Focus - Apostolic Resounding - Word and Vision

APOSTOLIC RESOUNDING ~ Prophetic Word & Vision

With all of the prophetic words that are being released to end 2017 and begin 2018, no matter what, keep FOCUS. Many of the words are coming are right out of the mouth of God, however, your focus will determine the manifestation thereof. The enemy will attempt to whisper to us like he did Eve, will attempt to tempt us he did Jesus and even bite us like Paul was bitten but do not lose FOCUS!
Focus in the season is not about how you stay entrenched in one thing or another but how you apply the word of the Lord and leading of Holy Spirit. We have taught and prophesied “laser” focus and it has derailed people. Focus is about being about to stay on track regardless of natural or spiritual happenings. We cannot be distracted by the things of nothingness when we are processing to GREATNESS!
Holy Spirit is requiring our FOCUS because FOCUS produces double peace (shalom shalom) (Isaiah 26:3). When we keep our mind in and on God we will see greater than we have ever seen before. God is asking for us to keep the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16 and Philippians 2:5) which is more than a spiritual mind. We need to purpose in our hearts to keep our eye, intent and obedience focused on Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit does more than speak about the church and “church stuff”. It is time to hear His direction in all thing pertaining to our lives.
FOCUS also knows how to ask for help. Focus is never seeking to do anything alone but is willing to learn and apply winning strategies from others.
As an abundance of proper words are coming to your life and atmosphere, STAY FOCUSED. Focused that no bird will come and eat the seed of the word. Focused that the ground of your soul is toned to receive the word of the Lord. Focus will defeat the attacks of the enemy including the enemy within called self-destruction. Do not lose focus, heart or confidence through the process of manifestation. FOCUS!
Write goals, FOCUS. Research your industry, FOCUS. Get Books, take classes, FOCUS. Invest in your gift, talent, function, FOCUS. Take your eye off everyone else and get to work, FOCUS!
The VISION (December 30, 2017): Early this morning in the midst of an apostolic huddle, I had a very clear vision:
I saw People like cars on a freeway. As The traffic begins to slow down, the people (cars) begin to become impatient. I see what seems to be an exit. But this exit has no freeway signs to indicate it is an exit. This “exit” literally appeared out of nowhere. The people start taking this “false exit”.
At this point I see the cars on the freeway and those taking the exit because of their impatience. I then see that this false exit is a distraction. Once the people get off on this false exit, there are no road, no way back to the freeway and there is nothing that pertains to life. The people who took the exact are now trapped and unable to get back where they need to be. This exit has become a place of destruction and death.
Because of impatience people they lost FOCUS! In losing focus, the end was not good. DO NOT LOSE FOCUS!

Confidence? Pride?

Destroy the thought that your CONFIDENCE is pride! Confidence is the ability to recognize and utilize the gifts and talents properly. Pride is an aggressive and abrasive way of speaking of yourself. With pride, you may be good at what you do but you are forcing on people. With confidence, you just do what you do and allow others to see. #IAmConfident#PrideIsFreeToGoToHell

DO NOT SELF DESTRUCT!

DO NOT SELF DESTRUCT! Many of us have been on a path of self destruction. We have allowed addictions, fetishes and perversions to real our lives and be our "identities". It is time to face all of those "demons" and be free. India.Arie had a song out sometime ago, "I Am Not My Hair", while let's update that to, "I Am Not My Past". Our pasts are not our identities. Nothing in our past identifies our new selves. It is time to destroy the "self destruct" sequence and activate the LIVE sequence. #NoSelfDestruct #Momentum #Kairos

Deeper

Do you hear the call from Heaven into a deeper place? Deeper consecration? Deeper prayer? Deeper study? Do not ignore the call because “I don’t know how”, this is the time to lie down and kick to the side PRIDE. Many of us are missing the deep things of God because of fleshly pride that keeps us from asking questions. Anything that we learn to do was initially something we did not know or understand until we began to do it and ask questions. The deeper place that you hear the call to will not just manifest, you must engage it and walk in it.

Holy Spirit is purposely calling us beyond the realm of our logical and sensual wisdom. This spiritual place is unknown to our flesh and is calling us into a deeper level of trust and faith. Holy Spirit is requiring us to leave that which is comfortable for us, comfortable can become complacent. This deeper place is not a place you can reach in your flesh but ONLY in the SPIRIT. We have heard for years, some of us for decades, that God requires more of enough but we didn’t understand what that meant.

Holy Spirit is leading us into wider, deeper and higher understanding of Him and His Realm, which we call heaven. He is Knowledge and Wisdom personified and we must allow Him to lead us without carnal logic inserting itself. We have to rely on His communicating with our spirit and not trying to make our mind the focus of our obedience. We must allow Him to lead us where our faith is without LIMITS! Too often we limit our faith in Him by allowing logic to reason His instruction and leading.

This season we have to embrace the calling into the deeper.  This new place in the realm of the Spirit is your normal but does not yet seem normal to you. It is still unknown to you until you begin to encounter the depth, width and height of where you are. You cannot determine what is supposed to happen in this realm because you have never been here before. Holy Spirit wants to make you acquainted with Him and this realm even the more. He is calling you into a fresh place and only He knows what you are to expect, receive and encounter in this realm.

Do not wait on man to valid this new place in Him. Though corporately, we are going deeper, our individual deepening many will mislabel because it is not theirs. Man cannot, of his own accord, valid where you are in the realm of the Spirit. This realm has to be discerned by Spirit and not by material possession. As you walk in this deeper place, man will not understand you and some will speak against where you are, fret not continue walking and let Holy Spirit do the rest.

This deeper place will cause a hunger and thirst you may not used to. It will not cause a hunger and thirst in your flesh but in your spirit. You will want more word, to pray more, to worship more, you will be doing these things and not realize it because you are deeper than before. You are in a place of new wine but there is no residue of the old wine. You are coming into a place of no return, the door has been closed behind you and you can only walk forward with Him.


As Holy Spirit is calling you deeper, you have to allow Him deeper in you. Do not expect to be in a deeper place in Him and you have Him in a shallow place in your heart. There has to be an even exchange here. The more He gives the more you give. Do not miss this place by putting walls up to Holy Spirit. Your internal walls must come down, bring down Jericho in your soul and let Holy Spirit in. Once Holy Spirit is allowed in, you will begin to encounter freshness and newness in Him. The deeper place in Him is a maturing place, a growing place and He is the Lead, the Light and the Guide through it.

Competition: I Am A Competitor For Better

"Life is not a competition with other people but with yourself." This is not the first time I have thought this but for some reason today it stands out more. I am not living to be better than anyone other than the person I was yesterday. I cannot beat anyone being them but I can beat myself being me.

We live in a competitive nation. Always trying to out do some other nation or corporation. That becomes tiring and burdensome. We have to stop trying to keep up with the Jones' and be ourselves fully. Don't do it because it is trendy and fashionable, do it because YOU like it and believe in it. Don't try to blend and fit in, if you stick out like a sore thumb, EMBRACE IT and blaze new trails.


We are all UNIQUE and PECULIAR, we should never attempt to become ordinary and like everyone else. I want to be better than me not better than you. There is only ONE you, be the BEST you and live fully!

Becoming a BETTER me is enough COMPETITION for a lifetime......I am Javon Rahman Bertrand, competitor of BETTER!

Truth You Need to Know

People attempt to justify sin by saying "this new generation". Holy Spirit is not changing standards because of the generation or the century of time. Holy Spirit requires the STANDARD of GOD for all because He is the one who makes the standard viable and livable in us. As long as we are attempting in our own strength; we will fail, we will sin and we will abuse grace but when we rely on Him and His strength, WE WIN IN HIM and THROUGH HIM! Giving out tools to "cover" ourselves is not evangelism, it is the promotion of sin. Holy Spirit will not give us false attempts to cover ourselves from sin and shame when He wants to cover us with love and forgiveness. The power of Holy Spirit can and will keep you if you let Him, it is His pleasure to keep you from sin. 
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 24-25)
After eating the fruit, and bringing sin into the earth, Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves because they now knew they were naked. Naked was not a problem before because it was how their relationship was with ALMIGHTY GOD. Once they tried to cover themselves, they hear the voice of the Lord walking because though they had "covered themselves"; they were still found by ALMIGHTY GOD! Our failed attempts to protect ourselves from His voice, His presence and His judgement because of our disobedience NEVER works. They were covered and they still received disciplinary action for disobeying. Nothing can protect you from the wrath and anger of God except OBEDIENCE and REPENTANCE! We, since Adam and Eve, have attempted to cover our sins to justify them but when we ACCEPTED CHRIST we were to return to our NAKED state before the Lord (Hebrews 4:12). We are NEW creatures in HIM, though HIM and for HIM, no longer covered by our own doing but exposed to Him and covered by His love. 
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? (Genesis 3:7-11)

Late Night Hearing

Holy Spirit Spoke:

In this SEASON, Holy Spirit is bring us into His reality and truth about what we think we know. He will be confronting our erred beliefs, false teachings, misinterpretations and that which flows from our mouths. As He is correcting, He is recalibrating us for TRUE FAITH, with DEFENSE STRATEGIES and OFFENSE WEAPONRY to fulfill our assignment as Contenders of the Faith. As we are being recalibrated for kingdom purposes, we also see the SPIRIT REALM differently, no longer from a fleshly perspective but from CITIZENS of the SPIRIT! We are not flesh beings with a spirit but we are SPIRIT beings that are housed in a flesh to fulfill an assignment in the earth realm.

Tuesday Evening Meditation ~ November 10, 2015

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11) 

The psalmist is expressing a personal relationship with the WORD of God. The psalmist is writing a personal conviction about the WORD. This particular verse is one where the depth has yet to be revealed. 

1. Thy Word ~ The psalmist is making the WORD of God priority in his life. He discerned the word of God and was not willing to allow anything to take precedence.

2. Have I Hid ~ The psalmist is taking personal responsibility for the WORD he hear and perceived to come form the mouth of God. "Have I Hid" is a statement of receiving, accepting and expecting. 

3. In Mine Heart ~ The heart is a very important place. Many of us do not realize that spiritually and scripturally the heart and mind are one in the same. Because the psalmist is hiding the word in his heart, he is preparing to meditate on the word. So a man thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). 

4. That I Might Not Sin Against Thee ~ When the psalmist makes this declaration and decree, they are stating that because the word is within them, it will keep them from sinning against God. The word being a part of us, individually and corporately, will cause us to be free from sin. Yes, free from sin. Any word coming from the mouth of God is TRUTH and because you know the TRUTH by His WORD you will be set, made and continually free, John 8:32. 

Psalm 119:11 will have the same meaning. Let's take this verse and actually apply it to our life. Hide His word in your heart and allow the word to keep you from sin.

Monday Meditation ~ November 9, 2015

Yesterday while in service Holy Spirit ask those in attendance, "Where is your relationship?". He began to deal with the TRUTH that revelation is connected to relationship and relationship will give us keys to our assignment. He instructed us to take time and evaluate our relationship with Him. We were exhorted to consider how we think of Him because that will determine how we treat Him. If we think of Him as an it, we treat Him as if He has no value. If we think of Him as OUR FATHER, we cherish our relationship with Him. How do you see Holy Spirit? What is your relationship like?

This is NOT a time to have a faulty relationship with Holy Spirit. Honestly, where is your relationship with Holy Spirit? Who is He to you? IS HE NUMBER 1 IN YOUR LIFE?

Breakthrough Word ~ Prophets Russ and Kitty Walden

The Father says today I am the God that never sleeps or slumbers. I am the God that never forgets - yet I said in My word "put Me in remembrance"! Put Me in remembrance beloved of the former things - even My promises of Old. Put Me in remembrance of My promise and My goodness. Put Me in remembrance because in so doing you initiate a process of outcome that you are intrinsically a part of. The breakthrough I promised this year is still a potential poised to come crashing through into your life with My blessing and My fulfilled promises. I never lie beloved and I never give false hope. Plan "A" is still on the table and your season is now to receive and walk in what others have only hinted at.
 
Eye has not seen nor ear heard of My goodness in your life so do not limit Me by what others have said or claim to have seen for you. I have ordained that you have direct association and intimacy with My voice. My voice will break the cedars and melt the hills and I will come down and be known in your midst by My name JAH for I am your deliverer. I am the lifter of your head. I am in your midst this day oh My beloved both to will and to do My good pleasure for I declare to you that your blessing time has come!

Prayer for Today

Father, Our Consuming Fire, during this season of revelation and wisdom, reveal the strategy of this time and season. Speak to individuals, ministries, cities and nations, speak Your strategy. As Your people are in consecration, fasting and praying Speak Your heart to US! We repent from the works of our flesh, walking in unrighteousness and without faith, we want YOU and YOU alone. We decrease that You may increase. Blow the trumpet, Sound the alarm, release the Heavenly sound of Transformation and Movement. Transform the whole of us that we would be walking into the gates of heavenly access. We desire BETTER! Greater is He that is within us, teach us to access the resources of GREATER from within. Shine Your LIGHT through Us. Consecrate us, anoint us, wash us, cleanse us, purge us, sanctify us, oh God. We yield to Your will and Your spirit, lead us into Your glory! Oh Consuming Fire, set us ablaze with greater passion! In Jesus' name, amen. 

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. (Malachi 3:3 KJV)

The Truth You Need To Know III ~ Brokenness

There is doctrine/teaching being presented in many fellowships around the church world. This doctrine/teaching is causing many people to be beneath the PROMISES of OUR FATHER because this doctrine is not according to His word. The doctrine is about brokenness. 

Over the years, I have heard the following:

"You have to be broken for God to use you."

"The Supernatural only comes through broken vessels."

And many other false statements repeated by people who are in leadership. It is used as a weapon to not to allow people to flow in their natural and spiritual gifts. These statements, this teaching is destroying people's thoughts and confidence in what God has spoken to them. 

I was once a believer in this doctrine until Holy Spirit rebuked me. He said, "It was never my intent to break what has already been broken." I pondered this statement for several days then He spoke again, "My promise is to HEAL you not break you, sin already broke you not I am here to RESTORE you." As I took into meditation and prayer what I heard, I began to weep. I was begging God to break me and that prayer would never be answer because it was against His will. I was praying amiss and hindering my own self because of a teaching that didn't line up with His word or His promise for His sons.

If you search the 179 verses that contain the word "broken", none of them come from OUR FATHER towards us. He is not willing to break you. Man was created in perfection, lived in a utopia and had the most intimate relationship with OUR FATHER until he sinned. When man sins it is because he is broken and needs to be restore to his original intent and realigned with his divine purpose. Sin breaks you not God. 

Here are the 6 definitions of broken according to webster.com
1:  violently separated into parts: shattered
2: Damaged or altered by breaking: as 


a:  having undergone or been subjected to fracture <a broken leg>

b of land surfaces:  being irregular, interrupted, or full of obstacles 

c:  violated by transgression <a broken promise>


e  :  disrupted by change 

f  of a tulip flower  :  having an irregular, streaked, or blotched pattern especially from virus infection 

3
a  :  made weak or infirm 


b  :  subdued completely :  crushed, sorrowful <a broken heart> <a broken spirit>

c  :  bankrupt

d  :  reduced in rank 

4
a  :  cut off :  disconnected


b  :  imperfectly spoken or written <broken English>

5
:  not complete or full <a broken bale of hay>
6
:  disunited by divorce, separation, or desertion of one parent <children from broken homes> <a broken family>

As you read these definitions, all of this happens at the hand of sin and not the hand of God. Do these things really sound like they will make you more usable by God? Will that make you a better vessel for the supernatural? 

Brokenness is not a state of the Kingdom. We as kingdom citizens are to be made whole (healed, liberated) that we might share the WITNESS of His power through salvation. Christ did not die for you to be broken, sin already did that, but that you would be made WHOLE. Brokenness is a state where many people are confused, abused and misled, we are to be WHOLE. Nothing missing and nothing broken, walking in the SHALOM of our KING!

Ephesians 4:27 ~ neither give place to the devil. 

Place in this scripture comes from the Greek word, "topos" which is transliterated to mean:
1  place, any portion or space marked off, as it were from surrounding space
1                    an inhabited place, as a city, village, district
2                    a place (passage) in a book
2  metaph.
1                    the condition or station held by one in any company or assembly
2                    
opportunity, power, occasion for acting




As long as we remain broken we give place to the devil. We give him place, space, opportunity and many times power to operate in our mind, our lives. We have to seek WHOLENESS and allow HOLY SPIRIT to seal us up that the enemy has no entry point. Wholeness will keep us of contamination. Pure, living water is to flow from our bellies as we believe the scripture about Christ. He is whole and we are to wear Him as a garment, we cannot be whole and broken at the same time. He has not promised to make us whole and then break us again. We are broken from the systems and cultures of this world that is full of sin, however, in the Kingdom wholeness is our portion, our birthright and our promise. 


I remember years ago, I was praying and asking to be broken. I spent hours asking HOLY SPIRIT to break me and when I stopped to hear, He said to me, "Why would I break you? I don't need you broken this is why I promised to heal you and make you whole. I am not calling for brokenness but wholeness." This correction and rebuke changed my life. I felt I was inadequate because I wasn't broken enough and HOLY SPIRIT was not requiring it at all. He later said to me, "I cannot send broken men into a broken place to bring healing. I need you to be WHOLE so that you can lead others to Me and I can set them free." This revelation also changed me from the inside out, it change my prayer and my understanding. 


As I have been writing this blog, I actually stopped because I felt people would want to hold to their own thinking. While in service yesterday, we were admonished to complete what we had been instructed to do. I am completing this blog for the purpose of releasing truth. Truth is needed in this hour to SET captives free, even those who do no know they are in bondage. Let us redirect our focus on the promise of WHOLENESS and not the false thought of needing to be broken for His service. 


Holy Spirit has been saying to me this morning that we have to get like Jesus in John 14:30: 


Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 
We cannot have any lies, false teachings, deceptions, or false prophecies for all of those things give the devil place in us. We have to ask for a BATH in the WORD of God, a fresh filling of HOLY SPIRIT, who is the SPIRIT of TRUTH and believe CHRIST like never before. Let us be made WHOLE!

The Truth You Need To Know (Beginning Of Series)





At the leading of OUR FATHER, I will be beginning a series of blogs that will expose truth to contend with errors roaming the earth. I want each of you to read the blog and then GO STUDY for yourself, search the scripture and pray, let Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth; lead you into ALL (HIS) truth! 

Truth About Christian
I have been going to church since I was vey little. Every church and every preacher has taught us how to be good "Christians". We have been taught to obey, love and have strong faith so we can prove we are walking that Christian life. However, we have taken a "badge of honor" that is not organic to faith. 

We have all kind of just gone with the flow of what has been taught. From generation to generation, we just repeat what we have heard and not actually checked if what we have been taught is HIS TRUTH. We are in a time and season, where we have to KNOW HIS TRUTH and dispel error. We cannot overcome doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1) if we are unwilling to seek out HIS TRUTH. Many of us have been deceived by what we have called "the truth" because everything we call truth is not HIS TRUTH. 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Jesus is TRUTH all by Himself and we MUST know Him. As we know HIM as TRUTH, we become set (John 8:32). 

In my years of studying I have stumbled upon some things that have blown my mind. We must now take the time to be reeducated so that our mind will be renewed. We have to find HIS TRUTH and allow it to set our minds FREE totally. 

Here are the 3 Scriptures that mention the word, Christian:
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

When you studied the word Christian, you will fine something very interesting. Christian was never what believers called themselves. The word Christian was actually a mockery term that came from Gentiles (non-Believers in The Way). Why is this important? You can never change the intent of a thing. Christian began as a derogatory term and it is still one. Gentiles, non-believers, first began calling the Disciples of Christ, Christians at Antioch according to Acts 11:26. To many this would mean nothing but if neither God nor Christ called us Christian we shouldn't call ourselves Christians either. Too often we are willing to take non-Organic terms, actions, thoughts and try and make it acceptable to the Church and we do not have authority to do that. 

Christ never asked us to be like Him. Within Scripture, the word disciple is mentioned 243 times. Almost all of them are directly from Jesus Himself. We are to be known as Christ's disciples.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  John 13:35

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8

A disciple is a disciplined and taught student of a teaching or a teacher. We are to bear fruit, the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), which is love and then we would be known as DISCIPLES not Christians. As long as we claim to be the opposite of what Christ Himself calls us, we deny our true identities in Him. 

We have to stop trying to purify, cleanse and utilize derogatory terms and make them badges of honor. It was not until the 2nd Century that Christian even became a badge of honor. The original apostles and church did not accept this term and neither should we. We are the CHURCH, called out ones purposed to legislate, DISCIPLES, the taught and disciplined followers of Christ. We are the LIGHT of the world and the SALT of the Earth, we are not what the world or Gentiles call us. 

Let us ACCEPT, RECOGNIZE and KNOW the TRUTH and be SET FREE and WALK in our IDENTITY in CHRIST!
