It is a scientific fact that the snowflakes are unique in creation; none are identical. Then why would you demand that my ministries be exactly the same – that they be cookie cutter carbon copies of each other?
For I tell you as a truth and as a fact, that in the coming days shortly in front of you, you will see so many varieties it will astound you.
A timeline has been crossed and that which was birthed in the late fifties has come to a screeching halt and an end and a demarcation line has been drawn in the sand by God.
That which was of that generation is over; its time is over; its usefulness is
over; it is the old wineskin.
And you will see many situations, as you have already, of a Saul and David type scenario going on where David even runs for his life to escape death from the reigning king, even down into the enemy’s camp at times proclaiming madness to survive the onslaught of the religious king determined to stamp out the new anointing, determined to kill that which they cannot control, determined to slander, to mock, to hunt down and kill the message that is not of their particular persuasion.
There have been many ministries that have run to the far corners of this nation and hid in caves and seemingly even their lives are over as it were; their ministries are dead; they’re in a foreign land under another king, even under a heathen situation.
But I will snap my fingers; I will whistle; I will call; I will bring my children out of
Egypt; I will bring my sons, my prophets, my ministers from the four corners of the earth. I will stand them up and they will prophesy. Fire will come out of their
mouths; healings will happen; people will fall on their faces under the anointing.
Many, many shall come to the Kingdom of God.
And they will say “Well, who are you under?” And
you will say, “I am under the Lord, my God.” And they will say, “But who do you submit to?” And you will say, “Who did Jesus submit to? Who did John the Baptist submit to?”
They did submit to the Almighty. They were disciplined by God. They said, “If you do not believe me, then believe the works I do.”
They will look and see what you do and hear what you say
and they will shake their heads in disbelief and say, “This cannot be; this is not part of what we have known.”
But open your eyes. I’ve warned you that changes were coming to the Church –
the winds of change are coming.
Angels were released at that time. The winds of change are upon
you, I said. I’ve prophesied it to many prophets across the nation, winds were blowing on this nation and that things would be spun and flipped and turned upside down and you would not even recognize the Church in the coming days.
So that is the condition that you feel in. You don’t, you can’t put things in place, in order like you used
to, "This goes here; that goes there; that’s the way it’s always been; we don’t change the room."
God has changed the House. God has changed the rules. Church is wherever you are seven days a week. You are never out of
the ministry. You are fulltime called where you walk, where you breathe, where you move the anointing moves through you.
You
are Prophets in the Land
You are prophets in the land. Wherever you go as Abraham did, I am with you, saith the Lord.
When you lift your face to heaven and pray, I hear you.
Though every devil in the land would try to stop you, I will stand for you.
I will make you as rods of steal as I did Jeremiah. And though the priesthood, and the king, and the nation itself come against you, you will prevail, says God.
You will prevail; you will prevail. You are prophets of the Almighty and you will prevail.
Not to say you won’t be thrown into pits. Oh how glorious was Jeremiah’s ministry when he found himself at the bottom of a pit and they said, ‘Where is your power, oh prophet of God? Free
yourself; come out of that pit if you are the prophet of the Lord."
“Come down off that Cross if you are the Son of God.”
You do not understand biblical ministry; that’s the problem.
You’ve listened to the tapes, the TV and the books and you have not looked into the Bible and
seen how prophets were truly treated and seen how real ministry happens and
seen how God develops his true leaders through dungeons and pits and prisons and betrayals, ships that go down, snakes that bite, brothers that are false, situations where they are even torn asunder and give their lives for the
Kingdom. These are the true prophets of God, not those that manipulate and con and throw fancy things at you and fleece you of your money, your life, your time and then leave you high and dry when trouble comes.
True shepherds stay on the floor with the flock. They go into the pit and the dungeons with them. They don’t disappear.
A
Blood bought Scarred Leadership
Oh, there is coming upon this world a blood bought and a scarred leadership that will rise up in true biblical power.
They will display the works of God. There will not be the conniving, conning manipulative ways on them where the whole thing is to get your money, to get your allegiance, to get your loyalty so that they can build a kingdom around themselves.
Their whole purpose will be to turn you to Him and to lift Him up and to encourage you in your walk, your ministry, your calling.
I will show you true shepherds in the coming days.
I will show you prophets and leaders. Don’t be discouraged because you’ve seen some of the counterfeits and even some that are mixed up like Sampson who do live under the power of God but are so flawed that they also move with the prostitutes; they also move with the money changers.
It isn’t the first time Balaam has risen in the Church or any of the other half-stepping ministries.
But there are the Isaiahs; there are the Jeremiahs; there are the John the Baptists.
There is the true as well as the half true and the totally false.
Take heart, children. Take heart and look and understand there are the good examples.
But know this, you are in the ministry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everywhere you go, your presence is noted by the
Angels. The demons tremble when you walk in rooms.
They do not like you; they do not like you. They speak about you.
They plan and plot how they can trip you up and stop you.
If you could see beyond the veil the battles that go on over your lives and your callings, if you could see what I see, if you could understand what I understand you would take heart.
So, I’m calling you now to take heart at what the Scriptures have said about those who suffer; and those who suffer shall rule and reign with Him.
And those whose hearts are truly God’s, He does come and take them out of
pits; He finally releases them from caves. When the mad king is finally put to death then David comes forward.
So fear not in your life if you’ve had a mad king on top of you trying to kill you, if you’ve had situations that have driven you even to points of hiding in caves. The time will come when that season of oppression will be over and it will have done its work in you and on you and through you and you will rise for Him in power and for the glory of God.
In all of my leaders’ lives there were times of great suffering and great persecution but there were also times of great exaltation. This is the true teaching of Scripture. It is a blend of both. Yes, God blesses, but
He also chastises. God prospers, but He also brings low many people that they may prosper under the mighty hand of God in adversity as well as in the midst of persecution. So learn to walk through both camps. Learn to walk in the dark valley as well as on the mountain top. Learn to stabilize yourself in God knowing that the Scriptures are true.
He never leaves you. He never forsakes you. He will be there. There will be the cup of water; there will be a cool drink in the midst of the fiery trial and when you come out you will come out as gold, saith the Lord.
Do not look at the church around you. Don’t even think about the church around you. Lock your eyes unto my Kingdom and onto my Scripture. Encourage yourself in the Lord; encourage yourself in the Lord and look for the little things you can do for God everyday. That is your ministry; that is your calling.
And the day is going to come when you turn a corner and there will be an open space in front of you and you will bring
many unto the Lord.
Mantles
are Coming
I am sitting with generals, saith the Lord; I am sitting with leaders. You say, “But I am not a general; I am not a leader; I don’t have a ministry; I don’t have a calling.”
You don’t know who you are. You have no idea the calling on you many times. But I will bring you forth, saith God,
and I will cause things to happen.
I will cause you to speak the truth in love and I will witness of my pleasure even through the power and the anointing that flows upon you
to others.
You will bring many unto Me, saith God.
I will switch
anointings. Those that have been teachers will become pastors. Those that have been deeply behind the scenes will become evangelists. Those that have said,
"I am timid and weak" will be bold and strong as Deborah in the coming days. Mantles are coming; mantles are coming – new mantles for a new Church.
My grace showers down on your head at night.
I have seen all of your struggles, all of your trials, all of your failures.
I have seen your repentance many times. When I don’t find you at my altar telling Me how many times you’ve attended, how many times you’ve tithed, how much you are so glad you are not like that loser over
there, but when you lift your eyes to heaven and cry to Me about your faults and shortcomings
telling Me that you do not deserve even what you have,
then I take great pleasure in your heart, great pleasure in your attitude and I will reward you in the coming days.
So don’t look to this earthly church for your reward. Don’t look to the leaders around you for the plan up ahead.
It's not coming but it is going to come from Me. Surely as I have prophesied that I would bring many churches down and many leaders down, I’ve also prophesied I will lift up those that please Me. And I’m promising this very night,
those that please me I will lift up; I will bless; I will set on high as an example in the coming days.
You
are not Handmaidens - you are Leaders
Remain faithful to Me. Be encouraged in your hearts in your ministries and callings.
You have great ministries, great ministries, great ministries. What others call handmaidens, I call great. You are not handmaidens; you are leaders. Handmaidens do not know what their master is going to do. You know; you have been taken into the council of God and shown the future.
Encourage yourself in God; encourage yourself in God. Tell yourself that you are like David; you are like Deborah. Your time is coming. You will step forward and speak for Me. And all the years of suffering and preparation and trial are going to make you
balanced sane levelheaded leaders in the coming days, not committing the errors of your
forefathers, not falling into the traps that they have fallen into.
The years of training in suffering
will bring humility and grace to your life. You will handle your ministries as Joseph handled Egypt. You will do a good job in administration, saith the Lord. You are going to be excellent administrators in my Kingdom. You will deal fairly and justly with people. You have mercy and compassion in your hearts and you will also be strong and be corrective when you need to be.
I take joy in the wounds and the pains and the sufferings that have happened in
your lives. It is like a sweet savor before My throne your trials, your pains, your suffering.
There isn’t the stench of self righteousness. There isn’t the stench of spiritual pride. There is a sweet anointing that comes to My Throne – the cry of the heart, “Oh, God, please use me; God, please don’t let me die without fulfilling my purpose.” I hear that from
you day and night, “Don’t let me die without fulfilling what you’ve made me for.”
You will meet others out there who are like you from different places who have come through the trials, through the smoke, through the fog, through the tribulation and have reached
a plateau with God. And you will see upon them the wound of God, the battle of God. You will smell the smoke and the fire upon their
garments. You will say, “You have walked where we walked; you know what we know.”
A
fellowship of Intercessors
There is coming a federation, a fellowship. Even like the “Fellowship of the
Ring”
- a fellowship of friendship, saith God. You will back each other even though
you are different, as each one of your individual skills comes together and forms a mighty armada, a band of warriors for my namesake, for my Kingdom. And this band will begin to grow in this nation and I will form an allegiance and an alliance of warriors that has nothing to do with church hierarchy, nothing to do with natural boundaries and limitations. I will form an intercessory group that will go from north to south and east to west. I will form an alliance in the
Spirit and the leaders will just stand out. No one will say, no one will vote.
They will just be there.
And people will say, “There is my leader,” as they knew from Dan to Beersheba that Samuel was a prophet of the nation of Israel. No one had to tell
them; the Holy Ghost told every one of them, “This is a prophet; hear him.” So it shall
be. Their leadership will be just spoken across the Body by the Holy Ghost and none will dare gainsay nor resist. And
their words will carry weight and authority in the Body, and yet
they will lead with the
gentleness of a lamb. They will speak with the tenderness of a child and
they will be given wisdom beyond their abilities – the counsel of God.
You are very influential in Heaven for in your prayers I hear you. Don’t stop praying; don’t stop praying for the things that I’ve
laid in your heart. I will tell you this, stop praying for that which has gone past, but do not stop praying for the burdens that I place in your heart now, because I’m going to put new anointings in you, new burdens in you. I’m going to change things; I’m going to change things.
So, open up your hearts and receive new mantles, new anointings.
My blessings are upon you and new service is being granted unto you.
