"I Will Greatly Multiply Your Seed!"

9/11/2020

Seeds Photo - HisInscriptions.com

As I prayed this morning, I heard the voice of the Lord speaking about seeds and harvest. It is so important to be sowing God's Words right now so that He can multiply our harvest!

The Lord also reminded me of a word He had released in January, 2017 concerning the "Garden of the Lord," which I have not published until now. The two words dovetailed so beautifully that I wanted to share them with you today.

My prayer is that these words will encourage you to intentionally plant the "seeds" the Lord is giving you in this season so that you can see a great harvest.

Give a Year End Gift
Dear Friends, 
Christmas blessings to every reader of His Inscriptions! In this joyful season I am celebrating the gift of Jesus Christ! 

I have been meditating on the first chapter of Ephesians, which reminds us of our hope of heaven's promised blessings, our redemption through Christ's forgiveness, our adoption as sons and daughters of a heavenly Father, and our inheritance in Him.

Picture: Sticks & Stones: How to Burn for Jesus when Life is Littered with Difficulties

What does it mean to be a “burning one?” To be passionate for Jesus, bearing fruit in every good work?

There was a tremendous response to this topic in a previous post. I promised you I would share more about what it means to be a “burning one,” and I believe today’s practical prophetic word will be a blessing to you as you seek to burn brightly for the Lord!

Receive Your Keys!

"I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." -Matthew 16:19, NASB
​

Dear Friends, 

Following is a word I received in prayer just two nights ago. I believe it will be a great encouragement to you as well! God is releasing great revelation to His people: prophetic keys that unlock vision, hearts, and even storehouses, all for Kingdom purposes! Don't miss your appointments with God, which have the potential to unlock so much for so many. Enter His gates with expectation, believing that He is ALWAYS speaking good things to those who will listen! 
​
Blessings, 
Deborah
​


Press in! Press in! For the time is short and the Kingdom’s agenda still long before the coming of the Lord! 

Those who linger behind will miss the joy of receiving My new assignments for age-old plans! There are still many people I wish to reach, and you must know the ones I am calling you to in this hour. Every person has a task, every believer a work to do to fulfill My hope in the nations worldwide. I can use you! I can use you as you are; only come to Me to hear and learn. Let Me touch your lips, and fill your mouths with good and mighty things! 

Let My Spirit open you up in this hour to receive from Me and give to others. Without an internal opening up of your heart, there will be no external reach to the nations. Only what I will give you will have the weight and substance necessary to unlock the difficult “puzzles” of men’s hearts.

Are You Angry With God?

6/27/2019

Comments

 
Picture: Are You Angry with God? Blog from Deborah Perkins

Not many Christians will admit to being angry with God. It seems unholy somehow, against the "rules" of Christianity that we have been taught. After all, if God is no longer angry with us, then what right do we have to be angry with Him? 

Yet simmering beneath the surface, even the best believers have some level of anger towards God, anger they often won't admit even to themselves. Why? Because most of us, no matter how holy, deal with unmet expectations. 
​

One of the greatest breakthroughs in how we understand God can also lead us to one of the greatest difficulties: God is a person! We can have a wonderful, personal relationship with God, yet that very same truth can become a stumbling block to us when we transfer natural human expectations over onto Him and forget He is also divine.

What's Your Personality?

What's Your Personality? A biblical view of personality profiles and your personal potential in Christ. From Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

Have you ever taken a personality test?

People around the world have used personality profiles to understand each other better. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses has become a trend, especially in Christian circles. The information can be a helpful tool for teambuilding and for leaders, to know how best to motivate the people who serve them.

I have taken many of these tests over the years and emerged with a series of “labels” designed to define me. I’m sure you have, too!

I know, for example, that I am equally balanced between introversion and extroversion (although my husband might question the “balanced” part!). I love a good party, love connecting with people, but recharge alone and need some time to “regroup” after a series of social events.

I am a researcher, a teacher/trainer, a high achiever, a creative, a prophet with a pastoral bent, an intuitive “feeler” and a very passionate person. I have been called melancholic, choleric, a leader, a judge, a mystic and - help me Jesus - a "Beaver!" 

What are you?

More importantly, who does God say you are? How does God define you?

Here is what I believe God is saying to us today: “I want to develop personality in you - not YOURS but MINE!”

God knows who we are. He knows what labels we’ve been given. He’ll even use our strengths and weaknesses for His glory. Yet ultimately, He wants to infuse us with HIMSELF, filling us with His Divine Personality.

Podcast: Families with a Mission

5/15/2019

Comments

 

Growth - both spiritual and natural - happens in the context of family. It is intimacy that brings healing, and accountability that promotes maturity. 

Romans 8 says we are all children of God, adopted into the household of God and part of a spiritual "first family." Amazingly, God's family is - like some of ours - a blended family, and God understands the unique challenges we face as we grow up into His image and learn to love each other along the way!

While we will always be the children of a loving Father, our goal is maturity in God. God wants us to become mothers and fathers in the faith, just as He is! The way we do that is through our relationships with family. 

Today, listen in as I share both prophetic words and experiences that will encourage you as you grow to maturity in God. Click here to listen to the Podcast on Youtube. For a written version of the prophetic words I share in this video, click below:

Lead with Love!

Lead with Love! Blog by Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

An unusual thing happened the other day. The Senior Pastor of my church called me, out of the blue, to say hello. No agenda. No problems. No church business to discuss. Just a “Hello, how are you” kind of call.

That call was a HUGE blessing in my day!

Most leaders I know are pretty busy people. Heck, I am, too! When I hung up the phone after our call, I sat for a moment wondering: when is the last time a leader called me and didn’t need something? Wanted to just connect, for the sake of the relationship, not the “mission” or the shared purpose, whatever that may be?

Apart from a handful of very dear friends I know in leadership, I couldn’t remember. Leaders who lead with love are a rare and special breed.

Roadblocks to Revival - blog post from Deborah Perkins of www.HisInscriptions.com

In the next few posts, I will be focusing on three spiritual roadblocks that can hinder your  revival. These three are not the only barriers to revival, but they are things I felt the Lord wanted to us to focus on here at His Inscriptions.  The first barrier? Unforgiveness.

Don't Stop the Flow! Letting God set your boundaries as a Christian Leader, by Deborah Perkins

The Lord will always lead you, satisfy you in a parched land, and strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden and like a spring whose waters never run dry.
~Isaiah 58:11


I hear the Lord saying: “At present, you are more like a water spigot than a fountain. You are connected to your Source and can access My power, but you enjoy the ability to turn on or off the water at your own good pleasure. I would rather you be a fountain flowing continuously, not a spigot flowing sporadically. For this, you will need to yield full control to Me.”

The Secret to Seeing God

9/18/2018

Comments

 
In the Sermon on the Mount, #Jesus tells His disciples a secret that will enable them to see #God. Do you know what it is? Read more in this article from Deborah Perkins at His Inscriptions.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
​-1 Corinthians 13:12
As a maturing believer, I have a burning desire to see and hear God more accurately. I often ask to know more of God. Sometimes I hear from you readers asking similar questions: How do I know what God wants me to do? How can I be sure I will see Him leading me, or hear Him guiding me? I want to know Him, but I have trouble seeing Him!

God’s solution to these everyday questions is a secret that Jesus revealed in the Sermon on the Mount.

The Amazing Power of Intercession

The Amazing Power of Intercession. The story of how one intercessory act brought healing to a grieving family in another nation. By Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

Do you know the difference between prayer and intercession?

Prayer, according to Merriam-Webster, is “an address or petition to God in word or thought.” It is, as most people imagine, making an earnest request to God.

Intercession, which many people believe to be the same thing, actually takes prayer one step further. While it may include praying to God for something, to intercede is to “intervene between parties with a view to reconciling differences; to mediate.”* In other words, intercession is prayer in action!

Trained by Pain

Trained by Pain - Make pain your ally in prayer and practice of the Christian Life. Read more from Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

What is your first response to pain?

​In the span of just one week, several of my close friends experienced heavy losses. One friend was betrayed by someone close to her. Another dear friend was faced with the emotional pain of feeling unloved in primary relationships. When a third friend broke her foot in a roadside accident on vacation, I spent a number of hours with her in the ER, hoping to relieve her physical pain.    

In each case, my first response was compassionate action: I reached out as best I could with prayers and practical help. 

​I know for a fact, though, that when I am the one in pain, my first response is very different. When hurt increases, compassion vanishes. I have a new goal: avoid that pain at all costs!

It's Time to Heal the Wounds of the Next Generation!

It's Time to Heal the Wounds of the Next Generation! by Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

I had a powerful dream this morning which was so evidently from the Lord that I felt compelled to write it down and share it. This dream revealed the Father's heart for healing the next generation, our youth, and could not be ignored. The reason? The children of today are both the most anointed and the most assaulted of any previous generations. Even in their schools, the places where they should be receiving mentoring and training, they are not safe. The enemy sees the call of God on this generation and is trying desperately to take them out before they can step into their destinies as miracle-working, revival-awakening instruments of God.

Women, You Are Indispensable to God's Plan!

9/13/2017

Comments

 
Women, You Are Indispensable to God's Plan! Read more about what God really thinks about you, here on the His Inscriptions blog.

Who can find a virtuous woman?
​For her price is far above rubies. 

-Proverbs 31:10, KJV

​
So many prophetic words lately concern the immeasurable worth of women. God is intensely interested in affirming the value of women in this hour: our dignity, our worth, our potential for great impact in the Kingdom of God. On July 27th, He spoke to me, releasing a word for women that astonished me and brought me to tears with His love. (To read it, click here). And He is still speaking.

Why? Is God taking sides with the feminist movement? Far from it. He is trying to restore some essential things that we, the Body of Christ, have lost. God is restoring the truths that men and women are equally important in His plan, that we function best together, and that “gender relations” are about partnership, not one-upmanship.

Let’s be candid. It’s not easy to be a woman in a man’s world. Many areas of the globe still oppress women horribly; read Manal Al-Sharif’s book, Daring to Drive, about women in Saudi Arabia, for a look at the current state of gender oppression there. We have much work to do in the areas of both human and women’s rights.

Yet even here in America, I encounter women who are still afraid to move forward in the things God has uniquely gifted them to do. We are still slowly emerging, as a nation, from a time when a woman’s sole purpose was to serve her husband and raise her children. Quietly. At home. After all, this is what the Bible tells us to do, right?

I believe there is more to a woman’s worth than changing diapers and serving dinners. We have done both. But we can do more.

Ask Boldly! The Benefits of Friendship with God (Prophecy)

3/8/2017

Comments

 

To believe God for greater things requires that we know God in greater ways.
 Asking boldly in prayer means we must move beyond superficiality. God's compassion is stirred by those who attend to Him daily, listening to His words and seeking His face. God is looking for deep friendship with His people, and for those friends, He has great promises. Here are some of the promises He is making for this season.

2017 Prophecy: A YEAR FOR FAITH, FAMILY,  & FINANCES

2017 Prophecy: A Year for Faith, Family, and Finances. Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com shares a prophetic word for 2017.
NOTE: To watch a video of this prophetic word, visit https://youtu.be/1qQERmAL0mY

We are living in a time of great acceleration. In speaking about the coming New Year, God reminded me of scriptures from Amos 9:13, Leviticus 26:5, and Joel 3:18. Through both scripture and some amazing practical confirmations, He is revealing that 2017 is to be a year when “the plowman overtakes the reaper.” Scarcely will your seed be sown before you see the harvest from it! You will have a thought in your heart and almost immediately see the provision of the Lord for it.

The Power of Encouragement

The Power of Encouragement: A biblical look at the story of John Mark and Barnabas, cousins, who encouraged one another in ministry. By Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com

Encouragement is a rare commodity. Strife and division abound in today’s culture, so much so that it seems things have never been worse. Even within the church, we find sharp divisions between believers over politics, doctrine, gifts, and personalities. Despite our call to love one another, Christians often doesn’t look much different from the world.
​
If the lack of encouragement and unity makes you wish Jesus would simply come and rapture us now, you might be surprised to know that two of the most respected leaders in the early Christian church encountered the same problem, just a few years after Jesus walked the earth! The source of their division was a man named John Mark.

How a "Mini" Christian Prayer Retreat Can Reconnect You With God

10/19/2016

Comments

 
How a Mini Christian Prayer Retreat Can Help You Reconnect with God - blog post by Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com. A strategy for minimizing drift and reconnecting to God and your Christian mission.

Many of you in the His Inscriptions community responded positively to last week’s post, which included a reminder of God’s promise to bless those who set aside time for Him. You may remember that part of the specific promise the Lord gave was to “release strategies to help you bring the full tithe of your time and energy into the Kingdom.” (For the full post, click here.)
​
This week as I studied, the Lord gave me a strategy to share with you, which I have found immensely helpful. It is the idea of a “mini” Christian prayer retreat. What I will share with you is an adaptation of a plan outlined in Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy’s new book, entitled “Living Forward.” (Click here to preview the book.)

Prophetic Word: Tithe Your Time!

10/12/2016

Comments

 
Prophecy:

Malachi 3 contains a wonderful promise of abundant blessing for those who "bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house." (Malachi 3:10, NKJV.) Israel (in context) and the church of God (by extension) are promised that the windows of heaven will open and there will not be enough room to contain the blessing God gives us economically. I know this to be true, and have seen God bless me personally as He has changed me from tightwad to tither! (You can read some of my financial testimonies here.)

Be a Spiritual Lifeguard

BE A SPIRITUAL LIFEGUARD! New blog post by Deborah Perkins of HisInscriptions.com. Looking at the 5-fold ministry of the church to see how we can learn to watch, and protect the Body of Christ. #Christian #blog #Jesus

Leaders in the Body of Christ are called, among other things, to be lifeguards. Watching is the key function of a prophet or intercessor. Rescuing is a priority for the evangelist. Guarding is elementary for the pastor. Warning is a main component of teaching. Vision is essential for the apostle. Believers in the Kingdom of God are expected to be on guard, or more specifically: to keep watch.
​

My pastor runs a waterskiing ministry at the lake near his church in the summertime. On days when he is alone, the kids know that if he is out on the water training someone, no one swims until he gets back to the dock.

When Jesus needed to amplify His voice, He stepped into a boat and used the water as His "loudspeaker" (Mark 4:1). When God wants to reach the multitudes today, He often broadcasts one message through several different speakers. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but God has been broadcasting the message of GRACE on various channels, from the East Coast to the West. I am hearing about grace everywhere I go!
