12 Things that the Holy Ghost has convicted me on for 2009:
In the last 12 months we have seen changes like never before - the very shaking of every thing to the very foundation - in Politics, in the Economy and in the Social Realm. But the Church does not even realize that this same shaking going on has also affected her deeply and a new movement has been emerging and will soon fully emerge with a new name. How can we all especially those of us in covenant in the Vineyard International Christian Ministries and our associates embrace these changes and come to terms that The Charismatic Movement and many other major Denominations as we know them have ended. Episcopal Church of the USA (ECUSA) now known in many quarters at The Episcopal Church (TEC) have shifted from a God believing Anglican Church to gods believing Anglican Church - where whatever you can believe is welcomed and whatever lifestyle you want to pursue is sanctified. As long as what you do does not physically hurt anyone else, it is nobody's business and therefore moral and acceptable. The same goes to even those Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches where this type of moral platitude maybe condemned from the pulpit but is secretly practiced from the pulpit to the pew until exposed to the press.
Here are 12 Things that the Holy Ghost has convicted me on:
The cloud is moving and has shifted. We can no longer do Church as usual or even attempt to pitch our tents around the patterns and revivals of the past. Beginning with this Year of Fruitfulness, for us to advance and become fruitful, methods or ways of doing Church that are no longer fruitful must be discarded.
What must we immediately discard:
1. Excesses, extremes and flaky doctrines.
2. One-man show that often gender into entertainment flowered with great Organ and Yelling hype.
3. The Prosperity Circus of the Past Years.
4. The deceptive hype of the past especially in fund-raising and in healing services.
What must we immediately embrace:
1. Embrace the power of the Holy Spirit like never before as we place high premium on evangelism, small-group discipleship, social justice and world missions.
2. Become extravagant in giving to outreach.
3. Become relational, not event-driven.
4. Demand character from leaders rather than simply celebrating a man or woman's spiritual anointing.
5. Become connected in a healthy, relational way to other churches in a non- denominational or restrictive sense while refusing all labels.
6. Really become free to pray, dream and be creative about how we should reach the children, high school students, business leaders, drug addicts, immigrants, homeless people, twenty-something's and church dropouts in this communities where the Lord has planted us.
7. We must join God in tearing down the walls that divide us whether they be racial, tribal, denominational, gender and political or anything else. They must be done away with if the Church of God will take her Kingdom Place on this Earth - no matter what goes on in the world or in any other realm.
8. Embrace today's technological revolution in all its ramifications as tools of global and market-place evangelism.
In sum, we must not fight the changes God wants to bring in our lives. As you hold on to His unchangeable love, allow God to push the reset button. Then buckle your seat belt and hold on. We are in for the ride of our lives throughout this Year of Fruitfulness even the Year 2009!

TRANSLATING THE POWER OF FIVE INTO FIVE THOUSAND - THE MYSTERTY OF MAY 2009
Beloved,
"Taking the five loaves and ........." Luke 9:16"
May is the Fifth Month of the Year 2009 - The Month for the realization of God's Appointment for your Destiny. The month to experience a unique encounter with God - the Season for "Springing Forth and Out" for the world to see you as God sees you. You are qualified for this encounter because you are the righteousness of God. It is a mystery - God turning Your Five (what you have) into Your Five Thousand (what you need). You are His dear blessed child, washed and forgiven by His sacrifice and made blameless and holy in His sight. You are the prime target of multiplication of resources this month of May which is symbolized by the Miracle of Jesus Christ in the Feeding of the Five Thousand.
Remember, Beloved, that it is the truth that you know that sets you free. This truth boldly confronts one of the subtle deceptions that has so many people bound. That deception has made many of God's children slaves to the approval of others and captive to the drive of selfish ambition. All in an attempt to feel good about themselves and yet experiencing no multiplication or elevation in life. But God in Christ Jesus has set you free from this fruitless endeavor. For the Mystery of the Month of May - The Power of '5' means that:
You would be multiplied in all dimensions beginning with the love of God because of who You are in Christ, not for what You do.
You do not have to strive to earn your acceptance by man or God because God has made You accepted in the beloved.
You are not accepted or promoted based on your performance or your ability because the favor of God will turn Your Five into Your Five Thousand.
You do not have to keep up with today's so-called standards of living to be worthwhile or credible.
You can have opinions that differ from others without fear of being disqualified from love because God's love makes You secure in Him. Therefore, You can risk being
You and yet prospering.
You are free to explore and develop all the uniqueness of your God-given personality without penalty.
You no longer have to struggle or perform to fill the gnawing void that tells You that you are nothing without accomplishments, awards or popularity.
You need to know that the Power of '5' means that your struggles are OVER - if only you can believe it.
'5' as we know it is the Number of Divine Appointment or Encounter and by prophetic transactions, it is the May (the Fifth Month of the Year 2009) is the month of translating FIVE into FIVE THOUSAND in this Year of Fruitfulness. '2' is the Number of Divine Agreement !!!!
WHERE IS YOUR FIVE?????
Whatever we have in our hand or in our possession is that FIVE. We must be willing to use or sow from all our resources, talents and gifts for Jesus - then we will reap the FIVE THOUSAND return beginning with this month of May.
"And looking up to heaven" Luke 9:
This is the right month to enter into covenant of appointment with the Father (by faith, nothing mystical here) based on the Number '5' and understand thereof what it means to look to the Father - our perspective changes and we see our Provider - not the problem. Based on the principle and power of the 3 T's of Time, Talent or Treasure) of '5000' (Five attached to three '0' intensities.
This is the sure month of making The Covenant of Appointment with the Father based on the Number '5' as to quickly access the power of creative miracle this Year 2009 that changes what we HAVE into what we NEED.
"He gave thanks And broke them"
BREAKING - THE WAY OF THE CROSS - MAKING MENTAL TRANSFORMATION POSSIBLE !!!
It is in breaking that bounty flows - this is the message of the Season. Our Lord Jesus' body was broken so that we might be made whole. Yet, as disciples we will still experience our own personal time of breaking - operating on this Principle - so that we can break out and break forth. Yes, until we let go (break-away) that FIVE which is what we have in our hands, we cannot exprience this multiplication of FIVE THOUSAND.
This is the month whereby if we can muster the faith as small as a mustard seed we can move mountains. In other words, we can expect to see the creative miracle power of the Number '5' working for us in acceleration in any and all situations if we hold on to this unction and to the Father's heart. This Month of May being the 'Month 5' of 2009, we just need to access God's presence, understand He is Creator God and acknowledge the Holy Spirit moves on words spoken in faith to give us our 5000 level multiplication in all dimensions. Praise God.

The Types of Repositioning That Will Begin In The Fourth Month of Year 2009 !!!
God revealed to us as the Year 2009 began that this Year 2009 will be like no other year in the History of the Black the World over. It will mark the 40 Years of the Death of Martin Luther King (when I gave the Black Man in America the right to be really free) and most importantly it will mark the 400 Years the first black Slaves arrived to the Coasts of the USA from the Coasts of Africa. Therefore have I raised President Barack Obama to be the sign of this and to serve the World as the 44th President of the USA and to hold the 40th Presidential Inauguration at the Capitol. Hence, during the Passover and Easter of Year 2009 which is the 4th Month of your Solar and Gregorian Calendar but the 1st Month of the Jewish Calendar, I will begin FOUR major types of Repositioning for the Believing Heart especially of those who have been down and held down. Remember that for the practicing Jewish people, the first time to bring in the First Fruit to God. The reason being that the First governs the Rest and the Fruit also is dependent upon and determined by the Roots. Those Believers who practice the giving of their first fruit either by the Gregorian Calendar or by the Jewish Calendar know these Truth. Now, all these will begin on the Passover of Year 2009 which is on April 8 (4 doubled or the twice of 4), 2009. The Number '4' being the Number of Revelation - the beginning of real manifestation.
The Next Five Months are Critical and The Passover and Easter of 2009 marks the beginning of this Repositioning. Beginning with the Passover and Easter of 2009, I will release such a profound resurrection power of my visitation to fulfill all my promises that will birth fruitfulness in my people in this Year of Fruitfulness even Year 2009, says the Lord. There will be two dimensions to this: The Passover Dimension which in Hebrew means 'halt' - a time many will be halting between two opinions to fully obey the Lords instruction as to escape the Death Angel and Egypt or perish like the Egyptians under the fury of the Death Angel. It is like the days of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel as the people halted between two opinions - going all the way with the Lord or going all the way with the idol (false god) Baal. But the Passover for the Believer is a time to come out from every slavery or bondage - the restricted place - and enter into the great expanse of God's blessings.
Now, Barack and Michelle Obama are the Symbols of this Passover and Easter of this Year 2009 for the believing Heart and it will mean Seven Things:
a) A time or moment to end your Slavery - having no authority and rights.
b) A time or moment to end your Bondage - having no freedom and privileges.
c) A time or moment to end the oppression of the taskmasters (the demonic).
d) A time or moment to end the power of frustration - hopelessness.
e) A time or moment to end every limitation.
f) A time or moment to end the Power of the Destiny Destroyer.
g) A time or moment to end to end the syndrome of No Harvest - No Success.
But on the whole, this Passover and Easter brings for the Believer for Four Types of Repositions:
1. Spiritual Repositioning
Key adjustments need to be made in our relationship with God. Many have been prioritizing ministry and giftedness over intimacy with God, like Martha (Lk 10:38-42) and the Corinthian church. Ministry will not bring the supernatural favor or deliverance that intimacy will, as Psalm 91 emphasizes. Some individuals, ministries, and churches will be led to adjust their priorities and procedures to circulate everything around intimacy with Him.
Some have been prioritizing good behavior and "godliness" over intimacy with God. The Ephesian church had a "Godliness Resume" more impressive than many of our churches today, yet Jesus called them backslidden-fallen from a great height-for abandoning intimacy with Him (Rev 2:1-5)! Goodness and "godliness" without intimacy will not bring the necessary divine favor or deliverance for the coming seasons. Remember Psalm 91!
2. Emotional and Relational Repositioning
Key adjustments need to be made in our emotional and relational life. Many are emotionally set in shame and need to be reset in innocence. Some are set in a stained feeling and need to be reset in a pure feeling. Some are set in fear and need to be reset in confidence. Some are set in habitual feelings of frustration and need to be reset in feelings of progress and momentum. Some are set in rejection and need to be reset in acceptance. Some are set in invalidation and low self-esteem and need to be reset in value and worth. Some are set in depression and need to be reset in joy. Some are set in aggression and need to be reset in kindness. Some are set in ongoing feelings of confusion and need to be reset in feelings of clarity. Some are set in powerlessness and need to be reset in felt power and capability. Some are set in abandonment and need to be reset in "cared for". Some are set in hopelessness and need to be reset in hope.
Do not get overwhelmed by this list. We are all maturing emotionally into Christ-like emotions. Simply ask and wait for the Spirit to illuminate the emotional cross-over He wants you make, then go from there. Psalm 147:2,3: The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Along with emotional issues, some will be led to reposition relationally. This means key adjustments need to be made in their relationships and social life. Some will be led to sift or redefine their inner circle, or closest relationships. Some will be led to sift or redefine their outer circle, or social affiliations. Some will be led to adjust specific relational patterns that are crooked and unhealthy. Some will be led to distance or cut off completely from toxic people. Some will be led to restore or intensely cultivate certain connections. Some ministries and churches will be led to rearrange their networks, partnerships, or financial supports.
Relationships are always huge, but they will be even huger in coming seasons. It is not only about avoiding toxic people, or not over-investing in unhelpful or unfruitful individuals/groups, it is also about recognizing the "key holders" and "hand-ups" that God sends. If He touches your heart concerning relationships, adjust whatever He points to.
3. Intellectual And Vocational Repositioning
Key adjustments need to be made in our opinions and logic. This will also makes a shift in our vocation - the willingness to reposition ourselves for the very maximization of our skills and intellect. The possibilities here are endless, so I'll be general. For many, your opinions (about whatever) will be the death of self - The Self in you has to die. Change now! Good and bad things will happen, and both will be magnified in coming days, but only the Christian who has adequately repositioned himself in his mind will be able to detect the supernatural interpretation of such things. Romans 12:2 and 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 are phenomenal passages concerning this. Remember, revelation comes from the Spirit/our spirit into our mind-the Spirit of wisdom and revelation enlightens our understanding (Eph 1:17,18 NKJV). Therefore, our mind must be prepared and positioned so that incoming revelation is not bypassed or discarded as a meaningless thought or imaginative residue or demonic suggestion. The Christian's logic must be entirely Scriptural and spiritual.
This means key adjustments need to be made in their job and career. Some will be touched to change jobs completely, while others will be led to simply change their emphasis or responsibilities in their existing job. Some will be moved to work more (jobs or hours), some to work less. Whatever the adjustment, God will be touching many to take small or gigantic steps toward their life calling, to move more and more into work that satisfies their unique design (Ps 139:13-16 NKJV).
The Spirit will touch some ministries and churches to better synchronize their workers' responsibilities with their unique design. Leadership structures will be reorganized and reset. Some leaders will be added, some released. Follow the Spirit repositioning your organization's personnel and task distribution
Again, do not be overwhelmed. You do not need a perfect mind going into the coming seasons, only a repositioned mind in the opinion(s) God brings to your attention. Ask and wait with all willingness, then jump the fence and cross over to the other perspective when He shows you.
4. Doctrinal and Ecclesiastic Repositioning
key adjustments need to be made in the area of church. Some might need to leave their present congregation, for positive or negative reasons. Some might need to reposition themselves where they are at (new place of service, new small group, more/less responsibility, more/less time investment, different ministry style, etc...). Some might need to plant themselves, and I mean truly connect and invest, in a solid Bible-based fellowship. Many will also be led to reposition doctrinally. This means key adjustments need to be made in what they believe (and therefore, practice) about certain biblical subjects. Incorrect, partial, or watered-down doctrines on certain subjects will prove costly in the coming seasons. God knows this, and is illuminating His cross-denominational church with greater understanding of biblical truth.
This is not a denominational thing, or a "movement" thing-this is a Bible thing. The Spirit will be repositioning many Christians' doctrinal settings so that it will favor and deliver them in time to come, not trap and trip them. Some "Church of Christ" or "Charismatic" might become more "Presbyterian" or "Methodist", while some "Baptists" or "Catholics" might become more "nondenominational" or "Charismatic" or "Church of Christ". And vice versa and on and on.
The Head of the body is converging and integrating the faithful, Bible-believing, Spirit-led body parts for the coming seasons and final seasons. The God of heaven and earth could not care any less about our man-made, man-centered, man-glorifying denominations. He cares about His Name, His Bible, His kingdom, and saving sinners, and whoever else cares about these things will find themselves in one and the same mighty rushing River! So be humble and compliant to whatever doctrinal adjustments the Spirit convicts you to make. It might just save your neck and bless your family in ways you could never foresee.
What The Resurrection Power of Easter in This Year 2009 will Yield to Us Because Of Repositioning:
1. A Willingness within the Body to rise up from the Death on the Word of God.
2. Therefore an Enforcement Angel or Angels Dispatched to ensure there is no encumbrance or hindrance to the very Word of God.
3. The Death Wrap (all Limitations) removed for Total Freedom and Liberty.
4. The Closed Door Stone Rolled Away by the Angels - Your Coming Out from Every Bondage and Oppression has been guaranteed.
5. The Sign of The Empty Tomb - The Announcement of the End of your Slavery and Bondage signaling the Possession of All Authority over Life and Death - I am not WHO Christ is but I am WHAT Christ is.
6. The Soldiers (or Your Enemies) rendered powerless and destroyed - The Egyptians you now see will be no more (cease to exist) after this Season.
7. The Mary Magdalene Syndrome - Suspense and Joy will grip and mesmerize All who sees you (those who encounters you) after this Season. Repositioning in this Easter Moment means that the Glory and Anointing of God will be on you like never before as to forever either change your Destiny or create a New Destiny for you. Get on and move into it.
These are the REVELATIONS for this Hour and this Season !!!
Remain in Expection which is the essence of Hope. Expect a Change in this Season. Maranatha.
In His Righteousness,

4. Doctrinal and Ecclesiastic Repositioning
key adjustments need to be made in the area of church. Some might need to leave their present congregation, for positive or negative reasons. Some might need to reposition themselves where they are at (new place of service, new small group, more/less responsibility, more/less time investment, different ministry style, etc...). Some might need to plant themselves, and I mean truly connect and invest, in a solid Bible-based fellowship. Many will also be led to reposition doctrinally. This means key adjustments need to be made in what they believe (and therefore, practice) about certain biblical subjects. Incorrect, partial, or watered-down doctrines on certain subjects will prove costly in the coming seasons. God knows this, and is illuminating His cross-denominational church with greater understanding of biblical truth.
This is not a denominational thing, or a "movement" thing-this is a Bible thing. The Spirit will be repositioning many Christians' doctrinal settings so that it will favor and deliver them in time to come, not trap and trip them. Some "Church of Christ" or "Charismatic" might become more "Presbyterian" or "Methodist", while some "Baptists" or "Catholics" might become more "nondenominational" or "Charismatic" or "Church of Christ". And vice versa and on and on.
The Head of the body is converging and integrating the faithful, Bible-believing, Spirit-led body parts for the coming seasons and final seasons. The God of heaven and earth could not care any less about our man-made, man-centered, man-glorifying denominations. He cares about His Name, His Bible, His kingdom, and saving sinners, and whoever else cares about these things will find themselves in one and the same mighty rushing River! So be humble and compliant to whatever doctrinal adjustments the Spirit convicts you to make. It might just save your neck and bless your family in ways you could never foresee.
What The Resurrection Power of Easter in This Year 2009 will Yield to Us Because Of Repositioning:
1. A Willingness within the Body to rise up from the Death on the Word of God.
2. Therefore an Enforcement Angel or Angels Dispatched to ensure there is no encumbrance or hindrance to the very Word of God.
3. The Death Wrap (all Limitations) removed for Total Freedom and Liberty.
4. The Closed Door Stone Rolled Away by the Angels - Your Coming Out from Every Bondage and Oppression has been guaranteed.
5. The Sign of The Empty Tomb - The Announcement of the End of your Slavery and Bondage signaling the Possession of All Authority over Life and Death - I am not WHO Christ is but I am WHAT Christ is.
6. The Soldiers (or Your Enemies) rendered powerless and destroyed - The Egyptians you now see will be no more (cease to exist) after this Season.
7. The Mary Magdalene Syndrome - Suspense and Joy will grip and mesmerize All who sees you (those who encounters you) after this Season. Repositioning in this Easter Moment means that the Glory and Anointing of God will be on you like never before as to forever either change your Destiny or create a New Destiny for you. Get on and move into it.
These are the REVELATIONS for this Hour and this Season !!!
Remain in Expection which is the essence of Hope. Expect a Change in this Season. Maranatha.

THIS FOURTH MONTH IS FOR REPOSITIONING
APRIL - THE NUMBER 4 (REVELATION NUMBER) FOR YEAR 2009 IS A MONTH FOR REPOSITIONING !!!
What does repositioning mean?
To understand reposition, we ought to understand position. Position means "the manner in which a person is placed, arranged, set, or situated". I like the word "situated". Our position, then, in a certain area of life refers to how we are situated in that particular area. For example, a person can be poorly positioned in their relationships. This could mean they are relating to others from a place of baggage and crookedness, or, it might mean they are in relationship with harmful and toxic people, or, it might mean they are not keeping in step with the Spirit who is trying to evolve their existing relationships. On the other hand, a person might be correctly positioned relationally by having repositioned themselves (adjusted and re-situated) correctly in the above scenarios.
Our journey with God will require ongoing repositioning beginning in this month of April 2009. Part of this is because God must rearrange our incorrect life arrangements, arrangements He did not inspire or initiate. This is the sanctification or transformation process whereby we are gradually being conformed to Christ-likeness in every area. Another reason is because of our destiny's multi-dimensionality. Our calling possesses different features and depths, and therefore, requires our ongoing repositioning to successfully actualize these dimensions.
Though our entire lives will be marked by repositioning, there are key seasons where God initiates major, high importance repositioning that have significant consequence potential. These are landmark seasons in our life and calling, personally and corporately, and are more crucial to recognize than the typical repositioning we continuously experience simply by being a Christian.
5 Months of Repositioning
Beginning in April and spanning an approximate 5-month season, significant portions of Spirit-targeted individuals will be divinely-initiated to reposition themselves in high importance ways. The Lord is sending this word because of the consequence of this 5-month window, how it will reset hinge areas for the future. The Lord calls from heaven for us to hear and see. Hear Him!
This Coming Summer of Year 2009 - Is Crucial for Fruitfulness
Many of these repositioning will have relevance for this summer of 2009. Many that do and do not adjust faithfully will reap in the summer.
Why now?
Fruitfulness of Year 2009 means that Year 2009 is a Year of Soul-winning. In 2009, many unsaved friends, family members, and people in general will look to Christians nearby for solutions. Some will do this for the first time ever. Even some that have mocked or hated Christians will have unusual and unexpected mind-changes. For many of us, God will be resetting our lives in ways that will produce great victories and desirable circumstances, perfuming us with an attractive fragrance to these 2009-seekers.
God is reassuring us that Year 2009 is a Year of Protection. It has been prophesied already that 2009 will see difficult days in certain aspects of America. We are seeing it already not only in the Economy of this Nation and in the Political Arena but all the levels of the Social fabric of this nation. Isaiah 3:10,11 and Psalm 37:18,19 have glorious assurances, though, for the truly faithful Christians: Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done...The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
In this Year 2009 and immediately beyond, Christians will flourish significantly or struggle significantly to the degree they are properly positioned in each area of their life. Of course, this principle is true always. However, as already mentioned, there are situations and seasons where proper positioning has much greater consequence, for better or worse. 2009 and immediately beyond is such a time. Faithful adjustment in the next several months will result in supernatural protection, provision, prosperity, and power thereafter.
Oh Christians, hear the words falling from the Lord! Listen and shift in a time of shifting, and be covered in the day of sifting for your fruitfulness! Be abundant in the day of scarcity! Be powerful in the day of weakness! Choose the choice of the Lord! I will continue this trend of thought and prophetic utterances next week. Till then, keep being prophetic and walking in revelation. Maranatha.

"How can you distinguish between a random idea and a God-idea?”
I have been dealing with the mysteries of numbers for so long now that I can't help but delve deeper into the biblical implications of numbers. Everything about you and I are in numbers. We do ask, "How old are you," "What is your height," "What is your weight," "What size do you wear," "How many times do you eat in a day," and so on. Everything about us is in measurements. But what is the mind of Christ Jesus in revealing all these things to us. What are their implications for this Year of Fruitfulness even Year 2009?
Is it really true that we have “the mind of Christ?” But then, what is 'the mind of Christ?" If our goal this 2009 is to leave behind old, worn-out thoughts and open our minds to God’s fresh flow of new ideas, new opportunities and new dreams. Then the starting point to change a life or ministry for the better is to change our thoughts—the content of our thoughts as well as how we think about ourselves, our lives, our ministries and the world around us in terms of numbers and their implications as we number our days here on Earth. When we change the way we think, we set up a new pattern of perception that raises our awareness of the world around us especially on numbers or symbols and permits us to see that world more clearly.
We must determine that a great part of our mission is to stretch our thought lives. We must intensely study ourselves and the world around us and pray ourselves back to life again in appreciating all that Gos has given us in alpha-numeric formulations and symbols!
The most important foundational secret to building an effective life or ministry is: “Your thoughts control your life.” The thoughts you choose to occupy your consciousness will control what you become. For example, if you focus your thought life on the fact that this year 2009 is about Fruitfulness and base your confessions on all that God has declared in His word about fruitfulness, then you are bound to reap a great harvest this year. Again if you believe that the Year 2009 is symbolic because it begins with the digit 2 and ends with the digit 9 and has intense nothing in-between. Therefore, the difference between those two digits is the difference God will make in your life in this Year 2009 - even as your thought intensively stays on it in your confessions, then you will experience 'REST' - in all you do because the differential digit '7' is the number of rest or completion. But you must enter into this thought process and confession with an apostolic mind-set while possessing the anointing of 'finishing' or 'completing' in whatever you have begun to do or whatever God has begun to do in your life. As you pray in this Year 2009 for fullness in all things, fullness will come your way in this Year 2009. Rather than copying stale prophetic utterances and ministries of the past years, the understanding of the mysteries of numbers and symbols will become a springboard for new, innovative ideas that will catapult us forward and deeper into twenty-first century ministry.
To every one that believes in the five-fold ministries, here is my question, "How can you distinguish between a random idea and a God-idea?” I will answer by asking four questions:
1. Is the idea worthy of my consideration? The Scripture describes the kinds of thoughts we are to have in our lives
(Philippians 4:7-8).
2. Does the idea glorify God? If there is any aspect of the idea that does not glorify the Lord, then it is not a God-idea.
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
3. Is anyone else doing it? If someone else is doing then we should collaborate with them instead of competing with them. (Romans 12:4-6; 1 Corinthians 12:26)
4. Will it help a lot of people? There can be no doubt that a God-idea will help a lot people. If not, then it is not a God-idea.
“Your thoughts control your life especially on numbers and symbols” are the TEN words of one of the most important, foundational concepts in life and ministry success.
Please send me your comments even as I pray that God will richly bless you in the study of numbers and symbols; that the Year 2009 will truely be for you a Year of Fruitfulness.
In Christ,

A Christian Approach to Dreams from Real Life based on Biblical Patterns
YEAR 2009 - THE YEAR OF SYMBOLS, SIGNS, NUMBERS AND DREAMS.
Dreaming About The Dead or Death News:
Text: Mathew 2:19-20 - "But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life."
When we dream about the Dead: Dead People, Dead Father, Dead Mother, Dead Relative or friends
To dream of the dead, is usually a dream of warning or instruction. If you see and talk with your father or someone of fatherly authority in your life like your Pastor or Bishop, some transaction that instead of bringing you a blessing is about to trigger a curse is about to be made by you. Be careful how you enter into contracts, enemies are around you. Men and women are warned to look to their reputations after this type of dream.
To see your mother, warns you to control your inclination to cultivate fear of any sort that leads to morbidness or death and also when you harbor ill-will towards any one or people around you. But you dream of a dead brother, or other relatives or friends, it denotes that you may be called on for help or charity or aid within a short time, if they have not been calling you and you have been ignoring their calls.
To dream of seeing the dead, living and happy, signifies you are letting wrong influences into your life, which will bring material loss if not corrected by the assumption of your own will force.
To dream that you are conversing with a dead relative, and that relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns you of coming distress, unless you follow the advice given you. Disastrous consequences could often be averted if minds could grasp the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self. The voice of relatives is only that higher self taking form to approach more distinctly the mind that lives near the material plane. There is so little congeniality between common or material natures that persons should depend upon their own subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
It may happen that sometimes an Angel or some Spiritual Persons we know or have heard about who have died perhaps fifty years or more ago may appear to us in a dream, and if it speaks to us we should pay special attention to what it says, for such a vision is not an illusion or delusion like in the case of Joseph in our text above, and it is possible that a man is as much able to use his reason during the sleep of his body as when the latter is awake; and if in such a case such a soul appears to him and he asks questions, he will then hear that which is true like in the case of Joseph again as concerning the death of King Herod. Through these solicitous (Angelic or Spiritual) beings we may obtain a great deal of knowledge to good or to evil things if we ask them to reveal them to us or if they just went ahead and instructs us. Many persons have had such prayers granted to them. Some people that were sick have been informed during their sleep what remedies they should use, and after using the remedies, they became cured, and such things have happened not only to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and heathens, to good and to bad persons.''
A Corpse or the Presence of a Coffin or Burial: This is the end of something - a relationship, an affair or business or whatever. If burial is involved, it means something is being hidden for good or being put away out of sight.
Fighting:
It usually symbolizes anger and confusion that comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a change is needed or that you want to change internally. Fighting with strangers usually represents an internal struggle. Fighting with familiar people may be an extension of daily life and a reflection on your relationship with them. Fighting with animals or beasts usually represents an external struggle with forces outside of you that are resisting the change or changes you are about to make and would want to destroy you if they could. But if the animals or beasts are fighting among themselves it represent those forces outside of you coming together to create confusion around you in times of change. If you don't persevere they would muster enough confusion around you to impede this change or stop you on your track.

Dreaming About The Dead or Death News:
Text: Mathew 2:19-20 - "But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life."
When we dream about the Dead: Dead People, Dead Father, Dead Mother, Dead Relative or friends
To dream of the dead, is usually a dream of warning or instruction. If you see and talk with your father or someone of fatherly authority in your life like your Pastor or Bishop, some transaction that instead of bringing you a blessing is about to trigger a curse is about to be made by you. Be careful how you enter into contracts, enemies are around you. Men and women are warned to look to their reputations after this type of dream.
To see your mother, warns you to control your inclination to cultivate fear of any sort that leads to morbidness or death and also when you harbor ill-will towards any one or people around you. But you dream of a dead brother, or other relatives or friends, it denotes that you may be called on for help or charity or aid within a short time, if they have not been calling you and you have been ignoring their calls.
To dream of seeing the dead, living and happy, signifies you are letting wrong influences into your life, which will bring material loss if not corrected by the assumption of your own will force.
To dream that you are conversing with a dead relative, and that relative endeavors to extract a promise from you, warns you of coming distress, unless you follow the advice given you. Disastrous consequences could often be averted if minds could grasp the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self. The voice of relatives is only that higher self taking form to approach more distinctly the mind that lives near the material plane. There is so little congeniality between common or material natures that persons should depend upon their own subjectivity for true contentment and pleasure.
It may happen that sometimes an Angel or some Spiritual Persons we know or have heard about who have died perhaps fifty years or more ago may appear to us in a dream, and if it speaks to us we should pay special attention to what it says, for such a vision is not an illusion or delusion like in the case of Joseph in our text above, and it is possible that a man is as much able to use his reason during the sleep of his body as when the latter is awake; and if in such a case such a soul appears to him and he asks questions, he will then hear that which is true like in the case of Joseph again as concerning the death of King Herod. Through these solicitous (Angelic or Spiritual) beings we may obtain a great deal of knowledge to good or to evil things if we ask them to reveal them to us or if they just went ahead and instructs us. Many persons have had such prayers granted to them. Some people that were sick have been informed during their sleep what remedies they should use, and after using the remedies, they became cured, and such things have happened not only to Christians, but also to Jews, Persians, and heathens, to good and to bad persons.''
A Corpse or the Presence of a Coffin or Burial: This is the end of something - a relationship, an affair or business or whatever. If burial is involved, it means something is being hidden for good or being put away out of sight.
Fighting:
It usually symbolizes anger and confusion that comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a change is needed or that you want to change internally. Fighting with strangers usually represents an internal struggle. Fighting with familiar people may be an extension of daily life and a reflection on your relationship with them. Fighting with animals or beasts usually represents an external struggle with forces outside of you that are resisting the change or changes you are about to make and would want to destroy you if they could. But if the animals or beasts are fighting among themselves it represent those forces outside of you coming together to create confusion around you in times of change. If you don't persevere they would muster enough confusion around you to impede this change or stop you on your track.
