December 27 New Year's ProphecyThe Lord has already been judging the nations this new year. Aren't u glad u r a child of God
and are coming into deeper levels of His glory this year? Yes, as God's judgment of the world
increases this year, more of His glory will fall upon His children and we will see more lost brought
into the Kingdom than ever before. A greater outflowing of wisdom will come upon us as His
children, wisdom and discernment. I know I am aware of my need for greater wisdom during
these "perilous times". The Lord told us that we needed to "be shrewd yet harmless as doves".
I pray the Lord's divine purpose will be fulfilled in ur life this coming year and He bring you into
a deeper demension of His glory as you yield to His Holy Spirit's leading and direction. December 24 Words of blessingTo everyone out there, I wish you all a very merry Christ-filled Christmas and that you may truly
come to know the true riches of Christ!  December 22 The giftYesterday at the jail, one woman accepted the best gift of all-Jesus Christ! What an awesomne gift
any time of the year but doin't you think Christmas season makes the gift more meaningful? I was
baptized on Easter morning and I definitely felt the excitement of that season! I was so happy for
this woman, it is always a blessing to me whenever the Lord is glorified but the timing was so perfect!
And then afterwards, another woman came up to me for prayer and said she just wanted to worship
and praise the Lord with me. I was so honored to be apart of that! God is sooo good to me! I hope
to worship Christ with ya'll as we remember His perfect gift! December 20 Christmas storyActually this is a love story written by a dutch theologian, Kierkegaard-date unknown to me:
"Suppose a King loved a humble maiden. How was He going to win her love? How could He declare His love for her? He was so powerful every statesman trembled; His strength could crush all
opponents. If He brought her to the palace and gave her a crown and royal robes she would
not resist-no one dared resist Him. But would she love Him? She would say she loved Him,
but would she really? Would she live with Him in fear? Would she be happy? How could He
know? If she rode to her forest cottage in His royal carriage waving bright banners, that
too would overwhelm her.
He did not want a cringing subject. He wanted a lover, an equal. He wanted her to forget that
He was a King and she was a humble maiden and to let love cross the gulf between them. For
it is only in love that the unequal can be made equal. The King clothed Himself as a beggar
and renounced His throne in order to win her hand."
My niece calls me a "girlie girl", o.k. so I am-this story made me cry but I sincerely believe untill
we RECIEVE the love Christ has for ea of us, alone-man or woman-and we share in His love
for us, His bride, until we do that-we will never walk in the fullness He bought for us at the
cross! So, let Him give you the greatest gift of all-His love!
Shalom,
Rebecca December 17 The Shepherd's heartThis morning during P&W in church, we were singing "Jesus the holy and anointed One" and
I had an experience that literally shook me to the very center of my being! After this week,
I was (still am) feeling very broken and emotional. I always loved that song and the Spirit really
moves on me everytime I sing it but today He just swept me away and I "felt" His hand covering
my heart! It was an undeniable manifestation of His skeniah glory! I was overwhelmed. Then my
pastor, bless his heart, said he sensed God telling someone that He wanted to get closer to
them. It was like Someone was speaking directly to my heart. Then Pastor Steve spoke on
The Shepherd. I don't think he was planning on giving this message today but he said this was
the way the Spirit was leading. I'm sooo very blessed to have some REAL christians who speak
into my life and Pastor Steve is a true anointed shepherd! December 13 my aunt DonnaShe died last night, she was a diabetic and her kidneys had shut down. She had been sick for years.
She had nine children and one of her sons live down here (She lived in St. Johns, MI) and he is an
aloholic. Today is his birthday, Jim has always felt a deep sense of responsibility for his family. I ask
you all to pray for the family, that this will be the factor in bringing my divided family together and bringng
them to the feet of Jesus. Pray Jim sobers up enough to go to Michigan to the funeral and my mom
will act upon her desire to go back there to meet with family and restore broken relationships. There
is so much more I want to say but I really can't right now...
December 09 Answered prayer-guarenteed!I was just emailing a friend and I said that! Afterwards I'm thinking how prideful that sounded.
Then Christ admonished me and said,"because you are My child, you stand in My Presece forever
and I do guarentee I answer all your prayers. The Holy Spirit is my guarentee." That, my friends,
is the awesome priviledge we have as the children of God-His special favor and HIS EAR to our
pleas and cries! Knowing who you are in Christ isn't pride, it is true humility-saying what God says about you! John the Apostle called himself "the disciple whom Christ loved" and read the psalms and see how David described himself. December 08 The Mind of Christ-part 3I finished up my teaching yesterday talking about being positive and uplifting to ourselves and
to others as well. CHOOSING to think godly thoughts, listening INTENTLY to our Inner Witness-
which some call Our Conscious-we know Him as the Holy Spirit. And as I taught, I felt joy welling
up in me and being released to the women. If there is any place that needs a greater measure
of hope and joy, it is in our jails and prisons. In my spirit, I was laughing at the enemy and all
his evil plans being exposed as I explained Jeremiah 29:11 (God's overriding plans). After I
finished speaking, the women thanked me and some of them said, "we love you, Rebecca"
 Tommorrow is my birthday and those words, I know where a reflection of Giod's heart! What
a gift!  December 03 LIVING STONES OF THE CROSS-POEMI wrote this poem in September of 2004 when the church I was born again in and attended for
11 years closed. The pastor has since moved to Tennessee.
LIVING STONES OF THE CROSS
This is the new wine skins
and this is the cost.
So, what did you come here to see?
Death was swallowed up at the cross!
At the cross, we lost our fears.
We lost the pain.
We lost that victim mentality too,
but just look what we gained!
Rights to stand, UNASHAMED, in His Presence!
Rights to be called THE TRUE SONS AND DAUGHTERS!
The keys of David to open the gatesRights to stand on the ROCK and not falter!
Now, I see LIVING STONES EVERYWHERE!
And agape love has broken through!
And what did Christ build His church on?
So, tell me again, what did I lose?
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?...In all these things we are MORE than
conquerors thru Him Who loved us." Romans 8:35&37
SOAKING IN HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCEThis morning at church, while in a heavily anointed worship time, I sensed the leading
of the Holy Spirit telling me to "sit down and recieve..." I was sensing the tangible
presence but I wasn't "seeing" any visions. I just felt like I was "being poured into...",
like a vessel. I had a sense of being loved and I was attracted to this Presence, it was
overwhelming and tears sprang from my eyes. All I kept hearing in my spirit is "I love you,
this is for you". I heard the singing around me but sensed the Lord did not want that from me
at the moment and I didn't want to grieve the Spirit. I just wanted to "soak this in" because
I understood that life was being poured back into me. I had poured out alot this week and
felt "dry", with nothing left to give!
Afterwards, the message Pastor gave was about seeking God's face! No matter how "spiritually
mature" we get, we still need "DADDY" to refresh our salvation and keep it alive to us.
If I had been the only person on this earth, Christ still would have died for my sin! I have to
remember why I fell in love with "my ISHI" in the first place. December 02 Christmas cards?Yesterday, the first day of December, I already got a cards to all my co-workers and my Nana in
Michigan. I try to get out most of my cards early in December so I can remind everyone early to
not get caught up in all the "holiday rush" and just RELAX and remember what this season is truly
about-GOD'S GIFT TO US=JESUS CHRIST!!! Remembering the love that is reflected in gift giving.
Instead of the "pressure" of that "perfect gift" to impress others. Keep it simple, reflect Christ in you
to the gift receiver. Christ was already the most perfect gift we'll ever recieve!!! December 01 The Mind of Christ-part 2Yesterday, in the chapel at the jail,I taught to 20 women. 3 recieved Christ as their personal Savior and Lord! HALLELUJAH!!!! Another 5 admitted they got "off-track" and recommitted their lives. I just love being part of Christ's restoration program and glorifying Him thru the entire process then these women can go on and
spread the process with their testimonies and their anointings Christ places upon them!
So, yesterday I mainly focused on how you must CHOOSE the thoughts and actions of Christ over our own
fleshly desires. You must choose to renew your mind according to Christ's ways-I used Romans 12:1,2.
Joyce and I use alot of Joyce Meyer's teaching and I was teaching out of "Battlefield of the Mind" with
my own emphasis on staying connected to God thru the SACRIFICE OF PRAISE-just thanking Him for
His goodness even when we don't "feel" like it. It keeps our mind focused on God and takes our mind off
our problems. I added my own phrase-"when praise goes up, the Presence of God comes down!"
God is our Glory and the Lifter of our heads! He is the Lifter of our circumstances also! "Humble yourself
under the mighty hand of God, and He shall lift you up!" |
