Living With EASE Episode #12: Not Coincidence. Are We Ready?

In Episode #12 of Living With EASE, begins with two recent examples of Holy Spirit promptings, specific to the juncture in which we NOW live. A detailed comparison of the church to a symphony orchestra is presented as a challenge in being prepared for Holy Spirit outpourings right where we have been called.

Will we choose to be in tune with our Heavenly Father and with one another, i.e. all on the same piece of music (His Kingdom) regardless of the individual notes/sections/sounds, with expectation and anticipation of the Conductor (Holy Spirit) directing the entire piece (guiding each individual/section) to a glorious magnificent resounding performance where everything shifts because we are being attentive to His conducting as we play our parts wholeheartedly and skillfully to His glory? OR...will we continue to focus on tuning and playing our own cacophony (doctrine, theology, politics, culture, immature, stuck in milk instead of the meat of the Word, etc.) and miss out on the greatest awakening the Earth has ever seen? We get to choose.

Living With EASE Podcast Episode #11: Waves Challenge

Living With EASE Episode #11 is specific to a March EASE challenge. A good friend and Kingdom creative, Allison Lewis of tealpatrickart, extended a 30 day Facebook challenge for the month of March to all Kingdom creatives. The 30 day challenge is specific to CREATING WAVES AS prayer. Whether it’s poetry, drawing, sketching, doodling, painting, singing, crocheting, psalming (spontaneous instrumental intercession), there is no limit to our Heaven Father’s creative expression through His Kingdom creatives! Allison sensed Holy Spirit literally explode within her Spirit the idea of consistently expressing the image of a wave as prayer for 30 days consecutive days in agreement and alignment with how Holy Spirit is ALREADY moving in our nation; to Holy Spirit’s momentum of Love and answered prayers for awakening. As a declaration in agreement with the love outpouring Holy Spirit is manifesting, a wave represents motion, flow and creative Holy Spirit power. A wave represents energy and sound expressed; it represents frequency, color, and light. There are numerous other interpretations and images for waves one could explore. The 30 day March challenge is in no way meant to be restrictive, but rather, EXPONENTIAL in ACTIVATING the Ecclesia, i.e. the body of Christ, through the creativity of our Heavenly Father present in each treasured individual. Our waves can represent a responsive ‘prayer,' as well as a request for more! WHATEVER the commitment or expression of a wave looks like for each of the Lord’s creatives, we are exhorted to be inspired and stirred to greater love, expectation, and creativity; to join in the movement of what Holy Spirit is inviting all Kingdom creatives to press up and in to! Allison, the Facebook Waves Group, and I extend blessings and creative explosions of joy over every creative in this 30 day March challenge to create waves; to boldly express, decree, and SHARE what Holy Spirit reveals through each of His creative sons and daughters on Earth as it is in Heaven for such a time as this! 

This episode concludes with a holistic frequency infused instrumental wave piece in 174 Hz, specific to the Pineal Gland which is the spiritual faith center of the brain.

Living With EASE Podcast Episode #10: Releasing EASE into the DIS-EASE

Living With EASE Episode #10 enlarges the content of the previous nine episodes. This episode gives context and foundation to the episodes that aired previously, as well as to podcast episodes that will follow. This episode does not conclude with a holistic instrumental piece due to the length of this episode. Episodes to follow Episode #10 will again include an instrumental holistic frequency piece. 

We are spiritual beings in natural bodies. It’s NOW time for us to act as such - the Church Age is behind for those who are seeking first His Kingdom and His righteousness. We are spiritual beings, seated in Heavenly places because of Christ’s finished work, seeing things on Earth from His 3rd Heaven throne room perspective (Scripture refers to it as being caught up in the Spirit), rather than from our small limited earthy perspectives.

The supernatural realm, i.e. the unseen realm, is our eternal NOW reality, far more so than this natural realm. We miss out when we focus the majority of this life on the natural realm. 2 Kings 6:15-17 Elisha

We have been created to be led by the Spirit (the unseen) with Jesus seated on the throne of our innermost being, as opposed to the flesh (the seen - all that’s visibly and audibly going on all around us).

Romans 8:14 TPT, “The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.”

Living With EASE Episode #9

Living With EASE Episode #9 continues the theme of EASE affirmations. There were so many Holy Spirit led affirmations that came to me after completing Living With EASE Episode #8, I was led to create an additional podcast episode specific to these much needed affirmations (transcript included)!

I am a good idea! I am my Heavenly Father's good idea! I am infinitely loved. I am valued, wanted, and treasured. The Lord and Giver of all good gifts created me to live on earth for this time and this place in His Story to be a gift to the world around me. Because every good and perfect gift Is from my Father in Heaven, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I have been created with gifts inside me! I am a container filled with purpose. The gifts and treasures Father God put inside of me are for sharing His love with others. I carry gifts inside me the world needs! Using and sharing my unique gifts blesses my Heavenly Father and blesses others. Using and sharing my gifts is a way of showing my love in Christ to Father God and His love to others. Father God loves me and sees me as precious. There is nothing I have to do to earn His love. He accepts me fully and completely in the love and finished work of Jesus. My unique gifts, empowered by the treasure of Jesus in me, flow out to others through Holy Spirit wherever I go! The gift of Jesus living in me through Holy Spirit is the most powerful treasure in the whole world. In Christ, through the power of Holy Spirit, I am a vessel of the atmosphere of Heaven - the Energy, meaning the Word, and the Sound of Heaven Expressed on Earth. The following is an excerpt from my book, I AM A GOOD IDEA! I used The Message Translation when writing these affirmations.

 

Before You shaped me in my mother’s womb, You knew all about me. Before I was born, You had holy plans for me (Jeremiah 1:5). Oh yes, You created me first inside, then out; You formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank You because I am breathtaking! Body and soul, I am fearfully and wonderfully made! I worship You and praise You in adoration because I have been marvelously made! You know everything about me; You know every bone in my body and every hair on my head; You know exactly how I was made, bit-by-bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, You watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before You. The days of my life were all prepared before I’d even lived one day. Your thoughts are precious and beautiful to me, for the sum of them cannot be measured. I couldn’t even begin to count them - any more than I could count the sand of the sea. I rise in the morning and want to live always with You (Psalm 139:13-14)! 

You know what You’re doing. You have it all planned out – plans to take care of me, plans to not abandon me, plans to give me the future I hope for. When I call on You, when I come and pray to You, You listen. When I come looking for You, I’ll find You. Yes, when I get serious about finding You and want it more than anything else. I will find You and You’ll make sure I won’t be disappointed when I seek You with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul and with all my strength (Jeremiah 29:11; Mark 12:30). You are the Lord my God and You are with me; You are mighty to save. You take great delight in me. You quiet me with Your love, and You rejoice over me with singing (Zephaniah 3:17)! 

You love me so much that You gave Your only Son, Jesus Christ, so that believing in Him I have eternal life (John 3:16). For You chose me in Christ Jesus long before You laid down the earth’s foundations. You had me in mind, had settled on me as the focus on Your love, to be made whole and holy by Your love. Long, long ago You adopted me into Your family through Jesus Christ. You took great pleasure in planning this! You wanted me to enter into the celebration of Your over-flowing gift giving by the hand of Your beloved Son, Jesus. Because of His sacrifice, His blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, I am free – free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all my misdeeds and mistakes. Not just barely free, either, abundantly free! You thought of everything, provided for everything I could possibly need, letting me in on the plans You took such delight in making. You set it all out before me in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in Him, everything in deepest Heaven, everything on planet earth. It’s in Christ that I find out who I am and what I am living for. Long before I first heard of Christ and got my hopes up, You had Your eye on me: had designs on me for glorious living, part of the overall purpose You are working out in everything and everyone. I was included in Christ when I heard the word of truth, the gospel of my salvation. Having believed, I was marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:4-13). 

You live in me and move in me. You don’t play hide-and-seek with me. You’re not far away; You’re near. You are my God and I am Your child. I leave the corruption and compromise; I leave it for good. I won’t link up with those who will pollute me. You want me all for Yourself. You are my Father: I am Your (son) (daughter) (Acts 17:28; 2 Corinthians 6:18). Your Spirit touches my spirit and confirms who I really am. I know who You are, and You know who I am: Father and child (Romans 8:14, 16). It is clear to me that You love me very much and have put Your hand on me – chosen me – for something special (1 Thessalonians 1:4). I am chosen by You, chosen for the high calling of Kingdom work: chosen to be holy, Your instrument to do Your work and speak out for You, telling others of the night-and-day difference You made for me – from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted (1 Peter 2:9). Since I am receiving a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, I am thankful and desire to please You by worshiping You with holy fear and awe (Hebrews 12:28). 

From the lips of babies and kids of all ages You have perfected praise. Nursing infants gurgle choruses about You; toddlers shout the songs that drown out enemy talk, and silence non- believing babble (Psalm 8:2). For the time has come when the true worshipers will worship You in spirit and in truth. It’s who I am and the way I live that counts before You. My worship must engage my spirit in pursuing (following or chasing after) truth. That’s the kind of person You are looking for: simply and honestly myself before You in my worship. You are Spirit. I worship You out of my very being, my spirit, my whole self, and in adoration (John 4:23-24). 

Your Holy Spirit will lead me into all truth. Because of You, He lives in me. I will obey Your commandments because I love You. Father God loves me. Jesus, You love me, and will reveal Yourself to me because I love You. You will never abandon me as an orphan. There are no orphans in Heaven, and through You there are no orphans on Earth. You have always loved me and You always will (John 14:15-18).104 

Thank you, Father God. Thank you, Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer. Thank you, Holy Spirit, my Comforter and Teacher.

Once again, I give You praise, glory, and honor that in Christ, through the power of Holy Spirit, I am a vessel of the atmosphere of Heaven - the Energy, meaning the Word, and the Sound of Heaven Expressed on Earth.

Living With EASE Episode #8: Affirmations

Living With EASE Episode #8 is specific to affirmations. In a conversation with one of our daughters, she was expressing how important it is for people in the midst of everything of everything that's going on in the nations, to have a place where they have decrees of affirmations being spoken into them...being affirmed to them. This episode includes a spontaneous holistic frequency infused piece in conjunction with affirmation decrees that are true for all those who would believe...all those who would receive. Very powerful affirmations are very much needed in this time when identity is being questioned, challenged, and debated; a time when so much of media tries to define us - so many agendas in media, social media, in every one of the mountains of culture, whether it's government or education or even church and family, arts and entertainment, and business - where identity is being disputed; it's being warred over. When we would choose to believe and choose to receive the identity that our Heavenly Father has imparted to us through His Son, i.e. the perfected work of His Son, Jesus, that identity, that inheritance is ours if we would simply choose to rest in it, choose to believe in it, choose to receive it, choose to hope in it, choose to trust in it. 

 

Living with EASE focuses on how our Heavenly Father sees us in the finished work of His Son - in that identity - in our inheritance in that identity. Those are the affirmations I would like to release, focusing on who the Father says we are; who we truly are in the spirit realm when we are seated in heavenly places in Christ. Our Heavenly Father always accepts us, receives us, loves us unconditionally through that finished work. This episode concludes with decrees and affirmations that are truth for each listener.

Living With EASE Episode #7: The EASE of SEEing Others

Living With EASE Podcast Episode #7 is about the EASE of SEEing others: the energy and sound of SEEing others. Scrolling through Instagram and Facebook feeds, being an avid reader of the latest and greatest hot off the press book, listening to a plethora of preachers, teachers, evangelists, prophets, and apostles, as well as a being a Spirit and Truth worshiper since the late 70’s, has highlighted a significant Kingdom truth in my spirit recently. As long as we choose to perceive others through our own eyes/experiences - through a mindset perspective that we alone have the only accurate current revelation and truth - that we alone are doing this thing we have in our sights on from the absolute only correct way to accomplish it, we continue to create a house divided…a people overflowing with lower resonating frequencies. 

Call it religion, call it denomination, call it a new wineskin, call it an old wineskin, call it performance, call it anointing - no matter what it’s called, if we are not edifying, exhorting, comforting and building up the Body of Christ, i.e. the Ekklesia, we’re releasing lower resonating frequencies that are detrimental to the overall health and wellness of the Kingdom on Earth. If we are pointing to Jesus and to His Kingdom, we are releasing higher resonating frequencies. In the mix of how we go about that we need to learn discern between the two, especially in this decade of PEI - the decade of the mouth and what we are speaking/releasing through our mouths. Life or death is in the power of the tongue. There are no grey areas in that truth - it’s one or the other. It's very black and white. 

The EASE, i.e. the energy and the sound of of SEEing others - not just the others in our immediate circles or of likemindedness - but the ‘others’ out there doing things very differently than what or how we've been called - many times in ways we don’t necessarily agree with, have been offended by, wounded by, etc.. Heaven’s perspective of each of them is the only way forward. A number of verses comes to mind specific to this topic.

Heaven yearns to see the generations - plural - united in their pursuit of Jesus as Bridegroom and King. It doesn’t matter how they go about it, as long as it’s a hunger and a thirst to see Him glorified - to see His Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven - to see lives encounter Holy Spirit Presence and walking in the glory to glory transformation of knowing Him intimately every hour of every day seeing Him invade every aspect of day to day life in this realm. 

I ran across a recent Mike Parsons of Freedom Arc quote on this very topic. “Let’s learn to appreciate our own gifting. And the reciprocal argument is also valid: let’s acknowledge that people with different gifts to us will think and operate in ways we just don’t understand. We need to learn not to be frustrated, but to appreciate them too! This is part of a culture of honor. We will more readily live in harmony if we recognize that God has hard-wired each one of us to respond to Him in a unique fashion. In music, harmony is created when a number of different but related notes are played together to create a really pleasing sound. We are not all the same, but God has called us to relate together.

This episode concludes with a Holy Spirit led spontaneous holistic frequency infused instrumental piece in 396 Hz. Be blessed.
