In The Twilight
In the twilight of your dreams revelation comes. Deep thoughts that can only be promoted from the heart and creativity of God. Wondrous moments of deep revelations that stir the inner most being of your own creativity. Often during these moments I just want to be released into the revelation and the goodness that I sense.
As the Lord continues to release the depth of His riches into the heart that is receptive He continues to be pleased with the response: Yes, Lord yes! Twilight is a momentary time in our hearts between activities and worldly responses. It is that sensational space of time that equips us to be able to hear God clearly and respond honestly to His presence.
At this moment. listen, envision, embrace and go forth with the fresh revelation from God. It is God speaking to you and revealing Himself to you! How awesome is that? Hunger, seek after, ask for this moment in the twilight of your dreams. He desires to bless you from His own creativity and resources.
It is when that twilight time embraces you that your heart and mind is clear and wide open to the spiritual presence of the One True God. Wait on the Lord and be renewed through His presence and take what He gives you and be alive in the twilight of your dreams.

I Wrestle Not Against
Not against flesh and blood but against my own “self”. I have been in a horrific wrestling match lately. The enemy has unleashed, all hell, it seems, against me! My “self” just wants to go back to the earlier years, before Christ, and handle this the “street” way. I so reminded of the spiritual warfare that I face here in this wicked city called Santa Cruz. (dubbed by many as Satan Cruz) Yes, everyone thinks it is just a community, a beach town, a cool place to retire or get lost in! NOT! It is a haven for evil, a farm for demonic growth, a darkness that dwells and lurks deep in the shadows. We must be on the vortex of a new revelation or breakthrough. I can put it simply like this: I have a spiritual machete and I have been whacking away at the evil brush and thick darkness. I was led one way and then another and BAM, I hit a nest of dark, secluded, and empirical nest of demonic forces.
I will be victorious, but scars I will carry for the good of the found souls in a darkness that deep black seems to be bright white when compared to the depth of darkness I have gone into.
Pray, pray, pray! I cannot stop now! The cries are to loud and the passion is to strong!

Being On The Cutting Edge
Are you living on the edge of happiness and victory or are you just living on the edge? The Lord lived His whole life on the edge of spiritual revelation and scriptural truth. His application to life was to give life to those who would ask for it! Life is not just breathing and enjoying the other senses, such as, taste and feeling, etc.
The Lord wants us to have a life that is not only natural but also very spiritual. A life that is rich with virtue and dynamic in purpose. The church should be living with a sixth sense, “revelation sense” that is placed in our lives when we receive the Lord…He has made His abode in us and is consistently impressing our hearts with revelation. The Word is alive in us and we have the “knowledge” and the gifting that prepares us for ministry and worship. Moving in the Spirit is not just something you encounter by opening the day with a smile or even a sense of relationship you may have with you own emotions, but it is “revelation” in your spirit that contains the application of ministry and worship. Listen to the what the Word of Lord speaks:
“For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper that any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is discerner if the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creation hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes if Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:12-13)
He has equipped us with this Word and this Word was breathed forth from Him. His Word is inspired and is true inspiration and motivation to all that will hear what the Spirit is saying to the church…The Lord is revealing His direction and depth to all that will listen and obey. Are you willing to live on the edge, the spiritual edge, and the cutting edge of ministry? There and only there will you see and hear the “real” application of the Word of God in action and in purpose. He shares with you through the “sixth sense” – the revelation sense! He wants to take us all past the outer gates into the courts of His Praise that all would be able to move away from the natural into the spiritual.
Come now into the Holy of Holies and receive the “revelation” from Him and begin to live on the cutting edge. Come out to where Jesus is and walk the edge of spiritual revelation and see what the Lord will reveal to your heart as you worship Him.
