Choose To Return To His Way

My table is full of divine delicacies. Come and partake. Open wide the gate, so all may come in. There is plenty of room for all at the Savior’s feet. He is beckoning all to come home. “Come home, come home, ye who are weary, come home. Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling. Calling for you and for me.” I long for you to come home. I long to walk beside you and not watch you go alone. The way is not so treacherous, if you will follow the light. My lamp will light the way, if you will submit to My way. Come learn of Me before you go forth to fight the battles of life. I will be your Counselor. I will reveal the plan for success. I will show you how to win over the enemy. There are tactics you must follow. There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death. Too many of My children have gone their own way to premature death. There are many choices that will lure you and cause you to go after the wrong rewards. You must discern what is a lie and what is the truth. Without the WORD of God in you, you have no standard to base the truth upon. The things of God always agree with each other. The Logos and Rhema words always agree. The enemy makes promises he cannot keep. My promises are all “yes” and “amen,” but you must know them. It is time to go back to school – where you learn the WORD of God. It is the standard by which the whole world rotates. It is tried and tested and has always been true. There is no new way that works. The old way has existed for over 2000 years and has been available for those who desired the truth. I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father, except by Me. The “new way” is not My Way. There are traps that the devil has placed for those who are looking for something different, something more exciting. It looks good to start with, but in the end there is a high price to pay. My WORD has stood through all ages and will continue to stand. Place your trust in Me and My WORD. I will carry you through the valley. Fret not, for your heavenly Father has a plan for your life – a plan for satisfaction and success. You were created for a time such as this. You were created to complete a great work in this world, so come back to your Creator for the plan. My sheep can hear My voice!

Pursue Peace, Not Things

My people have aggressively pursued other things. My WORD says to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and these things shall be added unto you (Matt. 6:33). After the pursuit of things, there seems to be a lack of satisfaction. The things are not bringing the peace that passes all understanding. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace ……….. (Phil. 4:6-7).

Not only are the first and last missing, but also the middle ingredient. Prayer is first, peace is last, but thanksgiving is in the middle of the sandwich. Could it be that none of the above have been on your menus? You have known that prayer is the catalyst for everything that happens. But who was willing to give the time necessary to call those things that be not as though they are (Rom. 4:17)? Who is willing to deny himself (and his plans) and take up his cross and follow Me (Matt. 16:24)? What good will it be for a man, if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul (Matt. 16:26)? It is time to lay down all your excuses and reasons why you cannot come before the throne boldly. After all, that is where you go to receive mercy and grace in your time of need (Heb. 4:16). When is your time of need? Every day, every hour, every minute you need mercy and grace!

Slow Down, Shut Down, Sit Down

My children, I love you. My love knows no bounds. Break down the walls that you have built between Me and You. Read the WORD. Believe the WORD. It tells of My great love for you, but you must believe it. You must quit excluding yourself from the quotient. I have loved you with an everlasting love (Jere. 31:3). That love lasts forever! Do not believe the enemy any longer. He loves to drive wedges between Me and My children with his lies. His voice often is louder than My voice. You must change the channel and listen to My program. Any time you are hearing constant negative vibes, you are on the wrong channel. Remember that the devil has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) – all negative actions. He comes to Disappoint, Discourage, Depress, make you Downtrodden, and bring DEATH. He not only is a liar, but the father of all lies (John 8:44). He has many years of experience and is really good at convincing people that his plan is the way to go. He masquerades as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). The still small voice (1 Kings 19:12) is the one that tells you to lie down in the green pastures by the still waters (Ps. 23:2). He wants to restore your soul (your mind, your will, and your emotions). He said to come unto Him, and He will give you rest for your soul for He is gentle and humble in heart. His yoke is easy and his burden light (Matt. 11:30). Take His yoke and learn of Him. You must eat of the WORD to gain nourishment and strength for the road is long, and many perish before they complete their destiny. Matthew 11:28 encourages you: Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. When does the enemy normally come to convince you of his plan? When you are tired and weary! You must learn when you are out of strength and run to the tower. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (Prov. 18:10). My children, you have been going your own way too long. You have not checked in to see if you are on the right road. Many of you are traveling down the fast lane that leads to destruction. You have bought the world’s way to live life. Run as fast as you can until you drop! Where are you headed? What is the plan for your life? Many of you do not have a vision from Me, and you are perishing. According to one of the Newsboys’ songs: we’ve been running without a direction. we are afraid to get there late.what we need is strength just to kneel down and wait.I AM is the gas station where you fill up your tank. But, you must stop long enough to be filled up! Like the race cars that circle the track, there comes a time when the driver must make a pit stop, or he will run out of fuel. Many of you are running on fumes when you could have your tanks full of high-octane gas. You could be full of the Holy Spirit and power. Some of you have not considered that you cannot successfully run your own lives. (When the “I” is in run, you ruin your lives). You think your plan is “The Plan” to follow. You, too, have been deceived by the enemy of your soul. The day will come when you come to the end of yourself, like the prodigal, and you will be looking for your Daddy. Abba Father continues to wait on the road back home. He is waiting for you to get tired of the “pig pen of life.” He is waiting to give you the robe, the ring, and the shoes. Your “welcome home” party has already been planned. God’s way is the easy way with the light burden. When you decide to trade in what you have accomplished and accumulated, then the Father will make the great exchange. What He has planned for you is a future and a hope (Jere. 29:11). His plans are for you to prosper and not be harmed. His plans are for a future and a HOPE. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:13). How many of you have lost your HOPE? The God of HOPE is still on the throne, but is He on the throne of your life? SELF has become the king in many lives. After all, the television has been teaching that concept for many years now. Turn off the violence, sex, and hopeless reports about this world and turn on to God’s channel with His report about who you are. He has plenty of forgiveness for all your sin, for all your wrongdoing, for all your rebellion against Him. Come boldly before the throne of grace to receive the grace and mercy (Heb. 4:16) that you need for your new life in Christ. Your Father has not given up on you. He knows everything – past, present, and future. You have not been hidden from Him, for He was not the one who took his inheritance and left. He continues to call you back to the safe place under the shelter of His wings (Ps. 91:4). There is a price to pay. The price is taking the time to know Him and know His ways. At that time you will find out what a precious creation you are and what you were made to do in this life. The enemy has brought confusion about your identity and God’s identity. It is time to read the truth, the Bible, and be delivered of all the lies you have bought from the devil. There is not a shortcut or a fast-food restaurant where you can go for the faster, easier method.

Slow down and smell the roses!

Shut down some of your activities that keep driving you away from God!

Sit down before the God of the universe and learn of Him.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want (Ps. 23:1) ………

I shall not want what He does not want for me.

I shall not want to stay too busy to spend time with Him.

I shall not want to please men instead of God.

I shall not want to be driven by my addictions.

I shall not want to believe the lies of the devil anymore

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me besides quiet waters (2), he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake (3).

Do what the Newsboys recommend in the song, “Be Still:

”be still and know He, know He is holy. be still and know He is God. love him more dearly. see him more clearly. be still and know that He is God.

IT IS TIME! TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION

(deliver, health, rescue, safety, salvation)

2 Corinthians 6:2.He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 8:47If this scripture applies to you, then, “CRY OUT to GOD.”

November 17, 2007 at 6:45 am

Cry Out

Cry out, cry out to the God of your fathers. Now is the time to call upon your God. Time is running out to willfully bow your knee and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Rom. 14:11). Do not wait and gamble with time. Today is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2). God’s desire is still that all would come to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. His desire is that none should perish (2 Pet. 3:9). God’s plan has stood and will stand throughout the ages. His requirements for entering his kingdom remain the same. Repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38). Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your household (Acts 16:31). Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Rom. 10:13). If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom. 10:9).

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32).

Don’t count on changing the rules to fit your desires, your plan, or your schedule. The WORD, the eternal plan, will last forever unchanged (Is. 40:8, I Pet. 1:25). You are dealing with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords of the universe. “I the Lord do not change (Mal. 3:6).

The State of the Church

What is a stray? Who is a stray? A stray is one who was attending a certain church but for any number of reasons went to find another. A stray cat is one who is usually hungry and looking for food. The cat may have lost its way back home. Its owner may have left town without it. The cat may have found better food somewhere other than home. A stray will stay, if he is fed and loved. Concerning the organized church and strays, most are looked upon as diseased or rabid. Look again, especially at independent, non-denominational, or charismatic churches. Where did the founders come from? Where did the congregation come from? Most generally the members came from a denominational church. The church in general today only has new members that come from other churches or move to town. The number of new converts is almost null and void. The church is sick and many have fallen asleep, or died. There is not enough excitement to keep people interested. Long-term members in many churches do not know how really dead and lifeless they are. Gathering together on Sundays is a ritual for many, a duty that is required to ease the conscience. Mama said to go to church. Or, the priest will be waiting for my confessions! Powerful preaching that motivates a pew-sitter to change positions and do something different is hard to find. The church at large has been lulled to sleep and members look like the world. The number of divorces is higher in the church than out. Depression and mental illness is rampant in the church. Physically sick people fill the pews Sunday after Sunday without any hope for healing in their bodies and minds. Where is the power? Where is the teaching that Hope is still alive today? Healing and deliverance will be major ministries in the end times, but who is going to tell the people it is available? Who is going to read the Word of God, the Bible, and find out what is so graciously offered to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory? (Phil. 4:19) Who really cares if anything changes, or is status quo sufficient? After all, it might take some effort for things to change. Comfort is withdrawn when things change. After all, busyness rules the family and even those who have the “empty nest.” Stay busy so you do not have to face the needs in your life that scream in the darkness. Impress people with all your committee meetings or sports events that you attend. Who is God that thou art mindful of Him? (Ps. 8:4) Who considered God’s opinion about what you needed to do today, or tomorrow, or the next day? Sunday is set aside to pay homage to the King. Hurry up and complete the number of years at work that are required to retire and do nothing. Or, do lots of busy work to impress others. Much of that work does have a good end and a worthy cause attached, but what is God’s plan for your life? Many have lived a number of years with absolutely no clue as to what God’s plan for their lives is. The WORD says that His plans are to prosper you and not to harm you. ldquo; plans for a future and a hope (Jere. 29:11). Obviously, hope has not been found by many in this world. Peace is something everyone is looking for. Where do you find the answer to the destiny mystery? Who knows and who cares to know? The Bible has stood through all these years. A manual, a guideline, for our lives was written by the only wise God many years ago. His plan was that we would read the Bible and do what it says. The answers to all life’s problems are therein, they say. But who has time to look up the answer? Who has time to sit down day after day and study the 66 books that were recorded by faithful men? Men of old would have been so grateful to have God’s words recorded in a book. Foreign countries still have need for more scriptures. Some people have come to saving knowledge without a preacher or a Bible, very few. Some converts have only a few pages from a Bible to live on. Some have been converted with only one page of the holy book. Power is in the pages. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead resides in born-again believers! (Rom. 8:11) What happened to the powerful church?

There are stories about Smith Wigglesworth and Kathryn Kuhlman and others who tapped into the power. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7) Jesus said that unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe in John 4:48. Signs shall follow those that believe according to Mark 16:17. Could it be that power is a calling card for salvation?

Why would the world want to come to church, so they can be like the world? They are the world already. The young generation has really considered why one goes to a dead church and wastes several hours several times a week. They do not see the difference that it makes. It is time for “the church” to wake up and rise up. Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you (Eph. 5:14). What is the true purpose of church? The Great Commission is to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them. Who does this pertain to? Missionaries and evangelists? No, it has been written for each disciple to disciple. When the church starts obeying Matthew 28:18-20, the church will become an exciting place to go. When new life flows into a body of water, it becomes alive. When no fresh water flows into a lake, it becomes stagnant and life within it perishes. Could it be that new life has not flowed into many churches lately, therefore, many churches are stagnant? Members are near death, but few know how dead they are. Without this new life the body of Christ devours itself. Many churches are diseased, sick, and close to death. What will revive the dying institution? When the Spirit wind blows the dead bones can be re-assembled. (Ezek. 37:14). Who will hear the WORD of the Lord? Arise, shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and Kings to the brightness of your dawn (Is. 60:1-3). When the remnant arises and shines, many who are in darkness will come to the light. Birds and bugs come to the light, and so do hungry seekers. Consider the strays. Most are committed believers seeking God privately and looking for a body that will accept them. The strays want to be fed and led to that destiny they have been called to. Pastors have been called to equip the saints for works of service (Eph. 4:11-12). Knowing individual callings and directing them to the path of satisfaction is a big job that requires prayer and the ministry of the WORD (Acts 6:4). How many pastors are waiting on tables and neglecting the ministry of the WORD of God (Acts 6:2)? Even the table waiters had to be full of the Spirit and wisdom (Acts 6:3)! Each member of the body of Christ is responsible for his part in completing the Great Commission. When each one is alive and willing to obey his call, the body will be successful in winning the world. The body will work as a unit when each part knows its mission in this world. The strays will be welcomed and loved when the body recognizes the need for each appointed member. The tapestry, the church, is not complete without each strand, each color, that was designed to complete the overall creation.

Ezekiel 34:1-6 The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.

September 23, 2007 from 5:30 -- 7:30 am

Repent and Return

America, America, I have longed to draw you unto Myself (John 12:32), but you were not willing. Acquiring things and seeking the approval and acceptance of man has become your passion. Your energy has been expended trying to build your own kingdoms. But the day will come when you will find that you are no longer in charge of this world. The day will come when you find that you need someone bigger than yourself to rescue you from the coming wrath. The warning is going forth at this time to look up for your redemption draws nigh (Luke 21:28).

It is time to attend the school led by the Holy Spirit. Knowing My voice and My commands will be very important in the days ahead. You must repent that you have not trusted in the Lord with all your heart. You have leaned on your own understanding. You have not acknowledged Me in all your ways, so I have not had the privilege of directing your paths (Prov. 3:5-6). You have planned your own ways, but you have not invited me to direct your steps (Prov. 16:9). You have known God, but you have not glorified Him nor given thanks to Him. Your thinking has become futile and your foolish hearts have become darkened (Rom. 1:21). You have gained knowledge and claimed to be wise (Rom 1:22), but your wisdom is of the carnal nature (James 3:15) and not born of the Spirit. You have exchanged the glory of God (Rom 1:23) for the accumulation of things and exchanged the truth of God for a lie. You have worshiped created things rather than the Creator (Rom. 1:25). Many of you have not given yourselves over to sexual lusts, but you have lusted for more material possessions. Sexual sins have become rampant and not only the sin, but also the action that follows breaks the Father's heart. Murdering My little ones that have been conceived in lust has been accepted in America for many years now. Their blood is crying out from the ground. America, America, it is time to repent and not turn your heads and look the other way. Repent for your sins and the sins of others who do not know they are deceived. Cry out to God for your nation (Joel 1:14). It is time to call sin, “sin” and take inventory of your lives. It is time to humble yourselves and recognize that you are not God. It is time to beseech the living God on behalf of yourself and others. It is time to seek God's face and repent of your wickedness. If you want your land healed, you, God's people, must humble yourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from your wickedness (2 Chron. 7:14).

You will find Me when you seek Me with your whole heart (Jere. 27:13), Remember the days of old when you were concerned about My plans for you? My plans continue to be the same - plans to prosper you and not to harm you - plans for a future and a hope (Jere. 29:11). What happened to hope? The world looks hopeless and acts hopeless. Where are the carriers of hope? I AM is your only hope in this hour (Rom. 15:13). You must turn back to your heavenly Father who loves you and longs to see you return. He is waiting on the road with your robe, ring, and sandals. Many of you do not know that you have squandered your inheritance and been living with the pigs. Life has become such a fast-paced Ferris wheel. You have longed for the drama to stop. You have longed to get off the ride of life, but life goes on in the fast lane. You must stop long enough to evaluate what road you are on. Are you on the road that leads to destruction or the road that leads to life? (Matt. 7:13)
Remember, I AM is the Way (John 14:6) to abundant life. The thief comes to steal your peace, kill your dreams, and destroy your passion for Me (John 10:10). STOP this nonsense! Those of you who have been laboring and have become weary, even of life itself, need to return to the lowly and gentle One who has rest not only for your souls, but your bodies (Matt:11:29). He wants you to sit in the green pastures beside the still waters. Come to the Shepherd that meets all your needs according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19). He is the Shepherd that has sheep that lack nothing (Ps. 23:1). You shall not want. The Shepherd is looking for you, even if you were the only lost one, He would leave the 99 and look for you (Luke 15:4-7). He continues to love you. He has never forsaken you or left you (Deut. 31:6). Remember, you were the one that turned your back and went the other way looking for riches and the good life.

The Shepherd is waiting.

Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you (Luke 15:18).

I am no longer worthy to be called your Son (Luke 15:19-20).

But he was a son. And the Father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.

August 4, 2007 at 5:30 am

This is a new day! Behold all things are become new! Old things have passed away! Let them! I have no use for old, dead things. I bring life to dead and injured things. I bring life back into your marriages. I bring life back to your churches. I bring life back to relationships ... because I bring life back to you! You are the church! I AM relationship! Get in the flow of things, for there is a new sweeping of My Spirit. Open wide the gates of your heart and receive a fresh infilling. For I AM has come to you. Speak life to those things that are dead in your lives. Speak life into your dead friends. Speak life to everything that will receive. Life is good when you have the life of the Spirit. Life is good when the blood of Jesus is flowing through your veins. Life is good when you are controlled by the supernatural and not the natural. Come on and smell the roses! There is a fragrance in the air of springtime. It is time for you flowers to bloom. It is time for you to receive life-giving water. It is time to bask in the Son. It is time to lay down your agenda and take up My agenda. Come to Me to find My plan for your lives. Give up on your plan that has sucked the life out of you. Stop now and take off your grave clothes of past failures. Stop now and release those hurts and pains from your past. Quit ignoring the blinders that have kept you from seeing your heavenly Father and His plan. Are you not tired of that kind of living? When are you going to give up on your plan? The longer you pursue that path, the longer you prolong not receiving the goodness that God has stored up for you. He is watching you struggle. He is standing by waiting for you to decide to turn and run from the world's way of doing things. He longs to have fellowship with you again. Remember those sweet memories of time alone with God and His Word? Return unto Me. and I will return to you (Zech. 1:3).

God of Fulfillment

I am the God of fulfillment. I will fulfill My promises. I will fulfill your life with many good things. I am the God of wholeness. I like to make things whole. I specialize in healing broken things. I am able to make all grace abound. Where there is sadness and loneliness, I am there. Where there is depression and hopelessness, I am there. My children need to learn how to apprehend those things that they have need of. All things are possible and available in and through Me. I am age old, but many have not learned of me and my power over darkness. All power belongs to Me and has been given to My children. You have power over all the works of the devil. You must use the name that has been given - the name above all names has power over every other name that presents itself against the knowledge of God (2 Cor. 10:3). This method of demolishing strongholds is not difficult or complicated. Just cast down those vain imaginations or those ideas that Satan has implanted in your mind. By the name of Jesus demons must flee. Submit to God. Submit those thoughts to God. My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are My ways your ways (Is. 55:8). Resist the devil. Cast out those thoughts that do not line up with the Word of God. You must know the Word. When you know the Word, you know the author of the Bible. When the scriptures replace those thoughts from the evil one, then he must flee from you. His thoughts dictate choices you make for life and death. God's thoughts also dictate choices you make for life and death. Choose you this day whom you will serve. Choose life, so that you and your children may live (Deut. 30:19). The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I am come to bring life more abundant (Rom. 10:10). Are you living the abundant life? Are your needs being met according to My riches in glory? Or, are you finding that someone is stealing from you? He may be stealing your finances, or stealing your peace, or stealing your rest, or stealing your children. He does not stop with stealing. If you do not resist him, he will progress to killing and destroying persons and things that you possess. It is time to rise up and take authority by the name of Jesus. Take back the land that has been stolen from you. Take back those children that belong to the Lord. Take back your health that is given as part of your inheritance from your heavenly Father. Take back your peace, so that you can rest. He whose mind is stayed on thee has perfect peace (Is. 26:3). What is the requirement? A mind stayed on God. A mind focused on God. Trusting in a God that is able to meet all your needs (Phil. 4:19) will change your life from miserable to victorious. It is time for the church to take hold of these truths and cleanse themselves. Cleanse yourselves from the world's ways of doing things. Take off the grave clothes you have been wearing hopelessness, depression, sickness, hatred. The wages of sin is death (Eph. 6:23). If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land (2 Chron. 7:14). If My people . that means the church who says they believe in Jesus! It is time for My people to sanctify, to consecrate, themselves before amazing things begin to happen there (Joshua 3:5). The heathen have not seen enough victory in the church to desire what the church has to offer. It is time to produce fruit that will lead men to repentance (Matt. 3:8). It is time first to cleanse the temple, then sinners will be converted.

Create in me a pure heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. THEN I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you (Psalm 51:10-13).

New, new year 2007

New, new, new. This is a new year. Brush away the old, dried leaves that have been piling up and making a hedge, a barrier, between you and Me. Sweep away the old dead things in your life, so that you will have room for the new, living things! My compassion is new every morning (Lam 3:23). My WORD brings newness of life. My power brings life into dead, hurting, diseased things. My name has power over all names. At My name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus as Lord (Phil 2:10). My love is everlasting; it never ends. Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love (Jere 31:3). Walk ye in it! Walk into the highway and byways in My love. Walk into the workplace in My love. Walk into the church house in My love. Do not walk anywhere without My love. Do not leave home without it! Things will change if you walk in My love. Those things you have been believing for for many years will change, if you walk in My love. Those people that frustrate you and cause you to get off track will change when you walk in My love. All things are possible with Me (Mark 10:27). All things. Quit making things seem impossible. The only way it is impossible is if you leave Me out of the equation. Without Me nothing is possible. Start seeing things the way you want them to be. Start seeing in the Spirit and not in the flesh. You look at situations and see what you see and deem them impossible. Look at those situations through the eyes of the Spirit, and you will have possibility thinking. The One who makes things possible becomes a reality, instead of a dead God that cannot perform. Take your hands off those situations. Leave the job to the Perfect One who is without spot or wrinkle (1 Peter 1:19). Your hands get in the way of the Master. Your hands are not always familiar with the Master plan. The Master has a plan that often you do not know about. You have formed your own plan and became confident in it. The Master waits until you give up on our own plan. He steps in when you give up and give Him permission to do what He wants to do when He wants to do it. The sooner you step aside, the faster the work will be accomplished. Many times the delay is not God, it is you defying the power of God and His ability to fix the situation. THIS IS THE YEAR OF COMPLETION!! Those things that have been lacking will be completed this year. The fruition of your prayers will come this year. Look up for your redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). Draw near to Me (James 4:8), and I will draw near to you. You need to become a unified body that moves in congress as one unit. You need to know how to hear My heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (Matt 12:34). Listen to My voice. Follow My plan. Disregard any other plan that you have been following. There is an excitement coming this year for joy will be restored to the people of God. As you lay down your plans and take up My plans, you will find what I meant when I said, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matt 11:30) That is why My WORD says that in My presence is fullness of joy (Acts 2:28/Ps16:11). So many of My children have been out working their plans and have not checked in with the Master. They are weary in their labors; they are heavy laden. Taking time alone with Me has become a burden and no longer a priority. Reading the WORD has become a chore that is done quickly. You have placed a check on your list of things to do, but you did not stay long enough to get the revelation of the WORD which only comes by the Spirit. Your busyness has brought you much pain and sorrow. Was it really worth it to push your bodies beyond what they were made to do? Is the money you made worth it or will it just be tainted or blood money? You are leaving out the very most important thing - relationship with your heavenly Father. I AM is still on the throne waiting patiently for you to return. Come learn of Me and My ways (Matt 11:29). The words of the Bible are old, but they still have life if you invite the Spirit to join you. These words will never fade away (1 Peter 1:25), for you will need them as long as you are in your earthly vessels. The WORD is that nourishment you have been looking for. Your body longs for life from the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). I have not changed. I AM still the same. I have not lost power. I AM still all power, all glory, all honor. I AM omniscient. I AM omnipresent. I AM omnipotent! You do not even have to look for Me, for I AM. I AM near you. I AM near all of you. Cry out to Me wherever you are, and I will hear you. Cry out with your whole heart, and you will find Me (Jere 29:13). I can be found by you. I long to perform miracles on your behalf, but I AM not a robot that is run by your commands. I know about all your needs. I know what is best for you. I know how to meet your needs. Come humbly before Me. Pride must be brought down. Your confidence in the flesh must be brought low. Pride cometh before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall (Prov 16:18). I resist the proud, but give grace to the humble (James 4:6). As you humbly bow, all heaven and earth becomes available to you. My gifts and giftings are available. The key to My heart will open up bounteous blessings as you bow in My presence. That joy that the world has been looking for is still in bounteous supply when you kneel in My presence. Come and drink of the living water. Come bathe in the living water. Come swim in the living water. Lay down all your disappointments and failures. Lay down all your successes and victories. They are all filthy rags in My sight (Is 64:6). Come naked before the King. Come and be clothed in My righteousness. Put the gospel shoes on your feet and the ring on your finger. It is time to party in the heavenlies! (1:07 pm on 1/1/07)

Remember, there is a backlog of prophetic words that have never been downloaded. My prophetic ones have been asleep. They have gone away and wallowed in self-pity. The prophetic ones have been a target for the enemy for so long. If he can get them off track, that breaks a link in the chain. The WORD says that the Lord will notify the prophets before something happens (Amos 3:7). If they are asleep or near death, they will not hear the Master's voice that will warn the people of things to come. For too long the prophetic ones have been gagged by church leaders. It has been as if the mouths of the prophets have been covered like bandits of old. It is time to come forth to the light. It is time to speak to the wind. It is time to speak to the dry bones. It is time for life to come back to the body of Christ. The foundation has been cracked, for the prophets and apostles have been disregarded by the church. The time will come when Christians get tired of dead churches with a cracked foundation. They will leave to find life before they die with the rest of them. The buildings will have ICHABOD written over them, for life is gone. Run quickly to a place where the Spirit is alive. Run as if you are needing oxygen to breathe. Run to the bottle that has the life-giving flow. There is a plan for these days that is different than the plan of old. Those that have not checked in with the Master did not know there was a change. Church is not as usual anymore. Who can I find that will come get the word for the hour and proclaim it boldly without fear of what people will say? It is time for My people to be as bold as a lion (Prov 28:1). It is time for My people to go up to the mountain (Micah 3:2), then bring good news. How lovely upon the mountain are those! You must be cleansed (Ps 51:10-13) and purified from the world's way of doing things. You must be restored to a new vitality that others will desire. That joy you receive in My presence will adorn your faces as you walk among the world. Evil is abounding, but grace is also (Rom 5:20). Your joy will be like a fresh drink of water as the world trudges down life's wide road. You will be a light in the darkness. You will shine and attract the bugs and dregs of society. You will be full of My love and will pour it out upon a dry and thirsty land. You must return to the spout for a re-filling or you will soon be acting like the world again. It is a life-giving cycle of filling up and pouring out. Many have been trying to pour out without filling up. Some never pour out, but become stagnant. It is dead works that are seeing no results. The people are still sick and tired and without hope. Without the God of hope change is not possible. You cannot succeed without Me. Come unto Me and forget all of your great works. They are not impressing Me, for I was not included. Praise to the One who created this earth will cause man to bow down and honor the God of the universe. Praise to God and not to man opens the door to the supernatural. Until man can bow to Almighty God, he will continue to walk as a man. When man bows, he walks into a new realm of the Spirit. Days will become more evil; it is true. It will cause many to take inventory of what they are trusting in. Many will find that wealth and riches have been leading them to an empty existence. Many will be looking for hope and peace. Fear and torment have been their partners far too long. When man gets tired of this existence is when the Great I AM is considered as an antidote. What wondrous things come on the scene when man looks up. Redemption is a complete package of everything a man needs for life and godliness (Eph 1:7). It is that free gift that has been offered for 2000 years (Eph 2:8). The blood has already been shed. Forgiveness is now possible (Heb 9:22). Come and receive the redemption package. It is free to all who will receive. (1:52 pm on 1/1/07)

I AM everything

Come unto Me all ye who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Come learn of Me. Come learn of Me. You must know who I AM I these days, so that you will know who you are. My people are confused and unlearned about who I really am. I AM everything that you are looking for. I AM everything all in one package and one place. I AM your peace. I AM your provision. I AM your protection. I AM your direction. I AM your friend. I AM your confidant. I AM your shepherd. I AM the banner that is over you. I AM the King of the whole world. I AM all power. I AM all glory. I AM all honor. I AM that I AM. I AM all that I said that I would be. I AM the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I AM the same. I never change. Come away with Me and hear My voice. Come away with Me and hear My heart. Come away with Me, and I will direct your path. Come away with Me, and I will show you great and mighty things you have not known. Come away from your depression. Come away from your disappointments. Come away from your frustrations. Come away from your loneliness. Come away from all that keeps you from coming away with Me. These are evil days, and you must learn of Me. You must learn how to hear My voice. You must know what I have called you to do in these end times. Your destiny is at stake. Your future is in My hands. My plans need to become your plans. Night is coming when no man will be able to work. The fields are white unto harvest. Who will choose to go with Me? Who will choose to harvest the fields while they are ripe? Who will lay down his cross and pick up My cross? Who will deny himself and follow Me? I am recruiting for the most exciting days ever in this world as you know it. I am recruiting for those who will lay down their lives to take My hand and follow Me to places unknown by you. This time is only a short period, then the window of opportunity will pass. Who will lay down his fears and his money and his ideas of how to make a living? Come, for now is the time. Now is the time of salvation. Now is the time for the greatest harvest of the age. Who will go? Who will come unto Me to find the plans I have for you? Come away with Me, my love, come away!

Break forth

The time has come and shall be when men will bow before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Break forth from your grave clothes. Break forth from the barriers that have hindered you. Break forth from the fears of your past. Break forth from depression, discouragement, and disappointment. Break forth from the expectations of others. Break forth from your negative circumstances. Now is the time to put on your robes of righteousness. Now is the time to sing a new song. Now is the time to see what I have prepared for you. Now is the time to transform your mind from old thoughts to My thoughts. Now is the time to become productive participants in the gospel of JC. Now is the time to become energized with my strength for this new day. Today is the day of salvation! No longer waste time waiting for that day when you will break forth. Come out from among them. Rise up, O men of God. Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead. It is time for the church to shake themselves and pick up the sickle for the fields are white unto harvest. Do not leave the grain in the fields to spoil. Even as an air mattress is pumped up to become useful, so am I pumping up My people, so they will be useful in the harvest. Fill yourselves to the full with My Holy Spirit. That is what you need. Power is available for the job that is before you. You must come unto Me to receive your re-fueling. You have been darting from place to place looking for the answers, looking for the solutions to your problems, but I AM has always been here, even before the beginning of time. Why make it so hard on yourselves? Obviously the world does not have the answer. Look around. There is desperation everywhere. People are looking for a reason for hope. Some have already given up and decided that life was not worth living. Look in My Word. I AM the hope you are looking for. I have not changed. This is not a new prescription for your ailments; it is an age-old package for all your needs. All your needs will be met according to My riches in glory. Your riches have only gained you frustration and confusion and weariness. I AM calling for a generation that will believe Me, believe My Word, and act upon it! It is time for the forerunners to run before the team. You must have something to give others. You must be a good example, so others will follow. You must know the Healer, Deliverer, the Savior of the world. You must leave the world's way of doing things You must be willing to follow My plan. You must trust in the Great I AM. The journey will be adventurous and rewarding. The satisfaction that you have been looking for is on the narrow road. At this time it is hard to tell the sheep from the goats. The church has adopted many of the world's ways. The church has a watered-down gospel. The church needs to be cleansed from all sin. The church needs new eyes to see reality, to see the real state of the church. The church needs to get back to the basics of soul-winning. The church is My home where sinners can be converted unto Me. Who will rise up in this hour? Who will be different when others all want to look the same? Who will follow My plan for their lives? Who is willing to follow and not lead? Who is brave enough to leave the comfort of same ole, same ole? Who can I count on to lead the warriors into battle for the souls of men? Time is short, so time to enlist is now. Come unto Me. Come hear the battle plans. In My presence is that fullness of joy that you have been looking for. In My presence your worries will wane. In My presence new thoughts will replace the old ones. In My presence you will find your true identity. In My presence you will be loved with an everlasting love. In My presence you will find pleasures forevermore. Come on in! The water is fine! It is time to swim in the anointing that is available from your heavenly Father. (received 10/28/06)

Prodigal, Come Home

There is a time coming and shall be when all men will bow before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Prepare yourselves for this great event. You can learn to humble yourselves and bow before your God willfully or you will be forced to bow in reverence to the King of the universe. The time will come where people will respond whether they choose to, or not. The “do your own thing” policy will suddenly change. The theology of “who needs God?” will be challenged. Those who have lived only for themselves will find that much time was wasted on things that ultimately did not matter. Regrets that warnings were not heeded will be great. Many will say, “Why did you not tell me?” The word has been out and continues to go forth that the end really is coming. There will be a showdown where true believers will be separated from the unbelievers. That which was written to warn people was the truth that people needed to heed. The book has lasted through the ages and will last forever. The Bible is a love letter to My people. How to live a successful and fulfilled life has been recorded. The book has been a best seller for many years, but it will do you no good unless you read it and do what it says. I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. My Word is the same; it does not change. It has been the same through the ages, but time is winding down to make the decision that brings life - to accept Me as Lord of your life and actually live like it. Shout it from the housetops that “Jesus is Lord” and our soon-coming King. Even as in times of old when I came to earth the first time, many did not believe. They were looking for an earthly king, but could not accept a heavenly king. Unbelievers will always be around, just like there will always be poor people. I have sent forth My Word among you. The prophets have foretold that the end is near. Many have spoken the truth about my soon return. Why do you not believe it? Why do you continue to live life the same as you always have? You must repent and return to the God of your youth. You must turn from your wicked ways and turn to God's ways. My ways are for your good. My plans are to prosper you and not to harm you. My plans are for a future and a hope. The requirement to receive that future and hope is to seek Me with your whole heart and you will find Me. Why is there so much hopelessness in this world? Why are so many turning to drugs and alcohol? Why are so many depressed and disappointed? Follow the rules! Seek me with your whole heart, and you will find the God of Hope. Pursue Me as actively as you have pursued drink and doctors and drugs. My promises continue to be true. You will find Me, but first you must seek Me. There are those of you who have counted on someone else's god. You never took the time to establish your own relationship with the God who created you. I AM the one who knows you intimately and knows for what purpose you were created. Would it not be wise to check in with the Maker who produced you to find out what the directions are for your life? Why do you consult those who do not even claim to be spiritual to tell you how to run your life? Some of you are consulting the “other” spiritual counselors through tarot cards, fortune-tellers, and psychic hotlines. Who deceived you into buying that philosophy? Of course, the answer is the great deceiver, Satan, he did that for you. When you continue to sin and do things I have forbidden in My Word, you will continue to be counseled by the devil. You have left the door wide open for he and his demonic host to visit you frequently. You wonder why things are going bad for you. How did you get to this place? Making decisions without consulting God will take you to places you did not want to go. Thinking that you know it all and do not need assistance will take you down roads of destruction. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall (Prov.16:18). Listening to the media that tells you, “you deserve it” or “think about yourself first,” has led you over the cliff. That is not My Way of thinking. I did not make the universe to revolve around you. Not only did I not make it that way, but you cannot be happy living by that philosophy. It is time to wake up and shake yourself. Shake off all the grave clothes you have accumulated on your journey to that distant land. You have squandered a great fortune on worthless things and have lived in a pigpen for too long. Your Father continues to wait on the road back home. He has not left His post, since you left home to make your fortune. The robe and ring are available for you, Prodigal. The party has been planned, but the honored guest has not shown up yet. Is it not time to come home? Give up your plan and learn of His plan (Matt.11:28-30). "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Lay down your burdens. You cannot carry them, but I will carry them for you. Life is more meaningful when you follow My path - the path that was chosen for you from the beginning of the age. You are my beloved child. I made you, and I continue to love you dearly. I long for your return. Child, you are mine! Received 9/3/06

Excitement rising!

There is an excitement rising in me for the future days when God will be pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. The gifts will be multiplied; the power will be multiplied to equal the task of bringing in the end-time harvest. I believe God will bypass those who have stood in the way of the kingdom advancing. He will pass over those that were building their own kingdoms and being intimidated by those who appeared to want their thrones. The days will come when those with pure hearts will advance to the front, advance rank, for God will be able to show them the way. As in the days of old, God will show the Way. He does have a Plan! He has not given up yet! He really is not even worried about the future! God is sorting out the ones who are ready for battle. Even as a cowboy sorts his cattle, God also is sorting his people. Even as Gideon's army was sorted, God will leave the weak ones, the cowards behind, because the battle will rage. It will be a war for the strong and courageous. This is part of the preparation. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The Bible says to be alert - get ready! The battle cry is sounding. Who will hear His cry? Who will go? Who will say, "Here am I. Send me?" Many are being deceived. Many are waging war in their own camps. There are many casualties. Get out of the four walls and look up for your redemption draws nigh. Get out of the foxhole. The church has been hiding in fear far too long. No war was ever won in the foxhole. Arise for battle! Stand up! Your foe is at hand! Count on your Commander-in-Chief to give you your orders. Clean up your past. Close the door on old grievances and things that have kept you down. It is time to forgive and forget and quit wasting time pondering on things of the past. Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing. Yes, it is a new way in a new day. Those who continue to do things the old way will find few results. I AM wants to issue the uniforms for His regiment and be in charge. I AM has the plan for victory. He will be waging the last war to end the world as it presently exists. Those who hear His voice and obey are the ones who will lead the army to victory. Oh, what an exciting time it will be to be a part of God's army! This will be the first time for many things. Marching to Zion, what a blessed event! Received 5/21/06.

Army of the Lord

I am shaking the sleeping giant, the church. The potential there is like a giant ship that can go out to sea and rescue many perishing souls. But the interest, the motivation to do so, is waning. My people, my people, need a direction correction. The plumb line has moved. The emphasis is no longer on Me, but thee. Life has become such a struggle for My people. Keeping up with others has become the goal of many. Instead of putting your eyes on Me, the goal is things and accomplishments. Woe unto you, the time has come to return to your God. Return to your passion for the things of God. Return to the instruction book that brings life, even in hard times. I AM calling My church to a higher level than they have ever gone. You must rise up, O men and women of God. You must rise to the occasion. You are My leaders in this world. It is time for harvest. You need to be getting the machinery ready for the harvest of the ages. It is no time to be standing in the house and looking out the window at the fields that are white. It is true that the laborers are few (Luke 10:2), but where are you? Are you not willing to lay down your life and pick up the sickle? (Swing the sickle for the harvest is ripe. Joel 3;13) Are you not willing to join with Me for the plan to win the world in this time? Come unto Me, ye who are weary, and I will give you rest. I will teach you My ways and My will, but you must be willing (Matt 11:29). You have plans and goals, but will you lay yours down for mine? Come away with Me. Come out of the world and what it has to offer. My offer is for eternal things - things that will not perish - things that are not temporal. Consider the cost of not choosing My way. There is fullness of joy in My presence (John 16:24). Have you had a lack thereof lately? Joy, what is that? The times have worried you and caused you to fear. Did I not warn you that these things would happen in the latter days (Matt 24:6)? Evil will abound, but grace will even more abound (Romans 5:20 b). Do not look to man's assessment of these days, but look to My Word. It has been around a long time and will never pass away. The wisdom from the ages is recorded therein for My people. I have always known what would happen now and in the future. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever (Matt 13:8). I knew you before you were formed in the womb (Psalm 139:15). My plan never changes. My purpose for your life remains the same, whether you choose to participate in My plan, or not. There is a great need in this hour for cooperation in the body - to unite for the cause of bringing in the largest harvest the world has ever known. Wake up, church! (Eph 5:14) It is time to labor while there is still light. The time will come when no man can work (John 9:4). I AM the Recruiter of the Army. Many positions are open waiting to be filled. My "sign-on" package is better than anyone can offer you. All your needs can be met by Me (Phil 4:19). Transfer your trust from yourself to your heavenly Father. Join the ranks. Come to the War Room to get your orders. This is the most exciting time since the beginning of time. The fruition of all prophecy you will see and be a part of. You were made for a time such as this (Esther 4:14). Even as Queen Esther was groomed for the king, you too are entering into that arena of being groomed for service. You, like Esther, will be in a position to save your people from destruction! Sign up now. The offer will not be open indefinitely. Time is short, so join the Army of God! Today is the day of salvation! (2 Cor 6:2) Received 11/1/05.

The Red Cross

What is on your mind today, God?

My people, my people. They go around as if they have not seen the warning signs. I am calling them unto Myself. It is time to seek the Lord and find revelation for the future. Dark days are ahead. It will be hard to make it without a strong relationship with the heavenly Father. Those that are not connected to the vine need to get hooked up with the life-giving flow of the Father. Those who are broken off from the vine need to come for healing and restoration. There are many who are suffering and need critical care. The church is being called out as the Red Cross in a disaster. There are many desperate, lonely, hopeless people who need a word of hope. Church, you must become strong in the Lord and in the power of My might. You are My body in the earth. You are My voice in the earth. My heart is that none should perish, but that all would come to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. My heart is that none would remain hurting, but they would come to the life-giving flow and drink. Drink, even as the men of old came to drink of the water to find life. The church has to be the life-line. You must throw out the rope to rescue the perishing. I said you must "Go" and make disciples. Too long the church has thought the lost would come, but I said to "Go!" Complacent church is over. It is time to arise and go - go across all your comfort zones. Go across the street to your neighbor. Go to that quiet place to find out where to "go." The battle is on for men's souls. Your obedience is paramount for lives are in the balance. I have a battle plan, but you must "come" and get it before you "go." My plan is for victory over your enemy, the devil. Come unto Me all ye who are weary, and I will give you rest. Come learn of Me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and I will give you rest for your souls. Look up for your redemption draws nigh. Who will you take with you? Have you been in your own little world not seeing the devastation all around you? Come out and march to the beat of a different drum. Give yourselves totally to Me. I AM worth it! I Am that I Am has spoken. Received 10/30/05.
