Our
aim
is to influence culture and establish Kingdom of Heaven
dominion as we preach, teach,
prophesy, and extend personal ministry. Spiritually,
our
work is the act of apostolic teaching.
We have recently expanded our mission ministries working
with others to build an apostolic
TEAM to
evangelize and establish a fellowship, an allotment of believers, on
Red Top Mountain
Georgia north of Atlanta. You are invited to
inquire about being a part of this dynamic move
of God.
Our 19 year old grandson was
recently murdered on Red Top Mountain.

Publication: Daily Tribune News, The (Cartersville, GA)
A Cartersville woman was arrested Sunday and charged with
murder following an alleged early
morning shooting. According to a Bartow County
Sheriff's Office press release, deputies around
12:50 a.m. were called to 6415 Glade Road, Acworth,
in reference to a shooting, and found a
19-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the
chest. Deputy coroner Brandon Duncan identified
the alleged victim as Lane Gann, Jr. of Acworth.
The Lord spoke to my spirit at his funeral that He would
bring resurrection life out of the death
and quickened my spirit to ask about availability of a
tent to erect on the mountain so that
the Light of Christ could be preached to dispel the entrenched kingdom of darkness.
God moved supernaturally and answered the inquiry 5 days
later.
We received a call from a minister who was at
the funeral reporting he had received an
unexpected call from evangelist Tom Hill. He
reported that the Lord had directed to erect
fall
evangelistic camp meetings on Glade Road which
transverses Red Top Mountain.
God moved on two brothers, owners of
a vacant lot at the intersection of Glade Road
and New Hope Road to allow the tent to be staked where Tent Camp Meetings have been
held
in years past. That’s Radical!
This is an
evangelistic spiritual
warfare offensive.
Our
advances, warfare intercession requests and victories
will be posted at the webpage,
Glory Tent of Meeting. Look for the Big Tent and click
on it...
We pray you will become a part of
this dynamic work of the
Holy Spirit both through prayer and
financial support. Note: Due to
inclement weather the tent has been dismantled until spring.
We continue to intercede for the ministry in the spirit
and pray for those who were drawn to the
meetings. Many experienced a conversion of life and
many a spiritual renewal to become
active in the work.
Let us review a Word
of the Lord which is
already recorded in the work
of our City of
Lights website:
"In the fullness of the Spirit and
anointed with the chrismatic gifts of the Spirit, God's 21st
century apostolic army shall Go Forth and
demonstrate by great signs and exploits that God
is still God! They will dispel the
forces of darkness out of the minds and out of the hearts of the
devil's captives. They will deliver God's
people from bondage by liberating them from seducing
and deceiving spirits of false doctrines,
traditions, all forms of religious errors, as well as fear,
hate, resentment, and spiritual pride and delusions.
All of these have kept the body of Christ
divided! This 21st century apostolic army is
commissioned and empowered to deliver the
oppressed.... break bondages of every yoke of
despair and set the captives free! They are
destined to reclaim cities and nations to fill the
earth with the glory of the Lord!"
Do you hear what the Spirit has said to the
Church? Are you willing to invest prayer, time,
actions and finances for the purposes herein
declared by the Holy Spirit? Are you willing to
be trained as one who enters the army to
become a
soldier? You can elect to be a part of this
awesome battalion wing of God's army... today!
Will you Take A stake
in thIS ministry!
Get Radical with Us!
Let's take Mountains!
Let's take God's Word to the lost and
Scattered!
Mark 11:23-24 AMP
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and
thrown into the sea and does
not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he
says will take place, it will be done for him.
24 For this
reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust
and be
confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get
it].
the act produces the Fact!
That's Radical!
The Lord has given
us a “kairos” season of great challenges in which to build our faith in
Him.
In other words, He has given us a window of opportunity to
travail and bring birth forth what
many would deem radical ministries.
The
suggestion is not that things we do are radical… really!
Radical
is based with ministries that prohibit the working of the manifest
presence of God
through the nine gifts of the Spirit... all of them!
Radical is to deny
the full functioning of the 5-fold
ministry.
Radical is to change what God gave as His plan for the
Church...
Much speaking is done without the power of the Holy
Spirit.
Surveys report
few of God's people submit themselves to discipleship.
Where there is training, it is
focused on ideas, methods, and natural talents.
The Lord demonstrated His plan for the
Church by pouring out the
Holy Ghost. God is looking
for a people who will seek empowerment by baptism in the
Holy Spirit. He continues to confirm
His Word during every move of God that releases revivial
and reformation, yet multitudes choose
not to enter into His glory.
People can be trained to speak well and equipped with many
methodologies.
But, God wants them to seek Him to be anointed by the Holy
Spirit to do the works of God.
Mark 16:15-18
AMP
And He said to them, Go
into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news
(the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].
16 He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the
Gospel and Him Whom
it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of
eternal death]; but he who does
not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel
and Him Whom it sets
forth] will be condemned.
17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My
name they will drive out
demons; they will speak in new languages;
18 They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything
deadly, it will not hurt them;
they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.
For those who are
hungry and thirsty for the deeper things of God follow me into this
issue
of the Prophetic Voice Newsletter. You will not be
disappointed nor will you
experience a
ministry of condemnation. We will share the love of
Christ and His pattern for the Church.
And
that’s Radical!
His design for the Church is set forth in the foundation
of His ministry.
You know… things like being filled with the Holy Spirit
with signs, wonders and miracles
following as quoted in Mark 16:15-18 above.
The Bible says that these acts are assigned to
believers:
Believers shall experience
signs, wonders and miracles working in their midst!
Now that's radical!
Don’t you think it is important to seek the Scriptures to learn what we
are to believe so that
we walk in the authority of the spiritual gifts being
manifest through us because the Holy Spirit
abides in us? I do not ask this question in a
legalistic or religious manner.
It is asked in the context, “What does the Bible
demonstrate a believer to be?”
There are many washed out, diluted answers that are being taught in the
systems of the
church…
Those
of you who have been with Heart of God Ministries know that we dig deep
for the Light of Truth, Life and Spirit of Christ by the
Word of
God and the gifts of the Spirit.
We alre to minister with boldness standing on the Word of God, rightly divided.
2 Timothy 1: 7 NKJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and
of a sound mind.
Consider this: "The "larger" Church has lost
the
Gospel of the Kingdom message!"
Can we show evidence of this statement? Now,
consider the following:
Through the resurrection, ascension and enthronment,
thereafter, the Holy Spirit was poured
out upon those who were instructed to wait upon the
Promise. They were filled with Him and
empowered for the apostolic mission the Lord had
commissioned. Peter, spokesman of the
twelve the Apostles of the Lamb proclaimed the promise of
Joel declaring the same was for all.
Acts 2:39 AMP
For the promise
[of the Holy Spirit] is to and for you and your children, and to and
for all
that are far away, [even] to and for as many as the
Lord our God invites and bids
to come to
Himself. [Isa 57:19; Joel 2:32.] Now that's radical!
Paul deals with the veil that covers the minds of those who have not
received of the endued
power of the Holy Spirit. God's endued power is
received through the "baptism of the Holy
Ghost." The sign
of the Baptism is the speaking in
tongues. (Did the scripture of Jesus
speaking in Mark 16:17 as quoted above just declare this
as a sign
of a believer?)
Mark 16:17 NKJV
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will
cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
OOP’s!
Do not leave me yet!
No one should be offended by
that which has just been written for it is very plainly written
in the
New Testament of the Bible. Check out your bible
and see if it is plainly written in it!
Today, God is reforming and restoring His Holy Nation, Zion,
Spiritual Israel, the Church,
to succeed in its mission to conquer the kingdom of
darkness and disciple the nations of the
world. We are charged by the Lord to revive the work
of God and to restore the foundations
of the kingdom of Light laid by our King and His 1st
century Apostolic Teams so that the nations
will come to the Light of the Church's Glory.
We are to have a witness of apostolic power in our lives
as a testimomy of His marvelous Light.
As the Church walks with apostolic power baptized and
filled with the Holy Ghost, the nations
shall come to the Light of the Church's rising and
the Glory of the Lord shall fill the earth as the
waters cover the seas. (ref: Isaiah 60:3 &
Habakkuk 2:14) That’s
radical!
Let me share with you the most radical thing that one will ever
encounter on this planet.
It is DEATH! Adam and Eve experienced it in both
spiritual and physical realities.
They left us with the mark of SIN...
Adamic Sin.. Separation from God!
Death was a final mark... a
radical change... that is why Jesus Christ went to the Cross...
He cancelled the Old Covenant and became the New Covenant!
He gave
Life out of Death!
All mankind from the giving of the Law of Moses to the
Crucifixion of Christ was marked with
eternal death... separation from God. The Lord Jesus
cancelled the sting. He paid the
price once and for all for each of our redemption!
"To cash
in" (to redeem the grace gift of salvation), one need only obey the
sovereign
rule of God Almighty... scripture commands we Kiss the
Son! To Kiss the Son is to make
peace with God. There is only one way to eternal life...
salvation through Father God's only
begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
Psalm 2:12 AMP
Kiss the Son [pay homage to Him in purity], lest He be angry and you
perish in the way, for soon
shall His wrath be kindled. O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be
envied) are all those who seek
refuge and put their trust in Him!
John 3:16-21 AMP
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even]
gave up His only begotten
(unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies
on) Him shall not perish
(come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to
reject, to condemn, to pass
sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be
made safe and sound
through Him.
Note: Did you fully understand what the Holy Spirit scripted
through Apostle John?
The Lord
Jesus wants the
world inhabitants (all mankind) to find salvation and
be reconciled...
restored
to right standing and
peace with God
the Father through
the work of the Cross and
receive eternal life.
18 He who believes in
Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who
trusts
in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no
condemnation--he incurs
no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust
in Him) is judged already
[he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence]
because he has not
believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[He is condemned for
refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]
Note:
Works of the Spirit are
varied of which we will learn more deeply as we study:
1. Conversion of man's spirit from the control and dominion of
darkness
into the guiding marvelous Light of Jesus
Christ. (New Birth)
2. the Gifts of the
Spirit (Holy Ghost),
3. the manifestation of the Spiritual Gifts,
4. the awesome effects of the Holy Ghost's presence and touch.
Note:
Christ's Name
His
Name is above all Names... and all
power in heaven and earth are His.
The grace and
spiritual power of the Name of Jesus
represents all of Who He is!
God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus
whom you crucified.” (Acts 2;36)
As Lord and Christ…God’s Anointed King, Jesus
is presently exercising all authority,
rights and privileges of deity and is therefore
ruling and judging nations today
as King of kings and Lord of lords!
There is no postponement of His universal
Kingship!
John 14:14
[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in
My Name
[as presenting all that I AM].
• In His Name
is Salvation!
• In His Name is forgiveness of sin!
• In His Name is healing and deliverance from every oppression of evil-
in spirit, soul and body!
• In His Name the Spirit is being manifest in Presence upon all flesh
in order that He might
fill all things and bring forth the “New Creation!”
• In His name the full blessings of Abraham and the sure mercies of
David are coming upon those
who call upon Him in faith!
• In His Name the nations are presently being brought under His
righteous rule and governmental
discipline.
Father
God has declared that
every knee shall bow to the Glory that
is sealed in the Name of Jesus!
Salvation is a command of God! It is
the grace
gift
of eternal life!
19 The [basis of the]
judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for
the
sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people
have loved the darkness
rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.
[Isa 5:20.]
20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not
come out into the Light
but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his
conduct) be exposed and
reproved.
21 But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into
the Light; so that his works
may be plainly shown to be what they are--wrought with God [divinely
prompted, done with God's
help, in dependence upon Him].
Note:
What an awesome loving God! God has given us the MINISTRY of
LIGHT!
May you always be a
gift of Light to others in Christ!
All are invited to
Come to the Light!
Rev
22:17
AMP
The
[Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say,
Come!
And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone
come who
is thirsty [who is painfully
conscious of his need of those things by
which the soul is refreshed, supported,
and strengthened]; and whoever
[earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate,
and
drink the water of Life without cost. [Isa 55:1.]
Jesus Christ died for the
SINS of mankind (original adamic sins... disobedience, pride, lying,
omission, deception). Each who come to the Father
through the Son are washed "as white
as snow" and are reconciled to the Father… that is
spiritual language for being
reinstated to right relationship with the Living God of
all heavens and creation.
The first Adam is dead with his imputed sins and
separation from God! The second Adam,
Christ is eternally alive, the first born of the New
Creation... We become the New Creation,
the Church of Christ, His Body as parts and members as we
are added to the Heavenly
Assembly!
Hebrews
12:22-23 AMP
But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living
God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal
gathering,
23 And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as
citizens] in heaven,
and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of
the righteous (the redeemed in heaven)
who have been made perfect,
Does creation seem a bit
radical to you? There are two realms... the physical and the
spiritual!
Romans
8:2-4 AMP
For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law
of our new being] has freed
me from the law of sin and of death.
3 For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being
weakened by the flesh
[the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His
own Son in the guise of sinful
flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the
flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived
it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], [Lev 7:37.]
Note:
Jesus, as Son of Man was sacrificed as a flesh offering to atone for
SIN.
The ATONEMENT... Why?
4 So that the righteous and just
requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and
move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our
lives governed not by the
standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by
the Holy Spirit].
We are to live by
the dictates of the Holy Spirit... not by our fleshly minds.
The regenerated spirit of
our mind is the "control center" for the Holy Spirit given to Him by
our own will.
Romans 8:5-7
AMP
5 For those who are according to the
flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their
minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but
those who are according to the
Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds
on and seek those things
which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.
Note:
The following is the element of DEATH to which I referenced as we began
our letter.
It is attributed to each person: the appointment of Death. This
appointment is applicable
both to the
physical and the spiritual realms.
6 Now
the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy
Spirit] is death [death
that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both
here and hereafter]. But the mind of the
[Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and
forever].
That's radical! To believe in the
Name of Jesus Christ... passes all understanding and frees us
from the sting of death. We are set free from death
and given eternal life!
7[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and
purposes] is hostile to God,
for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it
cannot.
No wonder the evil forces in the
habitation of earth and the 2nd heaven are bent on stealing,
destroying and killing. You did know that is the plan of evil doers, demons and the devil,
right?
That’s radical!
In creation, God spoke and
the
thing He spoke became into being! What an awesome power!
Well,
when we are in right standing with God having received His Son,
believing upon the works
that He did and exercising obedience to the Word of God
walking
in Love, we are called by God:
New Creation! That’s
radical!
2 Cor 5:16-19 NKJV
Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even
though we have known
Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no
longer.
Note:
NOW, we know Him in Spirit in Truth.
We have relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit by the transformation of our spirit
in the new birth when we repent, receive and believe upon the Name of
Jesus Christ...
which is the fullness of Christ Jesus... His
miraculous birth, His work, His Crucifixion, His death,
His burial, His decunt into hell, His resurrection, His
ascension, His eternal enthronement on the
promised seat of David and His release of the Holy Ghost
to empower the Church.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold,
all things have become new.
18 Now all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has
given us the ministry of
reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
Himself, not imputing their
trespasses
to them, and has committed to us the word of
reconciliation.
To know God is to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
John 4:24 KJV
God is a Spirit: and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(If you are agnostic you do not have a belief system
because
you do not know that there is a
Living God). You have a veil over your mind.
That’s radical!
The Bible says there
is a veil that keeps unbelievers from clearly seeing the Gospel.
Christ Jesus, Peter and Paul each preached the same
Gospel!
A large portion of the 21st century church has "kicked the
Spirit" out of the church and deemed
what the Lord Jesus and the apostles taught as radical...
thereby justifying and making up their
own order of rules and regulations as to the dictates of
the flesh demand. Now,
that's radical!
2 Cor 4:3-7 AMP
But even if our
Gospel (the glad tidings) also be hidden (obscured and covered up with
a veil
that hinders the knowledge of God), it is hidden [only] to
those who are perishing and obscured
[only] to those who are spiritually dying and veiled
[only] to those who are lost.
4 For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that
they should not discern the
truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light
of the Gospel of the glory of Christ
(the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.
Note: There is
a veil or covering over the minds of unbelievers (agnostics) that keeps
them
from clearly seeing the Light of the Gospel. It is important that
you know...
•They don't see the Gospel because
they can't see it.
•They don't understand the Gospel
because they can't understand it.
•They must have an unveiling... a
full revelation of Jesus Christ.
5 For what we preach is
not ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves [merely]
as your servants (slaves) for Jesus' sake.
6 For God Who
said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as
[to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the
knowledge of the majesty and glory of God
[as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the
face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
7 However, we
possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in
[frail, human]
vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding
greatness of the power may be shown to be
from God and not from ourselves.
Get Radical with Us!
Let's take Mountains!
Let's take God's Word to the lost and
Scattered!
[Obtain Casar Castellanos D.
book "The Revelation of the Cross" for a comprehensive
presentation of an encounter with Christ.]
www.g12bookstore.com
The following details the
5-part pattern
to which a salvation encounter establishes us in the
service to God's King, Jesus Christ, and Lordship.
1.
"...to open their eyes..." (Acts 26:18a).
You will receive Vision ... We know that without vision people
loose their direction.
Our spiritual eyes must be
opened.
You must first receive a vision of the
crucified Christ and
understand what the crucifixion means to convert to Christianity. When you understand
the Cross, in its true revelation, you are able to
understand the calling.
2.
"...to turn them from darkness to light..." (Acts 26:18b)
You
will experience a genuine conversion... Your conversion must be from the heart,
soul
and spirit. Israel
because their conversation was just from their lips and not from their
heart
were rejected by God. John the Baptist told
those who came to him for
baptism, "...bear
fruits
worthy of repentance..." (Matt.
3;8)
Our
conversion from the powers of darkness and self-centered lives into the
Light of Life
of
Jesus Christ, demands a change of belief and
lifestyle. That's Radical!
Acts
26:18 AMP
18 To open their eyes that they may
turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan
to God, so that they may thus
receive forgiveness and
release from their sins and a place and
portion among those who are consecrated and
purified by faith in
Me.
All
things become new in Him as we live to serve and build relationship
with Him.
3.
"...and from the power of Satan to God..." (Acts 28:18c)
You
will know that you have been freed from Satan's control to the
Lordship of Jesus.
You are no longer a slave to Satan and
the demonic world. In Jesus you have been rescued
from
the enemy's control over your life. The success of a
victorious life depends upon
our relationship with the Lord as we commune with
the Holy Spirit.
To convert to the Light of Christ is to live
totally in love with Him.
4.
"...so that they may receive forgiveness of sins..."
You will
know that through faith in Jesus, you receive forgiveness of sins.
These
sins are actions resulting from the lust of the eye, the lust of the
flesh and the pride
of life. (extensive and
unrestrained desires).
Satan
has strategies to enslave people with guilt, and shame, causing them to
believe that
their sins
have not been forgiven. This is how he retains
control of their lives.
But, Jesus took them upon His
beaten and crucified body
receiving the punishment we
deserved.
Note: The
Sin of unbelief
is
rebellion to the Will of God,
it is the "Adamic Sin of
disobedience."
We confess our disobedience and rebellion as we whole-heartedly repent
and
acknowledge
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and yield our lives to His Lordship to
enter
the Kingdom of
God.
Why? It is the Divine Will of God.
Adamic Sin is
not the
same as the "sins" of the
"lust of the eye," the
"lust of the flesh"
and "the
pride
of life." Never-the-less, sin is sin. We
must turn form them.
Jesus took the sins
of the world upon
His
beaten and crucified body to make us free
from the Law of Sin and Death. He gave us a new culture in which
to live Life more
abundantly. Father God forgives us of our sins when we are
cover by the Blood of
Jesus. The
Blood of the Son of God cleanses us in Father God's eyes.
1
John 1:9-10 KJV
If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word
is not in us.
5.
"...an inheritance among those who are sanctified..."
You
will know your privilege in God. Conversion separates us to a
life serving God and we
receive an
inheritance of abundant life in righteousness, peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost
while on earth. We inherit
continual eternal life with
God as we depart
life on earth
through death of the body.
Paul said, "He who did not spare His own
Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
how
shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
(Romans 8:32)

May you always be a
gift of Light to others in Christ!
