VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, EARTHQUAKES & MORE --PART 1
(GET READY FOR WHAT IS COMING AHEAD!)
~ L.D. Oxford
Matthew 24:4-8, Jesus answered, watch out that no man decieves you.
vs. 5, For many will come in my name, claiming, "I am the Christ (anointed one) and will deceive many.
vs. 6, You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
vs. 7, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
vs 8, All these are the beginning of birth pains. ~NIV
*********
Dear Readers:
The Lord has been confirming over and again recently concerning, not only major spiritual shakings, but also natural shakings and disasters that are about to come upon the earth in an unprecented manner for 2007 and beyond.
Even, as we have already seen some of these types of events, which have taken place over the past few years, there is now a new and fresh move of God's Spirit happening on one hand, with the judgements and shakings on the other side of the sword.
Both are coming and some of it is already here, as we have been seeing. It is the responsibility of the Body of Christ to prepare for what is coming so that we will be ready to help others when these things do come.
If we do not prepare now, then we will run out of excuses to offer the Lord. I have heard message after message here locally and also nationally, concerning how the Lord is holding the Body of Christ responsible, even more than governments or the unsaved.
This is why the Lord tells us that judgement begins with the house of God.So, all believers should stop blaming the government whenever a disaster hits, and the Body of Christ needs to wake up to the times in which we are now living, because the Lord will hold us accountable if we do not.
If we ask, where was President Bush when we needed him? God's answer to you is, "Where were you, when i needed you?" "Where was the church when i needed them?"
This is a warning to all who have been apathetic and insensitive to the needs of others in the past up until this present time.
It is now time to be shaken and awakened from selfishness, cold-heartedness and to have an attitude adjustment in the areas of holding offenses, unforgiveness and the wearing of emotions on your sleeves.
These areas are all rooted in selfishness. This will hold back God's breakthroughs and blessings more than anything else that i know of in the Body of Christ. These sins are just as bad as the widely publicized ministers sins over the media in God's eyes.
Wrong is wrong and Sin is sin no matter what kind of package it comes in.
REMEMBER THIS SCRIPTURE:
Matthew 24: 12 - Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. ~NIV
DURING TIMES OF MINISTERING TO OTHERS
When ministering to others here locally, several of the things that i keep hearing from people over and again is this: "Most Christians do not really care about anyone but only pretend to care."
Then, another complaint is that "most Christians are hypocrites, selfish and pretend that they are sooo... holy. Then, they ignore people that they do not want to talk to...or help.
They only love those who agree with them, such as those that are in their christian clique, and even then, they are still very selfish." This is so sad!
When i hear these things from non-christians and from hurting christians also, i can only agree with them that this is true for the most part, even from my own experience.
Although, i also know that there are many wonderful loving Christian believers out there also. But they are a remnant and are not always so easy to find.
Yet, i explain to them that God is not this way, it is not His fault, and there are still probably at least 20% of Christians out there, who really do have a heart for God and are generous when it comes to loving and helping others. But for the most part, what these people say is pretty much true.
WHO IS THE CHURCH?
(What is Church, or who is the Church?)
*The people of God who have a genuine relationship with the Lord. People who show their love towards God through their loving, serving and helping others.
The meeting places of Church are (or should be) hospitals for both unsaved sinners and messed up Christians who need help also. So, we should not be going to church to look for perfect Christians, but should go to be a blessing to someone else, while keeping the Lord as our central focus.
When we keep our focus on Him, then we will be able to truly love others and there will be a remnant of believers who are truly sold out to the Lord that you can fellowship with. The Lord will connect you with them when you stop judging others for not measuring up to your own standards.
If you are looking for a perfect church and find it, then it wont be perfect anymore after you arrive there. Right? :)
I believe that the Lord is bringing His righteous judgement and more exposure upon many of these issues, because, how else can the unsaved be won over, or anyone become a part of the move of God with stubborn, obstinate and rebellious hearts.
The move of God's Spirit will be manifested through those who are willing to lay down everything for the sake of the Kingdom of God (laid down lovers of God).
This includes sacrificing comfort, finances, repenting from rotten attitudes, walking in forgiveness, dying to self, and being willing to give up everything that has been an idol to them in their lives.
WHAT IS COMING WILL BRING GREAT CHANGE
The time seems very soon when these things will begin to take place on a greater scale, such as unprecedented volcanic eruptions around the Pacific rim (The Ring of Fire) and other places.
More destructive tsunamis, an increase in bizarre weather patterns with super hurricanes and F-5 tornados, along with stronger wide-spread earthquakes in many geographical areas.
There have been lots of confirming prophetic words that point to this, and they are all saying much of the same thing. These things will happen both in the natural and spiritually.
ON TRUE SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT
You must gain a strong knowledge of the Scriptures coupled with a deep relationship with the Lord, before you will have pure spiritual discernment.
Most people who say they have discernment, say, i feel, i think, my thoughts are this.... i suspect ect, ect.... That is not true discernment, because true discernment has little to do with your personal feelings or thoughts on the matter.
Alot of people have no real concept of what true discernment is. True discernment comes from the Lord and gives one the ability to "know" (to judge spiritually) through the anointing and through rightly dividing the word of truth, and it is not guesswork, nor does it involve suspicious thinking.
So, maybe...could be...might be... my thoughts are this...this is my opinion....has nothing to do with true discernment.What i personally have experienced with people who claim to have discernment is nothing more than "a gift of suspicious thinking", which is not from God.
Many times, it is soulish and borders on yielding to familiar spirits and a spirit of witchcraft. True discernment is to "know by the Spirit of God" without all of the speculation in the flesh.
Below, i am including a few different prophetic words for 2007 and articles, which came forth recently during the latter part of this year. I will also include a few more in one of the next "Joshua A/P messages" that will be sent out soon after.
Read these prayerfully and allow the Lord to reveal to you further insight. If any of you have any other words to share from "reliable prophetic sources," please feel free to send them in here for me to read and we may post some of them. Thanks!
Much Love in Christ, L.D. Oxford

SEVEN PROPHETIC DIRECTIVES FOR 2007
~ By Patricia King
Prophetic insight is given by the Lord so that we will understand His heart, desires, perspectives and promises for the future. When embraced in prayer and faith, we will see the fulfillment of those promises in our lives.
Like Mary, we will say, "Be it done unto me according to Your word." (Luke 1:38)…and like her, we will experience the same results – fulfillment of prophecy.
1. A YEAR OF SUCCESS AND FRUITFULNESS
In 2007, the Lord is looking for those who will invest their "talents" wisely. It is a year to DREAM BIG. It is a year of bringing forth fruit for the Lord and His Kingdom through the wise investment of the gifts He has given.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), the master praised the servants who took the initiative to invest what they had been given but was angry with the one who buried his one talent. Jesus said that this parable describes the Kingdom (verse 14).
The Lord is calling His people to make investments of their gifts on behalf of the Kingdom. There will be success and fruitfulness for those who do. 2007 is a year to invest much as there will be great dividends for the glory of God.
"You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on all your ways." Job 22:28 NLT
Psalm 20:4; Deut 28:8,12; Genesis 1:28; John 15:7
2. CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE
2007 is going to meet us with great change. The face of the church is going to change drastically. Political changes and shifts await us. Individuals will be called to make changes in their lives to facilitate the call of God. Some will even be called to make geographical changes.
Many believers will have unexpected changes in vocation. Some students at university level will suddenly feel to change their majors even after they have invested many months and years in a particular direction.
It is vital in 2007 that believers seek the Lord for confirmation during the stirrings that call for change. The Lord will confirm clearly. Great flexibility and grace will be required to move into the change that God is ordaining.
New levels of dependency on God will need to be embraced during these times of transition.
PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHANGE
Many will experience a phenomenon of finding "change" (coins) in unique places -- sometimes on the walkway in front of them or in drawers or on the floor beneath them. This will be quickened to the heart as a "prophetic sign" confirming the season of change.
Another sign will be the appearance of butterflies. The butterfly comes forth as a result of metamorphosis (change).
The increased and unusual appearances of butterflies will be a confirmation of the season of change.
Another sign will be changes in weather patterns and unexpected winds in regions that are marked for change.
3. A YEAR OF COVENANT BLESSING
Abraham was blessed by God and called to be a blessing so that all the nations would be blessed. This is our calling in the Kingdom – to live in the blessings of God in Christ, so that the testimony of Christ's glory and love spreads.
Christians will be called by the Spirit in 2007 to establish boundaries around their lives where ONLY BLESSINGS will prevail. When attacks, assaults, and trials come, they will be turned into blessings as believers stand their ground on covenant promises.
Blessings will become the protective border and the covering of believer's lives that embrace this. Eph 1:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Gen 1:28; Gen 12:2,3; Ps 103:1-5; Deut 28:1-13; Numbers 6:23-26 4.
"EARTH SHAKING CATASTROPHES"
There will be some catastrophes in 2007 that will cause people to respond in fear. Believers are not to fear but to rather embrace the situations, allowing them to usher in revival and harvest.
The church will be launched into mercy and compassion ministry when these catastrophes occur. Calls to prayer during these events will also be used to unite the Body. Hebrews 12:26-29; Matthew 24:6.7 5.
WALKING ON WATER
The Lord is calling His church to move in the supernatural. Many will be called out of the "boat of comfort" into "arenas of risk" in 2007.
It is important to keep the focus on Jesus and His Word alone during these times. The Holy Spirit will teach the church the importance of living in the supernatural empowerment Christ has invested in us through His indwelling presence.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6) Matthew 14:28-31 6.
BIBLE FAITH WILL BE CHALLENGED
The church must remain strong in intercession in 2007 as foundations of faith and Bible absolutes will be challenged by political and humanistic spirits in Christian nations.
God will raise up spokespeople who will be a voice for uncompromised truth in the nations. These ones will suffer persecution both in the world and in the church for their righteous stands. A separation will come in the church between those who are fully committed to Bible truth and those who compromise.Psalms 1 and 2 7.
GOD'S MEDIA ARMY IS EMERGING
Many Christians will experience the call into media in 2007. The Lord is raising up an army in the area of television, radio, entertainment, internet and print media.
These warriors will be powerfully used of God to spread the gospel and to creatively build faith in the masses. "The Lord gives the word, and a great army brings the good news" Psalm 68:11

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, EARTHQUAKES & MORE --PART 2
(Sharing more insight!)
*A Word From Kim Clement
"ERUPTIONS SHALL BE AN OVERFLOW OF THE GLORY OF GOD"
~ Kim Clement
WORD PROPHESIED -- DEC. 8, 2006 -- PORTLAND, OREGON"
For even as this Nation has been erupted," so God said, "there will be signs in the mountains. For even as the prophet flew over the mountains and saw the various mountains in this region (while flying over mountains towards Portland), it came to him that there would be great eruptions of volcanoes."
But God said, "This is a spiritual matter, for this eruption shall be an overflow of the glory of God. There will be an overflow of the glory of God."
AN UNFOLDING OF MANY THINGS THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
WORD PROPHESIED -- NOV. 19, 2006 -- HUMBLE, TEXAS
God says, "There will be an unfolding of many things through the Christmas season that will cause volcanic eruptions." The Spirit says, "There will be eruptions of a great kind, where the Kingdom has been stifled by men's blindness, because sight has come, and men have seen the glory of the King."
God says, "A spirit of acceleration shall bring about rapidly, like a volcano--wondrous things from My Spirit. By Kim Clement

TIMOTHY SNODGRASS12/14/06 REPORT
We have been experiencing unusual seismic activity in the Philippines after a strong solar flare exploded on the sun 2 days ago. Last night a 6.5 quake shook the Celebes Sea, 165 miles south of Mindanao.
Radiation from the solar flare is expected to hit the earth today, so we are on heightened alert for strong earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

"THE YEAR 5767 -- "A YEAR OF GREAT SHAKING AND QUAKING!"
~ Chuck Pierce
Glory of Zion
WORD OF THE LORD -- OCT. 17, 2006
WE HEARD THE LORD SAY THE FOLLOWING:
"A SHAKING WILL START FROM THE WEST AND SHAKE TOWARDS THE EAST."
"Things are moving closer to the shore of this nation to shake it. Get ready, for the shaking will begin to come close. It will start on the West and shake toward the East.
I will cause systems and structures in the East to shake." "Announce to the West Coast that a shaking is coming. The wave of My Spirit is coming closer to this nation, and the wicked will be shaken out as My GLORY rolls across the nation and rearranges it."
"Have you ever given orders to the morning or shown the dawn its place that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it?" (Job 38:12-13)
"I AM CALLING MY PEOPLE TO RISE UP AND MEET THE MORNING, AND DECREE THAT EVIL STRUCTURES WILL BE SHAKEN!"
"The shaking from the West and from the East will begin to meet. As Delaware shakes, Philadelphia will begin to shake in a new way. That place where liberty has been crusted over and where God's plan for this nation is being held captive will begin to shake."
"The wave is coming closer to our shores to shake this nation. Let the wave hit the West. Let the shaking of the East begin. Let the sound of shaking begin. The sound that has been stopped that would bring the shaking is being released from Heaven. Let things that are not connected in the earth, get connected and prepare for the shaking." ~ Chuck D. Pierce

"SHEPHERD'S ROD 2007 PART 6"
~ Bob Jones & Paul Keith Davis
PUBLISHED ON Nov. 26, 2006:
The earth will continue to experience great turmoil as this spiritual conflict rages. There will be many earthquakes, volcanoes, viruses and diseases, disruptions in the seas, and other forms of natural calamities. God's people must learn to take authority over these issues and exercise dominion.
Because mankind is out of harmony with God, so also is nature. The indications in nature are a reflection of the condition of mankind in general. Only those possessing God's Spirit can begin to offer resistance or speak coverings of protection and grace. This is the condition that was predicted for the end-of-the-age. Bob Jones Paul Keith Davis

PROPHESIED Nov. 30, 2006 -- ALBANY, OREGON"
...and the time is soon at hand from this region that every thing that can be shaken will be shaken. And that which remains because Heaven (yet again), and earth will be shaken, and as it is shaken the Lord says, 'I'll remove the tops of three mountains to explode My Glory in the face of this earth.
And as I do, that molten lava that you will know about will destroy what plans and what agendas and what things that this earth would hold so strongly to..." God says, "I'm about to destroy, so they have no comfort to hold onto other than that what they see you bearing, with light in a very dark area that says, 'Please give me what you've got.'"

"Don't go back to regular life! You keep striking the ground. You keep on believing for those promises. And there is a healing well in this place; and it has been dug; and the cap will come off again; and the geyser will gush forth. And just like that volcano that will erupt, this healing movement well will erupt if this older generation keeps on contending and believing for it, and will not give up." Stacey Campbell

"VOLCANOES, EARTHQUAKES, INDONESIA AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST"
~ Lisa Cooke Doyle
PUBLISHED JUNE 1, 2006:
IN MY MIND I HEARD THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT, "THE MOUNTAIN HAS JUST BLOWN!"
`Last Friday on May 26, 2006, I was abruptly awakened to an upright position at 3:00am. In my mind I heard the following statement: "The `Mountain has just blown!" Then in the spirit, I felt tremors from below the earth's surface that gained in momentum, until it was as if--my entire home was being violently shaken by a giant earthquake of magnitude proportions.
Although this was a spiritual experience, I half expected (as I turned on my television set) to find a news report of what I just experienced. Although there wasn't any indication of reports on recent seismic (earthquakes), or volcanic activity of this proportion, I knew the Lord was personally calling me to prayer.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, in close proximity to Mount Saint Helens, which is once again building; so I started in prayer for the region in which I live. And as I prayed and interceded, the Lord led me throughout the entire Pacific Ring of Fire, particularly, into Indonesia.
The more I interceded and prayed, the more I had a sense of foreboding for future earthquakes and volcanic activity in the very new future.During the course of last Friday, I continued in this place of intense intercession, and the Lord allowed me to look down upon the Pacific Ring of Fire from a Heavenly perspective.
Along the fault lines, I saw little red sensors that would light up in various intensity, revealing points of seismic activity and the gravity of the impact. In my spirit, I heard the Lord say, that over the course of the next few weeks (a very strategic time of prayer) and months, there would be increased earthquakes and volcanic activity.
That evening, when I heard of the earthquake on Indonesia's Java Island, I knew in my spirit that it was a critical time to pray to lessen, delay, or stop any future cataclysmic earthquakes and volcanic disasters.
On a side note, I have learned as a prophetic person, often the Lord will give me a dream, experience, vision, etc., that is layered--where one thing will happen in the natural (such as the earthquake in Indonesia), which confirms the entirety of the word given by the Lord.
This leads me to call for prayer for other parts of the world, where volcanic explosion and further catastrophic earthquakes have not yet occurred. Because of the way the revelation occurred, and was partially confirmed not even twenty-four hours later, I believe there is a window of opportunity to pray--to lessen volcanic and seismic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Particularly in reference to the "Mountain Blowing," as this was the most significant part of the experience.
In fact, even as I write this, I see symbolically through the prayers of the intercessors, the tectonic plates being shifted back into perfect alignment, and a lessening of the pressure that is mounting below the earth's surface. Remember--Prayer changes things, and we are all intercessors in the Lord's eyes.
Each of our prayers helps collectively fulfill, and partner with, the Lord's perfect will.
PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYER FOR THE FOLLOWING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:PRAY FOR THE ISLAND OF JAVA AND INDONESIA:
Pray the Lord would supernaturally intervene and cause a shift in the natural, to stop any impending future seismic and volcanic activity.
Pray relief aid would get there in a timely manner, and that the areas of devastation would be quickly rebuilt with better living conditions.Pray for miraculous healing and medical aid to meet all the needs of the victims and their families.Pray the Lord's glory would shine through this tragic event-- His Kingdom would advance and souls would be saved.
Pray to Lessen, Hinder, Delay and/or Stop Impending Future Seismic and Volcanic Activity:Pray the Lord would supernaturally intervene, and cause a shift in the natural to stop, hinder, or delay any impending future seismic and volcanic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Pray the Lord would seal away His Saints through the Blood of the Lamb, and protect them from harm and judgment.Again, pray that the Lord's Glory would shine on the earth in the midst of chaos, confusion and tragedy, causing souls to be won for the Kingdom of God.
FOR PRAYER FOCUS: I do want to note that many prophetic people, myself included, are getting warnings at this time of natural disasters, terrorism, deadly plagues and viruses, etc.
We are most certainly at a heightened time of war, rumors of war, death, famine, destruction, etc., and it is important to be in prayer and supplication at this time. We also must be prepared in the natural (getting your own homes in order), and be sensitive to the needs of others.
That being said, it is a time to be aware that the Harvest field is ripe and ready for Harvest. We as His Bride, His Church, have the privilege to be a light that shines brightly in the darkest of times and places. So I encourage you to maintain a place of peace, and continue to pray and intercede.
Let's be givers of hope, ministers of love, and let's extend help in tangible ways, as we are ever-advancing the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven."
Philippians 4:4-8, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things."
Much Love and Blessings, Lisa AJ Cooke Doyle

When spoken evil of for your faith,
Remember what they did to me.
When they slap you or spit upon your face,
Remember what they did to me.
And when you suffer I will give you grace,
Then, remember what I did for you.
Bless them, forgive them, pray for them, and release them!
Remember: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Matt. 5:11-12 - Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
vs. 12, Rejoice and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matt. 5:43-44 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
vs 44, But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you....(read on)

I AM BUILDING MY LIVING BODY OF FAITHFUL BELIEVERS”
By the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow
Ephesians 2:21 - We who are believers are carefully joined together with Christ as parts of a beautiful constantly growing temple for God.
WHO JOINS YOU TOGETHER EVER SO CAREFULLY? IT IS ME!
The one who poured out all of My life’s ambitions and My own will for you! I gather you together with others who will greatly influence your Destiny in Me!
As I chisel and shape you as a living stone, you will learn through those I place around you just how to blend into the “temple of unity” that I am building with My Living Body of faithful believers.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING
as I continue My work in you, around you, and through you! Ever so carefully Will I shape you and mold you into a vessel of My use. A temple to fill with My Presence and glory!
“Oh that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know Him and surely He will respond to us!” Hosea 6:3
I DO UNDERSTAND YOU LONGING TO KNOW ME MORE!
It was built into you when you came to know Me as Lord and Master! It is a Divine DNA that drives you to press on until you encounter Me face to face! Moses was also driven by this internal force. David, Deborah, Elijah! All of them had a homing device inside of their spirit beings that cried out for more of the relationship from heaven!
NEVER STOP SEARCHING OUT MY WAYS!
You will see Me move all of creation in order for you to know just how I long to bless you, to encourage you and to perfect you! Press On! Press In!
I WILL RESPOND!
HIDE YOURSELVES IN ME!
“But let all who take refuge in You be glad! Let them forever sing for joy! Spread your protection over them, So that those who love Your name may rejoice in You! “ ~Psalms 5:11
I HEAR YOUR HEARTACHE AND TRAVAIL! I KNOW YOUR LONGINGS!
Quickly! Come and hide in My tower of refuge!
I AM THE TOWER OF SAFETY!
Your tormenters are far below you when you are up high in My tower of praise! Rise up higher and higher as you rejoice in My love! Enter into My arms of protection! You fear the things that must indeed fall down at My command! Stop fretting and come into My arms of refuge and rest!
“YOU WILL INHERIT A DOUBLE PORTION!”
Isaiah 61:7 My Word says that My people will receive a double portion of blessing instead of shame! Instead of “dis-grace”, they will “re-joice” in their Inheritance! They will inherit a “double portion” in their land! Joy that lasts forever will be theirs!
I HAVE PLANNED TO GIVE YOU, MY CHILD, THE BEST OF ALL THINGS
and then, to double it! Even a joy that will last forever! I will also double that!
EVEN THOUGH THE PRUNING HAS BEEN SORROWFUL
and yes, even painful, it has cut away the things that brought shame and a cowardly heart from your life! I take away dis-grace forever and cause you to re-joice forever! The place you are living in, the land you are claiming for My kingdom? I Double the impact and Double the moving of My mighty Hand of Healing and Kingdom assets!
RECEIVE THE DOUBLE PORTION OF BLESSING!

2007 -- THE YEAR OF THE OPEN DOOR
~ Kenneth Copeland
www.kcm.org/
Prophecy given by Kenneth Copeland November 11, 2006 Washington, D.C. Victory Campaign YEAR OF THE OPEN DOORThe year of 2007.
What will it be like? Will it be a year of disasters and catastrophes beyond imagination as some have predicted? Or will it be a continuance of the glory of heaven being manifest?
The year of 2007 will have some very serious catastrophes. There will be some things happen that the world will not know how to handle. But you may rest in Me, saith the Lord, because the manifestation of My glory will be so great in the year of 2007 and such overflowing revival throughout this nation and around the world that you're hardly going to even notice the natural catastrophes that happen in 2007 and the things that the devil is trying to do will get caught up in the swell and the explosive power of My Spirit being manifested, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
2007 will be known as the "Year of the open door". My Word states in Revelation chapter three that I open doors no man can shut. I shut doors no man can open. There are those of you over the years that have set out with commitment and resolve to do things that I have assigned you to do, and over a period of time it looked like the devil just slammed the door in your face and some because of catastrophic things happening in your family, others because of sickness and disease that has attacked and others because of financial disasters and just plain old not enough money to get it done that the devil was able, as I said, to just slam the door in your face. But you hear Me now, saith the Lord, I am opening your door!
I am opening your door! I am opening your door and in 2007 the devil or nobody else will be able to close it on you! Don't quit! Don't give up! The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Don't give up on this nation. Don't give up on your church. Don't give up! Don't quit! Don't stop!
2007 is the year of doors open and held open. Go through them with great faith and stay on the Word. Stay on the Word! Stay on the Word! You stay with Me. I'll stay with you and together we will see victory beyond anything you or anybody else has ever seen before! Hallelujah.
Oh, hallelujah. Glory, glory, glory. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yes, bless the Lord. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Oh, glory to God.
And by that same token, saith the Lord, there are certain doors that the devil has been holding open; doors of war, doors of destruction, doors of all kinds of disobedience and blaspheming lies and tongues. Well, I'll tell you in 2007 you and I together are going to slam the door on him.
We are going to slam it in his face. We are going to walk on him and you are going to find out what I meant in My Word when I said set your feet on him and walk on him. He has been put under your feet. He is becoming the footstool that I said he would be.
And now is our time, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. Yes. Bless the Lord.

"REACHING OUT TO OTHERS"
~ L.D. Oxford
I am frequently asked by a number of people who either call in or write into the network, the following questions. These are only a few of those questions that are asked during the first part of some of those conversations.
WHAT IS MY CALL AND WHAT IS MY MINISTRY?
What is MY call? ... and what is MY ministry? I need to know what MY ministry is. I'm not sure what MY call and ministry is. Can you tell me? I need God to speak to me and tell me what MY ministry is because i cannot hear God tell me what MY call and ministry is.
I need a prophetic Word from the Lord concerning MY ministry, because i don't know what He wants me to do. As you can see above, there is the word "MY" typed in capital letters 7 times. "MY" ministry. :)
FIRST MINISTRY: A PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
Well, your first ministry is to walk closely enough with the Lord and to study to show yourself approved unto God through His written Word ( 2 Timothy 2: 15), so that you will be able to correctly discern His voice when He does speak to you during your talks with Him.
Your first ministry is to the Lord Himself, and to come to the place in Him where you learn to spend quality time with Him, and to love, commune and worship Him from the heart.
It is not a religious ritual but is a living relationship of growing in intimacy with Him. He is our God, our Father, our Love and greatest Friend. And it is all done through faith in the finished work of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through Him, we have full access to the Father and can boldly and freely enter into His presence as often as we will. Walking in His presence should become a life-style by being filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and by staying filled in our on-going walks with Him. It's not a one-time experience, but an on-going relationship with many experiences of being re-filled and refreshed, along with other divine encounters in His presence.
This is your first and most important ministry. Your ministry is to the Lord first. Without Him being central, there would be no other ministry to be concerned about. All other ministry will flow out of your love relationship with Him.
SECOND MINISTRY: FAMILY -- YOUR MISSION FIELD
Your second ministry is to those who are closest to you, such as your husbands, wives and other family members; such as the children and then on to your other relatives. If you are not married, then it can be to your mother and father and then, other relatives.
Your second ministry also involves all of the other menial tasks and disciplines involved that are neccessary for all family life. It includes everyday normal living. The Lord adds His "Super" to our "Natural." Our everyday life with family and God is super-natural living and we should all learn to walk in the Spirit with our families included.
THIRD MINISTRY: COMMUNITY - NEXT LARGE MISSION FIELD
The third ministry is to the community around you where you live, such as in your occupations, your neighbors, friends, local fellowship and to the needy and lost that are all around you in your own community.
This also includes everyday normal living and reaching out to others on that day to day journey of responsibilities. Note: There is enough ministry here to consume all of your time and to keep you busy until the next millenium, if you could live that long. :)
FOURTH MINISTRY: TO THE WORLD AT LARGE: OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMMUNITY - ANOTHER MISSION FIELD
When you have gained training, discipline and experience in all of the other ministries mentioned above, then you may be ready to go to other places to build ministries, reach the lost in other regions, or to go on the foreign mission field, according to how the Lord has called you in your life.
By the time you successfully minister in the first three areas of ministry, then you will most definitely know what the Lord would have you to further do and will be ready for the next phase of ministry.
The first three are your foundational training and preparation to do greater things. The knowledge and understanding of your call will be very clear as you do what you already know you should do. It all starts with obedience in doing what you know is right in light of the Word of God. A good rule of thumb for your call and ministry is to do "what you are gifted to do instead of trying to do what you are not really gifted to do."
Where you are gifted is where you will find favor in ministry. And where the Lord wants you to be, will also come the needed favor to accomplish His Work. You will not need a Ministry Title to prove anything, (Servant, a better title) but your true gifts and talents will make room for you in the Body of Christ where you will have the favor of God when the timing is right.
Or, it may be in a normal everyday occupational setting, in a local ministry or both, where the Lord would desire to use you. The Lord will show you through the favor that comes in the areas where you are most gifted.
REACH OUT TO OTHERS
In the mean time, Reach out to others, going beyond yourself to experience the release of God's greater blessings for your life. Get off of your chair, shutdown your computer ...then go and become a blessing to someone else today. Needs are all around you.
Being preoccupied with your own problems and needs is where the real hinderance lies and God does not usually answer selfish prayers. Remove the roadblocks and hinderances in your life by making the decision to become a blessing to others. The Lord will meet every need and bless you with the miracles you ask of Him when you position yourself to "become that miracle and blessing" to someone else.
The needs are all around you every day. When you cross paths with the needy, your co-workers, the hurting, the widows and the fatherless on your daily journey, do you ask God to bless them and pass them by, when He expects you to be that blessing and to help them? Or do you go out of your way to help others when there is no one else around to help them?
Selfishness and Me-ology appear to be the prominent trademark of many who call themselves believers, which is in direct conflict with the teachings of Christ.
BREAK OUT, BREAK LOOSE, BREAK FREE!
Break out, break loose, break free and become a blessing wherever you go. And go prepared to reach forth out of your own need to help that one who has been left for dead (physically, emotionally or spiritually) on the side of the road. This is true ministry.
Be that good Samaritan by pouring in the oil and the wine and by binding up those wounds, proving yourself as a true and worthy servant of the Kingdom of God. Then, you will be truly blessed and as a result, the release of miracles and provision will be yours in many areas of your life.
You will reap whatever you sow, therefore, do not turn a deaf ear to others and become a blessing to someone who needs you today. Then the Lord will hear your cries when you are in need, and you will see the turn-around, change and the answers to those prayers that you have been asking Him for.
It comes by moving beyond the flesh and selfishness to truly follow the Lord, by choosing to love others in our everyday walks with Him. Not in words only, but in deeds and actions. This is what it means to Love God. Loving and helping others is the primary way to measure ones love towards God.
ONE OF MANY PROMISES -- IN REGARDS TO HELPING THE NEEDY
Psalms 41:1-3 - Blessed is he that considereth the poor; < (meaning: weak or needy) the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
vs.2, The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
vs 3, The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.< (meaning: of strengthening and restoration from the sick bed). - KJV
THIS PROMISE RESULTS IN:
1. Deliverance in time of trouble.
2. The Lord will preserve and keep you alive.
3. You shall be blessed upon the earth.
4. You will not be delivered over to the will of your enemies.
5. The Lord will strengthen you on your sick bed and restore you on your bed of illness.
CHRIST'S LOVE COMMANDMENT
(which sums up all other commandments)
Luke: 10: 27 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbor AS YOURSELF. -NIV
WHO IS THE REAL NEIGHBOR?
REMEMBERING THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN:
Luke 10: 30 - 37 - A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
vs 31, A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
vs 32, So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
vs. 33, But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
vs. 34, He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.
vs. 35, The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and when i return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.
vs 36, "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers.?"
vs. 37, The expert in the Law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "GO AND DO LIKEWISE." - NIV
