You must learn to make your evils your great good; and to spin comforts, peace, joy, communion with Christ, out of your troubles, which are Christ's wooers, sent to speak for you from Himself.”
“...whether God come to his children with a rod or a crown, if he come himself with it, it is well. Welcome, welcome Jesus, what way soever thou come, if we can get a sight of thee. And sure I am, it is better to be sick, providing Christ come to the bed-side, and draw aside the curtains, and say 'Courage, I am thy salvation,' than to enjoy health, being lusty and strong, and never to be visited of God.”

“[M]ake much of the written word, and pray to God to copy his Bible in your conscience, and write a new book of his doctrine in your hearts.”

Supernatural Upgrade
We are living in an time of a major acceleration in technology. People want to have the latest and fastest computers, cell phones and HD TV's. As soon as a new product comes along, people will look for the latest upgrade. Some have even waited on lines for countless hours to buy the latest gadgets. In the Spirit realm the Holy Spirit is releasing an acceleration that far supersedes all man made devices. He wants to take us out of the place of complacency and bring us into the place of authority. He wants to take our minds off the natural realm, and bring us into the the supernatural realm.
He wants to use every one of us to advance His kingdom. He showed me an adult riding a tricycle. Many of you have outgrown the place that you are in spiritually, but you don't realize it. You have become comfortable in your walk with the Lord, but there is a greater level that He wants to bring you into. It is time for a supernatural upgrade.
The Lord says; I am inviting those of you who have been spiritually dormant to come up to a higher place. I have greater things for you to accomplish. Don't look to man for revelation. Don't idolize those who have great gifts because I desire to use you in a greater way. By staying idle you are delaying yourself from the plans and purposes that I have ordained for you. My plan is to take you out of idle mode, and release you into fast forward. This is the season to move forward to fulfill My plans and purposes. Just as Joshua and Caleb went forth with great faith and determination, I have given you power and authority to rise up and take the land. I am calling Lazarus to come out from among the dead, throw off his grave clothes and walk in his destiny. Shake off the mediocrity and come in to the fullness of what I have for you.
Don't allow unbelievers to discourage you with their words of doubt. Don't allow sinners to entice you into their foolish ways. Take no offense when you are confronted with the views and opinions of others, but recognize who I have created you to be. Never compromise who you are and what you believe in, but take a stand for righteousness at all times. It is time for My people to let their voices to be heard. As My light is exposed, the darkness will instantly lose its power. Do not be concerned about your reputation and do not fear the spirit of anti-Christ because you were called with a purpose and you have been called to greatness. I am looking for yielded vessels who will walk in humility, submit to My leading, and live a life of boldness as well as holiness. As you humble yourselves before Me, and seek Me in intimacy, you will be amazed at what I will do with your life in the days ahead says the Lord.
Numbers 13: 33
There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Hebrews 5: 14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

THE SEASON OF TRAVAIL: Blow the trumpet in Zion!


My Beloved ones, It is time to travail for my Kingdom to manifest fully on the Earth. I am bringing forth a season of great travail to manifest in my own ones that will hear my heartbeat. They will hear my voice in the wee hours of the morning or even at midday. They will come and allow me to pray through them like never before overtime I call.

Young and old alike will hear my voice. I am awakening in them for such a time as this. The youth will be awakened and cry out to me in the middle of their sleep. They will hear me in their school yards and begin to cry out to me in travail for me to come,  and I will pour my spirit out upon all flesh.They will see my Glory! It is time!

It is time my love to put away the small things that seem so big in your life. It is time to understand the moment you are living in. Everything is about to change and that change is coming more rapidly then you are ready for. You will not be ready if you don’t allow me to travail in you and through you. For when you know not what to pray, my Spirit will pray through you with groaning and utterances.

My Servant Paul wrote this to the Roman Christians: “So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.”

27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will. (Romans 8:26-27)


This is my launching pad to take you higher in me. I must take you deeper into my heart so you can understand the things that are coming hereafter. Through travail the eyes of your understanding shall be enlightened. The ears of your Spirit will be sensitive to my whispers.

Through groaning and travail will I give you strategies and wisdom beyond human intelligence. Through travail will I reveal to you the secrets and the mysteries of my Kingdom needed for this hour. Through travail you will walk in the invisible dimension of my glory as it will be truly seen upon you.

Beloveds, I don’t want you caught unprepared, and I don’t want this day to come upon you like a thief in the night. I want you ready, prepared, armed and positioned for my purposes to be revealed upon the Earth. It is time for you to travail

It is time in the nation to do what I told the prophet Joel to the children of Israel. It is time to truly travail and seek my face. Hear my servant Joel:

12 Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

13 Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].

14 Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence [of evil], and leave a blessing behind Him [giving you the means with which to serve Him], even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God?

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly.

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from the humiliation.]

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the [heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people. (Joel 2:12-18)


Yes, do you hear the trumpet sound? It is time to travail in your hearts. It is time to come to me not just with a request or a petition, but to come to me WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH FASTING, WITH WEEPING, AND WITH MORNING FOR THIS NATION, FOR THE CHURCH IN THIS NATION UNTIL EVERY HINDRANCE IS REMOVED AND THE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN US IS RESTORED.

For many of you are blaming the state of this nation on the politicians, but you have not seen I have given you a government that you wanted. I gave you one like I did with Israel when they wanted an earthly king instead of me as their king.

So I gave them a king like what was in their own hearts, yet they would not repent. So I chose a King for myself. A shepherd boy to lead my people.A man after my own heart. Why have you deserted me my people? Why have you abandoned me your first love. Why do you put your faith in the eloquence of world leaders and church leaders who speak large words but inside our whitewashed tombs?

Should you have not come to ME? You should have said like my servant David, “Search me Oh God and try my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in you. For my people in this land want all I have but also the world has to offer so they are lukewarm and have fallen far from my presence. They have resisted the work of my Holy Spirit Baptism of fire that would have purified their hearts and nature. They traded the Glory of their God for gifts and the blessings of the Lord alone.

How long will it take to get your attention? I am blowing my trumpet in Zion this day. I am sounding an alarm in my Holy Mountain. Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? He that has clean hands and pure hearts.

Let the intercessors arise. Let the watchman get back on the wall. Let the scribes take up their place. Let the singers and musicians make their music of travail. For this is the time to diligently seek Me. This is the time you must put away all the childish things and seek my face like never before. You must not cry out for the politicians, but you must cry out for yourselves to REPENT and MAKE THE CROOKED WAYS STRAIGHT IN YOUR HEARTS.

You must rend your hearts and not your garments and you must come to me with the utmost seriousness and abandonment  of heart. You must come with fasting, weeping, and prayer and cry out to me: HAVE PITY ON YOUR PEOPLE OH LORD, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU!OH LORD DO NOT GIVE YOUR INHERITANCE TO REPROACH! THE NATIONS MUST NEVER SAY OF US, WHERE IS YOUR GOD? FOR I AM YOUR GOD THE I AM THAT IAM.

Who will hear the cry to come up here with me? Who will rend their hearts because of the condition of my people in this nation? Who will come and keep on coming to me with fasting and weeping until every hindrance of broken fellowship is removed

It will take this type of commitment to bring the deliverance you surely need. Who will hear my call to seek me? Who will humble themselves in the sight of the Lord? Who will be my people called by name that will humble themselves, seek my face and pray and turn from their evil ways so I can hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.

It is not to late for you in the nation, but the clock is ticking, ticking and ticking and time is to short to wait any longer. Blow the trumpet in Zion. It is a time to travail. It is time to allow my spirit to travail through you to tear down the plans and strategies of the enemy.

Only this type of radical seeking me, hearing me, following me and allowing me to lead you to battle will change the tide of this nation. There is no other way. There is no other plan accept me uttering my voice before my army and my army following me into battle.

Your ways will never work. Political ways will never work. Religious ways will never work, ONLY MY WAYS WORK and you must must know MY WAYS, if you are going to stand and overcome in the hour that is now upon you. So it is time to travail. It is time to rend your hearts and not your garments. It is time for the INTERCESSION OF HEAVEN TO CHANGE THE EARTH!

It is time through travail that I will raise up My STANDARD UPON THE EARTH!  “So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” (Is 59:19)

Will you hear my call to come? Will you hear my call to come up here, so I can show you the things hereafter? Will you allow my Spirit to work the deepest brokenness and humility to cry out for this nation?

Will you see the sin that is in my house and cry out to me in true repentance for deserting me your first love? Will you cry out to me because of the compromise in my house? Will you see your own true spiritual condition and rend your hearts and not your garments.

I want to bring healing and restoration to this nation, but it will never be on your terms. Even now, I can turn the tide of this nation from being overrun by the enemy to become a lighthouse again filled with the Glory and true knowledge of the Lord?

But who will hear me? Who will cry out to me in travail? Who will understand that is not by might, nor by power, but by Spirit says the Lord. The time of travail is here. Who will hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you in this moment? Selah!

Plumb - Lord I'm Ready Now (Official Lyric Video)

Monday, October 20, 2014

8At last Daniel came in before me, and I told him the dream. (He was named Belteshazzar after my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)
9“I said to him, ‘Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too great for you to solve. Now tell me what my dream means.
10“‘While I was lying in my bed, this is what I dreamed. I saw a large tree in the middle of the earth. 11The tree grew very tall and strong, reaching high into the heavens for all the world to see. 12It had fresh green leaves, and it was loaded with fruit for all to eat. Wild animals lived in its shade, and birds nested in its branches. All the world was fed from this tree.
13“‘Then as I lay there dreaming, I saw a messenger,d a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14The messenger shouted,
“Cut down the tree and lop off its branches!
Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit!
Chase the wild animals from its shade
and the birds from its branches.
15But leave the stump and the roots in the ground,
bound with a band of iron and bronze
and surrounded by tender grass.
Now let him be drenched with the dew of heaven,
and let him live with the wild animals among the plants of the field.
16For seven periods of time,
let him have the mind of a wild animal
instead of the mind of a human.
17For this has been decreed by the messengerse;
it is commanded by the holy ones,
so that everyone may know
that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world.
He gives them to anyone he chooses—
even to the lowliest of people.”
18“‘Belteshazzar, that was the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now tell me what it means, for none of the wise men of my kingdom can do so. But you can tell me because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.’
Daniel Explains the Dream
19“Upon hearing this, Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar) was overcome for a time, frightened by the meaning of the dream. Then the king said to him, ‘Belteshazzar, don’t be alarmed by the dream and what it means.’
“Belteshazzar replied, ‘I wish the events foreshadowed in this dream would happen to your enemies, my lord, and not to you! 20The tree you saw was growing very tall and strong, reaching high into the heavens for all the world to see. 21It had fresh green leaves and was loaded with fruit for all to eat. Wild animals lived in its shade, and birds nested in its branches. 22That tree, Your Majesty, is you. For you have grown strong and great; your greatness reaches up to heaven, and your rule to the ends of the earth.
23“‘Then you saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, “Cut down the tree and destroy it. But leave the stump and the roots in the ground, bound with a band of iron and bronze and surrounded by tender grass. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven. Let him live with the animals of the field for seven periods of time.”
24“‘This is what the dream means, Your Majesty, and what the Most High has declared will happen to my lord the king. 25You will be driven from human society, and you will live in the fields with the wild animals. You will eat grass like a cow, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven periods of time will pass while you live this way, until you learn that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world and gives them to anyone he chooses. 26But the stump and roots of the tree were left in the ground. This means that you will receive your kingdom back again when you have learned that heaven rules.
27“‘King Nebuchadnezzar, please accept my advice. Stop sinning and do what is right. Break from your wicked past and be merciful to the poor. Perhaps then you will continue to prosper.’
The Dream’s Fulfillment
28“But all these things did happen to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29Twelve months later he was taking a walk on the flat roof of the royal palace in Babylon. 30As he looked out across the city, he said, ‘Look at this great city of Babylon! By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city as my royal residence to display my majestic splendor.’
31“While these words were still in his mouth, a voice called down from heaven, ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you! You are no longer ruler of this kingdom. 32You will be driven from human society. You will live in the fields with the wild animals, and you will eat grass like a cow. Seven periods of time will pass while you live this way, until you learn that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world and gives them to anyone he chooses.’
33“That same hour the judgment was fulfilled, and Nebuchadnezzar was driven from human society. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven. He lived this way until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers and his nails were like birds’ claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34“After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.
His rule is everlasting,
and his kingdom is eternal.
35All the people of the earth
are nothing compared to him.
He does as he pleases
among the angels of heaven
and among the people of the earth.
No one can stop him or say to him,
‘What do you mean by doing these things?’
36“When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before.
37“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”

Keep, keep, keep
Keep pushing this higher, oh

(Take it easy right now)
Like a moth to the fire, oh

We don't care who hears us now
Breathe it in and let it out, oh
Let it out, oh
(Breathe it in and) let it out, oh

Got, got, got
Got me walking on a wire, oh
Got me shaking at night

We are scarred and torn
We've been scared to sing out loud
But we don't care no more
'Cause we know life is short
We don't care who hears us now
Breathe it in and let it out, oh
Let it out, oh

Are you holding on?
Are you up against those ropes?
'Cause I know how it feels to lose hope
Are you holding in?
Well come on, let it out, oh (take it easy)
Take a breath and let it out
(Take a breath and let it out)
From the day we're born
We are scarred and torn
We've been scared to sing out loud
But we don't care no more
'Cause we know life is short
We don't care who hears us now
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it out, oh
Let it out, oh
Yeah, c'mon, let it out,
Let it out, oh
Let it out, oh
Breathe it in and let it out, oh
Oh, oh, oh

"He Is Awesome" Teaching Video by Ray Hughes w/ Worship Leader Kim Walke...


We are sleeping in dangerous times – WAKE UP, WAKE UP!


We are sleeping in dangerous times!!
WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!!

It is time for the church to awaken from complacency and slumber! It is time to prepare, just as this word says.

I HEAR GOD SAYING THIS IS A TIME FOR A ” DEEP SOUL CRY,” A TIME OF TRANSFORMATION, A TIME OF CHANGE, A TIME TO SET OUR!   HOUSE IN ORDER; a time of GREAT cleansing, purifying, unifying and making ready the bride of Christ to rise up and be glorious in the earth. It will be a season of VISITATION from THE LORD and being prepared for His great end-time work — to bring in the HARVEST of souls — as well as for THE RETURN of CHRIST!

I HEAR GOD SAYING THAT There is coming a GREAT Visitation to the earth that eyes have not seen nor have ears heard! I DECREE AND DECLARE IT IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! I HEAR GOD SAYING FOR ALL THOSE WHO WILL SEEK THE LORD TO OFFER UP THEIR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE TO GOD WHICH HIS REASONABLE SERVICE THEY WILL BE APART OF THIS GREAT MOVE! (Romans 12:1).   GOD IS SAYING IF MY PEOPLE WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WOULD HUMBLE THEMSELVES, GET ON (ONE ACCORD) PRAY AND SEEK HIS FACE YOU WILL (2 Chronicles 7:14) SEE:

◾A Great Visitation by My Spirit in Local/Universal Assemblies (churches)



◾A visitation such as the earth has not seen or heard (revival through out the land)



◾He will move in unprecedented ways! (Miracles/healing)



◾He will visit our house (children/love ones saved)



◾He will visit the White House



◾He will visit your house, oh man/woman of God (daily add to the church and such shall be saved)


AWAKE! AWAKE! MY BRIDE AND PREPARE FOR THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH! For he will come with GREAT power, and I will cleanse and I will purify in this hour and he will separate the precious from the vile, GOD will REMOVE all things from His house (church) that defile and MAKETH a LIE!

He will, He will says the Spirit of God, God will fulfill all HIS will in the earth, and in HIS church, all HIS plans shall succeed.

I will have a glorious church, and she will RISE UP and do GREAT wonders in the earth!

“Man has made his plans, but it is My purposes and plans that shall PREVAIL SAITH THE LORD” I SEE A TRAIN, THIS TRAIN IS MOVING AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND IT IS HIGH AND LIFTED UP; EITHER GET ON BOARD OR GET OUT OF THE WAY SAITH THE LORD!

Rise up, rise up and take (what has God called you to do?) your place! Rise up and seek My face!

It is a day of visitation so prepare, rise up and come to the Holy Place!

It’s time to cast aside EVERY weight and sin that would hold you back and so easily beset you!!! (Hebrews 12:1).

Remove every impure and unclean thing before your lips, ears, and eyes; The enemy has sent them for your destruction and demise.

“ARISE/AWAKE, oh man/woman of God, it is your day of visitation.
God is saying BE YE HOLY fOR I AM HOLY SAITH THE LORD! (1Peter 1:16)

Prayer:

LORD JESUS HELP US TO BE READY AND DON’T LET US BE CAUGHT WITH OUR WORK UNDONE!   BUT LORD, HELP US TO ARISE/TO AWAKE AND FOR YOU TO HELP US TO GET OUR HOUSE READY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL AS THE UNRIGHTEOUS AND AS FILTHY RAGS IN YOUR PRESENCE OH LORD! Isaiah 6:1-13.



~ Prophetess Geraldine Fisher
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones”   Proverbs 3:6-8.

“What are you feeding on these days? For many of you have become like skeletons. For your bones need marrow from My life-giving Spirit. How can you live this life for Me without the proper nourishment for your spirits?

How can you go through this life without feeding on the right things? How can you wage war with the enemy if you are not clothed in My robes?

For I see an army, says The Lord; and they have their swords drawn, but they can’t hold them up because there is no marrow in their bones. Raise your swords towards heaven, and feed on Me, says The Lord, and see if I will not add flesh to your bones. I can add tendons and muscles to your frame.

All soldiers need to be fed properly so that they can fight in their battles. And all soldiers need to know when to rest. So, put your swords down, and eat at my banqueting table. There you will find the choicest fruits. There you will find the best meats for your journey. For you need more than milk these days. You need the strong meat of my word. Then you will go onto maturity.”

Returning To Love
By Ron McGatlin
The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. If I am experiencing something else such as strife, frustration, or depression, there is something else at work. Jesus brings freedom; it is someone else that brings bondage. The love of God produces in us His righteous way of being and doing, His peace that passes natural understanding, and His joy full of glory that is not tied to natural circumstances.
God resists the proud but gives more grace to the humble. Often adversity and our failures are used of God to bring us into a place of pure love and humility. Real love and humility are always worth all we went through to get there. Pure love from God and for God brings us to a brokenness of humility and a love for everyone, including those who act as enemies toward us. Real love for those who persecute us or spitefully use us is a part of the kingdom of God lifestyle.
Mat 43-44: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.
It is easy to get so busy seeking to carry out the call of God that we lose contact with the intimate love life with God in our own lives. While seeking to help others out of religious bondages, we can be again entangled in bondage ourselves. Our intimate love relationship can be sacrificed in the complexity of trying to bring freedom to God’s people entangled under religious order of the passing church systems of hierarchical order of rule.
We must come back to the pure love of God expressed in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. The real kingdom of God is love in action. It is established by love, operates by love, and is held together by love. Without the love of God there is no kingdom of Heaven on earth. Most of us reading this know these things. Yet, it is possible to connect into religious systems seeking to bring a new order of love and one day awaken to realize that we have begun to act and react in opposition to the existing systems and actually become part of the thing we sought to change.
This is somewhat like law enforcement officers dealing with underworld criminal activities so long that they drift into the same types of practices. They may begin to use illegal or at least immoral methods to accomplish the enforcing of the law. Crooked or abusive policemen are often a product of their environmental influence over a period of time.
Paul wrote in Galatians 6:1:  Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
Galatians 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
For me it is time to return to walking in the pure love of oneness with Christ and lay aside all else, to live in and demonstrate to others the pure love life of the kingdom of heaven on earth. Jesus did not first teach and preach the kingdom. He demonstrated it in love and power first and then taught the disciples who were ready to hear and understand. First demonstrate the kingdom, and then preach and teach the kingdom of God.
Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

Humble Yourself - Kelly Willard

Kelly Willard Willing Heart

The Hand of the Lord

By: Bobby Conner
October 3, 2014

In a startling prophetic experience, the Lord said, " I have a message for the Church!" The message is: - "Brace yourself in the Spirit of Humility! The hand of the Lord is coming down upon the Church."

I said "Lord!" that sounds threatening, He replied in a positive tone "It is!" The best thing is to be corrected, and the course set straight!

THE HAND OF THE LORD

The hand of the Lord deals with His Divine Government. His hand will come down and commence to shake down everything He has not built. The hand of the Lord also speaks of the functioning fivefold ministry flowing together.

The Word of God declares:
"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."
Psalm 127:1

The writer of the book of Hebrews warns us concerning this upcoming shaking:

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom, which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:25-29

God Is Going To Deal With Our Foundation

God Will Demolish Man’s Self-glorifying Efforts.

God is revealing and shaking down every work that is not of HIM. The example of how He dealt with the tower of Babel is a warning for all who attempt to build a name for themselves.

In Genesis 11:1-9:

Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly."

They had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar. And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."

But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

God is again destroying every effort of mankind to build a name for themselves and attempting to get to heaven without God. This coming judgment of God will deal with fruit as well as foundation.

The Refiner’s fire will only serve to purify and make more precious the true faith. (See Malachi 3:1-3)

The Tower of Babel was an ancient tower symbolizing man's pride and rebellion that was built during the period after the flood. The teachings are many for us in this display of God’s disapproval of our efforts to seek a name and a place for ourselves apart from the Spirit of God. We must remember salvation is from the Lord, man cannot work his way into the kingdom of God. (See Eph. 2:8-10) also (Titus 3:5-7)

Brick In The Place Of Stone- Bricks Speaks of the work of man.

The tower was constructed of brick. Brick is always the type of man’s labors and man’s work. Man builds with brick because they are all formed alike, uniformity is not a substitute for true unity, however bricks are an inferior substitute for stone. (See Is. 9:10)

No matter how big a tower we build it is nothing for God to shake down. To men the tower is an architectural monument Deut. 1:28, but to God it is so small that He must come down from heaven to catch a glimpse of this tiny endeavor. The construction of the tower and city is described as an act of self-glorification by the builders. Mankind continuously plays the role of a fool when he attempts to seek for his own protection, attempting to be his own salvation. It is a mistake to seek salvation and help from any source except God. (See Proverbs 14:12, and Acts 4:12)

OUR FOUNDATION IS FUNDAMENTAL

Foundation is the strong, stable base on which a building is built. Jesus spoke very powerful about foundations in the Sermon on the Mount, teaching that believers should build their faith on the strong, solid foundation of obeying His Word. The apostle Paul also referred to Christ as a foundation for believers (see 1 Cor. 3:11). The Prophet Isaiah reveals how precious and powerful Christ Jesus is in Isa 28:16 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will not act hastily.

In this vision I was told that we must examine the foundation to make sure it was solid. It is crucial that we have the correct foundation. Hear the warning of Jesus Christ spoken in:

Matthew 7:20-27:

"Therefore by their fruits you will know them. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. "Now everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

Notice Jesus was inspecting the foundation not just the deeds being done. This is a strong warning, against just trusting in what one does as evidence that they are right with God.

EXAMINATION TIME

It is time for some very close investigation and examinations. Hear these instructions found in 2 Cor. 13:5 "Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified". It is time to ask the Spirit of God to turn on the searchlight and expose everything false and fake in our life.

The only sure foundation is the Word of God. Paul writes in:

1 Cor. 3:11-15: For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

The fire of God’s judgment will only work the work of purifying if our foundation is correct and will only prove what we have built.

THE SURE SOLID FOUNDATION

Jesus Christ is the only true Cornerstone and Foundation.
Ps. 118:22-23:

The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

This was the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builder together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY

This coming Government of God’s hand will be the functioning five fold ministry spoken of in Paul’s letter to the Church at Ephesus in Eph. 4:11-14: And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

We are experiencing the unfolding of the promised five-fold ministry. Thank God for how the Spirit of God is releasing understanding about the roles and responsibilities of these ministries. God is bringing about a team ministry that will prepare the Saints for the work of service. The Christian life was never intended to be something we observed someone else doing. It is time to be actively serving Jesus.

THE PROPER POSTURE AND POSITION

In response to the warning of "brace yourself”, I questioned "Lord! How can we be ready for the hand of God?" He said only in the place of true humility. It is time to get honest and humble before the Lord. We have been brought to a place of real repentance. It is a broken and contrite heart that touches the heart of God. (See Psalms 51:17)

May God grant us the grace to fall upon the Rock in true humility. Asking God to prune us and cut away from our lives anything that would keep us from being fruitful for the Kingdom of God. We welcome this coming shaking in order to deal with any deception. Remember it is only on Christ the Solid Rock we can stand, all else is sinking sand.
(Amen!)
