Trench Warfare

In prayer today, I saw what you call a wartime trench.  I saw many coming from behind the ranks and jumping into the trench, and it was filled with soldiers with various types of weapons.

All with the same uniforms, but differences in insignia, face and weaponry.  I could hear, “Hold steady!”  “Stay on target!”  “Hold! Hold!”  The officers had the information by way of radio for back up.  The trench was filled with soldiers that were ready to fight, but they had to wait for the command to GO!

I AM your commander and chief.  I see the big picture and I know the exact moment to run and attack or even retreat!  Being still and holding position is just as crucial as advancing forward in war.  To retreat in war time, will help the troops to refresh and be ready for the next campaign.  Rest and retreat are also a defensive weapon!  To refresh, supply, renew and restore.

You are not your own.  You have been bought and ransomed by the LORD.  I know the heart ache and pain you suffer.  Having kept your heart covered to protect, will heal beloved.  I AM here says the Lord.  I AM here even in war…  I haven’t left you and realize around you the warriors that you are surrounded by.  Their your comrades, you friends.  You are not alone beloved.

I have given you a militant spirit I know where each person is to be at the exact moment.  I have given you the neck of the enemy.  Keep him under your feet.

One can do damage to the enemy but all of you together can take cities, because you are in ME says the LORD!  I receive great honor because of your obedience in rank and file.

All the time you were seemingly hidden is for NOW!  I have prepared you so well and will continue to as you march towards the path of your destiny.  Today is the day of salvation.  You haven’t seen anything yet!

No plan of darkness can happen unless I know it.  You bring great honor to ME when you display MY splendor as the enemy cannot break through the ranks of authority I have given you.

It is so important NOW to find your place in this militant force.  I have given orders and as you see them you will fall in line and order.  Favor isn’t free and freedom ain’t free! It cost MY life for you and now you must learn to walk in it.

Your sword will be quick, sharp and powerful for you have learned to wield it.  I AM watching over MY WORD and you shall be so one with MY SPIRIT of Grace, that the enemy will not be able to stand or fight against you.

ALL of the plans of darkness will be revealed.  This is a time like no other when the manifestations of the sons of GOD shall rise up in demonstration of the Spirit. Invade the earth!

You must realize and know that your battle is NOT with flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places.

However, you fight and war to release souls and setting the captives free.  You are not taking captives you are releasing them.  There are many wounded that need tending to. Great Grace is needed to help these recover fully.

Be quick to hear, slow to speak as your words must be released MY way.  Give no room for the enemy.  Death and life are in the power of the tongue.  This has been a huge campaign bringing death to the works of the flesh.

As Elijah was sent for a showdown against false prophets of Baal and Jezebel.  Read:

“So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?  if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.  And the people answered him not a word.
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.  Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:  And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.  But there was no voice, nor any that answered.  And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me.  And all the people came near unto him.  And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
And he said, Do it the second time.  And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time.  And they did it the third time.
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces,”   
1 Kings 18:16-39.

There are a lot of so called prophets who profit from others suffering, opportunity and witchcraft.  The one who answers by fire is the LORD almighty.  How do you know?

Fire illuminates.  It confirms and above these things, it will line up with Gods WORD.

I had a vision . I saw a oil lamp burning and the closer I got to it, I saw the face of a believer in the flame.  Flames of fire.  We are those lamps and we are not consumed in the fire but with our fire we bring illumination for others to see their way to God.

You are so needed and valuable to ME says the LORD.  Others are walking the path behind you and through your lamp they shall see the way to go.

Heaven and earth will pass away but MY WORD will never pass away.

What is the difference between hot or cold?  MY WORD is like a fire!

There are those writing and playing the Holy Spirit, writing in competition with others for benefit and it is the flesh!  Feeling pressure to press a word without hearing MY WORD is false prophecy.  Where’s the anointing?  Sometimes silence is the will of GOD to bring us all back to trusting the Lord.  Herds are driven and sheep follow.  Selah.

Cause us to see the desired end of a thing.  Cause us to have strong discernment to know the beginning from the end.  Help us to only be close with those of like heart, like mind and like spirit.  Only DO NOT become a friend to those who only want to use you as a crutch or benefit to expand their way of thinking and doing.  Rethink your thinker.

I will help you! Fear NO man.  I will give you straight up answers and say what needs to be said.  I will not allow MY ministers to control and manipulate.

Some say only what is allowed in the inner circle of things.  Be careful what circles you are in.  When you are being manipulated and controlled in relationships beware of Jezebel.  She has lots of idols.

I have made MY SONS bold as a lion.  Let not boldness be an opportunity to pride, and arrogance.  However MY SONS shall be confident, assurance and stubborn obedience to ME says the LORD.

Child of God

I AM making room for you.  You don’t have to prove anything to no one.  I haven’t called you to fit in.  Quit trying so hard to explain who you are and just BE.  

I will reveal you to whom I choose.  For those who cannot see who you are, they see you as weird, peculiar, different but sincere.  They think you can’t see, you poor deluded soul.

For some time now I have been opening your eyes to show you where people are in their growth and what spirits are at work.  Some just cannot understand what they see, so they say you are different, sincere but weird.  You are in good company!  Do not let other things or people steer you away from what and who you are.

You have entered into a new place and I have solidified those areas that would trip you up.  There are greater times before you.  Yes more of me and less of you.  Surely the humble will be elevated to new places of service.

As a puzzle has many pieces, so are you many pieces all created to form a picture.  There is a mass transition going on and my people are seeking where they are to fit.  Come deeper and know that I AM leading you out of dead religious practices who deny the power and bringing you into perfect liberty and service.

The old Eli order is dead and behold the wick has not been snuffed out.  The order of Samuel is rising and none of his words shall fall to the ground.  The fire burns bright the illumination is crystal clear.  There will be a clear line in the sand.  A clear word from heaven.  Promotion comes from ME says the Lord and all that are seeking me shall find me.

I AM that stone that precious stone and you are falling on it.  Humble meek and mild and I am giving you special authority and power and releasing special weaponry.

The WORD is sharp and quick, your sword is for you,Take it!  It is your precise authority.  It is not too heavy for you but light.  My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  I have planned this for such a time.

I AM making my remnant so sensitive.  There will be those who say, they don’t know where you begin and where you end, for no one can tell.  You and My sword are one.

It is a new season and I AM waking up MY bride.  She is aglow burning bright.  Many try to hide it, and frankly you haven’t known what to do with it.  Yet it is and was and will be.

The name of this day is “The Lord Is Here” you are that city set up high and the light of illumination cannot be hidden.  They speak against what they don’t know about.

We are not separate but one.  Don’t try to defend yourself don’t be hurt anymore.  Don’t be hurt by family and so called friends as I have given you elevation above what you once knew.

There are unholy alliances so be aware of those you allow in your life.  Not everyone wants to go higher, however they see the light and want you!  Give no place to allies whose hearts do not beat with yours.  Yes you become all things to all men that you might win them.  However, so called friends and family stand against you.  Love them from a distance.

Some people just won’t separate from what they love more than me.  They want the easy way and are jealous of you.  This is a season of separation sequences from various directions.  They will come one way and flee seven ways.

Those who stand against you, forgive and love them from a distance.  Kill them with kindness, as you heap coals of fire on their heads to convict.

By Grace we endure.  You cannot fix yourself to conform, this is a divine work of grace, as you conform into the image of MY SON.

You have noticed you don’t “feel” like you use to.  Yes you have entered a new place of maturity.  Your faith has increased.  You love and serve ME even when you don’t “feel” a thing.

Pure faith, hope and love and the greatest is love.  Trusting faith like a child, trusting ABBA as you go.  The process has pulled, stretched, lengthened until a pure white sheet emerges hanging in the sunny sky, Without any spots, wrinkles or any blemish.

Don’t you know who you are?  You have seen and heard well.  You bow out from any recognition or title.  Those who seek positions and titles are proud.  When I promote everyone will know it.

Through all the test, trials and tribulations…  I have prepared you.  For some of you it has been many years of hiding, cave dwelling, disillusionment and suffering in silence, yet I saw it all and you were not alone.  The days of alienation are over.

Have you noticed that there are people you know and others you were close to now act strange when they see you?  It has been like being in a large group of people being there, but you are still alone.

You have tried at times to fit various places but couldn’t.  Let there be no weeping or tears.  I AM your passion and lover, I will never leave you MY beloved.  I AM jealous over you.

In MY plan of bringing you into maturity you found that I love children.  They love simple and childlike and they believe their ABBA.  They recognize other children as well, and learn that being a child of God is their highest calling.

You have entered a new place, no more looking back.  Look to now and the bright future I have planned for those who love ME says your God.

“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea,”   
Matthew 18:2-6.

“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
Therefore say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.  And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them,”
   Matthew 21:42-45.

The Sleeping Giant

When in prayer, I had an impression of a sleeping giant.  I remember a novel called Gulliver’s Travels.”   It reminded me of what I saw.

There were so many little demons scurrying around the body trying to tie down the giant with ropes.  As the giant slept, the demons were happy to have this huge giant restrained.  Then the giant began to wake up, and all of the ropes snapped off.  It was sheer terror to the demons for they thought they had it all covered.  They worried and they know they made a big mistake.

It amazes me that we ALL tend to forget and feel so overwhelmed at times when we go through test, trials, and tribulations.  We tend to forget who we are and who is in us abiding there in the temple of our being.  However, we gain POWER under pressure.

All the cycles we go through, the test, tribulations and the trials are all working a greater plan that God gives us glimpses of.  These times pack on spiritual muscle because the pressures we go through work a greater plan in the destiny of man and the Church.

“What?  Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”  1 Corinthians 6:19.

Christ in us the hope of Glory!  Realize that giant lives in every born again believer.  It gives a good perspective, when you see your enemy so small.

The true church is waking up and the devil is running for cover.  He knows if we know who we are and know who lives in us he has no authority. T he only authority the devil has in our lives is what we give him.  God didn’t leave us helpless, he sent the Holy Spirit to us to give us POWER over all the power of the Devil.

GOD is waking the CHURCH up!  Set the trumpet to your lips and blow the trumpet in Zion!  Big Revival is coming on a national, local and personal level.  Watch and see what the Lord does.

The Sleeping GIANT is Waking up!

The Oasis of MY Presence

Rejoice MY virgin Bride!  Dance both young and old for together I have turned your mourning into dancing and great joy.

Your joy is strengthening you, it is settling you and causing great comfort.  You shall rejoice after the sorrow and suffering and you shall have great Hope for the future.

Many were scattered, tattered and torn and I AM gathering them and preparing them for the climax of ages.  For truly I have taken them like a shepherd does with his flock.

I laid down MY life for you and I have not forgotten you.  I called you to the table with the children’s bread not the crumbs on the floor.  You are MY sons and daughters.  Many will say, I finally found where I belong.

Many of MY children are coming back.  I have redeemed and paid the total ransom for your life from the hand that was too strong for you.  You have found grace in the wilderness and I have brought you into rest.

I have loved you the whole time, never have I forgotten you.  In each crushed, pressed flower of the wilderness has produces a beautiful scent and aroma of the rose of Sharon.

It is through MY loving kindness I have drawn you.  Again you will be restored and built.  All of the shattered pieces of your lives will be restored.  Oh virgin, you shall again be adorned with tambourines and dance with all your heart unto ME and be merry.

MY remnant is being gathered from all directions.  Many are coming with all their hearts, with weeping, those who were blind, lame and those pregnant with destiny.  I will be your GOD and you are MY people.  A great company shall return here.  They will come to ME as I have said and they will hear MY voice.

Keep in pace, keep moving regardless of the noise and distractions.  Don’t look to the left or right just straight ahead to ME says the LORD.  Be who you are!  Be free!  Freedom is calling you so you can be yourself.  You have felt that no one knows you really.

No one sees or knows.  However I see and know you.  The glory of MY face is upon you and in that glory many will come closer to ME.  People are waiting on you as they are watching you.  Living epistles seen and read.  You have no idea how many see MY Grace in your face.

Others will move away from you slowly as they can see MY light but they are not of ME.  They tried to see if you would die.

However, I know MY sheep and they are mine and they know me.  These were tended to in the oasis of MY presence.  Still water, shade from the heat and rest for their souls.

Even in the dark around the fire, The light of that fire kept away all enemies, for they are seen easily in the light of MY fire.  In that light all is revealed good and bad.  True hearts are being revealed even in your midst now says the LORD.
