Thank you Pastor Paul Arends of The Flathead Valley Cowboy Church in Kalispell, Montana http://www.flatheadvalleycowboychurch.org/

 for teaching me how to live in God's glory and sending me with the vision of God painting me with colors.

I feel amazing royal colors of HIS glory.

For those of you who can't make it, here are some notes and highlights...

...I know I just couldn't help myself.

For the longest time my heart and soul has been on one thought.

Rope them in~Make an Impact and leave a legacy!

God wants to give us the desire of our hearts.

Did you ever stop to think who gave us that desire in the first place?

He wrote our story from start to finish before time began.

I want to be a women of excellence! Someone who makes an impact on everyone I meet.  I want to leave a legacy for everyone that God assigned me to rope in.

We have been called to make an Impact.  I love acronyms so I set one up for you so you can remember the word impact and apply it to your spiritual life.

I ~   Identity in Christ.  Do you know who you are?

M ~ Mount up and ride Cowgirl.  Get Free from fear!

P ~  Power and Authority.  What?   Really?

A ~ Alignment with your assignment.  Do you know what it is? Get one!

C ~ Commissioned with confidence.  Why not?

T ~ Truth to stand on.  Be unstoppable!

With all the disasters all over the nations or in peoples lives.  Do you understand that an impact is being made?  What kind? ____________________________________________________

How does that effect you? _______________________________________________

It's time now to make an impact on the lives of others

• Our children need an impact
• Our family needs an impact
• Our nation needs an impact
• Everyone needs an impact!

1 Cor. 2:7 says God destined for our glory before time began... Our glory?

What does that mean? __________________________________________________

I ~   Identity in Christ.  Do you know who you are?

Isaiah 55:5 (New King James Version)

⁵ Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
      And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
      Because of the LORD your God,
      And the Holy One of Israel;
      For He has glorified you.”
   
Can you see what I see?

• We are glorified! God created us to shine in His glory

Shine and Glory double bonus
Isaiah 60:1-4 The Gentiles Bless Zion
 ¹ Arise, shine;
      For your light has come!
      And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
       ² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
      And deep darkness the people;
      But the LORD will arise over you,
      And His glory will be seen upon you.
       ³ The Gentiles shall come to your light,
      And kings to the brightness of your rising.
       ⁴ “ Lift up your eyes all around, and see:

Glorification ~ alter, change, modify - cause to change; make different; cause a transformation; Thesaurus says ~ elevation, advancement, promotion.

Take me to another level because I just found out that I have been glorified.

Romans 8:18 says ...glory shall be revealed in us.  For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits for the revealing of the sons/daughters of God.

Eagerly awaits?

Cowgirl up! Unstoppable daughters we carry the same glory as Jesus.

M ~ Mount up and ride Cowgirl.  Get Free from fear!

• Mount up daughters! 

He is waiting for us to understand who we are.  The other day I was praying late at night while I was trying to go to sleep.  I drifted into a dream type vision of the sky looking like liquid glass.  Suddenly a giant eagle's head slowly poked through and was looking down with it's amazing strong eyes.  It was glancing back and forth just the head was all I can see.  But the eyes are what caught most of my attention.  When I woke up I remembered this vision/dream thing and thought what was that?  I don't know?  It didn't really say much and all I could remember really was this giant eagle head poking through and those strong eyes searching.  I thought and prayed and finally the interpretation came.  The sky of liquid glass was a heavenly realm and the eagle eyes was He was showing me eyes to see what He see's.  Bring it on!

Eyesight
      All eagles are renowned for their excellent eyesight, and the bald eagle is no exception. They have two foveae or centers of focus, that allow the birds to see both forward and to the side at the same time. Bald eagles are capable of seeing fish in the water from several hundred feet above, while soaring, gliding or in flapping flight. This is quite an extraordinary feat, since most fish are counter-shaded, meaning they are darker on top and thus harder to see from above. Fishermen can confirm how difficult it is to see a fish just beneath the surface of the water from only a short distance away.
An eagle's eye is almost as large as a humans, but its sharpness is at least four times that of a person with perfect vision. The eagle can probably identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed position.

John 17:22 when Jesus prayed for all believers ....the glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one

He wants us to see what he sees and be free from fear.

Do you hear lies playing old tapes in your ears saying this is not for you.  Be FREE from that lie~drop it off your shoulders like a heavy coat.

Several years ago I was spoken over in prophesy.  She said that I had a Lion caged up behind a locked gate.  This lion was waiting to be loosed.  For years I've been trying to find a way to release this lion.  I don't know what it meant or why but I wanted to let him out.  I did know it was the power of God in the vision of the Lion of Judah but I didn't understand the power at that time. 

Today I am reading Lisa Bevere's book Lioness Arising and she quotes:
Alexander the Great said, 
      I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.

He goes before you!  You stand and follow the mighty Lion of Judah.  He's got your back.  He is waiting for your call~ sick-em

Now I saddle up that lion and ride into battle without fear.  Get some cowgirl boots and stomp on scorpions.  Or if you live in California just use your sharp heal of your stiletto's.


P ~  Power and Authority.  What?   Really?

John 17:20-22 (New King James Version) Jesus Prays for All Believers  
²⁰ “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will^[a] believe in Me through their word; ²¹ that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. ²² And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

Peter understood the glory.

Acts 3:6
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

• Power and Authority he gave us through the gift of Holy Spirit.

Is your shadow working?  Peter walked in glorification!

Acts 5:14-16 (New King James Version) ¹⁴ And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, ¹⁵ so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. ¹⁶ Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

A ~ Alignment with your assignment.  Do you know what it is? Get one!

Jeremiah 29:11 (New King James Version)

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

• Get in Alignment with your assignment

2 Peter 1:3-11  Confirming One’s Calling and Election   ³ His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Get about your Fathers business.  If you don't know what that is then make it your business to find out.
Ask Him to reveal his plans for your life.  If you are walking around waiting for a prophesy that was given to you years ago to take place.  Start moving forward in the prophesy.  Line yourself up.

Romans 8:28-30 (New King James Version) ²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. ²⁹ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Definition of CONFORM

transitive verb

: to give the same shape, outline, or contour to : bring into harmony or accord <conform furrows to the slope of the land>

intransitive verb

1

C ~ Commissioned with confidence.  Why not?

The twelve did have a one up on us as they had Jesus standing there in front of them giving the commission and then sending them out.

Matthew 28:18-20 (New King James Version)

 ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Go therefore^[a] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.^[b]

He commanded us so why not?  Fear?

Luke 10:18-20 (New King James Version)

¹⁸ And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ²⁰ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather^[a] rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

This is big!  Go with confidence~the power is in Gods word and the word is power!

Psalm 27 A Psalm of David.

 ¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation;
         Whom shall I fear?
         The LORD is the strength of my life;
         Of whom shall I be afraid?
 ² When the wicked came against me
         To eat up my flesh,
         My enemies and foes,
         They stumbled and fell.
 ³ Though an army may encamp against me,
         My heart shall not fear;
         Though war may rise against me,
         In this I will be confident.

T ~ Truth to stand on.  Be unstoppable!

2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 (New King James Version)

Stand Fast

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, ¹⁴ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Are you ready to make an impact?  Be unstoppable!
