It Is the Changing of the Guard!

I saw before my eyes a process that is known in computer language as defragmentation. This process took many hours.

 

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.  They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing,”   Psalm 65:11-13 KJV.

I saw before my eyes a process that is known in computer language as defragmentation.

This process took many hours.  Each program would fill in any gaps that would be open to make a solid line that looked like a brick wall, then the process would start over on the next level.  I noticed the amount of empty spaces and the LORD spoke to my heart about this.

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him,”   Daniel 2:21-22 KJV.

Just as the house of Saul has been judged and will continue to be, many gaps have been left open from those that I have removed.  Those who are faithful in little will be faithful with much says your God.

This is a year of transition, a year of placing and moving MY chosen ones into strategic positions by MY orders.  Think not MY beloved that this is in any way a demotion, but on the contrary a promotion.  The fragmentation of MY body shall come together by MY design and by MY orders says your God.

Many of you are already in place, but others come to possess the breech.  These will be tailor made wilderness, cave dweller people.  These will be younger, but with great wisdom for the authority they shall carry.

These shall be unlikely candidates in the eyes of man, but I shall change the events of regions, states and nations by these ones who have been kept hidden for such a time as this.

Many shall be transported to different locations this year in preparation for the changing of the guard.  My chosen ones shall be fully operational as they settle and put down roots and fortify and become strong.

I saw many forts going up as temporary shelters of safety.  Your season is over, says the LORD.  Make preparations!  I saw a wagon train, and banners that said “Jesus’ will or Bust.”  As you move I the LORD shall give you such witness and signs that you will know.

Trust not the voice of man, but trust MY voice and go with your gut instincts, for many well meaning people would say to you that you are in error.  Trust ME with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge ME as LORD and I will direct your path and make it straight.

This new beginning will include emotional, Spiritual and physical healing.  This is where things will really begin.  I will bring complete agreement with all those involved in your families and you shall see such interventions that will bring great joy to your souls.  All of these things will happen sooner than you think.

With this transition the LORD is calling you up higher.  Warning!  Do not take this lightly.  Satan will try to bring calamity and destruction before you leave, to discourage you not to go.

Do not heed these tactics, but continue to believe.  The design of these tactics are to get you to think this move is not from ME says your God.

These evil spirits say, Paul I know and Jesus I know, and they know you too and they recognize MY rank on you and are greatly afraid of you.  I AM bringing every crooked place straight and I AM taking care of everything, for it is MY plan says the LORD, and I AM in control.

For those whose object and purpose has been of a pure heart, I AM releasing provision for the vision.  This is a great year of prosperity for MY people who accomplish MY purposes.

The wealth of the wicked is being released to the faithful as they have been faithful in their giving and obedience to MY will.  You are coming into your heritage, and I shall justify and vindicate your life.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that wags, they shall step on their own words, for it is the path they choose.  This is your heritage!  Condemn those negative words.

Claim your heritage and your inheritance says the LORD!  Above all things MY beloved I pray that you may prosper, be in health even as your soul prospers!  Reach down deep inside and take that authority given to you and encourage yourself in the promises.

Take the limit off of your thinking and watch what I do, for this is your season MY faithful ones, to prosper.  I will provide for MY plan!  I ask you to prove ME says the LORD!

Provide a sacrificial offering where I show you.  The time has come.  I shall finance MY vision says the LORD!

I saw a hill from a far distance and all over this hill was sheep and lambs all separated and bleating like they were lost.

Sheep are flocking animals, and these were crying out for a true shepherd to protect them.  These sheep were scattered so far from each other they didn’t know where any of the others were.

The LORD has need of you somewhere else to bind up the sheep and lambs with this move.  The sheep and lambs are hurting and confused.

I shall stretch out MY arm as a torch and the sheep and lambs shall know MY voice.  They wait for your arrival, for the flock shall come together.  I hear the sound of sheep crying out for a true shepherd.  They are sick, weak, tired and lost.

I saw veteran soldiers, ones who have injury and missing limbs, some even with crutches and wheelchairs.  They fought a valiant fight, but were injured.  These people were outcast by the rest of the army because of their disabilities.

Thus says the LORD to you, don’t let the enemy intimidate you from the past mistakes and humiliations.

As far as MY body is concerned, I shall place some of the very rejects into high places of authority in MY army says the LORD, defects and all.

Much transitions, and it is not by your might or power but by MY SPIRIT says the LORD.  If they don’t receive you in one town, you will move on to another, for the whole earth shall be covered with the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea before MY return.

Continue to stir up the gifts, and realize you like a bee are pollinating and bringing much fertile pollen for new growth and change.

I say, IT IS THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD says the LORD.

Jumping Through Hoops

We must please God and not men.  God will always be first. Pride, legalism and demanding perfection comes from fleshly mindsets.

 

While I was in prayer I saw adolescent children outside playing jump rope.

One of the girls started jumping, and did so for some time and another girl joined her and then another.  Soon two girls were holding two end parts to two ropes and then they started to swing the ropes so that a person could jump in and keep within the various distances from each rope.

Soon there were teams of girls making it very difficult.  The girls that jumped could only do it for a short time as it became harder and they lost the fun or joy of it.  The leaders then, whisked them away without giving them any explanation or time to rest.

Yes the girls started off as children having exercise and fun and it turned from fun to disappointment.  These could not keep up with the goals being set in motion. As the team grew, those who became captains within the team began to add rules and constraints that kept the team in turmoil.

The tag team eventually couldn’t keep up with the demands either.  Many of them began to fall out.  The captains and powers that be, were intolerant of those who couldn’t meet the requirements.  It was no longer fun and something they did for the joy it brought.

I heard the phrase, “Jump through hoops” and God said, “Guard against, pride, being driven, legalism and blind submission.”

In Dictionary.com, the verb phrase “jump through hoops” means:

  1. To serve, obey, or accommodate someone without question, especially in a harried, frantic way: You had to jump through hoops to please that guy.
  2. To exert oneself mightily; strain: I had to jump through hoops to get you that job.

We must please God and not men.  God will always be first. Pride, legalism and demanding perfection comes from fleshly mindsets.

It happens subtly and in innocence.  First we start off trusting God but through the works of the flesh we evolve into depending on ourselves and others;  as we compare ourselves to others.

“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise,”   2 Corinthians.10:12 KJV.

If there were a way to be perfect we would not need to rely on the sacrifice of God’s dear son;  who is Christ son of the living God, and he finished the work once and for all!

If people would be honest they would admit that they can no longer keep up that pace of being driven.

Many will fall aside unable to keep up while the others judge, condemn and despise the fallen in their heart. Pride keeps a person from mentioning of it.  These don’t want the others to think they are not in step with the leaders agenda.

Being performance driven also causes disillusionment and a fall.  However, in reality, it is actually very good news for that believer when the revelation comes!

When a person comes to the end of self by running out of their own power, they become open to God’s power and purpose through the righteousness that only comes through faith in Christ alone.

These surrender!  These come face to face with the truth and revelation of God’s amazing Grace!

It is actually good news for our fallen comrade!  We meet them where they are. It is then that good Samaritans show up to pour in the oil and the wine (as the religious cross the road to avoid them).

God sends you a personal good Samaritan!  God sent you an outcast too, to teach you and to minister God’s amazing grace!  Wow huh?  His grace is so amazing!  Considered by the Jews to be outcast and half breeds, God sends you help from those who understand what it means to be rejected and hated.

Never forget where you came from or how you started.  Your testimony will reach so many who need to see your works in action by meeting their greatest need, just as they are, you go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in.

“And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in the oil and wine and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was a neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?  And he said, He that shewed mercy on him.  Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise,”   Luke 10:30-37 KJV.

Those who have been through life’s most hard, desperate and stinging experiences are the choicest counselors that God can use.

Being spiritually wore out also opens the door to so much confusion and disorder.  And what is worse, as you fall by the wayside, those you thought were for you now pass you up on the other side and say see ya!

NEVER put any confidence in man, even if it is in a friend.  God is to remain first in our lives.  As you watch others go upstream passing you by, say a prayer for them because these will eventually be tested and suffer burnout.

We cannot burn the candle at both ends.  We are created to host the presence of God on the throne of our hearts.  We yield our bodies unto Him and his word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

Hypocrisy knows no bounds and it is alive and well with those who trust in themselves.  Then as the course goes, being driven brings disillusionment and a fall.

It is sad though.  I have seen how the person hides the situation from others to attempt to keep up appearances, but they never ultimately will.

Being driven happens when we trust in our own self righteousness.  The strong man is pride.  It says “we must perform to be accepted by man’s standards.”  We become self righteous and when we neglect the righteousness that only comes from Christ there is no more sacrifice for sins.

We are to be forever centered on Christ’s finished work on Calvary.  God graces us to fullfil his work in the earth, but not all are graced to do it your way.  We each carry within us DNA spiritually and physically.

To be self righteous is to do works to make oneself seemingly righteousness without relying on the one who made us righteous who is Christ the redeemer!

To have balance and order in God, brings peace, hope and joy.  We are to serve the LORD with gladness!

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.  For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world,”   Hebrews 4:1-3 KJV.

Can we keep going at that level?

Were striving, being driven and performance driven, Why?

All of these issues wear you down to create burn out.  When we are preaching and practicing a performance based religion, people will begin to fall out or pretend they are doing what is being said but they really know the truth about themselves.

These give lip service but they know the truth.  These want to fit so bad they accept religious abuse.

My prayer for myself and others is that God will bring us to the end of self (righteous) and that HE will remove us from any abusive, religious bondage.

All works that are not done through God’s grace will eventually produce burnout. It will wear you out physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The 23rd Psalm shows us the picture of how our Chief Shepherd cares for his flock.  God is very concerned with his precious sheep and lambs.  Look at a sheep and lambs.

Can you imagine them being driven?  Cattle are driven.  Jesus is our chief shepherd he laid down his life for His sheep.

Sheep are gently led by the Shepherd and if one has strayed, the shepherd leaves the ninety nine and find the one to restore back to the fold. In the night seasons, the Shepherd will lead his flock to a sheep fold.

It is a rock enclosure where there is one entrance and the Chief Shepherd makes sure all of the sheep and lambs are in there.  Once the sheep and lambs are in the fold and cared for, the shepherd lays down his life at the entrance and guards the flock that no wild beast can gain access.

Sheep and lambs cannot be driven.  A godly shepherd is one who personally leads the flock to lush green pastures, still waters yes, and even makes them lay down, restoring their soul not driving them to insanity!

I thank God for his example to us of how true shepherds are.  Sheep are gently led, cattle are driven.

Many have no idea what’s it like to receive true encouragement from the LORD and his people.  Be careful who you receive from for all are not for you.

There is such aggression in the body, and it is all about who’s who and what is what, and who you know.

Instead, the gentle lead of the shepherd knows your name. It’s not about whose ordination and who you know. It’s about how he knows you!

When Christ is saying come away with me beloved, I want to hold you and comfort you. Man can minister to a certain point, but we must teach others that we each must have a deep relationship with the LORD in our own lives.

It is nice to have positive validation from those who know your life and the condition of our lives.  Our greatest ally is one who understands the life you live, sees the positive and negative parts of our own existence but choose to love, pray and accept our full self.

Beloved, that is unconditional love and the love I desire to give.

There is spiritual abuse in the body.  This affects our total being, and God doesn’t want us to accept that and it should not be tolerated.

In closing, anytime there is a course of corruption, God must bring a change in motion.  For those of you who have been analyzed by others; realize that rebellion and Jezebel spirits will try to revert to analyzing you because they know who you are and will try to intimidate you to shut up.

These spirits love to use Christian brothers and sisters to shake your faith and accuse you of all sorts of things in the name of Jesus.  You need to politely let them know that you are not in agreement with their words and do not receive them.

Saints, if you get addressed with such spirits, let them know they have no authority over you and that you are the beloved of God, in Jesus name.

Realize this!  The enemy knows who you are, and is desperately trying to shut you down.

May God shake us so much to change our motion to devotion to Christ the Messiah!  Forgive them, release them and let them go!  Amen?

Camp Fire vs Flames of Fire

What a Vein of Gold! God, we have loved your nuggets of Gold. Now we shall mine for deeper gold that is founded and mined in the dimensions.

 

What a Vein of Gold!  God, we have loved your nuggets of Gold.  Now we shall mine for deeper gold that is founded and mined in the dimensions.

Also to those who have been seasoned for such a time and place; not superficial strip mines, but this elevation is going deeper into the depths of God’s heart, spirit and mind, for HE has reserved His secrets to those who have been been made ready for this unfathomable presence, purpose and plan.

He himself has groomed them, as HE has prepared them for decades!

They will show up a seeming mess, but soon a message!  What things have been hidden, shall be opened and those I have known, as those who walk with God.

John the Baptist’s message was repentance!  There will be those who will wonder “where in the world have they come from!”

Those who have been prepared, shall walk and minister from a totally new dimension of grace!  They shall carry heavy weighty mantels, yet they will be full of light, peace, and they shall be full of laughter, as JOY overtakes them, even in persecution!

For the measure of grace comes with such dynamic revelations and they have totally yoked up with God.

In this time, God had predestined the sons of Issachar, knowing the signs of the times and seasons.

“There are those who shall be like one who watches the barometer that predict storms!  There are those who are watching the time of season.

These shall be greatly blessed as they will willingly open their area of influence to others as people are hungry and can sense what season this is.

These shall be so blessed with all things.  These beloved shall be blessed with the prophets blessing.

Even the birds of the air know the signs of the times, but My people do don’t.

I AM calling for repentance so that MY people can rightly be placed and revived. This transition will continue as I speak to the nations.

Fear not! abide in ME as I shall release MY word of repentance and glory as these build the structure for the great NETWORK!

No one can touch this or stop it beloved.  Unless these quit and follow the LORD no more.

BE silent before ME says the LORD!  I have caused your enemies to be at peace with you.  My grace has given you favor and these shall release many who are coming back to life again.  These shall build and tear down obstacles.”

Such revival comes beloved, as repentance precedes revival and revival precedes glory and glory shall open heaven to give demonstration of heaven on earth!

Through repentance the Holy Ghost releases those who are bound and these cannot help but come to God!  It is because of His great love!  HIS loving kindness leads up to repentance.

Because of the fiery one’s emerging, they begin to manifest in the glory and everything is wide open!

When the glory manifests it exposes everything in that place for they cannot do anything except run in terror!  It opens the eyes of the lost and backslider and they shall run to the altar.  Be prepared for harvest beloved!

For the LORD’s chosen, it shall be like nothing ever seen or understood before!  For those who are one foot in and the other out, you shall understand a final choice must be made.

Beloved it is time to completely get into the fire!  It is time to leave your place around the fire so that you become flames of fire!

Stay Plugged to Heaven

In this transition the LORD is cutting away things, people, dry branches, sucker shoots and realigning many in cyberspace and off the pages as well.

 

In this transition the LORD is cutting away things, people, dry branches, sucker shoots and realigning many in cyberspace and off the pages as well.

These emerging ones will take the WORD of our LORD Jesus to the world!  Don’t allow anything or anyone to use your words to twist and dilute your message of freedom and service to our LORD and King!

Give negative words NO place in your life!  Reject them where they stand and correct them!

As you correct the words in your presence they must bow their knee to Gods word . You have authority over your own house!  Don’t let them in.  Stay plugged in!

God is releasing you into incredible boldness, authority and the zeal of Gods house shall eat you up!

KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  You know your life, you have measured your life against the plumb line of Gods word.  You know Jesus!

Refuse to accept negative propaganda.  Don’t listen to lies.  Stay on the wall beloved of God!

The structure is being made Stand with a solid resolve and Be NOT moved from what the LORD has done in and through you!  It’s all for the harvest of souls so the net can carry and protect the harvest.

Everyone will not understand you or agree with you.  Don’t expect it, keep your peace.  Choose your battle’s carefully.  Every place your feet will go has been given unto you to possess.

Possess it by force.  “Not by might not by power but by my spirit.”

People will come and go with curses.  Especially Jezebel, Leviathan and witchcraft.

These all come in the guise of tradition and religion to threaten you and try to instill fear. FEAR NOT beloved!.

They will try to shake your resolve and intimidate you!  Give no place to the devil These wicked one’s are already planning to bring you down from your place of authority.  Walk in the Spirit and pray without ceasing beloved!  Remember who you are and whom you belong to.

You will see and hear a surge of words attack towards you especially from the former great move of God.  These did not continue and move with God.  They cannot control it and they have forfeited their set time.

Just know that all people cannot go with you.  Each must find their own path.  BE NOT MOVED!  YOU Keep eyes forward and don’t look back!

Move with God and remain steadfast.  Even in the midst of mess and accusations, you abide in the LORD!  You shall see and watch from a distance the enemy turning on himself in such frustration as he cannot get to you.

Hell hates you and hell will be made to watch My glory being displayed in the earth through MY pioneers.  Through My chosen. “Jesus I know, Paul I know but WHO are you!”

“When a man’s ways please the LORD he will even cause his enemies to be at peace with you””   Proverbs 16:7 KJV.

In the midst of mess you will be covered with peace and such REST of soul!  You shall learn how to walk and work in HIS REST.  Walking in the REST of God makes you untouchable in His presence.

 “Truly times of refreshing come from the presence of the LORD”   Acts 3:19 KJV.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the LORD,”   1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV.
