Luke 3:17 "His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will
thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn;
but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."
YOU WILL FIND THE SUPERNATURAL WISDOM NECESSARY TO UNCLUTTER AND SIMPLIFY EVERY
PROCESS
Psalms 18:33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my
high places.
YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE THRESHOLD
AND HAVE NOW STEPPED THROUGH INTO A NEW DIMENSION
Isaiah 62:10 Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for
the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a
banner for the peoples.
THIS IS THE TIME THAT YOU NEED TO COME INTO MY REST
Psalms 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not
fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings
wicked schemes to pass.
RISE UP AND SHUT THE DOOR TO THE ACCUSER
John 8:44b He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning,
and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father
of it.
REFUSE TO ALLOW THE ENEMY TO SHIFT YOUR FOCUS FROM LIFE IN THE KINGDOM TO
LIFE IN THE FLESH
Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of
the Spirit.

CONSECRATION AND HOLINESS
PART
TWO
THIS IS A GLORIOUS TIME
In these days, we all
must concentrate on "abiding" in a perfect intercession [love]
for all those who have set themselves on the broad path of destruction - a path
clearly apart from the Anointed One and His Anointing! There still remains a
"small window of opportunity" for these rebellious ones to come into
a true knowledge of God's Word [Will] and the deep and thorough repentance that
is necessary for them to fulfill the will of God for their lives and
ministries. This is a most glorious time for all those standing "on the
threshold" and it is certain that not one of us could comprehend the
totality of the effect of this tremendous outpouring of the Glory of God that
has already begun to take place.
"FIRST WAVES"
Even at this late hour
it "seems" as though vast multitudes of God's people are
"ill-prepared" for the fulness of the outpouring of His Spirit that
the Father so longs to "bless" His children with. But, even now, and
in His great mercy, the Father is pouring forth the "first waves" of
this increased outpouring and releasing with it a very heavy "Spirit of
consecration" in the midst of all those who love Him - those who have a
heart for His purposes alone. Because of this, many are forsaking
"all" ground of "stubbornness" and rebellion that had
previously been held to and they are entering - for the first time - into the
Kingdom of heaven with "both feet" - hearts wholly given. It is from
this position alone that God will be enabled to release the succeeding waves of
His Spirit - for to do so in any other manner would cause too great a
"destruction" too soon. The Father in His mercy has everything worked
out perfectly but this must be said:
NOW IS THE TIME TO FORSAKE ALL TO FOLLOW HIM
This is the time for
"all" - whose deepest heart-desire is to fulfill "all" that
God has created them for in Christ - to lay down that which they have selfishly
and stubbornly been holding onto. In many cases this will be a direct and
immediate call to fasting and prayer in order that they might gain the
revelation necessary for them to "finally" enter into their
"proper position" in the True (Glorious) Local Church. With each
succeeding wave of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit the increase in power will
begin to literally "destroy" all that which has its root in pride and
rebellion. To all those who truly love God now is the time to forsake ALL to
follow Him. It is a "window of opportunity" that "must" be
entered into for it shall disappear as quickly as it has appeared. Every true
apostle and prophet of God is crying out to the people of God at the top of
their lungs in this hour: Repent! and enter "fully" into the presence
of the Father and the Son. Forsake all that is not in "perfect
accordance" with the Word (Will) of God. For it is only in this way that
Satan and his forces will be kept at bay, and it is only in this way that one
will be "conditioned" (acclimated) to receive and thrive in the
fulness of the Glory of God that is about to be (and is already being) released
in the midst of the congregations of those whose hearts are "toward"
(seeking) the fulness of God's will for them - both individually and
corporately.
TAKE HEED THAT THE "LIGHT" THAT IS IN YOU, BE
NOT DARKNESS
As this hour and this
dispensation come to their glorious conclusion it will be only those whose
hearts are "wholly given" who will continually have the
"necessary" light to overcome in all things. Those who continue to hold
to the world and its ways - to any degree - shall "surely" be pulled
into the vortex of "darkness" which - in this last hour - will pass
as "light" in the midst of vast multitudes of those who "should
have known better". Jesus said in Luke 11:35, "Take heed that
the light that is in you be not darkness" and we must, as His faithful
servants, adhere closely to this strong admonition. This time is much more
dangerous than many "think"! The only thing that will
"overcome" the darkness and deceptive practices of Satan and his
forces are the absolute light, life and love (Zoe) that are flowing forth from
the Throne Room of God and into the hearts of those who are abiding in an
intimate fellowship with Him.
"FINE-TUNING"
The Lord is
"fine-tuning" all those who are on the threshold of entering into the
fulness of the ministry that they have been called to and thus He is
confronting every last piece of "ground" within them that holds to a
"fear of man". Our "ability" (anointing) to minister in
love - to "flesh and blood" - in the face of any and every scheme of
the Evil One is of the utmost importance in this hour! It is late and we must not
allow any opportunity to minister the absolute truth and light necessary for
the "complete deliverance" of those God leads across our path to
"slip by"! As long as we maintain a heart for the fulness of the
Father's will it is certain that He will begin to surround us with the perfect
brothers and sisters (ministries) to get the job done properly.
TIME OF REFRESHING
It truly is a time of
refreshing for me. Just to see the "caliber" of handmaidens and
bondservants which have begun to come forth is a blessing beyond words for me,
but at the same time it is truly no time to "relax" just because the
fruits of intercession are beginning to manifest in the midst of the Body of
Christ. There must be a continued and diligent preparation on our part for the
next phase of the Father's plan to be both entered into and carried out
perfectly - and so shall it remain this way until the time of our
Departure. Any "personal struggles" are nothing more than the
"birthing forth" - day to day - of the fulness of the Father's
provision for every aspect of ministry - as well as the constant intercession
for the coming forth of this last wave of the holy apostles and prophets throughout
the Body of Christ. I can tell you this! It is no painful task as, even in the
midst of travail, there is the deep, deep assurance in the deepest recesses of
my heart that everything is "right on schedule" according to the will
of the Father. There is no more secure place in the entire earth than to be in
the "center" of God's perfect will for your life and ministry - and
there never will be as long as Satan and his forces are still on the loose to
"any" degree.
THE ANOINTING ON THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS IS
"DRAWING" ALL THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE SEEKING THE "FULNESS"
OF THE FATHER'S CALL UPON THEIR LIFE AND MINISTRY
The absolute truth that
is now being released by the Father from the Throne Room through His holy
apostles and prophets is "empowering" and drawing the hearts of those
who are truly seeking to walk in the fulness of the call upon their lives and
ministries, into a deeper consecration and walk. The "control
spirits" which for so long have hindered many of God's people shall now begin
to move forth radically and openly in the lives of ANY who have failed to heed
to call to remain sober and alert at all times. Their chief aim at this time is
to keep these "drowsy" (from "fellowship" with the
"world") ones away from the revelation knowledge and ministry coming
forth through the holy apostles and prophets. If these evil spirits are
"allowed" to remain successful in their "deceiving
tactics", then the one they have been assigned to will - at the very least
- retain "control" over their "own" life and ministry - and
the worst case scenario would be that they - in their "self-exaltive"
practices - would "allow" themselves to be used to
"control" other sheep who were attempting to hear the Master's voice
and thus they become "stumblingblocks" to those who would draw near
to the Father and His Word. This is a most serious offense against the Kingdom
of Heaven and the heart of the Father and this "practice" will be
judged swiftly and thoroughly from here on in! Let all those called to a position
in authority who are still "maintaining" any element of
"self-desire" lay it down - for the "whirlwind" is now upon
us!
THERE MUST BE A TOTAL AND COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE "FEAR OF MAN"
FROM ALL THOSE WHO WOULD ENTER INTO THE "FULNESS" OF MINISTRY
In this time the Father
is "wresting" from our hearts any remaining vestiges or ground of
self-sufficiency and mistrust - rooted in the fear of failure and disapproval
of "flesh and blood". In just the same way that Satan spends an
entire lifetime "transferring" his fear (mistrust of authority) and
arrogance and self-sufficiency into our lives - the Father desires to
"transfer" His precious and tender love and His trustworthiness into
our hearts, for in doing so we gain the abiding revelation of the fact that we
ALREADY have his perfect approval and acceptance. Because of these things, all
striving before man ceases and we can THEN move forth in the true boldness and
"God-assurance" that allows us to continually walk above the
"fear of man", and sets us free from the BONDAGE of seeking the
approval and acceptance of anyone apart from the Heavenly Father. If one seeks
after the acceptance and approval of "flesh and blood" to ANY degree
then quite simply they are a "compromise" going somewhere to happen!
It is only from this position of perfect deliverance from the "fear of
man" that we are truly free to do ALL that we are called to do. It is in
this position that His precious and perfect abiding love continually casts out
ALL fear - not only in us, but in all those who cross our path that truly
desire to be free themselves.
THE ATTEMPTED "BURYING" OF FEAR IS A MOST
DANGEROUS THING!
The attempted
"burying" of any ground of fear is a most dangerous thing! If we
allow ourselves to be deceived into thinking that we can "exist"
comfortably enough with our fears, THEN because of OUR "maintenance"
of these fears the Evil One is able to maintain "control" over our
movements because we have to do - or not do - certain things to avoid those
fears. What this means is that in a critical moment Satan and his forces will
still be enabled to "move" us in a direction that is not of God and
thus hinder and prevent us being in the right place at the right time, doing
the righteous (obedient) thing - all because of our fears. I experienced this
"cycle" for years and it wasn't until I made the "quality
decision" to confront any and all fears that I was finally able to
experience true liberty - in and by the power of the Holy Spirit. I began my
walk still seeking my earthly father's approval and it was many years before I
"allowed" the Father to bring me to the place wherein my acceptance
and approval are found only in Him.
PERFECT OBEDIENCE WILL BRING ABOUT THE "NECESSARY"
CONFRONTATION OF ANY GROUND OF FEAR IN THE HEART OF THE BELIEVER
Perfect obedience on the
part of the believer will bring about the "necessary confrontation" -
that is, the confrontation necessary for the Father to deal with our deepest
fears and replace that area in our heart with His perfect love - the love that
will both heal us and sustain us in, and through, ALL things. When the child of
God is faithful to place ALL of their trust upon the Father and His Word they
shall most certainly experience a measure of acceptance and approval from
"flesh and blood" (divine favour), but only from those whose hearts
are towards God (whether in the "world" or in the Body of Christ). If
another child of God is retaining any element of "self-desire" -
which always translates into a "mental ascension" of God's will
(Word) - then those abiding in perfect obedience will experience (EVERY TIME!)
their disapproval and unacceptance in some form. The words spoken or actions of
the obedient one will always threaten any element of self-desire and
self-agenda - and because of these things the obedient one must either continue
on their course - casting aside all of the approval and acceptance of those in
disobedience - or they must compromise their own obedience to set themselves in
agreement with those in rebellion and disobedience to the will of God. Now you
can see clearly why we must FIRST find ALL of our approval and acceptance from
the Father. For to hold to any of these things ourselves - by placing "flesh
and blood" before the Word (will) of God - shall surely bring about a
"shipwreck" of our faith and cause us to fall short (fail) of the
highest and most holy purposes of God concerning our own lives (and the lives
of all those with whom we have to do). This is another example of the Truth
being revealed in His absoluteness in this last hour.
DEFINING "DISAPPOINTMENT"
Always remember:
ALL "DISAPPOINTMENT" IS THE RESULT OF A MISPLACED FAITH ON OUR PART.
THE FATHER IS PERFECT. OUR TASK IS TO MAINTAIN THE PERFECT LINK OF FAITH AND
TRUST WITH HIM THROUGH GAINING A CLEAR AND ABIDING REVELATION OF HIS WILL - AT
ALL COST TO OURSELVES. IF WE ARE FAITHFUL TO DO THESE THINGS. WE WILL
"NEVER" BE DISAPPOINTED - FOR ALL THINGS SHALL NOT ONLY COME THROUGH
IN HIS PERFECT TIMING, BUT THEY SHALL ALSO COME THROUGH IN THE FULNESS WHICH
THE FATHER INTENDED. DISAPPOINTMENT IS NOT PART OF OUR COVENANT WITH GOD
- NEITHER IS DISGRACE, CONDEMNATION OR HUMILIATION. HE IS OUR ALL-SUFFICIENCY
AND HE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY RIGHT TO THE END OF ALL THINGS!
All
my love in the Anointed One
and His Anointing
