Take Me To The King! Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!

It is expedient that we have the constant nurture and admonition of the Lord in our lives. We must have a fresh Word from the throne of God to empower and direct in our struggles today. We need an infusion of His power and might into our present conquest. We must have the presence of the Holy Spirit to provide wisdom and courage for today’s decisions.

How shall we proceed? What are the solutions to the problems we currently face and the issues we will face in the future? We must look to the Lord Jesus Christ to receive the direction we so desperately need! The Bible tells us to come boldly to the throne of grace and make our petitions known to God through our mediator, Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4:14, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

How can we come boldly before the throne of God? Because Jesus is our Advocate and is pleading our case to the Father. He is our “great high priest” and continually makes intercession for us by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Even when we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit prays for us according to the will of God.

How do we know that God cares? Because Jesus our “great high priest” feels our pain! He left His throne in glory, came to earth in the form of mortal man, was tested in every way we could ever be tested, and did so without sin. He understands our human condition and is moved with compassion “with the feelings of our infirmities.”

How can we trust the promise God has made to us? Because of who He is! Psalm 24:1, ”The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.”

Take me to the King of glory that I may plead my cause and trust Him with all my heart, that I may not depend upon my own knowledge and ability. Lord, may I always acknowledge you and allow you to lead me. Take Me To The King!

Holy Father, Cover Me! by Myra Boozer

There is a covering sent down from the Father Above. That covering is the Presence of the Holy Spirit. He will hover over the Righteous and fill every void. He will filter out the world and the stench of sin and corruption. He will dispense the "sweet smell" of Holiness upon the people of God bringing love, joy, and peace upon the Believer.

He cannot be bought or purchased in any store. Nor can we wrap Him and give Him as a gift. He comes from the Father, the one who sets people free, free from sin, and condemnation. He is the all-powerful work of God that Jesus promised to those who seek NOT the "Things" of this world but seek for the HEART of God and all that He has for us.

His presence is priceless, far above rubies or treasures of this world, far above pleasures or longings of the flesh. He is not only a covering but an infilling of God's presence that will captivate you and your desires. What we need is to be covered in His Presence, the Greatest Gift we could ever receive. 2 Cor. 9:15, “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” Holy Father Cover Me!

No Man Can Shut God's Open Door!

Revelation 3:8, “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it...”

The Body of Christ cannot continue today with business as usual! God has opened a temporary window for the Church to call upon His Name and return to Theocratic rule. God is calling us back to His leadership as the collective Body of Christ. Jesus commissioned the Church to preach the Gospel Message. In Matthew 28:19, “Go...and teach all nations… 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...” Christs’ command was to adhere to all that He had commanded them.

Jude felt it necessary to write to the Church in the 1st Century and encourage them to earnestly contend for the faith. That faith is the Truth of God as spoken and exemplified in the life of Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4, “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.”

Cain, because of his rejection of God’s provision positioned himself against God’s will and leadership. Balaam was a hired prophet who used deceit to further his own personal agenda. Korah rebelled against the Godly authority. All these were an issue in the 1st Century Church and Paul warned of the same conditions in the last days. 2Timothy 3:1, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves… 4lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.” Jude observed these conditions inside the Church and Paul prophesied that these conditions would manifest themselves inside the Church in the last days.

Somewhere along the path to finish the commission given to us, the Church began to depart from the faith which was once delivered to the saints. Every pastor, leader, and congregation has been pressed by the will of a worldly society to include all men in the Church regardless of their relationship with Jesus Christ. However, to be a follower of Christ, one must be a disciple of Christ. To be a disciple of Christ is to accept His Truth and reflect that Truth in one’s life as a reflection of Christ. Only then is one acceptable to Christ. That is what is meant by a person accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Until such a time, one’s life is preserved solely by the mercy and grace of God.

At this late hour, we must turn back to the purpose of God in the earth. Let the Church rise up in the Power of the Holy Ghost and declare God’s Standard for every human life is the Word of God. Hebrews 2:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” In the Holy Spirit, the Word of God is our Safety and the Righteous run to it. Let us return to the God of our Fathers! God will place us where we need to be when we need to be there if we will obey His Word!

Let us purposefully and deliberately step through the Open Door that God has created for us in this hour. No man can shut the Door but we must choose to enter into the Will of God. Let us awake from the spirit of Slumber, heed the Voice of God, and finish Our Mission as the Body of Christ! God will close His Door in His Time just as He closed the door on the Ark. Get in while you can!

Come And Sit Among Us! by Myra Boozer

Lord, would You please come and sit among us?

We long for more of You and Your Righteousness.

Rain down upon us Your lovingkindness,

For we stand today at your mercy.

We need Your message of Truth and Grace.

Bring to us Your revelation of the New Day Dawning,

The Day of Your soon appearing, when You step out on the clouds to call us Home.

Open our eyes to a greater understanding of what it actually means to be Your People, a Chosen People, and a Royal Priesthood.

May we be ready when You shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God calling us to come up to where You are.

Lord our hearts are open to Your Spirit and we long to be in Your presence. Please come and sit among us, refresh us, revive us, renew us and restore us to our first love. For You are coming for Your Bride, the one You Love and the one who loves YOU...Come And Sit Among Us!

I Have Set Before You An Open Door!

Revelation 3:8, “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

God has set the stage for His final events. The Church in America bears the responsibility for the destiny of this nation. Will we continue our prayer meetings and seek God with our whole heart for Revival in America? Are we willing to sacrifice our time and energy to bring a Spiritual Awakening and a breaking forth of the Light of God? Are we willing to commit our all to the work of Christ that we can have Revival in our local churches and in our families?

Satan is angry because the Children of God would dare to rise up against him. He is releasing the powers of darkness in every venue in the public and private arena. But, Satan, the Blood of Jesus is against you! 1 John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

The Body of Christ must rise up in the power and authority of Jesus Christ and proclaim victory in Jesus Name. Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;” Isaiah 61:1. He gave the same power to the Church in Matthew 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

We are challenged to receive the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in the person of the Holy Ghost and to GO and bind up the brokenhearted, bring liberty to the captives, open the prisons to them that are bound. “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it...” Go and go in the power of Jesus Name! Amen! (continued)

What God Has Ordained, He Will Establish! by Myra Boozer

Isaiah 46:9, “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.”

I love walls and gates. I love boundaries of protection with gates that open to new revelations or new experiences. In 2013 and before, we were praying, "Open the doors you want open Lord and close those you want to be closed." We have learned His Ways are so much better than ours and to Trust Him brings great Joy!

Now, today we are giving so much Praise and Honor to our Lord who opened the way for us to minister to the Whole World. We are so humbled and feel like David...whom God pulled from the fields all dirty and sweaty from tending to his Father's sheep...unworthy, unknown by many and just hidden away from all the crowds...but yet remembering what God had spoken to us on many occasions and He has made our calling and election very sure (confident, positive, absolute, certain without doubt, determine, ESTABLISH).

We knew that in His time God would reveal to us His Will for these Last Days. I was reminded by a friend as she told me that God spoke these words to her, "What God ordains He will establish." Those whom God calls, He ordains, He consecrates with His anointing. It is not for us to question but to yield to His timing. He will establish (to work or settle in a permanent place) build-up, set up, install, prove, verify, and confirm.

David's own family had no real confidence in him. When he went to the battlefield to serve them food, they knew him as their little brother doing the work that maybe they didn't want to do. He wasn't a popular person but he was a person who loved God and had seen first hand how God had protected him against the bear and the lion. David had a song in his heart that God loved to hear and God chose him to be anointed as the King of Israel.

To be a “nobody” is not a bad thing when God knows you by name and knows exactly where you are. He also knows He can depend on you to listen to His voice, be obedient and follow His commands when the Gate opens. At that point, he will lead you into new and deeper revelations of Himself that you can be the witness that He has ordained you to be. Whatever the task great or small, it is such an honor to be chosen and used by God to minister to others. What God Has Ordained He Will Establish!

Push Back Against The Darkness! Conclusion

Spiritual darkness has come upon this world like a spiritual tsunami! Our struggles in the spirit realm have spilled over into our physical world and invariably affect our way of life. It is a serious matter to exclude God from our daily lives. That is what has transpired in many nations including the United States. God has been legislated out of our schools, governments, and public arenas. It is there that truth and justice should be promoted and encouraged. We have allowed our leaders to prohibit the mention of God in our public places and then wonder why our world is in such a mess. We have excluded God and He has left us to our own devices and the consequences of governing in the flesh.

Satan has silently done his work. We did not recognize the evil he intended and unwittingly became a partaker of his evil scheme. But we cannot go silently into the night. Even at this late hour, we must draw attention to the evil and avarice in this world! We must take a stand for truth and righteousness! We must actively and purposefully push back against the darkness.

Matt. 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

What has happened to the light? Where are God’s Champions for Truth and Righteousness? Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Instead of being separated from the world to be a light to the world, the world has been assimilated into the churches. When we rely more on the planning and production models that we have observed in the world than on the revelation and anointing of the Holy Spirit, how can we expect people to be enlightened and changed? Can we really expect lives to be convicted of sin and changed in repentance and regeneration without the leading and anointing of the Holy Spirit?

Why do we fall back on the arm of the flesh? Because it is the easier route. With the abundance of resources, anyone can develop their own program or plan. However, for revelation and the anointing of the Holy Ghost we must go to God’s Word, take time to be alone with God and His Word. We must bury our faces into the carpet on the floor and cry out to God with everything that is within us, fervently seeking God to send His fire among us to address the needs of a lost and dying world. God alone has the solution. Jesus Christ is the answer! Push Back Against The Darkness!
