I Can No Longer Be Silent

When….
Depravity is the food of choice
Wickedness is the goal of the day
And perversity is the fashion of choice

I can no longer be silent

When….
My LORD and King is continually mocked
And HIS WORD blasphemed daily
By those who do not respect HIS PRESENCE
And HIS AUTHORITY

I can no longer be silent

When….
I see the lost, the destitute and the broken
Continually drowning in the blood of their past
Bound by the bondage of generational sin
And spiraling uncontrollably toward the pit

When....
My spiritual eyes see the seed of wickedness
Spawning more flesh
And my spiritual ears hear the command of my FATHER

No I can no longer be silent
I choose to speak
I choose to open my mouth wide and
Declare the Glory of God
I choose to say what thus says the LORD

The LOVE I have in my heart for my FATHER and HIS creation
Will no longer allow me to be silent
LOVE is never quiet
LOVE is not afraid to be honest
And LOVE will not mask sin
The WORD of wisdom says
Open rebuke is better than secret love
And the Love of God is neither silent nor secret

Therefore as a servant of the most HIGH GOD
I will speak as HE speaks in LOVE
I will rebuke as HE commands in LOVE
And I will use the KINGDOM WEAPONS of WARFARE
To destroy the works of the adversary which are
Prayer
Fasting
Worship
LOVE
And the UNMATCHED WORD of JEHOVAH!

Prophets of God – young and old
I encourage you to stand on your most HOLY FAITH
And SPEAK!!
Do not be afraid of the rejection
Settle this in your Spirit

YES!
You will be rejected
YES!
You will be accused of not being compassionate
YES!
You will be accused of not walking in love
And YES!
They will try to silence you and throw you in a pit

Refuse to be moved
Refuse to be silenced
Refuse to ignore the beating of your FATHER’s heart
Refuse to ignore the breaking of HIS heart
Refuse the adversary the freedom to continue on his campaign to gather the souls that belong to
OUR KING
Stand up!
Speak!

Choose to be silent no longer!!
Uncover your eyes and see the depravity
Uncover your ears to the whispers in the enemy’s camp

LOVE is not blind
And the LOVE of God redeems what’s lost
It’s time to speak the WORD of REDEMPTION
It’s time for the GLORY of our KING
To cover the land
SPEAK
SPEAK
PRAY
WORSHIP
LAY BEFORE the PRESENCE of the KING
And prepare thyself
For the opening of HEAVEN like never before

Destined to Prevail!

Jeremiah 1: 14 - 19

When one speaks of the word destined or destiny – the word implies that you have been decreed to do a certain work beforehand: your life’s course has already been PREDETERMINE: it also means to designate, assign, or dedicate in advance or to direct, devise, or set apart for a specific purpose or place.

Prevail means to gain ascendancy through strength or superiority: TRIUMPH: to be or become effective or effectual: to use persuasion successfully: to be or continue in use or fashion: PERSIST. The word as translated from the original Hebrew in this text is yakol meaning to be able, capable; overcome, have victory, endure: it is the expression, “they cannot away with you.”

As I take this time to encourage you. I want you to understand that you’re experiencing turmoil, stress, strain, depression, mental breakdowns and failings of your heart because the enemy has not been able to away with you so he wants you to do away with yourself – but that’s not possible because you are destined to prevail.

How can you know that you’re destined to prevail?

1. You won’t be able to run from or fight your way loose from your destiny – Genesis 32: 21 – 28.
2. Your enemies will find themselves prophesying your victory over them – I Samuel 26:22 – 25.
3. Jesus promised it – Matthew 16:18
4. You can be assured of prevailing because of what you’re made out of;
   • Revelation – Genesis 2:5 – 7. Mankind was formed out of the prophetic product of Heaven. In Genesis 1:1 – 22. When God spoke forth let there be – it was a prophetic command and unction from Heaven. It was a word with a promise of manifestation because everything the Lord speaks forth will come to pass – Isaiah 55:8 – 11. Mankind was formed from the dust which was a prophetic product of God speaking forth let there be – For that reason prophetic manifestation and truth is wrapped up in who we are – it is a part of our genetic code. That is why when the Lord called Jeremiah – he assured Him not to be afraid because He was with Him. The true unfailing prophetic was with him from his mother’s womb and not one word spoken from his mouth would fail because it is the spirit and power of the living God that rest in him. After creating man – God breathe the breath of life in man but it also was the spirit of prophesy breath into the nostrils of man – meaning God breath into the man the ability to speak forth – that is why the word caution us that life and death is in the power of the tongue – Proverbs 18:21.
5. You are well able to take this land – take this city and fulfill your destiny because God predetermined it from the foundations of the earth.
6. You can speak your season into existence – much like God in the creation of the Heavens and the earth you must speak into the ground what you desire to come forth;
   • If it’s help for the ministry – speak i
   • Growth and prosperity in the area that will be a blessing to the ministry and your family – speak it. Whatever type of fruit you desire to come forth can and will come forth if you only believe and stand firm on the confession of your faith. Regardless of the people in the area – God will send people from near and far to fulfill the word spoken forth from your mouth. (Go back to the beginning – the place of birthing for the ministry and remember the prophetic word of the Lord spoken to and for you. Remember what He has spoken and begin to work from that point. Work from His first words and trust that. Reclaim the vision and recapture what the enemy stole.
7. Whatever you speak – God will honor because you are the servant of the most High God and you were chosen. James 5

No matter what you’re going through – the Lord wants you to know today that you are destined to prevail:

You shall come through this alive

You shall come through with victory

You shall pursue and recover all that has been stolen and striped from you because you were chosen and hand picked by God to prevail - (I Samuel 30: 7 - 8).

Dwelling in HIS Presence - Abiding in HIS Shadow

Psalm 91:1 - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

This is an awesome verse of scripture because it comes with the expectant hope of great peace, deliverance and hope. Each time I hear this verse or read it, I am filled with great hope because there is much to understand here about the shadow of God.

The word shadow as translated here from the original Hebrew is the word tsel meaning shade, shadow and protection. If we become continual seekers of His Presence and become Presence Dwellers - we have the assurance of His continued protection. In His protection there is no fear of what the enemy can do - there is no concern over the retaliation of the enemy because we are dwelling in God and abiding in His mighty shadow.

In this hour saints of God - it is important to become presence dwellers and shadow abiders. It is important to stay in the face of God because it is there that we will receive the strength boldness and courage to confront the evils of our day. We are surrounded by a cloud of wickedness and perversion; perversion that threatens the very fiber of Christianity because that perversion is being given a voice in our churches, our choirs, our pulpits and our lives. The enemy has deceived many and the only way to escape that deception is to become a presence dweller and shadow abider. It is in the presence of God truth is revealed, demons exposed and unclean behavior illuminated.

Isaiah 6:1 - 5: In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon athrone, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Aboveit stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he coveredhis face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he didfly.And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Thensaid I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips,and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyeshave seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

In becoming one that actively seeks out the presence of the Lord and worships authentically before His throne, you receive revelation and truth. All things unlike God are exposed and He then purges, cleanses and equips us to go forward. Being a shadow dweller means facing the truth about who you really are and it means you have submitted to the process of cleansing purging and preparation.

In abiding in His shadow you have agreed to the terms of dwelling in His presence. Dwelling in His presence means abandoning all of what you know and have learned in your flesh for the truth of His Kingdom, His Mind and His Heart.

I encourage you to become a presence dweller and a shadow abider because there we are completely covered. There we are taught the meaning of true love. True love is sacrifice and in Him we learn to abandon flesh for His glory. In His presence/shadow there is power for us to walk in the miracles of Christ promised by our Lord Jesus... There is so much in His presence. I encourage you to seek hard after His presence. Determine in your heart to be one that dwells in His presence and abides contently in His shadow.

Because abiding in His shadow means that you become comfortable with the thought that no one may ever know your name but they know the GLORY of God being illuminated through your lifestyle. Being in shadow means you become comfortable with the thought of showing love to strangers and those who reject the ways of God for the purpose of showing the enemy what it means to walk in the Shadow of God.

I encourage you this day to become a presence dweller and shadow abider because in doing so you will find there is nothing like it. There is so much there, so much power, abundance, peace and strength. Get there because you are going to need His Presence and His Shadow with you always in these wicked, perverted and evil times.

Blessings

I Am Not A Troubler to the Kingdom - I Am A Troubler to the Adversary

I Kings 18:17 - And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

As I was preparing for my day this morning, this encouragement hit my spirit "you are not a troubler, you are only called that because you dare challenge false traditions and false worship." This encouraged my soul because often I have felt as if I were trouble to God's people and I've believed for so many years our ministry was trouble to God's Kingdom and this city we are in but we are not troublers. I am a not a troubler. We were sent by GOD to this region to trouble the spirit of Jezebel, to expose the spirit of Ahab and to trouble the adversary of our God and HIS people. It is not we who have troubled God's people it is satan.

The troublers are those who continue to suppress and oppress the people with false doctrine. The troublers are those who continue to abuse their authority to damage the hearts, minds and souls of those that are young and ignorant in the LORD spiritually - those that are weak mentally and emotionally. The troublers are the ones who stand in arrogance in the pulpit Sunday after Sunday with no concern or heart for God's people - they are hirelings only there for the money, only there to lead people astray - seduce the women, the men. They have a form of godliness but continue to deny HIS power as they continually quench HIS SPIRIT every week with every programmed, scheduled service and so called Revival. Should they not be revived yet at least enough to be a help to someone else?

Elijah quickly responded to that accusation by declaring in v. 18 or the same chapter, "And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim."

In my years of service here in this region, I have felt the sting of our accusers who have labeled us troublers. But as the WORD of encouragement came forth - I am strengthened to continue in HIS purpose as we've only been labeled trouble because we refuse to bow to ungodly foolishness. We refuse to be silent concerning the necessity of authentic worship and authentic fellowship in this area. And we refuse to be quiet about the foolish traditions and doctrines being passed off as GOD that have nothing to do with the KINGDOM.

And as I meditated on this, I was prompted to ask: Did Elijah run because he was really afraid for his life or did he run because the seed of those words finally settled in his spirit and he felt he was truly a troubler of the people? Just a question. Selah. I don't believe he was truly afraid of Jezebel as he had faced that demon many times. Was he shaken? Yes but I believe the seed of those words took root causing him to doubt his purpose, his position and God's protection.

I too have ran for fear and belief that I was a troubler in the Kingdom and I have often thought to myself - maybe I'm wrong for not walking in the stereotypical role of a First Lady, maybe I'm wrong for preaching the Gospel, maybe I'm wrong for being hungry for more than the man - made traditional foolishness I see in this area that continues to cycle through the churches choking out the power of God and I thought maybe they're right and we're wrong.

Admittedly the pain of this  place has been hard to bear because we've been rejected by many on every hand. And sadly our greatest rejection has been experienced from the Black community which makes my heart sad. We don't receive a lot of invites because we're not holy enough for this church, we sing and worship too long for another and yada, yada, yada. And if we are invited - it's because they want First Lady to sing - I repeat sing: they don't want me to open my mouth to do anything else but sing: "don't preach, don't prophesy, don't open your mouth until we call on you to come to our service and sing, and you better look like what we think a First Lady should look like when you come."

Newsflash, I can only be who God created me to be. I cannot and I will not play church games. Our ministry cannot and it will not play church games. God sent us here to destroy the hold of the adversary - the rule of Jezebel and we're going to do that. And if our obedience to HIS purpose equals trouble - then it's only trouble for the false prophets, false worshippers - and those with a form of godliness.

We are not troublers to the KINGDOM or God's people. All we've wanted to do since the FATHER sent us here was to bring GLORY to GOD, invoke HIS PRESENCE so that we may see people healed, delivered and set free for real. And we shall see that. Just like Elijah saw God's Glory manifested in the battle on Mt. Carmel. And we shall see his GLORY manifested in this region as we battle in these mountains.

We cannot and will not submit or surrender who God has ordained us to be for the sake of fitting into the boxes of those out of touch with HIS SPIRIT for the purpose of being embraced, loved and accepted. We are here for HIS purposes and not our own. We are here to usher in the SPIRIT of GOD so that people can be delivered, healed, and transformed - not receive praise for ourselves and not to gain friends (even though we've been blessed along the way to acquire some genuine ones). We will only go when and where the FATHER releases us and we will go as HE commands. They may continue to call us troublers but we are only trouble to the kingdom of satan and his desperate need to hold on to a KINGDOM that is not his.

And in saying that I encourage you to remain true to who the LORD has called and ordained you to be. Continue to trouble the adversary and continue to speak truth because GOD will prove HIMSELF and HE will fight for you. I cannot express my sorrow enough over the time lost and the tears cried over being rejected by so called saints here in Johnson City and the years I hid in my home broken hearted because I felt like I was wrong for being who I am.

But no more. You are not a troubler if you were commissioned, ordained and sent by HIM with a WORD in your mouth. You are not a troubler if you don't fit the traditional modes of men and you are not a troubler if you surrendered and said "I'll go for your LORD, send me."

The enemy wants to keep the true servants of GOD burdened down with false guilt, shame and sorrow over fulfilling their purpose - we are sent to trouble the kingdom of satan; we are chosen and commissioned to dismantle and tear down the spirit of Jezebel through the preached WORD of God, authentic worship, fellowship and through the application of the BLOOD OF JESUS our LORD through prophetic declaration!!

I know who I am and I assure you I am not a troubler of GOD'S people. I know who I am and I assure you it's not some stereotypical idea of a First Lady (that's just not me). I know who I am...

Who am I? I am a Daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD, Wife to Pastor C. E. Moody, Jr., Mother, Psalmist and I am a Prophet of the MOST HIGH GOD commissioned to Trouble the adversary and his kingdom, to build, to plant, to root out, to destroy, to expose and to decree with the WORD of my FATHER. I am HIS.

Who is Spirit of Elijah? We are a ministry sent forth in like manner of the Prophet Elijah - to Root out the spirits of wickedness, restore authentic worship, restore relationships, restore families and expand the KINGDOM of GOD. We are not Trouble to the KINGDOM of GOD we are Trouble to the adversary.

Who are you? Have you accepted the lie that you are a trouble to the KINGDOM or do you know with all certainty that you were chosen and ordained to be a troubler to the adversary?
