The Urgency of the Quest

I miss our times of innocence romping through the fields and flowers beloved. Oh how I desire to spend intimacy with those that love and choose Me

“I have set before you an open door.  Why do you stand between and betwixt?  Do not fear where I AM taking you.  No man will be able to stop you unless you let them.  You have but little strength but I AM showing myself strong against those who are your enemies.

As you have said, “I have no strength to do this” yet you shall be victorious, you have kept my word and haven’t denied my name.  Those who have pretended to be My people and lie, they will know that I love thee.

I have sought for you in our secret place.  Where is the intimacy, the time you once could not wait for?  I AM jealous and I miss our quality time.  You must plan as your enemy will try to hinder that time.

In that place of intimacy you know My heart and mind.  In that place I abide with you and I speak secrets and share things to those who are fully given unto me.

Trust is a big issue.  How can I trust you to minister to others when you haven’t been there for me?  You must TAKE time, not make time.  You must plan and not let anyone or anything keep you from your beloved.  Guard and keep our relationship as the most important part of your life.

I created you for My pleasure, for my purposes.  I desire to walk with you in the cool of the day.  I have emotions just as you, and my feelings are hurt when you walk away from me. You go everywhere else except coming to me.

Keep me as the lover of your soul.  My heart breaks when I see there is no time for me.  Yes, I AM eternal God, but you are my finest and best creation.  I did not lie or beg you to come with Me.  You accepted my free gift.  Why now do you crowd me out of your lives and business?  Why don’t you respect My boundaries?  Why do you idolize your phones and friends?

I miss our times of innocence romping through the fields and flowers beloved.  Oh how I desire to spend intimacy with those that love and choose Me.

From that deep relationship in Me comes the overflow you want.  As you choose to know Me in a deeper way, My nature and character will spring up like an artesian well.  In your life, no one can truly know Me unless they see my evidence in you.  Beloved, the two become one is a mystery, but it shouldn’t be a mystery with you.

Are you ashamed to let others know your busy, when they want your time?  Do you love me and spend time with ME?  I chose to limit myself in the lives of My people as they know My Word and learn about me.  It doesn’t take long once you truly know a person to see what they are after.  Pull away My love, pull away!

Learn to respect My boundaries and others.

Can you wait one hour?  You walk around and get side tracked!  I AM here to be your lover, friend and I want to share secrets and just know you!

I see how prayer with Me has changed into another thing.  You use to trust Me and now you depend on each other, instead of coming before Me yourself.  Even prayer meetings can be turned into an idol when you no longer depend on your own personal intimate time with Me,”  says the LORD.

“Why do I have to continually remind you to come closer?  Yes, I want you to be child like, however there are times I want to share deep things with those whom I trust.  I shouldn’t have to ask.

You must practice My presence.  Queen Esther practiced the Kings presence and was honored and because of her obedience to her King, she saved all of Israel.

You have been held back for this particular season and hidden.  I see your frustrations.  I know you see others moving on a different path and wonder why your way is hidden.  You have been held back seemingly forever, however I have saved you as a weapon in My arsenal for My time.  Take no offenses, for this is My purpose and plan.  Take no offenses of those who are no longer part of your particular path.

There are those pockets of people coming out of hiding and coming from such heartache however, these have learned, to die is to live.  Jealousy is not a threat to these as I have refined them through time and by skimming off the lee’s.

There will be select ones who will be able to change and scale various levels of the mountain of the LORD at will.  These will have a global view and able to meet and understand people where they are at.  Bless these beloved, the cost and the loss many can never comprehend Yes, plus these know the urgency of the quest.”

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know they works; behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  Behold, I come quickly: hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon him my new name.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches,”   Revelation 3:7-13 KJV.

Guarding the Gift and the Giver

I saw such a precious vision: I see the LORD taking the hand of his children and as they walk they look up to Jesus with such a smile, innocence and wonderment in their eyes

Come unto me and know that you can trust me.  Don’t you know that I AM rooting for you! 

I AM encouraging you to continue the race set before you!  I AM for you not against you.

There is no boxing in My Kingdom.  You won’t fit in boxes, nor fight in those boxes.  You cannot box me in with your view of things.  Nor will I allow you to fight one another divisively.  I will make sure you don’t.  Lay down the religion and traditions you hold dear and seek Me and live!

I do not manifest myself to all people the same way.  Nor manifest to others the way I do with you.  I prepare people through time in the furnace of afflictions.  Live up to what you have attained in Me.  For that is what you are held accountable for.

There are those like Paul, who in his religious mindset, thought by killing Christians he was helping Me, says the LORD.  Had it not been according to his ignorance he could have been held accountable for all those he killed.  I declared to him and others after his conversion that he was a chosen vessel unto me to bear My Name and that he would suffer greatly for My name sake.

To each one is given the measure of grace for gift.  I cannot manifest Myself to everyone the same, for each gift has instructions and requirements that not all can handle or understand.  Remember My children, I have known you from before the very foundation of the world.  Being accountable and responsible for those gifts, requires My grace.

Not everyone will walk with you due to My purpose and plan.  Quit trying to fit into religious boxes.  I have released end-time strategy into those chosen to receive it.  There are only certain people I can trust with My secrets, presence by My grace.  Had they not been prepared in the furnace of affliction or in the wilderness and caves, they would be lifted up with pride and fall.

I prepare My vessels over and over to be able to carry My glory.  The vessel is empty without Me.  These that are prepared to show forth My glory, shall host My presence as they welcome all into My presence and plan.

Not all have the gifts of prophecy and not all function as the lungs or heart of the body.  Yes, many are hidden from view, but these are just as needed and more so! The body must function in union.  There are outward gifts that all can see, but it doesn’t mean they are greater.

In fact they are lessor, for they decrease and I increase.  No one thinks about the blood in the body.  It is like a river that goes into all places to nourish the parts of the body they are sent too.  Many are like that blood.  These carry nutrition and spread the messages and purposes linking together the whole body.  They connect and are hidden, but their purposes are vital to the working of MY whole body.

Understand and don’t be frustrated that others won’t seek Me the way you do.  Also don’t be frustrated when they are lead in a different way.  You cannot expect everyone to understand you.  Each part will understand their own way as I reveal their anointing to others of like mind.

I have given to each in the body, My grace according to the measure of My gift.  Do not lump everyone into your own experiences.  Let them alone as they function in My name.  These are My vessels of honor fit for My use, not your use.

Not all are prophets, lungs or blood in the body.  Not all have the same function.  Don’t measure or pressure them to put on your gift and mantle.  They belong to me not you.  Those gifts that are outward, public ministry must decrease.

Yes there are some even outwardly that need to be covered with clothing as they are naked before me.  You shall be naked and transparent and not afraid, says the LORD.

Those that are hidden parts of My body are more needful.  Not everyone can do what you do.  Don’t judge according to your experiences.  You do what I give you.  If people demand you to follow them, don’t!

If there are those who trouble you saying that you don’t meet their requirements.  LISTEN to ME says the LORD.  I gather those of like heart mind and Spirit together all over the world.  These are the parts of the body that fit together.

I came to My own and My own knew Me not.  They made my house a den of thieves and corrupted man and proselytizes them to be worse than they are.  I looked over Jerusalem and wept for My city.  They did not recognize Me as you must do also.

Yes, weep for them and move on.  They don’t recognize Me through you.  Move on to where the highways and byways take you.  Go outside of the box of religion and traditions and go to where the people are!  You are to function in what I gave you!  You are so important to Me beloved.

I saw such a precious vision: I see the LORD taking the hand of his children and as they walk they look up to Jesus with such a smile, innocence and wonderment in their eyes.  They are enjoying and listening to Jesus.

As the seasons change in life, My love will remain.  I will never let you go.  Be child like, be like a little child with Me.  Kings still have daughters and they are precious and will inherit their portion.

Your history precedes you and others may know your past, however, I have chosen to wipe it all away.  Man may reject you, but look to Me!  I will never reject you beloved of God!  If all men turn against you, be confident!  I AM here and will never leave you or forsake you My beloved children.

Why do you compare yourselves among yourselves? I see how you try to fit in. You are unique and precious. Don’t play the games, “who can top this!” This is not a game or a worldly way I do things.

To be great, you become a servant.  The first shall be last the last shall be first. Yes, do glean from others fields of ministry and learn from them.  I will send them to you, but understand not all will go or be with you permanently.  When you learn the lessons from them, I will move you on to others.  Each has their own relationship with Me and accountable to me for it.

The time at hand is serious!  The clock is chiming to be ready to go.  Even the birds of the air know the signs of the times but My people do not.  My people need to be readied.
There will be those that say in that day: “LORD, LORD haven’t we prophesied in thy name and done mighty works in they name and I will say to them depart from Me ye that work iniquity.”

The Levites portion is the LORD and his temple.  These eat and are provided for as they minister about the temple.  Please do not go through the motions.  The time is at hand and many are still not ready.  Prepare the people to know Me and show them I AM the way, the truth and the life.

Hear what I say beloved; I want you in intimacy in the Kings bed chamber.  You must guard our intimate time and not share our secrets.  Why have you invited people into that sacred place with Me?

I want you there alone beloved.  My bed is undefiled and pure.  How can you be intimate when there are people all around that have invaded our intimate space?

This sacred place is pure and I will have you there and speak secrets to only you.  I will not share you with anyone else.  I AM a jealous God.  Don’t let anyone into that private personal intimate place with Me.

You have given place to people even letting them come into our bedchamber.  Beloved come away with ME.  You have allowed others to have a say that has brought division between us.  These things disrespect and desecrate our time of intimacy.

How can you become impregnated with vision if others are desecrating our intimacy?  For to desecrate is to treat My sacred place with disrespect and violate our communion alone.

Put no trust and guard against voices that would try to desecrate our intimacy and never let them into that sacred, secret place again, says the LORD.

See also Luke 23 and Ephesians 4.

The Ring of Fire Is Rising

The LORD impressed to me that like the sand moves faster toward the bottom of the hour glass, so have things escalated and will continue

VISION:

I see a ring of people going around the world.  Each hand in hand creating a great ring of unity.

From all walks of life, in nations, tribes and tongues, all were taking the hand of the other.  These connections are hand to hand in union and in sequence with the other.  Though not realized, they are the portion of the fulfillment of Gods Word in the earth.  When looked back upon, many will understand.  Yes, and those who read this shall have the revelation of it.

I heard people singing and a great noise but no one could understand the words.  It sounded like the shouts of a great army in battle array and also sounds like many waters, voice of thunders and the clash of the lightening.  I heard; “This is the voice of the bride as she rises in the whole earth.”

VISION:  

While in prayer I saw an hour glass.  The LORD impressed to me that like the sand moves faster toward the bottom of the hour glass, so have things escalated and will continue until they be no more.

As I was watching, I saw the hour glass when the sand was about spent.  I felt such and urgency to warn and prepare Gods people with truth.  It is the time to fall in place, get in line and stay ready.

I also saw many new doors opening and closing very quickly for the time is short.  God has escalated our timing and purposes.  We must move quickly when the cloud of HIS Glory moves, for a quick work He is doing in the earth.  God has equipped us with all we need and equipped us for the task and march ahead.  We were chosen for such a time as this.  We are that generation of fulfillment.

“In time and in sequence the world shall show signs of being smitten and tilted off its axis.  Such continued signs and wonders shall follow the patterns of My people as well.

I Am using changes in the patterns of weather, to the earth, sky and sea.  You shall see a great ring of fire on the earth, as My people display My fire in the earth.

All the planets will move in unison as the earth moves in sequence to her maker.  This is according to the divine plan that I have spoken.  The signs in the heaven’s will continually be seen as all heaven’s declare My righteous deeds.

The earth will reel back and forth, revealing the manifested sons of the Living God even in the midst of great upheavals; some the world has never seen and will never see again.  

The greatest time lies ahead; press into the winds, the quakes, fires and floods;  You are My witnesses and in this is your purpose, says the LORD of Host!”

“Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened,”   Romans 1:19-21 KJV.

God’s Word for Inertia

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in. They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

While I prayed I heard the word “Inertia” and I had no idea what it meant.  I looked it up.

Inertia means: 1: Property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
2: Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change: idleness, lazy, with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness, slothfulness.  A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.  © thefreedictionary.com

The LORD revealed some things through this word definition that is effective now concerning the Church and the timing we are in.  I believe we need to know and understand where we fit in our stance with eternity.

There is a very real resistance to moving forward with God today in the churches.  The people are idle (even in spirit filled churches) with no regard to changing and becoming Christ like.  Many have no concept of the cost of discipleship and teaching about suffering for our stance in Christ.

These are sluggish, slothful, and don’t want things to change.  To these who don’t want to rock the boat; they substitute programs, wanting instead a social, status gathering or club, in which Christ has no part in.  These also are using the church for merchandising.  These have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, from such we are warned to turn away.

I see nothing in scripture that calls for such programs or teachings that encourage others to do nothing and remain unchanged.  I found that Jesus entered the temple and turned over the money changers tables in anger, stating My house is a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves,   Matthew 21:13.

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in.  They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

Start talking about holiness and watch the people start calling you a legalist or worse, a false prophet.  However, when asked about scripture, many have no idea what they believe or where to find it.

There is a tendency to go with the “herd mentality” and many in this system who are truly saved get stuck in a miry pit or run over.  It takes the LORD’s people to pray and remove them from the pit of destruction through intercession.  Shepherds gently lead their flocks, but herds are driven.

The Church has an existing state of rest or motion that will continue on it’s path of destruction unless that state is changed by an external force; meaning God must change it!

If the church continues on the same path (of rest and uniform motion) It will take a move of God to change the path of destruction.  God will help those that are wayward find their way back, but for many the strict, sacred and undefiled words of the Holy Bible are not applicable anymore.

There are others with lots of zeal who are sincere but sincerely wrong.  These think they are doing Gods will and going along a straight road to destruction and can’t see the peril their in.  Discipleship is so important! It will take prayer and God to changed their directions.

Zeal without knowledge is just as bad, as they believe their salvation is based strictly on their works.  Both states are wrong.  You can’t win by going with the program of religion and traditions; It will take you down and you will wonder why it happened or worse you turn away from God.

Following Christ isn’t easy, but his love for us is eternal and that never fails.  He is our exceeding great reward!

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge,  (Romans 10:1-2 KJV).

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away,”   2 Timothy 2:3-8 KJV.

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance; but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye hold in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy, for I AM holy,”  1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV.
