The doors are open—if it is time to go, go with the blessings of our wonderful, loving Father. Times are scary—what lays ahead only our precious Father knows. It will get harder before the truth of His plan is revealed. If our Father has told you to go, then now is the time. However, if you want to leave out of fear or anger, stop and pray. He has plans for us. Do not miss out on His blessings because of fear. Remember, the Israelites wandered for 40 years, mostly because they were not patient and did not wait upon the Lord.
He loves every one of us. Our God knows the plans He has for you.

A cool spirit
I sense a cool spirit to the Lord each Sunday since the new year... not cold, but cool? Why? I am not sure. I believe that for many of us Jesus has become an inconvenience to us. Are we so distracted by worldliness that we have become cool? Consider our worship? It is dry & cool in our response to the Glorious One. Also, there is a person, or multiple, with serious sexual sin to confess and they are instead choosing to keep it buried, even though their conscience is heavy with the lack of transparency.

Time & trust
Gangs have a deeper trust than the church... why?
When you need to get to the airport at 5:00 AM, who do you call?
Time & trust are invested in small increments.

Sons & Daughters; Not Beggars of the Lord
The Lord reminded me this week of a word He had given me a few weeks ago - that Emmanuel was coming to be Emmanuel in our relationships and finances.
This week God said you don't understand relationships or finances because you are not understanding your relationship with me. You are coming to me as a beggar when you should be coming to me as sons and daughters. If you understand the inheritance that is yours as sons and daughters you would have no fear in finances, but would have joy in blessing others abundantly, for you know the huge abundance that is yours. But you come to God as a beggar hoping for scraps when there is a seat at the table prepared. In fact, God runs to embrace us and claim us as sons and daughters and establish it in abundance. So it's a picture of us just not seeing our inheritance but choosing to beg and strive for what is ours. A correct view of God as Father will cause relationships and finances to simply fall into correct perspective. They will no longer hold us in idolatry. But we will excel as sons and daughters of the King.

Don't be fooled by other maps
The second coming will be a complete new map. Unexpected, sudden, a shift we must be prepared for. As much of what God has done has been (Noah, Lot).
Referencing Luke 21 | Do not be fooled by signs, road maps the world is going to try to show. There will be many maps waved in our faces. The Lord says not to fall for this. Be prepared, keep oil in your lamp. Keep your eyes open for the Lord in this.

Shaking the American dream
" 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,"
—Colossians 2:8-9
The American dream is a lie. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not equal with the life, liberty and happiness of Christ. Judge the fruit in America to see this truth: our pursuit of happiness and the American dream has led to bondage. The church in America has fallen for this trap. The Lord will break the church of her addiction to the American way of life, with all its lusts, but there will be mass casualties. Let us beware, watch, and be on our guard. 2012 will see shaking and pruning as a major theme.

He will not relent
"if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself."
—2 Timothy 2:13
The Lord decided to purchase me by His blood even though I'm worthless, knowing that He cannot deny His character. He will not relent in His pursuit of me because that's His character.
