SPEAKING TO YOUR DESTINY by Bill & Marsha Burns 11/12 on: Today at 06:50:24am
Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin

The Trumpet by Bill Burns -- November 12, 2007: I call My house into its destiny, into the fullness of My Spirit and life in this the end of the age. I am building My house on the mountain tops, where My word shall flow forth and impact the nations. I speak to your destiny of strength and health and call it forth, for it shall be such as in the days of Moses when he brought My people out of Egypt and there was none feeble among them. I call forth the prophetic voices that I am raising up -- those voices that have been hindered by the enemy's work. For indeed I have said you are My eagles, My prophetic ones, and it is now time to arise. It is time to prophesy over your circumstances to proclaim the victory. It is time to become so one with the Word that you are My representatives, says the Lord.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns - - November 12, 2007: Beloved, do not be afraid, nor enter the days ahead with fear or a sense of trepidation. I will give you wisdom and direct your steps. In the not-too-distant future you will look back at this time as absolutely supernatural, and you will know that your God has been with you. Let Me lead you, for surely I have gone before you to make a way even against impossible odds. Trust Me, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."


2 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / STUBBORN by Ras Robinson 11/12 on: Today at 06:43:06am


by Ras Robinson
November 12, 2007 Stubborn. This is a warning to you. Heed My word and avoid much pain and discipline in your future. I speak today to all those who are hard and difficult for Me for me to deal with and lead. Don't be among those who are unwilling to submit, bullheaded, closed-minded, headstrong and stiff-necked. Yet they want to be treated as My treasured possession. May I suggest that you be like Moses, who when faced with this same issue of stubbornness on the part of My people, quickly bowed low towards the earth and worshiped Me. He then asked forgiveness for himself and the people. Will you also repent of your stubbornness? Stubborn.

Exodus 34:8-9 "Moses made haste to bow low toward the earth and worship. He said, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though the people are so obstinate (stubborn), and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession."

November 12, 2007



Dear beloved, I want you to know that I am longing for you to join Me in your heavenly home. I have a place that I believe you will find delightful, prepared just for you. Nothing on earth compares to what I have for you, dear one, nothing.



So know this day that your God is eager for you to come to your heavenly home where I have prepared a place just for you, and it is My delight to look forward to that day, that hour, when you will be here with Me, snug and contented, snug and contented in that place of wonder that I have prepared for those who wish to love and serve Me.

/ PROPHETIC WORDS by Katie Jordan, Jeff Rodrick 11/12 on: Today at 07:17:41am
Prophetic Word by Katie Jordan, followed by an accompanied word from Jeff Rodrick Nov. 9, 2007

Oh My beloved people, I cry out to you. I would shake you until you are wide awake and completely alert. For decades you have been warned of these times that are now upon you. My Word tells you of a gross darkness that is coming over the whole earth, and most especially your nation. I have warned you of a flood of evil and of great deception. Do you not even now see and feel this awful darkness and this great evil? ARE YOU MINE OR HAVE YOU BEEN DECEIVED?


Lift yourselves up, stand straight, keep your eyes on Me and allow Me to make clear to you the veil of deception surrounding you. You are literally immersed in deception. Most of what you hear is false and most of what you read is false. READ MY WORD!! UNDERSTAND AND OBEY MY WORD!! The prince of this world has buried you in great deception. Never forget that he is a liar and has been since the beginning. He has drawn you to worldly desires and offered you more and more worldly things just as he did Me. HAVE YOU ACCEPTED HIM AND HIS WORLDLY PLAY THINGS?


Great disaster is about to rain down upon you from many angles and many different places. You will not know where to turn but you must remember that I AM YOUR ONLY SAFETY. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME AND KEEP YOUR HAND IN MINE AND STAY UNDER THE WINGS OF THE ALMIGHTY.


Again and again I have told you these things but many of you refuse to listen and refuse to obey. DO NOT ALLOW THE ENEMY TO DRAW YOUR EYES AWAY FROM ME. He will use all of his evil wiles to turn you away from Me. HOLD TIGHTLY TO ME NOW AS THE WORLD GROWS BLACK ALL AROUND YOU. MY LIGHT IS THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WILL NEVER GO OUT AND MY LOVE IS THE ONLY LOVE THAT WILL NEVER GROW COLD.


YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, AND ONLY I AM ABLE TO KEEP YOU THROUGH ALL ETERNITY.

2 Cor. 6:16-18

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty

Oh my people, I come to you this very day and hour in hope and love that you will take heed to what I am saying. The words that my prophets write are they not mine saith the Lord? I have dealt out the measure of my spirit upon my handmaidens and bondservants to proclaim unto you time and again of the importance of separating from this present evil world and to take heed to build a sanctuary in the spirit to draw nigh unto me, so that I may draw nigh unto you. Hearken, I plead. Hearken, this is not the words of a man, but as it is in truth the spirit of the Lord your God whom doth speak. Whosoever will hearken shall be a wise man. For can you not plainly hear me speak saith the Lord? Can ye not hear my voice in this my word? And if so be that you hear and understand, then take heed thereunto.

For there is a great dearth that is coming and to sweep the nations. Oh America, the first to feel the bleatings, what will you do in the day of your calamity if you have not heeded my voice? What will you do if you have not hearkened to sound counsel, to separate yourself from this world and to draw nigh unto me? What will you do?

For I say unto you before the presence of my Father, that there will no flesh be saved that shall not feel the brunt of war or famine in the coming years ahead. Prepare ye, Prepare ye. Hear ye the trumpets. Hear ye the trumpets of my prophets. Take heed to yourselves.

And ye say unto yourselves, we will take heed. We see the necessity of the times, but you do not take heed. And if you do it is in a halfhearted manner. You must my children, come to me with your WHOLE heart. The time is late and there is still sufficient time to prepare a tabernacle in the midst of your heart. How does one prepare that tabernacle? By reading my word and meditating thereon, and by seeking my face in intimacy through prayer and faith.

Turn your feet from evil, and gain understanding. Refrain yourself from self fulfilled agendas and motives. SEEk ME . Seek my will for your lives. You say to me and you wear necklaces that say, what would Jesus Do? I say unto you I, Jesus would maintain my stance before the Lord throughout the day and unto the night. I would rise every day and set my face towards my God. I would wait at his feet to obtain any and all things from his hand. Instruction on what to wear, where to go, when to go and what to say. I would seek my God as my only sufficiency in life. I would set my face to understand, not by my own reasonings, but by the word that the Father would give me. I would not move nor act save it be from the Father's command. My speech would be set around the orbit of the spirit. For the spirit shall speak and not of myself. This is what I would do, this is what Jesus would do, saith the Lord.

Come out! Come out from among them and be ye separate. Draw nigh unto me, and I will draw nigh unto you. Take heed to what I speak, the time is near where all mankind, will see and know that my prophets have spoken truth. Let the time not fall upon you unprepared.

So ends the words of our Lord. Jeff Rodrick Heart-Life Ministries

2 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / DOUBLE by Priscilla Van Sutphin 11/12 on: Today at 07:15:19am
Job 42:10-17 AMP

And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. [Deut 30:1-3; Ps 126:1,2.] 11 Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they sympathized with him and comforted him over all the [distressing] calamities that the Lord had brought upon him. Every man also gave him a piece of money, and every man an earring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. [Job 1:3.] 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.15 And in all the land there were no women so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.16 After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his sons' sons, even to four generations.17 So Job died, an old man and full of days. [James 5:11.]

Tonight on the news AGAIN was the story of the Coble family here in Orange County who lost their 3 children in an accident where a huge big rig rammed into the mini van the mom was driving. All three children were killed, 5 yr old boy, and sisters 4 and 2 yrs. Six months later now the mom is pregnant with TRIPLETS, two girls and one boy !!!! Earlier in the week, felt it was prophetic and tonight felt the Lord dropped in understanding by this passage in Job. Felt He was saying what has been stolen will be restored DOUBLE as it was with Job. I know Joy sent me photos this week of double rainbows, and Rhonda has been shown the same.



In Isaiah it says: Isa 61:7 NKJV
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double ;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

Isa 61:7 NKJV Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double ;



2 Kings 2:9-10 NKJV And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." 10 So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." [ God is the giver so Elijah couldn’t promise for sure ]



Yesterday I kept seeing doubles. I was getting double emails in my box. I made eggs and there was a double-yolk egg. At dinner when Sally took me out, they had a photo of double hamburgers. It was 3/22/27 when I kept seeing doubles so in there is also a triple - 222.



Note the time I looked at the clock when I sensed the Lord wanting to speak to me :

So I heard the still small voice…



“ Does it not say that I will restore DOUBLE ? Does it not say I will also render DOUBLE to the wicked ? There will be double grace for those who say YES to Me. There will be DOUBLE rewards for those who have persevered to OVERCOME. I DELIGHT IN THOSE WHO LOVE ME. I delight to give good gifts to My children, to My bride. I am a generous Lover, and I am not slack concerning all I have promised. I know you have waited such a long time, but all heaven has waited far longer to see what I will do in this hour. So persevere just a bit longer for it will be SO WORTH IT BELOVEDS ! Your heart will thrill with delight. You will be filled with JOY for all I do in this hour.



The enemy is restless, and trying so hard to trip up My children one way or another to steal what I have intended. Keep on beloveds, for you have not yet suffered unto death, yet many of My children have suffered unto death and given their lives. What you have suffered is nothing compared to many nations. I WILL MAKE YOU STRONG LIKE MY HORSE IN BATTLE. [ Zech 10] I will not neglect to perfect all that I want in you ! I will restore to Myself a spotless bride. All the pain is worth the GAIN. DOUBLE PORTION awaits all who will call on My name.



Know also that double judgment will come down on the wicked who refuse to come to Me ! Those whose hearts have become hardened and calloused, and unpliable, stubborn and unwilling will be putty in My hands, for I will do a startling thing in this hour. There will be no excuse for not turning to Me. Signs and wonders will be as never before beloveds. YOU will be walking signs and wonders, many of you ! Though you have been downtrodden and afflicted, I have redeemed you from the curse, and I have conquered DEATH. So look UP, for Your Redemption draws nigh. I am coming to bring down every mountain, to elevate every valley. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I AM the God of JESHURUN, and I am seeking all who will bend to My will to follow after ME.



Do not rely on things. Do not rely on other men and women. Do not RELY on this world, but RELY ON MY INTERVENTION. RELY ON MY LOVE, MY PEACE, MY POWER, MY INSTRUCTION, MY WISDOM, MY UNDERSTANDING, MY COMPASSION, MY PATIENCE. I AM YOUR RESOURCE REMEMBER ? YOU ARE NOT TO BE SELF CONFIDENT, OR SELF SUFFICIENT, BUT SUFFICIENT IN MY GRACE , MY POWER. RELY ON ME, and you have NOTHING to fear.



It is a time of hiddeness and communion with ME. Come, Come, Come and let me teach you great and awesome things which you do not know. For I am Your loving Father, and I long to share My heart with you beloveds. My heart is ever toward you. Jesus is ever interceding on your behalf. You have a KING in your midst. DO NOT COWER in the corner. STAND up and be counted ! STAND UP and PROCLAIM MY PROMISES. STAND UP and DECLARE MY GLORY. MY POWER is greater within you than you think or imagine. The time for HEALING has come. I AM ARISING. The enemy knows and seeks to kill whom he can. The BLOOD protects you. THE BLOOD has washed away your sins. So do not give in to condemnation. You have a way unknown to anyone other than blood washed believers in through the veil. There is no shame that can cling to you when you come honestly before ME, surrendering to ME.



Turmoil will arise in the east and within your borders America. You MUST LEARN TO DEPEND ON ME. I ALONE am the PERFECT ONE. I alone can defeat the enemy within your borders. So PRAY with confidence for those who are among you to be saved. PRAY for your enemies. Ask ME for LOVE to love them with. ASK ME for who to speak to, and who not. If I am FOR you, who can be against you ? If I walk with you, as I do, then what have you to be afraid of ? TRUST in ME with all of your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding. DESTINY is at the DOOR ! “



My thoughts then went to the young man I know down the block who was confronted by two chollo’s while praying for someone , at gunpoint. But when he raised his head and opened his eyes and they looked into his eyes, FEAR came on them and they RAN off. He’s in his early 20’s, with an apostolic call on his life. God is already teaching him that HE has conquered death, so that he will not fear anything. Be encouraged by these scriptures…

3 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / VETERAN'S DAY PRAYER by Tommy Hays 11/12 on: Today at 07:12:55am
Veterans' Day Prayer
Tommy Hays
Nov 12 2007 05:27AM



Morning by Morning, Monday 11-12-07 -- Veterans' Day Prayer



Good morning, Lord Jesus. Almighty Warrior God, Commander of the Armies of Heaven, great and awesome are You and holy is Your name (Revelation 19:11-16). ...



"Remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your kin, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes" (Nehemiah 4:14).



This day in my country, we honor the men and women who bravely take up the sword to fight injustice and secure our freedom. There is "a time for war and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:. There are times to beat our swords into plowshares and walk in peace (Isaiah 2:4). But there are also times to beat our plowshares into swords to establish peace (Joel 3:10). Some say "What would Jesus do?" and assume the answer is that You would never fight and never condone war. But those who say You always turn the other check and never take a stand to fight have not really read Your Word or else choose to ignore It. The Lamb of God is also the Lion of Judah, "called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war" (Revelation 19:11).



One day wars will cease and You will "command peace to the nations" (Zechariah 9:10). But until that day, there are times You say, "I will arouse your sons ... and wield you like a warrior's sword" (v. 13). Thank You for those who willingly commit their lives to be a warrior's sword in Your hand. Give them and their commanders the humility to seek You on their knees and the courage to fight for You on their feet. Together as a nation, let us be brave when our wars are just and repentant when they are not. But let us also always honor those who have counted the cost, but still answer the call, to be willing to lay down their lives for us. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.



Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

Manna ~ The Perfect Blood
Nov 12 2007 05:27AM


“. . . through His own blood,
He entered the holy place once for all,
having obtained eternal redemption."

Hebrews 9:12


By that final and perfect Blood Sacrifice,
His Blood wiped out and covered
the blood of all the guilty Cains -
of every murdering thought
and countless bloody deeds
that stain the soil of earth.

It is far too incredible to be comprehended!

He shed His own holy blood and
declared His murderers - all of us -
forgiven by His blood.

HEART CRY by Renae Forbes 11/12 on: Today at 07:29:44am
“Heart Cry”

By Renae Forbes



Search my heart, hear my cry

Hold me in your arms, let me fly.

Abba, You are my one desire -

To know You - to burn with holy fire.



You catch me when I fall

You hear me when I call.

Even in the dark of night,

I am still immersed in your light



I can never escape from your presence,

If I try to hide, your love is always near.

No need for me to run; even when I blow it,

You calm my heart and erase my fear.



Father, You sent me Jesus, He’s my brother -

He’s my friend,

You provided a way to be one with you,

My heart you did mend.



Because of Jesus’ great love for me and the price

That he paid,

He wants You and I to be one, as He is one with You -

This is the prayer he prayed.



My heart is yours, I surrender all

My heart is yours, I yield to your call.

A new commitment I do make today

Lead me and guide me, for You are the way.



2 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / WHEN TRUST IS ESTABLISHED, HEALING BEGINS by Francis Frangipane 11/12 on: Today at 07:26:59am
November 12, 2007

FRANCIS FRANGIPANE:

"When Trust is Established, Healing Begins"

"Trust is not an accident; it is the result of love that pays a price."

The Problem With Anger

Unresolved anger can consume a soul; it can become a literal hell not only for the embittered person, but for those who live with them as well. Thus, Jesus strongly warned of anger's terrible impact. He said,

"The ancients were told, 'You shall not commit murder' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell" Matthew 5:21-22.

Anger is a systemic poison: it affects every area of our existence. Not only can it destroy one's life on earth, it can make us "guilty enough to go into the fiery hell." Who among us has not known the wrestling in our minds over an offense? Who has never felt the unrelenting churning of wounded emotions or the self-destructive tension generated by anger?

For some, anger abides brooding, yet hidden, beneath a polite veneer. Like a vicious dog waiting behind the door of a nice home, so inner rage attacks without warning when anyone gets too close. Yet, as awful as anger is, the embittered person often feels anger is warranted in light of the threat of an offense. The worse evil, however, is the spirit of deception that justifies the angry soul, that presumes the anger of man is actually attaining the righteousness of God, thus imprisoning the embittered soul, isolating it from true repentance.

Jesus warns that unresolved anger is very grave. It threatens to drive the soul into hell; it is physically depleting, and the person carrying anger feels justified. According to Jesus, the angry person has, within his heart, committed a sin equal to murder. Anger is a very serious offense indeed.

Reconciliation is More Important than Ritual

If you know someone who is carrying unresolved anger toward you or someone else, Jesus tells us we are not to simply ignore their condition. In fact, He plainly tells us He expects us to do something about it. Remarkably, just after warning about anger's hellish consequences, in the very next two verses He says,

"If therefore you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering" Mathew 5:23-24.

Jesus requires us to actually leave our offering, exit the "church service," and do what we can to reconcile with our offended brother. To the Son of God, reconciliation is more important than fulfilling our religious service.

The Lord knows that if we do not engage in some process toward healing, our offended brother will transfer his anger to others. Hebrews 12:14-15 says, "Pursue peace with all men...See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled." One angry person not only jeopardizes their own soul, but their root of bitterness can spread and "many be defiled."

Thus, when the Church becomes a place of anger instead of redemption, it is not a little thing to the Lord. Indeed, Scripture says the final result is "many (are) defiled." Unresolved anger is actually a primary tool which satan uses to break down marriages, destroy families, splinter churches and divide cultures within a community.

The Lord calls His Church to reverse the curse of injustice and anger upon our society. We are Heaven's agents of transformation and reconciliation. In fact, the Lord calls us not only to go to the one who, for whatever reason, may be offended by us, but He desires we actually become ministers of reconciliation who inspire others to bring healing to every strata of human relationships.

Wounded In Pursuit Of Oneness

When I speak of healing the riff between people, I realize there are some people who are habitually offended. No matter what we do, they are irreconcilable. Perhaps, in time, they will be more open. Still, the Lord commands us, "So far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men" Romans 12:18. Hebrews calls us to "pursue peace with all men" Hebrews 12:14. According to Jesus Christ, if we remember someone has something against us, we are to actually leave our offering at the altar and go be reconciled with our brother (Matthew 5:24).

Our interpersonal relationships are a primary concern to the Lord. Remember, the issue is not limited to whether you have something against someone, but whether they have something against you. You may be completely innocent. The offended person may actually be the guilty party. But the Lord calls us to care about relationships. Indeed, it is amazing how often a simple phone call, an act of love or a gentle answer can soften the heart of an offended person.

The Bible says, "pursue peace with all men." Pursue means we aggressively take the initiative to make things right. It means we act on behalf of Heaven rather than allow another's anger to serve the purpose of hell.

However, we must be realistic. When we reach out to a deeply offended person, they will likely be repulsed by our first efforts. Scripture tells us, "A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, and contentions are like the bars of a castle" Proverbs 18:19. If a person has been hurt, they will need trust to be restored and this process of initiating trust can actually be painful to both parties. A wounded person may lash out. You may feel like the process of restoring the offended person is simply too great a price to pay.

Let me share an insight I recently received from the Lord about the basic nature of relationships and reconciliation. My wife and I were bird-sitting our oldest daughter's pet conure. A conure is about half the size of a parrot with similar coloring. However, this creature was hostile. Each time I'd touch the cage, it would squawk and try to bite me. After several initiatives at being nice, I concluded, "Who needs this? If I'm going to be attacked, I can be attacked at church." I made a silent evaluation that we had been given a "killer conure." Obviously, I concluded, this bird came from the wrong side of the tracks.

My wife, however, decided she was going to love this bird. Even though it was just as aggressive toward her as it was with me, my wife relentlessly kept loving the bird. Each time she fed it by hand, the bird attacked, taking chunks of skin with each bite. Denise would yell in pain, then instantly return to talking softly, reaching into the cage with food. After a week, the bird finally began to relax. Her survival instincts, based on my wife's gentle response to being attacked, convinced the bird that Denise was not a predator, but a friend. Soon, it permitted Denise to reach into its cage without attacking her. A couple days later, I discovered this aggressive little finger-eater perched lovingly upon my wife's shoulder, its little round head snuggled warmly against her neck, cooing in her ear.

Denise won the heart of this little bird: it loved, because she first loved it. You see, the problem with the bird was not aggression, but fear. My wife allowed herself to be wounded so that trust could be established; when wounded, she did not retaliate, and she won its trust. As I watched this little drama unfold, I saw something basic, yet profound, concerning God's relationship with us. Trust is not an accident; it is the result of love that pays a price.

Isn't this the way of the Lord with our own hearts? He came to us, yet we wounded Him. We crucified God's Son. Yet instead of retaliating, Jesus forgave us. He proved over and over again that His love was safe, that He is not our enemy. We expect judgment but receive mercy; we sin, yet He works to restore us to Himself. "It is His kindness," the Scriptures say, "that lead us to repentance" Romans 2:4. He repeatedly shows Himself trustworthy, merciful and loving, knowing that, in time, we will come to rest in His goodness. And as we do, we let Him reach into our cage; we climb upon His hand, and He carries us on His shoulder.

I recognized that this attitude, which I saw in my wife, was actually the Lord's heart. As He has been to us, so He wants us to be toward others, even those who are hostile and alienated from us. Trust must be established before love can heal. We must be willing to let ourselves be wounded, even repeatedly if necessary, in pursuit of healing relationships. We must prove, not just in word, but in deed, that we are trustworthy. Whether we face divisions in families, churches or between races, only when trust is established, can healing begin.

SOON TO BE UNCOVERED - THE HIDDEN
by Mary Lindow

SOON TO BE UNCOVERED… THE HIDDEN
MARY LINDOW

Hello Beloved Child of God,

As I write to you in this heartfelt prophetic message you will hear not only the insights and
exhortations that the Lord has given to me to share with you, but you will also hear
the plea of heaven's King for His people to become honest with themselves and
to examine the condition of their hearts, homes, and spheres of influence,
whether it be ministry or in the marketplace.

I feel that the following paragraphs are prophetically assigned for many of you who
are now in a place of great decision-making and transition. May the Lord speak clearly
to you as you read.

In His Shadow,
Mary Lindow



SOON TO BE UNCOVERED … THE HIDDEN
By MARY LINDOW

...And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet:
"Out of Egypt I called my son." (Matthew 2:15 fulfilling Hosea 11:1)

THE LORD IS CALLING A GENERATION OF "SON'S" (AND DAUGHTERS) UNTO HIMSELF
THAT WILL NOT EMBRACE THE "WAY OF EGYPT" but will be brought to a place of
humility and not fight for rank or heavy-handed authority.

NOT ONLY WILL THESE HIDDEN ONES BE UNCOVERED IN A SEASON ABOUT TO OCCUR IN
THE BODY, BUT THE CONTRAST TO ALL OF THE HYPERBOLE AND FLESHY
MERCHANDISING OF THE ANOINTING WILL BE SO OBVIOUS TO THE PURE AND HUNGRY
BELIEVER THAT LIGHT WILL DRIVE OUT THE DIM BULB OF MANS PRODUCTIONS
WHICH RESEMBLE THE GOLDEN CALVES ONCE "CREATED" IN PAST
ATTEMPTS TO PACIFY THE LAGGING BELIEVER.

THERE IS TRAVAIL IN THE HEART OF GOD
that is so passionate and real that only those who have been purged of the toxic poison
of selfish ambition can understand!

The Heart of heaven throbs with grief when He sees the cunning manipulation of
those who promote and entice with supposed "new revelations" and smug aloofness
to personal holiness and devotion to a prayer filled life

. THIS IS A SEASON TO LOOK AT THE MARRIAGES OF THOSE WHO APPEAR TO BE SO
"ANOINTED" AND ADORED. If the ministry-gifted individual is ministering more to
the masses and is not ministering to his or her own family …the balance will tilt
and the All-seeing King of truth will judge the character.

ALL HUMAN SIN SEEMS SO MUCH WORSE IN ITS CONSEQUENCES
THAN IN ITS INTENTIONS.
~ Reinhold Niebuhr

SAINTS! ALL OF THE ADULATIONS AND NOTORIETY ON THE EARTH
WILL NOT BRING YOU FAVOR WITH GOD!

IF YOUR HOME IS A WRECK THAN YOU WILL ALSO WRECK THE PEOPLE OF GOD
WITH THE SAME ARROGANCE AND LACK OF ORDER YOU MODEL IN THE HOME!
The Lord will allow the folly of our ways to catch up with us eventually.
How we receive His correction will also reveal our level of humility and ability
to act kindly to those bringing that correction.

AS WE BEGIN TO SEE THE DAWNING OF THE PROMISED WAVE
of God's greatest harvest event ever known to man since the birth of Christ Jesus,
the Lord is going to allow the "Herod spirit attitudes" to be justly addressed.
There are those who thought they were once at the forefront of what God was
doing and have "lost" that so called edge by either getting harsh and critical
or through focusing strictly on their own ministry advancement.

THE LORD IS LOVINGLY ALLOWING PAINFUL TRAVAIL TO OCCUR
in order for the current generation of Fathers and Mothers in the faith to see that
through releasing, and affirming the sons and daughters in their care,
or…. who are now, (due to the season), moving past them in influence or in a specific
anointing, they WILL once again... run hard and multiply themselves through
sending out the new wave of the King's regiments!

THERE IS A UNIQUE FRUIT THAT YOU WILL BEAR
as a forerunner of the king and as a representative in that calling you claim to have
that He himself paid the price for. Let us be brutally honest with ourselves as we
stand on the threshold of the greatest promise the Lord has offered to date in the
call to his people.

AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES, I URGE YOU TO SEE THAT THE HEART OF
THE KINGDOM IS ONE THAT IS MERCIFUL, PATIENT, AND INCLUSIVE TOWARDS OTHERS.

THIS IMITATES A UNITED HEAVENLY TEAM OF BROKEN VESSELS,
who are ready and prepared to let the Lord increase, and are also ready to let themselves
decrease in any level of control, heavy handed judgment, and self focus.

WHEN YOU FOLLOW THE DESIRES OF YOUR SINFUL NATURE, YOUR LIVES WILL PRODUCE
THESE EVIL RESULTS:
Sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry,
participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger,
selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your
own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you
again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.

BUT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CONTROLS OUR LIVES,
HE WILL PRODUCE THIS KIND OF FRUIT IN US: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with
the rules of the Kingdom and the law! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed
the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every
part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous
of one another. (Galatians Chapter 5: 19-26)

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IF ANOTHER CHRISTIAN IS OVERCOME BY SOME SIN,
YOU WHO ARE GODLY SHOULD GENTLY AND HUMBLY HELP THAT PERSON BACK ONTO
THE RIGHT PATH. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation
yourself. Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law
of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only
fooling yourself. You are really a nobody. Be sure to do what you should, for then
you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you
won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our
own conduct. (Galatians Chapter 6: 1-5)

WE ARE BEING GIVEN TIME,
through the mercy and kindness of God to get our hearts and heart intentions in line
with the reality of God’s plans. Taking a hard look at ourselves and allowing others to
warn, assist, and advise, rarely mimics anything that reflects earthly intelligence
or mania.

WISDOM COMES FROM GOD ABOVE.
Intelligence comes from man’s own efforts.
Let us not confuse these issues as to what is considered Character or Charisma
A Godly Charter reflects inclusiveness of others, compassion, patience, brutal
self-examination and honesty. Charisma is one with flair, influence, sparky-ness and
human wit. It draws others into a web of hope and promise but rarely sacrifices it’s
own agenda and comfort.

Let us bow down in a holy fear of the Lord’s Almighty ability to “scan our inner thoughts”
and ask Him to truly renew in us a clean heart, clean motives and clear pathways.

Remember, the pathways we are walking and paving in our lives, is the legacy
we leave for those in another Generation to either humbly follow as we imitate Christ
or else have great disdain over the self sustained and self fulfilling lifestyles that failed
them.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.
Anyone who does what is good is from God.
Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11

Fastest growing addiction among men in North America

51% of pastors say that looking at internet porn is their biggest temptation.

53% of men who went to a Promise Keeper’s event looked at porn the week before.

64% Christian leaders confirm they are struggling with sexual addiction or sexual compulsion. Including but not limited to the use of porn, compulsive masturbation and other secret sexual activities.

34% of church going women say they have intentionally visited a porn website.

1 out of 3 who visit porn websites are women.

60% of adults believe it is OK to live together.

But 50% of born again Christians say it is OK to shack up.

Porn movie rentals increase in hotels more than any other time when Christian conferences come into town.

Porn is a 67 billion dollar a year industry.

To put it into perspective, the revenue from internet porn is double that of all music downloads.

Since we are in a football stadium, let’s break it down this way. The porn revenue is more than the NFL, the NBA and MLB combined.

It is more than NBC, CBS, Fox and ABC combined.

70% of 18-24 year old men visit porn websites in a typical month.

70% of women involved in porn are survivors of incest and child abuse.

9 out to 10 kids ages 8-16 have viewed porn on line. Most of them accidentally while doing homework.

11 years is the average age of first porn exposure. There are over 100,000 that offer illegal child porn.

An estimated 325,000 US children age 17 or younger are prostitutes, performers in porn videos or otherwise fallen victim to commercial sexual exploitation.

1 out 6 boys and 1 out 3 girls are molested before they turn 18.



Husbands, men it’s time you stand up and be men. It is not worth your soul, it is not worth your family. That is somebody’s daughter.



This is why we have lost our voice. This is why we haven’t shaped a nation.



There’s a porn plague in our nation and there needs to be a people to arise and take a stand and say, “Not in my house, not in my life, and not in my church, not in my city and not my nation!!!!”

WORD TO PONDER: PORNOGRAPHY IS SIN 6/20/05
The earth is coming of age and the harvest of all things is in order. Beloved ones, it is time for the weeds and tares to be uprooted in your life. You can not sup at the table of demons and My holy place. You must choose one or the other. Being intimate with the works of darkness is unauthorized and puts you outside of My safe boundaries.

Pornography is sin. Pornography is worshipping and coveting graven images of sexual acts. In the Old Testament where I gave, the most basic commandments to My people, I said, thou shall not commit adultery and thou shall not covet. Desiring, longing for and lusting after another is a breach in My commandments. In the New Testament did I not say that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart? The strength of jezebel grows stronger every day as she fornicates the eyes and bodies of those who would join her bed. Only tribulation awaits those who feast with jezebel's graven images.

I have heard the cries of My people, and I AM delivering them through My Presence as I descend upon earth. I AM your loving Father, and because of My great love, I chastise those I love and I also judge sin. The more that I invade earth, the greater My judgment is upon sin. Separate yourselves and flee from the table of demons.

Repent and cry out for deliverance. Yes jezebel's lure is very strong, and I did not say fight temptation, I said flee it. Turn your back on sin. Do not dabble, do not open the door. Keep your eyes averted. Keep them as precious gates to the windows of your soul, and your vision will not be deceived and blinded.



Revelation 2:20 KJV
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

1 Corinthians 10:21 NLT
You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord's Table and at the table of demons, too.

Rev 21:6-8 NKJV
And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

As I was sitting in church this morning,
I felt the words "He took MY PLACE" come
to me and I wanted to write a poem about
how I feel about the Lord Jesus taking my place
and just now as I sat and prayed I felt these words
come to me:



HE TOOK MY PLACE

He took my place upon that tree,
oh the sins He bore for you and me.
The tears I shed were on his back,
He bled, He died, He bought me back.

The trail of Love He left behind
for all to see but they were blind.
The sneers, the crowds, their angry fear
hurt my dear Saviour as they drew near.

They tore his flesh, they beat his brow,
they mocked and cheered, an empty crowd.
Voices rang out as Jesus bowed.
He gave his Life for you and me
as He hung upon the cross at Calvary.

Their empty eyes, their angry stare,
as they watched my Saviour hanging there.
If they had known who was on that tree,
they would have bowed at Calvary.

But He took MY PLACE and willingly,
gave up His life for you and me.
As the sky grew dark and blackness came,
He bore my sin, He bore my shame.

My Saviour died upon that tree
one dark day at Calvary.
He broke the power of sin and shame
never again to bear that pain.

He took My place, He bled and died,
the curtain was torn from side to side.
Oh the Joy that set me free
the day my Saviour died for Me.

Our Risen Lord who took my place,
is now in Heaven as He waits,
the time is near for the trumpet blast,
My Saviour's Shout, we are home at last!

"Sing of Those Who Have Gone Before You.."

November 12, 2007

"Sing of those who have gone before you, those I used to help make this very road straight, for they obeyed My Words to them in their lives and truly have made the road easier for you. Were it not for their obedience, the task would be impossible for you, apart from Me. I AM not saying to worship those who have come into My Presence but to celebrate their lives, rather than to grieve when they are gone, for they have seen ME and I tell you truly, I have made their joy full!

The tasks I have laid before you are mountainous but, you are Overcomers in Christ now. Had I not taken you through the Wilderness, you would not be able to do what you are doing even now, nor in the future. Give thanks for what I have done for you, My Beloved...give thanks and sing praises so I will inhabit them and know that I AM with you always.

The enemy would have you dead were it not for Me. Know that nothing can touch you without My permission. You are Mine. I will not give you up! I will go before you, as I have always done, and make your way plain, so those behind you may sing of you in time.

You are called to Royalty in Christ. I want you to think of yourself as that, not to be puffed up and prideful, for those are things I detest but so you will look at yourself as not one of this world but one of MINE! When this comes out of your spirit into your waking life, you will change and truly believe nothing is impossible for those who belong to Me and believe!

The days ahead are filled with everything you can imagine- excitement, healing, miracles and, yes, pitfalls the evil one will place in your path. Know this- he will use something he knows will touch your heart in order to make you fall. Be watchful for him and do not fall into his traps. Listen to those who tell you of his ways and use that knowledge to stay clear of his entrapments. I have warned you. What you do now is up to you. I tell you truly, little ones...if you are not watchful and do not heed My warning and you stumble, you will never be the same again, not because I will say so but because the enemy will attack you with all the condemnation he has, and that, Beloved, is what He will ultimately use to stop your work on this earth. If you are filled with condemnation, you can do nothing for Me, for unless you see yourself as I see you, your work is never going to be that which I have planned for you; it will always fall short. How to avoid this? When you are warned a poisonous snake is nearby, do not think you can get by with staying near it! Believe Me when I say, you will be bitten. Flee the enemy's entrapments. You are still in the flesh and until you leave that flesh, you are subject to fall. If you think you cannot, you are foolish. I already know what you will do. Do the right thing- flee that which is evil but appears as good. You are not blind. I have given you eyes to see. Use them, My Beloved...use them and the Mind of Christ within you. It is not so complicated as the enemy makes it seems. There are very clear lines between good and evil. Your heart, not your flesh, will tell you which one is right...

My Joy I give to you this day, more than you have ever known, so long as you accept it," says the Lord. "Live and walk in My ways and think of those who have gone before you, from the beginning to now, and know I worked with them as I work with you now. There is one great difference: these are the end times and there is more pressure on you to fall. Stand with Me as My Children of the Most High King and you will see your part of the Kingdom come to reality!"
