THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
                                                             MARCH 18th

         
                                                                                                    
A DEEP SPIRIT OF CONSECRATION


        ...."Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Joel 1:14 NASB

        ...."Blow a trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly"....

                                                                                                                                       Joel 2:15 NASB

 
          As the Holy Spirit is poured forth to a continually greater degree in this hour there shall come forth a deep spirit of consecration in the midst of God's people and this will have two immediate effects:
         
1.   All those who truly love God [those who desire first and foremost to fulfil their destiny in Christ] shall repent of ANY idolatrous practices whatever they may be [people or things], and enter into the place of rest and begin to carry out the works of "righteousness" that are their true heart desire. From this place of true repentance the Father will begin to establish these ones in "holy alliances" [glorious connections] throughout the Body of Christ and together they shall both establish and accomplish their perfect part in the will of God concerning the Glorious Church.
 
2.   All those who have refused to repent shall be drawn deeper into a network of "unholy alliances" that shall keep them bound to the comings and goings of "flesh and blood" rather than the Holy Spirit. These ones shall be encompassed by deep darkness, and shall be found fighting against the holy handmaidens and bondservants [civil war] - but in each and every case - NOT FOR LONG!
 
                                                                                             
A SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
 
          This is a most critical time for those who truly love God to "allow" themselves to be moved by the Holy Spirit into their proper position in light of the Father's plan for the fullness of their destiny in Christ. There is a small [short] window of opportunity for all those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom, and who are being raised up to lead this final onslaught against the "religious spirits" [who - up until now - have still been allowed to hold many in leadership captive to their evil schemes]. Many great and glorious things shall begin to manifest in the midst of all those who truly love God in these days as the Glorious Church begins to "get its legs".
 
                                                                                                
   THE BEST IS YET TO COME
 
          It will always seem like "the best is yet to come" from here on in for all those who truly desire to experience the fullness of the Father's precious and tender love [affection]. He is in the process [as many of you well know] of radically expanding and enlarging our hearts - in order that we might come to that holy place of abiding in His great and awesome love towards us, and also have revealed to our heart the revelation needed [on a daily basis] to enter into the fullness of our "Kingdom-position", in Christ. Let us be those who are found forsaking ALL to follow Christ in this most critical hour. For the Glory that is about to be poured forth will be the greatest outpouring of God's presence this earth has EVER seen - and it is certain that we will both see and experience the "greater works" that Jesus talked of in John 14:12!
