NO SECRET SERVANTS
__________________
We often put too much value on what other people think of us. We fear that we might lose our position or lose favor from others. We can see this in Jesus’ day as He ministered in Israel. It is mentioned in John 12:42 where it says, “Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on Him. But because of [the judgment of the] Pharisees they did not [openly] confess Him, lest they be put out of the synagogue [excommunicated].”
They secretly believed on Jesus but verse 43 says, “For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” Their positions as rulers in the synagogue, perhaps in the Sanhedrin, were very important to them. It carried a lot of prestige. They did not wish to lose their lofty positions.
They did believe on Jesus but were ashamed [fearful] to let it be known publicly. There clearly were several like them, but we only know of two by name. One was Nicodemus, who came to Jesus at night [John 3} under the cover of darkness so as to avoid being seen with Jesus. The other was Joseph of Arimathaea who provided for Jesus burial and was assisted by Nicodemus.
Even today, I often encounter many who claim to be servants of God. Yet, they do not talk of Jesus publicly. They do not go to church on any regularity nor associate or congregate with other believers. Yet, they claim salvation and they may pray in private, and might even read the bible.
Jesus said that if we were ashamed to take a stand as one of His, so also would He be ashamed to affirm us to His Father at judgment. So, “let the redeemed of the Lord say so” that we may be rewarded in heaven.
God is not looking for a those that just serve him secretly. He desires that we be a witness and praise and glorify His name to the world around us.

A DOUBLE PORTION
___________________
So, you would like God to bless you with a double portion, right? That would be wonderful to receive but let us look at an example of who received a double and how it came about.
In 1 Kings 19 we see the prophet Elijah running from the wicked Queen Jezebel. He thinks he is the only prophet left that is prophesying truth. God speaks to him in a still small voice while he was having a pity party and was hiding in a cave. God tells him there were seven thousand more prophets that had not bowed their knees to Ba’al. Then he tells him that he will be replaced by Elisha.
He finds Elisha tending to his oxen and casts his mantle on him. This is indicative of a transfer of anointing. Elisha was caught off guard when this happened and asked to take care of his mother and father before following the renown prophet Elijah. Elijah is quite miffed with him and more or less tells him to go do “his thing” and leaves him.
Most of us would have felt this as rejection from such a man as Elijah, but Elisha offered his oxen as a sacrifice and shared it with the people. This means he destroyed any means of living that he had previously had. Then he went after Elijah and ministered to him. The word minister means he became Elijah’s servant. How long he was his servant is unclear, but it was for quite a while. During this time Elijah tried to shake loose of him, but Elisha would not have it. He followed closely to him because he knew Elijah was anointed by God. He learned from him everything there was to learn about being a prophet.
Then, when it was time for Elijah to be taken to heaven in a fiery chariot Elisha asked for a double portion of anointing from him. That seems a bit much, right? But Elijah told him if his mantle fell on him that he would receive. And that is just exactly what happened. Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s anointing and did twice as many miracles as Elijah.
We could look at Joshua also. He was Moses’ servant and went everywhere with him and stayed close to him. It took 40 years of labor and constant physical attacks from others, but he was then chosen by God to take the children into the promised land.
So, do you want a double portion? Be prepared to give up everything to follow closely after those that have already paid the price for the anointing. Do not expect it to happen overnight. There is a time of training, or discipling just like there was for Elisha and Joshua. The price for the double portion? Everything. We must lay it all down to follow after those that have forged the path before us. Then we must patiently wait, and wait, and wait, until God sees our heart has become a servant’s heart and pure. Double portions do not come to those with selfish ambition. Double portions come to those that have a servant’s heart, but even then, it comes through fiery trials and tests to prove we will be ready to receive it when it is time.

TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."
2 Kings 2:9 KJVJV)

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERES
I would say unto you today that you have withstood the test of the fires that I have allowed in your life. There were many times that you have wanted to quit, but you remained faithful even when it looked like all hope was gone. You felt the pain and anguish of the heat, but it was necessary for you to go through this heat to come forth as strong as steel. For many have not gone through the test, and they have fallen by the wayside. They did not yield to the testing for they fought against me saith the Lord. All that are in me will suffer many afflictions, but I will deliver those that trust me and have faith in my word to come through the test stronger than when they went into the testing. For there is an army rising up of the faithful ones that stood when others fell. There is an army rising up of faithful soldiers ready to receive their marching orders. For my children, there is a war on the horizon that will bring many into a place of fear, but you will not fear for you know that the battle belongs to me, and not you. You have seen my might when you had no might. You have seen my love when no one was there to love. You have seen my power when you felt that you were powerless. You have learned where your strength comes from and have determined to endure to the end. In this hour that is upon you now there will be a great shaking of faith, but you will come through this shaking as you trust me. Just as a soldier must go through military booth camp to learn how to use his offensive weapons, so you also have been in training for what is to come. Think not that the testing is the war. It is not the war. There is a war coming that will be fiercer than ever, yet those that have submitted to my military training through the testing and the trials will be valiant in this war. They shall rise up in my power and be used of me to bring many out of darkness and into my kingdom. Yes, there is war ahead. There will be great fear for many, but those that trust me will not walk in fear. They know the source of their strength is in me. Do not be surprised when the enemy attacks on your own land, for it will happen. It will come just as it did on that fateful day in 9/11. Many were caught off guard, but those that walked with me were prepared. So, my child, do not be surprised when this happens. Judgment must take place, but I will redeem my own from destruction. I will raise my banner up and there will be no lack of victory for those that trust me. I will be with those that trust me, but the fainthearted will fail the test. This is not the time for lack of faith. This is the time to stand firm and declare the word over yourself and over your family, for the battle shall be intense. Spend much time with me in my presence to hear your assignment for Satan will put traps before you. Do not listen to his lies or fall into his traps. The faithful ones will go forth and do great exploits, armed in my armor as champions saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
3-3-2024
We know from reading God’s Word that the field Ruth worked in; He already had intended for her to own. However, in order for God’s plan to be done in Ruth’s life…He first had to get her out in the field to WORK. Why you might ask? Well, it could only be then that Ruth would meet the owner Boaz and eventually marry him. We read this account in the Bible, in chapters 3-4 of Ruth. It was there Ruth first had to get experience and know what it was like to WORK in the field; BEFORE she could be an OWNER and be chauffeured around in Boaz’s chariot limousine. Bottom line...You, like Ruth must also go THROUGH the PROCESS before you can get to your PROMISE. We all know that takes much prayer, working, waiting, fasting, serving, having a teachable spirit and being humble. Yes, God is ready and now He is trying to get you ready…So just hold on. It’s a fact, even though people had shoved Ruth all the way to the back in a corner of the field; But God brought her on UP to the front. Remember what’s IMPOSSIBLE with man; Is very POSSIBLE with our God. (Luke 18:27)

Friday Thought For Today
I prayed to the Lord and said; We don’t know how You are going to achieve that which You have said; but what we do know and believe is that You are going to complete every word that You have spoken. So today let Your fire fall on those who have a willing heart to seek You like never before. Allow the winds of change to blow through and stir us as You lead us into our new assignments. Open doors of opportunity and favor in Jesus name. Hallelujah!!!
”And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV

Tithe! HCC
Give your tithes with love,
A hundred-fold will come back to you.
But remember you give with love,
With a tender heart. That’s what you must do.
God loves a cheerful giver.
He loves the hand that helps.
Help those that are less fortunate.
Give your tithe, your 10 percent,
And see them smile. See the hungry fed,
The sick healed, the lost found.
Your heart will cry with happiness.
And Jesus says,” Well done my faithful servant!”
