I really feel that we have moved into a Season of Confirmation. God is confirming what He has already established. Do not move without the confirmation. There are so many deceptions in this world but God only moves in the truth and if it's from God, watch everything else around you begin to lineup and confirm what He has already declared.
Do not miss this season because you moved to fast! Habakkuk 2:3, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Be blessed!

I have been concerned about the drought we are having in California, but my daughter in the Philippines brought to my attention that it is not just California that is experiencing droughts. It’s happening all over the world. Yet it seems to me that we are not really paying attention. We’ve never experienced this before so we don’t know what it looks or feels like so for many there has been no change in their routines.
We don’t have to always learn from experience. We can look at the past. In Biblical times when there was a drought, everything died. Crops, livestock, people. It also brought with it plague and pestilence. Joseph was given the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream that not only foretold of the coming years of drought but was his doorway to greatness. (Genesis 41) 9 years ago many Prophets saw the drought coming. I too saw 7 years of fat and 7 years of lean. They warned us to prepare because the drought was coming. Most people can’t even see the drought until year 4 or 5 when things begin to stop being replenished. It’s here guys and it’s been here for at least a couple of years now! But the sad thing is that many cannot see it because there is still food on the shelves. They can’t understand the true meaning of drought, but look at this: · Lack of water · Diseases, waterborne illness and cardio-respiratory illness, · Famine (due to crop failure), and · Reduced living conditions (due to higher electricity demands) · Even a decrease in sea life because of the warmer climates. In 1984-1985 drought led to a famine, which killed 750,000 people in the Horn of Africa. Drought can also kill a person's faith or strengthen it, but it all depends on how prepared a person is for the drought. In times of drought we are supposed to store up and ration. You can’t tell me that you haven’t felt the urge to store water at least once in the last few years. And some of you did it for a short period and then let it go. I admit that I also fall in that category. We have approximately 5 more years, and I could be off because I have a bad sense of natural time, but begin to follow that drive now. It’s not too late for you to prepare for the really lean years ahead. Preparation saved Joseph and all of Egypt and preparation can save us. Trust in God that He will help you to prepare. Be blessed!

Philemon 1:8-21 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. 12 I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. *********** 17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. Although Paul sent Onesimus back to Philemon, he was not going to force him on Philemon. He wanted Philemon to receive him not because he said so but because his spirit led him to receive him back. That same spirit that was placed in all of us that we may discern the truth in all things. Paul was saying to Philemon, “Look at Onesimus! Is this the same man that left you?” Onesimus was a slave and thief and so he carried a bad reputation. His character was severely flawed. But now Paul is speaking of a different Onesimus. Onesimus the new man. Onesimus with a CLEAN SLATE. Jesus even remove the bondage of slavery off of him and made him their brother. If that’s not a promotion nothing is!!! It didn’t matter what he had done in the past. He had been forgiven. And he really only had to go back so that others would be a witness to how salvation through Jesus Had changed him. He had become a new creation and not only that but he had also become a help to the kingdom. Verse 15 and 16 says, “For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.” Not just any brother, but a beloved brother. So Paul is announcing that there was a purpose in everything that Onesimus had done to Philemon. Just as there was purpose in him running away. So he’s telling him to accept him. Accept him in the spirit. That’s how special you are to the kingdom. Onesimus tried to flee from his sins but because God had a PLAN for his life he ended up running into Paul. Paul moving under the instructions of the Holy Spirit took Onesimus under his wing bringing forth his deliverance from sin. Not only that but he trained him to be a disciple. He trained him to be useful to the kingdom. This is what it is all about. Everything that we do is training so that we will become useful to the kingdom of God. Training to be able to share this God News which is the news of salvation with others. You may be called to do it in a big way or you may be called to do it in a small way. “I planted, Apollo watered, God got the increase.” So you will be either a planter or a waterer in some form or other. And when we follow the plan for our lives others will receive their salvation and they will also receive their CLEAN SLATE. If you've never said it before, or maybe you just need to back track and get back on the right path and rededicate your life, pray this Prayer of Salvation now and receive your promotion. Dear heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus.I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I’m ready for your forgiveness. I believe in my heart that your only begotten Son, Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross and died for my sins, and I am ready to turn from my sin. You said in Your Word, that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. (Romans 10:9) Right now I am confessing Jesus as the Lord of my life and in my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. I accept Jesus as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now, this very moment, I AM saved. Lord God transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. I thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me life everlasting. Amen. Now shout CLEAN SLATE! Love you all and always praying for you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Be blessed!

"But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you." Paul knew with a certainty that God would answer Philemon's prayers for his release. In fact he told him to fix the guest room up for him because he was coming. Now that's faith! We can't just pray without believe that our words are accomplishing something. Yes, we want to go from faith, to faith to faith, but we must pray, pray, pray! So don't give up! You better tell someone to make preparations for you because you are on your way! Be blessed!

As beautiful as you are now when God begins to fill you with purpose you are going to become even more beautiful to the world. That light of God that we carry within us will begin to glow like a beacon. Revelation 21:10-12, "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;" God is talking about the New Jerusalem in this scripture, but what most people don’t realize is that we already carry a piece the New Jerusalem inside of us when we begin to walk in our purpose. This purpose that I am speaking of will make our light “like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;” Can you feel the beauty of God even now beginning to grow within you? Let’s pray that God’s purpose begins to be ignited in us so that our light will glow crystal clear for Jesus. Be blessed!
