What Happened To The Power?
11 Sep 2008
Thousands of you reading this article have been asking yourself, "Where Is The Power? What's going on in my life? Where is my flow? This could be your answer....
On August 15, 2008 @ 3:00 am I had a dream that my lights and water had been cut off. At first the water was working but then it started dripping and finally stopped flowing. Next the lights went out. At the end of the dream a voice spoke and said "the power was cut off because we didn't pay the price".
I woke up and ran into my living room to pray. I cried out to God and said, "Please don't cut the power! I can't survive without the power and I can't survive without living water!"
This dream is not just for me. It is a warning to many in the Body of Christ who are not willing to pay the price that God has asked. Many of you know that God has called you to do something. You know that God is requiring a whole new level of prayer, fasting, and giving. You know that now is the "set time". But yet you choose to not agree with his plans.
Every choice has a consequence. The bible says as long as the earth remains so will seed time and harvest. So if we continue to sow seeds of disagreement (choice) the harvest will be a loss of power (consequence). Disagreement with God always results in the loss of power and glory. When you lose power you lose wisdom, knowledge, understanding, revelation, spiritual insight, etc. In the dream we lost water and light. Both are depictive of the Word of God and are synonymous with enlightment, revelation, life giving rhema, spiritual flow, etc. If we don't have water we can't live and if we don't have light we can't see. I now understand what king David meant when he said, "Please don't take your Spirit from me!" If I don't have the power of the Holy Ghost flowing and operating in my life as a believer, I have nothing!
The Water Is Dripping
In the dream I saw that the water was still dripping. This is dealing with timing. It means that we still have time to make this thing right. It means we still have time to come into agreement with God's purposes and plans for our lives.
So, how do we come into agreement with God's plans for our lives? Well, we start by truly repenting and confessing that we have been out of order and out of alignment with his divine orchestrated plan for our lives. That's what I did first. I cried like I have never cried before. Why? Because I'm a person that has experienced many divine visitations. I've recieved hundreds of instructions and directions for myself as well as others. These words have changed my life and the lives of others. I've laid hands and blinded eyes have opened, cancers healed, financial and emotional breakthroughs have manifested over and over and over again. God has gifted me to see beyond this realm and stand as a watchman warning the Body of Christ and giving strategic instructions for turnarounds.
I"m not mentioning these things to boast. I'm showing you that all these manifestations are a result of the power of the Holy Ghost operating in my life. Without the Holy Ghost we have nothing!!!
Secondly I began to call my life into divine order and alignment. This means every area that has been out of order will now fall into proper arrangement with the things of God. This is my way of saying to the Lord, "Not my will but your will be done". Let us not forget that disagreement breeds loss of power. So, to keep the flow of power and fellowship I must walk in agreement with God's plan not my own.
Many of us if we're honest have been praying amiss. When one prays a miss they are going to miss the bullseye? Why? Because the prayer is out of agreement with God's perfect will for our life. Apostle Kimberly Daniels calls them diseased prayers. Diseased prayers are prayers that are rooted in self-will. They are prayers that only address what you want, when you want it, and how you want it done. These are lustful prayers. Lustful prayers have no bottom to them. They are aimless, endless and selfish. These prayers have nothing to do with what God desires for you.
This dream has been a real eye opener for me. And over the past few weeks I've had to make some tough decisions about my life and the ministry that God has called me to. And I'm going to be honest with you it hasn't been easy because of what God is requiring me to do. But I would rather walk in power and fellowship with the Holy Ghost and pay the price than to not pay the price and lose my fellowship with him.
Remember the water is dripping. God is giving us time to get with his program and align with His will, not ours. But let us also remember his promise in Hebrews 4:16 of mercy. Mercy (not getting what we deserve) can be found at the throne of God's grace (getting what we don't deserve).
Make a decision today to PAY THE PRICE no matter the amount. Pray at the level he's requiring, give at the level he's requiring, love at the level he's requiring, go where he's saying go, do what he's says to do.Just pay the price my sisters and my brothers!!!
