THE MINISTRY LETTER 2006 ISSUE
24
To all
handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:
...."You
shall establish yourself on righteousness - right, in conformity with God's
will and order; you shall be far even from the thought of oppression or
destruction, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come
near you. Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not
from Me. Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall away to you....But no
weapon that is formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that shall
rise against you in judgement you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace,
righteousness, security, triumph over the opposition] is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord, [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is
reproduced]. This is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain
from Me - this is that which I impart to them as their justification - says the
Lord"....
Isaiah 54:14-15,17 Amplified
As one confesses
boldly the name (the Word) of the Lord (through both their words and their
actions) in every circumstance that they find themselves, it puts into motion
those aspects of the Covenant which bring about their perfect protection and
constant victory - in and by the power of the Holy Spirit - and no weapon that
is formed against them will ever "prosper" against them! Many
believers fail (through fear and unbelief) to put themselves in the position
wherein they might freely receive the "fulness" of the salvation that
belongs to them in Christ Jesus. To the degree that one seeks to lean upon
their own understanding it is to that degree that they have decided in their
hearts to go it alone - apart from God's Provision. It is utter foolishness for
the child of God to walk anywhere apart from the Word of God - for in doing so
they strip themselves of the divine protection and favour, which continually
delivers them and causes them to walk "above" all of the temporal
evils of this world. There is a very great need for every child of God to
deepen their revelation in this area of divine protection. This is not only
that they might be protected from Satan and his schemes, but also that they
might walk in the fulness of the authority they have been given in Christ - to
tear down, and bring to nothing, the strongholds which the Evil One has built
in the hearts and minds of men, women and children. It is only the heart that
"refuses" to fear that will be a pure vessel of the Father's
delivering and restorative love to all those who cross their path. Therefore,
let us be found continually confessing from the depths of our heart - in every
word and deed - that: "Jesus is Lord and my heart will not fear!"

*****
DIVINE RELEASE AND A RENEWED PASSION
In these
days there has been a "certain" release in the hearts of all those
who are "wholly given" to the highest purposes of the Father. This
"release" will produce a renewed passion for the fulfilling of the
"fulness" of the holy calling upon their lives. This
"release" and "renewed passion" shall also cause the
fulness of the Third Day apostolic anointing (Christ all in all) to be
"poured forth" through those whose hearts are pure - hearts that have
been faithful to "hold fast the vision" throughout many long years of
resistance from the Evil One. Up until this time, the Father has "held
back" many deeper revelations concerning the Kingdom and the establishment
of the Glorious Church. They were "held back" for a time in order
that His people might come into the place wherein they are free from the fear
that has continually hindered (and even blocked) them from receiving the
necessary revelation to rise above the doctrines and traditions of man which
have distorted His perfect purpose. This "ground of fear" has again -
up until this time allowed a "sin-consciousness" to remain in the
midst of the congregations.
THE FATHER IS NOW GOING TO
CONFRONT [JUDGE] ALL THAT IS APART FROM CHRIST
By
His great and awesome power, the Father is now going to confront ALL that is
apart from Christ in the midst of His people. There are many who have been
"attempting" to serve God in their own strength (fear) and they have
been held captive by a spirit of self-justification in all that they say and
do. In these days every last stronghold (fear seeking after self-glory) must be
shattered if one truly seeks to fulfil the will of the Father for their life
and ministry, and thus an intense and all-consuming fire must be released in
the midst of God's people with a view to a "final positioning" of
those who truly love Him with "all" of their heart.
IN THIS HOUR EVERY TRUE BELIEVER MUST BEGIN TO
RECEIVE A CONTINUALLY DEEPER REVELATION OF THE ANOINTING ABIDING WITHIN
With
a view to the perfect fulfillment of these things: the Father is about to
release a wave of Holy Fire that will manifest first in a Spirit of deep, deep
consecration in the lives of those whose hearts are even the least bit
"toward" the carrying out of the fulness of His will. If one chooses
to "resist" the Holy Spirit, then that Holy Fire will literally
consume all in their midst - both individually and corporately - that is apart
from the Anointed One and His Anointing. In this hour EVERY true believer must
begin to both seek and receive a continually deeper revelation of the
"anointing abiding within", for it is only in this way that one can
even begin to enter into God's "economy". He has so much planned in
such a short time that it would be "sheer folly" for one to be
caught leaning upon their own understanding in any way, shape or form. This
would also result in one being quickly "overwhelmed" (in a bad way)
and disoriented as far as the Father's highest purpose in any given moment is
concerned.
UNLESS ONE'S INNER MAN IS CONTINUALLY EDIFIED, AND THEY
ARE THUS "ESTABLISHED" IN GOD'S WORD, SATAN SHALL RETAIN A
"DEGREE OF CONTROL" OVER THEIR MIND"
Unless
one's inner man is continually edified, and they are thus
"established" in God's Word, Satan shall retain a "degree of
control" over their mind, and thus they shall come to be used by him to
hinder the establishment of the "true" Church. Now is the time
wherein the judgements of God shall fall upon all those who have
"adhered" to a "mental and emotional" religion. Because
many have forsaken "intimate" fellowship with Him they do not know
Him in the way that He desires to be known by them! No more shall the doctrines
and traditions of men be "bandied" about recklessly, for the Father
shall judge EVERY idle word and He shall let all those who speak them - out of
the "abundance" of their heart - know that the words they speak are
"stout" against Him!
THIS IS AN HOUR OF MIRACULOUS
"RESTORATION" UNTO THE "FULNESS" OF THE FATHER'S PURPOSE
AND WILL FOR HIS FAITHFUL CHILDREN
This
is the hour of miraculous (divine) restoration - not only with a view to
"fixing" (repairing) whatever needs fixing, but fixing with a view to
those things or people who are healed (restored) moving into the fulness of the
Father's Kingdom-purpose for their lives. I would strongly encourage all those
who truly love God to "pull out all the stops (hindrances)" as far as
your faith is concerned - "knowing" that the Father's hand is on your
situation. As you keep yourself ready (a pure vessel of His love), you will
surely have the opportunity to play your perfect part in this glorious
restoration of all that you have been standing for faithfully. Never
"allow" yourself to be "moved" by what you may hear - or
even see - but rather keep your mind and eyes and heart focused on the Word of
God - for it is certain that "love never fails" to accomplish that
which He has set His heart upon, and He is always "watching over His Word
to perform it". Remember, that even in the seemingly darkest hour - as
each moment seems like an eternity - you are simply just one step closer to
experiencing in the "physical realm" that which you have set your
heart upon in agreement with the Father and His Word [Will].
THE FATHER IS LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL
The
Father is looking for those who are faithful in this hour, for it is through
the compassion and love abiding in their heart that He is enabled to do great
and glorious signs and wonders in the establishment of the Glorious (local)
Church. So again, hold fast to Father's highest will and purpose and, in
continually seeking a clear revelation of His best - moment to moment - then
cling to that blessed hope - at all cost to yourself! This is the way of faith
and this is the way of love - and complete victory is CERTAIN for the one(s)
who will trust in the Father's glorious provision EVERY step of the way.
THIS IS THE TIME OF DIVINE RESTORATION
Again,
this is the time of "divine restoration". So "expect the
unexpected" - for the Father is surely able to do exceeding abundantly
beyond all you can ask or think in this most critical and glorious hour. From
here on in the Church will move from revelation to revelation, faith to faith,
obedience to obedience and glory to glory. Satan knows this and is
"attempting" to distract God's servants with a view to moving them
into the wrong place in the wrong timing through a reliance on their
"own" understanding. This is a time when each and every one of us MUST
seek - and gain - final confirmation in the Throne Room in ALL matters - even
the smallest details. Our "success" in this last of the last hour
shall be predicated on an intimate relationship with the Father and His Word -
WITHOUT EXCEPTION!
Let us hear the words of the Father:
"IT IS ONLY MY WORD THAT IS ABLE TO ILLUMINATE SIN IN
THE HEART OF A MAN"
...."It
has not been an "uncommon" thing for many of My children to desire
separation from My Word before separation from their sin, for in desiring to
retain wilful sin in their lives, they force themselves away from My Word.
Indeed, it is only My Word that is able to illuminate sin in the heart of a
man. In realizing this fact, one can easily see why many are running from the
light. The wilful retaining of sin (fear) in the hearts of My children causes
great spiritual darkness to enshroud them and they will have no way of knowing
where they are going, because this darkness shall blind the eyes of anyone who
hardens their heart against Me. Do not be surprised at any of the
manifestations of this deep darkness which shall cover the peoples, only arise,
shine, for your light has come and My glory has risen upon you and nations will
come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising"....
"THEY HAVE BEEN ENSHROUDED WITH A DELUDING
INFLUENCE - THAT EVIL INFLUENCE BEING A DIRECT PRODUCT OF THE HARDNESS OF THEIR
HEARTS"
...."The
sole reason for one of My children being used as a vessel of persecution
(distraction) against another one of My children is the fact that they do not
"know" the thoughts and intentions of My heart. In this last hour
those of My children who know Me shall be able to discern clearly those things
which are from Me; whereas those who have hardened their hearts against Me
shall "slip into darkness", and shall in no way be able to discern
the things which are of Me; for they have been enshrouded with a deluding
influence - that "evil" influence being a direct product of the
hardness of their hearts"....
"EVERYTHING IN THIS LAST HOUR HINGES ON THE POSITION OF
MY CHILDREN"
...."How
can any one of My children hold to the "thought" that I am
"unapproachable" when they have yet to make a steadfast and diligent
effort to enter into perfect (intimate) fellowship with Me in the "inner
chamber - on a daily basis? If one does not take the "necessary"
steps to draw near to Me then they shall "allow" Satan to deceive
them into thinking that I am "unapproachable" and
"uninterested" in the so-called "minor" details or aspects
of their life. But truly I say to you, this is just a convenient excuse for one
to lean upon their "own" understanding, and thus "maintain"
control in their own lives and in the lives of others - having "allowed"
themselves to be deceived by the Evil One! Everything in this last hour hinges
on the "position" of My children! Will they be seated at My right
hand in the heavenly places with (in) Christ? Or will they
"fellowship" with the world and "allow" themselves to be
controlled by the spirit of darkness that enshrouds it?"....
"MY REMNANT OF HOLY ONES SHALL CONTINUALLY
MANIFEST A PERFECT LOVE TOWARDS THOSE OF THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE
USED BY THE EVIL ONE TO COME AGAINST THEM"
...."Truly
I say to you, in this last hour the true "heart-position" of
"every" last child of Mine shall be revealed and exposed for all to
see. Once again one shall be able to distinguish between the one who
"truly" loves Me and the one who does not and the one who
"truly" serves Me and the one who does not. And thus, there shall be
a great "confrontation" between those of My children "completely
given" to abiding in love and those of My children who - through their
"refusal" to draw near to My Word - "maintain" a certain
ground of pride and arrogance and rebellion towards "Me". This is not
a confrontation between "flesh and blood", but rather this is a
"spiritual" warfare and battle of great significance! For on the one
side My remnant of holy ones shall continually manifest a perfect love "towards"
those of their brothers and sisters who are used by the Evil One to come
against them. And thus, they shall "obliterate" and
"devastate" the vast majority of the strongholds that Satan has been
"allowed" to build in the "sons of disobedience". And thus,
the "vast majority" of those who "had" been in rebellion
against Me shall repent and they shall "mesh" with My glorious
remnant so swiftly and smoothly that it shall seem as if they had never been
apart!"....
"A WHOLESOME OR PERFECT (ABSOLUTE) FAITH"
IS ONE WHICH KEEPS ITS EYES FIXED FIRMLY ON MY WORD"
...."It
is futile for My children to attempt to walk in faith by the power of the
flesh, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word; indeed all things
come into being and are upheld by the power of My Word! Therefore, it is of the
greatest importance for My children to discern the difference between fleshly
striving and standing fast on My Word. As I have said before it is an
"unwholesome" faith that attempts to "peek around corners"
- always with a certain amount of reliance upon the five physical senses -
apart from My Word. Therefore, a "wholesome" or perfect (absolute)
faith is one which keeps its eyes fixed firmly on My Word. Did I not say to My
children, "Keep your eyes fixed firmly (focused) on (My Word) Jesus, the
author and perfecter of faith? And is it not also written that the Word became
flesh, and again that the Word was God?
"MY CHILDREN MUST REALIZE THAT I EXPECT NOTHING
OF THEM APART FROM A PURE AND SIMPLE DEVOTION TO MY WORD"
As My
children develop a "mature" faith, their reliance on the five
physical senses shall diminish - and indeed their senses will have become
trained to discern both good and evil by the "habitual practice" of
obedience to the spiritual principles and commands I have set forth in My Word.
My children must realize that I expect nothing of them apart from a pure and
simple devotion to My Word, which again will manifest in the obedience which
comes only from a pure and loving heart. Is it not written to obey is better
than sacrifice? If My children notice their eyes beginning to succumb to the
"futile" pressure by which the Evil One attempts to lure them outside
the covenants of promise, all they need to do is repent in their heart, for in
discerning quickly any potential seed of unbelief, every thought shall be
brought captive to the obedience of My Word and My beloved and precious ones
shall dwell securely in the blessed land which I have provided for them in
Christ Jesus"....
"KNOW BY FAITH THAT YOU ARE EMPOWERED IN ALL
THAT YOU DO BY THE ANOINTING THAT ABIDES WITHIN YOU"
...."Now
is a time for non-compromise in ALL that you do. Bow your knees to no man, but
rather know by faith that you are empowered in all that you do by the anointing
that abides within you. Do not - even for a moment - consider those things
which proceed forth from the mind of man, but consider only those things which
I have revealed to your heart. Do not fear what others think of you.
Respect only My wishes and the desires of My heart, and you shall have success
in ALL that you set your hand to. I desire great boldness in My children, a
boldness so great that it will cause fear to rise up in the hearts of those who
have forsaken Me; for it is certain that the Evil One attempts to bring My
children to a place wherein he can lure them into an "attitude" of
compromise and into fellowship with the world; and those who "allow"
themselves to be deceived shall surely know that they have forsaken Me in order
to please "flesh and blood". Speak My words - moment to moment -
knowing that in all you speak, Satan shall be defeated in the lives of those
who will "hear" your voice"....
"NEVER HAS THERE BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME NOT
TO BE MOVED BY ANYTHING APART FROM MY WORD - FOR GREAT VICTORY IS NEAR"
...."Supernatural
hope and faith in My Word shall always overcome physical circumstances. It
matters not how long a "manifestation" of My will takes to enter into
the physical realm; all that matters is that the one standing in faith hold
fast to their confession, not "allowing" themselves to be moved by
any attempt of the Evil One to move them off the path of perfect faith and
"resistance". Many times Satan will attempt to make one of My
children "feel" that their "labours" are in vain, and if
they succumb to his lies then they will take the pressure off him and stop
"pursuing him until he is consumed". It is in these times of
"seeming nothingness" that I am best able to show Myself forth the
strongest. Never has there been a more important time not to be moved by
anything apart from My Word [Will], for great victory is near for all those
whom I have assigned "special tasks" and they shall surely see the
glorious fruits of their labour, and then they shall look back on the times of
seeming "dryness" and "inertia" as the very time in which
the victory was won"....
*****
MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
+ I
do not care what others think about any given thing. My only concern, at any
given time, is to be in perfect agreement with the deepest thoughts and
intentions of my Father's heart. For those who cross my path, and who are truly
in "agreement" with God, and who are seeking His will in all things,
shall most surely be in perfect agreement with me in all I say or do, in the
will of God. And this perfect harmony shall always be confirmed by the presence
of God in our midst. For where two shall agree on anything concerning the will
of God He shall surely be found right in their midst. On the other hand, should
one hold to a rebellious attitude of any sort they shall always be found to be
fighting against those who truly serve God and thus what they "think"
is of no true importance. For in their failure to bring every thought captive
to a perfect obedience they have become vessels of Satan and I refuse to have
anything to do with him! Indeed, we are called to love our enemies and
pray for those who persecute us, but we are in no way to "fear" what
they may "think". For in the rebellious one those thoughts are rooted
and grounded in pride and hatred and enmity towards God and all that is of Him!
+ What is the root of
the true Christian life? To be nothing before God and men; to delight in, to
imitate, to learn of Christ, the meek and lowly one. This is the only key to
the true knowledge of Scripture. It is in this attitude that Christ comes to
teach and only in this attitude that you can learn of Him. What an
insignificant place the church has given to the teachings of humility compared
to its significance in the life of Christ and the teachings in the Word of God.
I am deeply persuaded that this is the reason for much of the weakness and
unfruitfulness in the church. Only when we are meek and lowly in heart can
Christ teach us by His Spirit what God has for us and what God will work in us.
+ No matter how
difficult this discipline is, I urge all Bible students to thoughtfully and
prayerfully ask themselves whether the very first question to be settled in the
"inner chamber" is not this: Is my heart in the state in which my
Teacher desires it to be? And if it is not, the first thing they must do is to
yield themselves to Him to work it in them.
+ Happy is that man
who, for righteousness' sake permits all "worldly" things to leave
him, who does "violence" to the "old man", and crucifies
the lusts of the flesh by the fervor of the Spirit, and with his conscience
serene, makes pure prayer to God!
+ There are those who
think that fellowship with Christ in His death means a lessening of
"sensitiveness" and power to "feel", whilst others rebel
against this thought, and say they do not believe in the eliminating of the
"emotional" in spiritual experience. The life of the Lord Himself,
and especially the letters of Paul, show us clearly the true balance between
these two extremes. In the first case, the truth is that fellowship with Christ
in His death simply delivers us from undue "self- sensitiveness", and
sets us free to be increasingly and acutely sensitive for all that concerns
Christ and others! And in the second case, all that is needed is that the
"surface emotionalism" be taken away, so that the very deepest depths
of the whole inmost being may be opened for the life of God to be poured
out upon all those who cross our path.
+ Worldly education and
knowledge cannot eliminate man's fundamental yearning for and belief in the
"supernatural".

GOLDEN MANNA FROM THE MOUNT
RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE

My
dear one, I have seen you struggling and striving wanting to get somewhere
different on the outside than where you are at right now. But I would tell you
this day My love, that I have been needing for you to get somewhere different
on the inside first so that I can take you to your new place on the outside. I
know you are weary of all this wilderness training, but if these changes are
not made first on the inside, it could spoil what I want to do through you
later on the outside. You will make it through this.
Even though you
may feel like you are not accomplishing much these days, I am giving you daily
revelation that is changing who you are from the inside out. You do not need to
be somewhere else right now because you are still right where I need you to be.
This long time of spiritual training will end one day, and you will be released
into the things I have promised you. You gave Me permission to do this work
many years ago, so I am just making sure that the changes in you are truly
genuine and lasting.
You have been
faithful and patient to allow Me to work in you so trust Me all the way through
to the end, because there is an end. I did not make any wrong decisions in your
past, so you need not keep second guessing where you should be right now. The
evil one will try to steal your peace by telling you that you are off course,
and that you have missed my direction somewhere along the line, but you
haven't, so do not worry. Remember that I love you, and I will be faithful to
keep you right where you need to be.

...."for
in Mt Zion and Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in
the remnant whom the Lord shall call"....
Joel 2:32
Hear what the Spirit of the Lord says:
To the Church:
Now is a time of
shifting and shaking. Stand in this hour - hold fast to My Word and Truth. I
shall show mighty signs and wonders. Dare to speak those things that be not as
though they were. There is a shifting going on in the Spirit. Many of you are
feeling discombobulated, disoriented - not knowing where you are.
Fear not.
Though you are
in the eye of the storm, do not fear - for I am with you. Stand still!
Don't move - just listen for My voice, hold on to Me. For there will be a great
revealing to you in these days. You will begin to see clearly who you are and
what I am calling you to do - only watch and listen. Do not turn to the
right or the left - only stand still. For when the storm has passed, you
will see a straight path before you.
...."And he
arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm"....

"GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR"
PART TWO
WORDS OF DEATH AND DARKNESS LEAD TO FEAR - WORDS OF
LIFE AND LIGHT LEAD TO FAITH
How
absolutely marvelous are the promises of our Heavenly Father, but we must have
them established in our hearts - in and by the Holy Spirit - or they will be
"foreign" to us in our time of need. Every believer must realize that
all of these things previously mentioned are the heritage of those who are
separated wholly unto the Father and His Word - and all of us, as His children,
are called to be just that! Many, up until now, have been slow to incline their
heart to the Word of God, and because of this they do not yet realize many
aspects of their precious inheritance in Christ - one of which is their total
and absolute redemption from ANY bondage to the spirit of fear. We need to
place the Word of God before our eyes continually in order that we might confess
it with our mouth continually. As our mind is renewed to the Word of God we
will THEN replace any of the fear-filled lies of Satan that we previously
believed, with the faith-filled promises of God. As the child of God diligently
seeks the life of faith and places God's Word first place in their life - day
in and day out - the Father will place them in an "environment" which
is conducive to the spiritual growth He so desires for them to experience. All
believers must discipline themselves to take heed what they hear! For they will
either "choose" to hear words of death and darkness which lead to
fear, or words of life and light which lead to faith.
"IT IS EVERY BELIEVER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
ACTIVATE GOD'S WORD [WILL] IN THE EARTH THROUGH THE EXERCISING OF FAITH"
Every
child of God needs to develop a deep trust in the Father (and His Word) and all
that He is so that they might reach the point where the leaning of their entire
being is on Him (in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and
goodness) - for He alone is worthy! We must realize that Satan can do nothing
except through our fear. Therefore, in seeing that this is so, we need to
continually allow the Holy Spirit to remove anything, from our hearts and
minds, which is not in accordance with the Word of God. It is every believer's
responsibility to activate God's Word in the earth through the exercising of
faith! As we fill our hearts with an abundance of God's Word THEN out of that
abundance in our hearts we shall continually speak words of life - for in our
tongues are the power of life and death (Matthew 12:34 -37) (Proverbs 18:21)!
Let it be known that if words of fear and unbelief are spoken, the law of sin
and death will be activated in the earth. But on the other hand, as words of
faith and love are spoken, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus will
be activated.
FEAR ALWAYS CAUSES CORRUPTION, DARKNESS AND DEATH
WHEREVER IT IS PUT INTO ACTION
In 2 Timothy 1:7 (K.J.V.) it is written:
...."For
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind"....
The child of God
should NEVER act in fear, but rather they should ALWAYS replace that fear with
a faith-filled promise from the Word of God. Then, having done that, to step
out blindly - if necessary - knowing and believing that the Father is indeed
watching over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). We must know in our
hearts that God has not given us the spirit of fear, and, in knowing this, we
must recognize that anything which denotes fear is not of God, but of Satan.
There are many believers who have coined the phrase "healthy fear"
while, in reality, there is no such thing. Fear always causes corruption,
darkness and death wherever it is put into action, and is an abominable thing
in the eyes of God.
"HOLY" CAUTIOUSNESS
The
Holy Spirit gave me a definition as I inquired on the word
"cautiousness" found in Proverbs 14:16 NASB and He said:
...."Cautiousness
in the child of God is that state of heart which produces a watchful eye for
the Word of God in every situation. This in no way denotes fear, but rather a
trust in the Heavenly Father - which is pleasing to Him. It is an attitude of
heart which protects the believer from any intrusion of evil. Caution exercised
by the double-minded believer is always based on fear. Caution exercised by the
pure hearted believer is always based in faith and obedience to My command to
be of sober spirit and to remain alert to the wiles of the Evil One".... [1 Peter 5:8]
In this
true state of heart the believer's only desire is to remain inside the Covenant
they have with the Father - which was ratified by the Blood of Jesus - and they
are therefore ALWAYS alert in their trust in and dependence upon the Word of
God.
