Bishop Eddie L. Long is an acclaimed teacher, entrepreneur, author, and modern day prophet to the nations. He currently serves as Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia. Visit him at http://www.bellministries.org or go to http://www.NewBirth.org
God has a prophetic word for all of us: it is manifest time. God said to tell you to dust off all your dreams that haven't come to pass that He spoke to you; all the vision that He has given you. He is about to bring it to pass - with quickness.
Over the last two years, many of you have been through great trial. God was aligning and transitioning you. When you talk about Jesus going to the tomb and telling Lazarus to come alive, come forth. That was the final transition, the final turning. Over the last two years, all the stuff you were going through was for your final adjustment. It actually positioned you to receive an instant manifestation of God.
When you get up now, don't get up like you got up in 2004. Already you are starting to get discouraged, and things seem as if they are going the same way they went in 2004. If your mind has fixed itself on tradition and routine from last year, when God does His manifestation you won't even know it because you are still tied into an old dimension. You need to release; come forth. When Lazurus jumped out of that tomb, he didn't look back. God says to tell you that He's bringing you out of the graveyard, out of that dead place.
The prophet Joel said, and it shall come to pass afterwards that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants, and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days (Joel 2:28-29). Menservants and maidservants, this is your day. One of the things that used to make folk sick in the church is because it looked like the only person being blessed was the preacher. It would cause folk not to go to church. God said that now He's blessing the servants; I want to get the manifestation in the pews. I want it in your house.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 says, write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time. It's time. What God has in store for you, He's been cooking up over the ages, but because it is going to be so delicious, you had to wait and wait. He's about to serve it up right now. For further in this passage, the Word says, for it will surely come, it will not tarry. That means, what God has coming can't be stopped. When you read on, it says the just shall live by his faith. For everything I just announced to you, all you got to do is believe it.
Faith is a divine persuasion that draws us away from unbelief and produces in us a tenacious decision to stand on the Word of God. Faith is a gift from God to rely on His ability and not ours because it is a divine persuasion that brings us into victory and the positioning for it. That means there has to be an adjustment in your mindset because faith is not something you do. Faith is something that comes with what you receive. If you receive what God spoke over you, faith is in the word He spoke, which causes faith to go to work to make what you receive of God come to pass. Which means, if I tell you to dust off your plans, and you go home and do the same thing you were doing, nothing is going to happen no matter how much you shouted because you didn't receive the word that
would put faith to work. The bible says, to each he has given a measure of faith. Hebrews 12:2 says, looking unto Him who is the author and finisher of our faith. That means if God spoke it, He authored it, and it is His responsibility to finish it. The only responsibility you have is to receive it and confess it, and then it has to come to pass. When trouble hits, God is trying to show you another side of Him. He has already put faith in you to make sure you already have victory. Every trouble is to show you His mercy, grace, personality, character and image so you can walk more into that. For everything that God is about to release, the power to open it is in believing. The hardest thing to do right now is to get rid of doubt. The area you are having trouble believing in is the exact area He's about to erupt in. Your unbelief is about to be arrested.
This is the part that takes work: if you don't read God's Word, there is nothing to work. When God speaks to you, write it down, post it, date it, and say, It will come to pass. Some of you need a It Will Come To Pass book. I know you have been waiting, but though it tarries, it has got to come.

The Stress Of Christmas
By: Michael A. Verdicchio | 31/12/2009In the mail, you receive a Christmas card from someone who was not on your list of cards that you sent. Oh, no! Now what do you do? It's too late.

The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran (6)
By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 29/12/2009The Bible says that it is a great evil against God by marrying foreign women; such foreign women made King Solomon sinful. In the whole Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in their rights regardless of race, color, location etc. On the other hand, in Islam, anyone says or believes that King Solomon was sinful (because of his 700 wives) is categorized as disbeliever and he will dwell in the Eternal Hell in the Afterlife.
