HERE’S YOUR PEN!
by Joni Ames

 
Dear Friends,

I just awoke from a most amazing dream and ensuing conversation with the Lord which I pray inspires and catapults His creativity within each of you!
 
I saw a huge desk in an office in heaven where boxes of thousands upon thousands of pens were open and being released and sent out to many. They were pens of many colors, and each color represented the emotion or purpose of that pen. I’m talking about the trunk or casing of the pen, not the color of the ink. So don’t get stuck on that. Perhaps the ink was the same color. I do not know. Anyhow….
 
The red pen meant that what was to be written with it was of utmost importance in timing and content. Even that color had a variety of meanings as well. Some were red for redemption, like the blood of Jesus, for they would be used to set someone free. Some were red because of the important nature of it’s use. Some were red because God was angry and would use it to pour forth His Godly Fury about a situation.
 
Some pens were blue because a person was sad, and it would bring comfort. Others were blue because it would bring forth revelation. Others were blue because it would announce that a storm was over, and a clear blue sky was ahead.
 
Some pens were green because they would pour forth teaching, knowledge, and growth. Some were green because God was giving a “Green light; Go!” word to someone.
 
Some pens were gold, for they would pour forth words of wisdom.
 
Some pens were silver, because someone had been tried like silver, and redemption was given.
 
Some pens were purple, for they would bring forth royal decrees.
 
Some pens were black, for what was written would bring forth something clear, plain and simple, yet needed.
 
I continued to walk around the room and look into all of the boxes of pens – there were so many! And every pen and each color had meaning.
 
Please note: Don’t get overly “stuck” on the color. It’s only symbolic. I believe He gives us what we need, when we need it, per the occasion He calls us to write about.
 
First of all, let me say that there are writers of all kinds who God inspires. There are writers of books and writers of songs. There are writers who draft constitutions for nations – like ours! There are writers who write columns in newspapers, or a writer that sends one simple “Letter to the Editor” that will bring a thing to the attention of a city and change it’s way of thinking or it’s destiny. There are writers who simply pick up a pen and send an occasional note to a friend that arrives “at the right time” to bring hope and encouragement in letting someone know they are loved and thought about.
 
This word is for writers of all kinds, in every nation, to let you know that the drought is over, and the pens of the ready writer are being released to each who ask for it! We each need to be diligent and obedient with ours!
 
“Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.” (Jer. 33:3)
 
Let me also say that this is not about some “magic” thing of divination, like demonic “automatic writing.” The enemy has a counterfeit for all the Lord has. Let’s not go there.
 
The idea of pens is symbolic, to represent the leading and inspiration in the anointing of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the task Father God wants to release in and through us via writing. So, lets not get “stuck” on the use of the word “pens.” He clearly showed me that it was okay to use our computer keyboard!
 
Don’t get trapped in the “paralysis of analysis” by any of this. That would stifle the Holy Spirit’s creativity. Instead, allow Him to speak to your heart, and give to you the understanding through His Word via the scriptures as well.
 
Before I go any further, it is important to say here that God is perfect, but we are not. Even when writing under the unction, we are still human and make mistakes in grammar or spelling. Therefore we still need to proofread and edit things, for the purpose of clarity and function.
 
Anyhow – I wish you could feel what I feel in my heart and spirit about this! A myriad of emotions and tears came forth as a result of my experience. For it was very clear in this experience that, through our obedience, He can and will change the lives and destinies of many!
 
How This Came About…
 
As I was praying about the current events in the news, I asked the Lord what I should say to bring peace and comfort and hope to people. In my heart, I “put myself down,” and said, “Lord, I don’t know what to say in order to do that! Please help me!”
 
The Lord made it clear that it wasn’t just me that He wanted to use, but many. Including those that He would have me send this to.
 
Anyhow, He responded in the following way….
 
================
THE EXPERIENCE
================
 
Overnight, the Lord met with me in a dream, and began to show me that there are many that He has called in this time to speak forth His Heart. But we must trust in Him, not ourselves, to do that. And it is important to not ignore the “urge” to write out what He speaks to us when He begins to release the anointing to do so. Also to be rid of all other distractions as that happens. He gave me this scripture:
 
“My heart is indicting a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” (Psalm 45:1 KJV)
 
He then said this to me….
 
“You need to pay attention to the voice that speaks as the words wrap around the corner at the end of each sentence. Always be ready to explore the adventure, as if you were climbing upon a beautiful rainbow!”
 
“My words have life and meaning, and through them, I will paint pictures of hope and destiny that will be more powerful than any situation, and outlast many generations.”
 
“Release them (My Words) from the captivity you’ve placed them in, and you will see the captives set free, and the promises of a lifetime unfold before your very eyes – for yourself AND for others! “
 
“I have kind words to speak to those who need them, and harsh words to say to those deserving of such. Be ready and listen for both, for each will accomplish my intended purpose to rescue, heal, and set that particular one free.”
 
“Even in this time, I shall give words to heal a nation and cause them to come to Me.”
 
“So hold fast. Hold tightly to My Hand. Don’t ignore the small still voice I send to you when the oceans of anointing are stirred and ready to roar and be released. For pictures will be painted through the words I give to you that will remind my beloved ones to hold on, remain strong, and survive and thrive in the days ahead.”
 
“Be ready, for the season of drought is now done, and my steady, constant rains shall refresh many through the written word – through you.”
 
As He said this, I saw beautiful paintings of futures of people and lands  birthed simultaneously as words proceeded from His mouth, to and through typing hands, and onto each page.
 
==========
HEADS UP!
==========
 
The Lord wants to use you to speak to others. He does that, you know. Words are important. He used Words to form the whole earth and all of creation!
 
He has released the armies of pens to the “ready” writers. “Ready” means, “Immediately available,” “Willingly disposed,” “Likely to do something indicated,” “Spontaneous,” “Prepared for immediate use.”
 
These “Ready Writers” shall spark nations to change and come to their knees before Him. Do not hold back nor ignore using your “pen” when it begins to tap and to dance in your heart, by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
 
It’s time! Go forth! And win many battles!
 
Constitutions will be written, new nations spring forth, and new histories released at the stroke of these pens.
 
Grab one, as if a sword or a rifle, and use it with all your might! For the pen truly is mightier than the sword, and the results are full of hope and life!
 
He wants to use His Creativity to touch and breathe on your sanctified imagination. Don’t let the enemy speak condemnation to you about it. Remember, His Word says,
 
“Casting down imaginations [reasonings], and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Cor. 10:5)
 
==================
ATTENTION WOMEN
==================
He also reminded me of Psalm 68:11, which speaks directly to women. I’m going to give you several versions, for it enhances the meaning. It says:
 
King James version:
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.”
 
Through this, I believe He showed me that He will literally use His anointed women to literally publish what He releases to them.
 
NIV Version:
The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng (army).
 
NASB – New American Standard Bible
 
(11) The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host (army):
 
And let‘s not forget verse 12:
 
“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”
 
I added that last part because I want to make it clear that there are those of you women out there that are AT HOME that He will use as well. In your “quiet” time, however short or long, as you place your hands on the keyboard or pen, He will speak words through you that will go forth and be like the rudder of a ship, and change the course of history in the lives – and even nations – of many. – Even via a free blog on the Internet that will reach into many nations. Let God be your publisher! Instantly! As soon as He gives you a new word!
 
===========
IN CLOSING
===========
 
So grab your “pen,” whether a literal pen or computer keyboard, and your “ready” self, and Go forth!
 
Writers of songs, God will give you prophetic songs of the Lord that will melt the hearts of un-believers and bring deliverance and hope – even to nations!
 
Writers of notes and letters: God will speak to your heart about someone who needs a word of encouragement, and your email or note in the mail will arrive at just the right moment, and bring great peace and joy to the heart that needs it!
 
Writers of scholastic materials: God will give to you the ability to impart amazing knowledge and wisdom to His children!
 
Writers of business plans and contracts: The Lord shall give you the exact wording to avert danger and bring forth clarity of purpose and destiny.
 
Writers of political speeches and documents: God will enhance your ability and anointing to convey His Heart and meaning and release and set your nation free!
 
Writers of blogs, books, and articles: The dam of dryness has been broken! Write books that will mark the times and change lives!
 
Writers of all kinds – arise and speak life and hope and healing to people and nations and generations that need your obedience! It’s time!!!!
 
========
PRAYER
========
Father, by the power and authority of the name and blood of Jesus, please release to all who read this your heart and hope and anointing, and give to them their “pen of the ready writer.” We thank You and, in advance, give to You all the glory and honor due to You for any good that is accomplished! Amen.

The day will come when you will find yourself in the pathway of one with the spirit of jezebel. Sometimes it is in a man but most often you will find this spirit working through a woman. It is a seducing spirit and one of control. This spirit when it discovers who you are in Christ becomes very underhanded attempting to tear down your work in the Lord. It tries to make you doubt who you are in Christ and is the accuser of the brethren.  You can never please the jezebel spirit or any evil spirit and you need to stand against it  and its arsenal of witchcraft.

Little innuendos that always puff themselves up, put you down by criticism and sow doubt spew out of their mouth toward you. They always have a better way of doing things. Out of the mouth of the unsaved it will say the word of God is past. No it is light and life and more up to date than today’s newspaper. It will accuse what you are doing in Christ and even send another to spy you out when they are not capable of doing so themselves. Basically they despise the true things of God and when they find out you are a prophet or prophetess of the Lord all hell breaks loose. Up till that time they are controlling but then all the guns come out against you as its religious spirit attacks.

Beloved stand guard and be warned that as you come against this spirit you need to stand strong and do not back down.  Remember Elisha’s victory as jezebel came tumbling down.  This is what  need to happen in the spirit realm.  That demon spirit can be torn down from the heavenlies being broken of regions as well as people as His church corporately intercedes for wisdom to deal with this spirit.  In the multitude of counselors there is safety and also wisdom.

Those that need delivered from this spirit will not be delivered unless they are willing to submit to those in authority over them, repent of their sin and walk in humility before God and man.  Only then can this spirit be cast out of them.  In some cases they first need to be born again by the Spirit of God.

This spirit will peck at you and put you down continually as it puffs the one with it up.  If you have an area of your life where you have difficulty or not done according to their perfectionist spirit they will peck at you as a woman who pecks at her husband constantly.  It looks for any area of weakness in your life.  It attacks the true prophet of God and we need to be warned again against it.

It can flatter to dig its talons into you and you need to be filled with the Spirit to fight this battle. Condemnation is one of its weapons and you need to refuse condemnation and thwart it in the name of Jesus.  Remember that there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (Romans 8:1)

Through the discerning of spirits God is revealing this spirit to His body and there are those that are discerning when it is in their midst. This spirit hated Elijah and did not like the all out assault he waged and won against the prophets of Baal and it does not like you.  Keep up your guard and ask Father God to send others your way also to help battle against this spirit.  It will often say, you do not have to be answerable to any man and no man is going to tell me what to do. It is in rebellion against all true authority set in the Word of God. The Spirit of God says the opposite, submit to those that are in authority over you, walk in humility and submit to one another in the fear of God, esteeming others better than themselves.

We are to walk in an opposite spirit in fear and submission to the Lord.  Praying without ceasing, in the spirit that we will know how to answer every man.  Jezebels Kingdom is coming down.  Arise and fight the battle being wise as serpents and harmless as doves.  The Lord is faithful and will help you to wage this war wisely and win. Christ will be exalted and the devils kingdoms are coming down.  We serve a God who is all powerful who has given us weapons of warfare to fight the battle and win.  We are over comers who walk covered by the blood of the Lamb and love not our lives to the death.  Stand in the power of the Lord your God, resist the devil and He will flee from you.  Victory is assured in Christ alone and by the blood of Jesus we overcome.  Overcome Beloved by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony.

INTERCESSORS ARISE!

The term ” asleep at the switch” came to mind this afternoon when I saw something delayed.  Intercessors came to mind.  Father God wants His intercessors to be alert and on the wall so that they might hear Him speak and reveal His plans and also to thwart the plans of the enemy.  If you are one that has difficulty standing on your post, it is time to wake up and take your place. God is calling His intercessors to arise.

³⁰ And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30 (AMP)

 Be Of Good Cheer!

So many are going through the fire right now and it is not an easy place to walk. Believers are battling to come into what the Lord has for them, waging war and at times it seems the enemy is winning but we know that is not the case.  We need to stand our ground and not waver and this is where it becomes difficult.  Many are lacking natural strength and can just not do those things that are needful.  We need to pray for reinforcements to be sent in and be willing to take the help needed to get the little jobs done.  There is a much bigger picture than each one of us. Many are still in the process of becoming the mature sons of God. It is the body working together to bring in the harvest and see the Kingdom of God established in the earth that is the bigger picture.

These trials are not pleasant but necessary as Father God is working in us a far more eternal weight of glory. The sufferings of this present time are not really much in the light of the greater glory!  Praise His Holy name!  Jesus is in control though at times when we see all that is taking place in this world we can wonder and feel insecure.  Our security is in Christ alone and not in this world system that is crumbling, decaying and totally falling apart.  One just has to turn on the evening news and hears no good thing at all.  We need to turn our hearts to God’s word and be encouraged and refreshed and it is there we are anchored in Christ, fed and given wisdom and the ability to go forth in the power of His Spirit.

Much is being written in the name of the Lord but we need to hear Him.  Too much reading of everything that is being spoken, and written can cause confusion in your life.  We need to be selective in our reading and hear from God ourselves.  Yes, God can and will speak to you if you will take time with Him.  You are not following other ministries but following Jesus and so need to spend time with Him to grow in being one of His followers, for there is a cost in being a true disciple.

Standing for truth in this hour will cost you everything but is worth the price to be a speaker of the truth of His Word in love.  Let us be willing to pay the price and come out of this worldly system.  Much of the church system is still the religious system of this world but when God tells you to move, you with His grace, will find heart to do so and will be better off for it.  The wilderness is necessary in our lives and it is just for a season. 

Yet, who would you rather please, God or man.  I want to please the Lord and it is your heart’s desire too!  Let us not quit, nor faint when going through these fiery trials but get closer to Jesus and let Him wrap His loving arms around you.  He will not fail you and truly understands the language of tears so cry out to Him.  Let Him do a perfect work in you for in the days to come you will be thankful that you are anchored firmly in Christ.

Again, do not feed on all that is around you but feed in the Word of God and yes, read other prophetic words but judge them according to His Word and when in doubt, put them on the back burner and wait for confirmation.  Do not rush to be a part of all you see and read online for it will confuse you.  Instead come back to the foundation of His Word, spend time with Jesus and in all ways acknowledge Him for He is the one that will direct you path.

In times He will open the doors that should be open and shut the doors that need shutting. Be willing to be changed, and have your world to be turned upside down for Him.  Friends change, ministries change, and we are changed in the process to be more like Christ.

Be of good cheer, Jesus said, for I have overcome the world.

Standing In The Gap For The Sin Of Abortion

Sometimes we are so blind that we do not see our sin as God sees it. We can be grateful that He takes time before dealing with a nation to point out our sin and show us the way of repentance. Jesus is the answer to a nations sin issues and when we repent of our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. The Lord is addressing the sin of abortion in the United States of America as we have heard tonight on a call to fast and pray sent out by Lou Engle of The Call.

I was painfully aware that our own nation is not exempt of this sin and also needs to come to a place of repentance and that laws need to be speedily changed to protect the unborn lives that are so dependent on the decisions we make. The laws we make do affect the generation to come and those thereafter and the sins of the fathers are visited on the children to third and fourth generation and some sins even to the tenth generation. What are we doing about our sin? What are we doing as the body of Christ in prayer and intercession? Are we calling on the Lord and repenting for the lives of those whose blood has been shed and like Abel’s blood is now crying up from the ground? God sees it all! He knows it all and nothing is hidden that will not be revealed.

We want our nation spared the natural disasters and yet do we deserve that our nation be spared? This is a soul searching question but one that needs to be asked. Are we asking the Lord to also change the hearts of those that are pondering abortions in the near future? Even this next week abortions are scheduled and yet we forget and these lives hang in the balance. Could we by our prayer change the hearts of many of these mothers? Can we change the heart of a nation through prayer, fasting and intercession? Yes we can!!! We have been called for such a time as this to make a difference, in the lives of others. Do you believe the Lord wants to use you to pray, stand in the gap and repent of the sin of abortion in our land?

The unborn are crying out as they are taken to the slaughter. Doctors that perform these abortions are murdering children. Mothers and Fathers who have abortions are killing their children and so many later live with deep regret troubling them each and every day of their lives. I know of one woman who suffered mental illness because of the abortion she had in her early life.

Let the Lord tenderize your heart to the cry of the unborn. Let Him stir you to stand in the gap. Let Him allow you to see sin as sin and not call it otherwise. The Lord saw the blood of Abel crying out and He sees the blood of each and every child that has been shed. Abortion breaks the commandment of the Lord that says, you shall not kill. In having an abortion you are committing murder.

Father God will most surely forgive you for having had an abortion and cover this sin in His precious blood. He is a loving and forgiving God. He is merciful to those that repent. Let us also repent of not carrying this burden and passing it off for others to take care of. Let us pray for our leaders that they hear the Lord and have their eyes opened to see. Let us cry out and spare not that the fear of God and a spirit of repentance come upon the people of our land and see if the Lord will again show our nations favor.

Now is the time to repent of our sin! Now is the time to hear Him! Now is the time to not delay but come quickly to Him in repentance! Now is the time for tomorrow may be too late! Now is the time to hear the voice of the Lord as He is speaking to many in the nations. God is raising up youth with a standard. He is raising up prophetic voices among our youth today that will go far beyond that which we have done for the Lord and will walk fearlessly speaking the whole counsel of God. Let us pray for these youth that God will raise them up with His fire in their bones and that they will speak without fear of man. Let us pray everywhere without doubting what the Lord will do for a nation that walks in repentance and fear of the Lord. Let us watch and pray, and repent of our sin. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Steven Woodworth MP for Kitchener Centre needs to be commended on his filing a motion for Parliament to  review Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada that states that children are not human beings until complete birth. This archaic law definitely needs changed without delay. Let us pray for this to go forth and that any committee chosen would have wisdom in studying this law and that our Government has the wisdom of God to bring forth this change.

Dear Sir,

It has come to our attention by www.HSLDA.org. about the right to home school in your nation of Sweden.  We support  the right of the Himmelstrands and other families in Sweden who want to home school.” Eyes are upon your nation as to how you handle this and other cases.  Parents need to have the freedom to choose the education of choice for their children.

Respectfully,

Swedish Homeschoolers Urgently Ask For Help From Homeschooling Families in the USA by Jeremiah Lorrig

 The Right To Home School

This article drew my attention this morning.  Recently I know of one in our own Nation of Canada who has gone through a battle with the secular system in her right to home school her child. We are admonished in the Word of God to train up our children in the way they should go.  That way is God’s way.  Yet, we put our children in a secular school and wonder why they come out at the end of that schooling tainted by the world.

I am not saying home schooling is for everyone but there are many good home school programs and children have graduated from these programs with more skills to help them in this world than that which they received in the secular system.  Do…we want our children taught things that are contrary to the Word of God.  Of course not!  I do recall in high school myself having a history class many times a week that taught us evolution and it was taught in depth. Thankfully it did not sink in, perhaps because I had a foundation of at least going to Sunday school till I was twelve.

We have seen God taken out of our schools, school shootings and many lives destroyed. It is with sadness we remember the shootings at Columbine High School and only a week later one in Tabor, Alberta with the loss of precious young lives.

The secular system who has removed prayer from the schools and does not want the Lord mentioned has had sadly lacked the ability to protect our children and instil good values into them. We are told in the Word of God, woe to those that call evil good and good evil.  Plainly there are Christian parents who do NOT want their children tainted by an ungodly world system.  As parents we are responsible before the Lord to train up our children in the way they should go and that did not say to turn them over to the government to do our job.

 So…it is with this thought that we are posting this article about the battle in Sweden that a family is having in the right to home school. Pray for them and let us be praying fervently for our children daily that the Lord keeps His hand on their lives for His glory.

Prayerfully we need to ask our Heavenly Father what He wants for our children and whatsoever He says to you do it with all your heart!

Blessings,
Patricia Hamel

“Swedish families are now fighting for their basic rights and are looking for support from other freedom lovers abroad. I am asking all of my fellow citizens to join me in supporting the Himmelstrands and other families in Sweden who want to homeschool.” -Michael Donnelly
(PURCELLVILLE, VA)—Amid increasing persecution in Sweden, beleaguered homeschool families look to the United States for help.
One homeschool family, the Himmelstrands, chose to homeschool their three children for years before they were denied permission from their municipality in 2008. Now the Himmelstrands face fines in excess of $26,000 (US).
Jonas Himmelstrand, president of the Swedish Association for Home Education, appealed yesterday to the supporters in the United States and around the world, “We ask our fellow home educators to email the Swedish authorities on a mass scale about the situation in Sweden. We want to let Swedish officials know that their actions have drawn international attention. Please write to the Swedish Embassy in your country on our behalf.” (Photo: Swedish Association for Home Education)
Although it is likely that there are fewer than 100 homeschoolers in the country of 9 million, Jonas says the persecution “is against all international conventions on human rights.”
Homeschoolers in the United States have started to respond. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) have filed a brief in a Swedish appellate court on behalf of the family. Michael Donnelly, HSLDA’s Director of International Relations, explains the gravity of the Swedish, “Homeschooling is legal in the United States and in many other countries only after decades of tumultuous legislative and legal conflicts. Swedish families are now fighting for their basic rights and are looking for support from other freedom lovers abroad. I am asking all of my fellow citizens to join me in supporting the Himmelstrands and other families in Sweden who want to homeschool.”
Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms.
