Prophecy Reflection
On Friday, April 2nd of 2004-I (Sal) attended a special service my local church put on at the old church building. We had a guest speaker that was flown from North Carolina and another one from the Cities come do a prophecy session. Hmmm�What is this prophecy session? Well, it was a time of encouragement (through intense prayer and words) and building one another up as a church family. About a mix of 6 singles, couples, and families got an opportunity to be prayed for in front of the whole church congregation. It was a special service on Friday evening (nothing better else to do) that went from 7-10p. We started with some short announcements from the pastor and began with music-worship led by a small team. A couple of people/families/couples would get prayed and then we did a worship song. Then this would become a pattern until 10pm with some flow from the Holy Spirit, but with order (1 Corinthians 13)! They sat up in front of everybody while the two guest speakers came to speak living words of life to them. Just like how Jesus spoke about �living water� to the Samaritan women in the well. This has been a yearly event the last past couple of years, which I was encouraged to do this with the people around me everyday-not just once a year! Well, before I get into details in general, I wanted to share this common theme among the people that got �prophesied�. It was the words of encouragement to �rise-up� and be use what God has intended each one to be used for. I feel like people have been hiding their God given gifts and has believed lies of the devil of not being able to do this or that. Basically, we are not using our potential what we each all have individually been made for. The speaker from North Carolina kind of solidified all this in the following Sunday morning service. He shared how we need to be delivered from bondages of sin and fear that has gripping us. For example, many stood-up after this heart felt God-given message this Sunday morning to respond to get prayer as a whole congregation (some individually came up front boldly) to specifically get rid of fear of man (e.g. paranoia-what do others think of me? What do my parents say about my life? What if I did this, what would they think? How can I please them?). I believe many or all of us are not able to be effectively be used by God because of some fear of someone or something.
Personal Fear Testimony
I asked God what are my fears that's preventing me to be used more effectively by You to be part of the Kingdom building process:
fear of man
-what my family think of living in Morris. I want to please them to make them approve of my life.
I've been delivered (not totally) from these past fears:
-fear of not being there for my family: I live only 2 hours from my nuclear "blood" family, which I feel guilty that I'm not doing what I could do to help them. Especially when my parents are getting older, I fear how life is short will get me to not being able do what we could've done. I do my best to try to spend time with my family, which I try to take vacations (taking one this week for Easter holidays and family birthdays) to be with them and teach what God has been teaching me in Morris! However, I pray for more of God's children to minister to them while He has called me to minister to people in Morris, which their family members are probably praying for them too! We got to work as a team of believer in Christ, which we have to remind ourselves that we are not the only ones ministering to individuals-most of the time! My dad has been regularly (every Sunday evenings!) watching Joel Osteen , a t.v. evangelist, which is an answer to my prayer!
-fear of death of love ones: I do fear
-want to please my local church leaders or authoritative figures that God has me to submit, which I was looking for words of approval that I know I'm pleasing them. Instead, I should've been more wanting to please God my Heavenly Father, but with submission to them.
-I wanted to be accepted by the predominately Caucasian church body, as I wanted to fit in and be approved as a non-white outsider (leftovers from my healing of racism)
-fear of big crowds, which I would be �paranoid� all them time when I walked in front of big audiences. For example, I was ashamed going to church (Catholic) growing-up whenever my family was late. Now, when I attend church late (not purposely), I don�t really care now as I�m there to please God!
-fear of speaking: This is something I�m progressing as I thank my local church getting me over this fear through the �open-mike� shares on Sundays. When I first came to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior, I slowly became more bold to share what God is doing in front of my local church congregation on Sundays. Now, I love to speak and share in front of crowds-especially what God is doing! I just got to use discernment as I can easily get carried away with selfish ambition and pride when one is in the �lime light�
-fear of women: I was prophesied (several times in the past) of having a wife in the future, which is obvious! However, I�ve been honestly afraid of having a wife as I�m getting comfortable being single! Also, I have had some past rejection issues, which I�ve been afraid to �accept� an opposite-sex friendship turned to serious intimate relationship that God puts in my life.
-fear of change:

"prophecies", from Blue Letter Bible
March 5, 2003
Dear Friends,
We are living in some very perilous times and the Charismatic World is responding to the present situation in Iraq and North Korea with predictable confusion and sometimes almost hysteria. Add to this a generous dose of Nationalism and Patriotism and we have a powerful stimulus to produce some real serious problems in the Prophetic Sphere.
Since there is so much contradiction in what is being said these days, some have made admirable efforts to harmonize the various words and insights that are being offered. I believe that this is indeed a genuine effort to bring some explanation to a confused church, which cannot harmonize so many conflicting "Words from God", and that those involved are attempting to "put the pieces together" with integrity.
Facing some of these things causes us to realize that there needs to be accountability from those who offer public and often high profile prophetic insights nationally, and internationally.
I have watched with amazement as Christian Ministries have promoted the significance of 03/03/03, with an almost superstitious zeal. Where have we come to when we must grope around in the "garden of mysticism" to replace prophetic revelation that we don't have? The date has passed and no significant result seems to be apparent. Perhaps I am too quick of the mark, but will anyone be held accountable for the projections and promises made in this connection if and when nothing happens?
In my more than thirty years of Prophetic Ministry, I have learned that I do not need to "have a word" in every national and international situation. There seems to be a rush to bring "the answer" and the possession of a reputation in prophecy make some feel they absolutely must have "heard " on the subject. Its interesting that when the Shunamite woman came to meet the prophet he sent his servant ahead to find out why she was in trouble. The reason he gave "the Lord has hidden it from me"
Over the last number of years we have been told by one prominent brother that Bill Clinton was really a gift from God and that Saddam Hussein was really a great friend of the Church and should be cultured and regarded with different attitudes. This word seems to leave us somewhat confused on both counts! Whilst I am not American I would have some reason to question both of those words if I were.
Another ministry predicted boldly, and was published far and wide, saying that when China took over Hong Kong there would be an immediate blood bath. I happened to be in Hong Kong on the night of Independence. Apart from the torrential rain there was no bath of any kind. Today, Hong Kong still represents a refuge and a HQ for Christians working into China.
When we begin to question these kinds of predictions, which are so common today amongst prophetic ministries, we are immediately criticized by some. Usually the answer is that there is a "spiritual" interpretation to the prophetic word, or that somehow intercession has prevailed and prevented God doing what He clearly told the prophets He was going to do.
These comments could be multiplied over in large conferences and t.v. ministries where people are using the platform they are on to establish their reputation rather than to be sensitive to what the Spirit is truly saying.
Can New Testament Prophets be wrong? Of course they can! That's the reason the Bible tells us in the New Testament that all prophecy is subject to judgement. For the same reason scripture says "we know in part and prophesy in part"
My desire here is not to criticize those bringing prophetic words of International importance, but to honestly ask if we are confronting those who have made major pronouncements and have been proven to be patently wrong and off track? How much longer can we afford to have prophecy held in disrepute. Paul tells us "do not despise prophecy", we seem to be setting ourselves up with a widening credibility gap.
Often in the Scriptures, the men and women who bought such words were not "great ministries". Usually in fact, they were obscure and hidden; bringing a word from God which was pertinent and powerful. Their words did not come out of some obligation their stature imposed on them, but out of a deep sense that they had heard God. Scripture teaches us to "be quick to hear and slow to speak"
In the Old Testament those bringing words were severely judged if their words proved to be false. In the New Testament there was, and is, a provision of accountability which needs to be exercised, and which prophetic ministries need to submit to gladly. These things were designed by God for our protection, and not to put us down.
The days that lay ahead are going to be days when individuals and the corporate church are going to need the clear prophetic direction of those who are able to hear and willing to be accountable. Lives are going to depend on the accuracy of the word, and nations may hang in the balance for lack of a clear insight into their needs and direction.
2003 needs to be a year when we look again at the prophetic ministry in the Charismatic World and seek to establish a strong, >authentic, voice of prophetic integrity in the Church.

On whom are you depending, that you rebel against me? 6 Look now, you are depending on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces a man's hand and wounds him if he leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him. 7 And if you say to me, "We are depending on the LORD our God"-isn't he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, "You must worship before this altar"?

I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.

Biblical Prophecies of Jesus' Coming!
*see Jesus Freak
How do you know the Bible is true? One fact besides: historical facts through archaeology; faith through salvation, signs, miracles, or wonders; etc.. is "prophecies". This morning, I just picked-up the Bible and was opened to Zechariah 9. I was attracted to the chapter title, "Judgment on Israel's Enemies". When I continued to read....
The Coming of Zion's King
"See, your king comes to you, righteious and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey"
I automatically think of Jesus-Himself! Cool, huh? This is one of many verses predicting Jesus based on the stories written on him in the New Testament: Gospels. From the top of my head, I think of other verses mentioned in the Old Testament: Isaiah 7 "The Sign of Immanuel", Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him-his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being (beating prior to Jesus' crucifixtion)", etc...
I challenged you to ask God to reveal more to you when you pick-up the Bible. In fact, there are some websites out there that focus on this topic. Just ask Him to reveal this to you!

Bible is the Best Prophetic Guide
I was listening to a christian sermon message on tape (Chuck Missler's Koinonia House) sent to our college campus ministry. I received it from a college student 5+ years ago, but nevery really had the chance to listen to it. I listened to it on my way to the cities from Morris visiting parents (January 27th-29th 2006)

2007 Prophecy Season for MCC
Ben and Stu shared on Hearing from God at a local church family's home between the "prophetic" services in the weekend of Thursday, March 22nd to Saturday, March 24th of 2007. Our church family has grown, so we had to add another extra day (compared to 2004) to the schedule of the MCC family being prophesied. This year, there seem to be a theme (based on the 2 of 3 days I was able to attend), which I decided to give my personal intake...
We all....
-need individual encouragment regularly
-are not invisible and God doesn't overlook one over the other
-need to pray for our daily/weekly schedules (we need to ask God how to prioritize-me especially!)
-need to ask those who have walked with Christ longer than us/get mentored and mentor ones younger than us too/get advice/etc...
-need to read (Bible daily in our personal times w/"Daddy" overall) about "valley of dry bones" in Ezekial (Chapter 37)
" 4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath [a] enter you, and you will come to life...
I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28"
-evanglism challenge for the church body (win "1 soul for Christ" for each church member by the end of the year) to double our family for a bigger place of fellowship to gather
-place of refuge (has been prophesied before)
End Times? When is the world coming to an end?
17" 'In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
19I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.'[c]...-Acts 2 (see GoodnewsEverybody.com Church Services, Body of Believers, Family of Christ, Fellowship, etc...)

Mark 13 Signs of the End of the Age
" 1As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"
2"Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4"Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?"
5Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many. 7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
9"You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 13All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14"When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation'[a]standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 17How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ[c]!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible. 23So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.
24"But in those days, following that distress,
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
25the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[d]
26"At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.
28"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. 30I tell you the truth, this generation[e] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
" 32"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert[f]! You do not know when that time will come. 34It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' ""

What is prophecy?
Biblical Verses on "prophecy"-word search
Note from Pat on 11/7/03:
In times past in the charismatic church the format and style of giving a "word from the Lord" (prophesy) has varied quite a bit. It might have been shouted out from the congregation, beginning with a "Thus saith the Lord" to preface it, or several words might have come in a row, with not much time spent going over what was said. There's not a "right or wrong" in giving a word from God, we've all been there in working with different styles and methods, and we're all learning and growing!
At MCC we have been seeking ways to be practical, biblical and yet open to the Holy Spirit on Sunday mornings.
At MCC this past Sunday we had eight words given, all prophetic, all given at the microphone, and all "weighed" by leadership as to their value an purpose for the church.
I Cor 14.29 says "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said." and verse 31 says "For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged." and 32 "The sprits of the prophets are subject to the control of the prophets. 33. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace."
Events
-Bridge Collapse
Then I was to fly south and declare that the "purifying wind" would come to the mouth of the Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina, which means "purification," then came to jar our nation. Now the collapse of this bridge is a call to "awaken." May we awaken to the signs of our times. Below are two calls to prayer from our prayer coordinators in Minnesota.
Also below, is a word about the new season upon us with an exciting prophetic word of the Lord and our current 21-day prayer focus, "Making It Through the Eye of the Needle and Into Your New Field of Increase!"

"
1 The LORD abhors dishonest scales,
but accurate weights are his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless makes a straight way for them,
but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
7 When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes;
all he expected from his power comes to nothing.
8 The righteous man is rescued from trouble,
and it comes on the wicked instead.
9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.
10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
12 A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor,
but a man of understanding holds his tongue.
13 A gossip betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.
14 For lack of guidance a nation falls,
but many advisers make victory sure.
15 He who puts up security for another will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe.
16 A kindhearted woman gains respect,
but ruthless men gain only wealth.
17 A kind man benefits himself,
but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
18 The wicked man earns deceptive wages,
but he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 The truly righteous man attains life,
but he who pursues evil goes to his death.
20 The LORD detests men of perverse heart
but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig's snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
24 One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
25 A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
26 People curse the man who hoards grain,
but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell.
27 He who seeks good finds goodwill,
but evil comes to him who searches for it.
28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
29 He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and he who wins souls is wise.
31 If the righteous receive their due on earth,
how much more the ungodly and the sinner!

"My Blessed Child, I am your Father Yaweh, yea Jehovah, Most High God! My Blessed Child, just as surely as the wind blows, and just as surely as the sun rises in the East, My promise is ever so true, that I am coming for My Bride! Many can sense when a time of crisis is at hand; and My 'True Ones,' can also sense the time of My Coming!
My Little One, I long to come for My Bride, even as My Bride is longing for Me! And, I warn Mine through dreams and visions, and through the prophetic word, to make themselves right before Me; for the time of my coming is at hand! And, over and over again, during the past few years I have sounded the alarm to My Bride to make herself ready; for My coming is at hand! And, truly I have wanted to come, and could have expedited many things so that My coming for My Bride would have already taken place! But, even so My Little One, I have continued to tarry and I have further delayed significant world events; for some whom I wish to marry, would not make themselves ready! My Little One I am saddened to look and see that so many raise their arms toward Me and say, "I am ready," when their hearts are full of every kind of darkness! At a time when My Bride should be in her closet praying, confessing her sins, and pleading for Me to make her whole and clean, this is not the case with most. Instead, many, upon hearing that My coming is at hand, drop all and shout, "I am ready!" Do these think that I am blind and that I will not see all? Do they think that I will whitewash their sins and take them as they are, overlooking their darkness, even as they overlook it? Do they believe that I will work some magic, erase their sins, and take them away? My Little One, the sins of Satan, and the sins of his hordes have polluted My people! They have polluted My churches and they have come to occupy My Bride! I will marry none, save they are clean before me! And, to be clean is a great work! To be clean requires a great desire to be clean! To be clean requires spiritual discipline and obedience to Me! To be clean requires that one forsake the world and all of the evil that is within it! To be clean requires that one loves Me above all! To be clean is a work and no amount of whitewashing will make one clean!"
Hear Me, oh My People! I am going to marry a Bride, who is holy, whose robe is radiantly clean and sparkling white! NO manner of world or worldly lusts will be in My Bride! Have you heard Me? Do you understand Me? For, holiness calls out to holiness! Deep calls out to deep! Make your way straight and stay in that straight place. For, there will be none, who are waffling and wavering, in My Kingdom!
I am calling for righteousness, holiness, purity and truth! There is no other way, and I will have no other way in My Bride! Hear Me, oh My People; for I proclaim that this is so! Stop undermining your own inheritance; for only the one who is holy, will stand in My presence.
What is true will stand! What is pure will stand! And, what is right will stand in My presence! For, I am an all-consuming fire; and My Little Son, the Manchild of Revelation Chapter Twelve, is an all-consuming fire! He is holy, even as I am holy; for he is I, and I am He; and He is the heritage of the Manifest Sons of God!
Who will walk in this power, in this all-consuming fire? The one, who has a clean and pure heart, who has clean and pure thoughts, the one who walks in truth, who loves Me above all, and who obeys Me in all things. This one will walk in such power! All others who come into this power, who will not see the errors of their ways, and who will not repent of their evil ways, will trip and fall in this power!
For, this power is great! This power is heavy! This power is indivisible! This power is uncompromising! This power is perfectly holy! It does not bend and yield in the presence of the accusers! It does not arbitrate with evil!
This power is holy! Holiness calls out to holiness and this one, on whom this power falls, this power of My Little Son, will repent and walk in obedience, or this power will utterly break such a one and consume such a one from off the face of this planet! This is My Kingdom Power! Who can walk in such power? Who can stand in such an all-consuming fire?
The one who has a clean and pure heart, who has made his or her way straight, who loves Me above all, and who fears me, who does not sit in the congregation of the ungodly, who does not love the world and what is in it, who is holy, pure, clean, truthful and righteous, even as I am holy, clean, pure and righteous. Such a one is My Son! This One is My Son; and in this one I am well-pleased.
“Hear Me, oh My People! Hear Me! For, I speak what is plain and what is true! Live in the world and perish in the world! Love the world and what is in it; and know for a certainty that you are cut off from Me! Chase after the vanities of the world and after the flesh and die in the flesh! Love the harsh, the ugly, and the discordant plans and practices of Satan and perish in them!
My warnings to you are becoming evermore final! My directives to you are becoming ever more dire! My pleading is turning into direct and severe chastisements for all of you! Love evil and die in evil! Love the things of the world, and the things of the flesh, and die in the world and in the things of the flesh.
It is extremely important that My Chosen Ones extricate themselves from all worldly things and from all worldly attractions, like television, movies, and most publications of the world! For, therein are spiritual traps, hidden mind control, hidden “trigger” words, images and phrases, which are put there to elicit strong behaviors, which are antichrist!
*see GoodnewsEverybody.com LA : Government, Security, etc...
"
If Mine will not heed My warning and come away from these traps, they will fall among such traps. Regarding these things, I have repeatedly warned, but so many believe that these warnings do not apply to them! The fact is, that too many who consider themselves to be Mine, are addicted to things of the world!
Hear Me in this; for I am going to begin to make the journeys of My Chosen Ones difficult, increasingly difficult until they understand My strictness in these measures.
"
Have I ever told you that the straight and narrow is synonymous with the 'broad way'? Have I ever told you that the two ways mix? I have not; but the worldy lying preachers of My word have! They have embedded themselves in the worldly and have lusted after the world and all that is in it! They have polluted my churches! They have polluted My people! They have wreaked havoc in My Congregations; for they have overwhelmingly rejected the straight and narrow! I hate their worldy prayers! I hate their worldy ways and their empty praises! And, I will throw them and their wicked ways out of my face, and violently so!
My Bride, I have called to holiness! I have called you My Bride, to separate yourselves out of the world! Come out of the assembly of the wicked! Go there to give My teachings, to give them My words, to warn them, to bring salvation to them; but do not abide in the assembly of the ungodly! Do not go there with a ‘yea, yea,’ or a ‘nay, nay,’ for your agreement with them, in any of their evil ways, will open up doors within your very being, through which the demons in them will rush headlong, all in order to destroy you! The world and all that is in it, is enemy to My Elect! My Holy Bride, do you not know this? Do you not see that I am your portion?
What is to be gained by making friends with the ungodly? Do you not know that they are your stumbling blocks? They are the foes of the righteous! One rotten apple truly will spoil the whole barrel! Listen to Me! It is far better to be alone, far better, indeed and to be separated out unto Me! For, I am your Sustenance, oh My Holy Bride! I am the pure and holy light, who guides You, your Ever-present Source of truth, peace, and calm. I am your Provider! I am your Protector! I am your All, oh My Holy Bride! Therefore, you must look to Me in all things; for truly I, and I alone, am the Author and Finisher of your faith.
“But, if one chooses to become a “buddy” or personal friend with a rebel, he or she will suffer greatly! For, by deciding to become friends with a rebel, such a one will open up many areas within his or her mind, body, soul, heart and spirit, through which the enemy may attack! And I, on seeing that one of My Chosen Ones has taken a path which is displeasing to Me, will thereby begin to exact a series of punishments on My Faithful servant. These punishments will be, at first, only slight, and may seem to be only coincidence; but if My chosen one does not cease to sit in the congregation of the ungodly, I will cause My hand to come down heavy, increasingly more heavy on this one of Mine! And, even though these judgments begin to escalate, My Chosen One, may not see, even then, that this is My hand of correction.
Therefore, My warning to My Bride, and to all who truly want to walk in holiness and righteousness, is to come away from the rebel! Do not sit in the congregation of the ungodly! If I send you there, go there and do or say as I so direct in their midst; but do not linger there among them! And, do not become their friends or companions. For, I am jealous for My Chosen Ones and I will not allow such companionship with the rebellious and with the ungodly.
Hear Me, oh My people! Come away from your lying, deceitful ways! Stop parading your evils in My face! I am a God of great righteousness and holiness, a God of purity, truth and perfection! Stop parading your evils in My face! I will not endure it, but shall cause My wrath to be poured out upon you! Do you not know that My eyes are upon you and nothing that you do escapes My eyes?
I shall pluck you up and put you into chains and shackles if need be, to save your soul! Do you not know My little flock, that this is a new day, the time of My Kingdom Come and My will be done in the Earth, even as it is in heaven?
Do you actually believe that I will not bring My fire down on you for your evil ways? Am I not the same God who punished My own house when they rebelled against Me in the wilderness? I am among you now, even as I was then; for My Son is in your very midst, The Little Manchild of Revelation Chapter Twelve.
Do not think to get in My face with such evils; for I will cast you out of My face! For, holiness calls out to holiness, righteousness to righteousness, purity to purity, and truth to truth! I will have it no other way! My Bride is holy! The Manifest Sons of God are holy; for I am they and they are I! Will you get in My face with your ungodly ways and think that all is well? All is not well; and I will not have it!
Go therefore, and sink into what you love! Go headlong into the discordant, worldly music of Satan! For, he will harvest you, straight down into hell! And, I will be quick to turn many of you over headlong and quickly into all of your lusts; for you long after Me, and you long after things of the world! A divided house will not stand in My presence! This is a new day and the old way, the ways of this wicked world do not, and will not, fit into My way! Blessed is he who fears Me, and who walks humbly before Me! This one is teachable and I can save this one!
But, cursed is he, who fears Satan, and does not fear Me! Cursed is he, who loves the world and what is in it! Cursed is he, who loves the evil discord of Satan! Cursed is he, who turns from the truth and will not honor or receive truth! Cursed is he, who mocks Me, who mocks My words and who will not abide in truth! Cursed is he, who has a divided heart, and who speaks with a divided tongue! Cursed is he, who sleeps in Satan’s lair, who cuddles up to evil and sees no wrongs therein! Cursed is he, who eats the abominable things of this world and who feasts on television, movies, and the sinful things of the flesh! Cursed is he, who shuns sound advice from Me, and who comes to create strife in the midst of My faithful! Cursed is he, who gossips and spreads hate against My true servants! Cursed is he, who loves and lives a lie of any kind! Cursed is he, who will not repent of his evil ways, but heaps evil upon evil, and wickedness upon wickedness. Yes, cursed are all, who stand in the congregation of the ungodly, who embrace the ways of the ungodly and who will not repent!"

Plain Talk From Our Saviour: An Extended Delay!
“Come unto Me, My Blessed Child; for you have come seeking, asking that I speak to you in plain talk, in talk which is devoid of mysteries, devoid of visions, dreams, similes, and metaphors. Plain talk, you seek from Me regarding My coming for My Faithful, how it will appear, how it will “look,” how it will manifest. And, I am not offended in this! I am not angry with you for asking this, but what you ask I now give readily.
My answer to you is plain! Soon, very very soon, I will take My Little Son back to My throne! Yes, I have added a short time to your suffering; for you have asked for the salvation of the children of Satan! And, I have placed My Little Son in one, wherein I am training him to set free the children of the hidden goat lineage. Yes, I have added onto your time of suffering some additional amount of time; however, this is not lengthy, but short, as I have told you.”
“My Lord, forgive me if this statement is not appropriate; and please do not be offended in me, but My Lord, a short amount of time for You can be 1,000 years! For, Scriptures tell us that 1,000 years is as one day to You. (II Peter 3:8) Therefore, I ask You, Oh Blessed Saviour for clarity. My Lord, what is a short amount of time to You? Is it weeks, My Lord? Is it months? Is it, as of yet, an undetermined amount of time? I ask, My Lord, because the very concept of time has varied meanings to You when it represents time in this human world.
My Lord, I have seen You give dates, as I asked to see dates, only to see You give more time and make the dates, which You gave, null and void. Therefore, I ask in earnest, My Lord; for I do not understand what a short amount of time means to You!”
“My Little One, I am still looking! I am still weighing! Therefore, I can only be honest with you when I say, a short amount of time. I can expedite this time and compress this work into a very short time of some few days, or a few weeks; or I can extend it by some few months.”
“Father, is this time, this amount of extended time, whether it be compressed, or stretched out, dependent upon me in any way? Is there something that I must do, or not do? What must I do? Am I able to expedite this time in any way?”
“My Little One, continue on as you have continued! Be obedient. Be faithful in all things! Love Me above all. Do as I say. Speak when I tell you to speak. Write what I tell you to write. Be silent when I tell you to be silent, and I will do the rest. This is My work. I am Most High! In no way are you able to determine what I am looking at, what I am observing, or what I am doing. For, I am looking at many things the world over. So be at peace; for I am with you in all things.
Now, My Little One, I have given you plain talk regarding your questions. And, this plain talk, which you seek from Me involves other things, as well. Therefore, I will tell you some other things in plain talk! Yes, I will soon take My Son, My Little Manchild, back to My throne. When he goes, you will go also, and a few others will go with you! Soon, I will seal the 144,000, and soon I will begin to release My Little Son, the Manchild, into My Sons, who are my Bride! These who receive My Little Son, will be greatly persecuted, and tried and tested in severe and harsh ways, even as you are tried and tested.
All of these things will take place before the first Great Harvest. Great travail and great hardships will begin to come upon My people to cause them to repent before Me. For, they talk, talk, and talk, but they do not wish to repent.
My Little One, you know how bad it is in this world! You know just how few have stayed the course with you! You know how wicked the hearts of the people are; and you know how their hearts have grown cold for lack of love towards Me. My Little One, you know the state of this wicked nation of the USA, that it is the harlot of the whole world! It is Sodom revisited. You see and you know the truth of things; for I have put you into the midst of My very fires, the all-consuming fires of My Little Son. You live there, My Little One, and you have lived amidst persecution and torture, which has been so great that anyone, who could really see and understand would shudder! In addition, the enemy has tried every kind of mind control on you, day after day, week after week, month after month; and now year after year. But, through it all, they have failed! However, they have succeeded in driving many away from you. For, they have seen the corruption in their hearts; and due to such corruption, the wicked ones have been able to easily mind control many of them by expanding the wicked thoughts of their hearts, and instilling in them further lies as well!
But, some few they have failed to control, even though the wicked ones have also victimized these and have sought to turn these against you. They have not succeeded because these are humble before Me! They desire righteousness! They truly love Me above all! Their hearts are right and in the right place before Me! Therefore, the repeated attempts of the enemy to turn them against you have failed. But, not so with many others!
My Little One, these wicked children of Satan and his many hordes have gone after many, abducting them from their homes, drugging them and mind controlling them, all without their knowledge or permission! Over and over again, they have done such things to your so-called friends and their assaults have worked over and over again! Therefore, many of your so-called friends have fallen by the way!
However, as I have just stated, the assaults of these wicked ones did not succeed against a few! A few have remained faithful! The evil attempts of the enemy would not work against them; for their hearts are right and clean before Me! When you look among your few friends, who have stayed the course with you, this is what you see! You see humble, obedient, little children, who love Me above all, and who truly love others. These few desire to please Me and to do My perfect will. They are part of My humble, little flock! But, how many are these, My Little One? Few, few indeed! These are the numbers.
Therefore, My Little One, through this observation, you can surely get a glimpse of just how many faithful, little ones I have in the whole world. These, who are your friends, have been stalked by the enemy; and many of them have been stalked through covert means, just as I have already mentioned. Yet, they are still your friends. I have been busy trying them all; for I have also allowed all of the trials, which have come upon them. However, My Blessed Child, most in the world have not suffered what these few have suffered. I have put them through such tests, to test their faithfulness.
Do you see why I cannot now take My Bride off this planet? They are not ready! Through so many warnings of My imminent coming I have laid tests before My Bride to see if she would come to Me with a broken heart and with a contrite spirit, so that I could wash and bathe her through her own tears. I laid the tests out when I told over and over again, that My coming was at hand! Yet, My Bride overwhelmingly failed My tests.
Instead of coming before Me with a broken heart and with a contrite spirit; they raised their filthy hands before me; they flashed their soiled robes in My face and they overwhelmingly said, ‘Here I am Lord! Come for Me! Marry Me!’
Yes, this is so! This is what they have done! Yes, indeed! Therefore, My Little One, I am bringing forth a time of pleading with My people, pleading amidst severe and harsh judgments! My Bride will not come in tears and on bended knees in deep repentance! Therefore, I will put her on bended knees, even in the midst of great travail. However, I will not unleash such suffering and travail upon My people without also pouring out a great measure of My grace, My love, My mercy and power!
My Little Manchild, who has lived in you for over forty-two months, must soon be known to the whole world. He must soon take his place in the Sons of God, who are ready for Him. For, some of these are ready! Not all, but some!
A time of the manifesting of My great power must now enter into the Earth! For, Satan’s Kingdom is rampant! Its ugliness is roaring across the planet and he appears like a lean and hungry lion, seeking whom he can devour. My Little One, terrible things are taking place all over the earth and Satan’s Kingdom of great darkness rises quickly now to rule the whole earth.
Therefore, I will soon take My Little Son to My throne! He will receive great power and will thereafter go into some, who are ready to walk in such great power! He will go also into others, but with a lesser degree of power! Some will, therefore, walk in great power, as My Manifest Sons of God; and some will walk in a lesser power! These, who have My Little Son in them, the Manifest Sons of God, will also do great works and wonders among My people! Yet, Satan will hate them greatly and he will set out to make war against them.
My Little One, as you have often spoken regarding My written words in Revelation Chapter Twelve, Satan only persecutes you! (Rev 12:13) Yet, he tries to kill you daily! However, he will make war against these, who have My Little Son in them; and he will kill some of them! (Rev 12:17) Others, he will not be able to kill!
My Little One, during this time of great persecution, I will release a great amount of My power into the Earth! This release will take place through My Sons and will be for the salvation of the greatest numbers of souls! This must be! There must come a time for the trying of the Sons of God, a time for pleading for the rest of the people to repent, and a time for the salvation of the greatest numbers of souls. As I have told you, this must be!
I will severely try and test all, who receive My Little Son. What I require in the Sons of God is a walk of perfection, a walk of holiness! For, My Holy Son will be in them; and I will require such a walk before Me! Therefore, any sins, if not repented of immediately in the Sons of God, will be met with a sharp and quick judgment. These judgments can be so sharp, so hard, so fierce, so quick, that some of these will wish that they had never been born!
For, Satan will see and will monitor also every one of them; and any unrepentant sin, if not repented of immediately, will cause a release of the hordes of hell against that person! So great will be the suffering upon such a one, that if he or she does not repent, that same one may wish for death!
Yet, if this one will quickly repent, only a little punishment will come upon him, or her; and this little punishment will come about to get his or her attention and to cause a remembrance of such sins, thereby bringing about an avoidance of such behaviors in the future.
My Little One, this is black and white. There are no gray, or shady areas! The Little Manchild, who lives in the Sons of God is I! I am in these Sons of God and what many would have easily gotten away with previously, they will not get away with once they get the Little Manchild. For, if these Sons of God will not immediately repent of any and all sins, I will reduce the power in My Little Son in such offenders; and they will be left powerless in the face of armies of demonic hoards from hell. Great, great shall be their pain and suffering; and it will come immediately!
The walk of the Manifest Sons of God is strict, stricter than any walk that anyone in this earth has ever known. You know how it is, My Little One! You have lived amidst it! This walk requires a total surrender to Me, a total death to self, a total death to the world, and all of its traps; a total faith and trust in Me; a great fear and respect for Me; and, a great love for Me, which means to love Me above all! The walk of the Sons of God also requires a great concern for what I think and a great desire to do what is right, yet a lack of concern for what others think, and lack of concern for ‘pleasing’ others.
For, each one must know, each one must understand that I am the Author and Finisher of his, or her faith! Therefore, each must put Me first and obey Me in all things! I will not allow these to put others and other things before Me! To those Sons of God, who put people or things before Me and My work, I will give a sharp rebuke; and there shall follow an immediate decrease in My power to My Little Son, who is in them. My Little One, this is My Kingdom Come, My will be done in the earth, even as it is in Heaven!
Oh Blessed Father, do I understand correctly that You are about to put Your Bride through great and horrific fires of testing?
My Little One, I have pleaded with My Bride (to make herself clean) as a beggar would plead for a crumb of bread! Am I a beggar, that I should plead with her to make herself clean before Me? No, I am not a beggar! I am Creator! But I love My Bride with an everlasting love; and I plead with her to make herself clean; yet she comes to Me with filthy hands and with filthy clothes.
Am I coming for this? Am I going to marry this? I am not; but I will cast her headlong into the furnace of afflictions, even as I cast you some years back! Yes, I will toughen up my Bride, even as I would toughen up a diamond! And, through these great fires, I will burn out all dross, until each one is a pure and radiant diamond in My hands!
After this time of the testing of and trying of My Bride, and after this time of pouring out My Spirit and power in the Earth, I will bring forth a Great Harvest.
This first, small harvest of these, who appear before me, and who are sent back, would not be considered to be a harvest by some! Yet, it is a harvest, but very contrary to what people are looking for and expecting.
Yes, I am coming for My Bride, but I will first put her through the fires before she walks in her full power!
I have talked plainly! I have spoken clearly! I have said My piece! Now, go in peace My Little One; for I will do for you and some others even as I have told you! So be of good cheer!

Matthew 24 Signs of the End of the Age
"... 30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other...
"Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."-Matthew 6
"
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation,
."
