The Spirit of Slumber by Pam Clark

I have been wrestling in my spirit to understand a spirit I have sensed for quite a while, but the spirit seems to be so relaxing that it seemed good! Many have been hurt and wounded by abuses, and stress is a big problem in our nation.

But still, I sensed something not right. And the Lord gave me the name today for it and it is "the spirit of slumber." For many, "all is well in the world, there are no problems, just trust the Lord, because He is going easy on you. He loves you sooo much!"

And He does! And it's true that stress is not good, and unnecessary provocations are not good, and a good self esteem is good, etc, etc, etc! But along with this message is the spirit of slumber, so you will not be awake when He comes! He will visit many times before He takes you away. He is a God who prepares...

People are taking these doses of "medicine" like a spiritual tranquilizer. Don't make waves, go with the flow, and there is a lot of good truth in the messages, but what is happening to so many is a dulling and a numbing that sedates.

People are not arising with new vision or purpose, they are not "hastening the day of the Lord." They aren't getting things that provoke them to jealousy for Him, but they are getting into a spirit of waiting that keeps them "out of trouble" and it numbs them to every day truth!

Some things you have to learn to work with. Even the Bible says that we have to rightly divide the words of truth. It is good not to be overbearing or over anxious. It is good to have a steady hand.

But this "chillaxing", as we say now, is making many dull and causing them to pursue "other" ways and not the Lord! This spirit can creep up on you. It's like eating only sweets and temporarily postponing meals that you need to not only satisfy but to fortify.

We can start "putting off" Godly things and slack off in pursuing Him! There is a self discipline that we all need, that we can't get from another person if we are to go on and mature in Him and stand. Today we have so many extremes and supersizing, that a false bar can be there in the every day!

I see this in my own life sometimes and I think why do I feel so dull and sedate and often you think it's just you, but then I look and see this is something widespread. I see the MANY posts of others and they are just coasting.

A number of years ago Randy Demain called me, and we had never met. I had only then began hearing about his ministry, but I didn't know him. But he had a dream and in the dream, he was told to call me. He had never heard of me at all, and so he sought me out and somehow got my email address and shared the dream.

I can't remember all the details of it at the moment, but this part is coming back to me today. In the dream there was an angel jumping up and down on a bed. At first you think of a child's delight to do that, at least I did. But as I pressed into the Spirit, I realized that the angels were coming to the Church and jumping up and down on the bed to say, "Wake up! Wake up!"

We are a slumbering Church and when in our "peace and safety" and least expect it, trouble comes! Not that long ago again, I prophetically sensed God's displeasure with the American Church. People were talking about justice and right and wrong, but were not pursuing it! Strength was to just be in the hands of the few, not the many. Wrong!

I felt the Lord's correction drawing near, and so often we pray for mercy and He grants it. But this presence of correction was coming in increasing intensity and I really sensed that something dramatic could take place and petitioned the Lord again for His mercy as what I sensed was "not good" for so many people.

When we have blessings and truth and we don't share it, when we have the keys of Life and don't live it and prevent, even by neglect, others from entering in, we incur the wrath that even Jesus expressed was coming when He said "no rock would be upon another" because it was going to be leveled.

In "seeing" this in the Spirit, I petitioned Him for mercy and help again, because I saw His Fist raised for rebuke. I petitioned for the "wallop" to be in parts because one big wallop can daze us to a point that the enemy can come in and take serious advantage of our fallen weakness. I sensed in the Spirit felt reply that He would divide it into three.

These are things that will rebuke our nation and they will not be mild things but will affect many. God knows how to deal with the soul. But even in judgment, there is hope if we turn our hearts again to seek the Lord and do His will.

Many today do not even go to Sunday School, and Christian society has expected the youth (that are now young adults) to just "know" these things. They wonder why there is so much disrespect and affection for death. Well, the reason is that for them it is the greater power! What else do they know to believe???

If there is no correct bone structure, how do you build a body, even if you have the parts? God is visiting people, but without understanding, so much is wasted and wrong parts or non fitting parts are inserted and the structure becomes "something else"! Certainly it is not functional.

We are not pursing the Lord, and we are not living for the Lord or standing up for His ways in our society and sometimes not even in our churches. We can look at how our government operates to see the real strengh (or lack thereof) in our land!

No, instead we are being sedated, and drugs can have an effect on you. The Church is asleep, and the evil lion is crouching, looking for whom he may devour and is expecting a feast from so many different angles. Let us shake off that sleepiness - and it's hard to do when we have taken the "potions" - and find that well spring of Life again within us.

"What sin? There is no sin! Jesus died to take care of it all, so no worries, mate! Just live your life and enjoy it!" And many are, without the fear and admonitions of the Lord. It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed. 

Words from His Spirit by Pam Clark

Jesus loves you, for real!

And I have a word for someone, God forgave you, for real! There are circumstances in this world that are beyond your control. Therefore you will not be blamed for the things that are out of your control. Be free!

Find the path that is for YOUR life! It is not always what other people say it is. My path, says the Lord, is not always seen with natural eyes. No, you can feel boxed in and think that things will always be the same, but they aren't!

Look for the hidden places. Navigation with Me is in the Spirit. Seek Me and you will find Me! Not a certain place, thing or state of "being." Not status or wealth or fame. All those things are in Me, and you want them IN ME, but I decide and determine what is best for your life.

I am not denying you, I am priming you for the Best! If you keep your mind stayed on Me, you will come out on the other side of My Blessing, and I want to give you all that you can contain!

Learn to serve Me by serving My Creation. Say prayers for other's well being and you will be storing a rich depository of blessings that you can draw on later. You may need them for what I offer you later. I am an unending God, and so to know Me means that you must be willing to explore.

If you learn My Spirit and the ways of My Spirit, you will discover much! Like the seasons, I can change my colors but steadfast, I AM.

If you trust in My Life, you will begin to understand even the seasons of change. And even other places have different seasons! Not everything is conducive for one season. Not every plant will grow in one climate.

Learn to please Me, and it will oil the hinges of My doors for revelation that I want to open for you.

If you learn to think more like I think, says the Lord, then more are the worlds that can open up for you!

What Are You Going To Do? by Pam Clark

What are you going to do for the Lord in 2017? Making plans?

The fact that you choose to make plans with God is very good and very important! It is really one of the first steps in navigating with Him. Some wait for something to "happen" to them, and some see goals and hear directives, or choose specifically to offer themselves to Him.

It is not a passive thing, because the passive often gets bypassed! You have to consider your soil. Is it hard ground, rocky, or is it fallow and prepared or being prepared? Every step is important.

More often that not, God does not send specific prophetic words to those who are not preparing. And usually those prophetic words confirm something already going on and encourage and boost the determination level for greater fruit and reaping.

I think most would say that friendship with God is a very strong place and all real friendships have give and take (or receiving). Two people will have different wills, where one person will have one will. Is God conforming to you, or you to Him? Hey, no insult there, this is something that needs to be reasoned in your soul.

Not everyone is called to ministry, but those who are will have more challenging pressures, because your words and actions have to help, carry and love on and minister to others. But ministers cannot live without the support of others, so in God's eyes, there is an equality.

We ALL need and enjoy what others supply and contribute to the world. We need to quit separating the "clergy-laity" (the doctrine of the Nicolaitans that Jesus hated) and be of one heart and mind. God is not letting non-"clergy" off the hook! If you want in on the blessings, we each must do our parts and give honor to whom honor is due, and some honor is helping others to get it right so they won't miss their blessings!

Some people are called and don't even know they are called because they have never experienced the Presence in a way that invites them in to discover their God given spiritual gifts. But some when experiencing that Presence will realize what it is that they need to do to contribute to the world. God has pleasure in that, and often honors them.

So what is it that God wants you to do, or what is it from a heart of gratitude or love is it that you would want to do for Him? If you know Him, you become aware of His Heart!

There are many rascals in the world expressing themselves because they have not experienced the Presence of Life, so flesh is manifesting big time. It is up to us to change the world and make a difference and that desire will cause you to seek His wisdom in how to do it.

So if you have something real in your heart that you want to do, God will take that and help you to get on the right path for your life. Sometimes you have to break through thick walls! but that is okay.

On the other side is the beautiful blessing of His Love. Start Planning! 2017 is the Year of Victory!

God's Treasure Chest by Pam Clark

I think the majority of decent people who don't believe do so because they cannot "connect the dots." They believe in God but just can't imagine that He would speak to them and care about them in a personal way. They like and appreciate the hope that they stand a chance for Heaven and they don't want the drama and fear of doom all the time "to get them in." They don't want to be manipulated and can see through that a mile away. But MANY have never had anyone pray with ...them in a personal way for a need, much less to give them the opportunity to have their own effective prayer life. You can't just say to a baby believer, "Here's the Bible, read it" and expect them to excel in spiritual things right away. It's not going to happen, except with a very few. God gave the TEACHER person in the Body for a reason, just like He did the pastor, evangelist, prophet and apostle and other ministry gifts. Just because someone says they are a pastor or something else, does not mean that they really are. Some have some knowledge but not a relationship with God! Some see their knowledge (but not faith) as a skill set to make money. They obviously do not know or fear God, but know they need and desire money. Some don't realize how dangerous playing with that is, but God will use them to the degree that He can to help some on their path. The problem is that there is a lot of deception that can go with it that has to be unlearned and even healed. That is why we NEED Revival! The Gospel and the Holy Spirit is not a Spook that people have to fear all the time. There is a relationship in the learning process and it starts with a prayer. All salvation starts with a prayer! It's the beginning and birthing of spiritual life. Will you be His midwife? As Christians, we are called to defend the faith, and even defend the new (or abused or confused) believers, not condemn them for their lack of understanding, but speak the truth in Love! Your personal prayers for someone can change not only their world but many others as well. You never know what gift you may unlock in God's wonderful treasure chest! He who wins souls is wise!

Deliverance from the Bondage of Humans by Pam Clark

I am in love with God and the local church.  And I am in bondage to God, but I am not in bondage to the local church.  I deeply love the local church because the people of God are in the local church, and I relate to them as best I can.  But sometimes I can't always relate to them, especially if I feel there is not a real unity in the relationship.

 I will work to serve them as best I can, but sometimes that has its limitations.  I don't want to step on their toes any more than I want them to step on mine.  (Some have called me weak for saying that, but I am not.)  And I have found that the same two feet that walked me into that church or fellowship gathering, are the same two feet that can walk me out.  It's not about spite.  It's about seeing and knowing Him and believing in that.

It's not a pleasant thing when things are not smooth, of course it is not!  Not if you are really serving and loving the Lord.  You hang in there as best you can.  But there is a human bondage implied at times, something that is far more political than Spiritual, and I am not going to be a part of that.  The spirit of competition and desire to lord over others with ego or control is still very alive in the earth and in the local church.  And sometimes my nose is real trained to the scent of it!  Just NOT going there!

As one with a prophetic calling, there are assignments given to you.  This is rarely understood in today's time correctly - some people want to worship prophets and some want prophetic worship!   It's not about man, and when that is really played out at times, sometimes people don't like it.  I can't help it.  You may think we haven't tried to make some things work when we have.  It’s a prophetic frustration.  But we keep pressing in for the good vision!

God does not just work through a pastor.  In America, many think He does, but if you really get into the Scriptures, you will find that there is a whole lot more going on with God in His Spirit.  He has a five (5) fold ministry, not just a one fold of "the pastor."   That means He has a Hand working all its fingers and thumb and He is not oppressing people.  It means there is a multi-dimensional situation going on at all times, but many really don't want to go there, because to them that is “politics” and people have their own ways of responding to politics.  It's not always pretty.  It can look nice on the outside but the inside can be toxic.  But overcoming it can be a real victory, if you stay in His Spirit.

Because prophets are forerunners, not in perfection (maturity), but in some understandings and visions, like the pastor, people want to exalt them like they do their pastors.  And if pastors and prophets don't understand this, then they can work their positions in a way that makes the world seem to spin around them.  If you don't understand God's Heart, then you will fall for the adulation of those who want to make you or someone else a king!  It's very flattering, but we are not God.

In the world, it works a certain way and in the enemy's camp it also works a certain way.  Most get trained in that without even trying to!  The reality is that pastors and prophets and leaders need others in the Body too, in the purity of Jesus.  We have to learn how to cover each other or things fail, and when they fail for faithlessness, then others too will fall or suffer.  People often do not get how coverings work.  Again, it gets political and that is a fail in God.  It is really your faith that covers you, because you are in His Spirit!

There is a constant death to self going on, BUT there is also a constant glory that is coming because there is a death to self.   The world sometimes thinks it is their job to keep the pastor or leader humble, but God and you can do that just fine, ha ha.  With GOD, there is a reward system going on and it’s about the Spirit of His Love!  And it is not looking to MAN for that reward!  This is where death to self "gets real," sometimes more real than we want.  This is where we really have to examine the phrase that “you get what you've prayed for”!

In Jesus, (Romans 8:1), there is NO condemnation.  But there is grace, even for others!  It is often in that crosshairs that we do die to self, but we find God.  He is there in every shadow.  He does hide in the "unseen" places.  But He is not always asking us to stay "there";  He is also working His reward system for us.  We just have to find it and we can.  He is faithful, so very faithful.

The only King over us is Him;  the rest of the time He is working His Hand, with not only the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, teacher and pastoral ministry, but working with the rest of the Palm of His Hand as well.  That Hole in that Hand always says there is more - more grace and more love.  Those hard and challenging times can hear the Voice say, "I Am in this with you, and there is no condemnation."

Some have started out with graven images; some have transferred that "godly" status to man.  But there really is only One God and He is there where ever you go or where ever you are, scourged or not.  There is a transfer from "where you have been trained" to "where you are going and learning how to navigate that."  Oh how we love the restful times, and there is a place where we learn to take our peace and rest with us.

Many considered Jesus weak (and they still do) but He was strong.  And Jesus overcame the world.  Man didn't make the world, he did not even choose the time, place, gender, color or  location of his birth, but God did.  And sometimes there is humility in just that.  We have human problems. But inside all of us, whether king or poor pawn, there is a spiritual destiny, a desire for more, and this is something that can be very healthy or very dark.

This is where the so called "things of God" can even get very political.  This is where we see the side of our soul that even wants to tell God "what to do" or how He "ought" to do it.  But God has more going on than our leadership, and that is His.  There is a bigger plan than most of us see.  Some have been trained all their lives on the kingship of man and without His Spirit, we cannot overcome it.   This is why we need to know how to pray!  Jesus said, look for the fruit to discern, and that in your own life.  You are most often the one who discerns if Christ, the Anointing, is growing in you.

It's not about your influence over men, as "the standard," (the world teaches that), but real Love authority at work.  The more you reach and find Him, the more you are touching and influencing others towards Him or against Him.  The opportunity in some way or form is always there.  It's the fragrance, the one where you are the scent of death or life to others.  It is acknowledging the evil that none of us wants to see, in us or in others, and that can be a big battle.  It's a time of heart break, but for the real believer, there is REWARD on the other side!

THIS is what we must face and embrace and the brokenness opens us up for more, if we realize the reward is REALLY there.  It's not about our control but our allowing His control.  It brings on the power of a discernment that we have to call on the Spirit of self control to manage (Galatians 5:22-23).  We have to find His sound mind.  It is different mindset than the fallen world we live in, there is a new playing field.  Because it is new at first, we can question it, but you will find that there are others who are also on this same journey.

You will find that there is an energy, that receives or repels the revelation, and you have to manage that energy!  When there is unity in those deeper dimensions, great things are taking place, often unseen to the natural world, but making an influence.  How do you think America became great?  Just happenstance?  No, but because the good will of man was agreed upon and purposed in spirit and Spirit.

The pool we dive in is not another man's glory, but God's.  It is the trust of knowing God's good will and those of His.  The navigation is the biggest challenge because people and institutions are at different places.  Some days they fulfill us, and some days they don't, due to varying places we are in.  The only way you can check yourself is to test the fellowship that you have with Him and others in His Spirit.  He is “our” Father.

There are those times, those death to self times when it can be excruciating, that life seems hard if not impossible.  This, too, shall pass.  Sometimes giving is required of us and we don’t want to give, but we need to.   But don't give up, hold on, because you really know from past experiences that you can remember some good places, and those can be built upon for even more.  And when it is time to give up this life for the next, you will be ready and the friends you make will be your eternal friends, not just convenience people for the moment.

When you really believe that God is who He says He is, you will open up to His Plan at work.  You will willingly sign up for duty.   It's works when it is working through HIS system, His ministry, His government.  You will find that He positions you in strategic places, and you will not want to jump ahead or lag behind.  You will find He cares very much for "the least of these" and will also deal with and work with "the great" with seeming power.  There are powers He has reserved for His last days glory that will amaze us.

We also need to remember that because violence increased on the earth in Noah's day, (and because of that He chose to destroy the world, save Noah), that He is still not accepting violence today as His way.  It is in fact a telltale sign of the battle of the end times.  However, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force, which means there is a warfare that we very much need Him for.  Our only success is in His power, and we need to know His nature over the world's.  Both want to survive.  In God, we learn how to discipline and even be disciplined.

We will go as far in God as we want to go.  Violence can be done on many levels, within and without, and the health of the soul is in Him.  The redemption of our souls is costly and He will invest much to reach us.  And being in Him in us allows us to serve and thank Him for that more and more, our never ending God!

You will learn to thank and appreciate God for HIS government.  You will see it at work when others don't - because you have chosen to know it and receive it.  And you will serve when people don't have a clue what you are doing or are about.  You will see that we ARE making a difference as His Light in this world and we look forward to being caught away into His Heavenly Kingdom.  You will understand the value of a soul saved and why it is important.

The Bible says with many tribulations you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  These tribulations are not meant to take you out, but to bring many others in.  It is our joy and strength to serve Him!  We need the local Body of true fellowship and sharing and loving and giving.  But we also need to find that place in Him where it is Him and us alone, not for decrease but increase.  We will discover the rythms of God and learn how to climb in His ways and methods and embrace the future in His Hope against our hopes.

Be not weary in well doing, for in due season, we will reap if we do not faint.  And even if we feel we do faint, we will often find that we are caught in the shelter and love of His everlasting Arms.

Favor - or Love? by Pam Clark

 

I have a friend in another state who shared with me (and some others) about a lady who got hit by a car, amongst some other troubles she had, and people in her church.... selah.... were saying that she had a demon because she was under attacks (and they didn't know how to deal with it, or want to). The lady was then hurt even more hurt by that! Well, as an example, this story could be multiplied over many places. I asked, "Where is the teaching on love, what real love is?"

 

And as I pondered this, I realized that many are teaching on the FAVOR of God (and that power) and not on the LOVE of God, which is who He is. Now some people need favor, many of us do, and we do have to learn HOW to accept it and then handle it, but if we miss the right foundation of Love, we become hateful mean people in the name of Religion.

 

Do we REALLY believe in Love? Or do we just equate that with FAVOR? Now Love is not a rulebook, it is relationship. Discipline can help us in our relationships, but Love is knowing God, because God is Love!

 

So do we even really want to know God??? I don't think Love is extreme sports either, because extreme sports is not for everybody, but it is a thrill to some. Each to his own on that one, I say. (To them, enduring the Cross is extreme sports, but that is not the real story, because Jesus suffered to His death, then rose.)

 

Love cares about the well being of others and is willing to give in practical ways towards that. It is not merely "charity" like we know charity today, which is usually just giving out of our excess.

 

Love invests, but it invests because it believes. And it will sacrifice from time to time because of it. Jesus didn't just come to die but to live too! Why do you think He healed people??? I think we make some martyrs before their time!

 

Love is also not a flavor of the month, with this trait or that. Love has flavor and an essence that takes on many forms. The Apostle Paul said Love has a fragrance that people respond to differently! And we have to learn how to navigate that.

 

But Love wants the best for folks because it is CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. But if He is not IN us and we can't see or look for Him in others, then we fall for the secondary which is Favor and that definitely will appeal to the world. (And then we wonder why we have problems.)

 

We love Him, because He first loved us. But if we don't know that Love, we can't evolve and grow and mature; and if we want favor over Love, then we pull on people and make idols of them, expecting them to "perform" all the time and provide. And people freak out over all that.

 

But most of all, if we don't look for Him in others, then we really can't relate to them. Life then becomes about strategy for favor more than Love and the life Christ died for is thrown by the wayside. And that means people too, like this precious lady who goes to church looking for some support and answers that work for her.

 

I know many pain in the rear people to me, but I look for Jesus in them, because He will speak to me there. It doesn't matter what place they are in, my spirit is hungry for the fellowship of Him in their lives. And sometimes He is asking me to give to them and sometimes they are supposed to give to me - that is His sweet fellowship and when it all works, it is a beautiful thing! Some people have symptoms that are not the real problem. Are we smart enough to catch on?

 

But also we are growing as a Body and that maturity knows how to reach out in greater and greater ways, and even has to learn how to receive in greater and greater ways. There can be a rythmic cycle and bumps in the road often can take us to higher places.

 

But it is never about favor over Love. And God will course correct all of us. He is fair and He is just. It may take some time, but He is the Last Word on it. We just have to work to not get offended and that is a challenge. But it is possible if your faith is in the God of Love over favor.

 

The enemy will strategize to get you off of Love onto favor because our flesh nature seems to be so close to the surface. There will be fear or anger from provocations; there will be even losses and needs that seem severe. But this is not just a test of faith but an opportunity for advancement in the Spirit. Our work is to believe, and we have to work to believe that God is doing that.

 

Comparing ourselves one to another can also be a trap for falling into favor over Love. Man creates these standards on "what it means to be a Christian" and then there is strife because there are so many Christians in different places with different circumstances and cultures. We will undermine the work of God within and that will only set us back.

 

But if we recognize the differences and become aware, we will advance to a greater life, and have that more abundantly. Heart check!

SPIRITUAL DYNASTIES by Pam Clark

Some days as a prophet are not fun. God wants you to address things that you would rather not address. Some days it is easier to go to your cave than face or deal with things that you see are wrong. And the Church still has a ways to go.

The Church in America is a spoiled child and I am a part of that Church. I've had my comfort zones and I like them. But I also love the Lord and I am not happy when I am not doing my part. But there are roadblocks, among the brethren, that are problems for everyone. They keep things out of order.

Sometimes you feel you can only address it so many times and then you would just rather leave it alone. But you know when God deals with it, it will be worse, when as a prophet you sense His authority emphasizing it.

Resistance is not easy to deal with, and I am talking about in the Camp of the Lord, not the devil. The devil is another matter. In fact dealing with the devil is easy when the Church is right. The power release is fun! Today I can find things to rejoice about, but the Lord is saying there are still problems and it is over spiritual dynasties that claim ownership over social orders. And the devil loves to set us up if he can.

Something we have to own up to is that sometimes the problems are with leaders and sometimes they are with the people. Moses and the Lord got along real well. In his time, the people were the problem. King David and the Lord got along real well most of the time. Even when David failed, the relationship was restored. God made these famous over the centuries and used them as good examples and leaders because they got along well. They knew Him.

These, along with others who pleased God, saw many things in the Spirit and received many revelations, including things for the future. They left legacies. And don't people love to know the future? But you can never really know the future unless you know God!

The Lord has spoken strongly to me lately about King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream about a tree...

10 "These were the visions of my head while on my bed: I was looking, and behold, A tree in the midst of the earth, And its height was great.
11 The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
12 Its leaves were lovely, Its fruit abundant, And in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, And all flesh was fed from it.
13 "I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.
14 He cried aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts get out from under it, And the birds from its branches.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth, Bound with a band of iron and bronze, In the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew of heaven, And let him graze with the beasts On the grass of the earth.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, Let him be given the heart of a beast, And let seven times pass over him.
17 ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’

Now you know if you have read this one chapter, that the dream was about Nebuchadnezzar's kingship and kingdom. He got proud and God tore his dynasty down - for a long hard season. Time flies when things are going well; it crawls when things are not.

The watchers in this chapter were obviously more than just sight seers. They had authority to declare and decree. They were trusted that way. Here they declared seven years of hard humility.

Now if we are wise, we will ponder our punishments or what could be them. Punishments can help us make wiser decisions, because we humans are all prone to give into the flesh from time to time. Ezekiel tells us that if we see a wrong thing and do nothing about it, we are just as guilty.

Nebuchadnezzar was not called to the ministry of God. Sometimes we want to write off as less those with governmental positions, but he was the leader of a very large kingdom that God took serious notice about.

In fact, as I studied this, I realized that for the most part, God was real pleased with him. When Daniel interpreted his dream, he said to him:

20 "The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,
21 whose leaves were lovely and its fruit abundant, in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heaven had their home—
22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth.

This was not just flattery. This was commenting on civil order at its finest. This was not about religious order, because the king appeared ignorant of much of that. The problem was about man taking credit for the things of God, something perhaps easy to do in a non religious culture.

28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon.
30 The king spoke, saying, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?"
31 While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

Right after the dream, it seemed that he had taken the fear of the dream to heart, but then pride captured him a year later and he suffered those seven long years like a beast in the field. (Now this whole chapter is a testament of him sharing about his grace that he received, even after he went through that. Some with pride never survived! The Love of God is very gracious.)

Even though not "religious", there was a fear of God. When Pharaoh had Sarah, Abraham's wife, he defended himself with the fear of God and God released him from his plague.

But what was the point that Nebuchadnezzar testified about?

　

34 And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation.
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"

Did he claim how "special" he was? How loved he was by God? Did he even proclaim the atonement and lift that up? No, this is Old Testament but the premise is still the same. God is God and He is merciful, but His Character still demands a fear.

He still will maintain the order of His Kingdom and Glory. And man is NOTHING in comparison! Nebuchadnezzar was restored, because God remembered his better days when he was in his right mind, when the weak and the strong could find shelter under his order. It was pride that got him and we are all called to do diligence in that area.

And if we don't understand this, we will go through our own tribulations. We don't claim that we are "special" over others or take credit for the things that God does or has done. In His eyes we are nothing compared to His dominion. This thinking will keep many souls alive!

Is this a word about America? Perhaps. But knowing the religious order as I do, it could be about that too! There is a social order that can be had under a righteous spirit. Some want to love God even more, and that will reveal His Spiritual order, the inner court. But even they are not allowed to lord that over others and claim themselves in the position of God.

The power of man is not to set up or promote spiritual dynasties. To whom much is given, much is required. God will warn and then He will judge. And obviously there are spiritual witnesses and watchers who will declare it. The Church and our nation must return to our spiritual humility.

JUDGING OURSELVES AND OUR NATION by Pam Clark

(pamclark@prophetic.net)

No righteousness happens in the earth without a Godly person's efforts somewhere.

These are crucial times, but they are more crucial in the Spirit, than even in the natural. The natural will always play out what is happening in the Spiritual.

Many people have decided or feel that it's revealed to them who should win the next election. And God is never taken by surprise on these things, but if He gave us some free choice in the matter, then how we are day to day is important and has an effect on the way things turn out!

The Bible plainly says that God is the Father of spirits. (Hebrews 12:9) Our developing spirits matter to Him! Jesus plainly said, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24)

Jesus emphasized the soul as the prize, in many ways:

Matthew 16:26 - "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Matthew 10:28 - "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

And we know that our body houses both our soul and spirit while we are alive. The soul is the mind, will and emotions (great things!) and it can be profoundly affected by the spirit, if we will allow that. Jesus said:

Luke 21:19 - "By your patience possess your souls."

Matthew 11:29 - "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

As we allow the Holy Spirit, whose virture is is displayed in the fruit of the Spirit (found in Galatians 5:22-23), which includes that patience Jesus talked about, we find we are changed from glory into glory. In other words, we grow and mature in the Spirit. And as our spirit man grows in His Spirit, we possess our souls in pleasure before God.

Psalm 89:14 - "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face."

God has given us this will, this free choice, to accept Him or reject Him. It's our testing ground for eternal life with Him. We have this short life span to make our decision. If we care, He cares (for us), if we don't, then He doesn't, for WE made the choice! He grieves the loss, but can move on. (He gave His all, what more could He do?)

Proverbs 16:2 - "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits."

Proverbs 24:12 - "If you say, "Surely we did not know this," Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?"

1 Samuel 2:3 - "Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed."

I want to set this framework for the statements I make next. Many are concerned and are praying for the next election. But if we don't see things as God sees them, we may get caught up in thinking one thing, when how God sees it is another way.

We have to rightly divide things according to God's will in the Scriptures. That is His standard for the peoples. It's more about the Spirit than the theology even! One can get locked up and religious in the theology, but if we are responding to His Spirit, then they will say of us as they did about Jesus' "unlearned disciples":

Acts 4:13 - "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus."

Many in the world in Jesus' day believed they were doing the right thing. But many also had doubts and misgivings about Jesus! Many went with the crowd and lost out on the blessings!

I promise I am not trying to endorse any candidate here in this, but we need to understand that as we follow the Holy Spirit, it does not matter about the candidate as much as it matters about how we respond to the Spirit!

God sees "the Church" and God sees "the world." God sees the lost and God sees the wicked. He wants to reach all of us with His revelations for good and peace and fellowship in Him. It's His agenda, and He declares that He will have "a people"!

So how we pray and act does make a difference. He will lead and guide us as we seek Him in our decisions. But as we work to choose and work for our right leadership, we need to understand something. We are not "voting" for a leader as much as we are working to choose the "right ones" to help us.

Some members of the Church are very notable and some are not as visible as others, but it does not mean their work is not as important. One little thing can turn a whole lot of other things around. If the mechanic is not there to fix the car, the right person needed at the meeting to say or do something crucial might not be there. God is not going by popularity, but function.

The Bible talks about the wise man of a city:

Ecclesiastes 9:14-15 - "There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man."

The people forgot, but God did not. This poor wise man possessed his soul and his gift enough to save a city! It spared his life and those around him whom he knew and loved. And of course there were the greater eternal rewards.

When things get rough, people will listen to the wise, but we need to know that we can miss it if we don't put God first. Because it's not about popularity but relationship with God.

The righteous wise cannot always in their own strength rise to their powers without a Spiritual covering. Many believe wrongly that the world can produce a great leader who can lead righteously without that covering. NO GOOD happens without the right Spiritual covering. Somewhere, a righteous saint is praying before God.

Some who are weak in public have helps (like Moses and Aaron) and some have advisors to their thrones (like Joseph was to the Pharaoh). But these leaders, like many today, had righteous coverings before God. They are not always publicly seen.

This is why we need to seek God and then trust Him. He knows things behind the scenes that we don't always know. That mechanic at the shop can save the day by being helpful and friendly to the person's stressed wife who influenced her husband to keep the faith for his message appointment! We don't know always know "how" God is doing a thing, but we can trust that He hears our prayers.

No righteousness happens in the earth without a Godly person's efforts somewhere. Our prayers matter.

Liberty and Destiny by Pam Clark

The main thing, it's been said, is to keep the Main Thing the main thing. I can agree with that. We are each one taking a journey in this life, and our individual journey is important. But we are also taking that journey with billions of other people, therefore a lot is going on at the same time!

How do we find OUR course? We look for the Main Thing, which is Jesus. Jesus was a Man, but He was more than a Man, He was and is also a Revelation of God to man. It's through Him that we find our place in the Universe. Jesus overcame the inward and the outward problems of man. God did not leave you alone, He sent His Son!

This certainly is not a full theology course but it is something, that if you want to understand it, can help you.

 

Many people focus on sin more than they focus on God. "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God," they preach, but the SIN - even in that verse - is coming short of the Glory, and wallowing in guilt or rejecting Him by neglect! Therefore there is "a ministry of condemnation" that some men try to take control of, declaring themselves as "God" to other men. This is a great sin!

God has appointed ministry assignments and elders in the Body to help us, but salvation is MUCH MORE than just a repentance from your sins. It provides for that, and much, much more!

There is only one God and He is very real, though often misunderstood through false teaching and selfish ambitions. The power from this good God is accessible through prayer and proper understanding of His goodness and glory which is revealed in the Scriptures.

Remember when He passed by Moses, when Moses asked to see His Glory?

Exodus 34:
5 Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

Do we know this God???

Jesus came to redeem this fallen world. He paid the FULL price. When our sight or vision is limited to the fallen, we have little hope but just to endure and HOPE that we get saved.

But when we ENGAGE Him, His real Life begins to manifest and we find a place in Him, a life in Him, a calling and assignment in Him, a work to do in Him, and it brings GLORY to God the Father!  And, many holy blessings to us!

 

We FIND the Jesus who saves, forgives, heals and delivers!

Then we are free to pursue our destiny, free indeed!  We find that fulfilling life that is everlasting in revelation and experience.  We have an awesome God.

Bad Dreams by Pam Clark

 

There are waves of fear being sent out over the land, and we need to discern our safe place in God. A couple of days ago I had a dream, and when I woke up from the fear it caused, I really worked to process the dream in the Lord. Most dreams I get a benefit from if I really pray over them. But this is what I am now calling a "sudden destruction" dream. I am giving it a label because I think many other people have these too. Some will call them prophecies, but when they are negative like this one, (1) I don't want it to happen, so I pray and (2) I ask what is the result of this dream, good or bad?

Little children have nightmares, and I rarely get them, but this was a nightmare. In this case it was a fleet of military planes rising up out of an unknown airstrip to me near here, flying over this area and shooting. I just had this dread that "I don't want this to happen!" because so much was being lost. So anything I get like that, I sure take it to the Lord and ask for His clarity and truth. The devil can give dreams too. This was what I believe the Bible calls to be a "night terror." The dream did not come from the Lord.

Wannabe prophets are quick to jump on negative words so they can feel "right" and "important." I was not created in God to be helpless, but pro-active for His good will! I remembered others who have had dreams and while I feel some could be prophetic, I have to ask if this fear is where I want my outlook to be, and the answer is NO.

God will warn, and He will give people visions of the future. He will also give warnings so that man will be wise to change his ways and outlooks to the right way, so that he can receive a blessing instead of a curse! If we look at the devil too much, we can become like him. We need to know God's will to overcome him.

Satan is the Accuser of the brethren and since God is good, when the negative comes, you can almost always find his bad fingerprints in the work. Thank goodness, he is not eternal (with the believer) but we do have to learn how to deal with his tactics till the coming of our Messiah, and it is good to hasten that Day!

That wave of fear was a real thing. I choose to turn my eyes and heart on to the Prince of Peace, but it had a force as sure as if someone had physically assaulted me. I just had to find my place in the Savior, and thank God, I have one.  The Holy Spirit may be seeking you to help prevent intended bad things.

God's not playing a bunch of games with us. The end times are upon us and we have to be sober and vigilant because our adversary is roaming around like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. We don't want to be his food! 

I just want to encourage you not to take every evil thought as a premonition; it can be a snare. God may be working on you about being pro-active with Him! That has many great rewards. Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

In the book of Revelation, it talks about many waves of evils attacking mankind. I think we have lived to see a number of them. Our safe place is in Jesus! We are the overcomers if we choose to live in Him.

Politics and the Christian by Pam Clark

Politics. Some say it's a dirty word. Many want to avoid it, but it seems to be a necessary evil. When we hear of someone coming against another in the "negative ad campaigns", most Christians' hearts are grieved. Some really want to tune it out and I have been there! The forces are swift and hard. Thank goodness some are called to it as public servants but that doesn't make the confrontations factor any easier, it's just more graced, we hope.

But I want to share why it is important that we do embrace politics to some degree. From the Fall in the Garden, there is a devil that has been after our life. We are favored with God, and he no longer is, but is found with sin, and he chose that rebellion. So he attacks that which is in the image and likeness of God. We need to understand this.
There are school politics, community politics and even church politics; we just don't always call them by those "names." And certainly there are government politics. I think you know what I am talking about. He wants to control the world and is making a play for it!

The devil is tricky - the Bible speaks to that - and Jesus is shrewd. Like you, I wish we could ban the devil. It's a worthy idea. But God is calling us to be overcomers whether we want to be or not! The key to this is learning wisdom.
Wisdom is really the fear of the Lord, learning the humility of submitting to God and being teachable - or a disciple. God says He is the Father of spirits and we ARE spirit, soul and body. The spirit has a huge part in this, but it's often played down or ignored. We need our balance.

The devil has designed his strategies causing trouble where no trouble needs to be; his intent is to kill, steal and destroy. If he can aggravate us enough, he will then work to recruit us for his team. There is a lot that goes on in life that we need to be aware of. It's called living and surviving, while we appreciate what we can! There is no eternal life apart from Jesus.

There is a survival spirit that goes on in life, whether a person is born again or not. There is a strong will to survive, to express one's self, and enjoy life's pleasures. The problem is that there is a way that seems right to a man but the end is death. We have to figure this stuff out!

When you see politics going wrong, start to pray. Your best advantage is to be in agreement with God to the best of your understanding. Like any child, you are expected to grow and mature and find your best function as an offering to the One who created you and who has a good eternal plan for you. We don't need to spend time judging others, because all judgments comes under Him. We need grace for each other, and ourselves!

The difference in a real Christian believer's life and everyone else's is the born again experience. It's not a label, but an encounter. And it is an encounter that is supposed to continue, on and on and on into that good Eternal Life.

Hope you are tracking well!

Nirvana is not real, but Jesus is by Pam Clark

I am sure you have heard over the years the term "Nirvana" which originated from the Buddhists about a place where all your needs, wants and desires are met. The goal is to get in a state called Nirvana. It's their idea of a Heaven.

On Google, I saw it described as "Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away."

The Muslims you know are promised the 72 virgins, that is their "nirvana". It's become a catch all term for everything you could want.

Many in seeking that place of "wow, all my needs and wants are met!" work to eliminate all other states of mind to find that, and of course they never do. Some think if they just had a bunch of money, that would cure all their woes and it would satisfy all your desires, but how many of you have heard testimonies where people said they came into money and then really started to miss Jesus. They thought He was there, but He wasn't.

Luxury can always be easy going into. The soulish flesh nature is catered to, the immediate needs are met and it's not a hassle, and it feels pretty nice! Going up to new levels easy is great! We can get used to it! We're blessed! So then on comes the "blessed ones" and their competitions. It's about "the blessing." Oh, I know I am stepping on toes, but not with mean intent. You have to know in your soul what you are about.

I myself have agreed with the statement "I've been rich, and I've been poor, rich is better!" And of course there is some truth to that but it's not all the truth.

The other day I heard someone make a big deal out of wealth, wealth, and more wealth, but I got a check in my spirit. The presentation was that if we had all the money we needed, we couldn't go wrong. The bait was to give and give because the move of God is on and the “wealth transfer” is coming in. Yes, there is and there was at least one, but did the people respond correctly after that? Usually the season is real short! Don’t we want more than that?

Oh, there was so much warfare, between Moses and the people, the people with each other, Aaron and the people and compromising, slaying a bunch of the people in the camp who got frustrated and gave up the Lord, and I can see these same temptations in me when the going gets hard!

But the Lord showed me in a vision a young husband and wife, so in love with each other, finding delight, serving Him, having children and sharing life, so many things going good, but life happened in the ways that it can, and places got hard. The stress of pressure weakens one and family strength is needed but it is is not always there.

When the wife got stressed, she wanted the husband to be her father now and he was not that. When the husband got stressed, he wanted the wife to be a mother and she was not that. The stress caused pressure and when they leaned too hard on the other that way, they each pulled away from the marriage.

He didn't become the father, he'd rather be with his other buddies who got him, and she would not become the mother, she had friends too, it would change the dynamic of their love, so they pulled away in their hearts, if not more than that. "Nirvana" was to be sought for but it was not easily found, because it wasn’t real.

So chuck it all and move on? To strive for “my needs are met” Nirvana in this "religious" theme, is to give and suffer and die for this "place", rather than for this relationship. You know how it's said money answers all things, but it is not all there is! There is something beyond it. It can be greatly used for good, but there is more to life than just money.

God is calling us into RELATIONSHIP with Him and He is not without continuing rewards, but it is a relationship. There is sacrifice and some suffering. It’s not all suffering to pay a debt we can’t pay.

Even when the filthy rich who have had all this wealth and fill their face and life with pleasures and treasures and quests, they still come up empty without the real God. How many have committed suicide, hurt themselves to feel something, cry many tears in the night because money is there, but relationship is gone?

Relationship doesn't just work because we wish it to. We lay foundations for relationship. We can't demand, command and intimidate others to have any kind of real relationship with us. We may coerce and dangle baits, but it doesn't bring real rewards. Love is real in a soul and so is heartbreak. And people will kill for "Nirvana"!

This is why Jesus calls the foundation in Him. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He has a faith in us that is like no other. He can go into the soul and find all the hidden treasures. Delight can be found in Him but it's about a marriage with Him, not just a zone or stoned out place of hitting the constant pleasure button over and over. There is a fellowship of His suffering. He suffered for us, for the joy set before Him.

Drugs hook people because that is what they offer - a zone of pleasure time of "no troubles, no work that is not rewarded, no feeling (conscience)", and it draws in damaged people who need healing and soothing. Pay the man for the dope and you are free! -- for a little while, then give them your body and soul and literally lose your mind. Because there is a price to be paid for this. We baited you, but now we want your soul... now you are hooked and disadvantaged, so you owe us or suffer more. It snares you. And many suffer greatly.

Nirvana - walk on gravel on your knees over sand and glass - suffer in all the ways you can think to suffer and reach "Nirvana" where you don't suffer anymore but your pain and sensitivity finally dies. Whip yourself, crucify yourself to a cross, beat yourself up in whatever ways you can think, you will find "heaven" that way, but you don't. Tell everyone how great you are, but can you meet all their needs and do you want to? That’s competing with God! Some go for it.

What will people do for Nirvana? A lot! But Jesus offers His hands to you - personally. He offers to take you on a journey with Him, He is willing to link His life to yours, He will even marry you if you accept Him and His Vision. It's not Nirvana, but it is Jesus.

We have to be careful that what we call virtue is really virtue. Nirvana is not virtue when it desensitizes you to others. Virtue will send healing life and strength into people! It's the Anointing.

Two Kinds of Unity by Pam Clark

I watched the State of the Union address last night, got in a little late and later watched a rerun, but what came to me when I first tuned in sounded like a Tower of Babel unity speech! Now I am not trying to dog Obama, there is not a lot of fruit in doing that, but we can reason things... Now please hear my points before you get on a negative bandwagon, that is not where I am trying to go with this... What came to my spirit was a human unity speech over the Kingdom of God. "We are the greatest people, we need to be one, and even though diverse, we need to uphold the best in us, etc." and there is some good truth in there. You could hear something similar in a church! But as a spiritual person with a calling, I hear two worlds. I started thinking, "Where is the honor to God? Will he say God bless America still at the end? and he did. And what I have discerned about him is that he is working out his father issues BECAUSE he had an absent father who was a Muslim and he feels love for him (which is healthy) and has a heart of reconciliation. He has attended a Christian church, but I don't discern that he is born again (like many of you don't believe that) and therefore he does not discern God as his real Father. Many people are like that. Now even the Pope it seems is getting on this theme of "We are all God's children and we should love everyone," and there is some reasoning in some of that we can go with IF we understand the Truth! But we also know (or should realize!) that not every God that is claimed is our God! There is not just one God in many forms. Nopey, nopey, nopey!!! But Jesus prayed for unity and as His, we should as Christians have great capacities for Love. And I see a lot of it out there in the Body. (But it's funny how we forgive what we personally choose to forgive, the great hearts that we have and don't forgive other things.) But beyond the need for growing in our love, we NEED to know the DIFFERENCE between human unity and the Kingdom of God. Many people know about God and in their hearts claim Him a bit, as best as they have figured out how to. Some, have never even had someone personally pray for them, so we need to think about that! It's the effective witness that works and that is our challenge. Otherwise they are open game for whomever! We don't bully people into believing in Jesus. He never did anything close to that, but He did say Truth like it is. We have to discern the spirits. When man gets together as a group, man can do many amazing things - even today with the language barriers! Peace unity is better than violent strife, I think most would agree. And this is where we learn to understand the difference between civil and spiritual government. We really don't have that down too well yet, but we are working on it. God operates very differently, yet we keep trying to make a business or corporation out of the Church. We need some organizational understanding but if we miss the Spirit of God, we are just going to have a natural organization. The Spirit of God supersedes the natural. It's why it is called Super-natural! And the enemy, who just happens to have more experience and insight about the powers of God, comes in with his perverted super-natural. He was booted out of heaven for sin against God's nature, so the power of Life is not in him. Therefore there is no truth, redemption or overcoming resurrection. And we are taught in Scriptures that this is going to play out in world events. He is going to play his hand or fallen powers and they were pretty impressive, but it's limited in time and space and eternity. Many people can mean well, but if they don't have the Spirit of God in them at work, they can pray and even get some good answers but they are not anchored in God. Some are lost and can be used by the enemy and some are just choosing evil. We have to face this reality. So if we can understand that, we can pray accordingly. There are a lot of things going on here, as would and should be for the leader of the free world in the natural sense. For those who want his power, there is jealousy. For those who want their agenda, there is a contending, right or wrong. I watched his body language and as he mentioned that we should care about the Muslims too, he put his hand towards his own heart, and friends, that is the love he has for his natural Muslim father and he is trying to find that reconciliation or healing in a loving spirit. That still doesn't make him born again, it's just a reach, and many "nice and good intentioned folks" are not "born again" Christans with a real relationship! And some are just very young and not maturing. He has a vision for world unity and he is going about it in the ways that he knows and can figure out. And honestly, I'd love to see the perfect Christian run but haven't seen that one either in the current natural world. So we need to see what we are dealing with! I pay attention to politics because they affect the natural world we live in, but my hope and faith is in the KINGDOM of GOD. While I can respect a fellow human being in the best ways I know how, they in all their glory are not going to bring in the Kingdom of God, except as His follower. I don't care if the Pope says "We are all one" there are really TWO kinds of unity -- God's and the world's. Nimrod led the peoples of the world to a unity and built the Tower of Babel. He could have used a speech quite like this one! But God didn't like it, and destroyed the building of that "tower of unity to the heavens" (because they left Him out in His Truth, and He divided their tongues into confusion or babble, thus we have the word for worldly which is Babylon. I could go on and on with this subject but most of you are smart enough to catch on. Some "nice" things, even family members, can seem to mean well, and most Christians have not arrived yet to have all the answers either, therefore we have to pull on the Living God who wants His Glory. Stay tuned, I will probably keep writing more on all this - these are the end days where the powers are displayed and need to be understood www.propheticlights.com Pam Clark Ministries PO Box 484 Moravian Falls, NC 28654.
