We have an upcoming gathering that will take place in Beaumont Texas, in July.  As I was working on some things regarding this "Convocation", the Lord began to deal with me to explain it.  Why were we doing this, what was the purpose?  In the past, we had seen various denominational meetings called convocations, but in reality, they were denominational conventions.  So, what did the Lord want?

He took me to Scripture and began to break down the essence of the Convocation that HE was calling.  I submit that information to you in this writing.

The Vision Of

“The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012”

Convocation Dates - July 8-14, 2012 in Beaumont Texas

Habakkuk 2:2-3

At the beginning of the year of 2011, when the Lord began to deal with me regarding this upcoming Convocation, I must admit, I thought of a convocation as many others have had them. They were, in part, church services, part musical showcases, part vacation. It was simply a time to get everybody together that was part of your group, or just wanted to “have church”. As time went on, the Lord brought me to a place of realizing He wanted to do much more.

As I write this to you, I ask you to prayerfully consider and ask the Lord if He will allow you to “catch this vision” and “run” with it, along with myself and others.

During the last few weeks and days, the Lord took me to the Scriptures that mentioned “convocation”. First of all, the word “convocation” means a calling together, a sacred assembly, something called out. So, during this time: The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering. He is planning on doing a work in those who will answer and show up.

In Exodus 12:16, the Word says that “no manner of work shall be done”. The revelation that the Lord gave to me was that we are not to do “business as usual”. We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. Don't expect the “same old same old”. The Word goes on to say, “every man must eat”. The concentration and the only work allowed is to eat, I believe, of the spiritual food. We can eat the regular food too. But, the Convocation is about being fed spiritually.

When we look at Leviticus 23:27, it says, “ye shall afflict your souls”...”an offering made by fire”. This tells us that we should come before Him humbly and bowed down (in worship), to the place where our soulish nature is brought under subjection and offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).

Numbers 29:1 tells us it is “ a day of blowing of the trumpets”. The Hebrew word that is used means, alarm, signal, shout, blast of war, alarm of joy, battle cry, blast for march. This Convocation is a time to celebrate the joy of the Lord, sound the alarm, declare war, give the battle cry and deliver marching orders.But, according to verse 12, we have a feast. It is a time to celebrate the Lord.

Therefore, here is the Vision of “The Word Of HIS Power...Convocation 2012...

• The Lord is calling us out and together for a sacred gathering.

• His plan is to do a work in all those who will answer the call of gathering.

• We cannot approach this as the “same old church service”. We must expect His “new”!

• We must eat of the spiritual food.

• Come before Him humbly, place our soulish nature under subjection, offer ourselves as a sacrifice unto the Lord (Romans 12:1).

• Celebrate the joy of the Lord; Sound The Alarm; Declare War; Hear The Battle Cry; Receive Marching Orders.

• Celebrate the Lord.

Will you “catch” the Vision and join me and “run” with me July 8-14, 2012, in Beaumont Texas?

I just recently heard a testimony of a guy on the radio, who said that

he had been in hospital, and had been in a coma, for some time.

GOD brought him out! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Lol.

This is what I do!

We are looking for you.  The PRAISE Experience is traveling to your city and would love to have you be a part of PRAISE 2012 "Moving In the Spirit".

Contact us at: keespiritllc@yahoo.com if interested.

Always have the Yes I can! mentality and the Yes I will! drive.

Now you fill in the blanks...

I received a word from the Lord today that said:

"The enemy is going to attack the children this week. Parents should be very diligent in watching over their children. Pray over them before they leave the house, pray that the veil of deception will be removed and they will be able to see the truth, and discern the environment they are in. Be sure of where they are going, who they are with, and the times they are supposed to be home."

Please heed the word of the Lord.

It is written, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus". Well lets examine that for a moment. What was the mind of Christ?

Was it to party and have fun all the time? Was it to see how many women he could bed before he turned thirty? Maybe his mind was to get all the money he could, thinking only of his self and to hell with what anyone else needs? I speak as a fool: Perhaps his mind was to fight with the disciples about who is the greatest, or argue about positions and titles, then become all arrogant when the title is obtained: not being able to be called by his first name, or not answering those who called him until they called him Christ. Maybe Jesus was busy looking for different careers, fame, and fortune. I wonder if he used his platform to become famous in the eyes of man.

There have been many things written about our Lord and savior, but I have never read, or seen this kind of mind in Jesus. Jesus had one mind, one faith, and one baptism meaning his only focus was to do the work the father gave him and to finish that work. He was humble, meek, and lowly; terms that would make most men feel like punks today, but Jesus was anything but. He stayed with his assignment through being ridiculed, persecuted, slapped, punched, spat upon, lied to, tempted, whipped and beaten within an inch of his life, rejected by his own people, and finally hanged on a cross to die for our sins saying: "It is finished". He didn't start his new assignment until he had finished the first one: He came as redeemer, and left as savior and king.

This brings us to the so called "church" the body of believers who say they are Christians (Christ like) and have the mind of Christ. If you will now say: "I don't think I have the mind of Christ, or I never said I had the mind of Christ" then you are wasting precious time and energy, because you can't fulfill the assignment of Christ without his mind being within you. He whose spirit dwells inside of you, if you have the Holy Ghost, of whom it is written: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth (the Holy Ghost), is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come" (John 16:13).

We the blood washed people of God who are supposed to represent Jesus Christ in the same manner in which he represented himself, have not truly represented him. We who are arrogant over titles and can't be called by the name our parents gave us without pastor, apostle, prophet, or minister being placed before our names. We who fight and spar over positions within the four walls of a building instead of attending to the true war in the kingdom. We don't finish one assignment before we are off starting another one; many times without the Lord. Jesus had one assignment, one mission, one purpose, and here we think that we can split our focus between 5 different ministries. This is not what Jesus meant when he said: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father".

We are unforgiving, prideful, selfish, self-willed, liars, adulterers, murderers (if you hate your neighbor you are a murderer), lacking of faith, destitute of truth, and distasteful in the Lord's nostrils. We don't want to hear the truth though we are born of the truth, and we house the spirit of truth. We have said as it were: "...Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits". We would rather continue in our folly, than to adhere to the true word of God; this Jesus did not do. We spend our time stroking our egos while seeking others to do the same.

We lie before the Lord saying: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me". We quote this scripture with such vigor, yet when it comes to the practice of if we fall short. To be crucified with Christ means that I am dead in Christ, but many of us are not dead. We have our own mind, thoughts, dreams, gifts, and hopes which we use to benefit ourselves and not the purpose of God. Even the gifts given by God we use to promote ourselves to cause our own names to be called, or become great. It is written: "A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men", it does not say that man shall make room for his own gift. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

The Lord Jesus never promoted himself, but he promoted the father in word and deed for he did only those things he had seen with his father. He spoke only those words which would magnify the Father, and would bring glory to his Father. Therefore, out of the confidence he had with the father he could say who he was while promoting the father. He even told us to pray to the father in my name. In other words, don't pray to me, pray to the father and he will give you the desires of your heart in my name. Yet we want people to come to us, depend on us for prayer, and we make ourselves a mediator between God and man.

We think that we are so ready to see Jesus yet because of the way we have represented him, there is no fear of God in the body of Christ, or the world. We have no fear in sacrificing our salvation for a quick moment of lust, anger, or hatred and for these we would use scripture to attempt to justify our actions, which scripture has no justification for!

We have embraced the dead thing, the accursed thing in order to draw in the world, and we have removed the spirit; the Holy Ghost from our presence and have replaced him with entertainment. Do you think Jesus will justify you for this? No dead thing has ever resurrected a dead thing. Jesus drew the world, but not by the world's stuff, but by the spirit of God for it is written: "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee" (Jer. 31:3). Also: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:44). We can not hope to draw the world by incorporating the world's music, dance, or anything that is the word's for what is of the world is of the devil, and is death.

Blood washed believers, It is past time that we allow the mind of Christ to be in us, and choose again the things of God. Without the mind of Christ it is impossible for us to fulfill the assignment and commandments of God the Father. Without the mind of Christ we are doomed to continue the works of destruction. Without the mind of Christ we are simply doomed.

Please heed the words of the Lord, deny yourself pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Renounce all the hidden things of dishonesty. Put off promoting your self, and get back to promoting the Lord Jesus. Die in Christ that he might live in you. Love your enemies, do good to those who mistreat you and despitefully use you. If one hits you on the one cheek turn to him the other. Being reviled (to speak abusively), revile not again. Suffer yourselves to be defrauded. Suffer the loss of all things. Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Let this mind which was also in Christ Jesus, BE IN YOU!

At Whitney Houston’s funeral, Actor Kevin Costner said at “The Bodyguard” audition, she didn’t feel that she was good enough and/or pretty enough to get the part. He said because of her insecurity regarding her looks that she went in the back and put on more make-up and that it smeared down her face because of the hot lights.

And since her death, some people have been talking about how could such a talented, beautiful woman be insecure about who she was?

I remember Valentine’s Day in elementary school where my classmates and I would bring a card for every student. Prior to that day, daddy would go to the local drug store and get a pack of whatever character that was popular for me to write everyone’s name on it.

And I would wait with anticipation for the boy who I had a crush on to give me mines with either an extra special note on it or a heart. :>) If he did, my friends and I would giggle all day long as we shared our cards with each other.

Well, now I am grown and I still love Valentine’s Day. Whether I am in a relationship or not, I share my love with those who are close to me that day and every day.

But the premise behind Valentine’s Day is that couples celebrate their love toward one another.

I am a poet at heart and whenever I am inspired by either a life situation or something that I see or hear, I write. Last year, I wrote a poem, “Our Love Expressed Between You and Me,” as a tribute to the love that I saw between the late Reginald Sanders and his wife, Minister Dawn Sanders.

When I heard that Reginald passed, June 9, 2011, I responded to Minister Dawn with an e-mail. And as I was sitting at my computer typing my condolences, I was inspired to write that poem.

Therefore, I wanted to share it with you as a reminder this Valentine season that if you love someone, they should know it by the way you show it. :>) Happy Valentine’s Day!

Our Love Expressed Between You and Me

By Phenola Moore

Our Love expressed between you and me so vividly for others to see.

Wonderful memories so strong that will last throughout eternity.

Holding hands, caressing, glances from across the room.

Precious and joyous times. Oh, I can never tell it all.

Only a few years, getting to know you and you me.

But I wouldn’t trade our time together because loving you set me emotionally free.

Loving God and each other brought us such ecstasy.

And that’s what will sustain me until I reach eternity.

Our love expressed between you and me.

We are so wrapped up in “church”.  We go to church, we have church, we had church, but we never become the “Church”.  We raise our kids in “church”, but not in God.  We make sure the “church” is clean, swept, and garnish yet we don’t put the same effort in making sure our true “temples” are clean, swept, and garnished by the Holy Ghost.

We cringe when someone put their finger prints on our fine brass around the pulpit, but we don’t cringe when we are using profanity, for it is what comes out of the man that defiles him.

We are sure to make sure that the sanctuary is clean and free of debris, but we are not sure to clean the debris of sexual impurities, perversions, and fornication that line the walls of our “Temples” (bodies) which houses the Holy Ghost.

We make sure the bathrooms of our “church” are clean and free of smells, and dirt.  We make sure we can see ourselves through the mirrors, and the sink is spotless.  Yet, we allow the Holy Ghost to move and walk in our bodies with filth all around in side of us.  We make a Holy God move inside of our filthy minds without being cognitive of the fact he is constantly living with us, and needs a holy environment in which to live.

Women allow men who are not their husbands to enter their temples (have sex with them), so full of lust that they forget they are “The Temples of a Living, Holy God”.  The Holy Ghost does not take a vacation from living inside of you, he is constantly there beholding your order.  He is there when you are engaging in sin.  He is there when you allow men to touch something so valuable.  You don’t make sure they are worthy to touch the “Temple of God” they are eying, lusting after, and craving sexually.  It is time we put more stock in the true “Temple of God”.

We need to take the same care of our living “Temples” as we take of the physical building that we call the “church” for it is we who house the Spirit of God

We are the tabernacle in the wilderness and as the priest carried the Ark and was required to be holy and clean, so must we be holy and clean while we carry the same spirit that raised Jesus from the grave within us.  There should be a great fear for someone to touch our “Temples” and they are not clean, or they are approaching us inappropriately. We should carry ourselves in such a way that causes God to want to protect us from the uncleanliness of men (universal), as he killed the man for touching the Ark of the Covenant which housed the Spirit of God.

The physical building we worship in is not the house of God.  God does not live there when we go home, for God does not live in temples made with hands, but has created himself a body in which to live; your body.  Walk and live as if you have a living God living inside of you.
