THE MINISTRY
LETTER 2007 ISSUE 17
To all
handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:
IN THESE DAYS THERE ARE MANY TRUE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENTS
BEING ESTABLISHED THROUGHOUT THE BODY OF CHRIST IN EVERY NATION
In
these days there are many true spiritual environments being established
throughout the Body of Christ in every nation - each one being unique -
according to the highest purpose of the Father. The underlying principle is the
same in each one of these environments that the Holy Spirit has established in
that they are inhabited by a people who are truly seeking first the Kingdom - a
people who love God with ALL of their heart. They are those who faithfully obey
Him - holding fast to the vision (revelation) that He has given them - at all
cost to themselves. In the days ahead - through the perfect ordering and
empowerment of the Holy Spirit - these various "environments" will
most certainly be linked "spiritually" (in the Spirit), but in many
cases they will also be linked physically through the ordered movement of
certain individuals - again, according to the Father's perfect purpose for the
entire Church. While it is certain that much time has passed in many of these
locations (in some cases many years in the process of perfect preparation for
the task ahead) it is clear that the Father's aim has always been the bearing
of "maximum fruit" for these environments - and for the church at
large in the days ahead. And so, in the "fullness of time" He will
surely move powerfully through these various environments to first impact the
church and then to impact the nations (including Israel and the fulness of her
destiny).
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THESE DAYS FOR EVERY
CHRISTIAN TO COME TO A TRUE AND DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE POWER OF LOVE
As
the true Remnant (those "dwelling" in a true spiritual environment -
regardless of what form (pattern) that may take) goes forth the love abiding
within them - both individually and corporately - shall begin to
"attract" (like a powerful magnet) those in the world whose heart is
"towards" God. This tremendous outpouring of the Father's love shall
also have a great effect upon all those who - although they have remained in
some way under the bondage of the denominational structure - have a heart that
is still toward God, and thus they have a "knowing" deep within that
there is a much higher calling and spiritual positioning for them to be established
in. This great love being poured forth through a holy people shall also cause
any who "wilfully maintain" a position of rebellion (under the direct
influence of the spirit of rebellion and the spirit of anti-christ) to be
radically repelled by the great force released through the outpouring of this
divine love [and light]. It is extremely important in these days for EVERY
Christian to come to a true and deep knowledge of the power of love. It is the
greatest force in this universe. It is God, Himself, in all of His Glory - for
He is love!
THE MANIFESTATION OF TRUE, CORPORATE ANOINTING
One
of the great keys in this final hour will be the manifestation of true, corporate
anointing in the Body of Christ. The many years of training that those whose
hearts are wholly given to God have gone through was a preparation to learn how
to put the Father and His Word first in one's life. It was a divine process of
learning to believe and trust in Him - a learning to unite one's faith with His
Word. In the times of the wilderness experience the Father was drawing His
children unto Himself for this very purpose. In many cases this led to a
"cave-like" experience where one was separated - for the most part -
from any great degree of fellowship with others in the Body of Christ. It has
been the failure of many individuals in the church to enter into that place of
intimate fellowship with the Father and His Word daily that has precluded a
pure flow of God's power (love) through a true, corporate anointing in days
past.
THE TWO KEY ELEMENTS OF TRUE, CORPORATE ANOINTING
The
two key elements of true, corporate anointing - whether we are talking about
two people or more - is that first each individual heart must be wholly given
to God and secondly, through a perfect obedience and a continual seeking first
of the Kingdom they must have maintained a pure heart before God and man. It is
only through these two elements that one can even begin to enter into that
place of true spiritual fellowship - a place wherein they have heard the voice
of the Holy Spirit, and allowed Him to establish the aforementioned glorious (divine)
connections with others in the Body. Any relationship in the Body of Christ
apart from these two key components is doomed to failure - and can in no way be
used by the Father for true Kingdom-service in the midst of His people. For the
only way for individuals to walk in true unity is for each one of them to be
found abiding in revelation knowledge - concerning the will of the Father. True
unity [one accord] cannot be formulated in any other way - for it is only as
one is linked to the Head that they are able to move forth as one, in Christ
[have the mind of Christ and the heart of the Father]. The mind of the flesh
setting itself in agreement with the mind of the flesh does not - and never
will - constitute one accord in the Kingdom (Spirit). Each individual must have
a revelation of the will of God concerning their part - without exception. It
is only then that the Holy Spirit is able to supernaturally bring the various
members of the Body together in one accord - with a view to the carrying out of
the Fathers highest purposes - corporately.
THE SIMPLE LOGISTICS OF AN EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN THE
OUTPOURING OF GOD'S SPIRIT
As
the faithful children of God are found continually in the place of abiding in a
true spiritual environment in every aspect of life and ministry (beginning with
their own individual walk in the inner chamber) the Spirit of God shall begin
to be poured forth through them - both individually and corporately - to a
degree heretofore not seen in the daily and practical affairs of life. These
are the simple logistics of an "exponential" increase in the
outpouring of God's Spirit throughout the Body of Christ - an outpouring that
will ultimately impact every nation, and in some way (positively or negatively)
every human being walking the face of the earth (positive being defined as
those whose hearts turn to God; negative being defined as those who run further
and deeper into darkness and rebellion).
THE GLORIOUS CHURCH SHALL MAKE AN ONGOING AND
CLEAR STATEMENT OF THE FULNESS OF THE DIVINE WILL FOR MANKIND
It is
a "fool-proof" plan that the Father has formulated for the Glorious
Church in this final hour. In other words, ONLY those who have met the divine
requirement (Luke 10:27), and who have thus sought to abide in holiness - at
all cost to themselves - shall enter into the supernatural rest that will be a
defining characteristic of the true Remnant of God's people in this final hour.
This divine rest is a spiritual position in Christ wherein one has totally
ceased from striving in their own strength. Because of this the Holy Spirit
will be able to operate in "full measure" through them - in anything
from the smallest details of daily life to the great and awesome attacks that will
be launched against even the deepest and darkest strongholds of Satan. These
are the days wherein the spiritual reality of the Kingdom shall now begin to
explode forth through the lives of all those who are abiding in faithfulness -
and the holiness that is its spontaneous result! And, thus, the Glorious Church
shall make an ongoing and clear statement of the fullness of the Divine Will
for mankind - a statement [lovej] so clear and so awesome that only those who
wilfully choose to carry on in their spiritual blindness shall deny.
Let us hear the words of the Father:
"TO THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE MUCH, MUCH MORE
SHALL BE GIVEN; BUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE, THAT WHICH THEY HAVE SHALL BE
TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS MOTIVATIONS OF THEIR
HEART"
...."As
My children receive My wisdom and the revealed knowledge of My Word into their
hearts, it is of extreme importance for them to continue on in My Word - for it
is then and only then that they shall be able to minister My Word in love. It
is only as My love is shed abroad in one's heart that they shall be enabled to
rise above self-seeking - a self-seeking that would cause them to use My wisdom
as a tool for their selfish gain. The key to "perfection" in the
Christian life in this earth is abiding. Indeed, the key to walking in the
fullness of the true Christian life that I have set before each one of My
children, is "continual fellowship" with Me. Many of My children do
not yet have the revelation that it is not "I" but Christ who lives
within them and, thus, they continue to rely upon the "old nature" in
an "attempt" to serve Me. Truly I say to you, this is a time of great
separation within My church! As this judgment moves into full swing those who
truly love Me (and all that they set their hand to) shall be filled with My
glory, while those who remain content in their rebellion shall surely begin to
perish at the hands of Satan! For to those who already have much, much more
shall be given; but to those who have little, that which they have shall be
taken away from them - because of the unrighteous motivations of their
heart"....
"THIS IS THE TIME OF MY GREAT
SEPARATION"
...."It
is certain that all those things that are truly successful in this earth, have
their source in My wisdom; but to those who would lean upon their own
understanding and upon the darkened wisdom of the world even what seems to be
temporarily successful shall surely end in "absolute failure". For
this is the time of My great separation, a separation and judgement which shall
cause "all" to either stand with Me or against Me in all
things"....
...."The
Church must be separated as a "whole", this being the direct result
of an "individual" separation from the world unto My Word"....
"IF MY PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING..."
...."If
My people are not willing to receive a revelation from Me concerning
"any" aspect of My will for their lives then they shall keep
themselves in a position of separation from those who would surely minister the
necessary light needed for them to walk in the "fullness" of the
ministry that I have called them to"....
"MANY OF MY CHILDREN HAVE
VIEWED THE LIFE OF FAITH AS ONE OF UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR - ONE OF SACRIFICE AND
LACK"
...."Many
of My children shall come to the stark realization that all along it was My
will for them to give their lives wholly to Me. But because of their desire to
conform to the things of this world and their ardent desire to reach a level of
comfort from things they could comprehend in their own understanding, many of
My children have viewed the life of faith as one of uncertainty and fear - one
of sacrifice and lack. Have I not said in My Word that I desire obedience more
than sacrifice? Have I not said to them that they are to love the Lord their
God with their whole heart? Have I not said that whatever does not proceed from
faith is sin? Truly I say to you this day, that the day is coming, and now is,
wherein My children will receive from Me only to the degree of their dependence
upon My Word and I say to you that whoever has, to them more shall be given;
and whoever does not have, even what little they have shall be taken away from
them.
"IN THESE LAST DAYS MY SPIRIT IS BEING POURED
FORTH MIGHTILY UPON ALL FLESH"
For
like an eagle, the Evil One comes against My household because they have
transgressed My Covenant and rebelled against My Word! Have I not said in My
Word that those who are strangers to the Covenants of promise are without hope?
For indeed the sole hope of My children is My "revealed" Word - and
if strangers to My Word, then they are left without hope and without Me in this
world; for by a conscious act of their will they have left Me on the outside
looking in and, truly I say to you I shall honor their choice; for in these
last days, each one of My children will be called to make a "quality
decision" from the heart to serve Me; for in these last days My Spirit is
being poured forth mightily upon all flesh, and because of this there will be
great wailing and gnashing of teeth and some of My children will cry out to Me,
"Lord, Lord why have you forsaken us?" And their very words condemn
them, for I have said in My Word that I would never fail nor forsake My
children and truly, truly they will see that it is they who have forsaken Me;
and some will repent and others will perish because of their hard-heartedness,
and their own arrogant pride and the desire to lean on their own understanding
will keep them from being delivered from the destructive snare which the Evil
One has set out for them.
"SOME CONTINUE TO BOW THEIR KNEE
TO SATAN IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THEIR LIFE AND MINISTRY - AND I WILL NOT HAVE
IT!"
For
the Evil One, in his desperation, will strike those of My children who
"allow" themselves to be struck. Did I not make it clear to My
children in My Word the conditions for keeping out from under the curse that
infests this world? Did I not redeem My people from the curse of the Law? Yet
they seek to remain in "friendship" with the world and its systems -
which are decaying and perishing to a greater degree with each passing day.
Some continue to bow their knee to Satan in different areas of their life and
ministry - and I will not have it!
"THEY HAVE CONTINUED - BY THE PROCESS OF MENTAL
ASCENSION - TO TWIST THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO CONFORM TO THEIR OWN SELFISH
DESIRES"
Have
I not said in My Word, "My people perish for lack of knowledge?" Some
perish because they refuse to hear My Word; but woe to the shepherds who are
destroying My flock and driven them away from Me and have not attended to them.
Behold I am about to attend to them for the evil of their deeds! I will raise
up shepherds over My children and they will tend them, and My sheep will hear
My voice and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any
be missing. For too long I have seen many of My children be carried to and fro
by every wind of doctrine. They have continued, by the process of mental
ascension, to twist the words I have spoken to conform to their own selfish
desires. Is it not written, "Do not be deceived for God is not
mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that he will also reap"? I say to
you this day, that the harvest time has arrived, for the consuming fire of My
Spirit shall separate the works of gold, silver and precious stones from the works
of wood, hay and straw and each man's work will become evident - without
exception!"....
"EACH AND EVERY ASSIGNMENT IS UNIQUE TO EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF MY CHILDREN AND THUS EACH AND EVERY ASSIGNMENT CAN ONLY BE
REVEALED TO THEM IN THEIR PERFECT FELLOWSHIP WITH ME"
...."These
days shall bring forth the manifestation of My "perfect order" (true
spiritual authorities in their perfect position within My Church) in the midst
of My people - both individually and corporately. This shall be "initiated"
as each and every one of My faithful and obedient children throughout the
entire earth truly acknowledge Me in "all" their ways that
"I" might direct their paths! As My children are faithful to do this
I shall either confirm their present position as being correct and give them
immediate and further instructions concerning their part in the establishment
of My True Church and/or I shall reveal to them the "delegated
authorities" I have raised up for their "protection" and their
edification (in most cases I shall lead them to My "selected" holy
apostles and prophets) and cause them to enter into "relationship"
with them - in and by My Spirit. These things which I have just spoken have no
"physical boundaries"! Each and every assignment is unique to each
and every one of My children - and thus each and every assignment can only be
revealed to them in their perfect fellowship with Me. I direct this word of
command to all those who truly love Me:
Seek
Me diligently concerning both the "spiritual authorities" I have
raised up for your perfect edification - leading to the fulness of the ministry
that I have called you to - and seek Me diligently concerning your
"specific" part in the establishment of the Local Church!
"I SHALL BRING ALL THOSE WHO TRULY
LOVE ME INTO THEIR PROPER POSITION - BOTH PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY -
REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN OR WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE"
Tell
My children not to take any "preconceived notions" concerning these
things! For as I establish the true Local Church throughout the earth I shall -
at any given time - use whosoever and whatsoever I deem necessary to gain the
"maximum results" I seek in the lives and ministries of My children!
Time and space is of no consequence to Me and, truly I say to you, through My
holy apostles and prophets I shall move with lightning speed throughout the
earth in this final hour and I shall establish My true spiritual authorities in
the midst of My people and I shall bring all those who truly love Me into their
"proper position" - both physically (locationally) and spiritually -
regardless of where they have been or where they thought they should
be"....
"I SHALL BEGIN - AND HAVE ALREADY BEGUN - TO
ESTABLISH GREAT AND GLORIOUS CONNECTIONS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE BODY"
...."I
shall begin - and have already begun - to establish "great" and
"glorious" connections throughout My entire Body and these
"connections" shall go forth in great power to release the
"fulness" of My vision (plan) concerning the "Local Church"
in their particular locality and they shall continue to draw upon the
"anointings" in their midst and in their "continued"
fellowship - in and by My Spirit - they shall never "wane"
(decrease), but rather they shall continually increase and expand, and thus shall
they fulfil entirely and perfectly the "ministry" - both individually
and corporately - that I have anointed them to carry out in this final
hour!"...
"THE SOLE MOTIVATION FOR EVERY ONE OF MY CHILDREN
SHOULD BE THIS ONE THING"
...."The
sole motivation for every one of My children should be this one thing: to love
the Lord their God with all their heart, with all their soul, with all their
strength and with all their mind for it is only in this way that they shall continually
bear "maximum results" (fruit) in all that they are called to
do"....
"I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A REMNANT IN THE EARTH WHO DESIRED NOTHING ELSE BUT TO
DO ALL OF MY WILL"
...."It
is a very high calling which has been placed upon those whom I have called to
the five-fold ministry in this last hour. For I have called and chosen them to
lead My people into the fullness of their inheritance, and into the sinless
perfection that I desire in My Church. Indeed, it shall take a mighty turn
around, for through the past twenty centuries, the multitudes have strayed
farther and farther away from Me. There have only been a "handful"
who have remained faithful and obedient to Me. These "overcomers"
passed down, from each succeeding generation, the knowledge that was revealed
to them by the Holy Spirit. And even though at times it appeared as though the
reality of the Gospel of the Kingdom had become a small and flickering flame -
all but extinguished by the winds of worldly doctrine - nevertheless, I have
always had a "remnant" in the earth who desired nothing else but to
do "all" of My will and now we have reached the end of the age and
truly I say to you "all" that is not of Me shall be torn down and
consumed by the fire of My Spirit. Over nineteen hundred years of scheming by
the Evil One shall be destroyed in a moment's time; for this is the hour
in which I have chosen to reveal My sons and daughters in the earth.
"I
DID NOT CALL MY CHILDREN OUT OF THIS WORLD ONLY FOR THEM TO RETURN AND ALIGN
THEMSELVES WITH SATAN!"
There
are many who would call the lives they live, the Christian life; but truly I
say to you the lives they live no more resemble Me than darkness represents the
day. Everyone who would call themselves Mine will have to repent of any
carnality (unrighteous motivation) that remains within them. The reality of the
new life which I have given them in Christ is a very serious thing! For not
only were all those who would call on the Name of Jesus delivered from the sin
and darkness and death of this "lower" world, but they were
transferred into the Kingdom of My dear Son and equipped to fight the battle of
the ages. I did not call My children out of this world only for them to return
and align themselves with Satan. My wrath burns against those who have hardened
their hearts - those who have refused to break their allegiance with the Evil
One. If they had "any" desire in their heart to obey Me, they would
have "known" the futility of the path that they were on. I have said
before that My mercy endures forever while there is still a seed of repentance
in the heart; but as I look out upon the hearts of many of My children I have
found that "seed" to be lacking and it is certain that as the
judgements which I have already proclaimed upon this world and its ruler are
carried out, they shall be swept along with all those who have made selfishness
and greed their "god". Indeed, it is time to put an end to the
"comfort that kills" amongst My people!"....
"REVELATION KNOWLEDGE SHALL EXPLODE IN THE HEARTS
OF ALL THOSE WHO ARE WHOLLY GIVEN TO ME"
...."As My holy
apostles are sent forth - by Me - into the midst of the congregations of the
righteous, revelation knowledge shall "explode in the hearts of all those
who are wholly given to Me. This shall be a supernatural sign and wonder in the
midst of My people and they shall quickly be elevated and transformed in their
thinking - not only towards Me but also concerning My plans and My purposes for
the establishing of the true local Church. Truly I say to you, as this
apostolic anointing is released there shall be "certain empowerment"
- in and by My Spirit - for all those who have made the decision to live the
life of the Cross and from this position of "death" shall come forth
a great release of resurrection power and the ascension life that is its
spontaneous by-product. And so shall my faithful and obedient ones surely begin
to walk in the fulness of the authority that is theirs in Christ and so shall
the world be both shaken and the mind-sets of men be overturned wherever they
walk. For truly I say to you, I am taking My Love to the highways and bi-ways
and the hidden places of fear - even unto the deepest strongholds of darkness.
And truly I say to you, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the things which I have prepared for those that truly
love Me. And I shall raise up in this hour all those who have humbled
themselves before Me and in the same way shall I humble thoroughly all those
who have exalted themselves - through their words and actions - above My
Word"....

MEDITATIONS ON
THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
+ Jesus
Christ is the minister of the true "tabernacle". The holiest of all
is now open to us: Christ has opened the way through a more perfect tabernacle
into the presence of God. He has prepared and opened up for us a place of
"perfect fellowship" with God, of access, in a life of faith, which
means a life in full union with Christ, into God's immediate presence.
+ How do we
become partakers of the "perfection" with which Christ has perfected
us? First of all, the conscience is perfected so that we have no more
conscience of sin, and enter boldly into the Holiest, the presence of God. The
consciousness of a perfect redemption possesses and fills the soul. And then,
as we abide in this, God Himself perfects us in every good thing to do His
will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ.
Through Christ, the High Priest in the power of the endless life, there comes
to us in a constant stream from on high the power of the heavenly life. So that
day by day we may present ourselves perfect in Christ Jesus.
+ To be
"silent" before God does not mean to be inactive, rather it means to
breathe in the will of God, to listen attentively and be ready to obey. The
time of silence is a time of responsibility, a time when we must answer to God
and to ourselves; but it is also a time of blessedness, because it is a time
when we live in the peace of God.
+ To be sure,
the fire of God's love burns up all that is evil and false in the human heart,
and that causes pain to the flesh. To be silent before God means to be humbled
before God, to feel the pain of contrition; but, beyond all measure, there is
the joy of love and grace.
+ If the Holy
Spirit gives one discernment about a matter, any matter, it is for them to
intercede, not condemn!
+ Whether
financial success will destroy us or not has to do with whether we are thriving
in the "world" or in the "Word of God" [Kingdom]. A man may
accumulate a great deal of money and still not be prosperous. Wealth without a
personal knowledge of God can cause him to have ulcers! The Scriptures promise
that if we will exalt the Word of God, its wisdom will promote us (Proverbs
4:8). That is the difference between prospering in the world and prospering in
the Word [Kingdom].
+ As one
"touches" spiritual reality in this hour many who cross their path
shall be liberated from the power of darkness.
+ A great mystery
surrounds the spiritual experience of a believer. The Lord always gives a
foretaste of the outline of a deeper life before He leads them into the full
experience of it. Many believers mistake their "foretaste" for the
fullness, not realizing that the Lord is just beginning to lead them in.
+ Introspection
and self-consciousness are harmful to spiritual life.

GOLDEN MANNA FROM
THE MOUNT
MANY OF YOU, MY PEOPLE, ARE ASKING FOR DELIVERANCE, BUT YOU ARE NOT RESISTING
SATANS TEMPTATIONS
Bill Burns
bulletin@spiritofprophecy.com
http://ft111.com
Is it
not written, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you"? Many of
you, My people, are asking for deliverance, but you are not resisting Satan's
temptations. Activate your will and fight the good fight of faith, and then I
will join the battle on your behalf, says the Lord. Set your face like flint
against the evil one, and refuse to allow him to sway you from My purposes. If
you will resist you will prevail, victory will be yours, and I will heal you.
Malachi 4:2-3 - But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall
arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like
stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under
the soles of your feet On the day that I do this," Says the LORD of hosts.
I AM LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO WILL DARE TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU CAN BE EXTRAORDINARY
This
is your finest hour and your days of victory. These are the days of the
restoration of all things when I will raise up a glorious army, which will
"run to and fro in the city." You, My army, shall pray into the
heavenlies, for you are My weapons of war. It is written that the kingdoms of
the earth shall become My Kingdom; heaven shall acknowledge it and the earth
will believe it before the seventh trumpet blows, says the Lord. I am looking
for those who will dare to believe that you can be extraordinary. Rise up and
become the Army of the Lord. What is a Captain without an army? I need My army
to manifest upon the earth so that My purposes can be fulfilled. Dare to
believe and then become what I have spoken in these, the days of My glory. I shall
pour out upon those who will establish the spirit of burning, the spirit of
fire. You shall bring forth the spirit of judgment upon the earth, for it is My
intention to take back the land, says the Lord of Hosts. I will use you to tear
down the thrones of the principalities and rulers of darkness. Rise up and go
forth in battle and say, "No more!" No more will you give in to the
enemy, no more will you allow the enemy to run your camp, no more will you
allow him to abide in your house, in your place of work, or in your body. I
will bring victory to every aspect of your life. This I will do if you will
only believe. Rise up and fear no more. Rise up and be what I have called you
to be, says the Lord, for these are your greatest days.
IN A MOMENT YOU SHALL KNOW THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN
THE LAND OF THE LIVING
In
these the days of the overcomer, the Lord of Glory will come. The Lord of
Heaven will come. And He will begin to release resurrection life among His people
such as not been seen since the days of Pentecost. For these are indeed the
days of the restoration of all things.
I come, says the
Lord, are you ready? I come, says the Lord, do you have your arms open wide? I
come, says the Lord, do you have your mouths open with worship and praise? Are
you asking? Are You seeking? Are you Knocking? For surely in this hour I shall
come and tangibly manifest Myself as the wind, as the rain, and as the fire of
the spirit to those who are hungry, to those who are desiring, to those that
want to live in a different place, a place above this world. A place of victory
and a place of power, a place where My Kingdom is established. You will carry
the message of this hour that Christ comes. Lift up you voice for your redemption
draws nigh. I am the Lord of Glory and will manifest Myself in new ways among
My people. Be then a vessel ready to use, be ready to be in season, be ready to
lay hands on the sick, be ready to give a word of encouragement, be ready to
give when I say give. Be ready, for I am the Lord of readiness and I come now
in a flash, in a twinkling of an eye. In a moment you shall know the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living for surely I walk among My chosen ones.

BE SENSITIVE TO POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPANSION
Marsha Burns

http://ft111.com
Be
sensitive to possibilities and opportunities for expansion. I will bring to
your attention doors that you can go through that will result in increase.
Allow Me to direct you to take advantage of your potential to grow. Do not be
afraid to be stretched as you move forward into unfamiliar spiritual territory,
for I am with you every step of the way, says the Lord.
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My
righteous right hand.
BE STEADFAST AND RESOLUTE IN OBEYING MY WORD
To
the faithful, I show myself faithful. So, My people, I call you forth into the
realm of faithfulness, and I admonish you to be loyal to My kingdom purposes.
Be steadfast and resolute in obeying My word. Then, you shall enter the
blessing flow and be prosperous in all that you set your hand to do, for I will
lead you into the land that flows with milk and honey, and I will direct your
steps, says the Lord.
Psalm 1:1-3 - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. but
his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and
night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings
forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever
he does shall prosper.
YOU ARE ON A FAST TRACK TO FULFILLING YOUR DESTINY
You
are on a fast track to fulfilling your destiny. I have gone before you to make
the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth. Let Me lead you in
this well-choreographed dance so that every step you take will be in perfect
rhythm to the sound of My voice. Refuse to be distracted by the chaos that is
around you and the other voices that demand your attention. Stay completely
focused on Me, says the Lord.
Isaiah 40:4 - Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought
low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth.
I WILL CONFIRM ALL THAT YOU HAVE HEARD ME SPEAK
DIRECTLY TO YOUR HEART
I
will confirm all that you have heard Me speak directly to your heart. I will
confirm these words with visions, dreams, and signs, which will bring great
hope and comfort to your heart and strengthen your resolve to stand still and
see My great work in your life and circumstances. Be alert and watch, for
certainly you will find the assurance that what I have spoken I will bring to
pass, says the Lord.
Isaiah 46:11b - Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have
purposed it; I will also do it.
INDEED IT WAS I WHO SPOKE TO YOU SEVEN YEARS AGO ABOUT
THINGS THAT WOULD COME TO PASS IN THESE DAYS
Beloved,
I have given you great and precious promises. Indeed it was I who spoke to you
seven years ago about things that would come to pass in these days, and you
have wondered if these promises would ever produce fruit. Yet, now you will
begin to see the signs that I have been working these things out in ways that
you have not recognized. Get ready now to both recognize and receive what I
have promised, says the Lord.
2 Peter 1:2-8 - Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God
and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that
pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by
glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious
promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this
very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue
knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to
perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly
kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE FATHER'S VISION AND PLAN FOR THE GLORIOUS (LOCAL) CHURCH
PART THREE
...."that He might
sanctify her, having cleansed her the the washing of water with the Word, that
He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or
wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless"....
Ephesians 5:26-27
THE "TRUE STRUCTURING" OF
THE LOCAL CHURCH
These are amazing times
in which the Father is not setting out too many "long range" plans as
far as the true structuring of the (local) Church goes. In these precious and
holy days it falls upon EVERY last member of the Body of Christ Universal to
daily enter into that place of true and intimate fellowship with the Father and
His Word - and in that place receive from the Throne Room the life and the
light necessary for them to continually fulfil their "distinct" part
in the building up of the Body in love. The Father is calling forth all of His
beloved children and revealing to their heart the great importance of every
last "member" of the Body. For the "glorious mystery" (the
manifold wisdom of God) is about to be revealed to the "rulers and the
authorities in the heavenly places" - through the Church - in ways and
power that have heretofore not been seen! This is truly a time like no other
before it and from here on out nothing means anything except that one be found
abiding in the center of the Father's will.
A TIME OF
WAITING DILIGENTLY (IN OBEDIENCE) FOR THE FATHER TO "UNFOLD" THE
FULLNESS OF THE SCOPE OF HIS PLAN
I perceive that the
Father is about to take things to the "next level" as far as
leadership goes in the establishing of the True Church. This whole plan of the
Father concerning the establishment of the true local Churches is much simpler
than most understand it to be and that is precisely why the
"religious" (those who still maintain ANY element of self-desire and
self-agenda) will miss it completely! The Father is beginning to establish the
perfect "spiritual environments" throughout the Body of Christ in the
midst of all those whose hearts are wholly given. It is simply a time of
waiting diligently (in obedience) for the Father to "unfold" the
fulness of the scope of His plan and really seeking to be in the "proper
position" at all times. It is this proper positioning that allows one to
receive the fulness of His provision at all times - in order that there be no
delays in the most excellent building up of His Glorious Church.
THOSE WHO ARE "TRULY WILLING" SHALL BE
"ELEVATED" INTO THE DEEPER THINGS OF GOD IN THIS TIME
It is certain that, in this last hour, we must ALL
continually guard our hearts with ALL diligence in order that we might not only
be found standing against the vile and slanderous attacks of the Evil One and
his forces, but also that we might be found "always" in the perfect
position to deliver the perfect word to the perfectly prepared (by the Lord)
"vessel' that is brought across our path by the Holy Spirit. In our
remaining time in this dispensation we shall be a Church that
"elevates" - spirit, soul, body and financially - every heart and
every situation and circumstance that we are confronted with as we "abide"
in the paths of righteousness. In other words those in the "world"
and the church who - up until this time - have been bound up by demonic
influence and control will now be "lifted up above" their
"situation" as they forsake the stubbornness and pride that had
"allowed" Satan great inroads into their lives.
EVERY LAST CAPTIVE WHO TRULY "DESIRES" TO BE
SET FREE WILL BE SET FREE IN THIS LAST OF THE LAST HOUR
The Father told me that every last captive who
truly "desires" to be set free - regardless of the bondage or
infirmity - will be set free in this last of the last hour [Acts 2:21]. But He
also solemnly (sadly) expressed the fact that many would continue to
"maintain" an element of "self-desire" and refuse His many,
many loving "overtures" to forsake "all" to follow Him. He
stated that - because of the "principle of lawlessness"
(rebellion-disobedience) being foolishly nurtured in their heart - they would
"perish" at the hand of Satan and his forces, in spite of an
"apparent" prosperity and spirituality. The Lord spoke to me of a
certain man who would enter the hospital for a minor procedure (tonsillitis)
and die there - having been ravaged by deadly "spirits of cancer" -
helpless to stand against them because his "house" (life and
ministry) had been build on "sand", and when the "strong
storm" moves in on him he will be "defenseless" and death - and
the spirits thereof - will overcome him. This is but one example the Lord
showed me but it is safe to say that now is the time to repent of any
"activity" that is apart from the "revealed" Word of God,
and the unction of the Holy Spirit!
THE CONFLICT OF THE KINGDOMS -
BOTH ABSOLUTE AND FINAL
We must continue to pray
for all those in our sphere of activity whose "house" (life and
ministry) remains rooted and grounded in pride - and the self-exaltive activity
it perpetuates - for the time to act in a life (and ministry) saving repentance
is short for many. The combination of the words of our mouth coming to pass in
an ever accelerating degree - one way or the other (faith or fear; life or
death) - and the deepest motivations of one's heart becoming focused and ever
stronger - one way or the other (pro-Christ and His Glorious Kingdom and Church
or anti-Christ and pro the kingdom of this "present world" and the
darkness [counterfeit "light"] that consumes its every thought and
action) shall truly bring into manifestation in "every" sphere and
realm the beginning of the absolute and final conflict between the Kingdom of
God and the kingdom of darkness. Satan and his forces shall be both continually
"terrorized" and devastated by the True Church of the Lord Jesus
Christ for the remainder of "Her time" in the earth. It will be an
abiding and absolute "victory after victory" as the
"overcomers" go forth consumed by the Glory of God. But this one
thing is certain: it will take an "absolute" and continual commitment
and deep consecration on our part for us to finish the task perfectly.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOD'S HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS
Through divine
revelation given to His apostles and prophets the Father is going to unfold the
"depths" of His plan for the Church in this last hour and as He does
- and the people of God receive "all" that He has for them - then the
aforementioned "religious spirits", who for centuries have had their
own way, shall be "brought down" by the "absolute" faith
and obedience exercised by all those whose hearts are wholly given to God in
the carrying out of His most holy purposes. With a view to these things the
Father is going to raise up "environments" wherein those who are
called to the ministry may go and be separated entirely unto God and His Word
for a "season" and receive anointed ministry that shall prepare them
perfectly to enter into the fulness of the ministry that God has called them
to. These "environments" shall produce "wave after wave" of
bondservants and handmaidens filled with a deep revelation of who they truly
are in Christ, and in having this clear revelation of the fulness of their
inheritance in Christ they shall go forth and lead all those God has given to
them for the purposes of ministry into the fulness of their inheritance in
Christ. As one can plainly see this will wreak havoc on Satan and all his
forces and the Glorious Church shall become a "physical" reality
throughout the earth. It is the responsibility of God's holy apostles and
prophets to help bring His people to the "knowledge" of the fullness
of their inheritance in Christ, that is, the fulness of their salvation. It is
their responsibility to both receive it and walk in it!
IT IS THE TIME OF THE "PARADIGM SHIFT OF ALL
PARADIGM SHIFTS"!
The entire time from
here on in will be so far beyond what has - up until this time - passed for
"acceptable" in the church that we MUST allow the Father to enlarge
our hearts and renew our minds - day in and day out - in His presence! Just the
"financial situation" alone in the Church will be so glorious that it
will soon move us far beyond our "normal comprehension" of things.
Add to this the "explosion" of revelation knowledge and wisdom and
the fact that we will know ALL that is going on before us and one can
"begin" to see that not only will this be an extremely enjoyable and
blessed time for all those abiding in faithfulness and obedience to the will of
the Father - but also that the Devil and his forces are in BIG, BIG TROUBLE!
All my love in the Anointed One
and His Anointing
