Dear Friends:

SB777 has been signed into law by our governor. Here it is...

On January 2, 2008, new laws will require all public school instruction and activities to positively portray transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality to children as young as kindergarten. These terrible California laws are at the top of a long list of reasons why parents need to remove their children from government-controlled schools. Scroll down for the facts + more reasons to exit public schools.

"Mom and Dad" as well as "husband and wife" have been banned from California schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose. Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction, and a school district from sponsoring any activity, that reflects adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry. disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code, equal rights and opportunities in the educational institutions of the state. "Gender" means sex, and includes a person's gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth. "Sex" means the biological condition or quality of being a male or female human being. "Religion" includes all aspects of religious belief, observance, and practice and includes agnosticism and atheism. "Sexual orientation" means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. ..and students, whether male or female, must be allowed to use the restroom and locker room corresponding to the sex with which they choose to identify. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 777, as introduced, Kuehl. Discrimination. Existing law states that it is the policy of the state to afford equal rights and opportunities to all persons in the public or private elementary and secondary schools and postsecondary educational institutions of the state regardless of their sex, ethnic group identification, race, national origin, religion, or mental or physical disability and prohibits a person from being subjected to discrimination on those bases. Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction, and a school district from sponsoring any activity, that reflects adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry. Existing law prohibits the State Board of Education and the governing board of a school district from adopting for use in the public schools any instructional materials that reflect adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry. This bill would revise the list of prohibited bases of discrimination and the kinds of prohibited instruction, activities, and instructional materials and instead, would refer to disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic contained in the definition of hate crimes that is contained in the Penal Code. The bill would define disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation for this purpose. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

Stay Humble

By Os Hillman,
November 20, 2007

The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. - James 1:9

Do you find yourself in humble circumstances? If so, James tells us that we are to take pride in this "high" position. These two things would seem to be an oxymoron. Most of us would not consider humble circumstances a high position. Successful business tells us that being on top means being wealthy, attaining favor and status, or having power to influence. However, Jesus influenced not from power, but from weakness.

J.C. Penney is a name synonymous with department store. He first launched his chain of "The Golden Rule" stores in 1907. In 1910 his first wife died. Three years later, he incorporated as the J.C. Penney company. In 1923 his second wife died giving birth to his son. In 1929 the stock market crashed and he lost $40 million.

By 1932, he had to sell out to satisfy...creditors. This left [Penney] virtually broke. ...Crushed in spirit from his loss and his health suddenly failing, Penney wound up in a Battle Creek, Michigan sanitarium. One morning he heard the distant singing of employees who gathered to start the day with God: Be not dismayed, whate'er betide, God will take care of you.... Penney followed the music to its source and slipped into a back row. He left a short time later a changed man, his health and spirit renewed, and ready to start the long climb back at age fifty-six.
By 1951 there was a J.C. Penney store in every state, and for the first time sales surpassed $1 billion a year. [John Woodbridge, ed., More Than Conquerors (Chicago, Illinois: Moody Press, 1992), 340-343.]

The success of J.C. Penney can be traced to God's mercy in his life to bring him out of his humble circumstance. Do you find yourself in a humble circumstance? God is the only one who can help you see your humble circumstance from His viewpoint--a high position. It is a high position because of what God is going to teach you in this place. He does not intend you to stay there; it is merely a stopping place to learn some important things you would not learn otherwise. Press into God and trust Him for the outcome to your circumstances.

HEAVEN IS RELEASING NEW ASSIGNMENTS!

Matt Sorger:

"HEAVEN IS RELEASING NEW ASSIGNMENTS--PICK UP YOUR MANTLE"

"Never forget that mantles always have a price. Salvation is free, but the weight of His glory will cost you something."

THE MANTLE ROOM OF HEAVEN
I was recently caught up into a Heavenly visitation during one of our "Awakening Gatherings." That morning, as I stood to the pulpit to preach, I was instantly brought into an "open-eyed vision" where I was taken to a room in Heaven. Peering through the door, I could see many robe-like garments hanging along the wall. As I entered into the room, I could see that these garments were different sizes and patterned with many different colors. I intuitively knew that this was the "Mantle Room of Heaven." The Lord spoke to my heart, telling me that these garments were mantles He created and prepared for His people to wear on the earth. They would empower His children to fulfill their Heavenly callings and mandates.

In my vision of the Mantle Room, I saw that not one of these mantles were the same. Each was a unique size and color. I understood that God did not want carbon copies, but originals. He has a unique mantle made just for you. God does not want you to pattern yourself after another person or ministry. He wants you to be uniquely you. There is an aspect of His nature and power that He wants to display through your life. Each mantle, when worn by an individual on the earth, expresses a unique facet of God's nature and glory in Heaven.

Get ready! Some of these mantles are right now hovering over the Church and are about to be released in the earth. God is looking for those He can place them on. Some mantles will resemble things we have seen and are familiar with, while others will empower people to do things that have never been done before this time in history! God is looking for those He can anoint with fresh oil.

NEW MANTLES ARE ABOUT TO BE RELEASED
In a recent dream, the Lord showed me one of the mantles about to be released over the corporate Body of Christ. In my dream, I was in a house full of people. I heard a knock at the door and went to open it. When I opened the door, a very elderly woman was standing there. She could barely stand and looked like she was just about to pass over into eternity. I instantly recognized her. She was a very old "Kathryn Kuhlman." I reached down and put my arms under her, picked her up and carried her into the house. As I stepped over the threshold into the house, I awoke from my sleep. --End of dream.

For weeks I prayed over this dream, asking God for understanding. As I waited on the Lord, He began to unfold its meaning to me.
The Lord used the picture of Kathryn Kuhlman (along with her age) to symbolically speak to me. Once again, there is about to be released over the Church, a mantle that is similar to the one this great woman of God wore. Not only will it release mass miracles, but it is deeply connected to our level of intimacy with the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is a mantle of extraordinary power as well as deep intimacy with God. This mantle releases creative miracles as the atmosphere of Heaven is released in and over our lives. This type of mantle will not just cover one or two. God is wanting to release it over the Corporate Body. But it does require something....

It requires a life of complete surrender, obedience and death to self. It requires a lifestyle of deep communion with God. This mantle is being made available to all who want it and are willing to pay the price that goes along with it. Never forget that mantles always have a price. Salvation is free, but the weight of His glory will cost you something. With power comes responsibility. The heavier the mantle God gives you, the more dead to self you must be.

We can see the weight of responsibility that goes along with receiving a mantle in Numbers 11:17. The Lord said to Moses, "I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you carry the burden of the people so that you will not have to carry it alone." Not only was the "authority" of Moses transferred to 70 people, the "responsibility" of bearing the burden of the people came with it.

BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
In my dream, it was significant that I had to pick Kathryn Kuhlman up. When God releases a mantle, we must pick it up! There is an action required on our part. When the mantle fell from Elijah, Elisha had to bend down and pick up that mantle. When he did, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Elisha had to be in the right place at the right time to receive that mantle. It required persistence, determination and faithfulness on his part so he would be correctly positioned to receive the mantle when the time came for it to be released.

The same is true for us. It does matter where you are and who you are hanging out with! Some visitations from the Lord require you being in a specific place at a specific time. It is crucial that we are where God wants us to be, so that He can visit us in such a way to release the new mantles He has for us.

I know each time I have received a mantle from the Lord, it has been in a specific place and time. Each time I was exactly where the Spirit wanted me to be. For example, the Lord led me to be in Moriah Chapel in Wales during the 100-year anniversary of the Welsh Revival. It was during this special time of prayer and seeking the Lord that I had a deep encounter with the "Revival Mantle." I could physically feel a blanket-like garment being draped over my legs and around my waist. God gave me a very deep revelation on the true meaning of revival, but that is for another article.

Another time I was in Europe, ministering with an evangelist friend in Estonia, who was doing some large evangelistic crusades when the "Mass Crusade Mantle" came upon me. I was standing on the platform when it happened. The anointing for miracles and mass salvation came into the meeting. As I was standing on the right side of the platform, it felt like someone placed a blanket over my head, shoulders and arms. There was a new mantle for mass crusades being placed on my life. This mantle was released in the midst of the glorious atmosphere of a mass crusade meeting. I was in the right place at the right time. Just three months later, I held my first mass crusade in India. Multitudes were saved, healed of sickness and delivered from demonic oppression!

WHAT TYPES OF MANTLES CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE?
I want to briefly share with you four mantles that we can expect to see released in this next season. This is by no means an exclusive list. There are many other mantles to pick up and receive besides the four I am about to share. I simply want to highlight some of the mantles the Lord has highlighted to me.

The first is connected to the dream I had concerning Kathryn Kuhlman. This mantle is a "Mantle of Glory and Creative Miracles." It will bring a keen sensitivity to the Person of the Holy Spirit and will release amazing signs and wonders, not just inside church buildings, but everywhere His people carry His glory. The Lord recently spoke to me that He was raising the standard in the healing movement once again. Matthew 12:15 says, "He healed them ALL."

This outpouring will release an even greater wave of signs and wonders, not just in the church services, but in the marketplace. God is looking for vessels He can endue with power out in the marketplace. We will see "backyard miracles" in mass--miracles in the homes, in the workplace, out on the streets, in the hospitals and in the malls. We will see creative miracles everywhere God's people go, releasing the power of the Kingdom into this present age.

The second is a "Mantle of Mass Deliverance." Not only will we see mass miracles, but there is also a wave of mass deliverance coming. People that have struggled in areas of their lives for years will receive breakthrough as the fire of deliverance is released into their lives. I encourage you to pray this prayer, "Lord, uncover and expose every area of darkness in my heart." As you do, God will release by His Spirit, a deep deliverance in your life.

Just as the Lord delivered Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians in mass, so God will deliver His people in mass. And we are not coming out empty-handed. This is where we will see the supernatural divine transfer of wealth which the prophets have been proclaiming. Mass deliverance is connected to the release of this divine transfer (see Exodus 3:20-22).
The third is a "Mantle of Supernatural Favor." God is placing mantles of favor upon His children in this hour. It's the type of favor that God placed on Isaac as he was taking possession of the land of his inheritance in Genesis 26. As he contended for what God said was his, the Lord eventually even caused his enemies to want to be at peace with him. Isaac eventually came into a place of total fulfillment and rest as he dug a well and called the name of the place Beersheba, meaning "Well of the Seven." Seven speaks of "fulfillment, completion and rest." Favor makes a way where there seems to be no way and causes you to receive all God has for you.

The fourth is a "Media Mantle." We will see a "Media Revival" with a move of God spreading through the airwaves. The Lord spoke to me that He is raising up TV networks that will help facilitate this end time move of God. GodTV is one of those networks. But there are more. Jesus will even be glorified over the secular networks! God is placing Media Mantles on people who will glorify His name through various media outlets.

As we move into this next season, I encourage you to stay sensitive to the voice of the Spirit as He leads you into times of prayer and waiting on Him. This will prepare you to be fully ready for all that He wants to release in and through your life. Get ready to pick up your mantle!

The Earth is Trembling

"THE EARTH ITSELF IS NOW TREMBLING TO BE REDEEMED...LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING!"

Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the Lord's and the 'fullness' thereof; the world and they that dwell therein." "Earth" in this Scripture literally means "earth, land and ground," (whatever is under your feet!).

I sense the Spirit saying, "The earth is now ripe for picking! It's coming into it's 'fullness' for harvest." I sense lands and whole regions of the earth are beginning to pull on the Word of God to be redeemed into God's Kingdom.

THE CREATED WORLD ITSELF IS STANDING ON ITS TIPTOES WAITING TO SEE WHAT'S COMING NEXT

I sense creation itself is now beginning to play a significant role in fulfilling God's purposes in the earth. Joshua prophesied to the sun to stand still to help him win the battle! Ezekiel preached to the four winds to bring God's breath to dead bones! Jeremiah prophesied to the earth..."earth, earth hear the word of the Lord!"

I wonder if Abraham (whose seed would be as many as the stars above his head) didn't preach at times to those galaxies in the universe or, perhaps, the stars preached to him! In Psalms, it tells us that God calls the stars all by their names as if there is some kind of communication going on between He and them.

God spoke and the worlds were framed by the word of His power and came into existence! I believe God wants to speak, preach and prophesy not only to the people on the earth through us, but also to His creation itself--this hour--as He is longing to restore all things unto Himself!
ALL OF CREATION IS NOW GROANING TO BE REDEEMED AND TO COME INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

Romans 8:19, "For the earnest expectation of creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God." Romans 8:22-23 "For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body."

There was a time when Charles Finney, after feeling like he just preached his worst sermon ever, considered quitting the ministry. He shared how his words seemed so dead that his words fell straight to the ground and never got to the ears of the people in his meeting. Years later, he discovered that his "worst" sermon had sent forty eight men and women to the mission fields. Could it be that his words were actually falling on the thirsty ground of those nations first--to cultivate the soil so a Macedonian call could be sent to these men and women later?

Recently, I have been asked to minister in regions as people come together to pray, to ask for God's guidance and how to redeem their region back to God. As I ministered at these regions, I noticed a strong resistance from the powers over that city or region. When I ministered on unity to the people, it seemed that the message was not received. Faces seemed to be blank and my words seemed to fall right off of my lips, straight to the ground. At the time, I felt no liberty as I spoke that message, although I knew it was what God wanted me to share.

After the meeting had ended, an Amish brother who was in that meeting came to me with tears in his eyes and asked me to come to his house to minister that same message to his people. He said, "You must come speak this message to my people who are now hungry for God! The message God gave you is a key to unlock this region and bring unity to us all!" Others also confirmed that the message was like a plow digging deep into the soil of that region to bring forth a move of the Spirit of God.

The Lord seemed to show me that the ground in that region was also so hungry, that it was groaning and almost taking the word of God into itself, before it could hardly reach the people's ears! That word was not just falling to the ground, but falling on good ground. Thirsty ground that was eager to come into the Kingdom of Heaven! Ground so hungry to become fertile to yield her increase of the corn of Heaven. Yes, a ground that would begin to flow with milk and honey to produce record-breaking crops and even livestock.

At times when no one seems to be receiving your message and it seems to be falling to the ground, you may be actually cultivating the soil beneath your feet that will yield a whole city, a whole state, or a whole nation!

I sensed later that I had been mainly sent to that region to preach and prophesy to the earth beneath the people's feet, perhaps more than to the people themselves! We must now be careful when we minister. God is out to redeem "the land" as well as "the people" on it!

DELMARVA REGION WILL SEE THE GLORY OF GOD!

On October 13th in a meeting in Berlin, Maryland near Ocean City, I shared a word the Lord gave me for the Delmarva region which includes Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia:
I sense the Lord saying, "You will hear from creation on the glory of God coming to the Delmarva region. The earth in this region is now trembling to be redeemed!"

"Watch for the earth to declare God's Glory! The earth itself is now receiving the word of the Lord to 'yield her increase.' Watch for record-breaking crops and livestock to increase in unusual ways. Unusual catches of fish and their size will make the news in this region! Some catches will break fishing poles and fishing nets again! Some fish will seem to be catching men! Some big catches will seemingly be pulling men into the water!"

"The beasts of the earth shall teach you. God will use the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field to declare His Glory! You will witness creatures and all of creation beginning to praise the Lord and they shall be as signs unto you that the Glory of God is coming upon the earth! Some people will claim to actually hear animals praising the Lord and God speaking through them. This will be a sign that all of creation is now groaning to witness the redemption of our bodies and the sons of God to come forth in power to redeem the land!"

Last week, local news from Maryland reported: "Record Fish Reeled In From The Bay." A local Maryland news source reported that, "State Department of Natural Resources officials say a Delaware man caught a record 'Spanish' mackerel, the largest ever caught in the Maryland waters of the Chesapeake Bay...he landed the Spanish mackerel that weighed in at 12.4 pounds and measured 37 inches long. The previous Maryland record of 11.47 pounds was set two weeks earlier in the same Middle Grounds area in the lower bay. That broke a 10 pound record from 2002." (News source: WBAL Radio as reported by Anne Kramer and The Associated Press)
I sense as our earth is groaning in labor with earthquakes, floods, fires and hurricanes, creation will now begin declaring the Glory of God through its pain. "We glory in tribulation."

I sensed also when I read this report that the word "Spanish" jumped out at me. I sense the Lord is also confirming that there will be a "record-breaking" great outpouring of God's glory upon Spanish people in this region that will continue all the way to the West coast.

"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the earth and they that dwell therein." Psalm 23:1
