“YOUR SOURCE BECOMES YOUR ROOT”

“Your Source becomes your Root”

What is the source of our life? What keeps us going? What is the main flow into our life? Our source in life is what empowers us, influences our thinking and our emotions. Our main source directs our life.

What is the root of our life? From the root of our life comes the nourishment of our life. The root is what has been planted in us. We have to allow it to grow (or not) until it becomes deep and secures the strength of our lives to produce fullness and good things or not.

I came across this verse in Ephesians 3:17 TP’T and the Lord began to impress me to share this. God is working so deeply with his church, his true believers, to bring them into a rich full life that glorifies Him in all their ways. God wants us to find that deep resting place in His heart and root deep in that place. It is always by FAITH that we can find and have all that God gives us.

Therefore, let me share this verse;

Then, by constantly using YOUR FAITH, the life of Christ will be released DEEP INSIDE YOU and the RESTING PLACE OF HIS LOVE; will become the SOURCE and the ROOT of YOUR LIFE.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, you and your word are inseparable and are both the source and the root of my life. Give me the grace in the midst of chaos and business to find the resting place in your love and live there in your peace. Amen Janee Hawks

CITIZENS OF HEAVEN

Leave a reply

SOMETHING ON MY HEART: Just some thoughts to meditate on and pray about. It is what the Lord has been talking to me about. The Lord willing, I will expand on it later.

If the Holy Spirit abides in us then;

We are citizens (first) of HEAVEN, where the Lord Jesus lives …Phil 3:20 NLT

Above all, you must live as citizens of Heaven, Phil 1:27

And as members of the church of the Firstborn, all our names have been legally registered as citizens of heaven! Hebrews12:23 TPT

So it seems our main citizenship that is eternal is in Heaven. We have the right to every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places in Christ. Eph.1:3 This is for now.

We are told in Colossians we have been raised with Christ, we sit together with Him so we are to seek “those things” which are above. We are to set (meaning fix unmovable ) our hearts and minds on “those things” which are above, not on the things on the earth. We are to be learning every day how heaven operates. What is Heaven saying? The Kingdom of God which is within us wants to connect with Heaven and bring it to earth. This for now. It is Jesus’ plan as He prayed it in Matthew 6. So it seems we are not to discount spiritual encounters with Heaven. They are for the Glory and purposes of God on the earth. They are to teach you to be a good citizen of Heaven.

HEAVEN It is the home of our King, The Lord Jesus Christ, and our Father. Our names are registered there. It is our eternal citizenship.

Citizenship requires learning about the country and using the language and living the customs of that country. That speaks to me of being very fluent in the language of Holy Spirit and seeking to understand and live the customs and ways of the Kingdom of God. Jesus opened the door to come up for us now. (Rev,4) He is the gate we go through. He is the door we go through. He is our ladder. He is our purpose. His word is our guide into “The Fathers House in Heaven.” We can learn how to bring the power of Heaven to Earth now. We are just aliens in this world. We should not fit. But we should always be looking for His bride to be and living the witness of the Lord Jesus, releasing His fragrance everywhere all the time. TEACH US HOLY SPIRIT

FIX YOUR THOUGHTS

Leave a reply

The Bible tells us “to fix our thoughts”As the dictionary says to fix something is to fasten it securely in one place or position. Many times I have thought it is like setting the thermostat of our homes at a certain temperature so it will remain there steadfast as long as we leave it there. Likewise, we are to fix our eyes and our thoughts upon Jesus daily. It is critical that our thoughts are fixed on His ways, His words, His actions, His nature, and His power. We are to constantly discipline our thoughts. We must practice daily to securely fasten our thoughts to line up with His heart and mind. We must remember constantly what Holy Spirit has taught us through the Word and through the life experiences in our relationship with Jesus.

“Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received fro me_ everything you heard fro me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. “(Phil 4:8-9)

Another powerful scripture for your thoughts is 2 Corinth 10:5 “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” God’s word is alive and you can experience it not just read it. “If we believe it we can do the Word and it works. “ The Word is eternal and is the only absolute truth.

Our minds are the battlefield. The devil fights us the most through our thoughts. Many times thoughts come that may be partially true but contain lies that would hinder us greatly, even change the direction of our lives. Sometimes we have thoughts we don’t know why or where they come from. Take these thoughts into captivity with Jesus and let Him take care of them. Visualize putting them in the Jail where Jesus holds the keys. He will let you know anything you need to know from there. Then rest and trust Him for He is always faithful.

The enemy will always give you thoughts to try to plant some darkness in your heart. And lies or darkness that plants in your heart will defile your purity and defeat your victory walk in Jesus.Therefore, The word instructs us to “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of springs the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23 NKJV. “Guard your hearts above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” NLV

We should always ask Holy Spirit to keep us in His light of revelation and discernment. It is good to let this scripture be our constant prayer.

Psalm 19:14

AMP: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight,
O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer. “

TPT: “So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts,
and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing,
acceptable before your eyes, my only Redeemer, my Protector-God.^”

“THREE DAYS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING”

Leave a reply

There are three days in our history, His-Story, which completely defeated the revolt against God both in Heaven and Earth. These three days made the way to restore all creation back into its original harmony. These three days gave all mankind a way back to the glorious life in the Garden of Eden designed by our creator God. Every year we celebrate Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. We tend to forget there was also a second day, Saturday, when our Lord became “the Champion” over the entire dark Kingdom. Jesus rendered the devil powerless and reversed the fall of all creation.

On Good FridayJesus knelt in the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. His soul suffered to the decree of sweating great drops of blood as He surrendered to His destiny. He saw the cross that the sins of the whole world would lay on Him and knew God would have to forsake Him for a moment of time. This day He died on the cross in the greatest suffering which was the greatest victory ever won. The sacrifice for all sin was made and the debt mankind owed was paid. God Himself, In Jesus, became man, laying His life down as the ultimate sacrifice for all people. Now whoever will believe and repent can become like God living forever with Him. What a great exchange. He was condemned, we were forgiven; He was forsaken, we were accepted; His soul broken, our soul made whole. The final word Jesus spoke on the cross, “It is finished,“echoed with great power throughout all eternity!

Picture the cross with me; there hung the Word who was with God in the beginning, who was God, the creator, willingly paying the price for the sin debt of the revolt against Him. This was the greatest demonstration of His amazing love. There on that cross sin died, and the fallen nature of every person who would believe died. (Galatians 2:20) Sickness, disease and the curse were conquered. Through faith in His shed blood the DNA of God was transfused to the believer. The Transformation to become like God was made possible and the believer was translated out of the dark orphanage of the devil into the Kingdom of light, the family of God. A great exchange was made, a translation happened, a transfusion was given, and a transformation was made possible for all mankind. This began the process of the mystery of God to consummate heaven and earth as one in Christ Jesus. (Eph.1:10) There is so much more!

Jesus looking at the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, disregarding its shame and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. The joy He saw was all people who would believe, of every race, which would be His forever. So let go of every sin that hinders you and run this race to win as though your life depended on it, because it does. Set your focus on Jesus who birthed His faith in you and will lead you into the finished work of that faith. (Hebrews 12:1-3 Eph. 1; Ro.6, Gal.3:20) (Suggest reading Isaiah 53)

One of my favorite songs says it all; “AMAZING LOVE”

I’m forgiven; He was condemned; I’m accepted; He was forsaken. I’m alive and well, and His Spirit lives within me Because He died and rose again. Amazing Love, how could it be, that you my King would die for me Amazing Love, I know its true, and it’s my joy to honor you; In all I do, I honor you.

ETERNITY

Leave a reply

As I spent time with the Lord one day about eternity I ask; “JESUS, let me look into eternity. Let me know you, Jesus ,in the scope of eternity. I want to live with access to the past present and future in my spirit man.” Holy Spirit give your understanding and revelation.

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” Jesus in John 17:3

“For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 57:15

Act 15: 18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works

Why does Holy Spirit write in I Corinthians 14:1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts but especially that you many prophesy. And in 14:39 desire earnestly that to prophesy. I believe it is because the realm of prophecy is the eternal realm of past, present and future all of which are eternally present to God. Our spirit man can access this eternal realm with God through various forms of the realms of prophecy. An excellent example in the scriptures is Moses on the mountain in the cleft of the rock asking out of a heart of love and surrender to see God’s glory. I believe Moses was able to access this eternal realm when he met Jesus on the mountain of transfiguration. You could say that Moses went back to the future and saw Christ the hope of glory.

Time is just a gift to us now before we fully enter eternity. Time is like a fast moving train that runs through eternity. We get on this time train when we are born and we get off it when we die bodily, in the natural state. Death is just separation from one place to another. To die in the gift of time is just to separate from this natural world. Enoch jumped the time train into eternity without dying because of how he walked with God. Wow! Selah!

We each had our beginning in the Father God’s heart where we existed as eternal spirits. The Father’s love sent us into time when He knit us into our mothers womb. Every person is born with an eternal purpose to accomplish during their time on the earth. Time is a gift, a chance to shine in our purpose. Time is a chance to be a partaker of eternal life with God. It is a choice every person must make. We should live every day of our lives with an eternal perspective. Eternity is in us!

” He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.” From Amplified Version: Ecclesiastes 3:10-15

SHUT THE DOOR

Leave a reply

Many come in to the Secret Place with the Lord, but forget to shut the door. We may miss what is most important for us. We need to remember to shut the door. Matthew 6:6 “But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private.”

I believe that some of shutting the door is just a constant consciousness effort each time we pray of closing all the cares of life out of your mind and determining not to let anything or anyone distract you from your special time with the Lord no matter how long it is or short. Always it is the quality not necessarily the quantity.
I will just share some practical and simple things that might be helpful reminders of how to shut the door. Sometimes we know these things but just need reminded. I know I do.
So first of all you may want to shut off your phone. If you open your technology and connect with social media it might steal from the time you want to give Jesus. Just work it out so you don’t miss the time with your Creator. You also may need to get up a little earlier or stay up at night for the time. There are days I will skip the noon meal, find a quiet place and pray. If you are home get comfortable place to pray and even shut a real door if possible. Have just your bible and a pen and paper with you. Set this time as best you can when you can be alert and are least apt to be needed or interrupted.
Whenever and wherever you pray He is there with you because He is always faithful. The Lord loves to hear your voice so sing or just thank and praise, as He is as close as the breath you breathe. Romans 10:8 “The message is very close at hand; It is on your lips and in your heart.” Practice and perfect the art of being still in His presence and tune your ears into His voice. Ask Him to show you what is on His heart and mind. Ask Him who and what you need to bring before Him, because if you are like me there are too many and too much to remember. Write things down. Every day ask and trust faithful Holy Spirit to speak to you about the prayer needs of the day and for the grace to love and be obedient. This way His burden is light and His yoke easy because you will be moving with Holy Spirit. When I quit striving to do things right and just lean into Holy Spirit it is like the EASE of moving in water.
Lastly, when we pray we must pray IN FAITH and WITH FATIH. That is praying what God says and thinks and then believing it. Janee Hawks

SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S BODY ON THE EARTH

Leave a reply

Suffering for Christ body on earth

Colossians 1:24 [Even] now I rejoice in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf. And in my own person I am making up whatever is still lacking and remains to be completed [on our part] of Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of His body, which is the church. AMV

What is Holy Spirit saying here through Paul the apostle?

Colossians 1:24-27 (NKJV)

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

The message to the church in these verses is this; as believers, our hope of the fulfillment of being completely in His glory presence is having Christ fully alive in us. It is to grow up into the full stature of Christ. However, that will require the sacrifice of suffering what is still left of Christ’s sufferings. God has left us a part of Christ’s sufferings to fulfill in order for us to be completely filled with His glory presence. We must complete the sufferings of Christ that God has ordained for the purpose of the whole body of Christ to come to full maturity. It is our stewardship to fulfill the word of God especially for ministers gifted to mature the church, but also to all as ambassadors of the good news. The call is to all in different ways and levels. Jesus said to God the Father; “You have given me a body to do your will, I am the offering, once for all.” It is still His body on the earth that must do His will, which includes fulfilling the completion of Christ sufferings. Christ fully mature within us is our glory, The sufferings we willingly endure for the sake of a mature empowered church and to advance the Kingdom of God will grace our lives with such an increase of anointing and resurrection power.

I Peter 4:1-2 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

So Father in Jesus Name let us come before you willing to suffer to do your will for the sake Your Glory in Christ ‘s body on the earth. We are encouraged and thankful that there will be much increased favor and grace on our life. All we do we do out of love for you Jesus. Janee

THE PATH OF HUMBLE AUTHORITY

Leave a reply

It was somewhere between heaven and earth I was being caught up into the vision which I will call “The Path of Humble Authority“ This vision was not just for me only, but was meant to be shared with the body of Christ especially to those who long to be a true disciple of Christ. So put yourself in this vision and see that Jesus is drawing you to this humble authority.

VISION: I first saw an opening, then a path going upward to heaven that looked like a brilliant red carpet. I knew the Lord had done this and was inviting me to go up. As I started up I just knew this red carpet was created from a lifestyle on earth of forgiveness, repentance and purity through Christ’s blood. It was amazing; as Jesus made known to me that heaven’s red carpet is earth’s bloody path. When I reached the top I could see the Father was there but I could only see His glorious light. I also saw Ricky my little son sitting with Jesus and smiling at me as if to say I watch you and am waiting for you.

Then Jesus walked up to me as to greet me. He held a beautiful red robe in His hands, which He placed on me. As I felt the robe on my body I knew it symbolized a life drenched in His blood. Faith in Jesus shed blood created this robe to always cover, to cleanse and to give His very own life and strength. The Lord motioned to me to come sit with Him. Before I could sit down in my own personal chair He came to me and placed a gold chain around my neck. I just knew the gold chain was giving me the authority to rule and reign in my personal inheritance and I felt the life-giving strength of the beautiful blood-red robe around my shoulders as it covered me.

Then Jesus reached out for my hand and placed a ring on my finger that had the imprint of the face of a Lion on it. This ring belonged to the Lion of the tribe of Judah. I knew it was His ring given for me to use in His behalf, by the authority of His name. I was overcome with His presence as Jesus said to me, “I have placed my roar in you that you will prevail and I will lead you.” I knew this was a place of my being seated with Christ in heavenly places as is revealed in Scripture. Jesus sat down at the right hand of Father. He held His scepter in His right hand. He reached out His scepter to me and I touched it. Now I am hearing” Ask and It shall be given.” I saw the words “if you abide in Me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 15:7 Suddenly I saw a fire close to the throne and Jesus said to step into it, so I did. It was a holy fire and I felt its power. When I stepped out of the fire there was a blue flame resting on me.

The scene suddenly changed and I was back on the earth. I was walking on a narrow dusty road. I was wearing a brown robe with a large hood on it. You could hardly see my face. It seemed I was walking hidden in this brown robe. I knew it was a robe of humility and hiddenness that a lowly servant would wear, but also it was for protection. The Lord said to me I have shown you now how I want you to live your life. You will rule and reign in My Kingdom matters and operate your life on the earth from My heart. You are here seated with Me in heavenly places with all My authority for all I have destined for you, but you must walk out your life on the earth as a servant of all with my humility. Then you will be hidden with me in the Fathers will. I have given you a Kingdom….I saw a shoreline …and nations. I did hear more but for now I feel the Lord would have you pray on this vision for what He would say to you and add to you.

INTERPRETING THE VISION

“THE BLOODY PATH WE WALK AND THE BLOODY ROBE WE WEAR.”

This is the robe: “For if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” I Jo. 1:7

This is the red carpet: We can come boldly to Holiest by the blood of Jesus. It’s a new and living way or path. Hebrews 10:19-20

The Blood of Christ is authority and Power: For there are three that bear witness in heaven, The Father, the Word and the Holy Sprit and these there are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth; the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three are as one. I John 5:7-8

Let me explain what the Lord revealed to me from the verse: When the Spirit, the cleansing word, and faith in the blood of Christ come together to witness on the earth it will align with Heavens witness of the Father, the Word (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. This alignment is power and glory for Jesus happens and heaven comes to earth. The blood is an integral part of heaven and earth meeting together as is the word and the Spirit. Therefore we rejoice that in life and in death Jesus provided “the bloody path we humbly walk and the royal bloody robe we gladly wear.” We boldly thank Jesus for sending Holy Spirit into our spirit giving us the authority and power to live out this life victorious in His glorious light. I will “walk it and wear it” with faith and hope. There is wonder working power in the Blood of the Lamb of God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and the Son of God.

RULE FROM A HEAVENLY PLACE WITH CHRIST

God made us alive together with Christ and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above all other powers. Ephesians 2:5-6; 1:20-23 This is NOW beloved.

The “scepter” has meaning in the book of Esther as she gave all to stand before the King. If she found favor the king would allow her to touch his scepter and ask what she desired. Esther 5:2-3 This is amazing grace

Daniel and Joseph were given” gold chains around their necks’ when they were appointed to rule and reign in the Kingdom. (Daniel 5:20;Genesis 41:42) We are given this gold chain to rule and reign in the Kingdom as we are given our own personal inheritance on the earth. Jesus Christ is the King of kings. We were born to rule.

Revelation 1: 5-6 “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.”

“The Holy Fire and blue flame” could pertain to Revelation 5:5 says Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne,, which are the seven Sprits of God. The Seven spirits of God are the seven spirits resting on Christ in prophesied in Isaiah 11:1-3 which also rest on us as we abide in Christ. Also the hottest purest fire will burn blue. Blue is symbolic of heavenly fire.

PRAYER: Father I ask in the name of Jesus Christ your Son for Holy Spirit to give the understanding and the revelation of all that you are saying to your people and ignite them with the power of this vision as you have shown me. Release the power of this vision deep within every one who reads it with an open heart toward You Father. Give us the grace to walk in the humble authority you died to give. Do Holy Spirit what only You can do. Janee Hawks

GRACE IS SUPERNATURAL

2 Replies

“Grace comes from God. A measure of God’s grace is upon the whole world, because it belongs to Him and He holds it all by the word of His power. However a disciple of Christ has access to His “amazing grace” without measure.

NO LIMITS

Great grace was on the early church. The supernatural life in Christ cannot be lived without His amazing grace. This grace knows no limits in a humble heart where anything is made possible. His grace is stronger than the deepest darkest sin of mankind’s fallen nature. It is stronger than the very best that mankind could ever produce. It is God who is sufficient inside a believing heart. His grace will always give strength, endurance, and ability beyond the human capability and undeserved favor for whatever is needed.

NO MEASURE

His grace has no measure in the empowerment to accomplish His will on the earth. It goes on and on and on. It never ends. You can’t reach too high, go too low, stretch too far or extend too wide that His grace is not present to help and to empower those who love Him. The riches in His grace surpass all else. God’s grace in a life can become much more than one could ever be in the natural. Count it all joy believers, for whatever you face in this life His grace will always be sufficient for you.

FAITH TO FAITH

We are to grow in grace as we grow in the knowledge of Christ Jesus. The scriptures say to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and He will give you more grace. Keep your heart yielded, be completely obedient and utterly dependent on God. These are great pathways to experience the ability to go beyond what you can do. We get stronger in spirit as we go from faith to faith and grace to grace. We always need more grace to live a supernatural lifestyle, which is living heavens culture on this earth. That is our challenge as a believer, Christ in us the hope of glory.

GRACE IN HIS VOICE

Faith in the amazing grace of God starts with hearing His voice and obeying that voice. When you know you have heard His voice something powerful happens inside you. Faith replaces fear, Courage arises and doubt is gone. Hope and expectancy comes to life as never before. The voice of God is powerful and when you obey that voice great grace will be upon you to accomplish His will. You will see miracles happen and surprise you. I have experienced this many times in my journey with the Lord, and that would be a book. When tragedy or difficult times come, when trials linger on, or the unexpected shakes our very foundation, His grace will keep and sustain. When circumstances are beyond human ability God will give His amazing grace

SCRIPTURES

And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus Ephesians 2:6-7 (AMPC)

Study Grace: John 1:17; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Ephesians 2:6-7; 2 Corinthians 9:8; James 4:6; Romans 4:16; 6:14; Ephesians 4:7; 4:29; Hebrews 4:16; 12:28; 13:9; Psalm 29:4; I peter 1:13-14
