Monday Manna - November 24, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

ACCUSER (Heb. shapat "judge"; satan "adversary"; in the NT, Grk. kategoros, "prosecutor").

Paul make it quite clear to the Ephesians that we are not in a battle with one another, or as he says flesh and blood but with demonic forces that work ongoingly to destroy the individuals in the body of Christ. The problem with this is that they use us to do their dirty work. Its our tongue again, and our hurts, and our unforgiveness, and our unwillingness to be honest with where we are. God is not condemning us and he is not out to slap us down around every corner for every error we make and we all, my self especially, make errors every day and yes they are sin. I try to stay up on my repentance, but sometimes they slip by or I do not recognize them or especially with words we do not realize how damaging they can be.

The statement below makes it clear that as God reveals to us in these passages that satan is the accuser of the brethren and he even accuses us before the throne of God. In the passages we see a strategy of satan and his demons and we need to come up higher and disconnect ourselves from these spirits and speak life to and about one another. In the passage in Zechariah 1 it is Joshua being accused. As far as I can tell Joshua was an awesome honest god centered man, but still the enemy is wrongfully accusing him.

We should not be turning on one another but loving and gracing one another. This is my hearts desire, I haven't arrived, but I desire it and are attempting to speak life and not death and to show it by my actions. We can always find something out of sink in our brothers and sisters and always will as long as we are on this earth and walk in this flesh, but we are more than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us, because we need strength, his strength to be conquerers and overcomers. Christ's promise to us is that we will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. I would rather focus on these then finding error, and with words destroying peoples lives. Proverbs makes it clear with too many words comes sin. We are all in process, working out our salvation. The blood of Jesus has already paid for the sins of the past, present, and future positionally, but we do need to repent and to stop doing what we have done in the past.

One of our problems is that we make statements that are our reality but not the reality of others or sometimes not even true, but seem true to the person speaking or thinking it. It is not possible to change that persons mind because it is reality to them, only Holy Spirit can speak to the hearts of man and change our heart, which God tells us is evil and desperately wicked and we do not know it.

We are living in someplace in the end times, don't know exactly where, but we are there and the word tells us that in these times, "even if it could be so that the elect will be deceived". That is a scary passage. I do not want to be deceived or deceive anyone else. The weapon to that is relationship with the body of Christ, in the order of God, vulnerability with those you walk closely with, being in the word regularly and in prayer and submitting yourself to one another

Eph 6:12-13
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
NIV

It states that an accuser is a legal term, a prosecuter, one who speaks derogeratory things, a slanderer, an enemy. These are not terms that are part of the Kingdom of God, but of the kingdom of satan. Lets choose the Kingdom of God and its ways. This is still 2008 and the year of new beginnings, can we all begin a fresh slate a new beginning in speaking life and not death to or about one another.

ACCUSER
(a-kuz'-er): This word, not found in the Old Testament, is the rendering of two Greek words: (1) kategoros, that is, a prosecutor, or plaintiff in a lawsuit, or one who speaks in a derogatory way of another (Acts 23:30,35; 25:16,18; Rev 12:10); (2) diabolos, meaning adversary or enemy. This word is rendered "accuser" in the King James Version and "slanderer" in the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version (2 Tim 3:3; Titus 2:3). According to the rabbinic teaching Satan, or the devil, was regarded as hostile to God and man, and that it was a part of his work to accuse the latter of disloyalty and sin before the tribunal of the former (see Job 1:6 ff; Zech 3:1 f; Rev 12:10).

Zech 3:1
3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.NIV
Rev 12:10-11 -10 Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has happened at last — the salvation and power and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the Accuser has been thrown down to earth — the one who accused our brothers and sisters before our God day and night.
NLT

ACCUSER (Heb. shapat "judge"; satan "adversary"; in the NT, Grk. kategoros, "prosecutor").

1. One who has a cause or matter of contention; the accuser, opponent, or plaintiff in any suit (Judg 12:2; Matt 5:25; Luke 12:58).

2. In Scripture, in a general sense, an adversary or enemy (Luke 18:3; 1 Peter 5:8). In the latter passage reference is made to the old Jewish teaching that Satan was the accuser of men before God (Job 1:6-11; Rev 12:10). See Adversary.

Ex. 17:5 Leaders were never meant to lead all alone. A team has always been God's intended design. When Joshua went out to wage war against the enemies of Israel Moses was not in the front lines, but was prophetically holding up the staff and when he could no longer hold them up, Aaron and Ur undergirded him with their arms and when Moses could no longer stand, they found a rock for Moses to sit on and they continued to hold his arms up to win the battle. The point person isn't a god just a job description of the Kingdom. God is not a respector of persons, and in him their is no male nor female all are created in His image and have a destiny designed by the creator. Let us take our 'point' in the battle knowing each and every person is necessary and significant to the Kingdom of God

Monday Manna - November 10, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

I have long ago said my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways, and in this hour of confusion remember I am not the author of confusion. I am the rock and no storm can blow me down so be sure you have grounded yourself on the rock of my son Jesus and not on shifting sands and the words of man for I am the only true God and my words are life and truth and they do not change and I am in the midst of you and in the midst of everything in the earth and I have everything in order in the plan of the ages and in the fullness of time all things will be revealed and understood. This is a day of true faith to arise in my people and to keep their eyes on Jesus and follow him all the days of your life not just the ones you are in agreement with. Know that I will not alter the history of the earth in this hour but I will arise in even greater and greater magnitude to show myself as the one true God to all peoples. Have I not said and have I not done in ages past again and again declared and then they shall know that I am the Lord their God. Stand strong in this hour and rise up to be the church in the earth walking in the spirit and in the power of my word.

What is on your heart today. Realize that your heavenly Father has his hand to his ear to hear what that is. He wants to partner with you to see your hearts desires come to fulfillment in Him. He is always on the alert for our heart cries and for the fullness of Himself to be manifested in us. Take time today to slip away and be with him, just be with him, don't bring your bible, or your worship music, just Him and then do no talking, just be a listener and be in His presence. You will be filled with wonder, faith, peace, confirmation, hope, grace, and strength to see your hearts desire come to its fullest potential.

Jesus came to heal and restore. The secret to your victory is what you already know. we are positioned for victory because Jesus prepared the way for us and exampled it for us, it sometimes just doesn't look like we expected it to. You are here in whatever circumstance bacause you are ready and positioned for Kingdom purposes.

Don't have an opinion when Jesus is not talking. It's foolish to have one when God is not speaking.

Living with mystery is good. It makes us hungry for more of Him.

Father is more concerned about your intimacy with Him than with your comfort. Let your point of possible and greatest disappointment be the place of your greatest sucess. It is in the contending and labor that you will see it manifest

Monday Manna - October 6, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

We need to be reminded that this whole Kingdom thing is about team. And that means you and me and everyone else. It is not for just an elect few, it is for the entire body of Christ, the Saints Movement, that's right a movement of the saints taking the gospel, signs and wonders, salvation, healing, prophecy, raising the dead to the entire earth and if you name the name of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you need to be in the line of the army outside the 4 walls of the building we call church and into the highways and byways, the marketplace, the hospitals, the schools, the government, the media, medical field wherever and whatever he has created you to be. Get on the bandwagon and get your armor in place and walk in step with your brothers and sisters.

Hebrews 10:19-20 "So dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven's most holy place, because of the blood of Jesus. this is the new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us through the sacred curtain, by means of his death for us."

It is clear that we are in difficult times, but from Paul's message to the Hebrews that the trials and struggles of life brought them to the point of wanting to give up on the call of God. He gave them and us the remedy to keep going and reminding them and us of the promises of the Lord. We are not looking for rewards, but they are a reality. The whole chapter is courageous encouragement and hope to press onward, from one who was courageous and pressed forward through unimaginable difficulties. Paul also reminds us of the power of the blood and of Jesus constant priestly intercession for us. Sometimes a simple reminder is all we need to clear our head and get a new perspective

Monday Manna - September 22, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Put your ear to the ground my children and listen to what even nature is speaking in this season. I have not been silent and I will not be silent. I will speak through all I have created to be a trumpet for me and my kingdom. Know today that a trumpet sound is being released that will set in motion my will and plans for the remaineder of this year of new beginnings and year of gates. It has been a year of turmoil and a year of questioning, and a year of positioning you and my purposes for the things I have prepared since the foundations of the earth. My earth is growning for the return of my Son and my heart is aching for the souls of mankind who have yet to hear my voice, take your place be attuned to my voice and my spirit, listen to the prophets discerning truth from your spirit and begin to cry out for the souls of men.

Monday Manna - September 15, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

How great is our God, we speak these words easily, but do we really believe he is Great??? Ask yourself what did he do lately that I knew He was great. Start with waking up in the morning and begining to breath, then realize that your mind began to process thoughts and memories, then remember that you were able to eat and digest what you ate, and were able to walk from one place to another. We sometimes take for granted the simple things of our life here on earth. It is all profound but continues to proceed daily without much excitement. Be excited today that you are alive and have the opportunlity to advance the Kingdom of God in a great way, take up your faith and go out and see Jesus manifested through you to the next person you come in contact with.

Monday Manna - September 8, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Isaiah 41:10 is the promise for today, and the Lord of Hosts releases this to you TODAY "Do not fear, for I am with you, do not anxiously look about you for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Monday Manna - September 1, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

The Lord can be trusted to do everything He has promised to do, no matter what we think in our own mind or understanding. Provers 3:5-6 declares "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight". He insists on things being in His timing and knowing in our knower that His word is true. Ask yourself today if you really believe that His word is true.

Monday Manna - August 25, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

We can have false belief systems, not important where they came from, but it is important to uncover them and renew our mind and replace them with the truth. One of those false belief systems may be that when Father disciplines us we feel condemnation, rejection, pain, shame and the such. This is not the discipline of the Father because His word tells us there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It didn't say we don't sin and need discipline by the Father, the enemy is a liar and he comes deceptively and interjects condemnation, rejection, pain, shame, etc.

Conviction, now that is a horse of a different color and Father will bring that upon us and give us the opportunity to repent and change our ways. Repenting means
turning completely around and going the other way. The word tells us that because Father loves us he will discipline us. We all need it, we need the parameters of the word to keep us in correct alignment with Father so the enemy cannot get us off course. My strong sense in the last few months, and now considering the different shakings happening in the body of Christ is that we must be in the word, in the word, in the word, renewing our minds and spirits, knowing what His word says and acting upon it...

Monday Manna - August 4, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Part of the word I released as the beginning of 2008 was in regards to many who would be going home to be with the Lord, that they had finished their race. Also as a normal part of that word would be people not necessarily of the kingdom of God dying also. It has truly been a year, shocking to me actually, where so many have left this world. It began January 2, when our 46 year old daughter in law left this earth, it really hit home quick and I knew the word had many implications. God also revealed to me in a gathering in Fresno in February, with students from Bethel school of the supernatural that the gates of 2008 was very important. I saw a pair of ancient gates, rusted, about 4 feet tall, not very big, not very strong, just normal gates both longer than usual. And beyond the gates was flat land with some trees, very desolate, dark and covered by fog so it was hard to see. When I looked down I saw that the gate was not locked. The Lord then revealed to me that these were the gates of death. I then prophesied that we must push through these gates of death that we have allowed to just sit in front of us thinking we couldn't overtake the gates of death, but we didn't realize or didn't believe the word of God which says that Jesus went to hell and took the keys of death and the grave. I was astounded to realize that this 'land' of death is a Kingdom to overcome by the power of the blood of Jesus and that we have in 2008 the word of the Lord to rush in taking this land and declaring life where there has been death and taking authority, that has already been taken by Jesus Christ, to declare death under our feet and declare life, abundant life. Where have you allowed death to take over your 'land', it is time to rise up and establish life and kick out the spirit of death.

Monday Manna - August 4, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

The word of God directs us in Prov. 3:5-6 to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight". Powerful promises that require obedience and trust and faith to see the fulfillment. Remember also that you are in the palm of His hand and that your life is not your own, you have been bought with a price. The Lord can be trusted to do everything. He promised to do, but he insists on it being in his timing. His word is true.

The Nehemiah Project - Repairing the walls of our city (your city) of God
1. It took years of prayer for the nameless faces of God lovers
2. Intercession must be primary. Get God's heart for the city
3. Be light and salt, each one
4. Confess our sins
5. Neh. 1:9 if we return to our first love and obey and do what His word says He will gather us to the place He has chosen as a dwelling for His name. Not one church, but the city of His dwelling
6. It Took people - 52 days to rebuild what had lain in ruin 120 years.
7. Children are the most important resource - the enemy knows that, we are fighting an enemy for them.
8. Ch. 3 we see leaders working alongside everyone else, all equals, sons, and fathers, different families (churches), business men, government officials. It takes all getting down in the dirt serving God and one another.
9. Confess our sin, bless the land, restore, take authority over the spirits of witchcraft, death, suicide, pray wisdom on leaders in the city, appropriate the blood of Jesus
10. See the atmosphere change over the city.
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES

Monday Manna - July 21, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Matt 23:8-12
Don't every let anyone call you Rabbi, for you have only one teacher, and all of you are on the same level as brothers and sisters. And don't address anyone here on earth as Father, for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father. And don't let anyone call you master for there is only 1 master, the Messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

No need for me to add any words of mine, these speak quite well for themselves, we need only to obey and follow them.!!!

Being at a low point is inevitable in life at time! BUT GOD!

Monday Manna - June 30, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Zechariah 3:3 but the whole chapter. Put yourself in this place. You need to hear a word from the Lord and the Lord answers and gives a promise that is for the now and for this and other nations. We must come before our high priest and stand and be stripped of our filthy rags and understand that the accuser satan, makes accusations against us, but the Lord Christ himself says I, the Lord reject your accusations satan and rebuke you. We are like a burning stick snatched from the fire and we must stand before the angel of the Lord and believe that our sins have been removed from us anad that Jesus now by his blood and by his stripes gives us fine new clothes, clothes of righteousness, not of mans hands and not of this world but of the world to come that will continue on and on and on and on and on.......
We must follow his ways and carefully serve him, then we will be given authority over the temple and the courtyards. We and they in the book of Zechariah were symbols of things to come a removing of the sins of the land in a single day which he has already done in the past and will do again. Are you ready for this??? And from this place the peace will rule and reign.

Monday Manna - June 23, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Read and meditate on Matthew 24, the entire chapter. The revelation of times coming is clear and as Christ followers we are supposed to let people know what is coming. Some specifics are there to help us know the times and seasons of Christ's return. We are to navigate the times we are in and need to be prepared so we do not become deceived, for a spirit of deception is running rampant within my body. Jesus will return when we least expect it. We are to look at the book of Daniel and the abomination of desolation spoken of there and in Matthew 24 and understand.

Monday Manna - June 16, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

There is a great deal of transition taking place in the body of Christ. It is a time of transition. It can be a difficult place to be in, but you must submit yourself to Father's purpose and the Kingdom. I know that at times we struggle and don't submit, but you will learn to submit in the process. We will not always do it all right, but at least we must try.

Monday Manna - June 9, 2008 - Candi MacAlpine

Matthew 20 verse 1 is the parable of the vineyard workers coming to work at different times of the day but all getting the same 'salary'.

The Kingdom rewards are not like the world. The Kingdom pay is according to our willingness to 'work', not how long but just willing to work.

Then in verse 17 he begins to communicate to them of his impending death. The religious spirit is in cities and wants to kill the true Kingdom of God. Jesus told his disciples what was going to happen when they arrived in Jerusalem, but they didn't have ears to hear, they were more concerned about having the position of being seen. How like them we are. We need to press onward to the truth of the word applying it each and every day in every situation.

2008 Word of the Lord - December 31, 2007 - Candi MacAlpine
(Click here for print version)

This will be a year of suddenlies, a year of gates, gates will open and gates will close, gates will lock, and gates will be unlocked, gates once opened will close, and gates once closed will open, ancient gates will be revealed, gates to cities and nations, gates I have waited to reveal for centuries.

Have ears to hear in the spirit the sound of the gates opening and closing. Be discerning of the times for as the gates open and close the enemy will be stalking to try and deceive and go through gates I do not intend for him to go through. The gate of revelation will be opened in 2008 into realms of the spirit for my body, revelation of my design for my church in the earth. There will even be those that I will release with the revelation that are unknown to the circuit and streams that have the light shining on them at this time. For I will receive all the glory and you will know that this has come from my throne.

I shall also be opening the gates of heaven to many from across the earth who have been faithful and served mankind and my purposes. Their reward is full and they have run the race to the end and have truly won their race and received their reward. Do not cry and do not be afraid it is but the time and hour of eternity calling for my church to truly arise and prepare to be enraptured by my love and know my heartbeat.

There will still be more releases in the automotive realm that will amaze many.

My prophetic words will reach new heights and exposure in 2008 in places not open to the prophetic before.

The rocks are truly ready to cry out for I am passionate to see the bride of Christ arise to realms of worship that will transform cities, regions, and possibly even nations.

The fire of my presence will burn hotter and hotter in 2008, revealing everything that must be exposed and burned so that the purity of the glory can be released in my church. Do not be afraid of the fire you are secure in me but it is time for many to be purged and delivered from ancient and iniquitous patterns that have held captive the saints. Cry out for the blood, it is sufficient to cleanse and purify you from all patterns of destruction.

The wealth of the wicked is still being stockpiled for wars yet to come. Intercede for the exposure and depletion of these resources to be transferred into the Kingdom of Light.

There is a beginning and end to all things. Does not the first sentence in my word say "in the beginning God created"? I am and have always been and will always be the only creator. Do not allow the spirit of deception deceive you into believing anything different. Does not the end of my word say "Yes, I am coming soon"? Believe that in the fullness of time my Son will arise from His seat next to me and return to bring you into your eternal security and destiny. My word is true and is not a lie. Man will endeavor to try and discount my word this year in new ways. Hold strong to the truth that is between the lst sentence and the last sentence of my word.

Blessings and release upon us as we step through the gate of 2008.
Candi


As we prepare for many words that will come forth through many prophetic voices I want to quote from reliable and wise sources some of the explanations of types and symbols that the Lord clothes prophetic words in to help us understand and prepare for His word to come to pass. I highly recommend these 2 resources as musts in any believers library.


Kevin Conners "Interpreting the symbols and types" GATES "is a symbol of entrance, power, authority, Gen. 19:1; 22:17; 24:60; Ex. 32:26-27; Heb.13:12; Ps. 24:7; 100:4; 107:16; 122:2; Mt. 16:18"
The Number 8 "symbol of new beginning, resurrection day. Jn 20:26, Lk 9:28-35, Ac 9:33; 1 Pet 3:20; Gen. 7:12; 2 Pet 2:5.

Dr. Paula Price's "The Prophet's Dictionary" GATES: "In Bible symbology, gates were important. They were installed at the city entrance and were also used to guard castles. Typically, gates were built as defenses with towers. The purpose of the gate was to provide a movable barrier through which people could be screened and enter the city upon permission. Ancient gates were opened in the morning and locked at night and were the only way to lawfully enter the city. The most common gates were constructed with thick walls, double doors, and reinforcement bars. They usually had huge keys that the gatekeeper was to safeguard with his life. The guards patrolling the gates were combined peacekeepers and soldiers. In times of war, attacking kings strove to enter the city by the gate. To do so meant his army had conquered their enemies inside and he was no longer barred from taking over. The previous inhabitants controlling the city and its contents were subdued. It is this symbolism that comes forth in Jesus' admonishment to strive to enter in the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13). Gate strategy was paramount in a ancient war campaigns. Metaphorically, it was understood in antiquity that once a king entered the city by the gate he had access and control of all it's wealth, commerce, and resources, having seized full authority over the land. To break through the enemy's gate was a major triumph and all warring kings looked forward to it. See the Almighty's prophecy to King Cyrus regarding the gates and double doors in Isaiah 45:1."

"Fortified cities had gates that served many purposes. They were often designed to house guards, store siege supplies, and hold off enemy invaders. Gates were also where business was transacted, courts convened, and where diplomatic figures resorted to carry out political affairs."

"To prophetically dream gates or to see them in prayer indicates the Lord's introduction to a higher more authoritative course of life. Generally an elevation in business, politics, or even spiritual warfare is foreshadowed. Gate symbology goes all the way back to eternity as Job 38:17 speaks of them in the underworld and Genesis 28:17 speaks of them in heaven in Creator God's domain. There is also the reference to the twelve gates to God's New Jerusalem in Revelation 21:12,21. A synonym for gate is portal. It has the same connotation but with more spherical implications in mind."

"The number 8: "The number of new beginning, such as the new week in Genesis 2:2-7 (see seventh verse especially). The passage explains it as the number following the last day of the Lord's week and the first day after His Sabbath rest from His labors. Resuming His work, the Lord created Adam on the eighth day. That is the day the clay vessel was filled with the spirit of life and soul breath from the Father. While Jesus was the offshoot of David, it is interesting to note that David was Jess's eighth son who marked, coincidentally, the new monarchical reign of Israel after Saul's death. Its application to the New Testament church is seen in Micah 5:4-5 where it mentions the seven shepherds. With Jesus as the Chief Shepherd, that brings the number to eight, with the seven shepherds foreshadowing the seven angels spiritually governing and pastoring the New Testament church. Eight souls were saved from the antediluvian flood. The same eight were rescued from eternal death when Christ preached the gospel to them in Hell. See 1 Peter 3:18-20. Eight was also the number of days to expire before a newborn male child could be circumcised and dedicated to the Lord under the Law of Moses."
