Letters from Annette

 A few days ago, I picked up my cell phone from the charger and the battery was almost dead. What a revolting development after charging all night! I immediately thought, “Oh no, my phone is going bad or I will have to have the battery replaced.” As I prayed in the Spirit getting ready for my day, my attention was drawn to the charging wire.

We may think that our source of supply is our job — our paycheck. Or, you may think it is your social security check, unemployment check, disability check or other state government or US government programs. But guess what? Those are limited supplies. Our jobs, businesses or government checks are not our true source of supply.

   I am excited to share with you this month, both an old revelation and a new revelation about the name above every name.  At least it is new to me and has impacted my life powerfully.    We know about Jesus and if we have accepted Him as Lord, He dwells in us, but do we really have faith in His Name?  Have we even thought about it that way?

Whenever I re-read my book “Quantum Faith,” I realize just how much this revelation has affected my entire existence. I see things differently than I did before.  Instead of looking at the outward physical world, I tend to see the spiritual energy patterns behind what is manifesting.  Everything in the “seen” realm is influenced and even created by the “unseen” realm.

We have all had plenty of opportunities in the past 12 months to enter into thoughts of anxiety and fear. I trust you have had the boldness and courage to REFUSE those opportunities and turn to the promises of God instead! Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.”

You are the one who determines the success or failure of the new year. You have no control over the world’s system, the weather, the economy or the choices of other people, but you DO have control over what happens in your life, the course it takes and most importantly — the words you speak that create your world.

My grandmother always read the “Christmas Story” to us before we could open our gifts. I remember waiting to hear the part where the angel said, “You shall call His Name Jesus.” Something about that stirred my spirit even as a small child. This season I have been meditating on Isaiah 9:6 “... and his name shall be called WONDERFUL, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

We are living in a distinct period of time in the history of the church age. It is near its conclusion. We are about to enter into a new era – a new dispensation and the transition is uncomfortable for many people. We don’t really like change, but it is happening and although we don’t know the exact day of His appearing, the return of Jesus Christ and His rule on earth is nearer than it has ever been.

 Given the freedom of choice, most people choose to believe what suits them or their particular worldview based on their culture or family beliefs. Having been raised in a full gospel church in a small southern town (England, Arkansas) with Christian parents, my worldview was disrupted when at the age of 19, I went to Dallas, Texas and experienced speeding traffic on immensely wide freeways that curved around everywhere.

What do you do when circumstances contradict the Word of the Lord? Paul said in Ephesians 6:13, “...and having done all, to stand.” When you have done everything you know to do, take your stand...and just stand there.

This morning in prayer the Lord spoke the word “discomfit” to my spirit. I am speaking this word today regarding the enemy. Psalm 18:14 "He shot His arrows and scattered the foes. He hurled (to multiply ten thousand times) lightning and discomfited them."
