Recognizing the Prophet

We need to know what the office of REAL PROPHET is and they will be needed for guidance during blinding circumstances coming to America and the world.

We need to know what the office of REAL PROPHET is and they will be needed for guidance during blinding circumstances coming to America and the world.

You won’t know a true prophet for what they wear, eat or drink, contrary they will not be known for their charisma.  They will be well known by God and shy away from people trying to elevate them.  You will see them weeping in the midst of meetings completely different from the rest who are auctioning for money, “if you give a thousand – God will give you a Rolex.”

You will see them weep and pray as they watch pulpiteers taking the glory that only belongs to God and puffing up a person for their accomplishments.  You will see these weep as they walk out of meetings in the middle of what is seemingly important and the Spirit of God will be with them.  The spirit will weep through them and grieved by the sin in the camp.  They will oppose the meeting and give glory to God by WALKING OUT and not listening to gain sayers.

Those pseudo ministers inside, will be lead by familiar spirits that are anointed by satan.  YES, there will be an anointing. and that is the most confusing portion to people, as they want to believe the best when God is grieved with the whole lot.  People will say, “What a meeting!  Did you see minister so and so do that?”  Only God gets the glory and I warn you, if you see or hear ministers glorifying anything other than God, get OUT!  The Spirit of God does not contradict the WORD.  Please read and pray and bless those who sacrifice for your souls.

When a prophet shows up, the man or woman doesn’t have to say a word.  The demons will recognize a prophet long before people will, and will seek to silence them.

Do NOT, I repeat  DO NOT stand in the way of God’s will, for even in compassion, we can get into trouble.  Stand back and watch what the Lord will do.

People think it is mean to have to confront sin.  God thinks if sin isn’t dealt with, the ministry will be ruined and souls left for satan.  IF the five fold ministry was not allowed to operate, there are holes and avenues where the enemy keeps his strong holds.

Pray for the prophets and all the leadership as God is sweeping his house, refining over and over his ministers and burning the chaff and uprooting what tree will not produce good fruits.  This season God will lay the axe at the root of the tree.

It hasn’t been a easy process, but God has to break off all constraints that would hinder the prophet from speaking thus say the Lord.  Believe me, you can be standing in the midst of people you love, and have to deliver a word and YOU KNOW it is GOD, and the Lord gives that prophet confidence and often the confidence is misread as pride, cockiness, haughtiness, when in fact it is confidence to face those who oppose Gods will without flinching, and to stand in a whole group, and you, seemingly being the only one who is seeing it.  Jezebel makes sure to remind a prophet how alone they SEEM and how much they suffer to shake the faith of the prophet.

God does give the mature prophet assurance in mind and heart.  Yet the entire relationship with Christ is what the prophet lives for.  Remember to pray for those who walk in this place and if you know a real prophet, be a blessing to them.  Pray for them.  They get enough negativity and hell they walk through, yet God gets them to a place where there is no fear of man, only the pure fear and reverence of the Lord.

The mature prophet knows that he or she knows what they carry is right, and the strength to carry the word is powerful on them.  However, the true prophet has been so broken, they not only don’t want to do it, but don’t want to be seen, for it never fails that anointing will arise, if sin is in the camp.  I have seen it happen over and over.

The prophet doesn’t enjoy having to face adversity.  They are every bit as human as the next person, but they cannot love man over God.  That is a true living statement.  A true prophet, will want no profit or glory.  They only seek to give glory to God and be hidden in the Lord’s breast, to hear his heart beat.

True mature prophets are so broken and humble, they avoid all flattery and people trying to lift them up.  There is no profit in being a prophet except the closeness to the Lord and knowing that the Lord will be glorified.  These have given up everything, and are willing to give everything else if asked, because nothing will hold them or restrain them except the Spirit of the Lord.

It is not glamour and glitz, but on the contrary, humility and death to anything in life.  Don’t be surprised if a true prophet shows up in camel hair and eating crunchy crickets and wild honey.  Some are wild and they provoke an action to reaction to get to the heart issue.  Why would God provoke a heart to action to reaction?  It isn’t because God doesn’t know their heart, it is because God wants THEM to see their own hearts.  Big difference.

Remember when Elijah had to go to King Ahab?  He met him on the road and the king asked, “Have you come to trouble Israel?”  So we see that prophets facing leaders of all sorts and the devil uses a mirroring technique to try to shake the prophets will to obey.  They try to make the prophet think they are confused, like Jezebel did, and still does in churches today.

Elijah was anointed with a message to the gods of Israel.  “I have not come to trouble Israel but YOU king Ahab.”  As you read this, apply it and pray and bless those you know who walk in this office.

God will bless you.  Remember to let the writer know you are encouraged by the word from the Lord.  For it comes to help build you up into maturity.  To bless a prophet is to be blessed and to curse one is to curse God.

May God keep you conditioned to receive from whatever vessel HE chooses.

Godly Motives

We have entered a new realm in the Spirit, the higher we soar, the less want to go. Sacrifice is a bad word to them. They want the title and status, but unwilling to pay the price. Only a few will go with you, if any.

We have entered a new realm in the Spirit, the higher we soar, the less want to go.  Sacrifice is a bad word to them.  They want the title and status, but unwilling to pay the price.  Only a few will go with you, if any.  

However, there are eagles preparing their nests, and also releasing some with feathers to go.  Only those chosen will be willing to go.

Did you know you have to choose to be chosen?  Will you pay the price?  Some have thought that God does all the choosing.  HE gives us the choice to be chosen.

Will you, by choice, be willing to go through the trials, suffering, accountability, responsibility, correction, praying, studying, and more?

There are those among us that see our seemingly success, but are not aware of what it took you to get there.  These want what you have and act like they really want it.

If you continue to ask God to discern hearts, after awhile you will begin to see a chink in their deceptive armour.  You see character issues peek out in view.  Integrity, honesty, loyalty, to name a few, are some MAJOR character flaws.  These especially, must be mastered for the true servant of God.

These fakes, if truly known, they have no prayer life or give time to study God’s word.  They see what seems to them as glamour, glitz, and success.  So instead of paying the price and the time involved, they simply begin to ride on your anointing.

They see this as the easy way out.  They depend on the ministers gifts and mimic things they do.  They believe it doesn’t take all that suffering and stuff to get to the goal.  They are self deluded.

A good illustration: When you travel on the interstate, you can gain a lot of speed.  Those big eighteen-wheeled 10/4 good ole buddy rigs pass you by, and as he passes by, there is a suction that pulls you along.  You can get behind a big rig like that and follow them closely and be pulled along in that air trail suction with them.  You go the same speed and get to the same destination.  However, the vehicle behind benefits in getting better gas mileage, due to the suction!

I call these type of people, suckers.  They suck the life flow of the ministers, and suck the vibrant life out of the the saints.  Leader’s cannot allow this to go on.

There are people like that among us, who are jealous and envious who want what we have, and expect to ride along with us as long as it takes.  They think if they are around you long enough they will eventually acquire your gifts and place.  There is a price to pay for God’s anointing.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our LORD Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings….,”   1 Timothy 6:3-4.

These people who have wrong motives are among us, beloved.  Personally, I have seen this happen several times and it always results in division and splits.  They want the preeminence, and like satan’s motive, to be like God, they want to be in charge in any authoritative position.

To handle things properly within the true church of God, there is order and submission to godly authority.  That’s WISDOM!

Not everyone is a five fold minister and there are sheep, lambs, goats, wolves, and false prophets, false apostles, on down to false believers.  Open rebuke is better than hidden love.  Godly love confronts, rebukes, corrects etc.  Why?  To Love the flock and protect the true sheep, lambs and the vision.

God is a God of order, and within Biblical boundaries I see this order clearly.  It isn’t some man-made religious order that is out of balance.  When there is bondage, there is a religious spirit at work.

With true servants, they must make themselves accountable and responsible to authority.  Lay hand’s suddenly on no man.  Time does tell all.  The process of time and waiting will weed out a lot, but there are some, how ever long it takes, they play the game.

What is sad is that these souls are truly self-deluded.  I would say that 98% of the people don’t realize they are self deluded.  However, I do know for a fact that satanist do infiltrate churches to take over and destroy them, and this there are some very hurt and abused people out there, who have been made, the way they are.

However, we cannot allow their delusions to have their way.  Once confronted, they can be delivered, and helped if they are repentive and truly surrender to God’s plan for things.  However, the true servant of God must be disciplined, discipled and trained for ministry.

“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.

We must have a balanced view of things in the Church.  The enemy wants into leadership and into our circle of laborers.  He wants into our circle of warriors.  We must be vigilant, watch and pray, be above reproach, professional, articulate and not slack.  Bottom line….WE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT.

What we have is precious and we paid for it dearly.  God is speaking this clearly and seriously.  I understand prayer partners.  I understand corporate prayers and fasting, but if there are people, or a person, who has invaded your life to the point when you don’t have your ALONE time with God anymore…. Watch out!  Jezebel got ya.

Once she destroys you and your ministry, she leaves you for dead and to the wolves, as she scatters the flock.  We need to knock that spirit out the window and let the dogs eat her nasty carcass.

We need to find that place again in God, where HE is your only Love…. FIRST LOVE.  NO ONE takes that place.

Take time, not make time, to sit with HIM in innocence with child like faith, but get empowered and mad to take Gods wrath to where the battle is….,the enemy!

Many of you have had trouble waiting on God.  You can’t just sit there, because a hundred things are going through your mind that you have to do.  You have a mind with so many care’s.  As you flee away, the LORD sigh’s, “Please don’t leave, please stay.”

If you are too busy with cares, too busy with ministry works, too busy to pray, you are too busy and you have lost your first love affair with Jesus our groom.  He want’s to restore your innocence and love.  He wants to heal you of ministry failures and of falling prey to Jezebel and other issue’s.

His timing is critical.  He wants you to cry out, “I want you LORD, in charge of my life!”  Oh how HE wants to renew HIS love affair with you in pure transparent glory…..  Selah

Discerning Words

God wants to take us back from the failure’s of life to fix the outcome. Failure’s can end up causing divisions unless they are dealt with.

God wants to take us back from the failure’s of life to fix the outcome.  Failure’s can end up causing divisions unless they are dealt with.  

We must be healed of former times to enter the new time.  This is because we want to bring freedom to the captives; our brethren and the lost.  God wants us to have that expected end.

Our deep foundation must be mastered as detour’s are actually set backs to set us up for our destiny.  It’s wonderful being on top of the mountain but our greatest maturity comes from the valley of decisions.

God will take you farther than you could ever imagine, as your surrender to Him and His process.  You shall flourish.  Keep moving forward even through all of the seemingly detours, turns, twists and the desire to quit.  When God is at work in your lives, He never misses a thing.  Nothing about your life is wasted.  Let the Word quit never be a Word for the rest of your life.

There are no short cuts, not paying dues in going forward with God.  It will require you to pick up your cross and follow Him daily.

It is best to learn to be quiet.  Be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.  If you continually speak and fail to spend time with God you will do so much damage, like a bull in a china shop.

A person is known by the words they speak and the actions of their lives.

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil,”   Hebrews 5:14.

I have seen such a spirit of competition, those who want to rise to the top without having the proper training and growth.

“For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?  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 3:5-7.

All of these things beloved are so important to have working within us.  It takes time to know someone and to be in union with them.  Learning to listen what words are said will show us the condition of the heart.  Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

In my own life I have found that the LORD allows me to be provoked, to a reaction, to action.  It is not that the LORD doesn’t know me, it is that God knows our heart and wants us to see what is there in ourselves.  I know personally that having issues surface, shows me that I need a lot of help from the LORD to continue to be like him.

God even provoked Israel to jealousy.

“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?  God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.  Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world,and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?  For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office; If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them,”   Romans 11:11-14.

There are those who are stealing words for fleshly benefit.  It is witchcraft, manipulation, control to gain popular approval.  Indeed it is false.

To those that I love I rebuke says the LORD.

King Saul took upon himself to do the sacrifice that only Samuel was to do as prophet.  Saul was moved by the people instead of obeying God and for that lost his position.

Wait on the LORD and refuse to speak for him until you know for sure.  There are many voices out there but to hear the voice of God one must seek Him and have a relationship with HIM.

Are we trustworthy with authority?  Is it popular when God wants us to weep between the porch and the altar?  It will cost everything to serve God.

He shows us areas of error as we are provoked, to reaction, to action.  To teach us and prepare us for maturity. Even when we are mature, we all have much to learn.  The LORD wants us to change and be more like HIM.

We must learn to cooperate with the process.  You want true authority?  It will cost you everything.

As we mature and allow HIM to become flesh in us, It is what refines and defines us that lets us know when we are ready.

Correction is a good word…  may we never forget it.

Uncovering and Clearing Ground

There are those, spread over far distances and hills, like sheep and lambs, all separated and bleating, like they are lost. They cry out for the shepherd to protect them.

There are those, spread over far distances and hills, like sheep and lambs, all separated and bleating, like they are lost.  They cry out for the shepherd to protect them.

These sheep are scattered so far from each other, they didn’t know where their own kind are.  Many are rejects and unloved.  The sheep are hurting, confused, sick, weak, tired and lost.  They wait for your arrival, for the flock shall come together.

“My sheep hear My voice and the voice of the stranger they will not follow,”  see John 10.

There are other veteran soldiers, those who have injuries, missing limbs, who fought a valiant fight and still do, fight the fight.  These are outcast by the world and even in Christendom, because of their disabilities.

“Thus say the LORD to you, don’t let the enemy intimidate you from past mistakes, humiliations and disabilities.  As far as My body is concerned, I shall place some of My very rejects into high places of authority in My army; defects and all.”

God takes the foolish to confound the wise and He especially likes to use the rejects, those with disabilities, humiliations and those whom you would never think of, because of tainted pasts and defects.

What the LORD wants us to focus on; as the increase of the purity of the Bride comes to her final glorious hour; many, may not understand.

However, He is moving and sounding the alarm, that this is the time at hand.  God is heavily alerting those who are called to Travail, Intercede and War.

Intercessors have always been known as a strange lot, but God is going to give such detailed information to HIS prophets, warriors and intercessors that has not yet been revealed for such a time.

“MY intercessors and prophets will deepen in my press and I shall reveal how to combat ancient spirits that are deeply rooted in many cultures.”

The ground must be cleansed before it can be plowed and cultivated.

Many cultures are held captive by ancient spirits which are on the warpath against anyone who dares to tread on their pseudo territory.  The Kingdom suffers violence, but the violent take it by force.

The people must be taught how to maintain their own deliverance and the lands deliverance.  Ground gained must be maintained.

We need to know these things so when revival comes, and the fruit it brings, it will stay.  It’s all about souls for the kingdom and establishing his reign on the earth.

Yes, we need to be aware of our regions, locales and such, but it is all for cleansing the land.  We do not need to explore the depths of satan, but we need to explore the depths of God’s Spirit, and then He will tell you everything that you need to know about the enemy.

So in all our learning, know who you are, know warfare, discernment and travail.

All of these things come directly from our time spent in intimacy with the LORD.  He will train us to war and we won’t fail.

Christ has already won the war for the souls of man kind, but there are many battles in a war and each with it’s own agenda.  This is the walk of a warrior Bride and now He says, it is time to equip and prepare My people.

The fields are white for harvest and the sheep and lambs need tending.  Walk on beloved, walk on!
