Moratorium on Activity
A.W. Tozer
"Lord, I do pray that You would move in the hearts of leaders in
churches everywhere to prompt this time of silence and self-
examination. So often activity feeds on itself and it takes a
conscious effort to step off the treadmill to re-evaluate. Stimulate
our hearts, and quiet us today to hear from You. Amen."

Contending
David A. Scott
'Contending' also means that there is a point, and a counter-point. Don't ever let anyone veto your freedom in Christ
to ask, "Is this right?" If we were on an expedition, walking on a hiking trail and I was leading, how long would we walk
before you would ask (out of reassurance) are you sure this is the right way? There are too many tangents that can take the
Gathering off course. What may start off as election e-mails today can end up being health food guru meditations tomorrow. If
the original twelve nor the upper room crew ventured down the paths that we are taking, then we may miss out on the glory
they carried!
Galatians 2:11 reads, "But when Peter
was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." I praise God for allowing such realism in
the life of spiritual leaders to be displayed in the bible or everyone would think it taboo to call anyone into question. Of course
this exchange is particularly revealing because Paul was the most despised saint and most suspect apostle. His days as Saul of
Tarsus followed him into the kingdom as the thorn in the flesh. How dare he, of all the people, confront Peter the great
water-walker, day of Pentecost preacher who has many years and thousand of souls notched on this gospel belt – an apostle
who walked with Christ himself? Peter not only made the kingdoms version of 'Bloopers, Blunders and Bleeps' that time but
other times as well. Paul called him out and God's grace is sufficient. Peter, James, John, Paul and the rest were subject to the
Roman 7 blues. So was Paul disrespecting God, or not understanding authority, or just plain wanting to take the kingdom over
by force? How ludicrous! He was simply trying to catch a brother that was falling before he did the belly flop on the
pavement! It went down in front of some of the other saints because they had been influenced by Peter's error. Obviously it
caused a stir that eventually created some glory.
Your e-mail on January 3rd mentioned George W. Bush as leading people to Christ. Praise God if it is authentic. Has
the Lord revealed to you that he is born-again or did you just observe something on television (frequently referred to as the
idiot box)? The drive for status and position in this carnal world will allow perceptions to be made to persuade the masses.
Reports are not necessarily true. The Lord speaks by Ezekiel 13:10 how even God's people can be seduced by hearing,
'Peace, when there is no peace.' Be sober and vigilant. Is this country under judgment or not? Judgment can swoop in like a
plague without announcing its arrival. I have a few concerns about our new president that keeps me from making him the
American Pope: His record setting number of executions in Texas in light of Jesus' commands; his former drug abuse; his
withholding information about DUI's, etc. Probably the most frightening thing is that a backslidden church has established his
religious convictions – a church that we apostles have been called to bring to order. Is he qualified to lead us (the Lord's
apostles)? We need to send him through the discernment process. Amen?

The Pace is Picking Up
Bonita Chapamn
I heard the Lord say these words twice tonight during
intercession, "The pace is picking up." Here is what He
says about the subject:
Some of you are wondering about the amount of harassment
you are experiencing in your lives right now. Things are
hitting at you on every level in many ways. Don't be
alarmed or frightened by this. The reason for it is simple
and also joyous. Yes, JOYOUS, you heard me right. You see,
I am picking up MY pace in the earth right now, and I am
picking up the pace of My work in your lives. When that
happens, My archenemy also picks up his pace. He is trying
to get you to turn aside from your calling, and to lose
hope that you will accomplish all that I have told you to
do. He is working overtime to persuade you that you cannot
hear Me, do not fully obey Me, and will be unable to
accomplish My goals for your life. He is much mistaken. In
fact, he knows that he is wrong, but he will not admit it
and tries to hide the truth even from himself, as well as
from you.
Let me tell you the truth. My pace is picking up to such a
degree that he will not be able to keep pace with My pace
in your lives. All you need to do is to keep your hearts
turned to Me, and I will do the rest. Laugh at his
attempts to deter you. Then just turn to Me and step into
My swift pace. We will leave him in the dust! You and I
working as a unit will accomplish everything I desire. I
will do the actual work. You need only to be My vessels.
Now doesn't that take the pressure off? Whoever told you
that you had to DO the works yourself? Not Me! It is I who
do the works! All the world will know that I AM is doing
the works! You just be that pipe that I can flow through
to the world. You will need to keep your pipe open and
available, because I am picking up the pace. That means
that there will be a much greater flow coming through you
to fulfill My plans.
Don't wonder about the harassments at all. When they come,
just cast them aside, and remember that it simply means
that MY pace is picking up, both in the world and in your
personal spiritual life. Look for the glory to increase as
the pace increases. Look for the harvest to come forth as
the pace increases. Look for My heart to fill yours as the
pace increases. Yes, the pace is definitely picking up.
Now, aren't you glad?

The House Of My Choosing
Kim Puffpaff
Haggai 1:4, " Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled
houses, while this house remains in ruin?"
This is what I heard the Lord speaking to me...Where is the house you have
built for me? For I do not dwell in temples made with hands. For I have
choosen to dwell in you. So now, give careful thought to your ways. We give
much attention to building things that are man made, when we need to be
building His temple in our lives. Outward appearances are maintained,
ministries appear to be growing and have His blessing. But remember, "man
looks on the outward appearance, God looks on the heart." We seem to get
caught up in what we are building. Whatever that might be.....ministries,
business, homes, reputations, how we appear to others. But what do we look
like on the inside? I keep hearing Him say, 'WHERE IS THE HOUSE YOU HAVE
BUILT FOR ME?"
It is time to stop concentrating on your paneled houses and go up into the
mountains and bring down timber and build THE HOUSE, so that I MAY TAKE
PLEASURE IN IT AND BE HONORED.
There is a time of realignment coming. People and ministries are being
called back to the basics. Foundation have been cluttered and are beginning
to crumble. You have planted much, but have reaped little. You eat but never
have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but
are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.
This is what the Lord Almighty says; GIVE CAREFUL THOUGHT TO YOUR WAYS!.
WHERE IS THE HOUSE YOU HAVE BUILT FOR ME? For I look down and I see man made
buildings and programs, facilities to house Me. Do you think even my feet
will fit there? For I desire to dwell in you! Then my presence will come to
that temple in power! Come now, let's build the house in you. That is where
I desire to dwell. Let me fill every part of your being.
Haggai 2:4b, " Be strong all you people of the land, declares the Lord and
work, For I am with you, declares the Lord Almighty. This is what I
covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains in
you. Do not fear!"
FOR I DESIRE TO DWELL IN YOU! FOR YOU ARE MY TEMPLE! FOR YOU ARE THE HOUSE
OF MY CHOOSING!!
Song of Songs 2:10, " My lover spoke and said to me, "Arise my darling, my
beautiful one and come away with me!"

In Supernatural Love
Ginny Bell
My Supernatural Love is the opposite of fleshly anger, pride, selfishness
(which is also pride), fear, greed, hate, bitterness, contentiousness,
fleshly indulgence of our human appetites which fall outside of God-given
boundaries. Abiding in the Vine will keep you from falling into all of
these opposites to my Supernatural Love. Human love cannot compare with
the Love that I AM and the Love I AM able to give to you and through you.
Human love will fall short every time. It is not within your power to
love from your humanity the way you will need to love in the coming days.
You must learn to operate in MY Supernatural Love. You are in the Last
Days on My calendar. The kind of Love you need to operate in will only be
infused into your spirit by My Holy Spirit through the act of sitting at
my feet. You MUST come to me now to listen to My heart. You MUST come
and let My Holy Spirit reveal My Word to you, for there are not only
hidden treasures that are good for you to know, but your entire SURVIVAL
depends on being able to hear My voice; how can you obey Me if you cannot
hear me? HEARING MY VOICE NOW IS MORE VITAL TO YOU THAN EVEN YOUR FOOD OR
YOUR SLEEP! Things are not as they appear to be, as seen by the natural
eye on the surface. You MUST take advantage of boldly coming to the
Throne Room for help, direction, strength, discernment and wisdom—for your
total sufficiency.
They key to surviving in these Last Days is to be connected to the Vine
and to abide in It (Me). All things will be worked out through My Love,
in which I AM teaching you to walk. If you are not able to learn to walk
in Love, I will not be able to use you in these Last Days. This is not
just a nice idea to use from time to time, Beloved. This is going to be
your way of life from now on. If you lack wisdom on how to walk in My
Love, ask Me and I will abundantly give it to you. It is My delight to
show you these things. It makes My heart swoon to hear you ask for
wisdom. YOU THRILL MY HEART WHEN YOU ASK FOR GODLY WISDOM! My Holy
Spirit will show you and teach you, and I will give you mentors. It is my
good pleasure to give you this good gift of wisdom with regard to walking
in My Love. Remember that among faith, hope and Love, the greatest of
these is Love.

Choosing the 'New Oil'
A few weeks ago , I had this dream:
SOME BASIC INTERPRETATION:
I believe that the person in the dream with me was a Christian, with whom I
had some things in common. When the oil suddenly appeared, he did not
recognize it for what it was, nor did he even consider looking at it, into
it, or thinking about whether he needed it or what it was for. He had an
already decided agenda, and this new oil was not a part of his plan, so he
just tossed it away.
DINING TABLE: Although the oil was tossed aside by one, it came back to a
dining table, and so was there and available for anyone who chose to come to
the table to partake. . It is our choice to come to the table and eat and
drink of it. The Lord Himself prepares the table for us. He provides the
table, and what is on it, and we choose whether or not to eat from it. If we
abandon ourselves to Him, then we partake of Him, all that He is, and ALL He
provides for us at His table.
Although this man refused, and wasted the anointing, it will be there for
others who are hungry for the Lord Himself. ? I believe that this anointing
will be received with a servant's heart. I believe that just as the OT
Levitical priests were to be servants to take care of the Lord's Table to
have the bread of His presence, so too must we. We are to help look after
the table for others and also eat of it ourselves, with humble servant
hearts. Are we really willing to be humble and be the servant? for "whoever
wants to become great among you must be your servant"...(Mark 10:43) This is
where the power and anointing are!
THE SALT-SHAKER
Many are experiencing a purifying fire - purging, stripping, breaking and
shaking, to bring us to a place of having no confidence in the 'flesh' and
therefore bringing us to far more dependence on God. Those who have allowed,
and continue to receive the Lord's cleansing and purging work, will be able
to receive the 'life' in this new anointing. It will reach in deeper than
previous anointings. With it will come further intimacy with the Lord, with
our 'masks', shallowness being further removed.
The sufferings, trials, stripping and 'shaking' that the Lord allows in our
lives cuts away much self-righteousness, self-sufficiency and
hard-heartedness. We need this, for God wants to give us His power, but only
when He can trust us with it. This time of far more trust and release is
coming, but at a greater cost. Many are getting a growing awareness of this
concept, but for many of us, it's still partly only a concept, because we
are still only willing to pay part of the cost which only gives us part of
the anointing. We need to really know if we are really desperate enough for
all that God has?
When I awoke from the dream, I barely remembered it, and so I did not
recognize it's importance. It only vaguely came to mind, and the Lord
convicted me to seek Him about it. It was only as I continued to do so, that
I remembered many details, and get revelation about them. So initially, it
was I who was guilty of not recognizing, and nearly 'tossing to one side'
that which the Lord had given me. I did not initially recognize that the
dream was from God, because I jumped out of bed to go about my day without
really seeking God much first, and so I nearly missed Him and what He had
for me for the day.
To receive the anointing, and everything that the Lord has for us, we must
put aside all else, and seek Him with ALL our heart. We must not be so
presumptuous as to think that 'the others' may miss out, but that we won't.
We will not find that which we do not search for. "For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also."(Luke 12:34). We will only receive if we
have searching, hungry hearts.
If we become careless, and do not appreciate, and look for God in all
aspects of our lives, then we will not see Him there. We will only receive
if we have grateful hearts. It takes many very small events to make up our
days which the Lord Himself has made. We must be faithful in the little
things. " You (who) have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in
charge of many things".(Matt25:23) To receive the new anointing we must
recognize, appreciate, and work with the seemingly insignificant things
that we already have in our lives.
To "eat and drink" of our Lord, is to eat and drink of all of Him, and the
table He sets before us - we must not toss aside the bits we don't like or
want. When we're desperately hungry enough we'll eat everything that's put
before us, and be grateful for every little bit.
There are no shortcuts. Are we willing to dig to find the hidden treasures;
to lay down our lives and be the servant; and to be grateful for all things.
Are we really hungry enough yet?
May we love and support each other in our growth!

Under His Wings
An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating picture of God's wings...
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had
remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, that those under the cover of her wings would live...
Psalm 91:4 "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be
thy shield and buckler."

Three Bites
Mary Clark
In a vision, I saw someone take a bite, then another bite
and then another bite. Why did you show this to me, Lord?
***
The Lord God Almighty is calling to His beloved. He is
desiring to transform His beloved into something of great
beauty. Look around you ,beloved. Behold the goodness of
your Lord, as He comes close to you and explains Himself
in these last days. Behold His mighty works. Behold the
great and terrible day of the Lord that is approaching,
and know that it is a splendid time to be alive in Me. It
is a splendid time to be on the right side - the side of
the Lord God Almighty.
I am explaining Myself to the world. There will be great
fear and trembling in this last day that you are about to
behold. There will be signs - terrible signs - that will
get the attention of all the inhabitants of the world.
Look on these signs. Look on these signs and know that the
day, the great and terrible day,? of the Lord God Almighty
is at hand. You ask Me, "Father, what do you mean? What
may we expect? Is this to be a time of devastation?.of
famine.of fear? What kind of fear? Fear of You? Fear of
the evil one? We are curious about your intentions, Lord.
You always say that your intent toward us is kind. What is
your intent by showing us great and terrible things to get
our attention - to get the whole world's attention? We are
curious, Lord, because we desire more than anything to
understand your ways and walk in them. Please prepare us
with words we can understand for what is about to occur."
I will give you some word pictures you may understand,
beloved children. Let Me cast some light - some
understanding - about what looms ahead on the horizon for
those who inhabit the earth. For those who seek the favor
of the great King there will be signs that you will
understand as being only the hand of your God at work. You
will look on all that takes place and recognize it as
being My work, because I have told you in My word about
these happenings. Yes! There will be famines! Yes! There
will be devastation! Yes! The evil one will run rampant
across the face of the earth, seeking whom He may devour.
Yes! All of these things are in the offing. But there is
more, beloved. There is more that is coming by My hand to
My beloved. I want you to think of it in terms of three
gigantic bites. The first bite will give you a taste of My
glory . The second bite will give you a larger taste of My
glory. AND the third bite will give you a taste of My
rapturous glory. Mmmm. This is to be a delightful time for
those who are in the secret place of the Almighty.a
delightful time. Count on Me to open mighty vistas for you
to enjoy the beauty of your great King. I am enfolding you
in My glory, beloved. I am enfolding you in the beauty of
your Lord God Almighty. Taste, beloved. Oh, yes. Taste Me
and know that I am delicious. I and all of My ways toward
My beloved are truly DE-LI - CIOUS!!!

Patient Endurance
Olivia Reitz
My Royal Priesthood, you have been walking the path of sacrifice, as did your great and High Priest, Jesus Christ
and you have been going through the 'trials' of endurance. I gave you a vision and since you know that it is
impossible for Me to lie and that I swear by Myself to fulfill My promises to you, your faith has sustained you.
Lately, you have felt that you could not possibly endure one more day - BUT - Because you believed what I said,
you have been able to endure through the frustrations, setbacks and disappointments, with an assurance that I
WILL bring My Word to pass. Your faith is in your God, not in the visible circumstances that surround you, for
you know that anytime you "allow" your circumstances to determine your course, you have taken your eyes off the
promise and off ME! As Jacob, you have held on til I would bless you with My Fullness. The mighty promise is
within your sight, but even now, I AM beginning to pour out blessings upon MY faithful ones. My Beloved, haven't
I said that I would make it bloom in the wilderness? Satan has attempted to keep the blessings just out of your
reach and he is trying any deception to make you think you will not recive them. Receive them, by faith - open
wide your hands and hearts and receive!
I Am the Living God, and there is never a moment when you need me that I will not be there for you. I know your
body grows weary, from time to time, but your "spirit" should rejoice in the midst of suffering weariness. I know
your hearts are longing to serve Me in the full promise that I have given you, BUT you "must" patiently endure.
My children, this too is preparation, for the time of gross darkness over the earth is fast approaching ... BUT ...
My Glory shall rise over you, so that you can see! You came into this and you felt you have lost much - but I, your
God - can give you much more than you could ever have lost. Rest assured that anything lost for Me are not
losses, they will be more than recompensed. Even in the center of apparent adversity, be assured that ALL things
are working together for your good, because of your love for Me. Yes, I CAN and WILL provide "miracles" for
you, but Glorious Beloved, it is MY desire that you not just settle for miracles, but to move to a higher realm where
you live and walk "each day" - IN MY PRESENCE AND BLESSING, for that is your destiny!
*endurance ... the stamina or lasting quality to press on "in spite of"
pain, adversity, fatigue or stress.
"He who serves under the bloodstained banner of Immanuel will have that to do which will
call for heroic effort and patient endurance. But the soldier of the cross stands unshrinkingly
in the forefront of the battle. As the enemy presses the attack against him, he turns to the
stronghold for aid, and as he brings to the Lord the promises of the Word, he is
strengthened for the duties of the hour."

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting. -- Psalm 139:23-24
I suppose my suggestion will not receive much serious attention, but
I should like to suggest that we Bible-believing Christians announce
a moratorium on religious activity and set our house in order
preparatory to the coming of an afflatus from above. So carnal is the
body of Christians which composes the conservative wing of the
Church, so shockingly irreverent are our public services in some
quarters, so degraded are our religious tastes in still others, that
the need for power could scarcely have been greater at any time in
history. I believe we should profit immensely were we to declare a
period of silence and self-examination during which each one of us
searched his own heart and sought to meet every condition for a real
baptism of power from on high. [The Pursuit of Man, 94.]

By Sue Hamilton
I was standing in a room talking with a man. During our conversation, the
man suddenly found that he was holding a bottle of oil that 'seemed to come
from no-where'. With no thought at all, he immediately threw the bottle
away, across the room. It landed on a dining table, which previously we
hadn't seen there. It landed at the back of the table behind a few scattered
items, but I only recognized the salt-shaker. The table had been previously
used to dine at, but had now been left for quite a while. The table had not
been completely cleared away and cleaned up - it had a slightly neglected,
messy and empty look. The bottle landed on its side, which caused it to
crack and slowly leak, wasting some of the precious oil. The man who'd
thrown it away, never gave it another thought, but I was somehow aware that
the oil was of importance and it was certainly not meant to be tossed to one
side. I commented on the oil, and the more I looked at it, the more I
noticed about it and it's importance. It was not like the 'normal' oil we
are used to. It was a very deep rich oil, - a very deep golden colour with a
reddy-orange tinge. It was crystal clear (transparent), and pure. I could
not take my eyes off it - I looked into it, as if it held life itself. I
felt a deep longing for it. The person with me still could only see it as an
unwanted bottle of oil, no matter what revelations I pointed out about it.
But the awareness of the importance of this oil grew and grew for me, as did
the longing for it, as I continued to look into it. I felt a strong sense
that this was the 'new oil' to come - a new anointing.
APPEARANCE OF THE OIL: This new anointing will look much different from
anointings that we have known in the past. It's differences will make it
unrecognizable to many. It will be recognized and longed for by those who
have become hungry and desperate for the Lord.
The dream seems to imply that the anointing will bring a further chasm
between those who would reject, and those who would accept the anointing.
Some are willing to lay aside the 'familiar', 'comfortable' 'understandable'
and 'controllable' with a desperate longing for only Christ Jesus himself.
For those denying 'self', and hungering and thirsting for righteousness,
truly "they shall be filled"(Matt 5:6). As they come and drink the Lord and
His anointing in, there will be a great release of restoration, healing,
power, love, wisdom and giftings.
We are to be the "salt of the world". Salt is put in a
salt -shaker for a number of reasons. The Master puts the many grains of
salt in the salt shaker to contain the salt in His chosen controlled
environment. When the salt is to be used, the Master tips the environment
upside down, so that the salt can no longer be 'settled' on the bottom,
where it would become hardened and useless if left there for too long. The
salt is shaken to loose it from the settled shape and 'form' it has
conformed to. The top of the salt shaker is a sieve, and as the salt is
continuously shaken, it is forced through the holes, out of its familiar
confined environment, into an unlimited unfamiliar space, as it is sifted
through the holes. This sifting divides and separates each salt grain from
the other salt grains that it was 'clinging' to, and generally 'sorts it
out'. It is not isolated from the other grains, as it takes many grains to
add saltiness to other things, but it works with the other grains to achieve
the master's purpose, and is controlled by his hand. This 'shaking' leaves
the grain of salt feeling very 'shaken' - unsettled, unsure, and often
feeling bruised, but at the end of the 'shaking', the salt grain lands
exactly where the master wants to use it, and it is now 'useable'.
The table that the Lord has for us, is prepared with both a salt shaker, and
the oil. We cannot have the anointing with the power and all that goes with
it, until our foundation has been tested and we've been 'poured out'. We
must come to the cross and die to self. Since "Jesus learned obedience from
what He suffered"(Heb 5:8) so too must we.
