“Children obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. ‘Honor your father and mother.’ This is the first commandment with a promise. If you honor your father and mother, ‘things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” (Ephesians 6:1-3 NLT)
“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;for her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.” (Proverbs 3:13-16 (NKJV)
“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)
As I entered into 2018, the Lord gave me a personal “Reawakening.” At the age of 57, after many years of wandering through the wilderness of life, He resurrected the “call” (life assignment) that He gave me at the age of 8 (way back in the summer of 1969).
His gifts and calls are without repentance. He has not reversed my life assignment to teach the Word or revoked the “Ministry Gift” of “Teacher” that He deposited in me. He has not removed the communication skills or musical talents that he placed within me to guide the Body of Christ into Truth and lead in Praise and Worship.
In order to prepare for the use of these reawakened gifts and talents, it is time to get my body and mind back under control as I begin to focus on “complete fitness” (spirit, soul, and body).
On October 23rd 2019 at 1:30 a.m., while working as a third shift custodian at Resurrection Life Full Gospel Church in Grandville Michigan, the Spirit clearly spoke to my spirit. He instructed me to take out my phone and speak out what He was saying in order to record the following:
“On August 25th 2020 I am going to Kingdom-Naturally release you into a long-term Ministry. In the natural, you have a lineage that allows you to fully expect to live to be 90. I am adding My “Kingdom” to your “natural”. I will Kingdom-Naturally invert your age so that at 60 you will be 30.”
He continued, “I have given you the promise Eric. Now I am giving you the assignment. You are to work out your body daily. You are to do your part to make a 60 year old body 30 years old. You are to search the scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to find the passages, the verses, to run with. You are to find the verses, write them down, then memorize them. Verses of Life. Verses of longevity. Verses of Youth. Verses that will give you the Kingdom-Natural ability to walk this out.
You are my child Eric and I’m giving you Kingdom-Natural life to fulfill the call that I put in you. You will run and not grow weary, you will walk and not faint, you will fulfill every call and every promise that I’ve given you.”
As you are reading this, is there anything within you in need of a reawakening?
