Five-Fold Today - The First Fruit of Wisdom and Knowledge - Road to Emmaus - Calling out of darkness - Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement - Shed False Humility and Embrace God's Reality - Bombshells Are About To Explode - Trust The Lord To Be Who He Says He Is - I Will Restore the Years
Michael Danforth
It has been said, that more prayer has gone up in
the last two years, than in the last twenty years. This I believe and
rejoice greatly, and boldly declare with much confidence, that we are
progressively receiving a new government in this nation as well as in the
church of Jesus Christ. God as heard the cry of His people and He is
bringing them out because they are heeding to His
voice to enter into the kingdom of God and His
righteousness.
Earlier in the year I heard these words ring in my
spirit, "the fear of God is coming back into the church and then in the
earth." I immediately thought of Proverbs 1:7 that says, "the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
instruction." The fear of the Lord is the "re'shiyth" of knowledge. The
fear of the Lord is also the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the
Holy One is understanding. (Prov 9:10)
This Hebrew word for beginning is defined as the "first fruit" of
knowledge and wisdom. Get ready, because the first fruit of
knowledge and wisdom which is the fear of God, is about to become fully
manifested in the church. In other words respect and reverence toward God
is coming back into the hearts of His people. The first sign of this
restoration will be the return of the fear of God.
This particular Godly fear will come through various forms. We will begin
to see signs of it coming through the government of this nation
and other nations, as well as predominately in the church.
We are receiving a leadership that is God seeking rather than
self-seeking. His body is giving birth to a new leadership that is
determined to leave an inheritance for the children, rather than the
children for leaders. No longer will God tolerate His anointed using His
people as a means to build their house rather than the house of God. As
the affections of these new fathers and mothers become
apparent, a new respect and reverence for the divine order of God will
return to the hearts of humanity, both partially in the world and fully in
His church.
As a people chosen by God, we will respect and reverence faith in God
above every doubt and unbelief that has seemingly been prevailing in His
Body. We will respect the love of God over every hateful
deception that has been warring against us in the earth. We will give
more respect and reverence toward forgiveness instead of unforgiveness. We
will respect the peace of God more than the restlessness of our own souls.
We will fear the one that can destroy the body and soul rather than the
one that can destroy just the
body.
We will give more respect to the divine nature of
Jesus Christ working in these earthly bodies than we will the divination
of satan. The restoration of fear of the Lord will be our
instruction of Wisdom and will bring us into a humility that will declare
many honors to the Lord and His bride. (Prov 15:33) This newly founded
fear will lead us to life and he who has it will abide in satisfaction,
and we will not be visited with evil, because our fear for God will be
greater. (Prov19:23) Through humility and
the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life. (Prov 22:4)
We will be zealous for the fear of the Lord the rest of our days and our
hope will not be cut off. (Prov 23:17-18)
The key to getting a hold of this first fruit of knowledge is by entering
into the kingdom of God. Jesus said, "Woe to you lawyers! For you have
taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in
yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered." (Lk 11:52)
We must come out of the old man and enter into the new one. There is a
difference between having Christ in us verses us entering into Him. There
is a difference between having the divine nature of
Christ and His divine nature having us. To enter in means that we are to
enter into His rest. In this position of rest we no longer see things as
being incomplete but we see them as finished. It's time for leaders
across this nation to enter into the finished realm of God's kingdom, by
not entering in we hinder others from doing the same. In these next few
months God is going to deal with those hindrances more severely,
especially in the places of government.
And lastly, we are going to begin to see houses of wisdom and
understanding rise up in the land. Just like in the days of
Solomon people will gather from miles around to remote areas across the
country to hear men and women who have taken on the wisdom and
understanding of God. As centers of prayer and worship continue to spring
up, a fresh new knowledge of God's spirit will run like a mighty river
through out the land. The church has been pursuing
many gifts of the spirit and for the most part overlooking two important
foundational ingredients, wisdom and knowledge.
But no longer will this be the case, for the hidden ones in Christ have
been tucked away for such a time as this. Now the invisible is becoming
visible, that which has been hidden shall be revealed, not the darks
secrets of man, but the treasures of God's kingdom that has been concealed
in earthen vessels for these last days. Let us set our hearts to receive
the "first fruit" of God's wisdom and knowledge.

ROAD TO EMMAUS
David Howe
For just as I appeared to my 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus - Appeared to them yet they did not recognize me - So it is with many of my
people this day.
For I have come to answer your prayers - But you still do not see that I AM walking with you along that road that you are on.
For I have sent many to speak to you in my name - Yet you do not see That I AM dwelling within them - Did not your heart burn within you
when they spoke My Word unto you - Yet your eyes did not see I AM within my servants before you says the Lord.
For I AM within the baker who gives you bread - Gives you the bread of life - Within the widow that you see walking alone down the street
within her tears loneliness - The tears that I cry for you when you do not recognize my sent ones says the Lord.
For I AM in the Child you see walking alone to school - Walking alone because they does not fit into the mould that the world tries to squeeze
them into - The mould that you try to squeeze me into says the Lord.
Yes I AM also within that tramp that you despise when you say within your heart - Look at the that - Look at that mess - I do not want to touch
THAT in case I catch something bad from him - Do you know that I Have sent angels to test your hearts - Test your hearts so that you can see
what is really within you - For as my Word says - That the heart of man is desperately wicked - Deceiving itself above all - Not knowing that in
itself it is deceived - Deceived by its desires and wants.
Remember that cross when took your disease - Took your sins upon my body - When I caught the disease of your sins off you.
Come - Let me open your eyes - For I AM there before you - There within those before you - There with those that walk along the road with
you.
Come - Repent - Let me cleanse your hearts - Let me open your eyes - For I AM there in the midst of you says the Lord.
For I gave some to be apostles - Some to be prophets - Some to be teachers - Some to be pastors - Some to be evangelists says the Lord.
Look around you - For they are among you - They are that baker that gives you the bread of life that take for granted - They are that widow that
cries in her loneliness - Cries for the lost and lonely of this world - In that school child that gets bullied because they do not fit into the mould
that other try to force them into - In that tramp that you look down on - That tramp that needs healing - For I came into the world - Yet my
people despised me - Despised me for I did not come as they expected me to come - For my people did not truly recognize who I AM.
Come - My people come - Take my hand that I may open your eyes - Take my hand And Come with me to my house - For I wish to break bread
with you - For I AM the bread - I AM the wine says the Lord.
Come Break bread with me - For it is then that your eyes will be opened unto me - Will be opened unto me in those around you - For it is for this
reason that some of you are sick and even fall asleep - This reason that much of my body is weak in this world - For you have not discerned my
body before you says the Lord.
Come - Repent - For I wish to raise you up - Wish to open your eyes to those around you - Open your eyes unto my servants on the road with
you - Truly Open your eyes unto me.
For I AM walking along that road - Walking with you along that road to EMMAUS says the Lord.

Calling out of darkness......
Linda Evans
I have, for the past two years, been hearing from the Lord concerning an
"insanity" -- a chaos which is coming on the earth. A chaos represented in
Scripture by many different expressions. One example is when the Lord removes
the lights/talents from those who did nothing with them (buried their talents
or held only "Life-insurance" Christianity) and He gives them to the ones who
already have much light/many talents... In this parable, we see the dark
becoming darker, as the lights are gathered into pockets -- gatherings of
light. Where there was a type of 'greyness' created by the light spread out
over all the world, there now is a great separation -- the light becomes
lighter, but the grey becomes pitch black.
This black is that chaos and insanity which we have begun to sense lies just
under the surface of society.. erupting with more and more frequency and
intensity. When the One who restrains, no longer restrains, this darkness shall
come upon all those who have no protection (those not covered in the Blood of
the Lamb) and insanity/chaos shall become rampant. Without the covering of the
Lamb, everyone is vulnerable to this evil, and even in the Church, to the
degree that we have held onto a "love for unrighteousness"... willful sin, we
are vulnerable. This is the reason the Lord has been bringing His Church
through such a time of unveiling... showing us the reality of our black-hearts,
that we might fall to our knees in fresh repentance and consecration unto
Him... giving us this great and glorious opportunity to willingly surrender ALL
to Him, to be able to walk forth into the darkness as a greater light than we
have been before. This is that two-fold work as revealed in the parable.. the
dark gets darker, but the light also gets lighter.
In my consideration of this insanity-chaos-darkness coming.. the Lord spoke
"just like Viet Nam"... and I realized then what was so different about this
war than any other... and just why so many of the Vets who "survived" this war,
physically, did not survive it spiritually.
They have experienced this chaos, this insanity.. in a foretaste or
foreshadowing of what the entire world shall know soon. Those who went into
this "Spiritual Environment" entered a powerful demonic stronghold, without any
spiritual protection (The Blood of Jesus; the Armor provided by God in Eph 6)
and were immersed into this insanity.. possessed by it -- fully given over to
the forces of darkness and made pawns in the hands of evil.
They had no way to stop it; the more they turned to drugs and alcohol to escape
what their spirits could not endure, they became more and more enveloped,
possessed, consumed in it. They were ultimately consumed BY it, and then came
the ultimate demonic doublecross. The darkness lifted and like the prodigal
son, they returned to "their right minds".. right minds which could not bear to
live with the memories of what "they" had done. The flash backs.. the memories
now being demonically used to torment them for the rest of their lives; torment
which has held so many of them captive since the 60s; torment which has caused
so much suicide, for without deliverance and healing, they have no peace -- no
way to escape from the insanity.
Without the spiritual revelation/knowledge that they were actually "pawns" in
the hands of ultimate evil, they have had to try to justify their
obscene/perverted/demonic actions... actions of complete inhumanity... and it
has been impossible. Without understanding "why" they became so inhumane, they
have remained prisoners in their own confusion, shame and guilt, unable to live
with themselves or others.
I believe there is a key here that the Church can use to open these prison
doors for the sake of the Viet Nam Vets... and there is a key here for
understanding the seriousness of what we face in these unfolding chaotic world
events. There is also a great warning, for we have seen the devastating effect
of this chaos/insanity ... in a relatively small number of people... Can we
even begin to imagine what it will be like in a world-wide application?
May the intercessors join together now, with this cry for the deliverance of
these men from the insanity.. may the Church be given these lives to bring to
Christ Jesus... and may these gifts to the Church become a mighty army of
trained and prepared warriors to lead others through the chaos which is coming.
May the Lord take this training these dear lost ones have experienced and turn
and use it for Good.
May we stand in the gap and lift these brothers/sisters to the Throne of Grace,
asking for the freedom they still need. Let us lay hold of the promises given
in Romans 8:28, claiming everyone of these for Jesus and the Kingdom of Light,
asking that their 'training' would now be completed, and be used to prepare
others for the reality of entering into the stronghold of evil with knowledge
and preparation... covered in the Blood of Christ.
May we join together and overcome this evil by the Blood of the Lamb... May
these warriors go free from the residual of this insanity, as the Holy Spirit
comes and washes their minds with the Blood of Christ, and restores the purity
and innocence which was stolen from them. May these arise now from the death
which has held them captive, and come forth as Lazarus, set free from the grave
clothes, clothed now in the Robes of the King.
Take seriously this coming insanity dear Church... and embrace the Sanctifying
Work of the Holy Spirit, as He prepares a people of Christ Jesus.. the sons of
Light, who shall war against the sons of darkness.
In Love's Service,
MERCY TRUIMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT
Debbie Cossu
Reference Scriptures, recorded as prayed while in the spirit to receive
this word for you.
"Judgement without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been
merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgement. For in all their distress I
have been distressed, and the angel of My presence has saved them. In My
love and mercy I will redeemed them. I will lift them up and carry them
all the days of old. I will reveal Myself to those who did not ask for
Me; to a nation that did not call on My name. I will say, 'Here am I,
here am I.' For I am not slow in keeping My promise, as some understand
slowness. I have been patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish.
I want everyone to come to repentance.
With praise and thanksgiving you will sing to Me,
THEN:
And the sound was heard far away."
vision:
Word of the Lord:
I make distinguishing marks on the land, not just upon the people I
claim. The badges you had been given were not from Me. Man made honors
will not stand the test of time, and it is time for My honor to be seen
in this place. For to long there has risen a cry of judgement, and I
have come to demonstrate that mercy triumphs over judgement, even when it
is done in the midst of declared judgement. I am here to reverse the
decree declared against you, and even by you, and reverse the decision
of calamity that was headed your way. There has been a great noise heard
in the portables of heaven. The sound of weeping in repentance, mingled
with the sound of worship in abandonment as My mercy falls upon you. I
am in your midst to proclaim the verdict announced in the courts of
heaven for the pardon about to be revealed in power and might by My
Spirit in your midst.....
From this place unto the ends of the earth My glory shall be
demonstrated. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers
shall be sent forth unto the uttermost parts of the world to declare My
Kingdom come in their midst. A new wave of worship shall explode from
here. A new sound of holiness and love shall erupt from this area and
carry My glory where it has not been welcome before. Mighty
demonstrations of the supernatural shall be done in this place as signs
and wonders shall first strike My church with awe, then all the people
shall be drawn unto Me and not a ministry or church or person.
Because of the prayers and fastings and sacrifices offered up in behalf
of this nation, all across this nation, one more time you shall see My
goodness swallow up the destruction determined to come. All across the
land in each area of demarkation I have chosen and anointed I am
releasing a spirit of grace and supplication that will impact not just
this nation, but every nation.
I am not willing for any to perish .
Because your hearts have been broken, and you have humbled yourself, you
now carry My heart of love for the people.
You will not be willing for any to perish either.

Shed False Humility and Embrace God's Reality
Teresa Seputis
God has something to say on the issue of pride. He hates pride and you
already know this. Most sincere Christians do not fall into blatent
hautiness and arrogance. Some do and if you do, you need to deal with it
before God deals with it for you. God's way of addressing pride and
arrogance are not pleasant. That is why He gives us a season of time to
address it ourselves before He comes and deals with it in our lives.
Most of the people reading this word will think that the above warning does
not apply to them, because they do not believe they struggle with pride and
arrogance. But God says that false humility, and pushing ourselves down
when He is trying to raise us up, is every bit as much "pride" as being
haughty.
It is telling God that you are smarter than Him, that you know better than
Him and that your plans make more sense than His. And He finds that
offensive.
So the Lord would address those of you who have been beating yourself down
and who have been refusing to allow Him to lift you up. And He says...
"Stop it!
Come to Me. Let Me replace your illusions and fears with with My reality.
I will define you to be percisely the person that I created you to be.
It is time, child of Mine, to resist Me no longer. Do not fight Me, for
My plans for you are good. I know that you are not able to accomplish
this in your own strenght and power. And I never intended for you to
do it that way, in your own strength and through your own resources.
Instead, allow Me to transform you. Allow me to empower you.
Allow me to be the wind beneight your wings that substains you. Do not
fold up your wings and refuse to fly. If you do that, how can I allow
to you participate with Me in accomplishing My plans and purposes?
Your place is NOT to fight Me. Your place is not to resist me. Rather, it
is to come to Me and allow Me to show you preciesly who I have created
you to be. Then allow me to position you in percisely the place that
I have ordained for you. Resist Me not, and I will heal you and I will
empower you. Child of mine, I will make you able to accomplish all that
I have appointed for you to do. I have appointed you for victory. Do
not choose to fold up your wings, resist My good will for you and walk in
defeat.
Again I say to you, resist Me not! Do not tell why you are not qualified.
Instead let Me fill you with My indwelling presence. Let me make you
able through My power. Let me transform you and conform you into My
likeness. Let Me strenghten that which is weak in you. Hide it not
from Me. Do you really think you can conceal your faults and weaknesses
from Me? Child of mine, don't you understand that I know it all, I see
it all. But I love you anyhow. Do not fear to come to me. Present
yourself to me and allow Me to define who you really are.
Listen no more to who the world says you are. Cast it off of you as you
would remove an old tattered jacket. Embrace My reality. Watch me
empower and transform you. Watch me make you strong and mightly in Me.
Watch Me give you the guidance and direction you need. Watch me place
you strategicly and watch me work My glory through you.
It is time to stop fighting Me, time to stop thrusting yourself down when
I begin to lift you up. Resist Me not, for my plans for you are very good.
And I am able to accomplish them in your life if you choose to cooperate
with me. Resist Me not. Embrace My reality. And My glory shall begin
to spring forth in your life.

Bombshells Are About To Explode
Ching Co
Some days ago, I felt these words dropped in my heart
"bombshells are about to explode". I've sat on this as I
received nothing else.
Watching events unfolding in my own country and events
taking place around the world, it looks like we are under
heavy attack from all points. Added to that are the own
pressures that we face day by day.
Yet in the midst of all these:
1. What is God doing.
I asked the Lord the same question and have waited for
His answers.
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO
All of us who know the Lord already know what we are
supposed to do. Psalm 91 gives us the answer and many of
us know this by heart. However, there is always a big gap
between knowing it and living it out. I am struggling to
find that place and need a lot of the Father's help.
WHAT IS GOD DOING?
God is at work in the nations. All these bombshells being
dropped in our midst are symbolic of the activities also
taking place in the heavenlies.
From our side here, it may look like that we are losing
ground. . . . but from the heavenly perspective, God is
moving forward putting in place all that needs to be done
for His plans and purposes to be unveiled.
DANGER ZONE
I felt the Lord impressing to me certain areas that we
need to guard against during this season.
First, don't be dictated by your feelings. Many of God's
children because of the long drawn battle that they've
been in are feeling tired and yes some are surprised that
they don't feel like talking much these days. Also, desire
and zeal seem to have diminished too. These are not equal
to loss of anointing.
Second, keep your focus on God and refrain from jumping
to conclusions about anything. These might call for more
time listening and less time talking. God is fighting the
battle for us and it will be wise and prudent to be silent
when we are not sure and certain about certain matters.
God wants us to "leave matters in His hands."
JERICHO
In so many ways, this is another "Jericho season" for
God's people. The walls are about to fall FOR GOD IS
FIGHTING THE BATTLES FOR US.
PROMISE
"But now listen, O Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I
have chosen. This is what the Lord says - He who made you,
who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not
be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have
chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and
streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on
your offspring, and my blessings on your descendants. They
will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees
by flowing streams." (Isaiah 44:1-4)
"Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim
this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is
there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I
know not one. "(Isaiah 44:8)
"Sing for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done this;
shout aloud, O earth beneath. Burst into song, you
mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the Lord
has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel."
(Isaiah 44:23)
"I will go before you and will level the mountains, I
will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of
iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches
stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am
the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."
(Isaiah 45:2-3)
PRAYER
"Father, we come to Your throne this day and we say
'Teach us Your ways and let it be done to us and the
nations according to Your will.' Amen!"
Blessings,
Sis. Ching Co
Trust The Lord To Be Who He Says He Is
CARYLANN HARTLEY
And the Lord would say that we are not to fear but to
trust in Him and know that He is in control. What the
world sees is not what is, any more than what we feel is
the truth. God is teaching us a valuable lesson if we
only hear and follow His direction. The enemy of our
souls would have us panic and walk in fear but our God
would say, "Peace, Be Still".
We serve an awesome God but act like he is no more than
the false gods that other religions have. We do not walk
like we BELIEVE that He really is who He says He is and
that He can do what He has promised He would do. Now is a
time to pray and fast for those that do not know the power
of the Almighty God so that He can deliver them from the
snares of the wicked one. Be not concerned about what you
may eat or drink but rather about who will deliver the
wretched from their hellholes.
Look not to yourself but rather look to the Lord your God
for He is the only answer and He alone can save and
deliver those from the pit. Lean not on your own
understanding but look to the Lord in all that you do or
say or think. He is "the same yesterday, today and
forever" and will NOT fail you. Be not ashamed or
condemned for the lack of faith and trust you have had in
the past, but rather use this for a stepping stone so that
you can go forward to VICTORY. We serve a Living God and
we will have the strength to fight the battles that He
puts us in. Do not try to fight a battle on your own or
in your own strength for you will surely lose. Wait on
the Lord and fight it in His timing and in His way, for
His ways are always true and righteous. His way is the
only way that we are assured of Victory. Who would go
into a battle not knowing if can win or not, when they
could go in with total assurance of Victory by just
waiting on the Lord. "Victory is MINE" says the Lord of
Hosts. He commands all the angels in the heavens and all
that has been created or will ever be is in subjection to
Him.
There is no God like our God. Praise Him! Praise Him in
all that you do and say! Show the world that we not only
have heard about His greatness but also believe that "He
is the same yesterday, today and forever." He will not
fail you nor will He forsake you when you "rest in Him and
lean not on your own understanding."
Do not look around you at what is happening but look to
the Lord who is in control of what is happening. Have
your eyes set on things above not on this world. Praise
Him! Praise Him! He is worthy of our praise for we serve
a Holy God. Praise Him! Praise Him and Worship Him!

I WILL RESTORE THE YEARS
Sandy Warner
#1
The Lord gave me the following scriptures which are self explanatory and
interpret the vision.
Acts 24:16 KJV
Joel 1:4 KJV
Joel 2:25 KJV
#2
While the music was playing, I saw an old vessel that was being
resurrected from years and years of being buried in the earth. I realized
that we were going backwards through time and I saw the layers of dust and
dirt peel away and the ship appear as though it was rising above the
rubble.
As the ship appeared, it looked decayed and as I continued to watch, I saw
the layers of rust and decay disappear and it returned to its brand new
condition. It was now sitting on top of the earth looking brand new.
Behind the intercession curtain, I saw a clock on a wall and I knew it had
something to do with the countdown to Y2K, and was told that there was a
computer time chip that could be inserted that would help us go back in
time and do this same thing to the ship.
As I watched a repeat, the ship seemingly rose from the earth, and I
realized that a blast of wind was blowing very, very hard upon the ground
and blowing away layers and layers and years of dirt. As it blew away the
layers, it made it appear that the ship was rising
from the earth. This had happened the first time, but the first time was
through intercession.
This second time, I could see that the wind was a strong blast and
appeared to literally happen. However, the chip was left in a tad too
long and the stripping process took it back to an elemental stage that
looked like the primer coat of paint. It was a stage just prior to
completion.
I was somewhat alarmed at this. I woke with the impression that if the
enemy had his way, he would try to take advantage of the stripping process
and tear away what the Lord had restored.
These are the scriptures the Lord gave me at that time:
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of
many generations. (KJV Isaiah 61: 4)
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and
close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will
build it as in the days of old: (KJV Amos 9:11)
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David,
which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will
set it up: (KJV Acts 15:16)
This year I have gone through a strong stripping: as in circumcision of
the heart, the flesh, peeling away old dead layers to heal old wounds, and
exposing generational sins to set me free from the past. In hindsight to
this vision, I think the Y2K clock and the computer chip had to do with
the timing of the stripping process.
This year I have written several posts on different aspects of being
stripped. From the many responses I received, many have been going
through the same thing.
A warning as related to the computer chip being left in too long, is not
to wallow in the process. The Lord has a specific time limit to this work
and if the enemy could continue the process, it would turn into
destructive things like shame, condemnation, fear, etc.
When the Lord peels away our layers to expose our wounds, our sins, our
failings, He does so to cleanse and make whole. The enemy does so to
destroy.
Something I had not realized until just this week, as He brought back the
memory of that wind basting away the layers on the ship, is that His
intention in this stripping has been to RENEW us, to RESTORE us and bring
us back from being underneath the years of enemy dirt and grime.
In the midst of dust and dirt flying everywhere, all I had been thinking
about this year was repentance and inner healing, but He had even more in
mind. He wanted to resurrect painful truths, so that they could be healed
in the right way, HIS WAY.
He wanted to take us past the pain, and even past the healing, and INTO
TOTAL RESTORATION OF ALL THAT WAS LOST. That will be mind boggling when
we begin to realize how the revelation will begin to come to pass in our
lives!
There are many applications to this revelation and to this work He is
doing among us. One of them is the ship. Ship in prophetic language
speaks of leadership. He is raising up His government and restoring
something that has been buried a very long time.
I perceive this goes all the way back to the leadership of the early
church and extends into the present time. We have yet to know what His
kingdom is to become ON THIS EARTH.
Today I received an email that reaffirmed what I had been thinking about
the restoration process and this was very quickened to me so I want to
pass it on:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revelation 21:5
Vision:
As I went inside there was a myriad of all different kinds of
boxes. Most like shoe boxes, some the type roses would be carried in,
some cartons, and crates, and even coffins! They were all sizes and
shapes and colors... Each box had a string that held it tied securely, and
a tag with a picture of the contents. This was the largest warehouse I
had ever seen, and it was full, with more boxes being brought in all the
time....
I walked down the row I had begun, and FINALLY reached the end where there
was a work table set up just inside the exit door. There stood the Lord,
with tools laying all around Him, and a big vat of something very thick
and sweet smelling. It contained a liquid that was a ruby red, very
glossy and shiny.
He had just completed what He had been working on, and turned it
around for me to see. It was a beautiful Tiffany style lamp, unlike any
on earth. He placed the tag that had come with it underneath the base of
this beautiful lamp as His signature card. It was a picture of what had
come into His hands from the box....Ugly and broken pieces of junk all
jumbled and disorganized had been tossed into the box and cast aside.
All of these boxes in the warehouse held similar contents of broken and
discarded pieces, parts that were useless and unwanted or tossed aside.
Now that these contents had been made new, it was placed on a serving tray
to be carried out the exit door. Above the exit door was written:
Word of the Lord:
My peace I give to you. You have given Me the pieces of your life, and I
make all things new.
Out of broken dreams will come the dream I have waiting just for you.
From destroyed hopes will come My hope fulfilled for many.
It is the blood I shed for you that is the very essence which has carried
you through, and will keep you together for what lies ahead.
Life is in the blood, and I restore life to you this day. My life poured
out, will flood into you, and I will seal and secure the pieces brought
to Me. Even those you withheld out of shame or pride, or a combination of
both, I will mold into something beautiful to show forth My glory!
It is My love poured out that has filled in the empty places, and now
holds all things made new. Even if you feel like some of the pieces are
still missing, I declare to you this day that is just more space for My
love to flood in and fill you. The varying sizes and shapes of the pieces
do not matter in My hands, for as My blood, the blood of the covenant you
have entered into with Me, seeps into the cracks and crevices of your
life, every part will be held and molded in place.
Then, as each of you has been rebuilt and reconstructed, I shall form and
fashion you together in ways that were not possible before you were broken
and needed to be made anew.
Pieces Restored,
To you,
continued from Sandy...
To tie all these concepts together:
As a result of not following their conscience, the body of Christ has
suffered gaping holes and loss. We are in pain, yet with the merciful
promise of restoration of those years.
In the mean time, the Lord is bringing the earth through a great upheaval.
Between spaces of rest, the labor pains grow stronger, and with each
upheaval (like wars are rumors of wars) the Lord knocks on the door of the
unrighteous. He wants to shake the world so that it is no longer settled
in its own complacency and realizes its need for a supernatural God - Who
alone has all the answers.
And within the shaking of that environment, He uses all events surrounding
His church to peel away the layers of our own decay to brings us lovingly
back to Him.
It is for our TOTAL RESTORATION that He is doing this!

James 2:13; Isaiah 63:9; Isaiah 65:1; 2 Peter 3:9; Ezra 3:11-13
I heard the Lord say:
'He is good; His love to Israel endures forever.'
And all the people will give a great shout of praise to the Me, because
the foundation of My house is laid. Many of the older priest and
Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple will wept aloud
when they see the foundation of this temple being laid, and many others
will shout for joy. No one will be able to distinguish the shouts of
joy from the sound of weeping, because the people will make, and are
making even now, so much noise.
I was walking the streets of Tidewater Virginia. There seems to be two
groups of people, only two walking wherever they pleased in this area.
Those with badges on , and those who refused them. Of course they were
from every different ethnic, age, economic group, and status of life.
They were intermingled within each of the two divisions apparently
without any reasoning I could tell of. One group was called "I"m
right.", the other "You're wrong." Now even these two distinguishing
names began to be intertwined and it was hard after awhile to distinguish
who belonged to which group. Some people were taking off their badges,
and throwing them away. Others were boldly walking up to those with
badges and taking them off. It seemed like now, or rather SUDDENLY, all
the badges were gone, no one had any to put on or take off. The Lord had
a large disposal truck at this loading dock, and He had sent out
messengers to gather every badge out of this place. He called a meeting
of everyone from the two groups to gather together before Him. Everyone,
I mean every person in this place gathered together before the Lord.
They all came!

3 Visions and a Broader Look at Restoration
VISION - THE CATERPILLARS
In the early 80's, I had a vision of a massive army of crawling
caterpillars climbing over mountains and valleys. Everywhere they touched
left a trail of slime, and everything the slime touched left a gaping
hole. I saw gaping holes in people. In a closer view I saw the army come
upon a school. There were trails of slime in the hallways, on the
ceilings, on the floors. It was seemingly impossible to get away from the
slime. I was told the only way to
avoid being touched by the slime was to exercise. I saw a group of people
in a classroom vigorously doing calisthenics! It was quite unusual to
see, but these people were being protected from the slime. As I stepped
outside, the caterpillars were now gone but I could see the devastation
they left behind.
And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a conscience void of
offense toward God, and toward men.
That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which
the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the
cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I
sent among you.
VISION - RESTORING THE SHIP
In May of 98 I had a trance vision where I heard intercessory music going
on behind a curtain. It was a medley of two songs. The first song was
"Behold He Comes." The words were: "There shall be wars and rumors of
war. Nation shall rise against nation. Because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold. There shall be earthquakes, pestilence,
distress of nations! Famine, signs in the sun, moon and stars!" The song
turned into the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" with the words, "Mine eyes
have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord. He is tramping out the vintage where the grapes of
wrath are stored. He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible
swift sword, His truth is marching on." [Words from Behold He Cometh! By
Jerry Kirk (1967) and Battle Hymn of the Republic by Willliam Steffe
(1852)]

ALL THINGS MADE NEW
A vision given to Debra-Louise Cossu
debbcossu@juno.com
"He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!"
I was in front of a large warehouse. Across the door was written:
"Pieces Restored"
"Peace is Restored."
Peace is restored,
made new,
in My love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so
that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that
He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must
receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken
by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the
servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
