New Territory and a Season of Transitioning

There is a mass exodus, a mass transitioning going on with those whom the LORD is placing in our lives and with leadership.

 

There is a mass exodus, a mass transitioning going on with those whom the LORD is placing in our lives and with leadership.

These will support and man the base points, or the HUB’s vision of the mission.

There are many things happening at the same time.  Be not anxious, for you shall walk in the fullness of your calling.  I have prepared you and I AM doing things suddenly that for many years and some, even decades, have wondered if it would ever happen.

Some of you were at the point of retirement thinking I was finished with you.  You may not be a spring chicken, but you are a full bird eagle and I remember and created you so.

Yes, you were seemingly alone for so long; that you felt you lost your dream.

I met with Moses and he didn’t believe Me either, stating he was a man of slow speech.  He had no idea I prepared him on the backside of the desert and I would show myself strong in his life.  Moses was the meekest man who ever walked the earth.

My prescription for all my rebellious and prideful one’s is the wilderness and back side of the desert!  I called Moses out of retirement!

You have said even in the midst of people, I am alone and forgotten.  Listen here!  I know where you are and where you have been; but now listen again!

I the LORD say that everything combined from the beginning of your calling till now, will be far superseded in magnitude!  The latter end will be greater than the former!  Everything you have learned and waited on will now be released like the breaking of the dam!

In this season, My elect will be released and the overflow will flood the earth and cleanse the land so great revival will come.

Many are coming and going and yes some of you are loosing friends and leadership.  Do not look at the loss in numbers of people.  It is transition time!

PCS: Meaning ‘Permanent Change of Station,’ (to be permanently moved to a new post).
Yes, many are permanently changing duty stations!

There are some who are going, TDY: Meaning ‘Temporary Duty Assignments.’
They will fly it and fly out all for the mission.

I AM moving people on to other missions.  There these shall continue to be acceleration and mass transition this year as each find their own place and purpose.  Yes, there are many leaving and many coming.

Some of you are losing numbers of people who were once part of your life and ministry and now, these have moved on.

You have questioned me and now I express My heart and mind to you.  I AM bringing new people together who will function together as a base point or HUB.

New friends come as old one’s go.  Do not be offended if they leave you.  Each has to find their place in My purpose.  Right now is a season of transitioning to new assignments.

I AM placing new contacts, new friends and new ministry and kingdom connections.  Beloved, know this!  This is Not a demotion but actually a promotion!

For some of you at the beginning, it may appear that way, but I AM placing My vision in the earth and My people shall walk it out.

My militant ones are rising up and they have been made ready.  These will be tough!  Tough on the kingdom of darkness!  These are job shifting and go in like a skeleton crew to establish a base HUB for those who fly in and those who fly out.  I AM bringing in the rest of the crew and don’t be surprised who shows up!

Vision: I saw a skeleton key

I the LORD say that you cannot live in a closet anymore!  I AM unlocking old systems and issues that have been pushed way back.  I will deliver you from all that has been hidden in you!

All of the fragmented area’s beloved will be uprooted and the core destroyed. It has caused the church to be powerless for too long.

New Territory reclaims old invaded cultures in close and distant lands.  These are the days that My equipped people will be linked from all HUB’s in the world link by link.  These have learned to live and walk in the spirit and continue to learn more!

I will make room for your gifts.  Be patient and I will validate your gifts and announce you to those who need to know.  You shall know My alignment when you all speak the same thing, says the LORD.

NOTE:  Competition, jealousy, envy, and division should never be named among yourselves.

Prayer:

LORD, help us to be a nurturer to God’s people and have that type of ministry style.

People are fed up with religion and traditions.  Help us be different even as you are Jesus.   Amen!

Integrity, honesty, loyalty and trust are a must.  Each of us need to know we can trust our leadership.  Yes, everyone makes mistakes but look to their consistency of walk with the LORD.

Hear the voice of those seeking refuge and salvation!

”Before I let you in, I need to know if you really have good intentions towards me or are you just going to tell me how screwed up I am right off the bat?”

Leaders!  Before a person is open to salvation, healing or deliverance they must be able to trust who is talking to them and know they aren’t trying to harm them.

Trust is and will always be a big deal!

Adversity + Intensity = Acceleration

The LORD says: “The enemy has kept this region in darkness but a great light shall shine like the mushroom denotation of a nuclear weapon!”

 

It has amazed me how desperate the enemy is in all out attacks!

He realizes he should have never roused me, and NOW will learn he should have left me alone!

You have to get mad at the devil, and not just mad!  You got to tell him like it is!  We had so many attacks and evidence of the warfare the past months and it was getting more intense and bazaar.

After many attacks, I got fed up!  I got mad at the devil when I saw my husband laying halfway on the road and in a ditch after a truck accident.  It did not matter, I got mad and I told the devil enough is enough! It did not matter that it was in front of police, EMTs and all who were there.

The man who brought Jeff home, as he was driving down our drive-way, instead of steering it down to our home, he lost control of the truck went through a fence and they said it was like being on ice, but no ice was there.

The truck had no brakes, couldn’t stop it or steer it.  IF that truck had been a yard or so closer it would have hit our propane tank and gone into the house where I was.

IMPORTANT:  That happened just beyond our property.  This is not the time to be on the edge of your boundaries.  If you are on boundaries, you better be hunkered down in alert status and able to discern what is going on to do warfare.

To see the truck and how everything happened was so twisted!  Yet we were being pressed into action with the devil.

The tables turned and I got very angry!  We must know who we are in Christ!  We are not weak beggarly soldiers!

The enemy tries to intimidate us make us feel less than who Christ died to make us free.  He wants you to talk yourself out of who you are!  When we doubt and fear we give place to the enemy.  The only authority the devil has in our lives is what we give him!

It is our mind that needs to shift from fear to acceleration, leaving the enemy in the dust!

I have never seen such bazaar attacks in all realms like the way they are now.  You know and can sense the devil’s desperation of losing ground.

These enemies, some of which have been assigned to you, have had orders from satan himself to hold and maintain the ground he gained!  However, with each attack, each blow and bomb he tries to detonate, he is losing the ground and the tables are turning around!!  He is losing because he cannot stop you!!  He is throwing everything he has at you at once!

IMPORTANT:  I have felt with each attack a surge in the spirit realm, God is sending in high ranking warrior angels!

As we see things happening in the natural, there is a great battle in the spirit realm.  These ranking warrior angels are sent to the heirs of salvation, fighting to make the way clear so that we may run with the message we carry!

I saw myself in a vision.  I was wearing a karate outfit and I was spinning in all sorts of ways, kicking, punching and slinging vipers in all directions.  I could see their fangs and poison was coming out of their fangs, yet the vipers could not make contact with the flesh.  There was no place for the devil!

I saw that cartoon character Riley Coyote and Roadrunner.  No matter what that old coyote did to catch Roadrunner, he never could master it.  Roadrunner would approach the traps and the bird would sick his tongue out and Beep beep and shift out of that trap in the making.  Nothing could trap that road runner.

We are much like that scenario when we run the race set before us.

God is going to shift you into low gear and rev you up and release you into thrust!  All that will be left are skid marks! It is time beloved, the rockets are nothing against MY Weapons of Warfare.

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?  So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.  Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.  I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway,”   1 Corinthians 9:24-27.

Where I now reside, there is a stigma in the Appalachian mountains.  People think we are ignorant and stupid.  They call us barefoot, pregnant, ridge runners and moonshiner’s.

“The enemy has kept this region in darkness but a great light shall shine like the mushroom denotation of a nuclear weapon!

I will break through the decades of bondage to religion and tradition in that region.  True revival shall come and I AM waking up My beloved that have been asleep and on the verge of being quenched.  I AM at the very door.

Oh Appalachia, oh Appalachia! Hear ME!  Yeah, you will be called ridge runners, and moonshiners for you shall shine like the moon and you shall run each ridge, hollow, each stream, each brook nothing shall stop MY beloved barefoot and pregnant ridge runners says your LORD!

It’s Harvest time!”

You Are Great With Child!
	


				

				
Church, the things we have waited for are coming to pass.  Our transition and pain is God’s way of bringing His destinies in and through us to pass.

			

			
	
	

		
 


We know during labor pains, the pressure is awful and intense. 


We think we will die, but surely it will be easier…


Sure!  During my transition labor it was one pain after an other.  No breaks, not until the live birth happened and they had to use forceps to pull him out.


I would encourage you today, beware and know your enemy.  Trust God, because the LORD won’t bring us to birth to let it not happen.


This transitioning is happening and it is constant pain.


You may think to run away, due to pain.  You may yell, hit something, hit someone or rip a surgical gown off the doctor because of pain.  We do things in transition, we normally would not do.


Sometimes our vision, or child, must be pulled out and brought into the new environment.


Church, the things we have waited for are coming to pass.  Our transition and pain is God’s way of bringing His destinies in and through us to pass.


You are great with child!  Understand you are coming full circle and all you were prepared by God to do.  It is NOW happening!

Are We Groupie’s or Disciples?
	


				

				
The Bible is clear not to lay hands suddenly on any man in giving them leadership roles, or else they will fall in the condemnation of satan.  

			

			
	
	

		
 


The Bible is clear not to lay hands suddenly on any man in giving them leadership roles, or else they will fall in the condemnation of satan.  


It is the pride of being lifted up in the eyes of man can really do a lot of damage to a lot of people.


It takes discipline and a leader that is a “servant leader” to show them how it is done.  Leadership by example is the way of Jesus.  Leadership should refrain for time to watch and pray to be sure the disciples are ready to hold leadership positions.


To elevate man or woman too quickly, without going to God’s word, proper maturity and knowing their life, could cause a huge shipwreck in their lives and damage a lot of people.


It’s in knowing and allowing them to mature (in a safe environment; to learn how to exercise their gifts without fear of reproach), also in producing godly spiritual fruits and testing their gifts as seasoned leaders get to know them.  As prospective leadership, the leaders learn to recognize those who are truly being groomed by the Holy Ghost.


It is the LORD who promotes.  If man promotes too quickly, the messages may have truth yet error, as there is a mixture of the truth.


Scriptures tell us not to put a novice in a place of authority, else they fall into the condemnation of the devil.  The devil thought he could take God’s place in heaven and be God.


Lucifer started a rebellion in heaven, he felt he should be God.  You know the story, the devil rose up in pride thinking he could be like God; Lucifer and one third of the angels were then thrown down to the earth.


The devil does the same today.  He seeks access through man’s pride, and a position of leadership over man.  The devil and demons are actively looking for any way to take positions in all sorts of leadership positions including the churches today.


Man will always make mistakes and no matter how we avoid to do it, we still hurt people.  It isn’t our desire, but because of the fall we all make mistakes.  We are human.  We know we never want to offend or hurt someone.  However, we all fail in many ways.


As leaders allow the Holy Ghost to lead us, we can avoid a lot of pitfalls and hopefully avoid some of the scenarios.


Here’s some scenarios I have seen:


The anointing is not there, so the leader feels pressured to move forward in the flesh instead of waiting on God.  What happens in this is these ministers are moved by the flesh with a mixture message.  What is worse is that the people pressure you to go beyond His leading.


You can feel what seems like an anointing?  There are counterfeit anointings, we must base all things on God’s word, no matter how spiritual it seems.  Know those who labor among you.


Here is something I have learned over time.  If I get into a pressured situation to move on with the service and His Spirit doesn’t move, I have and I will shut down a meeting and call for repentance, or just close the doors.  Oh I hate to grieve the Holy Spirit.


We worry about other’s feelings and we fail to understand the LORD’s feelings about the matter.  Do you know He grieves over us?


I will pull away when something is off, even it seems like I am the only one feeling it.  I must learn to trust the master above all voices of man.


Man can do mighty feats.  Must we have another tower of babel?  Does God have to come and frustrate our plans and our language that we don’t speak the same thing anymore?


Frustrate my plans LORD Jesus!  Please frustrate my plans!  We must repent of doing our own thing and accomplishing our own plans!  We should remain in repentance until we are in the will of our LORD Jesus Christ!


It is the time to hold silent repentant meetings to purge us of all hindrances.  How long has it been since we have had a watch service?  Could we be silent enough to press through and tap into the LORD’s will?


Are we groupies or disciples?   When we become too busy for intimacy with God, we are too busy!


We will always be tempted to move too fast if we excel to excellence, instead of allowing God to elevate us in His time.  Yes, even workaholics are just as bad and those who are slothful.  There will always be balance in the kingdom.  Even and especially with ministry work.


Ask yourselves this:  For ministry, are you happy if the LORD gives you just ONE person to help, or are you into numbers and crowds?  Please tell me how big the group is?


Jesus went to the One person!  Jesus did the majority of His ministry outside established religion, and He still does today.


Really think about this.  What is your motive in ministry?  You may not realize within yourself that there is some of that “stinkin’ thinkin’.”


I don’t ever want to get so big in man’s eyes and miss out on the intimacy of my LORD and Savior in the secret place.  He is so precious to me and I gotta have HIM being big in me.  The secret of our power with God comes from our alone time with Jesus.


We must know who we are and be satisfied with that!  No matter what man will say, nothing will cause us to stray away from His finished work of grace in our hearts.


This is how it has always been with Jesus and me.  He won’t let me remain in what is popular, or remain where man thinks people are so great.


We can idolize people and God will take them home, because no flesh can glory in His presence.  Keep your eye’s on Jesus.  No matter what, it isn’t the person.  So don’t look at them.  See them through the LORD!


Ministry with people, and ministry work day-in and day-out, can become idolatry.  Not only will it kill your marriage, it will destroy families.  Why?  Because there is no balance.


It is wonderful ministering under the anointing, and before you know it, you forget you are human and you don’t sleep or take care of your body.  You forget you need intimate time with the LORD and your family suffers and it goes right down the line to spiritual burnout!  Ask me how I know…….


Personally, I have asked to have the LORD’s heart; and oh my, HIS heart!  He chooses to allow me to sense and feel him.  Oh and it hurts me when I grieve, as I am grieving in Him.


Or I can be around others and I can sense His heart and I begin to grieve.  The LORD grieves and has all emotions, and He longs for you to know His heart.  God knows where you are and what you want.


Above all things, I’ve got to have him!  If I only minister to just one in life, I will say, Yes.  As long as I know His will, have HIS purpose and remain deeply in love with HIM, I can say YES!


God wants us to remain humble, broken and lowly of heart, even when He elevates us.  Why?  He gets ALL the glory and HE is our exceeding great reward.


All I want is Him!  He wants us to desire all HE is!  He is our exceeding great reward!


To fall in love with Jesus, everything we go through fades away, until all we see is HIM no matter where and what we do, HE is our Everything, our exceeding, great reward!
