Prophesies
Living Stepping Stones of Faith
June 10, 2000:
WALK OUT OF THAT FAMILIAR PLACE
WHICH YOU have known before this day. I am not a
microwave God. You cannot put in a microwaveable instant
tv dinner and get an instant meal. I will not, nor do I
work like that. You have become lazy in your seeking of me.
You must seek me with all your hearts desire in order to get to
know me, and to begin to step forth unto the stepping stones of
faith. I want you to walk where you have never walked
before. I want you to step out in faith onto the stepping
stones of faith...places which you have never stepped forth
into before this day. Come out into the river of my
spirit. This is the river of faith. Come out of the
places which have held you captive for so long. Come into the
river whose current is picking up speed. Come and rest in
the river. Let me carry you in the current, so you may rest. You
cannot stand still in the river, either you are moving with me or
against me this day.
This is not a day of being comfortable. This is a day of walking
forth in faith, and not being afraid to step into the unknown
with me. If you are searching for a place you have known
before, of comfort and of familiarity, then you are walking in a
place where I would not have you walk.
So many of you want instant results, and laziness has filled the
place where once you were faith walkers in me. I am saying
to those who have found the wading pools to be comfortable--come
out of those pools, into the rushing waters of the river for
which I have called you to walk in. Come forth out of your
comfort zones, and walk as I have called you to walk. Each
day, you must seek me.. You cannot be satisfied to dwell in the
past laurels or things which I have given to you to walk in the
past-because this my child is a new day, and a new hour, a new
time, and this is the time of great faith.
Walk out into the places I draw you into, the unfamiliar places
where you have not walked before. Do not be afraid.
You must seek me, and desire to know my will for this day and
hour. Do not walk in the ways of the past for they will not
work in these days.
These are days of great upheaval in the church, for I am shaking
and will continue to shake the very foundations of what you have
known before. No longer will you be able to follow
the leaders as blind men, but I will drive you into the deserts
to make you seek my face in these days. For each man,will
have to know me, and each child will have to truly know the voice
of their Father, that is why I drive you into the desert, out of
that which is familiar and safe to you.. I am taking you into the
desert to teach you to hear, to listen to my voice.
Have I not called you forth to be in the very center of
these new things? Have you not heard my voice--wooing you to come
out of that place of doldrums where you have taken a seat in
mediocrity? I called you out of those places,
to draw you away from the crowds, so you will stop following
blindly but listen to what the spirit has to say to your heart
this day.
These are the days of great faith, which I am calling you into.
I want a people who will not depend on instant messages from dead
pulpits, and who will come out of those places which I am shaking
and shaking with great earthquakes to unloose the very
foundations which the church has built for itself. My
church has set itself upon a pseudo rock - which they have named
Christ. Yet is a fake stone, a pseudo church, which is going to
crumble under my shaking.
I am making the places which have appeared safe to you before, to
be places of instability for a reason. I want you to come
out of the valley of death into the mountain of life where my
presence dwells. Follow me and not what you have thought to
be the normality of christianity in these days. Did I not
make the earth shake, the very foundations of the wisdom of men
to be a foolishness before them. I am again shaking the
foundations of earthly wisdom, of the dead bone valleys of
religion which have filled my childrens hearts with lies and
death. Come forth out of those dry dry valleys, which
only serve to suck the life out of you.
Turn away from that which is full of death,and come into the
wilderness for I am calling to you even greater this day than I
did for my servant Moses in the desert. I want to
consume you with the fire that engulfed the dry bush of the
desert in that day. I want to make you an all
consuming fire in the desert of this earth. For I am doing
a new work this day upon you and in you this day. I am
setting fires within the hearts of my children who are not afraid
to come out of the staunch confinement of religion and who are
willing to say to me, Yes, Lord, here I am, use me, take that
which holy before you-out of me. Burn it out of me, and
make me a fit vessel to hold the oil of your annointing.
Take me and break me, and make me your own, oh Lord.
That is what I desire in my children now.. Hearts willing to be
used, no matter what the price must be paid. Hearts willing
to be loving sacrifices before me.
I am looking for children who are willing to give all that they
have in this world to serve me. Children who will worship
me more than themselves. Willing vessels who love me more than
they love their earthly possessions. These are the true hearts of
service and love, my church in these last days.
Under
the Comforting Wings
of My Presence
June 4, 2000:
My little one, don't you know that I have watched you from birth,
and I have protected your every step from the moment you were
birthed in your mother's womb, even unto this day. For even when
the enemy tried so hard to kill you, I was there, protecting you
and watching over your every step. I am the protection that
you have not even seen in times past. All those near miss
things that almost killed you, did you not know that I was there
and thwarted every move the enemy used and trick to try to killl
you in times past. Do you think that I would do anything less for
you today?
I am taking you into places where you have never been, nor have
even thought to go. Do not be afraid, but I am expanding your
wings to fly beyond that which you have considered safe to fly.
Trust me dear child, for you know that I have not allowed
you to go where it is not safe in times past, would I do anything
less for you today then before? I would have you know this
day that I watch over you still like a brooding hen watches over
her chicks, to make sure they do not stray to far in to danger,
and I am watching every step you take, as I take you to places
unknown to you in times past, but into the places where I want
you to go so that you can grow and expand your faith in walking
on water with me and for me. Do you think that if you play
it safe, you will be able to lead the people that I will bring
you in times ahead to safety in the times of great peril that
still llie ahead. I am preparing you for a mission of great
danger and of great importance for this time in history of the
world. I have been making you reach further and further
beyond what you have accepted as truth thus far for a reason, for
there are some things that will appear bizarre to you and out in
left field and not of me; yet, I would not bring you there if
there were not a purpose in all of the things that I have brought
you into thus far. For what lies ahead, only I know what things
you will have to endure for me, and what mission impossible I
will be sending you on. These are the training times for the
perilous times that lie ahead for the special forces. Trust me to
carry you through even these times; there is a purpose in all
that I bring you into, to expand you beyond your boundaries and
the confines which have held your mind in religious chains so far.
These are days of learning for the special troops. I have chosen
many of you for these mission. So fear not, but let me lead
you into uncharted waters. I am with you and will never leave you
nor forsake you. Trust me with all your hearts in these days to
come.
HOLY FIRE...HOLY, HOLY, HOLY FIRE
June 2, 2000:
This is what the Lord said to me tonight, about Holy Fire, if we
will cry out OH HOLY ONE, this night, USE Me, OH LORD: Thus saith
the Lord of Hosts: "This day will I consume you with my Holy
Fire, if you will come to me, and give it all to me, all of
yourself, fully, wholly, totally given over to me. I will consume
you with my Holy Fire. I want you to know me in these days,
closer than your next breath. You must be willing to give
yourselves totally to me. Surrendering fully unto me, as you come
unto me, let me burn the dross out you, let me purify you with my
Holy Fire. Let me fill you with the oil from heaven this
night. For I have given you a gift that no other has here
on earth. I have called you forth in this day and this hour to
walk in the mighty anointing which I have given you. Do not step
back, but into the things which I am about to do in you. For
these will be as no other thing you have had or been through
before this time and hour. For this moment, I am calling forth an
anointing of great power upon my mighty ones. Come and take that
which your Father has to give to you this night. I am a God
of mighty consuming fire and great power, as the lightening rod
conducts electricity, so is my power conducted through you this
night, as you come and take that which I have to give you from
heaven. Do not be afraid of what I am about to do, but be bold as
Lions, and come into the throne room with the fire which you have
been birthed in. Come in and take that which is yours to
take this night.
RISE UP AND TAKE THAT WHICH IS YOURS
June 2, 2000:
Rise Up and Take that which is yours. Be not afraid of
their faces, for I have made you and I shall strengthen you
in times of trouble. There is nothing man can do to hurt you.
I am the strength of thy bones- and I the Lord thy God have given
you power to walk in these days. I have given to you great
power in this day, power to crush the enemy when he tries to rise
up against you. He was defeated at Calvary. Why do
you insist on giving the power back to him? In your
unbelief you equip him with the power to defeat you.
Because you do not walk as I have instructed you to walk --in the
spirit of your mind. This is the only reason he can rise up
against you. Remember that I defeated him at Calvary- he
knows if he can convince you to walk as a carnal man, than he can
have the power to defeat you. You give him the power or the
keys to the city, when you walk in the flesh.
Surrender yourself to me. Walk in the spirit and not in the
flesh so you may begin to see with the eyes of the spirit.
See the truth with the eyes I have given to you, hear the truth
with the ears I have given unto you, bring your mind into
subjection to the spirit, so that it will be as it was intended
to be, spirit, soul, and body. Let my spirit rule you
as the Head. Do not lean unto your own understanding, for
that is where the enemy lies. He wants you to walk by your
senses, your fleshly senses, so he can have the power. If
you bring all under my subjection, he has no power over you.
Speak forth my words with power and the enemy will run in fear in
my name. Do not doubt, but believe the words you are speaking are
words of truth. Speak forth with AUTHORITY!-- the authority that
I have given to you to you to speak. Speak it
forth and do not doubt that the words you speak are REALITY--
reality being spoken forth into the spirit realm.
You speak these words, but do you truly believe the words which
you are speaking are words birthed in faith?
My children, if you would only take these words into your heart.
Let me show you what it meant by these words. Let me show
you how to walk in the power which I have given to you to walk in.
I wait for you to come to me.
Do not be distracted by the enemies ploys to set your feet
crooked and take you off the path. The enemy knows his time
is so close now. He desires to destroy the annointing in
you, but FIRST he will try to draw you away from me. His
plan is to distract you, and make you not think or meditateon the
things which I have for you to do. Time is of the essence little
one! In a short time, his days will come to an end, and he
knows this. Do not be deceived by the lusts of the flesh,
for that beauty is not beauty, but DECEPTION that is masquerading
as beauty.
Know who is your redeemer in this day. Know that you
have been given great gifts to defeat the cowardly lion.
Believe and wield the sword of faith and do not be deceived
anymore by his roars. Do not turn away from me, keep your eyes on
me for the days are evil, and much deception has gone into the
world to try to lure you away and deceive your eyes. Look
not with the eyes of your flesh, but with the spiritual eyes that
I have given you. See through my eyes the deceptions before
you, they are veils meant to cloud your view of truth. He
is the master of deception, but YOU are MY SONS OF GLORY AND
TRUTH! Walk in that truth which I have given to you.
Seek me to know more truth, so you may warn the little ones as
they come. Walk in MY LIGHT and do not be deceived by the
false truth that has come into the world now to deceive.
For I am the ONLY hope, the ONLY truth, and the ONLY way to
eternal life.
There is no other way but through me, so speak MY WORDS OF TRUTH
- for many are now beginning to seek MY TRUTH - and if you do not
speak to them, who will?
