YOU DO NOT NEED ANYONE TO TEACH YOU
Stephen Hanson
1JN 2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and
all of you know the truth.
JN 14:25 "All this I have spoken while still with you.
[26] But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in my name, will teach you all things and will
remind you of everything I have said to you. [27] Peace I
leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you
as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.
We are told in Ephesians 4:11 that various ministries are
given to build up the body of Christ and "prepare God's
people for works of service,"and without these ministries
then, we cannot come unto maturity.However, each of us
has an inner witness, an anointing, that will teach us
ALL things. This inner witness, the Holy Spirit, resides
inside each believer, and is "true."
The very anointing which Christ has is inside you and me.
When He went away He left a counselor, an "anointing,"
that would remind us of ALL that He spoke and taught. We
need but listen to that anointing and we will have all
that we need. He is the "way, the truth, and the life,"
and we have access to that truth and life. We need to
realize that we can all approach the throne of God with
"confidence," in our hour of need, and at ALL TIMES come
before Him. We need not go to a priest, or another, to
petition our requests. We all have access. He can teach
us all, and we can all come to know that TRUTH.
HEB 8:11 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest."
Now to sure, we must "remain in Him," in order for Him to
teach us. We will wither and die if we are no longer part
of the vine, and we can do NOTHING apart from Him. He is
our Father, and we need not fear, but trust that when we
earnestly seek Him, that He will be there and will reside
INSIDE US. Those who have gone before us, the prophets,
who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched
intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out
the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ
in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of
Christ and the glories that would follow." I Pet. 1:10-11
Although they did not know "completely" what the Spirit
was perhaps revealing to them at the time, they knew that
they were serving us, and they "intently" looked into
these things. But it is Christ in you, "the hope of
Glory." This is the mystery hidden for ages, and yet it
is so simple and yet so profound. Truthfully, we are
incomplete without each other's part and without being in
relationship. But again, we "all have access to Him," and
that anointing will bring us into ALL things, even in
showing us "things to come," and in reminding us of what
"has been spoken" by Him in the Spirit and in the word.
Dear people trust that inner witness of the Holy Spirit
that is inside of you. Be in relationship with other
believers and do not forsake the assembling together as
many do. But trust the teacher inside of you. He will
bring you unto ALL truth. He will remind you of what He
has spoken and:

SPIRITUAL PEOPLE
by Don Nori
God's intention is for us to be people of spirit, people who
live in the realm of the spirit, and touch base with earth whenever
there's something to do. That is the way Jesus lived. He was
spiritually minded, totally spiritually minded, and totally earthly
good. His spirituality did not put Him out of touch with the
natural. His spirituality did not make Him devoid of ability
to minister to humankind. In the true test of someone who is
spiritual it is his or her ability to touch the lives of other
people.
People of spirit are not introverted, but are constantly looking
out, looking beyond, looking to see how their lives fit into
the overall plan of God. They stop viewing themselves as the
central focus of existence, but begin instead to see themselves
as part of the great and mighty plan that God has not deviated
from since the very beginning of the ages.
Thousands of years ago, mankind thought the whole universe revolved
around the planet earth. Humanity still thinks that. Only now
it has become worse. Now we believe that the universe revolves
around us individually! And whatever doesn't fit me, satisfy
me, gratify me or care for my needs, cannot possibly be right
or good. The "me" society spends its days whining about why this
didn't work and why that didn't work; why somebody messed me
up here and why I got messed up over here; and how somebody did
treated me unfairly over there.
People who surrender their lives to Christ, however, begin to
understand that there is something bigger than themselves at
stake. As a people of spirit, we gradually begin to see a broader
picture. We see that God's plan is bigger than our own puny needs,
and our own whining of the past. People who are living in the
Spirit begin to understand that our lives can be established
in an eternal purpose; an eternal purpose, not just a natural
purpose. We can have the privilege of significance in this great
Kingdom thing that was spoken from the mouth of God, and which
far surpasses the importance of the things which seemingly detract
from our lives.
People of spirit who commit themselves to the Lordship of Jesus
will not build walls around themselves, seeking isolation from
everyone and everything. They will not strive to make their lives
and homes absolutely perfect and best, but they will find themselves
opening the doors. They will find themselves going out and not
coming in. People of spirit will find themselves opening their
hearts and not closing them. Why? It is because there is a river
of the water of life flowing from the throne of God through them
to humanity.
Truly spiritual people understand that God is coming down. Truly
spiritual people understand that there is a spiritual habitation
of God in the earth. They understand that they are a lively stone,
a living stone. In themselves, just a stone; but built into a
building, they become a habitation of God in the spirit.
We have tried to define and redefine, make and remake, understand
and re-understand the Body of Christ in the local church. Most
of our definitions have tried to justify a semi-commitment, a
semi-involvement somewhere, so that we can basically do what
we want to do. Our definitions usually facilitate a lifestyle
of living how we want to live, and of joining with the body of
Christ when there's nothing better to do.
Let me tell you something….
The demonstration of His Kingdom in the earth is a demonstration
of a habitation where He can dwell. It is a habitation of living
stones where there is co-laboring and care, strength and power,
life and love flowing through one another, demonstrating the
life and power of God. People don't ooh and ahh over a pile of
rocks scattered over a 20-acre site. But if you take time to
put those rocks into a castle, then people will come and ooh
and ahh over it. Why? Because something has been built. Something
has been put together. Something has become visible.
The visibility of His Kingdom is the life that flows between
you and I. Truly spiritual people see that. The see the gathering,
the growing, and the up-building of one another. They see an
expanse of His Kingdom that goes far beyond their own puny, self-centered,
whining needs and desires, and they see themselves as part of
something greater. And there is something greater. There is Jesus
- in all His Majesty and Glory; in all His mercy and love; all
His forgiveness and compassion. It is for Him that the world
yearns and craves. When we truly give Christ the pre-eminence
in our lives, the gospel comes out from under a bushel and a
city set on a hill is finally visible for all to see and experience.
This is the "greater thing" I want to live for and give my life
for. I want to draw my thoughts and my strength and my activity
from the Spirit. I want my confession to be as the scripture
declares, "In Him we live and move and exist." I want to be a
spiritual person. I want to respond to the Spirit within me by
ministering to that which is in the earth.

SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS!
Homer Owen
"Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew
the salvation of God." (Psalms 50:23)
The Lord is telling us in this passage of scripture that we have the ability to decide what our conversation
is that if we order our conversation aright we will be able to see our salvation. One day this week I was
playing golf with a group of guys and our combined scores would determine who won the tournament
that day. One of the men started telling us that he was a really bad golfer and especially bad at putting and
I knew that if we were going to have a chance of competing I was going to have to work on his
conversation.
It was amazing to watch him change as I would talk with him and tell him what he needed to do to
improve his game. He just expected to play bad golf when in fact he really wasn't that bad. He made
several putts that he really was not expecting to make and his confidence in himself began to take on a
whole new order. All this happened with a few words directed to him that changed the way he was seeing
himself. He in fact played the best round of golf ever and was quite proud of himself.
"By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their
host....For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." (Psalms 33:6,9.)
We are the children of God and it is His desire for us to move and have our being in Him and to act just
like Him. We can order our conversation aright and see the salvation of our God.
Glory! This is the secret of getting into the secret place of God. "I will say to the Lord, 'my refuge and
my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!" (Psalms 91:2) Have you told the Lord today that He is your
refuge and fortress? Just say it with me... Lord, you are my refuge and my fortress and I am putting my
trust in You.
Of course it gets really exciting as we read on in Psalms 91 and see what He has planned for us. He is
going to deliver us from the snares of the devil and cause us to not fear anything and allow us to just
observe the recompense of the wicked. All of this because we are saying to the Lord that He is our
refuge. "For you have made the Lord, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. No
evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent." (Psalms 91:9-10)
Are you willing for the Lord to teach you about your conversation? We must allow His Spirit to teach us
how to speak and when to speak. Do you know that the Lord has given you the right or privilege to not
have an opinion about everything? "This you know, my beloved brethren. Let every one be quick to
hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of
God." (James 1:18-20) Our thoughts or opinions can get us into a lot of trouble and we just have to learn
how to be quiet and listen to Him and then say what He says. Glory for so great a salvation.
This is coming to you from Homer Owen in Waco, Texas. I appreciate your being on my list, but if you
want off, please let me know. My desire is to share two or three times a week what the Lord is putting on my heart. My home page: http://home.earthlink.net/~homerowen/
A CLEAN HEART
Debbie Cossu
There was an invitation sent out across the land. No one told another
they had received it. They had been instructed to keep the news of the
meeting a private matter between them and the one who had sent it. These
were given out to rich and poor alike. Known and unknown received the
engraved envelopes. Some of the people had not seen this man in decades,
and others had only heard of His name, but never seen His face. There
were some, no many who trembled with joy as tears ran down their faces
when they realized who had summoned them.
The day of the noted celebration had arrived, and each one left their
homes for the meeting place. All the highways were crowded. The back
streets were too. Neighbors who had not spoken in years saw they were
headed in the same direction, and sped up to pass each other. Relatives
who had been disowned were seen strolling up to the gates. There were
gigantic guards all around so even those who wanted to fight or complain
did not dare. It seemed not many were as happy now as they had been when
they thought they had received a personal invitation. Of course each one
had been chosen by the patriarch Himself, He just did not want any to be
left out of the joy to come so He had called out to many.
It was now told to the people that not just the invitation had to be in
their hand, but they had to show evidence of being wounded. Old and
young alike all hung their faces down and a silence boomed through the
air. As the people lined up to go in, it was interesting to hear the
exchange of conversation at the guard gates. One would say here is the
wound I got from when my brother betrayed me, and a hundred other stories
of being hurt or rejected or injured by another. That was not the kind
of wounds looked for by this Man. The wound required to be admitted was
the wound that had been returned for the hurt that was so readily found.
When some would respond that they had none, a special zoom lens was
placed over their hearts. An ugly hard stone, or even more than one,
could be seen. That is what must be left outside the gate. As they
agreed, the bigger and more visible wounds were removed as well.
Not all those with invitations choose to go in. They either refused the
zoom lens, or wanted to keep what they saw in their hearts. They left
empty while still holding what they had come with.
Inside a joyous celebration was mounting for those who had entered with
nothing,
nothing but a clean heart...
Word:
No more fighting about who is right and who is wrong. Do not argue over
who belongs here and who does not. The book of remembrance I am
recording is different than yours. Come and let us reason together. The
fear of the Lord has kept you, even when you kept that which you should
have let go of years ago. I am gathering together from the far corners
of the earth those who are My Own. As you are reunited with those who
hurt you, and those whom you are still hurting this day, the healing balm
of My love will soothe and comfort you through one another. You must go
to those who have aught against you, for they cannot make the journey due
to the weight of the sin upon them. Your own sin has hindered you in the
past as you even believed and justified your silence as a type of holding
the peace. My peace is proclaimed, proclaimed through love. There is
no peace in ignoring each other, even while seeking Me. As love of the
brethren grows in unity, those in the world will be knocking on your
doors in desperation, instead of you knocking on theirs out of
duty.....and the result will be the fear of the Lord because you choose
to honor one another.
You shall determine the next chapter to be written.
Can you see what I see.

PUSH, PULL and STAND
Tammie Gelis
It is time for my people to push past the things that have kept them in
bondage. Push past the things that would keep them down. Push past the
gates of Hell and see the victory won.
Pull from Me, pull from all that I have for you. Pull from the provisions
I have made for you. But even more-so, pull together as My people. Come
in to one mind and one heart focused on Me. Learn to lean upon Me and
upon those I have set in your paths. Pull together so together you can
pull down My glory and see it manifest amongst you.
And lastly, I say to you stand in this last day. Stand firm no matter what
be going on around you. Do not be shaken in your faith. Be grounded in Me
and in your relationship with Me and you will stand. When the seas get into
turmoil, you will stand. When others fall around you, not able to keep
pushing .... you STAND. Then you will be rewarded. Lean on Me and stand.

Now is Now
by Debra Westbrook
This is God's kairos time. A time for God's church to have a "coming out"
party. A time to display the manifold wisdom of God to principalities and
powers in the heavenly realm. For that now is now.
A time for the kingdom of heaven to advance with a violent faith as a
prophetic army emerging from the shadows of God's wing. For that now is
now.
A time to explode upon the scene of human history, released from a
bystander and spectator mentality, empowered to change the world with a
fiery passion for Jesus. For that now is now.
For now is the time whereby the mystery of Christ will be unraveled before
our very eyes through His church. That which has been hidden shall be
hidden no more as the Church of Jesus Christ arises into the glorious
splendor of her eternal purpose. This eternal purpose has been
foreordained of God before the world began. That now is now.
For eye has not seen, nor has ear heard the glorious church that will
arise displaying the multifaceted nature of Christ which is hidden in the
heart of the Father. Such as diamonds, we have been formed through the
fire, cleansed through the trials and oppositions, and chiseled by the
hand of God.
These diamonds shall emerge to showcase the beauty of My Son. The full
expression of My Bride will be released through the revelation that will
be released to those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying.
That now is now.
Come out! Come out! Come out! Into the fullness of your inheritance in
Christ Jesus.
Our time in the wilderness has released us from the bondage and death of
religion. The veil has been lifted off of our eyes as we have learned to
step forth and travel upon a path that we had not walked on before - a
great paradigm shift releasing us from the old into the new.
We have appropriated by faith promises which were always there but hidden
from our eyes until God could trust us with His eternal purpose, knowing
we would not steal His glory or covet what another has. We are a church
coming out. Now, we have arrived at a point of release. For that now is
now.
Venture into the land of promise with your hands empty of personal desire
and dreams but your heart full of passion for more of Jesus. Corporately
arise as an army, dead of personal ambition, pride, and well doing to have
a single purpose of pursuing a clear revelation of the outworking of the
eternal purpose of My church through My remnant.
Do not be deceived for not all will see your true purpose or your true
form at this time. I will form you and shape you as My body in the days
ahead upon this path of release. This is your first step out, walking
forth by faith into a glorious inheritance that has been destined for you
before the foundations of the world hidden in my Son. Now is now.

The church in the nations should heed this warning. A political
spirit has been drawing many in the Lord's body into unholy alliances,
agreements based upon mutual benefits, and treaties anchored in joint
interests. None of these please the Lord. They will not produce the
fruit of His Kingdom, nor stand in the day of trial. All such bonds
that are born of the mind and the heart of man, even for the best of
intentions, face the risk of turning into soul-ties, selfish
manipulations, and even demonic unions. Remember how seriously the
Lord took the unsanctified unity of the builders of the Tower of
Babel.

Beaten Gold
Bryan Hupperts
Hi, SheepTrax!
Job 23:10 "When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold."
While I am not a metallurgist, I have been reading about how gold is
refined and then hammered into usefulness and have gleaned a few
truths to share.
BANG! The iron hammer of the smith is raised and brought down on the
lump of freshly mind gold. Soon the gold begins to suffer many things
at the smiths' hands. The gold, very malleable, is squashed a bit,
contorted, misshapen, and is soon hit again. And again, and again.
The gold is on an anvil, a hard place, where it is beaten torturously
and in great agony until it takes on a shape it was not. It is
pressed beyond endurance, beyond it's limits, beyond it's natural
threshold of pain until it is no longer recognizable as a lump but
only as gold. The very crystalline structure of the gold is changing,
hardening. The metalmaster continues to rain blow upon blow on the
gold hammering away seemingly without mercy.
The gold can only feel the pain, feel the unfairness of the
circumstance, feel the sting of the hammer. The goldsmith, through
eyes of faith, can see the thing of beauty and service that he is
making one crushing blow at a time.
Gold is a biblical symbol for God. He says that the gold and silver
are his - gold speaking of deity and silver speaking of redemption
and salvation. Many places in the Bible use a peculiar phrase "beaten
gold". The only gold used in the construction of the Tabernacle was
beaten gold. It is only beaten gold that enters into divine service.
Beaten gold was made by hammering gold into very fine sheets which
were often folded over and beaten again and again until the were made
to the consistency required by the goldsmith. The smith works seeing
the end from the beginning. While his eyes can see the lump of gold
before him, in his mind he is seeing a vessel forged into a vessel of
honor fit for the Kings service.
When we come to Christ, we are like a new lump of gold. We are born
again and filled with His Spirit. We walk with God a bit when
suddenly trials and tribulations begin to hit. We begin to suffer
losses and learn to live a new kind of life, a divine life where we
are forged into the image of Jesus. Blow upon blow seem to hit us
from every direction and we wonder why this perceived judgment of God
has come.
"Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from the things he
suffered." (Heb. 5: 8). It is only through picking up our cross
daily and following the Lord do we become beaten gold. Much is
written upon the refinement process where the gold is placed in fire
to be purified and the dross removed. When the smith can see his
reflection, the gold is perfect and ready...for service? NO! Ready
for the anvil, the high place of sacrifice and death.
There are many cleaned up lumps of gold in Christs' kingdom who will
not submit to the hammer. The refuse to be altered on the altar of
the anvil. Thank God they are in the kingdom but they are of no
practical use to the King. It is ONLY after gold has been made pure
that it can be first beaten into an unrecognized shape, flattened out
into a thin sheet, and then made finally into a vessel of honor. You
cannot enter into your destiny in Christ until you have said, "though
he slay me, yet will I serve him," and laid your life on the anvil,
His will be done in you.
If we are to follow Jesus, we must daily follow him to the Cross. It
is through many tribulations that we enter into the kingdom of God.
We must lay our lives as a living sacrifice upon the anvil of God
ready to die to our lumpy self and be hammered into the golden,
glorious image of Jesus! Gold, the coveted King of metals, must be
hammered and humbled before the King of Creation.
It is one thing to desire to be used of God. It is quite another to
be willing to die to self and be forged finally into a useable
vessel. The difference between being a beautiful little lump of gold
and a golden goblet that can hold the King's new wine is the
willingness to die to self and willingly face the hammer and anvil.
In Christ you are precious gold in the eyes of God. Now, would you be
a beautiful little lump before His throne, or a finished goblet at
His banqueting table?

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!

Bad things, Christian people
by Gary
Friends:
I have noticed that many "Christians" walk around under assault from the
enemy. That is what they say anyhow. They claim that they are being
assaulted because of their faithfulness. Upon closer examination you will
find that they are "victims of the Law."
That is to mean they are participators of the laws of God, the law of sowing
and reaping. The secular wisdom calls it "what goes around, comes around."
We, the body of Christ, in Western minded nations have been inundated with
the prosperity teaching. We hear so often the up side of sowing and reaping.
We hear give and it shall be given. We hear, sow bountifully reap
bountifully. These may be true. However, the law of sowing and reaping
works both ways. That is why the laws of God are can be referred to as "a
double edge sword." It cuts both ways.
How can we honestly expect our father to reward us for our disobedience? How
can we sow to the flesh and expect to reap the river of his presence? How
can we feed our flesh more then our spirit man and expect to walk holy? We
cant we are being foolish. We are being deceived if we believe that our
father will violate his word for us.
We say with our mouths "I love you father." We sing from our lips that we
will not turn away. We give him our hearts and souls. But then we leave his
presence and we chose to serve sin.
WE ARE SINNERS, cleansed by HIS grace, but we are NOT to use that grace
thoughtlessly. It's the blood of Jesus.
I am such a sinner. I fight with my flesh hourly. I have found that hard
times come on me because of my willful disobedience. I know that which is
correct to do, but I chose sin more often. I am not alone in this battle.
Paul describes this intense battle in Romans. We, the body of Christ, have
come up with all kinds of saying about this.
Brothers and sisters, I am not perfect. I am far from it. I cry out in my
heart "father forgive me." But, I still have to walk out the reality of what
I have sown in past.
I fall victim to the stripes of circumstances. I get wounded. I feel
weakened. I cry out to our father "Lord forgive me."
Here in I find another complexity. Many of we Christians want Jesus to be
our savior (from the flames of hell) but we are not ready to surrender
Lordship to him. Here in is another battle.
Brothers & sisters if you are facing tiring times in your life right now,
don't ask the father "where are you now," or "why is this happening to me."
Because the Word of God states he is here in the battle with us. The Word of
God states we reap what we have sown.
Let's face it, we have blown it in times past. We are SINNERS by nature.
The quickest way to "recovery" is repentance. Heartfelt repentance. It
still WORKS.
Why do "bad things" happen to "Christian people"? Because we blow it. But
be of good cheer our tiring of our faith works out the impurities in our
hearts. Oh body of Christ, We NEED more repentance. We need more time in
his presence, not for laughing, not for partying in him, not for rolling on
the floor laughing. (those are good too). We need more "carpet time" with
heart felt repentance. Forget about our lives. Just find a place for you to
meet the father. Humble your selves and weep for your sinfulness. Repent
for your choices. Repent for your motives. Repent for your thoughts.
Repent for your actions. Seek his cleansing blood.
Ohhh, I need to go and repent. Will you agree with me (in action) and find a
place to repent? Who am I writing to? If you are reading this, then it is
to YOU? Good news, repentance is for ALL age groups (none excluded).
Repenting before him,
Gary

Isa 5:27-28 "None shall be weary nor stumble among them,
none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of
their loins be loosed, nor the lachet of their shoes be
broken; whose arrows are sharp, and all their horses'
hoofs shall be counted like flint". Ex. 19:5-6 Ye
shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people,
for all the earth is Mine, and ye shall be unto Me A
Kingdom of Priests".
I Am raising up a people in this hour who will literally
and totally reject the wisdom of this world, for it is
foolishness to your God. I Am raising up kings and
priests after the order of Melchizedek. You will have one
heart and one motive, you are redeemers, reconcilers and
restorers, and you shall move forward pouring forth My
grace, My mercy and My salvation. You have gone through
the purging fires, purifying your heart, mind and body.
You have "willingly" surrendered and given up all in every
area. You have stayed the course, willing to have every
selfish, even secret motive and intent of your heart to be
cast out. For everything must come to the surface for the
dross to emerge. I had called you out of Babylon and I
have purged Babylon out of you.
You are overcomers, you are conquerors but only after
being conquered by Me. You are standing at the ready to
ride with My Son. You shall carry the light of the world
and wherever you go, the light and splendor of heaven will
shine. You shall have "clean eyes" the eyes of Christ.
The eyes of discernment, shining with heavenly fire,
shining with unlimited love for those reaching out in
their pain and misery.
I have prepared My horsemen company. Pharoah's horses and
the horses of the kings, were known for strength and
swiftness in battle and powerful in warfare. They were
noted for beauty, sure footedness, never falling or
stumbling, obedient and would run straight "into" the
enemy even unto death. They were bedecked with gold and
precious jewels, portraying the glory of the king. They
were "royal horses"and they were 'thoroughbreds in every
way". As My horsemen company, you are as the magnificent
white stallion My Son rides at your head. Symbolizing
holiness, purity, righteousness, illumination...all
characteristics of My Sons of Glory. You are rapidly
approaching your completion and your speed and beauty will
become marked, bearing the King's Glory. Into the
manifestation of My Sons of Glory...Power, power for
speed, strength and victory.
During your wilderness training I was there sometimes
unseen or unheard, but I have established your steps. I
have kept your feet from slipping, lifted you over all the
ravines and jagged rocks below, even though they were
unknown to you. As Gideon, who was also in hiding, there
is nothing especially mighty about you, but as with
Gideon, I led you slowly and gently to become My Mighty
Men and Women of Valor. You are not of this world, there
will be no more of the old nature left in My chosen ones.
For old things have passed away and behold "ALL THINGS ARE
BECOMING NEW".
Now you are waiting, waiting for My command, and you
shall go forth. Grasp this, My beloved, you have been and
are being prepared to rule and reign with Christ.
Purposed from before the foundation of the world, calling
you to Glory. Your entire life has been to train and
equip and process you for a royal position, one with
Jesus. You are standing on the threshold of a powerful
move of your God. My Son shall be revealed in you and
through you.
You are even now being raised from death, death from the
world and carnality and from your wilderness cave. A
company with Christ as the head bringing forth the rule of
the Kingdom of God upon the earth. Hold on, for the
journey you are to embark on, you cannot conceive with
your human mind. Only in the Spirit can you imagine where
I am taking you. You have been called for such a time as
this. You will speak forth My words to the nations and
the world. You will speak pure and undefiled words, as
they come straight from My lips. Your light is a beacon
to those I will place in your path. There is a great
breaking forth as everything is lining up for that great
day. Stand back and see the Mighty Work of the Lord, for
the hour for the manifestation of My Sons of Glory is at
hand and I who have begun a good work in you shall
complete it. My chosen ones "The day of death is over,
now it's time to live" !

1JN 2:[27] As for you, the anointing you received from
him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach
you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things
and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as
it has taught you, remain in him.
HEB 8:10 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
JN 16:12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you
can now bear. [13] But when he, the Spirit of truth,
comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not
speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and
he will tell you what is yet to come. [14] He will bring
glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it
known to you. [15] All that belongs to the Father is
mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what
is mine and make it known to you."

You will never be truly spiritual until you see yourself for
who you really are, in all your human frailty. And when you see
yourself for who you really are, you will run to join yourself
to God's people. Those who have seen the Lord Jesus have seen
His Body, and when you see His Body, you join yourself to His
Body. You gather yourself. You become part of a habitation of
God in the Spirit.
