Absolute Confidence & Closure

There’s a seriousness this hour, unlike anytime period in history and we’re part of it. People coming into the realization of exactly what the LORD is saying.

 

There is a seriousness of the hour.  Many feel it.  It is unlike anytime period in history, and we are part of that hour.  People coming into the realization of exactly what the LORD is saying.

Some of us are identifying with the path of the LORD and to the new people we have met, and those we have not met yet.

New things are coming, beloved, new methods and godly adventures in His presence for those who set their desire on him; such desire not known to many.  It isn’t the time to play Church but be The Church.

There are many changes, beloved.  It is time to prepare for the harvest and discipleship.

Having grieved over the revelation of friends who are now unwilling to go; sorrows filled our heart for those who were really not with us.

I saw with such clarity and felt what it must feel like when Jesus marveled with those of unbelief and those who rejected him.

You would think there would be absolute trust as when Jesus and his disciples spent three years together.  Isn’t it fair to say that being with Jesus should or would bring absolute assurance, trust and closure in our confidence of the faith?

These are the things that we hold so dear with our experiences.  Would we die for our faith?

The confidence of the disciples dwindled down when all at once, Jesus was taken from them destined for the passion.

Surely we would have undeniable faith in the LORD, being solid in our walk and to feel deep inside the betrayal of His own; for He also carried that with Him?

He was crucified and He felt the hopelessness and betrayal of Judas and of those who falsely charged Him as a criminal.

Jesus knew of Peter’s denial, and how a close follower can scatter away.  As Jesus was on His way to pay the ultimate price, His followers dispersed off the path of the number dwindling back.

Anyone who truly is sent, hasn’t very many who are close to them.  Although a hub, you find that your circle of whom you will really work with and trust, keeps getting smaller!

We must know those who labor among us.

Once we know God’s will and placement, do not deviate.  If there is a problem, we must work things out quickly.  For our time is coming to an end soon and we must work while it is day and help as many as the LORD sends.

If you are not sure where you belong, Jesus is giving every opportunity for people to say ‘no,’ and walk away, as He doesn’t want those to stay for people.  You stay for the opposite; to only stay if you choose to stay for Him.

I sense this strongly, that some of us have entered a point of no return.

This is no play.  I don’t know how to be more serious.  We each need to know it for ourselves.

Seek God for yourselves and get planted.  Let nothing uproot you ever again.

Warning! The Devised Plan of Coup D’etat

I was watching a flock of sheep and I noticed some of the sheep and lambs were getting too far off to be watched carefully.

 

Vision:

I was watching a flock of sheep and I noticed some of the sheep and lambs were getting too far off to be watched carefully.  I had noticed on the fringes of the field near thick brush and trees, some of the sheep were not aware of their surroundings.

I noticed those same sheep who were far off suddenly change course and ran back closer to the flock.

Then all of the sudden I noticed a ruckus of behavior near that same area of brush.  I saw a couple of sheep involved and one broke free running back to the flock.  This ruckus alerted the shepherd to take a better look.

Indeed there were wolves in the locale.  Wolves usually travel in packs so there was concern about the flocks safety.  As the shepherd went to the area of interest, he saw the remains of the sheep that was taken and devoured quickly by the wolves, all that was left was blood and the skins of wool.

I was able to see one one of the wolves from a distance, as the rest dissipated as quickly as they packed together.

The LORD began to relate this to His people, “the flock of God.”

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves,”   Matthew 10:16 KJV.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?”   Matthew 7:15 KJV.

In scripture the devil is described as a wolf or wolves.  To understand the vision one must understand the Shepherd’s care of the sheep and lambs.  In this vision, once the sheep were caught by the wolf or wolves, the sheep were being devoured while yet being alive. It wasn’t a clean kill, it was torturous and in frenzy.

The devil has no mercy for God’s people and seeks to steal, kill, destroy and devour everything in our lives.  It is hard to explain what is happening to those who are concerned for you unless they personally have been through this type of thing.

It can feel like torture and your life may feel like you’re a feeding frenzy having wild extreme mental agitation, wild excitement or derangement with absolutely no order!

You may feel like a totally lost cause and have no support.  God has not left us, we are living in end time warfare!  Once the enemy gets within strike distance, he attacks and shocks us to gain access into our lives.

The devil isn’t playing with us, he wants to see us taken completely out!  You have got to learn not to play or avoid the signs of the devils activity in your life.  He won’t stop until he destroys you.

Also note that when the sheep was killed, not long after devouring that sheep, the wolf in sheep’s clothing appeared in the flock.  He is among us incognito.  The enemy satan and his cohorts seek not only to kill, but to steal and destroy as well.

To relate this to our spiritual journey, every time the enemy is out and about, he seeks those sheep and lambs, (Christians) who continually venture away from the shepherd and the strongholds of safety.  We must find our place and remain there even if it is online ministry.

The LORD is using social media beloved; it can literally reach anywhere in the world. All five fold-ministry is available online, you just need to seek the LORD for His placement for you.

There is power and protection in numbers beloved.  The devil knows this too and is why he loves to isolate Christians and come to us in packs!  He wants to not eat your lunch but to devour you and everything important to you and God.

Who is your pastor or apostle?  Who watches over you in prayer and teaches you?

These people will watch over you and must give account to God for your souls.  When you find the ministry to be connected to, treat it with utmost respect and honor.  As it is set forth for your benefit and care from the LORD.

Do not touch God’s anointed beloved!  These go through a lot of battles on your behalf.  Do not be part of a feeding frenzy in gossip and slander!  Be grateful to God!  It is for life and death that these have surrendered to God on your behalf!

Become planted in God’s sheepfold!  If you don’t know where you are to be planted, seek the LORD to find it.

These five-fold ministers must give account to God of how they minister to you and for you.  It is not an easy job for them, so be respectful to God and to those he brings into your life to help and bless you.

There are much spiritual lessons to learn through all this.  I also noticed that once that sheep (Christian) was devoured, that the wolf went further to squander their possessions and ruined their good name economically, spiritually, emotionally and locally.  He wants to RUIN YOU!

Furthermore the wolf (the devil or demon) uses these things like skins to remain hidden so that from a distance they all seem like sheep and are clothed like sheep.  It is when the sheep and lambs are too far away from the fold that the shepherd cannot discern as well.

The wolf took to himself those skins and purposely stayed at a distance to avoid discernment. (Devil took the former sheep’s identity!).  That is why it takes discernment because you remember that person a certain way and now they are very different.

Once the fullness of the strategy comes, then a planned coup d’etat is staged by the devil.  By taking the person’s identity, what is left of that person is used by the devil taking their place in life.

The enemy seeks a host to live in and with.  The devil will attempt to use the identity of that fallen sheep in deception to cause havoc.  All being done in the name of that former sheep.

Our battle is not with flesh and blood but with principalities, powers and rulers in darkness. Satan seeks a host and this is a way he gets one.

A coup d’etat is a sudden decisive exercise of force especially a violent overthrow or alteration of a small group like existing government by small group etc.   ©Merriam Webster Dictionary.

God is supposed to sit on the throne of our heart and being filled with HIM keeps us protected and prepared from outside sources.  We are living in the last day and we must learn to walk in the Spirit and live, eat, drink, sleep and breathe in the Holy Spirit.

It takes special care to help deliver one that is so deceived among us.  They need the Lord to set them free and many times they know something is wrong but cannot pin it down.

Then there are others that are purposely spreading devilish lies these need deliverance too.  However when one is pinned down, leadership must try to reach out to them to stop the damage unfolding.

Don’t give up on them; just remind them of all God has done in their life.  Hopefully, through much prayer, they will seek deliverance.

There are some among us, who may look like a duck and waddle like a duck or quack like a duck but on closer inspection is a decoy.  That is why we are supposed to know those who labor among us.

This is why we are to KNOW them and why the gift of discerning of spirits is so important.

Be equipped beloved of God!  Find your place of protection and fellowship, seek God for where you can finally rest in a covered five fold ministry environment.  It is available to all, even on-line if you seek it.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand,”   Ephesians 6:12-13 KJV.

Cracked, Broken and Beyond Repair?

I will continue to declare your year of release and reversals!  We declare that the favor of God is upon us, now is the set time.  The set time has come.

This was written in 2011 and I was prompted by God to edit and continue to speak to us about getting to the root and heart of the matter.  May God illuminate as his presence abides in us.  Open the eyes of our heart God!

 

Cracked, Broken and Beyond Repair…
There is Hope For Your Future!

I received three visions all pertaining to releases, advances, and not looking back.

I will continue to declare your year of release and reversals!  We declare that the favor of God is upon us, now is the set time.  The set time has come.

I have gone through so much I wonder why and how I am still alive.  I lost everything, and you know how people love to talk, when they hear things like you are sick, have no money or disabled etc.

People, especially those with the Christian label, love to judge us.  These judge us for the very suffering that prepares us to carry the light into the world.

The only thing I know is, I am a broken cracked vessel and that is all.  Being somewhat in a remote region and having very few who are here or near has been hard.  I am just waiting for God to be established soon.

When we wonder about suffering we need to remember the prophets of old.  The Bible is our example of suffering.

Seriously, who has prayed for us all this time we experienced?

What is the LORD’s will in our lives?

When ALL seemingly have forsaken us and through blinding tears in mustard seed faith we speak, God says, HE will lift us up!

You know even when a brother sins, we should be mindful of God’s grace.  In understanding the story of Noah when his two sons covered up his nakedness, only two of them were respectful and covered him.  One son disrespected their passed-out drunk father.  That speaks volumes to me.  (Read Genesis 9.)

Where is the respect toward the people of God?

We all are part of the body and each need to be in our part.  Why isn’t there respect even when leaders fail and life eats away at all of us?

We have learned to hide and keep everything to ourselves.  We have learned to put on our religious masks and live in hypocrisy and pride.

Life has a way of stripping us to reveal the real deal.  Religion is not Christianity.  Religion is a return to bondage.  We find the real life of a believer in God’s Word.  There are many examples of life and failure in there.

I seemingly have wandered aimlessly many years, and as serious as I can be, I would rather have died than to have gone on being aimless.  God knows our hearts, and we don’t even know that about our own self!

The LORD’s releases and reversals are not dependent on our spiritual activity, or lack of, but on HIM who mapped the way for our feet to go.  He has gone on before us.

What I have found evident in my own life, has been suffering.  Why is this part of service to the LORD hidden and so despised and embarrassed?

We ALL go through this process.  He takes broken vessels and uses them!

We all go through hard things and the process of being broken is used for our good.  These things are known by God and when we are placed in the wine press, the precious juice is taken from the vine and then processed through time into a vintage only the master knows when to unveil.

I am alarmed with the rising of cults, new agers, those who have a flowery image of the walk of faith.  They say God is love, so eat and drink be merry.

They do not believe in hell, and they state that we are trouble makers and of the old order, and they are new order.  They believe in NO negatives.  This doctrine is in many churches, even spirit filled churches.

Sin is still sin and God’s Word is still HIS Word!  God has not changed!

There is such mixture in beliefs that are contrary to the Holy Bible.  We need to know for ourselves!  We cannot depend, or trust anyone!

That means ministers, friends, feelings or signs, wonders and all sorts of feelings including those that seem so real.  God’s word is the final authority.

False prophets manipulate and control feelings!  You must beware of feelings like anointings that seem real.  Feelings are deceitful!

If we don’t base our salvation in Jesus Christ only we are in deep trouble.  To have God in our lives is to have a personal relationship with him.

We must KNOW GOD’s WORD for ourselves!  We must discern and understand ourselves!  I don’t care how it feels or sounds.

This is life and death beloved!  I cannot compromise!  We must cleave to God’s Word like it is our life preserver because it is!

We must learn and read the BIBLE ourselves.  Why am I so adamant?

Why am I so animated and serious?

Why?  When we die we will each stand before God to see if we accepted Jesus as our savior or rejected him.

Do not trust or depend on another person’s experience of salvation regardless if they are a minister or famous!  We must cast all of our cares on the LORD and ask Him to lead us into truth.

Ephesians 4 Five-fold ministers!  Listen!  How are leaders to prepare the flock of this condition and generation?

How do we protect the spiritual babies and the adolescents we are responsible and accountable for?

We must prepare these with the utmost degree of care and love for we will answer for their souls.  These young ones are under subjection until they are of full age to understand.  As leaders we will give account to God for these things.

Personally what I find shocking, is how deceptive and smooth are the false ministers.  Also the degree of pseudo anointing on them! In our day the scriptures are being fulfilled and applicable now!

New age is so deceptive!  It feels and loves like God and those who trust in what they feel will miss truth.  Faith in God is ONLY through receiving Jesus Christ our LORD period.

“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them,”   2 Corinthians 4:4.

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,”   2 Corinthians 4:17.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath with darkness?
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works,”   2 Corinthians 11:12-15.

It will cost something for those who believe in Christ.  There is a day coming to America where we will have to take a stand, and it will cost us our lives.

When I read my Bible, it speaks of everyone who desires to walk with God will suffer persecution and will go through fire after fire.

I don’t know how I survived so much, but this I do know, I don’t claim to be some sort of high ranking prophet, minister or anything.

Why do I shy away?  Because the more I see, the less I want to do or say.  I have acquired through suffering and trial the ability of being very quiet. We must study to be quiet and allow the LORD to temper us.

It takes effort and God will sure give us many opportunities to tame our tongue and the heart issues.  I can see the price. It’s one thing to see it at a distance and quite another to know it intimately.

I would rather be empty of everything, cracked and broken, than to be standing in some lofty title and position of man.  I don’t want to say a thing unless it is God.  Because God gets ALL the glory!

We must learn to stay in the flow, even though we feel alone and seem to be a weirdo swimming up stream.  We like salmon must press and press forward to spawn new life in the land of our ancestors.

Such suffering in life is our press, purpose, plan and timing. Once we arrive, we spawn and it is finished.

We must decide we will continue going upward against the currents.  There are those currents that are demonic, we get them from people and obstacles in our flow.

We must see to be able to say a correct word in season to ourselves and others, in Jesus’ Name!

The Snare of the Fowler

I saw an eagle soaring way up high and as I watched, I noticed the eagle circling and finally diving down, headed to capture prey.

 

Vision:

I saw an eagle soaring way up high and as I watched, I noticed the eagle circling and finally diving down, headed to capture prey.

What the eagle didn’t know, was a plan was set in motion to capture that eagle.  There was set a snare of the fowler.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler,”   Psalm 91:1-4 KJV.

The most dangerous place for eagles is if they are earth bound.  Eagles are meant to remain in the high places soaring and nesting in high mountain crags and only earth bound for prey briefly.  There is a danger for eagles though.

One of the main tactics to capture an eagle is to set a trap with a net covered by brush with appealing bait in the middle.  The net is hidden from view around the trap site.

We beloved are to be like the eagle!  We must come to understand the tactic of the enemy.  The enemies goal is to keep us earth bound because that is the most vulnerable state to be in.

Why?  We are to be like the eagle!  We are to mount up on wings as eagles, to soar on the wind currents of HIS Word and to see with vision the panoramic view the LORD gives us when we soar.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint,”   Isaiah 40:31 KJV.

The enemy sets traps or snares of the fowler. His tactic is to catch men in his net.  The enemy plans way in advance as he covers the trap and net putting luring bait out for its banqueting.

However, what is happening behind the scenes is this, the enemy is really there for the believers enticement and destruction.

The secret of the fowler is that he adapts snares because he knows the eagle is well adaptable to knowing his bait; this is due to quickly adapting his snare to the condition of the eagle.

Believers!  The enemy knows our weak points.  Be well conditioned by God!

The enemy uses all sorts of decoys, deceit and craftiness to capture the bird.  Then once the eagle is caught, the enemy puts it in a cage for decoration to celebrate for all to gaze and revel like the Philistines did when they reveled at Samson’s capture,  (Judges 16:25 KJV).

The LORD wants us to know our enemies and their tactics.  Realize the enemy goes for the weak areas to entice and if we respond we might end up in a type of cage for all to see our mistakes and failures.

Vision:

I saw an eagle way up high, and then it came down to where it would circle, and I noticed this was no ordinary eagle.

The eagle looked like it was on fire!  The traps were set below by the enemy and they waited, yet this eagle looked extremely confident and had no doubts or fears.

The eagle swooped down at alarming speed and captured the prey and the net wrapped up, and it appeared they had caught the eagle, but this eagle was no ordinary eagle!

This eagle was on fire and it burnt up all the net that touched it and soon, with prey in claw, the eagle began to mount up again out of range of the enemy.

Beloved, this is but a healthy reminder to know your enemy and get prepared by spending quality time with the LORD through prayer, worship and HIS Word.

We are to be continually seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  By doing these things, it will prepare us for whatever comes.

We are not blind, but the enemy would like to damage your vision and destroy the things you do for God.

The enemy hates us and he is not playing games.  This is not the time to lay down your armour and weapons or to be lax in prayer and study of God’s Word.

If you find you are in such a place, put on some worship and begin to seek the LORD and watch how HE equips you to destroy the works of the devil!

“Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth,”   Psalm 124:6-8 KJV

“The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah,”   Psalm 140:5 KJV.
