The foundation is the first thing built when constructing a building: this building, that building, any building that you are building to abide in i.e. relationship building, spiritual building, emotional building, ministry building, business building, every building.  Not only is the foundation the FIRST thing built, it is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to build.  And, it must BE built with a resilient truth, full of integrity, for the stability of the ENTIRE structure.  The foundation can’t BE built to benefit only one part of the structure, the relationship.  That’s scheming and selfishness.

When establishing your relationship building foundation, have you factored in the soil (soul) conditions, climatic (emotions, sensitivity) conditions, natural (psychological and spiritual) hazards, and the tools needed to righteously deal with the nearby hills, slopes, rivers and waters?

If it has been revealed that the land has some soul conditions that are weak, and have the tendency to slip here and there, you need to build a slab or raft foundation.  This kind of foundation covers the entire area of what is BEing constructed and will help you remain afloat on shifting souls.  You have to “continuously” pour the concrete Word of YAH in this foundation; and the iron that sharpeneth iron should BE inserted to avoid cracking of the concrete.  I strongly advise the skirting of the Holy Spirit so that the entire slab doesn’t slide away due to the shifting soul.  SELAH!

In addition, soul conditions that are causing other problems, like convulsing mindsets and landfills (areas of the soul containing buried waste), or tainted water (spirit) needs another type of foundation called pile foundation.  Concrete columns of YAH’s Word are piled about 13ft BElow the foundation’s surface soul (the weak soul).  This is done to prevent rebellion against that which is good.  Also, it is accomplished in a series of diggings and it is plowed deep to the nub of the soul condition (the spirit).  Based upon how desperate the building situation is, this pile foundation can BE precast (ready-made) or set up on site.

Deception, disguise, distortion, flimflamming and waffling people at the foundation of a relationship doesn’t and will not EVER make good for stable walls and frame.  Even when dismantling and starting over with truth and honesty in the same soil is prime, some, just some, will not exert the tenacity, nor do they have the desire, to tear down what has been built on a deceptive foundation.  They’d rather move onward to fresh soil and build a firm, righteous and stable foundation.  SELAH!

And so, I’ve discovered The Beauty of Building.  We can all decide the foundation we want to build on BEfore we build on it.  This decision will ultimately make our structure to BE one of two things, a Solid Rock or Sinking Sand.  SELAH!  ©27 June 2012, Angela M. Smith

On last night, March 2, 2012, while heading south on US 31 from Kokomo to Indianapolis I begin to listen to the Holy Spirit speak through the clouds and wind.  Early today, we were under Tornado watch.  About 1pm to 1:30pm it got really dark outside.  There was rain, wind, hail; then, there was sunshine until approximately 5pm.   A group of us were going to Indianapolis to support the minstrel from our fellowship who was ministering at a revival.

The winds BEcame boisterous; literally moving the 15-passenger van from one lane to the next.  Trucks were flying pass us [driving fast] like they were not even in the path of the wind; I saw two cars weaving in their lane.  However, not one, and I mean not one, other vehicle in front of us were swerving from lane to lane.  I watched Prophet Kenner as he gripped the wheel to control the van; and he’d occasionally take a hand off the wheel to stretch and move his fingers about.   I said to him something like this, “If you relax and go with the flow it will BE easier for you.”  Then the Holy Spirit began to speak to me.  It was at precisely 6:20pm – 6:25pm when these words came forth:

“Rock with the flow of my breath, for so shall the power of your blessings BE.  You will be running over with blesses.  It will appear to overwhelm you, but just rock with it; they are yours.  And even when my breath breathes lightly, the flow is yet carrying you.  Relax and Rock With Me.  I got this!  And because you abide in me you can handle this, the power of my blessings.”

When we got to the service I thoroughly washed my hands and anointed them with oil.  I then anointed the prophet’s hands for I knew they [his hands] had warred [fought] well to hold on during the storm.  I also knew that in his holding on, the Holy Spirit was his help in that his hands didn’t “slip from the wheel.”   SELAH!  After I anointed his hands, my hands started to itch.  I knew at that moment that there was an energy transfer, a new energy flowing, and I needed to BE conscious of the atmosphere.   I know that I have healing hands, but I’ve never experienced that before.  I wholly believe that this energy transfer was directly related to the flow of energy that was already passing through the wind of YAH.  ALLELUIA!

The breath of YAH was thrusting a strong blessing over us at the same time that the wind in the air was exhaling over the highway.  Just as we have to “grip the wheel” to stay in control of the vehicle in tempestuous weather, we have to likewise “grip the Word” of YAH to stay in control of His blessings given to us.  Many times people abuse the blessings of the LORD when they let go of or abandon His Word; when they “slip from the wheel.”

I encourage you all to set your anchor and grip the blessings of the LORD that are soaring over and around you.  Don’t abandon your position; instead, relax and rock with the flow of His wind.

Shalom!

Good morning good people…

On Sunday, February 26, 2012, while worshiping, Prophet Kenner told the people to “give God His yes” and we did according to the instructions.  The response of the Holy Spirit to me was this, “Your WELL WILL never run dry!”  After prayer on last night, Monday, February 27, 2012 my well was freely flowing and before I got home and to work this morning it was yet streaming.

I went to see a client, not expecting or asking for a payment on the services I’m providing, but they reached in their pocket and paid me with all they had.  I didn’t hold on to it either, but I cheerfully sowed into good ground with  1/2 of it.  Then, this morning as I was on my way to work, I was praying and thinking about Josh’s trip to DC in May.  I was planning out in my head to pay the other 1/2 of the balance ($332.50) on March 15th.

Back in December 2011, I remember sharing how the school had paid for 1/2 of his fees with a scholarship, and then a lady from NC had sent me a certified check for $400, which covered more than 1/2 of the balance.   Well, between then and now I hadn’t paid the balance.  When I got to work this morning, I had a message to call the school principal.   She told me that they had given a scholarship to a student who made some “not so good choices,” and those choices forfeited his scholarship.  The student had been working with his father to earn his 1/2  of the trip fees; but because of his behavior, the parents told the student that he had to pay for another students trip with the money he worked for and earned.

Well, the school, again, chose Josh.   The father had brought the money in and my Josh was given another scholarship with 1/2 the money that somebody else worked for.  His trip is now “paid in full.”  

I am “wholly persuaded” that Psalm 84:11-12 is full of life; LET us LET it live in us.  I am “fully persuaded” that Psalm 34:9-11 is alive; LET us fear the LORD.  I am “utterly persuaded” that Luke 6:38 is absolute; LET us BE-come the Word of God!  

I am “sum total persuaded” that “your WELL WILL never run dry!”  Alleluia!

Shalom with great love and joy~

After my Jordan shoveled the entryway and sidewalk, I went outside to start my car and watch my lads get on the bus.  When the bus arrived at 7:03am, I remember saying, “Oh, the bus is a minute late today.  Everybody is late at some time or another.”  After the bus left, I saw a car pull up to the bus stop.  A few more lads got out, stood there, and waited for the bus to come back around to its starting point.  They had missed the bus when it came the FIRST TIME.  SELAH!

Then, I heard, “GET IN POSITION!  Even though you missed it the FIRST TIME, if you would just get in position, stand there, where you are supposed to BE, it will come back to you and you will BE ready and waiting for it.”  What is IT?  Whatever you missed the FIRST TIME when you were not standing in position.

I looked at the clock again (I have this thing with time), and it was 7:08am.  It took FIVE MINUTES, a big ole’ FIVE MINUTES, just a dash of grace for the bus to return.  That is not a long period of time to STAND and WAIT!  SELAH!  Again, I say, GET IN POSITION!  Stand there and wait for it!  Don’t BEcome wishy-washy and shilly-shally.  BE still and patiently wait for it!  I guarantee you, it will come back around and it will not take a long period of time.

This morning, as I was receiving therapy, I thought about how I will be in constant [regular, steady, continuous, devoted, unbroken, perpetual] therapy for the next 4-6 weeks; realigning my body from an accident I had on February 4, 2012. 

Some 20 years ago, I had fallen down a flight of stairs at Big Momma’s house.  I remember taking a cooler up the stairs, not realizing that it was dripping water.  So, when I was going down the stairs, I slipped on the first step and slid all the way down the stairs on my butt-bone.  Over the years, I’ve had stints of immobility; and even with that, I was able to bear two more children and remain physically healthy.  This accident, although mild in impact, affected me wholly from head to feet.  However, it was refreshing to get up and go back work.  Albeit I am sore, with bouts of dull pain and sharp tingles, I am doing much better than last week. 

While driving and meditating, embracing the morning dew and the fresh wind, I looked into the sky before me and saw the horizon.  Then, these words entered my soul:  “RISE UP to the horizon; the place where earth [you] meet the sky [heaven].  Great things are awaiting you.  You are closer than what you appear to BE – keep moving forward.  Yes, moving TOWARDS, not PARALLEL to, the horizon.  There is where “your will BE done on earth as it is in heaven” blessings are; at the horizon.”  

As I paused and smiled in agreement, I heard, “Constant Praise Therapy!  It will get you there!”  Where is there?  Again, there is where “your will BE done on earth as it is in heaven” blessings are; at the horizon.”  Constant [regular, steady, continuous, devoted, unbroken, perpetual] Praise Therapy will get you to the horizon.”

This is what I dreamt today, February 10, 2012, concerning Refreshing Springs COGIC, Pastor A. Wendell Brown, Jr.

I was in a temple and people were coming in from prison, and needed to get things done like applying for jobs, getting picture ID’s to cash checks, finding out about child support they owe, getting medical insurance paper work completed, contact list of family members, and other resources.  They were almost fighting to get in line to get all they needed in order, in order to be successful outside of the wires.  One caucasian man sat behind me because he was afraid that if he left he would miss something.

Then, some people started singing around the sacred instruments and had a tape recorder to play the song so that the minstrel could find the right key on the organ.  And, well, they just couldn’t get it right as a skilled Levite.  When they did get somewhat where they were trying to go, I was singing in my seat and a lady turned around and said, “You go to this church?”  I said, “No, ma’am, I fellowship at Refreshing Springs COGIC.”  She tapped the lady in front of her and said, “Girl, she don’t go here.  She goes to that Refreshing Springs church!”  The lady she tapped face lit up and she said, “OH MY GOD!  That is the place to BE!”  Then she passed some change to the lady in front of me and said, “Give this to her.  It’s all I have, but that place is the place to BE!”

What she gave me was about 12 coins, no quarters and no nickles; only pennies and dimes (which means pledges and tithes).  SELAH!

I wholly BElieve, no doubt, that people are going to start giving Refreshing Springs their pledges and tithes.  We will enter their dwelling place and they will inquire of “Who are you?”  And they will give.  Thus, we will BE able to take care of the congregants IN the house and accommodate those who are transitioning back into society.  And we ALL will BE productive citizens because of “The Springs”; the poor and needy amongst us will not BE forsaken.  SELAH!

LET the scriptures come to life according to Isaiah 41:17-18 (KJV) “When the POOR and NEEDY SEEK, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD WILL HEAR them, I the God of Israel WILL NOT forsake them.  I WILL OPEN RIVERS in HIGH places, and FOUNTAINS in the midst of the VALLEYS: I WILL MAKE the wilderness a POOL of water, and the dry land SPRINGS of water.

WAIT FOR IT!  IT IS ON THE WAY!  ALLELUIA!

On October 5, 2009, I sent an email to Prophet Kenner, Pastor Brown and Lady Brown and title of the email was “A Spiritual Goshen.”

Goshen:  a fertile region of ancient Egypt, east of the Nile delta; granted to Jacob and his descendants [the Israelites] by the King of Egypt and inhabited by them until the Exodus (Genesis 45:10); Egyptian fertile land; salvation for Jacob’s [the seed of Abraham’s] family. [O.T.: Genesis 46:28].

I am confident that El Berith [YAH of the Covenant] is establishing us, His people, in “A SPIRITUAL GOSHEN” [a fertile land that is salvation for us, the seed of Abraham, right here in Kokomo, IN].  It is a place of safety and provision for those who are obedient to His word and those who stay in the flow of His Spirit.  Our part is to maintain honesty and integrity, as well as to remain good stewards of what we’ve been given.  He will continue to pour out His mercy, favor and grace, and He will continue to give us wisdom and direct our steps.  LET US go forth in the power of His blessings.  ALLELUIA!  In the name of the Adonai I pray, Amen!  Psalms 27:13 ~ I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

On October 16, 2009, Prophet Bobby L. Dawson came and declared Prophet Kenner to BE The Prophet of Goshen; A SPIRITUAL GOSHEN that I spoke of just 11 days earlier.  He uttered accurately, “I’m gonna have to go study this I am not familiar with it, but God has just now over powered you to be the Prophet, here, in Goshen.  Goshen.  I got to study this ‘cause I don’t quite have the revelation; I have to leave here tonight and go study it.  I do know that Goshen was the wealthy place.”

I recall telling Prophet Kenner that when he was sitting on the floor, his face was lit with a golden like glow; one that I’ve not seen on him before.  Then, when he raised to his feet again the Word of the LORD through Prophet Dawson said, “…God is going to take you to the Mountain Timnah…” and this was after he had got back on his feet.  Well, the valley of Timnah is 35 square miles with high mountains on all sides except in the East.  Mount Timnah in the center rises above the surrounding valley and is a place where “COPPER” was mined during biblical periods, making it the oldest known copper mines in the world.  When I looked up copper, it was the exact color I saw about his face.

Starting at the 08:00 mark. 

The man of God had the opportunity to KILL the enemy

But he DROPPED his weapon; fooling around in the building

Doing a whole lot of negotiating and had no power

The building filled with people dancing and hollering

Yet the enemy STILL prowling

In a high place for every eye TO SEE him.

The barricades had been removed by BIG STRONG MEN in WARRIOR GARMENTS

And people were still trying to get in

They told us to flee BUT you stayed

Because they were now serving up some ice cream

NOW, I done got myself in a situation

Because I came back to get you…

YOU STAYED too long and didn’t even get to eat!  Selah!

On the move, people begin to yield

To the enemy’s thrill

And they headed up the stairs to his hide-a-way

We left the building searching for a place to hide

One man told us to come in a house

But there wasn’t enough room for us to abide.

Wandering about, stranded vehicles and darkness everywhere

Here they are, only a few lights on, and they are not the ones

Trying to help us

I TOLD YOU keep walking, me, you and these babies

And a hand full of YOUNG LADIES

Gathering up three more children that were left behind

No men, women, or seasoned mothers to be found.

Crying and praying, “Lord, please let my momma be safe!

Lord, please let my momma be safe!

My own life was not guaranteed

Then he comes; ONLY ONE!

You think he is your friend

Because of how handsome he is

And the color of his skin

But he comes to you with a plunger in his RIGHT hand.

You’re getting excited saying, “Here comes help!”

I tell you to keep walking, don’t be talking

Because he IS NOT here to HELP YOU!

I was working hard to get him off me

With A SON in each arm

Here comes the plunge, to take the breath I breathe

And NOT ONE OF YOU turned back to rescue me

Like I rescued you” (Smith, Angela M. 2010).
