While Watching Aladdin





While watching the new Aladdin a dynamic spiritual truth uncovered and presented itself to me. Early on in the movie Jafar looks at Aladdin and says, "Steal an apple and you are a thief. Steal a kingdom and you are statesman". As I thought about this statement I asked myself, "How do you steal a kingdom?" The answer came to me quickly: Convince the heirs that the kingdom is not theirs. Jesus described satan's modus operandi as that of one whose will is to "kill, steal and to destroy" (John 10:10a). Consequently, Jesus first describes satan as a thief in this verse.

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." Our King is describing the thief's motivation and what his plans are well before he ever engages us so that we can rest assured that the outcome he wants is a negative one.

If the father of lies can convince the sons and daughters of God that the Kingdom does not belong to them and they were be rendered powerless when he comes as a thief to steal it.

Let us arm ourselves with this incredible knowledge:

The Kingdom belongs to those who receive it just like a child would.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ~ Matthew 19:14 NKJV

 Do not let the thief steal from you! Guard your heart! Know the truth and it shall make you free!

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ~ John 8:32

    I love this! This is a great word. As I spend more and more time in the spirit, I find myself thinking, seeing and hearing things that are now filtered through the Spirit. It has become a natural way to live and I want so much to share it with others!

Revival In America pt. 3

  In Song of Solomon 5:2-8 we are given a vivid portrait of much of the Church’s response to her Groom, Jesus. I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.” In verse two of this passage we see the Church being awakened by the Bride. The Bride is asleep but the Master awakens her heart with the power of His voice, a divine defibrillation if you will. He speaks to her from the inside out. Then He knocks, beckoning her to open up to Him and let Him to love her. He announces that He is covered with dew. He is, in fact, the Anointed One; the Messiah she has been waiting for all along. But then she responds saying, “I have taken off my robe; How can I put it back on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?” My beloved put His hand By the latch of the door, And my heart yearned for Him. And my hands dripped with ...

Keep Praying: Angels, Pulleys and Doors

While sitting in my living room I saw, with the eyes of my heart, a believer praying. As they prayed a thread was released from them and into Heaven. There were cog wheels in the heavens of various sizes. As the saint continued to pray the prayer thread began to weave itself in between the wheels. There was an angel present as the thread continued on through. Next I saw long levers extending from each pulley. When the prayer had worked its way completely through the array of pulleys (I could see four different wheels) the angel began to pull on each of the levers. When the angel pulled on each lever a door would open. ~ When we persevere in prayer doors open. So don't give up. Keep Praying! ~ AH
