change of being with family and friends, the change of routine makes it easy to
forget to exercise your gift. Your gifts and purpose go hand in hand and your
purpose never changes. You are to always be establishing the kingdom on earth,

KINGDOM CAULK
KINGDOM CAULK
Due to the hardships of ordinary life, cracks appear even in the most well constructed structures. Wether they are made of concrete, brick and mortar, or wood, the stress of time and the elements cause separations to suddenly appear, causing a gap. Rather than tear down the building, caulk saves the day by filling in the gaps. It's not the real thing, but it makes things look and feel brand new!
Likewise in the spirit realm, time and circumstances stress people to the point of cracking, leaving large and small gaps in their lives. It is My plan to then turn Kingdom people, into kingdom caulk. "This is where I seek for men and women among My people, people that can make up the hedge, and fill in the gaps in others. I do not want these cracks to destroy these victims of the enemy: but at times I can find no kingdom caulk, especially in the west ." Ezekiel 22:30 Many times the gaps become so wide, the houses self destruct and collapse.
Trauma, caused by death, divorce, rejection and abandonment, are the biggest cause of major cracks in the soul of the human being. The orphans, young or old all suffer major cracks. Whether an orphan, through death or abandonment it matters not, the gap is still the same. The pain only goes away when the gap is filled. If you are a true kingdom citizen "you have My Holy Spirit upon you; because I have anointed you fill in the gaps by preaching the good news to the meek; I have sent you to bind up and fill in the gap of the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty and fill in the gaps of the captives, and become spiritual caulk by opening the prison of them that are bound;" Isaiah 61:1
You are called to be the: dad, mom, the husband, wife, caregiver, doctor, advisor, friend, handyman, housekeeper, that fills in the gap left by one who is missing. Words don't do it, it's your presence they need. Just to know you are there and you will love them with My love and I will use you to fill in the gaps, to restore them to brand new! Just to know you will always pick up the phone, or you will never be to busy for them. Kingdom caulk is very pliable and available to fill any type and shape of gap I apply it to. Kingdom caulk does not say, I am not able to fill the gap, because My Spirits anointing, makes it more than able to fill the gap every time.
I have a lot of gaps to fill today, can I count on you to be My kingdom caulk?

YOU'll FIND YOUR ANSWER***JUST WATCH WHO IS HOLDING HANDS
YOU'll FIND YOUR ANSWER***JUST WATCH WHO IS HOLDING HANDS
Appetite and hunger go hand in hand. Desire and achievement go hand in hand. Attitude and altitude go hand in hand. Laziness and poverty go hand in hand. Millions of precious hours of time are wasted because the hand holding principle is ignored. Why are some of your family, seeking after Me with their whole heart and some have no hunger at all. Hunger is not the issue, it's who hunger is holding hands with; appetite is the problem.
An appetite must be created before hunger develops. A bad taste creates a lack of appetite, so that's where you must start the repair work. "They ran well at one time; who hindered them, that they should not obey the truth? [8] This persuasion did not come not come from Me, the one who called them. [9] remember a little leaven leavens the whole lump." Galatians 5:7-9
You must start by creating a good tasting spiritual food, with your lifestyle, not your words, and eventually their spiritual appetite will be restored and a hunger to taste more and more will evolve into a healthy, mature believer. Above all things do not, threaten, condemn or nag, remember their wounded!
Why can't get your loved one to move ahead in the kingdom? You've coaxed, threatened, embarrassed, and begged and after years, they are still spiritual dwarfs. You are wasting your time again. Achievement is always holding hands with desire. If there is no desire to move off the couch, nothing will ever be achieved. Find out what happened to cause the lack of desire. Find out if their dreams were crushed and hopes dashed over and over, or promises broken. Because hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 They must see something desirable in order to to desire again! Create something desirable and then restore their hope of achieving it, and above all never break a promise to them, even if you have to swear to your own hurt! Psalm 15:4
Do you have a loved one whose goal is to be a bum, and live off the system, flying at a very low altitude. Your wasting your time, trying to change their altitude, because it's holding hands with their attitude. Find out where they got their attitude and start there. Many times its inherited, becoming a second generation welfare recipient is easy, or everything was handed to them and a spoiled child became a spoiled adult! Start by not feeding into their attitude, and there is hope that it will eventually change their altitude. Kingdom 101 is: if anyone will not work, neither should they eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Use your time wisely and exercise tough love, consistently !
All continuing social and economic problems, hold hands with a root cause, do not waste your life dealing with problems. There are far more problems in a single human being, than you have hours to live. Deal only with root problems, which are always located in the heart of man. That's why I only look at the heart, while man, chooses to waste his time looking at the outward problems! 1 Samuel 16:7

I AM WARNING YOU*** STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGE!!!
I AM WARNING YOU*** STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGE!!!
For some of you, the edge is an old drinking buddy, for another it's the street where she lives, and yet others is a website. For some is no more than a deck of cards, or a single joint. The edge is the pre sin thrill of temptation, before the sinful act, better known as enticement. This is not strange because "every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." James 1:14
When they were looking for a driver for the Kings coach, they called for the most skilled in the land and ended up with four candidates. On the day of final trials each competed for the job on a very dangerous section of road on the edge of a cliff. The first thrilled everyone driving the horses at high speed only 3 ft from the edge. The second drove faster only 2 feet from the edge. Then a well known driver, known for his superior driving skill, drove his horses at breakneck speed only an inch from the edge, and everyone was sure he had the job locked up.
But there was still one older unknown man yet to try out. This man was different because he moved much slower and double checked his horses, and his carriage before starting. He did not harshly drive his horses into the dangerous curve, but spoke gently to them, and stayed 10 feet from the edge as the other drivers looked on and laughed. Two hours later he was driving the king coach. Because he loved the king, he was the only one not willing to take any chances with the Kings life! The others wanted a job, he wanted to protect his king!
If you are a believer you carry the Kings Holy Spirit where ever you go. If you love Me, your King, you will not take chances of grieving, quenching, or blaspheming, My Holy Spirit. You will constantly check the condition of your carriage, and horses, that is, your heart and what motivates it. The world has many dangerous areas for the believer, I am looking for those who will tread softly and slowly, listing to the Holy Spirit and staying as far as possible from the edge of the cliff of sexual immorality, bitterness and drunkenness. "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. [13] If you want to drive the Kings carriage, walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying." Romans 13:12-13
If you really love Me, as you carry My Holy Spirit through your journey, on the World Wide Web, your social gatherings, your work place, and vacations, stay as far from the edge as possible. As a matter of fact, "abstain even from all appearance of evil" 1 Thessalonians 5:22 and you will be well rewarded in My kingdom!

WESTERN BELIEVERS ARE NOT READY TO HAVE ALL THINGS COMMON!
WESTERN BELIEVERS ARE NOT READY TO HAVE ALL THINGS COMMON!
The world economy is starting to collapse and the west is so far from the biblical survival guide, that many will parish thinking all provisions will somehow drop out of the sky! There will be those drop down occasions, but that will take more faith than most westerners have. Give, share, and divide up what you have, is directly opposed by the prevailing attitudes of me, myself, and I, which will be the greatest cause of death among western believers. It's my car, my house, my clothes, my money, my food, go get your own! I have to make it last. Get everything you can and can everything you get!
Let Me tell you how kingdom survival works:
When Elijah arose and went to Zarephath, he came to the gate of the city, and behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. [11] And as she was going to fetch it , he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. [12] And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
[13] And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as you have said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. [14] For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. [15] And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. [16] And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord , which he spake by Elijah." 1 Kings 17:10-16
The second kingdom survival method is: All things common. "All that believe will live in community together, and have all things common; [45] They sell their possessions and goods, and part them to all men , as every man has need. [46] And then, you continue daily with one accord meeting in the church buildings, and breaking bread from house to house, each kingdom person eats their meal with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising Me, and having favor with all the people. And I will add to the church daily such as should be saved." Acts 2:44-47
The third is transportation when there's no money. Traveling at the speed of angels, with Holy Ghost assistance will be more common than not. Just like Philip when he came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught him away, that the eunuch, who he just baptized, saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. [40] But Philip was found at Azotus, many miles away, miles in a second, with no plane, and then he started walking, from town to town, preaching in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea." Acts 8:39-40
The supernatural happens at the same time people put love in action and the lives of people mean more than things. When kingdom people are willing to loose their lives for one another, I will step in and do what is impossible for them to do. This kind of love always has the full backing of My kingdom and the heavenly hosts.
Remember: He that was able to gather much had nothing left over; and he that was able to gather only a little had no lack." 2 Corinthians 8:15
The more you divest of yourself, the more heaven invests in you! So make room for Me to invest in you and you will survive the coming collapse!

SATAN AUTHORED THE BOOK ON POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
SATAN AUTHORED THE BOOK ON POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
The term political correctness has only been popular about 15 years, because darkness has increased to the degree where the lawmakers are in gross darkness Isaiah 60:2 and hate the light. Light offends those hiding in darkness, because it exposes them. Thus the law makers make laws, to make it illegal to shine the light on them. Because they have no light, all other faiths can pray publicly and get away with attacking believers. Darkness does not offend darkness. Light never offends light, "therefore to them which believe and walk in the light, I am precious: but unto them which be disobedient and walk in darkness, [8] I am stumbling stone, and a rock of offense, to all them which stumble over My word, because they are disobedient." 1 Peter 2:7-8
Every time you hear of a law suit pending, because someone was offended, just realize that "you are the light of the world, and if your shining in dark places you are also offending people." Matthew 5:14 If you are not an offense, there is no light in you, and I do not know you. If people of darkness, not sinners, but evil people who hate the light, are befriending you, then you are not the light of the world, nor are you the salt of the earth. Sorry for being blunt, but your "good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Matthew 5:13
You have a choice: be politically correct and offend My kingdom, or be politically wrong and offend the kingdom of darkness! If you try to do both, you are lukewarm and you will be spewed out, because no one respects a double talker. Revelation 3:15-17 So today and every day, get up expecting My power to flow through you, knowing that your going to offend someone! And "blessed is he, who is never offended in Me." Matthew 11:6

WHEN YOU SAY, ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD
WHEN YOU SAY, ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD
Do you have any idea what your saying when you make that statement? When you say that, I take you serious and want all the glory for things you have done. However there is usually a flaw your statement, it's the word 'ALL'. All means that 100% of the glory, recognition, and thank you's, go to Me and you are not even mentioned. Think of it: If you worked three days, laying that floor in the church building, nobody helped you, and when it's done, the pastor gives Me all the thanks, and never mentions you once, could you handle it?
If you feel hurt, disappointed, unappreciated, used and start getting an attitude, you did not mean you wanted Me to get all the glory. You wanted at the very least, 20 % of the glory, for yourself. I hear people say so many times, I didn't even get a thank you, which is about 2% of the glory. How much of My glory did they want? They say out of one side of their mouth, "I give ALL the glory to God", yet out the other side, "no one gave me any of the glory, not even a thank you".
I am hard at work on your soul man, to remove this flaw of insecurity. As long as a believer seeks some of the glory, they are not complete in Me. Colossians 2:10 A kingdom person desires only to see My kingdom constructed on earth, as it is in heaven. They daily give their life for the purpose of the Kings glory. You only seek recognition because there is a void that needs to be filled in your life. When one does not realize their value, they seek recognition, to feel valuable and complete. This is an insecurity flaw that runs deep throughout the entire western church. There are thousands of self appointed pastors with this flaw. The title of pastor helps them feel complete. Those who insist on people using their title, have this glory seeking flaw.
Many people come to Me with a worthless view of themselves and My Spirit works continually to show them their intrinsic value. You need to do nothing to have full value in the kingdom. I gave My life for you, My Father commended his love toward you, while you were yet a sinner, and I died for you." Romans 5:8 Doesn't that say it all? This flaw will disappear when you fall in love with Me as you spend more and more time each day with Me. When you realize how crazy I am about you, you will be happy and satisfied with no recognition and Me getting ALL THE GLORY!

MOTIVES *** WHY ARE YOU GOING THERE?
MOTIVES *** WHY ARE YOU GOING THERE?
There are so many believers that are dishonest, it would amaze you. Motive is a product of the heart and "the heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked: no one can really know it? Jeremiah 17:9 If you only knew how many nice things are spoken to people, but they are ugly when you can see the heart motive as I do! Nice words all designed to take advantage of another. Like the smooth words spoken in the garden, "hath God said" or the words you hear everyday, "wow you are so beautiful"! Compliments lavished on the rich while the poor are ignored clearly reveal motives of the heart!
You wonder why the revival of all time has not happened, it's motive. The motive of leaders, wanting their share of the pie. Their name mentioned first, the people filling their building. I see the heart and My Spirit will not call people to surrender to wrong motives. Many sermons are not messages from Me, but picked out of a book of canned sermons that have been preached before. They are designed to flow and impress the people and make the preacher look good. I am never interested in impressing anyone, only saving them from a burning hell. "I came to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10
Most prayers are not answered because of motive, "you ask, and receive not, because you have wrong motives, that you may consume your answer upon your lust for power and things." James 4:3 If I save someone and they go to another church, you don't jump and dance, but if they end up in your church, you shout it from the housetops. This is a clear sign of wrong motive. A pure heart is one that is dancing at every salvation if none go to your church! Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see revival, prayers answered and most of all they will see Me" Matthew 5:8
Always remember, I never lie, My promises are always yes and amen, so if you are unable to move heaven on your behalf, check two things, your faith and your motive. Never forget this: "everybody looks on your outward appearance, but I look at your heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 Listen to My Spirit and your motives will become kingdom!

HUNGER HAS MANY LEVELS
HUNGER HAS MANY LEVELS
When a persons appetite is satisfied his hunger level has been reached and he wants no more food. The reason being, he has reached his stomach's capacity. This is the point where you here a polite, "no thanks I had enough". When a person has been on a lengthy fast, their stomach shrinks and they have less capacity for food and their hunger level is much lower than when they entered the fast.
When a persons prayer time is measured in minutes each day, his spiritual hunger level is very low, and he or she is easily satisfied with one short service a week. If they miss a week or two, they still suffer no hunger pain. You can beg, plead, coerce, and pray for these people, but the truth is they are full and satisfied, and silently reply, "no thanks I've had enough God for this week". They may be saved but have very little capacity for things of the kingdom. They are better known as carnal Christians.
In order to expand your capacity to hold more kingdom truth, you must eat more, and more. No matter how much you exhort a small capacity believer, they must desire a larger capacity, and decide to eat more. The more kingdom food you eat, the more you want. Do not become frustrated with the once a week people, they are full and do not have the capacity to take in any more. Everyone gets exactly what they put into it! If you are only interested in getting through the gates, then a once week carnal life, and 15 minutes a day with Me will work, if hard times do not cause you to deny Me.
On the other hand, if you want to be a one hundred fold citizen of the kingdom, you must become a fanatic about things above, continually "setting your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2
You must become a spiritual glutton, and "seek My kingdom first above every thing else in your life. Matt 6:33.
If you really desire someone to have a greater spiritual capacity, when they seem to be satisfied at the carnal level, make them jealous by demonstrating your kingdom life! Do not choke them to death with more they have a capacity for. "Just let your light so shine before the malnourished believer, that they may see your good works, and desire the meat of My word and then glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
Final note on the pastors dilemma: how do you feed the "more Lord hungry believers" without choking the "I've had enough for this week" people. The answer is simple, offer a verity of meals. In regular services have early dismissals, and after services. During the week
continue to "meet daily with one accord in the church building, and breaking bread from house to house in home groups, eat together with gladness and singleness of heart," Acts 2:46 Soon the hunger will build because love will increase and draw them in to the family atmosphere.

WHEN YOU HAVE TO ASK, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
WHEN YOU HAVE TO ASK, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
You are headed toward the kingdom, as a matter you are not far from the kingdom" Mark 12:34 but you have not arrived yet. The thing that gives it away is, your thinking first, then acting. If you open a bottle of milk and get ready to pour it, the milk does not need to think, what does he want me to be, to quench his thirst. Milk is the only thing in the bottle and milk is all your going to get, when the bottle is tipped.
If someone drives foolishly and cuts you off, if you are a kingdom representative you smile and pray a blessing on them, without asking, what would Jesus do? You do not ask what would I do, if I am already in you doing it. If you are full of Me, when you are tipped by a foolish driver, all that comes out is love, not rage! If you have to stop and thing "ok what would Jesus do here", you are wanting to act like Me, but your flesh is still alive and wants to release rage! You are not fully kingdom yet, but you are not far from it.
If you are not kingdom yet, the best you can do until that time, is act like Me. Only your spouse, kids and closest friends will see that you have not entered yet, because acting is impossible to do 24/7. Acting like Me is good because it is only one step from "abiding in Me, and My words abiding in you, so as a kingdom ambassador, you can ask what you will, and it shall be done for you." John 15:7 I did not say, you were not going to heaven, but you have not yet entered into the kingdom of God yet, where My Father has absolute rule in your thoughts and actions. The place where you have My mind Philippians 2:5 and become a full kingdom citizen and a foreigner on planet earth. As a full kingdom citizen, the only thing you pledge allegiance to is the King and His word.
For lack of a kingdom mindset, in a democratic society you will see very few kingdom citizens, because in a democracy the leader works for the people. The people can change the leader and or his laws if they disagree with them. In a kingdom, the people work for the king because he owns everything. His word is an unchangeable law and must be obeyed. The root problem is in the democracy it's all about the people, and in a kingdom it's all about the king. It's not "We the people" it's "the Great I AM". With "We the people" mentalities you are always questioning if the leadership is leading you in the direction you want to go. A true kingdom citizen never questions the Kings directives, because if the King is happy everybody's happy!
Today and everyday keep increasing your time waiting on Me, soaking in My presence and eventually through the process if spiritual osmosis, you will convert from a democracy mentality and become a full kingdom citizen. Until then keep acting like Me, as My Holy Spirit guides you, because you are not far from full kingdom citizenship! When I was on earth, as a human kingdom citizen, I did not ask My Father what to do, I just did what He did. "I could of mine own self do nothing: as I heard, I judged: and My judgment was always just; because I sought not mine own will, but the will of My Father which sent Me." John 5:30 When your kingdom citizenship is in effect you will no longer ask what should I do, you will just find yourself doing it, and marvel at the new you!
