MY DELIVERANCE HATH COME

Walk in faith, My Children, before He who has the power to deliver thee from thy chains of darkness, with reverence and He shall set thee free and make thy countenance to shine as the sun. For ye will not only see the Light of His rising within thee, but shall come to intimately understand the Light of His Holy wisdom, with clarity and purity of purpose.

Praise and acknowledge Him evermore and He shall guide thee to rivers of true righteousness springing forth there in your desert lands; and thy barrenness will be adorned with the fullness of the beauty and bounty of His planting within thy heart evermore. Yea, and ye shall never lack of His pure oil filling thy candlestick, for your light of love and joy shall never go out, and peace shall flood thy life as ye shall walk purely before thy God.

Come before Him in humility and His Spirit shall ever be thy Teacher and Friend. For his anointing will shower thee in understanding and bathe thee in wisdom abundantly, where ye shall never lack or have a need unfulfilled.

This is His promise to all who seek Him in hope of purity of truth and purpose. I will cleanse them of their impure thoughts and ways. I will make their crooked paths straight and preserve them evermore. For they who cry unto Me for help I will not abandon, nor will they ever be alone and they shall find forgiveness. Unto them I will be their God, and unto Me they shall be My people. They shall become My candlesticks to lighten the darkness round about, to lead others from their bondages unto deliverance and fullness of grace. For redemption is their calling and regeneration is their path to the newness that they have become as the truth of My Light is manifested within them unto full illumination before My Throne evermore.

And they shall go no more out, to wander to and fro; for they are Mine and in My Presence will they dwell from everlasting to everlasting. Their glory shall be My glory, those redeemed from the earth. For who are these who fly as doves to their windows, enraptured by the fullness of My Light? They are My vessels of peace whom I, Myself have rescued from the darkness that sought to consume their soul. Now are they My shining instruments, the song of promise unto all mankind; shining bright as the stars, for the Day Star hath dawned within them and all the darkness hath fled at their coming forth unto Me. All Heaven rejoices their arrival and the earth is made to hear the song of My arising to those I hold so dear.

Come! Come! gather ye; Let all Heaven and earth rejoice! The day of My visitation cometh unto men and a new Day dawneth and ushereth forth the beginning of My reign within creation, for deliverance hath come.

PEACE THROUGH HOPE

Peace cometh forth only by hope. Hope is the rain that washes away the stains of despair and defeat and opens a hole by which My Light begins to overcome the darkness that seeks to consume man. Hope yielding an avenue of light gives man a new view by which he can see that I, Jesus, can provide him an escape from all that he was or could ever become as he traveled the worldly trail, shackled evermore by the lust of the eye (materialism), the lust of the flesh (immorality) and the pride of life (arrogance). By those three was his attention kept in bondage and distant from what I could share with him. Without hope men have only an uncertain future. With hope a kalideoscope of enriching possibilities are offered unto the starving soul.

The light opened by hope releases the lock that opens the door to faith. Faith is the evidence of things yet unseen but hoped for. God sees man by creative faith for He sees you not as you are but as how you will become as His Holy Spirit works within and upon the starving soul; and He counts that transition as if it were completed even though it is still in progress. So now ye can see that God; His plan and purpose, are not shortsighted or uncertain. He knows that ye will stumble from time to time as ye travel towards His purity, coming forth unto all who will submit to His working. He condemns you not, so condemn not yourself. For His creative faith counts you completed and His Love will draw you to the perfection of all things and to the overcoming of all things.

Come closer unto the Bread that He offers you; partake of it gladly. Drink ye of His healing streams and be ye made whole, and He will give unto thee a new heart of purity and a new way of peace. Acknowledge Him and He will guide thy steps towards His righteousness coming forth to reign in you where once flesh ruled, to your detriment.

Flesh speaks to flesh; Spirit speaks to spirit. Check yourself and see where your conversations lie. For to be of Spirit one must evermore be seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and daily must He rescue you from your selfish ideas. Wisdom is the understanding of what the Spirit speaks to your heart. When that understanding is coupled with obedience, true freedom can reign and your peace and joy will ever remain unshakeable, and hope will be enhanced, enlarging the hole for more light to flood thy darkness until complete illumination overtakes thy soul.

TITHE OF LOVE

We have all heard it said that God loves a cheerful giver. However not many of us understand it’s meaning. Christendom teaches that it refers to monetarily satisfying the Levitical requirement of tithes. The gospel of grace infers so much more. For we should see that we are to submit our time, our talents and our resources as well as our money to the furtherance of Jesus’ message.

God forbid that this should be received as a sanction of religious works or of door to door witnessing, as is the practice of Christendom; for those are polluted due to the secondary motive of enhancing an organization. We are told to love our neighbor as ourself, and above ourself, if we are to become worthy of discipleship. To submit of your time should be in aloneness with God, a time for the Holy Spirit to work within your heart’s garden, to reprove or to encourage and to teach the hidden truths of the gospel, and to fill you with the joy of grace that comes from the love of God welling up within your soul. To submit of your time also is to spend time with the widow and the orphan, to fill the needs of those who have a great loss and are unable to provide that which is necessary to the development of those tender ones. For the widow has need of friendship or of your talents to help her around the house, and God watches to see who will help her. The orphan has need of surrogate parenting to guide them through the uncertainty of their loss, their abandonment and their blaming themself for their plight. To extend the hand of God in their behalf is to do according to the gospel message brought forth in Jesus’ day.

To submit our talents in behalf of those in need of our skills allows us to go where the needy reside and to pick them up. The love of the Holy Spirit will bind neighbor to neighbor and friendship will overcome the bigotry and the hatred that so often separates our neighborhoods in jealousy and misunderstanding. Roll up your sleeves, go where the Holy Spirit shows you there is a need. By lifting up your brothers and sisters selflessly, ye will also be lifted up and the Love of God will bind you in oneness and heal the wounds that have divided the brotherhood and grieved God as He watched the warfare between the “haves” and the “have nots”. By so doing each will come to see the other as equal and will come to know that the ideas that separate you are evaporating in the tithe of love between neighbors. James 1:27

To submit of your resources is to allow a time where monetary profit is set aside for the furtherance of a Heavenly Kingdom and to allow the Love of God to be shared and planted within those without hope. Let’s say a man owned a movie theater. Go out and provide tickets and transportation to children or the elderly and allow them an afternoon out; or a man who owns a restaurant, set aside a time to feed the homeless; learn to know your brother and provide his need. You already have more than enough provision for that day. Let’s say a man is a doctor. Set one day aside to care only for those who cannot pay. As you can see, all of us can do more to advance the Kingdom of Promise and to sow seeds of the Love of God within our brothers and sisters.

To use of our time, our talents, and of our resources without secondary motivations, but only to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to a greater understanding; to be a greater help unto and among the brotherhood will make great leaps in the advancement of the Kingdom of God, both within the giver and without to the receiver and all the walls that divide will evaporate in oneness and will train the receiver to become the giver. For all will take away for the experience LOVE.  Divine principles will sprout forth and be planted in places where now they are not evident; and all peoples everywhere will be affected and drawn to the working of God within their communities and within themselves in a greater measure, and God will again bless the efforts of their tithes of time, talents and resources.

ILLUSION  VS.  REALITY

Go slow in the process of life that you may enjoy the beauty that is all around you. I am in the nature that I created and it is for you to absorb life and peace from it, a wealth ye know not of.

In all things that radiate My life, consider thou the lessons therein for man. For surely man has lost the essence of nature as one of his spiritual teachers for the hustle and bustle; and substituted dry teachers and classrooms for that which Nature, herself, could teach him were he but to apply himself to learning, attentive to My Spirit, who would open his eye, mind and heart to these mysteries.

What a classroom I designed for man! But look what he has chosen instead! And how little life (MY Life) be there! I designed man’s spirit to be free and to be fun, an enjoyable experience, a peaceful experience; not to be memorized and continually given tests over; monopolized by man’s wisdom. That which is memorized by force will fail you in it’s season. But that which is written upon your mind and heart by Me shall never fail you though you can and do fail it. TRUTH, written upon the inward parts, the fleshy tables of the heart, the mind and the spirit isn’t easy to escape, thus do My people walk with Me to the extent which they desire to be obedient, whether little or much; their conscience as their Guide and My Spirit of Truth their Teacher and Friend.

Behold, man, whom I have created to worship Me and to have dominion over the earth was NOT supposed to apply that dominion over his fellowman, but was to occupy these lands with them in peace and brotherhood. Instead, it is every man for himself and whoever dies with the best toys and most prestige “wins”. Wins what? To what end do they so kid themselves? That they may surround themselves and their progenitors after them with the wealth and luxury and ease; and deem all not as affluent as “under them”, servants, to be used and abused.

Behold, O man, you are indeed responsible for the wounds you make in spirit in others and I watch all you do and think, keeping accurate records. Think not that it shall not be as the parable of Lazarus the beggar and the rich man named Dives, for behold, even so shall it be for many.

Woe therefore unto the high-minded, who despise poverty! For they shall know it and walk it in fullness! Woe unto them that despise their poverty and the poor and seek to get rich, lusting after the arrogance of wealth, for they shall seek to obtain only to have it all fall through their fingers.

Behold, the animals have no possessions, but behold, they have all they need. But man is now the dumbest of all creatures, for he feels he must ever have more and more; and strives for a dream which is an illusion and cannot be a reality. Surely many have made their way unto success,  O yes, but have you watched them in the night seasons when no one else was watching and seen their misery? Behold, all their wealth and power could not make them happy, satisfied or peaceful. In fact, it made them less so than ever. Take a lesson from them who have great possessions. To have money you must spend money. To keep what you have from leaving you by way of theft or corruption you must devise ways to protect it, which cost money. To live an arrogant lifestyle with servants costs money. But most of all, it costs your soul, which you sell every time you step on your brother man to go higher. Thus do many no longer own their own soul, though they may possess a kingdom, an outward one. They have lost the kingdom within and are overthrown. A sad lot indeed and a bad place to find one’s self.

So much in life, created to draw away your attention from that which is truly worth something, is nothing more than illusion of this or that, wealth, splendor, grandeur. And costs you plenty if you pursue it. Be warned, therefore, and avoid the pitfalls of Satan to entice you by your lust for “things”.

Your T.V. entices you to go after the “good life”, and shows you pictures of what this life should be. Always an illusion, for those things are empty and the smiles, facades hiding the darkness of unhappiness. Behold all these things and cease to pursue luxury, for ye can never have enough but shall ever be seeking to change and rearrange according to how you might accommodate these things in your life arena.

Behold, laden not down thyself with these burdens nor continue to strive for the lusts of luxury, for behold, they shall kill you men and women in many ways ye know not of. I can say to you as I said to Adam and Eve: eat not of that tree, for in the day ye partake of it ye shall surely die. Yet they did partake of it and did not die physically. But spiritually they did die and surely their sorrow was immense when I drove them from My beautiful Garden for their disobedience. But I knew it was worse than disobedience alone; it was “Knowledge” or “reason” which would always fight and argue rather than to obey in child-like innocence. Which would begin to devour all good from My Garden in it’s time. Be not as they but forsake the god “Reason”, for the child-like faith I require of those that would walk with ME. And stop planning for your future to pad yourself with things, luxuries and cars, homes and so forth. For these things only drown you in darkness, debt and defeat. Be content with such things as ye have; stop lusting for that which ye are able to live without.

And stop chasing after beauty which makes many of My Children wanderers away from Me because of their lust. Children of whoredoms in a nation of whoredoms. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, cleanse your hearts of these lusts if ye will follow Me in truth. For know ye not that these things cannot enter into My Kingdom of Peace, Holiness and Purity? Did you not know there will be no such desiring of others in such lusting as you do here? It cannot enter. Neither can such shameless flaunting of the women as they do here.

Many things must change in thee, in thy desires, in thy priorities, before thou shalt be ready to enter My Heavenly Realms. Indeed many seek that heavenly treasure to add that to their earthly trove that they have accumulated, as if to be “better” there also, than their “less fortunate” brothers and sisters. I will faster crown a drunken homeless man than the CEO of a large corporation, who has had all he wanted and needed in his life. Consider these things. For it is not the alcohol that disqualifies one from My Life, but the attitude. Selah.

BEWARE OF FLOWERY WEEDS

Too many of My Children despair of the working of My Holy Spirit within their lives. To them it seems that the fullness is not completed within them. All I can say is that by aloneness in Me and allowing My Holy Spirit to plant truth within you can you be manifested in growth. Seek not always to see the outcome of that planting, for as with all seeds there is a dormant season where only the bare ground is seen. That doesn’t mean that there is no life, for as the seed dies and sprouts forth, the evidence will come forth, either good or bad depending upon what you have sown in your garden.

My Holy Spirit plants the good seed of Spirit while unholy knowledge bringeth forth only weeds. Even though a weed has flowers it is still only a weed and it’s harvest will be only of more weeds to prevent and choke your growth in Me. So be careful of what ye allow to be planted within your garden. Seek unto Me and I will see that your harvest is profitable. Seek unto yourself (flesh) or men and ye shall not be so blessed in the harvest and may be dismayed to find that the flowers you beheld with so much reverence were in fact only weeds of men’s reasoning with no nourishment unto thy soul or unto others.

To those seeking the good planting, the long dormancy of the planted kernel can be frightful, for they know that something was planted, but there is no evidence as they view the bare ground. Even as they see the tender shoots of life breaking the ground they become impatient for the harvest to begin to manifest within them. Worry not, for that which I have planted will bear good fruit. Just allow Me to continue planting within thee the new truths even though you may not know the extent of that gift given. Trust in Me, thy Redeemer, for I would not plant seeds of weeds nor unfruitful vines within My Children.

By faith the harvest will come forth in it’s due season, at the hour I have ordained within thee. For I will give unto thee what thou hast need of at the hour of thy need; not before or after. The gardens of My good planting will be of abundance, a vast reserve to feed all in the time of famine if only My Children will allow My Holy Spirit to continue planting.

Some of My Children feel that enough has been planted and that they will wait and see their harvest before seeking more truth. But those of faith and desire continue to allow My Holy Spirit entrance into their acreage. The former group will only yield a 30-fold or a 60-fold harvest while the potential of the latter could be 1000-fold or 10,000-fold. The more you allow Me to have of yourself the more of Me ye shall receive, and the greater thy harvest in the last days. See within yourself as to how receptive ye are to My truths being planted within thee and to thy seasons of reproof (weedings of those blessed flowery weeds) of man’s reasonings within thy heart.

Seek Me and I shall be found of thee; seek unto men and they will rob thee of My glory being manifested within thee. For I am the harvest of bounty with abundance to share; profitable to all who partake thereof. Men are the harvest of flowery weeds and only of hunger and want.

Come unto My Holy Spirit that ye be not hungry and without at the time appointed unto the Harvest of the wheat and the tares. Selah. Lean not unto thine own understanding of what is growing there in thy garden, for only I can know the nature and outcome of what each plant is and only My Holy Spirit can separate the “wheat” and the “tares”. You don’t have the ability or the insight to know which be bad or good by outward appearance. For what looks good (flowery weeds) may not always be as it is seen. Only I know what is inside the hearts of men and in whom their trust is placed.

BETHEL; “HOUSE OF GOD”

Enter ye with praise into My Presence and come to the sanctuary of My Being; the inward Temple of My New Jerusalem, and ye shall find Me there in your heart waiting for thee with everlasting Love, with arms opened wide to receive thee and thy offering. For there within will ye find Me and the joy and the peace that ye seek; for My fullness is complete and completed there within, where ye reside, and I am with you always to encourage thee and to guide thee to My pure Rivers of Truth.

Return ye not unto Bethel; be ye not enticed by the great congregations that man has built upon the sands of compromise. For they are houses built without mortar and will collapse suddenly when My Holy Spirit winds blow; yea, they shall fall as the house of cards; the illusion that they are. Bow ye not before the living idols of men; be not bewitched by the statues of saints or angels that man hath presented to adorn their tombs of the dead. For there is no life, nor am I to be found upon or within their grounds or they who inhabit them.

Seek only after Me, Jesus, if thou art to find Me. Ask only of Me and My Holy Spirit will answer thy soul’s cry with the understanding that ye desire. And ye shall find Me and be found of Me and we shall abide in and as one. I shall be found at any hour if ye seek Me in the way and in that inward place where I await thee.

For Bethel is the abomination of desolation built by men’s hands, a cheapened counterfeit to confound My people and I did not ordain it to be established. Bethel is the habitation of devils, a stream of strange fire and all idolatry worthy only to yield damnation to those who frequent her palaces.

For my servants are cast away by her leaders and My Holy Spirit is disdained in their midst, thus are they comfortless and no comfort can be found there. Return unto Jerusalem’s promise and seek ye My true blessing upon thee and thy household. For only I can restore thee from thy wandering; only I can cleanse thee from Bethel’s stains and give unto thee a spotless garment, acceptable and righteous before thy Creator. Only by My Grace, saith thy Redeemer, shall any behold my glory and My Light rising within thee.

Look inward, not outward or upward, and ye shall come to see and ye shall come to know thy promised salvation, and will become enabled to receive full and complete redemption. For the election of Grace is one of regeneration changing all of the old into My New Jerusalem, built only within thee. Selah!

Bethel is a house of jealousy erected by Jeroboam when Israel and Judah split into two nations which was the legacy of Solomon and his whoredoms and idolatry; bred by the wanderings of his reliance upon his wisdom. Ever since has man been more enticed and entranced by the GIFT of God rather than the GIVER, the “I AM” of old.

Jeroboam threw out My servants, the Levites of My choosing, and ordained his own unholy priests to oversee the house he built in My Name. To Me, the “I AM” of old, Bethel and Dan became “Ichabod”. Centuries have concealed the truth of Christendom’s creation and the deception upon My people. Now will I destroy the myth and set the people free of their bondage to that unholy house that is without foundation. For I shall sweep it and it’s remnants away, never more will they flaunt their evils before My face. That is why My servant John said to flee from her and escape her punishment. This is but one mystery that has confounded mankind since Bethel’s inception.

Freedom will only be found in the forgiveness given unto thee individually as the new age cometh forth. All who cling to their traditions and doctrines and to the ceremony of this whore will be judged spiritual adulterers at My Judgement Seat. Selah!

Repent ye and return ye this day unto Me if ye are to be spared, saith the Almighty; and I will restore unto thee My True House and I will be thy God and ye will be My people.

JUDGEMENT ON BETHEL

Amos 3:13-15 “Hear ye and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the God of Hosts; that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel and the horns of the altars shall be cut off and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house and the summer house and the houses of ivory shall perish and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.”

My Children, be ye not deceived. Bethel is the root from which Christendom has risen and when the root is cut the whole tree will surely die. Though they claim and appear to be holy, they are the source of abominations and are the source of lies based upon the compromise of their elders which have prevented My Truth from coming forth to feed the flock. The people know not where they reside; they care not to question the established order, for they are asleep.

Awaken and arise before slumber overtakes thee evermore. Come out of her palaces and I, Jesus, will give thee Truth and understanding; and wisdom shall set you free and ye shall be free indeed. Let My Holy Spirit deliver thee and ye shall be alert evermore.

Watchmen, sound ye forth the alarm that hypocrisy should die within the congregation and the dawning light of the new day will refresh and renew you from your slumber. Stretch forth and receive ye new life and give praise unto Him alone who is worthy, lest His anger come upon you in your slumber.

Return not unto Bethel’s beckoning, even though Christendom calleth unto thee; for she is the whore of which John warned thee and her reward is hell and damnation. Yea, the whole organization must and will fall, saith the Almighty, for My word will not return unto Me void; and through My servant Amos did I declare it to be so.

What hath the righteous to do with or in the palaces of unrighteousness? Where can truth be found in the lie of men’s imaginings? No man, no minister nor any organization speak for Me, the “I AM” of old. For My power resides not with or in them. They and their palaces are decay overlaid in gold and silver at My people’s expense and I declare I shall allow it no more. Though they dress themselves in royal robes and overlay their rust with ivory, they will crumble at My Coming to expose them and to destroy them evermore before all Creation.

Pay heed unto My words and fear only Me, saith the “I AM” of old. Debate not within yourself or your congregations or compromise will be your downfall and ye shall perish with her. Ye ministers, return into your prayer closets, repent and seek My Holy Spirit to come upon thee or I shall hold thee accountable for the loss of thy flock.

All that is false shall be exposed and everyone will lament for their misplaced faith. So shall governments and alliances which held her up not escape her promised wrath. For My judgement will begin in the so-called “house of God”, at Bethel. Only those who flee will escape; only those that return unto Me shall be saved and judgement and righteousness shall be established from on high. Only that which I ordain and did establish shall escape the firestorm of My wrath; ashes will be the reward of all men’s works and all of men’s foundations shall be made into powder. I sent unto thee My Holy Spirit to correct thee, but thy elders cast Him out and dulled their ears to His reproof and blinded their eyes to His existence. “He was for another time”, they declared, as they refused the gifts He was sent to bestow upon the congregations. Even those who claim His guidance want to keep Him on a leash and parade Him around for show; all prophecy and gifts subjected to the authority of the rulers of that group.

Nay, saith God, My Holy Spirit shall be freed from men’s cage and I care not what men teach, for I will show all My power, My healing, and My Truth; and My Holy Spirit shall initiate My New Pentecost to confound and to torment all who dwell in Bethel. This day do I declare it to be so.

Men shall come to see and to know the True Church of My own making and see it’s delivering power to awaken all who have been sleeping on the benches of Bethel and the powerless fraud shall be ashamed and embarrassed, then shall her end come quickly upon her and all who will not awaken from her spell. Selah.

COME DEEP INTO TRUTH

Reach with independent hands into My River of Truth. Stay not out of My pool till another helps thee, but climb in on thy own. Fear not, I will be there to help thee. Fear not the deep so that thou stay in shallow waters, for know that My Truth runs deep and shall be deep in thee as thou dost wade deeper into Me. I am Truth. Cast yourself into the power of Truth and know it’s transforming influence in and upon you, bringing forth peace, joy, happiness and Love in abundance. Radiant desire shall show as a glory upon thy face. Why would you run from Me, thy Redeemer? So many claim to love Me with all their hearts, and yet are afraid to hear Me speak to them.

Run to Me, My people, and be not afraid. My Spirit of Truth must have your attention and your permission to be able to teach you. I promised He would show you things to come. I promised He would lead you and not leave you comfortless. But you must accept His guidance and acknowledge His presence. He is not seen or known by the world of religion, though some claim to have Him in their midst.

O Come, O ye My hungry peoples! And ye who would see miracles, be ye prepared not to be only spectators but enter the flow and be one of them whom I can use to help the others. Be not content to sit on the sidelines and applaud but be ye a part of the action, yea, of My Holy Spirit Revival. Be ye filled with My Holy Spirit and with My Fire. And I will prophesy through many this day who yield their all to Me.

Come, saith the Master unto all who desire to be students of My Holiness and Purity.  Selah!

AS I OVERCAME, SO SHALL YE

Seek ye to find the stillness and peace within your heart in humility, that ye may find pureness and unity within thyself; that My Love might bring thee into unity with Me and with My purpose and plan for thy group this day. Then can unity be established and completed as My Holy Spirit brings forth understanding that ye may receive of My Light. As all are brought into that oneness, all who remain stilled shall be given of My word coming forth; for I would have all trumpets to declare My triumphs within their own walk before Me, that all might be strengthened and all might be edified by faith being enlarged in the hearts of all gathered.

For I love each of thee with an everlasting Love, even those who are not present today, as the Body is assembled before Me. Seek to come more fully into My Spirit and let it fill thy dryness as a sponge, thirsty for a drink; and I will fill thee and thy parchedness will blossom and bring forth much fruit in the harvest. The more of My Spirit ye can drink, the greater the reward. Let it fill thee completely and be ye immersed in My Love for thee and ye shall shine forth as the stars in the darkness that surrounds thee.

Let your light so shine before all men and send forth My Love by your walk in Me. Let your silent witness be manifested and I will calm every storm that comes round about thee and My Spirit will ever keep thee in peace. All who will encounter you will be drawn to that peace and in thy stillness shall My Spirit witness truth to all.

Praise Me evermore and let thy spirit speak, for I long to hear the utterance of thy heart, and ye will grow strong and your light will shine more intense as joy and happiness overtakes thee even in thy deepest depression. Be ye not influenced by the world. For as I overcame the world so shall ye. Practice creative faith and begin to assert that authority and ye shall find yourself to be the influence for My sake in every situation, and great growth and confidence shall ye find as I establish thee in the fullness of My faith coming forth in thee.

A mustard seed starts small but grows large. Start today and let your seed grow to great heights and the glory of thy faith shall overcome all that the world and the darkness shall send against thee.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Without faith it is impossible to overcome thy hindrances. Without faith it is impossible to receive the true understanding that My Holy Spirit would give unto thee and without faith thy peace is evermore threatened and overthrown by doubt and fear.

Be ye steadfast, My Children, and My faith will sustain thee in thy moments of weakness. Return unto Me and find the stillness and all doubts and fears will vanish and ye shall be firmly rooted and planted in Me and in My Truth planted within thee, and My Light will fill thee again with peace unshakable and ye, too, will overcome the world, even as I overcame.

STAY IN MY SPIRIT AND REST

Feel the beauty of the Truth, and the peace of the place of rest where darkness cannot enter and defile. Seek not to desire the entering again of the elements of darkness which I have removed till I can deliver them from their darkness, that they do not defile nor destroy the peace of My meeting. For indeed ye all are more aware of the strife than you know, your spirits picking up it’s subtle workings. If any of you are feeling worried what others in your midst are thinking about you, than are your spirit’s awarenesses being challenged. But I would that ye see that element has been removed that was causing anxiety in your midst. And I would that ye absorb the peace and rest of complete acceptance in My Presence.

Behold distractions can’t destroy thy spirit calm as ye let all your anxious thoughts from home be laid in the dust before My altar. And as thou dost offer thyself -- thy whole self -- upon My altar, know that My peace and acceptance gets even greater. You need these times of silence, aloneness and peace in absence of the stress which normally surrounds you. Be aware of this need in you to get away, and do it for yourself and for My sake. Be not the family martyr, being sacrificed for others and by others selfishly. For they realize not the demands they put upon you and the accumulated whole of the demands of all of them combined; nor the weight of their burdens upon your back, nor your need and desire to get away and to break free of the stress and the pressures of your life. Mothers, take some time of your own and relax in Me. It is necessary to regain control of your own emotions. Focus on Me when IN the stress and OUT of the stress, for know that I am thy Shield, and a circuit breaker unto thee when the load is too much. Relax and enjoy My Presence. Soak in; absorb My Holy Spirit as a dry and thirsty sponge. Enjoy My Presence and them in which you find acceptance without competition.

Yes, the world is a harsh and cold place. It has never accepted you, nor will it, ever. But that is not to worry thee, as ye are citizens and ambassadors of another Kingdom. And your eyes are to be set on that rather than to be focusing on the injustices of this place. For injustice reigns here for now. The world shall only give thee tribulation, heartache and pain. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world, and through Me, ye shall also overcome. Yet hide under the shadow of My wings, for there ye can find peace.

Understand that My peace is an attribute of My Presence. And therefore seek to be there always; desire it; strive to stay in it. For outside My Presence there is not peace but only turmoil. The multitude of troubles and problems cause “attitudes” in the people who focus on them, therefore be not aware, but let these things go by you. The stress and pressures upon them who walk afar off in disobedience shall increase. In their frenzy to put these pressures off from them they will turn to you, trying to pile it on you, or at least to destroy thy peace. I say if they do, release it all unto Me. Hold none of it within thyself to worry about. You cannot save the neighborhood nor carry it’s troubles for it. Don’t even try. Look unto Me, saying “ Thy will be done”, releasing it all to Me concerning them. Know that in troubles, family members turn unto one another for help and support, or at least to dump some of their stress. More and more this shall be seen and known. Likewise, friends and close acquaintances shall turn to one another for these reasons; all seeking to put off from them the heavy burdens that accumulate because of their walking at a distance from Me. They have no other place to unload. No caring ears to hear their plight. I know they will come to “dump” these things upon thee. And thou realize that thy own back is no stronger than theirs. But thy head and heart is clear only because thou hast learned where to bring thy troubles and thy stress; releasing it unto Me at My feet. Thus when others come to you, I would that ye speak unto them the truth of where they can find release and ease in Me; and that the stress and pressures will only get harder and stronger than today except they learn to come to Me to repent and to find peace. And you, carry none of those burdens for them but keep all those things yielded up. For in all of these things, Satan would load thee down with the problems and troubles of others so as to the loss of all your peace, filling your heart with despair, and with the problems of others defiling you. Know and understand; each one is suffering the effects of violated law within themselves, and because they allow their thoughts free reign upon whatever they desire. It is their troubles; their problems; their pressures. You may pray for them; you may feed them within reason. You may spend time talking to them; yet bear not their pressures and troubles but give all these things to Me. And pray that as My Fire continues to get hotter they will see their need to repent and to bring these things to Me themselves, which is their responsibility. And know that thy peace is not to be shattered by others.

Strengthen thy heart in My Spirit and rest. So shall ye have of My Rivers of Living Water and True Bread for the needy of this love-starved world. As you pour out I will refill. As you help others I will help you. Your needs will be met as you meet the needs of others. Only carry not their troubles upon you, for it is for their learning and growth, even as thy own troubles have been for yours. You are responsible to Me for YOU, and the example you are to others. Feel not responsible for their deeds, if you did not influence them by your own example unto them. Let every man, woman and child bear the results of their own actions and you stay focused, clean and clear and offered up before Me, saith the First of many Sons and Daughters to overcome.  Selah!

TREASURE OF THE HEART

Treasure of the heart is what you think and do. What you hold on dearly to. If you hold personal things to you, that is your treasure. But if you hold spiritual things, this is your treasure. Hold nothing of personal things because they do not hold value at all. But if you hold godly things, that is the true treasure. Gold and silver cannot get you into the Kingdom of God. But spiritual values will. Where your heart is, is where the Kingdom of God values are. Hold not your family or house or monies as values, because they will perish in the mist. But hold values of God; the peace of God, the Love of God, the forgiveness of God, these are spiritual values. Trust God with all your hearts, My Little Ones, hold nothing dear to you or all will fail before your eyes. Selah! Amen.

HIDDEN SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS

The only true righteousness that can be found in man is the righteousness that My Holy Spirit confers upon the obedient. The only true judgements that can be found in man are, again, those given by My Holy Spirit. For only I know the hearts and minds of both the judge and the judged when men seek to judge each other.

All men are bound in degrees of self-righteousness in all that they perceive, and their judgements are unrighteously self-serving and can never come close to My insight of justice. By My mercy are all delivered who seek My leading. For things are never as they seem when viewed by the eyes of men whose hearts and minds are veiled. My light can shine forth and penetrate those veils that all might come to see the equity I require in the justice that My determination sends forth so that My Truth might be manifested.

Only those who seek My guidance and wait upon Me will ever come to know and to see My understanding of righteousness or judgement. Those who hurry to judgement without waiting are found unrighteous, and more often than not, hinder the work that I am doing. Be ye not concerned about the unrighteousness that thou dost see round about thee or in the lives that ye would seek to influence. For I shall deal with it and them in My way and My time. First, see only the self-righteousness within thyself and repent as My Light shines upon it. Focus only on the Light that exposes it and not upon thy failing. For to focus on the flaw will cause thee to despair or to justify, either of which will prevent My work within thee. To focus upon the Light shined in mercy will give thee hope. That hope will show thee to be merciful, patient, and to have compassion upon others as I showed them unto thee. For they are no worse, nor are ye any better, in My eyes. For I judge all to fall far short, due to doubt and unbelief.

Seek ye to ever come higher in Me. For the higher ye ascend the more ye will see only thine own shortcomings, and will cease to focus upon others. Thus can perfection and purity come forth in thee. Those who come to know and to view the hidden sins in themselves will ever be humbled by their plight. Those who are satisfied with their condition seek ever to be blinded to themselves. For they delight in the good that they see within themselves and they become as the Pharisee and are rivers of self-righteousness and ever get in My way, preventing My Truths from coming forth. So I must cast them aside until reformation enters into their heart and they come to see themselves no better than the publican; for all are sinners, some outward, some inward, and all fall short of what I would bestow upon them.

Until ye find humility and come to see within thy own veil ye cannot be effectively used by Me in My work; neither in this kingdom, nor in the one coming forth. Selah.

Clean up the inside and even your outside shall sparkle with the brightness of My Light shining forth. But to ignore the inside and clean up only the exterior will only consume the Light that I could manifest within thee, and will leave a shadow of darkness round about thee evermore. Saith thy Redeemer.

LET NOT REJECTION MOVE YOU

Know the stillness to be thy strength; and unity and brotherhood to be thy “friend” and thy “family”. For know that the world in others will compete, leaving you feeling inadequate and unloved; “less” than others who lift up themselves in the pride of their hearts and the arrogance of their minds.

Know that I see the thoughts and hidden intentions of all. I will repay, so don’t let it bother you. All men are equal, no matter what they think. I have made each of you and I know your strengths and weaknesses. Let no one’s outward judgement or assessment of you or of your worth-while-ness move you. “Honor”, the true honor, will come from thy God, but not from men. Therefore get used to the fact that you will not be accepted, then rejection will not bother you or destroy your peace of mind and spirit. As thy Master, thou wilt be rejected. Thou wilt be persecuted; thou wilt be railed against, both in and out of thy presence. But forgive your enemies, remembering their blindness for My sake.

Only [make sure you] love the poor, the widows and the orphans who are precious to Me, and see that as ye do for them, ye do it unto Me.

Behold, thy world is a bad place, but be comforted that it is better now than it shall be; so rejoice and release your burdens of care. Take time to be refreshed, especially out in nature somewhere. Let nature heal the wounds that the stifling city life hath made upon you. Do you think I will be found less in a meadow or by a stream than I would be where you live? Nay; you would find better awareness of Me in all things around you. So, while you can, enjoy My nature classroom that I have made, and get out in it and release yourself to Me. Surely I will show you many things if thou wilt allow thyself to be teachable to the Spirit in nature.

Behold, I am in you and you in Me. Acknowledge Me there and everywhere. I AM.  Understand therefore and walk with Me, ever looking for the lesson I would teach thee, saith the Lord, even the “I AM” of old. Selah.

LINKS TO THE LORD

Links to the Lord are made by giving all to the Lord every day of your life. Every moment of your life; every thing of your life. Links are a highway to the heavenly gates on the other side. Give all to the Lord every day. No matter what the problems are, give all. Every day is a new day and a new problem; links can link you to the Holy Spirit and other new things the Lord has in store for you. Links are made to better you and your family’s future through prayers and fasting. Links are made to live life with Christ; and Christ would like you to be linked to Him and His Holy Spirit. Evil links can be broken through love and faith and forgiveness to others. Broken hearts can and will be repaired through these links. Selah! The Lord of Hosts.

COMPROMISE NOT MY TRUTH

My Eternal Plea unto all is to come down into the depths of humility and to view yourself as NOTHING, and your knowledge, NOTHING. Wherefore others, in the pride of their knowledge “have to stand away from you for awhile” because they are “unsure of your writings or purpose or intent”. Know that they seek only to pursue self’s way of knowledge, and their pride in that knowledge, which isn’t of Me and which I hate, saith the Lord.

I call all men and women everywhere to submit their knowledge to My Cleansing Fire of Holy Spirit, that it may be purged of it’s filthiness, having been learned in the houses of Christendom. Wherein they find fault with you and criticize you, they criticize not you but Mine Holy Spirit and thus when they turn their back, they do it not upon you but upon My Comforter, the Holy Spirit of Truth.

Know this and be wise. You must be without friends if necessary, so that you will not compromise truth. For to be friends with all is to compromise Me to please all; and I would have you speak My words unto all without fear or favor to any nor respect of their person. Know that friends have and will leave you to do their own thing; go their own way. You must let all make their own choice.

But follow thou Me and compromise not what you believe and/or I have said for the sake of the  feelings of any man or woman but be truthful unto all. Flesh bids you to humor them and put on “kid gloves” to save them from their decision to disbelieve. I say stand firm in your resolve concerning what I said and back down from it to no one.

For behold My truth is bitter to flesh who wants to survive in every man, but It delivers all them who will follow It’s directives. So it is not about winning friends and influencing people, but it is about every man’s choice to follow “self” and “flesh” or follow ME. And so let all know the way of humility I have taught you and let them accept it or reject it unto Me, not unto thee. Be not personally hurt by their rejection. But do pray for their eventual returning, says the Lord to you.

Those that are ashamed of ME and of My words and thus deny Me before men I must deny before My Eternal Father. Be not ashamed therefore, of My words for the sake of anyone’s flesh. Be a stranger to all if you must but speak My truth without the compromise that flesh seeks to save itself with.

Behold, every man will follow something or someone. Behold, point the way unto My straight and narrow path and let all make their own decision whether as to follow Me or the wisdom and pride of flesh’s knowledge of religion, which produces only Pharisees. I have given thee the right way. And ye mourn when people reject you. You are one with My will, heart and mind. They reject not you but ME.

Show them these My words of instruction to you, that they might see My strict guidelines and that they may see the results of their wrong decision; yea, separation from Me. They come not to thee because they are drawn by thy charm. But they are driven by their hunger for Me. In their hunger they hunt for signs of life. Having seen signs of life, they will either receive it with gladness or reject it, loving better the substitute food of Christendom; depending on how badly they want Me. (For they all say they want Me in their life, but to what degree?) And thus is their willingness to sacrifice or not sacrifice flesh’s way made evident.

Behold, all men think that their flesh is “good” and “right to follow”. Behold, they have made them religions to follow it’s impetus and ways. Many different kinds, in which all have “some truth”, but also much lies mixed therein; so that none may seek to deliver themselves from the beast within called “Self”, but rather seek to look for one without themselves. And they pamper themselves. Behold, all such religions shall go into My fire and only ashes remain. And all their wise teachers, as tall oak trees, shall be completely devoured. And all them who followed the ways of men’s teaching and leadership shall find they have no inheritance, but wood, hay and stubble, to be burned away in My Fire.

Behold, for years; for decades, they labor in their religions that deliver not them or any others and believe that I will save them for their “well-doing” because of their tithing and participation. Behold, what good is that when upon the inside is all corruption and deceit? Even the Psalmist declared that he beheld that he was in the midst of all evil in the great congregation. And think ye that these congregations today are different? “Yea, we are Christians!” they will answer. To which My reply shall be: Whoso hath not My Spirit as their only Teacher hath not Me, Jesus Christ, nor hath heard, seen or known My Truth. Selah. And behold, I AM TRUTH. Selah. And My Truth shall cut away all the lies called “doctrines” and “traditions” and “customs” of men, that freedom from these chains might be brought forth unto My people who truly love Me and seek Me to the loss of all their cash. Selah.

They who are led of Me are My Sheep. They who listen to My Voice and run from the voices of strangers, I shall lead them Myself unto green pastures and still waters; and they shall come into My Rest from all the labors/works man taught them, and they shall know My Peace and My Covenant. And I will be their ONLY God and shall write My own laws in their minds and hearts that they follow only Me always and forever. Amen.

My heart aches that all should know this, therefore print it, saith the Lord.

CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT

Behold My Light and Life. It is all and in all. In some it is buried so deep under mountains of flesh and resistance, yet nevertheless I have lightened every man that came into the world with My Light of Truth. The conscience of every one is proof of this, yet many disregard it’s subtle warnings. Falling away into darkness and death is a process in growth and learning for everyone, but come again unto Me and repent that I may forgive you. And understand that, that Light of Truth within you is ME, working to save you from your bad choices, and to instill in thee good desires and holy inspiration.

Let My Holiness flood your soul with Light, chasing away your darkness; and realize thy “conscience” is MY VOICE within thy heart and mind to direct you, to lead, guide and reprove you where necessary. Shut not out it’s influence, for without it you would perish in the evil choices you would make.

Yea, the world would be a hell unsurpassed by anyone’s imaginings were My Voice of conscience to be removed or ignored by all. Thus teach your children to hear Me through the movings of their conscience, and they will never feel alone or without My help, counsel and guidance.

Ye are Children of the Light who follow My Light. Stay in the Light and keep thyself clear and clean in thy conscience. Realize ye walk and talk with Me always there listening. There is no word or thought I do not hear. Likewise, there is no desire for Me that I will not speedily fill. So learn of Me and talk to Me. I am always with you, My Beloved Children. Amen.

SPIRITUAL DISTRACTION

Those who want to keep their stillness and their peace must pursue it in Me. Take authority over that which has carried thee away and caused thee to drift and return ye, fully centered upon Me. For the longer ye continue to be influenced by distractions, the harder it will be to again become centered. I cannot do it for you; ye must take the first step and ask for it. Nor will I override thy will if ye persist in being swayed by much noise. I have given thee authority to overcome; behave like it and exercise the responsibility of thy office and ye shall again be successful in thy endeavors and thy peace and joy will return. If you need anointing, ask for it. Too many times, ye have not for ye ask not, My Children.

EXERCISE THAT I HAVE GIVEN

To each of you I give to the degree or in the amount that ye will receive of Me. When I give unto thee an authority, a gift or an understanding to enhance your ability to overcome, then ye become responsible to exercise them, both for yourself and for others, and you will grow effectively in wisdom and stature as grace is given unto thee. When My Children do not exercise what they have been given then they are overcome and are ever in need that My servants and My Spirit work in their behalf to free them of that which they should have done for themselves. I did not leave you defenseless, but lack of faith causes you to freeze when the assaults come.

Until you become proficient in the authority, the gift or walk in understanding, ye will ever be the toddler. I would have thee to grow unto fullness of maturity with more authority, more gifts and completeness of understanding unto pure streams of wisdom.

For My Firstborn must be likened fully unto Me, Jesus; and must be endowed with boldness and unwavering faith in the exercise of their office if they are to do My greater works and to restore creation.

At a word shall kingdoms within thee fall; at a thought shall strongholds be cast away like Jericho, and ye shall see My hand working in thy behalf, and dark powers and principalities shall tremble at thy passing, for I, Jesus, have anointed thee and hath given unto thee power to overcome as I empowered My disciples long ago.

Now shall ye find that unshakable peace and unending joy that you thought to be ever elusive and escaping thee. For I have set thee free and ye are free indeed. Remain humble and praise Me and I shall bestow even greater unto thy care.

DON’T FIGHT WITH MY WISDOM

My Children, awaken unto Me and Me alone and I will give unto thee understanding. As all will come to see in the end, I can only do that within thee which ye freely allow My hand to do. Before I can complete the building of My Tabernacle of Wisdom as the centerpiece of your New Jerusalem being erected within thee, ye must desire and give Me permission to destroy completely thy old temple which men have built within thee. I must remove all the debris and cleanse the site before new construction -- “regeneration” -- can begin to be accomplished. As long as ye seek to hold onto cherished bricks of what ye believed to be goodness and to demand that My Master Builder, the Holy Spirit, incorporate them into the new structure, ye will come to see thy construction delayed indefinitely. For He finds you unwilling to be fitted with that which I have ordained.

I have warned you of spiritual D.N.A. (Does Not Apply) and that it would be a blight unto thy soul. Now are some seeing evidence of this. For I told you that your building would be erected line upon line, precept upon precept. Each newsletter is a layer of bricks to circumference thy whole building; the next is another layer upon the first and so on until the walls are completed. Those who apply D.N.A. will find their layers incomplete. For as My Holy Spirit seeks to lay that brick they yank them out before the mortar of faith hath established it firmly, thus He cannot work within them and their building lags behind in completion. For they cannot understand the next principles being brought forth and will not accept them being laid without explanation. None will understand the beauty of what I would do, nor will they behold it until My Holy Spirit is completed with His task. Then and only then will ye fully understand the strength or necessity of each brick within the completed walls. Accept by blind faith that which perplexes you and let the building be completed.

The true strength comes in completion, not in the individual bricks (ie truths or gifts bestowed) for all are interconnected and ye know not what each represents within the total picture being drawn. Only I, Jesus, the Architect in charge, have a grasp on the conception of how your building should look when completed. Those revered truths ye seek to hold onto, (ie bricks from the old temple) may still have to be reintroduced in later levels. Only I know when and where I would have them laid. Get not in the way and allow Me to continue and ye shall progress well and will be pleased when My Holy Spirit turns the property back over to your occupancy.

In the end many will come to see the Pharisee who, unyielding to My instruction, will be standing perplexed and confused, for D.N.A and his refusal to turn loose of his wisdom for Mine; while the publican, who accepted in child-like faith, is filled with joy at his deliverance unto his new habitation.

I will always give you better than you had if only you will allow Me to work and just gladly receive with thanksgiving. Now let us continue and the Holy Spirit will complete thy Tabernacle of Wisdom and I will occupy and adorn thy New Jerusalem beyond what you could ever imagine; and it will be worthy of the treasures I will bestow. But there will be none of man’s reasonings or treasures found there to cheapen it, for I will not cut corners or allow compromise to be overlaid. Thy tabernacle shall be based upon purity or it will not stand.

Seek unto Me and I will show thee what hinders it’s completion. For the time is short and the hour of My visitation cometh to open that which I have ordained. Let it be readied without delay or question.

ALL-INCLUSIVE COMPROMISED GOSPELS

Compromise will never seek, nor does it desire to find truth. It only attempts to incorporate all gospels into itself that it might be more palatable and non-offensive to everyone. By it’s desire to be all-inclusive it will always be impure and rejected by Me, saith Jesus.

For My words spoke of the separation of wheat and tares, separation of sheep and goats, separation of righteous and unrighteous in the last days. So all who desire the all-inclusive compromised gospels are not of Me, saith the One who knows all truth. Men have ever been attempting to interpret the scriptures by their own reasoning and will not come to or attempt to understand the Spirit by which they were written. So they will never understand nor can they teach truth wisely among their congregations.

That is why I called thee out and offered unto all who would receive it, to learn from and by the Spirit of Truth that defines and transcends all the ages from everlasting to everlasting. From Him shall ye have your veils removed and come to understand the truth of all wisdom; and to know the completion of all mysteries concerning what is really truth. For He alone is qualified and ordained to minister such; all others are imposters, cisterns without water and will yield no life unto the true seeker. Selah!

REMAIN NOT A CATERPILLAR

My Children, hear Me well. For I, thy Redeemer, do declare unto thee that those who will resist My changes coming forth cannot be regenerated. They can be likened unto the caterpillar, who crawled into his cocoon and would not allow the new life to come forth and cannot become the butterfly I intended.

In the cocoon, by their unwillingness to receive the new, they are stagnant, decaying and in decline. For their wisdom is defeating their completion as they cling unto that which they knew, and will not accept by faith what I would give. They cannot comprehend the beauty of the unknown gift and will not accept the end of their old self.

Release all that binds thee to that which failed thee and left thee powerless, and learn to spread your wings in flight. Leave the dust kingdom evermore and come with Me into the Kingdom of the air. For there is where the butterfly finds his freedom, unshackled from the domain of his former caterpillar mentality.

Only through regeneration can My Holy Spirit prepare thee for manifesting and endowment. Yea, the greater gifts of thy redemption; far beyond that which man hath taught thee or can ever understand. For man has a caterpillar’s understanding that is bounded and limited in vision. The spirit has the butterfly’s ability to ascend into the greater heights and to see Me as I AM.

THE HOUR OF MY VISITATION

Those who seek My Light shall find it while those who cleave unto the darkness shall be ashamed at the hour of My visitation. For no man knoweth the manner or hour of My coming to give unto all according to the desires of their heart.

My Children, flee ye into your closets and find Me in thy aloneness, for in this hour I am come unto individuals without pomp or fanfare. Come unto Me that might prepare thee, that I might reprove thee and that I might cleanse thee of all seeds of unrighteousness. For all have within them the conflict of good and evil. My Father hath ordained it to be so until the hour of My visitation. He determined it to be so that a complete cleansing would bring forth justice at the end of the age.

Fear not of thy unworthiness, for all are unworthy to partake of His riches. By grace are ye freed; by love can ye be redeemed and restored of all thy wanderings; but ye must come into His Presence alone. None may enter by the great congregations of the solemn assemblies. Only in your closets can repentance bring peace unto thy soul and a certainty of thy deliverance.

Come to the fountain of My forgiveness and I shall wash thee of all thy stains and make thee spotless. My word shall establish thee and I shall speak unto thee. My Holy Spirit will guide thee and give thee peace. Learn to dwell in My Presence that ye might be instructed and ye will grow in grace unto complete overcoming.

The way of the upright is to depart from evil; he who watches his way preserves his life unto everlasting. Walk ye in the light and ye shall not stumble, for My Spirit shall hold thee up and your conscience shall be free. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or tremble at thine enemy’s assaults; for the Lord thy God is the One who goes with you. He will not fail or forsake thee in thy hour of need. Come to depend upon His strength, His guidance and His Light and ye shall dwell securely and ye shall walk uprightly before thy Creator.

I WILL ESTABLISH ZION

Woe be unto thee, shepherds of Bethel’s congregation. For I, Jesus, do see the spell ye cast upon My flock for a pretense that ye may be elevated and esteemed. Thou art Pharisees and unworthy shepherds caring not for My people, nor for My words. For ye consult with each other in thy convocations, thy conferences and thy retreats at My people’s expense. Lavish are thy provisions while My sheep do hunger and are famished, for thy provision for them is lean while ye grow fat upon their tithes.

Yea, and ye have scattered My sheep, cast My meek ones aside and driven them far from Me. Yet do ye claim to have all truth as you feed them the lies of compromise and care not for their souls. Thy end is upon thee and thy palaces are become a desolation unto thee. They are the habitation of every foul spirit and hypocrisy is thy trademark. Ye train My little ones in ways they should not go and refuse to have thy crooked paths straightened, for ye are proud and ravening wolves, feasting upon My flocks, caring only for thy lofty status among men.

Woe unto thee Bethel, for I, Myself shall gather My flocks from thee and shall feed them with My Truth. I will gather them from wherever ye have driven them. I will bind up those you have broken in your neglect and together they shall be a testimony against thee. My Holy Spirit will nourish them along rivers of righteousness flowing through My good pastures.

I will set shepherds of My choosing to care for them and they shall be fed and peace shall come upon them. For they shall be secure in Me and out of thy domain. My Light shall be unto them and they shall be spared of thy darkness. For ye refuse My Light that I have sent unto thee and ye cast My servants aside and grieve My Holy Spirit.

For I would have deliverance, but ye shepherds of Bethel refuse My call to purity. Now shall I deliver them from thee and cast thee and thy palaces aside evermore.  Woe, woe, woe shall come upon thee in waves and now I shall drive and scatter thee. Ye shall learn to flee from Me lest My anger be rekindled upon thy hypocrisy and compromise. Ye shall learn to repent and shall come to know humility, for from thy lofty perch shall ye be cast down and all shall see thy demise and ye shall come to know the fear of the Lord. For I, Myself, shall do this thing and cleanse the blight upon the souls thou hast ravished. For ye shepherds of Bethel are found lacking, wanting in the balances, and ye will be judged until every plant My Heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up and burned. Then shall He crush thy foundations and topple thy palaces.

Now does it please the Most High to cleanse the tabernacle of men. Greater darkness shall I send upon Bethel and all shall see that their candle has been removed for all who reside there will grope in the blindness of their own creation and their congregations will be dismayed at what hath befallen them. For I, the “I AM” of old, have not, nor will I ever be bound to the buildings they have built.

Yea, and I will raise up a people after Mine own heart and shall fill them with My Light in the inward parts to confound the darkness of Bethel. For those they sent away and belittled shall I enlarge. I will nourish them and they shall grow strong in ME. My Holy Spirit shall guide them and no man will be their head. I shall baptize them with power and My authority shall rest upon them as they come forth. My glory shall be in those I have chosen and they need not that men establish them. I shall deny them nothing for they are the humble and meek vessels, I, Myself have chosen to inherit the earth. Righteousness and purity will be ushered forth in their testimony and all shall know that I have done this thing. For they shall manifest all things and truth shall abound. Wonders among them shall be commonplace and I, alone will receive all the glory. Freely will I give unto them and freely they shall share all that they have been given, and great shall the glory of that day be.

Yea, My New Pentecost shall burn Bethel and grind her to powder as My Holy Spirit puts the axe to the root and the tree of Christendom suddenly falls silent.

In those days will the sons of Israel and of Judah go weeping as they go and it will be the Lord God they will seek. They will ask the way to Zion; they will come that they may join themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.  Yea, from the congregations they will depart, each to find their own way, that they might return again to the resting place of the Lord.

INWARD IDOLATRIES

My Children, there is a way that seemeth right unto the thinking of man, but it is an abomination unto God. Man is ever seeking to justify his actions, even if only to himself. He loves to applaud himself and tell himself how good he has become since his conversion. He measures himself by himself and such vision is short-sighted. For he knows the sinner who received that conversion and he sees all that he has “done for God” since that time and all the vices he has overcome. Then he begins to acknowledge “what he has done” and pride has him in it’s grasp.

Pride is one of those inward idolatries that is worse than the outward sins; outrageous though they might have been, that he cast aside. Pride is a cruel taskmaster that will ever keep the child of God bound to the blindness of self. For he acknowledges how far or how much he has done, never giving credit to He who saved him.

Pride’s constant companion is complacency. Complacency seeks not to go any further than pride says is necessary to continue being what pride calls “good”. He has no desire for completeness and loves only himself and the inward idolatrous image that he sees himself as.

For to measure one’s self by yourself, or even by others of like mind, will avail the believer of nothing and will lead only to hypocrisy and a deceived, darkened heart; never willing to submit to what God would give unto thee. Such as these hate the light for it exposes unto them things that they would rather not see; for pride tells them, “it is alright and purity is unattainable; besides it takes too much sacrifice and nobody else in our congregation is seeking for it”. Our pastor once told us that “only the fanatical and unbalanced mystics ever went that road”, so pride reasons, “I must be good enough”.

To those who are called redemption is not a hobby; it must become their vocation. Only the serious will overcome and God’s exposure of their flaws ever keeps them humble before Him. They cannot become satisfied, for they know there is more to be obtained. Yea, there is always something obtainable within their salvation. They are ever seeking to remain in God’s presence and are desirous of the Holy Spirit’s working within them and are grateful for every small victory. They look within themselves, for they know it is their responsibility to be obedient -- FULLY OBEDIENT -- not compromised versions, to what God has asked of them and to do it as quickly as possible. That is why they find favor with God.

They are ever faithful to what God has given them and the walk in the truth He has given unto them. They accept His guidance unto them and do not hold it as a standard for all others, for they understand that God raises each according to HIS time and not according to the dictates of prideful men.

Many have been called by God, but few will be chosen at the hour of His visitation. Those who are playing games in the religious arena will be cast aside and rejected by Jesus at His return. Only those who know Him intimately will be spared into the chosen remnant. Those who know “of Him” will not have prepared their garments and will appear naked to their surprise. So shall it be in the great swelling congregations for they shall be confounded and dismayed that they were not chosen and that all their sanctioned works were burnt like wood, hay and stubble.

To find salvation one must come to the Author of that promise; to find acceptance the Mediator of that covenant must present thy petitions, and only the Finisher of that gift can bestow upon thee completion and full redemption. All others -- pastors or methods -- will fail thee and ye will be left out.

COME TO ME, THE LIGHT

Where there is only darkness there can be no life. In the hidden there cometh forth only withering decay and decline until all life is extinguished. For in darkness cometh only despair and delusion to torment the soul with the fruits of self’s unrighteousness, choking thy plants like a weed and depriving thee of all that would sustain thee. Darkness offers unto thee no warmth of love, for it is ever cold and indifferent, and will leave thee feeling unwanted, unfulfilled and rejected as ye see the imperfections of thy nature overcoming all the good that ye might attempt to manifest. Yea, darkness is ever a lonely existence without hope of ever regaining the life you know you once possessed.

Until the Light brought by hope comes forth ye will not find that life rekindled. But once a small hole is opened and that light again is given unto you, you can overcome. As hope’s fertilizer enriches your soil, light’s effects are enhanced and again you can grow beyond the shadow that darkness has cast upon thy path. For the Light sets free the captive as love and acceptance is given unto the believer; and they again return unto the True Source of Life. Those who have been bounded by darkness and it’s sins come to revere and to rejoice in the Light more than those who have always been in the Light, for they know the importance of their deliverance from it’s stifling grip and could see that without light shining upon them they would have perished. Those who have never been snared by darkness tend to become complacent and self-righteous, for they cannot see themselves as being so weak as to have been ensnared by darkness’ enticements.

Oh, thou proud and lofty! Repent of thy arrogance and receive the fruits of Light from wherever or whomever I should choose; and cast not thy hypocritical thought or tongue upon those I rescued at a late hour. For they are Mine and I am perfecting them as I am ye first-hour workers. Rejoice in the deliverance of those little ones and they shall lend strength and refreshment unto thy years of service. Yea, ye self-righteous can learn much from those whom I have delivered and great will be the growth unto the whole body. Receive from them and ye shall receive ME for I am within them. Cast them aside and ye cast ME aside and open the door to darkness consuming thee. For thy oil will run out and thy Light will grow dim at the time when ye need it most.

For I, Jesus, am the Oil and I am the Light to guide all in Truth. None of thee are perfected yet, so remain ever humbled before Me. Be not as the Pharisee who is ever looking to expose the failings of others before the whole congregation. Climbing to the heights to scream it from the rooftops, for it availeth no good result. Only imperfection is bothered by the imperfect and it shows that ye are not centered upon Me; it is prideful arrogance to think that ye have arrived; have achieved the totality of thy salvation. For all fall short and continue to stumble in their walk before Me. I deal not with My Children harshly as do the Pharisees, for I find them where they are and lift them up to where I would have them to ascend. It is MY work and I alone can do it effectively and completely.

Rest in Me, that I will continue to lift you up from your miry clay and be not concerned with other’s development in Me and ye shall have the scales removed from thine own eyes to see and behold only Me. Then will My Light flood thy darkness and ye can again begin to grow. Remember My Children, ye are never as good as you think yourself to be; nor are you as bad as you sometimes feel. For forgiveness can repair any mess in any life in which I am received and I can fully rescue thee and restore thee, no matter what your past. But you must come unto ME, THE LIGHT.

FIND THAT LOWEST POINT

Those who search for the darkness in others plant seeds of shadows within themselves. For to dwell upon the darkness within yourself or in others prevents you from seeing or receiving the inspiration of the beauty of My light. For all men have My Light within them.

When ye seek to see Me in all you will find Me in greater measure and you will become oil to ignite a dim spark into a candle burning brightly. Then can My Light flood their and your darkness with renewed hope. Joy will be thy reward as you come to enjoy My Light and to encourage it in others.

For My true Children of light will seek to remove the shadows cast upon them for they are seeking to become fully illumined. The children of the darkness will dispute My workings and will ever seek to destroy and smother all light they encounter, for they detest the exposure that My Light and My Fire bring upon their pride. Exposure leaves the soul humbled and pride will not allow them to be lowered from their selfish lofty status that they see in themselves.

Remember that only the elevated can fall, the higher you are the louder the crash. For those who seek to ever remain at the lowest point can fall no further, for they ever remain humble and on their face before Me. Seek ye that lower place and allow Me to elevate you as I see fit. No one will attempt to take it from you, nor will they fight you for it, for they will graciously surrender it unto those who ask.

Those who have become the servant to all have found the path that I, Myself traveled. They will ever remember that place and will bear forth My good fruits when I crown them or call them to a higher place and they can be of much use in My service now and evermore. They have learned to wait upon Me and to fully trust in My judgements, for they are likened and fashioned to be attuned to My Holy Spirit.

The lowest point is an elevation unto your soul. For there ye will find peace. Once you have died to all self, which you will if you remain focused upon Me and make it thy personal residence, all earthly desires will fall from you. For once you’ve lost everything you hold dear; thoughts, dreams and selfish purposes, pride hath nothing to protect. Then you can see the joy of thy newly found freedom. It will always be easy to submit to My requests, for you will submit all you are to others so that My Kingdom can be established within you and through you. Yea, you will be fully pliable unto My Holy Spirit’s fashioning within thee without all the selfish hindrances of those above you.

Your heart will ever remain clean and renewed in confidence and trust, for thy faith will become strong. For you know that you can rely only upon Me. Thus can your completion become accelerated without any foot dragging; you resist Me not and are a joy to witness My glory coming forth within thy vessel and your candle will burn brightly evermore.

JACKRABBITS, TURTLES AND COMPETITION

Let bygones be bygones and you walk with Me. The past only binds you to hurts that I would heal for you were you to only stop pulling the scabs off. For surely Truth is a healing salve, a mollifying ointment. But when you keep dredging up the silt on the bottom, how can you expect the water to remain clear?

Stillness causes the murkiness to settle, giving you a clear view. Do not stir up the darkness of the past or nobody can see anything. Neither is the water drinkable or useable. Let My Love still in thee the past thoughts of hurt and know that flesh will make more mistakes no matter what it tries to do to reform. Be patient, therefore, with others. Be not discouragement unto them who are trying, as if to be ever “grading their performance”.  If you want to see perfection, LOOK AT ME, but do not expect it from mortals. Not husbands to wives or wives to their husbands. Not employers to employees nor employees to their employers. Not pastors to flocks nor flocks to their pastor. Invariably all make mistakes to disappoint thee who desired to idolize others in thy heart or to set them up into a place where ye give them no margin for error, and no way to escape thy judgmental eye of criticism.

O behold Me, Children, and see that I am meek and lowly! And though I be Judge of all I do not await the mistakes of others with a judgement gavel to hit them on the head with. Don’t you see that I do not measure you by My own self? I do not set standards and/or goals for you that ye cannot reach, but am Myself a patient Teacher, longing for the growth of each one of you to be evident that we may rejoice together. I do not condemn the slow nor do I idolize the swift for their swiftness. But I judge and categorize each according to their nature, whether fast or slow, and endeavor to encourage them in their walk with Me. Wherein ye judge the slow to be “slothful” and the swift to be “obedient”, even yet ye judge unrighteously. For to some the way is hard and they are methodical and careful to obey all signs and to go slow in their obedience. Whereas others are like a jackrabbit and pass over many good things that they could have seen along the way were they to slow down a bit. But usually fear drives them, so they bound along being merciless to self that they might earn My prize.

Whether fast and furious or slow and methodical I rejoice that they are moving on in Me. I rejoice that they follow Me. And ye are not to find fault. And ye are to be at rest concerning the progress of others, that all might have the freedom to grow at their own pace, a freedom which all of you appreciate [being] given unto you. But if you’ve a point to prove and are of a competitive nature, there will be this inward judging of others. Know that it comes of pride and must needs be offered up for cremation upon Mine Altar every time it appears. For the violation is a serious one to slow thy growth by self-righteous thinking.

The race is not to the swift nor to the strong, but for all to pursue that they may win ME -- the Prize. And I judge not whether you came in first or last but what was your attitude along the way to the other runners? Did you push and shove with the shoulder? Did you run in peace with the others, concentrating on your own ability to finish or did you sit back on the sidelines a self-appointed judge and critic of all other runners? Behold, all runners shall be judged as to “how” they ran by Me, and Me, ALONE. And all the self-appointed judges and critics are immediately disqualified and set out of the running. That doesn’t stop their mouth from running, so I warn My runners still in the race to pay no heed to the critics, for they have defiled their hearts with self-righteous judgements and have defiled their relationship with Me to the point that I have removed them from the track; disqualified. Let not their chatter deter thee, My faithful runners, but see that I have removed them and that you or your progress is not under their dominion nor can they influence your speed or motion UNLESS YOU HEED THEIR WORDS! Set thine eye and ear upon Me and My Voice only. Listen not to their criticisms or judgements of you. For I say your progress shall soon leave them far behind and speechless. Behold, be not judges or critics of one another. But be loving and accepting of thy brother’s or sister’s differentness from you. For all of you can’t be jackrabbits, nor all of you turtles. Be happy to apply yourselves diligently to the pace which best suits your ability to learn. How knowest thou if I, Myself, slowed some that they may better learn a lesson? Or how knowest thou if I speeded someone else up to be an example and an encouragement to the others? For I see the turtles wishing they could be jackrabbits but cannot be. I say learn to be content with your pace of learning, but heed warning signs if you find growth has stopped. And seek to judge no one in competition. Not of hair or face or clothing or body size. Not in ANY fashion. For behold, all judges get thrown out of the race, sidelined for their criticalness. ATTITUDE is a very important grading point in My runners. This I do, and leave it not to thy imperfect judgement.

I desire patience from My runners toward one another, and that each might give the appreciation to the others that he wishes from them for himself. Thus will all learn to be brothers and sisters and not seek to be “competitors” anymore. And every one of you watch yourself, that darkness enter not in because of thy thoughts, intents or actions. For know wherein evil hath in thee a foothold, ye will automatically begin striking out at the Light that I am in others to the loss of their peaceful progress.

If I have separated you, take an awfully hard look at what you were thinking of others, and in what measure you were judging and comparing. See the unfruitful works of competition and how it sought to set you above them, coveting that which was not thine. And wherein ye made something of it, you pushed and shoved with the shoulder. And wherein you thought or spoke evil and judged them, you took out your sword-thoughts or words and stabbed your brother or sister. Thus My Law takes hold upon you and grabbed you out before more damage you could do.  Therefore think long and hard on these things and know the darkness which destroyed the peace and unity of My Meeting, which ye were removed from because of; and know that it is not by many words that ye shall convince Me to let thee return but by complete humbling and change of attitude, to deem thyself lesser than all others for persecuting My People. Thus seek reinstatement only through My judgement of seeing change wrought within; and seek not to blame others for thy separation as if they were to blame for thy continued separation. For thy attitude, thus being still the judge and bitter critic holds thee still separated from My group till thou repent “fully”, not “feignedly”. Saith the Lord and Master of My Meeting. Selah.

JEALOUSY

Jealousy is the rage of self-defeat. One who is drawn to such is enraged with flesh’s envy (covetousness) but unwilling to come unto Me fully that I might bestow upon them that which they want from another. “I AM” is not finite. I have not a limited number of talents or gifts to bestow, only a lack of sons and daughters upon whom to reward them.

To all who will come in humility and wholeness of heart I will bestow more than they could imagine, but I cannot fill them as long as flesh rules within them. Jealousy is a manifestation of flesh’s presumptions and assumptions; they are the product of an imagination out of control, undisciplined and unfocused on Me. For it sees only flesh and relives flesh’s visions of grandeur. Flesh, by whatever it’s name, can yield only flesh.

To receive of My Spirit and be worthy of My spiritual gifts ye must be consecrated unto Me in the spirit. Not part-time self, part-time spirit; for none of that mind set will ever be worthy of My greater habitation within thy vessel. Ye must be Mine all the time in all your thoughts, in all your actions and I must become the only thing your heart desires. My peace will only be found when ye cease from your self-seeking. For all the knowledge of thy own investigations is polluted and perverted. And you have no confidence or trust that My Holy Spirit can guide thee to pure understanding. For you are always raising doubts within yourself by all thy constant questioning and cannot be given the greater faith necessary unto completion; without which you will ever be wavering and without strength to sustain growth.

In the moment that nothing else matters to you except My will obediently completed in and through you, you will find all of flesh’s hindrances will be cast aside. If you continue to remain in My Presence and be instructed by My Spirit, they will not return to divide thy attention away from what I would say or do. Those who are completely Mine are always content because they want only what I, Jesus, want for them.

Cast flesh aside that My Holy Spirit might fruitfully live within thy heart, or cast My Spirit aside so that you can have your own way. The choice is thine and I will reward thee with thy heart’s desire.

SERVING ME OR SELF?

Thus hath the Lord commanded; thus hath the Lord said, that “ye shall love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and Him only shalt thou serve”. What does that mean? And what doth it mean to serve one’s own self?

Serving self is doing what self wants to do; saying what self wants to say, and thinking what self wants to think. You say, “why is this wrong? And doesn’t self have a say in the matter?” I say that thou art to control thy thoughts, bringing every thought into submission unto thy God; even those thoughts which seek to exalt themselves against that which ye know I have told you; have taught you, have instilled in you. To go against the greater knowledge is to commit sin and to serve self, which is the rebellious part of thee and enmity against Me, wherein ye know to do right and do it not, to thee it is sin. Thus judge within yourselves, My Children, wherein ye serve self, pamper self, and allow self to live large in thee, having it’s own way.

For in so doing ye shall see clearly the measure in which ye still walk in self, talk in self, think and act in self, to the shutting of all mouths before thy God, who asks you to follow Him in complete obedience to His directives; and to let self, that wants to walk afar off in disobedience, be put to death in thee; bringing forth freedom from it’s oppression. And My newness of Life.

Yes, you are free to serve self, but you will never know the greater peace; the greater freedom, nor the greater blessings I have to bestow. And there will ever be compromise in thy walk before Me until thou hast learned DISCIPLINE of all thy thoughts, talks and walks. Thus thy inward rebellion is to thee a great enough enemy to drive thee ever to My Feet and My Presence to protect you from it’s temptation to walk away and do your own thing. And this I speak to all.

Wherein ye are led of My Holy Spirit guidance there is freedom. Be not drawn away unto thine own lusts, which are not fruitless, for they indeed bear fruit unto more lustfulness, more pride and more hedging in thy obedience. I call thee, Sons and Daughters, to watch thy thoughts carefully and to submit them to My judgement and My commands, for thy thoughts are not found perfect before Me this day.

Unfocused thou art so much of the time, on Me; but upon the sayings, deeds and actions of others, to judge them within thy own mind. Why don’t you just hold them up to Me in prayer, judging no one? For behold all can find fault in others if they are looking for it.

I say peace is found in being ever focused on Me. So defile not yourself with judging thoughts about others concerning other’s walks and talks. Thou art no judge, but responsible only for thyself before Me. And if I see thee defiling thyself with judgements, inwardly or outwardly so, concerning others, no matter your time spent with Me, still ye be defiled in your own heart.

Thus let us see discipline in this thing and cease the self serving attitude which judges others as less than thee, which arouses pride and competition; and let thy thoughts focus on serving thy Creator and ministering unto Him in love and self-less-ness, which is as great incense poured into the censer burning before My Ark.

Behold, the instruction of the Most High is given unto them who are eager for it, waiting daily before My Feet in anticipation of hearing what I have to say. Yet when I give things which ye do not readily accept and incorporate into thy walk, ye fall behind because of doubting and questioning. And what doth this doubting and questioning come from? Self’s justification and hedging. Thus proving your desire or lack thereof, for COMPLETE OBEDIENCE unto the self-annihilation I require to walk in purity before Me. Wherein ye think I don’t understand, look at what all you seek to hold onto. I call you to be without hands that are grasping, or with wills that accept and reject My words by thy choosing. Else your temple walls shall never be built. For I build in thee completeness of solid founding. But wherein ye reject here and there, this and that, there are holes and gaps in your walls, and surely no foundation can be made in thee.

Being the “master” and “lord” over your own temple, I will cease to lay anything in you who pick and choose and limit what I can do in thee. Thus out of My race you must be until you give up self’s desire to be “lord” and until you give in to My fashioning, your growth must cease and you shall find “hard knocks” to break up your hardened clods of opinions, ideas and self judgement in your knowledge.

Be as the little child, who does not question what he is being taught nor does he fight it by saying he has a “better way”, or additional insight. For it is to be given thee as it is needed. And ye will have confirmed in you what saith My Scriptures, if ye know them. But don’t be turning or rearranging the placement of bricks to suit self, or be adding back out of the old that you were; but receive with meekness Mine engrafted words that ye may be complete and entire. And let that which fights in you be put to death completely, that you may cease to see the old creature who was “mule-ish” and come to see the new creature, created in Christ Jesus, which operates in the mind of Christ Jesus, and speaks not but by the impetus of Holy Spirit. For there is way too much gossiping and comparing and measuring others by thyself at this time.

IT IS FOR ALL TO LOOK WITHIN AND HARSHLY JUDGE ONLY “SELF”. And thus doth the arrogant attitude of the Pharisee become the humble demeanor of the Publican in thee. Thus doth the mountain of sin in thee come to be laid low and the valley of fear and insecurity come to be leveled. Thus doth the crooked paths become straightened to make the way prepared unto My Coming in thee. For behold if Mine Ark is to have His place in thy Holy of Holies, it cannot in any way be defiled with self’s judgings, opinions or ideals. Nor self’s critical judgings of others for whom also I died.

You all want to see the glory coming forth and the Light of the Son of Righteousness arising in thee with healing in His wings. I say then, trust Me and leave the building to Me. Apply no “D.N.A” (Does Not Apply) to thy learning, else you will end up applying My words to all others besides yourself, in the which ye reject My teaching unto thyself and hide in thine own flesh’s wisdom, thinking thyself above these things. Yes, My words are a fire and as a hammer, to break rocks of pride and arrogance into pieces. From thence I can arrange thee as “LIVING STONES” in the temple I call My Church. But if ye are brittle and will not submit to My fashioning, ye will receive none of My words but will react in self’s arrogant anger and reject all My words coming forth.

But the decision is to be made by each concerning their own self; for each has a kingdom within which he or she is “lord” over, which ye must decide to either keep to yourself or yield to Me. But you can’t do both, as many now are trying to do, leaving My building process frustrated and stopped. Consider these things, My Children, and submit “self” unto My annihilation process if ye will walk with Me and possess Mine heavenly Kingdom of Peace. Peace from what? Self’s strivings, self’s judgings, and opposition to My will. Thus completion of obedience and fullness of desire brings forth fullness of peace in thee. The enemy within -- the son of perdition within -- the “beast” or nature of the “beast” within keeps you from serving Me and worshiping with your whole heart because many of you are double minded, desiring to serve and worship both, making you unstable as water and receiving nothing good from Me. Saith the Lord, the Eternal.

LIVING IDOLS

My Children, can you not see; do you not understand that intellectual knowledge which lacks true spiritual experience cannot be, nor will it ever become truly knowing or pleasing thy God? There is no growth, no life, no hope in man’s “head knowledge”. For My people have been deceived by those who preach My words only for their historical significance; they seek not to be bestowed with My power and ever miss the mark, and will never win the full prize of redemption. They will only lead you to know “of Me”, for they are based upon dry words laced with scripture, to make the untrained ear, the one not led by My Holy Spirit, believe them to have the authority of God. Did I not say when I was here upon the earth, to the Pharisees, “Ye search the scriptures to find life, but ye find none there. For the scriptures testify of Me, but they are not Me.” That was true then and even more so today.  For to know “of” Me is not to “know Me” and will never lead one to be found of Me when I return. It is goat’s milk to be fed to the goats. My true sheep hear My Voice -- My Holy Spirit -- and none other will they follow, nor will they be satisfied with the goat’s milk of Phariseeism. They will flee from it’s long shadow unto the pastures of My good feeding.

My Children, if you seek you will find a deeper instinct within your spirit that lives only for thy God’s glory. It will never fall victim to the deceptions of the congregations where people gather to give glory unto men. No matter how worthy or eloquent the speaker; no man, no ministry can witness life unto you while they stand upon the podiums that pride hath built. For pride only sows pride and passion amongst the hearers and causes the following to ever seek after the man. Yea, they become idolaters bewitched by “living idols” shackled in chains unto the service of the son of perdition, sitting upon the thrones of their hearts and clouding their minds with worthless philosophy which will never allow them to find the freedom My Grace would give unto them. As long as they chase after the crowd, the speaker or the ministry, the more they deeply entrench the “abomination of desolation” within their temple, yea that tabernacle of men’s knowledge, and their walk before Me will ever be clouded by shadows and veiled in darkness.

For I, Jesus, will overthrow all the thrones occupied by the son of perdition at the hour of My visitation. I will burn all those who sought after his guidance and will grind their abomination of desolation unto powder and cast it to the ends of the earth by My Holy Spirit. For the house flesh hath built will not stand nor will I entertain their justifications at that hour. For they have consulted with bad counselors and will bear the wrath of that alliance. Thy leaders have cast My Holy Spirit far from thee and by staying in that place ye are guilty of complicity of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; though your “living idols” tell you not; for pride hath ensnared them by the applause, the hireling’s wages and the blindness that has come upon them by their notoriety and love of honor before men. They seek only unto themselves and unto those of like mind and seek not unto Me for guidance. For they are hardened by arrogance and will not return unto Me in humility, for their ever enlarged pride would not allow it to be so. Their lusts control them and guide them ever further from Me, so they consult amongst themselves and are ever buried in the self-deception fed by those of like heart. They have no power nor do they see it’s need, for they only seek after the glory of men and the applause of the congregation. Their ways and words are fully compromised so that their riches might ever be increased, and their lifestyles are not according to what I, Jesus, taught or walked; so can you not see that they could never be Mine? The disciple, the “student” is ever taught to become as the teacher and Master, and to live and to do as He does. I sought not a stage, a platform, or a television camera to elevate Myself, nor did I religiously frequent the synagogue. Nay, I ministered individually or unto the masses that came to Me. I sought them not out or advertized that I would be here or there. Nor did I take their monies for “services rendered”. I taught them to seek the “inward harmony” with My Father and was an example of submission unto His will being manifested through Me. For the death of self produces a greater reward than any earthly delight. Yea, more than the applause of the congregation, the wages of the hireling or all honors man could have conferred upon Me.

“Inward Harmony” cometh only by thy spirit becoming in unity with My Holy Spirit within thee, and it alone will give unto thee purity of purpose before the Throne of the Almighty. Ye will learn to serve our Father in the place He has put you in peace. Instead of being eaten up by pride and passion fed by men’s tabernacle of knowledge, you will dwell in freedom, courage and hope being completed by My Holy Spirit in thy Tabernacle of Wisdom in thy New Jerusalem. There is where ye will find My Ark, My power, My authority and life bursting forth freely to all who will come unto Me and be taught by Me alone. For you have no need that any man should teach thee. Seek ye the eternal purpose of thy God and get in line with it alone. For this is the greatest calling that can be conferred upon men. Then ye can be worthy disciples, worthy “students”, perfectly patterned after thy Master and Teacher.

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT

My Children, I, Jesus, am the Way, the Truth and the Light; and no man comes before the Father except by Me. I am the Only Way, the only Example that will lead you to that strait and narrow road, My Highway to Holiness. My highway will only be traveled by those truly seeking My Promise of redemption and being led by Me, yea, My Holy Spirit. No man can walk in My way unless he find Me and walk as I walked. For it was a lonely road of complete submission unto My Father’s will. Though I was the Heir unto the Throne, I was also a servant unto My sitting King and realized that all pure authority was His. Like David, who though anointed would not overthrow Saul but waited until the time appointed by My Father to ascend to the throne, I also had to grow in grace and understanding until His wisdom flourished within Me. I learned complete dependence upon My Father, though at times it might not have been evident as to the outcome of My obedience to what He asked of Me. This was necessary so that I might acquire the capacity to contain His faith. For as I relied upon only Him for My guidance, I came to see the depths of His love being revealed unto and through Me, even unto physical death. He opened unto Me doors that no man could open and allowed Me to shut doors that no man could close. My resurrection overcame death evermore, thus opening the door to the reunion of fallen creation unto it’s Creator. My way was fully charted by My Father and He led Me unto paths of righteousness worthy of complete forgiveness for all. As I traveled, so must ye who seek to become manifested Sons and Daughters of the Most High God. For I was the first Son of the Living God to obtain that level of maturity and the Pattern for others promised to come. “As I am, so shall ye be” should now be clearer to all who seek it’s understanding. For I, through My Holy Spirit, will show you My way that ye too might overcome and reach the same level of maturity before thy Creator.

I am the Truth. My words tell you all you need to begin to understand the mystery that I am. Though I was dead, I am alive evermore. My Holy Spirit bears witness of this truth and resurrects Me over and over into the hearts of all who seek it to be done unto them. As I am birthed within a believer, regeneration begins and ye begin to cast off the rumors and the lies of men’s deceptions about who I was and what I supposedly said. The scriptures as men know them can never be complete. For as John told you, “if all that I did while on the earth were to be written, the whole world could never contain it.” If ye believe Me and seek to know My complete truth, you will not be bounded by men’s recollections contained in the scriptures. My truth is ever now and current and as I am, alive evermore. So is the Spirit by which those scriptures were written in the Bible. He still speaks to and through My anointed servants and is continuing to enlighten all to the truth that I am and will evermore be.

I am the Light. Yea, I am radiated in the glow of every believer who overcomes and grows as My Holy Spirit leads them towards illumination. For My true Children who will be manifested in maturity before My Father will shine bright as the morning star; for it is My candle promised to all who overcome. Where My Sons and Daughters sow My seeds of truth, fresh light and understanding is created. For when those seeds are planted in the good soil, the potential for that brightness is within the believer to achieve full illumination. For as they overcome their darkness and the shadows cast upon them by the enemy, they become brighter and brighter as each victory lifts them to a higher level of trust and faith. As faith takes hold of their weakness, My strength overcomes for them and they are encouraged to seek for My greater Light. As they come to lean upon My Holy Spirit, understanding and wisdom within them is fortified and sustained by My mercy and grace and they begin their ascension to the true source of all light and it merges with their obedience, ever brightening their soul until they and the Light that I am become one.

No man can see the Father, except they come to intimately know Me and My Holy Spirit. For only I can show you, can teach you of My Father. Regeneration is the avenue by which He becomes manifested within you. He changed Me unto glory and through Me He has promised to do it for all who desire it to happen to them. Yes, there will be Sons and Daughters manifested unto glory, even though men reveal it not unto their congregations. They shall see the Father, shall know the Father, and like Me, thy Redeemer, shall be empowered, endowed and illuminated by the Almighty to endure from everlasting to everlasting.

Come unto Me that I may come unto you and feed your soul with all that I am. For My way, My truth and My light will reveal unto you life everlasting. Selah!

WHAT A PRIVILEGE!

Be renewed; refreshed in My Eternal Presence, ye who I have called to come unto Me. What a privilege to be near Me! What a privilege thine acknowledgment of Me!

Behold, open wide that I might fill thee. Trust and I will lift thee by the true faith thou hast in Me unto new heights and new levels of glory in Me. Saith He who loves to lift thee  higher!

SHARE MY BURDEN

Beloveds, a good many of My Children seek for Me and for life in the tombs of the dead and the religious works of Christianity. Though I curse the system to which they belong, I do not curse them who are sincere; who are loving; who are trying, the only way they know how in order to find Me. They know not “how” or “where” else to look. And I would not that they feel condemned by Me for their ignorance. Neither should thou be lifted up against them for their blindness. For if I opened your eyes ahead of theirs, does that make you different? There but by My Grace would ye have been also.

My heart goes out unto My hungry sheep who bleat in misery at the lack of soul nourishment which they seek. They are sick of the same old songs and same old sermons. I would that thy heart would be burdened for them as Mine ever is. For many sheep have I to bring yet out of the “hallowed halls” of Christendom. Many indeed seek Me in truth, and love Me and try to do right. I must awaken them to the fact that I AM REAL AND I AM TRUTH AND THAT I AM THE WAY THEY SHOULD HEAD, TO MY FEET.

Behold, the work lays before you thick in the ground. And I know that you each have lives and things to pursue. But shortly I must send you forth in the power of MY strength to gather these ungathered ones and to bring them to Me so I can finally feed them. They are in the midst of great darkness and spiritual famine. Long for their turning; the veil of darkness being pulled away from their eyes, that they may SEE their Teacher and Lord and might from thenceforth serve Him and not men. For there has not been and is not now deliverance in the sermons of men nor in any of their churches or man-made so-called “revivals”, but those are simply terms used loosely to indicate change; something different.

Behold, share this My burden with Me for the lost. Be not arrogant against them in thy heart. Be willing to be used by Me in My time to go in and gather My lost, in the power of My strength and in My wisdom. Fear not the persecution ye shall encounter, but go as I send you. So shall many of My Little Ones be jarred awake, saith the Lord and will come to Me.

BEGIN MY NEW ADVENTURE

Seek unto Me with thy whole heart; the new heart that I have given unto thee; learn the depths and ye shall find the treasures I have hidden there for thee. For within thee are the keys to open new avenues of faith and to close those which held you in unbelief, constantly questioning and filling thy old heart with doubts. Seek unto My Presence and My New way will surround you with My peace that passeth all understanding. For there ye will find the calm your soul has ever sought and the freedom that your mind needs to flourish and to grow in the grace that I have given unto thee.

Come before Me with praise and thanksgiving and allow My Holy Spirit to energize thee with My strength and ye shall be renewed. My love will lift you into greater heights and will fill thee with the boldness of unwavering faith. For I, thy Redeemer, promise unto thee that I am faithful unto thy full completion. Step by step I shall ever hold thee up and ye shall not dash thy feet upon the stones that men throw in thy path. For to those who seek, I will deliver thee and ye shall find that which ever seemed to elude thee in thy times of wandering. It shall be that the door has opened before thee. By faith enter ye in and thy understanding shall be quickened to all that before you could never have known. Dash across the threshold from the strange land where ye once resided into new lands I have prepared for My chosen; then we shall close the door and ye shall find the truth of thy new freedom. Thy desire shall be revived and taken to new heights. For the newness of My place shall awaken thy soul with delight and wonder as you come to see it’s vastness unfold before you.

Begin anew on My new adventure for ye shall not be disappointed in that which I have prepared for thee. Seek your new heart and find the keys and ye shall begin to open doors of understanding and wisdom that I would give unto thee. Ask and I will show thee those doors which must securely be locked and ye shall truly overcome.

I AM THE GREAT “I AM”

I am the great “I AM”. All must come to worship ME in Spirit and in Truth. All must bow before Me in humbleness and submission. All must come before Me with a broken and contrite spirit. All must come before Me empty and barren and ready to receive anything that “I AM” be ready to give. Receive therefore this day My Light and My Reason. My testimony to the lost and My Grace to repair the tears of thy heart.

Woe unto those who seek deep to hide the counsel of the Lord! Be at Peace. Listen to Me. Listen to My Voice. Hear Me. Put your trust in NO MAN, but only in your Master Rabboni, Jesus.

MY DESERTED ISLANDS

What is a man without God but a deserted island. Lifeless and sterile. Empty of God’s goodness. But as a man opens himself to God, how great a change! What was lifeless is now teaming with new life and what was sterile now supports new growth! The world awaits for such islands as these. Be ye therefore diligent and walk and wait upon Me as I turn thy sterile ground into a harvest of plenty for the nations! Selah.

BEFORE YOU ARE READY, I COME

I am the “I AM”. Walk thou before Me and be thou perfect in thy faith, doubting nothing. And ye shall have My mighty faith added to you whereby ye may walk on the water as I did, or move mountains, heal the sick, raise the dead. “I AM” shall be in you the power to do all these things and nothing shall withstand you. Saith the Lord Jesus Christ, the FIRST to overcome, who is set down at the right hand of the Throne of Majesty in the heavens.

Behold your Pattern and increase thy faith by absorbing My Life within you. Much work have we to do thus prepare your hearts in Me and in the secret place be endowed with My mighty power. For the Light that I am ye shall become and greater works ye shall do because of Me.

Let the dead bury the dead and you come and follow Me. Too much concern is given unto the deeds and ways of the worldly that are around you. Where ye see need, judge not but help as it is in thy power to do. And look unto Me to resolve the problems they have.

Behold, the world goeth as it will, and they that love it. Carry not it’s burdens for they will drown you in depression and doubt. Looking around you, you see the heat of My “pressure-cooking” increasing as all try to seek ways to unload stress. The pressure is getting to be too much. Know My Love is to bring them off from themselves and their own ways, and bring them unto Myself, calling and crying for help. Tell them where their true help lies. Hide it not but be truthful, for they will one day see you were right.

Behold, send My people, who I am tribulating to Me, that they might come to repentance. But do no more than I show thee. The time draws near. Ye must needs prepare yourself in Me. Before ye think yourself “ready”, I come. Saith the Lord.

RAISE YOUR TRUMPETS

My Children, come before Me; acknowledge Me; lift thy trumpets high and sound for the testimony of My glory and your heart shall be lightened. I would have ye to do this that all might know the appreciation within thy soul. For all have seen victory; display it no matter how small it might have seemed and I shall enlarge thee and anoint thee to overcome whatever blockages have caused thy trumpet to be silenced.

Praise Me for what I have done and I shall reward you with greater faith and guide you to greater victory. For I would that all trumpets should sound forth; thy harmony needs to blend and to edify the others, and joyous shall thy combined song sound; yea, a sweet savor unto My Glory. Sound forth and be freed that I might raise you ever higher, more glory to behold.

Raise your trumpet that your vessel might testify of Me and My Spirit will come upon thee and I shall receive it. Be not fearful or ashamed, for I say to overcome ye must sound forth and thy fears and the blockages will be burst by My Spirit coming forth and I will give gladness unto thy soul.

I call you not to preach but I do expect all to testify for it is a stream of edification unto the deliverance of all. “The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.” Revelation 19:10

YOU ARE MY CANDLESTICKS

My Children, ye are My candlesticks; the fashioning of My own design. My Truth is the oil to keep thee burning brightly. My Holy Spirit is the flame that ignites thee. When all three are in unity of purpose there is no darkness that can overcome or threaten thee.

As long as ye are sustained in humility and prostration of spirit, and remain in the aloneness of My Holy Presence ye shall never be lacking of oil or flame. Only when you are delinquent to the above mentioned responsibility are you lacking in oil or flame. To remain lit evermore you must come forth and meet Me where I am. For there in thy heart is all that is necessary to keep you burning brightly. Keep thy focus inward and the outward winds will never blow your candle out and cause you to despair.

All of the outward is ever seeking to draw you away from that which I have provided for you. For your inward witness shining brightly threatens and disturbs the darkness where they reside. Either My Light within you or their howling dark storm will prevail; the answer lies in you, for only you can determine how you handle that responsibility. Together in singleness of purpose you will never see defeat but by yourself you can never overcome them. I am thy refuge. Lean only upon Me and thy peace shall never be broken and truly thy candle shall never go out.

NO COMPARING MY LOVE

My Peace I extend to those of you who are hurting. You who are sorrowful because of torment from those you love, and who “love” you. Behold My Love shall supersede every love you know or have now or could find among humans. There is no comparing.

Ye who seek the love of mortals, know that thy love for Me must be first else other love shall ever fail to render happiness to thee. And other loves shall not be universal or unconditional. You set yourself up for much pain and dissatisfaction by taking on such love. You’ll find no common ground spiritually. You’ll find their love and vision shallow and unfulfilling. Behold, look unto Me, My Children, and be lightened. Let Me be your love and your joy. Such of you who have found love and common ground are blessed. Know this: the fact that many are alone is that they have spouses who refuse to walk in the way of obedience, and as Lot’s wife, endanger their lives by their ever backward looking for the pleasures, thrills, things of this life. But in all these things, thou, who are obedient, lift them up that they may have that flesh destroyed and return unto Me crying for My help, and understand thy own preparation unto completion is most needful; and though you would hurry them along as you see the time approaching, let them be and push not. Just gently remind them where their help lies. My work through thee will convince them in due season. Don’t try to drag them with you. They cannot come. Saith the Lord, who chooseth thee to come first.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
