The Beginning of the Kingdom Message
“Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. …”From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:12, 17
THE COLLAPSE OF THE KINGDOM
In the time around 28 AD, no one in over four hundred years had talked publicly about the Kingdom of God except John the Baptist. Oh, one might once in a while hear it queried about in religious conversations here and there, but to the amazement of the synagogue leaders one could hear it everywhere. That is until John the Baptist was imprisoned, and hope quickly dimmed.
How quickly the cloud of hopelessness covered the land. You could walk through the streets of any city or town and not only see the effect of this dark moment, but tangibly feel the darkness. The people once again walked with their heads down, their shoulders a little more slumped forward, their breathing a little more stressed … hope had come and was taken away, hearts were sick. Their faces wore the poignant thoughts pummeling their minds as they wondered, “Has the Coming of the Kingdom been stopped?” “Would it still come?” “Had Herod stopped the return of the Messiah?” So close … so close … Rome won again.
Then came Jesus …
JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY
You might ask why did Jesus wait to begin His ministry until John the Baptist had been imprisoned? You might also ask, why did Jesus make the message of the Kingdom the central focus of His ministry? It was all part of a plan, laid out from before the foundation of the world.
Jesus and the Kingdom came in “the fullness of time” which was precisely at the darkest hour on the face of the Earth. Thus He was prophesied to be the “Light of the world.”
To understand this you have to understand the timing of the kingdom. It is important to recognize John was correct, he had to decrease and Jesus must increase. Perhaps John knew the manner in which this would happen, perhaps he didn’t. Either way John too would question if Jesus was really the Messiah and Jesus would answer that question before John would be beheaded. The forerunner had done what the “one who appeared” to him had commanded.
SATAN HATES THE KINGDOM MESSAGE
Satan hates the Kingdom of God and clearly he thought he had won the battle and his empire would stay intact with the murder of John. Satan had enjoyed ruling the Earth for more than 4,000 years. He felt he had been so cleaver in the manner in which he had deceived Adam and Eve. In so doing he gained not only the rule over the very Earth he had been cast down to, but he also gained the legal rule over God’s greatest, and special creation - mankind. All it took was to plant the little tiny thought that man could become like God. Satan never imagined that God might one day come as man.
Yes, Satan hates the Kingdom, he knows it is the only thing that can stop his empire from transforming and truly becoming a Kingdom, and Satan was and still is determined that nothing is going to stop his empire - not if he can help it.
THE BREAKING OF ALL DARK FORCES
The heart of Jesus must have sank with compassion as he heard his cousin John had been imprisoned. He must have also known it was a sign that it was time to step up the pace of the Kingdom. So He headed straight to Nazareth, the city where He was raised. There he would stand in the synagogue and read the words written by the Prophet Isaiah some seven hundred years earlier. Words that defined the Kingdom and what the power and the authority of the Kingdom would mean.
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” Luke 4:18-19
From there Jesus began to go to all the towns surrounding Galilee (Luke 4:43-44) and to tell the good news of the Kingdom. This is the first time Jesus called it the “Good News.” Why was it called the good news? Because, if you read it with eyes that see, you will notice that every force both natural and invisible, that is meant keep you from your purpose, can be broken or removed through the power and authority of the Kingdom.
7 FACETS OF THE KINGDOM
Thus it is with this remarkable message of the Kingdom that Jesus begins His ministry and instantly the message of the Kingdom took on many more facets than the one facet of repentance with baptism that John shouted to all who would hear. It was Jesus who brought the clarity for what would become a 3 ½ yearlong Kingdom campaign. In it’s basic format, this Kingdom Campaign contained seven elements and with these seven elements everything on Earth would change. These elements were meant to:
- Remind us that righteousness is the first requirement for the kingdom to work and repentance is the first step toward righteousness (Matthew 6:33)
- Change how mankind thought about the Father (John 12:48)
- Redeem the world from sin (John 3:17)
- Destroy the works of the evil one. (1 John 3:8)
- Impregnate the world with the leaven of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:33)
- Reveal to mankind how they might enter the Kingdom of God while alive on Earth. (Matthew 5:20; 7:21)
- Repeal the earthly sovereignty of Satan (Hebrews 2:14)
One might say that when Satan had John the Baptist killed, Satan jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The Kingdom began to surge rather than slow down. While Satan thought he had killed the voice of the Kingdom, he actually released the King of the Kingdom. Soon it would cost him his empire of darkness.
Jesus did not come to attack the sovereignty of man, but the sovereignty of Satan.
That was proved as He read the prophecy of Isaiah and from that time forward, Satan would no longer have the legal right to force people to serve Him.
“Inasmuch then as the children have flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him had the power of death, that is, the devil,…” Hebrews 2:14
Through sin, we submit ourselves to Satan, therefore he is called the god of this age by the Apostle Paul. And as such, Satan had a right to rule the Earth and mankind.
“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-4
THE KINGDOM CAMPAIGN
Herein is a spiritual law, “The Kingdom advances at the rate Evil is destroyed.” Thus the Son of God appeared in order destroy the works of the devil. That empire had to fall. Jesus could not come in the form of God to establish and instigate the system of the Kingdom. No, Jesus would have to come fully as a human in order to overcome that which the first human had failed to do. Adam was not God therefore, Jesus would have to become man.
To establish a Kingdom, there has to be a strategy. Thus, the first thing that would be necessary in order to destroy the work of the evil one, and establish God’s Kingdom would be to create a system that can stop the legal access Satan and his minions have to humanity. This system would have to so fully cover sin in man that mankind could actually become pure, spotless and white as snow. In fact they could become so pure it would be as if that person never sinned.
Because an individual commits sin, repentance must be on an individual basis alone. The repentance from dead works could not be a form of collective salvation decided by the consensus of the masses. Sin began within an individual and it would have to be eradicated by an individual. After all that is where the dead works of sin begin - inside us. While we may have been tempted by elements on the outside, we gave in to it on the inside.
Thus the crucifixion campaign must precede the Kingdom campaign. This would provide the system or soil that the Kingdom campaign could take root in, and grow to become so large it could provide for everyone who chose to live within its parameters (Matthew 13:32). If Jesus was, as John states, “the Word” and what Jesus taught was His Word, then the Kingdom is also His Word and it can be sown in many types of soil and bring in a harvest of 30, 60, or a 100 fold. Of course there are those whose soil is not prepared, for many different reasons, and they allow the seed of the Kingdom to be stolen, choked out, or die. But, repentance allows our soil to be prepared for the seed of the Kingdom to flourish.
One of the greatest things about repentance is that it removes everything one has in common with Satan. Therefore, it removes the legal right of Satan to attack you as well as his legal right to accuse you before the Father. This is a foundational and elementary principle of the Kingdom (Hebrews 6:1-3). It is why the Kingdom must begin within you, which is where repentance begins. Thus the necessity of the individual having godly sorrow over their sin becomes very important (2 Corinthians 7:10). It creates deep soil, which qualifies you to not only be a carrier, but a doer of the Kingdom rather than just one who talks about it.
As you know, Jesus not only talked about the Kingdom, He designed and became the system whereby the Kingdom could reside within us, and empower us to overcome the works of the evil one on a personal basis.
Truly, the wisdom of God is beyond that of mankind.
Blessings,
John Paul

perfect timing again thank you Father
Some of us go out on “treasure hunts” with the youth of our church. This is a kingdom/prophetic evangelism type ministry. We pray for “clues” and ask God to find these treasures (specific people) when we go out.
You can’t put the Holy Spirit in a box and often other people have the “bulls eye” on them as we are out and we have encounters with them and pray with them, too.
We don’t promote our church—just tell them we’re here for you because of God…
Our youth ministers have a little girl (k-5 or 1st grade age.) She’s just learning her letters and to read “Run Spot run.”
On her clue paper she drew a series of pictures in boxes that were the clues God gave her when she prayed.
When our teams came back a few hours later to share the testimonies of what God had done…they had the little girl show us her pictures. Her mother told us that they found this treasure–a person outside of Wal-Mart–who fit every detail that her little daughter had drawn.
The kingdom is a mystery–but it is not complicated. It is not the church—it is not the do’s and don’ts of religion—It is just being available to release love and allow God to work from inside us and through us to touch the world that God has put us in. Hallelujah!!!
“At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.”
—Matthew 18:1-5
“Becoming” the kingdom,
Linda
I prepare my heart oh God. Repair my heart oh God. Allow me to become Your Kingdom doer!
“Truly, the wisdom of God is beyond that of mankind.”
Thank you, too, Father in Jesus Name, thank you for everything! Amen
Blessings to you, John Paul, all your household and staff for all you do for HIS Glory.
WOOOW, Linda! Thanks again for sharing another awesome Spirit-filled testimony. From your two stories of the little girls, I am learning more and more that God’s strength is perfected out of the mouths of babes. You truly are “releasing LOVE” on this blog
JP, I like how you mentioned the Parable of the Sower (mostly because it’s my ALL-TIME favorite parable
; the Lord has been keeping me on this parable for quite some time now and every time I read it, I am even more amazed at what He reveals lol). I definitely feel that the Tabernacle journey was the crucifying process that removed the stoney places, uprooted the weeds, and layed down the soil of love in our hearts to prepare us for the Kingdom. I am excited! I may have to read this post over again many times because it contains a lot of meat! Thanks 
Enjoyed the walking tour! It took me over 4 hours for that 6 minute clip to show up on my screen. Now y’all understand why I use the library computers…
May someday all of us Coffee Talk friends can have a reunion in one of the rooms that God has provided for this ministry…
Let’s help John Paul get a “Streams Ministries” sign put up on his building.
Enjoy the Presence of the Lord today!!!
Linda
YAY its my Birthday today (Nov 16th)
I’ve had multiple prophetic encounters today and it all started yesterday!
I had an experience a couple of years ago about a “tsunami” (not related to the bad one in ‘04) but I was reminded of my own experience yesterday.
I messaged a friend of mine saying I felt something happening in my bones, like a massive tidal wave was on its way. It was all very sobering. Well my friend never got back with me so I called his phone and his Fiancee answered. She said “oh my gosh, who is this?” And I told her it was me! She said my friend John had been put in jail and his step father was going to bail him out! I was shocked.
Well she said she would get back with me when he got home. I got the text message at exactly 3:16 PM saying John was back home. Obviously this struck a cord because John 3:16 is one of the first versus a newly saved Christian will typically learn.
Well this morning I was feeling very alert like I was looking for something but didn’t know what. I turned on the TV and a fellow on one of the morning shows said “a tsunami’s comming” and he said “tsunami” multiple times, each time felt like a blow to my chest!
Today at work we have been experiencing problems on massive levels. I work in the I.T. field specifically with problem management so when the company has serious issues we are always in the middle of it trying to find a solution. What we have noticed is there are multiple problems that are occuring on different levels. From time to time all of these problems come together an unify to cause a really bad/or strange situation.
I can honestly say this feels like a precursor to something else that is brewing. Maybe the perfect storm?
I remember hearing in the spirit “God’s Perfect Storm” before John Paul released his message but I thought it was my imagination so I didn’t pay any attention until the Man of God released what was told to him. “Storm of the Century” is another thing i’ve heard it called but that is also just another movie so maybe there is nothing to that one.
Anyway just thought I would share a very interesting birthday!
Shaun Brehm
Amen, I second that Linda
You are so precious in His site. Actually all of you are precious in His site. Linda, we recently did a video in our new prayer room group chat on Face Book and Linda, the card that you had sent me was in my studio under my piano and I couldn’t help but share it with everyone in the group because God’s liquid love was oozing out of the card. I was speaking to you so when you come back into the prayer room and offer up prayer for Streams Ministries and the other ministries that God puts in our hearts to pray for you’ll see the video in the video section.
There seems to be a parallel here regarding the teaching of the Kingdom and the releasing of the ministry that God has called us to. The Lord has been releasing within the very core of my being not only the gift of prayer but the desire and urgency to pray on others behalf. There is a Holy Spirit compelling desire to cover others in prayer like never before. Before it was more about individuals that I know and love and that know me. People that I’ve known personally day in and day out. Now there is a greater shift to pray for nations, under the burden of the Lord, instead of my own personal burden. We live in urgent times and the Lord wants to come to the aid of His people in order to win peoples hearts over to Him. And He does it through His heavenly surprises.
A few nights ago, in my dream the Lord brought me to Iran:
The Lord brought me over to Iran 4 nights ago. Apparently, the people of Iran are living under the intense pressure of Sharia Law. When we ( me and Jesus who looked like my husband) appeared in Iran we flew over the mid part of the country and it was covered in Red, like warning and also the blood of Jesus. We ended up in a place of the airport that was concealed and hidden, we were first appeared inside of black fighter jets hidden to the side of Iran’s airport, somewhere in the woods. In the dream I knew that these planes were meant for evil and we weren’t suppose to be there. We managed our way out of the place where the hidden fighter jets were and went to the flight attendants to check into a flight leaving Iran. All I knew was that I did not want to be there any longer than 12 to 24 hours. I feel as I am writing this, my spirit is still in Iran, whoa. Something evil is being planned behind the scenes and I felt that the people of Iran are being held hostage spiritually. There is much anxiety and they are walking on egg shells. I was getting a sick feeling in my stomach for the people of Iran in the dream. It was not good. They are under so much pressure under the cruel leadership/dictatorship. My husband went up to the flight attendant to book a flight and when he spoke English into the mic and it was received as Arabic/Aramaic and when I spoke they received it in English only. I said to myself in the dream, my husband does not even know aramaen/arabic why did his English turn into Arabic/aramaen. And then I realized that it was not my husband Jeff, but Jesus in the disguise of my husband, like He presented himself to the disciples in different people. Only Jesus would know the Aramaen/arabic language of the Middle East because that was what He spoke when He was walking the earth over 2,000 years ago, lol. The Lord made Himself look like my husband, lol. The Lord was my husband in the dream, lol. I believe that this is the part of the country controlled by President Ahmenijab. It was an airy feeling being in Iran. I kept telling my husband/Jesus that we can’t stay too long because they will come after us to kill us, the consensus is whenever the muslim men are called to go into battle or a time of prayer, in the dream according to the what this Iranian citizen which could be the angel that watches over Iran,apparently this Iranian citizen in the dream was telling me in the dream, they cannot sleep with their wives if they do because of the decree set forth by the religious leaders of Iran, it will be seen as breaking the law and they would get beheaded. In the dream, I said to myself this is a very strange law, I thought Iran was a democracy, hello…And then I realized that it was part of Sharia Law in regards to preparing the men of the country for war and battle even if they did not agree with it.
When we first got to Iran, we needed to check with the airlines to see what time they were going to have another plane to come back to the United States and they said we were going to have to wait they don’t fly at night.
So, Jesus and I broke the law and managed to escape to a one of the hotels by the airport. It felt like we were in a cockpit of a plane. I told my husband who was actually the Lord, that we need to leave now or they will kill us and why did we not go to Israel first because that is where I preferred to be because Israel is the apple of His eye and then I fell asleep in the dream and woke up on my prayer couch shivering in fear for the Iranian people and the Middle East. When I woke, I felt that I didn’t come back all the way and that some how I am still in Iran interceding. This is an airy feeling. The Lord has quickened in my spirit to start 24/7 on Face Book and gather the generals of intercession appointed for this hour. And within the last 24 hours intercessors with a heart for Israel and the people of the Middle East are not only coming forward in faith, but they are sharing with us how the Lord has been waking them up at night to tell them to sound the alarm and to blow the shofar
Why did I write all of this in lieux of what John Paul Jackson wrote. It wasn’t all about me it was about Jesus and what He wants to do through mankind in this hour, if we let Him for “The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent/vigilant take it by force. And the force or tool is through constant prayer/intercession and worship.
Prayer is a life line to the heart of the Father and the bowels of His Mercy,
In His Mercy,
Shirley C.

Hi John Paul:) we so loved your video! The walk through enables others to see the building who other wise couldn’t as well as showing others what you and Streams Ministries are all about WOW! REALLY COOL!
I have been praying a lot as I’m sure others have also for the signs for Streams Ministries since you told us all about them. To be honest THE HOLY SPIRIT has put this heavily on my heart and in my spirit ever since class. Then you sent out this video…
At the request and direction of THE HOLY SPIRIT, I have forwarded this to one of our friends who own a small sign company, they are called Mooring Signs..as well as to some other businesses that we know of for donationS and we will continue to water and saturate this in prayer that others will do the same
The HOLY SPIRIT says to tell you, you WILL have your signs.
THANK YOU DEAR GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER GOD FOR PROVIDING THESE SIGNS FOR YOUR CHOSEN BELOVED, JOHN PAUL JACKSON AND THIS MINISTRY, STREAMS MINISTRIES.

Happy Birthday, Shaun! I praise God for the giftings and calling upon your life on today, and for Him revealing His mysteries to you daily. You are truly BLESSED and I am blessed to know you through this blog
Last night I couldn’t tell if my computer had “sent” that birthday message to Shaun so I typed it twice.
Linda
Shaun, just accept that this is the year for “double” blessings.
Dear coffee talk family, It is my undrstanding (I think!) that this isn’t the place for getting a dream interpretation, but because of the dream Shirley had I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to go with this one (the only one I think I have had that may mean something) I had it several times beginning at age three, I am now 58…but the feeling Shirley was talking about…sick in her stomache…eeriy…accompanied this dream, every time. I was in a concrete bunker type room, painted blue, sitting at a childs small round metal table in child size chairs, me in one and my real Dad in the other. There was a small vase with a couple of fragile flowers in the center of the table…everything felt fragile…in one corner of the room was an old wood and glass phonebooth with what looked like a missel or a bomb(like gets dropped from a plane)standing upright and rising in it. I was too young to know what a bomb was, and like I said, I had this several times and I refelt the feelings when I read Shirley’s dream. No one has ever told me what,if anything, this may mean…but I compleatly agree with you all about the urgency of prayer…how to shake this anxious feeling in my gut is something I am struggeling with though…and just how to pray,being a bit new in this arena…I don’t feel like a giant in the faith…it is the “little child” kind that you have alluded to that feels the closest to what I am sensing. THANK YOU ANYONE WHO CAN SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS…OR DIRECT ME TO ONE WHO CAN. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, AND ANY PRAYER FOR DIRECTION. I SO WANT TO LEARN MY HEAVENLY FATHERS WAYS. YOU ALL AND JOHN PAUL ARE SUCH BLESSINGS…BE LOVED, BELOVED! FROM MY HEART,SYDNEY.
Well i’m no expert… (Famous last words!!!)
Sydney,
From a Christian to Christian perspective:
I believe God has called you to be a prayer warrior from about the age of 3. The bunker symbolizes “hunkering” down in your prayer closet. The fragile things represent a precious heart that is reavealed to The Lord through intercessory prayer.
Its a call to prayer and intercession.
On top of that you grew up in the Cold War era so you probably sensed the anxiety of that time period from your parents which may be part of the reason that particular symbolism was given to you from God.
Now all that being said i’m not part of any ministry so take all opinions in moderation.
Sincerely,
Shaun Brehm
Woooow, Shaun! Woooow, Sydney! Shaun I think your analysis was right on point–that would explain why Sydney felt such urgency when reading Shirley’s post–because it dealt with intercessory prayer for the nations! I praise God for the gifts in both you! Thanks to all three of you for sharing
God is GOOD 
Nancy, how is your grandson doing now?
Maybe we don’t have the choice to depart from God once we have known him. Or, maybe it is just that people’s prayers really work. My husband says watching my relationship with God is like watching a ping pong match. However, I’d love to stop being a ping pong. It’s a bit flaky if you ask me. I would rather be one of those fuzzy velcro balls that sticks in one place.
Anyway, perhaps being faced with so much doubt is to take me so low as to realize I have no ability in myself to do what I’ve asked for. In any case, whatever is going on, it seems fairly intense and I feel mostly out of control…a ping pong. Relationships with people and God are the velcro to hold you somewhere I suppose.
Now things are more critical and healing more necessary than ever before. I have tried for so long to figure out why I’ve asked for a gift of healing and then been given my daughter with her conditions but that all flies out the window when her life hangs in the balance. I must ask God again because he is my only hope for her. She is very sick and was transported by ambulance to the nearest Children’s hospital in the middle of the night. She has double pneumonia possibly by aspiration. This is very bad considering her conditions and age. I’m haunted by one of her caretaker’s comments that over half of the students in her classroom at school don’t make it to their teens. It will either be a miracle or it will be nothing for her.
To Sydney:
That was a wow, wow, wow kind of dream for such a time as this
I believe that Shaun has given you an excellent interpretation regarding the call to intercessory prayer. You are one of God’s watchman appointed for this time. We have a 24/7 prayer group chat room and page on Face Book if you are on Face Book stop in and pray with us, we would love to have you. In fact our sister, Linda here, a few people up from us,…..is one of the prayer warriors. “Hi, Shirley here,:) Linda how’s it going up there, I hear the weather is fine, a big wave from me at the bottom of the page…Glad you came over to our house a couple of nights ago…lol :). Back to Sydney; so when Linda came over to the chat room, there were 2 Pastors in the room, one from Uganda and the other from Pakistan from different time zones, praying in real time at the same time..they were saying good morning and we were saying good evening…..minus the jet lag. it was wild in a GOD kind of way 
Well anyway hope to see you in the Chat Room. Here is the link:
http://www.facebook.com/JPJFanPage?ref=ts#!/home.php?sk=group_164901563534496&ap=1
See you There
Bless you,
Shirley C.
Dear Shaun, thank you so much for your take on this weird dream of mine that has mystified me for most of my life…the weird part is that, I recently thought it might have something to do with Iran, I even mentioned that to my mother last week…then with ShirleyS dream, the common “feelings” ie.egg shells, sick feeling in my stomache, she said “airy” which I took to be eeriy etc. Anyway, I have always wondered what it means to actually “live” the Kingdom…as opposed to “talk” about it only, and this blog has been the only tangible link I have “stumbeled” upon that could help one learn what that cuold look like. This is what has compelled me to even bring up the dream…and I can see how The Kingdom would include praying for those precious hearts you alluded to…possibly those are who are walking on egg shells even today…and the bomb in the corner may be what they face every day. The part I’m not good at is connecting the dots…I don’t like riddels…hopefully though,through this blog and the help of the Body I can come to see them as mysteries, and that part of The Kingdom I’m learning is a good thing. THANK YOU again for taking the time and care. Sincerely, Sydney
A few days ago I got a message from Shirley telling me she had signed me up for a prayer group on Facebook.
It was tremendous the other night praying with people around the world.
This was my very 1st “chat room” experience. I had never been in a chat room before–I thought I was on the edge participating with this one and only blog. (Coffee Talk)
The other night a young man prophesied to me and said I still have a lot of fire in me and God was not through using me in my old age…
I didn’t know that I was looking old all of a sudden.
This prayer chat room is not taking anything away from Coffee Talk…Keep the conversation going here and John Paul keep the tremendous word flowing.
Enjoy your weekend!!! Hope the services in Florida are blessed by your message, JPJ!
Love y’all,
Linda
John Paul:
I agree with Linda regarding not taking away from the “Coffee Talk Blog”. WE’RE JUST ENHANCING IT AND WHERE WE GO WE WILL BRING YOU & THE “COFFEE TALK BLOG” WITH US, LOL
Yes, ALL’ Ya’ll where in this Kingdom thang together :),
Blessings,
Shirley C
Hi Laydownyourcrown
Thank you so much for remembering my Grandson, He is doing much better now, he is home and The Healing Hand of FATHER GOD is powerfully upon him. Constant soaking prayer over him is being done.
We have a little monitor that we purchased that monitors his oxygen as he sleeps. We will see how he does if he gets any fever, FATHER GOD says, that he is alright and will continually be alright. I am so grateful for all the prayers that everyone prayed for him. I would ask to still continue to soak him in prayer that his immune system be strong and mighty:)
Healing comes in all different forms….there is not a day that goes by where THE HOLY SPIRIT doesn’t show me something new and different as is the same I’m sure for all of ya’ll.
Sometimes the healing power of FATHER GOD comes quickly, supernaturally, other times it is gradual, other times it is through doctors, and then there are those times it is HIS voice saying, “NOT YET”…with these “NOT YET’S” is when our faith is stretched to the limit and the purging of ’stuff’ removed from us takes place.
That is the time that we draw close to HIM, not to run away or give up on HIM. When things don’t work out the way we want them to, it is so much easier to roll over and say “I’ve had it, nothing is working, here I am devil, go ahead and attack me.” Why is that?????
There is this little nugget that THE HOLY SPIRIT reminds me of all the time;
There is this husband and wife that have been married for many, many years. The husband loves his trucks and when he buys a truck he makes sure that the seat is all one, not split up in twos so his wife can sit next to him.
When they were younger and so much in love, the wife would always move over close to him and sit next to him in the truck, as they got older, still in love, but used to each other, the wife no longer would make an effort to sit close to him, she would just get into the truck and sit on the passenger side even though the husband always makes sure that there is room for her to sit next to him in case she decided to.
One day as they were riding in the truck, the wife looked at her husband and said, “Do you remember how we used to be so in love that we sat next to each other all the time?”
The husband looked at his wife and said, “Yes,I remember,” and then he looked at the empty seat next to him and said, “Sweetheart, I’m still in the same place, I’ve never moved.”
The wife realized that it was she who was the one who made the decision to separate herself from the one she loved and adored so much, she then moved over and sat next to her husband, and…….every time now that they get into that truck, she makes the effort to sit next to her husband.
MY HEAVENLY FATHER GOD says to me, “NANCY, I HAVEN’T MOVED, I’M STILL IN THE SAME PLACE…IT IS YOU WHO DECIDES TO PULL AWAY FROM ME AT TIMES, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU STICK WITH THEM ALWAYS.”
Thank you DEAR GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER for your healing power and love….all glory goes to you DEAR LORD…
PSALM 113:1-4
1PRAISE the LORD! Praise O servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD.
2Blessed be the name of the LORD. From this time forth and forever.
3From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
4The LORD is high above all nations; HIS glory is above the Heavens. IN JESUS HOLY NAME, AMEN
One of Those,
Your post sneaked into this blog. I make copies of the blog so I can ponder what everyone says. You were not on my copy, but I found you on the computer screen this weekend between laydownyourcrown and Shirley.
I was thinking about you and even tried to bring up Caring Bridge where you were keeping a journal on Emily.
Keep on being persistent and don’t give up for the miracle to come!!!
I think Nancy had some good words for all of us and hopefully they touched you as you read this.
Daddy God, I pray for strength for One of those and her husband. I know it seems that they are drained emotionally and physically having to be strong in their faith for their daughter. Let them just give her to you–and in their weakness- YOU be their strength.Help them to step over into the place–your glory realm–where there is no sickness. Help them tap into it. It is not by works–but through Jesus–that the healing comes. Help all us us in our unbelief–to believe YOU.
Love,
Linda
To One of Those:
Our mutual friend and sister Linda, sent me an email last night regarding Emily and we brought it to prayer in our 24/7 group chat on Face Book. As soon as I posted it a, Pastor from Uganda appeared in the chatroom and agreed with me in prayer for a mighty move of God in Emily’s life. I left it up on the chatroom, so when the morning crew came on this morning, they new to pray for Emily and they did. So be assured that your prayers for Emily are going up to heaven and touching the heart of Yeshua as believers from all around the world are coming into agreement with one another for God’s will to be done in her life. She has such a beautiful smile that warms the heart.
Could this be a part of advancing the Kingdom of God and Heaven coming to the earth at the same time. We shall see. Thank you Lord for the more 
In His Wondrous Name,
Shirley C.
P.S.: Thanks lovely Linda for the thumbs up!
This is making Dad very happy
11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matthew 11:11-12, NKJV)
This says right here that since John began preaching the Kingdom, people have been anxiously awaiting for the Messiah to come and bring it to fruition. Others, like the Pharisees have violently fought against it, thus imprisoning John( but as JP mentioned, Satan unknowingly released Jesus lol).
16 “Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.(Luke 16:16, NLT)
When Jesus was released He ended the time period from Moses to John we’re mankind was in bondage to sin and couldn’t enter in. Up until then, John was the Greatest in the flesh. But praise be to God, in the Kingdom (under grace by the Spirit) the least person is greater than anything deemed perfect in the flesh–WHOA! Now wonder Jesus said everyone was eager to get in
And He would begin to walk it out and show it through Himself and those that followed Him. Jesus I am indeed eagered!
P.S. Thanks for sharing the story, Nancy. It was a real comfort, especially during times of trial when you want to give up. I will hide it in my heart
Also, One of Those happy to see you’re back! I’ve been praying for your little girl
I’m glad to see that God healed her, so that she can go home. I agree with Linda, don’t give up! And blessings on the new baby (your quiver is definitely full lol) 
Up Praying for beautiful Emily……
In HIS hands,
Nancy
Hi Gang:
Well it is that time of year for having an excuse to “stuff” ourselves, enjoy friends and family, watch football games, shop till we drop, etc.
Hope all y’all (even in other nations) remember to sing praises and give thanks everyday to our Heavenly Father.
I’ve got a Thanksgiving card for you:

Thanks yall….scares over
oh, and Nancy, if that time is correct (3:59 am) when you were praying for Emily, we were also up trying to help her breath. That is typical for us to be up much of the night holding her or sitting her up in a chair to help her breath (along with feeding a 6 week old
). But, she seems to be over the pneumonia or whatever that was. She’s back to the ‘normal’ difficulties breathing.
Hi John Paul
Of recent times, i have had alook at your perfect storm prophecy. While i think manu of the things you have mentioned have considerable merit, I find it challenging to believe that this period of Judgment is seasonal as you have suggested. For example where you mention that the father is going bring many calamitous weather events and earthquakes and then it going to disapate, thereby infering that this judgment we are in is seasonal, i just find it difficuilt to get my head around such a theology….can you help me to understand.
I must admit I have had a number of visions myself of recent years so have a motive to believe them to be true, from God.
You also talk about a Islamic agenda to get a Muslim President by 2024. Frankly I just find it difficuilt to understand how God will judge such as is written in Matt 24 then he will back off again and life will return to some degree of normality. What is it that makes you think in such a way?
Be Not Ashamed
walk with me awhile into the night,
let me show you the
violets - deep purple basking in the
moon light like
ladys
let me show you the still pond reflecting the piercing stars
unashamed
and your skin as if it were
on fire
in the twilight
walk with me awhile into the night
let me show you the
earth as it was before
the separation
walk with me awhile into the night
let me show you both the darkness
and the light.
Vincent–
This is a beautiful poem!
Sounds like Jesus is wooing us!
Enjoying the romance,
Linda
Shalom I was listening to one of your videos..I dream prophetically..earlier this year i had 2 dreams I saw a big tidal wave hit the city of New York where the tall building were. I saw one wave hit and then the sun came out after that another large wave hit, and the water was almost as high as the buildings.
I have dreamed of Chicago things happening there, and last month I heard the Lord say ONE YEAR OF RECESSION. I knew it had nothing to do with me being in a Recession because of what he has told me personally, but in the dream it was for this country this is what I felt in dream. I have not been given any date of course but I feel something is brewing. He shall protect those who love and walk with him as he did with my ancestors the Hebrew being delivered from Egypt. We need to be ready to help others they will be seeking God.

The KINGDOM DEALT IN DETAIL IS THE BEST ILLUSTRATION I HAVE READ THUS FAR
A DIFFICULT TOPIC BROUGHT WITHIN OUR UNDERSTANDING.
WELL DONE SIR MUST HAVE BEEN REVELATION FROM THE FATHER???
Thank you John Paul , our Father always has a perfect plan.
When i first saw you on Joni Lamb and heard that your ministry somewhat pertained to dreams and the intepretation of them from a Christian view I was very excited yet very disappointed that you dont speak of the very fact that (I still am not sure how ALTHOUGH I suspect) by way of demon spirits ertain people have the abklity to enter
Thank you. The Scripture is Matthew 13:33.
Sorry about that
