My beautiful Church, how I long to continue to pour out My love into your midst and show you My delight in each of you.
Many of you have been walking in the darkness and trying to find your way out and have been feeling oppressed and wondering when the season will end.
I speak to you examine your hearts; to see if your hearts have been fear- full or peace-full. For many within My Church are now walking lives of tremendous fear, fear that has crippling consequences, and because of My great love for you, I long to set each of you free from that fear and lead you into the land of peace.
Many of you have storms around you like you have never felt before, the wind, the rain, the lightening and thunder seem louder and stronger than ever before, but I speak to you, that very soon shall your storm end. For I am using the storm to uproot fear from your lives and fill you with My peace.
My peace that surpasses all understanding, for the one thing that fear will rob is your peace. The enemy is trying to impregnate you My Church with his lies, his fear and his doubt, so that you may go around the mountain again.
I delight in you, I am greatly fond of you My beautiful Church and I am using these circumstances for your good.
Do not fear, for I am with you and I love each of you with a love that surpasses your human understanding, it is incomprehensible to your minds, but by My Spirit I am continually drawing many of you into the divine dance of love, My love for you.
I am cleaning My Church, and truly teaching you My Church about My love, My delight in you, and calling you on deeper levels to trust Me no matter what your circusmtances dictate.
For the time is coming My Church where I will release many of you that have been walking this dark valley of pruning to rid yourselves of fear, so that you may minister to others walking where you have walked.
Much is being shaken not only in the world but in My Church and My precious people, if you allow yourselves to be fear-full you will fall to the way side, and you will crumble, and this is not My heart for you.
Repent for allowing your hearts to be fear-full and repent for doubting My love and not trusting Me, and you will see My love come in deeper than ever before, transform your hearts by the revelation of My divine love, and each of you shall receive a revelation of My peace that will keep you standing strong all the days of your lives.
For the work I am doing on this earth, I am looking for warriors who know their Creator's love and walk in boldness because they know how much I love them and approve of them.
Do not compromise My Church and fall into fear. Activate your faith knowing My great love for you and each of you will see the dawning of the new day.
Hold nothing back from Me, lay down all your cares, anxieties and worries to Me and know My Church I am working all things for your good and for My Glory.
As you open your hearts to Me, I am rooting out fear, and divine love, strength and peace is being planted.
The weeping shall continue into the next season, but the tears each of you cry, will be tears of joy and freedom and not of fear.
With Me by your side My Church you can do all things. I am on your side, I love you and I am releasing fear from your lives once and for all. Walk in it Church, walk in it now, and the new day will dawn. Don't doubt Me, trust Me, hold My hand and you will be taken to places you've never dreamed of.
HUMBLENESS THE POSTURE OF PREPAREDNESS by Jeff Kingshott
Humbleness is the Prerequisite the Priority and the Posture ,
for entering My Gates with Thanksgiving and coming unto My Courts with Praise . . .
Bless The LORD for His Love Endures forever
I AM CULTURING YOU INTO MY ONENESS !
Be Prepared for what I AM Bringing to you for it is great in stature ( Assembly of The Overcomers ) : ( 2 Chronicles 7:6 )
2 Chronicles 7:14-22
14If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.
16For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My Name may be here forever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually.
17As for you [Solomon], if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do all I have commanded you, and observe My statutes and My ordinances,(A)
18Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.
19But if you [people] turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you and go and serve other gods and worship them,
20Then will I pluck [Israel] up by the roots out of My land which I have given [them]; and this house which I have hallowed for My Name will I cast out of My sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.(
21And this house, which was so high, shall be an astonishment to everyone passing it, and they will say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?
22Then men will say, Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, Who brought them out of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and worshiped and served them; therefore has He brought all this evil upon them.
I WANT TO TABERNACLE WITH YOU! by Priscilla Van Sutphin 10/18
34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
Zech 14:16-18 NKJV The Nations Worship the King
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles . 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles .
“ Beloveds of My heart, I want to tabernacle with you. I want you to know My manifest presence always with you. I gave you the Holy Spirit so that you would not feel alone, but I want you to be My holy habitation. I want you to hear my voice, more than you want to hear My voice. I want you to focus on Me, not just in the mornings before work, but throughout the day. I want you to feel SECURE in My love for you, that you would never doubt My love for you. Just like lovers think of each other throughout the day, wondering what is happening with the other, I want you to know, that I am ALWAYS thinking of you. I never have my eyes off of you. I know every little thing that happens, every thought you think.
Come away with ME, and let me hold you in My arms of love. Let me show you great and marvelous things you do not know.
John 14:16-18 NKJV And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper,
that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells
with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
I am not a God afar off, but I am near at hand. I told you that if you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. So if you are abiding, your prayers will be answered, and you can rest assured that I hear every prayer you pray. I always answer, but not always the way you want. If you pray in the Spirit according to My will, then of course those words become LIFE, for you are praying MY WILL, and what I speak will become.
Jer 23:23-24 NKJV "Am I a God near at hand," says the LORD, "And not a God
afar off ? 24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?"
says the LORD; "Do I not fill heaven and earth?" says the LORD.
I want to be so ONE with you, that your thoughts conform to My thoughts, and your heart conforms to My heart, and your actions conform to My will. Union with ME is only possible if we have communion together. It only comes from your thoughts being taken captive, so that you no longer are distracted by the world and all the distractions of the enemy. It is only in My presence that that can improve. It is time in My presence that can never be wasted. For I AM the SOURCE of all you need. To become one, means you cannot serve ME, and mammon at the same time. You cannot serve your own fleshly self life, and Me. You cannot serve money, and ME at the same time. So take every thought captive beloveds. Recognize what is glorifying Me, and what is glorifying self. To have that discernment means time in the WORD.
John 8:31-32 NKJV The Truth Shall Make You Free
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
As you learn to abide through MY GRACE working in you, then you will bear much fruit. This is a great fruit bearing season you are in. I am pruning and correcting, testing and trying. I don’t want you left out, I do not take delight in cutting off unfruitful branches. I do all I can in a way I know best fits each person and according to the call on their lives. Give mercy and you will have mercy. Give to others as you wish to receive. Do not think to hoard up for yourselves alone in this hour, for I will judge those who show no mercy without mercy.
Remember that I can provide out of My storehouses anything that is needed. There is nothing I cannot do, though many are doubting and unbelieving that I would. Without faith it is impossible to please ME, remember ? So EXPECT good things from My hand, for I will do many supernatural things to provide for those who display faith in MY ABILITIES.
Always remember that I love you, and though I am judging the world, and I am pruning My church, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. I will never, never, never leave you alone. “
John 15:4 NKJV Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
John 15:7-8 NKJV If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:9-10 NKJV Love and Joy Perfected - "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
"'I am the Alpha and Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty...
"...'Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.'" Revelation 1:8, 17-18
Messiah is "Alpha"
On the evening of Yom Kippur, I had a lovely vision of Messiah during which the Lord planted the "Alpha" symbol in the ground (Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and symbolically means "first"). I went to bed that night thinking of the vision and wondering what it might mean. The morning after Yom Kippur, I waited on the Lord in prayer and the vision continued to unfold and Jesus spoke the following words to my heart. His words to me are also intended to be words for the global Church.
It is my sincere belief that this is a time to plant and a time to build the Kingdom; it is a time to nurture and a time to grow; a time to receive the increase of apostolic grace and compassion that Christ is releasing upon the earth. God's love will mature the Church into the image of our wonderful Saviour. His Love disciples us and transforms us to become like the One we behold. Love will win the nations for His glory and hasten Christ's return.
Below are words Messiah spoke to me:
Love Must Be First
"My child, the Church must be first to love, for the most important foundation in the lives of My children is love. I am your first love and My love must take first place in your heart and mind. My love positions you to be a vessel of My glory. My love will affect your destiny.
"Do not allow your schedules to be motivated by any other source than My love. When My love becomes your priority, My Father will honour the one who follows and serves Me. Love enables you to be a son serving in My vineyard. By embracing My compassion and love, you will access the key to walking in My power and authority."
Compassion - a Fruit of Love
In my vision as we were turning to the garden before us, Jesus said, "Let Me show you some fruits of love."
We walked together for a short time and came upon the most beautiful blossoms. They were a delicate peach colour, fragrant, seemingly fragile and with a translucent, transparent quality to them.
Jesus said, "These are blossoms of compassion."
Struck by their beauty and fragrance, I was keen to touch one with my own hands. Quickly, the Lord responded, "My child, be careful of the thorns."
I was somewhat surprised that such a lovely flower would have a stem with thorns. Pre-empting my next question, Jesus spoke again:
"My child, compassion was purchased at great cost. The cross has released the fullness of the Father's compassion on the earth. Love comes to you at a great price, but it was My joy to endure such pain and suffering so that the world might be reconciled to My Father and each of you to one another.
"In love I wore a crown of thorns as I surrendered in obedience to endure the cross to birth the beauty of compassion for the multitudes. These blossoms represent the beauty and the cost of Calvary. My pure and holy love must become the precedence of My people. If My people will let My love be the precedent then My Kingdom will advance upon the earth."
His Eternal Love and Life-Giving Presence
Moving on, Jesus led me to another spot. Before us were the most wonderful evergreen bushes with remarkable, strong ivy-like branches which formed an arch above us, providing a shade and a shelter. Jesus said, "They are called 'Evergreen' because they speak of My eternal love and life at work in you and through you, for My love knows no boundaries and My love is unending."
The evergreen bushes were covered in tiny red fruit berries. Jesus picked one and invited me to try some, "Taste." I ate the berry He placed in my mouth and at once the sweetness flooded my senses. There was no hint of bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. I felt completely refreshed.
"My children can only bring refreshing to the lost when they continue to be refreshed from My eternal Presence. My children must be first to seek Me with all their hearts, minds and strength. In being filled to overflowing with the fruit of My Spirit, you can then bring My life-giving presence to others. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Receive My love."
The Treasure of Humility - We are Called to Be Last
We walked a little further and sat down on a nearby wooden bench. It was not so pretty in this part of the garden. It was quiet, and overhead, a few clouds darkened the skyline to a light shade of grey. I was disappointed that there were no beautiful blossoms or interesting ivy to see, touch, taste and smell.
As we sat together, I gazed at the stony ground ahead. I was amazed to see what looked like a tiny snow-drop triumphantly growing amongst the hard, unyielding ground. It glistened with morning dew and its delicate petals were of the purest white, and on its stem I noticed a minute silver "Omega" growing there (Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and symbolically means "last" or "finality").
Jesus smiled at me and said:
"Well done, My child - you saw beyond the circumstance and the apparent lack of fruit. You looked with eyes of faith and found a pearl of great price which My Church must also embrace. Those who sit with Me in humility will receive this redemptive treasure within: My children must be willing to be last. As 'Omega' I have shown you how to live a life of selfless love.
"This tiny snowdrop growing in the most difficult terrain represents the gifts of humility, meekness and grace. It is symbolic of My Church, postured to serve and to love no matter what the circumstance; whether in good times or bad; whether in times of war or peace; whether in times of plenty or famine. I call My Church to a lifestyle of holy love."
Jesus picked the flower and placed it as a living brooch on my lapel. My coat speaks of the mantle of righteous love that Jesus has placed on the Church.
"Treasure this revelation. I did not come to lord it over people, even though I am the Lord of all Creation. I came as a Servant King, as Alpha and Omega - the first to love, firstborn from the dead and firstborn over all creation.
"My child, walk in humility and in the power of My love. Let this snowdrop be a sign of your surrender and your sonship. Be first to love, be first to give, be first to run to Me, be first to make peace, be first to speak a word of healing, be first to love the poor, be first to give all and in giving all - receive all that I am. These are tender words from My Father's heart, yet they are indestructible in My love.
"My Beloved children, be first to be last and the last shall be first. You cannot sit upon a throne and rule until you have understood how to serve those who sit at My table. In lowly love I confer My Kingdom of grace and glory upon you." Amen.
"Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
"For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as One who serves. You are those who have stood by Me in My trials. And I confer on you a Kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'"
Luke 22:24-30
