URGENT, URGENT

THE LORD SHOWED ME IN A VISION FOR 2011 THAT HE WOULD PROVIDE HIS PEOPLE WITH "DIVINE INTERVENTION HE TOLD ME IT WAS A FAVOR FROM GOD. I ASKED HIM HOW WOULD THIS WORK IN 2011 THE YEAR OF DISORDER (11 MEANS IMPERFECTION, DISORDER, CONFUSION) AND HE CLEARLY SPOKE TO ME "Not by might, not by power, but my Spirit says the Lord Almighty" (Zechariah 4:6).

"DIVINE INTERVENTION A FAVOR FROM GOD"

PASTOR/FOUNDER

"AND ANOTHER DIVINE INTERVENTION A FAVOR FROM GOD"

As I preached the Word of GOD "It's Time  To Take Possession and Occupy on 23 Oct 11, the LORD spoke to me and said occupy where you're at.  On 25 Oct 11, we made a bid for a third suite, and (3) day's later we occupied the suite, GLORY to GOD for the great things he have done.  I have been ministering on the Principles of Sowing and Reaping for the 2nd month now and testimony after testimony have been released on the goodness of the LORD for our Church and individual lives.  Matthew 10:41 says He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.  To GOD Be The Glory!

"SOMEBODY SAY ANOTHER ONE"

"ANOTHER DIVINE INTERVENTION FROM GOD"

March 2012

Gen. 50:20 "But  as for you, ye thought evil against me; but GOD meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."  We are excited to announce the occupation of a 4th Suite for the building of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.  The enemy wanted to have us lose all 3 that we had instead we will add another one for pain and suffering.   Touch not my anointed and do my Prophets no harm!

To GOD Be The Glory!

JUBILEE SEASON IS UPON KBCM

During intercessory prayer one Tuesday night, the LORD spoke to me the word JUBILEE, He said, "I'm shifting you into a season of JUBILEE - The Acceptable Year of the LORD".  JUBILEE means "the blast of a ram's horn" a loud blast or sound of great joy.  JUBILEE  causes shake-ups like:

1.  Land was given a vacation (rest)

2.  Slaves were released

3.  Debts were also released

4.  Land was returned to the original occupants who owned it at the beginning of the JUBILEE period.

JUBILEE is a time for GOD to restore, replenish and rebuild in areas which only He can, a time for GOD's release, redemption, renewal, restoration, reconciliation and revenge.  GOD is going to reward His children who have persevered through pain and hurt, who been lied on, spit on, ripped and betrayed yet continued to preach and teach the unadulterated WORD of GOD.  This is for you - It's JUBILEE!

2012  THE YEAR OF OCCUPATION AND ENLARGEMENT

REV. 11:5

"WORD OF THE LORD for 2012"  Do not believe the false prophets who say the world will end on December 21, 2012, no man knows the day or hour when My Son will return for His bride.  Did I not already tell you when the end would be near.  Because of the false prophets speaking in My name lies, I will cause them to leave their wealth to My just, the faithful remnant.  Did I not tell you already that the wealth of the unjust is laid up for the just.  This is the year that a wealth transfer will take place for My people, no more stretching to make ends meet, to make do.  I'm putting you in a place of OCCUPATION and ENLARGEMENT - get ready, sound the alarm and possess the land, says the Lord thy GOD.
