Who or What Raised Jesus from the Dead?

Yes, that's my question...Who or what raised Jesus from the dead? I've heard it preached that it was an angel sent by God, or the power of God, or the hand of God, etc
But what really raised Jesus, what does the Bible say?
Romans 6:4...'just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father...'
So what is the glory...? It's not a commonly preached topic now but in the early 1900's until the 70's it was a favorite at the pulpit. Ruth Ward Heflin always spoke about the Glory of God in all of her camp meetings.
She said, "Praise until the spirit of worship comes. Worship until the glory comes. Then stand in the glory."

The glory seems to be a realm or an atmosphere that brings the revelation and pure Presence of God...wow! We wonder how the ministers of the early days did such wondrous miracles? They stood in the glory, without stress or wondering how it would happen, because they were in the glory. It was literally an atmosphere of Heaven brought down to earth! This is how we were meant to live our every day lives...it is what He desires for us, 'On earth as it is in heaven' remember?

So we need vibrant praise, deep worship and then the Glory comes...and you can have it even in your prayer closet and then walk around all day in the glory. Decide one day to put away your long prayer list of what you want Him to do for you, do you think He does not know already? Then praise Him with all your heart and then worship Him likewise and I promise you...you will see the Glory of God show up; sometimes even physically with manifestations...Ha!

But remember, He utterly delights in you and wants to spend time with you!

The One That Got Away...

I'm the one that got away...
I spent my first Christmas on this earth battling measles in the hospital at barely 5 months old when the standard practice at the time was 6-9 months for the first vaccine. But I made it, I was the one that got away.

Then fast-forward 18 years later and I was again battling for my life with an unknown virus that almost took my life...I still remember my usually stoic uncle visiting me in the hospital and bursting into tears because he was sure I wouldn't make it...but I was safe in the 'protective custody' of the Father, and survived. I was once more the one that got away...even as bodies were wheeled out of my ward night after night.

Then fast-forward another 9 years later and I was once more fighting for my life in childbirth...my son presented sideways and the chances of righting him were slim; but with intercession on all sides, I was once more saved in the 'protective custody' of the Lord of Hosts! I was once more the one that got away...even as babies were taken out by the enemy. And I was then given a promise in Psalm 118:17 "I shall not die but live...to recount His illustrious acts"!

I escaped like a bird, I got away by His grace from the jaws of death and I know I have a purpose, and that is to continue to recount His illustrious acts and speak of His goodness forever...I am the one that got away! I have lots more getaway stories and I'm sure you do too!

He utterly delights in you! You are in His 'protective custody'!

You Have Entered the Bridge Month!

I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, "You have entered the bridge month!"; and I thought, tell me more Lord...You see, I have always had a fascination for bridges, and my family knows this. I have a bridge painting in my dining area which shows the Toronto Lakeshore area with a bridge over the lake and it so delights me to look at it. Whenever Paul & I visit a park, we usually hunt for little wooden bridges, so I can skip over them with joy, while he looks on laughingly!

I heard the Spirit say, that this month will be a bridge to the new, we are about to step into a supernatural era in all of history. Things that previously were hard to accomplish will be as easy as ever, as God releases His anointing for acceleration upon His children!

I hear the Spirit saying, "Buckle up for the ride of your lives, as I introduce My Anointed Ones to the world to manifest My goodness with signs and wonders following! This is the time of the manifestation of the sons of God...everyone who walks with me will manifest My Presence in some way to their world. This will usher in the era of acceleration and glory in the coming Jubilee year." 

So as you cross this bridge month of August, know that you are crossing into one of the greatest displays of His Presence that the earth has ever seen! And don't forget to skip over with joy, as the Lover of your soul cheers you on...

Remember, He greatly delights in you!

You Have Been Called to the Nations...Now Go!

I have called you to the nations, step into your destiny. Do not despair - Have I not decreed it? Now is the appointed time and you have been chosen from the start. Do not be afraid, was Zion not birthed in a day? Arise therefore! Go to the face place and seek me for the empowerment! Have I not called you to set the captives free? Go and do so!

You are a forerunner, contend for the truth and set your face like flint for the fulfillment of destinies. The prophetic is set to be released in a full measure upon my Body, then they will begin to understand...but until then, stay connected and listen; let your ears hear and your eyes see, meditate on My Word and receive revelation for advancement.

Do not listen to the voice of a stranger, pray in the spirit to silence your thoughts and you will hear My Spirit speak clearly to you. You have passed through this so you can lead others up the mountain where there is clearer vision and where you will see what is to come before it happens. I say again, you are a forerunner, so sound the alarm when you see the sign, for you are also a seer..activate the gift of discerning of spirits that I have given you and arise into the heavenly realm.

Worship Me! For in worship you gain strength to go higher and leave the worldly view behind.
I will inhabit those who set themselves apart to me, and I will do wonders in this time and season.

He greatly delights in you...
