September 2023

Dear Family and Friends,

 

         Greetings in the Name of our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ.  On September 15 the New Year according to God’s calendar begins.  I can sense the excitement from heaven as we enter the Glory Days, the days of the Former and Latter rain of the Spirit of the Living God.  The days that will be remembered throughout eternity.  You and I were chosen to not just watch, but to participate in the Kingdom moving here on earth.  This is amazing to me!  That Jesus hand-picked and equipped us to do great exploits for His Glory!  I believe what Jerry Savelle said.  The Glory is going to get so thick it will lift the church right up on out of here to Heaven.  

         Ephesians 1:11 (TPT) says, “Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as His own inheritance.  Before we were even born, He gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in His heart.”  God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

         My heart is so deeply invested into encouraging and empowering believers in this time.  I have been teaching from the Book of Romans chapter 8.  It has blessed me so much because for half my life I thought the Bible was a history book.  I had no idea that I was here on purpose for a purpose.  And to make it even more awesome I have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit to not only guide me through my life, but also to empower me to do great things for the Kingdom.  

         The first thing Paul tells us in Romans 8:1 is that the enemy has no place to bring condemnation on us any longer.  Our sins past, present, and future are gone, forgotten, never to be remembered by Father God again.  This is so important for us to confidently move out into our destiny without worrying about our imperfections keeping God from using us.  Remember He doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.  That means that it is all of Him doing it.  He will use our testimonies, our personalities, and other things about us, but ultimately, we are revealing Jesus to a hurting and dying world by His power!  This is so important to remember because in this last hour He is going to ask us to do things that will intimidate us if we don’t believe this and operate in it. 

         Romans 8:14-15 (TPT) says, “The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. And you did not receive the spirit of religious duty, leading you back into the fear of never being good enough.  But you have received the Spirit of full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as He rises within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, Abba Father!”  We are the only ones that can keep us from our destiny.  Staying out of condemnation and allowing the Power of the Holy Spirit access to us, to lead us and guide us into all that Jesus and Father have prepared for us to do, is the way to our destiny.  Making sure that our carnal thinking or our flesh isn’t leading us the opposite direction.  

         I pray for each of you, that the voice of the Holy Spirit will become louder and clearer in the days ahead.  I pray that you see the real you, your spirit man, that has been born again, is perfect, holy, and righteous in His sight. And I pray that your spirit, led by the Holy Spirit achieves everything that has been prepared for you!  In Jesus Name, Amen!

         You are loved,

         Dr. Debra Bennett
