SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS


This is a time when you can take whatever steps are necessary to leave the past behind in ways that are deliberate and decisive.  You must do this before you can step into the next phase of progression.  Be done with things that are no longer useful and not relevant to who you are and where you are going.  Hold the things of the earth with an open hand, says the Lord.

  Colossians 3:2  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 

Prophetic Bulletin - The Supreme Court vs. The Supreme Being by Rick Joyner



        When the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) declared same-sex marriage to be a constitutional right, it was a slap in the face to the laws of God and man. It was a direct frontal assault on both religious freedom and the Constitution of the United States, undercutting the very foundations on which they stand. This is a brief on the consequences of this momentous decision using “The Three Questions” from the U.S. Army Manual for addressing a crisis. Those questions are:
1)  What is happening?
2)  What is not happening?
3)  What can we do about it?
         As we address these, we will begin with the natural first and then the spiritual.
What is Happening?
         As the four dissenting justices pointed out, the Supreme Court does not have the constitutional authority to make this decision. First, even though SCOTUS has taken this authority upon itself, it is a usurped authority and nowhere does the Constitution give it this authority. The authority to determine the constitutionality of laws was given to Congress, not the courts. We are now suffering under the very tyranny that the founders warned about if the courts ever presumed this authority. Regardless of our position on same-sex marriage, every American should be deeply troubled by the actions of SCOTUS that this case is just the most recent and dramatic.
Creeping Tyranny
         The first reason this crucial authority was given to Congress instead of the Executive branch, or the courts, is because the Congress is elected every two years, and therefore would be the most accountable to the people, who in the U.S. are the sovereign. The courts were for deciding whether or not individual cases had been tried fairly and justly. But nowhere is any court, including the Supreme Court, given authority to determine if a law or action is constitutional.
         Congress does have the authority to designate specific cases to the court for this purpose if it chooses to, but if Congress does not give this authority in a specific case, SCOTUS has no legal authority for such a decision, and it is therefore not valid.
         The second reason why this was an unlawful decision is that the Constitution states that any authority not specifically given to the Federal Government is reserved to the states and the people. Nowhere is the Federal Government given authority to give definitions or policy on social issues such as marriage and the family. The hubris of the Supreme Court to change the definition of marriage that has been universally accepted in civilized nations for six thousand years of recorded history is not only shocking, but an unprecedented level of arrogance by the Supreme Court.
         Because Congress’ accountability to the people would be the most direct, it was designed to be the most powerful of the three branches of government. It was given “the power of the purse” to maintain their ultimate authority. Because of weak leadership in Congress, both the Executive and Judicial branches have usurped Congress’ authority in recent times to the point where it is now almost powerless, and the predicted tyranny is now a reality.
        Without the constitutional authority to do what it did, the SCOTUS has violated its oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic. It is against every principle of a republic to have five un-elected officials determine the law of the land. This is why Justice Scalia declared this decision “a threat to democracy.” This was not an overstatement. If this is allowed to stand, we no longer have a Constitutional Republic in America.   
        What the Federal Government has become is proof that you can have the best form of government and still have bad government if you put bad people in it. The whole system by which we nominate our leaders has become distorted in order to favor incumbents and the establishment so that it is nearly impossible for the will of the people to prevail now.
        The government of the United States was not established to be the all-powerful authority over everyone, but rather to be the servant of the people. We, the people, are the sovereign and everyone who works in government is supposed to be working for us. It has now become a runaway monster that is consuming everything in its path. If the people do not rise up to take their authority back, then it will very soon require another revolution to recover democracy in America.
The Foundation of Our Union
        The Constitution is the foundation upon which our Federal Government is based, and without the Constitution, our Federal Government no longer has legitimate authority to govern. There has been a long and continuous erosion of the links between the laws and actions of the Federal Government and the Constitution. This decision on same-sex marriage may seem innocuous and even frivolous to most Americans, but it represents such a radical decoupling the Federal Government from the Constitution that it will destroy the legitimacy of the Federal Government if allowed to stand.       
        The overreach of our Federal Government has put itself in great jeopardy, and in recent years it has divided Americans into factions instead of uniting them. A growing chorus of states is talking seriously about succession, and this is a very real possibility.
        Paul the Apostle wrote to Titus that even false prophets can sometimes tell the truth (see Titus 1:12-13). Pravda, the Moscow daily newspaper, has been predicting for years that the United States would break up into several pieces just like the Soviet Union. Their reasoning was not based merely on sour grapes, but on the historically proven consequences of the kind of direction in which our government has been going. To date, we have most alarmingly followed the pattern predicted. We really are close to breaking apart.
Worldview
        Islamists consider America “the great Satan” because of our moral and spiritual debauchery that has made us “a homosexual nation”—so perverted that the only remedy is to wipe us off the face of the earth. Their belief about the U.S. has now been affirmed by this Supreme Court decision. This decision will likely make their recruiting to this cause much easier. This is not the only issue fueling these groups, but it is a major one.
This is not to imply we should ever base our laws or domestic policy on what other nations think, but we should understand how we are perceived by the nations and how it will affect our relations with them. This has also been a major wedge driven between the U.S., Russia, and China, as well as Africa and South America. To much of the world, the U.S. and Western Europe now look like Sodom and Gomorrah.
What is Happening (Spiritually)?  
         All devout Christians, Muslims, and Jews base their faith on the written word that they hold to be the revelation of God’s will for those who serve Him by seeking to obey Him. These three major religions have a clear definition of marriage in their written word, and all three agree that homosexuality is a sin. To compel devout Christians, Muslims, and Jews to accept homosexual marriage as marriage forces them all to decide if they will obey God or men.
         The very first lie of Satan that was used to cause the fall of man was “Did God really say that?” This remains Satan’s most deadly strategy against mankind—to get us to doubt the clear Word of God. If we are true Christians, we must establish in our hearts and minds what God says about these issues and resolve to stand on His Word. He said that if we do not obey Him, then we are not really following Him. This is an obvious demarcation point that will force many to choose if they will follow God or man.
         Just as the devil attacked Adam and Eve by trying to confuse them about what God had really said, he begins this same attack on every believer. He knows that if he can get us to doubt God’s Word, then he can keep us deceived our whole lives. The devil continues to use this strategy because it has been so successful, and it has been successful in our own time with many Christians. This is why studies of even conservative evangelical Christians who are supposed to be the most devoted to The Bible revealed that less than 10% of them had a biblical worldview.
         The Lord gave us His written Word so we could see the world, mankind, and ourselves as He does. To see as He does is to see the truth. As the Lord said through Isaiah the prophet, those who do not speak according to His Word do not have the light in them (see Isaiah 8:20). Of the Christians I have discussed the Supreme Court decision with, only one used Scripture for their perspective. Most of the Christians I talked to were parroting the world’s perspective, which is based on a humanistic philosophy that stands in direct conflict with God’s will as revealed in His Word. According to His Word, these have already fallen away and do not have the light.
         A primary reason for this has been the dumbing down of The Great Commission to merely making converts instead of disciples, which is defined as teaching them everything the Lord commanded. Lacking this solid foundation of biblical truth has made it very easy for the devil to deceive and confuse Christians about what God really said in His Word. Now we must ask from what were these saved?
        God made His opinion on homosexuality very clear. In the Book of Revelation, we see that one of the final and ultimate conflicts is between the Lord’s messengers and “the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt” (see Revelation 11:8). This issue will be a demarcation point that will determine who will walk in His truth.
         Because of the shallowness of believers to even know what is in His Word, it is likely that not many will be standing at all very soon. Of one thing we can be sure, if any are standing, it will be enough. If just one is standing on the truth, the truth will ultimately prevail. Even so, for a time we can expect that those who will be standing on the truth and wholly following the Lord will be paired down to a very small number.
         The increasing persecution against Christians in America is already having the positive effect of having many Christians’ worldview challenged. Some are waking up to the profound differences between what the Scriptures actually say and what they have been told they say, often even by their own compromising pastors. This will be fuel on the fire of another Great Awakening. Regardless of how small a number the faithful become, their faithfulness will ultimately turn the tide. There will be a Third Great Awakening in America.
         All devout Christians, devout Muslims, and devout Jews have been thrown into the same boat on this issue. Already many non-religious Americans who care about freedom and the Constitution are beginning to also speak up. It will be most interesting to see how this plays out.
         As the divisions in our country become more clear and pronounced than ever, look for the greatest unity and fellowship to grow in the small and persecuted company of the faithful. It is always worth it to stand on our convictions without compromise. We will also find out that those we did not think we had any common ground with are standing together with us.
What is Not Happening?
         First, the same-sex marriage issue is not about allowing people who love each other to have a committed relationship. The LGBT has been brilliant in keeping so many Americans believing this, and the naïve, the ignorant, and the lukewarm have bought into it. Those in marketing, branding, and messaging know that they will be far more successful by projecting a simple message and staying on point.
         You must give the LGBT credit for knowing what they are doing in forming public opinion. Regardless of what they say, the LGBT community is between 1.6% and 2% of the population. The way they have changed public opinion in America in such a short time is a remarkable accomplishment.
         However, to American citizens, this is about freedom—everyone’s freedom, not just freedom of religion. The religious have rights too. If the LGBT has the right not to have moral standards imposed on them, then the religious have the right not to have immorality imposed on them. To force what a religion considers to be sin imposed upon the devout, taught to their children, or to determine whether or not they may do business, is the destruction of the freedom of religion in our country and a profound undermining of all our other freedoms as well.
         Second, Christians do not hate homosexuals. I am pretty well connected in conservative evangelical circles, as well as with other movements and denominations. I do not recall ever meeting someone with a hatred of homosexuals. Disagreeing, even vehemently disagreeing, is not the same as hatred. Hatred is what anyone who has stood up to the LGBT has usually faced.
         Most devout Christians that I know have friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family members who are homosexuals. I don’t know any who do not love and respect them. That is the biblical command for Christians, but it does not mean we have to agree with them. Disagreeing does not mean one is a hater, or a homophobe. For the LGBT to keep using that tactic will be their own ultimate undoing.
         Most Christians that I know would fight to protect homosexuals from being attacked or discriminated against. The resistance of Christians that I know to same-sex marriage has nothing to do with depriving the rights of homosexuals, but about preserving their own rights and freedoms that have come under continuous and relentless attack from the LGBT.
         The LGBT has been most successful in getting its message out.  Christians and other religious conservatives have done a very poor job of getting their message out, or educating their fellow believers about the real issues, much less the public in general. Much of this is the result of Christians being in such disunity. As we are taught by the unfolding consequences of this SCOTUS decision, which will be a very expensive lesson, the Christians that are left standing will unify and will get their message right.
         The LGBT has fought with great courage, resolve, and wisdom. The lack of courage in the Christian community may be the greatest crisis in our times. One congressman recently said to me that if they saw more courage in the church, we would see more courage in Washington.
         With but few exceptions, the conservative religious community has been just as lacking in resolve and wisdom as it has lacked courage. The exceptions being things like the passing of Proposition Eight in California. In that case, one homosexual judge, who should have recused himself from even hearing this case, threw out this vote by millions of Californians. Is that how a republic is supposed to operate? Of course not, which is why the courts were not given the authority they have now usurped, and by this are destroying the foundations of our Republic. But the protest against this was hardly a whimper.
          The LGBT has been successful by using Saul Alinsky’s strategies outlined in Rules for Radicals. This is basically using threats, intimidation, and almost any form of guile to win, because the end justifies the means. These have proven very effective against a weak or indifferent people, and now they have proven effective in America. We can, therefore, expect a lot more of the same until there is a courageous and resolute stand against any agenda that uses such tactics.
What Can We Do About It?
#1)   We must resolve that we will obey God rather than men.
          The Supreme Court does not have authority over the Supreme Being. Christians are commanded to respect and obey the laws of civil governments until they conflict with the laws of God. Then we must obey God rather than men. This test has come frequently in history, and is a basic determining factor in who we are really worshipping.
         We will all one day stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. The worst thing we could suffer is to come before Him as a watchman who did not sound the alarm, or a shepherd who failed to protect His people. Let us resolve above all things that we will obey Him regardless of the consequences. The greatest souls to ever walk the earth were all similarly tried. Many of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ risk their lives every day to worship and obey Him. Now it is the American church’s time to be tested.
#2)   Know what you believe, and why.
         We must resolve to base our convictions on the clearly revealed Word of God in the Scriptures and to reject the enemy’s devices to confuse them. If Jesus, Who is the Word, would take His stand on “It is written!” how much more do we need to know what is written and resolve that we will believe and live by it regardless of what anyone thinks of us?
         Spurgeon once said he could find ten men who would die for The Bible for every one who would read it. This is likewise a great tragedy of our times and a reason why so few believers are true salt and light as they are called to be. Have the noble spirit of the Bereans who, even after hearing the great Apostle Paul, went back to search the Scriptures for themselves to see if the things he taught were true.
#3)   Engage in the crucial issues of our times.
         According to Isaiah chapters 1-5, an ultimate depravity a nation can fall into is to start calling evil good and good evil, to honor the dishonorable, and dishonor the honorable. Good is what God calls good, and evil is what He calls evil, not what is politically expedient. Because the U.S. has fallen to this ultimate depravity, we are now suffering the first of the consequences of this that is foretold.
         The first judgment against such a nation is to be ruled over by the capricious and immature. How else could you better describe what has happened to our country? It gets worse if we do not repent. The things that will soon come cascading down upon us are not the Lord smiting us as much as Him just removing His hedge of protection, so that we reap what we are sowing.
         For the sake of our country, our fellow believers, and even our enemies, we must never compromise our convictions regardless of the consequences. It is time to be bold. The great ones who have taken such a stand in history have often lost all they had, including their freedom, and in many cases, their lives. But they never lost their faith in God. It is worth any price to remain faithful and not compromise His truth that has been entrusted to us.
         The only reason why anti-Christian forces are prevailing in America is because the church is asleep, or worse, lukewarm. As we are warned in James 4:17, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (NKJV). If just a small fraction of the evangelical church had voted in the last two elections, we would have different leaders, and we would have a different Supreme Court. We would not be talking about these issues that are now trouncing upon our liberty.
         From the Executive to the courts to the Legislative branches, the Federal Government has become dysfunctional and incapable of leading through these times. Democracy has not failed, but we have failed democracy. We did this by allowing all the things the founders warned us the Republic could not survive. In many ways, our Republic is now on the brink of collapse. Yet it will not collapse, if we turn to the One who upholds the universe by the Word of His power. He can restore us.
         The Lord promised that if just two or three would gather in His name, He would be with them. Two or three with Jesus is an overwhelming majority against even the biggest forces of evil. Do not be like the ten evil spies who were intimidated by how big the giants were in their land; be like the faithful Joshua and Caleb who saw the same giants, but saw how much bigger their God was than any of them.
#4)   Never forget that “Love never fails.”
         We must love the Lord above all else. We must love our neighbor as ourselves. If we love someone, we will tell them the truth. If we love the truth, we will devote ourselves to finding it, and then obeying it, always keeping in mind that truth is what God says it is, not what men say it is, even those on the Supreme Court.
          Always remember that God’s definition of a word is what counts. His ways are higher than our ways, and His love is higher than our love. His love is not like that which is based on human sympathy or lust. His love will never fail, and it is His love that we must seek and walk in. His love is also severe at times. Do not confuse fallen human emotions with His love.
         Keep in mind that the heathen only believe as we would believe if we had not been shown grace. They are only doing what we would be doing if we had not been shown grace. It is not just a cliché but sober truth that “Except for the grace of God there go I.” We must pray for grace for our adversaries, and the greatest victory of all is their salvation.
#5)   “Love never quits.”
         This is how the verse from I Corinthians13 could have been translated, and it also applies. Do not give up on your country. The greatest prophets arose, and the moves of God in history all came during the times of greatest darkness and debauchery. Regardless of whether or not we personally get to see it in this life, the truth of God will ultimately prevail. The nations will come to His light, just as we are promised in Isaiah 60:1-3 and other places. 
        We must not put limits on how long we will stand or what cost we will pay to stand for God and His truth. We do not just stand for truth because it is the winning side, but because truth is our oxygen. God’s truth will ultimately win, but for His own reasons, the Lord often allows setbacks to test His people. Truth will win over all deception and lies, but we may not get to see that in our lifetime; however, our life can help lead to this victory if we live by the truth.  We stand because it is the right thing to do.
        Just as the apostles went out rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for the sake of the name of the Lord, to be persecuted for His truth is one of the greatest honors one can have in this life. This is something we now get to do. It is now our time.
        Don’t give up. The ship can still be saved. It is heavily damaged and listing to the port side (left), but as long as it is still floating, we must resolve to save her. We cannot allow to be lost on our watch what so many paid such a high price to found and to preserve. 
#6)   Walk in the truth.
        Again, truth is what God says it is. The first principle of walking in truth is to know what God has said about the matter and to obey this. We must not continue getting our worldview from humanistic philosophies such as political correctness, but rather on what God has clearly said. That being said, it is not enough to merely know the truth, or stand for it, if we ourselves are not walking in it.
       One of the greatest veils of deception on all people is rooted in the tendency to judge people or groups by their most extreme elements. Conservatives do this to liberals, and liberals do it to conservatives. Christians do this to the LGBT, and the LGBT does it to Christians. It is not right to do this, and is in itself a deception.
        As the Apostle Paul wrote that we should not judge anyone after the flesh (externals) but after the Spirit, and Martin Luther King, Jr. prayed that the day would come when we would no longer judge each other by the color of our skin, but the content of our character, this is a good time to practice it. It is the right thing to do regardless of whether the other side does it or not.
#7)   It is time for Christians to boycott.
         I would never advocate using tactics such as those found in Rules for Radicals because they are diabolical. The second reason I would not use them is that they are good for short-term success, but are almost always ultimately counter-productive. You can force someone to say what you want or do what you want, but it will never be in their heart if they are forced. In fact, they will hate being manipulated and pressured, and will rebel against it as soon as they get the chance.
        The truth has more dignity than to stoop to such tactics as those taught in Rules for Radicals. However, Christians have never really used one of our most powerful weapons—the power of the boycott. It is not unrighteous to stop buying from those who are supporting attacks on our faith and liberty. That is just wisdom. It is now time to use this.
         If even 10% of Americans who claim to be Christians boycotted any company or industry, the consequences would be immediate and dramatic. There would quickly be far more concern for this than anything other anti-Christian groups could ever hope to counter. Besides, we should be supporting those companies and businesses that share our values. 
        We will have much more to say on this later. For now, resolve that you will know the truth, stand for the truth, and link up with others who are doing the same. We would welcome any of you who are not already members of The Oak Initiative to join us, by visiting our website at http://www.theoakinitiative.org/partner-oak
        There is much more that can be and is being said on this ultimate battle for our country and our faith. As this battle continues to intensify, never forget I Corinthians 15:58:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Psalms 91 9- 16


9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”
What is my salvation you ask ? says the Lord.
Here it is ... When I walked the earth as the son of David and Son of GOD I was escaping the may plots that were assigned to me..
I was spared from so much UNTIL My Father said "It's time my son."..
I then gave up the Divine Protection  and went for you.... To the cross. My blood has touched the mercy seat and now I am asking you to remember the blood for the White house in America ..It's time to start decreeing,and  I will be with you. I want to hear you.
For where ever the blood is applied I am there as well..The Blood will never loose its Power... 

O Lord God I make an urgent  appeal to the Father.  I pray that you will help us in America stand strong and now bow to the evils set before us.
I receive the salvation of the LORD and make it my own. Divine Protection. BY THE BLOOD.
I know you will send help in times of trouble. I and I know you will give us direction. We need your Warriors Won Near us O Lord. 
I pray O Lord that you will find the people, you want and let it be me in the mix.
In Jesus name amen

Are We too Busy? by Judy Bauman


Yesterday, during the funeral service of a friend, one of the presiding pastors said something I have been pondering. He said that even though most of us have busy schedules, when we receive the news of the death of a loved one, we drop what we’re doing to come together, as we were doing.

This morning I was relating this to how we choose to spend time with God. We can be so busy that we forsake spending time with the One who loves us most until something terrible happens. So let me ask you something. Does it take a death in the family or a terrible report from a doctor before you really take time to talk to God? (This is when I used to talk to Him most, or should I say complain, blame, and rant. Yet through all of it, He loved me into His arms!)

Many times, once troubling times pass, we tend to forget to converse with our heavenly Father. God loves us and desires us to continue a dialog with Him! Wouldn’t we have greater wisdom in life’s decisions if we talked to God during good times as well as the bad? I have found it is so much easier to hear His “still small voice” if my emotions are not up in arms! Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to listen to others when you are upset? How much more difficult to hear what God is spiritually speaking to your heart if the only time you speak to him is when you are upset?

We are urged in Psalm 46:10 to “be still and know” that He is God. Jesus said He was going to send the Helper, the Holy Spirit and that He will lead us into all truth (see and John 16:7-14). The only way to receive the HELPER is to receive Jesus. How do we do that? Ask the Father in faith as He gives without reproach! He promises to help us in good times and bad. How many more good times we would have if we were continually seeking the Lord’s will for our lives?

I pray you won’t allow the busyness of life to keep you from the best God has for you. Please don’t wait to talk to Him. He truly knows what is best for you. Talk to Him – and then listen! You will know He loves you as you do. Amen!!!

In the Father’s love,


Judy A Bauman

SHOES OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE ~ Transcript of Audio by Christine Beadsworth



I am wanting to release these podcasts, not to present something really professional or entertaining in any way, but I am finding that as I am receiving things from the Lord, that I am not actually having time to properly document and write in a cohesive article. Yet I am wanting to share the information, so I am going to do a very unprofessional podcast, just record what I have journalled and I pray that it would be a blessing, that the Holy Spirit would further open things up to you as you meditate and research further into what I have spoken about, and look into the Word.

On 05.05.2015 as I was falling asleep, I don't know if any of you have ever had this, kind of a flash dream, very quick, almost just 2 little scenes, it took less than a minute to see it, and then I spent the rest of the night with the Lord unfolding what He was saying to me through the picture He showed me in that little flash dream.

What I saw was somebody needing to put on a pair of shoes and this person was trying to slide their feet into a French loaf, one of those long narrow breads that the French make.  It had been hollowed out and the ends cut off for the toes to stick through, and they were trying to put their foot into that load of bread but the bread broke over the top of the arch of the person's foot.  It was really kind of a strange thing to see.

Then the Lord said to me “It is time to put on the shoes of the gospel of peace but My people do not know how to put them on.”  I asked what the loaf of bread meant and He reminded me of the two men at Emmaus after Jesus' resurrection, and how their eyes were opened to see Him in the breaking of bread.

Just to back up a little bit, in the 2 days previous to this I had been doing a lot of research into CERN, the Large Hadron Collider that is built in Switzerland and what they are trying to do there.  I don't have time to go into it all now right now, concerning that, but there are a lot of videos on YouTube concerning the dangers of CERN and what they are trying to do in tearing the veil between the seen and the unseen realm and to access dark matter.  Even Steven Hawkings, the renowned atheist and physicist, has warned them that they may severely regret doing what they are doing, because it may cause the whole world as we know it to collapse.  He, of course, doesn't realize that the tearing of the veil is going to open the door to a lot of demonic activity being released into the natural and the visible realm on the earth.  (If you want to do background reading, read Revelation 9 where it says that an angel was given a key to open the bottomless pit and to release a huge number of locusts onto the earth).

Previously, when I had read this about the key, I had also kind of pictured a real key going into a keyhole but when I started researching CERN, I realized that a key can mean knowledge to open up something, and I really believe these scientists are being given knowledge by demonic beings who are wanting them to open the door to the bottomless pit, in order to release this huge number of demonic beings into the earth realm. So Revelation 9 is very pivotal at this moment.

So with that in mind, I saw this flash dream of the person trying to put the French loaves on their feet and God saying it is time to put on the shoes of the gospel of peace but My people do not know how to put them on.   He reminded me about the 2 men at Emmaus who had their eyes opened to see him in the breaking of bread.

The word Emmaus means ‘hot spring or hot, a day’ in Hebrew, so in essence, the town Emmaus is symbolic of the Day of the Lord, and the Lord's disciples having their eyes opened to see Him in the breaking of bread, and of course, in that account in Luke, as soon as their eyes were opened to see Him in the breaking of bread, they arose and went back to their brethren and shared what they had seen and heard.  So there is a great need for our eyes to be opened to see Him in the Day of the Lord.

When I asked why the bread had broken over their feet in my dream, the Lord said their feet were the wrong shape, their arches were too high, and they had  fashioned the bread shoes for themselves. In other words, out of the bread of the Word, they had made their own style of shoes, cut them to suit themselves and the Lord emphasised that this is really to do with pride, when we fashion things after our own imaginations and our own understanding, instead of walking in what God has provided.

The Lord said to me, that the shoes of the gospel of peace are closed shoes, shoes that are closed over the toes, and they are needed in these days because the enemy will try and reverse what has been done since Genesis 1, and he will operate in a counterfeit of Genesis 1, and instead of saying “Let there be light” he is wanting to release darkness in the form of dark matter through the rent veil.

When God said “Let there be light”  Genesis 1 tells us that He then separated the light from the darkness and before He spoke the words “Let there be light” there was darkness over the face of the deep. The enemy is wanting to return it to that state.  The enemy is not wanting the light and the darkness to be separated, he is wanting the veil between light and darkness that separates them to be torn so that darkness can invade where there is light, so that everything becomes dark to one extent or another.

God said “Let there be light” and there was light, and He saw it and it was good but when the enemy wants to release darkness, he is going to start calling darkness light, and he is going to start calling good evil, and evil good.  He is also wanting to remove the firmament separating the waters above and the waters below.  The waters above speak of heavenly revelation, the waters below speak of earthly or soulish, fleshly revelation and he is wanting to remove that firmament that is separating those two, so that people don't realize that the revelation they are receiving is from the demonic.

So let's go back to where God said there needs to be closed shoes, and the reason He said we need closed shoes in the days ahead is because the waters or the words being released from above in these days will be passing through the second heaven and contaminated by dark matter, and the waters from below will have filtered through the pit from which the locusts emerge and they will contain dangerous toxins, and only closed shoes will prevent one's feet from being contaminated, and will protect one's walk in the Lord.

Remember that the release of water is really the release of words; it's a type or shadow of words being released and it is very important because the church in these days is seeking for a Word from the Lord and seeking for direction and confirmation, and if the waters released seem to manifest as words of light but they are actually words of darkness, and if we walk in them and we follow them, we are going to find ourselves walking into very dangerous paths and into demonic traps.

So it is really important to heed this warning from the Lord, that the shoes of the gospel of peace are closed shoes, and those are the only shoes that His people need to walk in these days.  Don't fashion your own shoes from the Word to walk in, don't walk in pride and think that you know better than the Lord, and think that you are wise in your own eyes.

If you remember in Revelation 12 the dragon, satan and his angels are cast down to the earth, as there is no room for them found in heaven anymore, and then he releases a flood after the woman in the wilderness in order to destroy her, and that is a flood that comes out of his mouth, it is a flood of words, words that carry dark power, words that are poisonous.

So you don't want to drink in just any word that is being released in the earth in this season.  The only safe waters to drink in the coming days are going to be those flowing from within, where the throne of God is in our innermost being.  There are rivers of living water flowing from the throne of God.  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the Word says in Psalms, so that is the living water that you must drink.  Don't drink the waters coming from above or from below, or those which are flooding past.

The Lord also warned me that we need to keep the windows of our spiritual house closed, so that the rain from the second heaven doesn't come into our houses.  Do you remember that Jesus told the parable of building your house upon the rock?  Building your house on the rock is walking in the revelation of the Word but you need to receive the revelation of the Word from the river flowing from your innermost being, from the throne of God.  You are the house where God lives, and when the storms come and the rain falls, your house will stand but if you build your house on the sand of men's words, that sand will shift and move and will not be able to take your weight.

It is like when you walk on the beach and there is a lot of sand, the water has waterlogged the sand and you walk on it, you sink, it gives way.  Sometimes you sink right in up to your ankles, it is not a solid foundation to walk on, and the words of men in the coming days will be shifting sand, and so you cannot put your weight on them, you cannot build your house and your life on the words of men in the coming days.  You need to drink of the living water that flows from the throne of God in your innermost being.

You know what a closed circuit TV looks like; it has little screens that look at all the different rooms in your house to see what is going on in there, to see that no thief is breaking in or anything like that, and the Word says that we need to watch our house to see that the thief does not come in and steal.  This is speaking about guarding your heart.  Don't look out to what the world is saying and doing.  There are going to be poisonous waters released in the days ahead, and if you walk in the way of those words, those poisonous waters will soak into your feet and poison your walk.

If you think of soldiers in the past wars who tramped in wet boots where the water had leaked in, their feet rotted and their feet got diseased, and you don't want to do that in the coming days.  The shoes of the gospel of peace are watertight and they will protect your walk if you walk in what God has given you to walk in.

The gospel of truth and the gospel of peace is a closed circuit.  It is not open-ended.  If you have a look at the Word of God in Genesis 1, I want to ask you who introduced the first question mark in the Word of God?  In Genesis 1 we read “and God said let there be light and there was light and God saw it and He said it was good.”  You carry on reading all the way through Genesis 1, everything ends with a full stop, until you get to the place where the serpent said to Eve “Did God say?”.  God never intended his gospel to be a gospel with question marks.  God spoke and it was as He said.

Men have made open-ended shoes, questioning God's words, walking in those shoes with question marks, open-ended, and that often is their downfall.  It is satan who whispers to us “Did God say?” and God didn't intend it to be like that.  He wanted us to put our full weight on His words and understand if God said it, that settled it, and we had to walk in obedience to His commandments and not question everything.

If God says not to do something,w e need to obey, not alter the sentence to suit our taste in shoes.Unfortunately men have fashioned their own shoes, like those French loaves with the open toes, and you cannot walk in those kind of shoes in these days.

The Lord also said to me that His people want power to walk on water in these days but that these days that we are walking in are not the days for walking on water.  These are the days for passing through waters, and not being drowned, for going through fire and not being burned, for God giving men in exchange for us as, is mentioned in Isaiah 43.

So we mustn't seek for words that seem to carry power within them, to do outlandish things, because there will be a man who comes who does counterfeit signs and wonders.  If we will walk in the shoes of the gospel of peace that God has provided for us, the gospel of Shalom, then our feet and our walk will be protected in the days that are ahead.

The other thing that the Lord said to me is to be very careful what you watch.  Your eyes and your ears are gates to your inner being and there are going to be things released in the media, things released on the airwaves in the coming days that are going to be part of that flood that the dragon is releasing.  As CERN does its thing and the more there is demonic activity in the natural realm, the more there are going to be dark words and words that will bring darkness to your innermost being if you allow them in.  Be very careful what you watch.  Keep in the Word, be a Psalm 1 person whose delight and desire is in the Law of the Lord and you meditate on His Law day and night.

You need to walk in His will and be obedient and lay all your question marks at his feet, because if you hold on to question marks they become clothes hooks for the enemy to hang his garments on.  The garments he is hanging on those clothes hooks are not robes of righteousness. They will cause you to walk in the paths that the angels of light want you to walk in, wayward paths - like Eve, the enemy wants you to walk out of the garden of His presence.

So you have to come to a place where if God said it, that settles it.  Walk in it, believe it, be obedient to it.  A highway of holiness is high and raised, and we need to ask God to send forth His light and truth and lead us to His holy hill - not any old hill, His holy hill.

I just wanted to share that with you and I would recommend that you look into the information that is being released about CERN.  I would recommend that you meditate on that dream that I had of the French loaves being fashioned into shoes to wear that would break.  We want to be those like the men at Emmaus whose eyes were opened to see Jesus in the breaking of bread, and we need to eat the bread that Jesus has broken for us.

If we will go before Him and ask Him to break bread with us, and drink of the living water that flows from the Spirit of God, and just walk in what he shows us, simply, obediently, wholeheartedly, our walk will be protected.  Don't look for high and mighty revelation and amazing powerful demonstrations.  You might find yourself walking off the path and the highway of holiness in the coming days.

THE ENEMY MAY BE SHOUTING “GIVE UP”, BUT THE LORD IS SHOUTING “COME UP” by Lana Vawser

Many have been feeling the "unsettling" in the atmosphere the past few days. The feeling to "withdraw" and "give up" overwhelming.

I heard the Lord say "The enemy may be shouting "GIVE UP" but I am shouting "COME UP".
New levels of encounter, revelation, opportunity and breakthrough are before many of the people of God, ESPECIALLY those on the frontlines.
You may feel like you are being pulled backwards and feel like throwing in the towel, but you are crossing over. You are actually BREAKING THROUGH!!!!!
Higher you go!
"Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know." – Jeremiah 33:3

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS


I sensed something ominous in the atmosphere.  It was like forces of darkness gathering for an assault.  I saw clouds gathering above--high up in the atmosphere, and the clouds became one swirling mass like the beginning of a funnel cloud forming, but not yet touching down.  I could feel the presence of God as if He was brooding over His people--calling us to a place of safety in Him.  There was a pleading--almost urgently--for us to be ready and stay ready. 

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

The Lord Said That This Would Be: "A Year of Divine Reversals!" by Jane Hamon

This word was previously posted on the Elijah List on January 13, 2015:
Happy New Year 2015! What an exciting time to be alive! As I have listened to the Lord these past weeks about what is ahead for the Church and how to position ourselves with His prophetic promises, I feel I have heard so many interesting things to share. I can just tell you this – it's going to be an incredible time of shifting, fulfillment, victory and turnaround for us all!
15 is a Biblical number tied to celebration and rest after a victory or harvest. The Feasts of Tabernacles, Unleavened Bread and Purim, all happen on the fifteenth day of the month. It is the Hebraic calendar year 5775 which is a double portion number... a double portion of grace and favor to see fulfillment, completion and finishing!
The Great Turn Around!
One of the main Scriptures for this turn around year of double portion deliverance and victory is found in Esther 9. We know of the decree of death and destruction released by Haman against the Jews authorizing the people of the land to kill them and take their possessions on the 13th day of the 12th month of Adar. But Esther wrote a new decree, in the king's name and sealed it with the king's ring, that the Jews had a right to defend themselves and kill those who were trying to kill them.(Photo "For Such a Time as This" by Donna Smallenberg via elijahshopper.com)
This carried over into the 14th day when they finished destroying those against them. On the 15th day they had a feast, a celebration of joy, that God had delivered them from their oppressors. This is that day! It was a time of turn around! The turn started in the 13th year, continued through 2014 and we will see great fulfillment in 2015! Some need to write a new decree over your life for the upcoming season of time. God is mobilizing angels to see the things we decree come to pass!
2015 A Year of Divine Reversals!
I heard the Lord say that this would be "A Year of Divine Reversals." As a matter of fact, in Esther 9:1 when it speaks of the decree of Haman it says of that day "that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, though it was turned to the contrary that the Jews had rule over them that hated them."
I was surprised to find that the word "turned" in this verse is the Hebrew word haphak is the Strong's number 2015!! It means to overturn, to change, to overthrow, to turn around, to transform, to be reversed! This will be a year of Divine Reversal!
As a matter of fact, I heard the Lord say this would be a Boomerang Year! As we know, a boomerang gets thrown out and then returns to the one that threw it. God is going to cause every curse and every assignment from Hell to be turned right back upon the head of our spiritual enemy!Haman built gallows to hang the Jews, but he ended up being hanged on his own gallows! It wasn't only Haman who was destroyed, but also his 10 sons so they couldn't come back again to retaliate! (Photo via Wikipedia)
God is boomeranging the curses of Hell right back on the enemy. In the Message translation Esther 9:25 reads "But when Queen Esther intervened with the king, he gave written orders that the evil scheme that Haman had worked out should boomerang back on his own head!"
God is turning the curse to a blessing for us, because He loves us! (Deuteronomy 23:5). God is also bringing divine reversals in situations that experienced a downturn. He is bringing a reversal of fortunes, a reversal out of death into life, a reversal out of sickness and pain into healing and wholeness.
Marriages on the verge of divorce can experience divine reversal and a renewal of love and hope for the future. Even in the United States of America, God has determined to bring some significant divine reversals back to a place of righteousness and justice.
So get ready for your divine reversals! Make a list to see what needs to be reversed and returned to you. 2015 will be your turn around year!

Time of the End by Glynda Linkous


It is a time of  sadness in the earth as this age is ending, and a new age of fiery trials has begun. You see the wicked rejoice around you, but do not envy them, My children, for their end is sure. Their end is destruction unless they turn from their wicked ways.

Prepare ye now for the glory of My Kingdom. No longer shall you read of what is to come, you shall see it happen around you.

The time of the end is at hand for all scripture to be fulfilled.

Matthew 24:7-9

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Isaiah 13:6-8

6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

Proverbs 23:17  Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

Psalm 37:1  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Psalm 37:1, 9-20

1  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
