The Current State of the World
Behold the
earth reels as the enemy lashes out, knowing that his time is
limited. The hearts of men are filled with fear as they see the
turmoil that surrounds them. And the temptation is there to join
them in this and lose heart.
But for you
there is hope says the Lord. For the future is not an out of control
train running without rails. But I am holding you in the palm of my
hands. And all you need to do is place your trust fully in me.
Therefore look
not upon the year ahead with natural eyes, but look with spiritual
eyes. See not what the enemy is doing, but see what I am doing and
what I am about to do. The enemy does not know what I am planning to
do, but he knows that my plans and purposes will cause his kingdom
to fall. Therefore, he lashes out, knowing that he has suffered loss
and is angry. But know that the greater One is about to manifest
Himself to this world in power and glory that far exceeds anything
that Satan can do.
For I have
only begun to bare my arm says the Lord. I have only begun to raise
my hand in battle. I have only begun to step out to claim the
kingdoms of this world as my own.
God Will Arise
In His People
So as many
look in fear at what is happening in the world. As many are afraid
of the future and the disasters that they see all around. As many
are wondering, “Where is God”, so I am beginning to arise in an
unprecedented way. But I will not arise apart from my people. I will
arise only in the midst of my people. And I will not show my face
except through my Body in the Earth.
It is time
then that my Church triumphant rises up and declares to this world
who I AM and what I can do. It is time my Body shakes off its
lethargy and weakness, and begins to rise up strong. For when many
are looking to see ‘where is God’ then I will be seen in the midst
of my Church.
Gathering of
the Warriors
The call goes
out to gather my army of warriors who will go forth into battle for
me. Who will go and take new ground for me. But my warriors have
been hiding away. They have been waiting and looking for me to rise
up and do a new thing. They are weary of the way the battle has gone
in the past. For they have seen my Church stagger like a drunk man,
without direction or power.
Therefore, get
ready says the Lord, all of you hidden warriors. For the time of
your manifestation is nearby. And I will send to you those who will
show you the way. Those who will train you in new ways of warfare.
Those who will place new weapons in your hand to carry out this
task.
For I will
gather to myself a new band of mighty men and women from the corners
of the earth. I will raise up many mighty warriors such as my
servant David, and they will in turn gather to themselves mighty men
and women who will follow them into battle.
The enemy has
shown his hand, now it is time to show my hand says the Lord. For as
much as he can bring destruction and death, so I can bring healing
and life. As much as he can separate men and bring division, so I
can bind them together and bring harmony. As much as he can create
chaos, so I can bring order. And not only can I equal him in these
things, but I can and will far exceed him in these things says the
Lord.
The Things
Which Are Lacking
My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge. They are destroyed for lack of
strong passion. They are destroyed for lack of tender love and care.
Therefore, the season that lies ahead will see me bringing forth
those who will cause my church to return to its inheritance.
New Teachers
For I will
send forth those who will teach my ways in truth. Not with the dead
doctrines of men, but with the living words of life. Expect to see
many new teachers arising in my Body says the Lord, who will present
principles in simple ways, and with great insight. For my Word will
be restored to its rightful place. Many will find a new love for My
Word as it is taught correctly.
New Pastors
And then I
will send forth those who will show how to lead my people in love
and compassion. For the heart of the True Shepherd yearns for His
people. But my shepherds have failed to show the way. They have not
shown my true heart to the people. And those who desire to lead my
flock are following the wrong ways that they have seen in the past.
This must change says the Lord. Therefore I am raising up a new
breed of shepherds who will show the way.
New
Evangelists
Finally, I
will raise up leaders with a passion for My Kingdom in the earth. A
passion to extend my Kingdom, and a passion to display my power and
glory. How can my Body grow unless it reproduces itself? But my body
has lost its love and it has ended up destroying itself instead of
reproducing itself. Therefore I will raise up a new generation of
those who will tell the Good News. They will go forth in mighty
power as the apostles of old. And I will confirm my Word which they
speak, with signs and wonders says the Lord.
Look not
therefore at the chaos and destruction that you see all around you.
But look ahead with joy to the unity and order that I am about to
bring. Look not to the condition of my Body universal, which might
appear as a leprous man at times, covered with sores and wounds. But
see the mighty warrior that I am raising up. My Church triumphant,
filled with glory and power.
Various Stages
of the Harvest
Know that it
is time to put your hand to the plow and to prepare the ground for
the harvest to come. It is time to sow the seed that will produce a
continual harvest of blessing from my hand. It is time to put in the
sickle and reap the harvest that is already ripe and ready.
So open your
eyes says the Lord, and see what I am doing in the earth. And as you
see me moving, get ready to move with me. For I will come as a
mighty wind upon the earth. I will come as a raging river. And those
who are ready to move with me will be gathered together into a
mighty force for good. But those who are not ready will remain and
stagnate. They will reap an old harvest that is beginning to rot and
die.
A Promise and a
Warning
I would have
you to be part of what I am about to do in the earth. Therefore make
yourself ready, and stand waiting for my commands. Stand watching
and waiting for me to manifest myself to you. Stand ready when the
call comes, to move out at my command. For I will move swiftly and
will not delay, and the call will come to you but once to step out
and take your place.
