THE MINISTRY LETTER 2007 ISSUE 19

To all handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:

IT IS CERTAIN THAT IN THESE DAYS EVERY TRUE, SEEKING CHRISTIAN MUST CONTINUALLY ALLOW THEIR HEART TO BE ENLARGED AND THEIR MIND EXPANDED CONCERNING THE DEEPER THINGS OF THE KINGDOM

As the Christian enters in to the "inner chamber" daily a distinct renewing of the mind takes place - a renewing that will take one far above the world and its ways. This continued renewal of the mind will replace every previous mind-set with a revelation of the true Kingdom-life and positioning that is theirs in Christ. In coming into this place of conformity with the deepest desires of the Father's heart comes also a spontaneous manifestation in daily life of His perfect empowerment in ALL things. It is certain that in these days every true, seeking Christian must continually allow their heart to be enlarged and their mind expanded concerning the deeper things of the Kingdom and the Father's plan for the establishment of the Glorious (Local) Church throughout the earth.

THE FATHER, IN THIS HOUR, IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH VERY QUICKLY WHATEVER HE DESIRES TO ESTABLISH CONCERNING THE CORPORATE CHURCH THROUGHOUT THE EARTH

As the children of God come into that place of abiding in holiness (faith-love-obedience) Satan and his schemes will not be able to stand against them - or before them - as they go forth in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit in this final hour. Another element of this place of abiding in holiness is that one shall be found to have no ground remaining within them from which Satan could speak or act through them via some form of "religious spirit" - or indeed any other evil spirit seeking to hinder the establishment of the True Church. Because of these things the Father, in this hour, is going to be able to establish very quickly whatever He desires to establish concerning the corporate Church throughout the earth. It is the deepest desire of the Father's heart to see the Glorious Church established in each and every nation for it is only a "glorious" Church that will represent Him perfectly - continually exalting the name of Jesus to the greatest degree, devastating Satan to the greatest degree and blessing (empowering) to the greatest degree all those whose heart is truly towards Him.

IF THE DEEPEST DESIRE IN THE HEART OF THE CHRISTIAN IS NOT TO FULFIL THEIR DESTINY IN CHRIST WITH PERFECT ACCURACY THEN THEY NEED TO REPENT IMMEDIATELY!

What keeps one from "falling away from the living God"? Drawing near to Him! As one takes a step in faith and obedience toward Him THEN, the scripture tells us, He will draw near to us. When the Father says that He will draw near to us then it is certain that He will draw near to us and reveal Himself to us in the manner that we need to fulfil our destiny in Christ - whatever that may be. If the deepest desire in the heart of the Christian is not to fulfil their destiny in Christ with perfect accuracy then they need to repent immediately! The reality of our very existence as born-again children of God is that we were bought with a GREAT PRICE - that we might NO LONGER live for ourselves to ANY degree and that we might come into that glorious place of abiding in the Kingdom even though we still "physically" walk this earth.

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE FATHER AND HIS WORD AND IT PRODUCES A DEEP AND DIVINE ASSURANCE THAT CANNOT BE OVERCOME FROM THE "OUTSIDE"

Revelation knowledge comes from the presence of the Father and His Word and it produces a deep and divine assurance that cannot be overcome from the "outside". Every scheme which Satan attempts to lure the Christian from the narrow path comes from the "outside". While it is certain that one can "allow" him to influence their heart, if one will guard their heart with ALL diligence - thus keeping it sensitive before God then they will easily combat the schemes of the Enemy against their mind by bringing every thought captive to the revelation that abides within them. The time has come for EVERY Christian to come to a deep and clear realization of who they truly are in Christ because it is certain that to the degree they "know" Jesus as Lord that their eyes will be opened to see the absolute defeat that was perpetrated upon Satan and all of his forces at Calvary. Without this revelation in this hour it is certain that many shall succumb to the wiles of the Evil One at great and devastating cost - both to themselves personally and concerning their calling!

ONLY THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL - THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GOD FROM THE PLACE OF A HEART WHOLLY GIVEN - CAN PARTAKE OF THIS WONDROUS UNFOLDING OF THE "MYSTERIES" OF THE CHURCH AND KINGDOM

These are the days in which the "fullness of time" is going to unfold to a continually greater degree and we must be a people who are ready. It is most certain that we have no excuse to be anything less than the fulness of who we are in Christ! For many years now revelation knowledge concerning the true plan of the Father for this final hour has come forth, but it is certain that only those who are faithful - those who truly love God from the place of a heart wholly given - can partake of this wondrous unfolding of the "mysteries" of the Church and Kingdom. Indeed, ONLY those who "maintain" a pure heart shall be found in position continually to receive perfect empowerment (have divine sight) in all things. Let it be CLEARLY understood that in this last of the last hour ONLY those who are rooted and grounded in love will be able to comprehend both the magnificence and magnitude of the manifested presence of God that is about to rest upon His faithful ones with a view to impacting the entire earth!

Let us hear the words of the Father:

                                                "I AM COMING TO YOU AT A TIME SOONER THAN YOU COULD COMPREHEND"

...."It shall come to pass in these very last days that mankind shall seek their answers in the wisdom of the world to such a great extent, that their eyes shall be blinded, and despite tremendous manifestations of My power they will not see because of the hardness of their hearts. Many of My children shall worship Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. In reality, they seek only to satisfy their own selfish lusts and desires without thought or concern for My Word. But many shall repent and turn from their evil ways and seek only My face; and they shall be prepared as vessels unto My glory; and in a short while I shall see before Me, My beloved Bride, full of glory, perfect in every way; My Church - spotless and unblemished. Truly, truly I say to you My children I am coming to you at a time sooner than you could "comprehend". Only stay close to My heart and each one of you shall be prepared for that day and in that blessed day all of Heaven shall rejoice"....

"HOW CAN THEY FELLOWSHIP WITH ME THE WAY I DESIRE THEM TO FELLOWSHIP WITH ME UNLESS THEY THINK THE WAY THAT I THINK?"

...."Each and every one of My children need to continually cast aside the fleeting feelings of their flesh and renew their minds and establish their hearts in My Word. For how can they fellowship with Me the way I desire them to fellowship with Me unless they think the way I think? How can they understand My ways when they persist in their own understanding?

"I HAVE A SUPERNATURAL ABHORRENCE FOR ALL THAT PROCEEDS FROM EVIL"

Many whom I have chosen for great accomplishment in the establishment of My Kingdom in the earth have resisted My blessing and My direction which I have continually placed before them. It is certain that I have a "supernatural" abhorrence for all that proceeds from evil and it is the time for each and every one of My children to choose their allegiance: will their fellowship with the world and its ways continue or will they separate themselves wholly unto Me? For I desire only pure and simple devotion to My Word. Many of My children struggle in the area of sin because of their reluctance to let go of the things of this world; and because of the evil intent of their hearts, they make their inheritance which was bought for them with the Blood of My dear Son, of no consequence, and they grumble and complain of the hardness of the life of faith. Is not the life of faith, one of rest and blessing, prosperity and abundance in all? Surely I will honor and exalt those of My children who are not ashamed to confess Me in all that they do, by their words and actions. Surely I will bring to a place of prominence, both in My Church and in the eyes of the world, those who "refuse to violate" the law of love above all else"....

NO FLESH - OR ANY MANIFESTATION THEREOF - SHALL STAND IN THE PRESENCE OF MY GLORY!

Hold fast My beloved handmaidens and bondservants! Do not be moved by what you perceive through your physical senses; for I am about to do a great thing amongst you. Do not be moved from your position of steadfastness. Take the authority that has been given to you and tread upon the Evil One at every turn, for the days of "misrepresentation" are over and it is the time of the revelation in the earth of My sons and daughters. I say to you this day that the traditions and the doctrines, which have hardened the hearts of My people, shall "melt as wax in the sun" - for nothing which proceeds from evil is able to stand before the Word of My power.  Truly, truly I say to you My day has arrived! Blow the trumpet in Zion! Go forth and proclaim the deepest revelations of My Word unashamedly. Do not fear the taunts of men for the words you shall speak shall melt the hardness of their hearts and render them powerless. No "flesh" - or any manifestation thereof - shall stand in the presence of My glory!"....

 "IT PRODUCES PEACE AND REST, AND A CLARITY DEEP WITHIN THEM THAT GUIDES THEM STEP BY STEP - IN A PERFECT OBEDIENCE"

...."Every time that one of My children launches out into "Plan B" (leans upon their own understanding) it "initiates" a flurry of fleshly activity (self-effort) in order to perpetuate the aforementioned "Plan B". Whereas, when one of My children continually acknowledges Me in all their ways and I am, therefore, able to reveal My plan (Plan A) to them in any given situation, it produces peace and rest, and a "clarity" deep within them that guides them step by step - in perfect obedience!"....

"THOSE WHOSE HEART IS ONE WITH ME SHALL SENSE AND KNOW (PERCEIVE) THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR"

...."Those whose hearts are "one" with Me shall sense and know (perceive) the lateness of the hour. Therefore, let each one of My children heed the voice of My Spirit and act in "perfect" obedience, in order that all of the work I have purposed be done, and after a short while I will raise you up with Me and you shall live in My presence forever"....

...."There have always been "attempts" to silence the voices of the prophets and there always will be until the Evil One reaches his final destiny"....

"PEOPLE WILL SOON SEE THAT IF THEY REJECT YOUR WORD, THEY WILL BE DEVOID OF BLESSING AND THOSE WHO HEARKEN TO MY VOICE SHALL BE BLESSED GREATLY"

...."As you speak to My people it makes no difference whether they shout for joy or are offended at the words you speak. For it is I who have given you the words to speak and in rejecting you they have rejected Me. This is why I told My disciples as they entered into the various villages and cities, to shake even the dust of that place from their feet if they were rejected; but if their word was accepted My blessing came upon that place. So it is with you, for people will soon see that if they reject your Word, they will be devoid of blessing and those who hearken to My voice shall be blessed greatly. Therefore you see My beloved ones, that this process of separation (chaff and wheat) shall not take long to complete"....

"PRACTICE LISTENING TO MY VOICE AT EVERY TURN"

...."My children, if you will listen closely to the voice of My Spirit in every situation you encounter, you will soon forget any concern you might have for what other people might think. For in waiting on Me, every word you speak shall bless the hearer whether they realize it at the time or not. It is for this reason that Satan attempts to cause My children to react quickly, relying only on their feelings of the moment. This is why, as you pause and wait on Me, the abundance of My Word will flow forth suddenly as the Spirit wills; but I say to you "practice listening" to My voice at every turn; for in doing so you will be greatly blessed (empowered) - and because of this you will be a great blessing (empowerment) to all who cross your path"....

...."As the minds of My children are renewed to My Word, they will surely grow to love Me more and more. For one must build a capacity for My Spirit to dwell within the temple" and indeed My love shall be shed abroad in their heart - and through them that Love shall be poured out on all flesh"....

...."Prophecies confirm and "expand" (multiply) My Word and all "true" prophecy is a perfect extension My Word!"....

                 "THEY SHALL CONTINUALLY REJOICE AND STAND IN AWE OF THE HOLY DESTRUCTION THAT I WRECK UPON SATAN!"

...."All those whose hearts are wholly given to Me shall have a perfect witness concerning the things that I have expressed to My holy apostles and prophets in this hour. Because as they continually abide in faith (love) they will have trained and disciplined themselves to bring every thought captive to My Word - and to a perfect obedience. And thus, they have not "allowed" themselves to be overwhelmed by the manifestation of evil in the world, and not only have they not been overwhelmed, but they remain steadfast - hearts filled to overflowing with love. Truly I say to you - as the aforementioned manifestations of the outpouring of My Spirit begin to happen they shall not be "surprised" in any way - and in superabundant joy they shall continually rejoice and stand in awe of the "holy destruction" that I wreck upon Satan! For truly I say to you, I shall cause great havoc in the midst of Satan and his forces, and My people - in pursuing and overtaking the Evil One in their perfect obedience - shall recover "all" that He has stolen from them in the past. Truly I say to you, this last generation of My Church shall gain back not only that which has been stolen from them, but also that which has been stolen - and never been recovered - from every previous generation of My Church. And with these resources they shall win vast multitudes to Jesus - and not just "to" Jesus but to the place where they are "in" Christ and Christ (and the "fulness" of My Spirit) is within them. And thus shall My glorious Church continually grow and My glory shall expand to such a great degree that the resurrection power abiding within them - in one moment of time - shall cause them to be lifted up to meet Me in the sky".....

"AS LONG AS MY CHILDREN MAINTAIN ANY MANIFESTATION OF THE MIND-SET WHICH EMBRACES A CHEAP GRACE THEN THEY SHALL SURELY BE FOUND DENYING THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS TO SOME DEGREE!

...."As long as My children "maintain" any manifestation of the "mind-set" which embraces a "cheap grace" then they shall surely be found denying the precious Blood of Jesus to some degree! If My children truly have a revelation of the "price" that was paid at Calvary in order to provide them with their glorious inheritance in Christ then they would not dare to "undermine" it in any way! In essence, the purveyors of "cheap grace" say, in their heart, "we are "lowly sinners" and therefore we "must" sin! But it does not matter because our God will forgive us!" Truly I say to you, this is simply a convenient excuse for one to continually lean upon their own understanding and maintain control of their "own" life. One who has a revelation of My grace states in their heart, "By the precious Blood of Jesus we have been delivered from a "sin-consciousness" - and from the consciousness of sin - and we have been bought with a great price in order that we might no longer live for ourselves but for Him Who died and rose again on our behalf!"....

.... The maintenance of self-desire (self-agenda) produces an ever deepening hardness of heart....

JESUS:

...."John, My apostle, had a keen desire to know the truth, not just for the sake of knowing, but rather, he knew that My words were the "key" to knowing Me more intimately. I marvelled all through My earthly ministry at his intense desire to love Me with a pure heart - devoid of human understanding and apart from any worldly motive. In this last hour I am seeking those of like spirit - for it is through these ones that I shall turn the whole world upside down. I know your heart, My beloved ones, better than you - even more than you could imagine in your "renewed mind"; for I know to what degree you will be used and even though you feel that you hinder Me, in reality, you gave given all for Me. Fear nothing for you know what you must do for your part - guard your heart with all diligence - and you must know that I shall surely do My part. In this final hour we shall walk this earth together as one, destroying the lies and traditions which have caused great harm to My people. Do not hinder Me, by taking thought of any "limitations" in the natural for we are not bound by the physical. Many of My people believe they are, but they are deceived!"....

MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:

+ It is a law of the "world" that there can never be rest and satisfaction there. There no passion will ever be completely stilled. Every satisfaction has planted within itself that which drives beyond that which has been achieved. The rich person wants to become richer, the mighty one mightier. The reason for this is that in the world there is never anything completely whole, so that each success, no matter how great, is only a partial success. If it is possible for there to be rest and silence anywhere, then it is only possible where there is wholeness, and that is only in God. All human strivings and drives are finally directed towards God and can only find their complete satisfaction in Him.

+ It is true that the Adversary of souls resists the message of the Cross in every aspect, but all the powers of darknessl are aroused to prevent the believer's knowledge of the victory of Calvary over the prince of darkness and his evil hosts, for on the earth-ward side of the Cross, the subtle foe often persuades even true children of God that he does not exist at all; or else he magnifies his power, and holds them in thraldom to habits of sin, deluding them into belief that there is no deliverance on this side of the grave.

+ In service for God many Christians are wielding carnal weapons, of no avail against the real foe. Others are filled with earnest plans, and labour with heart and soul to win the masses to their Lord; but behind and around is the evil one, and the real but unseen hosts of wickedness, who laugh at every weapon of the flesh, and fear naught but the power of the finished work of Christ, when manifested by the Holy Spirit, through men and women who have become in very truth crucified messengers of a Crucified Lord. Since this is so, we do not marvel that the prince of darkness hates the Cross; spares no effort to nullify its message: hides its full meaning from the children of God, and hesitates at nothing to keep them from knowing its power.

+ The perfecting of the believer by God, restoring them to their right condition to fit them for doing His will, may be instantaneous. A valuable piece of machinery may be out of order. The owner has spent time and trouble in vain to put it right. The maker comes; it takes him but a moment to see and remove the hindrance. And so the soul that has for years wearied itself in the effort to do God's will may often in one moment be delivered from misapprehension as to what God demands or promises, and find itself restored, perfected for every good thing. And what was done in a moment becomes the secret of the continuous life, as faith each day claims the God that perfects to do that which is well-pleasing in His sight. The soul that dares to say to God that it yields itself in everything to do His will, and through all the humiliation which comes from the sense of emptiness and impotence abides by its vow in simple trust, will be made strong to rise and to appropriate and experience in full measure what God has offered in this precious word: "The God of peace perfect you in every good thing to do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ." And it will sing with new meaning and in fullness of joy the song of adoring love: to Him be glory forever and ever."

+ Christ, if we may say it reverently, became mystically a babe again on the day of Pentecost, and the one hundred and twenty were His infantile body, as once more through the Holy Spirit He incarnated Himself in flesh. Now He is growing and increasing in His members and so will He continue to do until we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. The glorified Christ manifests Himself to man through His Body. If there is a perfect correspondence between Himself and His members, then there will be a true manifestation of Himself. Therefore does the Spirit abide in the Body, that the Body may be "in-Christed", that is, indwelt by Christ and transfigured into the likeness of Christ. Only thus as a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people can it show forth the virtues of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light.

+ The Word of God pierces every false god, pride and the rebellious hardness of men's hearts.

+ God's purpose is that His children are to be delivered wholly from the "old creation" and are to enter fully into the "new creation". No matter how the old creation may appear to man, it is utterly condemned by God!

+ It is very easy for us to say this is of the Spirit and that is of the "flesh"; but do we not know that we ourselves are no exception? Truth is given to set people free, not to find fault. In criticizing we prove ourselves to be not one bit less "soulish" or carnal than the "criticized one". The danger is most serious; consequently we need to exercise great caution!

Little children, if you could but see. If you could see with eyes of vision the future that I have for you. If you could perceive the destiny that I have for you. If you could understand that even before the beginning of time it was purposed in My Father's heart to bring you forth in glory and cause you to walk in places that you have not experienced. Do not be afraid, for I shall indeed give you hind's feet that you may climb upon the high mountains and come up to the Mountain of the Lord. You have heard that this is your greatest hour, and it is so. But, the enemy is raging against you, and you have endured times of warfare that have weakened you and caused you to doubt and even to despair. But, I say that if you will call on Me I will renew in you a strong and healthy spirit. So, arise in this moment and find new life. Arise and receive the favor of your Father. Forget those things which are behind, and press toward the mark of the high calling of My Father's purpose for you and you alone. Come today and lift up your voice in praise. Lift up your voice with thanksgiving, for you shall surely be renewed, says the Lord God.

Just as deep calls to deep, My Spirit calls to your spirit to come up higher. I have gone before you to prepare a place, a new plateau in the spirit realm where you will know Me and experience My presence as never before. Quiet your soul; do you hear the cry of the Spirit? Do you feel the stirring within you? I am the Way-maker, says the Lord, and I have set a path before you. So now, come. Move to the sound of My leading, you who have ears to hear!

Psalms 42:7  ....Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls....

SET YOURSELF NOW TO WAIT PATIENTLY FOR MY WISDOM AND DIRECTION BEFORE ANY MAJOR EXERTION OF TIME, ENERGY OR FINANCES

You are now coming into the early stages of preparation for a new spiritual year, which will be another step up in terms of covenant, revelation and blessing. But, this new plateau will also require a greater level of commitment. The gift of discernment will be vital to the success of every endeavor. Set yourself now to wait patiently for My wisdom and direction before any major exertion of time, energy, or finances. Any undertaking that is motivated by your fleshly desires instead of My Spirit will produce disappointment, says the Lord Most High.

Luke 12:48b   ....For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more....

THE TIME OF WAITING IS NEARLY OVER

Beloved, there have been many hindrances in moving through this current order of things, and you still have things that are pending. But, I tell you that the time of waiting is nearly over. Keep pressing on and pushing through and then there will be a sudden breakthrough when everything will seem to fall into place at once. And, you will know that your efforts have not been in vain, nor have your prayers gone unheard or unanswered, says the Lord.

Isaiah 46:9-10   ....Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure'....

STEP INTO A PLACE OF RENEWED COMMITMENT TO YOUR COVENANT WITH ME

Prepare your heart and make a decision to step into a place of renewed commitment to your covenant with Me. Renew your vows of consecration and come away with Me, My beloved. Let us have a time of sweet communion together. Sever your ties to the past and leave behind everything that would hinder your spiritual freedom, for you are entering a year of devotion that will bring forth and reveal the divine excellence of your character, says the Lord.

Romans 5:1-5   ....Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us....

I WILL SHOW YOU WONDERS IN HEAVEN ABOVE AND SIGNS IN THE EARTH BENEATH

I will show you wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, but you must be careful not to worship My signs and wonders. To do so would amount to idolatry and would result in being removed from My presence. Your worship and praise and glory must be given to your Father in Heaven. Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Joel 2:26   ....You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame....

ASK FOR WISDOM AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY TO MAKE QUALITY DECISIONS

Make time to take a quick inventory of where you are both spiritually and physically so that you can prepare yourself to optimize the benefits of the new spiritual year that is now beginning. Cut your losses short by letting go of those things that have hindered and are likely to continue to hinder your growth and freedom in the days ahead. Ask for wisdom as often as necessary to make quality decisions, says the Lord.

Proverbs 4:12   ....When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble....

THE FATHER'S VISION AND PLAN FOR THE GLORIOUS (LOCAL) CHURCH

[CONCLUSION]

  TRUE ACCOUNTABILITY

          There is nothing wrong with accountability to other saints - as long as one has a deep and burning revelation in their heart that ALL true accountability begins and ends before the face of the Father and His Word in the Throne Room, and as long as the saints mentioned are being led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. From this position of abiding - and also seeking first the Kingdom - our "accountability" then becomes the spontaneous by-product of a heart wholly given to the will of God and, thus, as the Holy Spirit flows in the midst of the congregations of the righteous, every word and every action "automatically" becomes accountable in the presence of God. The problem - up until this time - has been that "flesh and blood" has attempted to be accountable to each other while not walking in and by the Holy Spirit. This has produced mass chaos in the midst of the congregations and has led to many, many situations wherein the "blind are leading (and following) the blind" - entirely controlled and bound by a spirit of idolatry. Agreement and acceptance of each other of any kind in the "flesh" has no relevance or standing in the Kingdom of God!

"FIXED ORGANIZATION"

          The Father does not desire fixed "organization" in the midst of His People. The term "fixed organization" simply refers to the spirits of control that have been "allowed" to influence many in positions of authority in the Church. These spirits breed fear and control and cause the one being held captive to - in their fear and blindness - "control" the people of God, and the entire environment surrounding them. This of course continually quenches and grieves the Holy Spirit and precludes all in that "darkened" environment from entering into the Kingdom - and causing them to remain in some form of "religious bondage". This is precisely why vast multitudes of congregations have a "knowledge" of the truth, but continually deny the very power and light which would cause them to be "effective" vessels of the Living Christ. The chief aim of Satan and his forces is to keep the children of God out of the place of agreement (one accord) - which is the place of power! If he can keep the children of God from the "true" spiritual environment that the Father desires - an environment wherein revelation knowledge is continually coming forth - then he can keep all those held captive in "agreement" on things which are NOT in alignment with the revealed will (Word) of God. The bottom line is that there will be NO self-effort in the establishing of the "spotless and unblemished" Church. Whatever is not of Christ will not stand as the fire of the Holy Spirit is poured forth in this hour. Hence the extreme importance of all those who truly love God entering - in and by the Holy Spirit - into the "proper position" that has already been prepared for them.

THE ALL-SUFFICIENCY OF THE FATHER VS. SELF-SUFFICIENCY

          Every child of God must come to the place - in and by the Holy Spirit - wherein they find their "all-sufficiency" in the Father and His Word. A spirit of "self-sufficiency" (continually leaning upon one's own understanding) and a spirit of "self-desire" ALWAYS seeks its own way, and ALWAYS "settles" for that which gratifies the soulish nature. This is one of the chief snares of the Evil One to keep God's children from entering into the fulness of their precious inheritance in Christ - and it can be very subtle. This is precisely why one must enter into the "inner chamber" in order that the perfect love of the Father might continually be found to be exposing and casting out ALL ground of fear - and the ungodly attachments and dependencies that it produces AS LONG AS IT REMAINS.

THE END OF THE "PLATEAU-MENTALITY"

          It has always been the scheme of the Evil One to stop every new movement of God over the years by attempting to move those who began in the Spirit to come into a reliance on their own understanding. This again refers back to a "fixed organization". If he can cause the people of God to put their own hand on the work of God then they will "plateau" - and thus stop allowing the fulness of the Father's plan to unfold. The only way that this can be prevented is for one to continue allowing the Holy Spirit to do the deepest work of the Cross. The thing that Satan is most afraid of is believers coming in the place of "power" - because that very power is going to be specifically directed towards the TOTAL destruction of his strongholds. The Father is raising up a remnant who are going to go all the way to the very end of this dispensation doing NOTHING apart from Christ and, thus, they will transcend this "plateau-mentality" that has plagued every move of God since the birth of the Church at Pentecost.

"THE MAIN THING THAT THE FATHER DESIRES IS INTIMACY"

          In this last of the last hour the Father is not setting long range plans to the structure of the true local churches. The main thing that the Father desires concerning His children is "intimacy" with Him. It was the reason He created mankind, and it is the essence of ALL things pertaining to the Kingdom and the establishment of the Glorious Church. It is a "fool proof" plan because only those with a pure heart shall "see" and understand the heart of the Father in this last hour. As each believer abides in revelation and refuses to deviate from their own path - as directed by the Holy Spirit - the Glorious Church will arise. We will be a Church that lives and moves and has our being in Christ - totally controlled and empowered in ALL things by the power (love) of God. The call is for each individual believer to enter into the "inner chamber" and seek a revelation of their "proper positioning". This will lead them to the place wherein they shall be "gloriously connected" with others in the Body of Christ by the hand of the Father, and from this point all things will begin to unfold in their life and ministry - according to His most holy purpose. If anyone does not have a "deep assurance" in their heart that they are in the "proper position" - both spiritually and locationally - then it is extremely important for them to draw near to the Father and His Word and seek Him with all of their heart, for the hour is very, very late! As the Father continues to unfold His plan all those who truly love Him must just continue waiting expectantly and diligently, and they shall SURELY know what to do and when. We shall be a Church that goes from revelation to revelation, faith to faith and glory to glory from here on in! In the days ahead there shall be many more environments established by the Father - ranging from "cities of refuge" to "environments" (schools) of the Holy Spirit - or both, in any given location, and they shall continually meet the deepest needs of the people in the carrying out of their part in the establishment of the Glorious Church - and the Kingdom.

"BRINGING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE"

          Bringing every thought captive to a revelation of the Word is a key to maintaining the walk of faith and love. One brings every thought captive not just by "thinking" the revelation of the Word, but by SPEAKING it out. When the mouth speaks, the mind ALWAYS has to stop and listen to what it is saying and eventually - as we are diligent in this practice - the mind is renewed in every area and we are transformed into the image of Christ in our inner man. Once again the key is the "inner chamber". Proper and constant fellowship with the Father and His Word will cause "godly desire" to continually override "self-desire", and from this place of abiding comes the exhortation of the apostle John which states, "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask WHATEVER you desire and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7).

IN THE REMAINING TIME IN THIS DISPENSATION THE FATHER IS GOING TO BRING TO PASS ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN HIS WORD CONCERNING THE CHURCH

          The Father has brought "us" to this place now - having established many things previously - both individually and corporately - that will affect us in the days ahead as far as our service to Him goes. One thing is certain: This is the last generation of the Church Age - and thus the greatest responsibility that there has ever been over the past two thousand years falls upon those who would call themselves "Christians". There are many great and glorious things to happen in the days ahead that one cannot read about in any newspaper - or in most "Christian writings" for that matter. Simply put, in the remaining time in this dispensation the Father is going to bring to pass all that is written in His Word concerning the Church. All of the years of training wherein those who truly love God have learned (and are still learning) to walk in an absolute faith have been for this time that has even now begun to manifest in the earth.

THROUGHOUT MANY CENTURIES THE FATHER AND JESUS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY "MISREPRESENTED" BEFORE THE MULTITUDES - BUT THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE IN A VERY RADICAL WAY!

          He has ALWAYS had a glorious plan, but men - in their pride and "good intentions" - took matters into their own hands, with a lot of help from the Devil. Since the birth of the church in the 1st century A.D. Satan has tried everything possible to water down the Word of God and consequently much error and many "doctrines of demons" have entered into men's thinking. This is why there are so many "denominations" in the church when, in reality, it was the Father's plan for every Christian to be of one heart and mind with Him - in and by the power of  the Holy Spirit. I have written all this to say that throughout these many centuries the Father and Jesus have been extremely "misrepresented" before the multitudes - but that is about to change in a very radical way!

"A GLORIOUS CHURCH SHALL ARISE AND THE GREATEST OUTPOURING OF GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND WILL BE RELEASED INTO THE EARTH"

           I am well aware of the blatant hypocrisy that still exists in many so-called Christian circles, but that is about to end! For one to call themselves "Christian" in this last of the last hour will mean that they will be serving God with a "heart wholly given". In the days ahead EVERYTHING - and I do mean EVERYTHING - that is apart from Christ (the revelation of the Father's will and the power of the Holy Spirit) will be shown exactly for what it is. In the light of this intense and all-consuming judgement a Glorious Church shall arise and the greatest outpouring of God's presence in the history of mankind will be released into the earth. The first and foremost result of this "outpouring" will be that vast multitudes will be brought to the "point of decision" with their eyes opened wide - as for the first time they see the Father as He REALLY is, and experience the LIVING CHRIST in the fulness of His Glory and Power. Many will still forsake the truth and enter into a greater position of rebellion against God (they are those ones who will enter into The Great Tribulation period) but, again, vast multitudes will not only experience the New Birth, they shall also be baptized in the Holy Spirit and with fire - and thus they will spend the remainder of their time in the earth trampling Satan and his forces underfoot (Malachi 3 and 4) - as they go forth in perfect obedience to the will of God.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

          There is NO "imperfection" in the Father. There is NO "imperfection" in His Word! There is NO "imperfection" in the Holy Spirit. There is NO "imperfection" in His will for us! There is NO "imperfection" in His love for us! There is NO "imperfection" in His treatment of us! There is NO "imperfection" in His "disciplining" of us! There is NO "imperfection" in the "ministry" He has given us! Every child of God "must" come to the "full realization" that there is NO "imperfection" in God!

"THE FULNESS OF TIME"

          We are in a time like no other! This is the "fulness of time". The fulness of time - as it applies in a practical manner to all those who are seeking the fulness of Kingdom life - is simply the fulness of God's will entering into time (physical circumstances) at any given moment. In this most critical and glorious hour those who have truly sought God with a faithful heart have been blessed with much revelation concerning the Father's plan for the Glorious Church and the establishment of His Kingdom. And thus, now are beginning to see the fulness of all that has been prophesied concerning the Glorious Church and the Third Day begin to manifest. In these days the manifestation of the fulness of God's will shall both continually accelerate and expand to a greater degree with each passing day in the earth.

"THIS IS THE TIME OF A GREAT FLOOD"

          So now, this is the time of a great "flood". In these days we are going to both hear and experience the "full version" of what the Father had intended all along for the Church - in order that we might be vessels which are truly fit to be used to fulfil the entirety of His purpose, and we are also going to experience a "flood" of the manifested presence - both individually and corporately - such as this earth has never seen. In this time every Christian who is truly seeking first the Kingdom shall - in their continued perfect fellowship with the Father and obedience to His Word - be filled up with all the fulness of God - having become partakers of the Divine Nature through the perfect empowerment of His Spirit (Ephesians 3:19; 2 Peter 1:4).
