Sing a New Song

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:26:57 -0800

Lift up a banner to Our King
For His Majesty reigns!
Forever and ever...
See the cherubim mount around the throne
with their trumpets
See the army lift up their gilded swords
For the Kingdom is our God's
and His alone
He is the Greatest
He is the Most High

Shall we bow before your throne today, My King
And love you with the everlasting love you have shown us?
How sweet it is to praise your name
In Heaven and on Earth
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

A garment I lift to you, my King
A garment of Praise
May the aroma be pleasing to you
May our dance delight you, Father
To see you smile
To know you are loved
This is my desire

Blow the trumpets in Zion
Blow!
Blow the trumpets in Zion
Blow!
Joel's army take your place
lift up your gilded swords
He is your Shield and Buckler
For the Kingdom is His
...and His alone.

No one and nothing is greater.

A garment I lift to you, my King
A garment of Praise
May the aroma be pleasing to you
May our dance delight you, Father
To see you smile
To know you are loved
This is my desire.

I sing to you a new song.

Words from our Lord "Two Feet Firmly in the Kingdom"

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:38:34 -0800

Grace and Peace upon you,

These are words I received and scribed while spending time with our Father God this morning. I pray you are blessed upon reading.

Fully immerse yourself in me and then you will be rewarded.
For one step back and one step forward means you will stay right
where you are.

Two feet are all you have.

Plant both firmly in my Kingdom, in My presence and then you will see advancement. Then you will see progress.

How To Ask God to Fight For You- Part 2

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:09:53 -0800

Grace and peace upon you.

I have not forgotten to scribe Part 2 of "How to Ask God to Fight for You". It was a matter of timing and waiting for the Holy Spirit.

Please turn to Genesis, Chapter 32, verse 22.
Here we see Jacob wrestling with God after he crossed the ford of Jabbok.

Some areas to note:
*Jacob sent over all of his possessions across the stream as well as his family. He was LEFT ALONE when he wrestled with God.

Jacob wrestled to daybreak, even when his hip was wrenched during the wrestle.
He said "I WILL NOT GO UNLESS YOU BLESS ME".

Let's stop for a second and think about this.
Are you willing to leave everything and be alone with God and wrestle for your blessing? Even if you hip is wrenched during the wrestle, even if life's trials and tribulations are trying to wear you down, are you going to give up, or are you going to keep pursuing the Lord?

If you want the Lord to fight for you, be ready to enter the ring with Him alone.
Get ready for tests. Get ready to get bruised along the way. You will have to show Him how serious you are about receiving His blessing, His favor. Do you have that Jacob fight in you? Can you fight in the darkness.. in the night.. until daybreak?

"...you have struggled with God and with men and you have overcome" (Genesis 32:28b)

You're Not Alone (Prophetic Dance and Song)

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:58:02 -0800

I love when the Holy Spirit moves.. this prophetic dance in the spirit... the baby slept in the spirit the whole time... just another reminder that God is real and loves us so much.

I would like to take this time to thank Reverend Adam Larson of MinisteringSpirits.org and Ms. Terri Geisel of Soakinhispresence.com for their financial contributions to Agape Love Works Ministries this year. They gave in obedience to the Lord at the right time to help this ministry move forward. May their anointed ministries be blessed abundantly for doing so.

I pray everyone has a Happy New Year!

Spiritual Preparation for 2010

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:40:44 -0800

Grace and Peace upon the Agape Love Works Ministries Prayer Network,

I pray this note reaches you well and in good spirits.

This note is for our group's spiritual preparation for 2010.

The first chapter of Joshua talks about moving forward and possessing land...
taking over territory through the Lord's leading and encouragement.

There is a phrase that the Lord said several times within this chapter
to Joshua. He said "Be strong and of good courage" in the following
verses:

Joshua 1:6
Joshua 1:7
Joshua 1:9
Joshua 1:18

So I pray this note encourages you to meditate on the first chapter of
Joshua to spiritually prepare you for 2010 as well. Sometimes we are
gripped with fear about what's on the other side of the wall... the land
we are to enter is foreign... a land we are not use to... and we forget
that we are sons and daughters of the Most High. I pray His Word
reminds us to move forward according to His Will, His Way... to move
forward and take over land for Him... land the Lord our God
is giving us for our own (see verse 11).

So, be strong and of good courage!

How to Ask God to Fight for You- Part 1

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:59:52 -0800

Grace and Peace to all who read this,

First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers and support. Your intercession has meant so much and it has helped me grow spiritually and stay focused on being a vessel to let the Lord do what He wants through us.

Secondly, I am compelled to write about how to ask the Lord to fight for you.

When you are choosing a righteous life, you will undergo a series of tests.
If you are growing spiritually, the Lord will prepare you for the tests through His Word. Similar to the physical realm- you go to school and read about a subject and then you are tested on it.

Now, our testings come in our day to day life, particularly with our interactions with others. It easy to be holy and righteous when you are alone in solitude, but when you are in society, in the workplace, at school, etc. this is where you will be stretched to mature and the testing process really begins.

How do you pass each test? When adversity comes, how can you ask the Lord to fight for you while you hold your peace?

Here are some basics that I have found. In Part 2, I will give Biblical scenarios to the following in a week or so (I am currently pressed for time). Here goes:

1. Submit your life to the Lord and His Will
2. If you have any sin/trangressions, repent and ask the Lord to help you
overcome them.
3. Read His Word and pray... then ACT on it... do what it says
4. When faced with adversity, ask the Lord to fight for you as you hold your peace. (see Exodus 14:14)

Continue to operate by the Fruits of the Spirit to others and you will see the Lord fight on your behalf. This works. Remember, to do your part after the above 4 steps by operating in the Fruits of the Spirit. (see Galatians 5:22-23). Do not speak ill of others. Bless them and forgive them. Find ways to love them when they rise against you. If you try to retaliate in your own strength and in the flesh you will lose your peace and righteousness. Hold your tongue against them and you will hold your peace.

Remember, whatever we reap, we shall sow. If you speak ill of others, they will speak ill of you. Bless others, and they will bless you. Love others and they will love you.

I pray you are growing in your spiritual journey as well and I speak a soft heart and ears that hear so this seed will bear fruit in your life.

Til next time,
Sis K.D.

Clear the Path, My King (prayer over forerunners)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:45:27 -0800

Father God,

I lift you up and worship you, my King!
May you hear the prayers of your people.
May it be a sweet aroma to you, Lord.

Holy, Holy.... are you Lord.

We rest in knowing that you clear the path.
You part the waters and make a way.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Bless the Lord, O my soul

We lift up our hands to you
Our voices rise as we give a shout
Bring down the walls as you did in Jericho

Send a fresh anointing to your forerunners
Expand our capacity, expand our territory
Keep us under your refuge
Lord of Hosts
You reign forever
Light our path
Lead us, King of Kings
We follow you, for you alone are worthy

Hallelujah
Holy, Holy are you Lord
There is none like you.
Shine, my Lord.
Let us rejoice in your presence.
Let us feel the weight of your glory.
You are welcome to have your way.

Every person that reads this...
Show them you are in control.
Give them peace.
Let them feel your love, Lord.
Light their paths and show them the way.

Thank you, Pappa...
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

Biblical Diet- Should we eat meat?

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:12:58 -0800

Grace and peace upon you,

As some of you know, part of my ministry is in health, fasting and wellness.

When I first started scribing on the ministry's website, I mentioned the need to become vegetarian -- focusing mainly on raw foods-- and removing meat from my diet.

Today, I was lead to the following scriptures in the Bible:

Acts 10: 23-48, Acts 11: 1-18
Romans 14

I want to be sure that everyone understands that although it is a personal choice that I am making, it is not ideal for everyone and if we are going to become divided as a people about what to eat and what not to eat according to scriptures in the Old Testament vs. scriptures in the New Testament than we are in error. For we eat from faith and it is between us and God, not for us to pass judgment on others if they choose to eat meat. (see Romans 14)

A book I have been reading and highly recommend is Dr. Joseph Christiano's Bloodtypes, Bodytypes and You. I saw him on a Paula White show and eating according to your blood type and intuitive eating (listening and observing how your body/skin/hair reacts to certain foods) is the route I am taking.

Hopefully, these scriptures will bless some of you struggling with your diet and figuring out what to eat according to the Bible. Please be sure to avoid all silly confrontations with people who are ready to debate for hours about what we are suppose to be eating. Toss Romans 14 at them in a spirit of love and keep moving :)

Love you,
Sis K.D.

What is Your Next Step?

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:53:37 -0800

Grace and peace upon the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network...

As you know, I only write when under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
Today, I am called to send you this message about your very next step.

What is Your next step in life?

Yes, you have dreams... yes, you have goals... but what is your very next step towards living out your divine purpose?

Recently, I went through a season in the valley. There were a series of trials and tribulations and it lasted for so long I wondered if the Lord was going to see me through. Does this sound familiar? Have you, too, been through a season of hardship? Perhaps you have been having challenges at work, or trying to find a job in this recession. Perhaps you've had marital or relationship problems. Or, perhaps, you are just wondering what more is there to life?

When we submit our lives to the Lord, we know that He will see us through every trial, every tribulation. He will order our steps. The valley seasons are there to refine our character, to burn our flesh, to humble us, to quiet our soul and find rest in the Lord. We can try to build in our own strength, but eventually, we will find the works of our hands void of true happiness and fulfillment that only the Lord can provide.

When you spend quiet time in the Secret Place.. that place in your home where you pray and spend time with the Lord... ask Him to shed light on your situation. Declare "Let there be light!" and ask the Lord to order your steps. Ask Him "Father, what is the solution to this problem? What is the very next step out of this?" And then patiently wait to hear from Him. He will answer you. He will guide your path in this journey.

Let us pray.

Father God,

We humble ourselves before you.
Forgive us for running ahead of you.
Forgive us for magnifying our problems instead of magnifying you.
We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over us, over our families, over our homes, over our finances, over our church family.
Strengthen your saints, Father God and lead us into all truth.
We bow before your throne and we humble ourselves before you.

You are magnificent and we know that you have plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future.
Father God, shed light on the lessons to be learned in the valley.
Shed light on our path so that we may keep our eyes on you and the path you wish for us to take.
Give us strength in this economy to overcome and be a light for the lost in this world.
Fill us with the Holy Spirit with fresh fire!
Fill us with fresh oil!
Enlarge our vessel and fill us with a fresh anointing so that our cup runneth over.

You get the glory!
You get the honor!
You get the praise!

I speak favor over the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network!
I speak divine wisdom over the Agape Love Works Intercessory Prayer Network!
I speak peace over this group and I loose angels around us in the name of Jesus Christ.
I speak life into the valleys of dry bones where you have placed us to minister.
Let your living water flow from us, Father God. From our bellies, let your living water flow!

No weapon formed against us shall prosper!
Your sheep shall know their shepherd.
You are our shepherd.
And we thank you for leading us and guiding us into Your Truth, Your Will and Your Land you have promised us and our forefathers to this day.

We receive your fresh anointing.
We receive your direction, your instruction.
We are your faithful remnant, Father God and we love you.
You reign forever and ever...

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.

Hurt by the Church...

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:37:10 -0800

...these words resounded in my ears as the lady in our building shared her story with me.

She grew up in a religious home, went to church, and experienced the rejection and hypocritical nature that the Pharisees in the Bible displayed. Jesus couldn't stand the Pharisees either!

Even though we all fall short in our love walk, let us remember that true love and acceptance comes from our personal relationship with the Lord. We will not be able to find it on this earth, in a religion, in a person... in money or things...

As it is written, without love we are like a resounding gong or a clanging symbol. (1 Corinthians 13)

How many people do we know criticize and reject others based on their religion? How are we going to say we are Christians and do not walk in love?

When the prophetic first birthed through me spiritually, one of the first things the Lord said through me was to "Pour out more Love on My People"

I will never forget that day in Chicago. The command was clear, concise. But, wow, did it pack a power punch of truth.

You see, how can anyone have a ministry that is not grounded and rooted in love for not only our Lord and Saviour, but also our love for others... even our enemies?

Just as this sweet woman I met today, who confided in me how she was "hurt by the church" and how there are so many others like her... who once wanted to follow Jesus Christ and His teachings... yet saw the lack of His teachings and love being displayed by the very people who claimed to follow Him.

I shared with her that we must all go straight to Him and work on our personal relationship with Him in order to let Him do an internal work in us... to remove our past hurts.. to remove our pains.. our strongholds... we can not find complete love and acceptance here on earth because no one is capable. If we were all perfect, there would be no need for a Savior.

When people talk about religion, I am always the first to say that it is about a relationship... not a religion. You can tell the difference between people who are "religious" and those that truly have put in the time to draw nearer to the Lord..
to build a relationship with Him.

God can pour out so much Agape into you that you can not be hurt or offended by others' shortcomings when you choose to keep in step with the Holy Spirit. This is why we must put on the Armor of God daily and release the Fruits of the Spirit daily... to avoid walking in the flesh and getting pierced in the flesh by others.

In the interim, there are people leaving the church... lost... searching for answers... hurting.

If you are one of those people reading this... if you are one of those people who happened to stumble upon these words... I say unto you this day that Jesus Christ has something to say....

I love you
Don't you know how special you are to me?
Do you not know that I died and rose again so that you might
have life and have it more abundantly?
You have been through so many trials and tribulations in this life.
You have wandered in this land.. like sheep without a shepherd
And even now those that proclaim to know Me have lead you astray

But I say unto you
If you receive me with a softened heart
and ears that hear
If you come to me to listen
I will speak to you
I will reveal to you the truth
You will get to know me
You will learn my ways
You will learn my Will
I will show the path that I have for you
It is a path to prosper you- mentally, spiritually, emotionally
It is not a path of harm

So why do you let others lead you astray from me?
You have the choice
You have the choice to follow me and to walk with Me
to let Me order your steps and show you a Love you have never known
If you wish to be surrounded by my Remnant:
the ones that truly know Me...
Ask
Ask and Believe
Then I will send them to you
I will bring you into my true body of believers
Where you can eat of me and drink of me
and rest in my Glory
For where I Am
There is life
There is joy
There is love
There is freedom from captivity

Let me love you
in a way you have sought but have yet to find
Seek me with that same persistence
Seek me with that same fervor
and you shall be rewarded

Those that have lead my sheep astray
Shall receive their judgment
Blood of the slaughtered will be on their hands
When they stand before me

You do not concern yourself with the actions
of others
I pour out my grace unto you
I pour out my love on you...

Return...
Return to your first Love.
