Can the Brain Really Figure out the Things of the Spirit?
When we try to intellectualize the Word of God we will fail to find Truth. Truth is only found in a relationship with Truth Himself, Jesus. The church is being restored from the dark ages.During the dark ages man institutionalize the church and brought it to a place of intellectualism that made the theories of man take the place of the leading of the Holy Spirit. As in the book of Galatians we can conclude that the church was bewitched and began to use the intellect to finish what was begun in the Spirit. You are so missing what this walk with God is really about if you spend your life trying to understand the mysteries of God through intellectual study and research. When we label and formulate theories for understanding the Bible we actually allow intellectualism (we all have darkend intellects since the fall) which is an enemy towards the spiritual revelations that come by intimacy with God, note that the true revelations will always line up with what God has revealed in His Holy Word. The revelations will always lift up Jesus as the Son of God and as Lord of all that call upon His name for salvation. The intellect needs it's rightful place in the study of the Word, for we are commanded to study to be approved and to rightly divide the Word of God. We need to be the most spiritual people on the planet but our spirituality will produce a sensibility that will amaze the world. The church seems to divide into two camps concerning spiritualism and intellectualism. On one hand you have the intellectual debates and constant highmindedness that uses the mind to dictate truth. On the other exteme you have spiritualism that produces fake faith and outlandish claims that do not come to past thereby causing people to mock Christianity. I believe the restoration of true apostolic ministry will restore the character of Christ to be seen in the people of God, the power of God released to bring forth miracles that will confirm the truth of our message concerning Jesus as Lord and the unconditionally love that can forgive in the cruelist attempts of evil to overtake us. We will have a unity based on the Word being taught with power and a witness in our inner most being concerning truth. Just remember when you read the Word ask the Teacher Himself to guide you into all truth (Holy Spirit teach me the ways of God) and know that He will use all of Scripture to bring you into the two commandments that Jesus revealed to us: Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strenght and love your neighbor as yourself. Sounds easy but for it to be real the Holy Spirit will take you on a journey to completeness in Christ. Enjoy God or you are missing what this journey is really about.....knowing God.

Transitioning into the Apostolic Movement
The prophets of the old testament need to be studied by all those who have entered into the revelations of the prophetic movement. Of course all Christians and non-christians could benefit from studying the prophets of the scriptures but I want to address those who are in the "Prophetic River Movement". First let me assure you that I love every movement that the Holy Spirit breathes life into. I attend and have sponsored events with many of the leaders of the "River Movement". My desire is to prepare those who have hungered for God to reveal His glory, to understand the transitioning that is taking place as we approach the infancy of the Apostolic Movement being restored. I will comment on what God has revealed to me concerning the prophetic movement with it's pure revelations as well as exposing the mixture that has crept into the "River". My desire is to be the voice that God has called me to be even if some people aren't open to God sending prophetic voices to bring not only direction but correction (hence the need to study the prophets). Looking forward to your comments and your support. I know that many have felt a need to voice their disapproval at times of what others have tried to label christian freedom but truly only glorifies sin and perversion. Just felt led to have a blog where I could speak what God is revealing to me so that those who are led to read it and participate could. God bless and thank you Jesus for freedom in you.
