Word of the Lord for the Year 2010   

January 8, 2010

This is a compilation of the Words that the Lord began to share with me in the months of October-December. Those that are in quotes are exactly as it was spoken, others were visions, and others were direct words spoken to me. My prayer is that the content of this word can be worked through and prayed through during the course of this year. However, word study and prayer over these prophetic utterances indicate to me that we are entering into a process for us to ultimately come into the place that God wants us individually, as a body of believers, as kingdom participants of a mighty government as well as those who will enter in this coming year. This is a sober time of seeking Him, knowing Him, and obeying Him. “I will bring divine order out of chaos and turmoil in this year of 2010.

You will see a new movement arising out of the midst of uncertainty and trouble in the land. I will establish my way and establish my covenant before my people, so that they may walk uprightly before me. And I will fully establish my government in the land from kingdom leadership who will do my bidding and follow my mandates, so that the principles that I have established before the foundation of the earth will be fulfilled. You will see in this year greed and avarice reach an all time high in the present government in order to strengthen men positions. But I, the Lord, will establish my righteousness in the hearts of my people. I will bring balance to the government’s hidden agenda with kingdom strategies and kingdom answers. So that what will be lacking in the world’s perspective will be achieved through kingdom directives. So prepare your hearts to do my bidding and to fulfill the assignments that you will walk out as I instruct you in the way you should go.”

Judgment at the House of the Lord:
“I will turn this nation around and I will begin with the leadership in the house of the Lord. There will be those who will no longer continue in ministry, because I will be sitting them down. For I have judged them and assessed them. Some will refuse to obey until they realize that no matter what they do--- they will not be able to continue on, because I have the final say on their ministries and they will no longer be able to accomplish anything because my hand will not be upon them. And there will be those who will live again, preach again, because out of the ashes of their lives I will begin to carve out a new chapter, and they will grow and flourish like a young tender tree with branches extending over and all will eat and be blessed by these trees, because I will reorder and reestablish men’s lives so they can live again, says the Lord. So when you see these things don’t be frustrated, for I will show and direct my people and reveal to them great truths, and it will all make sense. Walk my path, do my will, and let me make you whole”, saith the Lord.

The trouble concerning Israel:
The Lord says, there will be bombings right outside the Gaza Strip so much so that the land will be destroyed and the history of that region will be marred by the anger that was sent out with those bombs---there will be much fighting and bloodshed, but America will arise and befriend her again, so that she can be once more protected, but it will only be temporary---then more destruction will come. More treaties will come later in the year, but the peace will be temporary. “Will you not cry out for her? Will not the frustration of my people cry out for justice, resolve, and peace?” “New leadership will arise out of Israel, and many will believe that they are followers of truth, but it will be the beginning of a great deception coming out of that land that will make way and preparation for the spirit of anti-Christ.”

A fresh wind for Canada.
“Canada shall become a battleground: for there will be a fight amongst principles between those that represent me and those who represent evil. Many will rise to the occasion and fight for rights of the righteous and new standards will be established,” says the Lord.  “A new fresh wind will blow through Canada and the young will usher in my presence.”

America under Judgment:
“And the policies that will be established in this time will only be for the advancement of a few - only benefit a few. For the greed and avarice that is in this land has become corrupt to the core, and they will not change: until they see destruction and mayhem, until there is blood in the streets of a city from the frustration of those who are without food, and anger because there is no justice in the land. Many people have no idea how close the time is. The selfishness of this nation is at an all-time high, and this land will be judged. For I will shift nations and there will be a rising up of a people and a great humbling of another. This will be determined by my righteousness and those who waited on me shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk not faint.”

The first six months of this coming year will carry threats of upheaval and terrorism. “Many will say ‘this is the end’ and great repentance will come forth. Those whom I will anoint will arise and challenge the nations to come unto me and return unto me. During this time, I will come in visitations, dreams, and to those who seek me for instructions; through these encounters many will lives will be changed and transformed.  Out of prayer, revivals will come - true revival - and there will be major breakthrough with miracles, signs, and wonders. Vigils of prayer will increase around the nations and great salvation to the lost will come forth out of this movement of prayer and intercession.” (I saw a vision of a sea of people praying fervently.)

“Concerning the measuring with the plumbline,
[Amos 7:7-8 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the Lord said unto me, Amos what seest thou? And I said A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.] 

In my assessment of this nation, it has been found at fault, and the responsibility lies at the door of the church. Instead of crying out for repentance, there has been too much of doing business as usual; and now in the eleventh hour, all has come before me, and the time for establishing my rule and reign has begun.

Water shortages will run rampant due to the poisoning of water filtering systems with chemicals, and many will perish before it is caught. Security systems are faulty and careless, and as a result many things will happen because of major breeches in the system.

Security will become almost like a police state, and that will become the standard in the land because of the rise of terrorism.” 

“Anti-Christ systems will become present this year in very subtle forms and ways not just through government policies but in takeovers of leadership in various nations. Some countries will wake up to even worst leadership than they have now, only to find out that the nations that they reside in represent a ‘goat’ nation. And other nations will be led by Godly leadership as ‘sheep’ nations. The goat nations will impose more control over the people concerning their livelihood and whom they worship as well as other issues. You will see a rising up of persecution in the church like never before, says the Lord. Nations will rise up and fight against nations, but policies will not be the only issue - but whom each country represents spiritually will be the greatest issue.”

“Chemical weapons will come in the form of new strains and viruses, and a large number of people will be affected in various regions. (I felt that the east would be the first amongst those that would be affected.)

But, the Lord said that He has placed researchers and those in the medical field that will find cures for many of them. There will be a strain that will evolve into a greater strain, which will set fear in the hearts of the people; the Lord will bring us through.” The Lord said that there have already been awesome medical breakthroughs in cancer and cell regeneration in 2009, but the full disclosure of some of these cures have been withheld, so that under the administration of a new system, these cures will be made available at a more valuable price. When, truthfully, they could be cheaper and more readily available to the public. This all has to do with the greed within this nation from leadership that is politically motivated. The medical industry, pharmaceutical suppliers, and the insurance industry all have an equal responsibility in this, because they are also motivated by greed.

A vision of garments: 
I saw a vision of garments of all colors. The Lord spoke to me and said that there will be a gathering, a shifting, and an exchanging of garments in 2010. He told me that the garments represented callings with specific assignments, and had to do with key positioning involving His people. The gathering of the garments will have to do with his people gathering and working in unity, so that divine purposes can be accomplished. The shifting of garments has to do with taking on the new assignments and levels that his people will embark upon this year. The exchanging of garments represent His people completing assignments.  Those that have served their assignments well will now pass their garments onto those who are ready to wear them as they continue to take up the assignments that are given, and in this fashion the work of the Lord will continue. Occupy ‘til I come, the Lord says. New assignments will be given to those who have accomplished their work and passed their test. New rankings, levels of authority and positions, will be given to those who are ready to move forward to take on new assignments.  

The old New Years’ perspective must change:
People are usually eager to go into the new year with the mentality of wiping the slate clean and starting the year anew, but the Lord said this is not so. He said that we will walk into the New Year needing to complete and deal with the things we last worked on in 2009 before embarking on something new. If we haven’t completed old matters, then they will come up again in 2010 and must be set in order.

We won’t receive new assignments until old ones are complete.
So during the first two weeks of January, we should go over everything: do a thorough and complete inventory and tie up all loose ends. Even pray and ask God “Is there something else that I need to complete now, so that I can continue to move on to accomplish your will, Oh Lord?” The Lord said that His grace and overcoming anointing will be there to assist us along the way. And those who are stubborn and refuse to grow and refuse to do the things necessary to move forward will receive stiff consequences and literally some of their worlds (as they see it) will come crashing down.

Our most dangerous enemy will be ourselves.
Allowing our flesh to reign instead of making Jesus our Lord will be our greatest undoing. Our land is about to be judged because of the pride and ego of man refusing to acknowledge the ways of the Lord, and as a result it has come up before Him. They are so-called systems of self. We must be cautious to not fall into the deception of believing our own greatness. For we have no greatness in us other than Christ our Savior. We must keep His teachings and watch revelation that is really deceptively subtle and makes us think that we are great within ourselves.  The elevation of man’s ego is one of the greatest enemies to God. When we determine in our own minds and hearts what we should do without regard for God’s will and word---we build a system within ourselves that will justify our flesh and find reasons to rebel against the plan of God in our lives.

High-Level gang activity
I had several vivid disturbing visions of gang activity and execution-style murders happening in neighborhoods throughout many cities. There were outbreaks of fighting that made being safe on the streets very dangerous business. Most of the fighting was between Hispanics and blacks over territory and illegal activity.

2010, The power of ten:
This year 2010 has great significance. The number means divine order and the Lord revealed to me that there is much revelation within the number ten within the scriptures.

“Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.” (notice the chapter and verse—2010—word of the Lord November 2009) it represents a new order of numbers---perfect numbers lacking nothing, nothing over, it is represented in the system of order---and that everything is in its proper order. 10 commandments, 10 lepers, 10 righteous, 10 passovers in God’s word, 10 generations (which was the age before the covenant before the flood from Adam to Noah). So we are going to see God’s order established in the year 2010. The Lord told me that this would be a year that the government would go through much upheaval before it comes into order, but order will be established in this year. But this is also the year that the government of God will begin to come together and be set in order.

The answer to those who are weary and need direction
The Lord said, “Start over again, and I will help you restore your lives. There is so much to do and very little time to do it. You must forget those things that are behind and reach toward those things that are before --- press for the mark of the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus. I will show you the way. I will give you light and revelation---and I will tell you why you must begin again. Start with your relationship with me and go from there. I will direct you and you will know without a shadow of a doubt that you are going in the right direction. I will open the door and walk you into great favor, so that you can be restored,” saith the Lord. 

Remember December 2009 WOTL words concerning Open Heaven encounters.
For I will open the heavens and even open doors in the heavens to prepare my people a gateway into higher realms of my anointing for healing and deliverance---I will bring hundreds even thousands into the kingdom in one sweep. Look for me and look for my plans for I am beginning to take this land and many other regions by storm (between now and January 2011); and I will pour out my spirit, and I will usher in my people to a new exciting life in kingdom righteousness.

Major people groups and regions will be positioned and prepared for visitations, liberation, and a fresh new move not orchestrated by man but ordained of me, says the Lord. Some of these will be when people least expect it.  I will cover the atmosphere with my presence and they will all know that they have experience time with the Lord. There will be miracles, there will be restoration and the increase of my kingdom shall come, for the time is near, and the work of the Lord shall come forth mightily.  So open your heart and open your eyes, so that you may experience "This new day anointing".

Sounds from the Throne   December 8, 2009
 
Rev 4:1
And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." NKJV
 
"You are askew in your understanding of Me. But take heart, for there is a trumpet sounding forth that will propel you into a greater understanding of who I AM. Each I time I reveal Myself, I call you forth to a greater level of glory by faith. Relinquish your ties to the past and all that tethers you to that place. My voice sounds forth and my voice shakes, reverberates, agitates, and disturbs your current position.
 
Are you uncomfortable? I say that is a good thing - a very good thing. I am taking notice, I am taking soundings of those whose hearts are crying out to me. I am taking soundings of the true depth of dedication to Me and Me alone. They are like those who are cast upon the sea, adrift without a compass and without direction. I have brought you to this place. It is I that has placed you upon the sea. You are unable to see the shore and you are unable to touch the bottom.  You are far from any land and are adrift in the unknown. Again I say this is a good thing. You are traversing the unknown seas.  They may be unknown to you My child, but they are well known to Me.
 
Don't try to touch the bottom for you can't. Don't try to get a direction for yourself for you can't.  In your own wisdom you will never know the way that I am taking you. Be still and know that I AM God. I will breathe upon the waters and under the waters and over the waters and I shall create a wave to propel you forth into the direction I choose for you to go. The seas shall indeed rise under you and you shall hear a sound of agitation as the seas roar under you and around you. But they shall move you and propel you forth. And the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. "
 
This voice, like a trumpet, agitates and resonates into the very being of John the Apostle.  When God's voice sounds forth, things begin to shake and change whatever is in the path of this sound coming forth from the Throne Room. This voice is meant to disturb us and disrupt our life. This voice confronts and challenges and transforms us by its sound. This voice pulls us into itself and our lives implode in the essence of this sound. We are undone in the presence of God and the sound of His voice coming from the Throne Room.
 
Psalm 29:3-4
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. NKJV

Prophetic Insights:

We are approaching some major shifting in this month of November. It is a month of release, a month of acquiring that which was lost or delayed.

It is a time when there will be a balancing of the weights of justice in the sight of the Lord.

God is about to balance the equation of things within the justice system. Within the justice of this world, God is about to execute His righteous judgments. The opposition to the Lord’s standard will not prevail but will be uncovered, exposed, and the present system will not be able to stand in the midst of the shaking political upheavals that are coming.  

Proverbs 16:11 A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work.  

Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.  

The Lord says the Government Systems will be Shaken

I am saying that the governments’ systems and their current state of business have been found wanting, and I will uncover it and deal with it, says the Lord. So, even as you see signs and so-called glimpses of recovery and strength --- there is about to be a greater uncovering and an even greater breaking down in the systems of government. My people have suffered greatly, and the time for accountability has come. During this time, the restoration process shall begin for my people, and you will begin to see a release of the things that have been taken, stolen, and lost. And those who have been tested will know if they passed or failed their testing.   For, not only is this a time of assessment, but a time to deal with that which is false and to also strengthen and uphold that which is true. For, the two shall no longer stand together for the chaff will be separated from the wheat and carried away by the wind of my presence. Even that which has stood for evil (riding upon the high places) as exalted idols shall come down. As the statue of Dagon stood in front of the ark of God and fell upon it’s face, so shall the false idols fall. The people that trusted and even marveled at these images shall see and understand that the truth of God is raising a standard in the land for my righteousness sake.  

The Lord is Purging His People

For I am removing the filthy garments from my people, even as I did with my servant Joshua, for I am causing the iniquity to pass from those who have cried out for change and have carried the shame of past mistakes. I will no longer allow the enemy to accuse and hinder you, for I am covering you with new raiment. You shall no longer feel unable, or incapable, or even inadequate. As you stand in your new raiment, you shall receive my peace, and your new orders, so that the mandate for kingdom advancement will come forth and you will find your true purposes, says the Lord. You shall go forth and gather my sons and daughters and bring them to me, and they shall be whole. For the restored shall restore others, the blessed shall bless others, and the healed shall heal others. Because I am restoring you back to the original place in which I first called you.   
       
The Lord’s Glory Shall Shower Down Upon the People

The glory of my spirit shall shower upon my people like never before, and they shall come into the place in which I am calling them and receive their instructions and obey their God. I will break down the walls and the barriers within the ranks of my people and bring forth a new breath, a new order, a new sound, even a new fresh wind. And my army will come forth and declare great truths, and freedom shall be upon them. The strategies of Kings shall be declared upon the wings of eagles. And a new company of my anointed shall come together to walk out what must be done in the land within these next four months.   I am moving and cross-pollinating my leadership with different giftings and callings and even within certain ranks to come together as one---not titles, not positions, but by relationships they shall come, by humbling they shall come, by love they shall come, and in giving of self they shall come. My sons and daughters shall come---there shall come a cry, and then there shall come a joy that will go up into the heavens like a song. In the midst, I shall remove the scars of the past. I shall piece together lives and hearts, so that my house will be a healed house of prayer for all nations.  

Waves of Terrorism and the Army of God

The wave of terrorism that will sweep over both Europe and the United States will come to set fear in the hearts of those in government, so that the leadership will feel controlled and kept from exerting their authority. But I have prepared those who will cry out to the Heavens, and the army of God shall come forth. So get ready---prepare your hearts, my children---get ready---for the trump is blowing, and the alarm is sounding for the army of the Lord to come forth. The battleground is being prepared and the battle cry shall be echoed across the land, because the revival of the awakening has already begun.  

I hear the gentle cries of intercession, and I want you to know that your prayers, your travail, is changing, shifting, and shaking the land. It is piercing the darkness and opening the heavens.

BE STILL AND BE SOBER   October 26, 2009

Be still and know that I AM God and that I am willing and able to meet all of your needs in and during this coming storm that will sweep this nation of the United States with such an intensity that if you are not rooted and grounded in My word, you will be swept away and beat under like the power of a mighty tidal wave.  But if you have spent the time in My presence, communing with Me, enabling Me to build you up by feasting upon My word, listening to Me, being filled up by My spirit flowing in and through you, and partaking of My love in a deep and profound way, you will be able to use the power which is behind this storm, and allow it to carry you upon it, which will enable your faith to grow by leaps and bounds. 

For this is the day that I will judge My people, for I have forewarned and gave plenty of time to get ready and to repent of your wicked ways, but this nation has chose to go by the way of man rather than to go by My way. Many have listened to the lies of the enemy and chose to go by the arm of the flesh rather than to lean on My arm which is strong and mighty.  And My well never runs dry.  I have ample supply to meet all the provisions of My people.  I own all the cattle that cover a thousand hills.  My mountainsides have abundance of grain and wheat, and My oil never runs dry.  I own an abundance of riches that have never been tapped into.  All you need is My wisdom and  My direction to know what to do in the coming days. 

I have a plan and a purpose in allowing you to face the storms of life especially the coming storm.  You need to know what you are made of before it is too late, because if you don't have a heart filled with My love and peace, you will not make it.  For a heart of bitterness and of wrong intentions will sweep you away by the evil and deception of it.  Repent before it is too late.  Judge your own character, or you will be judged along with the others who will not seek My face.  For a heart of stone and a spirit of selfishness and independence will be your downfall. 

Don't be deceived in believing everything is okay when you see that you are only producing bad fruit.  Are you lying and stealing, or are you being fearful or anxious over everything that you face?  They are all the same. Sin is sin no matter whether you feel it is great or small.  It will all separate you from My presence and open you up to great judgment.  Repent before it is too late.  Cry out for great grace to open your eyes to see what you need to see in your own heart attitudes. 

Today is the day of the great deception in falling away from the Living God who gave His life that you would be free and in escaping from the wrath to come and eternal damnation.  Do not take these things lightly for it is the little foxes that spoil the vine.  Don't become too confident in believing you cannot fall away.  Do not abuse the grace that has been poured out upon you. 

Seek My face and not My hand.  Seek to love and pursue peace with all men.  Be content with all that you have, and be grateful for many do not even have a crust of bread or a bed to lie their head.  Thank Me every day for your great and abundant blessings.  Don't allow the enemy to rob you of this time you have to prepare  Be kind and tender hearted.  Pour out mercy upon all and forgive.  Remember that you have one life to live.  Don't waste it on evil, empty, careless living.  Don't serve idols for they are dead and produce death.  Stand for life for I gave you the choice.  Make it now, to live and not die......to walk in My grace and truth, for this is the day.

Jeremiah 29:13-14: “And ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again  into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. “

Everyone is familiar with Jeremiah 29:11. All of these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah delivered God’s promise to restore the people of Israel after they come out of captivity. The Lord speaks from His heart to their heart - His love and commitment to them as well as their restoration.   I want to point out the 14th verse and share it with you in a spiritual light. The Lord says He will gather them. Allow me to speak this into your spirit today: The Lord says He’s gathering you.

I want to talk to you about being gathered by the Lord. The Lord will collect you from the places where you had bad experiences and good experiences---and because all things work together for the good—these experiences whether they were bad or good are a part of us. We remember, we learn, but the Lord takes away the pain and allows us to look back as a testimony as to how He brought us out. The hows and the whys are revealed to us, so that the unresolved issues can be processed in us, and a “peaceful calm” becomes the balm to cover and heal our wounds.   In the Lord’s dealings with us----he helps us collect ourselves from the places that our lives have been scattered. Our struggles, our sacrifices, our levels of consecrations, our mistakes, our areas of weakness and our misunderstandings are gathered. Some were purged and others were purified in the fire of the Holy Spirit.  

There are places, within those places that we are in now, that the Lord himself has driven us. (Reference the verse above.) These are places of freedom and deliverance, new places of understanding, places of conviction (so that we might reconcile our lives with him), and of course, places of His presence. Places of revelation, discipline, diligence, blessings, favor, and most of all new places in worship and praise, come forth like colors of a rainbow.   When we have been gathered, we gather others. Our gatherings become places that carry an atmosphere for healing those who haven’t experienced that kind of restoration before, and many are renewed and set free.  

So let His promise this week lift you and encourage you to be personally strengthened. Allow Him to gather you and restore you. Allow Him to set in motion the meetings and new connections to others that will lead you into greater fullness and growth. Abide in the new place: the place of His restoration. The place where he catches a hold of you, so that you can get a hold of Him; and there you will find yourself pursuing, pressing, and following after the mark of the prize of the High Calling which is in Christ Jesus.
 

Word of the Lord October 2009  

September 29, 2009   

You must continue to move forward, because like streams of water that do not continue to flow, you can become stagnant and polluted. So you must strive to grow, seek me, and follow me for your direction in all things, and walk in obedience according to the instructions that you receive. Things are rapidly changing around you, for the good but also for evil. Some things are not as visible to the natural eye until they are formed, then these influences are in the atmosphere trying to deceive those who have become lethargic. This is a period of time where you will see much acceleration, and there shall be a great pouring out of prayer. The closer the time approaches, the more you will see what I have spoken in my word, and the quicker the pace will move to fulfill it. When a woman goes into labor, the closer the time becomes for her to deliver, the quicker the birth pangs come until the child is born. These analogies will help you understand the mysteries of this hour.  

There are responsibilities before you that will require quiet prayer time. Hear and know what must be done and for what you in particular are responsible. Everything that is being spoken by the prophets and being fulfilled before you is just the beginning of things to come: from conflicts to confrontations within the nation’s leaders to terrorism and its threats. These things are being revealed outwardly, but covertly there is much more going on than the nation is aware; for there are conspiracies that are about to be uncovered: hidden plots and loyalties within the ranks of government that are set to attempt coups within the very governments they have been placed in to protect. Money, power, and leadership takeovers are at the very foundation.  

This is why you must gather in watchings, in prayer, decree my word and execute righteous judgment in the earth, as I have commanded. For this is the time for the Kingship anointing to rise upon my leaders that are repositioning and preparing themselves for battle, for possession, and for my victory, saith the Lord. For I have prepared the battleground and prepared my warriors to move forward and possess the land. This is not just a season to pray as a result of what is happening, but to pray and avert the very thing that the enemy is about to do. There are several fronts that the enemy is trying to move out on.  

There is complacency with an emphasis on “these times are not serious.”-----“we are at peace and all is well.” Watch for my promptings; be sober-minded. Pray and study the truth of my word. I will reveal to you keys that will not leave you in darkness, for you are children of light and children of the day. For the time is nigh; awake out of slumber my people, and be ready, for there is much that is coming upon this hour and you must be ready. There are those who are being raised up and not only prepared but ready to lead others into the light of my glory.  

There is a spirit of anger and hatred in the land with murder/annihilation at the very root. Many mistakes have been made and instead of each one taking up the responsibility for their brethren and moving forward to make necessary sacrifices and adjustments to bring resolve, there has been frustrations and blaming---and as a result there is little unity within the land. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” This is also going on within My church and the world is now beyond its pressure point. If we are to see love and reconciliation, it must begin within our doors. I am raising up a people who can see through the deceptions and walk forth in My grace and anointing, and the spirit of evangelism shall rise up and many will come in. Many will be changed and transformed and they shall wear My glory like garments.  

I have not seen the kind of compassion that My people should have, and there has been a heartless view upon some of those who could do the most help. This selfishness will try to hinder the strategies that I am establishing in this hour, but I am shifting things and I am raising up. I am moving and bringing forth resources, finances, and those who can be trusted to distribute great seeds; and my work will be accomplished and crisis will be managed by kingdom remedies. It shall come forth with love and favor and deal with the evils of the day.                        

So come before me. Seek me with your whole heart---don’t allow the spirit of the world to pollute your spirit--but keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life: the life that I give to you, so that you will continue to grow and become what I have called you. Behold, today is a day of reconciliation. Come forth in repentance. Come forth in allowing my deliverance to change and transform your life. Walk out my word with the understanding of your importance and place in the things to come---ready to reform that which must change and to eliminate that which can’t continue, (which are the seeds of destruction that have been watered by the evils of this time.) You shall overcome and shall be victorious.  

Prophetic Insights: The Lord spoke to me about the importance of studying Jude very closely and carefully. We have placed a caution on our website for several months about storing up water and food supplies, but the Lord reemphasized the water and said we need water for consumption stored up and water for washing and cleaning as well.

All Is Being Perfected

In a vision recently I saw Jesus hand me a book and this book had a huge gold number seven in the center of the book. I enquired of the Lord what this book was, and the Lord spoke to me saying that this was a book containing the details of the seasons many within His Church are walking through right now….but what was overshadowing this season was the number seven….meaning.. Perfection!!! That He is using difficult seasons and circumstances right now to perfect characters, hearts and bring Glory to His name.

I submit to each of you the message I felt the Lord shared with me:

My beautiful Church, I am speaking to many of you who are walking through seasons and circumstances different to your expectations, seasons and circumstances that have been so difficult that hope has almost been stolen. Encouragement, zeal and determination seem far from each of you.

I am encouraging each of you that I am working out each part of the season and circumstance in your life to bring about My perfect will as you continue to seek Me and surrender to Me.

There is nothing that happens to each of you that is out of My hands or My control. In all things I am orchestrating things for My Glory and for your best. Many of you are finding yourselves in places where you simply cannot fathom or understand what is happening and what My plans and purposes are for this season.

I am using this season to refine your character, to shape your hearts and make you more like Me. For it is in the hardship that you are refined to pure gold. I am also using this season and various circumstances within each of your lives to develop DEEP trust within your hearts for Me.

For there will be times upon this earth that things will be so uncertain it will be the hope and strength of My people trusting in the goodness of their God, that will be like a shining light to this world.

There has been much doubt within My Church, in the hearts of My people about My goodness, My faithfulness and My compassion. Circumstances and seasons have constantly stolen the joy of knowing Me as your good, faithful, compassionate and loving God.

I long to pour My love over each of you in such a way that you will be completely immersed and drowned in My Glory and love for each of you.  Do not be discouraged, dismayed or disappointed My people but be encouraged knowing that I am bringing about My perfect and GOOD will in each of your lives right now. My Glory is being revealed and My plans and purposes will be demonstrated to all, and each of you will see the perfection of My hand at work in your lives.

No matter how it feels..nothing is out of control…all is in My hand..And I am working perfectly to create beauty in your life, even when you feel it is only full of ashes. My amazing love for each of you will be demonstrated to each of you at deeper levels now…Receive!

Current Chaos Will Produce God's Order

Clay Sikes     September 03, 2009  

The level of chaos and disorder running rampant in the remnant is almost laughable. Everywhere I turn, in speaking with other members of the Body, I find the same thing – people going through hellish circumstances. And yes, we can laugh at the devil when we accurate know what is really going on. Many of these same fine folks once walked in blessing and visible favor, yet now have had their lives turned upside down through one adversity after another. Take heart O Saint! There is Divine Design is what is happening, even down to the financial meltdown and subsequent crisis the country is now experiencing.  

For some years, accurate prophetic voices have seen and spoken of the next great move of God. We have, in the past, seen great moves of healing, teaching, evangelism, and preaching. Some of these ‘moves’ have names and dot the landscape of our spiritual history; yet now, there is emerging move, a move for the Ages! The next great move of God is “The Kingdom.” The Kingdom is coming upon the earth with Kingdom evidence and Kingdom power as God is truly contrasting His own from those who are not. God is interfering in the affairs of men to bring them into His Power and His Glory for His ‘Kingdom’ purpose. Out of our chaos will come God’s order, as the ‘refining process’ is doing its work of producing individual and corporate order in the true remnant Body of Christ. How will a man receive the Kingdom of God…through much tribulation (Acts 14:22). There is no other way to find Kingdom purpose without test and trials. Those the Lord loves (has great purpose for), He chastens.  

The current difficulties the world is experiencing, and our individual struggles are a sign of the Kingdom’s emergence upon the earth. Many steeped in religion today do not understand this incredible point, as they simply see God as good, which He most definitely is, but their understanding of ‘good’ is linked to surface blessing only. Many classically eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and are quick to recognize the ‘evil’ side of the tree, but have little understanding of the deadly ‘good’ side of this fruit. God is indeed good, but all good is not God. We classically measure God’s goodness to us based upon our understanding of ‘good.’ My bank account is full – “Good.” What if the bank account is empty? Is that bad? Maybe through this adversity one learns the meaning of prayer and faith, or learning to hear and completely depend on God. The Kingdom of God is “peace, righteousness, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

These attributes cannot be gained by any other means than through the Holy Spirit, and often come with a price - adversity. Dennis Peacock, a noted Christian writer and speaker from California, has often said that he didn’t desire to walk with anyone in the things of the Spirit who didn’t walk with a limp. We must go ‘through’ in order to get ‘to,’ and the journey can be a challenge.  

So, take heart O Saint; especially those who are going through deep trials, cumbersome existence, and grand feelings of disjointedness. You are part of the emerging Kingdom of God. Laugh at the devil; for soon you will see the hand of God as never before.

ANGELA GULARTIE   September 7, 2009 

      "I AM bringing a season of great change, greater than you have ever known, upon the earth.  It is not just a time when I have been silent so that My prophets would intercede for the Church.  It is a time when I have been silent that My prophets would have a space, a season of time, where they could relinquish the old and transition into the new.

     (Part of) your job assignment as My prophet is to impart into the lives of those people that I send to you.  You cannot impart into their lives when you insist on clinging to the old; it is your job to impart the new that I am preparing.

     The time is coming when there will be two kingdoms both present on earth. There will be those who live and move and breathe in the power of My Kingdom here on earth.

     Those who do not will live in the kingdom of hell on earth. Your job as My ambassadors is to take the power of My Kingdom and to intersect with those trapped in the kingdom of hell on earth.  This intersection will cause violent confrontation. The presence of My Spirit will provoke a violent reaction from the principalities and powers of hell which seek to reign on earth. Be not afraid, but do not stop advancing.

     Old and outworn religious structures must fall away, whether those structures exist in the mindsets of My people or the institutions of the world.

     The enemy has had his finger upon the pulse of your Kingdom growth and it is for this reason he has sought to kill you both from within and without, even to surrounding you with fire and seeking to pollute the very air that you breathe.

     Now, I am sending a wind that will clear out the corruption and pollution that has defiled your land.  Those responsible for injustice will begin to be called to account.  Those who wreak havoc on the widows and children will be toppled from their thrones and trampled underfoot just as Jezebel was trampled underfoot.  I AM setting new leaders into position and they will be leaders of righteousness and strength. Those who participate in financial swindling will have their sins revealed.  I, the Lord, am loosing a REVEALING WIND that will unlock the secrets of those who have profaned My Name.  I WILL REVEAL the hidden treasures of darkness."

Word for September 2009

8/28/2009 You are about to see my glory come upon you in order to help you through the more difficult times of this season. For the time of awakening has come. You will receive the grace of my glory moving in your life. It will assist you in finding answers, give you divine direction and increase the understanding of my wisdom that you will need to walk through situations and circumstances as they present themselves before you. I am releasing this grace of my glory upon you so that you may access that which I have placed in you that will along with this grace help you overcome the works of resistance that have been trying to hinder your progress. There have been traps of illusions that have attempted to keep you from believing the truth of my word and from understanding the life that I have given you to overcome these hindrances.
 
Know that in this time of testing, as you come through I will strengthen you, enlighten you, and restore you during even the most uncertain days ahead. So wait on me—and stay before me, so that I may direct your steps and maneuver you through the troubled areas that will come up in your life. Know that all these things are ultimately working for your good. I am working for your success and deliverance from all things that are hindering your maturity and growth process.
 
I am calling you; and as you answer in your heart, in your walking uprightly, and in your availing your life before me, know that you will fulfill my calling, says the Lord. So don’t faint when you see adversity, but place your life in my hands, walk strong, and pray for revelation -  and you will know the purposes of why and how things are about to unfold. You will be guided by my presence and you will be at peace with where I am taking you.
 
The next 26 days (from August 27th to Sept 20th) there will be some significant changes and challenges that will be coming upon the land. You must be prepared, ready, and prayed up to deal with the things that this land must face. Pray around the confrontation that is about to face this nation, and pray that my wisdom will come upon the leadership of the land. Because decision must be based upon the wisdom that comes from heaven and not which comes from the egos of man. Much is at stake, and divine timing is key to everything right now.
 
So arise and receive the grace of my presence. Arise and work out your relationships with others. Arise in your walk of righteousness and holiness. Allow my light to direct you. Listen and hear the truth that will be declared in this hour. This is a time when deception is going to be broken off the minds of people, and the scales shall fall from the eyes of those who have been beguiled by false teaching, false leadership, failed emotional reactions, and unfounded prejudices.
 
For I will uncover systems within systems that were set up by worldly pride and the spirit of selfishness that only cares for it’s own well-being and not for the good of all. So open your eyes as I uncover divisive plans and hidden plots within governments that are being set in place to execute evil through the land. Major world leaders will be forced to show their true character to the astonishment of those who were naïve and were not aware of the level of satanic influences that are staging traps and snares which they previously operated in a more covert manner before, and now are boldly declaring who they represent in the earth.
 
So be on guard, watchmen. Pray through this hour, and prepare spiritually to draw from the place of presence and from the power of my word, so that you will be able to lead with wisdom and understanding - having the proper discernment. For my truth will not only lead you and instruct you in this hour, but will guide you through uncharted territory of the months ahead.
 
This is a time when the strategies of Kings will be released. All of these things are coming upon the land because the travail of the nations has begun, and you are about to see the coming together of the manifestation of My army and the glory of My government will arise to take their positions. As these days approach, there will be direction in the midst of trouble and My way made in the midst of confusion. Be on guard and watch as these coming days unfold, and my anointed shall arise from their place; for this is the awakening that I speak of that is now, saith the Lord. And in the travail of the nations---there will be earthquakes, tremors and great shakings.
 
And there shall be blankets of prayers covering the regions that will come from the mouths of my people as they unify and gather in prayer. They shall cry out as one.
 
And in this hour I will anoint marriages and there will be reunions, reconciliation, and rekindled romances where there has been weariness in marriages; for there will be a breaking of the strongholds that have tried to hinder and destroy marriages. Many shall live again and love again. Families shall come together and be restored.
 
And I will open avenues and pockets of resources so that my plans of preservation for my people will be implemented and established. This will not be finances released for the sake of building one’s own personal wealth, but I am placing resources in the hands of those who will reach out to others and implement plans of survival, places of refuge, and food-for-life projects.
 
I have heard the cries coming out of Arizona—they are the cries of an abandoned people from tribes who once gave life to that region, and now they are restricted to only a portion of what their ancestors worked so hard for; and now, they are crying out for help. Will you not help her? 
 
Prophetic Insights:
There is so much ground to cover, so I reserve my comments for a future time. I will say, if there was ever a time to get before the Lord: it is now. There are things that are forming and circumstances that are storming that require deep levels of prayer and intercession. Watch dates, and hear the call to those who have been called to be a part of this end-time movement (which pretty much means ALL OF US at some level in some form of responsibility). This is why we must pray and meditate the scriptures and read Matthew 24 and understand what is about to unfold—we must see that God’s word prepares us for much of what we are going to see in these next three years. The major question is “Are we ready?” The answer is “God is, and we will be when the time comes.”

The Valley of Lost Destinies (An excerpt from chapter 7 of Timothy's book, "It Is Finished!")

The date was November 21, 1984. Known by astronomers as D-Day – 24 hours before the great solar eclipse of November 22, 1984 – but for me it was a date of angelic visitation. As the sun was beginning to set over the skies of Central Oregon, I was unaware that within 24-hours the heavens would be blackened by a total solar eclipse. Although I would never see the eclipse with my physical eyes, on November 21 at exactly 7:14 PM I was caught up into the heavens and shown a different kind of eclipse which would leave a permanent mark on my memory. I was shown an Eclipse of Lost Destinies. After being taken by the angel of the Lord into a vast place in the heavens which could only be described as a valley or graveyard of lost destinies, a great sadness came over me as I saw the sun in its brilliance setting in the beautiful evening sky, suddenly darkened by an eerie shadow which consumed the light. As the sun was blackened, I saw a very precious destiny of one of the souls of men fall from its place in the heavens, and the angel of the Lord cast it into outer darkness.

As my eyes fixed upon the eerie place of lost destinies, it appeared to be a great valley which was totally consumed by darkness. What a terrible thing to behold the Valley of Lost Destinies, where the sons of men had traded their eternal birthright for a cup of soup. In this valley were great gifts, songs, inventions, callings, assignments, missions, and a myriad of destinies which were not accepted by the chosen recipients. Every destiny which was rejected broke the heart of God, and it grieved Him so much to remove the destinies from his chosen sons and daughters; pearls of great price given by the Creator, rejected and thrown back into the face of God. How foolish it is to try to take charge of our own destiny without asking God for help and instructions.

Every son and daughter of God is unique, and has been given their own destinies and callings in the earth, but many live their entire lives without taking the time to ask God WHO they are and WHAT their destiny and eternal birthright is – then suddenly, without warning, there comes a point of no return – if the destiny is not embraced by a certain date it is lost forever. D-Day IS APPROACHING! PLEASE DO NOT DELAY! If you are reading this word it may be your final warning – IT IS NOT TOO LATE to take counsel from heaven and to amend your ways and fulfill your destiny in the earth. II Chronicles 7:14 – "If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land."

TRUE DESTINY VERSUS FALSE DESTINY

The closer you get to launching out into your true destiny, the greater the resistance from the enemy you will encounter. Often, the enemy will use other people whom you trust to try to control your destiny, and offer you as counterfeit destiny which seems much more appealing. For the instructions of God make no sense to the natural mind, and must be followed solely by faith – compelling us to sail down a river which has not yet been charted – yet God created the river and directed its course from the beginning of time. Do not let others control your destiny, but let the wind of God’s Spirit be the sole driving force of your ship.

STORM CLOUDS ARE YOUR FRIEND

The trial you have been going through has not caught God off-guard – for the storm clouds have been sent from the treasuries of heaven. Your destiny is about to be accelerated by the hurricane-force winds released by the breath of God. The trial you are now going through will soon pass, and your ship will land on the shores of a beautiful new land created just for you. You are about to pass through the worst of the troubled waters, and the only thing lost in the raging waves will be excess baggage and counterfeit destiny. Embrace the calling which God has upon your life, and throw yourself into the loving hands of God’s mercy, for the storm you are now passing through will soon come to an abrupt end. Lift up your eyes and behold the peaceful horizon – the eclipse has now passed away – you are now about to enter into God’s pre-ordained plan and destiny for your life. "BEHOLD! I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!"

Note: The above is an excerpt from Timothy's new book, "IT IS FINISHED!"

Blessings,

Timothy Snodgrass

August 11, 2009

Now listen as I tell you the truth: change is coming, cataclysmic change. Now is the time to position yourself on the wall to report those changes to the body of Christ. Now is the time to heighten your hearing, to sharpen your vision, to revive your alertness.
    How will you do that? By staying in the Word, praying in the Spirit and seeking Me to ask "What's going on?" I will do nothing without revealing it to My servants, the prophets, so they can speak and warn the people, the sheep of My hand.
    So I say to the prophets and the prophetic people who follow the prophets, Heads up! Look and listen. Watch. Hear carefully. And then with awe and wonder, with great respect and care, report to your brethren what is happening. Say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God.

Isaiah 40:9  Oh, you who bring good tidings to Zion, get thee up to the high mountain . . . lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

 

A Window of Mercy

July 30, 2009

(Note: the year 2009 is a window - a time both of mercy and justice. God's mercy is bringing to our awareness sin issues that we must judge in ourselves. Then we must ask the Spirit to change us. The window will close, and justice alone, with its accompanying retribution, will follow.)

"Morning after morning" I will root out evil. This speaks of the morning of the Third Day. It speaks of a fresh start. God's justice comes from His mercy. He wishes that none should perish. So He warns harder and harder, sterner and sterner.    
    His "mercies" are new every morning. On this morning of the Third Day He will cause you to judge yourself and amend your ways. His mercy in this will keep you from the retribution of justice unleashed in this hour.
    Receive His discipline. He wants to protect you and keep you from His wrath, the wrath to come to impenitent hearts. He promised the Philadelphian church (Rev. 3:10) to keep them safe in the time of trouble. Well, heads up! This is that hour and His Spirit is pressing hard on you to change your ways, cast off the old nature and to walk in His truth, that is, the truth embodied in Christ Jesus, the new nature in Christ.

Psalm 101:1, 8  I will sing of mercy and justice . . .  Morning after morning I will root up all the wicked . . .

Ephesians 4: 22, 24  Strip yourselves of your former nature . . .  24 And put on the new nature created in God's image in true righteousness and holiness.

Pray for an Army of Intercessors 

Go thy way knowing that perilous times are upon us. Large-scale movements of God are opposed by large-scale works of the enemy. Battle looms not only in the Spirit but also in the natural. Will men have the will to fight?
    The times are perilous. I will move on you to pray, and your prayers will prevail and effect much good. You must pray now for God to raise up an army of intercessors, to train them and make them ready for war. This is a move of the Spirit which must itself be birthed in intercession.

The Spirit Of The Lord says,
    The degree that you are yielded to Me and My plans for you, is the degree that I can use you. You have judged Me unfairly because when you see a completely yielded vessel move in signs and wonders in the Kingdom, operating on a higher plane of their destiny.   While on the other hand you yield only a fourth of yourself to My ways tying My hands to flow freely in your life, you become upset and angry that I do not use you to the same degree as the totally yielded one. I will still multiply the seed that you give to Me and much more will be given back to you. So, I Am waiting on your response.

   To whom much is given, much more is required. I still require of all My people to be a yielded vessel, in order to be unhindered by the obstacles of a stubborn and resistant vessel. So if you want to see Me move more on your behalf, then yield to Me more, not only in the limelight of ministry, but in your everyday life. Your everyday walk is where true character is being formed. Do not judge Me as unfair, when it is you going day by day without acknowledging Me to direct your days in wisdom. Day by day you choose your own way and exalt your plans above mines. Yet, you desire to move in the supernatural ways without yielding your everyday living to Me. This is not an intermittent relationship, on again and off again, we must have a complete and totally dedicated relationship. I must be involved in the intricate and intimate details of your daily existence. Then and only then  will your life be truly lived for Me. Then and only then will you walk in all that I have for you.

   Remember I Am faithful to perform all of My Word concerning you. Now you must be faithful, since We are in covenant together. Or at least allow Me to help you become faithful. Do not look to the left of to the right, do not look at the relationships that I have with others. Let us develop a personal relationship. I Am developing you into faithfulness as you yield to the forming of My Word.

   I Am asking you, will you yield and become yielded in every facet of your life? Will you let me tear down the walls of hardheartedness and indecisiveness that have hindered your full cooperation with Me? 

  Understand that so many times I have spoken into your life, so many Words that you have minimized in your heart. You did not know the value of walking out that Word.You did not know that it was the key, yes the key of obedience that would open to you doors to the new horizon, to walking and living in the heavenly realms. Hear and obey ,brings great recompense of rewards. Hear and obey.

A Time of Acceleration 

The Lord says I am doing a great acceleration in these days. I desire to move you ahead expeditiously into the calling that I have for you. Do not be afraid to move forward with great acceleration in what I have for you. I want to fine-tune your hearing to hear My voice with clarity. Listen for My voice and My leading as I open up your ears to hear the direction of the Holy Spirit. I have many gifts that I desire to release to you. I desire to speak to you in the daytime and in the night seasons. I desire to speak to you in dreams and visions and reveal My plans and purposes to you. Seek My face diligently because those who seek Me shall surely find me. I desire to abide in your midst, to walk with you, to talk with you just as I did with Adam in the garden. Allow me to be in your every day affairs, to be with you on your jobs, to be with you in the marketplace, to be with you in your homes and your families. Make Me part of your daily life. Seek Me diligently, seek My voice in this time of acceleration. Give Me with your whole heart as I am about to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all you ask or think. Stay in that intimate communion with Me so that the process of acceleration will not be hindered as I move you forth into what I have for you. Your anointing will increase and your place of ministry will be enlarged and will expand as you move forth into what I have for you says the Lord.  

Isaiah 54:2 - 3
Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.

HD Christianity ~ No More Rabbit Ears 

Today is June 12th, 2009, a day that will go down in history as every analog television was switched over to digital.

The Lord gave me this word a few weeks ago. It is time that Christians get rid of the old rabbit ears and get a spiritual upgrade because we are entering a season of High definition Christianity. It is obvious that technology dominates our lives today more than it has in any other time in history. Just about every home in America has a television and a computer as technology is continuing to accelerate at an astounding rate. Every television across America is now required to have a cable box, satellite dish or some kind of converter with this new digital technology and without it you can no longer receive any reception on the television. The old analog systems are no longer effective and our old roof antennas are of no value.

As I was listening to this new technology I received this revelation. Just as the DTV will provide dramatically clearer pictures with incredible precision and better sound quality, the Holy Spirit is releasing an unprecedented spiritual upgrade with clarity and a new sound to those who are ready to receive it.  New mantles, callings and gifts are being released to the body of Christ. It’s about time that we rise up, come out of our religious mentality and live this high definition Christianity. The old rabbit ears will not work for us any longer. He who has ears let him hear. 

1 Thessalonians 1:5
For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. 

We are called to do awesome exploits and have been given authority against the kingdom of darkness. Spiritual interests are at an all-time high. The world is turning to psychics and fortunetellers rather than the church because we are not doing what we were called to do. We are not being the salt and light that we are called to be.  We have the real power and therefore we must rise up and take our position as the mighty army of God that we are called to be. 

Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 

The key is to get to know the Holy Spirit in such an intimate way so that you can walk in the anointing that He has for you. You are created in Gods image and He has given you authority in Jesus name. Not one of us should be living a mediocre life in Christ. In the same way that the televisions have improved through satellite and high definition technology you should be asking the Lord for a major spiritual upgrade. Ask Him for more clarity in hearing His voice, more profound visions and dreams, keener discernment, clear cut wisdom and revelation, and to be used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

1 John 2:20
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 

Don't look at what the enemy is doing in the natural, which is so evident. Fix your eyes on Jesus who is calling every one of us to come up into a greater dimension of His Glory. We are coming into an incredible time in the history of Christianity. 

Hebrews 5: 14
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The Keepers Of The Coming Flames

Andy Sanders

May 14, 2009

"So on that day Moses swore to me, 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.'"—Joshua 14:9

A Vision of Holy Fire

The Lord recently released a vision to me relating to parts of the earth that had been destroyed by natural disasters. He showed how this devastation turned from a natural disaster into a Spirit-burning fire within the hearts of people and into many parts of the world. The holy fire began to burn bright in areas that were once physically devastated. 

In the spirit, one could hear the sound of these infernos roaring like a lion as the flames shot a great height into the skies. This brought a spiritual beacon for many to know where to go and to take their next steps of faith. Before this, people were wondering what the next path would entail for their lives. Once the light of God's presence burned higher over the skies of these devastated lands, they began to walk right into their next destination.

There were many people, in these once devastated areas, that were still holding on, waiting to encounter the promises of God's words once spoken. These prophetic words spoken over them were about to come to pass. People throughout the land were once again reminded of what God said He would do for them. These remembered promises, once again, brought excitement in the air. 

While the spiritual fires began to burn bright over these once ravaged lands, the promised words exploded into the hearts of the people, bringing much needed encouragement for this hour. The spiritual climate over the lands during this time also erupted like volcanoes, decreeing righteousness and grace for the people in these areas.

The Coming of the Unknown Prophets Changed the Climate

"And Elijah said to Ahab, 'Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of heavy rain.'"—1 Kings 18:41

Powerful prophets and ministries started to fill the earth, heralding new words from God through these once devastated lands. Some of the prophets who passed through these areas had no name or fame, yet they spoke with great authority and years later people would still remember their words. 

All of these unknown prophets and the events that began to unfold over the land were appointed by God. Each one would often "hear the sound" of the fire before it had begun. This was just like Elijah who heard the sound of rain before a single drop even fell to the ground. These heralds were called for one reason as they passed through the land: they told the people in the area that a new kind of fire was about to burn. 

There were many acts of grace on these Christians so that even the unsaved loved to hear what they had to say. The power on these individuals was love and favor, and these two keys were used as weapons to change even the hardest of hearts in that territory.

"When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, 'The LORD—He is God! The LORD—He is God!'"—1 Kings 18:39

A great season of salvation moved into the lands and many became born again. It was as if the fish jumped into the Believer's very own boat. This was fishing made easy! It was an unprecedented time for souls to be saved. 

Fire in the Older Generation Burned Stronger than Ever Before 

"As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight."—Psalm 16:3

The elderly all over the world in this hour received an abundance of God's authority and power. With this in mind, many of the elderly began to push past the enemy's schemes and tricks and right into the forefront of what God was releasing on the earth. The enemy lost ground in this coming season because the elderly stepped forward.

Once the elderly in the Body of Christ moved ahead, the entire Kingdom advanced. The efforts of these brought a renewed flame to the once devastated lands. During this time, strength increased in the elderly and this created a new hope for others who followed along behind them.

Many elderly Christians think, in their older age, that their time was ending and they were not useful anymore. Those in the world's society may even attempt to say that their lives are over; that they are done. Too many times the elderly of our lands are pushed aside, and to some, they are not even valued as an asset toward life anymore. 

God says in this season that He will honor the works and efforts of the elderly in the land. The Lord is saying to the elderly in this time, "You are just beginning, and now I will use you more than I have used you in the past. It is through the power of your prayers that I will turn devastation into restoration."

The sweat and tears that have fallen from the faces of the elderly will turn into flames of fire and times of joy. Those who sowed in tears will LEAP with a renewed joy. Through the prayers of the elderly in this hour there will be hidden portals into the heavenly realms now revealed. Many saints have cried out to God saying, "I want to see Your outpourings before I die, Lord. I want to see this promised fire before I take my last breath."

The Lord says, "In this moment, the new fire blowing over the earth will begin for your eyes to see. I will honor your hard-earned efforts." Then the Lord said to the elderly of the lands, "I am God, who keeps His promises. That which I say will come to pass."

A New Era of Equipping for the Future Generation 

"'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills.'"—Amos 9:13

Then the Lord showed me how the flames in some of these once heavily-damaged regions eventually burned so hot that they started sparking into distant lands in other parts of the earth. Within a short time, there were massive spiritual infernos burning in every country of the world. 

Every part of the world was touched by a new level of release found in the increase of equipping those that were coming into "future leadership" upon the earth. The transition was marvelous from one generation to the next, and this time it continued on because the wisdom and integrity of the elders kept the flames burning.

There were none who were spiritually fatherless in this coming equipping release. True authority was upon the younger leaders because they understood exactly who they were in Christ, and they were totally free. That freedom was rooted in the fact that the elderly stood their ground and watched over the upcoming, future generations of the earth.

These fresh and spiritually "mature fireballs" that were released out upon the earth were the equippers to prepare for the coming harvest. They are the flames of the Kingdom that are called to create a stable platform for others to safely learn to walk on. It is their patient and compassionate efforts that will one day allow a whole Body of Believers to fly like eagles on their own. 

Through the determination and leadership of these saints, the era of a whole new way of equipping will soon be ignited in the earth, allowing those that walk behind their leaders to one day walk safely on their own. These are the keepers of the coming flames.

VISION: "JUST ONE ROAR of the LION" -by S. Jha.

I saw this vision on the 22nd of August 2006 I saw a Lion. I walked with Him to a very high Rock. The Lion then Climbed the Rock, and Stood on the very top of this high Rock. I stood below, looking up at Him. He let out a LOUD ROAR. And EVERYTHING in the atmosphere / universe changed. In a flash I had a 360 degree vision, and what I am about to relate happened in a flash, but I spent the whole of the 22nd of August, just waiting on God to see in `slow motion', what I had seen in a speedy flash, and understand what I had seen. I was told that my mind could not grasp the vastness of the changes I saw in the Vision.

So I stayed at home, and did not take up any duties but spent the whole day, off and on, every few hours just re-visiting this vision and seeing it unfurl in more detail, now at a speed that I could cope with. I don't think I have ever seen such a lengthy vision, condensed into a 360-degree vision flash before. Frame by frame this is what I saw: I saw Empires fall, and wars begin. I saw that where previously, formulas and general understanding were proven, it did not work any more, where there were people and places overflowing with money one moment, the next morning the moneyed had nothing. I saw many `proven' thoughts, and ways now nullified. I saw that the balance was tipped in favor of the East. I saw Angels who had been working in the North and Northwest, recalled and sent East. I saw children snatched out of the hands of some of the parents. Fresh food stopped in the western area and was diverted to the East. The fertile became barren and the barren became fertile. All this, from Just One Roar of the Lion. I saw 3 long lines of writing in the sky. It read: Lost, Lost, Lost. But below, it I saw the word: Gain , gain, gain....where this line ended I could not see, as it just continued on, endlessly.

I saw that the East gained money, food, etc. The losses were loss of power, prestige, money, position. I saw: Where a soldier stood to load his gun, to shoot, even the last single bullet he had was taken away. Where a soldier stood ready for packing his gun, where truce had been declared, divine bullets loaded his gun, and led him to shoot. In the Universe, expected cosmic events were diverted and unexpected ones were brought forth. Deserts bloomed, greenery was made barren. Light that had focused on the West, now moved East. This was so sudden that it was like saying."One morning I woke up, and all was changed". (Scripture: Amos 3: 8: ) The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy? The Lion has Roared. Dark clouds disintegrated from one place and gathered in another. Whilst there was a West to East exchange on a large level, on individual levels there were changes too. Everything, everything, everything, was changing. All this from, Just One Roar of the Lion. Just that One Roar, and things from here, were flying there and vice versa. People/ Nations, who had got used to a way of life/of thinking, were in for either a shock or a surprise. CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE.

The hungry were fed, and the fed, went hungry. All opposites were happening. Many homeless were housed, and many of those with homes became homeless. Light became dark and dark became light. Whatever the present situation, the opposite was happening. Many rich became poor and many of the poor became rich. All this, from Just One Roar of the Lion. Clouds that were meaning to rain, suddenly disintegrated and it rained elsewhere, where least expected. People were in puzzlement. They said to themselves, "but I thought.." No, nothing would be as "I thought. " Many were saying, "But it always worked this way". Now no more.

For those who said, "It's never worked for me," they were surprised to know that it will, now. Heralds blew trumpets, proclaiming: " End of empire, end of empire". Anyone who had been a Specialist, Monopolist, the kingpin in any area of his life/business, now that would begin to end. Nations that had empires or aspirations building towards it, would now see the beginning of the end of those empires. Nothing was the same. Everything, everything had changed. Just One Roar Of The Lion. And He Has Roared. Empty pockets were filled, the filled emptied. Strategic changes were taking place. Whatever had worked like clockwork would not work now. People of peace were making war, and warring nations calmed down. For the warring nations it was like the wind was taken out of their sails. Just as Egypt, Persia, Babylon, Rome, Britain etc were all once super powers/empires, but their reign and era ended, so now any `super power' or aspirations thereof, was being diffused. Nations that were looked up to were now beginning to be looked down upon and vice versa.

Balance of power and favor had shifted East. Angels in the West, held Gold Books. One book was titled "Most Wanted", the other, "Most Favored". `The Most Wanted' Book had living photographs of the most evil people, the traitors etc. Each one was dealt with and disposed. The Most Favored, in the other gold Book with living photographs, were some of those, who had lived through most desolate conditions, such were lifted up. (All that is related here, remember, was happening all at once.) In the midst of all this, I heard the Angels sing: Glory, Glory, Glory. Time was sped up in some places, in others, it was slowed down. Wild beasts were all crouching in fear, afraid. I saw the milk inside of cows curdle. Just One Roar Of the Lion. I saw Eagles, fitted with miniature bells. The bells were so minute, it was hard to believe that if they rang any could hear. Eagles did not speak, they just carried the bells that were fitted to their beaks. People were to `read' the sounds. Wheresoever the Eagles flew, to some the ringing of the bells was as a very high, deafening pitch. I was not allowed to hear this high pitch sound, but it was revealed to me, that it was an unbearable/ deafening high pitch sound.

But there were others who heard the same bells, which the Eagles had attached to their beaks, and to these the sound transmitted was different. It was sheer music. I heard this. Such people, had their hands lifted high and they were happily sighing and exclaiming, "Finally!" I saw Angels collect gold crowns from those in the North, and they dipped the crowns in a smoky place (the kind of smoke one sees with dry ice), and when the crowns emerged from the smoke, they looked exactly the same, but now they were silver. No matter in which direction I looked all had changed. It seemed that the very nature of nature changed. Volcanoes that were dormant, the ashes were removed, and a new fire was lit in them. It seemed that certain species, suddenly became extinct. Reams of paper fell from the sky; paper and pens were sent down, for Chroniclers and Historians, for it was going to be a busy time for them. Nothing of all creation was left untouched, at Just One Roar of The Lion.

Outside, the earth looked still, but within were rapid-fire changes. Quick, sudden, some were devastating, others surprisingly favorable, but this favor was mostly for the East. I saw what looked like a flight-path that normally airlines describe on their brochures, as routes of flights/destinations. For prophets, their flight -paths were moved from here to there, as if randomly, but it was not random, it was the Plan of God for prophets. Prophets will be suddenly moved, and see things from a new vantage point. I saw some people become tar, whilst others became fountains of water. Just One Roar Of The Lion. Many changes took place in the Universe. On earth, snows of old melted, and water in unlikely places froze. It is no ordinary thing, when the Lion Roars. Those dressed warm in the winter, had their clothes taken away, they were left naked. But the naked street-dweller was clothed.

There was a divine transfer of wealth, knowledge, and understanding. People, who'd talked and talked for years, had their mouths taped. But, as in Ezekiel 24: 2, those that had been mute for a season now spoke. As the vision progressed, I heard the Lord Say: My People have no roof over their head. I Am their Roof." I was flown speedily, over building after building, and as we flew, I heard the Lord Say: " Not Mine, not Mine, not Mine, not Mine, not Mine, not Mine, not Mine." Now I was despairing. What then was God's? Then I was shown, people in the fields, with instruments. They had no roof over their heads. These were God's own. The buildings we flew over, were demolished by an elephant's trunk and many T.V. Studios had a fire underneath them. Apparently these buildings had been re-built on the same grounds where prior buildings had been condemned and burnt.

These new buildings had been built on the foundations of charred remains and ashes. I saw oil poured out from the sky, in two separate ways. One fell over people who gladly received it over them and laughed in the `oil rain'. On the other hand, for others, the oil rain caused to be set aflame all that was below. All that was up to the present became obsolete, and new technology, the secrets of which were hidden in nature, appeared. Science made simple but profound discoveries. I saw Scientists have a `Eureka' moment. For many who were researching, studying, looking for, the `thing', it was right there before their very noses. Once they saw it they slapped their foreheads, lamenting, "Silly me!" Follies of science were exposed. The simplicity of the discoveries to come were mind-boggling. Just One Roar Of The Lion. The very nature of nature seemed to be changing. It was as unbelievable as Isaiah 11: 6-8, `the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;.. In some places, I saw an overabundance of wheat, which flowed into the sea, as it was so plentiful. But in other places, I saw land, which was once green, and was now parched land where nothing grew.

I saw beautiful blooms on cactus/desert plants. He, who understands these changes, will prepare. The Earth was in a global eclipse. One half had light, the other half was in darkness. It seemed that plates were shifted/removed from the earth. There were people who raged against God. " We'll do what we have to, let Him do what He Wants to", they were saying. Trees trembled. They knew that their time to be cut had come. To many, prophets and counselors were restored, but from others, the prophets and counselors departed. Sadly, those from whom they departed noticed it not. Focus/emphasis of the Church, and the world, due to the presence of new circumstances, changed.

All this, by Just One Roar Of The Lion...........

I would love to write you everything the Lord spoke last night that lead up to the vision He showed me but maybe I can do that later.  I want to get it all right and in order.  I have to send you the vision I had though because it was so clear and so powerful and I know that it is going to manifest very soon. We had been talking about how the Lord was going to change us and give us a new history, His history, because we are born of God and our ancestors are now His ancestors (Abraham's blood washed descendants) .  We are not born of this world anymore or born of man but born of God and we are descendants of Abraham and we have been grafted into the fig tree of Israel.  So our roots and ancestors are Gods ancestors now.  We can not look back on our past anymore or even remember the bad things of our past because God removed all the bad and so how can we have any generational curses from our ancestors because their are no curses in Gods ancestors.  Our DNA has been changed to Gods DNA.If any man be in Christ He is a new creation, old things (things of our past) have pasted away (been destroyed) behold ALL things (things of our past) have been made new.

We have a NEW History. I had a vision as the glory came over us all and I saw the portal in Heaven above us open up and there was a large invisible somewhat square shaped object and in my spirit I knew that it was thunder.  It was thunder that was about to be released.  I told everyone I did not know what it was for.  Then Suh started to speak up and she said that it was being released to break generational curses.  So we all started praying and rebuking curses and breaking them off of different countries and peoples and then the livestock and then plants and then I felt a powerful word to break curses off of the earth or ground. 

Later the Lord showed me that the curse on the ground that Adam had to work the ground to bring forth food was a poverty curse and that it was now broken. All at once I had a very clear vision that was so amazing and I know that I know that there will be evidence of this vision all over the world and very soon.I saw a large area of fire, knowing it was God.  In front of this fire was a line of men all facing the same direction, standing in line about five feet apart one in front of the other.  The man that was the first in line with his back to the fire was known to be Adam.  All at once a stream of fire about a foot wide came out of the fire of God and shot straight through Adams back out through his belly and then on to the next man in line.  The men were standing quietly with their head relaxed and looking down with their arms and hands hanging down on their sides  then when the fire hit them in the back they would throw their arms and hands into the sky and the force of the fire would nearly push  them down.  It was as though life was coming into them. This fire was going on down from one man to another. 

The Lord spoke to me and said that His power was being released to break all the generational curses from one generation to another.  He said that He had reserved a fine thread of DNA to run through.  This fire was not a ball of fire but a stream that stayed connected to God.  I knew that the curse destroying anointing was going down through 6000 years of generations and it would not stop till it got to our generation.  I also knew that with each person that was hit with this anointing in our ancestors that we in this generation would experience a change in our mind sets to being changed into Gods mind set or Gods nature and personality. 

I hope as I have described this vision that you will be able to see it as clearly as I was shown it.  The fire is on its way and when it gets to our generation we will all be changed.  No more earthly nature. A few weeks ago the Lord had told me that He was about to release an anointing that would break 6000 year old curses. This is it. 

As the meeting went on the vision would appear to me again and I would see the fire continuing down through the generations and then I heard large choirs singing joyfully the HalleluYah chorus - and He shall reign forever and ever and He shall reign forever and ever. King of kings. forever and ever.  and Lord of lords.......

Behold He comes

The Shaking

I saw some, with strong faith and agonizing cries, pleading with God. Their countenances were pale and marked with deep anxiety, expressive of their internal struggle. Firmness and great earnestness was expressed in their countenances; large drops of perspiration fell from their foreheads. Now and then their faces would light up with the marks of God's approbation, and again the same solemn, earnest, anxious look would settle upon them. 

Evil angels crowded around, pressing darkness upon them to shut out Jesus from their view, that their eyes might be drawn to the darkness that surrounded them, and thus they be led to distrust God and murmur against Him. Their only safety was in keeping their eyes directed upward. Angels of God had charge over His people, and as the poisonous atmosphere of evil angels was pressed around these anxious ones, the heavenly angels were continually wafting their wings over them to scatter the thick darkness. 

As the praying ones continued their earnest cries, at times a ray of light from Jesus came to them, to encourage their hearts and light up their countenances. Some, I saw, did not participate in this work of agonizing and pleading. They seemed indifferent and careless. They were not resisting the darkness around them, and it shut them in like a thick cloud. The angels of God left these and went to the aid of the earnest, praying ones. I saw angels of God hasten to the assistance of all who were struggling with all their power to resist the evil angels and trying to help themselves by calling upon God with perseverance. But His angels left those who made no effort to help themselves, and I lost sight of them. 

I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans. This will have its effect upon the heart of the receiver, and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour forth the straight truth. Some will not bear this straight testimony. They will rise up against it, and this is what will cause a shaking among God's people. 

I saw that the testimony of the True Witness has not been half heeded. The solemn testimony upon which the destiny of the church hangs has been lightly esteemed, if not entirely disregarded. This testimony must work deep repentance; all who truly receive it will obey it and be purified. 

Said the angel, "List ye!" Soon I heard a voice like many musical instruments all sounding in perfect strains, sweet and harmonious. It surpassed any music I had ever heard, seeming to be full of mercy, compassion, and elevating, holy joy. It thrilled through my whole being. Said the angel, "Look ye!" My attention was then turned to the company I had seen, who were mightily shaken. I was shown those whom I had before seen weeping and praying in agony of spirit. The company of guardian angels around them had been doubled, and they were clothed with an armor from their head to their feet. They moved in exact order, like a company of soldiers. Their countenances expressed the severe conflict which they had endured, the agonizing struggle they had passed through. Yet their features, marked with severe internal anguish, now shone with the light and glory of heaven. They had obtained the victory, and it called forth from them the deepest gratitude and holy, sacred joy. 

The numbers of this company had lessened. Some had been shaken out and left by the way. The careless and indifferent, who did not join with those who prized victory and salvation enough to perseveringly plead and agonize for it, did not obtain it, and they were left behind in darkness, and their places were immediately filled by others taking hold of the truth and coming into the ranks. Evil angels still pressed around them, but could have no power over them. 

I heard those clothed with the armor speak forth the truth with great power. It had effect. Many had been bound; some wives by their husbands, and some children by their parents. The honest who had been prevented from hearing the truth now eagerly laid hold upon it. All fear of their relatives was gone, and the truth alone was exalted to them. They had been hungering and thirsting for truth; it was dearer and more precious than life. I asked what had made this great change. An angel answered, "It is the latter rain, the refreshing from the presence of the Lord, the loud cry of the third angel." 

Great power was with these chosen ones. Said the angel, "Look ye!" My attention was turned to the wicked, or unbelievers. They were all astir. The zeal and power with the people of God had aroused and enraged them. Confusion, confusion, was on every side. I saw measures taken against the company who had the light and power of God. Darkness thickened around them; yet they stood firm, approved of God, and trusting in Him. I saw them perplexed; next I heard them crying unto God earnestly. Day and night their cry ceased not: "Thy will, O God, be done! If it can glorify Thy name, make a way of escape for Thy people! Deliver us from the heathen around about us. They have appointed us unto death; but Thine arm can bring salvation." These are all the words which I can bring to mind. All seemed to have a deep sense of their unworthiness and manifested entire submission to the will of God; yet, like Jacob, every one, without an exception, was earnestly pleading and wrestling for deliverance. 

Soon after they had commenced their earnest cry, the angels, in sympathy, desired to go to their deliverance. But a tall, commanding angel suffered them not. He said, "The will of God is not yet fulfilled. They must drink of the cup. They must be baptized with the baptism." 

Soon I heard the voice of God, which shook the heavens and the earth. There was a mighty earthquake. Buildings were shaken down on every side. I then heard a triumphant shout of victory, loud, musical, and clear. I looked upon the company, who, a short time before, were in such distress and bondage. Their captivity was turned. A glorious light shone upon them. How beautiful they then looked! All marks of care and weariness were gone, and health and beauty were seen in every countenance. Their enemies, the heathen around them, fell like dead men; they could not endure the light that shone upon the delivered, holy ones. This light and glory remained upon them, until Jesus was seen in the clouds of heaven, and the faithful, tried company were changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, from glory to glory. And the graves were opened, and the saints came forth, clothed with immortality, crying, "Victory over death and the grave"; and together with the living saints they were caught up to meet their Lord in the air, while rich, musical shouts of glory and victory were upon every immortal tongue.

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER:

Kansas City

Prophetic Dream: By Mike Bickle: Victorious Church in the End Times (Rev. 12:7-12) 

I.    PROPHETIC DREAM ON FEB. 13, 2009
 
A.    I was speaking at a conference in a baseball park inside a large fairground. About 40,000 people were present—many leaders from different “charismatic” streams. churches and movements, and people from all these groups. I saw one particular leader who was representative of other leaders in the Body of Christ who seek to walk in God’s power and who have an excellent spirit. We were enjoying warm fellowship together.
 
B.    I preached on prayer, God’s power and end-time judgment. I spoke at two afternoon sessions. In the break between the sessions, people were debating what I was preaching. Some IHOP-KC people debated each other, while others were speaking to believers from different ministry streams. They were discussing God's power and His end-time judgment in a friendly way; there was no hostility, only sincere dialogue with humility and love. It was enjoyable and intellectually stimulating but none of the different points of view stirred up real faith or revelation.
 
C.    Immediately as I finished the second session at 5 PM, I saw a token of a few of the events that John prophesied about in Revelation 12:7-9 when war breaks out in heaven between Satan and Michael the archangel, resulting in Satan being cast to the earth at the beginning of the Tribulation.
 
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan…he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him… (Rev. 12:7-9)
 
D.    I did not see Satan—I saw demonic principalities being cast to the earth. They looked like large snakes (over 100 yards long and 50 feet thick), each having a huge head that looked like a dragon, and many of them were coming from the sky down to the earth.
 
E.    Everyone at the conference was filled with panic; most were terrified. No one had understanding or faith that was mature enough to respond in the power or confidence that I had just preached on, myself included. I ran as I felt the terror of the event. The leaders and their people were terrified; everyone wanted to get out of the fairground quickly. Most people were in confusion, including those from IHOP-KC. 
 
F.    These snake-like demonic principalities and the demonic hosts with them were filled with rage against the people. They were angry and even humiliated about being confined to the earth. Satan’s rage is related to the short amount of time he has before going to prison (Rev. 20:1-3).
 
12 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath (fury), because he knows that he has a short time…17 The dragon was enraged… he went to make war with the rest…who have the testimony of Jesus… (Rev. 12:12, 17) 
 
G.    Soot like wet, muddy, thick ash was raining down from the sky. It darkened the sky as it fell on the people who were running. I ran out of the vast fairground to the park offices at the entrance. Wet ash was all over me as I ran. Many did not get out; they were bitten by the large snakes.
 
H.    There were evil policeman at the entrance. They told me, “You have to go back into the fairground or we will put you in jail.” They were callous about the danger I would face if I went back into the fairground. Then I understood that they were in the Antichrist’s system. I was in a dilemma. I thought, “I just escaped from the most intense danger imaginable and now I have to go back in!” There will be no natural way out of this crisis—the only way will be by the power of the Spirit.
 
I.    When standing by the police I thought, “I wish IHOP had taken the events in Revelation 12 more seriously in the early days, and had prepared more urgently in when we had time. I said to myself, “the debate about power is much bigger than the power we actually walk in.” I woke up with an urgency that the IHOP leadership needs greater zeal to walk in the things of the Spirit.
 
J.    After I woke up, I understood that fear and confusion will NOT be the condition of the entire Body of Christ when the events of Revelation 12:7 literally occur. Many will have understanding and be in a place of mature faith. The Lord was showing me what it would be like if these events happened today with the Church in its current condition (being unprepared in understanding and faith). 
 
K.    The message of the dream was that we at IHOP need to be more urgent in going deep in our walk with Jesus, in growing in faith to operate more in the Holy Spirit right now, and in eating the scroll in order to have much more understanding now and for that specific hour.
 
20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. (Jer. 23:20)
 
L.    I felt strongly that IHOP and other streams in the Body of Christ have “empty” arguments about power and their insight into the end-time drama. Most arguments, in either direction, do not actually prepare people to go deeper in Jesus, His Word and Spirit. They are not helpful—rather, they are empty. 
 
M. In this dream, the Lord was warning me to set my face toward Him and His Word and to refuse the temptation to invest time in seeking to look wise to others. What is coming is so much more intense than we imagine. Even those with the most insight do not understand the intensity of the events in Revelation 12:7-12.
 
N.    The point of the dream: neither the IHOP leadership nor I are mature enough in our understanding to entertain debates and casual arguments that will arise much more in the Church in the future.
 
O.    The "now" word of God must be confirmed with power. The only way to be culturally relevant in society is to move in power to confirm the Word. Without this, many in the Church are looking for ministries with trendy language and clothes, interesting technology, or to talk about current affairs to identify together. Many are trapped in an abyss of entertainment.
 
P.    We will only penetrate that bubble by power and the real fear of the Lord. People will not get free from the vice of our pop culture without it. People must walk away from their gatherings knowing that He is involved in their lives in power. We must experience manifestation of His majesty that makes us tremble and His kindness that moves us to repentance and servanthood.  

II.    A LITERAL WAR WILL BREAK OUT IN HEAVEN IN THE END TIMES
 
A.    Some teach that the war in heaven described in Rev. 12:7 occurred at the cross and that Satan is now confined to the earth. Satan’s host operate in the heavenly places in this age.
 
12 We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities…against the rulers of the darkness…against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph. 6:12)
 
B.    Christ defeated Satan at the cross. However, the full scope of His victory has not yet been fully manifested on earth. At Christ's ascension, Jesus was seated at God’s right hand, far above all authority (Eph. 1:20-22). Jesus disarmed the demonic powers and made a public spectacle of them (Col. 2:15). The "already and not yet" paradox of the Kingdom is now operating.
 
C.    The windows of the heaven will be opened and demonic principalities will be punished. Demonic spirits and evil kings are also put in prison like Satan as prophesied by Isaiah.
 
18 The windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken. 19 The earth is violently broken…the earth is shaken exceedingly...20 Its transgression shall be heavy upon it…21 In that day that the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones (demonic principalities), and on the earth the kings of the earth. 22 They (demons and kings) will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit (bottomless pit), and will be shut up in the prison (Rev. 20:1-3); after many days (1,000 years) they will be punished (Lake of Fire)…the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion (Millennium)… (Isa. 24:18-23)
 
D.    One of the most unique dynamics in the Tribulation is that Satan and all his demons will be cast to the earth (Rev. 12:9) and he will give his throne to the Antichrist (Rev. 13:2). Hundreds of millions of demons now in the bottomless pit will be released (Rev. 9:3, 16). Billions will be engaged in Satan worship. There will be more demonized people on earth than at any time in history.
 
2 The Dragon (Satan) gave him (Antichrist) his power, his throne … (Rev. 13:2)

21 There will be Great Tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world…22 Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved... (Mt. 24:21-22)
 
E.    The saints will overcome Satan in the Tribulation by the blood of Jesus, our testimony and commitment to Jesus even unto death.
 
10 I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren…has been cast down. 11 They overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev. 12:10-11)
 
F.    The Praying Church will overcome Satan and the Antichrist (Rev. 12:11; 15:2; 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21; 21:7). The miracles of Exodus and Acts will be combined and multiplied on a global level. Fear need NOT dominate our spirit and extinguish our faith. We need not fear the Tribulation as powerless victims seeking to escape it.
 
12 The works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do… (Jn. 14:12)
 
G.    End-time believers will engage in the prayer of faith to bind and loose according to God’s will. This passage is fulfilled on earth in the Tribulation with a victorious Church operating in power.
 
18 On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Mt. 16:18-19)
 
H.    The Antichrist will be the greatest oppressor the world has ever seen. Isa. 42 is one of the main Second Coming passages. It emphasizes justice. People do not rejoice in judgment until an oppressor is in power. Jesus brings justice to the earth in context to the Antichrist’s oppression.
 
I.    Jesus will only confront the oppressor to the measure that prayers of the saints ascend in faith.
 
4 The prayers of the saints, ascended before God…5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth… (Rev. 8:4-5)

7 Shall God not avenge (bring justice) His own elect who cry out day and night to Him…8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily (in the Tribulation). (Lk. 18:7-8)
 
J.    The most dramatic events in world history will occur in context to the greatest prayer movement that contends against the greatest oppression to see the greatest justice movement fulfilled across the whole earth. What is released in fullness then is released in part now. 

III.    JESUS WILL SUPERNATURALLY HELP THE CHURCH COME TO VICTORY (REV. 14) 

A.    The message of Rev. 14 is that Jesus will supernaturally anoint the Church to walk in victory.
 
B.    In Rev. 14:1-5, Jesus will stand on Mount Zion in Jerusalem with 144,000 prophetic singers. Rev. 14:6-13 reveals four prophetic promises and proclamations that the Spirit will release conviction on and will confirm with signs and wonders to strengthen His people. 
 
1.    In Rev. 14:6-7, we will receive angelic assistance and great power that we may succeed in preaching the Gospel to all nations in the presence of hostility (Mt. 24:14; Rev. 7:9).
 
2.    In Rev. 14:8, the anointed proclamation of the defeat of the Harlot Babylon stirs our faith.
 
3.    In Rev. 14:9-11, the anointed proclamation of the certainty of eternal judgment coming on all who worship the Antichrist will embolden the saints to resist even unto death.
 
4.    In Rev. 14:12-13, the anointed proclamation of the certainty of receiving eternal rewards for being faithful will strengthen the Church.
 
5.    In Rev. 14:14-20, we see the two different end-time harvests to be released by prayer. The harvest of souls is seen in Rev. 14:14-16 and the harvest of sin in Rev. 14:17-20. These show the results of prayers that release power for salvation and the removal of evil.

dream of a massive earthquake in St Louis‏

From: homeschoolmom@aol.com
Sent: Sat 4/04/09 2:02 AM

To: intheimageofhisglory@hotmail.com

Hi Susan.  I have a lot of dreams and have never submitted them but felt to submit this. We need to pray for the mercy of the Lord and intercede for the people there.  Please advise if there is another protocol to post stuff like this.  Thanks. 

March 31 2009

I dreamt that St Louis had a huuuge, massive earthquake.  In the dream I saw the letters ST LOUIS.
In the dream I was driving in the city and all of a sudden I couldn't see anymore; a thick cloud of gray drakness covered my eyes. And there was blackness somehow outside even though it was in the middle of the day.  I slowed down so I wouldn't crash into any cars ahead of me.  All the others cars were doing the same.  I did not crash but came to a stop.  My vision came back, i looked out of my window to the left and saw such massive damage it was hard to believe.  I knew many many people had perished.  Huge buildings had collapsed.  Big grey concrete buildings were folded in.  I don't know St Louis and don't know if this exists but one of the buildings I saw in the dream looked like a several cycular shaped structure with orange somewhere near the rounded tops.  There were about 5 of these shapes but connected together.  The building was folded in from both sides. There is more to this dream as I somehow ended up walking in a building on some wooden planks surveying damage but that part is not so clear.

The Powerful End Time Service of the Angels of God!

Dieter Bestandig

Germany 

Revelation August, 2007

Heb. 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? 

Part 2 of the revelations/visions from August, 2007 is another jigsaw puzzle which shows the mighty end time service of the angels of GOD. It is not about teaching here, but He revealed to me fragments of his action by special angel's services which GOD'S Holy Spirit allowed me to see here.

When GOD started in August, 2007 revealing himself to me in a series of visions [by His mercy], I saw on the 3rd of August very clearly a gigantic, angel, dressed in white, who stood as a clerk of the court before me.

A great white scroll which reached almost to the ground was fastened to his belt. In his scroll, he held a writing feather and he was ready to write. Then I heard the voice of GOD saying: “Write down all names of those which are determined, by basic searching of the world, for everlasting life and seal those who cry, sigh and complain about the horrors which the godless/atheists commit. I want to spare them from the judgments which strike the earth, yes, I want to strengthen them”

Ezekiel 2: 1-4 NKJV says in addition: And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you." 2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me. 3 And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God.' 

I saw a magnifying glass which was directed by heaven onto the earth and I heard the voice of an angel saying: “The eyes of the Almighty God are directed upon the earth!“ 

Psalm 33:13-15 NKJV The Lord looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men. 14 From the place of His dwelling He looks

On all the inhabitants of the earth; 15 He fashions their hearts individually;

He considers all their works.

Psalm 33:18-19 NKJV Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,

On those who hope in His mercy, 19 To deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive in famine.  

2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV says: For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars."

Then I saw the mighty shining throne of GOD again. Round him were flashes and strong beams of light in many colors went out from him. I recognized on the throne shadowy outlines of the Almighty God. It was as if He had raised his mighty arm and instruction went from Him to his angel's messengers. He sent them in beams of light down to the earth, immediately to his children which were in distress to release them, to strengthen and to raise by his powerful, living word.

I heard the messenger of GOD saying: “Be strengthened, Be strengthened and Be restored!” While He said this, the word from Heb 1:14 came to life to me once more: “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?”

The Holy Spirit of GOD Now showed me older brothers and sisters and among them many women who had supported for years faithfully missionaries and servants of GOD with their gifts and prayers. I saw how they raised hands in their need and shouted to GOD (several were ill, lonesome and had needs). I heard the gentle and comforting father's voice of GOD to them saying: “I have not forgotten your gifts and how you have served me faithfully. Now I want to strengthen you and use you as my witnesses and does it not say: When you are too weak and too old; I strengthen you with My power so you can act? 

No word of Mine should return void, because it will be carried out for whatever it is sent. Put on garments of praise & worship me, so that I can manifest Myself, among you. Take joy instead of grief and a garment of praise, instead of a distressed mind so that times of refreshment come for the weary, and restoration of your first love!“

The area of the working angels suddenly stood a great angel in that space. He was dressed in a wide, brown garment and was gird in the hips with a cord. He held a bowl with a substance similar to grain in his hands. Then appeared the other angels also dressed in brown garments who stood everybody in servable position before me. I had never seen brown-dressed angels and I was surprised at it. 

There I heard GOD'S voice to myself saying: “This is an official angel that I send to the service of my sanctified ones, to set them up, and to strengthen them. Since I have heard the crying and whines of my children, I have sent my angel's messengers to stand each of them up and to strengthen them in her challenges. No one who comes to me, will I to reject. Trusts in my mercy completely, because I want to still use you for my honor.

I will not extinguish the smoking wick, nor break the broken reed. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because I want to activate you anew and strengthen you”. In my mind I saw like these official angels and working angels went around the contested and weak with religious food and drink to dine. Again, I heard the voice of GOD saying: “Still at this age they are powerful and able to freshly announce the justice of GOD. I have not come to slam you down, but to raise you up!“  “And healing is under her (their) wings!“  

Malachi 4:2 says: “But to you who you fear My name the sun of righteousness will arise, with healing in His wings. And you will go out and grow fat like stall fed calves“.

In my spirit I saw a whole army of official angels at their work. They moved above the earth to visit the truthful of GOD'S people in their flats and to strengthen them. GOD'S Spirit showed me fact that by the service of these angels many people experienced sudden healing and restoration from physical and psychic illnesses, so that they gave testimony. Even bedridden sick people were touched by the angel's visit of the strength of GOD and got up afterwards and went from strength to strength. 

Then I saw a gigantic, light-dressed angel who lit the restored with a fire torch and a voice spoke to them: “Go out as light in this world and shine to those who sit in darkness and death’s shadow, & by your powerful testimony which I will confirm“.

Then I saw older children of GOD how they went in old people's homes and hospitals and visited singles to give the message of hope and life to those who were wasting away up to now, without hope for freedom. While these elder children of GOD went everywhere, I saw angels of GOD on their side who supported their service powerfully and explained why they were sent.

Angels revealed themselves to the children in dreams and visions in very clear vision, GOD'S Spirit showed me this picture: “I saw the night sky. This opened and I saw a wide light stairway, descend from heaven. On it there arose countless angels up and down - as it once was experienced by Jacob. There was constant arrival and departure.  

Then I saw a house and I was moved by the Spirit of GOD in a children's room. There were two children who pressed their faces against the window panes and looked up to the starry night sky. There I heard GOD'S voice saying: “I will reveal myself by my angels increasingly to the small children in dreams and visions and they will confront their parents with the reality and truth that heaven and I exist, so that they cannot contradict. That which these children experience will be so real, that the children will not accept any contradiction or counterarguments of their incredulous parents, but will state and describe pertinaciously & specifically, their heavenly visions. Thus their parents will recognize that these children experienced a divine revelation and I will touch their hearts hardened by unbelief, by the child’s mouth, so that they open their heart and believe them and convert to me!“  

With this vision GOD'S assent came to me in the sense which He gave to me these angel's messages: ”I turn to the little ones and the lowly!“  

Finally to this part 2 of the August's revelations in 2007 I would like to point out again the fact that GOD showed me only one part of that which He works now by his heavenly emissaries to his chosen.  GOD'S word explains why it is sent. I am persuaded that GOD touches the low-spirited, lonesome and sick people by this message and that several of them experience exactly this and get to know what He has dictated to me here by his Spirit, and has revealed, so that times of refreshment come and the weak says: “I am strong, because you O GOD have strengthened me”, amen.

A New Move Coming

Eileen Fisher

Colorado Springs, Colorado.
 

March 3, 2009

http://www.eileenfisher.org/ 

The Lord says, "I am not the God of forgetfulness, but I am an eternal, covenant keeping God. I am an eternal God, the beginning and the end. I have called My own by name. I have numbered and held the stars in My hand. I have kept the universe in balance. My strength is still flowing through you, My people; My strength is still flowing through the land; and My strength is still flowing through your households. 

"For There is a New Move Coming Over the Face of the Earth"

"Even when you don't see My hand, trust My spirit. Do not be like those who followed, chasing sign after sign after sign and missing My very presence. For I would say unto you, I long for fellowship. I long for fellowship. I long for you to be in My presence.

"For there is a new move coming over the face of the earth," says the Lord your God. "There will be stillness like you have never experienced. You will even see people on a platform who will be stunned because they will not know what to say because of what I do. You are about to see My agenda being released on the earth in a new way.

"You are about to see Me part the Red Sea once again. But this time it will be different. This time I will come in and part evil from good and good from evil. For that was the purpose for the crossing over of the Red Sea. For they had to leave back the evil things and go forth into the land of milk and honey. You will know this move and you will feel this move. Even in your households I will begin to expose things. Idols will be brought forth, but only to be broken. 

"For you are moving into a season where curses have been ruling and reigning. You are going to see them flipped over and move into a season of blessings. You are going to cry out, 'Our God reigns.' You will call forth the agreement that I have been seeking the earth to and fro for, saying, 'Who will believe and wait for the hand of the Lord?'

"For I say unto you, you are a Believers group. Believe, for that is what you are called. Believe, for that is what I ask of you. Believe, for that frustrates the plans of the enemy. Believe, for that causes your faith to rise up. Believe, for that sends the enemy running and scattering, and you'll receive the guidance of My Spirit," says the Lord your God.

"But if any man lacks wisdom, did I not say that I will give it to you?" He says, "Tonight, wisdom is being dropped into your spirits." He says, "Tonight, wisdom is the gift that is being placed in your spirit heart. For you will have decisions made in the knowing of your spirit man, that you will have discernment in the working of My Spirit, for you will no longer work beside My Spirit. 

"You Are Going to See the Marriage of the Spirit and the Word Come Back with Faith"

"I am raising up an army who will become radical," says the Lord. "For they will be Spirit-led people, and their Body would be one of restraint. For now, it is the Body who is trying to restrain the Spirit, for you will see that flip," says the Lord your God.

"But you do not understand that some who have been in caves, I am saying to them to come out of that cave, come out of that dead, cold thinking. Come out of that which would only give life, now move into that which would promise the life. For others would say come here for this is life, only to find out that it was a different kind of life than that of My Word," says the Lord your God. "For My Word is alive, and My Word is active, and My Word is true. You are going to see the marriage of the Spirit and the Word come back with faith like you have never seen before. 

"Things will get darker around you. Do not, and I say again do not look at circumstances, but walk on top of them in the Spirit. For if you learn this lesson well, you will understand dominion and you will understand what it means to rule and reign in Christ Jesus, not beside Me but in Me because My Spirit is in you," says the Lord your God. 

"Long to be controlled by My Spirit for He longs to control you that My Kingdom come and My will be done. That the earth may know and all who live that Jesus Christ not only died but rose again as an everlasting Intercessor. Know that your Redeemer does live and you'll begin to know Me as your Redeemer," says the Lord your God.

The Rain Will Come

Mark Phillip Sanger


March 11, 2009

Zzzoetime@aol.com 

I was laying on the couch warring for some peace, comfort and the assurance that only the Holy Spirit can give. I had been reading Susan Cummings word, " Rain of Fire" from Jan. 9,09 [http://www.etpv.org/2009/rainofir.html]. I nodded off for a moment, then woke up suddenly and looked up. It was about 5:45pm Sitting on the couch right in front a bit to the left of me was a golden drop of light. It was filled with what appeared to be living lava like substance. I have been so embattled/attacked as of late that I had a cold almost unfeeling reaction to this long awaited phenomenon, instead of Joy.

A few days ago I asked the lord, "Why did you show me the Rain Drop"?, He said," I just wanted you to know MY RAIN is coming, My GLORY is coming, great change is coming....ASK for it believing...seek ME and you will see ME.

Every yoke of bondage will be destroyed because of the latter "RAIN" anointing. Every blindness every bondage, sickness, disease and darkness will be destroyed by the RAIN flood of Heaven. This Rain will set MY Son's and Daughters free forever!

Look for it wait for it EXPECT it, with Psalm 47 praise!

Victory is certain, you will be changed, the Rain is the Kings anointing to usher in the Kingdom and subdue the nations under us. It is the healing of the nations, it is the power of the Third Day, the power of the age to come!

This rain is your hearts desire, it is what you were born for, it is your ministry your confidence (that you can't seem to find anywhere) and your authority.  

This RAIN is MY PERFECT WILL for you and NOW it comes. You will be changed into MY image and you will be ministers of the RAIN.

Ministers of the former and the latter RAIN in the same season!

GREAT CHANGE IS COMING

There is coming great change, great prosperity, greater LOVE, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT! ALL of these will be established by/in the latter RAIN. As these fruits are strongly established, My Kingdom will become so beautiful so attractive so plainly seen, that many will run into MY waiting arms. 

Multitudes, multitudes are being forced into the valley of decision right NOW as their comfort zones and false securities melt away, MY harvest is coming!

Heaven is gearing up for this Holy Transfiguration and Divine mobilization, This HOLY offensive of the Rain of Fire and Dominion! 

At My appearing you will know ME as I AM and you will never fear again. You will be changed into MY image, and Son, there is no fear in ME, and in that day there will be no fear in you either!

Total healing, deliverance and restoration has begun in MY house and will accelerate into fullness. Worship is coming beyond your wildest dreams. Worship filled with abandonment into my Love, Grace, Mercy, Power and Kingdom. As THIS worship pours it will open up NEW doors, demons will flee, men will turn to ME and you WILL BE FREE...I will inhabit these praises and many will see ME....in Earth as I am in Heaven!

YOU ARE CHOSEN AND YOU WILL MAKE IT, I HAVE BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR, AND WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY, EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD.

SHAKE OFF THE DUST, SHAKE OFF THE WORLD, PUT ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS, GET READY STAY READY, KEEP YOUR LAMPS FULL...HEAVEN IS YOUR HOME ... IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN!

IT IS TIME FOR THE GREAT SUPPER OF THE LAMB....THE TABLE IS SET...LOOK FOR HIS APPEARING, IT IS NEARING!

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EAT YOUR BEST MEAL IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR enemy!

LOVE forever

Joni Ames

Prophetic Word From Joni AmesGrab Hold Of The Horns Of The Alter - Now!

As most of you know, the Lord spoke to me over a year ago that some seriously hard times were about to come on the world. He said that it was important for us to downsize our financial obligations, to be in the proper geographical location that He had for us to be, and to be near family so that we would be able help one another. Therefore, in Feburary of last year (2008), I moved to West Virginia to be near my daughter and grandbabies.

This year and last, I've continued to say this, as well as have been spreading the word as I travel that, in these tough economic times, one of the things the Lord is going to teach us to do is to pool our resources. Many families and/or friends may need to move in together in order to make ends meet. In that, we will have to learn how to get along, for sure!

I believe the Lord gave me an understanding as well that we are in a time similar to when Daniel interpreted the dream for the King and let him know that hard times were ahead. Again, I've had the same sensing for the world, only stronger.

I feel at this time that from now through Spring time will again be a "kairos window of opportunity" for many to get into position. Do not get lulled into a financial sense of security at ANY time with ANY thing. Be SMART. Now would not be a time to LIVE LARGE, unless you just want to have that experience as a memory for the days to come. Now would be the time to put yourself into position to be secure for the next seven to ten years.

I feel that great unrest is ahead for America, and we need to get back to the basics, even in the Church, or this nation as we have known it will no longer exist.

For years, even since I was a child, I've had dreams that America was no longer a large, free, and prosperous nation. Then when I saw the movie, "The Postman" with Kevin Conner, it was like seeing all of those dreams on the screen. However, it was a prophetic picture as to how God will use the Church in days ahead. - As a "postman" with messages of hope for others. And those messages of hope would cause her to, once again, become a great nation.

For the past two years, I've had the term, "Boston Tea Party" spring up in my spirit. In that, I've had a sensing that, just as the Boston Tea Party of 1773 ignited the series of events leading to American independence, so God is calling forth the Church in this time to do exactly that once again. The Church of America WILL be the catalyst for this. First will come revolution and then reconstruction. Because of all the "bail outs" and "friendly fire" against America by those Her people have trusted in and supported, we are about to see a revolution of awakening in America that will make the Boston Tea Party look like a siesta.

I believe the book of Hebrews is important for us in these times. Truly, like a tea bag steeped in boiling water, the Church WILL arise in this time to be the Church that HE BREWS! - And we will be a sweet smelling savor and taste to those who truly desire Hope and Freedom. - And even as it says in Romans 8 - the very earth itself is groaning for the Sons (& Daughters) of God to take their rightful seat of authority in the Earth!

There is warning here. We must not allow the enemy to cause us to conquer ourselves through the use of violence or mayhem, but to do things decently and in order, and thus be used to bring chaos into captivity.

We must seek God and change our own mindsets and lives. Additionally, the Government has refused to stay out of our business, so why should we stay out of theirs? David didn't. Realize that, just as David was used as prophet, priest, and King, there are many Christians God has called "for such a time as this" to arise into government. Back them. Encourage them. Support them, even financially. Attend your local and regional government meetings. Question legislation. Hound your lesiglators. And pray for them.

I encourage you to go to the Intercessors for America website at http://www.ifapray.org/ and download their prayer guides. They are a great help in providing guidelines to pray for those in government as directed by God in 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I also encourage you to get Josh McDowell's book called "The Last Christian Generation." It will cause you to see where America is at. We must have rapid divine intervention.

Additionally, the Church is going to have to stop trying to be a circus, where "in this corner" is this or that new fad or supposed manifestation, and they will need to learn to be Jesus to the lost, hurting, and needy. Jesus said that what we do to the least, we do to Him, and describes TRUE ministry in Matthew 31. This chapter is so rich for this particular time! In it, Jesus talks about how we are to (1) be like the Wise Virgins and get our own oil, (2) USE our talents, NOT hide them, and (3) He reminds us that TRUE ministry is to give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, help to house those who need it, give clothes those who need that, and visit those who are sick or in prison.

One of the reasons Soddom was destroyed was pride, and another was for ignoring the plight of the poor and needy, even though they had plenty: "Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." (Ezekiel 16:49)

We are at a serious crossroads in America. We must wake up and do as they used to say in the church, "Take hold of the horns of the altar!" - In other words, get hold of God, hang on, do NOT let go, pray this through, and DO what we are called to do in this hour!

Our God has need of YOU! In Eph. 4:16 it says that when every part of the Body does it's share, it causes growth in the Body. It's time! Time for us all to awake, arise, and do our share!

Don't let anything start stopping you, for it will never stop stopping you! "Rise! Shine! Your light has come! And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! Although gross darkness covers the earth, HIS light and HIS glory will rise and shine upon YOU!!! (Is. 60:1 & 2)

 "The Golden Staircase"

A Word for the Bride by Prophetess Deborah Gliebe - January 2009

I saw a golden staircase and I saw the remnant bride about to step up upon the golden staircase.  The bride was about to ascend into a brand new level of the realms of the Glory.  She was beautifully arrayed with a long train behind her and a beautiful veil covering her face.  Her eyes were fixed upon heaven.  Her dress was embroidered with various jewels as she began to ascend the stairway. 

Standing at the top of the stairs were multitudes of glorious angels.  And Jesus, her crowned King, was at the top of the golden staircase.  The scriptures came to me, Habakkuk 2:2-3, “Then the LORD answered me and said, ‘Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.  Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.’”

I respectfully submit to you my interpretation of the dream.  Notice the Bride that was fully dressed, for she had been prepared.  We all know that in Revelation the Bible describes the Bride of Christ as being without any spot or wrinkle.  The cleansing that is coming in these futures days, months and years will bring the Bride to the deepest cleansing of the soul, healing of the soul, and restoration of the soul than we have ever known.  Only by the purifying and the purging of the Holy Spirit can we ever be truly ready to bring the Glory; co-laboring with the Holy Spirit in the earth, so that the earth will see the true reflection of Christ’s glorious bride, the Bride without spot or wrinkle.    That is why the greatest shakings we have ever known are taking place.  God is about to shake His church, to such a dimension, in order to take us through the greatest depths of cleansing we have ever known. 

Wickedness and sin will be exposed at every level so that the remnant bride may be cleansed of all Her iniquities.  As she raises Her foot upon the first step of the Staircase, towards Jesus, she will begin going through the most intense cleansing she has ever known.  One:  The lusts of the flesh, the greed of life, including worries and fears, must be removed.  The scourging power of the Holy Spirit will begin to clean these areas.  Second:  The wounds from abuse and harlotries. Third: He is going to be delivering the Bride from anger and bitterness of soul, and the pride of life.  Galatians 5:19-25 declares, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

A great shaking in the financial realm has already begun.  There will be great losses to some in the body of Christ.  To some, these great financial losses will seem as though they could never be recovered but some of these losses will be the Lord shaking loose worldliness.  (People who’s focus has been to build their own kingdom having forgotten the necessarily of building God’s kingdom.)  God will bring his Bride restoration, in His divine timing, the way He sees the need to fulfill her destiny, not as we see it. 

With Her foot resting upward on the Golden Staircase, the eyes of the Bride has her gaze fixed upon her King and His Heavenly home.  Christ is calling the church to keep her eyes fixed heavenward with anticipation of seeing her King.  FOR THE KING IS COMING!  It’s amazing that in the book of Revelation it pictures Jesus with fire in His eyes.  We must allow the cleansing fire of Christ to pierce our very soul in order to become as pure gold. 

In my vision the Bride is about to be elevated in to her next anointed place, in step.  As she goes to step up the golden staircase, ascending towards the King, new revelations and mysteries will be released through the Holy Spirit, into the Bride.

As I looked upon the train of the bridal gown, it was embroidered with many jewels.  This was symbolic of the varieties of gifting and anointings that will be released into the Bride of Christ.  Average believers will be true displayers of the Glory of God, in the earth, as the Bride goes from glory to glory, step by step, with healing miracles, signs and wonders following them.  (Mark 16:17-18 says, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”)  There will be extraordinary gifting released upon the saints, all to the Glory of God.  Years ago we ministered at a revival in Australia and the anointing was so great that even the ushers and children, who prayed for multitudes of people, were seeing outstanding miracles and deliverances.

Just over a year ago, I heard the booming voice of the Holy Spirit say, three times each, “Divine appointments; Divine authority; Divine anointing!”  Since that time, we have had more divine appointments, authority and anointing than we have ever walked in before.  Included in the Divine appointments have been mayors and even presidents.  This word was not just to us at FireGate, but for God’s remnant Bride in these unfolding end days.

As the Bible says, “…for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5:45).  As the world systems begin to shake, God will also begin to release the wealth of the wicked into the hands of the true remnant.  There will be many sudden releasing to ministries and believers who have been faithful in little.  Just like Joseph, God will bring them out suddenly, from barrenness into fullness.   Just as God blossomed Aaron’s rod, a stick, and blossomed the flowers upon it.  So He will endow the remnant bride with the necessary finances to accomplish the necessary tasks at hand.   

And of course as always, when the Bride begins to be elevated in the anointing there will be great assailing winds.  To this Elijah bride, the winds will come from the spirit of Jezebel, the controlling religious church.  Whole church infrastructures will begin to shake, rock, and reel.  Whole church institutions that were never really aligned with Christ will buckle and go along side with the one world government antichrist church.  There will be gurus and people of notoriety that Satan will lift up to deceive the masses.  These things are happening as we speak. 

In my New Year’s prophetic word, for 2008, I prophesied that nations will begin to align with each other for both good and evil purposes.  And also to keep your eyes on Israel and it’s President.  Please continue to pray for Israel.

In this vision, the veil over the brides face is symbolic of the hidden remnant; Hidden under God’s sovereign will and about to be revealed to the world.  The light shining down on the Bride will be gloriously, revealing new mantels and anointings.  It will pierce even the greatest darkness.  Daniel 12:3 states, “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”  Do not fear what man can do or say with accusation for the scripture says, “But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) 

There will be an amazing grace as the bride sweeps forth into her destiny in this new year of 2009.  Are you ready?

A Season Of Fullness

John Mark Pool

Baker Louisiana USA 

We Are Entering A Season Of The Fullness Of God's Blessings"

Jan 30, 2009

Joseph - The Fullness of Blessing

"Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree beside a fountain. His branches reach over the wall. He has been attacked by archers, who shot at him and harassed him. But his bow remained strong, and his arms were strengthened by the Mighty One of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. 

"May the God of your ancestors help you; may the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the earth beneath, and blessings of the breasts and womb. May the blessings of your ancestors be greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains, reaching to the utmost bounds of the everlasting hills. These blessings will fall on the head of Joseph, who is a prince among his brothers." Genesis 49:22-26

The Fullness of Blessing for Joseph is indeed overflowing. What Jacob says of him, is history as well as prophecy. Jacob reminds him of the difficulties and fiery darts of temptations he had formerly struggled through. His faith did not fail, but through his trials he bore all his burdens with firmness, and did not do anything unbecoming. Jacob was well acquainted with this life message, for he had an authority through a conclusion of walking out this reality. 

All our strength for resisting temptations and bearing afflictions comes from God; His grace is sufficient. Joseph became the shepherd of Israel - to take care of his father and family; also the stone of Israel - their foundation and strong support. In this, as in many other things, Joseph was a remarkable type from the Good Shepherd and tried Cornerstone of the whole Church of God. 

Blessings are promised to Joseph's descendants, typical of the vast and everlasting blessings that come upon the spiritual seed of Christ. Jacob blessed all his sons, but especially Joseph, "who was separated from his brethren." Not only separated in Egypt, but, possessing eminent dignity, and was more devoted to God. 

In the days of Joseph, that was a huge blessing to be proliferated through the seed of their ancestors to increase the family of God. As women gave birth to more Israelites, this was viewed as a sign of fruitfulness. 

We are entering a season of the fullness of God's blessings as we abandon the pains from poor choices in the past. Let them go, offer them on the altar of grace before God, and feel the refreshing blessings begin to flow again in your life, your restored relationships, and your deepened intimacy with our Father. 

Joseph and Jacob - a Message of God's Grace

When Joseph was reunited through famine with his brothers who had sold him into slavery, God was bringing a conclusion to the way human flesh deals with problems. This is one of the best messages of God's grace for His own people that could be cited in the entire Bible. Joseph could have had his brothers executed, yet he displayed overwhelming mercy and became the redeemer for not only his immediate family, but also national Israel. 

Jacob was very knowledgeable of God's ability to turn tragedy into triumph, demonstrating that if we will purpose to view God in the process, then this will allow the stones in our paths to become the very "Gates of God!" This year, allow your stones in your path to become your "Bethel of blessings!"

"At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone for a pillow and lay down to sleep. As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from Earth to Heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down on it. 

"At the top of the stairway stood the LORD, and he said, 'I am the LORD, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I will give it to you and your descendants.'

"Then Jacob woke up and said, 'Surely the LORD is in this place, and I wasn't even aware of it.' He was afraid and said, 'What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God - the gateway to Heaven!'" Genesis 28:11-13, 16-17

Jacob went on to pay a great price for the valuable lessons of a pathway from being a trickster to being triumphant! 

Joseph was just one such reminder, yet in the end, God turned all things around to bring us the message this year offers: 

2009 is the Birth of Your Turnaround! 

Joseph was Jacob's favored son. Yosef is the Hebrew translation for Joseph and means "he increases or enlarges or becomes more full." As this time of revelation came to light, that his brothers lied to their father, it lets us know that in 2009, we must let go of any sinful patterns of our past. This will bring a necessary healing of old iniquitous ways to a required conclusion. 

Grace is sufficient for all our needs. "And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Corinthians 12:9). 

We cannot move forward without some very important conclusions to past mistakes. This will enable us to walk in the gratitude of grace from our Lord as opposed to wandering in the "wilderness of wants" forever. We must view what God desires as our lifestyle and not succumb to human efforts of "business." 

2009 will be a year to "end the strife" of past broken relationships and once again, move forward with your obedience to God in "birthing your destiny." The spirit of travail is dropping on everyone who positions themselves for desperation to birth their prophetic destiny now! 

This is a real picture of the year of 2009 - including the tet symbol that represents a new wineskin or even a "fertile womb." Tet is the Hebrew symbol, or letter for the number nine, which symbolizes end, conclusion, fullness of blessings, and evangelist. Another meaning for the number nine is conclusion.

God will now "Joseph" (Yosef) or enlarge our blessings into their fullness. We are in a season of both chronos and kairos times. Our chronos will be a season of fullness if we will begin to allow the spirit of travail to cause the kairos moment of God's orders for new birth to soon occur.

2009 is the time you and your family will be encouraged by God to forget the past, embrace your fullness of blessings and take that message to a very hurting world.

2009 is a Year of Evangelistic Harvest! 

The year 2009 will indeed become the beginning of one of the most unprecedented times of harvest this nation and the world has ever experienced. We must be ready for such reaping. Reaping is best for those who have prepared their nets. We must now have our visions of a move of God raised higher. The world around us is experiencing this in a way most Americans have not yet experienced. 

Take time to follow the Lord drawing you into a deep hunger for intimacy with Him and the sheep of His pasture. He cares for everyone in His creation. He made us to glorify Him in all the earth. 2009 will be a year that is initiated in many exciting ways. Begin to thank the Lord for all His love and grace and care that He gave us - it's more than we would ever deserve. 

2009 will be a Year for Praise and Thanksgiving! 

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." Psalm 100:4

King David appointed Levites to lead in prayer, thanksgiving, and praise in 1 Chronicles 16. At the heart of this chapter is thanksgiving. Beginning in verse seven, David recited his own "psalm of thanks to the LORD.'' The verses following reveal a beautiful song of gratitude to God. True worship of God issues forth from grateful hearts. 

A feeling such as bitterness, envy, hostility, and pride disqualifies anyone from genuine worship. Thanksgiving opens up the door of the heart toward God in such a way that the individual is freed for true worship of God. Everywhere in Scripture this spirit of thanksgiving is revealed as vital to our worship experience. Let's exchange a spirit of bitterness for a spirit of thanksgiving!

King David had a lifestyle of one trial after another which could've been his ending at any moment if he ever gave into defeat. However, like the same sinew of faithfulness that Joseph and Jacob possessed, they allowed themselves no room for destruction. Praise and worship before Almighty God became not only a healing salve to their tattered souls, but also a weapon of praise against the wiles of the devil. Yes, incorporate praise as a lethal weapon in our spiritual arsenal. 

"You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give You thanks forever!" Psalm 30:11-12 

Be like David and then have a spirit of thanksgiving for saving him from his enemies. "You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of Your name, lead me out of this peril. Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in You alone. I entrust my spirit into Your hand. Rescue me, LORD, for You are a faithful God" (Psalm 31:3-5 emphases added). 

Many battles will indeed come our way in the next few years, as God is about to shake our nation as never before, but we will learn in this season of testing to "entrust our spirit into the Lord's hand." 

We have had a real year of trials of our faith, yet that is what makes Christians stronger! King David said it this way, in Psalm 34:19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." 

Now is the time to begin drawing into the heart of our Lord and to thank Him for all He has done for us. This is a season in time to decree and press in for you and your family to experience in 2009 and beyond - the Fullness of Blessings!

In the year 2009 

December 31, 2008

In the year 2009 I am going to make you mine, saith the Lord. In 2009 I am going to restore you back to me, saith the Lord.

In 2009 there is going to be a mighty revival of restoration and of healings. Even as I restore you back to me I will restore back to you all that the enemy has stolen from you, saith the Lord. The enemy knows that he has a short time, and he has tried to steal your joy, your relationship with me, your churches, your marriages, your children, your wealth, and even your health, but he shall not prevail! Again, I say unto you that he shall not prevail! In 2009 I will surely make him give it all back to you, saith the Lord your God. In 2009 I will also bring about mighty healings: healings of your churches, healings of your relationships, healings of your families, healings of your marriages, and healings of your bodies. Yes, 2009 will surely be a year of restoration and a year of healings, saith the Lord. 

In 2009 the worldwide economic crisis shall wax worse and worse and by the summer of 2009 you shall hear world leaders talking about and planning a one world economic system which will include a one world economic leader, a one world bank, and a one world currency. This one world economic system will eventually come to pass and will bring about a one world order which will fulfill the word of my prophets from long ago.

In 2009 you will be troubled by my Spirit and drawn to my house by my Spirit as you  behold the wars, the plagues, the pestilences, and the perilous times that will be coming upon the earth, saith the Lord. Within the next few months “new wars” will begin to break out upon the earth. These “new wars” will bring the world to the edge of total destruction, but I will not let it happen, saith the Lord, for the time is not yet. Within the next few months a “new kind” of terror attack will take place “within” countries and nations that love my name. This “new kind” of terror attack will involve weapons of terror that have never been used before. Within the next few months it will be reported that a terrorist with the countenance of a weasel will have died of natural causes. Within the next few months assassinations of world leaders and assassination attempts on world leaders will take place. Fear will be increased and peril will be at every man’s doorstep, but I will not allow any form of destruction to come even near the dwelling places of those that abide under my shadow and lift up my holy name, saith the Lord.

In the midst of these very perilous and fearful times of trouble a mighty revival of restoration and of healings will break out and spread all over the world. The year 2009 will be both a time of fear and a time of revival, saith the Lord.

Prophetic Vision 2009

Stefan Driess

Manchester England UK 

It is War! And the Lord is calling and gathering His heroes.

2009 "Taste and see how good the Lord is"

To start with I’d like to quickly mention that I have never sent a word like this around the Internet until now. However, I feel the Holy Spirit insisting that I pass on the following dream and the word. Furthermore, I am convinced that others have heard similar words too and that it’s not just me who is hearing God speaking about this. And I accept that I, may be, not one hundred percent accurate with some times and dates.

Through everything that is happening at the moment, I am full of faith and joy, because I see how many people are giving there lives to the Lord. Because of this, I don’t want to be someone who “jumps onto the bandwagon” of negativity. And yet I see myself as being obliged to my loving Father and His wonderful Bride (The Church) to write down what I saw. What follows is a small extract of what will be available on CD in our online shop www.friendsoftheprophetic.co.uk (from the New Year one, please send us an email if you would like to have the CD)

"Watch and Pray"

On 16/12/08 I woke up early in the morning, after I had a dream.

This meeting (in the dream) followed a confrontation in prayer in East Germany (Plauen). In this prayer the Holy Spirit had led me to call out prophetic proclamations and by doing this, to come against territorial powers. (I personally only do this very rarely, and only when the Holy Spirit leads me very clearly.) 

In the dream, Satan sat opposite me in a black, open carriage. In the carriage were the following: Satan, me and a woman wearing pajamas. This woman did not look threatening at all, however I sensed that I was, in some way, connected with her. She kept very quiet, but sat on my left between Satan and I observed the situation.

In the dream Satan had assumed the form of a well-dressed and good looking young man. The carriage was moving, but it didn’t have any horses and also I couldn’t recognize any scenery. It was as though we were hovering in a vacuum. (This is because the devil himself has no power over us)

I knew immediately that the accuser of the brothers, the murderer of people and the one who distorts was sitting opposite me. And I knew that we were standing opposed to each other and I accepted the challenge.

Satan warned me that I should stop taking his land from him and he threatened to kill me. I answered him:

"YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME – I BELONG TO THE HIGHEST ONE OF ALL. I AM A SERVANT OF JESUS AND YOU HAVE LOST. I HAVE BEEN SENT TO TAKE THE LAND AND I AM HERE BY HIM AND YOU WILL GO, IN JESUS’ NAME."

As I was speaking these words, a confrontation began. The spirit of intimidation and fear went out from Satan and tried to attack on me. But through my WORDS, which are the WORDS of God, he was pushed back and could not stay there. So I did not shrink back, and I remained seated.

I did not fear that I may really have stepped on to his territory that he had taken for himself.

Satan became furious and he changed his beautiful appearance, so that his face changed into an ugly grimace which was cursing me.

However, I was surrounded by the love and glory of my Father. There was a determination in me – and also a certain righteous anger and I knew: I will not retreat one millimeter; he must go and not me. I have to say that I even enjoyed the confrontation to a certain extent, because the boldness of the Lion of Judah was upon me. And the fire of His passion was in me.

I then recognized that the woman (the Church) looked as though she was going to sleep and did not notice at all that Satan had put the pajamas (passivity / powerlessness) on her.

I turned to the woman (Church) and ripped the pajamas off her body (however her nakedness could not be seen, she was not exposed). After this I woke up. It was 3:25 in the morning and the Lord gave me Proverbs 3:25: "Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” (Verse 26)

The room I slept in was full of the power and glory of God.

I then prayed for some time, called out the victory of Jesus and took the Lords Supper (Communion). 

Then I started to sing a song in the Spirit (The text went something like this):

"The Lord is gathering his heroes, the war has begun. He is calling his heroes and hidden heroes from the ends of the Earth, to gather them together for the last Great Battle. With fire in their eyes and the sword in the hand they are riding through the land on a white horse. Who is riding with the Lord, to go out into the fight? Who is riding with the Lord, his victorious hand?

An army of white warriors, courageous in battle. They beg the Lord to send them to the front lines, where they can look the darkness in the eye. The Lord is gathering and calling his heroes; David’s heroes, wake up and pray, because the dark night has begun.

Do not worry, but stay awake and pray, because Satan has once again called his army to battle. The land will be covered with the blood of the holy ones, who lose their lives for the land. In Rome, people will hear about screams, and about things being shaken up in the land. "

Then the Lord gave me this verse: Luke 21:36

"Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."

As long as 2 months ago I woke up in the morning and heard a voice say: "The battle has begun." And I know that we will see riots, darkness, violence and hate more than ever before. Satan has sent his Goliaths to intimidate the Church and cause her people to fall into a kind of sleep, because they think that everything is all right. ( Be aware sleeping Church)

I believe that we will see a sign at VW (the car manufacture) and that VW is also symbolic language for “VATER WARTE" (which is German for “FATHER WAIT”) or "Vertraue und Warte" (which is German for “Trust and Wait”). I believe that it is a time when the Spirit of God is calling the intercessors, the Watchman on the WALL, calling the Church to step out of her passivity and introspection.

Satan is coming as an angel of light and this was NOT LAKELAND, but he has already lulled the Church to sleep, so that she simply accepts everything and does nothing. “A spirit of powerlessness has seized you, Bride of Christ. The Lord is calling the prophets to go into action against Satan and not to run away from the confrontations. He is calling the Church to arise and be a prophetic voice." DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM JEZEBEL (manipulation and control)

During the Christmas period the enemy is planning an attack against the symbol (Christmas), the centre of Christianity – a Savior has been born for us. We can stop this, by being watchful in prayer. Every one who hears His voice: proclaim, use prophetic prayer, join together, you heroes of God. The heroes shall come together in various parts of the land (from 2009 onwards) and will not retreat. They will penetrate into Satan’s kingdom. They will not be influenced by his beauty, which is so deceptive (money/riches/appearance/reputation). His threats will not stop them.

In the visible realm we can see this already: In San Francisco homosexuals attacked a group of young, praying Christians, because they were praising God, in a homosexual part of town. In response to that, the homosexuals brought curses and warnings: "You Christians shall not come in to our part of town!” The emergency police had to intervene and rescue the Christians from this part of town. (Jezebel versus the spirit of Elijah)

Now Satan will show his true face more and more.

Wake up, you who sleep – Wake up and change your life!

Then the Lord gave me:

Luke 22:36: "He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

Stand up Church and wake from your sleep. In this time, the spirit of bravery will be poured out over the ones who dare to resist the battle lines of the enemy.

Pull your pajamas down and do not be afraid of your own nakedness. Let the light of My repentance shine on you. Recognize, in My light, what heroes I have made you into. The heroes whom I shall release in the days and years to come will not always be like you have expected them to be and yet, for the sake of My honor, they will oppose evil. "See, darkness is covering the earth and thick darkness is covering the nations, but the glory of God has risen upon you. Stop grumbling and complaining and devouring each other, like beasts of the field. But become one, having MY WORD and MY THOUGHTS and MY WAYS.

Because in the time of darkness my name will be honored and you will experience what this means:

"Taste and see how good the Lord is".

I give you these words, my heroes, for 2009. With a smile on their face my heroes will go into battle and on their banner it will say:

Taste and see how good the Lord is.

and "FOR HIS GLORY"

Do not believe the lying spirits of Satan that have moved into the land to confuse you and to cause divisions between you. Wake up and recognize that I am the Lord and that I am not afraid of anyone.

When you see the water burst its banks in Poland, you will know that I am the Lord. And something will also “suddenly” happen in your land.

Wake up, my intercessors, and stand on the wall, just like the prophet also stood and waited. In Heaven there is no recession; my WORD is always the same. 2009 will be a year of opportunities for those who have prepared themselves. It will be a year to also take land in the natural. I will release strategies from Heaven into the economy. In this time I will use people who have gone through the fire und have devoted themselves to me, as Josephs and Daniels."

I, Stefan, sense, and received, a strong urge to pray for Angela Merkel.( the German Chancellor) The Lord is using this woman, but the enemy is planning an attack against her or for her to be in an accident. There will be different attacks against people in strategic governmental positions in different nations. 

Pray, pray, you watchman! Take the sword of the Word and Spirit and do not shrink back.

Heaven is not panicking, THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH ARE STILL IN MY HANDS SAYS THE LORD – stop pointing the finger at one another and purify your hearts in worship, because worship is mine: once again you will hear that a general in my Army shall fall, for this is the time that I have announced. My dear children, I must circumcise your hearts, so that all blindness can go and you see, as I see.

But if you accuse and hate your brother, how much darkness is in you?
Worship will reach new levels in the spirit in 2009 and there will be a battle about the worship.

Worship , Worship, Worship me - when the world will cry- Worship me!

Wake up and strengthen that which is dying, take your eye ointment and purify yourself. 

(the eye ointment is the revelation of the Holy Spirit for your situation)

In the next years I will begin to confront the works of Jezebel in society and in my Church. I will reveal manipulation and satanic control. More corruption scandals will become visible, so that some people’s ability to trust will even be completely ruined. 

“Who can we still trust?”, they will say. Fire, fire, fire says the Lord. More than ever before, you will recognize the signs in the visible realm and hear Me speaking through them. Very many things that you will see in the visible realm in the next years will be a sign, and speech, from Me.

This is the time to become one. Everyone who builds HIS KINGDOM (My movement/My ministry/My Church/My people etc.), will reap the fruits of what he has sown (divisions/blindness and fruitlessness/standstill).

The true heroes, who have my heart, will gather together and stand together for my Kingdom. In the years to come you will recognize that I have sent you INTO the WORLD. 

INTO the DARKNESS and not into YOUR IDEAL WORLD.

Even in the Press I will raise my voice and you shall hear that I am the one who appoints Kings and deposes Kings. Pay attention to Russia, because the Bear will try to take land in this time of change and shaking. And he will not even shrink back from ancient boundaries. When you see and hear this, remember that the Lion will roar, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

But before He roars, the false lion, who has no more teeth, will roar one more time. So, dear children, do not give in to his roar (fear), because with each one who gives their heart over to fear and confusion, he ( the devil) takes more land. Fear and lies will be one of the spirits who will try to enter the sleeping church.

You are children of the light and even in these times the WORD remains: "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." (James 1:17)

I am not like a person, who gets divorced in difficult times and hardens his heart. I have sworn by my name, because there is no-one higher. And so I have become engaged to you and am waiting for the wedding. Because of this, be ready, my Bride. Come out of your cave and step out of your entertainment mentality and recognize what the Spirit is saying to the Church.

Some of you have such a fear of false prophets and Christ’s, that you are permanently looking out for them and don’t look at the true Christ at all any more.

But in these times, come TO ME and learn FROM ME, because I will also shatter the ones who have made themselves into, and called themselves, stars: but do not worry, for me, your Father, am with you. And my love will never leave you, so don’t run away. Surrender to my glory, which will heal and release you. Not by army, might or any people, says the Lord, but by My Spirit. I am the same yesterday, today and for ever. HEB.13:8

So hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church: Heroes, wake up, because the Lord is calling His Army to battle, for the true (awesome) fear of the Lord. The true fear of the lord will be released in the next 5 years- and this true understanding of my greatness and holiness will change you my bride more then anything else you have seen before.

You married couples, wake up and do not sleep, because your fight is not against flesh and blood. Respect and submit to one another, in the love that you have for Christ, which is in you. For the liar and the one who confuses is targeting the covenant of marriage for attack at this time and many of my children have not recognized where the deceptions and lies come from. Be alert and pray!

I am a GOD of COVENANT and I will be faithful.

Please pass this e-mail on to prayers, for whom this info will be important.

Times of Transition

January 16, 2009 

The body of Christ is entering into a time of transition. Many of you have been a time of intense trials for the past several months and some of you have been in a time of intense training. For those of you that have experienced this spiritual boot camp or may still be in it, stay strong and steadfast because the Lord is about to bring you into an awesome season as you continue to endure. The other day I was in a grocery store and I overheard two men talking about the times that we are living in. One man was complaining about the economy and then the other man spoke up and said, well you know the old saying buddy: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I thought to myself that this mere man probably is not even a Christian but he has the right mind set. The body of Christ needs to learn not to be moved by adversity. We are in Covenant with Jesus who promises to keep His Word to us. For those of you that are going through storms this is His promise to you as you continue to endure.

Luke 6: 47 - 48
Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

I understand that some of you may be going through an extremely difficult time in your life and it seems like everything is shifting. You may be in an uncomfortable place right now but don't make the mistake of going back to the old door and opening it again if you know that God closed it. On the other hand it is even worse to assume that God is opening a new door for you if you are being led by your emotions. Your will is a powerful tool, therefore you must learn to use it wisely. When Jesus opens a door for you or makes a way for you there will be no fear, neither will it won't be difficult or stressful.

Revelation 3: 8
I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

For those of you that have been waiting on a word or promise from the Lord and you are not seeing it come to pass, don’t allow discouragement to take root. We are entering into a season of promises and destinies that are going to be fulfilled. Don’t give up or compromise in the eleventh hour. The greatest challenge is not what you went through in the past but it is the success of your future. The challenges that you are going through now will be the success of your future. Wait on the vision that was promised to you. It will very soon come to pass.

Habakkuk 2: 2 - 4
Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

Many of you know that you are coming into a new season and are on the threshold of new beginnings but you are don't have total clarity.  His plan will begin to unfold as you diligently seek Him in this time of transition. Don't listen to the lies of the enemy. Jill Austin who recently passed away was an awesome prophetess. She said in her book "Dancing with Destiny": The enemy sees your potential. He knows that your life has God ordained destiny. Your dreams are dangerous to him. If you embrace Gods full purposes for your life, you will be a powerful weapon to defeat him and bring freedom to many. Don't get weary in well doing, what God promised you shall come to pass.

Galatians 6: 9
And Let us Not Be Weary in Well Doing: for In Due Season We Shall Reap, If we Faint Not.

Word From: SANDY FREED

Properly Aligned and On Time in 2009

Fellow Believers, for several months now I have been praying for a directive word for the Body of Christ for 2009 so that we can apply our faith toward the Word of the Lord. God is faithful. Allow me to share what I have been hearing from Him for our season.

I awoke this last Christmas morning by a "sound from Heaven." I am reminded, as I write this message, that it was at the same time last year that I was awakened with the sound of an alarm clock ringing. Then came a message from Heaven about "being at the faith gate for 2008." If ever we needed faith, it was in the year of 2008! I'm certain I don't need to list all of the ways our faith has been challenged during 2008. And yet, we will still need great levels of faith to move forward into 2009!

The key is this - our faith must be properly aligned with His Word. In other words, we are to co-labor with Him and His directives in order to continue to move forward in this next season.

The Symphony

The sound I heard this time was the sound of music. It was the beautiful, harmonious sound of a symphony, yet there was only one note played! It was so incredibly beautiful and harmonious, yet so distinct the sound jolted me from bed! Even as I continue to write I am filled with awe how, on Christmas morning, I was alerted to a sound from Heaven - as if it were announcing the day to celebrate the gift of Jesus who was sent to redeem us!

I was very aware that the symphonic sound of only one note meant something very specific, so I pressed into Heaven to hear what God was saying. Being just "one note" from a symphony symbolizes the unity and the "oneness" in Christ. After all, Heaven's symphony will always resound unity. We are to be one with Him and His purposes for our lives.

Being in unity with His Word means that we not only remain strong in our faith and His ability to sustain in troubled times, but also there is an added dimension of co-laboring with one another in the Body of Christ. To be one with Him is to be one with each other and walk in agreement with His purposes.

The Power of Agreement

Using the Amplified Version of the Bible, we notice how praying and being in agreement creates the unity and sound as does a symphony:

"Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever (anything and everything) they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in Heaven." Matthew 18:19

Wow! Is that awesome? When we agree, God moves on our behalf because the power of agreement creates a symphonic sound.

Let's not for one moment think the enemy is going to allow unity. No! He will attempt to bring disunity among Believers and also cause us to misalign with God's Word - therefore, we will not be in unity with God's purposes. Satan desires that we "bow down" to his seducing lies so we do not trust God, or one another. Precious ones, if we do not trust God we will never be able to trust others. To continue to not trust God will cause us to remain circling in the wilderness.

I am reminded of Nebuchadnezzar and how he built an idol and commanded several instruments to make a "sound" and all who heard it were to bow down:

"Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up." Daniel 3:7

Interestingly, the word sound in this passage means to have a voice. The instruments together were creating a harmonious sound; each tone in perfected alignment and agreement, coming together to make one sound, being one voice, for the kingdom of darkness. Compare that to the benefits we as Believers have when we make a voice in agreement; we create a mighty, mighty force for God's Kingdom!

As Believers, when we study the benefits of praying in "agreement" or praying in "agreement" with one another, we realize that we become a mighty force for the Kingdom of God. The word agree in Greek is sumphoneo and it means "to be harmonious, (to be) in one accord and in unity." Therefore, when we come into agreement with God's Word then we agree in unity with His sound and as we speak forth His Word we are a part of the symphony of Heaven.

On another note, Nebuchadnezzar built the idol in the plain of Dura, which means "to encircle." Our enemy desires to encircle us with doubt and unbelief which will keep us circling in the wilderness. Let's not heed the sound of disunity or idolatry in this next year. Let's be determined to not bow down to the seductive voice of the enemy so that we can be on time for our breakthroughs. Being in the right place at the right time will be extremely important in our next season.

I heard the Lord say that in 2009 He is "awakening the sleeping giant." The Church is arising out of her lack of passion and He is releasing His fire to cause us to arise and shine in 2009.

On Time in 2009

God is going to redeem the time in 2009 so that we are properly positioned and aligned in the coming year. God desires for us to be on His timetable - in fact I heard Him say, "Your time is Mine in 2009!" As He redeems our time, there will be nothing else that matters to us except that we are on time according to His direction. The Lord has been competing with the cares of this world for our attention. Considering how we have been challenged in 2008, we have realized we cannot control our future - our future is in Him.

Much of our focus has been self-centered rather than Him-centered. This has caused an alert from Heaven which is declaring that our times are now His in this new season.

There are several directives listed below that we are to give directional attention to in 2009:

1. We must reorder our days so that our time becomes His.

This means that at the beginning of your daily watch, give your time to God and set your day in order. This will insure you being at the right place at the right time. It's one thing to "declare" favor, but to walk in it we must be at the door of opportunity at the right time! I love Chuck Pierce's book Reordering Your Day. His book is timely for this season. In his book, he discusses the need to watch over each of our days and allow the Lord to set our day in order.

Dear Believers, this is absolutely necessary. We are at war and anyone who has been in the military understands the importance of each watch. Without a watch we are vulnerable to an attack of the enemy. To "watch," according to Chuck, means to "peer into the distance, to investigate, or get a new scope on something, to see an approaching danger" (page 9).

The Lord is promising to "redeem the time" in 2009, but first we must become responsible for "watching over our time" so that "our time aligns with His time." As a result, "Your time becomes Mine," according to the word of the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-18 instructs us to arise and goes on to say that this, along with gaining wisdom, is necessary to redeem the time.

Therefore, as God redeems our time there is a transformation that is also taking place within us as Believers. Each of us has our part to play, a responsibility of obedience, in order for the Lord to redeem our time and place us "in His time." And, we must remember that it is our responsibility to walk in light if we desire for Him to redeem our time.

"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

"Therefore He says: 'Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.' See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God." Ephesians 5:8-21

In this next year, let's ask the Lord to not only order our day and place us within His timeframe, but also to be the light to the world. This is our highest calling, to be like Him - the Light. If this takes first place in our hearts, all else aligns properly.

2. Break out of Passivity and be focused to fight. We are His army, and we are at war with darkness!

First, let me state that I don't believe we can battle effectively unless our day is ordered and we are in sync with His time. We can war and shout, but unless He is in the shout we are wasting our time. Numbers 23:21 basically says that we, as Believers, cannot be cursed because the shout of the King is within us.

Let's take "time" to develop the shout of God within us this year so that we truly win the battles ahead. I am not referring to merely shouting upon instruction during a church service; I am talking about the shout from God Himself that rises up within our spirits and is then released into the atmosphere to release our promised breakthroughs. The word shout in Numbers 23:21 refers to not only a shout of praise to their king, but it also refers to a shout of triumph. It is the same shout that was used to demolish the walls of Jericho. (Joshua 6).

We must realize that this type of shout is developed out of relationship and faith in God and not merely a shout directed simply by a hyped up or emotional condition. This type of shout is based out of a passionate desire to know God and move with His purposes. This is a shout that will break us out of tradition and passivity.

3. Be willing to Fight for Your Family and the Next Generation.

The "Family" includes not only your natural family, but also the "Family of God." It is time to go to war for those who co-labor with us and our spiritual leaders, as well as our children and other natural family members. We have been a selfish generation, focused on self-achievement. Now we have come to the place where we must reproduce into the next generation.

I felt that the Lord quickened me to begin to be like Abraham and become one who "crossed over." Abraham was a Hebrew which means one who "crosses over" (Strong's #5674). When he received knowledge that Lot and his family were taken captive by the five Amorite kings, he gathered his trained servants and pursued them unto Dan.

A quick study on the four Amorite kings gives valuable information on how to release our own family from generational strongholds and empower them to redeem their times and seasons:

Chedorlaomer, the King of Elam: His name means "the binding of sheaves. We can defeat a "binding" spirit if we come into agreement with God and His Word. Interestingly, Chedorlaomer's territory was Elan which implies "eternity." We are binding strongholds with eternity in mind. We must become a people of purpose, realizing that what we do really does affect eternal purposes.

The second king Abraham battled and defeated was Tidal. His name means "terrible, great fear, make afraid and to cause to shrink back and crawl away." Doesn't this sound like a tactic of the devil against us today? Satan would love to see us shrink back from our God-given assignments. Tidal's territory was "The Nations." This is self-explanatory - satan does not want us concerned with nations. However, God is VERY concerned with nations and so should we be. I believe that in 2009 there will be a monumental release for Believers to impact nations as never before because God is putting nations into our hearts.

The third king was Shinar and his territory was Amraphel. His name means "sayer of darkness" and his dominion was known as ancient Babylon. The enemy is speaking over our wealth and declaring that we will continue to struggle with a poverty mentality. Satan is speaking darkness over church breakthroughs, finances and our government. We must arise and agree with what God declares over our finances and breakthroughs in this next season so that when the doors of opportunity open, we are positioned to go through.

The fourth king was the King of Ellasar and his dominion was Arioch. His name translates a "lion-like" and his dominion translates as "God is the chastener." The enemy continues to be as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, yet we must not heed his sound. But, rather we should believe God to chastise our enemy.

The Lord says this: "I am going to vindicate many who have been falsely accused in the past. I will not only vindicate, but I will utterly destroy the unclean strongholds which have set themselves as a fortress against My people. In the midst of great famine and confusion, I will pour out My spirit. Those who are on time and positioned, just as Joseph in the days of famine, I will cause to prosper in a great way. Many feel that darkness is consuming them, but I say no! You will not be burned by the fiery trials. You who feel imprisoned and alone, I am about to release you into your dreams and even as Joseph came forth in My timing so will you!"

In my recent book, Strategies From Heaven's Throne, I discuss in great detail the five different strongholds that we must defeat to release our families from satan's evil grip. I believe this book will be very instrumental as you obtain your future and war for your families.

Arise and Shine on Time!

It is Time to Arise and Strengthen ourselves with faith and expectation for our future. During this season, we are changing garments and the enemy hates it because as we exchange our old garments for new ones we are becoming a new wineskin. Satan desires for us to be chained to our past so that we never achieve our potential. Let me assure you that though all hell is positioned to attempt to defeat us, God is bigger!

Dear ones, this is our finest hour! Don't shrink back, crawl back or go back! Arise, shine, be aligned and on time in 2009!

With Love,

Prophetic Word: 2009 – and On 

These are the words that I heard the Lord say. "The end of something has ended, and a new time has begun for the church." A few days later, my son, Christopher, brought a movie from the library entitled "Anne Frank".  While watching the movie, the Lord brought to my attention, "Notice this Christmas the movies in the theater." There are four movies currently or about to be released all set in World War II Nazi Germany. The Lord said to me, "So, it will be the beginning of persecution for the church: the north, south, east, and west, but God is gathering His generals from north, south, east, and west."

People in government are being setup in their place strategically by the enemy to breakdown morals, values, respect for life, and ultimate freedom. Those who are God's children will find always a place of peace and knowledge. They will have the understanding of the time and move with confidence. A remnant will arise with power and authority, and they will do exploits as Jesus said, " I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father" (John 14:12).

God too has been on the move. Home churches have been growing and becoming more popular as the time goes on. They will be like a hiding place for Christians to come and worship and for support. As the church begins to move in unity and line up with God's agenda, the church will arise in prayer, miracles, supernatural events, and prophecies will take center stage. A great harvest will come in, and God's glory will fill the earth. The enemy will attack, but God's Spirit is hovering all over the earth. 

Those who are real will become stronger, and they will become like consuming fire. The opposite will be for those who have been playing church. Preaching of sound doctrine will be replaced by preaching of sound psychological principles and tolerance for the spirit of disobedience. Many saints will fall away for self-love. We must not give up any more ground. This is the time and season for God's people to shake everything off that needs to be shaken so that our discernment is precise and not polluted by the flesh. Those who do not know how to move in the Spirit will become fruit inspectors instead of fruit bearers hindering the work of God. We must not judge the outward appearance for only God knows the heart. 

The season will change, the map will change, and many voices will come to silence. When will this happen or what year? I do not know. But I do know that God is closer to us now. The church will shine like a lighthouse for the world, and Rochester, NY will experience revival again. The church is about to move in supernatural signs and wonders like no other period in its history through love.

A SEASON OF FRUITFULNESS 2009-2012January 1, 2009
An exhortation from the Father's heart to yours:

Part One

You have entered into a new season of fruitfulness in a dynamic way.  Do not be dismayed or distracted by living in the past when it comes to pruning.  If you want to be fruitful for My kingdom then you must be pruned each season.  The fruitfulness of your life and relationship with Me will be greatly diminished in the coming season if you do not release the pruned branches and let the new growth come forth in its time with its fruit.  Many take a branch that I have loped off and try to stick it back in the Vine.  Do you not know that once I have removed it, it will no longer live or thrive?  At that point one would be guilty of dead works and will fall into judgment (see Matthew 7:21-23). So let it go, release it to Me, and grow into the fruitfulness of this season with Me!

Did Jesus tell you that you are the branches and He is the True Vine?  Is not your Heavenly Father the Vinedresser? Do you trust your Father to know what you need, or do you trust yourself more?  If you are not pruned back and trained by My skilled hand, then you will become unruly and unfruitful.  Because the pruning needed is important to the growth of the branches of the Vine, it takes One who is courageous, has a trained hand and eye, and has your fruitfulness in mind when cutting.  I know, says the Lord, the exact number of buds which should remain for the maximum fruitfulness in the coming season. I correct, train and discipline those I love.  What you believe to be productive growth in the past season, I see as what needs to be pruned back to the Vine for the fruitfulness of the next season. 

Are you growing fruit for My kingdom or yours?  If it is for yours, that fruit will not remain in the age to come; but if it is for My kingdom, then you will allow Me to prune you because you will know it is My love for you that guides My hand.  Understand that when the grapevine is expertly pruned back it often "bleeds" heavily.  This is normal.  I cut back those branches that have grown far and wide.  To your eye they look strong, but to My expert eye I know that the sweetness of the grapes will be compromised in the coming season if they are not removed.  If the branches from the previous season's growth are allowed to develop as they are, they may appear to be fruitful to your eye, but I know the fruit grown in a season with no prior pruning will produce fruit that is sour, dry or bitter.

Child, I know the pruning is difficult, but you can endure it and you will be so much better off for submitting to My hand.  Fighting the pruning will only traumatize you more.  Let Me take from you that which is hindering and allow Me to bring forth new growth you have only imagined.

Be clear that if I have pruned a business, person or a ministry from you, it is for your good and theirs.  It does not necessarily mean that what has been pruned from you has been pruned from Me.  If I have pruned someone or something away from your life, it does not mean it is dead.  It is just dead to you.  Be very careful not to apply this word to things outside of My word. (i.e: trying to justify divorce or a lack of integrity and honesty in the workplace or ministry.)

Now with all this in mind, please allow Me to address some things for the coming year.  2009/5769* is a year for the manifestation of fruitfulness for My Kingdom.  As there are nine noted "Fruits" of My Spirit, there are also nine "Gifts" of My Spirit.  This will be a year of fullness for those who have been trained by My pruning and discipline to walk in My fruit and manifest My gifts. 

Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. NIV
 
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.  NKJV
 
I chose and appointed you to go bear fruit.  Whatever you ask Me in Jesus' name I will give it when you ask according to My will.  It is My will which is to be done on the earth as it is already being done in heaven.  Come boldly to My Throne of Grace to receive mercy in your time of need.  Do you not perceive the great cost and price Jesus paid to rend the veil to the Holy of Holies so that you are allowed to come boldly to Me in your time of need?  I am telling you to come boldly!  When you come boldly you reveal your trust in Me and prove that you believe My Word over your feelings.

The spiritual fruitfulness, or lack thereof, in this present season will touch and reach into 2012.  Divine order in My Body will begin to take shape in 2010.  In 2011 those who are of the leaven of heaven 1 will be revealed.  Conversely those claiming to be Mine but partake in the leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees and Herod 2 will be exposed.  Leaven will be exposed in the hearts of all and will reveal order or disorder, righteousness or unrighteousness, faithfulness or faithlessness.  Those full of love for Me will triumph over hatred and treachery. 

This exposé will set up My perfection of government in 2012.  The degree of trust in Me that you exhibit in the present pruning will determine the levels of harvest in coming years and specifically in the next four years.  Expect a greater pruning in 2011 and consequently a huge harvest to come in 2012 - if and only if you allow Me to cut away the long branches which will grow from this present pruning.  I tell you this ahead of time so that you will not hold onto what I am about to release to you.  Allow the healing from this pruning and see what fruit - what glorious fruit I will bring forth!
 
Part Two

As you fully give yourself to the pruning of this season, you will find yourself bearing all nine fruits.  Love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control are all within your reach when all that encumbers you is pruned back and removed.  Let Me clean away the dead, dying, and yes, living branches to make way for the new, the sweet and the satisfying fruit to come.

Then and only then will you be able to walk fully in the gifts of the Sprit.  As you see need, each gift will be made manifest.  Whoever needs a word of wisdom will find her.  Knowledge will be accessible by the same Spirit.  Faith will come as you move forward.  Going back is not an option when you have reached a place where you know, you truly know, you will not retreat but you will go forth in faith.  Not faith in yourself and your abilities, but faith in Me.

The gift of healing that so many desire will be given to those who trust and have faith in My Spirit to do the healing and look to Me to touch those who are ill and tortured.  To those needing healing I say look to Me and stop hunting down man - roaming from meeting to meeting. I will bring you to where you need to be in order to receive from Me the healing you desire.  Be still and know that I Am God.  When all the voices are quieted, you will then be able to clearly hear Me and know what I Am saying to you.

The working of miracles will be the norm as you walk in My Spirit and allow Me to lead you.  My prophetic words will flow from My Throne Room of Grace.  You will discern spirits both good and bad and you will avoid many pitfalls as you walk in My discernment.  You will meet others who walk under the banner of My love and there in that gathering you will find a Body moving as one.  One will speak an unknown language and another will share what I have spoken.  Songs will come in one language you know not and be sung in one you do know.

So beloved, do not despise the pruning you are going through.  I will prune EXACTLY what needs to be removed so that the fruit of the coming season will be sweet and delicious and will give life to all who partake.
 
 
1) The leaven of Heaven = is the yeast of the Love of God that causes us to rise up and be sweet to those around us. To be the taste of heaven here on earth that comes out to those around us through our relationship with Jesus - the Bread of Life.

Matthew 13:3 He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough."

2)  The leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees and Herod = Leaven of the Pharisees is the puffed up, full of hot air, prideful religious spirit that seeks to usurp God's grace with works.  It seeks the accolades and praise of man. This spirit was the most active spirit that nailed Jesus to the Cross (see Matt 12:14 and John 19:6) though this spirit worked in concert and in union with the spirit of Herod to accomplish this goal (see Mark 15:15-20). 
The spirit of Herod does not value life, is worldly, self-centered, based in sensual pleasure and is secular in nature (see Matthew 2:16; 14:1-12).  The spirit of the Sadducees' is false religion.  They believe there was no resurrection (see Mark 12:18). They later persecuted the early church (see Acts 5:17, 18, 40).
 
Matthew 16:6 "Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

11 "How is it you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Mark 8: 15 Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

Subject: word of the lord for 2009....

Date: Tuesday, December 30, 2008, 10:18 AM

The Lord spoke to me last night and said 2009 is the year to realign and i asked him to realign how? and he said, realign in purpose, position, and possession. Purpose=assignment, position=power, and possession=ownership/dominion.  

The Word of the Lord in 2009 is the best year and season ever for the people of God. THE SILENCE IS ABOUT TO BE BROKEN, and the prophetic mantle is about to be released again; and yea says God, "I AM about to manifest,  but this time it shall be through prophetic creative declaration. My true prophets shall be known because they shall see clearly, speak clearly, and hear clearly without fear. Every false prophet will die upon opening their mouths to speak, and every naysayer will be exposed;  for,  my truth shall be spoken. Kingdoms will crumble, false shepherds will be stopped, for I, shall use my prophetic word to shift destinies, allign the nations, change laws, break codes, and every plot, ploy, and plan of the evil one. For I shall remember you in this season and this year to bring to pass every prophecy that has been spoken over your life;  for thus says the Lord,  these prophetic declarations shall protect you and favor you.

YES THE SILENCE IS BROKEN- the silence of dryness, financial instability, fear, doubt, and every other bondage.You shall enjoy seasons of uncommon blessings, and unusual outpourings of my spirit and power. Stay open, stay in order;  and i shall surely bring this to past.

A dream from Thanh Nguyen‏

From: Thanh Nguyen (nthanh61@yahoo.com)
Sent: Fri 1/02/09 3:24 PM

Hi Susan, I have a dream the other day and felt that the Lord wanted me to send it to you. In the dream I was in the South Side of Chicago somewhere around/near MIDWAY airport. As I looked up into the sky, I saw a lot of airplanes flying up and once they fly within a certain airspace, they all would dropped straight down. I saw waves after waves of planes would (all the planes were flying up) fly up and dropped straight down when they reached this airspace. Then I cried because there were so many people in those planes and they would all perish. And I wanted to warn those planes not to fly into those air space but there were nothing I could do.

Then I saw military helicopters flying to the rescue and the same thing happened to them, all would crashed when they reached that zone. However, I saw one helicopter crashed in front of me and there was only the pilot in it but he survived the crash. After that, I saw people on the ground were being grouped together and were limited to where they could go to prevent panic. Noone were allowed to go any where except for a few people and I was one of those who were allowed to go. And even then, we have to tell the authority that we know this group "ISRAEL AND THE NEW BREED" before we were allowed to go through. I am not so sure about the interpretations but I'd like to send it to you to see what you think. 

I felt like the Lord was telling me that we're at the Midway point (I am not sure of what) and a lot of large ministries will crash and taking along many people with them. Those who try to recue these ministries will crash also but their life would be spared. After that the only people who are allowed to go on are the nation of Israel and this new breed of Christians who have forsaked all and follow Christ.

Hi Thanh,     

Here is your dream with my comments below....

I have a dream the other day and felt that the Lord wanted me to send it to you.    In the dream I was in the South Side of Chicago somewhere around/near MIDWAY airport. As I looked up into the sky, I saw a lot of airplanes flying up and once they fly within a certain airspace, they all would dropped straight down. I saw waves after waves of planes would (all the planes were flying up) fly up and dropped straight down when they reached this airspace. 

You are correct, we are MIDWAY in the process of the transformation of His Church into what she will be. It is not an easy season, but it is very necessary, for the church to be the overcoming bride that she is to be. The Lord has drawn a prophetic line and nothing of the flesh, including our works, ministries, and labors will cross over into the new things the Lord is opening up before us. It will all fall as the chaff before us.    

Then I cried because there were so many people in those planes and they would all perish. And I wanted to warn those planes not to fly into those air space but there were nothing I could do. Then I saw military helicopters flying to the rescue and the same thing happened to them, all would crashed when they reached that zone. However, I saw one helicopter crashed in front of me and there was only the pilot in it but he survived the crash. 

Actually, the word says that the true sheep hear His Voice and will not follow another, so the falling away and the falling for a season, is to purify and to strengthen that which is to remain. Some will fall for a season, only to arise and to finish what the Lord has given them to do. The separation of the true people of God from the tares and from the wolves has begun. God knows how to take care of His babes. Not one will be lost that is truly His.    

After that, I saw people on the ground were being grouped together and were limited to where they could go to prevent panic. Noone were allowed to go any where except for a few people and I was one of those who were allowed to go. And even then, we have to tell the authority that we know this group "ISRAEL AND THE NEW BREED" before we were allowed to go through. 

The transformed Body Of Christ that has been, and still is being formed by the Lord, will consist of Jew and Gentile brethren who have been prepared through these fires. Great authority and responsibility are being given to these new leaders and this authority will be released through the newly emerging leaders who are just now beginning to step forwards and these ones will set a new standard that the church will also stand up to embody.

The current battle going on in Gaza this week is only a sign of the beginning of the new spiritual offensive that will also take place.  

Thank you for sending this in for us all to glean from and to pray over....... -Susan    

I am not so sure about the interpretations but I'd like to send it to you to see what you think.

 Prophetic Words for 2009
A Word From: NEVILLE JOHNSON

Dec. 28, 2008

On December the 19th 2008 while praying early in the morning I found myself walking with the Lord through the streets of Jerusalem, modern day Jerusalem. I said to the Lord; “Lord why are we here?” The Lord turned to me and said, “Israel is preparing for war you need to pray for the safety of the city, pray for protection against missiles that carry explosives and chemical warheads, the enemy will try and pre-empt the prophesies and bring forward Armageddon thus seeking to wipe out Israel and stop the Gentile harvest”.

Suddenly I saw many Lions in the city: I said “Lord why are their Lions here?” He said “they are hidden Apostles who will help in protecting the city, they will go with the Israeli aircraft and help them achieve their goal, if you pray the enemies plans will be thwarted, pray against the activation of suicide cells within Jerusalem.” The Lord then looked at me and said, “The time is now short all things which the prophets spoke regarding Israel and the church will soon be fulfilled.” The Lord stopped and looked at me and said, “it is time for the Lions the Apostles to come forth” as the Lord said this I was aware of many Lions around the world being alerted to this crisis and beginning to stand against the enemy, many of these Apostles have been as yet hidden and generally unknown.” The Lord continued, “Just like you are being alerted to this crisis they are being alerted to the plans of the enemy. I said “Why the Apostles Lord I thought this was the Prophets Job” The Lord looked at me again and said, “I have alerted many prophets also but the Apostles have a different kind of Authority, Apostles not only can know the plans of the enemy but they will know what to do, Apostles can operate in a war mode to destroy the enemy, unlike the Eagles they can engage the enemy head on, their roar will bring great fear to the enemy they will not stop until they engage and destroy” The Lord seemed to be contemplating something finally saying, “ The Lions are very territorial and will reclaim the earth.”

Suddenly I found myself with the Lord in some kind of Hi-Tec military facility, missiles were being prepared for firing the Lord said to me breath on these missiles, as I did this I became aware that some of the internal computer systems in the missiles had been changed. The men working on these missiles turned and looked my way but obviously could not see me but they felt something. Next I saw the president of Iran he was pacing up and down in a very ornate room similar to what you would find in a palace, in this room were about a dozen other men, the Lord said to me Roar which I did, as I roared 5 times confusion came into that room and these men appeared to be very confused.

We need to pray earnestly for the protection of Israel as the enemy is seeking to annihilate her and take control of the Middle East. If Israel falls into the hands of Islamic forces the plans and purposes of God will be greatly hindered and the gentile harvest will be in jeopardy. If the enemy is able to pre-empt Armageddon the time allocated by God for the gentile harvest to be reaped will be changed and the harvest will be lost. Pray that Iran will not get involved, pray that if Israel bombs the nuclear facilities in Iran that the mission will be successful and the casualties few.

Prophecy for church
Thursday, January 1, 2009, 5:06 AM

I don't know the correct protocol if you receive a prophesy for the church, on this site.  If you are not to send it to you, I apologise and ask that you forgive me and put it down to lack of knowledge.  I received this tonight: 

"You have seen My daughter that a great and mighty wave of the Spirit is coming.  It is coming to clean and sweep away everything in itʼs path that is not of  Me.  The rushing wind is coming forth from the north, south, east and west to blow My Spirit into the mouths of those waiting to be redeemed and follow My ways though it costs them.  The cost to My people is their lives, liberty and happiness but in return they will receive a crown of righteousness, the garment of praise and the fullness of power of the Holy Spirit.  My precious ones, will be in turmoil as I lift them to the heights of the Spirit and cause their feet to walk on the golden pathway prepared for them.  My ones that have My heart will be the ones that will journey to the heavenly places and touch the very face of God.  The glory of the Lord shall overshadow and make whole, shore up the weak foundations and bring to nought those that are against My plan for this earth.  The sword of division has fallen but the healing balm of gilead is to tend the wounds of the lost and hurting.  I desire sacrifice not duty towards Me.  I desire that your heart is breaking to follow in the path of the martyrs than be cold and indecisive of your calling.  May the blessing of God move you to new heights of commitment and service in Me.  May the army of the Lord make themselves ready for battle, learn to fight with the essence and fire of My presence.  All things will be removed and placed in the way of the Lord.  Those things that have eternal value are to be treasured as gold and silver.  The dross is burnt in the furnace of lost hopes and dreams.  My people did not recognise Me when I came to them as a baby.  A mighty general defeating the Romans was expected.  A baby that caused the blind to see, the lame to walk and the deaf to hear was overlooked. Thus shall it be, in the second coming, My children look for Me in the places of the past, I am in the future, the way of new wineskins. The box of oppression is not My home, I am the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.  I span the heavens and ride the winds of change.  I change not, but you must change to fit the new wineskin that is being prepared for you. The old keys and doors and ways are gone, the new has come and it will be glorious. It will take patience on behalf of the saints, it will take courage and endurance to rise into the Spiritʼs flight.  My children soar as an eagle and let your heart not fear the journey, it is decreed by the Lord that I will never leave you or forsake you, your needs will be met and night and day shall continue until the end. The glorious light of heaven shall be your light and will guide you on the path to Me." 

Regards Lynette

Tiffany DeVillier, Jeff Meikel,  and Margaret:

Tiffany DeVillier (Vision)

Just as I started to drift suddenly I found myself up in the heavenlies above the clouds. This place was dark. I saw swirling winds and swirling clouds and within the clouds was fire and within the fire was the Shekinah glory as I saw red, orange, blue, and white within the flames swirling within the clouds.

Then I saw five angels. The first angel had a shofar raised to his mouth and was standing to the side. The other four angels were facing center and standing in the positions of south, west, north, and east.

Then I heard the sound of the shofar go forth. I saw the angel to the south step forward to the center. As he stepped forward I heard the sound of thunder. It was rumbling through the heavenlies and then the sound got louder and louder until it shook the entire earth.

Then I heard the sound of the shofar again. This time the angel to the west stepped forward to the center and in his hands was fire. I watched as he tossed the fire down to the earth and it spread throughout the whole earth as a cleansing fire and burned up all that was not of HIM.

Then I heard the sound of the shofar again and the angel to the north stepped forward to the center. When he stepped forward rain fell upon the entire earth and it was a downpour, a drenching rain. The rains washed away everything that was left behind by the fire.

Then I heard the sound of the shofar again and this time the angel to the east stepped forward to the center. When he stepped forward I saw the winds begin to stir as the winds from the four corners of the earth were called forth and I saw these winds sweep throughout the entire earth violently. This wind was sent to blow away everything that was not anchored in HIM and to dry up the waters left from the rains.

Then I heard the sound of the shofar again. This time when I heard it for the 6th time, I heard the cry go forth for the prophets to arise and begin to proclaim, “Prepare ye! Prepare ye! Prepare ye the way of the Lord!” When that cry went forth the prophets began to arise and go forth throughout the whole earth.

Then I heard the cry go out again saying, “Will the true church rise up??? When that sound came forth I saw the angel to the south step forward again. Again I heard the sound of thunder as it rumbled throughout the heavenlies and into the whole earth. It was the time of the great awakening! As the thunder rumbled throughout the entire earth the church began to arise. Then the angel to the west stepped forward - the one with fire - and began to send it forth upon the Bride and ignited the fire within. Then the angel to the North stepped forward - the one with the rain - and sent forth the rain as a refreshing. It was the glory rain and the latter rain together. Yes! It will be greater than the former.

Then the angel to the east stepped up again - the one with the wind- and the wind began to blow upon the bride with a gentle breeze and was sent forth to stir and to cause her to move in power! Then I heard the shofar again for the 7th time and this time it was different. It was loud! It was long! And it was strong! Then I heard the war cry going forth and as the war cry went forth the Bride arose as a mighty army and began to march forward. As the Bride marched forward, I heard choirs of angels singing “And the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our God!”

Jeff Meikle: (Prophetic Word)

The Lord Says, “On 1/1/09 I will begin to Move upon the planet like I have never done before. There will be much shaking and rumbling in the heavens for the Sound of heaven is coming to the earth! You will no longer wonder what it means to not be able to minister or move because of my presence! YOU WILL KNOW MY presence! YOU WILL KNOW MY GLORY!”

The Lord also Says, "Surrender to me. Surrender to me. SURRENDER TO ME! YOU must Cry out! You must CRY out to ME with a passion to BRING heaven down to the earth! YOU MUST CRY OUT! CRY OUT FOR IT! THE SOUND OF Heaven will come to the earth! Surrender! SURRENDER! FOR I AM THE LORD "

Jeff Meikle (Dream)

I dreamed I was in a desert, but it was like I was in all of the world. It seemed like a desert and I had a long robe on and a staff and the wind was blowing really hard. As I placed the staff on the ground, the earth shook like a super nova wave. Then I began speaking against the church and told it to repent for too long it has stolen it has lied BEFORE the Living God. Then fire came forth and consumed the words I spoke and then I saw leaderships falling, pastors falling, teachers falling, youth ministers falling, prophets falling, and apostles falling. It was like one big wave and as I walked on the desert the earth shook some more and the sun was really blazing hot.

When I woke up God said, “My church should be an example to the world, but instead it’s a mockery!” Then I began to weep and weep. My heart was broken. HIS heart is broken right now and HE is weeping for HIS BRIDE!

I dreamed again that I was in the desert. This dream continued from where I woke up in the previous dream. I was not the only one in this dream. There were a few more waiting for the call and we looked up to the heavens and cried out, "When oh Lord, WHEN!" Then a big whirlwind appeared and I cried out, "Lord, let your mercy and just judgment come forth to the earth!" Then the earth shook and trembled and a huge massive angel unlike any I’ve seen before come down from the heavens and He took our staffs and rose from the earth and scattered them. Then fire burst forth from the staffs and the earth trembled once more and then the spirit of the Lord came forth with such might, such power, and the earth began to glow, glow pure Gold and white and blue and red.

Then I looked up again to the heavens and said, "Oh Lord! Mighty are your deeds! We cry out Lord! We cry out for the Bride! Have mercy! HAVE MERCY!" Then I heard a voice saying, "Son of Man! Arise from your slumber! Arise! For the Time is NOW! Speak all that I command you! Speak with boldness!" Then I looked up and wept. I wept for the church and said, "Oh, Church! Oh, Church! How the Lord desires to gather you into HIS arms!"

Tiffany DeVillier (Prophetic Word)

The Lord says the day is coming – not long after – the I am going to shake the church to its very foundation and that every minister - every minister who has used the things of God as usury to build kingdoms unto themselves are going to come crashing down!

God is shaking the church simply because He is looking for true worshippers those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth not for what they can get but for who He is. Worship and prayer are being restored to the church like never before. God is bringing the church back to what it should be doing, back to its true purpose.

Jeff Meikle (Prophetic Word)

I am looking for those with hearts after Mine to put forth My glory upon,
Those who won’t touch My glory or use it for personal gain,
Those whose only cares are loving Me and bringing Me glory!
Can you be a vessel for my glory and not hoard it?
Can you be a vessel for my glory and not use it to bring blessing to your ministry?
I look to and fro for those whose hearts are truly mine
That I might pour out my Spirit without measure upon them.
Eye has not seen and ear has not heard what I have prepared for those who love me.

Chariot:

One morning about four months ago, I woke up to the sound of a strong wind blowing and than in a vision the Lord shown me a wind swept yard.

Not long after that the Lord called me to a three week fast...It was a time of being in His presence and experiencing waves of His glory.

One day while I was in this fast, I heard a strong wind blowing and this I heard with my natural ears, or so it seemed and I looked out the windows only to find that it was calm and still outside. I continued to hear these winds for the next few days....I do believe the Lord is letting His people know He is shaking all that can be shaken as well, He is getting His army ready and setting them in their places and He will began with His forerunners first so He can use them to minister to the multitudes in the valley of decision.

In another vision I seen the east winds blowing so strong that all that could be seen was dust and than I noticed off to my left, a red bike standing on its kick stand under a mulberry tree, in the natural these winds would of blown it away. I believe the red represents the blood of Christ and the bike represents ministry.

Its through Jesus and His blood that ministries will be able to stand even in the storms when these winds began to blow at their worst...these will go forth in the days to come doing the works of God and all for such a time as this. 

Blessings!!! Margaret (Chariot)

The Lie Concerning 2009

Russell Durose

Portugal 

Dear Brethren,

I am writing to declare what God has told me about 2009. There are so many lies from the press and from the media, that it is putting to the test the faith and mostly exhausted state concerning the year. They are declaring that the year shall be the darkest financially speaking. The Lord has told me specifically to preach concerning the prophetic scripture based in Exodus 12, concerning the passover. 

The Lord says that 2009 is the year of "The Passover." He says that there shall be a coming together of believers in a conviction that the whole concept of fellowship and unity should be rethought. There shall be needed a whole new reappraisal on being a spiritual family. The Lord is allowing a great famine to come on the earth, in the shape of an angel, that passes over. This shall execute the judgments of the Lord. But those covered under the Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ, the Pascal Lamb, spoken of in Exodus 12 shall be spared. They shall know the protection of the Lord. They will need to be prepared, with their belts of truth girded, and to get a notion that we are "passing over."

Before the actual passing over, which is the Church being caught up, God will transfer into the hands of trusted believers great riches, there shall be a spoiling, like has never been seen. 2009 is a preparation in this. Congregations which do not practice the lifestyle of true brotherly love, and true fellowship cannot "eat of the lamb." Eating of the lamb, must be done quickly, because the eating of the "Lamb" must be done in family, and must not be left anything. Or it should be burned. The Lord says that once congregations of His Church come into the true koinonia, then they can eat of Christ. This means that Christ's manifestation shall come into the midst of the congregation. It means that they shall be reading, because the Church shall leave this "Egypt" suddenly. 

I preached this message last night at Vila do Conde Assemblies of God Church, Northern Portugal, last night, it was accompanied by a great presence of the Lord. The Lord is about to mark 2009 as a great YEAR OF REVIVAL. It is not going to be the worst year...it is going to be the best year.

A Memorable Christmas Season

Andy Sanders 

December 16, 2008

A Very Memorable Christmas Season For The Believer THIS 2008 YEAR! 

Psalm 33:18, “But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love “

“And this will be a very memorable and precious Christmas for the Body of Christ this year.”

I heard the Lord say to me several times over the past month to pass this along for this particular Christmas season. I saw few gifts in the homes, but warm hearts. It is not about gifts this year. It is all about THE gift: Jesus Christ. The Lord will be Emmanuel to His people this year. He will be “God with and among us in great measures.” There will be unexpected gifts received from unexpected people. There will be a mending of broken families and blood ties. “I am restoring the blood-lines of my people this holiday season, says the Lord. This will be a tremendous time of reconciliation over the Body of Christ for this holiday season.” This Christmas will be very memorable. You wait and see. This will be a very special holiday season for the believers. God is full of grace & mercy. He will pour these two blessing out in abundance. Prepare to be reconciled in the most unexpected measures this year. Letters and gifts will come from those least expected. Hugs will be given from those that you know least about. The Lord is reconciling as His most precious commodity and gift this year. 

Shortly after the Lord spoke to me about this, I saw the Lord standing in homes all over this nation where families and friends spent hours just reminiscing of all the great things the Lord has done. In many homes, the non-believers were compelled to bring up old times. God will be all over these conversations this year. This is a very important Christmas for the body of Christ. God is bringing closure in many hidden and painful areas of the heart this year. “There will be a fading away of one generation at the end of 2008 and a bringing forth of a whole new generation.” I saw Moses setting his staff down. I saw Joshua picking it up. A whole new era is about to begin. Make peace with those around you, while you still can. 

May the Lord prosper your hands in all you do next year. May He guide you and grant your hearts desires. May your plans succeed in great measure. 

Ps. 90:17, “May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.”

There is a God in heaven who reveals secrets...( Daniel 2:28).  I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying:

There are some of My children who have listened attentively to My voice and they have yielded to My Word in simple obedience, for them revelation will flow to give them insight into heaven's way of operating that will affect their earthly living.  It will be like we are sitting together in a room with all distractions far removed, and the only voice you will hear will be Mine.  You will follow My instructions completely, without fear of failing.  You will be assured.  You will realize that you can do all I have called you to do.  Grace will clothe you and great power will rise up in you to complete the task that I have given you.  I will double your energy and your aide. 

You will begin to do things the way that it is done in heaven.  My secrets I am disclosing to the faithful.  You will be ahead of the natural, yes, and running ahead of some of your brethren, to show them the way.  Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until He reveals His plans to His servants the prophets.  Many prophets in the land, that are true prophets, but you must know to hear Me also.  I long to reveal Myself to you in a deeper way. 

My Word will become so open to you, that you will understand My character through My Word now that you couldn't see before. Your heart is clear and open and you see that I have handed you keys to understanding mysteries.  You have delighted yourself in Me and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth. I will elevate you because you have humbled yourself before Me.

John Lewis:

I have been seeing the number 911 a lot and I mean a lot (twice this morning again). I have been praying about it but have not received any word of knowledge toward it. I do believe we are on the threshold of another 911 style disaster; it could be even a natural disaster. I leave it be, since all “my” efforts are fruitless. I trust, the LORD will reveal these things in due time.

The same day a sister in Christ forwarded to me a prophetic poem that was written on December 6. The man who wrote it had just come out of an extended period of prayer and fasting with his wife, and had been seeking the Lord’s mind concerning the days we live in. This is what he wrote:

CALM BEFORE THE STORM

They have been lulled to sleep by the hypnotic voices of the talking heads- The media, blind religious leaders, politicians just before you go to bed- In the morning everything will be all right. Tell me a fable and I will sleep in peace through the dark night-

Gas prices dropping – time to go shopping, the sales are on. Obama’s been elected – Bush’s policies rejected, the change is on. The fairy tale of Bin Laden has faded into a figment of our imagination - As we have been lulled into a false security for our nation.

The Stimulus Packets and yet another Bailout- A superior intelligent Cabinet, your money’s safe don’t doubt. Great America, the world’s leader will continue to lead the way. The repetitive propaganda and rhetoric confidently say-

But I say, you have enjoyed your time of sleep and ease – now comes the shaking. The alarm has been sounding, yet many refused to be awakened. It has been the calm before the storm and the winds are now about to blow. Soon from Coast to Coast there will be a shaking as the Earth plates move below-

Day by day you have seen the price of gas free fall and the highways congested again. It shall soon rise (3) times as fast – the highways will be virtually empty – the price as it’s never been- Panic and chaos shall be created as the economic storm rages on. The powerful US Dollar you use to know will soon be gone-

Catastrophic loss and a domino effect of crisis’s (sic) seemingly every two weeks- As angry Americans are jarred from their complacency and sleep. Roaming the streets, armed gangs like zombies in night of the living dead- Store shelves empty, babies crying, looting and burning as many sit quietly in dread-

The sheeple shouted, NO, Prophet!! Tell us lies; prophesy smooth things – not what shall really be. What about peace, warm feelings of love, how great I am and of course prosperity? Don’t you know that this is God’s country and we are the chosen ones He adores? The storm will only last a few months at most and we will come out better than before.

Not so, you have moved into a new cycle and everything is being accelerated. Break yourself from the holographic illusions that you have created - Mass destruction, natural and man-made disasters - massive loss and loss of lives are only days away. The impact can be lessened only if My people would learn how to pray-

The abundance of this Christmas season will remain a memory in many minds. As the years following reveal the sign of different times - The first world nation we have known will no longer exist. It shall be humbled to be like unto a third world nation and many shall resist -

The Spirit calls to the Joseph’s that have been confined and limited by religious ideas and organizations. Get ready to come forth with wisdom, dreams and prophetic revelation - A transfer of wealth and power is at hand. Over night I shall set you forth as rulers and providers in this land -

In the midst of everything shaking and chaos shall a hidden people arise and be revealed - To proclaim my kingdom with supernatural power and the sick shall be healed. The old order of religion and government shall fade into the past- And the people will realize only My Truth shall last.

The Spirit summons the men and women of Issachar with understanding that know the times and seasons - You will be called to stand before leaders to declare what shall be and the reasons -

You are entering a cycle when darkness and light shall seemingly coexist for a little time. This twilight zone shall expose the best and the worst in humanity’s mind - Choose light as the planet and your solar system enters into a new day. A new consciousness shall emerge to show humanity a new way -

You are witnessing the ending of an age and the beginning of a new day. The transition shall be difficult for many, but My Grace will show you the way - Lift up your heads and rejoice as the kingdoms of men crumble and fall - Rest in Me as I AM revealed to be All in All.

John Lewis

IT'S TIME TO FLY

December 13, 2008The first week of December I traveled for business and from the beginning of the trip I knew the Lord was going to speak because the place I was going was called "Grace Cottage". So here are some things that came out of this trip.

I want to reference a line from something the Lord gave to Marsha Burns: "As long as your intentions are honorable in My sight, says the Lord, I will make up the difference between your abilities and your objectives." (Read the full posting for December 12th here) - This is the Laurel Bridge.

This is a time of graduation for the Church. We are moving forward into the present Kingdom Age and we must cross over the boundary between by resurrection life; there is no other way. John 11:25 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.It's time to fly
I hopped on the plane and received my "complimentary beverage" and this is what I saw on the napkin:

I thought that we at FT owned that phrase (from Shelly's song)! 
I am reminded of how much God has done so that each one of us (all of His people, united) can be carried and moved by the Spirit -- His "breath of prophecy".

Here is the song written by Shelly Mathis on July 18th, 2005:
You are My eagles I have borne on My wings
With tender compassion ever encircling
I’ve guided you through the trials of flood and fire
To reveal to you the wonder of who you are in Me

It is time to take flight, soar into destiny
I’m the wind beneath your wings, the Breath of Prophecy
Spread your wings for I’ll carry you to the heights with Me

It’s the appointed time for My eagles to rise
I will speak in your ears and open your eyes
You will open your mouth with the eagle’s cry
And the sound of My voice will be echoed across the land
Prepare My way… It’s time to fly

The Spirit is quickening the message of this song to those who have ears to hear. I see a group of people - UNITED - in the Holy Spirit, moving together in this anointing of the Prophet Elijah. Fierce in countenance, these have been trained and made ready by fire-trials; they are unmoved by the darkness because their lives are forfeit.

You are this people! Hear the cry of the Spirit and rise up to live in this place called "present destiny". It is time to fly!

Special Forces: De Oppresso Liber
While waiting for my flight at the Dulles Airport in DC I saw a lot of US military and government memorabilia. "De Oppresso Liber" is the motto for the Special Forces division of the United States Army. Apparently there is no firm literal translation for this from Latin to English. It is generally accepted to mean "liberate the oppressed", but it may be more correctly rendered as: "from the violently crushed man comes the free man".

The Lord said:
You are waiting to fly because you have forgotten who you are in Me. The enemy has worked against you to crush your confidence and faith, but I say to you, from the violently crushed man comes the free man! Come be with Me and I will make a new vessel from one that has been destroyed. I will speak to you and set you in a strong place and restore your certain knowledge that you are Mine. It is time for you to fly.

Laurel Bridge
Laurel Bridge is the name of a software company that we connected with in Chicago. At the end of the trip this company (both the name and the people there) left an impression on me, so I checked it out. The Bay Laurel has broad, aromatic leaves and was used as the material for weaving the "victor's crown" in ancient times. Either Olympic victory or military victory (and later academic victory, aka graduation) was celebrated by wearing the crown of laurel. In Christian interpretation it symbolizes resurrection - the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.

So, here it is: every short-fall of our faith or ability is answered by the resurrection. Jesus' victory is the bridge that spans the pit of human nature and gets us from where we are to where we want to go in God. The triumph of the cross and the empty tomb is so complete that we don't have to be able to do anything that God leads us to we only have to be willing; willing to believe and willing to fight.
 
November 25, 2008:  I had two small visions. In the first a man was wading through something thick and heavy (like mud or quicksand) that was about waste deep. He was leaning hard into each step. The Lord said to me, "You are feeling this way about your spiritual (and physical) progress in this new time. You feel like you are hindered and are not moving ahead as quickly as you'd like; that every step is a huge effort. Embrace your situation with this perspective: You are not sinking or sliding back - you are moving forward. You are gaining greater strength with each step. Keep going and you will acquire what is needed to move more easily in these new surroundings."

In the second I saw a man climbing a ladder. The lower part of the ladder was obscured by mist and the man was emerging from it into clear air above. The impression that I had with this vision was that it is impossible to solve the problems and sort through the issues that life presents when you can't see. The issues themselves are what cloud our vision. They seem large and difficult when we are immersed in them, but they become manageable when we rise above them. It is only a short trip to rise up into the Spirit because it is a choice. When you choose to focus and dwell on what is Spirit and life, that is where you live.

Colossians 3: 1-3
1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

 November 22, 2008:  I had a dream about my whole tribe (my family of four) praying for another believer who was bound by fear and infirmity.  The remarkable thing about this dream was that as we prayed there was a television in the room, just blaring!  And, we were all in a place in the Spirit where the television did not interrupt what we were trying to do.  We were able to effectively pray for this person as a group.  We prayed for this person and they got delivered as they began to see what was impeding them, and they were moved forward in the things of the Kingdom.  So, the dream means that this is my whole family right here (church), the whole tribe of the Lord, and the Lord is teaching us through our circumstances a new level of focus.  The TV, which represents the noise of the world—everything that is going on in the world that speaks against the truth of God’s word, whether it’s the economy, or spiritual things that are coming against you, or physical people—the noise of a fallen world.  We are coming to a place where our focus is so tight on the Spirit of God, who is in us as we come together – it doesn’t matter what’s going on in the world around us and how it’s blaring at us, we will be able to be effective in the Kingdom.

I saw before me an open book, and written upon in the english language so that I could read and understand. I read of things hidden and things to be revealed. The hand of The Lord guided me to this sentence. "The children of 1:10 shall sound on 1:11." As it is written, so shall it be. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.                    -Sealed Servant.

OH, I almost forgot. Last week Debra and I were eating at Golden Corral after Church. Instead of my usual thanks I used Paul's blessing "Blessed be The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.", this before beginning to eat. I was having baked Salmon and I put a small bite in my mouth and then bit off a piece of a bread dinner roll to chew with it. The bread and the fish grew larger in my mouth with each bite and finally I had to spit some of it back into a napkin as the two small bites had grown to a huge mouthful. LOL.

Now I know how Jesus fed the multitude.

"I AM RESTORING SIGNS WONDERS AND MIRACLES"
 
December 4, 2008

These are the days I spoke in My word in Joel; I am restoring what the canker worm have stolen. As My people called by My name hearken and obey and submit to My voice. And arise and prophesy My instructions. You shall see revival in this land; there shall be a stirring of the waters from sea to sea. Nation-to-Nation, I am calling forth those who will follow Me and hearken to what the spirit is saying. Those who will be led of Me in this day, this hour. A people who will lay aside agendas set by men and obey Me, be used of Me. Fret not My servants I called you by name, I have destined you for a task, to go share the Good News I am alive and operating on planet earth. Arise and let the gifts of Life flow through you who are called by My Spirit. As you obey you shall see a mighty outpouring of signs wonders and miracles. I am setting My people on fire, I am stirring the waters. 
 
There are many who are desperate in these days many who don't know Me as Lord. So be used of Me in this time of harvest. There shall be many who come to Me as you obey. Get out of the boat, the place of complacency and come fellowship with Me, spend time at My feet, get your marching orders as you seek My face in these days. Then you shall see much fruit and harvest of souls as you deny self and follow Me. Fear not for I have called you out to sound the trumpet. Too sound the alarm I am alive, I am the God that Heals, Delivers and Set My people Free. My desire is none shall perish, but all will come to Me and know Me as Lord! My heartbeat is for souls to come and know Me. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life! So obey My voice be doers of My Word! Be channels that I can use, to reap the harvest of souls in this day, to set free those who are in bondage, those who need Me in this hour. Yes be conduits of My spirit operating on planet earth. Be filled with power from on high. Receive of Me and give it away. Be releasers of Life in this day of desperation and trials. So arise and shine, let your light go forth to the world.

Last days miracles signs wonders- Joel 2:28
Restoring – Joel 2:25
Harvest is great Luke 10:2

2009 And Beyond

Beloved One: 

For every loss, you shall have a double gain. For every broken dream, you shall have a double portion of your hearts desire. For every thing that has been stolen you shall be restored 10 fold. For every time you were shamed wrongly, you shall be exalted by Me. For you see, I will bring to light that which has been hidden and stolen. What I allowed during this last season to build your character shall be  revealed in this coming season. You have been held back for my purposes, just as a fine wine must cure, so it is that my word has been residing in you until it has come to maturity to bring forth my greater purposes. Those around you shall drink of the fine wine I have produced in your life. For my love, I even allowed your character to be assassinated for my glory, I had to kill out your flesh so that you would completely lean in to me and trust me in a new place. But, now you shall know my kiss and embrace, my fragrance, my beauty and my favor are with you and upon you. It is a new season and a new day and I will express myself through you in a new way. Behold, all things are new, and all the old has passed away. This will be a year to come in and possess that which is yours. You shall overcome the evil one for he is under your feet and you have gained authority over him. You will take ground this year, and the spoils upon the land are yours. You are in a new place of authority and vision, for you have found favor in my heart because you have truly sought after my heart, to hear my heart. Keep seeking me, keep worshiping through the trials. Keep finding me in your everyday places, search for me with all your heart and I tell you, you will indeed find me! This is a year to re-connect with me in a greater way, a year that intercessors will connect as never before. They will become like intimate family as I cause my honey anointing to bind them together for my Kingdom purposes. Be watchful, and listen. Listen, Ah, I say listen....for those who learn the secret of being still will indeed hear my heart in the coming days. 

I will reveal my beauty realm this year to you. Cry out and ask me to show you my beauty. For my beauty will encompass you at a new depth. I desire you, and I desire to show you my glory, my beauty, my love, my passion....new intimacy my love... For there are always deeper, wider, higher places in me to experience. There is never a place that you can arrive that you can't go higher in me. My love is limitless, unknowing the depth of love I have for you.... this side of heaven you can not comprehend of how much I desire and love my creation. You must know my precious one, how I do love you so tenderly. I have such purpose, and intentional destiny for each and every one of you. Pursue me this year, and you shall find me. Chase after me and I will be found...for I am at the door, the very door of your heart and soul. Open to me and I will not disappoint you.... 

Watch as I draw the intercessors together in this season. There is a divine acceleration of my purpose that is being released in this season. A divine acceleration says the Lord. The eagles are being released to fly again, The prophetic will take on a new momentum that the world has never seen. It will be like a freight train going at full speed, for my momentum is with you. And you will take my anointing, my "freight" and pass it out... you will share my heart with those who have a heart after me. You will release my prophetic anointing, my "freight" to those I show you, for they have been crying out and waiting for my eagles, my prophetic ministers to come and bring the word of the Lord to their regions. I tell you the truth much is about to happen, and it is an exciting time in the spirit realm. Don't be discouraged, but take heart my people! You may feel like the enemy holds the "cards" in this season, but I own the "house", and the "house" is on YOUR SIDE! Because, you are on the side of the Lord, the Captain of the Lord of hosts is with you! There is nothing to fear, trust in Me, hold fast to what you know is true. I am truth, I am revelation, I am love....hold unto those things, for fear has no place in you. You belong to me, and not of this world. Learn to see yourselves from heaven to earth....you are seated with me. You are with me.....I am in you. Remember your position in my kingdom, you are seated next to me. You are my Bride...I am your defense, and I defend you. I stand before the highest court, the court of heaven, and I defend you before my Father.....and he shames the evil one who comes to defile you and blame you. Know your position in my Kingdom....and be delighted, for I delight in you! 

You have pressed through, you have stood, you have fought, you have prayed, you have fasted, you have persevered, you have obeyed me, you have come along way baby and it is your year to shine! 

I am my Beloved's and He is Mine!!!! 

Lovingly In Him,

Brenda

A Season Of Changes

Julie Baxter

November 17, 2008

As I waited upon the Lord this morning – I heard Him say, “You are facing a season of changes – secure your base.”

As I wondered what that meant, He went on to say, “Your base is your family and your closest friends, they are those that love you regardless of your folly or your selfishness. Your base is that which I will draw upon to enlarge your tent and to spread My gospel through you.”

“This world is facing changes on every front, in every arena, personal, political and on national and international levels. I am leveraging nature itself to cause men to look unto Me as their sole source and sole supply. Do not fear, but get ready, for the times of change will cause many to fear and you will need to be in position before it occurs so your testimony will draw them to you.”

Your parents will need you, so be busy about mending fences and rebuilding bridges and digging old wells. They have much to offer this generation but without you paving the way for them, without your personal appreciation and support they will not be heard.

Your employees and employers will need you. Integrity has become almost non-existent in the business realm – therefore if you shine with personal integrity – doing what must be done cheerfully, wholeheartedly and without being asked – promotions will be given to you over those with more tenure or experience.

Your friends will need you. This is the time to go through your contacts and determine in the Spirit who are friends and who are acquaintances. Those who are friends you must reach out to and cherish. Those who are simply acquaintances you must pray for opportunities to mentor and bless – they can be converted to friends – but you must do the work of converting them.


Your mentored sons and daughters need you. They need your wisdom, your heart, your love and they need you to survey their lives for lack. Ask them if they would be willing to allow you to do so – you must ask, for they believe themselves sufficient in many cases where they are not. Some are caught in fear of failure, some in legalism, some in procrastination, some in fear of making mistakes and fear of commitment. You must volunteer to be spiritual eyes and ears for them – for when I speak to you and you report to them – they will be able to hear Me. If it appears to them it comes simply from you – they have been world-trained not to respect their elders and may not receive truths because of it.

Some of those you love and respect are going through horrible personal tragedies and trials and will go through even worse. Part of it is My enemy seeks to destroy them. Part of it is because they have not released their parents, not released their children, and cling to this world. These you must befriend anew and let them know I hold the spirit of every living thing in My hand and I will work harder than they to assure that everyone who loves Me is comforted and taken well-care of at the last of their days. You must teach them trust. Trusting Me is the hardest at home, is it not? 

Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Secure your base. Enlarge your tent. Sow largely and sacrificially. But more important than all that is do not neglect your time with Me nor time in My Word. Only a life lived in My Spirit cannot be shaken.

The things that remain after the shaking are the things which I will use to prosper you in My Kingdom – here on earth. The areas where you have taken dominion are the very areas where I will use you to train and rescue others. My Kingdom is built upon relationships – relationships that are built upon the rock – these are Kingdom connections. Seek out those whom you know will respond to My word and join yourselves to them.

This world will soon be in a place to listen to Kingdom people like never before. They will see your light and be drawn to it. They will discern the differences between your lives of peace and plenty and their lives of fear and lack. Even the most ignorant will be able to draw the conclusion that I am with My Kingdom people.

You will see climatic changes that will shock and tumble great nations. You must be prepared both in the natural and in the spiritual – and do so not simply by having supplies ready but by taking dominion in the spirit over the winds and the waves. In every arena know who has the Joseph anointing to gather for famine and join yourselves to them. Call out for that anointing and I will give liberally that which you need to provide for others. This is Kingdom provision and I am a God of supply.

You will see financial fortunes crumble and you will see fortunes build in a day. The only way you will not be harmed by this is if you secure your base and sow generously. You cannot expect a harvest if you do not sow. In times of need and lack call out for your harvest to come in. You must guard your harvest and care for it as you would a field, for the birds of the air wish to steal it.

I am still in the process of transferring wealth to those humble and generous enough to use if for my purposes. These ones need not fear the future for it will be their time to shine. Those who trust Me when no one else does – they will get the plunder no one else will.

You will see prophets dreaming and speaking out of their spirits – in fear and in trepidation – listen not if they tickle your ears and tell you what you want to hear. You will see these same prophets prophesying to those who want to hear, rather than to those to whom I would send them. If you see prophets who gather to themselves those who listen only to “good” words – avoid them, for they do not see as I see, nor do they build as I build. They are empty pots.

Seek those who listen to me and will say what I say regardless of how it affects their lives to do so. They are submitted and full of My Spirit. 

I will do many things I have not done before and this coming season of changes is one of them. Listen not to those who seek to profit by their words. While the laborer is worthy of hire – I am loathe to honor those who sell that which is given to them solely because of their reputations.

Listen, hear, and share when I tell you to share. Do not speak of everything I have told you – even as I told John he could not share everything he saw. I will tell you just as I tell others when to speak – so that the confirmation of more than two witnesses is always timely. Many things which were prophesied will soon come to pass.

Intercede for My church. Not only those gathered within walls, but those who gather in churches without walls. Intercede so that My hand is moved to mercy on their behalf. I am bringing the time of birthing – but first the transition period. During this transition – this season of change – I will lose many who are not sold out to me. Intercede, beloved, intercede and cry out for them to be so struck by reality of Kingdom living that they stop playing games and stop taking their time – stop lollygagging on their “journey” and submit to Me.

During this transition – many will quit. Many will leave Me and leave you. Do not despair – I am capable of bringing them back in if they will come. But you must not cling to those who will not submit to My ways. You must release them to do their own thing until the stench of their filth fills their nostrils and they understand the goodness of the strait and narrow way. Let them party without you. Do not lower your standards to reach them for if you do – you reach down. I would have you always going higher and show them by your example the wonderful life I have for those who will obey Me. If you insist on clinging to them two things will occur – your ways will be hindered and slowed, and they will feel righteous in their sin. Do not cling to them. Release them. I love them far more than you. And I have plans for you to accomplish much more with a few than with thousands of un-covenanted, unwilling, un-submissive, self-oriented people. Release them. I will heal your heart and reward your obedience.
This that I have spoken to you is to be given to whosoever will hear. You do not have to hold back. I will speak to hearts and open them. And those who receive it and do not obey – I will work with their stubbornness by allowing the season of changes season and mature them. I will work all things together for good.

Beloved, fear not! Simplify your lives. Get ready. Secure your base. Get in deep. Lose your life in Him now, so that when the breaking of the waters comes, you will be in place. Sow generously and prepare for the greatest harvest you’ve ever seen."

Scriptural Reference: Hebrews 12:25 - 29

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN." This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken , as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.” NASU

Ezek 1:20 Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction!

Prophetic word by Becky Porter‏

Hi Susan,

I know you have a new website now and I do not know how to post prophetic words on it.  If this prophetic word bears witness with you, please post it on your website.
 
Thank you for all you do - your ministry is truly a blessing! 

Becky Porter

The Lord gave me this prophetic word for Pastors:

“Your people have grown weary from the battles they have encountered this year, and many of them have all but given up, but I am about to do a new thing, and your church body is about to enter a season of rest and refreshing.  Many of them have been wounded on the battlefield and they lie scattered, wounded and war-torn on the battlefield, but I'm about to raise them up, yes RAISE THEM UP.  I'm going to breathe life into broken vessels.  I'm about to breathe life into broken marriages and relationships.  I'm about to breathe life into ministries that have all but died out.  I'm going to resurrect dreams that have died, because I am a God of Life, Abundant Life!  The captives will be set free - they'll be set free!  Those who mourn will be comforted.  Those who are downcast and discouraged will be given renewed hope and vigor.” 

I see a vision of the body of Christ lying wounded on the battlefield - each person has bandages on different parts of their bodies, and some are bandaged from head to foot.

I see Jesus standing on the battlefield and I hear Him speak directly to the wounded:  "It took these trials in your lives to bring you to the end of yourselves and to empty you out.  These trials have been used even as a "lancing of a boil"; to rid you of poison and pain that could be gotten rid of no other way.  These trials have caused you to look up, see My face, and cry out to Me, and now that I have your attention, I will show you the way out, for there is a way out.  There have been times you have felt hopeless because it appeared that you had come to a dead end. You found yourself facing a roadblock and it seemed that there was no way out or around, but I will give you safe passage through to the other side, if you but follow Me.

Now I see Jesus go over to the wounded, weak and discouraged and I hear Him say, “Arise and walk, and follow Me.” 

Even those that had lost a will to live and had lost their faith, their hope, and their direction, suddenly now have the faith to get up and take a step.  At first they somewhat tentatively take that first step, for they had been lying there, hopeless and helpless for a long while, and they didn’t think they had the strength, ability or faith to walk, and so they just continued to lie there.  As they take their first tentative step, they hold their breath to see if their feet and back will hold them up, and when they easily take that first step, a look of great surprise comes over their faces, and suddenly they stand up straight and tall, strengthened, renewed and encouraged.  They now have a new sense of hope, faith, peace and joy, and they begin to walk with confidence.  It’s kind of like a newly born baby horse that has long and spindly legs – the horse’s first steps are tentative and unsure, but then when it sees it’s legs don’t give way underneath it, it starts walking with assurance and confidence, and then after awhile, it even starts running.

I see the people set their eyes on the Master, and they start following Him with a new strength, dedication, understanding, and sense of direction they previously did not have.  As I watch them walk, I see them disappear together over the horizon, as they enter into the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

The Angel with an Hour Glass over Indonesia

November 17, 2008

Last month was an extremely busy month for our ministry as we focused on Israel and the United States, and this month we have been focusing on Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. While in Indonesia, I was taken in the Spirit and saw a large angel over the nation holding a white sword in his hand, with twelve stars over his head moving in a circular pattern resembling a circle of fire. Beneath his feet I saw a large fault line which was glowing red with molten lava, and the only thing which held the fault line together was the presence of the angel. I knew that if the angel lifted his feet from the sea, the fault line which had held together for thousands of years would suddenly collapse, and the consequences would be disastrous.

In the angels left hand was an hour glass which was turned up-side-down, and the sands of time were almost empty for Indonesia. The great quake which shook Sumatra on December 26, 2004 was not the big one, but a foreshock of even a greater quake which is on the horizon in Indonesia. The twelve stars were twelve saints from Asia, who minister to Israel as ambassadors from their nations. Without their intercession, many islands in the Asian Pacific Region would cease to exist – but in response to their dedication and sacrifice as they have blessed the nation of Israel, a powerful angel has been sent in direct response to their prayers to hold the fault line together.

While I was in Israel during the end of October, we saw record rain in the desert, and I almost missed my international flight to Jakarta due to landslides in the mountain passes. More than 2-inches of rain fell in within a matter of hours after I left Hebron and the Dead Sea, and interestingly, as my plane departed Tel Aviv flowers were beginning to blossom in many areas of Israel which had not seen rain for years. The thunderstorms seem to have followed me to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, and in every nation I have visited we have witnessed spectacular electrical displays in the heavens as the angels of God have violently clashed with forces of darkness during this pivotal time of global transition.

JERUSALEM ROUNDTABLE PROPHETIC PRAYER CENTER

During our team’s 40-day fast (between October 2 – November 11), we received some very clear insight on our project for the house of prayer in Israel, and while in Jerusalem the Lord released the name Jerusalem Roundtable Prophetic Prayer Center (JRPPC). We have purchased the domain names associated with the Jerusalem Roundtable, and are now in the process of putting together all the logistic information needed to establish the prayer base. During my recent journey to the Holy Land, all of the pieces of the puzzle began to come together, and it quickly became clear why some of our team sensed that we were supposed to establish the prayer center in Jerusalem, and others in the vicinity of Hebron or the Dead Sea – the fact is, neither was incorrect. We are now looking at two separate projects: a house of prayer in Jerusalem, and a separate health-based business in the vicinity of the Dead Sea (which will have a book store and coffee shop attached where travelers can stop and relax while visiting this part of Israel) – but the prayer center is our number-1 top priority.
Looking back in perspective, we were not ready for a release of funding for the project prior to the end of our team’s 40-day fast on 11/11, whereas we did not have full understanding on several key maters, including the location and other important issues. As a matter of fact, it would have been detrimental to begin the project prior to 11/11. But I believe now the Holy Spirit has given us the green light to proceed, and we are currently praying for a breakthrough to fund the prayer center. Thus far, less than 2% of the $333,000 needed to establish the house of prayer has been released, but the good news is that we are right on schedule – God is never late – He is always right on time!

Last night I dreamt that moths and rats were eating great piles of cash from many of the world’s currencies, because the bills had become worthless. The funds had been saved and hidden away by many who had very good intensions of using the money for godly purposes, but they waited until the money was worthless. If they had only used some of the money to bless the nation of Israel, the funds would have been angelically guarded during times of famine – but they waited until it was too late. Do not be fearful of the world’s economy, but seek God’s face and enter into heaven’s economy, for there is no lack in the Kingdom of God. Continually bless the nation of Israel, and you will prosper during times of famine, for new strategies are about to be released from heaven that will enable you to be the head and not the tail – even in times of calamity.

As I am concluding this report in Asia, it is now 1:11 AM, Oct. 17 Manila time (9:11 AM Los Angeles time, Nov. 16).

I was just informed that a magnitude 7.7 shook Indonesia nine minutes ago at 1:02 AM. You may wish to re-read the preceding word in this report regarding Indonesia. Every prophecy in this report is tied into the nation of Israel.

Blessings,

Timothy Snodgrass

Dream 11/5/08  The large pool that is the Church in AmericaI prayed and ask the LORD for a prophetic dream for America. I have never ask the LORD that before. I have read many prophesies and I am now coming to a strong conclusion that I Need to heard directly from the LORD.

Last night I dreamed that a great anointing came on me. I had great compassion for people. I was in an undergroud building and the ceiling was over 30 feet high and the walls and ceiling and floors were concrete. Over in an open room where it was dark I saw a man laying on a bed and he was deformed and twisted. His facial features were distorted as well. I went over to him and laid my hand on him and he started squirming and twisting. His attendant saw me praying for him and at first thought I was doing something to hurt him but I kept my hand on him as the power of GOD was going through me. The attendent was wanting me to stop but then she saw GOD was doing something and she called others over to watch. The deformed man twisted and moaned but then he started looking whole and healed. This took quite a while. Then people were going and getting the sick for me to lay hands on. There was a lady with a child who was Mexican and her husband was with her. they did not see me standing there. they were arguing. Then all of a sudden the man saw me and backed off quickly and a devil spoke through him and said 'I thought you had left". I had never seen the man before. I knew that the devil in him was seeing Jesus in me. The Holy Spirit took over my body and I reached out to the man and picked him up as though he weighed nothing and put him over my shoulder and took him to a table and laid him there and told the devil to come out of him and it did. Then his wife told me that he had been abusive to her and was mean to the children. The next thing that happened was that a lot of people had rented a large room that was as big as a very large gymnasium (this was still in the undergroud building) so that I could come and pray for the sick. The whole room used to be a very large shallow swimming pool but it was very old and there was dirt and leaves and lose old tiles in it. there was no water in it. Everyone was setting on some bleachers on one side and the Spirit of the LORD picked me up and took over my body and I was flying around over the pool and I would move my hand toward the debris and a wind would blow the debris into a pile. It was important to clean up the debris.

End of dream -------------------------------

The strongest feeling I have about the pool is that it is the United States of America or the Church in America. It used to be filled with the water of the word or the law of GOD. Now all there is is debris. The last bit of water was removed when Obama was elected. This has made it easier for the LORD to clean the pool. The strong wind of His Spirit is going to start blowing now. I believe it will be a quick work. The deformed man is the body of believers. The attendant is the pastors and teachers. They did not want anyone to disturb this man because they were the ones in change of him. Yet when they saw that the Holy Spirit was healing and mending him they stepped back and let the LORD work. The main problem that the attendant had was that the one who was praying for this man was a no body, an unknown person. the attendants only had trust in those who had attended seminary or were already tested by time or others. The attendents needed discernment or in other words they needed to know the voice of the LORD. So it will be the unknows who are obeying the LORD to be bold and follow GOD at all cost to love and have compassion on people and not forgetting the Church. The first thing that happened was the man who was deformed being healed. this means the LORD is going to send out His people who will be bold and follow Him at any cost. Then after the Church is healed the nations around us will be healed and delivered. then America will be ready for a fresh water from the LORD and the pool of the United States of America will be filled again with fresh anointing, Holy laws. all me sometime.  - Eva Marsee

A Harvest Of Wheat and Tares    11-01-08

Ian Johnson

Aukland New Zealand

Jesus said “the Kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while the man slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat” His servants said “do you want us to dig up the tares?” But the farmer said “No least while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them” Let them grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers; “Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the tares and burn them and to put the wheat in the barn.” Based on Matt 13:24-30

This Is A Season Of Great Harvest

A season when the Lord of the harvest is asking for his barns to be filled with the wheat. Millions & millions of souls are being called into his house. Such will be this move of soul harvest that no one will miss the sight of it. Gods glory will be seen and the knowledge of his glory will be known. 

Habakkuk 2:14

For the time will come when all the earth will be filled, as the waters fill the sea, with an awareness of the glory of the Lord.

It will be exciting and amazing to see this harvest unfold before us in this season of change.

We need to be aware also that in this season of harvest on the earth the reapers are required to gather the tares in bundles for burning. 

That which is not of God or is birthed through unjust means or has become an idol in the earth will also give up a great harvest. The only place of safety in this season of harvest is in the Lord himself.

The harvest of tares is forgotten I think when we quote Habakkuk 2:14 ; we just want to see the great harvest of Wheat, But in bundling up the tares the Lord is proving that he is God and in doing so His glory is revealed in all the earth. Before we look at what the tares might be we should look at Hab 2:4-13

Hab 2:4 Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked; but the righteous will live by their faith. Wealth is treacherous, and the arrogant are never at rest. They range far and wide, with their mouths opened as wide as death, but they are never satisfied. In their greed they have gathered up many nations and peoples. But the time is coming when all their captives will taunt them, saying, ‘You thieves! At last justice has caught up with you! Now you will get what you deserve for your oppression and extortion!’ Suddenly, your debtors will rise up in anger. They will turn on you and take all you have, while you stand trembling and helpless. You have plundered many nations; now they will plunder you. You murderers! You have filled the countryside with violence and all the cities, too. “How terrible it will be for you who get rich by unjust means! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your families beyond the reach of danger. But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. The very stones in the walls of your houses cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint. “How terrible it will be for you who build cities with money gained by murder and corruption! Has not the Lord Almighty promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain! Hab 2:4-13

SO WHAT ARE THE TARES?

I’ve heard a lot of messages in the Church over the years about the Tares. Always its about condemnation and the body of Christ being very hard on itself and its members.

But remember Jesus said “The kingdom of Heaven” So this harvest is in the whole Kingdom not just the part called the Church.

The harvest of the Tares then is about systems and idols and the demonic that has so intertwined itself in the kingdoms of this world. Remember they were sown by an enemy not your brother. In many cases these systems are embraced by the Church. 

Joel 3:13-14 Now let the sickle do its work, for the harvest is ripe. Come; tread the winepress because it is full. The storage vats are overflowing with the wickedness of these people.” Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. It is there that the day of the Lord will soon arrive. 

The problem we have right now is that as the harvest begins we need to determine what is wheat and what are tares. For instance the corrupt world financial system is full of tares. So to defend a system that is full of tares in this season is not wise. It must be harvested and bundled up. Revelation 18 tells us “come out of her my people” The Church is full of the principles of the worlds financial systems, especially in the west. The Church in the 3rd world don’t have the luxury of big bank balances and faith pledges to fall back on. They just have to push into daddy. Perhaps they are more prepared for this harvest that the west.

The days of the earth hang in the balance; the Lord of the harvest is calling forth his inheritance. Awake my bride the harvest of all harvests is at hand.

To them that hear this call stir the bride and call her to the field to witness a harvest. This will be the most exciting and most troubling of days; for the Lord will have his harvest. Both tares and wheat are ready and their number is full. 

The harvest will challenge our world views. I say this because I want you to think about a field of Wheat, just see it standing tall and waving in the wind. If this is the only way you have experienced wheat, then what is about to happen in the earth will frighten you. Because the harvesters are about to enter the field. The wheat will never look the same again. The tares will be dealt with as well. 

There has never been a season where we need to be ready like this season. It will be very exciting and very terrible all at the same time. 

When a farmer plants a crop he first tills the soil and prepares the ground, he then plants seeds and waters the ground. The seeds germinate and push through into the light. With sun & water they grow and mature into all they are meant to be. A skilled farmer knows when the harvest is truly ready. At day break on the morning of the beginning of harvest much activity is witnessed in the farmer’s compound many become aware that the harvest is at hand. Finally the Lord of the harvest gives the order and the great harvest begins.

A WORD FROM HEAVEN.

All day I’ve heard the sound of harvest from heaven, and all day the Lord has asked me to tell his Children about the tares.

ITS HARVEST TIME; A HARVEST OF WHEAT & A HARVEST OF TARES.

I feel something very significant is about to happen in the Earth. The beginning of the financial crisis signaled the arrival of the harvest of the tares. It is only a beginning.

The harvest will soon be in full swing. Today is 31st October 2008. My soul is stirred to the point I can no longer be silent. The world is about to change forever. The harvest of tares has begun.

The good news is that the harvest of souls is also in full swing. The Lord says keep your eyes fixed firmly on the Lord of the Harvest. There has never been a time when men will be looking for answers like the season that is upon us. In great darkness it easier to see the light

Isaiah 9:2-3 The people who walk in darkness will see a great light—a light that will shine on all who live in the land where death casts its shadow. Israel will again be great, and its people will rejoice as people rejoice at harvest time.

THE GLORY OF GOD IS AT HAND

A storm will rise against Jerusalem But the harvest is at hand and the Lord will have his harvest. He will refresh her as a river in the desert and as the cool shadow of a large rock in a hot and weary land. Then everyone who can see will be looking for God, and those who can hear will listen to his voice. Even the hotheads among them will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer in uncertainty will speak out plainly. This is Harvest time.

John 4:35-38 Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest.

Listen carefully for the sound of the wings of angels and the voice of the Lord of the harvest. New commissions are being handed out now. No time to hold back, no time to be at ease. “For the harvest is at hand”

Bob and Bonnie Jones          10-31-08

Shepherds Rod 2009

THIS IS A YEAR OF FIRE

This is a year of fire. Godly fire to the righteous; destructive fire to the wicked. It will be set by the peace pipe of the prophet. Peace will be the fire that will prepare the land to break up unproductive land. To those who stay in peace, understanding will be piped down to them but the wicked are like the restless sea; they will find no answer or rest. Fire will come before the plowing! This is a year of plowing. We will either plow in peace or in judgment but we will plow. This fire will cleanse the land so this entire year is a preparation for plowing the land for sowing to be fruitful next year. 2010 will be a year of sowing, but not this year. When the ox plows, he sees nothing he can eat; he can only see the burned off ground with no purpose. He only plows in drudgery; but there will be no seeding or harvest without the plowing. Intercession is the ox that will bring the eagle, which will reveal how to pray, what to pray for and how to get our prayers answered. Many shall come forth out of the fire with tried and proven faith and they will have the answer. And His name is JESUS! It is their council to agree or disagree; fire or no fire!” Flames or no flames! Man’s flame or His flame!

They shall come forth in the baptism of fire and they shall have authority over infirmities. They shall stretch forth their hands to do mighty signs and wonders and great grace shall be with them. Acts 4:30-33 While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage. Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was [exclusively] his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all. And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all. God is an all consuming Fire. Anything that is not of Him will be burned away; He is a purifying fire. Many shall come forth out of the fire of affliction as did the Hebrew children chosen by God.

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried and chosen you in the furnace of affliction. In Daniel 3 King Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury when the three sons of righteousness would not bow down and worship his idol. They were thrown into the fiery furnace; seven times hotter than it was usually heated. The flame and sparks from the fire killed those men who handled Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. But this fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed; neither were their garments scorched nor the smell of smoke cling to them. We do the choosing; how long we stay in the furnace. If you remain faithful to it you come out chosen; pure! That which is of God in you will not burn but be revealed. It is a great testing for sincerity.

SIGNS AND WONDERS

This should be a year of great signs and wonders because there will be great need, and great grace shall be there for those who believe. The cord that has been around the baby’s neck, which is the fear of man, will be removed so the Father will hear the cry of the babies. It is not still born but alive in Me says God. It will breathe and give living substance to those who will only believe. They will cry out in your judgment remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard the report of You and was afraid. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make [Yourself] known! In wrath [earnestly] remember love, pity, and mercy. Mercy shall be the inspired word that comes out of the mouth of the Father. Matthew 4:4 But He replied, it has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

Deuteronomy 8:3 And He humbled you and allowed you to hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you recognize and personally know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. When a baby cries, the parent responds quickly so His children can meet every challenge VICTORIOUSLY. There shall be songs of praise of angels mixing with the songs of praise of saints. Some times they will continue to sing when our praise stops. Common grace will no longer fall upon the wicked and righteous alike. For this is the year of separation of the wicked and the righteous. And the righteous shall come forth with divine grace which is the nine gifts of God. It shall bring forth free grace which is great salvation. 1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.

This divine grace is the signs and wonders to bring about free grace which is power evangelism. Ephesians 2:7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. Great grace will be revealed in the righteous this year as they stretch forth their hands to heal. Acts 4:33 And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all.

NARROW STONE WATERFALL

In a vision Bonnie saw a narrow stone waterfall on the side of a green mountain; it had gone dry. Mercy for the wicked has come to an end.

Ezekiel 47:1-2 The man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was flowing from the south side. This flow from the temple will cease for the unbeliever but will not for those who believe and intercede. Ezekiel 9:1-61 [THE SPIRIT] cried in my ears [in the vision] with a loud voice, saying, Cause those to draw near who have charge over the city [as executioners], every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, every man with his battle-ax in his hand; and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's ink bottle at his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 And the glory of the God of Israel [the Shekinah, cloud] had gone up from the cherubim upon which it had rested to [stand above] the threshold of the [Lord's] house. And [the Lord] called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink bottle at his side. 4 And the Lord said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in the midst of it. 5 And to the others He said in my hearing, Follow [the man with the ink bottle] through the city and smite; let not your eye spare, neither have any pity. 6 Slay outright the elderly, the young man and the virgin, the infant and the women; but do not touch or go near anyone on whom is the mark. Begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple [who did not have the Lord's mark on their foreheads]

CRACKS IN OUR FOUNDATION

In a trance, Bonnie was traveling through time and space in a green orb. Millions of stars were visible and flashes of lightening shot through the essence of space. There were several small green orbs moving near and far; however, the large green orb that surrounded her was scanning the earth. From far above, I could see the foundation of the earth. The Orb was searching for cracks where He might be able to fill them with His presence. As the enemy is coming to destroy by division the family unit, God is looking for a few good people who will not be lifted up in pride when He exalts them in ministry. We must be sealed in Him by the oil of the Holy Spirit. Cracks in our foundation appear when we get things out of order. How would you honor God? You would honor God by spending time with Him; for in ministry we must first spend time with God in relationship. That is our first priority. Our second priority is honoring our spouse. Third priority is honoring our children. Fourth priority is our relationship with His church. And our fifth priority is you and your ministry. If you keep these priorities in proper order, you will not fall.

THE APOSTOLIC

The Apostles shall teach the truth and the truth will begin to set the church free. (Eph. 2:20) It’s the year many things the righteous has wanted to do; they have a list which was given them by inspiration that will be checked off – done! However, the wicked will have and X (or and ax) instead of a check mark for they will be cut off. The foundation is Apostles and Prophets and the Apostles will have great wisdom. I Corinthians 2:6 Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.

GREAT TRAGEDIES IN AMERICA

The flag of this nation shall hang low but it will recover in the next four years. America has lost her innocence so the testing shall be this year to see who is sincere and who is not. And your faith will fail you this year if it’s not in Jesus Christ. Daniel 11:34-35 Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and hypocrisies. 35 And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test] to refine, to purify, and to make those among [God's people] white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time [God] appointed. There shall be reefs in the wicked’s love feasts. Bob saw gang rapes increasing on the streets. Both women and men being gang raped and not enough policemen to stop them. He saw great tragedies in the families; totally breaking apart with neither father or mother protecting their children.

He saw women that do not know Christ easily led into prostitution and the increase of venereal diseases. He saw riots in the streets. They’ll need to call in the National Guard to squelch the rioting. At different times there will be anarchy in the streets. This was not so with the Lord’s children because crying grandmothers cried out day and night for mercy, and their daughters and grand daughters joined them in intercession for this nation. Many large businesses will fail and small businesses will replace them.

OUR WALK WITH GOD

And this year the walk shall be hard to begin with. We shall walk through the sewers of man and begin to discern what is God and what is of man. Then we shall put our shoes on and follow God the rest of the year. Offended The Holy Spirit offends the mind to reveal the heart. If you are offended, the Holy Spirit will not be able to reveal the truth which will set you free. He will not violate your free will. So repent from your sins and seek Jesus and you’ll find Him. Many people have been offended because of the things that have happened and have actually left the church and gone home to sit. Lakeland is a good example of this. This is a thing they need to repent of and this is a sign of lack of faith and not understanding what the Holy Spirit was doing. People were running after signs and wonders not JESUS!

Lakeland was a testing to see if they were running after the fishes and loaves or the signs and wonders. Or were they really running after Jesus Christ? In John 2:23 – 25 Jesus was performing signs and wonders but He did not commit Himself to these people because He knew they were men and when men are lifted up instead of the Lord Jesus Christ, we should not be offended by what man does. But Lakeland’s signs and wonders were real and they were a testing and a preparation for the real thing, which will be the greatest showing on earth that will ever be! So the question will be John 6:67; Will we be offended and sit down in our faith or will we be like the Apostles that had no other place to go? John 6:67 Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? [And do you too desire to leave Me?] Will you believe the Lord Jesus Christ who loves His church and is raising it up now? Will you be a part of it, for where else will you go? Will you raise Jesus Christ up in your church and will you let the signs and wonders glorify your Father as in John 14:13? And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

Will you trust the Holy Spirit to move through you? For what did you have before Lakeland? So where else would you go? Believe and receive! For when you lift man up, he will come down; but when you lift up the Lord Jesus Christ, you will never come down. Offense is sin on the one offended. If you know who man is, you will never be disappointed or offended in what he does.

THE ALL KNOWING EYE

The all knowing, all seeing Eye is upon the righteous to deliver him out of all his fears. (Job 34:21 [God's] eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps. Psalm 34:4 I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. The Eye when He sees godly sorrow, will grant repentance. The all consuming fire of God will reduce past sins to ashes. II Timothy 2:25 He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth (that they will perceive and recognize and become accurately acquainted with and acknowledge it)

This will be a very, very hard year but the righteous will be given a little help when they look to their Lord. II Corinthians 7:11 For [you can look back now and] observe what this same godly sorrow has done for you and has produced in you: what eagerness and earnest care to explain and clear yourselves [of all complicity in the condoning of incest], what indignation [at the sin], what alarm, what yearning, what zeal [to do justice to all concerned], what readiness to mete out punishment [to the offender]! At every point you have proved yourselves cleared and guiltless in the matter.

JACOB’S GOLD WATCH

In a vision, Bob rolled back the moss on a bank to uncover Jacob’s gold watch and band. It had been lost since 1936. He was surprised to discover it was still running. TIME is not quite yet for the great harvest but it is a time for preparation for the harvest that will begin in four years. Time was created for man NOT man created for time. It is a golden time for the body of Christ. A 21 jewel gold watch that represents the number of the true Apostles in the New Testament. It had a golden band which represents the band of mankind (women and men) that will be banded together. They who are wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves. These will be our new leaders; the new breed. They will have WISDOM of the time to tell the church what to do. They will be as the sons of Issachar and all their Christian brothers will be at their disposal.

1 Chronicles 12:32 And of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs; and all their kinsmen were under their command. Luke 12:56, 57 You play actors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently] to discern and interpret and prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to this present time? 57 And why do you not judge what is just and personally decide what is right? Note: there is a further reference on page #42 to the year 1936 in the section TWO WITNESSES in a later section of the book.

YEAR OF THE GRANDMOTHERS

This is the year of the woman! Those over 50 coming forth to show mothers and sisters how to live successfully through this troubled time. Recently Bonnie had a vision of an old granny driving her old jalopy. She darted in and out of traffic while the police were in hot pursuit of her. Cars and trucks got out of her way, a semi almost overturned to avoid hitting her while she sped on. Quickly she darted onto a side street out of sight from the police. They continue in pursuit never seeing her turn. She brought her jalopy to a screeching halt and quickly turning around looking over her right shoulder put her right thumb up and yelped “tee hee!!” She had out run the law. She knew who she was in Christ and she was no longer under the law but under grace.

The law of man has kept women quiet in the church and this is the year the women come forth; especially the women over 50, the grandmothers and great grandmothers who have faithfully served in silence. Their prayers and intercession have been heard before the throne of God and He’s calling them to step up to the plate and take their rightful position in the body of Christ. Women have birthed this season in the history of mankind. We need wise women to deliver us this year. In 2 Timothy 1, Paul reminds Timothy of the wisdom his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice imparted to him. Grandmothers are leading their sons and grandsons to their knees. There is no answer short of God. 2 Timothy 1:5-6 I am calling up memories of your sincere and unqualified faith (the leaning of your entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), [a faith] that first lived permanently in [the heart of] your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am [fully] persuaded, [dwells] in you also. 6 That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. Only Jesus at His death fully completed all that He was called to do in His life on earth. The rest of us will always fall short of our calling. We all have ancestors who for different reasons never completed their calling in Christ. Their gifts are still available because of bloodline blessings. It’s time to ask God for our spiritual inheritance; that which our ancestors left incomplete. We need to ask God to grant us the wisdom, mercy and grace to walk out that which we were called to.

PSALM 109

In this Psalm, it is David’s Son Jesus crying out to Papa. In return for His Son’s love and majesty, they have turned against Him with evil intent and wickedness of their own hearts. There has been a separation between the wicked and the righteous; common grace is gone. It will no longer rain blessings on the wicked. God will only bless the righteous.

Warning for the wicked
Verse 1-20

If the church doesn’t pray, a wicked man shall reign over this nation. And the curse that comes with wickedness shall come to this nation. 1 O GOD of my praise! Keep not silence, 2 For the mouths of the wicked and the mouth of deceit are opened against me; they have spoken to me and against me with lying tongues. 3 They have compassed me about also with words of hatred and have fought against me without a cause. 4 In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I resort to prayer. 5 And they have rewarded and laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 Set a wicked man over him [as a judge], and let [a malicious] accuser stand at his right hand. 7 When [the wicked] is judged, let him be condemned, and let his prayer [for leniency] be turned into a sin. 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office and charge. 9 Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children be continual vagabonds [as was Cain] and beg; let them seek their bread and be driven far from their ruined homes. This speaks of the housing bubble. 11 Let the creditor and extortioner seize all that he has; and let strangers (barbarians and foreigners) plunder the fruits of his labor. Our enemies are plundering us. Oil and energy is bankrupting this nation. 12 Let there be none to extend or continue mercy and kindness to him, neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let their names be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth! — 16 Because the man did not [earnestly] remember to show mercy, but pursued and persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart [he was ready] to slay. 17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came [back] upon him; he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. Man pronounced a curse over himself and it shall come back on him. 18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, and it seeped into his inward [life] like water, and like oil into his bones. 19 Let it be to him as the raiment with which he covers himself and as the girdle with which he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the Lord, and of those who speak evil against my life. 

God Hears the Prayer of the Righteous
Verse 21 - 31

21 But You deal with me and act for me, O God the Lord, for Your name's sake; because Your mercy and loving-kindness are good, O deliver me. When I cry out to You Lord, I will receive Your mercy and kindness. He hears the cry of the righteous but not the wicked. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded and stricken within me. I am poor in spirit but mine is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:3)Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous — with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! 23 I am gone like the shadow when it lengthens and declines; I toss up and down and am shaken off as the locust. I am grieved because of the wickedness. 24 My knees are weak and totter from fasting; and my body is gaunt and has no fatness. I am crying out in intercession day and night. 25 I have become also a reproach and a taunt to others; when they see me, they shake their heads. I am mocked and despised like Jesus was because of my love for You Lord God. 26 Help me, O Lord my God; O save me according to Your mercy and loving-kindness! — Help Lord according to Your mercy and loving kindness. 27 That they may know that this is Your hand, that You, Lord, have done it. Lord show Yourself strong on behalf of the righteous. 28 & 29 Let them curse, but do You bless. When adversaries arise, let them be put to shame, but let Your servant rejoice. 29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame and dishonor, and let them cover themselves with their own disgrace and confusion as with a robe. Let my enemies eat by the words of their own mouth. 30 I will give great praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth; yes, and I will praise Him among the multitude. With my tongue, I will praise God and my tongue shall bring blessings upon my life. 31 For He will stand at the right hand of the poor and needy, to save him from those who condemn his life. Blessed are the poor and needy for the Lord is their defender and provider.

THE NEW BREED
August 4, 2008

Although the revelation of the New Breed came in August of this year, we felt it was important to include in this year’s Shepherd’s Rod. As the plumb line has been dropped or the line drawn in the sand, there is a calling forth of the holy ones to walk with God. He is a holy God and He is looking for a holy people to dwell not only in His presence occasionally, but to reside in Him. Where fear of man cannot reach, sin cannot dwell and compromise is not an option. God is looking for a people who will not be part time lovers but enveloped in His Love, taking on the divine nature of His Son Jesus. There is a coming forth of the NEW BREED! They are not old and they are not young. They will come forth in the Spirit of Holiness. Romans 1:4 And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). The Spirit of Holiness coming forth is the divine nature of Christ

2 Peter 1:4-10 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. 5 For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence), 6 And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety),7 And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection, and in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love. 8 For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) . 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is blind, [spiritually] shortsighted, seeing only what is near to him, and has become oblivious [to the fact] that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast) your calling and election; for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall. The new breed shall be of the divine nature and will be a friend with God. John 15:15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer; for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.] The Spirit of holiness coming forth will have resurrection power in it and this power will bring the obedience of what Christ called us to.

Mt 10:8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give. Most of the people Bob saw were between the ages of 25 & 40. They will be the first of the new breed which others will immediately begin to follow and they will not fall back. The Spirit of Holiness is different than the Holy Spirit although it works by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Holiness is the nature of Christ in you coming forth in maturity. Christ formed in you to a new level of maturity. Paul’s prayer will be answered; he travailed until Christ be formed in you. (Gal 4:19) suffering birth pangs until Christ is formed in us. Those who will walk forth in the Spirit of Holiness will be individuals who will represent Christ in a new level of maturity. These will be the first of the great youth leaders which countless numbers will follow. Christ was the first of the new breed coming forth resurrected by the Spirit of Holiness. This new breed will be motivated by the Spirit of God doing nothing of themselves but only doing what they see the Father doing. John 5:19 So Jesus answered them by saying I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, what the Son does in the same way (in His turn).

TWO WITNESSES
CHARLIE & IRMA
December 3, 2006

As you read this experience that Bob had in December 2006, keep in mind that we do not have much understanding about heavenly beings. Roland Buck referred to them as angels with substance. King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel both speak of watcher angels; a holy one that came down from Heaven in Daniel 4:13-23. 13 I saw in the visions of my head [as I lay] on my bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven. 17 This sentence is by the decree of the [heavenly] watchers and the decision is by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High [God] rules the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whomever He will and sets over it the humblest and lowliest of men. 23 And whereas the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, Cut the tree down and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field; and let him be wet with the dew of the heavens, and let his portion be with the living creatures of the field until seven times [or years] pass over him — Bob was in a trance. He saw footsteps in the living room so he began cleansing it. He was concerned because the footsteps did not disappear but went all the way to the front door. Bob opened the door commanding the evil spirits to leave but since the footsteps did not, he commanded “if this is from God, manifest yourself.” Immediately a very small thin woman appeared from the north and entered into the house. She was only about three feet tall. She was dressed very plainly, nothing outstanding about her. Then a man manifested and sat in our new gold chair nearest the bedroom door. Bob said they both looked to be about 55 – 60 years old. He was thin and ordinary looking also and was dressed in a suit. Bob asked the man……….”who are you?” He responded………”Charlie” and said they were created by Jesus and were sent to us for this time in history. I stood by the bedroom door with several other women surrounding the small woman and conversing with her. Bob asked Charlie……”do you have a message?” He said the last purpose they both had was 70 years ago (1936). They were both living beings (angels). Her name was Irma. He pointed to the woman; she was now about five feet tall. She was talking to a group of women about coming along side their husbands and giving them hot bread. They said they were released for NOW! They were released for Jacob’s blessings to be fulfilled in them. It’s interesting to note that when Charlie and Irma were removed from the earth in 1936, four evil men rose up and began to take power; Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo and Stalin. Then they took Bob back in time 6,000 years and showed him the earth and how it was before it was cursed by disobedience. It was the garden. He saw ancient animals and felt extreme peace. In the beginning God! Charlie said they would return with further instructions! (See section Charlie & the Banker) Bob heard the Lord say Romans 4:18; he asked what time it was………..4:18 a.m. Whatever you do, no matter how bad it looks don’t give up faith. For the just shall live by faith. Romans 4:18 [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be. **Irma means – exalted one, excellent virtue Acts 2:28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will enrapture me [diffusing my soul with joy] with and in Your presence. Two years ago the word came to begin to call the women to come along side the men and take their rightful place in the body of Christ. **Charlie means – manly, courageous Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. This is the Joshua generation (over 50’s) coming into maturity. 

CHARLIE & THE BANKER

January 24, 2007

Bob had a dream where he and I were in a bank. As we walked up to the teller’s counter, Charlie and another man stood on the other side. Charlie said “here’s a man that wants to meet you.” The man said “I really love your mother. He talks to her all the time. I’ve heard of you and wanted to meet you.” Bob knew that this was a heavenly being; his mother has been with the Lord for many years. Then they shook hands; although he did not offer his name. The man stood about six feet tall and bald on top with brown hair around the sides. He had hazel eyes and wore glasses. He was about 55-60 years old. Bob was walking with his cane and said “I feel like Methuselah, all my people have gone home.” The angel said, “don’t worry about that. “ He said he was released to help people bank. He was the Vice President of the International Bank. He had power and might. 

**He was the angel that funneled finances. **This actually happened October 12, 2008. The international bankers funneled money into the United States to keep us from bankruptcy.

God Tabernacled in His Bride Part II
By Paul Keith Davis

First-Fruits Bridal Company

In his classic book The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer wrote, "the simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart."

Although this objective appraisal was written a generation ago, its truth is still pertinent to our day. Even so, hidden among us there exists a company of people who will never be satisfied substituting religious activities for intimacy with Christ and the fullness of His stature.

For a season, God concealed David in the Cave of Adullam. At the appropriate time, he and his mighty band emerged in strength to execute God's commission. So shall it be with this company. Sarah Palin's sudden breakthrough from relative obscurity to the forefront of the political scene is a token representation of this hidden company prepared until God's appointed timing. The outcome of this political confrontation is not yet certain; that will ultimately be determined by the praying Church. But one thing is clear, God knows how to groom and release champions who embrace and embody righteous standards of leadership.

Many called to play key leadership roles in the Bride's preparation are not even widely known on earth; but they are recognized in Heaven. They are spiritual warriors who have received God's imputed righteousness and carry His influence. Having captured Heaven's attention, it is now time to arise like Moses from the wilderness and shine like a bright evening star. Only then are we qualified to exercise the Lord's delegated authority to usher in a wave of harvest. Daniel foretold that:

Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. -Daniel 12:3

We are presently called to a heightened place of intimacy and fellowship with God. Our covenant is built upon better promises than that of Moses. Even so, Moses was required to veil his face because of the residue of God's glory resulting from his close encounter with God. How much more should we experience His glory in the new covenant and the literal fulfillment of the spiritual implications associated with the Feast of Tabernacles!

New Seven Year Cycle

Rosh Hashanah 2008 ushered in a new seven-year season in God; it will be much different from the previous seven year cycle that emphasized warfare and preparation. Substantial fruitfulness and restoration will characterize those who are spiritually mature and strengthened to become trustworthy stewards of His mysteries and power. A first-fruits company will begin to experience Heavenly realms and embrace great insights from the now "opened book" containing notable strategies and revelations of the Lord. (See Revelations 10)

There is a present Word being released in God's people that is preparatory for the impending outpouring. It is through His Word abiding in us merged with the Spirit that makes us "Sons of the Kingdom" and the "Tabernacle of God." To espouse manmade traditions, doctrines and perceptions of men rather than the true revelation of the Word, will only become cumbersome weights that interfere with our ability to meet the challenges of this new day.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope full upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --1 Peter 1:13

For years, the Lord has been nurturing and empowering many people in anticipation of this hour. We are now at a crossroad in His blueprint with great change on the horizon. As we determine to worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth, we will also draw nearer to His heart with greater levels of revelatory insight. This model is essential to be entrusted with keys to the Kingdom that unlocks Heaven's greatest resources.

Deep to Deep

This group, by responding to "deep calling unto deep," is being prepared to travel in a new way not yet known to the Church. Our call is to be prepared to carry mantles of power that will be unique to the harvest generation. These things will be called forth by the Spirit of Prophecy. According to Isaiah 48:6-7:

You have heard [these things foretold], now you see this fulfillment. And will you not bear witness to it? I show you specified new things from this time forth, even hidden things [kept in reserve] which you have not known. They are created now [called into being by the prophetic word], and not long ago; and before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, Behold, I knew them! (Amplified version)

A fresh prophetic word is being delegated to the Church to articulate Heaven's desire. When a clear directional word has been imparted, it is our place to announce it through an atmosphere of His anointing. This will be part of the bridal calling.

Those anointed with this Spirit will begin to speak against sickness, sin and spiritual corruption. This past season of grooming and refinement has been for this purpose. There has been a sifting of our soul and the establishment of contrition and humility essential to embody extravagant levels of power and authority. The Spirit of Understanding will bring illumination to this reality and mobilize God's people for this great task.

Sanctified in Truth

An issue of great importance consistently emphasized by the Lord is the full manifestation of the Spirit of Truth. As the emerging army of believers, we must learn to embrace Truth so the "fog" of deception and delusion would have no place to flourish in the Church.

By girding our loins with the "belt of truth," our foundation in Christ is firmly established, allowing us to be leaven-free and fully released into His anointing for this seven-year spiritual season. When wonderful reports began to circulate out of Lakeland, FL and it seemed a revival was on the horizon, I asked the Lord about it and received an unusual response. The Spirit impressed upon me the phrase, "it is the last of the old order." Initially I did not fully understand its implication but greater clarity has developed in recent months.

Based on a prophetic word, our ministry co-sponsored with MorningStar Ministries a conference in March entitled "Honoring the Fathers," with the promise that a spirit of revival would follow. We felt what was developing in Lakeland could have been the initial response to that promise. In retrospect, I do believe that revival was God initiated and the last of an old order.

Clearly great spiritual outpourings are forecast for the coming days. We will see more tent meetings, evangelistic crusades and powerful gatherings in stadiums and churches. However, despite our great appreciation for the healings, miracles and salvations, what we saw demonstrated in Lakeland did not model or demonstrate the "new thing" that is promised. There is more…much more!

Leaven Free

Pentecost was the only of the Lord's Feasts that allowed leaven. What is coming will maintain an emphasis on the extraction of spiritual leaven. Jesus said:

How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. -Matthew 16:11-12

We have seen the realization of Passover, the Feast of the first month, and Pentecost, the Feast of the third month. Now, we are poised to see the literal fulfillment of the Feast of the seventh month-Tabernacles. God will tabernacle in His bride to do through her all the great and wonderful things He did while on the earth in human form.

Of the seven Churches outlined in Revelations, the Laodicean Church most accurately defines this present age. Like Laodicea, our admonition is to be clothed with white garments that the shame of our nakedness would not be revealed; these are representing priestly and divinely powerful apparels by which we clothe ourselves spiritually. To experience Tabernacles is to be "clothed with Christ."

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. -Romans 13:12-14

Our ultimate calling is to be like Him and display His garments of righteousness, sanctification, revelation and power. This is only achieved through the union experience and God Himself tabernacled in His Bride. Isaiah prophesied this saying:

I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. -Isaiah 61:10

If we put on Holy array then our motives will carry no misrepresentation or selfish ambition. Either we must learn from history or we will be doomed to repeat it. In times past many wonderfully anointed leaders stumbled because of the failure to be completely clothed in Christ. We are commissioned at this time to embrace His offering of grace to "become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
(See 2 Peter 1:4)

We are to be "galvanized" with Christ! An iron chain is a very powerful tool; however it can be compromised through corruption and rust. When the iron chain links are galvanized they are coated with zinc, which is non-corruptible. Galvanized iron then becomes much more powerful because it is no longer subject to corruption; it will endure under the harshest of conditions that would otherwise compromise its integrity.

Likewise, when we "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" our spirits are "galvanized" with Christ and our flesh is coated with the anointing. Corruption will then take on the incorruptible nature.

Removing Mixture

The Feast of Tabernacles is referenced more often in the Bible than any of the other feasts and is recognized throughout Israel's history as the greatest of her festivals. It is also known as the Feast of the Open Book.

When Moses came to the end of his journey the Lord commanded him to open the Book of the Covenant and read it to the new generation since the former generation perished in the wilderness because of unbelief. Only in the Feast of Tabernacles was the book opened and read before the people as a symbolic gesture of the great revelation that will come to the generation that literally fulfills all that this Feast represents.

Not only are we called to access the revelations of the "open book" but also devour them and prophecy them to this final age, that the fullness of the Gentiles may come in. According to Revelations 10:10-11:

I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. And they said to me, "You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

This is none other than the book concealed in Daniel's day and revealed to the end-of-time generation. It is the full stature and revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Like the sons of Zadok, the bridal company will minister to the Lord and dine at His table in order to emerge with the discernment necessary to separate the precious from the profane and the clean from the unclean. (See Ezekiel 44)

From a practical point of view, we should expect tremendous revelatory teachings to surface in the coming days that will take us deep into God's Word and the full revelation of the wonderful things concealed through Daniel but revealed to the Bride. This will present her without spot or wrinkle and cleansed of spiritual leaven.

"Open your eyes and see my Wrath that has begun, for most do not understand what is happening but those that are mine I walk among, I dwell with, and they shall be safe and they shall suffer no lack. In this day I am blessing my own, so that they know I am, who I always say I am, and they understand that I am lifting them up above all that is happening, for they are not a part of this, as they have chosen to be blessed and they walk in my ways. But this day is the full revelation of my wrath to all who have turned their backs on Me, for they moan and groan, darkness of soul shall overcome them, and their ways shall deliver to them what they have chosen, as the Curse is the wrath upon all mankind. This is the day that all shall see the true difference between the Blessing, for those who have chosen Life, and the Curse, for those who have chosen death. All that is high and Lofty shall be brought low, and all that is low shall be lifted up high and kept safe. Be at peace in this time, trust in me, and keep your eyes solely on me. See my hands at work, for the immoral shall think they have attained victory, for they shall now experience the Curse which embraces immorality, and death will be their trophy." 
 
Proverbs 11;
3.The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness
 
Jeremiah

30:22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
30:23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.  
30:24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
 
 
Let all be comforted, and be blessed, as our Father has a plan for all those who put their trust in HIM.
 
Love and peace,
