Shifting Into The New

June 29, 2011

Shifting into the NEW - not tweaking the old. Rivers of Eden - 60 days ordained by God for our transition. Movement is in our sound coming forth and the revelation. The NEW requires a total relinquishment of every old paradigm to press into where God is going and what He is doing. He is very clear about this in prayer to us. Tonight until end of August preaching and moving by Holy Spirit will reflect this as we venture out into our position in this area and in the nations but only IN HIM. We meet EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 630 PM. Our sound is changing, our style is changing- not tweaking old but changing. Using God's ways Scripturally to define us and our journey. Not old ways but His ways. Follow us as we follow Christ to be equipped and challenged and set free. This is not cliche but real. Jesus is real. So off we go - a small group of sojourners intent on progress and transformation. The time is NOW. We are calling forth by Holy Spirit NOW those who are called to be part of Rivers of Eden. They are out there and it is time; you know who you are and we are not for everyone but for those called of His Spirit to US for such a time as this. If you have gotten this far in reading this, are you one of these? These messages will be posted online weekly so hope you join us in listening. I am filled with peace and joy will resonate through God's sound in me and through me. Amen and Amen.

Steppin' - Step by Step, One by One!

April 6, 2011

Let me speak this vision first and then the word. Let this vision be imparted into your spirit and let it bring life and truth to each of you reading this.

Vision:
Sitting and praying on a pretty normal day. Suddenly before my eyes I saw a person walking. It could be any person. It could be YOU. It could be ME. Walking, step by step. Suddenly in the vision, the picture was isolated upon the feet of the person walking and I could only focus on the feet, nothing else. The movement of this person walking was resolute, determined, paced, and persistent. The movement was sure and exact forward. One foot up. One foot down. Moving forward. It seemed as if the whole world stopped around me as my vision was isolated and focused on these feet walking. One foot up. One foot down. Then I began to see by the Holy Spirit a word forming around this vision coming before my spiritual eyes. I saw this verse flash before me and I knew that this was a distinct requirement for the days ahead. Do not assume you know this verse and do not walk in assumption. Look at this verse with eyes wide open for a bold requirement of faith is being placed upon our lives that requires movement in the days ahead to go where we have not gone before, led forth by His voice in submission to His Lordship.

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight. NKJV

"Walk! One step at a time- with Me! One foot is always down while one foot is always up. That is what keeps you in balance and moving forward in Me and with Me. One foot is always anchored in the moment of obedience. One foot is moving forward in the hope of future vision, destiny and purpose being fulfilled in your life. Move, says the Lord.

Don't stand still in your own wisdom or your own way. My Kingdom advances. My kingdom moves and you are called to move within it, with Me. One foot placed in the reality of NOW. One foot moving in hope to fulfill destiny.

I am bringing you into CADENCE with me in your life. Moving with me and others that I will bring to walk alongside you and with you, with Me. Moving forth in My timing - moving to My sound, My beat, My way, moving. Get in step!

Stop sidestepping!
Stop attempting to step back!
Step up!
Step out!
Get in Step!

One foot down. One foot up. One foot down. One foot up. Move in Me, in My timing!

One foot down. Faith in where you are, no matter what you see with your natural eyes. One foot up. Faith in Me to lead, move, and guide you. Walk by faith, not by sight. Get in step and move!"

Revelation - God's Way!

March 29, 2011

Revelation given to us in these Kingdom Days comes with the price of waiting on God, seeking Him in times of intimacy so that our presumption and assumptions can be washed away in His presence to truly hear and to truly see what it is He is saying to us in these times. It will come to us in His timing and not ours and we will not run with the revelation until the Spirit gives us utterance and the Lord moves us out in His timing. Then His words, coming from our mouths, will come forth with power in authority.

While waiting on God I heard this:

"For I am raising up those who truly SEE and truly HEAR.

See? Me!

Hear? Me!

To see by My Spirit and to hear by My Spirit! To lose all discontent in the waiting so that I may speak with clarity and bypass your need to interject your own wisdom or presumption that comes from your heart, not Mine. For it is in these days that I will bring forth My words My way for those willing to wait for my timing to bring forth My utterances.

In waiting on me for the birthing of revelation, I will bring forth a new sound. A new sound to your ears that will bring forth a movement in the spiritual atmosphere. That movement will beckon you to come forth on the words that come forth from My mouth. They will call you into the depth of revelation and in coming forth on My words in My timing, you will know and you will see and you will hear the way to go. My word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. Now you shall see the reality of this. For those who wait and listen and see and hear.

This movement forth will usher in a new depth of surrender in your heart to Me and Me alone. Moving when I move. Speaking when I speak. Each step will be precise and each movement forth will be in sync with Me for those who see, hear, wait and move.

Simple! The simplicity that I have ordained and ordered for your walk in Me is dependent on sanctified lives and spiritual senses submitted to My will and My way. You are not your own but you have been bought with a price. I lead. You follow. Simple."

Today, This Day!

February 15, 2011

"This day is your day! This day! You have no other day but this day for the past is the past and the future is still on the horizon. But oh, this day is My day and I give it to you, says the Lord.

I give you the hope of today. I give you the joy in today. I give you the promises to be realized this day when you only walk in faith with Me, not ahead of me or behind me, but with Me.

Shake regret and grief off of your life. Look not at the what ifs, what could have been, what should have been, should I have done that, could I have done that - shake the unanswered questions of past regret and grief and look unto Me now, today, the day that is Yours in Me. For I hold time in my hand and I give you today. Rejoice in the reality of today. Rejoice in the reality of your present hope in me today."
