Apostolic Reformation In America
John Wade
There has been much to-do in America about what the Apostolic Reformation
will and will not be. Great lengths have been taken to expound the
parameters of what was, what is and what shall be. This reformation will
take a turn led by the mature God seekers I have called for this season, to
put away idle chatter, foolish gesturing and posturing, action and deeds of
excellence must prevail. Posturing opens the door to spiritual pride,
abuse, evil intentions and inventiveness out of conceit and longing for
profit. Woe to those who take this path.
On the wake of this millennium crossing, My Spirit will energize the
apostles I have chosen to enter, for the path set before them. This will be
a garment change for the willing to step into the arena of true servitude
that will touch the multitudes and bring reconciliation to those who are
lost, hurting, and through sickness and despair, seeking but not finding. Be
the light; show the Way; seek the Kingdom, serve the Kingdom. Obedience
brings recompense.
It is time to quit wrestling with what I have called you to do! It is
time to quit defending your position. The call I placed upon your heart is
between you and Me and I will not relent. Therefore, go in the power and
authority I have given and give no concern to the naysayers, I will deal
with them, the day shall declare the works of your hands. With humility of
heart, be fruitful and multiply what I have placed within you.
There is much concern about what is the true and the false, have I not
said that you shall judge the tree by its fruit. Quit sniffing the bark
and look at the fruit.
I have placed within My Body all the attributes required to fulfill the
commission of God. Simply step into the place I have set you and perform
what I direct to you and the peace you are longing for will permeate your
being. Joy of your salvation will explode within you this New Year and flow
with the life of Christ to those you touch. Impart, activate, disciple all
that I send. Take the responsibility
I have given the ministry gifts to mature the body that you all may run
without stumbling and falling as swift messengers of the Good News. If the
body is not running the race you will be accountable. Lay down the
unprofitable time consuming things that are hindering you. It is time to
seek My face with diligence for new strategy that you will be blameless and
a finisher of the race.
Most of all for the coming years! The earth is full of lost and dying
people! Will you make a difference this year? Will you take on the cause?
Will you be obedient to your call? Will you prevail in obedience? Your
reward is in My hand.
As you set your face to the task of your call this New Year, the Spirit of
the Lord will go before you and together We will turn this world upside
down. For such is the Kingdom of God.
There is no reason on this earth to be in fear! I am in control! If you
are born of the Spirit, by the Spirit I will preserve you, dwell in the
secret place. Trust Me, as you never have, says your Lord.
May the Lord bless you and yours

The Heat of My Passion
Mary Clark
I am a holy, passionate God who is visiting His children
with His glorious presence. I want each of My children to
look on this priceless gift, and celebrate in your heart.
For it is in the times ahead that you will see just what
it is that your God has given to you, and you will be
glad - you will be glad deep in your heart.
Look on the preparations of your God, and behold His
expertise. Identify and lay claim to all that is coming
the way of My established church. For I am justly proud
of all that I am sending.
I want My beloved to take that step into the HEAT - the
HOT HEAT of My passion. I want to burn out all that is
not of Me. I want to burn in all that is of Me. This is
the time for a burning, beloved. This is the time for a
deep burning to shine forth from your heart to others. I
want YOU to stand straight and tall in the hours ahead. I
want you strengthened by the word of your God, delivering
to you the knowledge of how sweet surrendering to the
Almighty can be. That is why I am presenting this burning
to My church. That is why I have looked on your
surrendered hearts, and given the nod to turn up the
flame. At this moment the flame is burning brightly. It
is igniting areas that have looked askance at My work in
the heart's of others. That is being burned out. No
longer will you look on My other children as dimwitted,
beloved. But you will see them in a new light - the light
of My glory. My flame is flickering around those old
staid ideas that you have about Me. Yes! They must go
also. Along with them will go that attitude that no one
is right on target with your Lord the way you are. Oh,
yes! That must go also.
I am burning away some things in My beloved. I am casting
a light on those t hings that I look on askance, and
asking you to obeisance in those areas to Me. You will
see that the great burning away will cause a heating up
in your heart, beloved. A very lovely heating up of your
passionate God's embrace in you. For how could you ever
endure the heat of My passion if those things that are
displeasing to Me are not dealt with? How could you ever
endure My embrace, when those things are glaring you in
the face, and making you stand at a distance?
I am calling you into the heat - the hot heat of My
passion. Come willingly and embrace all that I am. For it
is embracing your Almighty God that you will be changed.
You will be changed by a burning deep within, and you
will come to realize something of extreme importance. The
living God is causing a burning away of all that is not
of Him. He is causing a burning deep within hearts that
are bent on serving Him with a diligent spirit. I want
you to know that the passion of your God is not something
to be taken lightly. It is to be embraced with all that
is in you. For the passion of your God is HOT - it is
BURNING and it is significantly stronger than anything -
ANYTHING - that you could ever reckon with on the face of
the earth. That is why I am sending it, beloved. I am
sending it to enable you to do battle in My name. You
will see the forthcoming of a new day - a bright new day
- a day when those who have looked away from the Almighty
may catch the flame of My passion, and enter into a new
understanding. I am God. I am the Almighty One. I plan to
embrace all who will come, giving to them the finest hour
EVER! I plan to take My beloved to her heavenly home that
I have prepared for her. My plans are unequaled. My plans
are definite. And My plans last for ALL ETERNITY- ALL
ETERNITY, BELOVED, ALL OF ETERNITY!!!

Dying to self
R. Walden
When you are forgotten, or neglected, or purposely set at naught, and you
don't sting and hurt with the insult or the oversight, but your heart is
happy, being counted worthy to suffer for Christ.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your
advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger
rise in your heart, or even defend yourself, but take in all in patient,
loving silence.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, any irregularity, any
impunctuality, or any annoyance; when you stand face-to- face with waste,
folly, extravagance, spiritual insensibility-and endure it as Jesus
endured.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When you are content with any food, any offering, any climate, any
society, any raiment, any interruption by the will of God.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record
your own good works, or itch after commendations, when you can truly love
to be unknown.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When you can see your brother prosper and have his needs met and can
honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy, nor question God,
while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than
yourself and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no
rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart.
THAT IS DYING TO SELF
Are you dead yet? In these last days, the Spirit would bring us to the
cross. "That I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death."

DRINK OF ME
by Shelleymae Bartlett
Do you not know that it is not flesh and blood you are fighting? Where is
your armor? Where is your faith? I say unto you this day that you have
seen it cannot be done in your own strength in the understanding of your
carnal thinking.
Repent and walk in Truth. I Am the Truth. I Am the garment in which you
are to wear. Is it not written that the True Worshipers are those who
worship me in Spirit and Truth? Come out from among them.
Walk ye with Me in the Spirit in the land of the living. For I Am the
Life for all who enter in. I Am the Life for all men. You drink from
many water pots, yet you have not asked of Me for thy drink.
And when you do, you do not suffer patiently, believing that I will give
to all men freely when they ask this of me.
What do you believe? What is it that you really seek that you cannot wait
for Me? I Am the Living Water, the Living River that flows through out
all of life. I Am the One who brings changes, everlasting changes to your
soul.
Drink from Me, The True Counsel of Life. Truly drink from Me and you will
see that you really have no need of your own watering pots. For no matter
how big you think your pots may be and no matter how much you think you
may drink from them, you will always be thirsty and
thirst again.
The river flows in the wilderness of life where the trials and temptations
take place. It is an easy thing to do: to worship Me when all around you
is green and pleasant... But the True place of worship comes from the
place where Patience is born.
Long suffering brings freedom to those who wait for Me expectantly.
Freedom to soar above the cares of this world.
But for those who do not know Me -- who choose there own means and
watering pots, their hearts become thirsty and dry and hardened in the
trials and temptations in the wilderness and are left alone and desolate
because they walk away in unbelief.
The River of Truth cannot flow where it is not welcomed, wanted or
desired. Oh My people, My children, How long will you suffer for the
little things when you can have it all? Will you not trade your small cup
to drink from the river? A River more vast than any ocean?
Worship Me as though you know this.... Draw close to Me with your Hope of
Faith. Believe in Me, Delight in My Truth that I may enter in and flow
through you, even now in your time of need.
Arise and let Me rise in you. My Hand is not to short that it cannot save
you. Not angry that it cannot Love.
Come unto Me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Drink from Me. I Am the Well Water of Life, the place where all True Fruit
is born.
Clothe yourself in Me, round about and in thee. For in that moment with
your whole heart seeking Me, while waiting, in due time you will see,
truly I Am ALL you will ever need.
For I AM River of Life, The Everlasting Water. It is only in Me where you
will drink and thirst no more. I will feed you with the Truth of My
Righteousness.
Desire the place of a servant beyond all other positions and let Me be
King. Praise Me how you believe. I Am your Everlasting Father loving you
from Eternity.

Third Day Visitation
Gaylene Womack
Tuesday, June 27th (third day of the week) - The Lord led me to meditate on
Exodus 19:10-25.
Thursday, 3:48 a.m. the Holy Spirit woke me up and told me the following. He
also told me to get up and look at the clock. Then He directed me to look up
the meaning of 3:48. 3 = divine providence; 4 = earth, creator; 8 = new
beginnings, new creation; the total of the three numbers is 15 = rest,
peace. This is only the second time the Lord has given me numbers for the
purpose of understanding. Please prayerfully read the following:
Satan has seeded a false word amongst the church for the purpose of man not
being prepared for what is really coming forth at this hour, this third day.
The false prophecy is "prosperity and power" and coming as the latter rain.
This word is true in part; it is not for the overall church. For a
prosperity of My Truth, not financial prosperity, and anointing is coming
forth but it is only for those that have sanctified themselves and washed
their clothes, that they may partake of My visitation.
Few there are that have done such a thing. There will be few that will
partake of this prosperity, that which comes from My Spirit. Not material
things, as such things many seek. Seek rather righteousness and now I say,
seek this diligently that this day does not pass with unrighteousness found
within your hearts.
For as I told Moses to tell the people to sanctify themselves and wash their
clothes for the Lord shall come on the "third" day. The "third" day is nigh
upon thee and the "church" has not sanctified themselves and washed their
clothes and will not partake of the "third day" visitation.
This visitation is only for those that have been separated unto Me and have
dwelt in the wilderness and have been taught by My Spirit and not that of
man. These are the virgins within the element of the church that I shall
pour out My Spirit of the latter reign (Elisha double portion anointing)
upon and they shall be hid (protected) in this the day that is upon you, My
third day.
Many are called and few are chosen but because of the false word sown within
the church, you continued on your path of degradation and immorality and
have gathered up such treasures of defilement. Look within your dwelling
places and see what fills it. For where your treasure is there is your
heart. You have not separated from the world and you still sit in the
counsel of the ungodly. You listen not to the quickening of My Spirit to
bring you to repentance.
For you must repent in sackcloth and ashes (prayer and fasting), closing
yourself in with Me that I may search the very intents of your heart. I
called many of you but you did not heed my calling. You were too busy going
here and going there. Doing this and doing that. Party and play has been the
schedule of the day.
You have not washed your clothes, separating yourselves unto Me unto
repentance and come forth out of the defilement of the world and the
possessions that dwell within your homes. Idols stand within your walls.
This very thing alone testifies against you.
You have not lived on bread alone as some have in the wilderness alone with
Me. A few willing hearts have come into the wilderness through the beckoning
of My Spirit and there they have dwelt for years, being sanctified, washed
and purified in My ways and My truth for two days. Now the third day is nigh
upon thee and you are not prepared, forsaking all and coming to sit at My
table.
For they that have been in the wilderness truly have partaken at My table.
These are the ones that My Spirit will be poured out upon as the latter day
reign, bringing unto Me the greater harvest as a reward for their righteousn
ess that they have sought in Me and they have truly found. Vessels of honor
they are unto Me. Their lives bare witness of the suffering of My Son.
Repent I say and seek righteousness that you may be hid (protected) in My
coming judgment and that you may be arrayed with My clothes for the battle
that will rage, between light and dark, righteousness and unrighteousness,
and is nigh at the door.
I am now ready to send forth My disciples. They have gone forth once without
provision and now I will send them forth with provision. For their hearts
are not on silver and gold, but on the true provision that comes from My
throne.

ALL THINGS IN CHRIST
by Doug Fortune
"For it was IN HIM that all things were created, in heaven and
on earth, things seen and unseen, whether thrones, dominions,
rulers or authorities; ALL things were created and exist through
Him, and in and for Him."(Col.1:16). "Making known to us the
mystery of His will- of His plan, of His purpose. And it is this:
In accordance with His good pleasure which He had previously
purposed and set forth IN HIM, He planned for the maturity of
the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and
head them up and CONSUMMATE them IN CHRIST, both things in heaven
and things on the earth."(Eph.1:9-10)
I must admit that I'm just beginning to get a glimpse of the
vast implications of these verses, so this writing is by no means
meant to be an exhaustive study... but these verses really do
represent the purpose and plan of God from Genesis to Revelation,
which is this; the REVEALation of Jesus Christ! He really IS
Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Completion... now before
you sone me for using the word 'completion' instead of the word
'end', let's look at that word. In Greek it is telos and it is
the root word for the word teleios found in Eph.4:13, speaking
of the 'teleios' Perfect Man, "...that WE might arrive at mature
manhood, the completeness of personality which is nothing less
than the standard height of Christ's own perfection..."(Amplified
Bible).
Some read Gen1:26-27 as the telling of an historical event; I
read it as a prophetic proclamation of God's purpose in the earth...
"So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness
of God He created him; male AND female He created them." This
was not truly fulfilled in the first Adam, it is fulfilled in
the Last Adam- Jesus Christ the Head, and the Second Man the
lord (the word lord is kurios in Greek, meaning supreme in authority,
used 42 times in the New Testament as a human title of honor,
NOT speaking specifically of the Lord Jesus Christ) descending
from heaven- the teleios Perfect Man of Eph.4:13. THIS is the
man (male AND female, for IN Christ there is neither male nor
female) that God blessed and said "Be fruitful, multiply, and
FILL the earth and subdue it..."(Gen.1:28); and that is exactly
what is happening as all things are being consummated in Christ,
as the kingdoms of this world ARE become the Kingdom of the Lord
and His Christ, as the earth is being filled with the knowledge
of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
We read in Genesis how all things were consummated in water and
only that which was in the ark lived; of course the ark is a
type of Christ. "As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming
of the Son of Man... they did not know or understand until the
flood came and swept them all away... one will be taken, one
will be left..."(Mt.24:37-40); "...in the time of the harvest
I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into
My barn."(Matt.13:30). The 'time of the harvest' represents the
Feast of Tabernacles which the church is entering into now and
I believe that 'as the days of Noah' all things will be consummated
IN Christ, this time with FIRE as the water. And NO, I'm not
talking about some nuculear war that may or may not happen (my
apologies to the doomsday prophets). I am speaking of SPIRITUAL
FIRE that, just like the flood of Noah's time, will cover the
earth with "...the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea."(Hab.2:14). Just as the flood of Noah's
time, only that which was in The Ark lived; only the wheat was
gathered into the Barn, the rest "perished". 2Cor.2:15-16 says,
"For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are
saved, and in them that perish; to the one we are the savor of
DEATH unto DEATH, and in the other the savor of LIFE untoLIFE...".
The word translated as perish is apollumi in Greek and it means
to destroy fully... death unto death is the second death spoken
of in Rev.20:14 and 21:8, "...this is the second death, the lake
of FIRE..." You see, to be CONSUMMATED in Christ will mean Life
to one and destruction to another; only that which is of Christ
will remain, the rest to be taken and destroyed. All will ultimately
be reconciled in Christ through mercy or judgment. In order to
understand this we must understand that man is a 'triune' being
of sorts; spirit, soul and body. Just like the Tabernacle was
ONE tabernacle with three parts, so we are ONE whole consisting
of three parts.
As for the SPIRIT, the seed-potential of Christ is in every man...
for some this lies dormant within, trapped in the outer shell
of their human spirit, the seed never grows... they are 'DEAD
in trespasses and sin', they are "...without (or apart from,
outside of) Christ... having no hope and without God in the world..."(Eph.2:12).
For those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this seed
within grows, consuming the outer shell of their human spirit,
"...he that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT with Him."(1Cor.6:17);
their spirit is CONSUMMATED in Christ.
Now then, Eccl.12:7 tells us that "...then shall the dust (of
which God made man's body) return to the earth as it was, and
the SPIRIT shall RETURN to God who gave it.". We can see this
in Luke 23:46, "And Jesus, crying with a loud voice said, Father
INTO YOUR hands I commit My SPIRIT! And with these words He expired."
The SPIRIT will RETURN to God who gave it; the physical BODY
will return to dust; what appears to hang in the balance is the
SOUL and the spiritual body; "...as surely as there is a physical
body, there is also a spiritual body."(1Cor.15:44). Consider
Matt. 10:28, "...but rather be afraid of him who can DESTROY
both soul and body in hell (gehenna)." The body referred to here
is the spiritual body, as the physical body is returning to dust
in the earth. Keep in mind also that Heb.12:29 tells us that
"...our God is a CONSUMING FIRE..."; the word 'consuming' means
to consume utterly.
Are we beginning to get a picture here?... the SPIRIT will return
to God who gave it; the PHYSICAL BODY will return to the dust;
the SOUL and SPIRITUAL BODY will either be consumed and utterly
destroyed OR consumed and resurrected in the mind, will and emotions
(the SOUL) of Christ and the resurrected BODY of Christ as the
many-membered teleios Perfect Man of Eph.4:13. Truly ALL things
will be CONSUMMATED and reconciled IN Christ!
You see, the 'man of sin' is being revealed... sin entered the
world through one man (Rom.5:12), and it is the SOULISH Adam/
sin nature that is seated in the temple of God proclaiming soverignty.
It is interesting to note that there are two distinct words in
the Greek that are translated as temple in English. Beginning
with the Book of Acts, after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
through the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used ONLY referring
to people as the temple not made with hands; when referring to
the physical temple building the word hieron is used. Of course,
throughout the Book of Revelation, the word naos is used, as
hat Book is the REVEALING of Jesus Christ, and He is revealed
in the MIDST of the Lampstand, the CHURCH (Rev.1). Why then is
there so much confusion when 2Thess.2:4 speaks of the man of
sin seated in the NAOS of God, "...which temple (naos) YE ARE..."(1Cor.3:17)...
why are we looking for a man seated in a building yet to be built
in the Middle-East, when we should be looking in the mirror?
As the 'man of sin', the Adam nature is revealed, "...the Lord
Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him
to an end by His appearing at His coming." or "...the brightness
of His coming..."(2Thess.2:8) as some translations read. This
is the salvation of the SOUL as the Living Christ within our
spirit, with eyes/ vision of fire and in His mouth the two edged
Sword of the Engrafted Living Word pierces the veil of our flesh/
SOUL life, and the appearing or brightness of His coming floods
our SOUL with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and the
'man of sin'/ Adam nature is slain, consumed and destroyed! Truly,
ALL will be consummated in Christ!
We WILL see the fulfillment of Gen.1:26-28; a many-membered MAN
in the image and likeness of God, filling the earth and subdueing
it... We WILL see the fulfilment of Eph.4:13 "...that WE might
arrive at mature manhood, the completeness of personality which
is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection...",
the teleios Perfect Many-membered Man... We WILL see the FULL
manifestation of the Sons of God.

Phil.3:10
Wednesday morning I had received a prophecy, via email, with no headers or
identification numbers on it. Nothing!! It was sent only to me, no other
names. It was from someone I don't have a clue who they are and they used a
pen name. It confirmed, in part, what I had been meditating in Exodus.
Seemed like the Lord Himself sent the Word.
