Today’s Rhema

I am the bread of Life

Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY (rhema) word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). The Lord still speaks to His people today with prophetic words for the purpose of edification, and exhortation, and comfort in order to build up and strengthen the church (I Corinthians 14:3,4). The question is, are there obedient vessels bold enough to speak what the Spirit is truly saying to the churches in this hour and does the church has a tender enough heart for Him to hear the truth as well as a desire to be obedient once they’ve heard it?

Often the Lord wakes my wife or me up in the early morning hours with what I believe are timely prophetic words for anyone with ears to hear. I pray these words will fall upon hungry hearts, passionate to be all that the Lord Jesus Christ has called them to be and do whatever He has called them to do.

We may think we love God more than anything else but for most that thought is only a self deluted idea. God could prove in one moment of time, just as He did the rich young ruler, that there are things in our lives that are more valuable to us than Him. 

Idolatry is nothing more than misdirected love and affection. The way that God can identify our idols is by asking us to forsake it, let it go, give it up, or give it away. 

Jesus said in Luke 14 that unless we forsake all, we could not follow Him to truly be His disciple. There would always be something in the way of our loyalty and obedience to Him. Our misdirected love can be as quickly revealed as the rich young ruler’s was. He earnestly sought salvation as he came running to Jesus and fell at His feet (Mark 10:17-25) asking Him, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Although he claimed to have done many good things in his lifetime, all those good things didn’t outweigh the one thing that he lacked.

Many Christians today think they only need to believe to be saved.

If that were so, when the rich young ruler asked Jesus what he must DO to inherit eternal life, Jesus would have answered, “You don’t need to DO anything. Only believe and you will inherit eternal life.”

The love of many is waxed cold, falling in love with this world and the things of this world instead of me. The love of this world is idolatry and mates the idolater with the god of this world. Behind every idol is a demon.

Guard your heart because this love has gripped many, entangling themselves with the affairs of this world and now are having an affair with this world.

The reapers are coming to harvest the world. We are at the end of the age. Those who love this world will go with their mate, the god of this world, to his destination. Those who love me, not only in word but in deed, will go with me.

Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom, but he who does the will of my father. Don’t be deceived, God will not be mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

The reapers are coming to reap the fruit of the earth. What is the fruit of your life? Is it the works of the flesh or the fruit of the Spirit? What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world yet lose his own soul and what shall he exchange for his soul?

Many have played the fool thinking they own what is mine for they shall leave this world as naked as they entered. Strip yourselves this day of what clothes you. The garment of your security is false. Your security can only be me.

If you don’t choose Me, you will realize how insecure you really are the day you are stripped. I must be your security. If I am not, you have demonstrated your idolatry and all idolaters will have their part in the lake of fire.

Allow me to consume you before you are consumed by your adultery with this world. Judge yourselves before the Judge arrives.

Time is short. Don’t delay because I won’t. I am on a schedule. I won’t be late for my wedding. The question is will you?

Who knows the mind of God except the Spirit of God?  Who knows the heart of man except the Spirit of God?
We are now entering uncharted waters the world has never known. We are now entering a period of time like no other in the history of the world.
…and the band played on. Instead of manning the lifeboats, the passengers are listening to the music; enjoying the wonderful sounds of instruments of gold and silver which soon will find their final resting place at the bottom of the ocean.
The voice of love is saying, “Man the lifeboats” but the passengers would rather listen to the sounds of pleasing and pleasant music. The passengers don’t realize the ship has already met her destiny. The bell has been rung. The ship has hit the unseen because the unseen went unnoticed.
When the voice of truth became quiet, who would speak for reason? Who would speak to give council and guidance?  
We have now entered uncharted waters and no one will enter the lifeboat without the Captains orders and permission. Everyone is now under the Captain’s command both passengers and crew.
Only repentance will give access to the “lifeboat”. The unrepentant will find their destiny at the bottom of the ocean among the instruments that pleased their ears.

There will be no sin justified or excused before a Holy God. Instead of justifying, rationalizing, or excusing sin saying to ourselves, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace” or the blood of Jesus covers my faults; the things we do wrong should be an indication of whether we have more of a desire to please ourselves more than God.

If we would rather please ourselves more than God, it indicates we love ourselves more than God and thus disqualified ourselves from being his disciple and following Him.

Jesus said if we love anyone more than Him including ourselves, we cannot be his disciple (Luke 14:26).

If the love of this world is enmity with God, then it is our choice to love what He hates. This life is a test of allegiance. It’s a test of choice and the choices we live to make indicate the condition of our heart.

For out of the heart proceed evil thought, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man. (Matthew 15:19, 20)

No man can cure a problem by treating a symptom. The true cause must be treated and the cause if within our heart. Therefore purify your hearts you sinners.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (James 4:8)

The inside of the cup must be cleansed first before the outside of the cup will be clean. The problem is the heart is hidden and the one most hidden is our own.

King David said, “Search me o God and know my heart, see if there is any wicked way in me.” By David allowing God to reveal the true nature of his own heart, God revealed the nature of the heart of God allowing him to see the difference. David wanted to please the heart of God more than his own and that is what made him a man after God’s own heart.

So the question to all of us is what is in our heart. Will we open it up for God to inspect or is it off limits? If it’s off limits for God’s inspection, it will be out of our own view as well.

Would we rather make excuses for our sin or deal with it? Do we broom it under the rug thinking, “It’s under the blood”.

Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.”

True repentance offers no excuses. I’ll repeat that, true repentance offers no excuses. If we are making excuses, it indicates a lack of repentance. Repentance takes humility and a lack of repentance indicates pride. So if there are indications of pride, it needs to be dealt with that we might receive the grace we all so desperately need. Pride will put an impenetrable wall around ourselves to his mercy and grace, for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. It’s not God who puts the wall around us, it’s our self. Therefore there’s no one to blame but our self.

This word I am about to post is a word I received early on the morning of September 1st. I struggled with posting but after the Lord confirmed this word two days later, I had no choice but to post it.

Come out of her my people lest you partake of her plagues. Stay and you will. You are contaminated and don’t know it. You must leave to find out. Only then can you find out and be cured. You are filthy and don’t know it. You are filled with pride and rebellion and don’t know it. You justify yourself because you’re contaminated. You must leave to be decontaminated.

You are plagued by association. Your association has plagued you. You’ve drunk from her cup. You’ve partaken of her sins therefore share her plagues. You must leave to be cured. My word has been spoken therefore it must happen accordingly, for my word cannot fail but must go forth and accomplish its purpose. I have spoken that it will be an utter wasteland and that is what it will be.

This was written at 4:00 AM this morning. Immediately after writing this word, I felt impressed to go to Chapters 50 and 51 of Jeremiah and these scriptures stood out.

For out of the north there shall come a nation that shall make her land desolate and NONE shall dwell therein. Jeremiah 50:3

Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall NOT be inhabited but shall be wholly desolate. Jeremiah 50:13

Let NOTHING of her be left. Jeremiah 50:26

And it shall be NO more inhabited FOREVER, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. Jeremiah 50:39

(Just) As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities, saith the Lord, so shall NO man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. Jeremiah 50:40

…but thou shalt be desolate forever, saith the LORD.  Jeremiah 51:26

And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.  Jeremiah 51:29

And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, WITHOUT an inhabitant.  Jeremiah 51:37

Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein NO man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. Jeremiah 51:43

My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. Jeremiah 51:45

August 26, 2015

When a pastor feeds from the flock rather than feeds the flock, it is a misappropriation of funds. They are robbing my blessing. They are taking from my storehouse.

Who will stand in that day when the Accountant arrives, when all will give account?

I called my pastors to be a blessing, not rob mine. How could they create believers before they believe? All will give account and they are most accountable.

Be not many masters for they will receive the greater condemnation. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Did they not truly believe every word that proceeds from my mouth. Every word is true whether the believed it or not and I will surely perform every word whether they believe it or not. I am not a man that I should lie for I cannot lie.

The father of lies goes about sowing lies looking for a garden whose heart loves the world and the things of this world. That heart is dangerous soil for it reaps only destruction. The heart that that seeks me will find me and will reap life and not destruction.

So quit seeking the things below and start seeking the things above for if you continue to seek the things below, your final home will be there; for where a man’s treasure is, there his heart will be also.

I will give every man the desire of his heart. If you really want Me, live like it. You will find me when you seek me with ALL of your heart. A divided heart won’t find Me, not the real Me. I won’t share my heart with a divided heart. So quit fooling yourself or you will be the fool.

I am holy and I am righteous and my true believers will become that too as they seek me with all their heart. This is my mark I put upon them. No man can put this mark upon themself. This is my mark.

I identify my people because their identity is hidden in me and not themself. They have given up their identity and become hidden in me. The world looks for them and sees me. Who does the world see when they see you? You or me. I long to be seen upon the earth. As long as you love the world, the world will see you.

Only those who have given up their life in this world will have life in the world to come. Every man will get what he wants including you. No man is immune from my judgment. No man gets a pass. Those given much, much is required. Much will be required of my pastors.

Those who feed from my flock demonstrate their love for this world. They only reproduced that same love in others. They created their own family, not mine. They reproduced more selfishness and not selflessness. They were marked by the world.

Whose mark do you bear? I am coming for those with my mark? Are you really my bride? Do you have my mark or the world’s.

Take inventory of what is really inside your heart. Is it a love for this world or a love for me? Is your heart filled with my love or the world’s?

The Auditor is coming and sooner than you think. Take inventory now. Don’t delay because i won’t.

I am always on time because I created time. I am never be late. I won’t be late for my wedding. Will you? The foolish virgins thought they were ready but slept away their final hour of preparation. Don’t sleep away yours.

August 4, 2015

If the happiness of our lives is still controlled by things going our way, then maybe this is the indication that we are still living for ourselves.

The refiner’s fire is coming and is upon us all. Trying times have arrived. If we are determined to continue to live for ourselves, the trying times will consume us. If we will determine to die to ourselves and live for Him, then the trying times will consume what’s not of Him.

Now is the time to make the determination who we are going to live for. Either we determine to separate ourselves from the dross or we will be the dross He separates. Any area of compromise in our lives will compromise us and our eternal destiny.

He is coming for a bride who is holy and blameless. The temperature of the fire is increasing and will continue to increase. The fire will fulfill its purpose.

The question is will we?

A man can tell another man the truth but God must reveal it.

Many have handled the word of God deceitfully for gain because they loved not the truth. These deceivers are clouds without rain making empty promises that will never be kept.  They tickle the ears of the simple minded too lazy to dig for the truth themselves because those hearers are merely looking for a free meal.

The welfare state of America began with a spiritual welfare state. When America began to become a people that would rather have someone else spiritually feed them, the welfare state began. Now 50 years later, the trough-eaters have been fattened for the slaughter and the slaughter is about to begin.

Are you a welfare state recipient? Do you go to church to be fed or are you the church that feeds? If you merely go to church to be fed, you are a welfare state recipient.

If you aren’t already full when you go to church, you’ll likely to eat whatever is on the menu. If you aren’t already so in love with the truth, a lie can be mingled with truth and the result will always be deception. The narrow road will be broadened and before you know it, you’re on the path to destruction. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.  You won’t realize your life is filled with leaven until the time of testing arrives and by that time pride can be so set that you can’t repent.

Go to the Gospels and compare the Good Shepherds voice with your shepherd’s voice. Do they sound the same or do they sound different? Is your shepherds voice as challenging as Mine?

If you find I’m not your shepherd, trust Me that you may Me. I will lead you to green pasture. I will lead you from your brown grass to green grass. I will feed you during the time of famine.

The time of famine has already begun. Are you not yet hungry? If you don’t hunger for the truth, a lie will satisfy. Only those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled. I can only feed the hungry. The full will never come to my table. You must be poor in spirit to recognize your need.

Examine your life today to see if you are really mine, if you are really filled with faith and trust. You will need to be so filled with trust for the days that lie ahead and are soon to arrive.

Now is the time to check the oil in your lamp because darkness is about to arrive. Only my truth will light your path and give you the ability to see in the dark.

Are you ready? Are you really ready? The darkness will arrive whether you are ready or not.

July 23, 2015

So many are so ill prepared for what is to come. They think they are something they aren’t and have a relationship with someone they don’t. So many aren’t prepared.

Just as the foolish virgins, these overconfident people won’t realize the truth until it’s too late, for overconfidence is merely a manifestation of pride and pride is the result of a man or woman who refuses to deny them self.

My word has never changed. No man can be my disciple unless they deny themself…no man.

This is the first and for most, the final act of disqualification. I didn’t disqualify them, they disqualified themselves. All men must play by the rules. They must live by the Book. All must finish the race. He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved. There are no shortcuts.

Do you not believe my word is true. I must perform every word because I am bound by my word. It is an oath unto myself. Is not your word the same?

For those who said they would give me their life and their heart, did you really mean it? Did you really give me your whole heart? Who have you really been living for, yourself or me?

Are you really living for me? Search your heart this day and find the honest truth, for the day of reckoning is near.

I am the Creator. I created time and am in complete control of it. Fall upon the Rock and be broken or the Rock will fall upon you and you will be crushed to powder.

You have nearly slept through your watch. I am giving many their final opportunity to check their lamps. The bridegroom is coming. Oil will be a precious commodity in that day. For those who lack oil, it will be too late to buy and no man will give you their own. Each and every man is responsible for his own oil.

If any man denies truth, they deny Me as well, for I am Truth.

Wake up an take inventory of your life. The Auditor is coming. The harvest is about to begin. Are you the grain or the chaff?

I know but do you?

July 18,2015

There is a woman of God I have recently come to know who is hearing the Lord speak to her in her spirit with warnings of thing to come. Here is the most recent word.

To those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, look around you and seek understanding.  The hearts of many have grown cold and there is no love for one another.  The love of God has been taken away and now man is left with his lust for self, and has no desire to help others or to serve me.

The gates are down; the enemy has entered and has found you defenseless.  You have refused to listen to the cries of the watchmen I gave to you.  They have blown the horns, they have sounded the alarms, but you laughed and refused to listen.  Now you will be destroyed because you allowed yourself to become deaf, fat and lazy.

Instead of keeping watch and being strong for battle, you sat down watched your television shows and turned your minds over to pleasures rather than to God. You have allowed your bodies to become weak and lifeless.  Your communities are sick and weak. Why would you not listen to me when I spoke to you?  Why did you not trust me to lead you and give you understanding?

Plagues are now in the land. They will devour you, and death will overwhelm you.   Those who continue to mock me will be eaten up with disease and sickness.  Those who have desired to destroy you will have their way with you now.  I have lifted my hand from you, and now your land will waste away. Your inhabitance will suffer a terrible death.  

Did you think that I would not judge you?   How long did you think the innocent would cry out before I avenged their blood?  Now evil will tear through your land. Your inheritance has been taken away; there is no turning back.  You have sealed your fate

Destruction is at your doorstep. All who love themselves will cry false tears but they will never repent. Those who have sought  this world and the god of this world laughing at me will cry for mercy and received none. I have given them over to their selfish desires and their lustful lifestyles.

How foolish they are and they think they are so enlightened. I laugh from the Heavens because they see themselves as such wise men and women, when in truth they are ignorant and foolish.  

In that day when they stand before me they will wish that they had never been born. They have chosen the god they will serve and they chose to serve the idol of self. They see themselves above anyone and they think of themselves as a god. How foolish and how deceived they have become.

For those who cry out to me in true repentance  will find refuge under my wings; you will have peace in the midst of the storm. You will no longer cry when you come home, for your time of suffering will come to an end and your life eternal will begin. 

Rejoice for the hour of your calling is near, and I will welcome you home.  For those who have been called to stay behind to fight my battles, you will not be fighting in your own strength but your Heavenly Father will give His angels charge over you and will stand before you in battle as you stand in faith they will battle for you. I will be with you until the battle is won. Rejoice for the time of the end is coming.

July 16,2015

To deny the fact that God will judge America for her sins is to deny the very reality that God will judge an individual’s sins. God is not a man who can lie and He will not be mocked. What a man or a nation sowes shall also be reaped. There are consequences for sin and every man shall pay.

God has provided a way to escape those consequences but there is only one path of escape and that the path called repentance. In order to repent, one must first acknowledge their wrong doing and without the acknowledgement of wrong, one will never gain access to the path of salvation.

A man or a nation will be hindered by the greatest obstacle to salvation and that obstacle is pride. All men must go through the strait gate. The strait gate is a gate or entrance hindered by obstacles and pride is and has always been the greatest obstacle to salvation. 

Oh if my people would only humble themselves that they might then be granted the grace and thus be enabled to turn from their wicked ways for God gives grace to the humble but He resists the proud.

Although the nation of America would not humble herself, there is still time for the individual. The angel of The Lord is still placing my mark on the foreheads on the repentant just as in the days of Ezekiel.

Can you not hear the cries of your Creator to repent and turn back to Him with your whole heart that you might live? I am offering life. Who would turn down so great an offer? Only a fool would do such a thing.

The fool hath said in his heart there is no God to remove his accountability to his Creator but no man can remove his accountability. That would be as impossible as the created becoming uncreated.

There is a day of reckoning and that day is approaching as fast as a train late for an appointment. The sad thing is you are standing on the train track blind and deaf, totally unaware of the danger that is about to arrive.

Humble yourself that I may give you eye salve that you might see the true danger all the unrepentant are in, a danger with eternal consequences.

Time is short, time is very short. The train is approaching and most certainly will arrive on time.

Repent so that I might  get you off the tracts and out of harms way. Today is the day of salvation. There is no guarantee of tomorrow. Tomorrow may be the day that begins an eternity filled only with sorrow and regret.

Don’t miss your opportunity.

Living in the Bull’s Eye

When a nation no longer obeys the very first commandment of its creator to be fruitful and multiply, it’s days are numbered. It’s no longer a fruitful nation. Its destruction is nigh, even at the door.

Some would argue, is it not the right of man to make this choice? To which the answer is yes.

Since the very creation of man, the right to choose has been given to man but that right has been given to him with accountability and with accountability comes consequences because man’s Creator has rights too.

This is the missing factor a godless society doesn’t recognize, that God has rights too. Just as man was created in the image and likeness of God, God has always had the same rights that man was given.

Yet, what man void of wisdom and understanding hasn’t considered is that the Creator’s rights supersede and trump the rights of the created. God reserves His ultimate right to make decisions as well.

That’s why God is the ultimate Judge and can make the final and ultimate judgment, for a judgment is merely a decision, good or bad for better or for worse. Man has made a bad decision regarding his fellow man and God will make a decision in like kind. He reserves that right and no man can remove that right from Him, no man.

That’s what makes Him God.

June 13, 2015 

The false doctrine of the Pre-tribulation rapture has cost millions of “Christians” their soul because the foundation of their walk with Me was based upon a way out rather than a way in. Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven but he who does the will of my Father which is in Heaven.

No man will do the will of my Father until they pursue the will of my Father.

A way out mentality will nullify their pursuit. A way out mentality will cause a potential disciple to stay on the shore of life and never strive for the other side. They will never encounter contrary winds to strengthen their faith in me. They will disciple and duplicate others with the same faithless mindset and it’s impossible to please me without faith.

How will that man hear the words at the end of his journey, “Well done thy good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord”. The end of that man’s journey will not be filled with joy but will be filled only with sorrow and regret.

So quit looking for a way out and start looking for a way in. Cast your boat from the shore and set yourself for the other side. That is where I will meet you. You’ll know you’re heading the right direction when you encounter  the contrary winds of persecution for persecution has always been the trademark of those who are truly living for me. 

I will strengthen your faith as you continue to row through those winds and you will be strengthened to endure the days that lie ahead.

Many of those who consider themselves mine will lose faith as they are ill-prepared for the testing that is soon to arrive. Now is the time to strengthen what remains. Now is the time to pursue a way in rather than a way out.

So what will it be? Are you in or are you out? That choice must be made before the storm arrives.

May 11, 2015 

Today is a sad day for America. She was given a span to repent but she repented not. Today the death sentence has been pronounced over her. Death by famine, death by pestilence, death by sword, and death by war. Today America, the land of the free is become the home of the slave. Today America is “Ground Zero” for God’s judgment.

Her pride and arrogance would not allow her to repent. Now her judgment has been sealed… signed, sealed, and soon to be delivered by the Almighty. She believed a lie that her Maker would never judge her, that only love would ever flow from Him.

Now she will discover who her Maker is, in His fullness. Her position of prestige came with the price of accountability and she will now pay for her sin. Her payment will arrive swiftly and the unrepentant who have partaken of her delicacies will suffer the wrath of the Almighty.

Her prostitution will cost her dearly. Her bed partners have grown to despise her and will soon turn on her. Sin was fun for a season but that season has ended. The party is over, the hangover begins. God will not be mocked.

April 30, 2015

Are you really ready?  The foolish virgins weren’t. They were deceived. They thought they were ready but in reality they weren’t. They thought they had a relationship with someone but in reality they didn’t.

When the cry went out for the wedding, it was later than they thought. Somewhere along the way they had misused valuable time. The sand in their hourglass had been used for something other than what it had been intended for.

Most people living today have no idea how much or how little sand is in their hourglass. If you were to find out you had very little sand left, what would you do with the time that remained? Would you use it for your pleasure or Mine?

What if you checked you lamp and found very little oil in it? Would it concern you? What if you discovered the Jesus you thought you knew wasn’t the same Jesus who spoke the red-letters of the Bible that gathers dust on your book shelf? Would you open the book and find out for yourself who I really am.

The hour is late and many aren’t ready. Many have slept precious time away. Many think they are something they aren’t and have a relationship with someone they don’t. It’s time for a dose of reality. It’s time to find out who you really are and who I really am. The time is late, much later than you think.

The only way to gain authority greater than our own is to submit to an authority greater than our own. When we yield to Satan’s authority, we give him authority over us and the only way to reverse this to gain authority over his authority is to submit to an authority greater than his.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) Without possessing an authority in our lives greater than his, he has no reason to leave.

When we give place to the devil, we give him authority over us and only by repentance and true humility will God grant us His authority to resist the devil. If we don’t humble ourselves and truly repent, we will be left to ourselves to continue traveling down the broad, “do it my way” highway which ultimately leads to our own destruction.

Only God’s grace will set us free. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6, I Peter 5:5)

It was the rebellion and stiff necks that caused the children of Israel to lap the mountain yet one more time. Seeing the same ‘ol mountain? Only true repentance will allow us to move us forward to our “Promised Land” and fulfill God’s promises for our life. Without true repentance, we’ll  have no other option but to make another lap.

November 26, 2014

Oh Earth, Earth: Yet once more will I shake not only the heavens but the earth as well. How long will you not hear my cries for repentance? How long will you ignore my voice? How long will you test me to prove my word?

Trust me, my word is true for better or for worse. Trust me, I will perform every word. I am not a man that I should lie. Trust me. Will you not even error on the side of caution?

Will you not even error on the side of caution that I am a holy and righteous God and I require holiness from my people. What if my word is true and my judgments are just? What if I will judge all unrighteousness? Will my judgment fall upon you? Where will you be on that great and terrible day?

The only way of escape my wrath on that great and terrible day is to repent, and the only way to repent is to first humble yourself. Only through  humility will I grant you repentance. The prideful and rebellious of heart will have their part in the lake of fire and there will be no escape. That fire shall never be quenched.

Your finite mind cannot comprehend infinity. It has not been given that ability but the day the temporal turns into the eternal, you will know and understand. For many, that day will arrive and it will be one day too late. Will that day arrive one day too late for you? Can you not see the signs of my coming and my soon arrival? Will I arrive and you won’t be ready?

I am coming for my bride and she will be ready. She will have made herself ready. Will that be you? That is my desire, that you be ready. Will you be ready?

November 25,2014

The purpose of your relationship with me wasn’t to manifest the gifts as much as manifest the fruit. Rejoice not that the demons are subject unto you but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

Be thankful to the point that your hearts are changed to be like me, that your desire to be with me takes such precedence that you become like me. That is who I desire to marry, someone like me.

What is more important to you, to see or be seen, to hear or be heard? The manifestation of the pride of life is to be seen and heard.

It’s time to examine your motives and innermost desires. Are they your desires or mine? Will they get you where you want to go or get you where I want you to go?

Your desire will cause you to follow your own path, the easy way. My desire is for you to follow my path which is the difficult one. My path is difficult because it is contrary to the carnal way. The carnal man desires a path that feeds his flesh and fleshly desires. He lives to gratify himself and will reject the path that doesn’t please himself.

When someone lives this way, they have rejected the path to life. When his journey has ended and he hasn’t found life, there will be no one to blame but himself for he chose the path to his own life and not Mine.

You may be able to determine your own path in this life but not in the life to come. You might have it our way in this life but not in the life to come.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. (Deuteronomy 30:19)

I received an email from an intercessor for a faithful prophetic ministry who has blown the trumpet to the nations for many years. This is a word she received this morning. Please heed these prophetic warnings from God’s true prophets. When God’s true prophets sounded the alarm in times past, their words were never comforting but convicting.

This is the day of the Lord.  Why do you think that judgment would not be passed upon you?  Do you think that I have not heard the cries of the innocent?  Do you not think that I do not see the brokenness of the masses? 

 How can you as a nation be so arrogant that you would believe that I, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords would not seek justice for my people?  The blood that has been spilt is so deep that it can no longer be ignored. 

My children make yourselves ready for me. Clean your homes, cast away all those things that hold you here on earth, for I the Lord your God will be taking all those things away.  Take your last look around you, for you have chosen to ignore me, so I will cast all those things into the sea.  The earth will shake the sky will burn, your ears will ring of the sound of war.  There is no place to run, there is no place to hide. 

I am a just and righteous God.  I created the universe and I know every star by name so why do you think that you can hide your faces from me.

Repent for the hour is at hand.  Cry out for your judgment draws nigh.  Cry out to me and repent for my judgment will be quick, and clear.  No one will question that the hand of God was against you.  I will no longer look down upon you and have mercy for those who continue in their sin. 

The hour has come, the die has been cast, I have written this day in stone, If only you had listened to my word, if only you had loved me enough to seek me, if only you had been broken enough to repent, my judgment would not have had to be this way. 

Cry out and repent, cry out for the innocent, cry out for now blood will flow like a river in your streets.  Cry out for there will be no one to plead your case.

Why have you not listened to all the warnings I have given you?  I gave my life so that you might live and live abundantly.  The hour is at hand, the days will be shortened, and many will be gone in a moment. 

My children cover yourselves in prayer and fasting.  Anoint your homes with oil.  Seek me without ceasing, for those who are mine have been marked.  Do not stop seeking me and interceding, for I will always hear my children when they cry out to me.  Be ready, the hour is here.

This is a question all of us must consider and answer. Will we find “Comfort in the Flame”?

We must separate ourselves from the dross or we will be the dross He separates. Nothing will satisfy the Refiner but 24 Karat gold. The Father will be satisfied with nothing but a spotless Bride for his Son.

It’s purity He’s after and purity He will get. Only the pure in heart will see God. Without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Our desire to be like Him will allow us to desire the flame. This is the only way we will find comfort in the flame.

The three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, found comfort in the flame. When the uncompromised were heated, their desire to be molded into their Creator’s image rather than the world’s, kept them from being consumed in the flame. Their hearts were made of refined gold before they ever entered the oven. Although their hands were bound, their hearts weren’t.

Will we welcome the flame or avoid it? Are we afraid of it because we’re afraid it will consume rather than refine?

God wants to gather his grain into the barn and burn the chaff. Will we be the grain He gathers or the chaff He consumes?

The Refiner is coming. The Potter is about to put His clay workmanship into the kiln to finish His work. Are we willing to become His finished workmanship?

Every comfort zone is about to leave. The fire that is coming will do just that. We must willingly leave our comfort zone or our comfort zone will leave us. We will either look forward to and welcome the process the heat will bring or we will resent it.

Every hidden attitude and motive will be revealed. Our attitudes will expose the hidden things of what we’re truly made of. The Refiner’s fire will make sure of that.

The Truth exposes everything. Will we welcome the refining Truth or reject Him. The Refiner’s fire is coming and is now upon us.

It will be best for all to find comfort in the flame.

November 4, 2014 (Part 2) Dream

This morning I woke up before the sunrise and was impressed to write a word to those who call themselves prophets but won’t hear the truth to tell the truth. As I began to write the word, the word that kept repeating was “Today is D-Day”. It’s Election Day for man but D-Day for God. Today, God is making decisions. It’s Decision Day.

Then I went back to bed to get a little more sleep but somehow knew I was going to have a dream and asked God to speak to me. I dreamed and what I remember is that I was inside a building that looked like a school building. I was on the upper floor warning people though I never saw anyone. I knew it was time to leave the building and was heading for where I knew the stairs were located.

As I was making my way for the stairs, I passed by a door with a narrow vertical window. On the other side of the window was a man with a very stern, serious look on his face and never acknowledged me as I went by, but looked straight ahead. He was holding a small hammer in his hand poised to use it to break the glass. The window reminded me of the glass window of an enclosed fire extinguisher. I knew that as soon as he broke the glass, an alarm would go off.

I rushed to get down the stairs but when I arrived at the location of the stairs, the stairs were gone and the hallway just led to a dead end. Then I woke up.

After I awoke, I felt very strongly that the man with the hammer in his hand wasn’t a man but an angel. When he breaks the glass, the alarm will go off because the fire has already begun and there is no way of escape.

November 4, 2014 

This is a word that came to me this morning and is a rebuke for those who consider themselves prophets given the assignment to declare the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Many prophetic voices are declaring “peace and safety” instead of the truth of what is to come.

Will you not warn my people of the judgment that will surely come? Today is Election Day. It is a day of decisions, a day when choices are made. I have been waiting for my people to make a choice for me but few are declaring the choice that must be made. The choice that must be made is to repent.

My true and truthful prophets have always declared the truth to warn my people, to turn from their wicked ways, to declare that my righteousness and holiness must be revered; that I require righteousness and holiness from my people; that I will forgive them of their sins and iniquity if they will humble themselves and repent and turn back to me with their whole heart.

I have given many a voice to declare the truth. Who do you fear the most, man or me? “And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes I say unto you, Fear Him.” (Luke 12:4,5)

If you are determined to encourage my people, encourage them to trust that every word that proceeds from my mouth is true and that I will surely perform every word. If my first disciples were not immune from my judgment, no disciple or follower of mine will be. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord…no man.

Humble yourself before me this day and I will give you eye salve that you might see. Exchange what is precious to you for what is precious to me.

Time is short. It is decision day. Who will you stand before to give account of your life…man or me? Who do you fear more?

If you truly desire to be an encourager, your decision to make the right choice will encourage others to make the right choice.

Time is short. It’s D-Day, a day of decisions. What will it be…pride or humility, your righteousness or mine, your justification or mine? It’s D-Day.

Do you want to exhort my people? Exhort them to repent. Exhort them to return to their first love, for the love of many has grown cold toward me. Their love for this world has replaced their love for me. Their love for the praise of man has replaced their love for my praise.

Tell them to turn back to me with their whole heart or suffer with the ungodly and worldly. The blood of the innocent cries to the heavens for justice and justice will be served if my people refuse to repent.

Justice will be served by sword, by pestilence, by famine, and by war. No one will escape. I am a holy and righteous God. I change not. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.

If my people will not raise a righteous standard, I will. It’s D-Day.

You have been given a voice to the people. Use that voice to tell my people to repent and turn back to me with their whole heart and I will forgive them of their sin and their reproach.

Today is the day. Today, if you hear my voice, harden not your heart.

There has always been a day of decision. There was a D-Day the day I shut the door to the Ark of Noah and sealed the fate of those on the outside as well as those on the inside. It might not have begun to rain immediately but the decision was made.

Today is D-Day.

October 30, 2014

Who will the Lord take care of and preserve during the coming time of testing? Will it be the prepared or the presumptuous? Will it be the obedient or the disobedient? Will it be the awake or the asleep?

Right now a voice is crying out, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” It is crying in the wilderness now because the voice has been rejected in the city and marketplace. The voice has been rejected by the multitudes and now has gone out into the highways and byways to compel anyone to come with ears to hear the truth and a heart to obey.

Many today have presumed they are God’s children but have no fruit to prove that they are truly God’s child. They are only filled with rebellion and idolatry proving they have a different father. They claim, “God will take care of us” not even knowing the God they speak of.

The God they claim to know is not the same God they think they know. The God they claim to know is a righteous and holy God who requires righteousness and holiness from His children. Those who claim to know Him don’t know they are the children of the God they serve.

Worldly children serve the God of this world. Only by acknowledging the error of their ways, repenting and turning from their wicked ways, will I protect them from what is to come. If they refuse to listen, repent and turn, then demise and destruction are their own doing and not mine.

I have come to judge sin on the earth and all those who refuse to let go of it. The hour is late and the voice is now in the wilderness crying, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.”

Will you refuse to hear and yield because you say in your heart, “I need not prepare. I am a child of the King. My father is Abraham, we are his seed.”

Is that your final answer because your time is almost up. If you cannot let go of what you are and who you are, if you cannot let go of what you have and what has you, then you have demonstrated your idols and false gods.

Will your reputation save you in the hour of testing? Will your possessions? Who can save you in that hour?

Your sense of security is false. Your sense of values is false. Your sense of direction is false because you have believed a lie. Your only hope is to repent and then cry out for mercy because the hour of mercy is nearly over.

The time is nearly here when your cries for mercy will not be heard. Though you cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear you.

The hour of judgment is almost here and still you refuse to turn from your wicked ways and your false gods. Your love for this world is your demonstration of your lack of love for me. Your lack of love for me will be demonstrated when you shake your fist and curse the heavens.

Is it not within your heart to repent even at this late hour?

Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. The King is coming.

October 20, 2014

I have been asking the Lord for more evidence and indicators that we are His Bride. I don’t want to be deceived thinking or assuming that I am His Bride only to find out that I’m not after it’s too late as the “foolish virgins” did in Matthew 25.

How do we know if we are the Bride of Christ?

If you really wanted to marry someone, would you not do all you could do to be pleasing to them? Would you not do all you could do to become the person they desired to be with? Wouldn’t you do this if you really desired to be with them?

The beauty of becoming the bride of Christ is that we aren’t competing with another person to become His bride, we’re competing with the person we were yesterday. We’re competing with the person we used to be as we die daily, as we die daily to the old nature; the old nature that desires to live for self, promote self, and please self.

Each new day we must deal with attitudes and actions that didn’t demonstrate and manifest the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the character of Jesus. Each day we must deal with attitudes and actions that demonstrated our desire to please our self and not our Heavenly Father.

If Jesus lived his life in such a way to please his Heavenly Father, shouldn’t we if we are to be his Bride? If the Father who dwells in the heavens declared from the heavens, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”, doesn’t it make sense that He desires to declare the same thing about His Son’s bride.

Who do you think will preside over Jesus’ wedding? Will Jesus preside over His own wedding ceremony or will another? If in this earthly realm, the father of the groom must approve of the bride, the Father of Jesus must do the same.

This is why as the Bride of Christ, we must live our lives in such a way to please out Heavenly Father. This is one more bit of evidence to indicated if we are truly His Bride.

October 18, 2014 

“We have entered a new time zone; a time where the obedience of one will judge the disobedience of another; a time where the selfless life of one will judge the selfish life of another.

God is raising a new standard. He will use the “dead wood” to ignite and consume the “live wood”. He will use those who are dead to self to expose and judge those still living for self. We are on God’s time clock now for His purpose and not our own.

The stakes are high now. Lives and souls are at stake. Playtime is over. It’s no longer come and go as you please. We have entered the “Ananias and Sapphira” time zone where the rebellious will be dealt with quickly.

My Holiness will be reverenced. My Glory is about to come upon the earth and I will be greatly feared. My Holiness will judge unholiness. That is why my preceding word has been given, for you to examine your hearts and judge yourselves, for if you will judge yourself, you shall not be judged.

If you refuse to judge yourself, you have chosen your own judgment.

Fall before me in brokenness and humility. Turn your heart toward me, your whole heart. Let King David be your model to guide you as a man after my own heart. Allow me to expose the sin in your life.

Sin is about to be judged in the earth and all those who embrace it. Release it now and flee from it. Turn your back on it and flee for your life because your life is at stake, not only this life but the life to come.

Will you not flee from your sin and run to me? I am waiting with open arms but your arms must be empty. You must come to me empty, empty of yourself, empty of your pride…empty.

Will you not abandon everything and run to me? I have long been waiting for your abandonment. I take no pleasure in stripping someone of everything but it gives me great pleasure when someone strips himself of everything.

The time is coming now when men’s lives will be stripped. If you will lay all that you have at my feet, it will be used for my purpose and your life as well. Great will be your reward.

If you refuse to lay at my feet who you are and what you have, I will use you as a good example of a bad example. You will be rewarded as Ananias and Sapphira.

Playtime is over. The harvest season has begun. It’s either get in or get out. The rewards shall be great for those who get in and only destruction awaits those who get out.

I am waiting. What will it be? Are you in our or are you out?”

October 15, 2014 

I had a dream of a peak of land releasing pressure with explosive force. When the pressure was released, it literally looked like a mouth spewing out a fire mist of particles like someone drinking something that tasted horrible, then spewing it our of their mouth. Then it saw it repeat but this time I could see the explosive force from the inside. 

After I awoke I heard the words, “I will vomit out the inhabitants.” I then began to ponder the commandments God gave Israel to not partake of the sin of the former inhabitants in Leviticus 18. These are the words that then came to me…

America was to be a land of righteousness but it is now become a den of thieves. The inhabitants have defiled the land. Therefore I will vomit them out suddenly. America has a stomach ache and no medicine will cure its ill. It has eaten poison and now its land will process its means of evacuation with explosive force. When the land becomes ill, nothing can hold back the forces of nature. The pressure must be released and it will be released.

America has eaten toxins and is now intoxicated. It has become drunk with its success. In its pride, it sits behind the driving wheel with a blood alcohol level off the charts. Sadly, the inhabitants sit peacefully in the bus not realizing the condition of the driver.

Destruction awaits around the next bend. My word says, “Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.” That goes for a nation as well.

How can a nation instill and incite war and not reap war? Who can embrace coals and not be burned? I created my laws to establish order. America has become a land out of order but my order will come. A lying spirit speaks peace and safety but destruction will surely come. Those who live in denial will not be able to deny my hand of judgment. Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

All mankind will be affected by my decision. Flee from the wrath to come because it will surely come. My decision will be undeniable. Deny your sin. Judgment is coming to this world and those who have embraced it.

Release it now and run to me. Run to my place of safety and refuge. I will hide you from the wrath to come. I will be your only hiding place.

October 14, 2014

This is a very sobering word the Lord spoke to me regarding the current time frame we are living in…

We have entered a new time zone. You have exited your time zone and now you’re on my time zone. No one comes and goes anywhere without my permission. No one. No one comes and goes as he pleases anymore. You must have my permission.

You were on “daylight savings” time zone for your purpose, now you’re on “night time” savings zone for my purpose. You have entered my time zone for my purpose. My purpose is to save the souls of men. Your purpose was to save your own time, my purpose is to save other’s.
 
You have entered the night when, without my light, no man can work. Now men will stumble in the dark without my light. Many who thought they were ready will soon find out they weren’t.
September 30, 2014

I have been asking the Lord to show me how we know if we are His Bride? Here’s what He said…

How do you know if you’re my bride? I’m the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning and the last thing on your mind when you go to bed at night. You don’t just say you love me; you’re in love with me. You don’t just love me in word; you love me indeed.

Are you really in love with me? What’s the first thing on your mind when you awake or the last thing on your mind when you go to bed? Is it your work or your pleasure? Is it what you have or what you don’t have? Is it the world or me? Is it your life or mine?

You may claim to love me but are you in love with me? Am I your treasure or is the world; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Identify your treasure now for everything that can be shaken will be shaken. The very foundations of men’s lives are about to be shaken to test what they have been made of. Everything not founded upon the Rock will be washed away. Many lives have been built upon sand.

Am I the foundation of your life? Have you built your life upon an eternal and lasting foundation or a world-loving, temporal foundation?

Check your lamp. Now is the time. Are you sure you have enough oil? Darkness is coming. Only those who hear now will see later. Will you be among those lost in the dark or will you find your way?

My bride doesn’t just love me; she’s in love with me. She loves my voice and every word that proceeds from my mouth. She responds when I call her and she will follow me anywhere. My bride has made herself ready.

September 11, 2014

The Price of Disobedience

Who can name the price of disobedience? That price isn’t determined by the disobedient but by the authority over the one disobedient. That price is determined by another one at another time and many times at another location. The price of disobedience comes in many forms. Sometimes the price is shame, sometimes guilt, sometimes remorse, sometimes depression, and sometimes death. But there’s always a price to pay.

A thief may walk away with what belongs to another but there’s always a price to pay. That price remains a mystery and will remain hidden to be revealed at a later date.

Many who claim to believe don’t understand nor can comprehend the ultimate price of disobedience. Just as the rewards of obedience are beyond comprehension, the ultimate consequences of disobedience cannot be comprehended either.

Can a man rob God? Aren’t His eyes greater than man’s. To allow the thought that we can get away with anything, that God’s sees not, is truly shortsighted and ill-advised. We will all receive the just reward for our good or our evil, for our obedience and disobedience.

There is a Judge in the heavens that can’t be seen but sees all and knows all. When you truly believe this, you will act as a “believer”. For someone to claim to believe but doesn’t really believe that God knows all and sees all, isn’t really a believer and therefore cannot act as a believer. Therefore their reward will be with those who never claimed to believe and will receive their portion with them.

Jesus qualified his true followers, those who truly believe. If Jesus passed by the majority of church-goers and said, “Follow Me”, the excuses would be no different than they were 2000 years ago. The excuses were nothing more than a manifestation of what a person valued.

Sometimes people meant more to themselves that Jesus meant to them. Sometimes their stuff meant more. The Lord recently spoke to me regarding the value we place on our stuff.

He said, “If your possessions mean more to you than me, then you can have them, but the price to keep them will be much more than you paid to get them.”

Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. To reject following and obeying Him is to reject life and well. The price tag on that ultimate act of disobedience is more than anyone can pay nor bear. No man can even comprehend the pain of their entire body consumed in flames nor can anyone comprehend that pain never ending.

The rejection of that possibility is why the world continues as it always has, enjoying life for the moment as it travels the broad path of disobedience.

How much is eternal life worth? Everything? How much will it cost us? Everything. How many are willing to pay the price? Few. Will you be among the few?

That is a determination we must make and remember that he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.

So throw the excuse book into the fire because if we don’t, He will. Toss it into the fire because our excuses will only excuse us from His presence.

If we are attached to our excuses, then when they go into the fire, we will as well. That is the ultimate price of disobedience.

It’s time to repent of our self-minded, rebellious ways and submit to His authority. For the rebellious will have their part in the lake of fire. The reward of the obedient is as incomprehensible as the punishment of the disobedient. 

God designed each of us to know the difference between obedience and disobedience as He gave each of us a conscious to convict our hearts when we do wrong. It has always been our compass to guide us in the storms of confusion between right and wrong, good and bad.

The question is whether we’ve harden and thereby numbed our conscious through unrepented disobedience or have we sensitized our conscious through repentance of disobedience and acts of obedience.

None of us have gotten away with anything. Repent therefore and be restored to your former condition.

Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; — Jeremiah 15:19

Repentance will restore your innocence and childlike trust. “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3)

September 3, 2014

Times are coming that will test the souls of man. Demons will be unleashed like never before. If you haven’t strengthened what remains before the unleashing, you certainly be carried away with temptation afterward.

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:20

That means that the “Christian” soul that sinneth, it shall die as well. Christians aren’t a special class of soul who get away with sinning. The blood of Jesus isn’t a “Get Out of Jail Free Card”. God’s Word is God’s Word. The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelations 21:5-8  

If you haven’t given your life to Jesus Christ, you will do all you can do to save your life. Only by giving up your life for him will you save it.

It’s time to do a home inspection. Have you really given Him your life or do you just think you have? Are you truly a follower of Him or are you merely a follower in word but not in deed?

If Jesus owns your life because you have willingly given Him your life, then He not only owns your life but all that you own. If He can’t direct your possessions at HIS will, then does He really own you?

If we won’t give up our possessions that will perish, then have we really given Him our heart and soul that won’t perish?

If He is our security and our future, why does our stuff provide such security? Do we own our stuff or does our stuff own us? Is our heart and soul the steward of our stuff or is our stuff the steward of our heart and soul?

Does the eternal steward the temporal or does the temporal steward the eternal?

It’s time for a “home inspection”. It’s time to inspect the foundation to see if the home will stand during the time of testing when everything that can be shaken will be shaken.

Any foundation not founded upon the Rock will be washed away when the storms arrive. The clouds are on the horizon and amassing daily, soon to be released.

If your heart is attached to the world and the things of this world, you will be washed away with the torrent.

Prepare, prepare! So little time to prepare. Many a heart will fail them because of fear. They have refused to heed my warnings and will be washed away when the storm arrives, for they did not prepare themselves in the day of my visitation.

Great will be their fall, tragically never to be rebuilt. Only a ruinous heap will remain and their torment will be incomprehensible, but the righteous will arise and My glory will rest upon them.

August 2, 2014

My life is offered to those willing to give up their own. I will not marry a prostitute, for the love of this world is enmity with Me. I seek those who love me, not hate me. Who would marry someone who hates them? Would you?

If you marry this world, you have chosen your mate, not only for this life but the life to come. You must divorce this world to marry me. I will not commit adultery. Those who love their life in this world will lose it and those who hate their life in this world will save it.

You cannot have it both ways. It’s either me or this world. You can’t have both.

Choose this day whom you will serve. If your soul longs for me, live like it. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. If your treasure is in the things of this world, your heart will be in this world and your eternal destiny will be in the heart of this world. If your treasures are in heaven, then your heart will be there also.

That is how you give me your heart, your whole heart. This is the difference between those who have truly given me their heart and those who have not. Those who truly love me, love me in word and deed.

Are you among those who love me with their mouth but whose heart is far from me?

If your heart is far from me now, it will be far from me forever. Repent therefore and return to me with your whole heart and I will forgive you of your adultery with this world. If you do not repent, all adulterers will have their part in the lake of fire.

Cleanse your hearts, you sinners, and purify yourself from this adulterous generation. This is a choice that you must make. I will cleanse you once you make this choice. If you choose this world, the god of this world will be your bride and you will go with him to his destination. Divorce him now and come away with me for this is the purpose of your creation, to be with me.

What is your destiny worth? What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul, and what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? The consequences of this choice will be unbearable.

I am the way, the truth, and the life. Love the truth and you will have life as well. To love the truth is to embrace the truth and the author of truth. To love a lie is to embrace a lie and the father of lies.

Divorce him now and come away with me. Let go of this world and the things of this world and come away with me.

Judgment is coming upon this world and those who have embraced it. Let go of it and it will let go of you.

Let go, let go, for the reapers are coming. Once a soul is reaped, they are the bride of whom they served…forever.

Let go, let go, for the world has a grip on many. You must let go of it for it to let go of you.

Many are lovers of pleasure and comfort and not lovers of Me. Deny yourself means deny yourself, for you cannot be my disciple and follow me unless you deny yourself.

If you do not deny yourself, you have chosen to love yourself more than me and you cannot be my disciple and follow me if you love anyone more than me. If your possessions mean more to you than me, then you can have them, but the price to keep them will be much more than you paid to get them.

Let go, let go, for time is short.

The wedding bells can be heard in the distance to those who have ears to hear. Those who follow me have ears to hear. Follow the sound of the bells, for this is why you have been following me. This is the destiny and purpose of your following, to arrive at my wedding.

These are those who paid the price to follow me to be my bride. This will be their eternal reward for those who gave up their life in this world to receive life in the world to come.

June 15, 2014 

A little over two years ago, the Lord said to me “Your nest is in the wrong forest”. When that happened, I could see that the forest was going to catch fire. That no matter how high the nest was located in the tree, no matter how well it was built, or how many down feathers it was lined with, my nest was going to burn along with the forest. It was either relocate my nest or watch it burn.

About a year ago, the Lord had me ask a friend of mine a question. My friend wanted to start a TV reality show to bring Christian values back to America. The question the Lord had me ask my friend was, “What time is it?”

As I was pondering that question the other day, I heard the Lord answer the question, “It’s too late”.

He continued to say…

“From the vantage point of the lookout tower, I see smoke. You might not see it from your prospective because you’re inside the forest. You may only smell it but I see it. The fire is on the border and moving inland fast.”

The fire has now begun and there are no firefighters. They have either retired or are AWOL. The winds are blowing inland. The spiritual drought has made the tinder dry and ripe for the fires of judgment.

America has gone into a deep sleep, a sleep filled with dreams of days gone by. An unreal world filled with “reality shows” although the real “reality show” is about to begin.

The “luxury liner” Titanic called America, the one that “not even God himself can sink”, has struck the iceberg. It’s either man the lifeboats or go down with the ship. The lack of lifeboats on board the Titanic represents the limited time to act. It’s not time to panic but time to act. It’s time to fall on your face before Almighty God and repent for your pride, repent for your slumber, repent for your lethargy, repent for seeking the things below instead of the things above.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. (Hosea 5:15)

It’s time to seek the face of God as it were your next and possibly your last breath of air. It’s time to hear from Him because only He can give the instructions necessary to save you. Hear and obey.

Time is short. The ship is taking water. It’s beginning to tilt. You may not be able to see it from your prospective but I can. Man the lifeboats. The hourglass is almost out of sand.”

How can the lost save the lost? Only the found can find the lost. Only those with my love have a heart to find the lost. It’s my love that compels them. It’s my love that motivates and inspires.

When you are found, you are compelled to find. I live within my believers. They live to fulfill my desires. The devil lives within his believers, living to fulfill his desires. Whose desires are you fulfilling?

You may think your desires originate from yourself but you are only a vessel to fulfill the desire and purpose one of two kingdoms.

You are the servant to whom you obey. Whose desires are you the servant of?

If you desire to be my servant, take delight in me and I will give you my desires. I will give you my heart and my passion but you must seek me with all of your heart. If you will seek me with all of your heart, I will be found… and you as well.

This is a word my wife received…

The plan of the enemy is to be so subtle, you believe it is you!

The Battle Plan-
*If it is contrary to the character of God- cast it off!
*If it is contrary to God’s will for your life- reject it!

To deceive the body of Christ, including leaders, Satan must make the people of God believe what they are feeling are their own desires: being bored with the things of God, falling asleep, lack of desire to plug in and serve as directed by God, division and strife within marriages, depression, unworthiness, not loved or appreciated, all alone, no one cares, anger, resentment, rebellion, clashing of personalities to cause a wedge, questioning, doubting, challenging the Word of God as the final supreme authority and final word, the thought I just don’t believe this stuff any more…To mention a few!

I say to you take off that filthy garment. It is contrary to whom I have called you to be. DO NOT BE DECEIVED! If you are taking on something contrary to my character- cast it off! Do you not know you were made in my image? Do not accept or embrace it as who you are. I tell you cast it off, reject it. SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS- a demon! Boldly take authority over it, for you have been given all power and authority- WALK IN IT! Reject it and cast it off. Put on my garment of purity, righteousness, and praise.
AGAIN I say to you if it is contrary to my character cast it off and walk in newness of life, life that is more abundant. Be my reflection here on Earth.

“It’s time to mobilize and take your orders from the Commander in Chief. Have you not yet learned to take orders from the Commander?

The rebellious will be court-martialed. The fearful will flee from the enemy and be consumed from behind. The complacent will miss their call of duty and be considered AWOL.

War is on its way. Can you not hear the drums beating even now?

The natural realm is only a manifestation of the spiritual realm. What is seen is only a manifestation of what can’t be seen.

Will you take your position? Will you be as King David, although just a lad, and run to your enemy. He knew his God. Do you know yours? Those who know their God will be strong and do exploits.

The time for preparation is nearly over. Strengthen what remains. Get into my Word like a starving man. Eat my Word as manna from heaven. Know my Word that you might identify and know my voice.

My voice is what will guide you. My voice is what will lighten your path and keep you from stumbling in the dark. For night time is coming and many aren’t prepared for the dark.

Know my voice, for it will guide the blind man who knows he can’t see. The pride of those who think they see will find their lamps have no oil, their flashlights have become dim and even dead. In their pride and false sense of confidence, they won’t realize the batteries are dead until the moment they need them.

If you will get before me in brokenness and humility and fall at my feet, my presence will charge your batteries and fill your lamps. I will restore your soul.

Come now. Come before me, all who have wearied themselves from laboring without me. I will restore you and revive you. I will give you rest. I will give you peace in the midst of the storm.

Fear not. Get into the boat now. It’s time to cross to the lake. The other side awaits you. The storm is coming but I will be with you in the midst of the storm.”

“So many aren’t prepared for what is to come. They live in a state of denial not only about themselves but the world they live in. They live in a world that doesn’t exist because they think they are someone who doesn’t exist. They believe they have a relationship that doesn’t exist.

Their dream is about to end. The real world is about to arrive. Every man is about to find out who they really are.

Now is the time to awaken from your slumber and find out who you really are. It’s time to discover the world you really live in.

Denial is deadly, not only for this lifetime but the life to come.

The only way to awaken from this dream is to repent. The only way to find out who you really are is to humble yourself and admit you are wrong.

Pride will blind the eyes of what you see on the inside as well as what you see on the outside.

Now is the time to change into who I created you to be. Prepare, prepare for so little time is left to prepare. The bridegroom is coming. So little oil, so little oil. Fill your lamps. Repent, humble yourself. Obey my voice. Turn from your wicked ways.

Now is the time to find out who you really are. The harvest is about to begin. Separate yourself from the chaff or you will be the chaff I separate.

My grain I will gather but the chaff will be burned with unquenchable fire.
The hour is coming and now is when the dead will hear my voice and they that hear shall live. Will you be among those who hear?

The world will change with or without you. I desire to change the world with you but I will find another if you won’t answer your call. I can change the world with few or with many.

Don’t miss your opportunity, for it will come and it will go. The plane will depart with or without you. Once the door is shut, it is shut and no man can open it.”

On March 13, 2014, Maurice Sklar had a very powerful, prophetic dream regarding events that are soon to take place in America. For those still living in America, if you have ears to hear, please take heed to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.  Time is short.

This is what he wrote…

This week I had a dream. It was a terribly frightening dream. In it, I saw a huge angel standing suspended in the air over New York harbor. It looked so large that it covered the night sky. His body was clad in golden armor as if he was going to war. His face and entire being were so bright that I could not gaze up at him for long. White beams of light seemed to radiate outward from him in all directions. He was standing over the Statue of Liberty. It was night, but I could hardly see the lights around him coming from New York City as he blazed so brightly with divine light.

He reached for his belt that was covered with a red sash around his mid section, and drew out his sword. It was so massive! It blazed with light and fire all around it. It looked at least 100 feet long! I have never felt such fear when I saw an angel before. I just knew this mighty warring spirit had authority from the very throne of God. He had a grim expression as he held this mighty sword over his head with both hands. I could see that he was poised to hit the Statue of Liberty and cleave it in two! I trembled and tried to hide, but the angel was looking directly at me, and I knew there was nowhere to go that he would not see me.

Then he spoke! His voice was like thunder and echoed throughout the whole harbor.

“How long will you refuse to humble yourself, O America! You have been weighed in the balances of God and found wanting. Your beginning was great and noble, but your end shall be disgrace and destruction!

Thus saith the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the LORD of Hosts,

‘Time is running out. The bowls of My wrath are full of My fury and judgment. They shall be poured out upon you. You shall drink them down…to the dregs…every drop! I have come to you day and night pleading with you to return to Me for over one hundred years. I am merciful and long suffering. It brings Me no joy to judge you. But, you have hardened your hearts, scoffed at My warnings through My prophets, and my holy servants.

I brought you from nothing and exalted you, O America, higher than any other nation! But now you have fallen lower than Sodom. You have sinned greater than Egypt. You have become prouder than Babylon and Persia. You have become more selfish than Rome. You have exalted yourself in your own wisdom higher than Greece. You have more idols and high places of idolatry and luxury than any Gentile kingdom in history.

Your beginning was pure and great, but now the stench of your sin and filth fills My nostrils! I shall cut you in pieces and you shall reap the harvests of wrath from what you have sown! You shall no longer be the Queen of nations. Now you shall bear your shame and become the lowest of the heathen nations! Now, as Agag, you shall be hacked in pieces! O EARTH, EARTH, EARTH, HEAR YE THE WORD OF THE LORD!”

Then, to my horror, that massive sword came smashing down on Lady Liberty. When it hit the top of her head, there was a blinding flash of light and that sword split her in two – right down the middle! Then the sword came again and again against her. It divided her in pieces. As the sword would finish each strike, fires would burst forth. I heard terrible explosions. The vision of the Statue ended with an earthquake as it was hacked into pieces and sunk into the harbor.

I was weeping and crying out to God for mercy. Never had I seen this side of God before. I had only really known the love and goodness of Him, never had I seen the Wrath of the Almighty!

Then, as if I was watching from a zoomed-in close up…the dream shifted and I started to zoom outward from New York harbor and started traveling in the air over America.  What I saw was horror beyond anything I have ever seen! I saw the United States seem to crack in two with a giant earthquake – right down the middle! I saw the Southeastern United States covered with a giant wave of water from the ocean. I saw a massive earthquake that just seemed to crack off the coast of California. It reminded me of a Saltine cracker that just cracked in two! The great cities along the West coast just fell into the ocean, all the way from Mexico up to Alaska and giant waves flooded inland until much of the West Coast just wasn’t there! It had disappeared into the Pacific Ocean.

Then I saw three giant rocket missiles that took off into the air. Two came from out of the ocean waters, and one came from land and traveled a great distance. All of them blew up in the air one, two, and THREE in the upper atmosphere within five minutes of each other. It was out near space. They were terrible nuclear bombs. But the last one was the biggest and it created a huge mushroom cloud over the Midwest part of America. Then the ground shook and everything just went black. There wasn’t any electric light coming out of any homes. Then candles began to be lit and fires, and a little light was seen. There were other nuclear explosions, and many people perished throughout the nation. There was just twisted metal and charred debris in cities that once were tall and majestic.

There was widespread looting and gangs roaming about everywhere with guns, stealing whatever food and supplies they could find. Then I saw what looked like elite riot police by the thousands go into communities and even cities, force the people out of their homes, and brought into what looked like concentration camps.  Some, but not all of these “police armies” had light blue helmets on.  Hundreds of thousands of people were arrested in this way. Many would not “cooperate” and were just shot and left dead in their homes.

But, there were millions of hidden groups that escaped the first wave of these terrible disasters. Revival broke out, and great evangelists and prophets and apostles rose up and began to preach to thousands out doors, and many were saved and were born again. Miracles of provision, multiplication of food and water, and astonishing healings occurred. Millions of people cried out to God and He heard and answered.

I knew that this was not just happening in America, but the Great Tribulation was upon them, and all over the world these calamities were also taking place.

I saw multitudes of Tribulation saints refusing to renounce Jesus as LORD. They were starving, many of them, but still refused to take the stamp on their bodies so they could eat and live. There was what looked like kiosks that were in every little town. They advertised food and water but only if you went inside them and took the electronic mark. Some went in, bowed down to a holographic movie image of the Antichrist and were branded in their hands and foreheads with an electronic tattoo-like stamp. When they came out, if they came out, they had a zombie-like look. Their minds and souls were gone. It looked like they had a spiritual lobotomy.

Then these immediately joined the armies of those police units, and were given weapons after they were fed and drank and rested in the kiosk. They were like robots doing the Antichrist’s bidding. I knew that they were lost forever. But, quite a few did not make it out. They were tortured mentally and physically inside the kiosk thing, but, if they still refused the mark of the beast, there was a laser that shot through their brain and heart, and sliced their heads off. Then they were immediately incinerated. Nothing but ashes remained.

This was the most horrifying of all. It made the Nazi death camps look like a picnic, if that is possible. Millions of people were executed in this way via computer systems automatically with such precision and efficiency that I marveled that something like this was even possible and could take place on such a large scale. The technology was more advanced than I had ever seen.

Then, I was back looking at that terrible angel of the LORD, and he said,

“Warn everyone! Flee from the wrath to come. Repent and turn to Jesus while you still can. Pray that you may escape these things that are shortly to happen, and to stand in the Presence of the LORD. These things are about to take place! Turn to God and cry out for mercy. Come into the ark of Salvation before the doors of grace close and it is too late!”

Be a Defender of My Word…
A large majority of today’s apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers have watered down My Words in such gross proportions it no longer is My Word. The words they preach lack the power to transform lives. Instead, it allows the people to continue in their sins
with a false sense of security that all is well with their soul.
KID you not – Do Not Be Deceived.
If they continue to ignore the truth, I will separate them from my sheep that hear and obey my voice.
Their souls will be found in Hell unless they repent, turn from their wicked ways, and obey My Word.
I am coming for a spotless bride.
A false bride who chooses to chase after empty words, lacking in life changing sustenance, will not be called My Bride.
This false bride has chosen to feast on false doctrine allowing her to soak in filth.
WHY? For convenience.
It is the easy, broad road, filled with “fun times” along the way. All the while hiding the pain, depression, emptiness, and loneliness
that is inevitable when one chooses to walk away from their one true love to take the hand of another. This false bride has chosen doctrines of demons over My Word.

My Word exposes darkness, delivers the captives and sets them free, heals the broken hearted, strengthens where there is weakness, bathes them in refreshing, cleansing, newness of life, preparing them to be my spotless bride.

My Bride-to-Be:
Walks with confidence because I have laid down my life
with unfailing, unwavering, unconditional love for her;
Walks in confidence because I have and will continue

to guard, guild, and protect her;
Walks in confidence that she is called by my side

to be a help meet to carry out my plans;
Walks in authority to possess the land which I have given her.
My Bride is Spotless,
free from the bondages of Satan, free from sin.

My Bride is the one who hears my voice,
who hears my Word, and obeys.

Now do you see the strategy of the enemy, and the reason he has deceived the very elect leaders, apostles, pastors, evangelists, prophets, and teachers?
His strategy is to give the people charismatic leaders (who have bit the bait of temporal fame and fortune) who are delivering a watered down gospel in order to lead many astray.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
I have called you to be salt and light.
Salt watered down to this extreme loses its ability to cleanse and heal wounds.
Light filtered to this extreme loses its ability to guide the way
in the midst of darkness.

Now Do You See My Strategy?
It is called being a Defender of My Word

So this is who I have called you to be.
From the foundations of the earth, in the light of eternity, I have chosen and ordained you for this time, because I believe in who I have formed you to be-
A deliverer of uncompromising faith, who walks in my authority during a day and age when the enemy has watered down My Word, compromised my standards to lead people to Hell, even the very elect.
So Defender of My Word

I Am calling on you

To take your rightful position to:
Expose the darkness
Deliver the captive
Release healing to the broken hearted
Lead them to salvation
Fill them with the Holy Spirit
Anoint the believer for authority
to possess the Land

There is coming a great persecution against the church. We can either choose to be a prisoner of God or a prisoner of man.  Now’s the time to choose whose prisoner we will be. If you choose not to be the prisoner of God, you will become the prisoner of man.

There will be revival for the hungry but judgment for the sleeping. Watch ye therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and stand before the Son of man. (Luke 21:36)

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH! (Mark 13:35-37)

It’s not enough to just keep yourself pure. Obedience must be combined with purity. There were ten virgins awaiting the bridegroom but only the wise virgins who were ready and went in with him to the marriage. The foolish ones, although virgins, were not allowed to enter as their lamps had run out of oil. (Matthew 25)

Obedience will be your extra oil.

The Lord spoke to my wife this morning to dig deep into 2 Chronicles 7:14 from the Hebrew.

“If my people, who are called (called out, invited, biddened) by my name shall humble (to bend the knee, humiliate, bring down low into subjection, subdue) themselves and pray (to judge officially or mentally, to intercede, pray, make supplication) and seek (search out, by any method-worship, strive after, ask, beg, desire) my face and turn (repent, withdraw) from their wicked (good for nothing, evil, mischief, misery, noisome, obnoxious, objectionable- tending to cause disapproval or protest, sad, sorrowful, troubled, wretched, wrong) ways, then I will hear (hear carefully, attentively, obediently- “remind me of my promises”) from heaven and will forgive their sin (offense and its penalty) and will heal (thoroughly make whole) their land.”

Then spoke these words…”I am stretching out my hand of mercy to you. Do not neglect or overlook the small areas for a little leaven leavens the whole lump. The little foxes spoil the whole vine. You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? Only YOU will stand before me ALONE. I desire for you to hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).

“Clean house! Allow me to search your hearts for I know the hidden areas. Allow me draw them out so I can heal them. Then you can be all I have called you to be. I am coming for a spotless bride. Those things I tell you to do will not only prepare you as a spotless bride but it will lead the way and draw others to be my bride. The little leaven you allow in your own life hinders my light from shining through you. It hinders you from being a beacon to warn and direct others.”

“Let me search your heart. I love you. Let me search your heart. For I know the plans, the way, the truth. Let me search your heart. I do not want any hindrances. If you allow me to dig deep into the hidden areas and draw them out to bring healing, my anointing will flow with such fluidity it will break the yokes and bondages that hold the people captive.”

“You have yet to see what I desire to do in and through you. I want unobstructed, unhindered vessels to allow my anointing to flow through. Most of you are hearing these words and saying yes and amen as you think of how this could benefit those who haven’t humbled themselves. However I am talking to you.”

“DO NOT MISS THIS! You have not experienced all that I have for you. Do not be satisfied nor content. Are people convicted of their sin when you walk by? Are they healed when your shadow casts over them or when they touch your clothing? Are the dead raised? Do the blind see, the deaf hear, and the lame walk?”

“I have so much more that I want to do in and through you. Allow me to consume the chaff. Study my word. Are you walking as my Son walked? Are you a reflection of Him? Do you get moved in the midst of the storm? The things you saw Him do are you doing? Allow me to consume the chaff that hinders. Allow me to search your heart.”

walking_alone_on_long_road-other-300x120

Jesus said in Matthew 7:14, “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that FIND it.” To “find” something, you have to “look” for something. Many who look for the Kingdom won’t find it due to their lack of obedience. The Lord gave me a vision of the narrow road. It was a road that narrowed as if you were looking at a road that narrowed into the distance.

When I saw the vision, the Lord spoke to me saying, “What you’re seeing is not an optical illusion.” I somehow knew what the meaning was of what I was seeing. The further I walked with Him, the more restrictive the road would become and more obedience would be required of me.

I would be more and more accountable to what I knew and would be required to live it out in my own life. To stay in the middle of the road and keep my eyes focused on the end of the road, on the prize for my obedience. That my life is no longer my own and even if the end of my road comes as a result of someone else taking me be the hand to leading me where I don’t want to go, as was Peter’s in John 21:18, that act of ultimate obedience would be the vanishing point of my life too.

I know God is looking among His people today who He can use in these last days who will give Him a commitment no matter what the cost, even unto death.

This is the key that will make us fearless in these last days, allowing God to use in a mighty way.

This is a word given by the Lord to my wife….

If my people… (II Chronicles 7:14)

I am coming for a spotless Bride without wrinkle. … Repent!

For the time has come to clean house. I am disgusted with my people whom I have called to be holy. Define Holy?

Are you so proud as to say, “I am a Christian, I am Heaven bound?” Do you not know my word? Repent! Turn from your wicked ways. Seek my face as desperately as a fish out of water wanting to return to its life support, as a tree uprooted withering, striving to dig its roots deep into the soil to support its life.

Many of you say, “Lord, Lord”, but I do not know you. You raise your hands and appear to praise me but you are far from me. The cares and concerns of this world consume your thoughts.

I am a jealous God. I desire to be in the center of your thoughts. Turn to me. See what I can do to your enemies. See how I can make a way where there seems to be no way.

I desire to be the Lord of Lords and King of Kings of your life. I have provided a way for you to boldly approach me and enter my throne room.

It is through the blood of Jesus, but you have mocked me therefore I am disgusted with your abuse, parading around as if you are washed spotless yet you wallow in the sins of the flesh.

My judgment will be harsh. My judgment will be swift.

Your only protection is to put away the old sin nature, walk in purity, tenderize your heart so that what delights me delights you and what repulses me repulses you.

I have given you all that you need to be victorious.

I believe in you for this time and hour but you must be aware of the sin that ensnares you. I have given you a way of escape. Ask me. I will highlight those areas that will destroy your well-being. I will give you the power and strength to overcome. I have made a way for you.

HUMILITY IS THE KEY! Without me you can do NOTHING. REPENT!

Are you going to dive in and be engulfed and consumed by my presence? Are you going to dig your roots deep so no matter what storm blows your way, you will not be uprooted?

I have made a way for you. CONSECRATE and set yourself apart to me.

I love you and it hurts to see you struggling. I so desire for you to fulfill my plans, my purpose for why you were created. It is the greatest fulfillment and satisfaction you will ever know…doing the will of the Father.

It will nourish, satisfy, strengthen, replenish, and refresh you to carry on in fullness of power. I have made a way. You must pursue me. You must put away the old sin nature.

Invite me in to search your heart. I will highlight those areas that will hinder, some will even destroy you. Some are from so long ago you have buried them deeply to mask the pain.

I want to set you free so you can be all I have called you to be.

HUMBLE yourself. CONSECRATE yourself to me. I WILL MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY.

Because I love you! I HAVE A PLAN!

    Excellent word! I’m going to use part of the Feb 18th word as a focal point for our Basking In His Presence session this afternoon. We so need God to search our heart and reveal the hidden areas that need to be healed and/or removed from our life.
