I am excited to connect with all of my online family in CHRIST. Some were unable to connect in April but for those that were able to attend. Can attest that GOD moved in a mighty way during that week of prayer. I am looking forward to our conference call on SUNDAY, May 2, 2010! Please be prompt and be on the call no later than 5:15am.

Prayer is not monologue but dialogue, God's voice in response to mine in its most essential part. Listening to God's voice is the secret of the assurance that He will listen to mine. -Andrew Murra

How I Was Bathed By HIS Presence!

imacartoongreat I wanted to take this time to share with you my own experience with JESUS, my grandfather was a Christian, my father is a Christian, but I did not have that as a background for my own life. I had a few experience in church, in my infancy/ toddler stage, being my grandfather was founder and senior pastor of a congregation, but the tradition seemed a bit indifferent to me and I really could not relate to that form of gathering. So after my parents divorce I pretty much start living an unstable life. I was tossed house to house, school to schools, and exposed to so many uncertainties. You know???

And as far as GOD, I didn’t really know what that term meant, but somewhere inside after hearing about him, made me interested in him. Problem was I did not know exactly where to find the answer, my soul craved. Even at the young age of 10, GOD was with me stirring me along, giving me the desire to go to some churches on my own. I remember when I was about 13 years old, when I reunited with my mom after she return to the city, we relocated and there was this one specific church I had seen and I begin to say to myself I’m going to start going there. I did visit once but it still did not have what my soul needed. SO I never returned. Long story short, I went through many unfavorable events that no child should have to be exposed to, yet looking back, I can still see that GOD hand was with me through it all.

The year of 1999 I went through a devastating event with someone close to me that sent me into a deep depression, I became suicidal, and disconnected, & I thank GOD, now, that I he had given me the wisdom to make sure my children was no where expose to this while I was going through this trial in my life. Man! I thought that this was the end of the world and I figured I could not get any lower than I was at that time. I remember that my dad would invite me to church on several occasions and I would just say, ”ok, okay well for now just take the twins”, thinking deep inside I was not worthy of going through those church doors. Furthermore I knew I did not look the part, and I did not want to experience anymore rejections than I had already been through in my life.

Eventually the LORD put that desire in me again to know him, as I had so long ago craved for. So he begins to continually confirm this through prophetic encounters which led me to eventually start asking questions about church, and even got some recommendations where to visit and I ended up at this one particular church and they were some hand-clapping, tongue talking, foot stomping, devil bashing folks up in there, OMGOSH!!! It was an environment of freedom. The liberty that 10 year old girl In me had been searching for, soooo long ago. I can’t even tell what that man of GOD said, all I know when I walked in those doors I knew deep in my heart, whatever the GOD of this church had to offer I wanted it. As I thought, I was at the end of my wit and things couldn’t get any worst for me.

When the altar call came forth I took the hands of my twins who were about 7 at the time and walk to that alter and did externally what I had already decide in my heart weeks ago, internally. And that was the greatest choice, out of my 22 years at that time that I ever made. And from that day forward the fire of GOD has been growing in me in an increasing way. And that is how I came to know the LORD!!! And I long the same thing for you that you begin to experience being bathed by presence GOD!!!

Keeping it Gospel!

CAN I FALL FROM GRACE?

God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that 3712775996_92b7e19101 in him we might become the righteousness of God. Corinthians 5:21

First I would like to talk about man's greatest problem, man's greatest problem was sin.

God is holy and sin would not be able to withstand a Holy God, it is out of protocol in the spiritual dimension. So, can you fall from grace, the answer is: "Yes!" you can lose your grace. It is written nothing shall pluck you out of God's hands but, you can surely walk out of them.

Read the Protocol Son he had access to everything the Father had yet, he "CHOOSE" to walk contrary. It was only when he learned obedience from the things that he suffered was he able to experience his need for his Father and reconcile to him, where grace was made available to him. The bible says grace only comes by faith. No Faith, No Grace!!!

4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by "grace" ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8For by "grace" are ye saved "through faith"; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2

But what is grace?

Grace is this:
1Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance...

Only when you believe this and allow it to govern your life, not just hearing but, out of faith receiving it by using it in your own life. When you fall down can you obtain "GRACE" and keep it? Paul explains it best:

[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 9For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God, (through what Christ did for my sins) I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the "grace of God that was with me". 11Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.-paraphrased

Paul was persecuting the church unto death yet how was he able to be still be effective for Christ, it is in this: I know the inheritance that is in Christ therefore I am cashing in on everything that the blood has done for me; every chance I get. Now that same power that saved me is living in me and working in my stead.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE "GRACE" THAT WAS WITH HIM AND THIS IS WHAT HE AND WE PREACH: CHRIST (for it is the very resurrection power of God)

So if you do not believe this preaching there is no more grace given. This is it, that is why it is grace only through faith. If you have no belief in your heart, nor outer reflection by mouth and actions, once again, no faith, NO GRACE. Faith is an action word, you have to use faith, and for those who do not agree. I will use my witness Jonah who wrote these words:

7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. 8 "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. 9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD." Jonah 2:7-9 (NIV)

The Father has made grace, through the preaching of Christ available to all, because it is written: it's not the will of the Father that anyone not one perish, but because of their ignorance of Christ, a unbelievers grace is forfeit. However, Jonah knew how to tap into grace and only by this grace through faith are you saved!

Listen to this powerful song on HIS grace:

Love you to life;
Prophetess L.M. Elias

The Prostituting Church Age

And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?Luke 6:39 (King James Version)

There is a prostitution ring going on in the 'church age'... the pulpit is pimping the pews and prostituting the word; speaking with enticing words. And the pews is pimping the pulpit and prostituting their own souls, having itchy ears.

According to wikipedia, A pimp is an agent for prostitutes who lives off their earnings. The pimp-prostitute relationship can be abusive, with the pimp using 'PSYCHOLOGICAL INTIMIDATION, MANIPULATION and PHYSICAL FORCE -- example pulpit prostitution: "If you don't tithe you robbing GOD and you going to split hell wide open", example of pew prostitution: "If you don't preach more about this I am going to vote you out/ stop tithing/ leave the church!"-- to control the prostitutes he sends out to work.

Also, pimps are known to tattoo their prostitute as a mark of "ownership", sound familiar? It sounds like this, the 'people of GOD' become the 'members of man'. Not knowing the blind is leading the blind, and they are both headed for the ditch; misleading one another.

Bottom Line: IT'S TIME TO *WHOLEHEARTEDLY* SET OUR AFFECTIONS BACK TO GOD...

Supportive Scriptures: My message and my preaching is NOT WITH WISE and PERSUASIVE WORDS, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power... [1 Corinthians 2:4]

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they HEAP TO THEMSELVES teachers, HAVING ITCHING EARS;... 2 Timothy 4:3 [King James Version]

Their eyes are blinded, their hearts are hardened, So that they wouldn't see with their eyes and perceive with their hearts, And turn to me, GOD, so I could heal them. John 12:40 [MSG]

Wholeheartedly: without reserve; without reservation;... princeton.edu

Love you to life;
Prophetess L.M. Elias

Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Luke24_4-5

Luke 24:5-6 (New International Version)

5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:…

Dear Friends,

Just a quick declaration to say, “Our Savior has indeed risen!” I hope that you  joined fellows believers alike today as we celebrate Jesus the Christ defeat over death and sin and fulfilling His ultimate plan of redeeming man on the Cross.

Also, I would like to take this time to invite you to join myself along with others for our online "Week of Prayer & Fasting" starting today thru Saturday (daily) Info: http://bit.ly/QOCeS

This week, as we pray together for our neighborhoods, our communities, our cities, our states, our country and its leaders, as well for our military -- let's remember the ONE who conqueror death and the grave, and now sits eternally at the right hand of GOD representing your case. So on that day glorious day when GOD’s wrath shall be released on HIS enemies, JESUS will step in the middle and say, ‘this one is mine, so don’t do it to them because you already did it to me!”

He is the only WAY and ONE who is able to pacify GOD’s wrath, and at the same time absorb HIS punishment in our stead. Just make sure you are HIS. Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday because blessed is HE!!!

It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (Romans 8:34)

Love you to life! --Prophetess Elias
