JOSHUA TIME 451

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, this Prophet’s Chamber is a place where I can share teaching and discipleship from God’s heart — for my treasured Platinum Covenant Partners. It is my prayer that every time you enter this chamber with your spirit open and ready to receive from Him, God will pour out His anointing into every area of your life. Your spirit will grow and be strengthened until you are a mighty spiritual warrior! May the Lord guide you by His Holy Spirit as you mine the treasures of His holy Word.
Prophetic Word: REBUILD THE BROKEN BRIDGE
“... and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in” (Isaiah 58:12).
It’s time for God’s people — you and I — to rebuild the Gospel bridge that Satan has stolen from us. This chasm between God and man leads to loneliness — and feelings of separation from God. It leads to heartbreak in your marriage and family. It leads to feelings of oppression in your job. It makes you feel hopeless and helpless. And it doesn’t stop with you! The void left by the destructive forces of evil in this world is destroying homes, families and marriages everywhere. And it is attacking God’s church at a frenetic pace ... subtly seeking to consume God’s army of believers until the church is barely recognizable from the world.
But it doesn’t have to be this way! God has given us all we need to rebuild the bridge in His Word, and today, I want to share these life-changing “Biblical Planks” with you. It is my prayer that as you, my Platinum Covenant Partner, open your heart to His revolutionary message, you will feel a fresh anointing from God, a new oneness with Him, as you work to lay these planks of restoration and healing in your life and in the lives of your loved ones.
Plank #1: Salvation
In recent years the church has been about the business of rewriting the unadulterated Word of God. Some divinity schools and their elitist scholars have deflated the born-again salvation experience to an insignificant speck in their philosophical dissertations. But the Bible still says, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Salvation is a response drawn from sincere recognition of our sin and unworthiness. If it’s authentic, it leads to a passionate desire to know, seek and follow Jesus. If your salvation is sure, lay this important plank in the lives of your loved ones and friends.
Plank #2: Healing
The Bible declares, “With his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5). Let us take God at His Word! Over the years, Satan has whispered his lies into the hearts of men. We have tried to dilute the healing power of God’s Word by claiming that this declaration concerns only spiritual healing, not physical healing. But the Jesus who sits at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf is the same Jesus who was moved with compassion to heal the sick while He walked this earth. To experience God’s healing nature, you must first come into His presence, prepared and expectant. The atmosphere of expectancy is the birthplace of miracles. The main reason people do not experience healing today is because no one will pray for them and expect a miracle. Build your bridge of healing by asking God to heal you, your family and loved ones and then wait in expectancy for your miracle to come.
Plank #3: Freedom through deliverance
The doctrine of deliverance has been replaced by self-help groups and counseling sessions that tap-dance around the root of the problem — the devil. The spoken Word of Jesus had the power to drive out the forces of darkness 2,000 years ago, and it holds the same power today. Trust it! When you speak the Word of God for deliverance in your life — or the life of your loved one — with sincerity, boldness and endurance, the shackles and chains of bondage can be destroyed.
Plank #4: Holiness
We must refuse to co-exist with compromise. To bring about the fullness of God’s end-time revival we must rend, purify and sanctify our hearts, glorifying the Living God in all manner of prayer and praise with all boldness. Holy living is godly living. It is seeking first God’s Will and His Way and following in the path of righteousness ... at work, at home, in your marriage, with your children, in your “extra-curricular” activities and as you relate to others. God must be first and foremost in your life and exalting Him must be your driving passion.
When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, man's access to God was severed. But Jesus took the wood of His own cross and fashioned a bridge to span the gulf of sin. And that is when Satan began his work of undermining the foundation of the Word of God and pulling that bridge apart, piece by piece ... life by life. The day has come for us to start pointing our finger in the devil’s face and command him to STOP!
Joshua, with God’s help, we must work together to repair and restore the bridge once and for all!
