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!

Before I finished this word, I could feel the heart of the Master and His reassurance that He was going to settle the matter.

While in prayer, I had a vision of a long, black, old-time train going so fast, and then I heard the words “runaway train.”

I could see the train gradually gaining momentum, seemingly going down a steep railroad.  I noticed the people within the cars didn’t have any idea what was happening.

They had no idea what waited them up ahead.  I saw how the engineer was trying to slow down the train, to no avail.  The whistle blew and over a large trestle the engineer tried to warn the people, but it was too late.

The speed of the train continued to increase and then the train jumped the track.  I watched as the engine and the rest of the cars jumped track and fell to the bottom of the ravine and caught fire.  The sight of it was sheer terror, as I could still see some of the people, as it seemed to crash in slow motion.

Some revival circles and five-fold ministry movements are just like that runaway train and will crash!  They have no idea how to slow down and stop!

Nothing can continue at such a hectic state for long, as people we faint, fall out and could walk away!  It is so important that you know the way you go.  It is important that all five-fold offices are accountable and responsible to others, not just YES men.

These are questions we must ask our leaders.  Yes, are they servant leaders?

Also ask what their doctrine is or statement of faith is.  That should not be an issue.  However if they won’t provide information, I would leave, before you join something you may need to stay away from.

To slow that train down (stop disaster) and for it not to crash and burn, we must have leaders who are balanced and will allow correction to come from those whom God sends.

Usually it is a leader.  A lot of times the leader has been through it before.  These are changing times and days!

I have no clue how the LORD will bring correction to enable course changes and course corrections through the leadership of the Apostle and Prophet, but He must send in someone who can bring correction.

I believe the LORD wants us to have a shepherd’s heart for His beloved sheep and lambs.  These have no idea, only that they must follow the shepherd, (Psalm 25)  I do not care how old we get, I believe we all need a pastor at home or online.  Jesus laid his life down for His beloved sheep and lambs.

In prayer I also saw a speed boat like one that you ski behind.  I saw a person learning to ski and they learned the art of riding the waves behind the boat.

There were many obstacles to learning to become proficient at skiing, but I sensed this was only children’s play compared to what was coming.

The LORD is preparing those who will learn to ride the waves in a simpler fashion.  These shall learn to ride the waves in the sea for the souls of man.  Especially the tidal waves that are coming.  “For those prepared by My hand shall learn to ride the crest instead of going under.”  I knew this was training for more things ahead.

In prayer I also saw a high lighthouse.  It was painted white and I would know it if I saw it.

In the vision I saw the lighthouse standing secure and brightly lighting up the sky as it spun around.  I could see the waves crashing about on the rocks below.  As the storm progressed, inland was being pelted and there was storm surge that flooded the normally dry areas.

It was so stormy and windy and I could see ships lights out there, but the horrible storm had some headed straight for rocks and shipwreck.

In the vision I saw how that lone, deeply founded lighthouse never moved, no matter how the winds came.  It turned out that even hurricane force winds had no effect with the lighthouse.

The lighthouse continued to shine and the person tried all night to get radio contact to help guide these ships away from the rocks and into the harbor.

Although the works were done to help the ships, some of them hit ground and broke up with loss of life.  Others tried to move on to see if things would be more favorable.  Of course the lighthouse gave them the coordinates on radio and prayed for them.

That lighthouse in this specific prophetic vision, represented the actions and messages of the lone prophet (these kept the oil and lamps going day in and day out).  These remained all night while interceding for those ships (ships meaning ministries being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men).

If the ships would have taken the other course set by radio (The prophets warning) this may have helped divert them to get further out to sea, to go north and try to outrun the winds and waves.

There was great loss of ships and life during this storm.  However, there were those who made it in by the grace of God.

These were clearly praying and listening to the sound of the warnings.  The lighthouse (prophet) stood and it was clearly known as the landmark in that area for many mariners to watch and pray for. (These prophets will be known as places of stability, authority and life).

These shall stand in the midst of any storm and will be known to bring great light to the situations, regions, and will be known by many others also.

The lighthouse, the ski boat and the train all represent ministry.

Course changes and course corrections must come!

Apostles and prophets MUST learn to work with each other.  There is an unsettled feeling as change always isn’t easy.

The flesh will fight against change and the unknown, when the prophet sees what is happening now and future while the apostles see structure.

Everyone seemingly is flying by the seat of their pants as God clicks people together like linking them piece by piece of a puzzle, following and trusting what God is doing.

Apostles and Prophets are needed to make known the complete functioning of the voice and the structure of HIS kingdom on HIS earth.  There are course changes that must be seen through prophets, when Apostles are looking at things structurally.

During this time-frame and beyond, the apostle must learn and work together with the prophet.

There are extremes of revival that open the door to religious spirits and Jezebel spirits.  We must remain centered and not be extreme either way.

I can feel the unsettledness and there are blind spots to each office.  That is why we have got to learn how to work and harmonize together.

Thus says the LORD Almighty,  “I know I can trust you to carry My Glory, for you have been tested and chosen to do so.

I have and will make you known to all of them.  For those who dare speak or harm those who are my childlike vessels and who carry My glory.

I shall raise them up in your presence and My glory shall be seen in their face.  Having childlike humility these childlike warriors will be so trusting of My Glory.

Their purpose in all this is to depend on their relationship with me and they will simply respond, YES!

When they see My purpose, these shall not be concerned about anything, as they simply know and trust that all is ready and such innocence is in their eyes.

I know this has happened and still will.  Stop looking to man instead of Me.  You are wanting to fit so much and because things didn’t happen the way they should have.  It caused you to deny what I taught you.

Some things were taught years ago and you reverted.  You have compromised and run with heart wide open to get into another flow, when it goes totally against My will for you.

Okay, go ahead, keep running, keep going and you will see that what I say is right.  Shall not the judge of the whole earth do right?  I AM the good shepherd and also the Commander of My armies.

In My anger I must say to those who are elitists with untouchable pride, what you see will wear you out ~ elite syndrome.

In pride they tell you if what you see wears you out, you were not strong enough to be there.  So much to live up to, and when you can’t, they will let you leave and won’t even check on you.

There is so much to live up to and when they find they cannot, they fall out, AND with offense.  Pride and arrogance cannot stand in the midst of My presence; however, you must realize what will come is a bad spirit with a anointing of Jezebel.  You shall feel an apparent anointing; that is why it is so confusing to many.

Don’t you understand?  To go further in Me is to go lower in you!

Religion, tradition, making people feel like they can’t keep up with you, is bondage.  In My Kingdom there must be a balanced view.

My people, legalism will not keep souls bound, for they shall fly away even with a broken wing.

How can people possibly imagine My goodness and kindness, when they see you not keeping up in your own unbalanced, legalistic leadership style?

Within all up-and-coming ministries, there must always remain balance and order.  Time for regrouping, family time, and rest.  People fall out because they can’t do it.  Plain and simple.  Faith stretches and gives you time to stretch with it by My grace.

So many keep going in their own effort measuring self to be part of the organization which was never my intent says the LORD.  For those who are great among you shall be your servant.

People must have balance as those who spin and keep going with no reprieve will begin to fall out of the order of things.  Which it isn’t my order but yours!  People cannot continue to live in a lie because if their is no balance and order they will burn out and fall out.

When we sense so much confusion and disorder we need to stop and get quiet and pray, resting in him and ask him to bring peace and order. Question your leadership! Find out if they are servant leaders, ask what they believe and if you see pride, personally I would run!

You need to ask the Spirit of Grace about questions you have and see.  I don’t care how much of anointing is there in that place.  There is a false anointing (it confuses the LORD’s beloved) it seems real and it “feels” like it is right.  You must not go by feelings. You must go by Gods word. It all must line up to God’s Word.

These leaders in error are looking to bait and hook you and get you to swallow their agenda, or to snag by some so they can exercise their authority but only because they are snagged.

I heard from the LORD to pray concerning chaos, turmoil.  No balance, tossed by the sea, I saw a spinning top of those who don’t know how to stop and lack of humility.

Test the spirits.  We must test the spirits to see if they are from God.  We have a responsibility to do this.

The manifested presence?  How are we to rightly divide the word and measure ourselves against the Word of God.  Feelings are deceitful.  The soulish realm is where the enemy operates.

People use feelings as fact when it is not! Heaven and earth will pass away but my word will never pass away.  Look for the fruit of the Spirit in action and look for integrity, humility especially look for the shepherd’s heart.

These types of situations and learning experiences may knock the wind out of us for a little bit.  However, I am certain they have no more power in Jesus’ name.
