An Invitation to Abundant Life

I declare, fresh oil to be poured out for the new season, we are embarking upon.

Isaiah 55:1

Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price

[simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing].

2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy].

3 Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy

(kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David.

"Am I thirsty?" "Am I satisfied?" "What satisfies me?" What fills me up?"

There is a clarion call: "Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good and allow your soul delight itself with the profuseness of spiritual joy!"

There are ample opportunities provided as we engage what heaven is releasing on earth.

We have access to the Father in Christ Jesus our Lord, In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).

(see Ephesians 3:11-12).

In John 4:14 Jesus said to the Samaritan woman: whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst! But the water, that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life...

As we surrender to the Lord, yield to the Holy Spirit and receive the blessings, we take vital steps to receive the living waters. You not only never thirst again, but also out of you shall flow rivers of living waters. There is an everlasting, never ending supply available to us in the Holy Spirit. It reminds me of Jesus Christ wrapping Himself around me as a winter coat. We are to put on Christ and forsake the deeds of the flesh. We are wrapped in His love and filled with the Living Water. We can live in the Lord's Abundant Life, which He came to provide for us. Living out of that overflow of abundance causes creative miracles, deliverances, salvations, and healing to occur spontaneously.

John 7:37-39:

37 Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud

voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!

38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has

said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.

39 But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

Jesus said in John 10:10 b: "I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance

(to the full, till it overflows)."

MINISTRY TRIP TO GERMANY, NORTHERN AFRICA AND PARIS, FRANCE

Isaiah 55:5 " Behold, you shall call nations that you know not, and nations that do not know shall run to you because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you."

As I prayed about Isaiah 55:5 and pondered the words, I started to call forth nations, declaring that they will run to me because of the will and purposes of the Lord my God, whom I have asked for the nations (see Psalm 2). The people in those nations, will be receptive to the Lord and actually are waiting to hear The Good News!

The # 5 stands for grace, therefore grace is released over the nations to come to the Lord

Which brings me to the next ministry trip taking place from

October 24 to November 19, 2012.

For years, I sensed the call to go to and to pray for nations in Northern Africa, which have been

resistant to the Gospel of the Kingdom for a long time. Fortunately, much prayer initiatives have been done and many individuals have been visited by Jesus in dreams and visions, and have become believers.

The mission field in those nations is unique and I am certain it will be a Luke 10:1-9 effort. Going into a village and finding a house of peace, where the owners have been prepared and are people of good reputation and good relationships, and allow the Lord to lead.

We will be going to a village, where there is already a connection. Furthermore, other

opportunities for ministry will be unfolding. Trusting that healings, and miracles will manifest.

In Paris, France there will be daily meetings and a meeting with the emphasis on women to step into their calling and destiny.

n the Frankfurt area in Germany, meetings will be held and I will be able to enter a new village.
