On occasion the Lord speaks a message for me, sometimes encouraging, sometimes direction and sometimes admonition. Here are a few quotes from these messages over the years...
My people are being fragmented, drawn hither and thither by the winds of doctrine coming from the false prophets and false teachers so prevalent in the world today. My people are being attacked by the evil one as never before...attacked in their homes, in their relationships in their jobs, in every area they hold dear. Doubts and fears are entering into their spirits and their faith in Me is being weakened. My people must learn battle tactics and how to come against the enemy...how to clothe themselves with the armour of God. To you, My daughter, have I given many words of encouragement for My people and I desire that you make yourself ready to present them wherever I shall send you.
Beloved, as you accepted Me as your Saviour, you became a new creature, old things passed away and all things became new. This promise is true in your life...your old desires changed and you began to have new desires and goals for your life. However, in order to be totally cleansed and purified you needed to be set free of the hurts you so deeply suppressed. I have told you in My Word that I will not abide your putting any gods before Me...gods of material things...gods of addiction to worldly things...gods of overindulgence of food, or anything that would come before Me. I have shown you how to overcome all temptation to indulge in these things, simply feed on My Word. As you begin to do this you shall receive total victory over every idol and you shall begin to walk in a whole new realm...a realm of walking in My Spirit with My anointing upon you.
I say unto you, My child, you have developed a seeking heart, seeking after the things of Me. I have allowed you to receive much knowledge and, as you put it into practice in your life, then shall you receive even more knowledge. Study the Scriptures most diligently for there are many hidden nuggets of truth contained therein, which I am revealing to those who really seek.
I am raising up a people, pure and holy, who will become My kingdom people, who will walk in total victory upon the earth. I tell you that many are called but few are chosen. Many will not be willing to pay the cost of entering into My kingdom and will choose to sit on the sidelines.
Have I not told you in My Word...
My child, keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking and you shall receive those things for which you seek.
My daughter, you are seeking for new revelations but you are not looking in the right place. It is only when you are filled with My Word that My peace envelops you. You are allowing worldly things to come before the time you spend with Me. O My child, I love you greatly and I desire to give you the desires of your heart but you must learn obedience. If you really desire to be Christlike then you must learn what it is to be like Me.
I walked the earth without sin.
I mingled with the poor and lowly,
the sick and those in need, and ministered unto them.
I spent much time in prayer to My Father.
I taught great multitudes about the kingdom of God.
I died on the cross that you might have eternal life, that your sins might be forgiven, that you might have life and have it more abundantly.
If you desire to be among My chosen people who will serve Me in these last days...if you want to be Christlike then you, too, must seek to be without sin..you must minister to the poor and lowly, the sick and those in need, with no reservation...you must spend much time in prayer and worship, you must declare the kingdom of God everywhere I send you...you must be willing to die for love of Me. I have so much to give unto My people as they become willing to lay down their lives for Me.
My child, be not discouraged or sore of heart...you know when you grieve Me but I see your desire to be all that I want you to be. I see your willingness to be cleansed and purged of all that might hinder our communication.
Have I not told you in Scripture that...
My child, I ask of you first place in your life...let no gods of this world come before Me. There are many gods that would be as boulders in your path of life...the god of television, the god of busyness, the god of running to and fro, the god of devotion to loved ones, to the extent that they come before Me, the god of overeating. Beloved, put your trust in me, seek Me in even the smallest decisions of your life, and as you do, you will become aware of new goals, new attitudes, new desires in your walk with me. In order to lay down all to follow Me, you must be steeped in My Word...you must seek Me in prayer.
My child, every great and precious promise contained in My Word is for you and for all of My people, who fulfil the conditions thereof. Stand on them and claim them and so take on My divine nature and ever become more like Me. My life on earth was, as it were, a pattern for you to live your life by.
I say unto you, My child, you have allowed the circumstances of your life to have priority over My desires for you. Loose yourself now from all things, even those which would seem to be for Me...too long you have been running to and fro, seeking to fill yourself with the things of Me, seeking to do for others. Be still, My child, and receive only My teaching...listen only to My voice. You have abused your body with your much running and now I desire that you have rest for your body, your soul and your spirit.
I have prepared for you unforgettable experiences as you shall walk where I walked, but first your heart and mind and body must be made ready, with much solitude, much seeking Me in prayer, much immersion in My Word. As you are obedient you shall experience newness of life, a fresh anointing, restoration of body, soul and spirit, new desires and abundant energy. Yea, My child, come unto Me and sit at My feet for a time of refreshing. As you are faithful in following My instructions, I shall use you as a vessel wherever your feet may tread. Use well this time of infilling that I have prepared for you.
(Received a few weeks before leaving for a tour of the Holy Land.)
My child, I hear your supplications this day...your cry for your loved ones, for My guidance in your life and in theirs...your cry for your country. I tell you, My child, I hear your faithful prayers for your family and I will do what I have promised...save your household. Continue to pray fervently for them and I shall bring it to pass.
I hear your prayers for your country, and I tell you, that My people coming to Me faithfully in prayer, with repentant hearts can move the hand of My Father and bring healing to your land. I am calling My people to prayer, to become intercessors, for this is the most powerful tool to quiet the storm of sin and evil in your country.
My child, My child...
I have broken you before Me this day...you have felt My cleansing power as I began to root out those things you've buried deep within your being. You have been crying out to be set free of those things that bind you and My child, release it all to Me...begin to see yourself as I see you, beloved in My sight. Put off all feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy for they are not of Me but of the evil one. You yearn to do more for Me but, My child, know ye that every day you touch someone's life. You yearn to have freedom of tongue, but beloved, it is not fluency I desire, but a seeking heart. Know ye that down through the ages I have used in the greater way, the humble, the illiterate, the poor and the sinners to accomplish My purposes. As you yield yourself to Me I shall use you in an ever growing ministry of speaking to My people.
Yea, My child, I feel your pain, I see the turmoil within you, I see your struggle to cast it upon Me. Lay it down, lay it at My feet and just simply trust Me. You yearn for My peace and My joy and I would not withhold them from you but first the chastening. Know ye that I chasten all those whom I love. Put down all doubts and fears...do not allow them to surface in your heart for they are a trick of Satan. Know ye that your power over Satan is strengthened as you study My Word, as you seek Me in prayer.
Yes, your busyness curtails your time spent with Me but, know ye that I allow busyness on occasion to teach you something that I desire for you. At this moment I desire to set you aside for a time spent with Me...a time when I can freely minister to you. Sit at My feet, My daughter, and I will talk with you there...I will bless you and guide you. You are aware of My hand upon you, of revealing areas in your life which need to be dealt with and sending someone to pray with you. My child, I am equipping you for ministry so resist not the seeming valley experiences you are encountering for out of them shall you emerge a new creature.
I say unto you, I am equipping all My saints by the cleansing and purging process and when they stand pure and holy before Me, then shall I put within them the tools to complete the ministries I have chosen for them. Assemble together at every opportunity to share your prayer needs...to share the revelations I have given to each of you and to praise and worship Me.
Thus saith the Lord...
My child, know ye that I hear your every prayer...I feel every heart beat...I hurt when you hurt and I rejoice when you rejoice. I know your heart's desire that your loved ones might know the wonder, the joy, the peace that you have found in your walk with Me.
Have I not promised...
I have told you before and I tell you again that the moment you begin to pray for someone is the moment I begin to work in their lives...a work of new desires, new goals, a gradual withdrawal from the things of the world and a turning unto Me.
You, My child, are My spokesman and when My timing is right I shall send you to and fro, to proclaim to My people, "The famines are coming!...The wars are coming!...The earthquakes are coming!...Prepare ye, prepare ye!" Those who will hear and are willing to be obedient to My instructions shall I keep in safety and shall use in a mighty way, but those who close their ears shall endure great trials and tribulation.
Now, My child, rest in peace...enjoy to the fullest your travels to far off lands, knowing that it is not by accident that you are going but that I shall use you in a special way, even there. Know ye that when you return there shall await you that perfect place I have chosen for you to establish a home once again...a home that shall be that haven of peace, that place of prayer that you have provided for so many of My people in every home you have had since first you came to know Me. (Received just before leaving to visit a daughter and her family in new Zealand.)
