2 Words by Bill and Marsha Burns

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS:

What I sense now is that the Lord is stepping forward. Stepping closer to you than He has been before. Stepping forth in anticipation of your faith, of your thanksgiving so that He can give to you in this season that which you most need, that which you desire. And, there will also be even those gifts from God in this season that will be complete surprises. They will bring joy and love and a heart full of gratitude for that which God has done for you and will continue to do with you all the days of your life. So, don’t miss the opportunities that He is extending in this season. He’s coming very close. His presence is coming to allow each of you to know that He is with you and He’s for you and He has blessings in this season—some that you are not even aware of. So, only believe and position yourself by faith to receive the presence of the Holy One in this time and in this season. 

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

I have created you to be creative.  Watch for extraordinary opportunities to create in ways that are out-of-the-box or beyond your normal concept of creativity.  Let Me expand your awareness to see and enjoy doing things that you have not considered until now, says the Lord.  2 Thessalonians 1:12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

It's Bath-Time For Everyone by Lonnie Mackley

The Body of Christ is going through a worldwide washing by the Holy Spirit right now where people will have to choose to either get in and get clean, or stay out and pay the price. But either way, it's bath-time for everyone because Jesus Christ is about to return for a Bride that is pure and holy and ready to meet Him at a moments notice. Now you may feel anything but clean and ready right now since the Lord has been exposing the very areas that need to get cleansed, but rest assured if you will fully cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit He will make sure that you can overcome all sin as you receive deeper revelations from Him in order to scrub out even the most stubborn of stains.

REV 7:14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

There will be no avoiding this corporate washing process so it’s best to just jump in the tub and let God do the work that only He can do. To avoid this work can result in very serious consequences because we have come to a time of separation in the kingdom between all those who will serve the Lord wholeheartedly, and those who will stubbornly cling to the world and to the idols they have felt secure with. But what will happen if we thumb our noses up at God is that more and more severe cleansing judgments and tormentors will come in order to get us back on track; or even worse, we could feel the Lord’s presence dissipate from us and be left shipwrecked and spiritually floundering.

REV 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

The bible talks about a great falling away in the last days, and much of this will be because of the great wickedness and persecution that abounds in the land, but some of it may also be the result of people who dig their heels in when God is trying to help them to come away from all that has kept them from serving Him completely in the past. We must be clean and ready for this final harvest, the great tribulation, and most importantly, meeting our Bridegroom Jesus when He returns. So I want to encourage you today to fall upon the rock Jesus now instead of waiting for the rock to fall on you. No one will escape this cleansing; so strip down, jump on in, and remember to get behind the ears.

REV 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

How and Why I must Build MY Church by Jim Hammerle

 I AM building My church so the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.  The strength of My church is in it’s purity.  Any impurity in a thing, is it’s weak point.  I do not reign as Lord over impurity.

Whatever is impure in your life, prevents Me from being Lord.  Impurity is anything that My Spirit has made known to you, that Father wants removed.  You are not responsible for anything My Spirit has not made known to you. “When known sin overtakes you it will cause all manner of immorality to occur.  But without light your sin is dead. [9] You are alive as long as My light has not shined on your impurity.  Because you are without the light on an impurity, My grace covers you: but when the light comes, the sin revives, and the impurity will begin to work death you, until you let Me purge it,” Romans 7:8-9.  The purging process is not pleasant and therefore most will quickly stop following Me.

The first part of My construction project is to purge out all impurities.  First I start with the whole church body, outwardly pruning and purging the people that bear no fruit, separating them from the fruit bearing people.  Non-fruit bearing people are usually stuck on their personal agendas, or making excuses and justifying their sin.

Then I inwardly begin to purge and prune those that are bearing fruit.  This is more difficult, especially when they discover that, “He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me,” Matthew 10:37.

It’s a painful pruning when you find out that anyone who values their career over My plan, is not worthy of Me, Luke 14:18-19, and anyone who puts their marriage before Me, is not worthy of Me, Luke 14:20. “For I say unto you, That none of these that retreated from the purging shall taste of My supper,” Luke 14:24.

It’s because of these impurities, that these lukewarm believers will never have the power to prevail against the gates of hell.  “That’s why I speak to them in parables: because seeing, they see not; and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand,”Matthew 13:13.  Any who have not surrendered to do the, “will of My Father, will not enter into the kingdom of heaven; only he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven,” Matthew 7:21.

Because the purging process is so painful, ultimately ending in death to self, while coming alive unto My Father, many will retreat, Romans 6:11-13.  Consequently they will not be able to enter into the fulness of His glory on earth or reach the throne room in heaven.

Much to the disappointment of most western church goers, I AM not an all inclusive God!  Most preachers in the west have twisted My sayings, to mean something I did not say.  Yes, I said whosoever will may come, but never on your terms.  Actually I said, “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34.

As I build My church with only pure hearts, you will begin to see Me and increase in power by cooperating faster, Matthew 5:8.  As I knit hearts together according to My Fathers plan, they will create pockets of power, that evolve into an open heaven over certain areas on earth.  These pockets of power are the beginning of My Fathers kingdom coming to earth.  As My Father adds more and more with pure hearts His Glory and power will slowly but surly cover the earth.

To the degree you allow Me to purge you, it is to that degree you will experience My Father’s glory.

Some of you are saved, but you have never allowed My purging, making you a vessel to dishonor in My house.  “In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. [21]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work,”  2 Timothy 2:20-21.

If you live an un-purged life, the best you will produce is wood, hay and stubble.  Yes, you may be saved from hell, but your eternity will be spent just inside the gate, because your reward was burned up.

“If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; but only because the fire cannot burn his blood bought soul,” 1 Corinthians 3:15.

Please trust Me when I say, ” the sufferings of the purging time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in you,”  Romans 8:18.

A word to the wise is sufficient by Jim Hammerle

 A word to the wise is sufficient.  God is leading many into the new wine, gathering together those who want nothing but His presence both to grow and be led into new realms.

However, may I suggest God has a bigger plan and that is preservation.  I believe He wants to preserve His church to the final day so there are those who will be caught up.  He is establishing home groups as part of this new wine and His preservation plan.  Home groups are popping up all over, but I believe making a big mistake by announcing themselves, what they believe, where they meet, and who leads and attends.

God has given us His perfect example of how home groups must remain low key and below the radar.  

Christians in China hold the key to preservation and the true growth of His church.  Some three hundred million believers meet in homes and there are no names or addresses advertised.

If God wants people in a home group, I promise they will end up there without Facebook and billboards.  When you announce to the enemy, here we are, someday he is going to come and get you.

The new wine is God himself, building His kingdom, not man or a group advertising and building his own competitive kingdom.  Every home group should make this one of their mottos, John 6:44,

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

If you don’t learn to keep your head down, some day the enemy will blow it off.  This is my opinion, but I believe I have the mind of the Lord on this matter.

The Coming Darkness by Glynda Linkous

A period of deep, intense darkness is coming in the future for My People. This darkness will be a time when the enemy is triumphing, though only for a while. Some of you may think I have forgotten you, or forsaken My Promises, though I would never do either.

Remember, My Little Ones, that all scriptures must be fulfilled before the end.

No matter what you see or hear around you, do not ever believe the enemy’s lies that I have forsaken you or that I do not care, for I have already proven My Love for you, and I will never forsake you.

These are the times when your faith shall be sorely tried, and you must know Me well to know I will never leave you. And though the enemy triumph for  short while, it will not always be so, for he is defeated already, and you will indeed see his total defeat in the end. And those who persecute My Righteous Ones shall be judged in the end as well.

Do not fear, My Children. Do not lose hope and never let go of your faith in Me, for by it you shall be saved. Rejoice! Your eternal home is here with Me!

In March of 2008, the Lord gave me a vision of coming darkness. The vision can be found here:

http://wingsofprophecy.blogspot.com/2011/08/vision-of-blanket-of-darkness.html

Isaiah 60:2  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Psalm 91:5-6 

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Hebrews 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Matthew 26:54  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Matthew 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 Peter 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Revelation 2:10  Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Revelation 13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

1 Thessalonians 2:15-16

15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Isaiah 41:10  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Bobby Conner: Words Of Light And Wisdom For A Darken World Seekers Will Be Finders! And Finders Will Be Sought!

In a prophetic vision, I am watching world events unfolding on a gigantic television screen. This screen was enormous much like what is in the Dallas Cowboys football stadium. Suddenly, there was an enormous, flash of bright light. I was shown a news flash and a Divine Messenger stated, "We interrupt this broadcast for this special news bulletin.  “Seekers Will Be Finders! And Finders Will Be Sought!'" In the realm of the Spirit there was great excitement at this announcement. 

This is the most exciting time in world history to be alive! The entire world seems to be in chaos and confusion, and desperately they are seeking answers. This will prove to be the Church's finest hour; the Lord will release the much-needed wisdom as we seek HIM. The world will beat a path to our door seeking the Light.

Without a doubt, we find ourselves living in an extremely significant season, critical days, that demand our very best (see Romans 13:11-14). It is time to arise and shine (see Isaiah 60:1-8). Some things have been reserved for these end times; it's our honor as kings to search them out (see Proverbs 25:2). 

We Are On Divine AssignmentGod could have permitted any generation in history to be alive during these decisive days, however, He chose us! We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to be alive. We are on Divine Assignment! Signs of the end times are unfolding about us daily (seeMatthew 24). Prepare to behold the intervention of God (see Isaiah 64:1-2)! Now is the time to seek the Lord with all your heart! 

Jeremiah 29:12-13 AMP: Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 

In our day of secular skepticism, it is sad to see many today asking the same question posed in 2 Kings 3:11 AMP: "But Jehoshaphat said, 'Is there no prophet of the Lord here by whom we may inquire of the Lord?' One of the king of Israel's servants answered, 'Elisha son of Shaphat, who served Elijah, is here.'"

"Is there not a prophet in the land that we may inquire of him?" Many are posing the same question today! The answer is a resounding, yes! The true prophets of God must arise and take their place. Sounding a true and trusted trumpet call, awakening the warriors, and calling for the army of God to arise (see Joel 2:1-3).

Words of Wisdom

God will so anoint your words that they will become as apples of gold in settings of silver (see Proverbs 25:11). Your words will be extremely helpful and healing (see Proverbs 12:18).  God’s word promises that our wise words can win us great favor (seeEcclesiastes 10:12). 

It is time to receive the tongue of a taught one, knowing how to reply to desperate people seeking guidance and advice (see Isaiah 50:4).

1 Chronicles 16:11: Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

May our heart's response be that recorded in Psalm 27:8 AMP, which states: "You have said, 'Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need].' My heart says to You, 'Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity...]'"

A Preview of Coming Events:
 The Visit of the Queen of Sheba

1 Kings 10:1-10: The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, and she traveled to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions. She brought with her a large group of attendants, as well as camels loaded with spices, jewels, and a large amount of gold. When she and Solomon met, she asked him all the questions that she could think of. He answered them all; there was nothing too difficult for him to explain.

The queen of Sheba heard Solomon's wisdom and saw the palace he had built. She saw the food that was served at his table, the living quarters for his officials, the organization of his palace staff and the uniforms they wore, the servants who waited on him at feasts, and the sacrifices he offered in the Temple. It left her breathless and amazed.

She said to King Solomon, "What I heard in my own country about you and your wisdom is true! But I couldn't believe it until I had come and seen it all for myself. But I didn't hear even half of it; your wisdom and wealth are much greater than what I was told. How fortunate are your wives! And how fortunate your servants, who are always in your presence and are privileged to hear your wise sayings!

"Praise the LORD your God! He has shown how pleased He is with you by making you king of Israel. Because His love for Israel is eternal, He has made you their king so that you can maintain law and justice."

She presented to King Solomon the gifts she had brought: almost five tons of gold and a very large amount of spices and jewels. The amount of spices she gave him was by far the greatest that he ever received at any time.

This is about to occur again! Desperation will drive leaders to seek for guidance and direction.  Political leaders from around the world will be coming to the true Church seeking wisdom and advice; we, too, must have the Word of the Lord that will leave them breathless and amazed. We are to be a city set high on a hill giving light (see Matthew 5:14).

Now is the time to draw near to the Lord, surrendering to HIM every area of our lives. These are the days of great conquest; we are called to be brave, bold, victorious overcomers in every way, every day.

A Love Poem from the Bridegroom by Christine Beadsworth

Psalm 45 says 'my tongue is the pen of a ready writer' and if we will listen carefully, our Beloved is always penning love letters to His Bride.This one I heard in Nov 2013 touched my heart afresh this morning: My love shelters, My love leads My love strengthens, My love feeds My love carries, My love woos My love calls you, What will you choose? The hustle and bustle of markets and malls? the pastimes that thrill you, the pleasures that call? Or will you follow wherever I lead, outside the city where souls are in need? Will you share My dishonor and shun men’s' acclaim? Will you live for My glory and lift up My name? Will you follow the path that is scattered with thorns where the voice of man mocks you, where sin's weight is borne? For the Love that is calling is Love sent to die, Who, for love of the lost, gladly was crucified, will you drink of the cup that was poured out through Me? Will you lay down your life, filled with joy, willingly? I wait for your words of surrender, “I will” and two become one as My Word is fulfilled! The day of My gladness of heart has now come! the Father has found one well fit for the Son, Unveiling her born from the cleft in My side, I say to the world, “Behold now My Bride!”                      -----o------ Christine freshoil@polka.co.za

The OverComers Anointing by Keith L. Miller

Walking in the strength of the Holy Spirit is an incredible thing! It's a place where we live as overcomers not as those who are overcome. It’s where we operate in supernatural ability, not in the natural. And it’s the place where the enemy has no place!

As we grow and walk in the knowledge and revelation of God's strength and fullness our ability to walking in the realm of authority increases. Then the strength and might of God isn't just upon, but also in us.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened [kratos] with might [dunamis] through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen (Ephesians 3:14-21).

Live in the Place of "I Can Do"

Imagine waking every morning with the confidence that God's strength is in you. Imagine that you would be able to do all things through Christ who gives you strength (Phil. 4:13). And, this strength in you is according to His wealth, according to the riches of His glory, according to who He is! "All" means everything. It means everything that He has purposed for you. It’s above and beyond what you can think or imagine and it’s according to the greatness of His power that works within us so that Christ Jesus may receive ALL of the glory in the Church and [JM1] all glory for the ages to come.

We're living in a time where God is doing and will do, exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we can ask or think, and He wants to do these things through us! His thoughts are far above ours. In fact, His thoughts and ways are so high that He wants to blow the lid off limitation in our life and release us into an entirely different and higher level of destiny in Him. God wants you to believe for your family, your neighborhood, your city and your nation! By the power of the Holy Spirit and His incredible fullness, you can think big!

An Abundance of God's Wealth

According to Paul, God bestows to us strength and power according to the riches of His glory (Eph. 3:16). His glory is abundant, it's bountiful and it's endless. We can never ask for too much strength and power because it's available to us in the same measure as He is glorious – it’s abundant and unfathomable! His abundance is the weightiness of who He is, His character, His nature, His strength and His power. He gives, imparts and bestows that in us, His beloved children. We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny or calling until we know the strength of God, and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. This strength comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit.

His Strength

The word Paul used for "strengthened" in Ephesians chapter three comes from the Greek root word kratos[i]for "power," and in biblical context means:dominion, strength and manifested power. God wants us to live by the strength of who He is in our inner man. Kratos especially signifies "exerted (applied) strength, power shown effectively in a reigning authority." More specifically, it primarily refers to God's kingdom authority, dominion, and majesty through the outward manifestation of His power. Kratos is used in God's dominion context also in Paul's letter to Timothy (I Tim. 6:13-16b).

Kingdom Dominion in Your Inner Man

The world, or natural realm, will no longer rule your life if you are being strengthened by kratos, that is, being strengthened by kingdom dominion in your inner man. Kratos applied gives you the strength to do what you couldn't do before Jesus came into your life. God's kingdom authority, dominion and majesty should reign in every believers’ inner man, for we must walk steadfast in the things of the Lord. We cannot waver if we want to ascend to the incredible levels that God wants to release right now.

When kratos dominates your inner man the enemy's lies won't hurt you; they won’t invade your thought process or hinder you. Jesus gave me a wonderful revelation about kratos. When the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews came for Him in the garden and asked for Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus answered, "I AM He." Such was His strength and His confidence that "they drew back and fell to the ground" (John 18:4-8). That, my friends, was Kratos in action -- the manifestation of kingdom dominion!

Paul prayed for us to be strengthened (kratos) with "might." This word in the Greek is dunamis (from which we derive words like dynamic, dynamo and dynamite) which signifies the inherent power of God. The Lord showed me a vision of dunamis. It was like swallowing a Holy Ghost hand-grenade which exploded in our inner man. Wow. God bestowed this power according to what? According to the unlimited riches of His glory! This dynamite explosive power reigns and rules by the strength of the Holy Spirit in our inner man. This is what He granted to us! It's ours. We can stand firm, hallelujah.

How to Live by the Strength of Who He Is

Listed below are five ways we can learn to live by His strength within us:

1. Become deeply rooted

We're encouraged to be strong in the Lord and His kratos power (Eph. 6:10). Read the Word and discover the fullness of this strength, power and love for you. Develop intimacy and friendship with the Lord by spending time in the secret place of His presence. Seek and come to know Him more than you have before. Those who abide in Jesus will know the anointing and will flow in it (John 15). When your roots grow deep you'll flourish (Ps. 92:13) and the Spirit of the Lord will be upon you in strength!

2. Acquaint yourself with what God would have you do, pray for wisdom

Paul prayed that the saints at Colossae might be fully acquainted with what God would have them do in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Col. 1:9-10). He offered a similar prayer on behalf of the Ephesians (Eph. 1:17-19). Wisdom and spiritual understanding awaken you to the reality of God's strength and power in you, working through you and flowing from you.

3. Plug into fresh oil daily

"But my horn you have exalted like a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil" (Ps. 92:10). To be exalted as a wild ox is to be strengthened. Oxen are strong and powerful. It takes a lot to knock an ox down. Fresh oil releases the strength of the Lord in the inner man.

It is only by His Spirit (Zech. 4:6) that you are able to accomplish the mighty and impossible and take pleasure in infirmities, in reproach, in persecution and in distress for Christ's sake. For when you are weak, then you are strong (2 Cor. 12:10). So become as strong as an ox by tapping into the precious oil of the Spirit every day.

4. Trust in the Lord

We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny until we know and trust God’s strength and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. This strength only comes by the power of the Holy Spirit. David trusted God even though he was hunted and persecuted by King Saul. He said he wasn't plucked up or destroyed, but flourished like a green olive tree in the house of the Lord (Ps. 52:8).

5. Rejoice for Christ and His Mighty Strength in You

Rejoice that you can rule and reign in this life with boldness, confidence, strength, zeal and vigor. When Christ, your High Priest, goes before you, you can walk in the fullness of your inheritance. You can walk in every manifestation of power available to you, including kratos power. Rejoice around the throne and sing a new song of victory, for Christ in you and His mighty strength in your inner man! "Blessing and honor and glory and power [kratos] be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever, and ever" (Rev. 5:13b)!

One day I was in my car at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green. The traffic was heavy and there were several cars in front of me also waiting to go. When the signal light turned green I looked ahead to see why the cars in front of me were not moving. I noticed that the first car at the front of the line was holding everyone else up. This delay was causing some of the people in front of me to become impatient and agitated, and then something caught my attention. I noticed how each car had to move in sequence one car at a time in order for the traffic to start flowing. The second car couldn't move until the first one moved, the third car couldn't go anywhere until the first and the second car moved and so forth. 

The Holy Spirit spoke to me in that moment and said, this is why the body of Christ is not advancing as they should. There are leaders who are not moving forward as they are supposed to, and they are holding everyone else up who are following them. Many Christians are lagging behind, because they are waiting for others to move. The fivefold ministry as well as the leaders have to make the first move in order for the others to flow freely. There are many Christians who are spiritually hungry and are not being fed properly because they are waiting on the leaders to make a move. 

The Lord says, I am calling the ministers and leaders to rise up to the position that they were called to. There are multitudes that are in the valley of decision, confusion and fear, and they are looking for someone to lead, direct and advise them. I am calling those in the front lines of ministry to shake off the lethargy and rise up to where I have called them to be. I am calling on the five fold ministry to walk in the callings that I have placed on their lives. 

I will instruct them and give them the knowledge, wisdom and revelation that they need in their season. I am also raising up new leaders from among you to train and minister to the lost sheep. I am calling men and women of righteousness to equip and lead groups in wholesome living. As you inquire of Me, I will give you the words to speak and show you how to lead. I am calling My people to walk in integrity as everything produces after its kind says the Lord. 

Luke 6:39-40 And He spoke a parable to them: "Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

Ephesians 4:11-12 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

Hebrews 12:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Knock Knock... by Lonnie Mackley

For many people, they have not felt the tangible presence of God for a very long time, but I want to encourage you with something; the spiritual atmosphere is beginning to change now, and you may have more of God’s presence than you know what to do with very soon. You see, while we were in the wilderness and more recently transition, sometimes God will pull back His presence in order to cause us to want to draw closer to Him and seek Him more deeply. If you have ever fasted then you know what it is like to hunger for food, so God is just helping us to hunger for Him. So even though it may have felt like God has given up on you and gone on vacation, this is simply not the case. God has always been there; He has just been drawing us closer to His fullness, through our emptiness.

JN 12: 24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

The Lord has allowed all of these trials and tormentors to come in order to knock enough flesh out of us so that His Spirit can take over and manifest His presence to us, and through us. It’s been a very painful and difficult time of accelerated sanctification as the very last dregs of our old man are finally killed off, but in the end we become a clean and empty vessel ready to receive the fullness of His goodness so that all those around us can experience His love and power in order to be saved and know Him in this final hour. Think about how much you have changed over the last while, you are no longer the old you that you used to be. Now you are more loving, kind, and genuine than you have even been before. The “old flesh you” has been dying, so that the “new Spirit you” could live.

HEB 11:.6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Here are a few things that you can do in order to help to promote God’s presence in your life right now. Firstly, cease to practice sin and get rid of your idols. You cannot serve God and idols at the same time. Secondly, forgive people from your heart and pray for God to bless them. Thirdly, pray and worship in the Spirit as much as possible whether you feel like it or not, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. The Lord wants you to experience more of Him and to become one with Him; He wants to reveal more of Himself and the kingdom to you. Get your faith back and know that the Lord loves you and wants you to have more of Him. The bible promises that God rewards those who diligently seek Him, so believe what He said. Jesus is knocking right now, so step out in faith and let Him in!

REV 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

The Separators are coming by Jim Hammerle

You have heard much about the coming separation of sheep and goats, and this separation will be preformed by Me personally as king of kings.  The separation will be based on compassion vs selfishness.

The compassionate sheep will be feeding, clothing, and visiting those in need.  The selfish goats will be easy to spot because everything is about them and because of that fact, they stand alone, Matthew 25:32-33.

You may have heard about the lukewarm separation where many will be spewed out of My mouth,  Revelation 3:15-17.  This is also personal with Me because these have done more damage to the baby Christians and children than any demon has ever done.  Their double mindedness make them unstable in all they do, which turns little ones off and they are stumbled.

I will spit them out but My Father says, “whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea,“  Matthew 18:6.

Then there is the religious celebrity separation, where many of the well known preachers will say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?  and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I separate them, and say, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:22-23.

However the toughest separation will not be accomplished by Me, because the Angels have been assigned to this task.  It’s tough because they will separate real believers from the phonies.  The phonies are very well hidden because they have grown up together and dress and act and look the same as the true believer.

The innocent believer did not realize that while he slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.  [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?  from whence then hath it tares?  [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.  The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?  [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.  [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

The separation is beginning because of those who desperately want and seek My presence before anything else.  My presence, frightens the phony, and and irritates those having a personal agenda.  They either begin to react in bizarre ways, to avoid discovery or work against the flow of My Spirit to promote themselves.  The silence needed while waiting for Me to establish My agenda causes an anxiousness and irresistible desire to make noise and move on with a program.

Unless man learns to be still, he will never know that I AM God and that I AM the only one that has the kingdom program.  It’s a program that changes the hearts of men, and is not designed for entertainment.  However at the end every hungry person will be filled and will be glad and say, “a day in thy courts is better than a thousand where man is in control. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of selfish and the wickedness of self promoting man,”   Psalm 84:10.
