P.O.P For The New Year

I am so excited for 2015. The year of Freedom, Deliverance, Victory and Manifestations!
Plus so much more.  I encourage you to go to www.myvcc.com and listen to the New Years Eve prophetic message  as well as check out Kenneth Copeland's prophetic word for 2015.  Both will fire you up for what God has in store for the year ahead :)

However, God has also spoken to us about the importance of being prepared, obedient and positioned (P.O.P) for the year to come. Get ready because this year is going to pop like popcorn. We need to be P.O.P ready.  The way we P.O.P  is to put Jesus first!

Matthew 6:33 Amplified Version says...
 But seek (^[a]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (^[b]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things ^[c]taken together will be given you besides.

So as we can see putting God first is  the only way to P.O.P.   2015 promises so many good things., Putting God and His Ways first will bring, "all these things taken together will be given you besides."  

The "First Fruits Principal"

 Leviticus 23:10 Amplified Version. Tell the Israelites, When you have come into the land I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.

Now we may not have literally entered into new physical land but, we have come into a new year.
A year which does contains a huge harvest.  We should honor the First Fruits Principal for 2015.

What is God asking us to put FIRST this year?  The First Fruits of our life.  Our time, talent, tithe, relationship, devotions, prayer etc... We all know what Jesus is personally asking of us.

 First Fruits in Hebrew is 'bikkurim' and it literally means "promise to come".  Here is a Hallelujah moment for all of us -  God NEVER  breaks His promise! Praise the Lord, there is a promise to come for us in 2015! That is why we need to P.O.P . God wants us to succeed. Our best days are yet to come :)

Ephesians 3:20 Amplified Version  Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—

The glorious part of the First Fruits Principal is this, what we sow we will indeed reap! When we sow  first fruits we are planting seed into the harvest.  God is giving us the opportunity to sow into our future, our destiny, our families, ministries, nation and create a greater harvest! Glory!

Galatians 6:9 King James Version And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

 First Fruits is not for God. First Fruits is for us :) We need to ask ourselves, What do I want to accomplish in Christ this year? What promises am I believing for? What harvest do I want to pull in?  Jesus has it. In-fact his desire for us this year are much bigger than what we are thinking.

Jesus has given us a  P.O.P  that is a sure win.  Let's start out our year by honoring the First Fruits  Principal and then we can leave the rest to HIM!

Glory Be To God :)
Shalom,
Pastor Pamela

I Hear A Sound...

In 1 Kings 18:41 The prophet Elijah says, "Get Ready, I hear the sound of the abundance of rain"

In those days, having water meant, having everything! Cities were built around a water source. Kingdoms could rise and fall simply because of water.  Seasons of rain were  necessary for survival.

Did you notice that, the abundance of rain had a sound? What was  the prophet was hearing? Have you every "heard" a storm coming? The lightning flashes and you count the seconds until you hear the thunder. Which gives you an idea of how far away the storm is. In our home we do this with our children, while getting popcorn to watch the theater in the sky. 

 

Interestingly, if you look up "abundance"  in the Strongs Concordance the definition  in                      1 Kings 18:41 is.. 

A great roar/sound. A great number. Abundance and wealth.

 

I believe the prophet was hearing the sound of thunder in the distance.  To them, that sound would have meant "Abundance".  Water for the people. Drink for the animals. Fertile ground, crops and harvest. The rain would bring wealth and blessing upon the entire nation of Israel.

I hear the sound of the abundance of rain! Just like the nation of Israel, this season of rain will bring forth a harvest for HIS Glory! The season of Abundance/Blessing is here.  We know that there has been a shift. We know that we are in a new season, the next chapter. It is all part of the "sound".  Do you hear it? 

 Get ready, prepare for the storm. I hear thunder in the distance! God is filling up his water source in the earth. He is building His Kingdom. 

The water source needed for survival is on the inside of you.  An abundance of Love, Salvation, Health, Peace, Favor, Honor, Faith, Prayer, Power, etc..You are blessed to BE A BLESSING. 

So be a blessing to as many as you can, wherever you can and however you can.  The Harvest Is Here!

Abundant Blessings Upon You,

Pastor Pamela

Press IN and Step UP!

Just the other day I heard the Lord say “It is a new season. Press in and step up”.   It caught me off guard, so I began to focus my prayers in that direction for clarity and understanding.   I went to the calendar, Rosh Hashanah (Israel’s Civil New Year) had already passed. Could that be what God was talking about?  Then my eyes dropped onto the current day’s date, October 3^rd.. Yom Kippur (Day Of Atonement).  

Yom Kippur is a High Holy Day for the Jewish People. Traditionally, among many things, it is held as the day when God decides the fate of His people over the next year and whether or not their names will be found in God’s Book(s).   However, the thought of  “next year”, caught my attention.

Now please understand, as believers in Yeshua (Jesus Christ) our names are written in the Book Of Life when we become Born Again.  We also know that the Bible tells us … “ I know the plans I have for you. Says the Lord….”  Jeremiah 29:11.  I promise…I am not getting weird on you, hang in here with me.  God does use seasons and times to speak to us, if we are listening.  By the way Seasons in Hebrew is Moed . Which means  GOD’S APPOINTED TIMES

As I stood by my calendar praying, in my spirit I saw a book open and the page fall open to a “New” or “Next” chapter in the book.    That was it!  We have entered into the “Next” Chapter!  This is the new season the Lord was speaking of.   How wonderful is our God that He would be so personally involved with the lives of His children. Yours, mine …the entire Body Of Christ!!

I want to remind us again. As followers of Jesus Christ, our atonement was completed at the Cross and activated by faith when we were “Born Again”.  So we don’t have to wonder and wait or beg and plead in order to know whether this year has been atoned for. 

But, for those who are willing… It is time to press in and step up.   A  New Season is here and it is God’s Next Season. A new chapter is being rolled out like a scroll.   I am ready to Press In and Step UP into IT! How about you??

Shalom & Love,

Pastor Pamela

The New Season Is Here!

God has launched us into a NEW season! I have such an expectancy in my spirit :) These days we are living in are not just the End Days.. but the Best Days! Destiny is calling.  This is a call that you do not want to miss. Jesus wants to Wow the world with His Glorious Bride. God by his precious, Holy Spirit is moving in the earth and looking for people who he can download heaven into.  People that will be vessels bringing heaven to earth, reaching the world for Jesus. "Use me God".. we cry.  He is going to !  The season for it is here.. Don't sit on the sidelines. Let God amaze the world through you.  


Shalom and Love,
Pastor Pamela

I feel an urgency in my spirit tonight as I am writing this post.  It is time for the people of God to move. To take that step of faith NOW and move forward.  There is an anointing here for such a time as this.

God is making all things NEW!  He is rebuilding upon the foundations. It is "facelift" time!!  A time of refreshing.  Stir yourself up in your most holy faith.  This is not the time to be staying on the shore where things are familiar and comfortable.
God is calling you out into the deeper waters!

In Ezekiel 47 we read about the healing waters pouring out from the House Of God.  Some water was ankle deep, knee deep, loin deep and then deep enough to swim in. Although these verses are a prophetic picture yet to come.. they still have significant input for us today.

How much of God do you want?  If God says He is doing something NEW.. are you going to jump in or play it safe at ankle deep? God wants to build  new upon the foundation of your life. Which means, all that you have been though has a purpose in Christ!  This is not then the time to stay on the shoreline. Breakthrough and victory is here . There are deeper waters out there! Waters touched by God for your healing, deliverance, rebuilding, refreshing~

It is time to go swimming
Go ahead and JUMP :)
Shalom,
Pastor Pamela

Worship and the tabernacle online bible study part 2 will be up on www.myvcc.com this week. We will be studying what worship was like in the days of Adam before and after The Fall.  Plus we will look at Ezekiel 47 in the light of worship.

GO! It Is "Sending Season"

It is "Sending Season". God has deposited so much within you and He is NOW going to make a withdrawal!
You will walk in the Perfect Will Of God. In the right place at the right time. For such a time as THIS!  It is "Sending Season". God is sending you, as a "Carrier" of His Presence and as a "Gatherer" of the hearts of men.
The anointing is here for this! It is time.  You have labored, stood and believed. Your foundation has been laid and it is strong. God is going to build something new upon the foundation you have labored through.  
Psalm 104:30  Then you send your Spirit, and new life is born^[a] to replenish all the living of the earth. Living Bible Translation

A fresh power a fresh anointing! God IS doing this in your life. But there is more, He is going to SEND you full of His Spirit to -

GO! Be the "Carrier".
GO! Be the "Gatherer".
GO! Prophesy of New Life.
GO! Be the vessel God works through to Replenish and Refresh.

Your Foundation is solid, It's time... GO!

God shared this Word with me as I was studying Worship for a new online bible study. Truly, the only way we can be ready to be His vessel is through worship. It is time Church and we need to be prayed up, have our praise on and wearing worship as our lifestyle. Please join me starting July 9th at www.myvcc.com and lets study worship together.

You Are Pregnant!

You are pregnant with a Promise from God! It IS alive within you. What is it that HE has promised you? I challenge you... Do you know? Do you remember?

It's time NOW, for doors of opportunity to open!  Do you perceive this? You are about to give birth ! The suddenlies are here to stay.


Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]— Ephesians 3:20 Amplified

Go ahead... Dream it, Imagine it ! When you can see it, you can say it.                  Remember, words create or birth worlds. 

Glory to God! You are pregnant with a Promise. It is time right Now, prepare to give birth to a new world.

Praise The Lord,

Pastor Pamela :)
