Fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher… Hebrews 12 verse 2
It was wonderful yesterday morning to sit in a doctor's office, and to hear him say ," You are healed!" When Jesus said those words to people in the Bible they rose from the dead; they jumped and leaped and opened their blind eyes. My human Dr's words were followed by "but, if , although" - in other words some conditional considerations. Many times our human breakthroughs are lacking and our own faith must connect to Heaven's supply to bring the desired outcome to the full, biggie size that heaven has for us. Has someone given you some money, but is not quite enough to meet the need ? Has the company made an offer but it is lacking in benefits or provision ? Remember where you came from and how this all started: by believing God to do just what he promised. The finisher will bring it to maturity and perfection – the Amplified Bible explains to us -. You may have seen a little something manifest , but hold on for the full and glorious finish!
AND LET THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD OUR GOD BE UPON US... Psalm 90 verse 17
The word "beauty" in the Hebrew means agreeable , suitable, delightful and pleasant. Something on the inside showing on the outside! I think of beautiful Rebecca –comely and chaste -is how the Bible describes her -wanting to water those camels and looking gorgeous because of a lifetime of those kind of desires to help. So she became a billionaire's helpmate! seriously, I am believing for a mantel of beauty to fall upon you! For YOUR cloak of the beauty of the Lord- a cloak of agreeableness, of delightfulness. Why you're so pleasant, people are changed by being around you. The beauty of the Lord transforms; first you; then All who come under your radiance today!
Father: let the beauty of the Lord be upon me today !

... We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed but not despairing; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed; 2nd Corinthians 4 verse 8 – 9
This is an intense time for the body of Christ. Everybody is feeling it; but nobody should be ruled by that feeling .THIS IS HOW WE OVERCOME!
Get as close as you can to the Lord. Buy the newest and best worship music .Pay any price for it –it is a priceless tool for overcoming.
Get as close as you can to the strongest Christians you know. Work to develop that relationship. We need each other more than ever. Godly Fellowship brings strength.
Get close in your church – join the intercessory group – is there was never a time for Christians to intercede this is is! interceding for the mountains of FEAR to be crushed down and people to be driven from the devil's valleys of despair into the arms of God !
Get up- ARISE- speak believe proclaim decree the truth of Christ's total, present and eternal victory ! Just saying that will make you feel better!
Father: thanks be to God who always leads us in his triumph in Christ !
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. Luke 21 verse 14 – 15
Don't worry about what you going to say! What will you say to the boss at your salary review, to the person at the gym you know you should witness to, to that unbelieving relative, or even to a sick person at the hospital? God says he will give you a mouth: open your mouth wide and he will fill it! Learn to trust the Holy Spirit to to run your mouth through His flow. Gaining that kind of confidence requires that the Holy Spirit can control your mouth - meaning keeping you quiet when you need to stay silent -. Can the Spirit of the Lord trust you to say it all if that's what he requires (or to say nothing at all when required) ?
This day we perceive that the Lord is among us… Joshua 22 verse 31
The powerful force of reconciliation proves that God is among us and it also brings us pleasure. Strife is so exhausting! Even God ordained conflict is a great energy expenditure. A Bible reading today highlights the power of reconciliation to turn the tide of the battle and to release sweet agreement. We have been fighting hard and strong in the body of Christ. ( The sword is cleaving to our hands - don't mess with me- like one of David's mighty men- Dodo the Ahohite in 2 Sam, 23v.11) But today I sense the Lord renewing the value of reconciliation and also creating a hunger for it in our mouths again.
Father: By this all men will know that I am your disciple, if I have love for the other (John 13:35)
Blessings on your "LOVE-BATH" week of perceiving the Lord is among you !
Behold, I have put before you an open door… Revelation 3 verse 8
Many of you are faced with choices; difficult choices. often there is an open door before us; but recognizing it as God's anointed pathway for you is not easy. And it's getting more difficult! The distractions of the hour and the pressures on our mental capabilities are all making incredible demands. Through prayer and through godly counsel,we must seek to get up high enough to see the anointed door. "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things..." Revelation 4verse 1;"... but when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth …he will disclose to you what is to come." John 16v.13
Father: Show me the open door; Show me the anointed door today
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose hearts are the highways to Zion! Psalm 84 verse 5
So many of you have believing, God-fearing husbands: let us not take them for granted! Blessed is the man whose strength is in the Lord! (Perhaps your believing for a husband ;what he, too, is blessed because the highways to Zion are in his heart.
Father: We bless the men of God today and we thank you for their valiant, holy hearts !
Joshua left nothing undone of all the Lord commanded… Joshua 11v.15
What was the last thing the Lord commanded you to do? Or not to do anymore! We can have wonderful times with the Lord, hear his voice, promise to obey, turn off the cd, put down the journal and forgot all about what he said. His voice is valuable. His instructions are priceless but we get so busy and we are so easily distracted. If you are not making progress, you might want to go back and check to see if you have done the last thing he commanded you to do! What was that? Joshua did all- and Ephesians tells us: having done all, we can stand!"
FATHER: I WILL DO IT ALL- JUST LIKE YOU SAID!
love you guys,
Lee Andrews
blessings on your week of nothing broken, nothing missing, nothing lacking in your obedience ! Enjoy the FINISHER'S SPOILS!
... A wise man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended and the floods came and the wind blew… Yet it did not fall; Matthew 7v.24 there arose a fierce gale of wind… He rebuked the wind and sent to the scene – be still and the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. Mark 5v.37 – 39
The storms of life come to everyone. But God's people are prepared to overcome and even come out better! The best preparation is building our life on the word of God. Use the word of God to build/prepare ahead of the storm! Consistently speaking what the word says, using our authority over the weather and the elements are part of the overcoming life. When in a storm, fight with your very best tool - God's Word and Promises!
Father: This is how we overcome and reach the rainbow after the rain !
And they commanded the people, saying,… When you see the Ark of the covenant of the Lord your God… Then you shall remove from your place and go after it… That you may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofor(before) Joshua 3 verse 3 and 4
Aren't you glad the way is new? You have never been this wonderful God-made way before! God has a place for us that is beyond our understanding. Jesus has made the new and living way that gives us access to our future.Jesus also tells us that when we are bidden, we should go and sit down in the lowest room - so that it maybe said to us , "Friend, go on higher." - Let humility BE your guide to your exaltation! Even as your dream unfolds, remember you have not been this way before. Going low (on your face in prayer, preferring your brethren in love) takes you higher !
Father: Jesus is my way higher!
Blessings on your weekend of rising in God ! hope to see you tomorrow's meeting from 10 AM to 12 at Freedom Center Church.
For God is not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind... 2nd Timothy 1 v. 17
A calamitous spirit has been released in the Earth. I'm sure that comes as no surprise to you as God's watchmen in this hour. Calamitous means that it's all falling apart :and this world is falling apart as all creation groans for the manifestation of the sons of God .But God has not given us a spirit of fear – even in the midst of calamity. The dictionary defines "calamity" as misfortune, disaster, affliction, accidents, trouble...,etc. Our first defense is to obey God's commandment to not be afraid. How can you not be afraid when calamity comes? Because you have already prepared in faith! Through regular confessions of the Scripture and consistent word-based prayers of protection, you will have the poise and the power to resist fear. and to stand when everything around you seems to fall apart ! Just the confidence to know that God is moving, when the walls are moving in on you, will bring the assurance of victory that is the evidence of faith.
Father: when calamity tries to knock on my door , YOU ANSWER FOR ME
Listen, for I shall speak noble things… Proverbs 8v.6 Excellent things of counsel and knowledge Proverbs 22v.20 ... When your lips speak what is right ... Proverbs 23v.16 bKings' daughters are among thy noble ladies… Psalm 45 verse 9
"Noble" is the word I hear for today. Noble means high and excellence or worth, aristocratic, high in rank. Our reading in Proverbs today associates our speech with the virtue of nobility. Are we talking like kings? Ruling and reigning in life as Kings is how the Bible describes us! Psalm 45 even says that the people around us –the noble ladies in our entourage – are of royal descent. So the fruit of my mouth should correspond with who I really am. Are my words bestowing honor and raising everything around me to an excellent level ? As a teenager in London I had a huge crush on a titled member of the nobility who did some noble things I guess; but also some not so noble things. I know because I was his accomplice in some crummy things! Don't abuse your noble birthright: FULFILL it to the glory of God!
Love you guys so much, Lee Andrews
Join me Saturday at our next meeting - April 12, 2014 from 10 AM to 12 noon - at our new location! GET SMART!
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Luke 11 verse 9
Keep asking in faith! That means with expectation of the desired answer! Keep seeking in faith: expecting to find it! Don't get tired of knocking! Heaven is hearing every thud of your knocks and responding with a hearty "Atta Girl!" The door shall be opened. If this is God's year of the open door, why are we surprised the devil wants them all closed?
Father: Anoint me to ask! Anoint me to seek! Anoint me to knock! And thank you for the fresh anointing
as I go through the open door!
Blessings on your weekend of strong faith to pursue, overtake and recover all!
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues vain things lacks sense. Proverbs 12 verse 11
"Vain" means worthless or without purpose. The King James version of the Bible says that following vain pursuits means that we are void of understanding. My lack of understanding of God 's purposes and and God's plan puts me in danger! Helping coach my daughter's softball team might be a vain pursuit for me , but not for you. Teaching the 5-year-old Sunday school class of worth and purpose for me ,but not for Brigitta or Mary . There is the good and there is the acceptable, but Hallelujah, there is the perfect will of God. And in His perfect will there is perfect protection, perfect purpose and perfect peace.
In this current battle season of THE LAST DAYS, we Need to Be Led by the Spirit to lead an overcoming life. Some attacks can be avoided. When a man's ways please the Lord , He can cause even his enemies to be at peace with him .
Father: I please you today with purposeful pursuits and You me in the path of peace today !
The Lord is in his holy temple; Psalm 11v.4; And everything in his Temple says, "Glory"! Psalm 29 verse 9B
Are you in a new house Temple or the new job Temple? Everything in those temples says "New house: focus on me! think about me"! All our energy, money & thoughts are captured in that Temple's worship. But everything in the Lord's Temple says, "Glory" – glory to God! Through every season's temple that we enter, the call for us is to make it a place of worship of the living God. Find Him in the bank, in the wedding coordinator's office, or in the lawyer's. Our call is to make this season's temple a House of Prayer- driving out the money changers-and taking the idol of the new job, the new house or the grandkids off His Throne.
Father: Everything in the Temple where I am today says Glory!
love you guys ,
Lee Andrews
LEE'S WORD FOR TODAY 1/6/17
SEPARATE FROM PAST BAGGAGE, DIVORCE OLD SIN, MARRY NEW FUTURE IN CHRIST!
Lee's Word for Today 1/6/17
SEPARATE
from past baggage
DIVORCE
old sin
MARRY
NEW FUTURE IN CHRIST!
And Lot also, which went with Abraham, had flocks and herds and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, for their substance was great...And Abraham said,
"Lot, separate thyself, I pray thee, from me." Genesis 13v.5; ...forgetting what lies behind, straining for what lies ahead. Phil.3v.13
You can't take it with you. "It" means your (unfruitful) way of thinking, your old " it ain't working" way of working. Abraham's nephew was a dear relative, they had so much in common, so many sweet or tough memories shared. How long before we get God saying, "Separate from your old way. There is a new way."
As always with God, you must obey the first step (separate, leave the baggage, drop it,) before the land under your foot's path for the 2nd step appears.
And the Lord said unto to Abraham AFTER that Lot was separated from him:
Lift up now thine eyes from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward. For all the land that thou seetst, to thee will I give it...v.14-17
FATHER: Show me Your new way today! I PRESS TOWARD THE PRIZE!
Love you guys more than you know,
Lee Andrews
Will you keep silent at this time, Queen Esther? Now that you have prevailed before the King and your petition for deliverance for you and your nation from the evil Haman Hillary, will you decree, reign and use your authority? Not many days hence, about 30, the inauguration of the President God chose and we died for (died to pizza and blueberry pancakes, died to distractions to cry out, some died to fear of voting Republican for the 1st time!)) will be inaugurated.
Though the media is attempting to spread dishonor and rebellion,your intercession for FULL MORDECAI HONOR will crown the event and will also REAP HONOR for you. The honor you intercede for in these 30 days to January 21 is the degree of honor that will (or won't) come to you in the New Year. God is teaching us to reign in this extraordinary season, this amazing Last Days Age. Can you honor a husband if God gave you one, a boss, a mother-in-law, can you honor the Office of the President or the Plan of God? Skimping on honor at this time, will skimp on the Glory of God!
When God's choice is fully honored, - as Mordecai was - God's reward is FULLY given! God gave the people of the nation light ( a new dawn of hope) and gladness and joy and honor.The enemies of the Kingdom were destroyed. Esther 8v.16 Victory is indeed sweet!
....And the king said to Haman/Hillary, what shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?...Haman answered... Let royal apparel be brought which the king has worn(NOTE: THE ANOINTING)
And the horse which the king has ridden
(NOTE: same as David's instructions for Solomon's inaugurations for David's mule to be ridden)and a royal crown be set upon his head.
Let the apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes. Let him array the man (NOTE: divine order- Mordecai was not putting king's robe on himself- but nobility and established order robing him) whom the king delights to honor and conduct him on horseback through the open square of the city(NOTE: We need to pray for the city- the sea of people to OPEN to Trump and not resist him whom Our king has appointed.)Esther 6v.6-9
The King's instructions in Esther 6v.10 Do so to Mordecai the Jew (Make it happen).
Leave out nothing that you have spoken. (Don't mess this up.)
We need a full Mordecai inauguration. Esther (the church) has prevailed before the King.We won. We Arise, We Shine for Our light has come!
