Paulette Reed: “I Call You Aligned and Ready for Action”
Mar 12th
Happy Saturday!
I’m so excited about a confirming WORD that was forwarded to me this morning, that I have to share it. As we continue to declare MIRACLES and MANIFESTATION for the month of MARCH 2011, I’m seeing NOW more than ever how important it is to be exactly where you are supposed to be in the SPIRIT and the natural! Our DESTINY relies on this!
With that said, I encourage you to really strategically set your house in ORDER and move swiftly when God says MOVE!
Enjoy and SOAK on this WORD from Paulette Reed as distributed via http://www.elijahlist.com
I’m off to spend some time with my little girlies!
Paulette Reed: “I Call You Aligned and Ready for Action”
by Paulette Reed
Mar 12, 2011
I sense the Body is to move out of conference mode and into GO mode. “Troops” will come together to be trained and equipped in intense boot camps and sent out to intense battlefields, with intense passion for Christ. It’s time for the King’s mighty men and women of valor to ARISE and GO arm-in-arm.
Listen carefully in March for marching orders. For HE is the door of the sheep (John 10:7) and we must have our ears nailed to the door so our hearing is filled with HIS voice. Don’t miss your ordained appointments for commissioning.
Lions and Lionesses Align!
The following word was prophesied at 4 Corners Healing & Conference Center in Pinehurst, TX on February 23, 2011:
The Lord would say, “Align, align, align. I’ve given you time to prepare and now I am calling the troops to action. I have given you My joy, which is your strength. I’ve given you My only begotten Son. I’ve given you the completed work of the Cross. I have given you time which I created – now I want yours. Time, time, time. Say, ‘Yes, Lord!’ There is no more, ‘No, I can’t.’ It’s time to say, ‘Yes, I can. Yes, I can!’ It’s time to believe, ‘I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
“Some of you are being stretched like never before. For this is what you asked for; this is what you prayed. ‘Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge (stretch) my territory.’ So, don’t say no, say yes. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Lose your joy – lose your strength.
“I will bless you, indeed. Two thousand eleven is a year of blessings for those who have aligned. Blessings, blessings, blessings. My blessing, My joy, My strength for My covenant people.
“Arise, army of God. Can you feel Me pushing you? Can you hear your marching orders? Listen and roar, for the scrolls will be opened by the Lion of Judah.”
Listen! Listen to the roar of His voice, to the rumbling that comes from His mouth. He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole Heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. After that comes the sound of His ROAR; He thunders with His majestic voice. When His voice resounds, He holds nothing back. –Job 37:2-4
An Army Aligned
“For those who have been obedient, I call you ALIGNED and ready for ACTION in the army of the Lord.”
What it means to ALIGN:
1. To arrange in a straight line; adjust according to a line.
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. –Isaiah 45:2-3
2. To bring into a line or alignment.
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. –1 Samuel 17:48
3. To bring into cooperation or agreement with a particular group, party, cause [unity].
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one. –John 17:22
4. To fall or come into line.
When the temple was complete, the glory fell [unity] (see 2 Chronicles 5:11-14).
5. To join with others in a cause.
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. –2 Chronicles 16:9

Why I Don’t Recommend Paying For “Magazine” Features
Aug 5th
As one with a Broadcast Journalism Degree who’s worked in TV NEWS, Entertainment NEWS and yep, Christian Media for roughly 19 years, I love observing and analyzing the trends.
And for whatever reason, right now it seems like every week there is a NEW Urban ADVERTORIAL PUBLICATION, hitting the pavement, with a little confusion about how to operate and how to identify the right target audience that will help sustain the publication in this new digital age we live in.
Trust Me when I say, it takes a lot of work, experience and ingenuity to stay around as long as publications like Ebony, Jet, Gospel Today, and Black Enterprise. And these publications do not call someone to request an interview and then ask the subject of the interview to PAY for that feature.
That’s NOT how it works.
However, it seems like every other week I have conversations with popular faith-based Marketplace Leaders who have some FUNKY story to tell about their experience with a Christian-based advertorial magazine publisher, who doesn’t seem to understand the difference between Journalism/Entertainment Journalism & STRAIGHT UP ADVERTORIAL PUBLISHING.
The conversation goes something like this:
Christian Advertorial Publisher: “Hi, Marketplace Leader, I’ve heard a lot about what you’re doing and would love to feature you as a cover story in my magazine”
Marketplace Leader: Great, tell me a little bit more about your publication and I’ll let you know my availability for an interview.
Christian Advertorial Publisher: We publish once a month and feature leaders of faith like you that are making a difference. You can visit our site at www.christianmag.com, plus I’ll send you a few copies in the mail.
Marketplace Leader: Okay great, I look forward to the interview and to reviewing your publication.
About a day or so after the initial conversation, the Marketplace Leader then gets an email similar to this one:
Hi, Mr. Marketplace Leader thanks so much for agreeing to be featured in my magazine. Please decide on which feature size you’d like and then just click here to pay $$$$ for your feature.
EXCUSE ME?
You’ve got to be kidding, right?
Unfortunately, many are not!
That’s right, now all of a sudden I see more and more Christian “advertorial” magazines that appear to be posturing themselves as legitimate Journalistic or Christian Entertainment Publications, when in actuality they are really more like those MONEY PAGES magazines we all tend to throw away every other month.
You know the ones, full of advertisements, yet no REAL content?!
Now, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE reading great magazine features. But the ones I love the most are the ones created with some journalistic integrity. Meaning they don’t do a “switacharoo” on you, after asking to FEATURE you in their magazine.
The great long-lasting magazines that we love to read, are mainstays because of ADVERTISING dollars and READERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS. Yep, that’s right, the advertisers pay big money to advertise in their publications because they know the readership subscriptions are legitimate and can be measured accurately. Those advertisers also know that they are filling a specific need to a specific audience!
One of the best articles I’ve seen on this subject is “ 5 Reasons Why New Magazines Fail”
So, here’s my “2 cents” worth of advice to all you Pastors, Ministry Leaders, and Marketplace Leaders who continue to call me asking whether or NOT you should pay to have a feature piece done on you…
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I’ve been featured in Ebony Magazine, Local & Regional Newspapers and Christian Entertainment Shows and NOT ONCE HAVE I PAID to have the publication “cover me!” And as a former Publisher of a city-wide alternative URBAN entertainment publication, not once did we ask folks to PAY us to cover them!
There are so many media opportunities out here now, that if you invest in a good strategic media & P.R. plan, you might be surprised at where your message will land.
Trust me, if you keep doing what you’re doing and MAKING the right strides, the RIGHT people will see and God will OPEN DOORS THAT NO MAN CAN SHUT, without you having to PAY $$ TO WALK THROUGH THE DOOR.
What are your thoughts & experiences?
