A Man of “Dark Secrets”
by Mark Wattenford
I feel the Lord and His Presence. I perceive His Glory and His
Voice. I stand before the Lord in prayer – seeking His Word and His
deliverance. I look out into the land and see that He is drawing
people into His Kingdom…. His Presence and Glory is with me, but just
beyond my reach. The Lord stands in front of me and I want to be
with Him. He knows my frame and my frailities. He stretches forth
His hand in comfort and blessing.
The Day of Resurrection draws near. Sons and daughters will stand in
His stature, and not their own. The eyes of His sons and daughters
will be fiery and will discern the thoughts and hearts of men. This
generation shall not pass away before they see the handiwork of God
and His salvation which was purchased for ALL men. The “wind” will
increase. Men will see the works of God manifested in their midst
and wonder.
Surely His power will stretch out over the whole Earth and men will
tremble, but Nations will gather together in counsel to make war
with the Lamb and with His saints, for they care not for His
purposes. They desire kingdoms without God. These are the haters of
Christ and His Body. The mysteries of God will be unveiled.
I hear a voice crying out, “What has happened to my gold?” For their
“gold” no longer will buy them bread. Those who were “great” in the
eyes of men – have become as dust. Then shall a man arise and the
Nations of the world will stop and wonder. They are drunk from the
words of his speech. They seek him out and he is “lifted up” but in
his train are found captive the souls of men. His plan is peace, but
destruction follows him. He stands for himself and opposes God. He
sends his prophet out to further deceive the people. This is a “man
of might” who knows dark secrets. His one eye is darkened and his
arm does not move. The nations drink up his words like sweet wine.
The nations give their allegiance to him. Look to Israel and PRAY
FOR HER! For she is the “apple of God’s eye” and those who seek to
rob and plunder her have sought to rub and plunder HIM.
But the Lord’s “LIGHT” will yet shin into the darkness. Rejoicing
and Praise shall be the sound of “this chosen generation.” Wisdom,
revelation and understanding will abound. In His prophets will the
Sword of the Spirit flow forth and cleave the darkness.
Behold! His government will arise from the ashes of the sons of men
and yet rebuild His Temple!

Give Birth in the Battle!
Debra Westbrook
There are people, pregnant with God-given vision and
dreams, that are still standing behind enemy lines,
fighting him as he hurls insults, accusations, and lies
towards God's people. Weariness has settled on many of
God's people when they should be rising up in a newness of
faith and a sureness of purpose. This should not be for as
I saw this picture unfold before me, I realized that God
was making a way where there seemed to be no way, telling
those still waiting for an opportune time that now is the
time to walk forth and get ready to give birth in the
midst of the battle.There will be no cease fire for the
battle wages fearlessly around us but the army of the Lord
is called forth to walk this day, in faith, crossing lines
of demarcation that the enemy has drawn in the sand,
taunting and accusing God's people even now. Walk forth
and step forth by faith! Give birth in the midst of the
battle!
The Lord impressed upon my heart that this is His kairos
moment, a divine window of opportunity orchestrated by His
hand. I saw the enemy draw these lines in the sand,
leading many of the remnant to still believe that they can
go no further. He has boxed you in and many remain bound
to His lies. So many have stayed pregnant behind enemy
lines, boxed in by the enemy's lies, strategies, and
tactics. You have waged war against doubt and unbelief,
fought against confusion, yet there is no more waiting.
Step forth.
Many are weary, for that which you are carrying is long
overdue, so you feel heavy and weighted down. You are
fighting an unnecessary battle and the enemy is wearing
you out, that is his tactic.......you have the weapon of
victory. Faith to believe in the promises of an almighty
God. Only believe! Step forth by faith on the surety of
God's revealed promises to you for faithful is He who
called you, and He will do it. Get ready to give birth in
the midst of battle. The enemy will not give up for he is
a roaring lion seeking whom He may devour but greater is
He that is within you, great and mighty. Once again, I
heard the Lord say there will be no cease fire for these
are the last hours and though the enemy will be relentless
in his pursuit of your destruction, great is the Lord and
worthy to be praised.
Many babies will be birthed quickly and suddenly as you
step forth by faith for without faith it is impossible to
please God. What are you waiting for? I saw many
ministries ready to be birthed in the dawning of the Third
Day of His power. Out on the battlefield, in the midst of
accusations that fly overhead, lies trying to penetrate
your identity in Christ Jesus, so shall your victory be
assured as you rise up in faith to possess what is
rightfully yours in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is
victorious and shall prevail in all things. Do not
hesitate for he who hesitates is lost, losing a sense of
prophetic vision and purpose. The weapons you possess are
not carnal but are mighty to pulling down strongholds. The
time is now. Step forth and give birth in the midst of the
battle. The Lord God is your stronghold and protector. He
is your deliverer! He will hem you in, front and back as
you give birth and that which you thought was impossible
will be possible as you change positions to give birth on
the battle field.

Protect Your Foundations
Ras Robinson
At all cost protect your foundations. There are those
today who mean well that are chipping away at the age-old foundations.
Beware of false teachers and false prophets in this very hour. They are
going about throughout the earth and are spreading lies that appear to
be the truth. The deceptive lies that are being told are so close to
the truth that the lie is often imperceptible. But the tare is in the
wheat; the leaven is in the dough. Turn to me now. Turn to my word.
Hold close to the plumb line of my word and together there will be
restoration of the foundations. Happy will be the people who come to
the truth and know my foundations are still in place. It is time to
build the temple of the Third Day. It will be build upon the restored
foundation.
Isaiah 58:12 "And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the
repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell.”

The Baptism of Fire
Michael Watson
The Baptism of Fire is a refining fire to burn off the old dross, and to prepare the
BRIDE for Jesus' coming. It is a baptism into Jesus.
It is a baptism into his PERSON in such a way that it
will flow out of the Church to the whole world. IT
WILL FLOW OUT AS A NEW EXPRESSION OF HIS MERCY AND
GRACE. This is the understanding that I received, as
a Watchman, from the Spirit of the Living God.
Please understand this: The Bride is not the
Christian Church. The Bride is the New Jerusalem
coming down from heaven. It is composed of all the
saved, both gentile and Jew. Also, by the term Church
I do not mean buildings or professing Christians. The
true Church is made up of living stones which are the
true believers who have Jesus Christ as their Head and
Chief Cornerstone, and the prophets and apostles as
their foundation.
We are told that it is Jesus who is the Baptizer with
the Holy Ghost and Fire:

How It Pleases Me
Glenn H. Jackson
"HOW IT PLEASES ME WHEN MY CHILDREN'S LOVE BURNS FOR ME -
AND FOR EACH OTHER"
Take heed My children that the light which is in
You be not darkness; for truly I say to you this day, the
darkness of men's hearts will be dispelled by the light of
My Word, as they seek My face; but woe to those who seek
Me in vain, for truly I say to you, they shall not see My
face and they shall persecute My beloved ones; for the
truth is not in them and they view all things with the
eyes of their flesh. But to My handmaidens and
bondservants has been given the freedom which comes only
from the knowledge of the truth, in order that they might
lead My children into the fullness of the land which I
have prepared for them. Consecrate yourselves, My beloved
ones, for truly I say to you, I will perform great signs
and wonders amongst you and the peoples shall know that
you are Mine and they shall see that My Glory rests upon
you"....
"BE NOT DECEIVED"
THE GREAT DANGER OF "SELF-IMPORTANCE"
"YOU SHALL NEVER BE ALONE"
"THOSE WHO SEEK TO WALK IN THE FULLNESS OF THE MINISTRY
WHICH I HAVE CALLED THEM TO CAN RETAIN NO NATURAL LOYALTY" ...."All the things that you do must be
"measured" in relation to My Kingdom being furthered. To
the degree that it serves to further the Kingdom of God in
the earth, it is to that degree, and that degree alone
that it is "profitable"....
"CORRECTION AND ACCUSATION"
...."Perhaps those who "rail" against My
faithful and obedient ones for being separated unto Me in
perfect fellowship, think, in their perversity, that Moses
should have been down "helping" the children of Israel
build the "golden calf" instead of fellowshipping with Me,
in preparation for the carrying out of My holy
purposes!"....
...."The very thing or things that My children
believe might be a "hindrance" or a "bondage" to them as
they seek only to fulfill My will, is the "catalyst" which
shall propel them to the highest place of "ascension"....
"HOLD FAST IN YOUR PERSEVERANCE"
"YOU SHALL HAVE THE CONTINUED UNDERSTANDING AND
DISCERNMENT TO "JUDGE" MY PEOPLE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS"
So fear not what others may think, My faithful
and obedient ones, only rest in the assurance of My peace
and I shall make you, and those with you a great "sign and
wonder" that shall continually confound all those whose
hearts are hardened towards Me, and continually bless and
prosper all those whose hearts are towards Me. Know this!
: that you, and all those with you shall have a
superabundance of My wisdom and power, which shall cause
you to "transcend" and overcome in ALL things and, as you
acknowledge Me in all your ways I shall surely direct your
paths and you shall have the continued understanding and
discernment to "judge" My people in righteousness"...

The Art of True Worship
A.W. Tozer
It remains only to be said that worship as we have described it here
is almost (though, thank God, not quite) a forgotten art in our day.
For whatever we can say of modern Bible-believing Christians, it can
hardly be denied that we are not remarkable for our spirit of
worship. The gospel as preached by good men in our times may save
souls, but it does not create worshipers.
Our meetings are characterized by cordiality, humor, affability, zeal
and high animal spirits; but hardly anywhere do we find gatherings
marked by the overshadowing presence of God. We manage to get along
on correct doctrine, fast tunes, pleasing personalities and religious
amusements.
How few, how pitifully few are the enraptured souls who languish for
love of Christ....
If Bible Christianity is to survive the present world upheaval, we
shall need to recapture the spirit of worship. We shall need to have
a fresh revelation of the greatness of God and the beauty of Jesus.
We shall need to put away our phobias and our prejudices against the
deeper life and seek again to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He
alone can raise our cold hearts to rapture and restore again the art
of true worship. That Incredible Christian, 130-131.
"Lord, help me personally, and then as a church leader, to do my
part to help us to 'raise our cold hearts to rapture and restore
again the art of true worship.' May it no longer be said, at least
in my sphere of influence, that true worship is 'a forgotten art.'
Amen."

Fullness in Christ Church, Pastor
Fort Worth, TX
http://www.fullnessonline.org
rasrobinson@fullnessonline.org I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose
shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost And with Fire." - - Matthew 3:11

watchman26101@yahoo.com
...."How it pleases Me when My children's love
burns for Me - and for each other. For then they become
bright shining lights to a world which is inhabited by
darkness. For truly, truly I say to you this day, the
world shall know those who are truly Mine, by the love
which they have for one another; for in these last days
great manifestations of My love shall be poured forth upon
My children. Truly I say to You that the days of darkness
in My church are at an end. I shall separate the chaff
from the wheat. I shall shake and I shall purify My
people, for there are many who worship Me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from Me. My church, up to this
point, has allowed herself to be infested by the "spirit
of the world" and this is truly an abomination in My
sight! For evil men have been made to sit in the high
places, men whose hearts serve only the lusts of their
flesh. They worship Me in vain, holding fast to, and
teaching as doctrines, the precepts of men. Truly, truly,
I say to you this day, the hearts of men will be laid bare
for all to view and all will reap as to what they have
sown. Those who have sown according to My will, in joy and
gladness, but to the sons of disobedience, corruption and
fire!
...."It is an "intense" warfare that I have
called you to, My beloved ones - one which does not allow
for anything apart from My
"provision". Therefore set yourself apart from "all" those
things which would influence you in any way to drop your
guard - and thus lose your "intensity" for the fulfillment
of My purposes. My grace is sufficient for you to rise
above all that which the Evil One "attempts". Be sober and
vigilant and do not hesitate to use, as it seems good to
you, the "potent" sword which I have blessed you with and
truly I say to you, you shall "inflict" great damage upon
Satan and his strongholds. Be not deceived! Know that
"all" those words which I have spoken to you shall come to
pass in "My" time and truly I say to you that time is
now!"....
...."There is a great danger of
"self-importance" creeping into the lives of all those who
are called to walk and minister on the "front lines". For
it is in this place that My great and awesome power is
most freely manifested and thus, unless one's eyes are
fixed upon Me at "all" times, as they carry out My will,
one shall "begin to see", and then seek to retain their
position of authority. But, in their refusal to be
motivated solely by the Spirit of the Cross, that true
authority shall become "false authority:, as they strive
to maintain their appearance before men, apart from
Me"....
...."You shall never be "alone" as I send you
forth to "confront" the "vessels of evil" in My church,
but you will "feel" like it, and you shall be placed in
numerous situations wherein you must choose to do what
"seems good to you". Hence the preparation in prayer, the
constant setting of the mind and the heart on the things
above, the bringing captive of "every" thought to
obedience - leading to the renewing of the mind and the
infilling of the heart. All of these things shall serve
you well! For is this not the "consummate" act of faith -
to have "no evidence" on which to base one's words or
action, besides that which fills the heart?"....
...."Those who seek to walk in the fullness of
the ministry which I have called them to can retain no
"natural" loyalty; for to the degree that they retain such
loyalty, it is to that degree that the revelation of My
will for their lives shall be "clouded", and in this
cloudiness (darkness) they shall fall short of even
receiving the "fullness" of the "grand vision" - which is
My will for their lives"....
...."How can My "ministers" walk in an
"absolute" sensitivity if they choose not to abide and
walk moment to moment in the revelation of My Word and by
the unction of My Spirit? The line between "correction"
and "accusation" is very fine, yet the poles (sources) are
"worlds" apart. Always remember this: that My people would
not be condemning and accusing each other if their hearts
were right before Me!"....
...."This is a time of great victory, My beloved
ones, for all those who have chosen the "narrow" path of
perfect obedience. Hold fast in your perseverance and know
that I shall, to an ever increasing degree, show Myself
strongly on your behalf, and on the behalf of those with
you"....
...."If My children strive in their "own"
strength to obey Me, then it is certain that if the
"blessings" of obedience were to "overtake" them, that
they would "claim" the glory for themselves. As My
"superabundant" prosperity overtakes all those who "dwell
(abide) in My presence", and as I continually show Myself
stronger and stronger on their behalf, it is certain that
there will be those who revile them and accuse them of the
very things that they themselves do. When they see the
superabundant material wealth they will say that, "money
is your god", but truly I say to you, I shall make all
things become evident and each and every one who crosses
their path - one way or another - shall come to the
knowledge that ALL that they "possess", spirit, soul, body
and materially is a product of faithful obedience to My
Word!
