Month: October 2016

Resting and Abiding in HIS presence is so important for renewal.  It is just as important as in marching forward in a war.

Timings, seasons, activity and rest all have important implications that God knows we need.

Quit striving, fretting and going no where.  Have you not learned yet that the more you strive the more frustrated you get?  When I lead you there won’t be guessing, for MY sheep know My voice….  Religious spirits drive you.  I will lead you.

Learn to become comfortable in whatever state God has you in…. you carry his spirit in you.

Peace be still. Be still and KNOW I AM GOD.

“Times of refreshing come from the presence of the LORD,”   Acts 3:19.

Paul learned and acquired the ability to be content.  Think about Paul sitting in a prison for such a long time.  He had no idea the greatest thrust of his ministry would come from his writings to the church.  He learned to be content as we must acquire and learn to be content in all sorts of situations.  Refinement comes when we have learned to be silent and content.

“Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned in whatever state I am in there with to be content,”   Philippians 4:11 KJV.

In the course of time, as the tree grew from a young sapling pressing towards the sun, became twisted, turned, reaching forward seemingly growing further and further apart in different directions, yet upwards.

Some of the branches seemed familiar, yet in other ways most seemed so far from the sapling years gone by.

All the years of growth and rings of maturity faded in the course of this drought. Somehow, the branches had to find their identity again.
Somehow, throughout all of the set-backs and pruning processes, nothing seemed familiar anymore. Being stripped of all that was familiar is gone.

Beloved, come again and walk in the garden in the cool of the day, yearn for the roots, so true Zoe life can begin again.

My love within your soul continually calls out to you. Feel the passion of My desire; sense the yearning of My desire towards you. The yearning and deep ache is only satisfied by ME. You have not been alone. Our love affair is eternal My beloved. Come away with Me…..

Like a swing on the branch of a mighty oak, close your eyes my love. Rest in My Passion. Feel the gentle breeze blowing, and listen for ME. In this place you will hope again. I AM still here. Although none stood with you and all forsook you, I was here and I AM still here.

What stories that mighty oak would tell. Scared throughout time by storms and fires, yet the large oak stood alone bearing branches upward as if the tree was a shrine of centuries. A shrine of remembrance. Standing alone it remains.

Names have come and gone. You thought it would always be, yet My greatest masterpiece is in process beloved….. it is You.

There will be those who come and go, and some may stay awhile but when it is all said any done, it is you and ME. Beloved, you are My highest prize, even as that old oak stands by the rivers of water, the roots going very deep that no storm can up root, no drought or fire can destroy, a tree that is rooted and abiding in the Masters Everlasting presence will never be denied.

Hush now and Peace be still, says the Lord, yes peace be still.

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper,” Psalms 1:3 KJV.

I AM the established cornerstone and this house is being built up into a house of Liberty and GLORY.  

This true house of Kings, Prophets and spiritual Priesthood shall rule and reign and I will display MY splendor in this hour in ways beyond what has been known in the past and even in the current ways you have witnessed.

You must catch what I send and perceive it as Peter perceived I was the CHRIST.  Yes I come in ways that will confound the so called wise and religious men of this age.

I will take the ruins of your lives and repair, build up, redeem and restore the broken places and you shall walk through what seemingly was unattainable.  Press into ME. Press into the hindrances before you; you will find they are smoke.  MY fire burns everything up in MY path; can you see the smoke?  I go before you and pave the way for your steps. Intimidate the intimidator and release those captives that shall be captive to ME says the LORD.

A greater level of faith is being released and built in you and what was so lofty you will now see how insignificant it really was.  As your strength rises in ME you shall blow away the smoke.  Forget what lies behind you and press into your future.  Press into MY presence.  Press into the darkness and watch the light break forth.  Lessons from your past are just that.  Lessons.  LESS of you and more of the SON.

I AM the chief cornerstone on the 12 foundations of MY Apostles.  I have established 12 gates made of pearls of great price and each gate named for the 12 tribes of Israel.

• 3 to the north,
• 3 to the south,
• 3 to the east and
• 3 to the west.

12 angels guard the gates.  These are the gateways coming in and going out.  Behold I AM making all things new and available to you as you are being formed into MY house.  In MY house are all things, you shall not lack any good thing.  MY GLORY shall fill MY house and I will dwell with you.

Can you sense it?  MY Queen shall shine forth like most precious crystal; transparent, pure and filled with MY GLORY.

I AM shaking the earth, sea and winds.  MY army emerges quick in offensive and defensive posture; terrible as a army with banners and I go before you on a white horse and I AM faithful and true.

In a vision I see squads, squadrons and bases.  I see a mighty militant war machine emerge composed of humble servants who are filled with love and have resolve and light in their eyes.

I AM establishing bases and end time strategies.  I will reveal these things to MY warriors who will command bases for I AM invading the earth.  Lands, continents and boundaries are being taken and I AM appointing MY chosen ones to have authority to rule and reign in those regions.

I AM your 5 star general. Commander and Chief.  LORD of Lords and KING of Kings.  I AM uncovering the plots and plans of darkness and they shall be brought into full light.  Nothing is hidden before ME.  They shall flee in terror before ME says the LORD.  MY army that is mobilizing is terrorizing the enemy.  These are terrorizing by land, air and sea.  I will reveal all targets of darkness.  When you hear the sound of the shofar, destroy the plots and plans of darkness with MY sword in your mouth.

In a vision I see a silver full bird eagle.  Promotion comes not from the east or the west but from ME says the LORD.  This is the time of promotion and placement in MY army.  Degrees of authority in regions are being imparted into my warriors.  These will conquer the lands I give them and many souls will be reaped as MY Glory and light rises upon MY warriors.  The enemy will run and scream in terror for the enemy sows in terror and he will reap HOLY terror and the whirlwinds through MY chosen ones.

In a vision I saw a scroll in the air and it was unrolled.  I AM rewriting the airwaves and taking back the communications ports.  MY messages shall go forth through every technological avenue known to man and the curse of sin shall be broken in many and masses will seek ME and find ME.  The satellites will obey me. NOW is the time for MY secrets to be released says the SPIRIT of the LORD.

Scripture taken from the Zondervan Amplified Bible unless otherwise stated.

“AGAIN I lifted up my eyes and behold, I saw a scroll flying or floating in the air!
And the angel said to me, What do you see?  And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cuts or thirty feet and its breadth is ten cubits or fifteen feet.
Then he said to me, This is the curse now your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.
I will bring [the curse] forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of him who swears falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house and shall consume it, both its timber and its stones.
Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.
And I said, What is it?  [What does it symbolize?]  And he said, This that goes forth is an ephah [-sized vessel for separate grains all collected together].  This, he continued, is the symbol of the sinners mentioned above and is the resemblance of their iniquity throughout the whole land.   [Amos 8:5.]
And behold, a round, flat weight of lead bithat goes out over the face of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off from henceforth according to it [the curse written on this subject on the scroll], and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off from henceforth according to it.   [Isaiah 24:6; Malachi 3:8-9.]
And he said, This is lawlessness (wickedness)!  And he thrust her back into the ephah[-sized vessel] and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it!
Then lifted I up my eyes and looked, and behold, there were two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings, for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah[-sized vessel] between the earth and the heavens.
Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Where are they taking the ephah [-sized vessel]?
And he said to me, To the land of Shinar [Babylonia] to build it a house, and when it is finished, to set up the ephah[-sized vessel–the symbol of such sinners and their guilt] there upon its own base,”   Zecherian 51-11.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter,”    [Deuteronomy 29:29; Romans 11:33.]   Proverbs 25:2.

“As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, so the hearts and minds of kings are unsearchable,”   Proverbs 25:3.

• There are no short cuts to becoming the person God wants us to be.
• Let us learn to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.
• Much refinement comes when all is quiet and silent.  It becomes deafening….
• We must KNOW GOD is working even when we don’t feel or see it.
• Being impatient can cause competition and jealousy.

Impatience will provoke us to take things in our own hands instead of waiting on God.

The LORD will often provoke us to jealousy and provoke a reaction to action.  Why?  To get to our heart so WE can see what is in us and repent!  Those that the LORD loves HE corrects.

King Saul took upon himself to do the sacrifice instead of waiting on the prophet Samuel and obeying Gods command.  He took upon himself an office that was NOT his to take.

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams,”   1 Samuel 15:22.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king,”   1 Samuel 15:23.

For those who steal others words for fleshly benefit are actually for false benefit and false prophecy.  Witchcraft, manipulation and control to gain popular approval.

When we compare ourselves among ourselves and compete, we thus have pressure to perform for the eyes of man to see and to appease our insecurities.

Did you know prophets can have a false anointing?  Balaam was a false prophet and yet God used him to bless Israel.

“And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed,”   Numbers 22:12.

Yes it feels like anointing and seems like it but one must discern by the Holy Spirit and scripture.  False prophecy was a problem then as it is now.  See the many palm readers and psychics out there and the church has a problem with seeking out prophets like many seek out psychics.

Again, there are no short cuts to becoming the person God wants us to be.  Being refined takes time and many testing’s by the LORD.  Silence is one of them.  Wait upon the LORD and refuse to speak or write until HE refines you in silence.  As a mouthpiece a prophet must become quiet to hear God.  In time the silence becomes a settled place of peace.

Refinement in silence brings much to the surface.  It causes us to move and do it our way instead of waiting on God.  The flesh often operates if there is fear in the mind.  Something must be wrong since we can’t hear the LORD in silence!  Often insecurities and fears provoke us to act instead of wait.  Waiting is NEVER wasted time, it is preparation time.

We must ask ourselves…  are we driven to insecurity?  God does not drive us, HE corrects and leads us like sheep.

Are we trustworthy with authority?  Are we seeking popularity?

What do we do in silence when it feels like the ceilings are brass?  God will purposely pull back His presence for some time.  What do we do?  We must ask ourselves about motives.  God knows us totally but we don’t know ourselves as HE see’s us.

The evidence of our faith in areas is produced by refining in silence and waiting of GOD for HIS voice.  He shows us areas of error in us to teach us to learn to change as we mature.

We will never mature if we never cooperate in the process.  We may say we want the Word to become flesh in us, but the only way that happens is when we yield to Him.  HE is the refiners fire and HE defines us and burns away those things that hinder our walk.

This walk and the way we mature is through seasons as we walk from the mountains to the valleys.  Part of our maturity is learning to wait as long as it takes for God to speak to us.  We have nothing to offer unless God gives it to us.  Amen?  Amen!
