COVENANT # 6
THE COVENANT OF FAITHFULNESS

Welcome To My World Kids
WTMWK
In preparation for this Covenant,
God sent me to a couple different places to view basketball hoops
As I would walk across the grounds of the church in the past few weeks
God would show me (in the Spirit) a single basketball hoop
on the land standing tall and straight
In the Spirit I could see children playing and enjoying their time
Each was given a ball and they would get in a single line and take a turn to shoot
It would continue to be their turn until they made a basket
and then the next child would begin
For even in failure there was always another chance until the skill was perfected
God also showed me hoops that were not so easy
At the fair, the hoop had been bent so that people could not easily score
and at a place of fun, the hoops were in all different positions
so that one could not truly perfect their shot and approach
but even as I saw these "deformed" hoops
God spoke to me that religion is like that
It requires that you shoot and shoot and shoot and yet,
the "set-up" itself is not right
Churches will make you shoot basket after basket
follow their rules and more rules and they're not even God's rules
but God is setting this place apart as a place of freedom
where everyone who chooses to ---
advances and the failures will only bring forth more determination to finish
Our God is forever faithful to the promises that He will make to you
and He will surely see you through each and every "basket"
until you can "shoot like a pro"
Come along, kids, for the journey for many begin this day
Even before you come to the land
Even before the building is ready
God will be preparing your hearts in the Spirit
Even if you never read these words
the work will be accomplished by the Spirit of the Almighty God
God is faithful to His people

AND HOW WILL I ORGANIZE
THE LAST OF THE THREE COVENANTS FOR THE CHILDREN?
THEY WILL COME IN GROUPS OF FIVE FOR EVEN WITH MY CHILDREN TO COME
THEIR ADVANCEMENT WILL BE BY GRACE AND GRACE, ALONE
THERE WILL BE SEVEN UNITS OF FIVE TO FINISH THE COVENANTS
SEVEN IS THE NUMBER OF VICTORY
AND I WILL SURELY HAVE THE VICTORY IN THIS PLACE
WITH MY PEOPLE
5 BRICKS WILL BE PRESENTED AND LAID AT ONCE, FOR YOU SEE
THE CHILDREN GROW AND ADVANCE AT A MUCH GREATER SPEED
FOR THEY HOLD NOT BACK THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS
THEY SEEK AND I ANSWER QUICKLY
THEY PURSUE ME AND I AM THERE IN THEIR MIDST
FOR THEIR HEARTS ARE PURE
WATCH THE CHILDREN IN THE SPIRIT
FOR THEY WILL PROSPER EVEN BEFORE THEY COME

# 61 BRICK
“THE LORD DID NOT SET HIS AFFECTION ON YOU AND CHOOSE YOU BECAUSE YOU
WERE MORE NUMEROUS THAN OTHER PEOPLES, FOR YOU WERE THE FEWEST
OF ALL PEOPLES.  BUT IT WAS BECAUSE THE LORD LOVED YOU AND KEPT THE OATH
HE SWORE TO YOUR FOREFATHERS THAT HE BROUGHT YOU OUT
WITH A MIGHTY HAND AND REDEEMED YOU FROM THE LAND OF SLAVERY,
FROM THE POWER OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT.  KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD
YOUR GOD IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD, KEEPING HIS COVENANT
OF LOVE TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM
AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.”
Deuteronomy 7:7-9

# 62 BRICK
"DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, IN MORTAL MEN, WHO CANNOT SAVE.
WHEN THEIR SPIRIT DEPARTS, THEY RETURN TO THE GROUND; ON THAT VERY DAY
THEIR PLANS COME TO NOTHING.
BLESSED IS HE WHOSE HELP IS THE GOD OF JACOB,
WHOSE HOPE IS IN THE LORD HIS GOD, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
THE SEA, AND EVERYTHING IN THEM --- THE LORD, WHO REMAINS FAITHFUL FOREVER."
Psalm 146: 3 - 6

I WILL SURELY RAISE UP A PEOPLE
THAT DO NOT RELY ON MAN FOR ANYTHING
THEY WILL BE EMPOWERED BY ME, ALONE
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE

# 63 BRICK
"THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS --- THE REDEEMER AND HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ---
TO HIM WHO WAS DESPISED AND ABHORRED BY THE NATION, TO THE SERVANT OF RULERS:
'KINGS WILL SEE YOU AND RISE UP, PRINCES WILL SEE AND BOW DOWN,
BECAUSE OF THE LORD, WHO IS FAITHFUL, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL,
WHO HAS CHOSEN YOU.'"
Isaiah 49:7

BECAUSE I AM FAITHFUL TO THE TASK
I WILL RAISE MY CHILDREN UP BEFORE KINGS AND PRINCES
TO RULE IN THIS WORLD

# 64 BRICK
"THIS IS WHAT THE LORD ALMIGHTY SAYS:
'I WILL SAVE MY PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTRIES OF THE EAST AND THE WEST.
I WILL BRING THEM BACK TO LIVE IN JERUSALEM; THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE,
AND I WILL BE FAITHFUL AND RIGHTEOUS TO THEM AS THEIR GOD.'"
Zechariah 8: 8

I WILL BRING MY CHILDREN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
TO RECEIVE ANOINTING ON THIS LAND
I WILL BRING THEM FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD
AND I WILL FAITHFULLY EMPOWER THOSE
WHO ARE MY OWN

# 65 BRICK
"MAY GOD HIMSELF, THE GOD OF PEACE, SANCTIFY YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH.
MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL AND HE WILL DO IT."
I Thessalonians 5: 24

I WILL BRING MY CHILDREN HERE
I WILL SANCTIFY THEM COMPLETELY
I WILL EMPOWER THEM
I WILL SEND THEM OUT
I AM FOREVER FAITHFUL TO THIS TASK

I took a little trip down to the park today to shoot baskets with a friend
Both of us were shooting shot after shot
when it began:
The friend shouted at a kid that rode their bike alongside the court
"Don't ride your bike here!"
I looked in amazement and then told the friend
that I had no problem with the kid riding their bike nearby . . .
then the friend began on me:
"Don't shoot when I'm shooting!"
"Don't pass the ball like that to me!"
"Tell me when you're going to do it that way!"
on and on and on . . .
So, I walked away to rest and get away from the NOISE
"Don't sit there and pout!" they yelled at me
I noticed a bunch of kids playing on a court nearby and walked over to watch
It was 12 - 15 kids ages 5 to 20 or so, playing hard and having a great time
I watched how they let the little ones have the ball
and cleared out so they could shoot
I heard their laughter as some of the kids would try trick plays
It was just a bunch of kids playing in harmony having a great time
They were accomplishing more than what 2 people could do on my court

I thought back to the many times in my life when all I heard was criticism
and I would just stop "playing the game" and walk away
I knew that there had to be other "games" out there where life was fun
and everyone worked together
I want the kids that come to the church to know
that this is surely a different "game"
I want them to have total freedom to explore their gifts
without criticism and judgment

When I used to work with the street kids
I would never speak to them of their smoking, drugs, language, etc.
I left that part up to God
My job was to love them and enjoy them and encourage them
I would come to the park with tennis rackets and balls
and within 5 minutes all the brand new balls would be out in the bushes
I would come with new hockey sticks and some would stand right in front of me
and break them in half
I would bring pop and they would puncture the cans
One kid even "mooned" me
but I stayed and now, 4 years later these kids still come to my house
and we have a friendship
Many of them stopped the drugs and the smoking
and changed many things in their lives
I was their "fun friend" and someone who would tell them
what God wanted to do with their lives
They get criticism everywhere else
I wanted to offer them what they couldn't get someplace else

God, I do ask You for a place for the kids to come and be loved
You be their Coach and remove all that will hinder their walk with You
May I be faithful to these kids to love them through everything
and may they reach their full potential in You
but may we do it through
GREAT FUN!

THE WORDS ARE SAID AND YOU SHRINK BACK AND LEAVE
THE WORDS ARE SAID AND YOUR HEART GIVES UP
THE WORDS ARE SAID AND YOU SAY, "THE HELL WITH IT"
(You hear everything, don't You?)
FOR I SENT YOU TO HAVE FUN
AND IT TURNED TO DRUDGERY
IT WAS JUST A LESSON BUT IT REMINDED YOU OF MANY THINGS:
YOUR YOUTH - YOUR MARRIAGE - YOUR CHURCH-LIFE
AND THE WORDS "HIT HOME" AND POISON THE SOUL
BUT IT WAS JUST A GAME
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF SPOILING THE GAME
WITH WORDS THAT HURT?
BECAUSE I HAD A PURPOSE IN IT ALL, CHILD
AND YOU DID NOT EXPERIENCE ALL THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IN LIFE
JUST TO HURT YOU
BUT SO THAT YOU KNOW HOW OTHERS FEEL
AND YOU CAN BE A TENDER GUARD FOR THE HEARTS OF THE KIDS
THAT I BRING TO YOU
YOU HARDENED YOUR HEART AS A CHILD TO BRUSH OFF THE WORDS
JUST AS OTHER CHILDREN DO
BUT I WANT YOU TO REACH OUT TO THESE HARDENED HEARTS
AND KNOW THAT WITHIN THEM IS A CHILD
THAT JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED AND CHERISHED
NOT CRITICIZED AND BELITTLED

MY CHURCH WILL BE LIKE A WELL-PLAYED GAME
AND I WILL BRING THE BEST PLAYERS
AND I WILL BRING SOME THAT ALWAYS STRUGGLE
BUT THEY WILL ALL BE MINE
AND I WANT YOU TO TAKE THEM WHERE THEY ARE AT
AND LOVE AND ENCOURAGE THEM

WHEN THE LITTLE BOY TRIED TO SHOOT A BASKET THIS AFTERNOON
THE LARGER KIDS WOULD BACK-OFF TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE
THAT'S WHAT I WANT
I WANT MY KIDS TO ALL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO ADVANCE WHERE THEY ARE
IT IS NOT HARD TO DO THAT
IT ONLY TAKES A GENTLE HEART

I'M SORRY I HAD TO PUT YOU THROUGH ALL THIS TODAY
BUT I HAD TO REMIND YOU HOW CRITICISM CAN AFFECT
THE HEART AND EMOTIONS
I HAVE HEALED YOU OF MANY OF THE SCARS UPON YOUR HEART
BUT YOU NEEDED TO REMEMBER HOW FAST THE HEART CLOSES OFF
IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH FOR YOU TO WALK AWAY
BUT THIS TIME YOU WALKED AWAY TO PRESERVE YOUR HEART
A LOT OF KIDS HAVE NO PLACE TO WALK AWAY TO
WHERE THEY ARE NOT CRITICIZED
AND THEIR HEARTS BECOME COLD AND HARD
WHEN YOU TAKE HOLD OF THEIR HANDS
I WILL SURELY OPEN THEIR HEARTS ANEW

LOVE THE KIDS
JUST LOVE THEM AS YOU DID WITH THE STREET KIDS
AND THEY WILL KEEP COMING BACK
I WILL CLEAN THEM UP
I WILL WORK ON THEIR SOULS AND THEIR BODIES
YOU ARE TO "MOTHER" THEM
AND KNOW THAT I WILL STAND AS THEIR FATHER AND COACH
I WILL

God instructed me to read this page again tonight
even though I try to write and let it go - not to be read again
Tonight when I went to this page
I laughed for some of the words had shrunk
I know that I checked it after I put it on, but tonight the type was much smaller
Of course, it was symbolic and when I was finished being so amused
God laid it on me:

AND DID I NOT SEND YOU TO THE LAND THIS NIGHT
WITH A DECLARATION AND A GLASS OF WATER?
I GAVE YOU A WORD FOR THIS NATION - THE CHILDREN
AND THE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO STOP THEM

THE WORDS BEFORE YOUR EYES WERE SMALL
JUST AS THE ADULTS OF THIS NATION VIEW THE CHILDREN
THEY TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE LITTLE INFLUENCE
AND CAN BE CONTROLLED SO VERY EASILY WITH A SIMPLE LAW
HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE AUTHORITIES
BUT AS YOU INCREASED THE SIZE OF THE LETTERS THIS NIGHT
I WILL INCREASE THE CHILDREN AND MY POWER WITHIN THEM
THEY WILL GROW AND GROW AND GROW
IN NUMBERS AND IN POWER AND IN INFLUENCE OVER THIS NATION
AND THEN THE WORLD
I ASKED YOU TO READ THE DECLARATION AT THE LAND
WHERE MANY OF THE KIDS WILL COME TO BE TRAINED AND COMMISSIONED
AND THEN I HAD YOU DRINK FROM THE GLASS
AND THEN POUR THE REMAINING WATER OUT
YOU WILL DRINK OF MY WORDS FROM MY BEING
FEED THE KIDS AND POUR THEM OUT UPON THE NATIONS

YOU ARE FORBIDDEN ONCE MORE
TO TAKE COMMUNION UNTIL ALL IS READY
I REFUSED YOU ADMISSION TO COMMUNION ON EARTH FOR A FEW YEARS
UNTIL THE REALITY OF YOUR CALLING WAS FULFILLED
AND NOW, ONCE AGAIN THERE IS A FOURTH CUP
THE CUP OF ACCEPTANCE
WHEN YOU ARE TRULY RECEIVED BY THE BODY OF CHRIST
THEN YOU MAY PARTAKE AGAIN
BUT FOR TONIGHT THE WATER REPRESENTED MY WORDS AND ANOINTING

JUST AS YOU LAUGHED WHEN YOU SAW THE TINY WORDS
ADULTS LAUGH AT THE CHILDREN AS IF THEY HAVE NO WORTH
OR PURPOSE
BUT I WILL RAISE THEM UP IN POWER
BE READY FOR WHEN THEY COME
THEY WILL COME IN GREAT NUMBERS
AND YOUR TOUCH WILL BRING FORTH THE POWER TO IGNITE THEM

God, how come I'm not taking this very seriously tonight?

BECAUSE YOU ARE CONSUMED BY MY PRESENCE
AND YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE DAYS TO COME
FOR I WILL REMOVE YOUR HIDING PLACES - ALL OF THEM
AND YOU ARE SO HAPPY AND SECURE IN YOUR PLACE WITH ME
BUT IT WILL ALL CHANGE IN ONE MORNING'S LIGHT
YOU ARE BASICALLY UNDER MY INFLUENCE TONIGHT
AND I WILL SIMPLY LEAVE YOU THERE
REALITY WILL HIT HARD WHEN IT COMES
AND THE LIGHT WILL SHINE UPON YOU AND YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO SHRINK BACK INTO SOLITUDE
BUT THE WORLD YOU WILL ADDRESS

You're right
I'll just stay with You for right now
The land seemed different this night
I saw many visions of the Army of children that You will raise up
and once again, I knew that all was for a purpose
I even walked upon the bricks that had been laid
for they are truly the foundation which You are laying for Your Army
and as You said,
THE TIME IS NOW
Make me ready . . . but please let me stay in Your Presence a little longer
Your Presence is beyond compare
It is like a love song sung to me
and I just want to stay in "this place" with You
forever

SHALOM, CHILD
ENJOY FOR NOW
FOR THE WORK BEGINS EVEN TOMORROW WITH THE FIRST SIGN OF LIGHT
THE DECLARATION MOVES FORTH AT GOD-SPEED
AND MANY WILL BE UP-IN-ARMS
I WORK AS I SPEAK AND MANY WILL NOT LIKE THE WORDS
BUT I WILL REIGN WHERE MY SERVANT SPEAKS THE WORDS
AND ALL IS UNDER MY CONTROL
SHALOM, CHILD
REMEMBER YOU WILL SURELY BE PROTECTED

Good, because I still have dreams about the Russians coming after me

BUT THEY DIDN'T CATCH YOU DID THEY?

No, but they came close

DID YOU FEAR IN THE DREAM?

No, I knew that I was always a step ahead

THE DREAM WAS PROOF THAT I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU SAFE
THE WORDS MUST CONTINUE TO BE WRITTEN
NO MATTER WHO IS AGAINST YOU
I WILL PROTECT YOU
I WILL

Thanks

YOU WILL FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN THE SPIRIT TOMORROW
EVEN AS THE SUN COMES UP
YOU WILL KNOW THAT I HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF MANY AREAS
WHICH WERE FORMALLY MAN'S DOMINION
YOU WILL KNOW AND REJOICE IN THE VICTORY WITH ME
TRULY REJOICE
FOR SERVANT, THE "GAME" IS ALREADY FINISHED IN THE SPIRIT
LET THE PLAYERS ALL PLAY THEIR PARTS
AND JUST ENJOY THE TRIUMPH
OF BEING ON THE WINNING TEAM!
ONCE AGAIN YOU WILL LEAVE THE AREA FOR I HAVE A WORK TO DO
AND YOU MUST BE AWAY FOR ME TO ACCOMPLISH IT TO COMPLETION
SOMEDAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS
BUT FOR NOW
ENJOY THE BEACH
AND KNOW THAT AS THE WAVES COME IN
SO WILL THE CHILDREN SOME DAY
THEY WILL COME AND THEY WILL COME AND THEY WILL COME
RIGHT TO YOUR DOORSTEP
AND NONE THAT ARE TRULY MINE WILL BE REFUSED
BUT ALL WILL BE ENTHUSED WITH MY GLORY
TO SET THIS WORLD
ON FIRE!

Hot!
