Why Do We Fear the Fire of God?

Posted on 3 March 2017 by Mary Lindow

https://www.podbean.com/media/player/audio/postId/6831406?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmarylindow.podbean.com%2Fe%2Fwhy-do-we-fear-the-fire-of-god-a-prophetic-word%2F%3Ftoken%3D43645611761646eb6b78dbf6e3578b9c

In one of His most confrontational statements Jesus said, “I have come to bring fire on the earth.”

There are times in the Scripture in which fire is a symbol of judgment but in the great majority of references fire is used to point out God’s divine presence. His words make it clear that the meaning behind His words, “I have come to bring fire” refers to something more than a cozy flame to cuddle up to!

In this unique statement from Jesus the fire He is speaking of is not literally fire as in flames but a spiritual representation. He is speaking of the burning, exciting, dynamic presence of God in the lives of people.

The fire that illuminates His incredible presence, produces unlimited power, burns away the dross and impurities and attracts people to Him. That is the Fire of God.

The Fire of God is not given to make us cozy……
But holy, and to stir us up.

When Moses saw the burning bush God first warned him that he was standing on holy ground, and then told him of the great thing He was about to do, to release Israel from the captivity of Pharaoh, (Exodus 3).

When Isaiah was in the temple and it filled with smoke of the burning holiness of God, his awareness of being unclean came first, before God equipped him to be His messenger.

When God’s fire comes to the hearts of men and women their spirits are freed from the awful bondage of idolatry.

When God’s fire comes, the enemy will be destroyed. That is why we should pray, “O, Lord – send the fire. Your fire. Send your consuming, changing, restoring, victorious fire!”

We sing about the fire of God in many of our hymns.

There is a song I have known for years that says,

“Oh, Lord, you’re beautiful. Your face is all I seek.
For when your eyes are on this child, your grace abounds to me.

O Lord, please light the fire, which once burned bright and clear,
Replace the lamp of my first love, that burned with holy fear.”

Lord, send your fire!

May we sense and know Your burning, exciting, dynamic presence in our lives and among Your people.”

“Oh How You Fear the Fire!” – a Prophetic Word

“It is as if you think that I might truly do something unloving to burn you or disfigure you!

I AM a God of fire! Yes! But a HOLY fire!   A fire that burns away wood, hay, and dead scraps lying around  in your heart. They are littering the places that I want to bring My Glory into!

When My Fire pursues you it drives away any voice or lust or  any other enemy of your soul!

You will come to a place where  you no longer need to have the splash of fanfare or the  rumblings of the earth to know that I AM in your presence!

Instead.  The Fire brings you to a place just like it did Moses!  He saw My Holy Fire in a bush on a hill.

I spoke to Him and told Him He was on HOLY ground!”

“Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?”  Jeremiah 23:29.

“I was a still, small voice, speaking out from inside of a fire!

Listen!  I AM calling out to you! Be quiet!   Silence the noise around you!

Get quiet with Me. Put away the busyness that you get caught up into!”

“After the “Fire” a still small voice,” 1 Kings 19:12.

“My Passion Fire is calling out to You! I have things I want to whisper into your spirit-man!

I have words that will sustain you through all of the  fiery trials and tests you will inevitably pass through!”

“If this is so,   Then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials,”   2 Peter 2:9.

“If you want the Fire of I the Living God to be evident  in your ministry, whether it is in the marketplace, the home, or abroad, listen to My still small voice.

It will in turn resound like a roaring ocean to those whom  you will minister to.”

“O Lord of hosts,   How blessed is the man who trusts in You!”  Psalms 84:12.

“Trust.  The issue that everyone on earth deals with day in and day out.

Putting your trust in things that last for only a season or a few years can be very risky and very disappointing.

I have told My people to trust in ME with ALL of their heart  and I will make their paths straight. Yet – continually they put  their trust in people, and idols made of gold, positions of power,  and in themselves and invented doctrines of seasonal passing!

Lasting blessings can only come from trusting in Me.

The real issue is that you don’t really think that I will do  what I say I will do!

So… You take it into your own hands!

When you finally lay down your need to control those all around you and trust in Me, then you will be blessed! Blessed with safety, peace of mind and above all,  blessed by My pleasure in your resting in My plan.”

“See to it that you do not refuse HIM who is speaking!”   Hebrews 12:25.

“Oh how many times My people have said to Me,   “Later LORD! I will do it Later!”?

You exhort others to obey quickly and yet you will drag your  feet and put Me off until you “feel” like following through!”

“It is the LORD your God you must follow,  and him you must revere.   Keep his commands and obey him;  serve him and hold fast to him,”   Deuteronomy 13:4.

“Do not refuse Me when I speak to you when I send you to do  something in My Name!

You might fear for your own reputation,  but a life could be hanging in the balance!

You do not have the luxury of “denying your King!”

If you wish to be caught up into higher dimensions in My Spirit,  and, if you long for the “deep that calls unto deep”, be faithful  to ACT when I give you a command!!”

“You are my portion, O LORD;   I have promised to obey your words,” Psalm 119:57.

“I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.” Psalm 119:60 .

God divides people into 2 groups: the foolish and the wise. Which side will you choose? Eternity depends on your answer.

Posted: February 25, 2017 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Bride of Jesus Instructions: An "Event" Approaches, Rivers of Living Water: Salvation

God’s spirit searches the world constantly for the wise…those that acknowledge Him as Lord. “From heaven the Lord looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him.” (Psalm 14:2) Unfortunately, what he finds most often is scorn, disbelief, apathy or pride. Only a fool would say, “There is no God” says the preceding verse. Then the unbelieving are given these adjectives: “worthless, heartless and cruel…never doing right.” What good does all the education in the world if you miss out on the truth of God’s existence and that he longs to be in right relationship with you? How terribly sad that we humans do not think about breaking our creator’s heart by willfully ignoring him, and scornfully turning down his free offer of salvation.

Psalm 15 opens by asking this most relevant of all rhetorical questions, “Who may stay in God’s temple or live on the holy mountain of the Lord?” This looks into the future Kingdom age where God will live amongst his people here on earth and rule from New Jerusalem (See Revelation). Answer: “Only those WHO OBEY GOD and DO AS THEY SHOULD. THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH AND DON’T SPREAD GOSSIP; THEY TREAT OTHERS FAIRLY AND DON’T SAY CRUEL THINGS. They hate worthless people, but show respect for all who worship the Lord, and they keep their promises, no matter what the cost. They lend their money without charging interest, and they don’t take bribes to hurt the innocent.Those who do these things will always stand firm.” (Psalm 15:1-5)

“All who are wicked will keep on strutting, while everyone praises their shameless deeds.” (Ps. 12:8) I passed a bumper sticker in a grocery store parking lot last night that read “PAGAN AND PROUD.” Oh, that hurt my heart for those poor deceived people just reeking with pride and standing and shouting and shaking their fists in Almighty’s face. So many angry people movements have “pride” as part of their slogan. They don’t realize the deception and blindness that has been perpetuated upon them by an evil taskmaster who desires their soul as a trophy. King Solomon correctly states in Eccles. 9:2-3 that “Exactly the same thing will finally happen to all of us, whether we live right and respect God or sin and don’t respect God…we die.” Time to get serious about choosing God while there is time. One’s own disbelief and foolishness will convict if you die on your own without Jesus Christ as your mediator between God and Satan. One of them will have your eternal soul.

“Much strife and confusion is coming to the earth. There will be eruptions of violence, murder, strife and infighting in various places.

Much tension shall abound, and brother shall strike out at brother. The line is being drawn tight.

(NOTE: In the spirit here, I saw a line, like a tightrope wire, being tightened and tightened, until it looked like it would just snap from the tension.)

When I speak to the angels, what is holding back the war will be released, and battles will break out in many places. War will break out. Fighting and killing will seem to be everywhere at once. This is the beginning of the end. Prepare your houses. Prepare your hearts, for the end is upon you. The end of all things quickly approaches.

My children in the earth, My true children, will shine like a beacon in this dark time. Miracles will abound, My Word will go forth with great boldness and authority as it did in the time My Son Jesus walked the earth, and many souls will be added unto My Kingdom. The end is very near now as these souls enter just before the door is shut.

Prepare your houses. Prepare your hearts, for the end is upon you.”

Matthew 24:6-8

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Luke 12:53

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Revelation 6:4

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Genesis 6:5

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Luke 17:26-30

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Isaiah 60:1-3

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Luke 13:23-28

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

The Lord began giving Glynda Lomax prophetic words and visions when she was in her twenties. She began to have visions and dream visions, which at that time related to her personal life, but it was not until 1996 that she truly got into an intimate walk with Him. In 1997, she began to receive very vivid open visions as well as dream visions and prophetic words. In early 2008, the open visions came with a new intensity, so powerful that she would feel as if a wall of wind had hit her as the visions opened up before her. In December of 2008, the Lord began to show her end times visions. Just before 2011 began, He gave her several consecutive words in a short period of time for His people. She inquired of Him about receiving so many words in such a short time and He sent her a word the next day through a prophet that He is going to pour out His Spirit. That night He spoke to her to begin a blog to release them to His people, which is when she started Wings of Prophecy.

“The bodies we have now are weak and can die. BUT they will be changed into bodies that are eternal.”

God’s promises in his Word are true. This one is glorious and timely when reading of celebrities who age and die, or of a loved one’s sudden passing. Glory be to God. We who believe in His promises need not fear death. “Death has lost the battle!” (1 Corinth. 15:54) The words preceding it promise: “The bodies we have now are weak and can die. BUT they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true. (1 Corinth. 15:54)

“Our bodies of flesh and blood will decay. This means they cannot share in God’s kingdom, which lasts forever.” (1 Corinth. 15:50) They cannot live in heaven as they did on earth. A change needs to occur. One must go from physical to spiritual. What is the ticket to this heavenly transition? A solid belief in the doorway, Jesus Christ, son of God. One must admit their sinful nature and repent, or ask God himself for forgiveness. This is a heart issue between you and eternal God. One must then turn from wrongdoings and selfishness and truly desire to live a life devoted to others, not self. Since self-interest and greed are natural to humankind, you will need Holy Spirit’s help to actually turn from that which is worldly to that which is righteous, true and good. Do not depend on your own assumptions and thoughts which are not founded on God’s Word, the Bible. Choose instead to base your life now and your eternal destiny on words will last forever, as God himself has stated. Search them. Spend time letting the words sift through your brain and positively affect your mind. Blessings of peace and a key to break the chains of fear and darkness will begin to fall off of you.

An event is coming, one that Christians should recognize as God’s kingdom coming ever closer to earth. God has asked over and over and over that humankind would be thankful and worship Him as their true creator, but most have stubbornly turned away. The Bible tells us this time is coming of sifting — “Goats” (the perverse, unholy and stubborn) from God’s “Sheep” (sanctified, saved and forgiven through belief in His Son). I would plead with you to work out your salvation with the Lord today. Turn to Him while He may easily be found. Pray for peace in our troubled, tumultuous world so that death will not be victorious over you. Satan will lose another soul. You will go with laughter and joy into your Father’s house (heaven), designed for you from the foundations of the world.

God let me experience the feeling of this translation from mortal into glorious immortal on the night of June 23, 2011. You are still recognizable as you, but strong and glowing with bright white light. Oh, it is the most glorious of all realities! “I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trump, the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so that we will never die again.” (1 Corinth. 15:52)

The song “Time in a bottle” prophetically followed by “Save the Last Dance for Me” – Jesus, bridegroom of his remnant approaches….

It’s Time for the Last Song: “Save the Last Dance for Me”

Word on January 24, 2017 1:50 am By Christine Beadsworth (https://z3news.com/w/save-last-dance/)

Dancing with the Bridegroom to the music that is next on Heaven’s playing list is going to be a challenge. It is a song unlike any we have ever heard before and the rhythm and tempo is unfamiliar – it has never before been played on earth in our hearing. It is a song which has been reserved for this moment in our life and this hour in history and the Bridegroom has already written His Name on our dance card. His request is simple, “Save the last dance for Me.”

This is not the kind of dance the world is familiar with, where the dance partners stand a distance from each other and gyrate out of sync with each other in a darkened room. Nor is it one in which all the women flood the dance floor and dance on their own because they are tired of waiting for the man of their dreams to come and ask them to dance.

This is a dance where there may be darkness all around, but the light of Heaven is shining upon you. This is a dance according to old fashioned protocol. Each of us will be dancing with the Bridegroom according to the Spirit’s leading. Each of us will be firmly clasped in His embrace, dancing face to face with our Beloved. There is place for no other name on the dance cards of our hearts at this hour. It is the dance of the Bride with the Bridegroom, carried out before a watching world – and in many cases, before a watching Church who has forgotten what it means to be set apart for the Bridegroom; believers who don’t understand what it means to be holy and prepared as the Bride of Christ in such a time as this. It is a dance of love that is done to express the Father’s heart to eyes and ears that still don’t seem to understand His message. It is a living letter placed in the embrace of the ‘envelope’, in other words, hidden in the arms of Christ – and from this place, all people see is you in Christ and Christ in you. It is a display of oneness with the heart of God and the beauty of this union is portrayed for every watching heart to read. The ‘envelope’, Christ the Bridegroom is inscribed with the personal name and address of each watching soul. It is a personal message for each one watching – it is their invitation to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

So how do you dance to a song you do not know? The only way is to rest and trust in the arms of the Bridegroom and follow His lead. He has your back and the slightest pressure from His left hand will guide you. He holds your right hand and you fear no evil as He gently but firmly guides you through the steps to the song that He has known from before the foundations of the world.

Oh yes, beloved, it is an ancient song, composed in honour of the Lamb who was slain, when the very plan of salvation was conceived in the heart of God. It was performed then, far from the ears of man, for the ears of man had not even been formed at that time. Only the orchestra of Heaven read the score for that music, penned by the Spirit of grace and truth, and angels held their breaths and wept in worship as they heard the words for the first time, “I will go”. Holy, holy holy is the Lord God, the Lamb. Set apart for the purposes of the Father is the Lamb.

Even as Esther came to the kingdom for such a time as this, so too, the Bride has been set apart and prepared for this moment, this dance performed before a pagan court in intercession and invitation for the people of God. There has been a season of the Mordechai’s weeping and interceding at the gate as they overheard the plans of the enemy for destruction, but now the baton has been passed to the Bride, the one who already has captured the King’s heart with her beauty.

Don’t be afraid, Bride of Christ, as you hear the opening bars of this music. Don’t falter as you take His hand and step onto the dance floor. You know His embrace – it is your safe shelter. Breathe in the fragrance of the Bridegroom whom you know so very well – and trust Him. You will not dash your foot or stumble and the sight of you dancing with your Beloved will do more than you know in the watching crowd.

Blind eyes, long bandaged by the lies of the spirit of harlotry, will be opened. Chains and shackles holding believers long in servitude to the spirit of this age will fall open. Many souls born again into a compromised and fleshly modern day institution, which is the only ‘church’ they know, will receive the light of the revelation of the glory of God as you display for them the beauty of holiness in a prepared and adorned Bride. Your life speaks more than you know – without a single word from your lips. You are a living letter, displayed before men whom the Father’s heart is yearning for. You may not even be able to hear the words of the song because you are so intent on following His lead step by step. But everyone watching it can hear the strains deep within their own softening hearts – “Come away with Me, My love”. Through your dance with Him, the Spirit is wooing others to come and follow the Bridegroom in this holy dance. Your very dance is writing lyrics on the hearts of all around you. They want to dance this dance too…

It’s time. All the other dances are over. All your dance partners have had their turn. They admired your beauty and longed to hold you in their embrace and like eager suitors they queued up for a chance to ‘own’ the Bride and make her dance to their chosen tune, work with their ministry and play a part in their vision –giving impetus to what they have wanted to build for God and display before the eyes of men. But now it’s time for the last song – it’s the turn of Heaven at last. Now it’s time to step into your God-appointed place, hidden in Christ, for the last dance. Christ in you is the hope of glory. You hidden in Christ releases the glory. Now the dance card can be put down and all those names and other dances forgotten. It’s time as Paul said, to lay hold of that for which Christ laid hold of you. Can you see your Bridegroom standing before you with a twinkle in His eye, saying those old familiar words, “May I have this dance?”

In the balconies of Heaven, saints who have danced this holy dance before you are leaning over excitedly and jostling for a place, to have the best view. They are so excited as they watch the latest addition to the Bride of Christ moving to the tune they know so well. Heaven’s scribes are busy recording the news – “it’s happening again, it’s what all Heaven has been waiting for – another wave of harvest is about to come in. Prepare the halls of Heaven for we are soon to welcome the final harvest. The song of the reapers has begun”….and as they watch this dance, they are moved to tears with the beauty of the Word made flesh in you, moving to no earthly song. And the fragrance of your complete surrender and trust as you step into His arms, ravishes your Bridegroom’s heart. You have eyes for no-one else. Like Moses of old, you gaze steadfastly on Him who is invisible.

Dance with all your heart, Beautiful Bride and see the hearts of stone be turned to flesh all around you.

Selah

8 Come away with me from Lebanon, my [promised] bride, come with me from Lebanon. Depart from the top of Amana, from the peak of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my sister, my [promised] bride; you have ravished my heart and given me courage with one look from your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my [promised] bride! How much better is your love than wine! And the fragrance of your ointments than all spices! (Song of Songs 4:8-10)

Every time I hear of yet another famous person who died, I do not think of their fame but instead hope against hope that they were one of the few rich or worldly-renowned that found the narrow path to Jesus

Posted: December 30, 2016 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Hell and Heaven are both real places. Your earthly choices determine your eternal destination!, Holy BIBLE [Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth]= God's Truth & Love for you

People of earth. Be put on notice. God does not offer entrance to His kingdom based on your level of fame, level of recognition, film or song credits, balance in your bank accounts, number or kind of houses and cars you own or how much fine wine and spirits you owned. He only grants entrance by your free-will acceptance of His Holy Spirit…through repentance and turning from your selfish, wicked, worldly ways. I am so grieved over each famed obituary I read. I search and scan for any sign that they followed the Prince of Peace and not the liar and stealer of souls. I usually end grieved that short of a miracle, I will not fellowship with them in eternity. They are gone for good. Their fame from earthly pursuits their only payment. Life separated from the lover of their souls, God, because they were too busy, pompous or arrogant to accept His hand outstretched, until their last breaths.

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness,” 2 Timothy 2:19.

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work,” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13. (Those who do good works without Christ and His love, are not working with God, but against him.)

“But be on guard, so that your hearts are not weighed down and depressed with the giddiness of debauchery and the nausea of self-indulgence and the worldly worries of life, and then that day [when the Messiah returns] “will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth. But keep alert at all times [be attentive and ready], praying that you may have the strength and ability [to be found worthy and] to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man [at His coming”], Luke 21:34-36. (Are you walking on His Highway of Holiness before he comes back, or before you go to meet him at death?)

As we all contemplate our directions for this new year,”It is written, be ye holy, for I AM holy.” Fight against inertia..add eternal rewards…determine to be passionate to save lost souls for Christ!

Inertia Posted on 30 December 2016 by Sherry Edwards Mackey (reposted from https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/gods-word-for-inertia/)

While I prayed I heard the word “Inertia” and I had no idea what it meant. I looked it up.

Inertia means: 1: Property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
2: Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change: idleness, lazy, with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness, slothfulness. A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. © thefreedictionary.com

The LORD revealed some things through this word definition that is effective now concerning the Church and the timing we are in. I believe we need to know and understand where we fit in our stance with eternity.

There is a very real resistance to moving forward with God today in the churches. The people are idle (even in spirit filled churches) with no regard to changing and becoming Christ like. Many have no concept of the cost of discipleship and teaching about suffering for our stance in Christ.

These are sluggish, slothful, and don’t want things to change. To these who don’t want to rock the boat; they substitute programs, wanting instead a social, status gathering or club, in which Christ has no part in. These also are using the church for merchandising. These have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, from such we are warned to turn away.

I see nothing in scripture that calls for such programs or teachings that encourage others to do nothing and remain unchanged. I found that Jesus entered the temple and turned over the money changers tables in anger, stating My house is a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves, Matthew 21:13.

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in. They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

Start talking about holiness and watch the people start calling you a legalist or worse, a false prophet. However, when asked about scripture, many have no idea what they believe or where to find it.

There is a tendency to go with the “herd mentality” and many in this system who are truly saved get stuck in a miry pit or run over. It takes the LORD’s people to pray and remove them from the pit of destruction through intercession. Shepherds gently lead their flocks, but herds are driven.

The Church has an existing state of rest or motion that will continue on it’s path of destruction unless that state is changed by an external force; meaning God must change it!

If the church continues on the same path (of rest and uniform motion) It will take a move of God to change the path of destruction. God will help those that are wayward find their way back, but for many the strict, sacred and undefiled words of the Holy Bible are not applicable anymore.

There are others with lots of zeal who are sincere but sincerely wrong. These think they are doing Gods will and going along a straight road to destruction and can’t see the peril their in. Discipleship is so important! It will take prayer and God to changed their directions.

Zeal without knowledge is just as bad, as they believe their salvation is based strictly on their works. Both states are wrong. You can’t win by going with the program of religion and traditions; It will take you down and you will wonder why it happened or worse you turn away from God.

Following Christ isn’t easy, but his love for us is eternal and that never fails. He is our exceeding great reward!

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge, (Romans 10:1-2 KJV).

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away,” 2 Timothy 2:3-8 KJV.

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance; but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye hold in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy, for I AM holy,” 1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV.

In HIS Grace and Mercy,

12-5-16 @ waking: Message delivered by Michael (the angel, I assume): “Time to trim your wicks and get your lamps ready.”

Posted: December 6, 2016 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Rivers of Living Water: Salvation

I’m thinking adding Matthew 25: 1-13 to our daily devotional readings and collective memories would also be a good idea since I woke this morning to the phrase, “Time to trim your wicks and get your lamps ready.” Message delivered by Michael. I was struck by what an old-fashioned term “trim your wicks” was and instantly knew this referred to the wise and foolish women waiting for their bridegroom (Jesus). We do indeed need to stop arguing over small points of doctrine (like the logs in our eyes which need to be removed) and draw close to our Lord for all time and pray that we are worthy with clean hands and a pure heart of love for those around us — both the lovely and unlovable. Supernatural Oil is added to our lamps only by God’s grace and how we are spending our time and devotion while waiting for our bridegroom, Jesus Christ.

Only half the people waiting for Jesus were ready (5 of 10) with fresh oil in their lamps. Your burning unction daily should be to drop all distractions calling you away from your first love, Jesus Christ. One day soon we’ll see his face…no more pain and suffering..love will have won…but only if you are ready. Measure everything on your daily “to-do” list with this phrase burning through your hearts and minds “Time to trim your wicks and get your lamps ready.”

In 2016, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Christmas Eve. This is a conjunction of the miracle celebration of consecrated oil being found for temple ceremonies with the Christian holiday of Christmas — the day God became the light of the world in flesh as Jesus Christ…They had to trim their wicks and get their lamps ready!! Coincidence? We’ll see at this month unfolds.

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams,” Act 2:17.

“Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in vision, and I speak to him in a dreams,” Numbers 12:6.

“Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel saying, “Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you,” Jeremiah 30:2.

A release is coming unlike anything that has ever come to the earth in any generation. The latter rain is coming and there will be such a deluge for an extended period that God’s children will begin to change.

The Coming Latter Rain – “What Once Was Hard Will Now Be Easy”

November 19, 2016 8:59 pm By Rachel Baxter

latter_rain

As I was lying in bed reading around 8 pm last night, something caught the corner of my eye to the right. I looked to the doorway that leads to the hall way and had an impression in the spirit of a large angel who had descended to stand there. Then I felt like I saw him in my spirit come into the room and stand in the corner by the door. He continues to stand there.

I asked the Lord if I was seeing an angel and I heard yes.

This is what I then heard from the Lord Jesus:

“Do not grow weary. I am here. I love you. Don’t strive. Give up and rest. I am here to bring you good news as there is great joy in heaven of what is to come. A release is coming unlike anything that has ever come to the earth in any generation. The latter rain is coming and there will be such a deluge for an extended period that God’s children will begin to change.

A new normal will set in. What once was hard will now be easy. What once brought stress will bring joy. It’s like the internal wiring will change in those who have prepared, in those who have laid down their lives to follow me.

I am coming. I am coming back to live and you must proclaim My return. This is BIG. This is true and this is the most important news anyone in this generation can hear right now. I am coming, but before I do, there are so many things that must be remade. You know this as I’ve spoken of this before.

The scheming of the enemy must be brought to light. My children must be given an opportunity to see the deception for themselves. Then, they can choose who they will follow. Every person has a choice to make, when all is brought out in the open. Will you choose light or continued darkness?

Satan is very busy stirring up chaos and disorder. I will bring him out into the open and expose him for who he is – a liar, and a thief, and a murderer. He has successfully used his own pride and lust for vengeful acts to lead so many astray. His days are numbered. Only My Father in heaven knows the number but I can tell you it is short. Time is so very short.

Soon you are going to see a city, once the “apple of my eye,” fall. (I felt like the reference to the Apple referred to the Big Apple, New York City). There will be utter destruction and many will cry out. I long for them to cry out to Me and turn to Me.

You must tell them that I am the same I Am that created the heavens and the earth. I am the same I Am that knit them together in their mother’s womb. I Am that I Am. I never cease to call out to My children. I know them by name, each and every one, but so many do not know My name, Yeshua, Jesus, The Messiah, The King above all Kings, The Lord and giver of life. The truth is that they are My treasure. There was nothing in heaven or earth that did not belong first to Me. Satan desires them to be taken from Me, snatched from My loving embrace. My love is relentless and My mercy is without end, but there is coming an end to all things on this earth as the days draw to a close. The one gift I cannot give is more time.

The deception runs deep. Where can you trust? You cannot trust any man to speak My truth so stop looking to man, any man, to be your savior, apart from Me. No politician, no doctor, no lawyer, no landlord, no mortician has the answers or even knows the true problem. Sin. Sin is the only problem to solve, and I already did that 2000 years ago. Look to My gospel and see the work that I did recorded for you. It is not difficult to comprehend. It is all laid out in black and white for you to see. We, My Father, Holy Spirit and Word, chose you before the foundations of the earth. We chose you for relationship. Of course, life feels hollow without Me. You were meant to walk with Me all the days of your life. You were meant to commune with Me, to sup with Me, to rest with Me.

Depression, Anxiety, over-eating, shopping, and on and on… all these things are symptoms of a greater cause. Lack of Me in your life causes every part of your life to be off-center because I am to be in your core. I am the anchor for your soul. Do you not see? Do you not hear? Do you not feel? I am never apart from you, but it is your choice to experience Me.

You have been conditioned for self-reliance, but self-reliance is a lie. You can only truly live by relying upon me for EVERYTHING. My word shouts the truth that it is I that provides for the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the flowers and the grass. How much more will I provide for you, My chosen son or daughter.

So, choose to walk with Me. Right now, close your eyes, and see that it is I, the God of the universe, that takes your hand and holds your heart. It is in My embrace that you will find true peace.

Deception. Everywhere you look. Your media is a den of thieves, a den of liars. Your leaders lie and cheat to maintain or grow their power. Your educators twist truth so that it is no longer truth, and children’s heads are filled with rubbish. Stop sending your kids to school just to be filled up with manipulated facts and twisted rules. Instead, hold them to your hearts and breathe new life into them.

The youngest generation are being so badly abused by the system of education that exists today in this nation. The rulers desire robots and minions, soulless, empty, broken children without true hope. If I was to allow the current education system to go on, we would see in the next twenty years, suicide rates that would quadruple. (The Lord commonly speaks to me about education because It is the work He has called me to.)

Seek Me first. You know not to go your own way. Seek Me at the start of each day for your marching orders and I will be faithful to lay out your day. I will bless your days and cause them to be wildly successful, unlike anything you could do on your own. I will bless you and keep you. I will make My face to shine upon you and give you peace!”

Turn to the LORD! He can still be found. Call out to God! He is near.

Turn to the LORD! He can still be found. Call out to God! He is near. Give up your crooked ways and your evil thoughts Return to the LORD our God. He will be merciful and forgive your sins. (Isaiah 55:6-7) When world events become supernaturally “impossible” in the natural, remember the Lord is getting ready to step back into HIStory (His story) in an unmistakable way. He is offering you full forgiveness of your sins. God says, “Respect the Sabbath (His day of rest), obey me completely, and keep our agreement. Then I will set up monuments in my temple with your names written on them…” (Isaiah 56:4-5)

Listen to “Forever” sung by Bethel Music & Kari Jobe from the You Make Me Brave album. Christ made atonement possible between us, common people, and God our Father. Let the truth of his sacrifice cause your spirit to soar. He is alive and we can be made new and alive in Him, to serve and reign forever in heaven. Hallelujah….Maranatha…God with us…wonderful counselor…mighty savior. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Be grafted into God’s family, his kingdom, to be called sons and daughters of the Most High.

“The LORD said: Be honest and fair! Soon I will come to save you; my saving power will be seen everywhere on earth. I will bless everyone who respects the Sabbath and refuses to do wrong.” (Isaiah 56: 1-2)

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name, Be joyful in You. (Psalm 5:11)

God’s Name is Glorious! He graces me with a heavenly visit 7/17 in an Anaheim hotel…translated by power of Holy Spirit

Posted: October 5, 2016 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Praise Music Essential Worship + Project of Love: Bible in Song, Prophetic Dreams, Revelations and Prophecy

Download and listen to anointed worship song “Your Name is Glorious” from Jesus Culture’s album: This is Jesus Culture (Live) featuring Kim Walker-Smith.

“We lift you up higher…higher. Come see what God has done…” Oh, my spirit soars within me at this song glorifying Jesus and Father God. We will bring the highest praise to the King…sing it again!”

Background: This summer’s road-trip vacation had me driving our two youngest children home from San Diego with a stop for 2 nights in Anaheim. We ended up needing a last minute stay in a hotel room at the Anaheim Majestic This used to be the castle-themed Sheraton, which I had always loved but never stayed in, due to price when I was younger. God so knows the desires of our heart and loves to surprise us. I had booked it in a hurry without even realizing they were the same due to a name change. Imagine my surprise upon pulling into the parking lot. Oh, I belong to such a good Father God.

Early a.m. 7/17 Father adds icing to his surprise. I wake up so excited and joyful as I have been translated to heaven where I have been seeing, interacting and loving God the Father as a real person, not just this disembodied ethereal Father God we picture on His throne. I wake up thinking “I just love Him so much! I can hardly wait until the heavenly age when I’ll be reunited with Him. Such LOVE. This revelation that He is like a person…approachable…when the Kingdom age arrives. Truly His name is GLORIOUS!

I’ve heard it said that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth…but how pale next to the joy of heaven and reunion with the King of Kings, Lord of Lords..the great I AM. This same God knows your name, and my name and has everything under control. Be at peace.

“The LORD rules the whole earth, and he is more glorious than all the false gods.” Psalm 97:9

Also the same number as date: Revelation 7/17: “The Lamb in the center of the throne (of heaven) will be their shepherd. He will lead them to streams of life-giving water, and God will wipe all tears from their eyes.”
