Be Zealous for Good Works ~ by June Sheltrown Reinke, 7/14/2020

“Be as I AM, on task, on time, and doing everything that I have assigned you to do with all your might,” says The LORD.

“Don’t become hesitant or procrastinating or reluctant to work in My Field. For diligence and dependability and faithfulness is what I AM looking for. Be zealous for good works, even as I AM.

“Let your faith become your walk and be a doer of the work, for your labor is not vain in Me, but will be greatly rewarded,” says The LORD.

“You will reap what you sow,” says The LORD.

“GOOD works will produce only a good harvest. As you labor, your harvest is coming. Don’t look at the weather. WORK. Don’t wait for the perfect situation to respond to My Call.

“JUST obey and believe and know that what I call you to do, I will equip and empower you to perform it. I will not just send you to war without weapons.

“I will not ask you to work in My Field without proper tools and resources. I will fully empower you to be fruitful and your work will be beneficial, productive and powerful, as you fervently engage in My business that is for My Kingdom that is without end,” says The LORD.

The Bride of Christ and the First Dance ~ by Deborah Waldron Fry, 7/12/2020

Posted: July 12, 2020 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Bride of Jesus Instructions: An "Event" Approaches, Prophetic 2020

I heard, “It is the end of things that have been and the beginning of things that will be!”

And I saw Angels bringing a message of great joy. “It is the time of the Bride of Christ and the First Dance.”

I saw 111 on the clock and heard, “Acts 1:11”

And I saw the Body of Christ, the Sons and the Daughters dancing; dancing like David danced. Dancing in the Joy of The LORD.

Why? The Angels are announcing today, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven.”

“Beloved. Now is not the time for fear and anxiety. Oh no, My Bride. You are My betrothed. Have you forgotten whose you are?

I AM sending My Messengers to remind you of the soon coming Marriage Supper of the Lamb! Do not lose your hope, but let the Joy of The LORD be your strength.

Oh, dance like David danced, My Child! Soon the King shall be joining His Bride in the Dance. The King is coming, the Heavenly Bridegroom, The LORD of the Dance.

I AM He who was and is and is to come. Start the celebrations now! No more dirges, but your song of mourning shall be turned into dancing! This is a promise!

SOON, the Bride and the Bridegroom shall have the First Dance. Start now, Beloved, for I AM your soon coming King! Do not let your heart be anxious, but let the Oil of Joy fill you to overflowing.

The Oil of Gladness will flow as you step out in faith! It is time to feel ALIVE again! Hear the Voice of the Spirit and the Bride saying, “COME.”

All of Heaven is celebrating with you! Yes, My Beloved! Hear the Bridegroom’s Voice above all the noise and distractions of the world. Let the future begin!

We are at the end of things that have been and at the beginning of things that will be! I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!”

Let the one who hears say, “Come!” This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.”

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven,” Acts 1:11.

“And David danced before The LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a LINEN ephod,” 2 Samuel 6:14.

“Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. She was given clothing of fine LINEN, bright and pure. For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints. Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God,” Revelation 19:7-9.

“I will rejoice greatly in The LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a groom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels,” Isaiah 61:10.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely,” Revelation 22:16-17.

“For your husband is your Maker — The LORD of Hosts is His name — the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth,” Isaiah 54:5.

“The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete,” John 3:29.

“I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me In righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know The LORD. It shall come to pass in that day that I will answer,” says The LORD; “I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth. The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil,” Hosea 2:19-22.

A personal change of Focus: What in the World is Going on? Technology, Genetics, Mind-control, Mass-media, Money contrasted with God’s Greater Kingdom Plan ~ by Ron McGatlin, 7/10/2020

Posted: July 11, 2020 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Holy & Pure are considered evil & hateful as predicted for last days, Prophetic 2020

This first part of this article will be the last word of warning that I will write regarding an immediate apocalyptic cataclysmic scheme to destroy The Rule of God and His People on earth.

After this, I am led to speak only of the provisions of God for endurance for those who will remain, and the joyful transition of those who are taken to Heaven, and above all the imminent final victory of The Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven.

* * * * * * *

The first part of this article that I am about to write here is NOT prophetic, but rather it is observation, discernment, and wisdom based upon retrievable facts regarding the people and the nations of the world historically and in this immediate season.

After this word of observing, understanding, and wisdom, I intend to prophetically write only regarding the revelation of The Spirit and the written Word of God when referring to this season.

If you truly would rather not know more about the exposed plan of the enemy today, skip the first part of this article and scroll down to : God has a different plan, and we get to be a part of bringing in God’s Plan!

What on Earth is Going on?

On a scale never before seen in this world the most comprehensive scheme of the enemy is making great strides in taking over the rule of the world.

This is not a future thing; it is now taking place in the world. It is not just off someplace else in some other nation or some other time, it is where you live now.

This is not a conspiracy theory or some wild action-movie plot. This is a devious plot from the spirit realm of darkness that has been prevalent in different “notable men” over the past two thousand years of history.

Among the elite linage of intelligent men and women who chose to deny God in Christ Jesus, there is a surprising number who have come to some similar conclusions about the population of this world.

The first conclusion is that the world population needs to be controlled to prevent over population. The second is that the quality of human beings should be upgraded.

Eugenics, euthanasia, forced sterilization, abortion, and birth control are some of the tools employed in an attempt to make a better people existing in better living conditions.

Of course, there are glaring major problems with this, not the least of which is that man is not God. Even the most elite do not have the wisdom to determine who should be reproduced and who should be eliminated and how, it should be done.

All of the so-called ‘elite persons’ of whom we speak tend to conclude that those like themselves are the first category to be included.

Since these elite leaders choose to deny God, and because they are ultimately inspired of the devil, the first people determined to be eliminated are usually the people of God (Jews and Christians) and secondly the poor or less productive people including the old and impaired.

Technology, Genetics, Mind-control, Mass-media, Money

The elite today are the most intelligent, most wealthy, most influential people of modern history. Like their predecessors throughout history, they do not truly honor God in Christ Jesus and see themselves as the elite with the power to control the population of the world to make it a better world.

Their collective strength is such that they can gather the brightest and greatest minds to assist and serve their collective plans. Governmental leaders are bought and used to deploy their high plans of order for the world.

These are real people with so much collective power that they can directly influence and control the mass media and educational systems that mold the minds of the people that lead the nations.

The science of mind crafting and mind control has reached new heights of knowledge and techniques in molding and shaping human understanding to fit into their plans.

The plans and works are so evil that it is very hard to even believe that these devilish schemes are even reasonable to consider.

In human beings this extreme evil would not naturally happen. These are schemes and plans from the evil darkness of the devil.

Even more powerful is the recently discovered ability through bio-genetics to alter the emotions and the personality of the people through injections.

In addition, artificial intelligence makes it now possible to know and track every person in detail to affect their “well-being” and personal privileges to function in culture and business.

Systems are now gathering data for this type function and are now operating at some level in the world.

Also, through bio-engineering new viruses are modified and planned to be released upon the masses to bring down all other powers and prepare the people to submit.

This functioning plan of Satan working through deceived elites and duped people is to take over America and the world by bringing America down this year and into utter chaos by early 2021.

The “New World Order” or “One World Government” is planned to be the final result and make a better world of equal distribution of wealth and peace among all people.

This plan is a satanic counterfeit copy or replacement of the real plan of God. The one world counterfeit kingdom is based on external control by the elite humanistic structure controlling the details of every person’s life.

Militant force and withholding the necessities of life will cause submission or death for everyone. Ultimately, this is a life of bondage and servitude to the powers of darkness.

This plan of Satan is to replace or prevent the true plan of God from coming forth within and among the people.

The people doing these things are deceived and are truly made to believe that they are doing good for the world.

People are not the enemy. They all need Jesus. They all need to be touched by real love and goodness. They need to know the peace and joy of God’s righteousness and pure holy love.

God has a different plan, and we get to be a part of bringing in God’s Plan!

God’s Greater Kingdom Plan

God’s plan that is now coming about in this world and in this time is the reality of The Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven coming forth through Christ Jesus by The Holy Spirit of God in and through His Body, the people of God on earth.

The real Kingdom of Heaven or Kingdom of God is now forming in the hearts of multitudes of people across the world. Individuals are being infused with The Spirit of God changing who we are in our spirit being.

The actual Spirit of Christ coming in or manifesting in our spirit becomes one Spirit in us. We become one Spirit with Christ. As our Spirit flows up into our mind, we begin to have the mind of Christ.

God is Spirit!

Spirit God is far greater than our natural Adamic spirit. God who created ALL things and sustains all creation is greater than our natural minds or anything in the natural world.

All things are possible to God but not to man alone without God. All things in and with God are possible to you and me now in this world, if Spirit God abides in us.

Spirit is like air: it is not visible, but as a spirit moves upon creation you can hear it and see its results. Jesus said,

“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8.

When Holy Spirit of Christ comes into us, it blends with our spirit and like air the two become one air or one spirit. The much more dominant Spirit of Christ becomes the dominant Spirit in us.

Thus, we become one Spirit with Christ. The Spirit of Christ dwells within us.

That which we could not do in the natural, we can now do.
That which we did not have in the natural, we can now have.
We have the LOVE of Christ for all mankind and the willing obedience to the Father.

We have the power and wisdom that we did not have before.
We have the ability to see in the Spirit realm.
We can hear God clearly and commune with Him.
We become willing servants and mature Sons of God on earth. We are seated with God in heavenly places.

We truly are a totally new creation without the limitations caused by the fall of Adam and our own sin.
Truly we are bought with a price.
We are the fully redeemed temple of God on earth.
We willingly give our lives for Him to live in us.
All that we have, all that we are, and all that we will ever be is His.

Our love for Him knows no bounds or limits.
There is no life in us or in this world without Him.
We are forever bound to Him as one with Him in the ecstasy of His abundant life of love, righteousness, peace, and joy.
We fulfill all law because of love, so that there is no need for external controls or rules.

This is The Kingdom of God within us.

The Kingdom Within Flows Out to the World Around Us

The Kingdom within affects the world around us and like yeast in dough spreads quickly into the people and the world around us.

The spreading Kingdom changes the people of the world and the world is changed into the perfect order of God.

Truly there is only one governance, one Head over the entire world. One Kingdom Government with one King, Christ Jesus Yeshua, LORD of all.

The kingdoms of this world become The Kingdoms of our God as Christ Jesus, living in all of us, returns the Kingdom to Father God.

This is Not Just Someday; This is Beginning Now

The things that the devil is doing now to kill, steal, and destroy will be used for good by God toward the fulfillment of The Kingdom.

It is about Romans 8:28:

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His Purpose.”

How Can This Be?

America and the nations of the world have gone far from God into much of the plan and purposes of the enemy. The religious church systems have been grossly infected with cunning deceptions.

Divisions and separations have resulted in multitudes of religious denominations that have failed to know and participate in the Spirit’s work to fulfill the purpose of Christ being formed in the people by The Holy Spirit and restoring the systems of this world to The Kingdom of God.

The devil has been left unhindered in running rampant over the world in business, religion, education, mass media, family life, entertainment, and more.

This has led to the destruction of the family unit and even the basics of human reproduction and life systems established by God.

In short, all that the enemy has built by working in mankind must come down. The tribulation coming upon the nations forces us to see and understand that which we have been doing is not working.

For the most part The Church has been robbed of even really knowing about the real kingdom of God potential on earth. The good news of The Kingdom of God is that Christ is now here indwelling His Body to establish The Kingdom of God on earth.

The enemy for the most part convinced us that we could only have all those kingdom promises and provisions someday after we died and went to Heaven, or some day when Jesus came back in a natural body and did some more work to stop the devil.

We are awakening to the magnificent perfect love of God in us and through us changing the world from chaos to the glory of God in The Kingdom of His love.

“But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Be made whole in His love,

“We are coming up on 400 years of servitude here in the USA as of November 11, 2020.” (Carol’s note: that’s 11/11 for all you that keep noticing this number sequence everywhere.) Mayflower Compact: Time’s Up! Abram’s 400 years Complete – Tim Foster, 7/9/2020

Posted: July 10, 2020 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Choosing righteousness over worldliness is a CHOICE!

Christian Puritans signed a compact on November 11, 1620 [Heshvan 15] as a promise to bring “glory to God AND advancement of the Christian Faith” as the purpose to plant a colony in a foreign land – America. Notice the purpose was not to advance the Christian “religion”. Secondly, Abram was given a prophecy by God that his descendants would be slaves in a foreign land for 400 years.

Genesis 15: 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. But, Moses writes this about the Israelites time in Egypt:

Exodus 12: 40 The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

Question – Which is it? 400 or 430 years? Is this a bible contradiction? Or, is there another answer? If Moses says the Israelites live in Egypt for 430 years, then what about Abram’s promise to Him about a people what would be enslaved in a foreign land for 400 years?

Could this prophecy given to Abram 4,000 years ago by God be misplaced and wrongly applied to the Israelites in the land of Egypt? Could Abram’s prophecy actually apply to the Christians and Jews who have now lived in a foreign land – America – for the past 400 years?

If this is the case, then those prophesied 400 years are up in November 11, 2020

[Note: Heshvan 15, 2020 is November 2nd – the day before the American election]

The Mayflower Compact states:
In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread
Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King,
Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken for the Glory of God AND advancement of the Christian Faith AND Honor of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together in a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England Anno Domini 1620.

Ecclesiastes 1: 9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun

. …time for the 2nd Exodus…Now !!!

We are coming up on 400 years of servitude here in the USA as of November 11, 2020.

YES,
thus says the LORD!

Psalm 17: The Prayer of an Innocent Person (CEV)

17 I am innocent, Lord!
Won’t you listen as I pray
    and beg for help?
    I am honest!
    Please hear my prayer.
²Only you can say
    that I am innocent, because only your eyes can see the truth.

³You know my heart,
    and even during the night
you have tested me
    and found me innocent.
I have made up my mind
    never to tell a lie.
⁴    I don’t do like others.
I obey your teachings
    and am not cruel.
⁵    I have followed you,
    without ever stumbling.

⁶I pray to you, God,
    because you will help me.
    Listen and answer my prayer!
⁷    Show your wonderful love.
Your mighty arm protects those
who run to you for safety from their enemies.
⁸Protect me as you would
    your very own eyes hide me in the shadow of your wings.

⁹Don’t let my brutal enemies attack from all sides and kill me.
¹⁰They refuse to show mercy, and they keep bragging.

¹¹They have caught up with me!
My enemies are everywhere, eagerly hoping to smear me in the dirt.
¹²They are like hungry lion shunting for food or like young lions hiding in ambush.

¹³Do something, Lord! Attack and defeat them.
Take your sword and save me
    from those evil people.
¹⁴Use your powerful arm
    and rescue me
from the hands of mere humans
    whose world won’t last.^[a]

You provide food for those you love.
Their children have plenty and their grandchildren will have more than enough.

¹⁵I am innocent, Lord,
and I will see your face! When I awake, all I want is to see you as you are.

I Come As A Mighty Warrior! – Cryptic1, 6/30/2020

Posted: July 2, 2020 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Bride of Jesus Instructions: An "Event" Approaches, Prophetic 2020

I had watched a snippet of Pastor Dana Coverstone’s video ‘Holy Spirit Tongues Persecution’ (6/30/20). In this video, Pastor Dana shared a recent vision he had on the power of speaking in tongues. He addressed the video to ‘Spirit-filled people and the need to pray (in tongues) more aggressively’. This impressed me so much I felt led to enter into tongues and while doing so I received this message.

JERUSALEM

KING OF GLORY

MIGHTY WARRIOR

I AM WHO I AM

I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END

FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD

I am returning soon for a holy and stainless church. I am returning soon for a pure and spotless bride. Will I find faith when I return upon this earth?

You are in the end of days. Chaos. Destruction. The world will end soon.

I see into your heart of hearts. I will destroy. When I return to save My people Israel. They are My chosen ones along with My remnant – the bride. They are small in number but mighty. Mighty are they. They are My chosen ones as well. From the foundation of the world I have chosen them for such a time as this.

Speaking in tongues is a weapon the enemy does not understand. It is My heavenly language I have given to you. It is a gift to you to use often. My servant Paul in the bible spoke tongues more than anyone of his time. You MUST be like him. He defeated many foes this way – speaking in tongues. I have given this gift to you My children so that you may overcome the evils of the day – for they are many.

My children must stand. Rise up to fight the battle! I speak of a spiritual battle not a physical one. The riots, the chaos -you MUST have no part of it. This is not of Me. I came to bring peace to the world. I have said to turn the other cheek. It is for this reason. It is for this time. It is for this day that I knew was coming.

My children must follow Me closely. I love all My children but many will have to undergo the fire of persecution in order to enter My Father’s Kingdom. There was a way to avoid this path but many have not taken that road. In one moment death will come. And in the next instant you will be in paradise. This is the gift of the promise of life that I offered to the Good Thief on the cross. Surely he was with Me on that day.

This is your Messiah speaking – your Yeshua who will return soon upon the clouds of glory. I look for My children. Rise up! O saints rise up! You MUST minister to the lost and forsaken! Heal the sick! Raise the dead! Speak in tongues! Preach the gospel to the lost before I return! I will return soon upon the clouds of glory!

I COME AS A MIGHTY WARRIOR – NOT AS THE PRINCE OF PEACE!

I AM THE LION OF JUDAH!

I ROAR FROM THE HEAVENS!

AND I WILL ROAR WHEN I RETURN TO THE

EARTH!

BE PREPARED TO MEET ME!

SOME MAY NOT RECOGNIZE ME FOR THEY

HAVE NEVER KNOWN ME THIS WAY!

I AM ALL POWERFUL!

I AM ALMIGHTY!

I AM THE ONE WHO WAS WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME!

I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA!

THE BEGINNING AND THE END!

I AM YOUR SAVIOR!

I WILL RETURN!

BE READY MY CHILDREN!

“It’s Final Exams Time!”- Lonnie Mackley, 6/27/2020

Posted: June 28, 2020 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Prophetic 2020, Wilderness Exodus Leaning on Our Beloved Lord

The “Doldrums” is an area of the ocean where sailors had to endure and languish in an extended “windless condition” where they were basically stuck until they either moved past the dead zone, or the wind picked back up again; but the doldrums can also be considered being in an ongoing state of listlessness, despondency, or inactivity.

We as the remnant sons of God have all been in a strange kind of waiting mode for quite some time now as we have been going through not only a physical, but also a spiritual lockdown as we transition from the Wilderness to Harvest. Many of us have been in spiritual lockdown for decades now as we have been being carefully prepared by God to be part of this last day’s revival; and although we are more than eager to finally break out of it, God is determined to make sure that we are truly ready to move forward before He releases us and allows us to progress. Below are just a few of the reasons why God has been keeping us in this continued state of waiting and self examination, and what is needed to finally advance on.

1. Testing– Just like in college where people take their final exams we are in a time of testing to show us where we are really at, or not at right now. This is meant to reveal the progress we have either made, or still need to make in order to go forward. A true test uncovers what is really there!

2. Rest– God wants us all to rest and wait before Him rather than being overly busy and ignoring Him. Many of us have been going non-stop with activity for literally years now and we can barely even squeeze in two minutes of prayer time. God wants to talk with us as He talked with Moses.

3. Refinement– There are many areas that the Holy Spirit has helped us to overcome in but there are still subtle remnants of selfishness and disobedience in how we treat people that need to be mastered. These are things we know about, but just need to be tweaked a bit until we get it right.

4.Endurance – You may have noticed that some of the trials and tormentors have not gone away and that is because God is developing patient endurance in us. This can seem maddening but in the end there will be no buttons for the devil to push once the greater harvest persecution comes.

5. Repentance– There have been longstanding hidden sin-habits that need to be pulled out by the roots this time, and that takes our full attention and cooperation with God as He gives us the truth and grace we need to finally let go of these things for good. It’s your time now to live free indeed!

6. Prayer– The Holy Spirit has been leading us in our homes to come together and seek Him on a daily or even a continuous manner. We have all entered the last days corporate Upper Room and the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit is about to hit, so prayer and waiting on God are a must!

7. Oneness- God does not just plan on visiting us; He plans to become fully and permanently one with us! And as spiritual maturity becomes complete and you have fully died to self all Heaven is notified that you are ready to be trusted and flowed through because Jesus can live through you!

So if you are in your final exams mode right now try not to despair or get exasperated even if your growing pains seem extreme and unbearable and it seems like things are taking forever, because you are receiving God’s accelerated sanctification right now where you are becoming the Bride of Jesus without spot of wrinkle! You have been handpicked by God for this special time and many saints throughout history have longed to be part of what you are part of right now! Plus, as God goes through your soul and He carefully weeds out anything that is unacceptable for your eternal future, you will be able to face Jesus during your judgment when He comes soon without anything to be ashamed of. This time of final testing and seemingly endless waiting will end abruptly quite soon, and when it does you will emerge from it holy, happy, healthy, and fully equipped to handle anything that comes your way! So hang in there dear one, because you are about to receive the greatest infilling and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in history, and you’re passing your final exams!

JAS 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
