""IT IS TIME TO GO ONTO MATURITY"

Oct. 13 evening, 2009

1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3And God permitting, we will do so. Hebrews 6

"You are entering a new season in the church. In this season, all the hype and entertainment will be disappearing. For I am cleaning out my house. It is time for you to put away childish things. It is time for you to grow up. It is time for you to come unto maturity.

Pastors it is time for you to quit laying out the same foundation. It is time for you to quit trying to please the sheep. It is time for you to quit just feeding them milk.

My body has been pampered for too long. They tire of the same pastures year after year. It is time for them to be prepared for other things. Wouldn't you want your own child to eventually grow up? It is safe and way too familiar to keep them at the same place. It is not loving to keep them in the same place. If you're going to preach, then preach a new word! Where is the fresh word from heaven? Where is the manna that fell from heaven?

By the end of this year you will see tumultuous things begin to happen. The winds of change are moving across the world. For out of the deep a spirit has come and tried to get some to follow after him. He knows that his time is short.

Do not be enticed by the words that he spreads. For another false prophet will emerge on the scene. I have told you that in the last days some would come. When you see these things begin to happen, then you will know that the time is near."
