The Lord is just saying for us, this is the presence, surely the Lord is in this house (she was indicating her body). The presence right here in our heart. Yeah He is in the church but He is saying, I want to take up more residence in your heart. I want to take up more room in your life. I want to take up more space in those rooms of your heart. I want all of you. I want all of My people. I want all of My people in this church and I want all of their heart, every bit of it. I want to take up residence within you.

The scripture says that His mercies are new every morning and I felt that the Lord said that there are a few here that really need to be reminded of that. There is some situation in your life that you have been crying out to God for mercy. Mercy is not receiving something you deserved to receive. You have done something in your life and now you are suffering the consequences and God wants to release you from those consequences. So if there is anybody here today that that speaks to your heart would you stand up.
As we were singing I saw the strangest thing: you know how you go to a party and you get those party favors that blow on and they unroll and then they roll back up. I felt that God was just blowing on these things and they were hitting people in the forehead, so I am just going to blow into the microphone and I want you to just close your eyes and let Him hit you in the forehead. And along with mercy comes grace. Grace is getting what you don’t deserve, a good thing. He wants to turn that ashes thing in your life into beauty.

I just want to bear witness to what Laurie said. When we were singing that song, Be still and know that you are in this place. It is this place that He is in (pointing to her body), and if we would be still and rest in holiness we will hear Him speak. But it is this place, not the building, or any where you are, it is within you.
Sisterhood June 2009 3rd Anniversary
In celebration of our third anniversary I asked Joe Stabler and Barbara Perry to seek out the Lord for a word for our group.

I saw a round basket, with a handle. In the basket were two kinds of flowers, Lily of the Valley, and Rose of Sharon, a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. (Bread was not yet broken, bottle still corked)
Interpretation: Basket-made of thin strips of wood (humanity, women of sisterhood) that had been soaked in water (Holy Spirit, Word of God) to make them pliable, able to be woven (still distinct individual pieces, brought together in unity of purpose to make this basket (corporate entity & unity). Round – no beginning or end, no one person stands out over the rest. Handle carried on the arm of Jesus.
Contents of basket to be distributed to those who had needs by those who make up the basket. Two kinds of flowers. Lily (sweet smelling flower, resurrection life) of the valley (a low place), Jesus, to be given out to those who are in the valley in their life. Rose of Sharon means a plain-a level, flat place with not much a vegetation or growth. The roses are to be given to those who have reached a staleness or plateau in their walk with the Lord, those who need a fresh revelation of His love.
The bread represents the word of God, the bread of life; for those who need instruction, or for those who do not yet have the life of Jesus in them. And the wine speaks of joy and the Holy Spirit. The joy of the Lord is to be our strength; it is for those who are weak or wavering. Release joy to those who ask. Pray for people to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

As we sing, “Let the River Flow” I just feel what the Lord wants to do right now, is let a river of honey flow over each one of you. As we sing the song, let that river of honey flow over you.

The Lord was saying as I was worshiping, if you took all the people in this room and took all their problems and you laid them out here, they would be all the problems of the world. They are all contained right here. We will never get away from problems. One might be ill, one might be worried about their child, one might be dealing with death and dying but the Lord is able. That is “truth” of the scripture. He is able in every one of those situations. As my sister was speaking of the honey that pours down over us think about it. It is the most nutritious food in the world. It is used to describe the sweetness of the Lord. The Lord will start telling you more and more about that honey but let that honey come into whatever you are struggling with this morning with. He is able.

On top of everything else, I believe the Lord just wants to bless you because of your faithfulness. Your faithfulness of coming; your faithfulness to pray; your faithfulness to let God touch you in hardest parts of your heart for this past year. It has been a difficult time, but when you are being prepared for a King as Esther. She had to be six months with myrrh and six months with oils and perfumes to be purified before she could go in. I truly believe you have been faithful to let the Lord prepare you. I believe the Lord just wants to pour out on you today. To bless you so you can carry it. All the words Barbara has given and the words you heard you have been prepared to go forth and go out. You have been prepared to deliver a rose, you have been prepared to deliver the lily, you have been prepared to get a harvest, but you must go now. It is your job and He is beckoning you know, He wants to anoint you, to cover you with His love and His honey.

Word of knowledge: For healing of female organs. If you know anyone with this problem, I challenge everyone to take the word out if you know anyone. Take it out to that person in faith.
I also saw someone when we were worshiping. I saw that your walk is going up down up down. Up one day and two weeks later you are crashing down. Up, down and you are saying am I so unstable? He says, no you are being winnowed. They take the pile and throw it up in the air and all the wind comes and blows the bad stuff away and then the grains come crashing down. So don’t be so hard on yourself because it is a good thing. If you see that happening in your life don’t think you are unstable but you are being winnowed.

When we were worshiping the Lord and the woman of God spoke of the honey just flowing over us, God just showed me how bees are attracted to honey and the sweet things. That is how much God is attracted to us as we begin to worship Him. Just as we raise our hands, He is so attracted to that. He pulls on us, just like the bee and the honey mesh together. The word of God lets us know that He is sweeter than a honeycomb. Our lives have to be represented that sweet. That people will not even know what they are being attracted to until they need us. But it will be something on the inside. It is the presence of God, the honeycomb on the inside that people will be drawn, just as bees are attracted to honey. They will be drawn and it will be an opportunity to share the love of God.

My daughters, I call you friend. I call you my beloved. The heavens are open to you, my daughters, that you first might receive my love, receive my heart. Know that my arms are wrapped around you tightly. Like the honey you cannot be free of. I hold you in that place, the secret place, and the hidden place. Though the storm may rage around you, I hold you in that secret place. Where you can rise above, you can speak a word of truth, peace and hope to the hurting and dying world. First you need this place of love, tenderness and acceptance to go forth in tenderness and power. So receive my love this day, my daughters, I love you.

As we were declaring the greatness of God, I saw in the spirit a big hole open in the ceiling and there were flames of fire all around it. Our proclamations were going out over this whole area and the spirits of darkness heard them and they have to acknowledge our God is great and He is in charge. Every one of your towns, I live in Tuckahoe and I declare God is great over Tuckahoe. Let’s declare God is great over every town represented here.

Did see in Spirit a harvest for each woman, small wheat bundles for each who harvests. They were brought together and stacked on each other collectively. What was bought stood higher than a man.

The Lord showed me someone who is in a position that attends to people, either visitors or patients. You are in a position that helps people. I saw you hurry past your boss or a co-worker with out acknowledging them as you were pushing someone in a wheel chair. You are focused and efficient in what you do, but having very little association with you co-workers. I asked the Lord, what are you saying here? And He said, balance. You love the Lord and you are a strong Christian and I believe that the Lord is saying that maintaining the balance in your association with your co-workers is not going to move you or influence you, but they will see what the Lord is in you and what He has done for you. Again the key word is balance.

I just felt God was saying He does want to raise you up, He wants you to walk on the water. But you have to be willing to get up. He wants to raise you first on His shoulder, but you have to be willing to get up out of that storm. There is not a person in this room that does not have a storm in their life right now. Some of us got hurricanes, some of us got a little rain, but God today, this hour, this minute, this song wants to life you up out of that storm.

I sense now, here at Praise, for the last several weeks (last week my wife and I were away) for several weeks now there has been a sadness. I don’t know if it is a person, or more than one, but somebody is going through almost a grief. And your sadness is like there is no hope. And what I felt the Lord saying today to you is that you need to grab hold of His chest and bury your face in it, even to the point of putting your face within His heart, if you can imagine that. Just put your face so deep into His chest that it is in His heart. I don’t know who you are, but you know it is you. But when you do this I believe that God has shown me that He is going to show you so many great and amazing things. It will be like as you put your face within His heart it will be like a tremendous theater, so something like that. He is just show you great and wondrous things that will take away your pain, that will show you the end result, that will show your path. But He wants you to do this. This has been weeks of this. I feel sorry for you, it just breaks my heart, you need to just bury your face in the heart of God.

The Lord is going to change us. The Gospel of John talks about a model, Jesus came down as a child. He knew nothing, He was like us. He was stripped of His glory. He willingly gave it up and He became an earthly example for you and me. How to talk in the Lord, how to walk on that storm, how to walk on that mountain. He was in His presence, He went to the Lord daily, He became one in His heart with the Father. He only did and said what the Father said. There songs that we sing here refer to that and that what the Lord is going to show us through the summer. He wants us to be infused with His ability within us, to talk with us, to teach us, so that we can walk according to His will, not our will.
