CONCLUSION
GOING BEYOND
I HOPE YOU ARE now seeing in a new way. Recently Tiffany Smith (one of the psalmists at Glory of Zion International) came forward and prophesied, There is power in sonship. I wont relent until you get to the place Ive destined for you. I wont relent. I am committed to you. Until the day Jesus returns, He is committed to youevery day, every step, and every purpose. There is a place called beyond that the Lord is calling you to. See your place called Beyond and start pressing toward that place!
I hear the Lord saying to us, Know Me as the Voice who creates order from chaos. I have called you to dominion. Mans call is to watch, multiply, and worship. The serpents voice is subtle. Abraham was tested on Mount Moriah but overcame by faith. Your covenant rights can be extended to another generation. I can cleanse the heavens, rend them, and come down. There is a power in My Passover. The blood of My Son will overcome. You can see abundance. I have a journey planned for your promised land. I will restore Davids tabernacle from generation to generation. The celebration of my feasts are important, each onePassover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the Feast of Trumpets) release a prophetic piece of your puzzle of life. Let the redeemed say, So! The virgin birth of Jesus, your Redeemer, secures eternity. The Word became flesh. Allow this word to change your flesh. My Sons sacrifice and surprise of the cross created the enemys defeat. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you. Demonstrate this power to a dying world. Colabor with angels. Walk under an open heaven. The Lion of Judah will have a triumphant remnant. Follow Me! These two words will cause you to see. Do not be afraid to come and see your future. Surrender to the Lord, receive My Spirit, and follow.
Understand these key principles so you can see your promises manifest. You are made to be an overcomer! Overcome sin, the flesh, the world, and the devil. Your last battle in life is death. Because God fathered your spirit, if you will allow your spirit to fellowship, be nourished, and exercised, you will remain strong. Though the enemy attempts to vex you, you will remain in right standing with the One who knit you together. Take every trial as a project. Know that you can be creative to overcome. The blood and the word of your testimony will overcome. Fear not death or the loss of your life. Your spirit is eternal. You can overcome the last sting of death. You win in the end! Your end can be greater than your beginning.

CHAPTER 1
THERE IS A MOMENT FOR CHANGE
I DO NOT HAVE time for many outlets or hobbies. My life is mostly travel, ministry, prayer, and family. At one time I painted on canvas. That was an enormous outlet. I still do some yard work when I have a Saturday and observe that Pam, my wife, is behind on maintenance. I travel 70 percent of the time, so that is usually my excuse when people ask me what I do. I actually sleep very little (a five-hour-a-day sleep pattern) and spend much of the night (and day) praying for people. I listen daily for my prayer list to form. Usually the Lord keeps ten people on that list each day. These are people in the throes of transition, ensnared by the enemy, or on the verge. My delight is to seek and know God and worship Him on a daily basis.
THERE IS A MOMENT FOR CHANGE AND VICTORY
One diversion I do enjoy is bowling. Actually, I have bowled for forty years. All of my sons bowl, some better than others, and as a ministry we bowl in city, regional, and national competitions. Our teams are Christian influences (most of the time) when we compete.
So why would I be starting this book this way? Recently, we were in competition on a regional level. In the first game of the nine-game competition, my son John Mark bowled a perfect game, a score of three hundred. He has performed this feat several times, so the perfect score was not the real issue. During the game, the Spirit of God impressed me deeply with these words: There is a moment for change and victory. I looked at my scoreone hundred seventy. I really could not grasp what I was hearing.
Here at Glory of Zion we have corporate prayer on Tuesday mornings. During our next Tuesday prayer, I heard the voice of God speaking again, There is a moment for change and victory. I wasnt leading in the prayer meeting, and this revelation from heaven appeared not to fit, so like Mary, I just pondered this statement.
Tuesday nights, we have five teams in a very competitive regional league. The league is called The Money League. This league pays quarterly and is more lucrative than most leagues in the area. I bowl with one of the owners of a pro shop in our area. She and her husband are great friends of ours. She is a devout Jew. So she understands G-d and recognizes His reality.
