Build THE WALL! God’s hurry to build the Kingdom
I heard the Lord say, “Come into my garden.” I looked and saw a yellow-orange glow pouring out from between iron gate leaves. It looked a little like flames. Stepping through the gate, I was approached by a stick-figure god. He was just a drawing in black ink, and I could see right through him, literally – I could see the flames in the background right through his body. This god kept trying to give me something but failed, over and over.
Then I saw THE WALL on my left. I immediately thought of the wailing wall. There was a traditionally dressed Jewish man in front of THE WALL, bowing and rising, again and again as he prayed. I realized that this man went to THE WALL over and over many times a day to pray, verbalizing his requests to God.
I looked at THE WALL again, but now it was on my right. Focusing in on it, I saw the prayers of the saints – little pieces of paper stuck between the rocks. Suddenly Kim Clement was there! He was speaking and gesturing to me, but I couldn’t hear him. I could only see his lips move and hand gestures. He wasn’t looking directly at me, it was almost as if he was talking to someone else; yet, I knew he was talking to me. I got a sense that he was telling me how incredible and unbelievable it was that I haven’t walked into my destiny yet…that I haven’t yet walked into my full inheritance.
“You hide them in the secret place of Your presence…” (Psalm 31:20 BSB).
I caught a quick vision of a park bench somewhere in the garden, tucked away, hidden in the secret place. That was when Kim grabbed me by my wrist and started to lead me – no, almost DRAG me – by the arm. His steps were so long that I semi-ran behind him as he strode purposefully further and further into the garden. THE WALL flew by for what seemed to be miles, but I could still clearly see the rocks with the prayers stuck between them.
Meanwhile, the vision of the park bench was ever playing out in front of me, even as it appeared that he was dragging me toward it. I could see it in the vision, yet it was like a split screen – on one side was the bench, the other was him dragging me alongside THE WALL. Even so, somehow, it was still one vision.
As he dragged me and I semi-ran behind him, I asked-thought, “God, why Kim Clement? Why him?”
The Lord reminded me of something He had told me the morning I found out that Kim had gone home to be with the Lord. He had told me that unlike most mantles, that Kim Clement’s mantle had been exploded, landing on many. That is why there are so many prophets now: even though many did not pick up their piece of his mantle, many did. This made prophets into strong prophets, and strong prophets even stronger.
The whole time the Lord spoke, the whole time I walked-ran behind Kim Clement, I could still see a vision of the park bench ever in front of me.
Suddenly I realized the Lord had come to me as Kim Clement! I said so, and He turned to look at me over his shoulder. Dragging me, even as I semi-ran behind him, He said, “Now you’re talking! Now you’re getting it!”
After what seemed like miles, the film reel slowed down, like a roulette wheel slowly coming to a stop. We stood in front of a particular spot in THE WALL. He again reminded me of the mantle falling on many, and that one of them was me. Kim Clement pointed to THE WALL with his free hand, while still holding onto my wrist, turned to me and said, “It’s your time!”
I say this to all of you now – It’s YOUR TIME! Whatever your mantle, walk – no RUN – to your particular spot in THE WALL. Get your sword in one hand and your building utensil in the other. Get busy building the Kingdom!
The Lord is dragging us behind Him, forcing us to move more quickly in this accelerated time as He purposefully positions us. He has chosen a particular spot in THE WALL for each of us in this hour. He has given each of us a unique assignment, along with unique gifts and talents to fulfill it. We are the living stones (see 1 Peter 2:5), fulfilling our part of God’s grand blueprint, positioned exactly where He wants us. Prayer holds it all together, stuck like mortar between us.
The Lord will take each of us by the hand to make sure we do our part to build a wall of hope, a wall of faith, a wall of exhortation, a wall of salvation for the greatest harvest in history! We must answer their prayers with prayer. We must help others build their particular spot in THE WALL. We must teach them to fight with their sword in one hand while ministering and building with the other, just as in Nehemiah’s time. “Those who built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves so that everyone worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other hand,” (Nehemiah 4:17 AMPC).
The Park Bench – the time to Park it in eternity, to rest – is ever there before us, ever waiting for us; however, Now is the time to work and build THE WALL. Rest will come, when the work is done.
“While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me,” (John 9:4 BSB).
Blessings in this harvest season!

The spirit of Offense and How to Get Delivered
OFFENSE and HOW to Get Delivered!
This is a hard and messy word about Offense, but it must be taught. It is nasty. It sneaks up on us, attaches itself to us and then spreads like a virus onto others. It is a tactic of the enemy for these last days to keep us from unity. But God! He wants us to get cleaned up. He recently told me that offense is the cork in the wine bottle and He wants His people uncorked in this hour.
How to know if you are offended:
1- You get an icky feeling in your stomach (spirit) when you think about someone or
2- You get mad when you think of them or
3- you don’t want to be anywhere near where they are or conversely,
4- you are upset that they are not friends with you anymore (ex: they are friends with your friends but not you now; they go places without you, etc., etc.) akin to jealousy, but being offended makes you mad and judgmental.
The spirit of offense will either make you want to run and hide or verbally slanderous, maybe even vicious.
Getting Delivered STEP ONE:
Offense is a spirit, ie, spirit of the world, spirit of jealousy, familiar spirit, lying spirit, perverse spirit and so on. Generally speaking, the spirit IS what it is named – obviously Legion is not. Regardless, offense is a spirit, so we can deal with it in the same manner as any other spirit.
When dealing with spirits, understand and remember that we have total authority over them. Jesus said in Luke 10:19-20, “Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.”
Also in Luke 7:7-9, “But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it. 9When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion,” (because the centurion understood heaven’s chain of command and how authority operates in the Kingdom!) So all you have to do is “speak a word” in faith and belief and all of heaven jumps at your command. That’s powerful!
Getting Delivered STEP TWO:
Once you realize that Offense is a spirit, you are most of the way to home plate. So, here are the steps:
- Repent to God for getting into agreement with it;
- Command it to leave you NOW;
- Ask Holy Spirit to come into those places in your soul that offense previously occupied
- Ask Him to fill you up.
Getting Delivered STEP THREE:
NOW comes the hard part:
A) repent to everyone that Holy Spirit puts in front of you to repent to, verbally or in writing; and
B) repent to those that YOU are offended with.
This one is really hard, because they may not even know that you are offended. They may ask you what you were offended by. Be ready to tell them. Ask for their forgiveness, whether it’s A or B. If they are unwilling, love them anyway. Repent anyway. It’s not about them, it’s about you and God.
Don’t be surprised to find out that you have offended MANY more people than you thought you did! Once you start down this trail the Holy Spirit will leave no stone unturned…in fact, it may seem as though offended people are crawling out from under every rock. But don’t go hide under the rocks that they just crawled out from under. Keep at it. It will eventually end, and your wine will flow because you are uncorked!
THEN, once you have repented, work to not be offended – or offensive – again. If you find yourself getting offended, repent again. Keep yourself on a short leash.
Most of these things we must learn first-hand. Unfortunately, with offense, we are usually the last to know that we are offended, and offensive as a result. But once we have learned this valuable lesson, it is difficult to forget! We are quick to repent and ask for forgiveness once we have cleaned up our messy trail.
Many blessings to you as you clean up behind yourself! Just remember, you are not in this alone! Holy Spirit will help you every step of the way! Ask Him – He is your Paraclete, the Comforter and the Helper.

A Strategy: Unlock the Door – The Treasure Lies Within
In a vision I heard the Lord say, “Step over the threshold and do not be afraid. Turn the knob. Do you not see it? The pile of treasure glows. It is in your soul.”
I stood outside a dark brown, wooden doorway. As I turned the knob and the door partially opened, I saw a huge pile of coins on the floor, glowing with a green light. Pushing the door open, I stepped through the doorway and stood in a large room. I could see the outlines of the walls but they were indistinct and darkened. All I could really focus on was this pile of coins…just the pile of coins laying in the center of the room.
Taking a step forward toward this pile it suddenly grew, exponentially! Whereas before I had been looking down at the pile of coins, instantly I was looking UP AT this huge heap of glowing coins, now taller than me. It had grown so incredibly quickly, with literally no warning as I took a step toward it.
I realized in that moment that the Lord is setting us up for revival. Somehow, I knew that the coins are resources: wisdom, peace … a strategy.
“Yes, Lord! A Strategy!” I cried out.
Then the walls faded from darkness into an old-fashioned room. I could see the wallpaper and a large, white fireplace. I knew somehow that the fireplace was the only source of heat and light in this room. Next to the pile was a family, kneeling, side by side, gazing upon the pile of coins; however, their pile was much smaller, not the giant heap of coins that I had seen earlier.
I know the rest of the family is there, but the father is the focus. He wore a white, curled wig with a ponytail, such as one would wear in colonial days. I knew now that this is during the revolution – the revolutionary war. The Lord is bringing a revolution — to His world, His family, His revival!
As I looked upon the father’s face, it was glowing from the reflection of the coins. He was smiling sweetly with utter contentedness and total satisfaction as he gazed upon the coins.
Inquiring of the Lord, I asked him, “What is the significance of the fireplace, Lord?” Without any hesitation God said,
“People gather by the fire!”
That hit me so deeply in my spirit! Of course! Yes, we all want to be by the fire! In the natural, we gravitate to the fireplace when it is lit; we gather around a bonfire or a campfire. We long for, are attracted to and gather around the supernatural revival fire of the Holy Spirit, too!
He continued, “The Fire is the treasure within! Ignite it! Unlock the door! Swing it open wide for all to see. Step over the threshold! Allow your treasure to glow.”
I asked Him, “How do I ignite it Lord? Help me understand! Show me!”
He didn’t answer immediately, but just moments later, as soon as I turned on some worship tunes, a song came on that I had never heard. As I stood for a moment to listen to the lyrics. It was about fire, joy and testifying! I smiled as I realized the Lord had answered my plea. The strategy is to ignite the fire within with joy, the joy of the Lord, spread by the word of our testimony!
YES, LORD! We overcome with our testimony (see Revelation 12:11)! The right testimony at the right moment can be the catalyst – the SPARK – that ignites the raging inferno revival fire!
This ties right into what the Lord has me doing in this season. I am gathering “Breakthrough Bytes” from anyone who has experienced breakthrough in any area of his or her life. These are short video testimonies of breakthrough – and ANY testimony is a breakthrough! The goal is to broadcast these short video clips about breakthrough throughout the day online and on social media to encourage the body of Christ. This plan of God could help to ignite the fire of revival!
The Lord speaks in so many ways, but it is His heart to gather us around THE Fire – HIS Fire! – the Fire of His Holy Spirit.
We have seen some revival, a little here, a little there…but I believe that the Lord would have us SUDDENLY, EXPONENTIALLY walk into an explosion of His Revival Fire, combust and burn with Holy Ghost flames! I believe, just as the pile of coins suddenly, exponentially increased in size, we will do the same with our resources for revival – peace, wisdom and strategies! Our testimonies will encourage and convince, evangelize and give hope, providing peace and comfort in the God that is no respecter of persons (see Acts 10:34). After all, if He’ll do it for me, He’ll do it for you!
Let’s shout it out! Get out your megaphones and shout out about the goodness of God through your testimonies! Ignite the fire within! Ignite the Revival Flame, with joy and the word of your testimony.
Many, many blessings in this season of revival!

Do Not Be Condemned!
I hear the Lord saying,
The accuser of the brethren has been working overtime and My people are feeling condemned. This is not right.
Romans 8:1 “Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.”
These are more than just words. Paul himself cried out to me on more than one occasion to remove the thorn from his flesh – his sin, his ungodly desires, those that he just couldn’t stop doing!
“O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am!” Romans 7:24
“For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am ever doing.” Romans 7:19
My people believe that because they carry My Spirit that they are to be perfect – they should not do or think the evil ways that they do. I am here to say that is simply not truth. You are becoming perfected…you don’t start out that way!
Understand that there is much more going on in the spiritual world that filters into your natural world than you will ever know or understand. In fact, it would take all eternity to figure it out. All of it impacts your thought life, your actionable life and your spiritual life…even your prayer life.
I know these things and I do not fault you, and here is proof, for my friend Paul experienced and wrote about what I want you to KNOW in your heart:
“14 We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a creature of the flesh [carnal, unspiritual], having been sold into slavery under [the control of] sin.
15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns].
16 Now if I do [habitually] what is contrary to my desire, [that means that] I acknowledge and agree that the Law is good (morally excellent) and that I take sides with it.
17 However, it is no longer I who do the deed, but the sin [principle] which is at home in me and has possession of me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]
19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.
20 Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin [principle] which dwells within me [fixed and operating in my soul].
21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands.
22 For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new nature]. [Ps. 1:2.]
23 But I discern in my bodily members [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].”
And here is how you are judged this day:
“Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”
She answered, “No one, Lord!” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.” (John 8:10-11)
Before I came to earth you would have been stoned for your sins. But since I have come – and am still here now – I forgive you, even before you become perfected!
I say to you today, “Go and Sin No More.” I know you cannot be perfect, and I do not expect that. One day you shall be, when you sit with me in my temple in heaven. Then, sin will have no more rule or reign over you, because you will have no more earthly bodily members (see Romans 7:23 above).
Until then, know I love you! There has never been a moment when you were unloved – even AS you were sinning, I still loved you, and I ever shall. You are mine. You are branded. You are my child and I will NEVER change my mind about you.
God’s Word has THE FINAL WORD! It is Finished-Finished!
In Luke 7:7 the centurion said to Jesus, through some friends,
“7 Neither did I consider myself worthy to come to You. But [just] speak a word, and my servant boy will be healed.”
Speak here in Greek is LEGO, Strong’s 3004 légō (originally, “lay down to sleep,” used later of “laying an argument to rest,” i.e. bringing a message to closure) – properly, to say (speak), moving to a conclusion (bringing it to closure, “laying it to rest”).
The Word here in Greek is LOGOS, Strong’s 3056 lógos (from 3004 /légō, “speaking to a conclusion”) – a word, being the expression of a thought; a saying. 3056 /lógos (“word”) is preeminently used of Christ (Jn 1:1), expressing the thoughts of the Father through the Spirit.
I love how God speaks on so many levels simultaneously! The book of Revelation says that His voice is the voice of many waters, so I am always looking for Him to layer meanings when He speaks.
So, it is important to note that LOGOS comes from LEGO – both words mean conclusion – or, it is finished! That means that God’s Word (LOGOS) has the FINAL WORD (LEGO) – the final say so! It is Finished-Finished!
On top of that, the number 7 means Finished as well! So, in Luke 7 (Finished) verse 7 (Finished) the word uses LEGO and LOGOS, Finished-Finished!
What God is trying to tell us through this tiny passage of scripture with the HUGE MEANING is this: we need to grasp the concept the centurion knew experientially…he spoke and things happened – BECAUSE HE HAD THE FINAL SAY-SO! Not just because he spoke, but because of his AUTHORITY wrapped up in his words, coupled with his KNOWLEDGE (belief, faith) that whatever he said would happen!
We MUST understand that we have authority given to us by God Himself. When we open our mouths, Jesus comes out – or at least His authority does, wrapped up in our words!
Here’s what it means to us, as His children, the body – we have WAY MORE POWER to change the world than we are currently utilizing! The difference is knowledge that we have it and belief that it will work. Simply put, have Faith like the centurion’s!
- Let’s apply this to healing, as an example. Using the centurion’s own words, He said,
“For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it.”
We already know that we have authority, and that we are to use it. But here is an extremely important nuance – the centurion said that his authority was the same kind of authority that Jesus had. READ IT AGAIN! He said, “For I ALSO am a man SUBJECT TO AUTHORITY with soldiers under me…” He saw Jesus as the General of His Army, with soldiers under him – just like him! He acknowledged that his servant’s sickness was under Jesus’ command, and that it MUST “GO” when He said so!
The definition of the Hebrew word for COMMAND implies words of force or power as a General commands his troops. This includes the TEN COMMANDMENTS! We have always been intended to be His army!
”By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit,” (1John 4:13 AMPC).
The Bible says that He is in us, and we are in Him. We MUST understand that the same exact authority that Jesus had is the same exact authority that we have. All we have to do is to choose to BELIEVE it. We have heard it over and over and over; however, in this moment in history WE must KNOW this in our “Knower”!
By using our God-given authority, we open our mouth and Jesus comes out; therefore, when we tell pain, sickness, infirmity or cancer to go, it goes. It has to, because it is under our command! Change your mind! Simply BELIEVE it will happen!
Now, let’s move on to making things COME to us!
- Now let’s apply this to finances, one of my favorite subjects! Again, using the centurion’s own words:
“For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it.”
It is the same thing, just a different command! We open our mouths and Jesus comes out! We tell finances to COME, and they must COME, because the Word of God has the final word!
Just like the centurion, acknowledge that ALL FINANCES are under Jesus’ command – and He is in you! Need money? Talk to it! Tell it to come! Speak it in! Need a new job? Speak it in! Find some scriptures and decree them, speak them, sing them! The Word of God is all-powerful and has the Final Say! Lay the argument to rest! Finish it! Speak the word – Lego Logos!
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom,” (Luke 12:2).
Most importantly, BELIEVE IT!! You must believe it BEFORE you see it. You must KNOW that your authority is the “God kind” and He gave it to you, straight from the throne room of the Kingdom of God. You MUST know that your authority is Jesus’ authority, and not just something that jumped in your head. Open your mouth! Decree a thing! Take authority over the commands your soldiers are obeying. Give them proper, biblical marching orders. You will be victorious, because the Word is victorious! It is finished!
Much love and HUGE blessings in this new year!

Are you STILL on hold? Don’t hang up! You’re NEXT!
Do you feel as though you are “on Hold”? You are not alone! I have heard from many who feel as though they are in limbo at this moment, literally “on Hold”.
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to make a phone call and getting hung up in a phone tree! Or, worse, being placed on hold…indefinitely! Sometimes, after we have been on hold for what we deem as “long enough”, we hang up before anyone comes on the line. I have even heard someone coming on to answer my call right as it was disconnecting. Now THAT is frustrating!
But fear not, for you are next! You are in queue, and your turn is coming right up! God hasn’t forgotten you! He has not left you hanging, even though it surely feels as though it has been a very long time, maybe even as if it is time to hang it up, call it quits and throw in the towel.
Listen, saint – DON’T HANG UP! Instead, hang in there just a little longer! Don’t give up! God is doing a thing. We don’t need to know what it is, only that HE IS!
Your turn is coming, your number is coming up and it will be time, in the fullness of time, to move ahead. And when it is your turn, nothing and no one will be able to stop you! He guarantees it!
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4)
“Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb,” (Genesis 30:22)
“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand,” (John 10:28-29).
