Coming Judgments
Lanell Miller
Now is the time to be preparing for the coming judgments as well as
revival. Our part is to consecrate our self, and be repented up, ready
to meet God face to face. If we have not prepared our selves, we will
shrink back to destruction. We cannot judge our own heart, but must
bring our selves before the Lord for Him to show us the defilements of
our heart. Then we can truly repent and be changed. The trumpet has
sounded for the church to "awake" and "arise and shine." The great
battle has begun. The enemy forces are positioned and advancing, and a
large part of the church does not know what is about to happen. It's
time to sound the alarm. Soon we will know who are the wise virgins and
who are the foolish virgins.

Fields of Fire
Chad Taylor
In this hour I am setting the foxes tails on fire says the Lord and
releasing them into the fields. From
that fire will emerge a great harvest. It will separate the wheat
from the chaff and an army will appear.
I will place a firebrand from My altar upon their lips and they will
declare My will upon the earth. From
that fire the words will be heard, "Here am I send me."
Only those that have My fire in their heart will stand in those
fields says the Lord. "Whose fan is in
His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His
wheat into the garner, but He will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:12). A supernatural
grace will be granted to reap and
faint not and My church shall be positioned for harvest.
I will fan the flames of fire on the fields burning white and an army
will appear. "like the noise of a
flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in
battle array." (Joel 2:5). The day of
the Lord has drawn near. In the valley of decision the multitudes
have gathered together. They are on
fire says the Lord! They are on fire!
Tongues of fire will be seen over the heads of My people in this
hour. The marketplace will be lit up by
their presence and the masses shall cry in one accord, "we hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful
works of God." (Acts 2:11). I will burn up the baskets the hide My
glory says the Lord, I will remove the
restraint that keep My people in hiding. They will emerge from the
shadow of their temples and buildings
with My glory.
A fear will come upon the cities and streets as My power is revealed.
As in the days of old entire cities
will shake under the weight of My glory and presence. "And fear came
upon every soul and many wonders and
signs were done." (Acts 2:43). The streets will fill with fire and an
eruption of My grace shall be seen.
My ministers and ministries will invade the marketplaces and business
places with My presence and power.
No longer hiding in the closets of preparation.
Cities in this hour will be known by revival or riot. They will be
marked by one or the other says the
Lord. As in the days of Paul they will move under the shaking of My
presence or they will deny me and
their lamp stand will be removed. My church will be shaken first by
My presence and the cry of boldness
will be heard throughout the land.

My Fire Will Change the Landscape
Dennis Drewlo
The Fire of God will change the landscape. Things will not look as
they did in the past. I will burn the field to bring new growth. New
fruit
will come as a result of the fire.
Your intercession and supplication will fuel the fire. They will be a
spark that brings revival. They will fuel the furnace. The furnaces of
worship and intercession will bring revival.
My fire will come with a price. I will burn down all that is not of
me.
Impurities will be removed. I will separate the wheat from the chaff,
the impurities from the pure gold.
I will burn the idols and those things that stand between you and the
altar. Those things that keep My people from coming before me will
be lost in the fire.
Come to me to be burned. Be soaked in the Water of My Spirit, for
wet wood burns easier than dry. You, who are trees of righteousness -
the planting of the Lord.
The coming fire will change cities. Cities will see revival as never
before. The fire will ride upon the waters of the River. Ever-
increasing
oil will flow though the cities. You will not recognize the cities
that
are touched by My Fire, for they will be burned beyond recognition.
I will burn down the old, dead structures to make room for what I am
about to build. New fruit and a great Harvest is coming.
You who gather in intercession will contain and spread the Fire, for I
am raising up a generation of "holy arsonists" who will set whole
cities
and nations ablaze with the power of the Gospel.
The coming fire will refine the anointing that I have placed within
you
so that what is given out will be pure.
New fire will come to your worship. The worship that is to come will
change the climate of cities, for it will be fueled by the fire that
is to
come. The flames will burn open the veil and bring My people into the
Holy of Holies, and worship will rise to a higher level.
I will burn down the structures of the enemy. New age and man's
religious structures will be destroyed. Anything that does not bear my
image will be destroyed, and you will see My reflection in the fire.
I will burn down walls that divide My people. The coming fire will
bring
unity to My Church, that will end class warfare in the Body and I will
finally have the spotless, fire-breathing Bride I have dreamed of.
Change is coming! Get ready! I will breathe on you, My Church. But
this time I will breathe My Fire upon you. My fire will go forth -
straight
for the things that keep you from fulfilling your prophetic destiny.
The fire that is coming, no man will be able to quench. It will be an
irresistible fire. It will change the way you think. It will change
your
value. It will prove what is important to you. It will show you what
you
are made of.
I have called you to be vessels of fire, to bring forth My Word. I
will
change the land. I will do it through you. Call down fire from heaven
to
go forth before you.
The fire is coming, My Church. Change is coming through the fire.

Sweep It Clean
Ras Robinson
I want to make a clean sweep in your
life. It is time to move up higher. And I am bidding you to come up
here. I want you here. You belong up here because this is your home.
The earth is not your home. You are to start living in the heavenlies
with me. After all, you will spend eternity here. And as you do this,
I will be able to exchange your life for mine in very practical ways so
that you become as I am in the world. This is what I have been waiting
for. It is what you have been waiting for. But you must sweep clean
your soul and body of all sin and impurities. Even the smallest crumbs
and grit make a difference. This must be done before I can make a clean
sweep in your life. My grace is sufficient alright. And my work is all
finished except that you and I must partner in this. I will neither
violate nor supercede your will. I must have you total cooperation and
absolute obedience. Together, we attain to and accomplish the great
quest of abundant and supernatural life. Do not leave little morsels of
food for the enemy to be fed. Pat attention to each detail. Sweep
clean. I will join you. No ground left for the Devil. Sweep it clean.
Fullness in Christ Church, Pastor
Take A Stand In Unity
Marsha Burns
Rise up, people of the Lord. Take a stand
in unity against sin and defilement. I will cause you to
tear down the ancient heights and level the strongholds. I
tell you that you are not alone, for I have sent My
warring angels to fight on your behalf. Haven't I said
that if you ask, I will give you the nations for your
inheritance? Arise with a heart of determination and a
will to overcome. Behold, the court has been seated, and a
judgment has been made in your favor. It is time for you
to possess the kingdom. Jeremiah 42:10 'If you will still
remain in this land, then I will build you and not pull
you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I
relent concerning the disaster that I have brought upon
you."

I'd Rather Be Blind
Bob Yaussy
Dear ones, Oh, this evening, the Holy Spirit compells me. "I Am
touching your eyes, I Am giving you sight." By His grace, earthly
matters and carnal understanding are being washed away. For so many
years, I have cried......Jesus, have mercy on me, I cannot see. How
impatient, even angry toward me.....my christian brothers who would
wish my silence. Still, I would cry out even louder...."there's
something more, there's more, there's more! Most of these claim they
are in need of nothing. "We see, we see"......and know not that they
are miserable, poor, blind and naked.
"You cannot see except you be made blind."
I've been having this dream, and my thoughts, my whole day at times
is focused there. It's a place where one receives a tattoo. So
real, even the sound of that instrument, whatever they call it. The
first time it was just a plain outline of a dove on my forehead, very
plain and simple. Then....another time.....I am led into the same
place as a blind man trying to see through the fog. I protested
receiving the tattoo on my forehead, questioning why there and not on
my arm. The ordeal ended with my image in the mirror.....and the
most beautiful picture of a dove on my forehead.
Joh 9:39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,
that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
made blind.
To know Him, to really know Him......is only by revelation. Oh have
we yet penetrated the breadth, depth and height? Have we a firm
comprehension of His Nature, His Character?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no
sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn
from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon
line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this
people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the
weary to rest......
Crying as Bartimaeus...."Lord, that I might receive my sight"

Joy
Candi Gurney
My joy SHALL be your strength!
Do you KNOW My joy? Really know what My joy is? My joy is not happiness,
although it can produce happiness. My joy is the rock of your salvation.
Of KNOWING your salvation in My Son.
I have promised that My joy shall be your strength. When what is before you
seems an insurmountable obstacle My joy shall well up from within your
spirit to sustain you. It is there, for your resource of strength, as I
have promised. Stop striving and analyzing what is before you and STOP that
My joy may well up from within.
Are you not "saved" of eternal death and separation from Me? Does that not
bring you great joy?
Do I not hear your dreams, desires, aspirations? I placed them within you;
and My joy shall be your strength in fulfilling them.
Do you know MY JOY? MY JOY, is seeing you, My Children, using, experiencing
My joy, which is freely given. Seeing you go from a wrinkled, furrowed brow
to a softened, gentled smile of remembrance of Me.
MY JOY is watching My children bask in My glory refilling their joy-cups.
My joy brings with it TRUST. Trust and faith. They are partnered with My
joy. And I long to pour it forth upon and within you. To saturate you into
a puddle of giggles! Let go, and let Me. For then MY JOY shall, too, be
ignited!
Many times My fire accompanies My joy, which shall burn within your hearts
giving you energy and sustanence in a different way. To keep My vision open
and ever before you. There before your very hearts and eyes... My vision.
Other times My peace accompanies My joy giving you a calm assurance of My
presence. My peace which de-stresses and shrinks mountains, laying them
low. My peace which brings also, confidence. Confidence in Me.
My joy, do you desire it? My joy, do you want it? MY JOY, giving it to
you. Now receive, My children. Receive. Just stand and receive My joy;
and I shall receive Mine!
Be filled with My joy and be blessed. Be filled with My joy and bless. Be
filled with My joy and be encouraged. Be filled with My joy and encourage.
Be filled with My joy and be loved. Be filled with My joy and love. Be
filled with My joy and be served. Be filled with My joy and serve.
Ah, yes, MY JOY do I have for all My children. More than enough for all.
Here, I give it to you. Here, take it. Here, receive of it and Me.
Revival Joy. Do you hear? Revival Joy. Do you feel it? Revival Joy. Do
you desire it? Revival Joy to revive your souls, My children.
Receive.......... now.............
In His service and to His eternal glory!
Father Forgive Us
Betty
Father forgive us for getting so trashy with our love for you. There is not the respect that you deserve. Jesus you’re the Christ the Son of the living God. We think that if nothing is
happening in the excitement way that nothing is happening, and we are bored.
Father forgive us for being so carnal minded, that we have to do the worlds ways to enter into the church and thrill us.
Father Forgive us for not honoring your name as Jesus Christ taught us to say. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Father we considered you so lightly, that if you
don’t hear us immediately we pout as children and go and do our own thing to bring something about. All of the works of our own hands is nothing but filthy rags. Open up our eyes
to see and behold your awesome holiness.
Father we stand at the gate of revival and we still want our own way, and do our own things. We still think we know what is best and the best way for revival to come. Oh Father
revival is not getting people saved, but it is getting the church clean. Getting our hands clean to do the work through your Holy Spirit.
Father forgive us for not really wanting your kind of revival. Father please; please revive this one that is writing this now, and the one who is reading this now. We need you in all of
our ways. Father I have been so blinded to my own way, that I could not say I need you more than what I have. Father I need you more than what I had yesterday, more than when I
first met your Son Jesus Christ.
Father Hallowed be your Holy, Holy, Holy Name. May your Name be exalted in my life, and may your Holy Spirit have his rightful rule in my life. We need you and we need revival to
come, and I know revival comes with repentance in turning from our sinful ways that we have been doing and still are doing.
Father Hallowed, Sanctified, Holy Set Apart, Deified, Sacred be your Holy Name. We bow our knees before your throne and cry out Not my will, but your will to be done in our lives, so
that the life of Jesus Christ can be seen in the church. Draw me and we will run after you.
We come to worship your Great and Awesome Name Father. We come to honor the Great Name of Jesus Christ. Jesus in his earthly time here always met you in a special place.
Near Mount Olives, and not to far from there was a place called Gethsemane, where he went often to pray and to seek your face. Teach us how to humble ourselves, and to seek
your face, and pray and turn from our wicked ways. You promised that you would hear from heaven and heal our land. Father in your word, you stated that we are a Chosen people a
royal priesthood and a holy nation. We are to show forth the Praises of you who brought us out of darkness, and into your marvelous light. Your church is the land that you were
talking about when you said I will heal your land. For if the church is not healed, how will people get saved.
In the days of his flesh Jesus offered up definite, special petitions for that which he not only wanted, but also needed and supplications with strong crying and tears to you, for you
were always able to save him out from death, and you heard him because of his reverence towards you, his godly fear, his piety and that he shrank from the horrors of separation
from the bright presence of you Father. [Hebrews 5:7]
Father we need that very godly fear and reverence that Jesus has that he would shrink in horror of be separated from your bright presence. Please revive that fear back into your
church, the body of Jesus Christ that we would know your displeasure of things that we do that is not right with you, and that would push your presence away. Oh Father forgive us for
being people pleasers instead of God pleasers. Father we have lost the joy of resting in you, and we because we think you are not moving fast enough we end up doing our own
thing. Father there is a perfect timing with you, and when by the power of your Holy Spirit we wait for you, we find the joy of doing your will and knowing we are in your will, and that you
are pleased with us, and waiting for you is walking in your faith. Thank you Father for hearing us and we ask that you would revive your people so they may rejoice in you again.
Psalms 51:10
Psalms 85:4 Restore us, O God of our salvation and cause your anger towards us to cease forever
Cause us to have a good fear of the Lord, for the fear of the Lord keeps one from sinning. Amen.
Jesus Christ Loves you.

Joy Of The Lord
Jehu and Jeroboam in the 21st Century
Chuck McLean
Jehu-- 2Kings chapters 9-10
God selected Jehu for the bloody task of executing judgment on the
family of Israel’s evil King Ahab. Jehu also killed Ahaziah, king of
Judah, who had allied himself with Ahab. He also killed Ahaziah’s
family. Jehu was a man who liked the specific task that the Lord
wanted done, whose weak and violent character fit the role of the
executioner.
Jehu proceeded to destroy Baal worship in Israel, killing all its
priests and destroying the temple of Baal once and for all. But this
was not because of his love for Jehovah, but because of his pleasure
in violence, and to secure his own power base. Note that one’s real
motivations can be masked when one is doing God’s purposes, but that
eventually those motives will be revealed.
God honored Jehu’s obedience in executing Ahab’s family, but allowed
Jehu’s heart to be revealed for what it was. Note 2Kings
10:29—"However, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of
Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden
calves at Bethel and Dan."
So Jehu’s actual character shows through after he performs his
initial ministry. While he does obey God initially, it is because
that is what suits him. He embraces the role of ruler and avenger. He
then attempts to hold his kingdom by his own power. But notice what
happens to the nation during Jehu’s actual rule: "In those days, the
Lord began to reduce the size of Israel." –2Kings 10:32. The Aramean
kingdom took over the eastern third of the Israelite territory by
force.
The power to oppose evil is not the same as doing good. How much
pleasure do we take in tearing down something that opposes God—and
why? The question becomes significant after that job is done. How
much of our zeal is holy and how much is carnal? We rejoice in the
destruction of religious bondages, sometimes because they oppose God,
and sometimes because of the wrongs we ourselves have suffered in the
past. But when we have set the captives free, do we focus on serving
them or do we look for another enemy to topple? The answer to this
question indicates whether we are executing God’s judgment or
exacting our own revenge.
The history of the church indicates that time and time again, men
have assaulted doctrinal heresy or religious bondage, only to lay the
foundation for new bondages on the ruins of the old. How soon after
Protestants escaped the Inquisition were they burning their own
heretics at the stake? Christians who rejected papal rule swiftly
replaced it with doctrinal orthodoxy, using the age-old tools of
politics and coercion to bind people to their new Protestant beliefs.
Same spirit, different manifestation.
Tearing down the kingdoms of men is not the same thing as seeking the
Kingdom of God.
The sin of Jeroboam-- 1Kings 12:26-33
A particular sin attached itself to almost every king of Israel after
Jeroboam. The phrase "He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam"
is the single common thread among all these kings. This sin is
manifesting itself even today. So what is it?
Remember that God had allowed Jeroboam to lead a revolt against
Solomon’s son Rehoboam, and had given him kingship over the majority
of the nation of Israel. But Jeroboam feared that if his subjects
went to Jerusalem to worship, they would revert to following the
house of David. In order to keep the Israelites away from Jerusalem,
and to cement his rule among the people, Jeroboam established an
alternative "hometown" religion—the worship of golden calves set up
at Bethel and Dan. He created a rough copy of Judaism in form,
complete with priests, sacrifices, and a knock-off of the Feast of
Tabernacles. His priests were not appointed by God, as Jeroboam set
in whoever volunteered for the job.
God gave Jeroboam the rule of Israel, in fulfillment of his judgment
against Solomon. But instead of recognizing the sovereignty of God
over the matter, he saw the kingdom as his own, and began to make
carnal plans to hold on to it. While Jeroboam was part of God’s
original move to punish sin, he quickly left God’s purposes. This
move has a modern parallel.
The current breakaway from the divisions of denominational churches
has resulted in a splintered mass of "independent" groups that often
coalesce behind dynamic international leaders. We are now seeing new
"associations" and "fellowships" and "movements" replacing the old.
What’s the real difference between creating a "Baptist denomination"
or a "Vineyard Church"? Or building a "Word of Faith" church instead
of a "Lutheran church" or a "MorningStar Fellowship of Churches"
church? These are all combinations of religious organizations unified
behind a common doctrinal belief system or behind a powerful
leadership.
I am not championing old denominations over new ones. Rather, I am
pointing out that they all sprout from the same root, and eventually
produce the same fruit. In every generation, men establish their own
religious kingdoms around their own ideas, and vehemently deny that
they are doing so. A generation or two down the line, people leave
those same kingdoms (now called denominations), decrying the rule of
the traditions of men. Many are like Jehu and rejoice in the
opportunity to hack at the existing religious hierarchy as they
depart. The cycle then repeats with new terminology and a new
generation of leaders.
Unfortunately, I see the spirit of Jeroboam assaulting many valid
moves of God. In the beginning, God gives a revelation or a work to
his children, and they begin to pursue his purposes. They recognize
and depart the kingdoms of men to seek the kingdom of God. But what
the enemy cannot stop, he will attempt to sidetrack. Fearing
criticism (or seeking approval) for their actions, God’s people often
begin to seek position and credibility for what God has called them
to do. Soon, they have business cards and church signs with clever
names and snatches of scripture as slogans. This is followed by
building tax-exempt religious corporations, assuming titles like
Founder or President or Pastor or Apostle, and building physical
edifices that validate their legitimacy as a "ministry" or a
"church".
Soon after this, we see mechanisms begin to emerge to draw in
potential "members". Billboards, direct-mail campaigns and "Bring A
Friend Sunday" become common tools. In order to keep members in "our
church", statements of faith, covenants of fellowship, tithe pledges,
and membership classes are developed. Soon, statements like, "We need
something for the pre-school kids, or families will go somewhere
else" take precedence over "What is God calling us to do?"
Eventually, "getting people to come to our church" becomes the actual
predominant work.
At this point, religious leaders have forged the golden calves of
Bethel and Dan. They have established religious activities and
worship centers to keep people coming to them, and to keep people
from following other leaders, just as Jeroboam did. They copy as many
of the old forms as needed to keep people happy. They are willing to
sacrifice as many sheep as necessary in defense of their practices or
their "ministry". They maintain their organization at almost any
cost. And in so doing, they lead God’s people away from God.
The simplicity of our calling is to do the works God has established
for us. We do not need to adopt current forms and traditional
trappings in order to be in God’s purposes. Servants do not build
kingdoms. Such activity is reserved for those who would be kings.
Being a genuine servant is an antidote for the temptations of the
spirit of Jeroboam.

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire. (Jude v. 23).
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were
assembled together; and they were all
filled with Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with
boldness. (Acts 4:31).
