“Reaching The High Calling In Christ Jesus”

Today I am standing in front of the huge cliff face of El Capitan, located in the middle of Yosemite Valley. I can right now see specks of two men, and two other specks, which are two tents hanging on the sheer face of this massive cliff. These climbers are in such a precarious position, that every move they make is a life and death decision. So it is in the Christian walk. When you are seeking the high calling in Christ Jesus, every thought and intent of your heart is a life and death move.

Today I am standing in front of the huge cliff face of El Capitan, located in the middle of Yosemite Valley.

These climbers are in such a precarious position, that every move they make is a life and death decision. So it is in the Christian walk. When you are seeking the high calling in Christ Jesus, every thought and intent of your heart is a life and death move.
But this precarious moment in life only happens at harvest time, and we are in the middle of one of the greatest harvests in planet earth’s history. It is the time when Jesus said He will send forth His angels to gather the tares from among the wheat, and cast the tares into the lake of fire. He will also gather His good wheat and place it into His barns. We have seen this activity occurring daily in the public’s eye. Some people have fallen, and others are being promoted to new levels of rulership that America never thought possible. This is your time for extreme prosperity so you must be vigilant and watch how you think ~ and how you even intend to think.
Guide your thoughts and make sure that they align with the word of God that has been spoken over your life. It is only His word that is going to guide you to an expected end and ensure success. Just like the extreme rock climbers that I’m admiring, every move and every thought is critical to your success in Christ Jesus.

If You’re Faithful In Little

When I was just 11 years old I was filled the Holy Spirit, and I promised God that I would be honest with His people when I grew up. I would share the private things leaders go through to people, so it would be beneficial to their personal walk with God. My childhood reason behind this decision, was because I had seen many religious leaders in my mother’s house that were different in their private life than they were in public. Now that I have reached the age of maturity, especially in my relationship with God, I found out that God is even more concerned about this very same aspect of personal integrity than I was as a child.
This now behooves me to share with you a very personal experience I had with God. On Thursday the Lord called me to pray on the top of Mount Hamilton. On my way down the mountain, out of the blue the Lord spoke to me to purchase a car mounting device for my iPhone. I responded in my mind, “But I already have one!” Yet in obedience I went to a nearby auto parts store and purchased a new one for about $14. Since I already owned one of these devices, I thought maybe it was getting old and worn out and God wanted me to have a new one to replace it if something happened. I placed the new device in my bag and left my old device on the window of my “prayer pod.”
The next day I was meeting with the prophet Timothy Snodgrass in Santa Maria. As we were driving back to the hotel from eating out together, he happened to mention that he needed a device for his window. I realized it was the exact device I had just bought at the auto parts store! When we arrived at the hotel I reached over to my window and took down my old device and gave it to him. He then started walking happily towards his car. With an almost imperceivable quiet nudge, I heard the Lord speak in the quiet recesses of my heart, “Are you sure you want to give him the old device?” Suddenly the Scripture came to my memory, “If you are faithful in little, then I will make you ruler over much.”
By this time Brother Timothy was almost to his car so I knew I had to move quickly. I called out to him but he could not hear me, so I ran like a maniac to my car. Quickly I jumped into my prayer pod and began scrambling to find the new device that was out of its box. It seemed like the more I tried to search for it the more I couldn’t find it, and I knew Timothy was about to drive away. I began to pray, “Lord, slow him down, slow him down. Do not let him drive away with my old device! Lord, he must have the new one. I have been evil God, so please have mercy on me and let him stop now!” I know this sounds crazy to some of you but I’m being honest with you in what I was going through. I finally found the new device, hopped out of the car and ran down the parking lot.
And there he was~stopped right there~almost as if in the Spirit he was waiting for me. He rolled down his window and said, “Hi! What’s up!” I just reached forward, grabbed the old device, and gave him the new one ~ with no explanation. Not until he reads this blog will he know what happened last night. But now I feel wonderful because I fulfilled what I promised God I would do when I was 11 years old. I would share with you how desperate I am to be the same person in private that you see publicly. I love you so much!
(Little things matter. Esau sold his birthright for just a small bowl of soup, probably worth less than five dollars. But his act determined that Jacob, Esau’s brother, received the nation of Israel in his lineage. Esau is forgotten and all that remains is the empty rock city called Petra, in the desert of Jordan.)o

A Unanimous Election

By Richard Gazowsky
 
We are just few short days from Tuesday’s Presidential election. Nearly five months ago the Lord gave me a vision while I was in intercession on Mount Hamilton, and I saw the words appearing before me: “unanimous election”. At first I did not know what it meant. But after a time of prayer and careful contemplation, I realized that the Lord was giving me a message for this upcoming historic election.
 
The Lord did not tell me what party was going to win or who the person was, just that it would be a unanimous election. As I went through months of intercession and prayer, I began to see that the position I should probably take was, “Not my will but Thy will be done.” I also realized that I had to believe this in my heart, and that it could not just be an intellectual or verbal opinion. It needed to be the thoughts and intents of my innermost being. I truly wanted the will of God ~ whatever that will was.
 
As the Spirit of God began to take me through layers and layers of my personal feelings, I began to ignore statements the news media said about candidates, and the opinions of friends and family. I just listened to what the Lord had impressed upon me ~ and that was truly a deep feeling. Through this process I was brought close to God’s presence and I began to see things that I had not seen before, about people in leadership and the way they think. 
 
Then the Lord led my family to travel on a train across the United States. We did not know where we were going, or what cities we would stop at. We followed exactly where the Spirit led us. Then something shocking happened in the city of Chicago. We met a young mother who as working at a very beautiful hotel. She told us her young son had just been murdered on the streets of Chicago. As a matter-of-fact, that night 14 young men were killed just blocks from where we had been sleeping.
 
My intercession began to deepen and I heard the heart of God and as I listened to the blood over 3,000 people shooting victims this year, crying from the streets of Chicago. In their cries I could hear the hearts of all the mothers. Suddenly I realized that that was a spirit of lawlessness in America that God was angry at ~ which heaven was prepared to avenge! The next few weeks God began to send our family on special appointments (things that will probably remain secret till the day I die, because what they involved should never be mentioned).
 
The battle is not over yet, as heaven needs to cleanse every layer of government, church, business ~ and other operations not only in America but around the world ~ until His righteousness reigns. Remember, this is not something that you and I do by any action on our part. Instead, we rest in God and let heaven harvest the wheat.

All Is Well!

By Pastor Richard Gazowsky

There were times during World War II that the soldiers saw the victory before it was actually completed, but they were not allowed to write home to their families and tell them what they saw lest it cause complications in the victory. So it is with my family and I. We have seen so many things in the Spirit ~ concerning the election, and future of our nation and world we live in ~ that are so wonderful! The demise of the power of Satan is being accomplished. But as it was with the soldiers of World War II, my family and I cannot share the things that we have experienced and seen, at least not until the battle is complete.

Keep praying every day and fasting, as there is just a few more days to go until the election. But I must tell you that have I already seen that the battle is won. We will have our prayer request answered, a “unanimous election.” And it is all to the glory of God! We have not done one thing that is worthy, or even an attachment to the great mercy and the benevolent love He’s had upon America.

I have learned so much about the workings of the spiritual world, especially in high places, and I can’t wait to share it with you. But that will have to be at a later time, for right now there is still much work to be prayed over ~ with the selection of the new President’s cabinet, and that God helps him appoint a godly group. We received a warning that Satan will try to place a fly in the apothecary’s ointment.

My daughter dreamed that this “fly” will be known by his red-faced anger, and that he must be removed. We know how bad corruption has been in the past. We must pray for purity of leadership in the future ~ and this goes for the government, the church, the business world, the school system, and the family. God, give us purity.

The best way to accomplish all this is to obey the words of the prophet Timothy, who told us to be goofy, silly, happy, and sing songs of rejoicing ~ realizing that the joy of the Lord is our strength. God told me to begin praying for our future blessings, that they are released. I am giggling and so happy to see God’s wonderful blessings, as they begin to flow down from heaven to each one of you. Remember, it is all from Him. Nothing is because of us.

For They That Be With Us Are More Than They That Be With Them

I write this blog at a time when things could not be more serious for our country. We are surrounded constantly by negative messages, so it is important for you to block the world’s messages out ~ and listen to the still small voice of God that spoke to you at the beginning of this current situation.

The whole tactic behind satan’s kingdom is to overwhelm you with messages so it is impossible for you to see the truth. The main focus of the attack is the word of God that was given to you. Go back to that word and rehearse daily every moment in your mind ~ and then laugh at the devil’s tactics. As Prophet Timothy Snodgrass said, “It’s time to be ‘goofy.’”

Of course you can only do this if your eyes are open and you can see that the hills around about you are filled with God’s holy angelic army ~ “For they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” This is what the prophet Elijah said to his servant, and his eyes were opened and he saw on the hills the armies of God. This is the action God requires of us every day, to believe that there are more with us than there is with the enemy. Jesus said these words in MATTHEW 6:34, “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.”

These words are so critical to all of us because each day God is watching and listening to the thoughts and intents of your heart ~ wanting to know if they are stayed on Him because His love for you is never failing. Remember what I said the last time I spoke to the church ~ this test will determine the promotions you receive over the next 30 to 40 years of your life! I love you! Stay faithful so you can rise high!

“The Rock”

By Pastor Richard Gazowsky

“Then Jesus said, ‘Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’”
In this verse of Scripture you can see that the Lord is releasing an incredible amount of power to His people. But you must realize, to come to the place of this great power release you must many times appear to be incredibly weak and vulnerable ~ totally trusting His power alone.
Remember that the Lord said, “Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways.’” So what is the way of God?  David faced the huge giant Goliath with just a little sling and five smooth stones ~ impossible odds. The world’s most sophisticated army pursued Moses, with hundreds of thousands of slaves at the edge of the Red Sea. They were literal killing machines, only held back by the phenomenon of a pillar of fire ~ but ready to crush the slaves the moment they could. Or is it the Lord Jesus Himself, hanging naked on a cross for the sins of the entire world? In each situation we learn the ways of God. His ways are not our ways.
We were, as a church, commanded by the Lord to fast and pray for America until November eighth, Election Day. God told me through the Prophet Timothy, “Do not pray about your own situation, but instead pray for America and God’s concern for the world.” If we pray about the Lord’s concerns, He will take care of ours. Remember, you’ve got to know His ways.
It might be difficult and you need to dress appropriately, but we will continue to have church at every scheduled service at 1970 Ocean Ave (in the church, or in front of the church). Whatever, it’s going to be very enjoyable! This week we have the Holy Spirit App Store on Sunday at 11am, Sunday Worship at noon, Prophetic Service Monday with Prophet Vello Vaim at 6pm, Laughing with God Tuesday night at 7pm, Thursday and Friday prayer meetings from 8-9pm, and Lumination youth service at 6pm, held there right on schedule. Check your email for schedule updates!
When Jesus was crucified, for a moment the church with scattered. But as Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church.” God builds the church this way, not for the purpose of making you feel comfortable, but for the purpose of giving you a firm spiritual foundation that will last for many generations. So make sure you take part in everything that God is doing with “A Place To Meet Jesus.” Your children should also take part in this as it will give them a firm foundation on the Rock!
You were all there that Sunday morning when Timothy Snodgrass prophesied that my family and I should focus on praying for America. We are being exactly obedient to that word, and invite you to join us as we pray every day on periscope. Make sure that you and your family are also obedient to the word of God.

“Then Jesus Said: ‘Go In Your Bank And Drink A Cup Of Water.’”

The Lord gave me a dream last night in which I was to tell all of you to do a simple prophetic act. But first let me explain. A prophetic act refers to a simple action that God asks you to do in obedience, and then heaven will respond by fulfilling God’s promised action. For example, Jesus told the blind man to wash his eyes in the pool of Salome and his eyes were then healed. God spoke to Moses to put his rod in the Red Sea, and then the Red Sea parted for Israel to walk across. The Bible is full of stories where God gives simple basic instructions. When you are obedient to what He tells you to do, then God fulfills His promise to you.

Now about my dream… I walked into a bank and asked the person at the desk to transfer some money into an account. I waited while the person did the necessary actions on the computer screen, and then left the bank expecting the transfer to be made. But then I realized that nothing had happened. Soon I found myself back in the bank (it was a bank I’m very familiar with). But now the employees were all from the neighborhood, people that I knew, and many of them worked at the nearby Starbucks ~ not at the bank. They were all sitting around their desks having lunch and were totally enthralled with their own conversation and eating.

I realized if I was going to get their attention I was going to have to show them that I was serious about what I needed. So I spoke to one of the young men, that I knew had had a miracle occur in his life, and said, “I need your help as this money needs to be transferred.” He then looked at another lady who was busy eating a sandwich, who’d also had a real miracle when her uncle was healed of cancer. When he finally got her attention and she saw me, she realized that she had been ignoring me, even though this incredible miracle had happened in her life through my ministry.

She said, “Oh, Pastor Richard, I am sorry. Let me help you.” At this point in the dream all the workers that were sitting around the table gave me their undivided attention, and said, “How can we help you?” I must make a note here that none of these people actually worked at the bank, but I knew there was a symbolic significance because every one of them were connected to me by some miraculous happening that had occurred in their personal lives that no one would’ve known about.

At this time the whole group of employees came to a revelation that the reason the transfer had not been made was because a certain person, who was the original teller, had used “unscripted text.” I then asked the group, “How do we fix this?” Everyone just looked questioningly at each other because none of them knew the answer. I was going to ask the question again, when suddenly the Lord spoke and said, “Just go into the bank and drink a cup of water.” Immediately I felt myself coming out of a deep slumber and the Lord was instructing me, “Beware of confusion. Just do the simple act and do not allow satan to question the act in any way ~ what kind of water, what kind of container, which day ~ nor question the timing of the act.”

When I fully woke up, the Lord reminded me of the dream that the Lord had given my daughter Rocki Starr. If you remember, I shared with you the details in a previous blog. In essence what she saw in the dream was that those who were in prayer rooms to save America must pray “milk” prayers. But then she saw a prophetic act of drinking a cup of water (which at the time we didn’t know what this meant). But then yesterday, as we were traveling across the Arizona desert, she had this vision:
The floors of heaven were transparent, the bottom of the huge feet of the Lord could be seen through the floors. I was then taken above the transparent ground where I floated a little above eye level with God’s feet, which looked like gold. From the many folds of His golden robes poured out both gold and golden coins, which fell to the ground as He walked slowly. God then made the transparent ground in heaven transition to let the gold pass through and fall down to earth. I saw someone praying on earth for great wealth to be released. When the Lord looked down to earth, He told the angels to gather His robes. Two angels flew around the Lord’s towering hem and gathered it together closely to God’s ankles so that no gold could fall to earth ~ for it was not time for the wealth to come. The person continued to pray in faith. When the person was not looking for it and least expecting it, the Lord commanded the angels, “Release My garments.” Gold fell from heaven and overtook the praying person with more wealth than they were expecting or even knew what to do with.

God is ready to release financial blessings to every one of you. Heaven knows this and will fulfill His promise to you by your simple prophetic act of obedience of “going into your bank and drinking a cup of water.”

“The Critical Mass Of God’s Divine Synergy”

In the history of mankind there was a moment where God needed to stop human synergy when it was happening on earth. This was when men said they would build the Tower of Babel. The ancient record in Genesis states, “And the Lord said, ‘Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.’ So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”
You can see by this ancient narrative that there is much power in the synergy of agreement. Moses declared this mathematical truth of the power of agreement when he said, “How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?” I have personally witnessed the power of this divine multiplication, have seen it’s supernatural power, and have witnessed it released in ways that are beyond human reasoning.
But the prophet of God, Timothy Snodgrass, expressed the key to it when he said, “You must be in the right place at the right time.” Right now the earth is in a moment of critical mass, when things could go very dark apocalyptically, or it could be the dawning of the brightest most wonderful day we’ve ever experienced! The key hidden factor in this equation is the secret prayer in the synergy of the saints of God. In the Scriptures we are told that just ten righteous could save the entire city of Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course this did not happen and the city was lost ~ and became a dead sea that witnesses to all of us what happens when Divine Synergy is not applied to a desperate situation.
As we agree in prayer over the last 30 days of the United States election cycle, I believe we will see the wonder of a unanimous election occur in America. This could be the beginning of signs to our nation and to the world that the greatest revival, the harvest of the nations, is ready to occur. Join us in prayer in the application called Periscope, and follow “Richard Gazowsky” for daily prayer the last 30 days preceding our election.

“The Gold Mine Of Secret Prayers”

When Jesus said the words, He said something that was so profound that many times we ignore the elephant that is in the room. By this I am talking about when Jesus said, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward openly.”
Wow! What an incredible position this puts all of us into. Where, if we talk to God secretly, even about the most desperate situation ~ He answers our prayers openly. This is incredible because it actually happens! And I have seen the miracles occur daily in my own life. Wow! It’s like having a connection to an Internet that is linked to every answer that you could conceive. Then, instantaneously a FedEx man comes with your package to deliver the miracle. But of course the Fed Ex man is one of God’s heavenly host.
A realization of the power of secrets came to me just this week when I was praying. God reminded me of a prayer my family had been praying for, and we saw the phenomenal hand of God-answered prayers for months and months and months. Then one day I inadvertently publicly shared this prayer with my congregation. As soon as I shared the prayer, instantly the trouble started back up all over again. And this time it was much worse. For four months I thought in contemplation and asked myself, “What happened?”  This week God spoke to me and said, “I told you not to share this with anyone, and you broke heaven’s secrecy. That’s why the prayer is unanswered.”
It seems that there is a communication protocol between heaven and prayer warriors, and the protocol depends upon secrecy. What Jesus was teaching His disciples was the protocol of heaven’s power, that when you keep your prayers secret you empower heaven to answer your prayers unobstructed. You know how dangerous it is when a leader of a nation lets secrets go public. Since the enemy knows our plans, think how dangerous this is in the spiritual world. If you can just take a moment to think about it, do you keep your prayers secret? The amazing thing about secrecy is that you can also pray concerning that embarrassing situation that you don’t want to tell anyone about ~ and God will even fix that situation!
Next week I want to deal with the power of prayer in agreement.

“Don’t Listen To Emotions, Listen Only To God’s Word”

Almost daily I am attacked by emotions that are constantly in the bowels of my flesh, and these negative emotions wish to get into my heart, and of course come out of my mouth. Just yesterday I took time and explained this troubling situation to Gershom Sikaala. After a few minutes of contemplation while we were walking around the beautiful complex that he lives in, he placed his hand on my shoulder and said, “Don’t listen to emotions, only listen to God’s word.”
As soon as his words went through my spirit I suddenly felt a release of all the built up emotions that were trying to explode in my heart. We know that out of the heart can proceed a lot of ugly things. It is the heart that God tries. Look how God tried the heart of Moses when he was with the children of Israel in the wilderness. Moses was in a very vulnerable position after he had just buried his sister Miriam. Then the Word says, “And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. And the people chode with Moses.” The word choded means that they were complaining making arguments against God.
We know from the Scripture that this moment is a very defining moment in the life of Moses. I also personally realize that the moments I’m going through in my own life are very defining moments of my life. You may find yourself in the same position. So you see, that is the reason I am taking a very detailed look into the emotional response to activity that is occurring around a person that is in the perfect will of God.
 My brother-in-law reminded me recently of the importance of biology in the Scripture. In the book of Philemon the word “bowels” (which was used three times), in Greek the word refers to the body’s spleen. Normally the blood is filtered by the kidneys before it comes to the heart. But in cases of extreme stress the spleen can interject a high concentrate blood that heals the heart in case of an emergency. In Philemon’s case he was looking for clemency for a runaway slave who was in Paul’s care. But as you read the Scripture, Philemon was praying that his heart would not speak against the Lord because of the runaway slave’s predicament.
For Philemon said, “I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels.” What Philemon is revealing is how deep the wound would go into his heart if this slave was not treated correctly.
When Moses was facing the people, their complaints went deep into his heart because of the wound that he was experiencing, the loss of his sister Miriam. Apostle Paul explains why Moses failed in his task, “But the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” It comes back to the simple act of your spleen feeding blood to your heart. Is it based on God’s word or on your current situations?
This morning as I woke up, the present situations began to surround my mind and heart. They were like fiery darts of the enemy trying to stick to me, trying to catch fire in my thinking and reasoning. But by subduing them I suddenly remembered this truth that I just shared with you. At that point I began to do what Gershom Sikaala said and I rehearsed the word of God that had been spoken over me.
God told me through the Prophet Timothy, “Do not pray about your own situation, but instead pray for America and God’s concern for the world.” I also remembered that God had told me, “You know I am classy. I will take care everything so do absolutely nothing.” I then began to giggle and laugh because it is true God has taken care of every single detail at this point of my life, and everything is perfect. He is so classy. Wow!
