - there is not one with out the other.. I believe this is for agreement, and accountability. 

6. Seek Him and He will reveal the deep things of His Spirit and of decrement to you and you will know where He is and where He is not . 

7. Remember that the “lack” of money in most cases is a “trigger” for this to manifest., you will know it when you see it.

8. Remember to separate the person from the spirit and show the person love and understanding and Give Mercy and Grace. He just needs us to Love people - kind of like a addict coming off of a drug, show love and comfort- you are their link to God until they can turn to Him themselves as the pride leaves. Someone has got to give and this is what will break pride and allow for people to be restored.

Scripture References;

Exodus12:19, 1Corinthians 5:4-8, Matthew 13:22-51,

“Be glad then, sons of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God. For He has given you the former rain according to righteousness, and He will cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the locust larvae, and the stripping locust, and the cutting locust, My great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has dealt with you wonderfully; and My people shall never be ashamed. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and no one else; and My people shall never be ashamed. And it shall be afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.” Joel 2:23-28 MKJV

In a recent Word I released, God said there will be a “Great Awakening - Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up!”

“Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For never again shall come to you uncircumcised and unclean ones. Shake yourself from the dust; rise up! Sit, Jerusalem! Free yourself from your neckbands, O captive daughter of Zion. For so says Jehovah, You were sold for nothing; and you shall not be redeemed with silver. For so says the Lord Jehovah, My people went down before into Egypt to stay there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and without ceasing My name is blasphemed every day. Therefore My people shall know My name; So it shall be in that day, for I am He who speaks; behold, it is I. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, making peace heard; who brings good news, making salvation heard; who says to Zion, Your God reigns! The voice of Your watchmen shall lift up! They lift up the voice together; they sing aloud. For they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion. Break out, sing together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem. Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Turn! Turn! Go out from there! Touch not the unclean. Go out of her midst; purify yourself, bearers of the vessels of Jehovah. For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel gathers you.” Isaiah 52:1-12 MKJV

”So they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall make him flee. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah. As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says Jehovah; My Spirit that is on you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, says Jehovah, from now on and forever. Isaiah 59: 19-21 MKJV

“Just BE 

Step Into the Flow of 

My Spirit I Will Launch You 

Into Your Destiny”    
Wendy M. Christie   1-16-08  Revised  5-12-10

At a gathering a Pastor friend of mine said, “Just Be” to me.  I didn’t really understand what she was telling me at the time, but the Lord began revealing it to me and this is what He told me.


Many of us have gone through one test after another, one trial after another and one sickness after another, and God said, “This will subside, and you will step into My Glory, into My Power, and into a place where you will not have to “Enter In” to my Spirit because you will already be there.  This IS being Present in the moment.  Not living in the past or the future but Being in the NOW where My Peace lives - the very definition of FAITH“.


The Lord said, “Your gifts are the KEY to unlock my Power such as the world has never seen.  There will be no more “one man show” – there will be no more “business as usual”- there will be no more “status quo” – There will be no more “mediocrity” There will be no more “Good Ol’ Boys”– these are all of the spirit of COMPETITION & COMPROMISE which is a spirit that is in league with the spirit of DECEIT this power that you may see is NOT my true power – these are false and are the imitation of the ONE TRUE POWER - The Days of the Powerless House of God are over !!!  I am evicting these foul ego - driven spirits.  My Spirit is that of LOVE and Compassion and not of Man and JUDGMENT.  The false Apostolic will be exposed and will step aside for the True Apostolic to emerge“.


The Lord then showed me that He created us with our giftings, just as He intertwined our feelings and emotions in us for use, so are the giftings that God has chosen to use through us.  He said, “This part of so many of my people has been lying dormant, so much so, that they do not even think that they are gifted at all – but I have given these diverse gifts to ALL men, and I will jump start these gifts as the shift of this New Year takes place.  (Remember a prophetic Word is for the time when it is received - there is no time or space in the spirit realm).Those who have been fasting, sowing, obeying me, and who are LOVE motivated will see a shift and a jump-start and a launching into My Anointing/ Grace/ Ability and Power and you will see manifestation in you and all around you.  Just as an electric shock will restart a heart – so will I “reprogram” and “restart” your heart, and you will have a new heart, My heart.  You will know what My heart is, and you will be able to navigate easily because you will have My heart in you“.  (Above where God talks about fasting, sowing, obedience, and love motivation  - these are strategies in the spirit, they are laws that bring cause and effect into our physical realm.  Fasting cleanses our vessels (bodies) and allows us to forsake the flesh .  This in turn allows us to hear God’s voice very clearly, He gives us understanding that we previously didn’t have, answers come when we fast.  Sowing gives God legal authority to “give” something back to you - God is not mocked, that which a man sows shall he also reap.  If you have been reaping negative things, take a look at your sowing.  Even the very energy and thoughts we project is a form of sowing.  This is why the Bible says to take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ.  Obedience brings God’s favor, and when it is an obedience of sacrifice it will bring the Generational  blessing, like Abraham experienced.  Love Motivation, you see, we can not fool God, He knows and sees all things and what He looks at is our Hearts Intent.  Our hearts intent is hidden even from us most of the time especially when we are in something for our own glory or praise from others.  If we need praise or approval from others, God simply moves on  and comes back when we grow up and are ready to Love / Give Unconditionally with no thought of ourselves or any thought of reward).

“The use of your gifts brings more flow; this is the key to the flow.  If you are given something you must give it away to receive more; to keep the flow – flowing - you must give what you have away.  If you do not use your gifts, I can not give you any further provision for your vision – do not block up the flow, so jump in for there is coming a great awakening a great awakening – WAKE UP  WAKE UP WAKE UP  step into the FLOW and just BE in it – No Bones – just flow.  Just FLOW & BE who I have created you to be, Sayeth the Lord”.


No Bones means - to be forthright and candid about; acknowledge freely - No excuses - With no FEAR.  When we minister and fear is attached in any way it becomes perverted and that is not a good place to be.  I hear the Lord saying, “Come Boldly to My thrown of Grace and ask what you will”.


God said that this is one of the reasons that the church today has a Poverty or “Children of Israel” mindset when it comes to Kingdom and their Giftings.  We need to stop being in fear about using our gifts.  God gave them to us for us to use them.  He said to me, would you give some one a car and expect them to just park it in the driveway just to say that they had it, but they could never drive it?  Of course not, it is the same with everything that God has given us – it is to be used to GLORIFY THE KING OF GLORY.   He also said this, “When people step into this flow and start just flowing in and with the gifts that I have created inside of them, this is where “THEIR MONEY IS” - their provision. The wealth transfer is in this obedience”.   Remember money is just a tool, it is not our source.


Something that is very important in all of this are keys to live by.  Order & Respect - You must stay In Order where ever you may be.  If you are at a church that does not allow their members to use their gifts, you must respect that - use your gifts where you can - be sure the authority is okay with it.  If you step out with out the authorities blessing you will not be ministering by the Spirit of the Lord.  As you use your gifts, you will learn and grow and Mature IN CHRIST - this is the Hope of Glory in the Earth.  


Respect for authority is very important.  If you are disrespecting your authority, you can not expect anything to get from God to you.  When you are not respecting you “put a kink” in the garden hose so to speak.  The anointing flows from the top down and if there is a kink in the “hose” nothing will get to you.  Also, the Bible tells us to respect our authorities, if we don’t we are “out of order” and God can not legally bless us not just in ministry, but in all of life.  This includes our President.  I know many of you have been indignant over many different things regarding our Presidency and his policies.  You can dislike the policies and even the way he does things, and still respect office.  Please stop speaking against the President.  Our words are powerful and when you talk about what he is doing or the way he believes you just keep him trapped in a cycle.  If we as the people of God would respect our authority, the President and pray for him and speak positive things about him (you know, speak those things that are not as though they were; para Romans 4:17) then God can step in and change things.  This is part of the power that God gave to us in the earth.  When we disrespect authority we are putting ourselves in direct opposition to God and going against what He Himself has done (read Romans 13:1-2) and in turn directly oppose God.  Please do not let the enemy win this one.  He has successfully fooled a lot of Christians into thinking that they are doing God a favor, when in fact they are just bringing judgment on themselves and the body of Christ.  Remember Satan was “Lucifer” a beautiful angel that was created by God to “minister” to God.  He wound up disrespecting his authority, (God) and he was thrown out of Heaven.  God looks over His Word to perform it , He has to abide by His own Word or it would make Him a liar and God is NOT a liar.


The Lord gave me a vision of this flow and He said, “It is like a river that is flowing and some of my people have already jumped in with their whole heart, their whole soul, their whole mind and all of their strength.  But others have made camp in the World on the shore of My great river, where they think it is safe because it “looks” safe to them, but they are not discerning rightly.  The only place where it is safe is In My flow.  Stepping into the My flow and using the gifts that I have created in you - for use will bring MY GLORY on the earth; this is what My Kingdom on the earth is.  It originates inside of you, and wants to be let out.  This IS seeking Me and My Kingdom first.  If you seek Me and My Kingdom first ALL the things that you think you have to “get” for yourself will simply be added with no struggle and no burden on your shoulders.  Take a chance and Jump into My Flow, and it will take you to your True Destiny, your True Purpose, for this is a season of Destiny and a season of Purpose and a season of Dreams becoming a reality, but I need you to truly put Me first and step out into My Flow says The Lord”.

Romans 13:1 - 2  Obey the rulers who have authority over you. Only God can give authority to anyone, and he puts these rulers in their places of power.  People who oppose the authorities are opposing what God has done, and they will be punished. CEV


Acts 2:17  And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:


1Corinthians 12:3-31  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (A true prophet calls Jesus Lord - a false prophet speaks against Jesus or doesn‘t call Jesus Lord)  Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.   And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.   But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.   (Our gifts are given for the purpose of edifying the body of Christ and to bring others to the saving knowledge of Jesus).For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.  (God uses who He chooses to use and uses what gift through whom ever He chooses - it  is up to Him).  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.  For the body is not one member, but many.  If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?  And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?  If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?  But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him.  And if they were all one member, where were the body?   But now are they many members, yet but one body.  And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.  Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:   And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.  For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:  That there should be no schism  (division in religious denomination) in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.  And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.  (He is telling us that there should be no jealousy or competition among the people in the Body).  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. (This scripture is not meant as an instruction to compete.  What God is saying here is desire to have the “best gifts”  so you will be able to hear from Him easily and see what is coming ahead of you.  Life can be much easier when you have Apostolic and or Prophetic understanding and vision.  If He is saying here to covet earnestly these gifts, that means that He is making them accessible to all of us.   The question is are you willing to “GO THROUGH” to have these gifts.   Also, just because there may be several people in a church with a “prophetic gift” doesn’t mean that there can not be more.  We need to open our minds to many and or all possibilities - we serve a very Big God!


Mark 12:30  And thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.


Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


Mark 1:14  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.  Now as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.  And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him. And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.  And straightway He called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after Him.


Matthew 12:28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.


Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.


Luke 10:9  And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.


Luke 11:20  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.


 Luke 17:21  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


Luke 18:27-30  And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.  Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.  What are we willing to give up for God and His Kingdom?
