Overwhelmed or Anointed?

I am sensing in my spirit that many are frustrated and feeling pressured to perform. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He created a special yoke just for you; not too heavy, not to light, but just right.

I am sensing in my spirit that many are frustrated and feeling pressured to perform.  His yoke is easy and his burden is light.  He created a special yoke just for you; not too heavy, not to light, but just right.

He has been on me strong about REST in the LORD, and wait on Him, especially the next two and a half months.  It is just as important to rest in the LORD as being on the front line in battle.

God knows what is coming in this season and the next, and we best spend time with Him in rest and rebuilding our reserves.  We cannot do it all and when we are placed in position that we Must DO this, or that,

God doesn’t work this way.  You will work from a place of rest, recovery, renewal and restoration.  It is the LORD that breaks all yokes and makes us ready for more.

Man can do mighty feats but if the energy dies, what do you have left?  Exhausted flesh!  When God speaks it is out of his great love and concern for us; He knows how to prepare us and equip us.  He knows us so well that we will not fail; God also knows when it is ready and time to happen in season.

The tower of Babel was a tower made by man, but God had to stop them.  He does the same with us when we are too far extended and feel, “I got to do this and keep up, or I will miss out.“

We will fall with total exhaustion in our flesh if we don’t heed His Word.  Being legalistic and doing the drill will only further your exhaustion.  The remedy is to Rest in Him and rest your soul and body.

If you feel your being driven and overwhelmed please back off and talk with the LORD.  God will give you his will in all this.  You feel you have to do this now or you will miss out!  NO YOU DON’T!  All of the Rest is to prepare us for what is coming in the next season.  God is a very good Father and knows best.

Lay hands suddenly on NO man.

We can get into things prematurely by excitement, being driven or trying to advance our own agenda!  Surely we can get into things and be human doings, instead of human beings, get exhausted and not be ready to handle all of it.

If we try to make it happen, it can come in the form of judgment, as God will let us test our borders and we can either learn or not.  You realize that the enemy knows your condition and if you don’t rest in the LORD and wait when He tells you, the enemy will come with demons that know you are a novice, exhausted or rebellious and will attack you.  We can avoid a lot of heartache by learning to just BE who you are and be at peace and rest in the LORD.

Again Resting, Renewal, Recovery and Restoration, is just as important as being on the front lines for battle.

When God releases us, we have waited for the master to lead us into all truth, and be made ready by his preparation.  God will give us a way of escape to be able to bear whatever comes.  You will be ready and recovered!

We are to know those who labor among us.

I got to know those who labor for me and not let just anyone be my leader.  That takes time to know a person.  A premature release could cause really bad damage to precious souls we love and care about.  Premature could cost a life because they didn’t allow God to prepare them.  We must learn and know those among us, and we all should be hearing the same thing.

Not a novice lest they be lifted up in pride and fall into the trap of the enemy.  Leaders are accountable who they release.  People need pastoral teaching, training and the equipping of all the offices of the five fold ministry to prepare Gods people for works of service.

When you put people in positions to soon without KNOWING those who labor among us, is not biblical.

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity,”   1 Timothy 4:12.

“I charge thee before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure,”
   1 Timothy 5:21-22.

“Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil,”   1 Timothy 3:6-7.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also,”   2 Timothy 2:1-2.

“And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will,”   2 Timothy 2:24-26.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works,”   
2 Timothy 3:14-17.

Be Still and Know I AM GOD

As I walk in the garden in the cool of the day, I look for those who shall get down on their knees and pray. I look for those whose hearts are turned toward me, that in their nakedness and their transparency, I shall clothe them with MY GLORY.

As I walk in the garden in the cool of the day, I look for those who shall get down on their knees and pray.  I look for those whose hearts are turned toward me, that in their nakedness and their transparency, I shall clothe them with MY GLORY.

Not in a clothing of their own making but of Mine.  A Covering that shall cover all your parts.  I AM the last Adam, I have broken down the middle wall of partition and I have Graced you with access into MY presence by My own blood.

As you know Me in intimacy, as you long for Me as your Beloved, I shall make you as a fertile field that shall bring much fruit.

No longer are you banned from the garden of the LORD, no longer are you barren.  As you abide in Me and My Word abides in you, you shall bring forth much fruit.

Forget those religious fruitless enterprises, and embrace the lover of your soul.  I will take care of you.

Learn of Me, listen to My still small voice as you are still, small and quiet.

It is I, who leads you by still waters that restores your soul.

I AM preparing MY bride that shall walk with Me by cool mountain streams and bathe in the freshness of a cascading waterfall.

I have much in store for My bride.  She shall flow in the rivers of MY TRUTH AND MY SPIRIT.  There are many different arteries and streams of MY GLORY.

I shall be revealed in those who have immersed themselves in the streams of MY GLORY.  For in MY Garden there are the streams of MY GLORY and the waterfalls.

How do you find MY garden?  It is not far from you.  Come aside for awhile MY beloved and you will find those places.  Learn to walk with ME everyday.  How?  Your Soul and Spirit have been created to be tuned into MY Voice. Be still and know that I AM GOD.

From the Ashes to the Oasis

God is setting up Divine Protocol. This is God’s way of systematically setting up order in correct conduct and procedures to be followed. This is essential for anyone in God’s army. We are all under his command.

God is setting up Divine Protocol.  This is God’s way of systematically setting up order in correct conduct and procedures to be followed.  This is essential for anyone in God’s army.  We are all under his command.

Vision:

I see a dead body being cremated.  Intense heat caused the dead body to dry up and burn away till all that was left was ashes.  The ashes were swept up and put into a pottery vessel and a top on it.  The vessel itself looks to be made of clay and seasoned in heat to become a usable vessel fit for the masters use.

As we rise from the ashes of our past, nothing is left but our frail earthen body made of clay.  Day by day we have died to our flesh and as we decrease, HE is increasing.  The goal?  To become as he is; a consuming fire, so transparent with nothing to hide.

Though our outer body dies, our inward body is renewed day by day.  We can have a new beginning each day, each hour, each moment.  Christ paid the price so we can have everything he promised us.  There is nothing holding us back as we are learning to walk clothed in the glory of God.  We have sold ourselves to God because we finally realize that HE is our great and exceeding reward!

“My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her.  The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.  Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?  I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.  Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.  Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee.  What will ye see in the Shulamite?  As it were the company of two armies,”   Song of Songs 6:9-13 KJV.

Vision:

I see a small scale replica of a ministry shown through time, with military type situation’s. looking down from above.  Like looking from a strategic and tactical stance in military terms.

God is keeping many things hidden, but has been preparing us for battle.  I see how He uses all life skills and tests us in various levels of being faithful with little.  I see all sorts of situations God has trained us in small scale, to be able to be ready to handle large scale ministry and battles.

God is giving strategy to His overall campaign plan, which will involve complex operational patterns, decision making that leads us to tactical execution.  He is revealing these things to His generals and full bird colonels who have been prepared for such a time.

We must discipline ourselves to be readiness whenever and wherever we are.  For when the trump sounds it is time to GO!  Sometimes being still is the hardest thing we do.  Be still and know that I AM God; that is just as important to God as charging forward.

Vision:

From above, I see a long wide box of glass housing the small scale replica’s of ministries and battles in various time and places.

I also see those times of being alone in suffering, no one knew but God.

I also see those in times of being hidden and kept in secret.  For in isolation HE teaches us dependence on Him alone.  For some, it has been decades in waiting.

I heard, “Will I ever be ready?”  Then I saw those wandering aimlessly through years and those He carried through death experiences.

Preparation is never wasted time nor are our mistakes.  God turns everything around for our good and will use all of our experiences and mistakes to help build up the body and army of God.

Despise not small beginnings.

The replica’s revealed the exact timing and training ground.  Many of you recognize this as coded orders from the training gained through the campaign’s.  The LORD has taken us through basic training, then to technical training on to strategic full time training.  Many thought they were already in full time ministry, but in fact, it was more training.

The I AM asked; “Would you be faithful with a few?”  Would you be faithful with one?

What if I asked you to leave it all and loose your life and follow me; would you go for My sake?  Would you?  There is a cost.  Would you pick up your cross and follow Me wherever I send you?

God is standing above watching us walk it out.  He prepared us so well, that we will not fail the mission.

I see promotions.  Promotion comes from the LORD.  I see movement; God is moving each piece in placement on His battle plan.  Like when the generals stand over the maps at command center operations to plan strategy and campaigns.

“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.  But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another,”  Psalm 75:6-7.

The last shall be first, the first last.

A militant and pioneer spirit go hand in hand;  The violent take the land by force from the enemy;  These militant pioneers, go to where no man has gone before, does what no man has done before.

For example, a wagon train with a sign on the side saying; “Arizona or bust.”  There is absolutely no turn around.  These have declared to God; it is all or nothing; and some are willing to lay down their lives and die for the prize.

To these, there will be nothing left behind, all bridges burned and gone.  Only ashes are left.   These face the day and future as fact not fiction; dealing with issues head on.  These move when the glory cloud moves.

Instead of each wagon individually, we circle our wagons corporately.  In this end time army you cannot survive by yourself.  There shall be corporate anointing campaign’s as needed against all the enemy attacks.

We will be like one wheel with many spokes, but when all are in place doing each individual purpose, the wheel and the hub within the wheel will be able to roll and move forward.

Diverse yet each spoke in place makes the wheel roll with traction surface.  All in unison, preferring one another, recognizing each gift and appreciating them and doing whatever must happen for them to be in place.  Each one being interdependent of one another.

Those who are with us become our close allies and kindred family.  Land that was deemed unfit will become artisan wells that springs up in the desert; a new oasis is formed.  There are some oasis that are break points for refreshing.  There will be others that will host new spring oasis for advancement, a protective encampment of sorts to teach and train others how to function within the boundaries of their gifting, equipping and releasing.

Others will come and be planted, rooted and grounded in new plans from the masters hand.  While many will come and go, only looking at the surface level in the barren land; others will grow and thrive in the midst of insurmountable odds.

For those who have sold out to God and moved with Gods cloud by day and fire by night, these will see signs, wonders, miracles and provision from heaven. It will be heaven on earth.  Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Many are waiting for you to become the promise they have waited for.  For some have watched from a distance, even decades, thinking you would die.  Some have wandered aimlessly in dry barren land and became strengthened due to your intervention.

In these spiritual oasis’, many sheep will come and lambs birthed in the shelter of the shade of protection and drink of pure clear water.  Abused wounded sheep shall come, but will quickly realize that this is what they have waited for, for so long.  Some even gave up thinking there would never be a shepherd that could find them in this intense heat.  Many will be so grateful to God, to finally find where they fit.

In this environment of provision and great love, there will be many live births.  Others will be strengthened and fulfilled in their position.  They will recognize the government of the LORD. For his government is on his shoulders.  He even carries a sheep on his shoulders that were lost, and he brought them to the waters edge.  In the oasis of His presence, there shall be tall palm trees and leaves of other plants that provide shade and cool place to thrive.

Many of these have set their face like flint.  Their stance is; We shall press through pressure, pregnancy, purpose, plan, promotion and provision.  Promotion comes from the LORD and he will reveal his plans to his servants the prophets.  Many are birthing His purposes now.

Every road formed by pioneers, becomes the spear head for others to map their trek by.  The LORD has gone before us and has made every crooked place straight.

We are on a mission from GOD.  He is going into ALL the world seeking and saving those who are lost and dying.  His mission and commissioning of those who are and will be ordained by God, shall have the nature and character of Christ.

These are broken, humble, meek, gentle, mild and lowly of heart yet these have great determination, fortitude, boldness, confidence and courage with resolve against the enemy and many hirelings and false brethren.  The hirelings will accuse My beloved and mistakenly label them as prideful, arrogant, haughty and rebellious.  The enemy will accuse day and night.  They seek to cause confusion to those who are without understanding and weak.

“These valiant ones, though they take no credit to themselves, will uncover and reveal the enemies positions and plans as they are obedient to my call.  When they walk into a region, hell shakes!  When they walk into a city, church house or home, hell knows it and hell shakes and demons tremble!

The enemy knows who you are and the anointing of light uncovers anything hidden in darkness.  Even in so called religious houses, hell shakes.  Even the enemy knows who you are and must respond to My authority.  They know who you are!

“Jesus I know and Paul I know but who are you?’   Acts 19:15*

I have given you authority and the power of My Word.  Everywhere your feet tread has been given to you to possess.  Our enemy stands up in fear and fright. My anointing will provoke a reaction to action, and when the enemy reacts he will reveal his position.

My weaponry shall be revealed and released in My warriors and they shall destroy the assignments of darkness.  Many shall be destroyed in the planning stages in secret, for I will reveal these secrets to My prophets.  Listen to the sound beloved; Hear the sound of the trumpets!  Destroy the works of the devil.  It is for the souls of man kind that you fight and win!

Personal Word:

You have fought in many campaigns and there are those who will come together in their season in time and you will be given understanding that you shall know their boundaries in spirit and release them.

All will flow together in unison, as each are prepared on the backside of the desert as Moses was.  Each carrying within gifts hidden, and weaponry genetically placed within each cell and membrane of their soul and spirit.

I have chosen to hide My purpose within them, for these end time warriors and battles are for the souls of man kind.  The goal is to find and win them, as others are in place to teach, train, equip and release them into their positions.

Each having gifts differing from the others, but placed like a puzzle piece in union with others of like heart and nature.  Each one individually were created for such a time as this.

All uniting to one place yet sent from many places as the commissioning dictates.  Sent with orders from above by faith, not knowing what they shall expect, except that they know they heard from heavens messengers. Selah.

“And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?”   Acts 19:15.

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.  But it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?  Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God,”   1 Corinthians 2:7–11.

I Give You Power With My Authority

With authority comes responsibility. Responsibility to see, hear and do what I say.

 

 

With authority comes responsibility.  Responsibility to see, hear and do what I say.

Behold, I give you power with My authority to speak My Word.

For power without My authority is sorcery.

Beware of those like Simon the sorcerer who seek you out, so they will hang out with you having false motives.  The character of Simon was pride and bragging.  The power in his life was from sorcery.  He wanted the preeminence.  He wanted the glory and he wants to be amazing.  His whole motivation for wanting the power of God was so people would look to and depend on him.

Hypnosis is a state of the mind where the person is focused on words or suggestions, then mesmerized or bewitched.  Be aware of these strategies.

Those whom I connect with you will confirm what I have said to you.  I have sent counter balance to protect My servants from false alliances, false authority and false prophecy. Trust My choices says the LORD.  Trust in My timing.

For in UNION there is safety.  The days are at hand that those with wrong motives will be appraised and revealed.

Many will repent when the Authority of My power arrives.  I will give evidence that will make them speechless and My fear shall return to My church.  For the powers of hell are being shaken and being cast out of My house.

I reveal the idols of jealousy at My gates.  Once again, I over turn the tables and drive the money changers out of My house.  They seek to manipulate with money thinking they have access through their gifts to you.  Beware beloved!

Satan himself trembles at the increase of My anointing on the earth, for he cannot stop My wave.

The powers of darkness seek to mimic and compete with My anointing by showing forth signs and wonders that are only detected by My true anointing.

I have anointed you to cast out the enemy.  Ring the neck off of the serpents that have brought shame.  I have appointed you to destroy the works of the devil.

My authority comes with a price.  My power shall accomplish My witness to the whole
earth.  My witness testifies of my nature; My fruit, My character.

Know them who labor among you.  Knowing those who labor among you takes time, says the LORD.
