Word of the Lord November 2010 October 29, 2010  PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION This is a time when men’s hearts will be revealed and their true agendas will be visible; for in the light, things that have been conveniently hidden will be visible before all. For, the day is at hand when I am saying to my people, Rise up, take your positions and come up higher. Allow me to lead you to walk upon the high places and even show you the way that is before you. You have not been this way before, and I will have to release not only my instructions but the grace for you to enter in and walk accordingly. Much is being set in place, and many things that you see now will be part of a necessary process to prepare for even greater things that are coming. In this process, many will be called to assemble and called into rank and order.   This is a serious and sobering time; a time for truth to reign and for deception to be broken. I will reveal all things and bring much that has been covered and veiled to light. So stay in my presence, and don’t be quick to judge anything before its time. Because the motives of men have come before me and their time of being judged has begun.   Reach out and extend your hands to those who are lost and to those who need change and directions in their lives. Become an agent for change, renewal, deliverance, and joy. When the darkness is removed from a person/situation then my grace and anointing comes upon them and so does the joy of my presence. So, many whose hearts have become faint need My transformation now. There are also those who have been transformed by the sacrifice they have made in their life’s experiences and my cleansing consecration will supply fresh oil to renew and restore many.   So stretch, reach beyond your borders and extend the grace that I have given you to others as they reach forth to grab your hand. Cover others with my love and protection, and you will see a new people arise carrying a healing balm---where pain and despair once were. And they will be joined to become one with their fellow brethren---to walk together and establish my will and purpose in the earth. Some things must be totally torn down as I build the new in its place. In desperation, men will try to repair that which cannot be repaired, because within it are evil intentions. So it will be destroyed, so that those intentions will not be able to pollute others. So seek me concerning all things, because I am removing those things - and that will be the conclusion of that matter.   There is a changing of the guard, not just in this nation but within the various heads of government in other regions and lands, for they will be affected as well. Some will leave voluntarily, and others will be removed by the circumstances that they have allowed themselves to become entangled in. This nation has the war plans of the enemy hovering over it. Within those are seeds of hatred and the plots of the enemy that are trying to be used to destroy what I am about to redeem. So watch and pray.   John 9:4 KJV I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh , when no man can work. When I show you more of yourself, make the necessary adjustments as you go. Gird yourself with the truth of my word. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (I Peter 5:8, KJV). He is trying to tempt those who could become ensnared. Walk in obedience and the faith that I am releasing in this hour to guard over your mind and your spirit. Consistently buffet your flesh and deal with all areas of iniquity with open repentance, accountability, and reconciliation with me and all those affected. Remember, your flesh can be your own worst enemy when it is not under subjection.   “For the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it?”  Jeremiah 17:9   So I say to you, approach each day as a new opportunity to bring salt and light to others. Allow me to continue to reveal to you ----new light, new revelations of my love and truth. For in this hour, I shall reveal and unfold great mysteries. I am preparing an army of righteous warriors who go forth in the power of my Spirit to deal with and destroy the very strongholds that will stand before them. They shall walk in step and not break rank, and neither shall they be afraid, nor shall they be compromised. I am gathering a company of my people to go forth and carry a corporate anointing in this hour, with a diversity of ethnic backgrounds yet unified and walking in the same steps---a noble troop that will stand for honor and my purposes, and my work will be established and the gospel shall be heralded in the marketplace and upon the housetops. And it will begin a new fellowship for my people, for I shall do it, says the Lord.    “I say unto the daughter of Zion, behold thy salvation cometh, behold his reward is with him and his work is before him.” Isaiah 62:11.   From now unto the ending of this year and the unfolding of the new year will see much acceleration and change.        Ezekiel 12:28 KJV--Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall     none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

Part II Still Stretching

November 19, 2010  Isaiah 54:2 (KJV)  Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; Isaiah 54:2 (The Message) Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent pegs deep. Let these simple words of instruction speak to your heart today! Enlarge the place of thy tent----grow wide and depth, clear lots of ground for your tents! 1.      Increase your capacity for God’s dwelling place within you. 2.      Increase your level of understanding and hearing from Him. 3.      Remember your identity must be lined up with His image—His likeness, His mindset. 4.      Clear the ground—remove all bitterness, strife, and envy; Get all the weeds out of the way!! 5.      Get ready for expansion. 6.      Think big!!!----don’t be narrow in your thinking about what God is doing in your life. 7.      Pray yourself strong. Set a high standard because you represent Him—study His words thoroughly---meditate upon His words deeply. Let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations. 1.      Let your covering (spiritual and natural) extend the entire length of your life (habitation). 2.      Remember that in the multitude of counselors there is safety and wisdom (Proverbs 11:14 KJV Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.) (Proverbs 24:6 KJV For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in the multitude of counselors there is safety.)—Don’t be without spiritual covering. 3.      Stretch out yourself in the things of God for it will cover you, protect you, and even speak of whose you are—you will be identified with Him—for He covers you. Spare not---don’t limit what you give to God and the work of the kingdom. 1.      Selfishness is not in God’s DNA 2.      In fact, He gave His only begotten son---he didn’t spare His level of sacrifice nor should we---time, effort, substance—He is our source. Lengthen thy cords (ropes) (use plenty of rope) 1.      Cords---can bind---and restrain---we must walk in a place of temperance (self control) over the appetites of the flesh---Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14 (NKJV) 2.      Use plenty of rope---rope ties things firmly in place.  Rope can be used to bind things into place or loose (release something that which must go). 3.      Make proper adjustments as you go—the more the Lord reveals to you about you---make changes—adjust the way you do things---always allow yourself to be accountable to God, His word, and to leadership—if you refuse that, it could be the turning point for your elevation. Also remember that purging and pruning are necessary for enlargement. Strengthen thy stakes (drive the tent pegs deep); Your stakes hold your foundation in place. 1.      If your foundation is upon truth, then the building will stand—because the truth will be able to bear up under any circumstances. The word of God---sound doctrine---must be the stakes that are driven into the ground to hold up that which is established by His word in your life. Matthew 7:24-25 KJV Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 2.      Let your stakes (foundations in Him) run deep in your heart, soul, and mind.  Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Don’t let anything take away from the foundations that define the significant places of your life in the Lord. Keep it ---guard over it. Be careful what you allow yourself to see, hear, observe, and to speak to you. ·        Remember, Matthew 12:34 tells us that when Jesus addressed the Pharisees he told them, “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Guard your speech carefully.) ·        The enemy loves to pollute the very things that God strengthens in you, in order to lesson the power of God that is working on the inside of you. Guard--- Watch areas that the Lord uses in your life—stay ever repentant, and walk in continuous revival with your brothers and sisters in Christ. If you dance ---watch your feet: guard over your steps—even the places that you walk. If you sing or preach, pray and teach--- watch your mouth---watch how you use your voice-especially what you say. The Lord says, increase your capacity to receive from Me everything you need—I am preparing you, molding you, and making you---for truly, you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this! I shall release you in this hour, so that you might fulfill the work that is being established. So keep stretching---keep growing---for the best is yet to come!!
