JUNE...A MILESTONE MONTH!

SUDDENLY

Get ready...get ready...get ready...put your seat belts on! There are legendary adventures to be had in God's Kingdom and He longs to share them with YOU! This was a word the Lord gave about the month of June, we encourage you to declare this over your lives and trust in God's ability to keep His word over your destiny.

JUNE

This month life will be going in one direction and all of a sudden God will invade the scene with His breakthrough power and things will change - everything will change!

Major strongholds will fall and crumble, and dreams and prophetic words received years ago will come to pass quickly, right before our eyes.

Those things that have been assaulting us will be no more! This is the last time the enemy will have a stronghold in the area of lack. (Specifically address the area you're believing victory for.) We are going from faith to faith, victory to victory, glory to glory! Not from lack to more lack or stress to more stress. NO MORE!

This is the month of unique God set-ups, extreme creativity, and surprising Kingdom alliances!

This is the month of walking in abundant prosperity - land FLOWING in milk and honey!

This is the month to experience the culture and atmosphere of Heaven like never before!

This is the month to encounter the laughter, delight, and pleasure of Abba God like never before!

This is the month to bask in His goodness and tender affections, to know Him and His ways, and to encounter the depths of His Presence like never before!

This month everything will change - SUDDENLY!

Isaiah 65:24 - "It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear."

God is always faithful and has a great, proven track record of keeping His promises! If you are weary in waiting for His words to come to pass, remind yourself of His character, His Word and His love for you!

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE

• Note down the limitations that are holding you back (finances, past disappointments, unbelief etc.) and present them to Him.

• Talk to Him about those hindrances. (He loves honesty...He's not religious!)

• Trust Him in and with the process of seeing those words come to pass.
  
  
• Declare His Word over your life!
  (Here are a few scriptures to get you started: II Corinthians 1:20, II Peter 1:2-4.)
  
  
• Now begin to thank Him for the fulfillment and manifestation of those desires He's deposited in your heart!

Be sure to leave comments of what God has done for you this month and what you're expecting to see fulfilled! Your testimony of breakthrough will build someone else's faith!!

NO ONE LEFT BEHIND

Imagine a body of believers that are so together in unity that not one person is left behind as entire groups tap into the heart of God and experience His tangible, transforming Presence. What if we had this mindset: We will not let anyone be left behind in what they’re believing and dreaming for. Imagine the breakthroughs and creativity that would come out of that culture of unity and encouragement!

When we corporately begin to make much of the Word of God, pursue His Presence, declare the reality of Heaven instead of the natural "facts", and dream the dreams that He has placed in our inmost being, then we will see transformation on a large scale. We will be examples of purity, of supernatural peace that passes all understanding, and perfect love in the face of fear. The world will have no choice but to take notice!

CHANGED BY YOUR PRESENCE

As Bill Johnson says, “The ‘reach’ of His presence is transformational in nature, changing the climate that people live under.” There may be many areas in our lives that need God’s transforming work. Even now, just focus on one area that you desire change in, and as you believe God’s truth, instead of the ‘impossibility’ of that situation, you will begin to experience radical changes for the better.

It all begins with seeing ourselves as God sees us, thinking what God thinks, and speaking what God speaks. Whether it's getting out of debt, improving in time management, overcoming a physical or emotional issue, or a sin that keeps us in its grip...the enemy would want us to buy the lie that we are powerless and nothing is changing. But, when we put our trust in God’s word and see our lives from His perspective, He gives us the supernatural ability to be who He’s called us to be. The very area the enemy wants us to be bound in, is the very area God will begin to use us in powerfully!

CHANGE YOUR CONFESSION

Make a declaration today, to speak LIFE and HOPE over your lives, dreams, and relationships! Unbelief and fear will fulfill their own expectations if we give place to them. As you choose to speak in alignment with what God says, the Lord will bring increase and restoration. From that place of building a foundation of Heaven's reality with your words, it has no choice but to supersede the natural "facts" that may be surrounding you.

THE DREAMER IS IN THE ROOM

What would life be like without dreams? God is the One who gave us the ability to dream and it's so good to know He hasn’t given up on our dreams, or on us. When we release the pain and disappointment of unfulfilled dreams and begin to dream again with the One who created dreams, He imparts hope and life into us.

Isaiah 42:3 says, "A bruised reed He will not break and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.”

Even if our dreams are a bruised reed or a dimly burning wick, His breath is powerful enough to breathe fulfillment and give us the strategies to see those dreams be made manifest in the natural.What better time than now to see your dreams come alive? What better people than you and me? God has good intentions for your life...the Dreamer is in the room...what are you willing to dream about with Him?

There is a dream that is straight from the heart of God. That dream is for men and women to begin to see the reality of Heaven take natural form and effect not only them personally, but begin to cause everyone around them to be caught up in the draft of their transformation. Let's take a stand together to see NO ONE LEFT BEHIND!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

SEASON OF SINGLENESS IS OVER

The evening started before there were even any introductions with a clear prophetic word as Holy Spirit completely took over. ~ There is a ‘cupid’ angel in the room. The Lord is going to assign more ‘cupid’ angels all over this room. These angels are going to follow you guys. Not just for the single people, but for those who are married as well. They are trumpeting LOVE, the LOVE of God, and a LOVE for each other over you. Hear the sound of love. The season of singleness is over!

FREQUENCY OF LOVE

Hear the sound of love. There is a frequency of love that the world and creation depends on. Love is the culture of the Kingdom of God that is within you. You are the expression of love. God created you to be, the very expression of love in Heaven, here on earth. There is a vibration of love that will shake the nations, because you are a reflection of Jesus, who is PERFECT LOVE. Even as the vibration that is within you will shake the nations, imagine what happens when relationships are formed to create notes, melodies, chords and harmonies. This is the sound and the music God has written that is coming together... shaking, moving, and perfecting.

ROMANCE IS RELATED TO ROYALTY

Romance is related to royalty in the Kingdom of God. Only when you truly know who you are in Christ, as one who is an “heir of God and joint heir with Christ” (Rom 8:17), can you truly love as you were created to love. In the midst of a society where divorce is prevalent, covenant is cheapened by selfishness and convenience, and love is mistaken for lust or greed, how can we find TRUE ROMANCE? It is in the place of intimacy with God, where He is telling us who we are, then inviting us into this EPIC LOVE STORY with Him. Here we realize we are not orphans scrambling for anything we can get, but instead sons and daughters of a Father whose resources are immeasurable, and whose love is perfect.

SPIRIT OF ROMANCE
(spontaneous songs)

Spirit of Romance come...awaken our hearts...awaken the sleeping hearts...let love’s fragrance fill the air, intoxicating air like a thousand roses...take our hands and lead us out of the shadows into the light of Your garden. Let it be safe for us to be fully known...for You to receive us fully...in the warmth of Your safety, where we can truly be ourselves in intimacy with God. Look with Your eyes into the faces of each of us God and impart the bearing of royalty. Impart the substance of who we are in You...the spirit of adoption. As You awaken our desire for You, we realize that our love and passion has been asleep. Burn in our hearts from the inside out. Let us be Your gold. Let us be men and women who know we carry this huge resource of Your Kingdom. Spirit of Romance come! Cover us with Your Love!

LOVE WINS

Love wins as God resurrects that which has been broken and dead. Jesus is writing His children’s LOVE STORY, and He wants US to consume the world with it!!!! The picture of Hollywood is fading. The picture they have painted of love is fading. The world is waiting to see real love and real romance. As you have unveiled your heart, EPIC LOVE STORIES have begun to unfold. God is establishing the standard of purity that reveals perfect love...love that can never be broken...love for a lifetime. That purity draws us into worship, making us beautiful, and stirs up a love that is real and untainted. Love is in the air!

HOLY ALIGNMENT

Jesus is fighting for you! He is here winning your trust back, from those who have broken your trust. Angels are aligning you. New breed. Transformation. You thought you were headed one way, but He is aligning you in a different and right direction. Holy alignment. New friendships. Wholly aligned. New relationships. Marriages that are a sign and a wonder. Holy alignments...everything to glorify the Lord. There is a red carpet in the Spirit where people are being aligned in Kingdom relationships. I did not create you to be alone. You were created for relationship. You were created for love. You were created for relationships in love. You may not see it, but I am working on your behalf. Be alone no more. I’ve created you for love. The King is escorting the bride down the red carpet and pairing people off. There is a pot sitting over a fire in the hearts of everyone in the room. Inside of that pot, love is marinating!!!

BABIES OF LOVE

With great leaders all around us who have marriages that are falling apart, there is an assault of the enemy, not only against existing marriages, but also marriages that have yet to take place. There are “BABIES OF LOVE” that the enemy is trying to kill even as Herod, in his fear, killed babies of a certain age in order to attempt to kill Jesus. The enemy is trying to implant seeds of fear that will choke out the love that God has planted into hearts of men and women who have fully committed themselves to Kingdom purpose. It is imperative to rise up against this spirit of fear. It is time for Godly marriages and relationships. They are crucial in this hour to be a sign and a wonder. Marriage is the reflection of Jesus and the Bride. It is time for a group of radical lovers of God to be joined together in covenant relationships because they must break the back of divorce and break the back of fear. This isn’t just ‘fear of marriage’, it is FEAR...Godly marriages are key to breaking the back of FEAR because perfect love casts out all fear!

PURE LOVE

We declare that our relationships will be a reflection of the selfless, pure love of Jesus. We declare that we will stand up at the altar of marriage as a sign and a wonder with no regrets as a testimony to the nations. We declare that existing marriages will be restored to the picture God painted them to be from the beginning. We declare that PURE LOVE is rising to the forefront!!!

LIVING A LIFE OF EXPECTATION

In a room packed with abandoned worshipers who came with hunger and passion to pursue the face of God, it was a night of expecting HIS Presence to transform us!

* Everything changes when He comes and His presence consumes our very being!

* Can you hear the sound of a company of radical lovers of God, calling for the atmosphere of Heaven in unity and one voice? This sound reverberates the very foundation of the earth, as sons and daughters of God are being revealed and take up Kingdom positions in their spheres of influence, with boldness and humility.

HOPE

* What is HOPE? Confident expectation in God’s character and His ability to fulfill HIS promises. He has a great track record of being God.

* Just like a pregnant mother is "expecting"...we are to confidently expect God to fulfill His words over our lives.

* Though Abraham could’ve given up hope, he ‘hoped against hope’ because he respected the promise of God, did not waver in unbelief, and grew strong in faith – which resulted in God being glorified. God had him counting stars that represented his descendants long before he had a child or even the possibility of a child. That is hope.

ARE YOU ALIGNED WITH UNBELIEF?

* In a day and age when it’s crucial to have proper alignments in relationships and ministry associations, it’s also important to look at what we’re aligned with in our thoughts and belief systems. As Bill Johnson says, “We cannot afford to have one thought in our heads that is not in His.”

* Are we aligned with God’s perspective (truth and faith) in how we think about ourselves, our lives and how we respond to others? Or are we aligned with unbelief? When we are aligned with unbelief, we empower the enemy.

* What are some areas of unbelief that are hiding in your heart?
- I don't deserve to be loved.
- I’m not talented enough to do what God has called me to do.
- I’ve made too many mistakes.
- I’m not as spiritual or as gifted as the person next to me.
- God doesn’t speak to me like He speaks to everyone else.
- I’m not qualified for this job.

* Jesus, though He was God, was not able to do miracles among the people because of unbelief, as we read about in Matthew 13:58

* Mark 9:23 says, “ALL things are possible to him who BELIEVES.” When we believe, we align ourselves with God’s supernatural ability to create unlimited possibilities. This is why the enemy attempts to undermine our faith and cause doubt and unbelief in what God has spoken and promised to us, just as he did, with Adam and Eve in the Garden.

* Ask God to reveal the areas of hidden unbelief, confess it as sin, and look into His Word to see who you are. Then align yourself with God’s perspective instead of unbelief.

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

* God is always speaking. Sometimes without words. When we quiet our hearts and focus our eyes on Him, He speaks mysteries – using images and words, to communicate His desire for us and our destinies.

* This week, take the challenge to tune into Him and become conscious of His Presence, even at the most inconvenient times and places. (i.e. At the conference room, as co-workers are going around and around over the same problem and a solution is needed; On Monday as you’re on your way to work, in your car, during rush hour; When you’ve just received a report about a job loss, a medical problem or a reoccurring family issue).

* When we become still enough to receive His life, His wisdom and His words – creative ideas flow in ways we’ve never imagined, solutions to puzzling problems become glaringly clear, truth is released into situations...and not only do our lives transform, but we also impact those we’ve been called to.

MOVE FROM "LOOKING FOR A JOB" to "STEPPING INTO KINGDOM STRATEGIES"

* This is NOT a season to just look for a "job." Don't kid yourself...EVERYTHING is strategic in this hour. You may not see it in the natural, but atmospheres are being prepared even now to receive what YOU carry. Even as a woman's body begins to change and prepare to "house" a baby, there are changes being made in order to "receive" you into your POSITION OF INFLUENCE. You are part of birthing the Kingdom in a strategic place in the Spirit, as well as strategic "physical" areas where LAND is needed to come under the subjection of the Kingdom of God.

Let’s live with an EXPECTANCY of God fulfilling His promises as we fully believe and trust in Him!

2010 - KINGDOM PROGRESSION

The excitement and anticipation for what God is doing in 2010 is almost overwhelming! This is a year of KINGDOM PROGRESSION that cannot be measured by "natural" steps. Near the end of December, God began to set us up for what was coming.

NEW LEVEL OF ANOINTING AND CREATIVITY

There was what appeared to be a whirlwind with lightening circling above our heads at all times. God said to just reach up into it, without intimidation, and grab what you need. There are ideas, inventions, stories, screenplays, artistic creations, solutions, new ways to create wealth, languages and there is power. There is ACCESS and ANOINTING to do what you can't do and what has never been done before at your fingertips.

INCONVENIENT TIMES AND PLACES

He told us to "create sanctuaries" to focus and tune into Him in the most inconvenient times and places and always have something available to write or record. The ideas will come hard and they will come fast. You must GRAB THEM! God told us to walk around with the expectancy that 30 seconds of FOCUS on Him can ignite a movement, change a society, and fund a nation.

SEASON OF SURPRISES

2010 will be a season of surprises and sudden breakthroughs! Don't just look at your expertise, your ability, or your limitations. EXPECT God to explode things out of you that you cannot do, accomplish even a little, or haven't even desired to do before. Be diligent...don't look at the "normal." Do not be surprised when EXTRAORDINARY promotion comes. Do not be surprised when you feel "conflicted" because what you have known to be "normal" isn't God's "normal." Everything has changed for you! It is as if you are stepping into a NEW CLOSET...in a NEW HOUSE...filled with NEW CLOTHES. That which has been hard in the past will be as easy as FLIPPING ON A LIGHT SWITCH.

SUPERNATURAL SIZZLE

It is as if God is stirring and charging up every cell of our body in order to be greater receptacles for what He is pouring out in this next season. Thank Him for INCREASED CAPACITY!!! What you have been praying for and declaring "by faith" manifests into REALITY. It all starts NOW!!! Expect it. See it. Step into it.

Want to impact the world? Let the WORLD participate in the goodness of God in your life as you release the testimony of His love and power. There is nothing like seeing someone's jaw drop as they see miracles happening right in front of them. Yay God - Our Heavenly Father gets all the glory!!!

Our prayer for you in 2010 is that you realize that we are all called to be CREATIVE KINGDOM EXPRESSIONS of His heart.

TURNING UP THE DIAL

What happens when you pack 35 people into a small space who are passionate about pursuing the Face of Jesus? What happens when 35 people worship God in total abandon for 4 hours straight? What happens when 35 laid low lovers surrender their desires, dreams, needs, and lives to the Kingdom of Heaven? What happens when 35 people stand up for nations?

THE GLORY HAPPENS....that's what!!!!

The night was all about Him. We were there to crown Him with worship. It was a night to focus everything on the Creator of the Universe, who had chosen to abide in us.

GOD IS JOURNALING ABOUT US TONIGHT

At the beginning of the evening, Malachi 3:16 was shared:
“Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name.

Imagine God journaling about those who came together with high expectation, on a Saturday evening to esteem His name. He gave attention to what was happening and rewarded us with deeper levels of His presence!

STANDING UP FOR NATIONS

There was a word released about this being the time to do more than just sit comfortably receiving in His Presence. It was time to take a stand for something bigger than us...to ask for our inheritance...to ask God for nations. One by one, men and women began to rise and declare that we would hand God a nation as His reward. It was not a moment to be taken lightly! Many nations throughout the world were called out, as well as "nations" of influence, such as Media, Fashion, Finance, the Church, Education, etc....it was powerful!!! God is harvesting that which He planted, oh, so long ago.

WORSHIP WITH THE ANGELS

Many sensed and saw angels in the room as we intentionally focused on making God BIG! Spontaneous songs broke out and you could see the shackles begin to fall. A holy boldness was imparted to seek out the treasures God had destined for us to find.

Some of the spontaneous songs that were released into the atmosphere were:

- "It's raining...It's pouring...His Presence is falling."
- "God's promises to us are YES, YES and AMEN!"
- "I have heard your prayers. I have seen your tears. I have known you since you were a little girl. I know you. So, don't be afraid. Just take My hand and I will lead you to all the places you have dreamed of going. I will take you there."
- "I'm setting you free! I'm setting you free! Will you receive my freedom? I have many treasures. I have many assignment to give out tonight. Will you receive them?"
- "Don't give up...Many have looked for treasures...They've looked for treasures. Don't stop searching...Don't stop pressing...Don't give up...It's right here...There is a treasure right here."
- "The night is over. Joy comes in the morning. I am for you. Who can be against you? I am for you. The night is over. Joy comes in the morning."

RAIN CYCLE OF WORSHIP

Someone saw our worship going up as food for God. Because He loved us first and because He is for us, we are able to love Him and worship Him. It's like a rain cycle of worship. His love FOR us is released FROM us, creating a vapor cloud OVER us, which then rains back down ON us. As we worship Him, He just continues to give us more of Himself!

KEYS TO THE CITY

God gave us keys to the city. The key is love. He has given us license to love...to hug...to say "I love you" on the streets of New York. There was an anointing to LOVE! There was an anointing to walk in greater love. God was "eavesdropping" on the evening. He saw our desire to walk in love and to be moved with compassion the way He was moved with compassion. We said "YES" to everything we saw Jesus do, which He saw His Father do.

THIS IS A MARKED DAY

The thick swirling Presence of God was in the room. God said, "Thank you for worshiping Me...Thank you for exalting Me...I long for my Bride to focus on Me...Thank you for making this night all about Me."

All night long, you could literally feel Holy Spirit turning up the dial as the atmosphere became thicker and thicker and thicker with God's glory! This was a day to be remembered and even as God was writing a remembrance of us, we told us to write a remembrance of this day that changed us all forever!

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS...NO LIMITS!!!

What an amazing last few weeks!!!! Can life seriously just keep getting better and better? The simple answer is "YES"...when you know who you are and WHOSE you are.

Some of the CKE crew were able to go to the Great Grace Conference in NJ with Georgian Banov, Patricia King, Heidi Baker, and many other great men and women of God. One of the key themes of the conference was "CHANGING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NEED." There is a place of Kingdom living where you see "need" as an opportunity..."void" as a place to create..."desert" as the Promised land...and "barrenness" as a perfect birthing chamber!

People with promise and God's "megas" favor walk into desolation and see things automatically begin to turn around because we know we were created in the image of God. The Creator of the Universe created us to do what He did and that's HUGE!

OCT. 17th - CKE

This was our 17th meeting of CKE and the sweet Presence of God filled the room with power and overwhelming love, touching everyone from ages 14 - 84. It was a night of expanding our horizons and accessing the Kingdom of Heaven without limits. There was an anointing and freedom to simply receive from the Father. A word was given about a "great propulsion of grace" giving us the ability to do more than we could ever do in the natural, not based on performance whatsoever. It's the grace of knowing nothing can separate us from His adoring love, which gives us the ability to be fearless lovers and thrive in a place of seeing natural impossibilities becoming possible.

There were accurate prophetic words given that brought freedom to those dealing with specific hindrances for nearly 20 years. It is always such a pure picture of love when God comes in to the deepest part of our weakness and floods it with His supernatural strength!

The group prayed for Cara and James as they embark on this new journey of life together. What an honor to see such an example of how Christ loves the church in this couple who are about to be married, and who are committed to Kingdom purpose with all that is within them!

The best part of the evening was when two precious first-time guests prayed the prayer of salvation and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Oh the party that must have been going on in Heaven!!!

TESTIMONIES

What if everyone actually believed what they read in the Bible? There is a group of RADICAL men and women in New York & New Jersey who really do!

One young lady, who had to drop out of school for a year, is having to work 2 jobs to survive, but knows it is strategic for the Kingdom. She also knows that maybe she was working at CVS last week to walk in the authority of the resurrection power of Jesus to declare life into a man who died right there in the pharmacy section of the store, but isn't dead any more! Thank You Jesus!!!

This month, there were many out of town guests who received accurate prophetic words, mega "hot seat" ministry, and left New York soooo encouraged by the love and passion for God that they experienced with this amazing group of people.

Another young lady who has only been saved about a year went home a few weeks ago to see her family and found out that her Catholic Grandmother was diagnosed with diabetes. On a previous trip home, she had led her mother and sister in the prayer of salvation, so on this trip, she began to lead them all into declarations of healing from the Word to contradict this diagnosis. Her mom called last week and said that Gram went to the doctor to get tested again, and the doctor said, "I don't know what happened and can't explain it, but our tests show that you don't have diabetes." Yay God!

Every single week, God is calling us all to new levels of intimacy and dependence on Him. One young man "got his mail read" by Holy Spirit, and was able to see God's love and purpose for him in a tangible way. When that happens, it gives you the confidence to step into those things that have been hidden in your heart and see them become a reality.

A word of knowledge was given in a service about pain in someone's right shoulder. A woman come up with pain in her right shoulder, neck, and back. After praying that God's perfect love engulf her life like a cocoon, she felt the warmth of the Spirit and was totally healed and pain free!

So hopeful to know that our God is ALWAYS in a good mood!!

LIFE JUST DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!
