'Tis The Season...

Usually about this time, I begin praying and seeking the Lord for His heart regarding the New Year.

Christmas has come fast this year, and so has the New Year and so today is the first I've turned my thoughts towards God's word for 2016.  I didn't expect the Spirit of the Lord to say anything to me - these were really my own thoughts...
   -   No prayer
   -   No study
   -   No fasting

... just me, thinking.

But instantly my spirit filled with an impression of the New Year that I had to check in with the Spirit of God and ask, "Is this really your heart for next year?" Or really is this just my hope for my own life?

Nope - the hope for my own life is our Heavenly Father's hope for us all!

Next year 2016 will be a year of RETURN and a year of ABUNDANCE.
You will experience God's Jubilee year of Abundance when you return to the Lord!

Now, in the past I've felt God had a heart for our prosperity and a release or restoration of all that had been lost to us.  But many of us did not receive that release and restoration.  And so I asked the Lord, what is the difference in this "return" and "abundance" and will His people receive and walk in this word next year?

Here is the image my heart saw:  a kind of labyrinth or maze of many doors. (Revelation 3:7-12)

Each part of the maze leads to a door that is unlocked for those who have already received the "Key of David."  We've received the keys, but we haven't searched for the doors or attempted to walk through them - we've just been praying and asking for what's behind them like contestants on the "Price is Right" asking for Door #1, #2 or #3.

But now is the time to RECEIVE that which is behind each door instead of just praying and asking.  How?

• When we RETURN to loving
• When we RETURN to listening
• When we RETURN to learning
• When we RETURN to living
• And When we RETURN to giving

THEN we will receive the ABUNDANCE God has for us through each of these areas of return.

1.  LOVING:

• Love the Lord our God through true praise and worship in spirit and in truth
• Love OURSELVES through forgiveness and an understanding of our image in Christ
• Love our neighbor as ourselves
• Perfecting our love - because as Jesus is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17) 
• Receiving God's love - because perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18)

2.  LISTENING:

• It's time to learn how to hear the voice of God and how He speaks to YOU
• It's time to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to actually guide your life
• It's time to listen to true Prophets Pastors Apostles Evangelists and Teachers. Which brings us to...

3.  LEARNING:

• It's time to really commit to reading the word of God again.
• It's time to now learn how to study the word of God
• It's time to learn how to apply the word of God to your "every day life"
• It's time to walk in the Word of God in your life
• It's time to manifest the Word of God through your life.  Which brings us to...

4. LIVING:

• It's time to live life (John 10:10)
• It's time to live a Godly life (2 Peter 1:3)
• It's time to live life as a light in a dark world (Isaiah 60:1-2)
• It's time to live life walking in your purpose
• It's time to live life walking in power
• It's time to live life walking in peace
• And it's time to life life walking in prosperity! Which brings us to...

5. GIVING

• Malachi 3:7 - return to giving your tithes and offerings and heaven will be opened to you!
• Luke 6:38 - return to giving and others will give unto you!
• 2 Corinthians 9:10 - return to sowing seed and the fruits of righteousness will be opened to you!

When you make the effort to return to love, it will seem as though you are walking through a maze.  Commit to it, let the Spirit of God guide you, don't give up, don't turn back.  And if you do, you will get to an open door of abundant love in your life!

When you make the effort to return to an intimate, personal and mutual relationship with God in which you are not just hurling prayers at Him, but where you are striving to hear and to listen to Him, then you will find and open door of God's power in your life! There is power in your relationship with Him. (Ephesians 3:20)

When you make the effort to return to the Word of God - it may seem like a maze that you will get lost in before you find the door.  But when you do, God will open the door of His word to you! That means all his promises, benefits and His will (Joshua 1:8) as well as the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4) will be an open door of God's abundant word in you!

When you make the effort to return to living the life God intended for you - you will find yourself walking in abundant peace, health and prosperity unlike anything you've experienced before! (3 John 1:2)

And when you make the effort to give, you will find yourself wanting to give up before you find the open door that is waiting for you.  But if you persist and do not turn away, or cease from giving, you will find an open door of Kingdom Economics that will abundantly supply provision, wealth, riches and prosperity!

***Look, I am not just expressing a positive, encouraging word that is based in my own hopes.

THIS IS THE TRUE AND FAITHFUL WORD OF GOD FOR 2016.
But not everyone will walk in this word for 2016,

1. It will take commitment
2. It will take effort
3. You will want to give up
4. The enemy will resist you
5. And it will take a faith you've never walked in before

*** In truth, this is a positive, encouraging word that is based in GOD'S HOPES FOR YOU!

Our Heavenly Father has great hope that each of us will commit; make the effort; not give up; resist the devil and strive to have this word made manifest in our lives.  Be diligent and you will be rewarded - Heb. 11:6

God has a wealth of abundant prosperity waiting for us so that His Kingdom covenant can be established in the earth and through your life for the benefit of this dark, hurting world and to His Glory.

Return to Him and He will return to you great abundance in all areas of your life for 2016.

I pray you this word in your life and a BLESSED and HAPPY New Year for 2016.

Power, love and peace to all -

LIGHT; Illumintation and The Word...

Just today - December 2, 2015 - I have heard two (2) prophetic words regarding a return to God's word:

• Dr. Mark Chirrona in a live meeting on the Word Network
• Pastor Senil in the camp of Prophet Kim Clement

Both have said that in the light of all that is going on in the world right now - from the attacks in Paris, throughout the world and now in reference to the shooting in San Bernadino, CA - God is calling His prophets and prophetesses, as well as His Apostolic leaders and prayer warriors to return to His Holy Word!

Amen! Hallelujah!
Isaiah 60:1-2 - "Arise, shine for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For darkness covers the land; gross darkness the people!"  Jesus is the Light.  Jesus is the Word.  Return to Jesus through His Word and let the light of your illumination shine!

Please read my last two prophetic words to leaders and those called to the office of Prophet - both groups are charged with the mandate to return to God's word!

I am charged, jazzed and energized - this confirmation of God's rhema word by two individuals that I greatly respect is deeply meaningful to me - especially as that God used my prophetic words to speak to me and confirm that I have indeed returned to a study of His word.  But even still, I know it could be more.

Leaders and Prophets: I know you want to be used effectively for the Kingdom of God! To those of you who are credible, legitimate and have a pure heart towards the oracles of God - I beseech you to have that same pure heart and diligence towards the Word of God as well.  When you do, when you return to God's Word, you will see (just as I have in myself) a mighty, powerful, ignited and elevated flow of His prophetic power in you!

WHY is this important?  I see (brand new right now) several specific steps:

• A return to God's word is a return to God's heart for His people and His Kingdom
• This will burn out by the fire of the Spirit any "mix" of law and grace, tradition and false doctrine
• When your understanding of God's heart is pure, your heart to hear His oracles will be purified
• In this purified state, we will be able to see more clearly future enemy attacks still yet to happen
• And when we see them, we are strengthened to battle in prayer to STOP THEM in advance!!!

Spread this word, share this blog to every prophet, prophetess, 5-Fold leader and prayer warrior you know.

Power, love and peace, ya'll -
~Pastor Deidre Campbell-Jones

Prophecy for the Prophets

Not long ago I had a word for the Prophets and Prophetesses who are currently standing in the gap and doing the will of God through their office and gift.  I was able to text a few of the Prophets I know, and I put the brief word on Twitter.

But this word for the office of the Prophet still crops up in my spirit - and is longer and more detailed.  And now, as I've just recently received another word for ministers and leaders, I feel both are aligned and I must put them in writing for a larger audience and a wider audience potential.

PROPHETS:
Currently, the men and women of God who receive His oracles and His Word from His mouth to theirs - are under attack of the enemy.  These attacks are not your everyday, run of the mill attacks.  These are specific, individualized and severe attacks.

When I say specific and individualized, what I mean is that each one is being attacked in a way that is severe for that person.  One attack of a $1000 debt may not seem as severe as the well known prophet who is battling for his life.  Or one prophetess who is being attacked in several - even multiple - seemingly small areas all at once may be just as severe to her as is the attack on another well known prophet whose ministry is being bombarded with devastating lies and accusations launched entirely by the enemy.

Now, there are those who have walked in the office of prophet who have turned away from their calling, or fallen to depression or sin, or who are weak in their faith and their trial has been ongoing.  They are not the ones to whom I am speaking.  Their trials are a result of walking outside the will of God and the covering of the Lord.  They have left themselves open to the enemy and have been suffering the results for over a year now.  These prophets and prophetesses deliver a false, or hit-and-miss word that is labored to come forth.  They are struggling in the flow of their gifts in the ways they are used to flowing.

To these prophets and prophetesses the Lord says, "Repent.  Turn away from the temptation of sin.  Do not grow weary in well doing.  Weariness is a choice.  Choose instead to return to my word: My written word - the bible.  Delight in my Word and I will delight in delivering unto you my clear, untainted rhema word again.  Your own sin or weariness or the thorns and thistles of life are choking out my clear, untainted word - muddying it's truth, power and effectiveness.  Return to my Word, and return to my joy - for my joy is the strength of your life.  My joy is the strength of your word.  My joy is the strength of your ministry and My joy will be the strength of your prosperity in all areas of your life, your gift and in your victory over the enemy."

Then, there are also those who are called to the office of prophet, and know that they are, who either have rejected their calling or have warped their own calling through the ways of the world.  These are indeed not necessarily suffering from either an old trial or a new attack.  The enemy is quite comfortable with their choices regarding their calling and - he even keeps some of them deceived into thinking they are actually in the will of God, by staving off their attacks and possibly even bringing false blessings into their lives.  I am not speaking to these individuals as well.  These individuals are feeling good, possibly even blessed as well - but their word (if they give it) is false.  It is worldly advice.  "It is not of Me, says the Lord.  They are not even positioned to hear Me.  The enemy has them deceived and feeds them their words in a voice that seems as mine.  But he is a false light, a liar, the father of lies and there is no truth in him. Therefore, there is no truth in their words."

To these would be prophets and prophetesses the Lord says, "You too must return to my written word - the word of the Bible.  I have much to teach you about hearing from me but you will not learn the lessons from any other way but my written word at this time.  Do not turn away from your pastors in rebellion.  Do not turn away from my written word in rejection.  Yes, the Spirit of truth will teach you all things and bring all things to remembrance.  And yes, you have possibly been in the position to hear my word before, but there is a new time.  There has been a new shift.  And the enemy kept you deceived and you did not shift with my people.  But the time is not too late.  You can return to my word, learn of me through my word, through the pastor that I will give you from MY heart.  Trust me in this, at this time and you will be able to trust in receiving My true word once again."

And so, this word that I have now for the Prophet and Prophetess who has been in the word, who has been true to their calling and who have been true to the ministries God has given them - to these in the office of Prophet, "you are under an attack of the enemy, greater than you've known before, in direct measure of your ministry and the success of your word.  The enemy has seen the light of your rising and like Jezebel intent on destroying the word of the prophets by killing them, so too is the enemy attacking you to discourage, kill and choke out the true word of God in you.  These prophets are persevering in the fight - and fighting the good fight of faith.  Their rhema word remains true and clear - although some be labor to hear that word more than they ever have.

However, these you can know are under attack because their knowledge of my written word is as hit-and-miss as the prophets who have stepped out of My will, says the Lord your God.  You must take care not to mix law and grace at this time.  You must be careful not to mix false doctrine at this time.  You must take care not to preach from traditionalism particularly at this time.  And most of all, though your study is true and accurate - it was accurate for a prior dispensation of truth.  The enemy has used your mix to weaken your faith and he has slipped in through your weakened defenses, like a breach in the wall of protection around you.  My Word, My written word is a hedge of protection around you.  Now is the time to recheck and double check with ME, says the Lord your God, on the word you knew as true.  It is not that My written word and the revelation you had is false now, but I want you to come closer to ME and receive a fresh and deeper revelation of an even greater truth that is for this time and for this day.

I have shifted.  There is a new time.  And there is a new word for this time.  Do not be so fervent and stuck in your current truths; do not be too proud in your current speeches, do not be so entrenched in Social Media that that you speak a word of previous power that is no longer relevant to this shift in power, time and revelation to the church.  I, the Lord your God change Not. and neither does my Word.  But I have a length, breadth and depth of my word that you know not and the time is now.  Return to my written word, return to my study, return to intimacy with Me. I am a Jealous God and my name is Jealous.  And I am Jealous of your time on Social Media, saying what WAS true in me so passionately, or saying what was so passionately true in the church that was not completely of Me, instead of learning what IS now so passionate in Me for today.

Return unto me and your proximity to the bright light of My Glory once again will burn off the attacks of the enemy on your life and blind the demons that plague you so that they cannot even find you to attack any longer.  You will not have to fight in your usual manner, no hours of spiritual warfare prayer, begging Me in the spirit.  Just rest in my word, draw near to my Glory and let me fight these battles for you as you draw close to my written Word.  Then as you do, what you learn and what you study will prepare you for the shift I have waiting for you.  My daughter writing can attest this is true, says the Lord your God."

Oh... well, praise the Lord.  I had no idea of that last part.  But I just write what God gives me.  And yes, I have drawn closer to His word in my own trial and the attacks are falling away.  I do expect full victory, and the full manifestation of the miracle and breakthrough I've been praying for an have sown seed for. And so, I will receive this word as well, in Jesus name, Amen!

Please send me your testimony! For we overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony... amen?  Amen!

SHIFT!

I had a dream on Oct. 29th - if you've read my Twitter or Instagram around then, you have seen me make a reference to it.

In this dream I was driving on a kind of highway - the surroundings were a vague mix of the outdoors and a few indistinguishable man-made buildings.  There were 4 or 5 lanes of traffic.  I was towards the left, but not in the outer lane. There were several cars ahead of me in the lanes around me - except for the lane to my closest right.  Some were big cars, some not so big - mine was small, but there were 3 people in the backseat.

A push came, like a wind, but not a natural wind.  No one else was affected by it.  And it shifted me smoothly into the lane next to me with no other cars in it.

I HAVE BEEN SHIFTED.
The car I was in represents my ministry; the people in the car are the leaders that will come along side me - and the shift into the empty lane is the direction my ministry is going.  The road in which we travel to get there will be in a "lane" no one else is traveling in - but it is still according to God's will.

In the interpretation of this dream, the Lord gave me this word for His Ministers and Leaders today who are in Him; following their calling and doing the true work of the Lord:

• You are moving in the direction of God's will
• You are following your purpose accordingly
• You may be aware of a shift coming
• You may be aware that there has been a shift
• But that does not necessarily mean that you have been shifted
• You may need a shift - in doctrine; purpose; administration; leadership or relationship with the Father.

If you do not seek a shift at this time, you may just hinder the greater purpose God has for your ministry.  You may find yourself always looking at the back-end of someone elses ministry who is ahead of you - moving to slow or swerving and keeping you from progressing.  You may even be in danger of an accident - if someone else stops in front of you.  I see the potential for ministries to fall like dominoes - like a 9 car pile-up - if ministers and leaders do not seek the shift God has for them at this time.

Do not be so comfortable in the direction and success of your ministry now that you are either fearful or distrustful of the shift because it doesn't match your traditional doctrines or denominational bureaucracies.

This is a time God wants His people - His 5-Fold leaders, and His ministers - to return to Him.

• Return in relationship through personal prayer and communication. God is Jealous of Social Media at this time! Return to Him! Some of your ministries are swerving out of control because of the influences of Social Media! You are spending too much time there, and not enough time with the Father!
• Then return to His Word.  God is giving fresh revelations.  Some of your teachings are based on traditional thought and understanding and the Father wants to weed these out of your understanding and elevate you to deeper truths for this dispensation in time.  Some of your teachings are based on a superficial study and understanding and the Father wants to tighten these up and bring you to a powerful revelation of what He wants to do in you, through you and your leaders at this time.  Some of your teachings are just plain false.  And now is the time to be brave enough, mature enough and bold enough to be re-teachable and admit the errors of your doctrine.

Are you ready to SHIFT?  Are you humble enough to SHIFT?  Are you confident enough to SHIFT?

I have already been shifted and look forward to more for the sake of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

SHIFT!

Revelation of the Bride...

First... a little backstory:


For a couple of months now, my right eye has experienced varying stages of dimness, darkness, limited and/or obstructed sight.  The least of it - a swirling floater of aggravating dark gray in the center of my viewing line.  The worst of it - a mass of congregated blotches of solid light gray patches that block any information from coming through.  The most of it - a small, whispy swirl of black in the center and a few light gray patches with space for limited sight and a tunnel type vision surrounding.




So, yesterday I asked the Lord for the FAITH needed for my healing.  I did not receive my healing (again) and so I do not know if I received that faith, but I must assume and trust that I did because I know my prayers are heard and this is the confidence I have in, knowing that He hears me, I know I have the petitions I desire of Him.




So, today I asked the Lord for the REVELATION that will manifest my healing TODAY.  I am tired of waiting, praying, crying, begging, pleading, demanding, decreeing, declaring, stating and affirming, analyzing, and then starting all over again - all to no avail - even while knowing that the prayers of the righteous availeth much.




So, after my prayer time today - I came to the place of analyzing again.  Because - yesterday, when I prayed for faith, I was stating and affirming.  But when I woke up this morning with the darkest of the dimness fading like the slow dawn of the morning light into the lightest of the dimness - I put my mind on the word of God and thought:




"The light of the body is the eye." Luke 11:34 - it is the darkness in the body that clouds the eye.  So, what darkness was still within me?  The darkness of doubt - for sure. 

• And doubt is a form of fear. 
• And perfect love casts out all fear.
• And herein is our love perfected... that as Jesus is, so am I

So, I began to remind myself, and to re-confess who I am in Christ:

• I am the righteousness of God in Christ
• I am adopted into the faith and inherit the promises of God
• I am a daughter of the most high God and healing is the Children's bread
• I am the Bride of Christ

Wait...  I AM THE BRIDE of CHRIST!  And Brides are in love.  Brides walk in the most heightened expression of love in anticipation of the wedding.  The perfect love of a bride's fiancé can cast out all fear of the unknown of a marriage.




Suddenly, I forgot about my eye and the REVELATION OF THE BRIDE dawned on me like the light I was praying to dawn in my eye!




+++++++++++++++
For years now, there has been a word, a phrase and a concept that has separated the traditional church from a new and emerging church that is preparing for the Lord's return.  This word, phrase and concept has separated the cold churches from the hot; the cold Believers from the hot and has been spitting out all the lukewarm in between. (See It's Spitting Time).




This word, phrase and concept is: KINGDOM

• Preachers are preaching the Kingdom of God
• Pastors are building the Kingdom of God
• Believers are seeking the Kingdom of God
• Evangelists are saving souls for the Kingdom of God
• And I am believing for God's Kingdom, Power and Glory to be made manifest on earth - soon!

But a Kingdom mind-set is a last of the latter days mind-set.  Is it a Kingdom mind-set that prepares for the return of Jesus - Thy Kingdom COME, thy will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven.  It is a mind-set that should be preparing for the marriage feast like the 5 Wise Virgins.


Back then... the Bridegroom prepared the marriage feast.  And today, Jesus is preparing the marriage feast of eternity to receive unto Himself a Bride - free of spot or blemish!


But today... Brides prepare for the marriage feast - otherwise known as the wedding.  And Brides today tend to do more thinking about what the marriage than the guy does.  Unfortunately, this is NEVER if rarely anything a Christian or Believer thinks about regarding our relationship with Jesus.


But if you have received Christ as your Lord, Savior and Bridegroom - male or female - the time has come for us to come to a new revelation of Jesus - through the perspective of ourselves (the church collectively and each Believer individually) as HIS BRIDE.

• Brides are wildly in love
• Brides are loving and loveable
• Brides think the best of their Bridegroom
• Brides experience a sense of anticipation, excitement and expectation daily
• Brides are hopeful (Hebrews 11:1)
• Brides are faithful!
• Brides are thoughtful and conscientious about their bridegroom
• Brides anticipate the union and intimacy of the relationship
• Brides anticipate the differences and benefits of the name change (literal and symbolic)

I'll bet you the 5 foolish virgins would have been BRIDEZILLAS!


We pray the prayer saying... "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven."  But the Kingdom of God is come... for a BRIDE not a Bridezilla!


Jesus has betrothed us to Himself and only He knows the date of the Wedding Feast.  But I send you this invitation now.... will you receive the revelation and BE the Bride of Christ?


Power, Love & Peace, ya'll -
