Dear Believers in Christ, The Lord has commanded us to be very discerning and not to believe everything we hear. In speaking of false teachers, Jesus said, "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:29-30). After two thousand years, the words of Jesus still ring true. We live in an age where false and perverse teachings have infiltrated the body of Christ. We have leaders who are grievous wolves feeding on the sheep without worry or concern. The Apostle Peter says, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of" (2 Peter 2:1-2). Furthermore, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 says, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." These false apostles are so deceiving that they appear to be ministers of righteousness, but are wolves in sheep's clothing. They exhibit the same traits of their father, the devil, who roars like a lion and seeks whom he may devour. Let us beware of these ministers of Satan who want to deceive the body of Christ. These false teachers and prophets say things to please the flesh and not the Spirit of God. 1 John 4:1-3 says, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us test every spirit. And let us study the word of God, "... rightly dividing the word of truth."

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -- May 29, 2008:
Behold, I am opening new doors and providing substantial help and supernatural strength for you to accomplish what you have set yourself to achieve. Do not tarry, but move through these portals expeditiously. I will give you the necessary wisdom and direction required at this time to fulfill your intentions. However, you must establish and maintain valid priorities beginning with godly desires and faith if you are to attain your objective, says the Lord.
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

| BEFORE!!!The word conception produced from the word concept: the act of constructing or combining an idea: “Before: (Previous to in time; earlier than) I formed: (designed, created, shaped) thee in the womb: (a place where something is produced) I knew thee; and before thou cometh forth out of the womb I sanctified: (consecrated, set us apart, dedicate for a purpose) thee, and I ordained: (poured into us the priestly authority) thee a prophet (the interpreter to speak, teach, dance, sing, encourage through the Word the will of a God 1 Peter 2:9 - But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light) unto the nations: (territory).” Jeremiah 1:5 Conceiving (to begin/originate, to form ideas or concepts understand, apprehend) spiritually depends on your wiliness to follow the plan of God for your life (obedience). Many of us (began to) experience: gaining knowledge of the condition of being fertilized: the process of producing our purpose: (the reason, point or understanding why I am here revelation/idea from father) but few of us actually experience the total impregnation: infusing, pour in, filling of God’s purpose in our lives. Because of our natural/carnal wombs that conceives Fear, doubt and pride: it sometimes reproduces false systems of pregnancy, which is Spiritual Pseudo-pregnancy: A condition/position that resembling Spiritual pregnancy but may be caused by a Spiritual dysfunction, in which Spiritual symptoms of pregnancy are manifested without conception 2 Timothy 3:5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. These very seeds kill or destroy the original seeds of being consecrated, established God had fertilized within us. Our responsibility from the very beginning is to yield to God’s WILL: purpose or desire only. Once we have yielded and surrendered: This produces and began to a truly experience a life of worship: (intimacy).In intimacy with God causes something is stir in our Spiritual womb: the Mind, Heart and spirit. The activity of conception begins with surrendering our obedience to God which brings: change, growth, movement, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, a true desire for the things of God, obedience to His will. Conception: something that did not actually exist is begat: calling the things that are not, as though they were…….Producing Spiritual Pregnancy.@ Minister Angela L. Teach (2/15/2008)
