The Remnant Call to Stand

It is imperative that you must learn to understand this and to discern spirits in this new place and phase. It is also true that the enemy seeks to gain entrance in your lives using false motives.

Hear the Word of The LORD:

“You have entered a new place and phase in My purposes and you are unsure of many things.  There have been some that have been enlarged and elevated.  You have been concerned because it seems like many who you know, are not willing to go; It seems they have been cut off from your life.  You have even grieved over it.

Truly there are some who have pulled away themselves and some I have pulled away and I have removed.  It doesn’t necessarily mean the others are bad, it just means that not all can go with you.

It is imperative that you must learn to understand this and to discern spirits in this new place and phase.  It is also true that the enemy seeks to gain entrance in your lives using false motives.

Not everyone who says LORD, LORD is right with me.  There are many tares, goats and wolves among My people.  These can say all the right things even quote scriptures and seem like they are good, but I know the heart condition.  You must learn to discern and totally trust me,” says The LORD.

In these last days you must be willing to stand for The LORD and against tyranny.  We the people of God and those whom we associate with, must know those in whom we want to represent us.  The chasm is growing and no more gray areas.  We are to put no confidence in the flesh.  Seek God and put no trust in man.

It is dangerous when people do nothing and are not heard.  Had Germany stepped up to the plate and confronted Hitler, there may have never been a Nazi Germany.  Had Germany heard and acted on all the signs of danger, there may have never been that dictators war on the Jews and world.

“The remnant calling is becoming more narrow.  Don’t be unsure concerning numbers of people but rather have great joy that I have connected you with My agenda and purpose.  Do not connect yourselves to others for the sake of numbers, but be connected with Me by My Spirit,”  says The LORD.

How many of us would wait on God if our ministry were for one man?  The motive of counting sheep or numbers can get us tripped up.  The amount of people who are with you is not a indicator that they all are for you.

Jesus during his ministry for three years had the twelve disciples that knew him in an intimate way day by day.  What happened to the ones who were fed the five thousand, where did they all go?

Even in the end, who remained faithful to the bitter end?  Judas hung himself for his role and betrayal in capturing Jesus, for thirty pieces of silver.  Peter denied and rejected Jesus when the cock crowed.

Look at all the disciples that went running away during his Crucifixion.  Jesus poured himself out into his disciples for three years.  They were closely gathered in a small group they watched the miracles and the Lords actions and lifestyle.  (See Matthew 16).

Still today, we look at the numbers of people involved in so called Christian ministry and nothing has changed.  Many are called, few are chosen.  God gives every person the freedom of choice to choose yes and choose to say no.  God seeks those who willingly want to love him, worship and adore him.  These are those who love him and his presence.

There shall be a greater movement in America and other nations where groups of smaller groups will be visited by a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit.  It takes discipline to be a disciple.  And it takes much tribulation to walk out the God given office of Apostle and other offices.  These things are not easy. It will cost you everything.

“You cannot know a person unless you choose to get to know them.  It takes time to know those who labor among you.  Yes a quick work I AM doing in the earth, and I AM cutting it short because of righteousness sake.

You cannot hide your heads in the sand any longer.  For those who must take a stand for Me, must stay prepared; It will cost everything in your lives.  Persecution of My people is already happening in other nations.  Do you think I will simply pass by America?  Those who have been given much, much is required and you reap what you sow.

To those who can see; I am showing you clearly My remnant.  Do not connect yourselves to others out of pressure of mans agenda and popularity.  Wait upon me as I bring you into precious balance of one heart, mind and spirit.

It takes time to really know those among you.  You are noticing recently, that I AM making you very discerning.  Not just anyone can go with you into My agenda and path for your life.

My beloved is seen as living epistles seen and read of all men.  When you stand before others in My name, you have made yourselves readily known.  To live in Christ and to die is gain.  Anytime you take a stance for Me, you open yourselves up to religious and demonic persecution.

To My beloved, boundaries have been enlarged and elevated.  With your elevation, KNOW that you are hearing me clearly.  As you abide in me in relationship, you shall notice how well you hear from me.  You are stepping up to a higher place.  Yes, boundaries are larger and you can sense the openness of extensions;  with this comes more of My authority.

I AM entrusting those with more authority and power, a greater influence for good.  Don’t you discern it?  There are those who are in this new place trusting me with fervent heated conviction.

Can you tell the gentle breeze blowing through your hair as you notice walls have been removed outwardly from east and west?  However you need to know that there is more opposition and stay strong in Me” says The LORD.

“I AM redeeming the time as the days are evil.  A quick work will I do in the earth with those who open up to Me fully.

I have given you the power of influence.  Do you not realize as you have sought Me there have been those given a rock of offense?  Those who fall upon My rock shall be broken, but woe unto those whom the rock falls on, for they shall be crushed to powder.

Put no confidence in the flesh of yourselves or any man.  Commit yourselves to faithful men who will be able to teach others well.  It takes time to know a person.  This is not a shake and bake with the easy bake oven.  I AM elevating you to a place of maturity.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  Commit yourselves to faithful servants, and keep My secrets until the time.  Not everyone can understand your ways.

Be aware of those who seek recognition, who walk in pride and double mindedness.  Avoid those who are given to change and titles that wish to flatter you.  A flattering mouth works ruin,” says The LORD.

“Elijah was a man like you are, but ran away from Jezebel in fear of his life after such a total victory in Israel.  Elijah had to pull back and find his way as many of you are doing.

Elijah thought he was the only one left in Israel who loved ME, and I The LORD told him, that he had seven thousand that had not bowed to Baal.”  (See 1 Kings 19).

So in this time, many are hidden and coming into a new phase of ministry.  Elijah was told to leave the cave with orders from God.  Elijah was told to anoint and release Elisha to be prophet when Elijah died.

Some of you have thought you were all alone as Elijah, yet God has many that are faithful that are hidden and these will not bow their knee to any other god.

“But what saith the answer of God unto him?  I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal,”   Romans 11:4 KJV.

Vision:

I saw myself and a few others standing on a red rug.  All the sudden, the enemy took hold of the red rug and pulled it out from under us.

The enemies mission was to pull the red rug out from under us and cause a very hard fall.  Instead of us falling on the red rug, we stood standing even though the red rug was pulled out from under us, we remained steadfast and standing.

I heard this Word:  “For what satan meant for evil, God has chosen to turn it all around for good.”

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that thous has heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thous to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.  And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits,”   2 Timothy 2:1-6 KJV.

The Path That Opens to Takeover

When you meet a person with any of these spirits, look for the others. They will be there. The most obvious one that you have spiritually discerned through the gift of discerning of spirits may overshadow the others. But upon close observation you will see them all in operation.

Being self centered as opposed to Christ centered, creates in a person a spirit of pride, then comes an unteachable spirit, a spirit of control and a rebellious spirit.

When you meet a person with any of these spirits, look for the others.  They will be there.  The most obvious one that you have spiritually discerned through the gift of discerning of spirits may overshadow the others.  But upon close observation you will see them all in operation.

When a person becomes self-centered to the point of pride, and begins to manifest these spirits, it opens the door for the Jezebel spirit.  This brings about an abandonment of oneself to fleshly pleasures, drawing a person even further away from God.

The Jezebel spirit will then attempt to play prophet by its familiar spirits and really loves a true prophetic gift as long as it edifies, exhorts and comforts.

When a true prophet of God, who has been anointed by God to speak the mind of God, comes along and exposes this spirit, it will attempt to destroy the prophet by destroying their character, their credibility as a prophetic minister and then works on destroying the conscience of the prophet.

When a prophet’s character and credibility are destroyed, then the conscience is ripe for destruction.  At this point Jezebel then declares the true prophet to be a false prophet.

Many in the church will agree because they believed the lies about the prophet’s character and credibility as a prophetic minister.  The true prophet will begin to doubt his own character and credibility effecting their own conscience, bringing much confusion and destruction.

The Jezebel spirit thus establishes itself as a true prophet of God.  Jezebel exposes the true prophet as a false prophet and draws its followers even further into the pit of hell.

That’s why the gift of discerning of spirits is of such great importance in this day and hour.  And we establish the use of that gift as we continue to remain abiding in the presence of the LORD.

The Great Waves of Transition

These found grace in the wilderness for the eyes of the LORD go to and fro seeking out those whose heart is towards Him. Each wave is bringing to birth more souls. The very earth is in transition with each wave, bringing to birth the will of God in all the earth.

In Vision:   I see a great map and a great net being mended and formed, not only in America but around the world.

Also while in prayer I saw a person’s head and where their mouth was to be, was a zipper and also another person, whose mouth was stitched up, wherefore they were not able to speak.  Then the Spirit spoke these scriptures to me.

“Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.  But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them: And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.  But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them,  Thus saith the LORD GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house,”   Ezekiel 3:24-27 KJV.

“Many desire to shut the mouth of the prophets.  When I open their mouths they shall speak.  There are those who keep my prophets mouth zipped up, they don’t want to hear nothing unless it is to their liking.  

Then there are those in congregations that have given no voice to My prophets.  In the coming days, the true triumphant church will rise even in the midst of great upheavals and in war,”   says the LORD.

In Vision:   I see much war coming to the middle east and to the world.  I also see the draft being in place again in America.  There is much turmoil in the earth but God’s people will survive and in the midst of great persecution they will overcome;  some even unto death.

In Vision: I see a great door.  It was a beautiful, elaborate and decorated door, that is very tall and wide.

I saw many gathering from all different times and seasons in waves.  I saw the people ride the waves that came and they remained after the backlash.

These are the people prepared to go in once the door is opened.  These sensed the great timing of the LORD and stayed as close as possible to the door while still being moved with the great wave of obstacles that distorted the people.

These yet remained their integrity and stayed as close to the door as possible.  These that remained, received grace to conquer each great distortion the waves brought in.  There was much distortion in the place I see, and each great wave I saw that crested, brought in new people determined to remain gathered at that door.

These great wave after waves are great labor pains to bring in the will of God into all the earth.  I realized these that gathered had sold out totally, to remain steadfast to their groom.

Regardless of the tempest of the tsunami’s, these remnant souls remained. These were the gathering of the remnant; those whose lives are sold out to the will of God.

These found grace in the wilderness for the eyes of the LORD go to and fro seeking out those whose heart is towards Him.  Each wave is bringing to birth more souls.  The very earth is in transition with each wave, bringing to birth the will of God in all the earth.

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.  Who hath heard such a thing?  Who hath seen such things?  Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?  For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.  Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her,”
  Isaiah 66:7-10 KJV.

In vision, I saw a projector and film running like in a theater.  As I watched, I would see things ahead of time in fulfillment.

I heard the LORD speak:   “Daughter, I will show you My agenda before the time so you can prepare My people.

I also heard: If nations do not learn from their history, and haven’t learned from Israels history they are destined to repeat it all. The time is short, and those waves of transition to transition are designed to prepare My people for My coming.

I will shake the earth, land and sea.  Even the islands wait for My eruptions and quakes.”

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things?  Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?  or shall a nation be born at once?  for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.  Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her,”
  Isaiah 67:7-10 KJV.

“I will be revealing hearts and motives.  I reveal others motives and especially yours!  Those things you thought were hidden will be revealed quickly.  I will bring people close to you and you will know and see them for what they are.

Allow nothing to steal your devotion to Me.  Your time and purpose are revealed by Me says the LORD.”

In Vision:   I see a jute box with old records from the 1950’s.

“Many continue to refuse to see the signs of the times and choose to live their heads in ignorance.  Thinking they can avoid what is happening in the world if it is ignored.

If you don’t listen, it will come to your very door!  You won’t be prepared!  Don’t you realize I have sent My prophets to you for your own good?

They are pivotal in this hour, and indeed you better hear them.  You can pretend all is well in the world, and you can try to live in years gone by and remain there, but you can not and will not!

This is a time like no other and I AM and will continually be revealing My secrets to My servants the prophets.  These shall have end time strategies for My remnant.

Stop sleeping and awaken!  Those that love to slumber and sleep in this hour will wake up unprepared.  Do you sleep on the job?  I warn you to not go back to familiar ways and be lulled into complacency.”

“I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.  Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.  Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man,”   Proverbs 24:30-34 KJV.

“Make no hasty decisions or plans; Make sure you stand true to Me says the LORD!  Going back to the way things were no longer exists, unless you let it in your mind!   Those doors are shut and cannot be opened again.  There are much greater risks if you choose to get lazy, becoming lackadaisical.  Change your mind and repent!

Pull back from those who would try to gain influence for wrong reasons and pull away from anything and anyone that would keep you from pure devotion to me, says the LORD.

When your heart is overwhelmed let Me lead you to the Rock.  The rock of stability and the knowing that through it all, My foundation stands firm and sure.  There is true upheaval in the earth and persecution of My remnant but I give you strength to endure it all.

As you lift up your eyes to Me, know that I AM coming quickly.  You shall endure all things My beloved remnant.  Keep your eyes on Me, says the LORD!”

The Strategy of Preparation

Will you willingly lay down your life? Will you walk the steps that I have walked before you? My church shall be glorified and magnified and bring great Glory to My name! You shall persevere and endure as I give you the strength to overcome beloved. Have you counted the cost My beloved children?

My Word is reaching the uttermost parts of the earth and the sand in the hour glass is nearly spent.  I AM righteous and I tell you the truth, that there will be those who will suffer death rather than renounce the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O LORD, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”   Revelation 6:10-11 KJV.

Will you willingly lay down your life?  Will you walk the steps that I have walked before you?  My church shall be glorified and magnified and bring great Glory to My name!  You shall persevere and endure as I give you the strength to overcome beloved.  Have you counted the cost My beloved children?

As for those who touch My children:

It will be a fatal mistake when those touch My beloved, innocent children.  These only love, they only know small portions as I feed and take care of them.  Unless you become as a little child, you will not understand the simplicity of their total trust even in innocence and ignorance.

Issac willingly trusted his father Abraham during the preparation of the sacrifice; Issac being the son of promise.  Do you trust Me, beloved children?  Do you trust that you are mine?

Your face is always before Me! My children love and trust in total innocence.  For those who would harm My children, it is better that a man have a mill stone around his neck and cast into the sea than to touch My beloved, innocent children says the LORD.

What shall I say about this generation?  You must surrender your idols that you have placed before Me says the LORD.  Then I will prepare you and you won’t be surprised as I intervene to prepare you for what’s to come.

You hide because of fear, you deny because you don’t believe My Word that testifies of the things coming on the earth.  You denounce My prophets, because you don’t want to hear the truth.  I AM faithful and I will do My promises.  Woe be unto you if you are not prepared!

One day they will want to hear!  One day they will desperately desire to hear and seek out the truth! My truth bearers are not just light bearers, the truth prevails over everything.  My Word is far above every name.  Heaven and earth will pass away but My Word will never pass away.

This is a time like no other in the history of man.  I AM faithful, just and a righteous Judge.  If I were not, I would not warn you of danger and perilous times ahead.  You think to hide, avoid and forget that I warn you.  I warn you because of My everlasting Love towards you.

Why forget that through My loving kindness I lead you to repentance?  Shall not the Judge of the whole world do right?  I prepare My children in advance so they will be ready for what is to come.  My Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light to your path.  The darkness has pressed into the very core of My Children and it’s aim is to attempt to put out the light of My innocent ones.  The darkness shall not prevail.

In the coming days you shall walk to places you have no desire to go, and you will seemingly have no choice.  However, remember!  I have gone before you and I will be with you even until the end of the age.  Some shall even lay down their lives to be tortured and martyred as a testimony.  If it were not true I would not tell you.

I AM keeping My secrets until the appointed time and I will reveal them to My children. Know that I AM with you and I will not forsake you.  I AM releasing secrets and end-time strategies to those innocent ones.  I will warn My remnant and guide them with an internal strategic map, and in the midst of deceit and guile, they shall slip through the fingers of the established order.  I have Always had a people and I still do.

The Cosmos declares My handy work!  Stars falling and light breaking shall not miss their season.  The whole world rests upon My goodness and mercy.  Even a wisp of My wave shall cause upset to the normal flow and balance of things.

I AM the creator of all things!  Is anything to hard for me?  Is not the power in My hand to declare and decree?  All of My creation declares I exists.  And you still don’t believe?  You said you loved Me yet you consider Me a powerless ghost?

I hold the balance in My hand and as the world quakes, shakes and rumbles; with storms of great magnitude you have nothing to fear.  Find Me in the secret place and surrender and make peace with Me.  Yes make peace with Me.  For whether it be in death or life or the life to come, you are in My hand.  Fear not the coming upheavals, I AM preparing the way.

Make a resolution to stand and be counted, for they shall know that I love you, says the LORD!

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock,”  Psalms 27:4-5 KJV.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever,”   Psalms 23:6 KJV.
