THE MINISTRY LETTER 2007 ISSUE 20

To all handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:

THE TRUE STRUCTURING OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

The true structuring of the local Church is based on the individual obedience of each believer (member). It is through their individual obedience that the corporate will of God shall be perfectly established in EVERY instance. This individual obedience shall also bring forth the spontaneous manifestation of divine government - a divine government that shall both establish and maintain the true, spiritual environments that will be necessary for the fulness of the Father's will to be manifested through His Church in this final hour. From these things one can see that there is no need to "formulate" a plan or method concerning the establishment of the true, local Church in any locality, for the key is simply a perfect obedience (on the individual level) to the simple - but absolute - prerequisite of personal fellowship with the Father and His Word in the "inner chamber". These principles are absolute Kingdom principles and NOTHING - I repeat NOTHING - shall be established apart from them and be able to proclaim itself as being "in Christ" in this final hour!

TRUE EVANGELISM

From these things, one can also see that this individual (and thus corporate) obedience will provide a continual outflow of God's power in ALL things. This is the "true evangelism" that will turn the hearts of many towards the "Living Christ" in this last hour. We thank God for all that which has been done in the church up until this time as far as the evangelizing of the world goes, but what has been seen up until this time shall be seen as almost nothing compared to that which is about to take place in and through a holy and divinely empowered Church!

EVERY LAST CHRISTIAN WALKING THE FACE OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BROUGHT TO THE POINT OF AN ABSOLUTE DECISION IN THIS HOUR

In these days, the conflict of the Kingdoms - that is, the Kingdom of God and that which the spirit of anti-christ has established in the "world" - shall intensify and because of this every last Christian walking the face of the earth shall be brought to the point of an absolute decision in this hour. From this place they shall choose either absolute life and the total provision (empowerment) of God or they will remain to some degree in a reliance upon "the mind of the flesh" (their own understanding). This choice of either the absolute life (light, wisdom, love etc.) or death (darkness) shall clearly dictate both their position for the remainder of this present age (the Church age) - spiritually speaking - and it shall also both dictate and influence heavily the degree of eternal reward that they shall receive.

WHEN WE OBEY GOD WE ARE BUILDING ETERNAL REWARD

We truly are a blessed (empowered) people - as we have the open opportunity before us daily to love God in the midst of all of the temptation and chaos of this present world, which surrounds us on every side. As Christians, it will not be a difficult thing to love God in Heaven - free from the continued attempts by Satan - through demonic influence - to draw us off of the narrow path of perfect obedience (love). Jesus said, "If you love Me you will obey Me". Thus, when we obey Him we are building eternal reward. This, of course, is not the "works" that the "vainly religious" continually hold to. What I am referring to here is a simple obedience - empowered by a deep and abiding love for the Father and His purposes alone. There is not much complexity to true Kingdom living. It is always a matter of one setting themselves aside in any given situation or circumstance and acknowledging God in all of their ways. Then, of course, obeying Him through the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit as He moves one from faith to faith and glory to glory.

GREAT DESTINY AND PERFECT PURPOSE

Sometimes it takes longer for the revelation of God's Word to move from our head (initial understanding) to our heart (the entrance of divine light) then we would like, but of course in the process every ground of fear and self-desire is exposed and removed, and the light and love of God shed abroad in that vacated space. There is no doubt that we are getting down to the nitty gritty as far as this new season of "divine prosperity" goes - and so the Father is fine-tuning and perfectly preparing each one of His faithful ones for great destiny and perfect purpose which lies just ahead for them. We must just continue to seek His face daily - for that is where the great grace and perfect empowerment which is necessary are imparted.

THIS IS THE TIME OF THE GREATEST SEPARATION EVER SEEN IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

This is the time of the greatest separation ever seen in the Body of Christ. One will be found abiding in the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Love) or under the control of a spirit of Korah or one of the other spirits of rebellion (Jezebel, anti-Christ, etc.). Therefore, we must be found pursuing the love of God with all of our heart lest we be found standing on the wrong side - in any way - in this most critical hour.

Let us hear the words of the Father:

"SATAN SHALL INDEED BE VERY HESITANT TO CONFRONT THOSE WHO ARE WALKING IN LOVE AND WORSHIPPING ME IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH"

...."In this last hour Satan has set for himself a trap from which he shall not escape! As the forces of "anti-Christ" go forth to lure and persuade men into doing those things which "seem  good", but are not of Me, they shall not know what to do as "My" children go forth in faith and obedience and in the power of My anointing; for Satan shall not be able to find "recruits" who are willing to come face to face with My power.Therefore, the Evil One shall not be able to confront (in the eyes of men) My bondservants and handmaidens as they go forth in My Name, without "undoing" some of the work which he has already set in motion. By this I mean those who have been held captive to do his will in the area of "peace" and "ecumenism". Satan shall indeed be very hesitant to confront those who are walking in love and worshipping Me in Spirit and in truth. Indeed you shall see My light and My power drive those who would align themselves against Me, into their caves and hiding places; for it is the time of the advent of My "Glorious" Church and for the revelation of My sons and daughters in the earth.

   "I AM ASKING MY CHILDREN TO PURSUE THE ENEMY UNTIL HE IS CONSUMED"

All the intercessions of My children have been heard of high and all those captives who desire to be set free shall indeed be set free! I expect My children to bow their knee to no man. I expect them to treat those things which have proceeded forth from the darkened wisdom of man as if they never really existed.At a time when some of those who have consecrated themselves unto me in the past and who have even been filled with My Spirit, have had the tendency to "relax", I am asking My obedient ones to take a larger step towards the "absolute victory" that awaits those who cast down their desires to walk in faith and obedience to My Word. I am calling My children to pursue the Enemy until he is consumed - showing no "tolerance" whatsoever for all those things which are apart from Me.

  FROM THIS POINT FORTH ALL SHALL SEE CLEARLY THOSE WHO SERVE ME AND THOSE WHO REFUSE TO SERVE ME - ON MY TERMS"

It is time for My Church to transcend the physical and temporal things of this world and pursue diligently the deepest revelations of My Word, that they might come to know the thoughts and intentions of My heart above all else. For in knowing the thoughts and intentions of My heart, they shall indeed go forth; and in the power of My Spirit, they shall bring "all" the schemes of the Evil One to their rightful end. From this point forth all shall see clearly those who serve Me and those who refuse to serve Me - on my terms. For though many have talked of Me, their hearts have been far from me and because of this they have grossly misrepresented the Name of Jesus. It is truly an amazing thing to see many of My children push aside the very One who delivered them from the pit; but truly I say to you a great light shall shine forth throughout the earth and the consuming fire of My Holy Spirit shall expose the sinfulness of men's hearts, and those who have not denied Me shall receive abundant reward - both in this age and the age to come. Those who have not been ashamed of My Name shall shine as the sun. Those of My children who refuse to forsake the sin in their lives shall not escape the consuming fire of My Spirit - destined to consume all that is apart from Christ!

"THEY SHALL SUFFER THE JUDGEMENTS WHICH HAVE BEFALLEN THOSE WHO WOULD RATHER LIVE UNDER THE CURSE OF SIN (FAITHLESSNESS) THAN UNDER THE PROTECTION OF MY COVENANT OF BLESSING AND PROSPERITY"

In the coming days those who truly love Me shall begin to take steps towards Me which they have never taken before and I shall surely lead them to those who will minister to them the uncompromised truth of My Word; but to those of My children who have wilfully hardened their hearts towards Me they shall suffer the judgements which have befallen those who would rather live under the curse of sin than under the protection of My Covenant of blessing and prosperity"....

                                                        "GREAT ARE THEIR REWARDS IN THIS AGE AND IN THE AGE TO COME!"

...."How great is My pleasure, when I see My children walk in the way I have prepared for them, boldly and unashamedly scurrying to do My will at all cost to themselves. Truly I say to you this day, great are their rewards in this age and in the age to come!"....

      "IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO LOOK AND SEE THOSE OF MY CHILDREN WHO HAVE CONSECRATED THEMSELVES UNTO ME"

...."It gives Me great pleasure to look and see those of My children who have consecrated themselves unto Me, and I say to you this day, they shall be heavily rewarded for their deeds. I shall move on their behalf in all that they set their hand to and they shall be prosperous and successful because of their obedience to My Word, and the world shall continually see great signs and wonders in their lives and all shall know that they belong to Me and that it is My hand which is upon them. Do not think for even a moment that I have not seen every ounce of faith exercised by My children - and again I say to you they shall see their reward! For I shall exalt them in the sight of all My people and greatly shall My name be magnified in the earth"....

...."Each one of My children must come to "know" that it is only faith that pleases Me and they must know that I am a rewarder of those who seek Me"....

"AS THE OUTPOURING OF MY SPIRIT CONTINUES TO INCREASE YOU SHALL TRULY SEE AMAZING AND MAGNIFICENT THINGS"

...."As the outpouring of My Spirit continues to increase you shall truly see amazing and magnificent things! There is a "certain"  unregenerated man in this time who shall physically die - be raised from the dead - fulfil the fulness of My purpose for his life and go on to rule with Me in the Millennial Kingdom - when for all intents and purposes it "looked like" he would spend eternity in Hell! Such is the power of My Spirit that shall be continually poured out in these days until the whole earth is filled with My Glory!"....

"I SHALL BLESS THEM WITH A SPECIAL ANOINTING OF MY HOLY FIRE"

...."I shall abide in My holy apostles and prophets and they shall abide in Me. And I shall reveal Myself (My Fatherhood) through them wherever they go and in whatever they speak. And I shall bless (empower) them with a "special anointing" of My "Holy Fire" - a Fire that shall consume every "misrepresentation" and "lie" concerning Me. And this "anointing of Fire" shall also release great waves of healing and restoration in the wake of the path that I shall lead them on. And I shall lead them to many and I shall lead many to them for truly I say to you, the multitudes shall see a "great light" and as that great light exposes any and every "ground of irreconciliation" concerning their relationships with their "fathers" and "mothers" - and therefore their "irreconciliations" with Me - I shall supernaturally heal and restore all who will simply cast down any remaining ground of "unforgiveness" within them - for I cannot and will not honour unforgiveness in any way, shape or form!

"MANY SHALL COME - FOR THE FIRST TIME - INTO A PROPER RELATIONSHIP WITH ME"

Because of these things many shall come - for the first time - into a "proper" relationship with Me and truly I say to you, from this place they shall "then" take their true position of leadership (servanthood) within the Body of Christ and in "their" perfect restoration there shall "immediately" come forth a great and glorious restoration of the "family" - and a great and glorious restoration of true spiritual authority in the midst of all those who truly love Me. And there shall not be "any" religious spirit found to be "standing" in their path! And thus, shall the final stages of My great and glorious plan come to pass and in that moment I shall receive My precious sons and daughters into My very presence for eternity!"....

"IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN DESIRE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS BY THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING, THEN QUITE SIMPLY I AM NOT ABLE TO MEET THEM BY MY POWER AND WISDOM"

...."When My children will direct every one of their energies towards Me until at times it will seem that they are at an end of all they are able to do; it is then that I am enabled to manifest My power to a greater degree in their lives and change any evil circumstance by that power. Some of My children continually refuse to empty themselves in order to present themselves a living and holy sacrifice before Me, and yet they  take the time to ponder the fact that there is some form of lack in many areas of their lives. If one of My children desire to meet their needs by their own understanding, then quite simply I am not able to meet them by My power and wisdom.

"IF MY CHILDREN WILL PRAY AND COMMUNICATE WITH ME WITHOUT CEASING, THEN SURELY MY WILL SHALL BE DONE IN THE EARTH AT AN ACCELERATED PACE"

Many of My children have been greatly blessed supernaturally by My power, again and again, yet an inherent tendency remains  within them - because of their refusal to take the steps which would cause their minds to be renewed by the power of My Word - to fall back into a reliance on their own understanding. I call each and every one of My children at this time, to give of themselves above and beyond the place (in their giving of themselves) where they are at this moment, to the point wherein emptying themselves, they shall be filled and consumed by My Spirit and, thus, I shall be enabled to answer powerfully every prayer according to My Word; for if My children will pray and communicate with Me without ceasing, then surely My will shall be done in the earth at an accelerated pace.

"DO THEY NO YET KNOW THAT NO GOOD THING INITIATES FROM THE FLESH?"

My children need not be concerned with any "apparent delay" in the answering of their prayers concerning My spotless and unblemished Church, for I shall guide them in the counsel of My Wisdom as to what they must do individually - for it is then, and only then, that they will experience the unity of the Holy Spirit in the bond of peace which I desire in My Church. There are many who have striven in their own mind to bring about such unity. Do they not yet "know" that no good thing initiates from the flesh and that it is only futility and sin to lean upon their own understanding? As My children heed these Words I have spoken - and it is only as they obey My Word that they will be able to discern the lateness of the hour - they shall escape the snare of the Evil One which awaits those who walk on the "broad path" which he attempts to lure every one of My precious children to"....

"AS I SEND MY MESSENGERS FORTH, THE ANOINTING WHICH IS UPON THEM AND WITHIN THEM, SHALL SHATTER ANY ILLUSIONS OF FALSE SECURITY FOUND IN THE HEARTS OF MY PEOPLE"

...."I am doing a "new" thing in the midst of My people in this last hour - for I desire them to walk in one accord with "every" thought and intention of My heart. Therefore, as I reveal the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart, through My holy apostles and prophets, all mental ascensions to My Word (traditions and doctrines of men) shall be exposed and replaced with the pure and undefiled Truth. As I look out upon My church, I see many of My people walking in various stages of unbelief - hindered by an intense desire to walk after that which is seen and perceived through the five physical senses - which indeed, precludes faith in My Word. As I look out upon the congregations, I see the place where each one chose the favour of men and the "honor" which the world bestows, above My favour and honor. Therefore, My judgements are upon them, and as I send My messengers forth, the anointing which is upon them and within them, shall "shatter" any illusions of false security found in the hearts of My people, and truly I say to you I shall not relent until all that I desire is accomplished in the midst of My people!"....

"LET ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SET THEMSELVES TO SEEK A WAY WHICH IS APART FROM ME DISCOVER THE FUTILITY OF THEIR CHOSEN PATH AND LET ALL THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE ME CONTINUE TO HAVE ONE MIND AND ONE WAY - THE WAY OF PERFECT OBEDIENCE"

...."Many of My children, even ones who have been used greatly to this point, have "maintained" a fear of what others think, they have "maintained" also the desire to flee from "the confrontation" that I require them to be part of; and because of these things they have retained a willingness to compromise My Word (My Way) and they have "formulated" a way which is not of Me, yet they have done so in My Name. Let it be clearly understood that there is only one way and one way only! I do not call My children to fight in the "flesh" to prove these things, I call them only to obey, and it is certain that their obedience will bring "confrontation" and if they retain a fear for what others think - and thus seek the approval of man rather than My approval, then they shall doom themselves to "failure" in their lives and ministries. For while the world looks down upon those whom they consider "narrow-minded" or "opinionated", I count the steadfast and unwavering belief in My "revealed Word" (Will) as a glorious thing and one which is well-pleasing to Me. Therefore, let all those who have set themselves to seek a way which is apart from Me discover the futility of their chosen path and let all those who truly love me continue to have one mind and one way - the way of perfect obedience; for only those who are "narrow-minded" can "abide" on the "narrow" path"....

"ALL THOSE WHO ARE IN A POSITION OF DELEGATED AUTHORITY MUST HEED THE EXAMPLE OF KORAH AND THOSE WHO REBELLED WITH HIM"

All those who are in a position of delegated authority must heed the example of Korah and those who rebelled with him, for truly I say to you, in this last hour, those who choose to serve Satan shall reap the burning fire of My wrath! For indeed I am the same yesterday, today and forever and in Me there is no variation or shifting shadow and I shall not deal lightly with those who lead My children astray - away from the fellowship with Me that I so desire each one of them to have"....

                      "THE FULNESS OF TIME HAS COME AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE LOOKING BACK"

...."There comes a point wherein - if I allow My patience and My mercy to "hover" over the lives of any given "rebellious one" then I would be lending a hand to Satan and his schemes for their destruction! For in their rebelliousness they have "allowed" themselves to be used freely by Satan to come against My anointed ones and I shall not stand for that in ANY way! Because they have held to their darkness and their thirst for "vainglory" they have become "enemies of the Cross" - and thus their every word and action serves only to hinder greatly the edification of My people and the establishment of My Kingdom in the earth. Tell all those who cross your path to "remember Korah's rebellion" and "Lot's wife"! For truly I say to you, the "fulness of time" has come and there shall be "no more looking back" - as my beloved Remnant works non-stop supernaturally in the earth until the catching away of the Glorious Church!....

MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:

+ Only through repetition will the truth be retained and only by reviewing will it be learned.

+ Apart from the working of the Holy Spirit, none can arrive at "deeper truth".

+ One must never become over-active in self-analysis. In observing the condition of our inward life we tend to over-analyze our thoughts and feelings and the movements of the inner man. This may result in much "apparent" progress, yet actually it renders treatment of the self-life that much more difficult. If we persistently turn within ourselves we shall lose our peace completely, for we shall soon discover the discrepancy which exists between our "expectation" and our actual condition. We expect to be filled with holiness but we are found wanting in holiness. This makes us uncomfortable. God never asks us to be so introspective. To do so constitutes one of the main reasons for spiritual stagnation. Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves. In the degree that we look off unto Him to that degree are delivered from "self". We rest on the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, not on our own shifting experience. True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on "looking off" to the Saviour.

+ Seven Basic Revelations That Every Child Of God Must Be Established In:

1. The "reality" of Redemption.

Hebrews 9:11-12; Colossians 2:15; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 1:18; Galatians 3:13;

2. The "reality" of the New Birth.

2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 1:18; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Ephesians 2:10;

3. The "reality" of Righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17; Romans 3:23-26;

4. The "reality" of being God-indwelt.

2 Corinthians 6:16; Matthew 27:51; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20;                         

5. The "reality" of the Integrity of God's Word.

Isaiah 40:8; Isaiah 55:11; Jeremiah 1:12;

6. The "reality" of the Authority in the Name of Jesus.

Philippians 2:9-11; John 16:23; John 14:14;

7. The "reality" of the God-kind of Faith residing within.

1 John 5:1,4-5; Romans 12:3; Ephesians 2:8;

GOLDEN MANNA FROM THE MOUNT

          I WILL BESTOW IT UPON YOU IN A HEARTBEAT, IN A MOMENT

                                                                                                                               Bill Burns

Come before My throne of grace, you children of Zion, and I will surely anoint you for the season that is before you. I shall give to you strength, power and revelation of the Kingdom for these days. I will bestow it upon you in a heartbeat, in a moment. Be ready for the lightning flash that I will bring to open the way and clear a path for you to walk in the goodness of the Lord. I come to "grace" you with the oil of anointing, the power of the Spirit within. This is My purpose, says the Lord. All you must do is be willing as you say, "Here I am, Lord; let it be to me according to your word."

I HAVE BROUGHT YOU TO THIS PLACE TO RECEIVE THE GLORY OF THE LATTER RAIN

I say to you, My people, that I have brought you to this place to receive the glory of the latter rain. These are the finishing rains that shall bring the Bride to perfection. I set a ladder in your midst. If you have eyes to see, you will see that this ladder ascends into the cloud of My glory. Above this cloud are the flashing rays of My hand that I will lay upon you as you come up higher. Many of you believe that you have neither the strength, courage, nor the ability to climb this ladder. But, I say that if you will begin upon your knees, the first rung shall be easy to find. As you take each subsequent step My presence will become stronger and the glory shall overshadow you. You shall be changed, transformed. You shall be like My Son, the Beloved, the Firstborn. Come without hesitation. Abandon all that would hold you back. Leave your unbelief behind, says the Lord.

                                                           IT WILL COME SUDDENLY LIKE A RACEHORSE AT THE STARTING GATE

Prepare for breakthrough! It will come suddenly like a racehorse at the starting gate. You will charge through every barrier that has hindered you. Do not be surprised when the door is open wide for you to go through, and then run the race with endurance. Refuse to allow anything to stop you until you have reached your goal, says the Lord.

.... Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Hebrews 12:1

YOU ARE IN OVER YOUR HEAD, BUT YOU ARE NOT IN OVER MY HEAD, SAYS THE LORD

You have felt like you are in over your head, doing things that you have little knowledge of or experience in accomplishing. And, I say to you that it IS true that you are in over your head, but you are NOT in over My head, says the Lord. If you will ask for wisdom, I will give it, and I will empower you to do all that is set before you. Refuse to allow fear to paralyze you or keep you from moving forward. Remember that you "can do all things through Christ who strengthens you".

YOU ARE LIVING IN NEW TIMES

Old things and old ways of doing things will no longer facilitate you in accomplishing what is set before you. You are living in new times that will require you to embrace more efficient ways of carrying out My plans and purposes. Do not be afraid to learn new things (perhaps even technical processes) that will equip you to deal more effectively with your challenges. I will provide the necessary instruction as you yield to this transition, says the Lord.

...."Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Isaiah 42:9

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN STATUS QUO

Prepare for a course correction. You have come to a point of decision where you can go no further until you find resolution in your current situation. You will either have to make adjustments and come to a new level of understanding and commitment or abandon it altogether. The choice is yours, but you will not be able to maintain status quo.

YOUR LOYALTIES ARE BEING TESTED, AND YOUR DEVOTION WILL BE REDEFINED

You are about to awaken out of a slumber of idolatry that was brought about by fear of man and a desire to please people. This has been a great hindrance in your life and has resulted in compromise. Your loyalties are being tested, and your devotion will be redefined as you are elevated to the level of fearing and pleasing the Lord only.

YOU MUST STIR UP YOUR DESIRE TO REALLY KNOW ME

You are coming to a level of spiritual maturity that will be astounding in contrast to your past religious experience. If you are willing, I will bring you out of carnal, social Christianity into the reality of life in the Spirit. But, you must stir up your desire to really know Me, says the Lord.

I WILL REVEAL EVERY HIDDEN WORK OF DARKNESS AGAINST YOU

In an effort to forget past offenses you have buried some things that need to be reviewed and forgiven. I am shining the light on bondages from the past, and I will reveal every hidden work of darkness against you. It is time for you to be truly free. And, in the process of this spiritual emancipation you will find that you have been miraculously healed and delivered. It's time!

YOU WILL FIND A PEOPLE OF LIKE MIND WHO DWELL TOGETHER IN THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT AND THE BOND OF PEACE

You have tried desperately to find your niche as you struggle to know where you belong. If you will stop striving to find acceptance and camaraderie among your peers and instead seek to abide in Me, then you will find a people of like mind who dwell together in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace. However, as long as your focus is on you and your desires to be accepted, even if you are among like-minded people you will still feel like an outcast.

BE AT REST AND LET ME TAKE YOU WHERE I WILL

You have entered the River of God, and the power of that flow will carry you to places beyond your wildest expectations. Continue to yield to the moving of My Spirit as I show you things that you "know not of." The flowing of this river will bring revelation of the progression of destiny in every aspect. Be at rest and let Me take you where I will, says the Lord.

   I HAVE SET YOU ON A FAST TRACK TO FULFILLING MY PURPOSES

Beloved, I have set you on a fast track to fulfilling My purposes on the earth. Watch for the enemy to interfere with the pace that has been set by creating complacency or laziness in you. Resist with all your heart this work of the devil against you. You must not lose your momentum. Do whatever is necessary to stay awake and alert in the spirit realm. Yield to the working of My Spirit as I hone and fine tune your discernment, says the Lord.

.... Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Proverbs 2: 3-5

REST IN MY PRESENCE AS I ACCOMPLISH MY PURPOSES THROUGH YOU

Do not fret about the days before you and what I have given you to do. I have called you and equipped you and sent you. Now rest in My presence as I accomplish My purposes through you. You are My vessel of honor, and all you must do is yield to the moving of My Spirit for destiny to be fulfilled. Do not be afraid or be dismayed, for I am with you, says the Lord.

...."And the LORD, He is the one who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed"....

CONSECRATION AND HOLINESS

PART ONE

          ....Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols?  For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,

I will dwell in them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord.
And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,
Says the Lord Almighty.

          Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God....

          ....As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy.....

A NEW WAVE OF DEEP CONSECRATION

          A new wave of deep consecration is about to hit "every" move of God, and the end result will be a glorious "coming together" in Christ. This is necessary and it will be the "catalyst" for the "fulness" of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So many wonderful things are happening day to day and time has become almost "invisible" - weeks are becoming days and days are becoming minutes. As one focuses on the intensity of the "moment" - in and by the Spirit - the perfect will and love of the Father is being manifested and "shed abroad" powerfully and in a "special" way (in our perfect obedience) in our very midst and to all those who cross our path. This shall only continue to increase as more and more "drop" the "sin that so easily entangles".

HOLY FIRE

          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. These are most certainly glorious days and they just keep on getting better and better! As far as I am concerned each step of "purification" and obedience is just one step closer to Departure! In this hour every believer must begin to receive a continually deeper revelation of the "anointing abiding within", for it is only in this way that we 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 us to be caught leaning upon our own understanding in any way, shape or form. This would also result in our being quickly "overwhelmed" (in a bad way) and disoriented as far as the Father's highest purpose in any given moment is concerned.

FELLOWSHIP WITH THE WORLD PERPETUATES A GROWING DARKNESS IN OUR LIVES AND MINISTRIES - FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND HIS WORD BRINGS PERFECT ENLIGHTENMENT AND VICTORY IN ALL THINGS

          How glorious is the provision the Father has made for each one of His children in Christ Jesus! As the believer begins to explore the Word of God with an open heart, the troublesome circumstances of this life begin to fade and the reality of the "true" Christian life enters the deepest recesses of their being. The whole key to experiencing the "fulness" of our salvation is the heart desire to fellowship with the Father and His Word, rather than the world and its ways. Fellowship with the world can only bring darkness and will put into action "forces" that will continually draw the believer away from God and into conformity with the "lies" of Satan - which, when believed, will "surely" result in the manifestation of death and darkness in their lives. Let us be those who seek nothing apart from God and the power of His holy name. For in that name is the power of our deliverance from "every" wile and scheme which the Evil One attempts against us. As the believer stands in faith on the Word of God in every area of their lives, they will soon see the "perfect integrity" of God in action; for He is both willing and able to keep them "untouched" by evil; that is, He will bring them into the "secret place of His presence" in their deepest heart of hearts - a place which Satan cannot enter. It is in this precious and holy place that we "maintain" pure and sweet communion with the Father and the Son and thus allow God to reveal the deepest secrets of His heart to us. This is truly the most blessed place one can be in and as we "abide" in this place we shall find the "fulness" of our victory and the "totality" of the success and prosperity that is ours in Christ. Let us put aside the world and its darkened ways and let us enter and abide in the presence of Almighty God and then shall our hearts ever shout in triumph at the wonder of our precious inheritance (salvation) and the power of His Holy name.

BE "ESTABLISHED" IN THE WORD OF GOD

          Unless one's spirit is edified, and "established" in His Word, Satan shall retain a "degree of control" over their minds, 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 - and not only the way that He desires, but the way that is necessary for them to both survive and prosper in the earth! 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. There are many who have forsaken the Father and His Word - and thus "His" plan for their lives - to follow after "flesh and blood". Men and women worshipping men and women - who worship "self". Is this not the most abominable thing one can conceive of in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Let us hear the words of the Father:

"I AM ABOUT TO EXPOSE THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN FOR WHAT THEY TRULY ARE"

          ...."There are many who say that My Word concerning holiness and consecration is "unclear", but truly I say to you, it is they who are unclear in both their hearts and their minds and thus, they have opened themselves up to receive freely the lies of the Evil One - and up until this time it has led to "mass confusion" in many areas of My church. But I am about to expose the things that have been, for what they truly are!  I have a controversy with all those children of Mine who have "continually" refused to give their "whole" heart to Me. There are many who outwardly appear to be devoted and "sincere" in their actions as they go forth in My Name, but in their ignorance and in their pride, they have set themselves as "enemies of the Cross". There is only one way to expose the true motivations of one's heart and that is for that one to be "confronted" by My Word and the anointing which abides both within, and upon, all those whose heart has been wholly given to Me!"....

REJOICE IN "PRESSURE"

          It is a good thing that the Father just gives us one step at a time otherwise our hearts might have been overwhelmed in the beginning and we might not have even entered the proper "starting gate". But after having experienced many "pressures" and adverse situations throughout the years, all that one can say to the Father is "thank you". Anyone who sets themselves to remain faithful to the fulness of the Father's will for their life shall surely come to rejoice in "pressure" - KNOWING that it is ALWAYS the catalyst to the spiritual growth and perfect preparation to bear maximum fruit for the Kingdom.

DEEP HUMILITY (TOTAL DEPENDENCE UPON GOD) - THE PREREQUISITE TO ALL "TRUE" REVIVAL

          In this most glorious hour, as the Father moves forth powerfully to pour out His Spirit to an ever greater degree in the midst of His people, I am seeing an amazing and wonderful thing. I am seeing saint, after saint, after saint come forth and on them rests a spirit of deep, deep humility. God is truly raising up key people in key localities whose hearts are wholly given to His highest will and purpose. It is not hard to see how "revival" will soon break out powerfully in their midst. The Father has shown me that He is now beginning to move powerfully in order to position and establish the people He has chosen to lead this "next phase" of the outpouring of His Spirit. He told me that He would bring those who would listen to His voice, into perfect position before Him and establish them with the true authorities in the proper locality. To some this might be a minor adjustment; to others this would mean a total overhauling of their previous positioning - a "position" established by the hand of the "flesh".

   A GREAT CHANGE IN THE "SPIRITUAL CLIMATE" COMING

          There shall be a great change in the "spiritual climate" in the days ahead. This specific change in "climate" will usher in the next phase of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit - an increase of apostolic anointing that will bring with it "holy fire" (light - the Spirit of judgement and burning) and a divine empowerment which shall both "elevate" all those whose hearts are wholly given. The very same increase in apostolic anointing shall devastate ALL that is apart from Christ (the Anointed One and His Anointing) in the midst of His people. It is the same anointing, but it shall cause many different results.  The time we are about to enter shall cause each man's work and positioning before God to become evident IMMEDIATELY as they are confronted by this very powerful "apostolic anointing" that flows through the hearts of the faithful from the very Throne Room of God. Let us guard our hearts with ALL diligence and consecrate ourselves wholly in this most glorious hour in order that we might be found "approved" in ALL things by our holy Father for it is "certain" that all those things that can be shaken will be shaken and the time is short!

Let us hear the words of the Father:

       THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF "BRINGING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE" IN THIS MOST GLORIOUS HOUR! (2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5)

          ...."When the spirit-man is kept in dominance over the soul (and body) then the "mind" becomes simply a "servant" to the spirit in the carrying out of My holy plans and purposes. But when the soul (the mind, the will and the emotions) is "allowed" to control one's existence then the mind (thought-life) dominates (squelches) the "divine impulses" that are "continually" rising up out of the spirit-man. The "discipline" of bringing every thought captive to My Word (perfect obedience) is of "extreme" importance! For the failure to do so "negates" that one's effectiveness in establishing My Kingdom in the earth and in edifying My people!"....

          ...."Fleshly" thought may seem to start out with its "good intentions", but it is only capable of effecting the schemes of the Evil One. Every action and word of the flesh is rooted in fear and selfishness and it is through this ground that Satan is enabled to first "control" the vessel and then continually use them until his scheme (or schemes) is brought to the point of physical manifestation"....

          ...."If My children do not "discipline" themselves to bring every thought captive to a perfect obedience (perfect love) then they shall surely be found, to a certain degree, to be speaking and acting apart from the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation"!....

          ...."It is quite simple: at any given time one is either bringing every thought captive to Satan and his self-exaltive lies or they are bringing every thought captive to My Word!"....

       MANY MANY BONDSERVANTS AND HANDMAIDENS ON THE "THRESHOLD" OF THEIR ENTRANCE INTO THE FULNESS OF MINISTRY

          There are many precious children of God who have been in the "throes" of the Refiner's Furnace these past few weeks or even months and they have experienced a "seeming" separation from the Lord (at least by what their five physical senses discern). This period of seeming "vagueness" is but the crucible of the Spirit to burn out any "dross" which would prevent them, in any way, from experiencing their deepest heart-desire - which is to do "all" of the will of  the Father in this last of the last hour. I went through a long period such as this just over a year ago, and while I was going through it I was put in situations and more situations that were totally out of "my" control - thank God! I was "forced" - in accordance with the deepest desire of my heart to carry out all of the Father's will for my life and ministry - to depend solely on Him without "any" justification on my part for my actions - actions which, I might add, seemed quite strange to those closest to me. When this period of time finally ended I was "released" into the fulness of the ministry that the Father has called me to and I have not looked back since - nor will I.

THE SPIRIT OF CONSECRATION AND HOLINESS

          The Father is raising up a specific group of His children to lead the way for many others to enter into the fulness of their inheritance in Christ. These "leaders" (servants) will have to learn to walk "above" the "sense realm". That is, they will be a people who are "moved" solely by the "revelation knowledge" of God's Word emblazoned on their heart. It is only in this way that we shall all "rise above" the religious practices that have - up until this time - kept the church in a position of weakness and "ingloriousness". The Father is on the move in the midst of all those who truly love Him and even since the first of the year I have seen many hearts given wholly to seeking after the "fulness" of His most glorious purpose for their lives and ministries. A very "heavy" outpouring of the Spirit of consecration and holiness is creating a thirsting and hungering after righteousness in the hearts of many and they are beginning to cry out for the Kingdom truths that the Father is revealing from the Throne Room in this hour.

THIS SAME OUTPOURING THAT WILL THOROUGHLY BLESS (EMPOWER AND THRILL) ALL THOSE WHO LOVE GOD SHALL ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME, CONSUME AND DESTROY "ALL ELEMENTS" OF LAWLESSNESS AND PRIDE

          In light of all these things the Father is preparing to send forth "wave after wave" of bondservants and handmaidens that He has prepared in the "inner chamber" to be in place to minister (according to His perfect timing and will) to the soon coming "masses" of believers, both new and those who shall repent of their previous excursion into "religious activity". This is why it is so important in these days for each and every Christian to seek the will of God concerning where they should be in relation to others in the Body. The Father made it very clear to me that in these days He would begin to accelerate the gathering together of all those whose hearts are wholly given, into the places that He has ordered and He shall place them with the proper ministries and/or congregations according to the fulness of His plan for the establishment of the True (local) Church. From this place the outpouring of His Spirit would escalate each day until our task is finished and we are "caught up" out of here. This is most certainly a "capsulized version" of what has been rolling around in my spirit for some time now, but it certainly begins to present a most glorious picture of what our loving Father has for His children and for the entire earth in this hour if they will only partake of it. This same outpouring that will thoroughly bless (empower and thrill) all those who love God shall also, at the same time, consume and destroy "all elements" of lawlessness and pride - and the works thereof - still "standing" in the midst of His children.

All my love in the Anointed One
      and His Anointing
