                                                                           AN "EXTREME SHIFT" IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE


Words of Prophecy:


*       It is time for all of My children to "abide" [make their abode] in My Word; for the end of this age has come and all the weapons of their warfare must be in perfect working order for them to walk in "absolute victory" [victory that is devoid of any failure or defeat].

*       It is time to proceed with the fullness of My Plan, and as "My" judgement of "My" household intensifies with each passing day you will see many, who were "thought" to be beyond reproach by My people, fall, and all of their works [that did not proceed from obedience to My Word and My Spirit] shall be exposed.

*       It is time for the world to see the "unlimited" power of Almighty God.

*       It is time for all of My children to lay aside all those things that hinder their receiving of revealed knowledge; for it is in this last hour that many of My own children shall be found to be fighting against Me; for even though "outwardly" they have the "appearance" of godliness, inwardly they are devoid of My Presence [power]; but truly I say to you, My beloved ones, all shall clearly be able to distinguish between those who are righteous and those who are wicked; between those who serve Me and those who do not serve Me, and again I say to you, it shall not be a wise thing to be found fighting against Almighty God in this most critical and glorious hour!

*       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 [Kingdom], that they might come to know the deepest thoughts and intentions of My heart above ALL else. For in knowing the thoughts and intentions of My heart, they shall indeed go forth in one accord - and, in the power of My Spirit, they shall bring "all" of the schemes of the Evil One in their path to their rightful end.

*       It is time for everyone of My children to place their heart before Me in order that all which is not of love, be both exposed and removed. For it is certain that those of My children who have placed themselves in a position wherein they cannot hear the voice of My Spirit, will only be able to hear the darkened wisdom of men; and it is for this reason that they have been used as vessels of persecution against My faithful ones!

*       It is time for Me to honour greatly those who have been faithful. Therefore prepare yourselves, My beloved ones, and continue to hearken diligently to the voice of My Spirit; for I shall surely begin to do a great work through you in this hour.

*       It is time for "all" of My children to stop their "false [unrighteous] judgements" against their brothers and sisters!  Indeed, it is time for them to stop speaking critical words of destruction, and begin to walk in the [unconditional] love that I have called them to walk in.

*       It is time for each one of My children to "fix" their eyes upon Me. Did I not say "Love your neighbour as yourself?" It is indeed time for all of My children to place My Word first in their lives; for many have allowed themselves to be entrapped for too long, and should they continue on the "perilous course" they have set for themselves, they shall surely reap the death and havoc [chaos] that they have sown to! For if My children, through the evil intent of their heart, continue to judge others, they shall sow the seeds of strife, division and discord that I despise. Therefore, My judgments shall come swiftly upon those who harden their hearts against Me and, thus, continue to seek their own glory in this final hour.

*       It is time for all of My children to place those things that are "not seen", first, and repent of those things within them that cause them to view the physical realm as the standard of measure; for this attitude hinders Me greatly in My desire to pour forth My power and meet the needs of all the people - and it is this very root that has caused many of My children to place their hope and trust in the world and its ways rather than the absolute authority of My Word.

*       It is time for every parent to forsake the ways of the world and learn of all that is theirs in Christ [the fullness of Covenant]; for the hour is late and it is time for Satan to be removed from "all" contact with My Church - and the families within Her.

*       It is time for My Glory to be manifested in the midst of My people in ways that, up until this time, I have not been able to. Let all those who would do My Will, cleanse themselves from "all" defilement of flesh and spirit, for truly I say to you My Glory shall abound in the midst of the congregations of the righteous; and, because of these things, all sin and all fear and all darkness shall be removed from within My Church in this final hour!

*       It is time for all of My people to understand this one thing: that they are to bow their knee to no "authority" that is apart from Christ! They are to acknowledge Me in "all" of their ways, that I might direct their paths - a direction, I might add, without which they will surely begin to perish at the hands of Satan. For it is certain that each one of My children is on one of two paths at any given moment: the narrow path of My perfect Will or the broad path of destruction - a path, if which not forsaken, will lead them into the place of "non-resistance" to the schemes of Satan and, ultimately, an "open" attack upon their lives.

*       It is time to put to an end the "plans" of men and devils; for I shall send forth My holy bondservants and handmaidens into the midst of the "fray" and, with a "holy intolerance" of all that is apart from Me, they shall have great victory at every turn against the forces of darkness, and the "power of My Love shall become so evident in and amongst the people that the chains of bondage shall freely drop from all whose first desire is their deliverance from "all" that is apart from Me [1 John 4:18]!

*       It is time for every one of My children who have been seeking Me with all of their heart [those who have sought to live in the secret place of My Presence - the place of "abiding"] to specifically set themselves before Me that I might reveal to them how to "best" use the "resources" [both spiritually and materially] that I have blessed them with.    

*       It is time for all of My children to place those things that are "not seen", first, and repent of those things within them that cause them to view the physical realm [the "things that are seen"] as the standard of measure. For this attitude hinders Me greatly in My desire to pour forth My power and meet the needs of all the people and, indeed, it is this very root that has caused many of My children to place their hope and trust in the "world" [the present world system] and its ways rather than the authority of My Word [Kingdom].

*       It is time for each one of My children to get their "priorities" straight; for I am about to begin moving in such a way that a very "large gap" will now begin to appear between those of My children who truly serve Me and those of My children who do not. For is it not written, "you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him?" [Malachi 3:18]

        ...."When the proper [fullness of] time has come [for executing My judgments], I will judge uprightly [says the Lord]. When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!".... Psalms 75:2-3 The Amplified Translation

        ...."It is time for the LORD to act, For they have broken Your law [Word]".... Psalms 119:126 NASB

"mental ascent" - the reaching out in one's "own" strength and understanding [intellect] to discern God and His Ways [Will].

        Perhaps the best way that I can explain the "extreme shift" that is about to take place in the midst of all those who truly love God is to say that a great, great multitude of prayers will "suddenly" be answered - and, thus, the true [godly] heart-desire of those who have sought only to do the Father's Will for their life and ministry will be fulfilled in ways "far exceeding" anything that was ever asked for or thought [imagined] [Ephesians 3:20] - IN EVERY CASE! It is very important for every Christian to gain a deep revelation of the fact that God [by the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us] MUST unfold ALL things. This is the Father's mode of operation [pattern] for EVERY good and righteous work from now until the end of the age - for it is certain that the flesh profits NOTHING and, indeed, we are called to do NOTHING apart from Christ [John 6:63; John 15:5]. The essence of why it MUST be this way is that this is the ONLY way that the Father can bring forth the fullness of His plan for the "spotless and unblemished" [Glorious] Church without us hindering and limiting Him in some way - through preconceived notions and mental ascensions to His Will. To presumptuously take a "preconceived notion" or "mentally ascend" to the Will [Word] of God in their service to Him indicate the "maintaining" of one's own control [through fear and pride] over their life and ministry. If one is truly  and "wholly" given to the Father and His Will THEN there is no need for one to lean upon their "own" strength and understanding, and there is no need to "mentally ascend" or take a "preconceived" thought [notion] in order to fit God into "their" own plan [agenda]. There is much more on this, but the bottom line is this: the only ones who are going to enter into the fullness of Kingdom life and work [true service] in this final hour are those whose hearts are "wholly' given to the Will of God - without exception! This last statement will soon be seen clearly [be confirmed] in the midst of God's people. There is much revelation concerning the Kingdom about to come forth [explode on the scene might be a better way to put it], and this will remove every last "mental ascension" to the "spiritual reality" that is clearly set forth in the Word of God concerning the Kingdom and the true Christian life we are called to live.
