Jurisdiction by Shelly Mathis

Jurisdiction
by SHELLY MATHIS:

I had a vision of an officer of the law dressed in uniform and belted with weapons. He was standing in the center of his assigned jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction:
  • The legal power or authority of doing justice in cases of complaint; the power of executing the laws and distributing justice.
  • Power of governing or legislating.
  • The power or right of exercising authority.
  • The limit (boundaries) within which power may be exercised.
He knew the laws of the land and was appointed to execute them. He was trained to discern those who violated the law and empowered with authority to arrest and bring them to justice. Thus he was equipped with all the training and tools he needed to fulfill his commission; however, the officer seemed to be paralyzed or asleep on his feet while the criminals wreaked havoc about him.

I heard the Lord say, “You, My people, are like this officer. You possess jurisdiction – the power of governing – your body, soul, spirit, and all that lies within the realm of your responsibility. You know My Word and by it can discern between good and evil, truth and error. The Holy Spirit Himself dwells in you, and you are empowered with My authority. Your commission is to exercise it over every work of darkness that seeks to invade your jurisdiction.

“And yet the enemy has convinced many of you that you do not have the ability to identify, arrest, and execute My judgment against him – and thus make him stop. This lie has emasculated your spiritual power and annihilated your threat against him. I am awakening afresh those who have been paralyzed and calling you forth to remember your spiritual identity. Do whatever it takes to convince yourself of the reality of your delegated authority. Learn it, practice it, and exercise it to remove the enemy from your areas of responsibility. This personal revival will act as a trigger that will generate the breakthrough you have desired and needed to defeat the enemy’s attacks against you. That is your commission; do the work!”

Luke 9:1-2 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,  and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

Be Of Good Cheer!



So many are going through the fire right now and it is not an easy place to walk. Believers are battling to come into what the Lord has for them, waging war and at times it seems the enemy is winning but we know that is not the case.  We need to stand our ground and not waver and this is where it becomes difficult.  Many are lacking natural strength and can just not do those things that are needful.  We need to pray for reinforcements to be sent in and be willing to take the help needed to get the little jobs done.  There is a much bigger picture than each one of us. Many are still in the process of becoming the mature sons of God. It is the body working together to bring in the harvest and see the Kingdom of God established in the earth that is the bigger picture. 

These trials are not pleasant but necessary as Father God is working in us a far more eternal weight of glory. The sufferings of this present time are not really much in the light of the greater glory!  Praise His Holy name!  Jesus is in control though at times when we see all that is taking place in this world we can wonder and feel insecure.  Our security is in Christ alone and not in this world system that is crumbling, decaying and totally falling apart.  One just has to turn on the evening news and hears no good thing at all.  We need to turn our hearts to God's word and be encouraged and refreshed and it is there we are anchored in Christ, fed and given wisdom and the ability to go forth in the power of His Spirit.

Much is being written in the name of the Lord but we need to hear Him.  Too much reading of everything that is being spoken, and written can cause confusion in your life.  We need to be selective in our reading and hear from God ourselves.  Yes, God can and will speak to you if you will take time with Him.  You are not following other ministries but following Jesus and so need to spend time with Him to grow in being one of His followers, for there is a cost in being a true disciple.

Standing for truth in this hour will cost you everything but is worth the price to be a speaker of the truth of His Word in love.  Let us be willing to pay the price and come out of this worldly system.  Much of the church system is still the religious system of this world but when God tells you to move, you with His grace, will find heart to do so and will be better off for it.  The wilderness is necessary in our lives and it is just for a season.  

Yet, who would you rather please, God or man.  I want to please the Lord and it is your heart's desire too!  Let us not quit, nor faint when going through these fiery trials but get closer to Jesus and let Him wrap His loving arms around you.  He will not fail you and truly understands the language of tears so cry out to Him.  Let Him do a perfect work in you for in the days to come you will be thankful that you are anchored firmly in Christ. 

Again, do not feed on all that is around you but feed in the Word of God and yes, read other prophetic words but judge them according to His Word and when in doubt, put them on the back burner and wait for confirmation.  Do not rush to be a part of all you see and read online for it will confuse you.  Instead come back to the foundation of His Word, spend time with Jesus and in all ways acknowledge Him for He is the one that will direct you path.

In times He will open the doors that should be open and shut the doors that need shutting. Be willing to be changed, and have your world to be turned upside down for Him.  Friends change, ministries change, and we are changed in the process to be more like Christ.

Be of good cheer, Jesus said, for I have overcome the world.

Remember: You must continue to fight! by Henry Falcone

Remember: You must continue to fight!
Posted By: Henry Falcone

My beautiful Bride in waiting, you must continue to fight. You must continue to press through. Don't stop now. Don't get caught in the ordinary. Don't allow the circumstances to stop you from being with Me. You must continue to fight. Yes, many have said this is the "fight of faith, or that is the "fight of faith," but the true fight of faith is, "For he that comes to God, must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

You must press through. You must not stop. You must continue to fight of faith and believe that I AM that I AM! The things around you will not get easier. I warned you that in the last days there would be perilous times, hard to deal with and hard to bear. They are upon you now. The time of all things to be completed will soon come upon the world.

You must contend for that which is most precious. You must not allow the enemy to rob you of abiding in the vine, I am the vine you are my branches. Remember apart from me you can do nothing. You must fight everyday to overcome the "ordinary, the trials, tribulations that come in this life and enter into my Sabbath Day rest I have prepared for the people of God. If Joshua had provided for you, I would not have mentioned another day. So my love, my undefiled one, you must "strive diligently" to enter into that rest.

I am that resting place, and your place is to be fully in Me and Me in you that we are one just as I prayed and recorded by John. The Father in Me, me in the Father and you and us. Why? So the world would believe that the Father loves you the same way that He loves me. Why? So they would believe that the Father sent me to save the world.

It is time for you to come to full grown maturity. I am about to accelerate this work in those who have prepared themselves and are looking for Me alone. Those who have come past the things my hands provide, or the blessings that I give. But to those who have Me alone as their desire a great expansion is about to come, a great supernatural maturity is going to be released to finish the work I have started in you. And you will be a witness to the Gospel of the Kingdom in every nation and then the end will come.

You must continue to fight for our "relationship" to be what I desire it to be. There many things you must overcome, the flesh, the devil, life as you know it, to press into the Holy of Hollies where you will receive My Glory, the Glory my father said I could give to you, that we would be one.

You must not let the situations stop you. You must not let the family problems stop you. You must not let the affairs of the world stop you. You must not let your job, your home, or anything stop you from being with Me. For I have promised to come and bring you back, so that where I am you shall also be. Today, I want to release a deeper warring heart in you. A deeper spirit in you that will contend for that place I have prepared for you by my side. A deeper love to be with me as I so long to be with you.

I know many of you are battle wearied. Many of you "my loves" have been wounded and broken in this process. Many of you say, "Lord, I can't even lift up my head." "I can't even see a better day." My tender ones, I will never leave you or forsake you and never leave you without the help you need.

I am causing you to go beyond the natural. I am causing you to go beyond your flesh or your own strength and ability. I am causing you to overcome all these things in weakness so you can receive my strength. My strength is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Have you learned what I have been trying to teach you? Are you allowing me to empty you of your wisdom, strength and power. Yes, my love that is what these circumstances will work in you, if you allow my heart and my desires to be your desires. Then you will stop kicking against my working, but you will surrender to it, and I will work my power in your speedily and cause you to grow beyond the years of a natural believer.

You must continue to fight. You must pray and seek me like never before. You must come and dwell in the secret place with me in My Tent of Meeting for there I will give you my love and through my love for you, you will overcome the world even as My Father's love for Me caused me to overcome the world for you. AS I WAS IN THE WORLD, SO ARE YOU!

Now rise up my love, my fair one, and come away with me into the new heights I have for you, but you must contend for it. You must continue to fight and refuse to be defeated. Even if you stumble and fall, get up right away and refuse to lose. Refuse to be defeated for not one weapon formed against you will prosper and every tongue that rises up against you shall be condemned. If I am for you, says the Lord, who can be against you.

You must continue to fight. You must continue to pray. You must continue to seek me with all your heart. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Remember, you must continue to fight!

Invest In The Kingdom Of God

INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Many things have shifted in this new season.  Some friendships have shifted and this will position each one in the body as He wills.  Do not resist the change but flow with it.  Many friendships will be better and more Kingdom oriented as a result.  Those friendships that were not for My kingdom purposes will fall from your life.  Continue as you are led to pray for them but do not try to hold on to them for they will hinder you in the season ahead.  Be aware also of those the enemy tries to put there to slow you down and keep you from doing that which needs to be done.  I am setting my house in order.  Time in My Word, prayer and intercession will bring dividends in the time ahead so take time now to invest in the Kingdom of God.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.  Matt. 6:33 (NKJV)

Apostolic Favor

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Apostolic Favor



redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16


My servants the prophets must redeem their time because the days are evil. No longer will they be
permitted to do that which is not for the Kingdom of God for now is the time to harness the anointing and to those that are willing to forsake all, I will give apostolic favor enabling them to have the help needed to complete their assignments. They will be completed with new zeal, in record time.

Family situations will have new favor that you might have all things done in my Divine order for my precise purposes. You will teach and instruct the body with angelic help and the thoughts will be Divine thoughts downloaded at just the right time. The apostolic and prophetic will be married together that kingdom assignments be fulfilled in less time with energy left over.

Pray without ceasing. Expect the unexpected! Expect miracles! Expect the healing anointing to flow laying hands on the sick, they shall recover. No longer will it be said, God no longer heals for by faith you will believe and even impart to others the healing anointing. Some shall take it to the nations, some into the hospitals and streets of your nation. Expect! Expect! Expect!
