Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
Acts 3:20 "and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,
Acts 3:21 "whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 3:22 "For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.
Acts 3:23 'And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
There are many lacks in the world. The greatest may be the lack of love. To the folks there in Acts 3, God commanded repentance. He also said this time of ignorance He winked at, but now commands men everywhere to repent. To the church at Laodocia, God commanded repentance.
It is our move!

Call it Forth
Jer 33:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
The Lord has promised to show many great things to those who call upon Him. Like Jeremiah, many of the Lord's prophets have been shut up in a prison. It is time to call upon Him for the day of deliverance is at hand.
In our area of the country, we have experienced colder temperatures then usual and lots of rain. I noticed the other day that many of the farmers had not yet planted their crops.
The national chain stores which sell and supply seed put their seed away according to a mapped out schedule as to the norm in our area. The thing is that things are running late in sowing.
Against that back drop I have noticed that the fruit trees are full of blooms and small fruit. It would promise to be a banner year. This is not a normal year.
The Lord is saying, that our planting is behind what most would think should be, but First, He is going to bring forth great fruit before the end of the year. He will bring it from that which we did not have to sow this year, but from what was put in His hands long ago.
Watch and see if you do not receive a blessing from a source of ministry that has not been on the forefront, in your recent life, but has long been a part of your life.
Secondly, we will have a harvest from that which we have sown this year.
Your part is to call it to be...watch and pray...Call on He who is faithful.
Hsa 6:3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.
Joe 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].
Last evening we had mighty storms in Indiana. He is coming quickly and as a storm.

Setting Our Minds on Him
We must have the mind of Christ. This is not something that happens automatically for most of us. We obtain his mind through embracing the written Word and the Holy Spirit in our life.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 8:5-7 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
There is a conscious decision that we must make to set our minds on the things of the Spirit. Our efforts to conform to the image of our living savior will be useless unless we are aided by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is known clearly by His word. Our minds are transformed as we read, yield, and embrace his word in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is "setting" our minds on Him. Transformation into the next dimension is for they who live according to the Spirit.

Believe
Though we have waited long for the deliverance of the Lord, we have not seen it.
We must believe against all the evil that has prevailed that the Lord will be true to His word of deliverance.

The Time is Now to Proclaim your Worship!
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Has the Lord brought you beyond the arena of busy churchanity? Then you must trust that He will bring you into your kingdom purpose as well. You may not see much in this time of transition. You may see less, the closer the day of power comes.
Your worship is still needed. I think of the tabernacle in the wilderness. How the incense burned outside of the most holy place. The fragrance of it must have stirred the heart of the Father as it passed through the flapping vale. Worship unto the stirring.
There is a moment in time when your worship stirs the Father. You do not choose it, but as you worship on a consistent basis, it finds its way to the Father. The vale is rent.
The time has come for consistent worship to be rewarded with power and provision. Now is the time. You worshipped because he is worthy. But you can't out give Him.
In the garden, Adam and Eve were given a place to worship their Lord. They lost it. True worship is always contested. But the Lord gave them a pattern of worship so worship might continue, as He killed the offerings for their covering. In the wilderness the children had a place called a tabernacle to worship their Lord. They were given instruction on how to approach the Lord. They fell into the trap of worshipping a golden calf. In the next generation they would take the promised land.
But for forty years they would wonder because of false worship. Yet God's provision was sufficent even in thier rebellion.
Later David set up a tent in Jerusalem on Mt. Zion to worship his Lord. Under David, worship moved from Shiloh to Jerusalem. Worship moved from staid performance to heart felt power. David revolutionized worship. Later Solomon built a grand temple of worship. The Spirit so fell at its inception that they could not stand. Yet Solomon's heart was turned from his God.
Your place of worship is important to the Father. Your method of worship is important too. How you carry the ark is as important as the fact that you are carrying it. They who worship must worship in spirit and in truth. A pure heart, that's what He desires.
Kingdom Prophet, your worship in the spirit of David has found its way to the Father's heart. It is about to move you into a new dimension and location.
It is the Now time for promise, to become the day of promiseland living. Father is bringing forth the ministry of the saints. The powerful day of His One New Man. Those who are qualified will walk in power in this hour. Speak His Word of purpose today!
You have a passion in your heart for a thing you know you were called and prepared to do. Preparation has made a way for His purpose. Speak it forth. Now is the proclamation time. Without these years of preparation the Promise would overwhelm you. But not now. Now is your time in His glory. Proclaim His praise. Proclaim His purpose. You have waited upon Him. Your strength is renewed. Arise...

Repent unto the Purpose of God
We declare over central Indiana that this area would repent and align unto the purpose of God. That the kingdom of God is arising here. That the political spirit in all endeavors would yield to the sovereignty of God.
There has been a great noise that has come up against you to cause you to quit. Stand fast in the glory of the Lord. The government is evil, but the Lord is holy.
He is sovereign LORD!

Repentance Unto the Kingdom is the Word for this Hour
We are hoping to see a church brought to repentance unto the kingdom. We are believing to see a repentance come to our nation that will cause a turnaround in its direction as well.
Proverbs states; as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
"We understand that what we think about expands our progress, potential and development. Therefore we trust that we are divinely endowed and qualified to have a successful life and fulfill our function in the Body of Christ. We shape our future by the thoughts we hold, the dreams we dream, and the beliefs we carry with us. Greatness is a matter of making better choices and then acting on them." Mark Hanby
Our thoughts create the reality we live in. Our words brought forth from our thoughts empower the change. Our works are brought forth from what we believe. If we truly believe that we can have the mind of Christ then we should believe everything that God speaks to us.
God spoke, “For I know the thoughts and plans that I think toward you, thoughts of welfare and peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
His plan becomes the blue print or the syllabus of our life, and our purpose is to make progress in our lessons. A repentant mind is one that accepts the truth of the Word. Church doctrines are much in question in this day. Are they truth?
Only the truth of the Word may stand. To repent unto the kingdom is to bow before the king-Christ Jesus-and to submit to His kingship in all of life. Any relationship you have with God that does not submit to his full authority is not what He requires. His plan can only be worked in obedience.
How will you take new land without a full commitment to Christ? How will the nation repent, unless they see a new kind of Spirit man? If you give all, that is to say, give Him full control, you may end up as a witness of the Spirit before kings. If not, you will be just another of the bound masses of the church.
You can do what ever He says you can, but only if you think you can. Renew your mind today! Read the word, and believe. Father's destiny awaits.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

God has not given You a spirit of Fear
Disappointment, impatience, and a critical spirit are all indicators of fear in your life. Let the word read your heart today.

Dispelling the Darkness-it is time
There is much darkness in the land. At times we feel it so strong that we must stop everything and pray, worship, and then command it to leave. The darkness has taken most in the church, and almost all of the government,local and national.
We drive this darkness out by the light that shines forth from us.
We are currently focused on the other god, Mammon. Mammon is the man system of provision for the earth. It is a principality demon and therefore often does not leave or give up its fight with your without prayer, worship of Yahweh, and warfare.
To wrestle against a principality means we fight it long and in a close struggle with it. This may go against much of what has been taught to you about our dominion over the earth. Remember we must take dominion according to the word of God in Genesis.
We exercise authority in our battles, we take dominion. Literally we take back the land that has been usurped by the enemy. This is important right now.
Now is the right time for victory. The reversal in money and ministry equipment that is need to reach the lost and religious will not be released until we rule over Mammon.
It is time to put this demon down under our feet. It is time to dispel this darkness in the land.

The Trial of Your Faith
If we are to fulfill the call of the Lord on our life, we must endure the process of becoming useful to him. We all have trials. The Lord will use the one who learns to use their trial as wisdom and impetus for the next level of power.
Most of our trials come with a relationship challenge. That is to say someone is opposed to us in our pursuit of our God in our walk. How do we react?
If we hold men guilty for their oppostition and betrayal we tend to cut off the grace God intends to display. Joseph was quick to forgive his brothers as they came to him in their hour of need.
We must do so as well. To forgive graciously without accusation for the wrong, is a test that must be passed. If we pass this test, we can be used by God. When we forgive we take away the right of the devil to be involved in our problem with another.
Yet we do not recieve the oppression of others as reason to stop our pursuit. Nothing and no one must be allowed inroad so as to impead our progress toward the high call.

Hope in Him
"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." -- Vaclav Havel
We do not guarantee the outcome. We follow the King. Our hope in Him is one that is not based on a good feeling, but on truth that does not waver. We know Him by His
scripture.
If I have this hope, I can employ the faith that overcomes the world.
Psa 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Isaiah 62
1 "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp [that] burneth. 2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee. 6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which] shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn [to be] meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. 10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him. 12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken."
The gate is before you.

Know that I am God
You must walk only where you have peace. I do not say peaceful circumstance, but walk where you have peace and rest in your spirit to walk. I call you to rest. You have labored, many times in your own strength. Be still and know that I am God.
Burns Ministry
Are there Fifty?
"Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do.....The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know." Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the LORD. And Abraham came near and said, "Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep {it} away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from Thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are {treated} alike. Far be it from Thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?" So the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account."

Enduring the Cross
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven … for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Finding God's Purpose in your life is the key that opens the door to His blessed intended destiny. Destiny is reached only when what is desired finds its opportunity to to be.
There is a moment in time when God works your circumstances together to make a destiny moment. When God gives that opportunity, you will chose to agree or accept his blessing, or not. Your choice is predictable. It is based on previous faith choices. In fact if you do not walk consistently in faith, you will miss your opportunity.
Your desire is key. When you pray it is not always what you ask for that God responds to, but what you believe for. To be ready for your time, your chance at God's true destiny is a simple preparation. It starts the moment you first say, "yes". It builds as you continue to say, "yes", to His direction.
There are many examples given to us of men who endured hardship for a time to qualify for great honor and blessing. The least of which is not Jesus who for the glory set ahead endured the cross. His yes to the cross was preceded by a life of obedience.
From the moment you first say yes to Jesus, you are on your way to destiny's call. Each time you say yes again, you are following His pattern to destiny. Remember, obedience is the highest form of worship.

What say Ye?
If you will be chosen to bring change to the church, it will be through trial. There will be no change without commitment.
Your words are the tell-tell indicator. Behind your words or your faith proclamations, there is the truth of the state of your heart. Do you believe? Do you believe what you say?
If you believe the message you proclaim, your words, will have power and will effect heaven and earth for the kingdom. If you are wavering, your words will be just another noise in an already noisy world.
When you speak a God Word, it expands. It enlarges in your speaking. It never grows less unless you speak it to be less. God is dealing with our motives and looking for persons with no guile. It is easy to take an offense against God, His Word, or men during trial times.

It is time NOW!
The church in its present form is almost useless to bring about what God is requiring of it. He wants it to look like his heavenly pattern. Heaven is in order. There is no lack in His presence. In heaven resides glory. The church is an anemic irrelevant shell of what Father desires it to be.
The message to the church is; "change or die". That is merciful, for to have the church continue in its present state would be a worse judgment than death.
If the light has become darkness, if the salt has lost its savor, what good is it?
It is time NOW, to repent, for the kingdom is at hand.
The church was never meant to be a big building, or a big organization with professional men running it. The church is always about the people. The saints are to be trained to rule and reign with Jesus. Jesus is the point, the saints are the ones he lives in.
It is now time for the church to repent unto the kingdom. That means that it would switch from focus on man to Jesus. And it would exist to bring believers to the fullness of maturity.
If the church would be right with God's way, it would not have to worry about getting men saved. They would run to a place where God truly was found.

If the church would be right with God's way, it would not have to worry about getting men saved. They would run to a place where God truly was found.

Moses Moses, or the result of Worship
Did you catch this. God called his name twice. That is significant. It is not only the imperative that Moses was called to deliver, but that he was also called twice. Delivering power, is added after fellowship.
Exd 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
What was the duel call about?
Did you know that the call to save the world is not a call to do, but a call to be?When a person is with Jesus, he does not just carry a message-a string of right words-brought forth from the mind. When he is with Jesus he takes on His likeness. He then becomes the manifest Jesus in the world. Moses, come to me, Moses, go as Me to the world.

Needed Worship
The Lord is not lacking in anything, but the worship of man.
Man is focused on himself. Church men often have plans and really only want God to bless what they will do anyway. Worship is needed in this hour more than all you can do. Father is calling such as be of a pure heart to worship Him. This call is a forever call.
Worship breaks selfish ambition.
Selfish ambition is everywhere in today's church. It is best known by evangelistic efforts that waste the resources that Father has intended for the saint.
Does this surprise you?
What really has to happen,for the called greatest in-gathering of souls,is the church must see its Lord, and know Him. When we focus on the lost, we tend to lose worship. When we focus on the Lord and His kingdom, we gain power. The five-fold gifts were to bring the church to maturity. The tabernacle of David must be rebuilt. There is a tearing down that must happen first. Old church-governmental-structures that keep men immature, must be broken. (David wanted to build God a temple. God purposed to have his son Solomon, build it. The Son is the temple builder.)
We will never tear down bad church structures while we chase the lost. No, it is time to examine our hearts and see if there be any evil way in us.
Worship today. Father will tell you more of what I speak, if you will.
Moses would have missed his great deliverance call, if he had not turned aside from his course to worship at the burning bush.
Exd 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Exd 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I. Exd 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy ground.
Exd 3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Day of Transition
We are in a day of transition. Everything we believe is in testing times. When we obey God, we make a place for Him to work. When we obey Him we prove we believe. When we are faced with a decision, we make according to our choice, an opening for God, or and opening for flesh. Obedience is the highest worship.
Jesus did only what he saw Father doing. Do you see Father/Jesus working toward a goal in your life? If yes, then get in agreement with all that He is doing. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We are entering the day of forever. We form the future by the thoughts we have about it. This is the hour of purification of thoughts. Do you believe to see the Goodness of God in the land of the living? Speak what you know. Your faith words are power/spirit/life to your hopes.

Come and Worship
Come apart to worship me. Eat of my flesh and drink my blood. Dance my dance and sing my song. Pray, praise, love and be kingdom. For you are moving into your destiny. This worship is the door to your destiny. Worship me. Proclaim my worth.
You are not just leaving the old you are entering the new. The new is in you.
You have never given me full control, thus you struggle. I am true. Do you know this?Until you know I am true you cannot be successful in the greater battles I have for you to win.
Worship me. Know me. All you do until you know me, is to be considered dung. Worship me.

Come Apart
I was beginning to want for something to say that I have not said. But I am hearing, that this is more a time to listen then to speak. The Lord is saying, "This is the MY rare hour when I am calling for self-introspection". You are to root out the things that fight God and repent of them. The message you speak in your ministry is the same. Truth Words spoken will not return void. "Repent unto the kingdom", is still the message of this hour.
Threfore this is a good time to be alone with God. For soon there are days of ministry when to get alone, will have to be done through deliberatly pulling away from the ministry at hand. You can have both the manifest pressence, and His work in this hour, only if you will seek Him first. Ministry can take all your focus. It screams for your time. It is urgent in its hour. Seek Father now. He is more urgent now.
Come apart unto Him and you will find your portion in this hour. You have need of new abilities, to wield your spiritual weapons, to fight the next battle. They are found in the secret place.
Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Beware of Darkness
Beware of Darkness: I believe that darkness flees light. Only make sure the light in you is not darkness.
I was moving down the road yesterday when I heard in my head, “Beware of Darkness”. It was of course the old George Harrison song.
I know that many go to church, even read bibles and pray, and yet do not have a real relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is alive and He is holy. He has no darkness to offer you. Darkness comes upon you whenever you walk away from truth. Church is usually conformity to some groups thinking of how your relationship with God should develop. It is rarely conformity to a living savior. Much church is just religion. Religion is darkness. The Religionist will show you the things of creation it possesses and claim-to possess them-means they are more holy then those who have no things. It is lie. What will you exchange for your soul?
Since this is an hour when opportunities will arise-as those opportunities arise to walk into your destiny-make sure they are not a door for darkness to sneak into your life. The Word must be spoken over every opportunity. The truth which you know, must be released against the opportunity. If it is evil, it will flee. If it is God's opportunity it will embrace truth. Your proclamation is key. Declare your future. Remember Jesus had no darkness in Him. But His day of judgment was darkness to man.
Religion is judgment. Your battle may manifest as being against religious people, but it is the spirit of Religion that you truly battle. The people are mostly just deceived minions and sometimes even kidnapped royalty. The religious demon is the enemy. You are really just in the battle against him because of the truth you possess. He hates it. His hatred of you is just hatred of the truth.
Luk 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Jhn 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Amo 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
Beware of Darkness!
As you speak the truth in love, to the religious, they will make a choice. If you intrigue them with your words, they will want more. If they are not interested in your kingdom truth they will walk away, or attack. If they walk, let them go. If they attack never compromise what you know.
2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Marsha Burns Word
[Since I've had little for a few days now (last Wednesday "Judgment on America")I will place this word on and hope it helps]
"BEND IN THE RIVER by Marsha Burns:
May 4, 2008
Flow of the River:
I see our walk with the Lord as being more of a flow, like a river instead of a series of starts and stops. So, this is how I currently perceive the spiritual and prophetic flow.
Five months ago the Lord began to speak to us about the New Plateau, which basically is a higher altitude of revelation and service in the kingdom, and the Lord is causing us to arise to this new spiritual level.
The first important revelation came regarding binding and loosing, opening and shutting, allowing and forbidding.
Matthew 16:19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Isaiah 22: The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.
Isaiah 45:1-3 "Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held--to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: 'I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
In our past Christian experience, we have used Matthew 16:19 mostly in this context as we pray: "Satan, we bind you in the name of Jesus, and we loose the Holy Spirit into this situation!" But, with fresh revelation of this concept, we took this scripture verse and began to rise up into the spirit realm and open and shut doors. The results have been astounding and miraculous.
The Rapids:
As we began to flow in this powerful revelation of opening and shutting, we found ourselves being tested in various ways that revealed to us what is necessary for us to go up to the new plateau. As He did in the last season, God again used crisis situations to reveal the things that were out of order physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The lesson to be learned was that we must lay down our own lives, our own natural desires, in order to behold and embrace God's will and purposes. We know this religiously and intellectually from the Word of God, but it is time for us to know this truth experientially.
Our natural tendency is to be selfish and self- centered, thinking only of serving ourselves. But, these tests are designed to bring us together as a cohesive body of believers. And, God's mandate to us is to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4: 1 I (Paul), therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The fires of purification continue to burn as we are being prepared for the next great move of the Spirit of God.
"Beloved, do not hinder the flow of My cleansing tide as I wash away all of the debris of your soul and spirit. Let go and trust Me to do all that is necessary at this time to truly bring you higher spiritually. Release the baggage of the past so that you can arise in new hope, purity and power to embrace all that I have prepared you for," says the Lord.
The river rapids often stir up mud and debris, which is symbolic of the chaos that reveals disorder. But, clarity always comes as God brings order out of chaos and clarity out of the confusion that reveals our iniquity.
Isaiah 57:20-21 The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
Isaiah 58:1 "Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."
Bend in the River:
There is a might river of the Spirit that flows with great force and power. If we yield to the moving of the Holy Spirit, He carries us to divine destiny.
Psalm 46:4-5 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
I see a bend in this great river, which represents a turn or deviation from where we have been. We might also see it as a crossroad, a prophetic intersection or junction. We are at a great turning point where our choices will either bring us closer to God or take us away from God to seek our own desires and purposes. We must seek the Lord in making the right choices.
"Beloved, if you can receive it, I am revealing to your own heart the places where you are motivated by selfish ambition, for this motivation hinders your freedom in the Spirit. You cannot serve yourself and serve Me at the same time, says the Lord. This form of idolatry is rampant in Christian circles and must be brought down and removed. Otherwise, you cannot move forward in My purposes for you, and this double- minded position prevents you from receiving the fullness of My blessings," says the Lord.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
"In the process of time, you are ending a cycle that began about seven years ago, and you will undergo an accelerated separation from the past that will create a division that cannot be bridged. Certainly, you will never be able to go back, nor should you look back. This chasm is ever widening and your spiritual landscape is ever changing, but you can only move into the next phase of your existence as you have freedom to do so. Disappointments and regrets from the past can keep you bound and unable to progress, so now is the time to completely release everything that brought a sense of failure or reproach. Let go and be free," says the Lord.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things, which are behind and reaching forward to those things, which are ahead.
Fresh Springs:
There are fresh springs feeding this mighty river, which are symbolic of the Lord's abundance and blessings to those who are in right standing or right relationship with Him.
Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good; and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.
The Joseph Covenant, which the Lord revealed to us prophetically over a year ago, is still in effect for another five years of great plenty. But, this covenant is only available to those who have a heart to give and are not only good stewards of what is given to them, but a conduit of God's blessings rather than a reservoir. It requires a heart of generosity and selflessness.
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Great and Effective Door:
"I am opening a great effective door of evangelism for you, but you will not be able to go through using religious techniques that have been established through what you have been taught. This will be a move of My Spirit like nothing you have ever experienced. I have equipped you and prepared you, and now you will be able to go forth with a pure heart and attitude that will not bring attention to yourself and your ministry, but it will only bring the revelation and glory of My kingdom. Only the humble in heart will be able to go through this door of opportunity," says the Lord.
The Lord is making a way for an evangelistic revival. We have seen plenty of evangelism, and yet I read that somewhere in the neighborhood of 95% of people who make a decision to receive Christ do not remain faithful. God is about to show us a more effective way, and He will open the door. He will use those with a broken and contrite heart. This will be a work of the Spirit and it will not have its roots in denominationalism, religious exercise, religious duty, or flesh. It will be a supernatural move of the Spirit.
"I have deposited a seed of desire in your heart that will begin to acquire definition by taking conscious form. You will first be aware of a stirring in your spirit like the fluttering of the first movements of an unborn child. This desire when it has fully matured will set you on a course that will bring forth destiny. And, you will be moved by the irresistible power of My Spirit to establish you in kingdom purpose. You must resist the temptation to define this seed of desire according to your mind or emotions. This is not a desire of the soul or of thoughts and feelings; it is the call of the Spirit," says the Lord. "Be sensitive to these subtle yearnings and yield to this powerful work of My Spirit."
"Prepare your heart to receive, for I am releasing a wave of power that will sweep over you and will demonstrate the strength of My intensions for this season. But, you must be open and surrendered if you are to catch this wave. Come, I say, with an openness to receive of My Spirit. Release yourself from religious duty and the pressure to perform. This will be My gift to you and not something you can cause to happen, nor can you earn the right to partake of it. Yours is only to position yourself by faith to receive," says the Lord.
A Fresh Word:
"You will do whatever it takes to go for the gold (that which is of the Spirit). You will not be satisfied with silver (pertaining to the soul) or bronze (associated with flesh). You have set your heart on doing your best to reach your greatest potential in Christ. You have fallen short many times, but you are ready to move beyond mediocrity, compromise, and self-satisfaction to reach the goal and obtain the prize. And, you are more determined than ever to fulfill your kingdom destiny, for you know the time is now."
"These times are golden, and you are no longer willing to waste precious time and energy in the spiritual dissipation of disappointment, grief and regret. This quality decision will result in a maturity that will not only bring honor to Me," says the Lord, "but will draw others into a greater level of commitment that will inevitable bring the same results."
"I call to the ends of the earth to a people who will make a covenant of salt with Me. It is a covenant of strength and loyalty. It requires commitment, faithfulness and obedience, and it will establish a permanent and satisfying relationship between us for eternity. Mine is to keep My promises to you, and yours is pure devotion free from corruption," says the Lord.
Matthew 5: 13-16 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." "

"In the process of time, you are ending a cycle that began about seven years ago, and you will undergo an accelerated separation from the past that will create a division that cannot be bridged. Certainly, you will never be able to go back, nor should you look back. This chasm is ever widening and your spiritual landscape is ever changing, but you can only move into the next phase of your existence as you have freedom to do so. Disappointments and regrets from the past can keep you bound and unable to progress, so now is the time to completely release everything that brought a sense of failure or reproach. Let go and be free," says the Lord.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things, which are behind and reaching forward to those things, which are ahead.
Fresh Springs:
There are fresh springs feeding this mighty river, which are symbolic of the Lord's abundance and blessings to those who are in right standing or right relationship with Him.
Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good; and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.
The Joseph Covenant, which the Lord revealed to us prophetically over a year ago, is still in effect for another five years of great plenty. But, this covenant is only available to those who have a heart to give and are not only good stewards of what is given to them, but a conduit of God's blessings rather than a reservoir. It requires a heart of generosity and selflessness.
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Great and Effective Door:
"I am opening a great effective door of evangelism for you, but you will not be able to go through using religious techniques that have been established through what you have been taught. This will be a move of My Spirit like nothing you have ever experienced. I have equipped you and prepared you, and now you will be able to go forth with a pure heart and attitude that will not bring attention to yourself and your ministry, but it will only bring the revelation and glory of My kingdom. Only the humble in heart will be able to go through this door of opportunity," says the Lord.
The Lord is making a way for an evangelistic revival. We have seen plenty of evangelism, and yet I read that somewhere in the neighborhood of 95% of people who make a decision to receive Christ do not remain faithful. God is about to show us a more effective way, and He will open the door. He will use those with a broken and contrite heart. This will be a work of the Spirit and it will not have its roots in denominationalism, religious exercise, religious duty, or flesh. It will be a supernatural move of the Spirit.
"I have deposited a seed of desire in your heart that will begin to acquire definition by taking conscious form. You will first be aware of a stirring in your spirit like the fluttering of the first movements of an unborn child. This desire when it has fully matured will set you on a course that will bring forth destiny. And, you will be moved by the irresistible power of My Spirit to establish you in kingdom purpose. You must resist the temptation to define this seed of desire according to your mind or emotions. This is not a desire of the soul or of thoughts and feelings; it is the call of the Spirit," says the Lord. "Be sensitive to these subtle yearnings and yield to this powerful work of My Spirit."
"Prepare your heart to receive, for I am releasing a wave of power that will sweep over you and will demonstrate the strength of My intensions for this season. But, you must be open and surrendered if you are to catch this wave. Come, I say, with an openness to receive of My Spirit. Release yourself from religious duty and the pressure to perform. This will be My gift to you and not something you can cause to happen, nor can you earn the right to partake of it. Yours is only to position yourself by faith to receive," says the Lord.
A Fresh Word:
"You will do whatever it takes to go for the gold (that which is of the Spirit). You will not be satisfied with silver (pertaining to the soul) or bronze (associated with flesh). You have set your heart on doing your best to reach your greatest potential in Christ. You have fallen short many times, but you are ready to move beyond mediocrity, compromise, and self-satisfaction to reach the goal and obtain the prize. And, you are more determined than ever to fulfill your kingdom destiny, for you know the time is now."
"These times are golden, and you are no longer willing to waste precious time and energy in the spiritual dissipation of disappointment, grief and regret. This quality decision will result in a maturity that will not only bring honor to Me," says the Lord, "but will draw others into a greater level of commitment that will inevitable bring the same results."
"I call to the ends of the earth to a people who will make a covenant of salt with Me. It is a covenant of strength and loyalty. It requires commitment, faithfulness and obedience, and it will establish a permanent and satisfying relationship between us for eternity. Mine is to keep My promises to you, and yours is pure devotion free from corruption," says the Lord.
Matthew 5: 13-16 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." "
Prayer Alert
Pray for this world now. It is in total upheaval. God is not in fear. But if He does not stop the present move of men, the world will go into totalitarianism.
Come Lord Jesus!
Come Lord Jesus!
