Higher Ground

Bill Burns

The Lord says, I am about to bring My children to higher ground. I am bringing them up to the pastures in the green meadowlands where the grass has not been fowled, where there is still feed to be received, feed that will sustain you, where the cool waters flow. You can come to the place of comfort; you can be nourished and refreshed. You can come to the place where you know Me in the heart of the Father where we are bound together as one, you and I, for My purposes. My purposes are your purposes, for I have predestined you according to that purpose, and I am now leading you into the next phase, the next level. It is higher ground where you can be one with Me in My purpose, in this hour, for such a time as this. And, you would ask Me why? Because it has already been predestined, for I have a day, and I have an hour for all things. In that season and day of that unveiling all you have to do is be in unison with Me, and I will lead you forth into the places that I have prepared for you. I will reveal your destiny to you, and it will unfold before you. Then, you will say, "WOW! My God has done it again."

I say unto you, the next six months I am declaring a war against the enemy, and I am going to use you as My battle-axes. For, there are powers of darkness that are rising up even in this moment. They have sent their scouts out and have watched and seen your hearts. They have seen the anointing that I have brought upon this house. They know in part the plans that I have for such as place as this, a place of small beginnings. They are gathering themselves together in high places to come against you and try to steal from you that which I have purposed. I am raising you up as warriors. You will become My weapons of war under My covenant. You will go forth and strike the enemy. I say, you have purpose for the next six months. Take the ax and go. Go. Go. Go. Go up like Jonathan went up. Do not be afraid of the enemy, for when he gathers, I will strike him.

The Marriage Supper

Audette Johnson

"My Beloved Bride, where are you now? How can I bring you to the altar when you are in pieces? Have you ever heard of a groom bringing His bride to the altar by going around and bringing an arm, then the leg and the head? You must come together in order for me to come and take you!

Leaders, rise up against the enemy and take back the divisions he has placed among for I shall not go around piecing things together, you must come together in unity and spirit as did the early church which I left to you.

I also am viewing your garmets and as I spoke in my revelation prophecy that the garmets and the linen are white as snow! How can I take you with me in soiled garmets? You have let the enemy come in and soil the garmets and I am telling you now that I will come when you have cleaned them up. v I am here waiting and longing for you so that I can come, and I know you long for Me so! I say to you church leaders CLEAN UP THOSE SOILED GARMETS IN MY NAME! You know what to do. Let the Holy Spirit lead you in the cleansing process.

Leaders, go out to the congregation and make them clean as Moses and Aaron did in the wilderness! You must be the cleaners of my people. Go now and restore them to complete wholeness. You know what to do. Purge them of all uncleaness, all sickness, disease and abominations caused by demons and the flesh. You must do it for the time is upon us.

The Holy Spirit is prompting My prophets to tell you to clean the soiled garmets and prepare them to be white as snow so that My Bride will be ready when I come to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!"

Apostolic Move

UNDRAI FIZER

There are many who have received God's move as a "buzz word" or a new way to promote themselves. But truly, God is sending forth His servants to not only awaken the spirit of the Church to finally accept the functions of Apostles and Prophets and the criteria of being one, but He is sending His people to various places and experiences to awaken His Son Jesus in the hearts of the Church.

There are some in the "Body" that don't want the fullness of the Christ. They flock to the offices that God has re-activated in the mainstream Church, i.e., the apostle and prophet.

As we fight over who can be an apostle and who can be and a prophet, the Body still walks in fear and apprehension of one another and are trying not to be "beat or outsmarted" by the other.

There is no unity of the faith, no passion to live or die for one another (dying to our egos and inner apprehensions of one another).

The apostles and prophets are here and doing their job. But, just as it was in Jesus' day, the Church is perceiving that the apostles and prophets were "coming in another way or administration."

The people could not receive Christ because they thought He was coming for "their own personal agendas and to overthrow the Roman government."

"Messiah" was the buzz word of their day. But, He came another way, a way so different that the people doubted that the "Messiah Move" had ever arrived. But He did arrive.

Some believers in the Church are looking for "something", an individual, a style, or a result, from the apostolic and prophetic that is not promised.

The move is not something to be approved by human wisdom or preference. The anointings have come to stir up Christ in the hearts of the Church (people). It has come to cause us to be inspired by the things that inspired Christ.

Are we moved by the things that moved Jesus? Is the Holy Spirit giving us the same passion for the will and purposes of God as it gave Jesus? The apostolic and prophetic flow is to spark that hunger and point us into the direction of the inner life and presence of Christ. Then we as the Church will do the works that Christ did and love the way Christ loved.

We cannot do what He did until we are inspired the way He was inspired...

MAKING ROOM FOR CHANGE

Sandy Warner

Hi Loved Ones, This week two Words came to me that were significant and I want to share them with you. One was, "A change is coming." The other was, "A changing of the guards." When the Lord breathes upon His Words, there are as many applications as there are people to apply them. His Word is alive and bears witness at so many levels that we can barely touch the surface. However, I would like to share with you what these Words mean to me, in hopes that it will touch and encourage some of you.

This year the Lord gave Bobby Conner a Word that said something like, "Brace yourselves, the hand of God is coming down to uproot everything He has not planted, in order to establish His government." This has proven true in my life, for it is as though He has been peeling away layers of old, dead and buried things. I made mention to this in 4 other postings this year. (Circumcision at Gilgal, stripping Lazarus' grave clothes, and peeling away band-aides and barnacles.) As He carefully exposed old wounds it was as though He gave me a 2nd chance to respond to them appropriately with forgiveness when necessary, and also personal repentance. He has even taken me back to my foundations before I was born, to repent for the sins of my ancestors.

Sometimes when we are in the midst of a cleansing process, the enemy confuses us, and we are overcome by dirt and grime and can't see the forest through the trees. I was ready for a change. I have a friend who has been house cleaning after years of collection, and has taken several trips to the dump. I kept telling her the Lord was removing the garbage from her life, so that she could have room for the new when it comes. She had a dream this week that was quickened to me concerning a prophetic experience I'd just had.

In the dream she saw this horse running around whinnying to all the animals in the field. It was beautifully free as it shook its head. Then in the next scene she saw this huge, pile of excess baggage being carted off. Above and below the baggage were moving captions like on the tail end of a movie. She kept trying to read the captions, but they were moving too fast to read them.

I felt the Lord was saying that we were trying to focus on the old garbage, and it was already being removed. We wanted to linger and figure it all out, but He was already moving on towards this coming change. A few days ago, I was feeling quite slimed from the enemy. I was more upside down then right side up, after having so many layers removed this year. This brought me to a place where I was starting to flinch. Sometimes when we go through a great battle, we come out the other end, gun shy and jumping at the least little thing. That is how I was feeling. So this strange experience occurs..

I was at my desk and needed to go to the restroom. I grabbed my reading glasses to put them on my desk. My hand was in midair before I realized my glasses were not on my face. I stared at my empty hand, wondering why I would do such a strange thing and started to giggle. A couple minutes later in the restroom I grabbed the toilet paper and pulled it down. Only the toilet paper is not there either! My husband had torn out the bathroom floor a few days before (layers peeled away, exposing foundations) and the toilet paper roll had not yet been remounted on the wall. I stared at my empty hand and laughed as I understood the Word of the Lord, given to me with such clarity.

WORD TO PONDER "I have removed the old dead layers in your life. I did not expose them for you to linger over them. They are GONE. They are but filthy rags and they are GONE. You are still trying to see though old lenses, but they are GONE. You are shadow boxing with nothing. They are GONE. You are wincing. They are GONE. You are trying to figure it all out. They are GONE. Your past is GONE. Yes, it takes time for you to make the adjustment while old patterns repeat themselves. But you will soon see they are just empty motions.

For I have brought you into a new place. A place of freedom. A place of purity, where the dry rot of flesh has been purged, where the smelly places have been removed. You remember the shame, the filth, the slime, and yet I have already installed a new foundation beneath your feet. It is already in place and you have yet to realize it.

Even now, I want to bring a new change to your door. Places where you have been the tail, I will make you the head. And where you have been trampled upon by the enemy, you will suddenly rise and place him beneath you. The enemy thought he could take advantage of what I have been stripping in your life. But I AM Sovereign and nothing, no not anything shall by any means hurt you! I AM the Master Surgeon, and I restore, making all things beautiful. Fear not, for I have done a good thing. Let the past go, remove it. For now I bring to you My change. If you wince and stay buried in the past, it hinders this new thing I want to do in your midst. Rejoice with Me, and laugh hilariously, for all of heaven laughs with Me as we see the enemy beneath your feet.

"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." Ps 2:2-4 KJV [end of Word to Ponder]

So how does this fit with a changing of the guards? I believe this powerful change is going to filter down from the very top levels of government to the very bottom of our personal lives. In the spiritual realm, in the places where we have stood in the heat of battle, where we have earnestly interceded and humbly repented, we are going to see long standing, territorial enemy occupations being moved away and these places suddenly being occupied by angels. The ramifications of such will filter down through every area of life. He is moving out the old, making room for the new. He is cleaning the filthy house, to fill it with His righteousness. He is removing the dross and keeping the gold. He is blowing away the chaff to harvest the grain.

"But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness." (Mal 3:2-3 NKJV)

Even so, come Lord and do Your work among us.
Lovingly,
Sandy

We Need a Revival!

A. W. Tozer

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." But God said to him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?" So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. -Luke 12:19-21

We need a revival! We need a revival of consecration to death, a revival of happy abandonment to the will of God that will laugh at sacrifice and count it a privilege to bear the cross through the heat and burden of the day. We are too much influenced by the world and too little controlled by the Spirit. We of the deeper life persuasion are not immune to the temptations of ease and we are in grave danger of becoming a generation of pleasure lovers.

Any who disagree with these conclusions are within their rights, and I would be the last to deny them the privilege. But in the name of a thousand struggling churches and disheartended pastors, may I not plead for a little more loyalty to the local church during this season of difficulty?

May God raise up a people who will consult their pleasures less and the great need more. God Tells the Man Who Cares, 159-160.

"Lord, make me today one of those 'who will consult their pleasures less and the great need more.' Amen."

"BE WILLING TO DIE FOR ME"

Stephen Hanson

7. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. 9. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Is. 53

"I was led like a sheep to the slaughter. I was assigned a grave and condemned to die. I gave up my life as a ransom for many. I was mocked and ridiculed by many before my death on the cross. I rose from the dead and am now giving new life unto many."

"Just as I was led to the slaughter, so will many of you be. It may not be the slaughter of a physical death, but it will be the slaughter and the death of your own fleshly desires. It will be the death of your own ambitions. It will be the death of your own lives that are apart from Me. I have asked you to die in order that you might live. I died and was given new life. The life that I lived was given up for all of you. I AM asking that you give up your lives for Me. Unless a seed falls to the ground it cannot produce fruit. So it must be with you as well. Give-up your lives for your friends. Give-up your lives for your families. Be willing to pay the price for a servant. Be willing to be mocked, and be willing to be ridiculed. Be willing to suffer at the hands of those around you who do not understand you. If they did the same to Me, why should you expect anything different?"

"Sorrow will be turned into gladness. For afterwards, these things will birth a new thing. Travail in prayer, and travail in laying down your lives for the brethren. The furnace of affliction will produce the multitude of fruitfulness. Let my furnace burn away the dross and the impurities. Let my cross have its perfect work in you. Let my death be identified with your own. Then you will come out of the graves with new life. Then you will be assigned a portion with the great. Then you will be my vessels upon this earth. Then you will go onto those things that I have assigned you to."

LOOSE TRUTH IN THE HEAVENS!

Alan Brooks

TO THE CHURCHES OF AMERICA:

The Lord would say Ephesians 6:12. It is time to pray, pray, and then pray some more, for this next two month season is a very important time for your country says the Lord. I am calling you to prayer. To pray for Godly leaders and to pray that the Glory of the Lord would shine forth from America. To not pray for or against anyone, but to pray for the truth to brought forth in the heavens. To demand that those things which are covered will become uncovered. To demand that the hidden darkness will become exposed to the light. To call forth the revival in the heavenly realms. To loose truth over this country.

THE TRUTH MAY MAKE MANY ANGRY

For I desire truth in the inward parts says the Lord, and I desire for the hidden things which keep revival from coming be exposed. For the Lord is about to release truth to this country, and the truth shall set you free. The truth may make many people angry, but it will set your country free. (I see a giant hypodermic needle with "truth" written on it and the Lord is injecting it into the veins of our country. And many people will be angry at the Lord about it). And the truth will start the river of God flowing. (I see a waterfall cascading over the steps of truth) And America will become a place where "nothing is hidden" and truth will reign.

ANGEL WAITING OT LOOSE THIS FLOOD OF TRUTH OVER AMERICA

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. I have given you the authority. It is now time to rise up and use it. (Lastly, I see a picture of a large pipeline with an angel at the end just waiting to loose this flood over America)

Finally, the word for you is "LOOSE TRUTH IN THE HEAVENS."

I HAVE CALLED YOU TO A PLACE OF EXTRAVAGANT BROKENNESS!

Dennis Drewlo

I saw a shelf with many dusty vessels. They were not much to look at. They looked as if they had been sitting there for years. If you were to look inside them, you could see that they were all filled to various levels with costly oil. They appeared to be made of a porous, yet absorbent material.

They were then taken off of the shelf, polished, and broken, and then the costly oil was released.

"YOU ARE WAITING TO RELEASE WHAT I HAVE PLACED WITHIN YOU"

This is the word that I received with this:

I see, My children, that you are waiting. You are waiting to release what I have placed within you. There is costly oil within you. It cost My Son everything. There are people who need what I have placed within you. Some of you are going through a breaking so that I can release what is inside of you, for there are people who need what is inside of you.

You must fall upon the Rock and be broken, or the Rock will fall upon you.

ORDINARY VESSELS -- USED IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS!

There is coming a day when I will use ordinary vessels in extra-ordinary ways. I am about to take you "off of the shelf". First, I will repair your brokenness. You must bring your brokenness to Me. I am looking for vessels of humility who are not seeking to make a name for themselves, but who are seeking to worship My name. I am seeking faceless vessels who desire to seek My face.

I have called you to release the Fragrance of God wherever you are: in Church, at home, at your places of work, and in your neighborhoods. I have created you for such a time as this. You are not in the place where you are by accident. I have a plan and you are in it.

I will anoint your eyes so that you will see what I have placed in others, so that it can be released. I will anoint your eyes so that you will see those who need what I have placed within you. I will teach you to see the emptiness in people, so that I can fill them through you.

EXTRAVAGANT BROKENNESS

I have called you to a place of extravagant brokenness in your worship. My desire is that My presence would linger over you, but you must be broken. I have called you to a place of sacrifice. Come to the Throne, and we will make the exchange: everything in Me for everything in you. Be warned: it will cost you your friends, your time, your energy, your desires, and your very life. Have I not written that those who lose their lives will find them? Your sacrifice will be ridiculed by some, but it is pleasing to Me.

I have called you to a place of purity before Me. I have called you to be pure in heart. Bring before Me your motives, your thoughts, your desires, and your aspirations, and I will put them through the Fire. I will burn out the dross. I will separate the wheat from the chaff, and you will be like gold refined by fire.

Do not break My heart. Let your heart be broken. Keep yourselves clothed in humility. Do not become bound by pride, for my desire is to have pure Bride, without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.

"I HAVE CALLED YOU TO A PLACE OF UNITY"

I have called you to a place of unity. Do not fight amongst yourselves. In times of frustration - PRAY. I am looking for a unified Body. I am seeking a pure Bride, and not a wrinkled harem. When you are tempted to criticize - PRAY. I have called you to be on your knees, not up in arms. I have called you to be one unified Body, not dismembered Body parts.

Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. For I am about to release what I have placed within you, My Church.
