Prophesies
May 28, 2000
These are the words He said to speak to those who have
endured the fires and trials throughout the years, who have known
great heartache and pain throughout past years. He is
saying to those who have endured and not fainted that He knows
what pain you have had to endure for Him, and although you may
have lost much in this world because you have loved Him more than
your own life or things which you possessed in this world, to
those this day, He is bringing forth waves of rain and oil to
fall on you to refresh your soul and heart.
Waves of Rain Falling from Heaven
Last night,
as I was seeking the Lord, I saw sheets of oil and rain, gently
falling, but in these incredible waves, it was as if the wind
were blowing them, making them to appear as waves as they fell
down being blown gently by the wind that was behind them.
They fell in most beautiful sheets of shimmering rain, in colors
as I had never seen, that glistening with the colors of heaven,
yet billowed in waves as they came down from heaven. The
waves fell and covered me with this gentleness and love and peace
that I was so refreshed, as never had I been. As they fell over
me I watched many come down and fall on the saints on earth.
Billows of waves of sheets of glistening rain fell from heaven,
as I looked up and saw his wonder and his love for the saints. He
said speak this to those who have been hurt and have needed to be
refreshed by these rains. And so I give this forth to those
who have had to endure much pain for Him. To those, He is
sending forth this refreshment to your souls, to your spirit, to
your body, for you are tired and hurting and He wants to refresh
you as you have never known before. Come and take that
which He has for you. He wants to wash you and wash you
over with the refreshment of the rains and oil from heaven this
day. Peace shall fill you and overcome you as you enjoy the
fruits of heaven for you soul this day.
"I am sending forth these waves of oil and rain to refresh
you. These my child are the refreshing rains which I have
promised to those who have not faltered, or given up in the midst
of all their trials, but my praises have continually come
forth from their mouths even in the midst of their worst trials.
For those who have endured the battle for so long, I am sending
forth these waves of rain and oil to refresh you with great
refreshment. For all those who have had to endure the most,
for those who have known only heartache, when all they have
given forth is love to this world, this is for each of you.
I am sending this forth to refresh you and to give you the
gentle waves of my refreshment from heaven. Come into the throne
room and let me wash you over with the gentle rain and oil of
heaven to refresh your brow. Let me wash you with this gentle
rain and refresh your spirit as only I can do. I am bringing
you into a time of Great REST, and GREAT REFRESHMENT IN THE
SPIRIT!!!! "
For these are the days of rejoicing as the Lord pours out of
heaven the rains of oil and rain upon those who have had their
hands lifted up to Him in Holy Praise and worship even in the
midst of their worst trials and fires, they have never stopped
Praising His Name.
I saw gentle sheets of rains falling upon their heads and their
faces glistened with the oil that fell from heaven as they
continued to praise Him and lifted up their hearts to him in
Praise and Rejoicing for He is the Joy and Rejoicing of their
hearts. They know no other joy, but the Joy which He has given
them upon this earth. As I watched, and my heart cried with the
tears from heaven, all I could do was praise him and thank Him
for what he was doing all over the earth, to so many who had been
in the desert for so many days now. As they looked up they opened
their mouths, and he refreshed their parched mouth and lips and
refreshed their hearts with these rains. For the Lord
says to you this day, you will thirst no longer, for I am filling
you in the desert to overflowing with this refreshing water.
For this day I am sending forth my rains unto those dry and
parched places, unto the hearts who have cried unto me the most,
"Send me rain, we thirst so much, our mouths are dry and
cracked from the dry parched deserts where we have been."
For the rains shall begin to fall upon the desert to which I have
sent them and out of the dry parched deserts will begin to bloom
beautiful flowers, that will come forth out of these places as
they drink of the waters of my spirit, their flowers will bloom
in the deserts where they have sent by Me.
To those who are thirsty, I say, come and I will give you water
to drink that shall refresh you like you have never known before,
you will no longer be thirsty, but you will be satisfied in these
latter rains that are beginning to fall now upon you.
A Different Drumbeat
May 25, 2000
I felt in my spirit today a different sets of drums, a different
cry than before of the spirit, a different beat of the drums. I
knew then that even I had become accustomed to the old ways
already-the way his spirit moved in me. But He was now drawing me
away again to his presence for this new song, saying to me, this
is a new beat, a new song, it is the song of the prophets which I
am beating on the drums from heaven. He said unto me, I want you
to listen and hear my voice in a new way, with this new song. It
will be like nothing you have heard before. It is the new song
being beat on the drum.. Listen and learn the voice of the spirit
in this moment, in this day and in this hour. For again, I say to
you the winds of change are blowing, and sweeping across the land.
I am speaking a new song to you this day, so come and listen and
come closer to hear the new song that is being sung.
Speak this forth to all my warriors, for this is the words of the
Lord this day, He said to me, May 23, 2000.
"So many of you have become accustomed to the ways of the
spirit from before. So many of you are feeling misplaced in this
new shift of the spirit right this very day even. That feeling of
being lost and out of place is because there has been a shift in
the ways of the spirit, there has been a shift in the way the
winds of the spirit are blowing this day. There is a different
drumbeat sounding forth, not as before. Not like anything you
have ever heard before this day.
I am calling you out of complacency, out of the dool drums which
you have been feeling lately. Wake up you sleeping warriors,
awaken to the drumbeat of heaven as it sounds forth today.. Wake
I say to you have been asleep, awake and listen to what the
spirit is saying this day.. come and hear the new drumbeat from
heaven, the sounds of war, the new sounds of praise being played..
come and hear the sound that I am playing for you this day..I am
doing this for a purpose, to make you draw away from what you
have known and have gotten familiar with, this is a new day and
new hour, and this fresh and new and not at all like you have
known before. Let me teach you the fresh sounds of the drumbeat
from heaven this day.. Come out of those places you have gotten
used to, draw out of the safe places of comfort.. I am not a God
of comfort.. I want to do a new thing in you. But you must seek
me in this day ---like never before. You must learn to flow in
the newness of the way my spirit is now flowing. Draw unto me,
come in closer, don't stop before you have fully entered into
this new place I have for you.. come and rest within this perfect
peace that I have for you hear.
Come into the inner place of my sanctuary, dwell with me, I want
to teach you so many things now.. the time is growing shorter
each day, you must not waste the time, but you must guard it as
if it were precious now, time is accelerating now even faster, so
you must come into my presence so I may teach you the things
which you are to do now.
I am sounding a new beat, a new drum beat this day.
Faith to Move Mountains

Gloria Shepherd ~ May 14, 2000
Thus sayeth the Lord, I am calling out to those who have ears to hear this day.. Will you come and receive the power that I have to give you in this day? Come and receive that which I am giving forth to those who will come boldly before me and take up that which I have to give them. I am the Lord of Hosts, and I am calling forth the spirit of Elijah into the land. Rise up oh Mighty Warriors and receive that which I have to given to you in this day. For you are called to take the mantle of Elijah and even more that I have for you to receive from me. Come and take that which belongs to you in this day.. For these days that are coming are going to be days of my mighty power and glory upon this earth, as the earth will be filled with gross darkness, my power and glory shall shine forth as the noon day bright, unto the ones who you will minister too.
My power and light shall shine forth from all those that take the power which I am unleashing from heaven this day.. Come and receive that which I have to give you this day. This is the power of the lightening rod from heaven that is being unleased this day to my warriors. Come and take that which I have for you to take.. Come before the throne with boldness and take that which is yours to take. You are the warriors of mighty power which shall go forth in the power of Elijah upon this earth in these days.
Major
Heart Surgery
May 13, 2000
I was
reminded tonight of my Father's love for each one of us. It
is a love so deep that I began to cry as He showed me his heart
of love for his children. He hurts when we hurt. He
said to me- I want to take away all the hurts from my children
with major heart surgery this day. So many of my kids have
such deep wounds, that they have not brought to me. I want
to begin healing those wounds this day, if they will come to me.
He is a Father of Love. He cries and weeps so deeply and grieves
for each of his children. He let me feel his deepest love today
for each one of his children, the grieving of his heart for the
ones who are hurting so. He wants to come in and do a major
work in those hurting hearts beginning today.
He began to show me the saints, the warriors, his kids...and how
so many are still hurting so deep from the past hurts. How
so many of us have bandaged those wounds over and over, but never
let Him come in and do a work in your heart. He wants to
begin to heal those wounds that are festering so deep inside,
with layers of dirty bandages on top this day, if you will bring
yourself to Him. Jesus is waiting at the door of your heart,
waiting for you to let him come in and begin to heal those pains
and hurts.
He showed me all of these warriors running around with
these dirty bandages still over these infected wounds. Some
do not even know they have them, they are so deep inside.
He is saying to all who are hurting, come to Him, He is going to
do a mighty work in your heart beginning this day.
The Lord says to you this day, what you have tried to hide and
cover with the dirty bandages of the flesh, will not work.
These were temporary fixes of the flesh. This effort has
only resulted in many of my children walking around with sick
hearts. You cannot help anyone, if your heart is filled
with sickness. I am bringing to the surface in many that
which has been hidden deep inside your heart, which you have
tried to bury for so long. I am doing this in you, and it
is for your own good that I am doing this now. I am bringing
to the surface the deepest of pains, so that I can begin to heal
those wounds that are so deep inside of you.
He showed me that we will not be able to stand in these coming
days, and help others with these sick hearts. So he is doing this
work in many, and it will be a painful thing for many to have to
face that which they have tried to sweep under the rug and
disguise under layers of indifference. But it is a
necessary thing,and He is doing this because He loves each one of
thus that much, that He does not want us to hurt any longer.
Many are carrying around huge steamer trunks I see, many more
than one, filled to the brim with past hurts, and he wants to
remove all that excess baggage from you this day. He wants
to show you his love, so that you may be free of this excess
baggage, you have carried around for so long. He wants to
give you a new heart, light and free of all this excess baggage.
If you will go to Him, and ask Him what is there that is needs to
be removed, he will begin to show you. He wants you
to have total healing of the heart, so He can bring you into
great levels of his love, and greater levels with Him.
Contaminated Waters
May 12, 2000
Up to this time, many of my children have been playing and drinking in the contaminated waters of the muddy river. A river that reaked of pollution and stench. It was a river that the devil had called the river of life, but I say to you right now, that river you have called pure is a cesspool of filth and stench to my nostrils. It is a false river because it a river that was used to mimic the true river of life. I am calling you out of those contaminated waters, to come and be purified in the true river of life that is running from my mountain. I am calling you out of those cesspools of false worship, and fleshy showy masquerades which you have called worship up to this point. I want to teach you what true worship is. What it is to be in the presence of true worship and praise before me. I want to teach you so many things, my children, but you must be willing to leave all that is fleshly. It is the time now that I am taking out all the contimanites from the river of life, I am saying to you this day, there will be no more mixing of religion with my words of life, for my waters are to be pure drinking waters, waters of life that run through from the mountain of my presence. Let not the pollutants contaminate that which I have spoken to you before, or what I am about to do in the churches.. I am taking out the sludge and the muke and the contaminants that have been put in the river of life by man's ideas. I am removing all that is not of me, that is not pure out of the way, so that you may taste of the pure rivers of life. All that is done in man's ways, are not pure, but contaminate the river. All that is of the spirit of life is pure and clear, and holy, and is not to be mixed with the things of man's devisive nature, that which is emnity against me, is not to be mixed with the pureness of my worship service. You are to worship me in spirit and in truth. You are to seek me outside the worship of the church service. How will you know the truth, least you know me on an individual basis? How will you know the voice of the enemy if you do not know my voice yet? I am saying to my church, come out of those Babylon churches, and out of those mud holes you have been dancing in. You have been playing in the cesspools of life, and calling them, my pure water. You do not even see the dirt that you slide and play in.. You play and romp in the dirty muddy waters and call them the river of my pure water. I say to you, come forth out of there, stop dancing and running in that dirty water, come into my presence, repent of yours sins, oh Children, let me wash you with the pure waters of my river, let me make you clean, and pure and give you a heart purified by the fire. Come with me, and do not seek the dirty cesspools of the contaminated waters any longer. Do not be satisfied with the filthy waters any longer but seek to be refreshed and cleaned in the pure waters of my spirit. Come and dance with me, and swim and romp with me in the pureness of the river of life that I have for you to be in. Come forth out of those mud holes that pollute your hearts, and seek my true heart and my true spirit, for I want to teach you many things. Come and seek me, so I may teach you the true words of life and worship in me.
May 7, 2000
My children, I have you in training for what is ahead, you are now in a spiritual bootcamp. And just as a marine bootcamp is hard, so is spiritual bootcamp for my warriors, because you are being trained to be aware of the enemy, and of things which you have not seen until just now. So do not think that you are going through all this for nothing. I am training you, to be my warriors, even more now than before....like an elite bootcamp for those who will lead the front lines for the others. So know this, that this special forces will be like no other, trained by me, for the times ahead. So do not cry about how much you have to go through, for there is a reason for everything which I have brought you through, and will bring you through yet. This is like special training for the elite forces, that will be able to detect the enemy from every level and way in which he tries to come in at the family of God. They will be used to warn the body of Christ, of the dangers, to the left and to the right of them, because they will see with special Holy Spirit eyes, what the enemy is doing in the ranks, and wherever he is coming from, they will see him coming, even if he may appear to be invisible, these special troops will see with eyes, as likened unto laser eyes in the physical, they will see all things the enemy will try to do the body of Christ, in these coming days.
But first, I say to you, my children, those who have ears to hear this word, that this is time of learning to see and to discern all things in the spiritual, like never before. So the things you may have to go through and into, may appear to be the hardest of all things you have had to endure up to now, do not give in, nor give up, for there is a purpose and a reason, why I have taken you into the trenches of the enemy now, to teach you things you did not see before. Ask me to show you everything, as you go through to the other side, so you may learn to discern these things and understand all the tricks of the enemy, the game plan and all. Remember that the enemy does not want you to succeed in this endeavor and he is fighting tooth and nail to bring you down in this exercise of faith to go through the testing fires. Do not give up nor be disheartened, but ask me to strengthen you like steel to be able to pass through these fires now upon you.

A Godly Rest
May 2, 2000
My children,
I have set you aside for a purpose, little ones. Have you
not
felt the tugging of your heart to come and rest in me. I am doing
this now
to many of my warriors, for the battle has been raging, and I am
teaching
you new things this day. Let the refreshing waters
touch your heart again,
let the song of David be song in your hearts once again.
Come into the
praises of my house, my children, dance as David danced after the
battle,
dance before me as David, for you are battle weary and need to
come and
refresh yourself in my tabernacle. For this is for the ones
who have been
in battle for many seasons now, fighting the good fight, I want
to bring you
in the tabernacle of my heart, and let the glory refresh every
cell in your
body, rejuvenate yourselves in my rest and my presence, so you
may be able
to lead those which will be coming. Let this be the Sabbath
rest to your
souls and bodies.. The spring tonic that I send to you is that of
my
presence, for it shall rejuvenate you and give you the needed
peace and the
needed rest that you require before going forward in battle.
Listen to your hearts my children, I set the heart that is in
tune to me
according to the heart strings of my heart, and if you are
listening to me,
you will know that I am drawing you away from the battle grounds
for a
little bit to rest in my presense. Let my presence bring
you into a place
of sheer rest and love in the arms of your Daddy who is wrapping
his arms
around you even this day. This feeling you have inside is
me calling you
into the heart of mine, to be drawn away from the warring, the
noise, the
things which would defile your heart. I want you to come into my
rest
totally. Do not feel guilty for spending this time of rest
in me. It is me
who has drawn you to this place, for what is up ahead will
require this rest
and peace to fill you to overflowing. This is a godly rest which
I am
drawing you all into. Stop fighting me and come into this
rest.
For it is my rest which is drawing you, and separating you from
the war. It
is time for many of you to rest in me, and let the work be
handled by those
which I have been bringing up from the ranks. Let them take
the reins for a
bit, as you rest in me, for your work has been much, standing for
the others
in the gap for so long. Now I am allowing this to come to
you. Many of you
are tired and need to rest in me, let me refresh you like the
spring rains
refresh the earth of mine after a long winter season, so I want
to refresh
the hearts of my warriors, of the ones who have stood in the gap
for many
seasons now, I am calling you all into a Sabbath rest to allow
you to be
refreshed and bathed in the light of my presence and glory. Come
into the
tabernacle with praise, and sing my praises from your heart.
I shall give
you the rest and the needed refreshing you need so much. I
am your Godly
rest my child, so come with joy in your heart into the tabernacle
where I
dwell this day.
