I
call you my overcomers, says the Lord, for you are my overcomers in
this hour, stepping into a new land, with a new song in your hearts.
You are blessed in this hour, for in this hour, I have brought you
to the place where you have been given the opportunity to overcome
all that tried to stop you from pressing through to the other side.
To those who have just come through these times, I give you a song
to sing as you come into the promised land, which I give to you, to
take for your possession in this hour. It is the kingdoms of
the king, I hand it to you, and with it the scepter, which gives you
divine authority and power to rule the kingdoms of the king in this
hour. For you have overcome in this hour. This is the song of
the overcomer in this hour.
The
song which was sung on the lips of those who have just come through
as overcomers was the song of praise which they sang as they pressed
through the wilderness to the other side. Rejoice, my
overcomers, for this is the day to rejoice, and dance and sing
before me as I bring you up to the top of the mountain of Zion.
For you have been faithful to press through until you have gone
through to the other side. You have not given up in the face
of adversity, nor grumbled and complained before me, about what you
faced. 'Because you have rejoiced in all that you have faced, and
have been faithful to not seek your own will and purposes in this
hour, I will bless you mightily in this hour. Your song will
be the song of Zion, for I will bless you beyond measure for your
hearts have been pure and holy before me, and you have pressed
through the hard places in the wilderness and not complained, nor
grumbled in the hard pressings which I allowed. You have
rejoiced and sang the song of the overcomer
which is the new song of my third day in this hour. For
it is those who have not sought their own glory, nor positions, nor
merit before men, who I will exalt in this day. Because they have
not desired it, nor sought after it, I will give it to them.
Because they have done a good work unto me, I will bless them more
than they could have ever imagined. I am exalting the meek and
humble in this hour, for their hearts have been before me seeking my
face, and my will and desires and purposes in this time.
Because they have sought that which is good before me, I will bless
them greatly.
Out
of the sea of sufferings and trials has been birthed a new song from
this 3rd day, a song of triumph, a song of the overcomers, for they
have overcome in this hour. Out of the death is birthed
life, resurrection life that I will fill those who have come
through this time.
For
by obedience and submission at the cross, death was overcome.
Is it not the same today? Through the death of
self, and all flesh, if you will overcome you will be come through
to the promised land, which is the resurrection glory. I will fill
you up and you will rise up in this last hour, for you shall be
called the overcomers.
For
many of you, even now have come through the sifting time, that I
have been doing in you. For I am burning out that which is not
of me in you, and sifting it, and blowing away the chaff with the
winds of my Holy Spirit. This is the hour of purifying my holy
vessels for how can you enter into my presence, without being purged
and made clean? It is a time of purifying, of being made holy
in this hour, so you may enter into a place where my presence
dwells. For no flesh can stand in my holy presence. For out of the death of
self, I have birthed life, once again, for this new day. For
my remnant shall be called the overcomers, they have overcome
in this 3rd day, for such a time as this. I am raising them up
as one child, in this 3rd day, in my glory as manifested sons &
daughters of my glory for this appointed hour and time.
I
am taking those who have allowed themselves to settle into the
comfort zones in me, to be removed out of those places in this hour.
To be pressed into the hard places until they can come into this
place, also. For there is no victory in comfort, nor can life
be birthed out of such a place as that. I am bringing, many
now, into this new place, now, a new beginning. To seek me in
the higher ground. Do not let the seeds of apathy take root in
your hearts, but press in until you go higher in me. Let me set a
fire in each of you, to seek more of me. This a new time,
and new beginning, which I am bringing you into. Seek me and press
in, until you press into that higher ground where I dwell. I
want to raise you up into my glory in this third day, bring you
into the place where you will enter into the resurrection life of my
glory, for my purposes to be birthed and fulfilled in you and
through you in this earth.
Out
of despair, and the trials and sufferings, I have birthed life.
I have birthed a new man, a troop of overcomers who are
marching to a different beat, to another song, the song of praise
springs forth out of their hearts and out of their lips they sing
the song of praise to me as they press through the wilderness
through to the other side. Joy and gladness fill
their hearts to overflow in the river of joy, with the song of Zion bubbling
out of their hearts, as they dance and leap and jump as they
enter the promised land, up to the top of the mountain where his
presence dwells. It is this song that they sing that is
birthed out of their hearts that comes up from the earth to me,
as one heart and one mind in the unity of the spirit.

Only
those who have surrendered unto me in this hour, and
have allowed me to do a complete work in each of their
hearts will be able to enter into this new work of mine
in this hour. I
am bringing those who desire me more than their own
fleshly desires into this time of cleansing and
purifying.
Seek
me my beloved ones, seek my face with total desire, and
I will bring you into the Holy Place, the secret place
where I dwell. For
it in this place, where I dwell, where my presence,
fills the tabernacle with my presence, where my holiness
and purity fills this place with the fullness of my
presence.
I
am bringing many of you
through the burning fires which will burn out the
impurities which are still in you and I will purify you
as you I bring you through the cleansing fires.
For
only that which is holy and pure can stand in my
presence. So
you must be cleansed before entering into this place of
purity where I dwell, where my presence fills the inner
chambers of the Holy Place.
I
am separating all that is unpure and unholy from amongst
you. I am
causing this separation to occur because I will not
allow the unpure to pollute the purity of my work in my
vessels in this hour.
For you will truly be my vessels of holiness and
purity, filled to overflowing with my glory, for my
purposes and will to come to pass in this hour.
Many
of you will not understand what I am doing in this hour,
and you will try to hold on that which I am separating
from you. But
I say to all of my children, will you willingly give up
all that you have held on to from your past to come into
this new place in me?
You must be willingly and totally desire to give
up all your idols to come into this 3rd day
work in this hour. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Because you
want to please me more than anything that you hold close
to you heart that is before me and you.
You must desire to willingly give up everything,
as a living sacrifice to me, because you love me more
than any earthly possession you have, to come into this
place now.
I
am doing a work of sifting and of separating the wheat
from the chaff. The
winds of the spirit are blowing and separating the wheat
from the chaff, after it is burnt.
My children must come
unto me so I may cleanse them and purify them with the
consuming fire. Then,
as each of my children are consumed in the Holy Fire,
then the chaff can be separated from the wheat as it is
the consuming fires sweep over them.
Then as the winds of the spirit blow, the wheat
will be separated from the chaff in this hour, for my
purposes and will, for this appointed time, as I have
predestined it to be.
How
can I fill you
with this new oil from heaven in this 3rd day
work, if you have held back part of your heart offerings
to me?
So come before me, and let me do a complete work
in each of you. Hold
back nothing from me.
I desire that my children will be willing
sacrifices of love to me in this last hour.
Only those who will walk in this place, according
to the spirit of truth, will know my voice in this last
hour. For
you will be called mine, and I will be in each of you,
and you in me, for you will know me and you will hear my
voice in this last hour.
