As I’ve been meditating and listening to the Spirit of God through His Word and certain prophetic voices.  One theme has been a mainstay and continues to reoccur from the Master directly.  This theme has to deal with the current tribulations we are facing as a nation and Church.  As I stated in the previous blog — We’ve got to rise up and assume our truest identity in Christ, as His companion and Bride.  I’m talking about believers who have made difficult vows and covenants to the Lord Jesus by living, as best as they can sacrificial lives all for the sake of Christ.  I quake even as I write this because I know for myself I have to step into this in even a more intentional way. We pray the prayer all the time, “Lord let your will be done and let Your kingdom come in earth as it is in heaven” and we deem quoting this in faith as the action step needed to manifest God’s kingdom. But as I’ve meditated here lately I’ve begin to discover that the way in which God’s Kingdom is manifested in the earth is through us… 

“2 Cor 2:14 - But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”  If you have a prophetic sensitivity and will peer-in and listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Church you will discover in the atmosphere that there are the winds and sounds of urgency and conviction in our midst.  Already this year, I’ve found myself on several occasions confronted with a type of spiritual warfare that almost seemed misdirectional, but yet very needful for my spiritual growth and development as there have been close friends and loved ones God has used in this season to bring certain “tensions of life and conflict” but none of which were directly related to me.   The feeling I get metaphorically is the sound and tension you’d get if you were sharpening a knife on the back of can-opener.  Ear-screeching but needful. 

These are the times my friends where God’s word in you will be very painful to you if you do not release what He has given you.  Inside of you it will become a burden to you.   God is going to cause the tensions of life and circumstance to continue to sharpen the blade of His Word, until it is proclaimed and released to this dying and unbelieving generation.  You see we’ve announced the glad tidings of the Gospel as it written in Isaiah 61:1 - 

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;” But we’ve not declared the 2nd part of the verse to generation: Isaiah 62:2 

“To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn,” This is the two-edged sword Jesus that I’m referring to.  This same sword — will slay the one that rejects Jesus Christ, and will save the one that accepts Jesus Christ. The Two-Edge Sword should be in our mouths as we’ve just scene in Isaiah 61:1-2.  That word inside of us has got to come out.  For it IS the sword of God’s Judgment and Victory to this generation.   We must know that the only way darkness is going to be pushed back is when the light of God’s word in our mouths declare thus sayeth the Lord.  Whether its releasing advanced warnings to the unbeliever of God’s pending judgment and the coming events or declaring the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ to the heart that has been made good ground by the Holy Spirit. Either way God’s word must be fully disclosed and unveiled. 

In simple terms — when we preach we manifest! Eph 3:8-10 “8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places” 

Remember if we’ll release the two-edged sword that God has placed in our mouth it will release the fragrance of God’s knowledge to a dying and unbelieving generation.  They will know what they’ve got coming to them and have time to repent, instead of dying because we did not love not our lives even unto death.  The Apostle John went on to say (rev 1:9) that, He was our brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation, kingdom and perseverance and was placed on the Island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the “spirit of prophecy” (rev 19:10) Release the words of the Bridegroom… it will come out kindly, boldly and fully.

I want to personally declare what I believe the Lord is revealing to me in this hour. My purpose in sharing this is for edification, comfort and exhortation to the body of Christ.  I also carry a huge burden for emerging leaders who desire to be used greatly by God.  The “young” emerging leaders have said that the current local Church expressions in America (not all) cannot possibly be the only expression God is going to use to reach an unbelieving generation.   The emerging generation of leaders have whole new prototypes and paradigms that God has shown them and communicated to them that He would back and affirm.   They’ve been restricted to the balances of allegiance and protocol.   Some have been in training and are being raised as the next generals and High Priests of the generaton, but they’re growing despondent because the church of America is demonstrating behavior of harlotry and idolatry for she has not turned her heart and received Jesus as KING and BRIDEGROOM.  

I am 33 yrs old, it was thirteen years ago this New Years Eve that I had an encounter with God in surburban Chicago.  Interestingly enough 2yrs later I met my wife on New Years.  Both at parties.  One a party of wickedness the other a party of Salvation and life.  But I remember on the day the Lord visited me that I heard what I know now to be the internal audible voice of God.  He thundered these words to me “You’ve been exposed”.

Pt One - God’s Exposition

One definition I observed brings this to light:  Exposition:The act of expounding or of laying open the sense or meaning of an author, or a passage; explanation; interpretation; the sense put upon a passage; a law, or the like, by an interpreter; hence, a work containing explanations or interpretations; a commentary.

On my night of visitation I believe that God visiting me was largely due to the nature of His mercy.  And that he wanted to lay open to bare where I was in my life.  He wanted me to see where I stood with Him and to give me an opportunity to make a decision to change my way and course.  To this day I’m always astonished of what also accommodated Him that night — His Judgement.   There was a profound sense of deliverence, mercy and Judgement that confronted me that night.   The net result was that my heart was laid bare and open and a spirit of understanding and truth came upon me that gave me a glimpse of how wretched and undone I was, yet I also had a divine sense that as unclean as I was I stood in the presence of a HOLY God.   HOLY LORD GOD ALMIGHTY was the name the Lord used as He introduced Himself to me.  For He alone is the only God that can touch the profane and remain Holy as He did with me that night.

I wanna say that 2009 will be a year of great exposure both natural and spiritual.  We are already seeing this.  I wanna say that God is wanting His people to shoot straight with Him.  Areas where we’ve struggled and tolerated in sins we must gain understanding of His Love — it is the only way that we can be pure and remain pure.  God is flushing out servants as well (Apostles, Prophets, Teachers etc…) I’m doing this in own my life even now.   I sowed dangerously to my flesh.  As an above avereage basketball star I succomb to the pride of life and  many sexual perversions and worldly abominations.  God’s blood has certainly cleansed those things away.  I’ve found out that the remedy to defeating and disarming the deeds sown to flesh is to have a revelation of Jesus the Bridgeroom and to live a life of sacrifice and dedication as Holy servants in the earth.

The voice that I heard still resounds to this day — YOU’VE BEEN EXPOSED.    That same voice of judgement and exposing that I heard on my day of visitation also has,  as it were morphed into another voice that I’m now learning to recognize…this voice is the same voice that I believe will transition the Church into her truest indentification in CHRIST. 

For we (the Church) know Jesus as Savior, Deliverer and Healer, but do we know Jesus as King and Bridegroom?  Stay tuned to my next blog we will discuss the great transition of the Church — knowing Jesus as Bridgegroom.  I believe this is especially critical for the black peoplegroup within the body of Christ.

John 3:29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete

I have finally gotten a brief moment to give some things to you the Lord has put on my heart about being available to God as well as learning the proper way to create a habitation and dwelling place for Him in the sanctuary of our hearts.   Below I’ve provided for us some scripture to consider.   It would be good for us to note that David was a type of “God” and I think very easily “We” could put ourselves in the stead of Solomon.   This is a powerful illustration of how to walk out a Divine Mandate.   We see David instructing His Son,  just as God is instructing His sons on the Earth.  How did he communicate the instructions?  by giving him plans — the plans were concise, clear and right down to the exact detail. 

Good friend,  you will do good to know that though you may be inexperience, young,  yet chosen to do a difficult and enormous task by the King.  If you received and believed God in the assignment that He has called and chosen you to do — know that you’ve been chosen because of your dedication, devotion and faithfulness –  these are the things that literally create a dwelling place in you for God to abide in greatness and power.   “Your devotion, dedication and faithfulness is actually the “work” that builds  God a Holy sanctuary witinin your heart.  Those same qualities will also yield the same results outwardly God has called you to do practically.  Do the work He has called you to do first in your heart — and He will be faithful to build His work through you outwardly”.

I Chronicles 28:9-13,20-21   “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 10 So take this seriously. The Lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.” 11 Then David gave Solomon the plans for the Temple and its surroundings, including the entry room, the storerooms, the upstairs rooms, the inner rooms, and the inner sanctuary—which was the place of atonement. 12 David also gave Solomon all the plans he had in mind[b] for the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple, the outside rooms, the treasuries, and the rooms for the gifts dedicated to the Lord. 13 The king also gave Solomon the instructions concerning the work of the various divisions of priests and Levites in the Temple of the Lord. And he gave specifications for the items in the Temple that were to be used for worship. 20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly. 21 The various divisions of priests and Levites will serve in the Temple of God. Others with skills of every kind will volunteer, and the officials and the entire nation are at your command.”

I Chronicles 29   1 Then King David turned to the entire assembly and said, “My son Solomon, whom God has clearly chosen as the next king of Israel, is still young and inexperienced. The work ahead of him is enormous, for the Temple he will build is not for mere mortals—it is for the Lord God himself! 2 Using every resource at my command, I have gathered as much as I could for building the Temple of my God. Now there is enough gold, silver, bronze, iron, and wood, as well as great quantities of onyx, other precious stones, costly jewels, and all kinds of fine stone and marble. 3 “And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction. This is in addition to the building materials I have already collected for his holy Temple. 4 I am donating more than 112 tons of gold[a] from Ophir and 262 tons of refined silver[b] to be used for overlaying the walls of the buildings 5 and for the other gold and silver work to be done by the craftsmen. Now then, who will follow my example and give offerings to the Lord today?”

This past weekend I had the pleasure of ministering with one of my closest friends, Gerard Henry in Kingstown, North Carolina. Some of you may know Gerard, as he is the host for BET’s Gospel program “Lift Every Voice” (Seen every Sunday). This was actually my FIRST public ministry appearance. So for your boy — this was a huge step towards the things God has called me into. (more…)

Spiritual Father’s of Worship

There are probably two men in my life in addition to my mother that made a tremendous impact on my life as it relates to worship, Decker Tapscott Sr and Ricardo White. I will take the next couple of weeks in introducing to you as best as I can, the profoundness of the impacts these men as well as other spiritual father’s and mothers who have made a significant impact on my life. I will also share with you what I believe is absolutely on the heart of God as it relates to this topic of “Spiritual Fathering” for both the present and future generations. I will first start off with Ricardo White. (more…)

Please take a look at a recent posting by trusted Author, Pastor and Prophet –Rick Joyner. It’s along the same lines of what I’ve been sensing God is wanting to do as it relates to “the Arts”

…first read a paragraph earlier in the articles -

Then, I saw the most beautiful bridal gown I had ever seen suspended above me. It was made of other-worldly material. It was the purest white, but it also emitted the most beautiful blue and gold. I could not imagine that a more beautiful gown had ever been made. I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Will you help My Bride put this on?” Then the vision ended.

The next day, I saw the Heavens open again, and I saw the ball of fire again. As I looked, understanding was given to me. (more…)

Hear the following word from a trusted friend and prophet of mine - J.C. Alzamora.  I share this with you because I believe though it was spoken to my local church and congregation, I believe those of you who know me are in covenant with me and my family as well as the ministry of Bishop Wellington Boone and his Apostolic Church Network, F.O.I.C. (Fellowship of International Churches) should have the opportunity to receive the impartation of this word too, especially those of you who have labored among and with myself and/or Wellington Boone Ministries.

I ask that you pray for our local Church, The Father’s House, our leadership as well as the vision and mandate we are called to walk out so that God’s Kingdom and Authority can come and will be done in Atlanta. 

Blessings to you!

DS

Here the word…
