"THE PROCESS OF VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINTOPS"

Oct. 16, 2010

1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted bythe devil. Matt. 4

"I tell you my people, that most of the time that you spend with me isin the valley. Many aspire to the mountaintop and they want to reachhigh revelations in me. But the purposes that I draw out and therefining that I do in you, is seen in the valleys below. There is where you will come unto maturity. It is there where you can identify with me most.

Don't aspire to the mountaintops until you've come through the valleysbelow. For did I not spend my time in the desert? Was I not sentout to the wilderness? Did Moses not spend his time out there aswell?

For then when you have come out from this time, then you can withstand the enemy. Then you will be better prepared to speak to him. But know that this life is made up of valleys and peaks. For after you've spent your time in the wilderness then you are sent back out into the villages, and after you've spent some time there, then you will be refreshed on the mountaintop. Then you go back out to the wilderness again. For it is a season just as nature goes through.

For the perfecting of my saints this process must continue. For thefruit will ripen, and then the process will continue. "

"CHOOSE THE BETTER PART"

Oct. 2 evening, 2010

41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upsetabout many things, 42but only one thing is needed.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Luke 10

"I tell you my people, come to my garden and spend time with me. Pull up a chair, and sit beside me. Why hurry off and do what you think you need to do now? Many of you are Martha s. You want to be about my business, but you don't want tosit and listen to me. If you would sit down beside me then you wouldknow what I ask of you. But you would rather go off and start this organization. You are all so busy toiling at this or that. I have not asked you to be this busy for me!

You don't have to prove this or that to me. I tell you that Marychose the better part. She chose just to sit and listen to me. Martha thought she was pleasing me by doing all these things for me. But actually, it doesn't please me when you do many things for me. To be sure, I have called you to serve me, but serving me does not always mean being busy for me.

So my people, learn to be as Mary was for me. Learn to just spendtime with me. Then you will have chosen the better part."

"LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO FLY"

Oct. 9, 2010

but those who hope in the LORD will renew theirstrength. They will soar on wings like eagles; theywill run and not grow weary, they will walk and notbe faint. Isaiah 40:31

"Many of my eagles who have been hiding in the nestfor years can now begin to fly. You have been fed andnourished by my spirit. You have spent your timelistening to my still small voice. You have separatedyourself from evil influences. But you have stayed inthe nest too long. You have been nursed, but nowit is time to fly. Watch as I show you how to stepout of the nest. Watch as I take the first step offlight. Don't look down, but look to me as you beginto fly. Feel the wind of the spirit against your wings.Circle your territory. Spy out the enemy and see wherehe resides. Now you are ready. Now you can experimentand see how the currents take you. Spend some timewatching me as I soar in the heavenlies. For I AM thechief prophet. Then you will know where you shouldfly and where you should not fly."

"BOUNDLESS IS MY LOVE TOWARDS YOU"

Oct. 6, 2010

7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your wavesand breakers have swept over me. Psalm 42

"Boundless is my love towards all my people. As the ocean is,as it is boundless, so is my never-ending love towards you.With each wave of the ocean comes a new truth of mine.For the waves of the ocean are continually coming towards theshoreline. These waves are forever pouring my love out towardsyou. They are like a chorus that is ever echoing my love.So let the waves roll over you. But don't let them lull you tosleep. For most of the world is being lulled to sleep.

But I tell you that there are many in years past that have beenswept to the bottom. They have let the current pull them down.They have been like those who have had a millstone tied aroundtheir neck; and they are there on the bottom looking up at thesurface.

Don't be swept away by the world's currents. For its waves willtoss you against the rocks. But let the waves roll; let them comeand roll over you. For they are my love to you, coming across tothe shoreline."

"NOW WE SEE THROUGH A MIRROR DIMLY"

Oct. 3, 2010

12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then weshall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shallknow fully, even as I am fully known. I Cor. 3:12

"I tell you that there are two things that are very importantfor my people in this hour and they are your eyes and yourears. For I tell you 'How can you know me without usingyour ears?' And I tell you that it is important because youreyes are the windows of your soul. I tell you that your eyesand your ears go together. For you see the world through yournatural eyes, and you hear my voice through your inner spiritualears. Where would a man be if he could not see or hear?Your world is framed by the things that you see and hear.With these senses you came into this world. You saw thesethings as a young child sees them. You learned about thesethings through the world that you saw them in. And what yousaw as a young child caused you to frame things from acertain vantage point. And these things over the years havecaused you to see and to hear in a certain way.

But I would ask you to turn the lens a certain degree or two.I want you to view the world through my lens. Consider theequipment that a photographer might use. He may useseveral different lenses depending upon what he wants to takea picture of. Take the one off that you've been using for sometime now and replace it with another one. Then shift yourfocal point. You've been looking at the same view of people forso long. You have used a filter which has kept you from seeingthem how they really are. Put on my lens and now view themin a different way. You have looked at yourselves in this wayalso. Now we see through a mirror dimly, and then face-to-face."

"COME TO THAT PLACE AMONG THE MOUNTAINS"

Oct. 2, 2010

18 "As surely as I live," declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty, "one will come who is like Tabor among the mountains, like Carmel by the sea. Jeremiah 46

"I tell you my people, you must seek the narrow wayupon the road through the mountains. For on this road,you must continue. Seek the way that leads through thevale. For I am calling my people up to higher ground.Come to that place where you can survey the groundbelow. For now you can see the land that is out beforeyou.

Come out from among the caves and the places that youhave hidden. Come and walk and take the path that isbefore you. You will not find this pathway in the churches.You will not find this pathway among the avenues of man'sorganizations. For I want a people who are devoted to meand only to me.

I want a people who can hear my voice no matter wherethey are at. I want a people who are willing to forsake allothers for me. For then I will hallow you out within myhands. There then you will come to that place. You willcome to that place that is hidden among the mountains.And you will drink of that water that flows there. You willbe fed by the stream at Cherith. There I fed and nourishedmy prophet. There I sustained him before I called himfurther. "

"A WORD OF WARNING"

Sept. 25, 2010

14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets areprophesying lies in my name. I have not sent themor appointed them or spoken to them. They areprophesying to you false visions, divinations,idolatries [a] and the delusions of their own minds.15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about theprophets who are prophesying in my name: I didnot send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword orfamine will touch this land.' Those same prophetswill perish by sword and famine. Jeremiah 14

"These are the days that are heading up to my soonreturn. I tell you that America will be invaded by anoutside force. People will be taken by surprise. Theythink that the shorelines are secure. They think thatthe surveillance is high. Woe to those prophets whosay that these things will not happen. Woe to thosewho just speak of pleasant things and don't prepareyou for what is to come.

The time has come to dwell under the shadow of mywings safely. For some who have built places ofrefuge, you will be rewarded for your labors. But Itell you that you must not fear. For it is for your goodas a nation. Many will watch in wonder of these things.Don't put yourselves in a place where you can't hearmy warnings. The earth keeps spinning around andaround. Seasons come and go. These seasons willbe the ones that begin to mark the end. "

"YOU WILL WEATHER THE STORMS THAT ARE COMING"

Sept. 23, 2010 evening

10Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, takethe prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11As you know, weconsider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job'sperseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. TheLord is full of compassion and mercy.James 5:10-12

"I decree that good things will be happening for my people. I decreethat many of the long trials will cause the grapes and the fruit to beseen. For your trials will reap your rewards. There have been longyears of waiting and wondering. For these trials will produce a deepcharacter in you. For you will grow as tall as an old oak tree.

For you must grow tall and not be weak. For without growing tall andbeing strong, you will be susceptible to the winds that blow and comeupon this earth. For in the coming months great winds of change willbe coming upon the earth. Turmoil will be seen in many differentways. But if your roots go down deep within my soil then you will notbe shaken.

New programs both politically and in other ways, will not save youfrom the things that are coming. Hoarding money and saving it for arainy day will not save you. Going to church every Sunday will notsave you. Paying all your tithes and offerings will not save you fromthese things that are coming.

I am coming back for a people who are willing to give up everythingfor me. I am coming back for a people who have become as nothing. Idon't care how great your ministry is. I don't care how manyspiritual gifts you have. I don't care if you have given everythingto the poor. I am simply coming back for a people who know me. Iwant you to know me intimately. Then you will weather the storms thatare coming. "

"LET ME BE THE FATHER THAT YOU NEVER HAD"

Sept. 12, 2010

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you andlearn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, andyou will find rest for your souls. Matt.: 28-29

"My people, why can't you just rest in me? Why must youalways be busy doing this and that? You don't need toprove anything to me. Have you not known or understoodthat I just want you to sit with me and to listen to me?If you would just rest in me then you would know that Iaccept you as you are. But you think that I AM the typeof father that doesn't accept you just as you are.

I tell you that many of these problems arise from yourrelationships with our earthly fathers. Did they notlisten to you? Were you always scolded no matter whatyou had done? Let me be the father that you never had.Let me be the father that holds you in my arms. Thenyou will grow tall and reach manhood. Otherwise, youwill always be trying to be accepted by others. Otherwise,you will be seeking after recognition. "

"YOU MUST LEAVE ALL BEHIND"

Sept. 09, 2010 evening,

10Brothers, as an example of patience in the face ofsuffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name ofthe Lord. 11As you know, we consider blessed thosewho have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseveranceand have seen what the Lord finally brought about. TheLord is full of compassion and mercy. James 5:9-11

"I have told my servants that if you would follow after methat you must leave all things behind. I have said thatthis would mean family and friends and everything.I have called some to follow after me on a hard roadahead. It's not that you leave your families behind,but it means that you would put me first. It doesn't meanthat you would leave all your friends behind, but it meansthat I alone would consume you.

As the days are coming nearer to my return, I am asking ofa greater commitment of you. I am asking you to forsakethose things that would keep you from coming to me.I may ask some of you to leave churches. I may ask someof you to enter the wilderness with me again. I wastempted in the wilderness for many days, and yet, I didnot give into the enemy. There are training times for someof my servants. There are roads that lie ahead that fewhave trod. I called my prophets to walk down lonely roadsand many of them were tempered by my spirit. They weretossed by the winds. And yet they, like the great oak trees,did not break, but they withstood the winds, as thoughthey came from my hand.

But even in these sometimes parched lands of the spirit,I will cause you to lie down in fertile valleys. I will feedyou by my spirit alone. And you will be replenished.Then you will come back to the towns and the villages,and the fire within you will burn that much brighter.

But many would refuse my hand in these things. They wouldsay that 'surely the Lord would not want us to go throughthese things.' Then these would not taste the fruitthat would be released into their lives. For then the grapeswould be luscious to behold. They would shine with thenoon day sun. And they would sparkle in my garden, andbecome a place of delight for my people."

"THERE ARE TREASURES TO BE FOUND"

Sept. 5 afternoon, 2010

(We just got back from camping in the mountains a few days. It was greattime spent with friends and family. I had an opportunity to just be amidstthe mountains and streams and to just listen to what the spirit had tosay.)

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. Isaiah 45

"There is a way that would seem right to a man, but I tell you that its ways endin the ways of death. For those who would seek the world as their own, arethose who would seek the ends of their own lives. For the world and its treasuresare but a fleeting thing in this life. Those who would seek after gold and silverseek a bitter end. For true happiness is not to be found in these treasures; buttrue treasures are to found in worshiping me.

There are treasures to be found in wisdom and deep love. Dig for these thingsin the mines of my spirit. There you will find a whole storehouse of gems. ThereI have hidden mines that have never been explored. There is a whole gallery ofrubies, and emeralds, and fine gold to be found.

Do not weary yourselves out to get rich in this world. I give riches to those whowould seek after me. Seek after me---seek my kingdom and my righteousnessand all these things will be added unto you. You may not be rich according tothe world's standards, but you will reign as kings and priests in my kingdom forever and ever.

There are treasures of earth and sea. There are many things that man has yetto explore. There are treasures of deep friendship. There are treasures whenbrothers dwell together in unity. There are treasures of a beautiful sunriseand sunset. There are treasures of a new baby being born. There are treasuresof an old man's wisdom being imparted to the young. There are treasures to befound in wooded hills and valleys.

There are treasures when men and women are freed from their bondage's. There are treasures when a wise man speaks and others listen. There aretreasures in heaven and treasures in my word. But there are treasures of thosethat hear my voice that some will never know.

I have said that where your treasure is there your heart is also. Where is yourheart my people?"

"THE CHASM THAT SEPARATES YOU"

Sept. 4, 2010

13until we all reach unity in the faithand in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth bythe waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teachingand by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful schemingEphesians 4:13-14

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a very deep chasm and atthe bottom of it there was a tiny stream that ran between the cliffs.I was looking down upon the cliffs, right above where there wasa small crack or space, separating the two cliffs. The cliffs wouldclose slowly and then reopen again, showing the small streambelow. This process continued and then faded.)

"This chasm represents the chasm that is separatingmany of my people. And I tell you that it is not a chasmthat is separating believers from unbelievers; no, this is a chasmthat is separating many within my body. For it is a politicalseparation.Politics have entered into my church. "

(Again I was shown a similar scene as above, but now there were armieson either side of this chasm. Each had their own weapons and heldthem up high and shook them. Then where the chasm was it becamefilled up with water and the water caused both of the armies tocome into the water. Then the water slowly sank down betweenthe two cliffs. However, now when I looked at the cliffs, they wereactually two very huge hands. I knew these to be the hands of Godand he had been holding these two armies in his hands. The chasmthen came together again and the vision faded.)

"I tell you that this nation is torn between two views. You are notone in me. But if you could come to worship me alone and leaveyour political views alone, then perhaps unity would come to mychurch. Otherwise, the chasm will deepen and widen. "

"YOUR NATION IS TORN BETWEEN TWO EXTREMES"

Aug. 9, 2010

(I know that this word will cause some to perhaps riseup and get angry and to wonder. However, I trulybelieve that we as a nation need to turn from our presentcourse of mocking and degrading others, to findwhat we share in common as believers. Otherwise, truly,a gulf will widen between some of us and prevent usfrom being united.)

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,and giving of thanks, be made for all men;For kings, and for all that are in authority;that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour"(I Timothy 2:1-3).

"There are so many people today that are torn between twoextremes. There are beginning to be two camps ofChristians. Some are so preoccupied with things that theydeclare their party so much that it is producing hate becauseof their political views. I tell you that you see these viewson your tv screen. For they mock and degrade those who arein office. They twist the truth and promote their ownagendas.

Have I not said that you are to pray for those who are inoffice for your country? I tell you that a great gulf isopening. A great chasm is developing, and a separationwill occur. For in this way you will see your nationseparated. For the chasm will separate believers.It is not that you would be a Republican or a Democrat.For your political views have replaced your faith.You say in your heart that if a man or a woman doesnot take the stance that I do then they must not bea Christian. I tell you that you have become a partyof hypocrites! You have become as the Pharisees.I tell you that your nation is no longer united.For what do you share in common? What is theunderlying thing that you share in common?Learn to get your facts straight about what ishappening. Learn to turn your tv set off.I tell you that a civil war will develop if you don'tturn from your present mindset.

I set men in charge. I set up kings and I alsotear them down. But you have whispered yourheart as the enemy does. I tell you that theenemy is happy about these things. If he canseparate my bride then his schemes are working.But if you turn from these things, and rather,turn to me, then I will cause your eyes to seeas I see."

"MY LIGHT WILL EXPOSE THE DEEDS OF DARKNESS"

Aug. 28, 2010

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead theyput it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.Matt. 5:13-15

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loveddarkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyonewho does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light forfear that his deeds will be exposed. John 3:19-20

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a scene of a landscape. It wasevening and I saw several figures huddled upon the ground. In thesky there were shafts of light that came and fell upon these figures,as to expose them. The figures were evil in appearance. They werevile and groping in a huddle by themselves. The light shafts cameand fell upon them and then the light left and the figures wentinto the darkness of the landscape.)

"I tell you that my light exposes everything. It exposes the deedsof darkness, and it also sheds light abroad.

In me there is no darkness. For I am the light of the world anddarkness has never been able to understand the light.

But you, my people, have this light within you. You can exposethe deeds of darkness around you. For the darkness will flee.With my spoken word the enemy has to flee. Be a light to thosearound you. Do not hide your light under a bushel basket butrather keep it in front of you, so that it will shed light andfill all the spaces around you. Do not hide my light from others.Do not be ashamed of the light but rather, herald my light sothat the whole world will know of this light, and then they willturn to me. "

"A BUILDING OF THE SPIRIT MADE WITH STONES OF THE SPIRIT"

Aug. 21, 2010

20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with ChristJesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building isjoined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22Andin him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in whichGod lives by his Spirit.

16From him the whole body, joined and held together by everysupporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each partdoes its work. Ephesians 2:20-22

"Each stone is important as you begin a building together. Eachmember has its place.

(The Lord showed me a cathedral like those that were built in Europeduring the Middle Ages. I was look at this cathedral on the insidewith its beautiful windows, stonework, and pillars.)

In the past beautiful cathedrals have been created, and they were donewith human hands. Throughout the ages, I have been building aspiritual building, but I haven't been using the materials that youwould normally use. For I work with your hearts and your giftings.For you have beautiful windows and walls that have been created inyour building. Your floors are adorned with carpets and rugs fromthe finest places. But these are not the materials that I use tocreate the building.

You are all a part of my building as you bring a stone. Each stone isrepresented by your ministry and placement in the building. When abuilding is working towards completion, then its structure is sound.Have you inspected the framework and foundation of your building? Thebuilding will not go to completion until every member is doing itspart."

Stephen Hanson

"YOU HAVE IGNORED THE FOUNDATION"

Aug. 14, 2010

19Consequently, you are no longerforeigners and aliens, but fellowcitizens with God's people and members ofGod's household, 20built on the foundationof the apostles and prophets, with ChristJesus himself as the chief cornerstone.21In him the whole building is joined togetherand rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.Ephs. 2:19-21

(The Lord showed me a church and I was looking at it in 3-D so thatI could see the walls, windows and its entire structure. As thechurch building was rotating around so that I could see it, I noticed thatthe foundation which was made up of several large stones had manygaps and holes in it. In fact the entire foundation was weakened,because of this. However, the church itself was continually goingupwards, with it's windows and sides being polished and finished,as the foundation itself was falling apart. )

"I tell you, that many churches today have striven to build a churchfor me. They have all the right songs. They have all kinds ofprograms. Their walls are finished with the finest materials, but they havebuilt it the wrong way. For they have used traditional methods to build it.Have I not said that the church is to be built upon the foundation ofthe apostles and prophets with my son Jesus as its Chief Cornerstone?But many of you have gone your own way. You have built a churchthat might be pleasing to the eye, but its structure is weak.For you have ignored the foundation. For you have left out theapostle and prophet. You have said, 'No, no, I don't need them.'You have gone your own way with the traditions of man. Everythingmay look beautiful to the eye, but I tell you that it will not stand.For in time your building will sway. It will move from side to side.And in the end it will be like that house that was build upon thesand. For the winds will blow, and the walls will not stand. But if youwould have every part of the body doing its part,then it would riseup to its maturity, and it would be strong and would weather thestorms that are coming. Do not follow the pattern of tradition,but rather, follow the pattern that I have outlined in my word.Thus would say the spirit of the Lord."

"YOUR MINDS NEED TO BE TRANSFORMED"

Aug. 12 evening

(Many of us may have set our hearts upon the Lord, and wehave set our faith and hope in him. But many of usperhaps have not yet had our minds renewed. We stilldwell and think about what we can get out of this life.Our minds are a battlefield where a war is continuallybe fought.)

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the patternof this world, but be transformed by the renewing ofyour mind.

Col. 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthlythings.

"Tell my people that the time of their bondage is over. Mypeople, you were brought out of the land of Egypt withits terrible taskmasters. You were brought into thewilderness for many years. I fed you every morning, butmany of you were not satisfied with the food that I gaveyou. But now many of you have been held in a differenttype of bondage. For you are not held in bondage bya foreign hand, but you are imprisoned by your ownminds. For your heart has been set on me, but your mindshave not been transformed. You still dwell upon the thingsof this world.

Do you not know that you will never be satisfied by thethings of this world? You grab and you claw at the thingsof this world. Why can't you set your minds on thingsabove? You work out to make your body fit, but is yourspirit alive and healthy?

For truly I say to you,the bread that I give to you willalways satisfy you. For I am the Bread of Life. I satisfythose who hunger after me.

So get up every day and follow after me. So take up yourcross every day, and as you take up that cross, setyour minds upon things above. For when your minds aretransformed, then you are finally free."

"A WORD TO MY APOSTLES"

Aug. 3, 2010

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a man's robes which were whitebut they had become very muddy in appearance. I looked at theground and saw a ring which was set in the mud. It once wasbeautiful and gold, but now it was stained and was very muddy.I believe that the ring represents the signet ring which is givento the apostle, but some have misused their power and havebecome stained in their character with earthly filth and mud.)

"I would have you to speak to those who are my apostles"

"I say that many of you have placed yourselves up in a very highposition above normal men. Some of you laud your power over othermen. You think that you are high in the field of authority thatyou exert control over individuals. I tell you that if thiscontinues I will take away your ring.

And yet there are still some of you that are representing theearth as fathers. You show my heavenly love to the brethren.You are abounding in wisdom and you help each ministry findtheir rightful place in my kingdom.

Remember the words that I said: 'He who would be greatest amongyou must be the servant of all.' "

"MY ANGEL STANDS READY AT MY COMMAND"

July 31, 2010

7 After this I saw four angels standing at thefour corners of the earth, holding back the fourwinds of the earth to prevent any wind fromblowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.Rev. 7

(The spirit of the Lord showed me an angel whowas standing a certain point above the earth.He was holding a trumpet in his hand.)

There have been angels that has been set upon thecorners of the earth. There is one that is setupon the continent of North America. I have hadhim there to set watch. He is there to fulfill mymission. He has been set there to obey my commands.There has been a wall of protection. But I amtelling him that I am lifting that wall of protectionsoon because the sins of this people have reachedmy nostrils. At the time appointed the angel willblow the trumpet of decree. He has stood watchover your continent for many years. He has reportedback to me all that he has seen.

I tell you that your nation stands in the balance.You are being weighed accordingly. I am a patientGod but the sins and the lies have continued.You have continued with no notice of your actions.The time is swiftly approaching for the angel toblow his trumpet. When he does, then my judgmentwill fall.

There is still time but the hour glass is swiftlyrunning out. If my people who are called by myname would humble themselves and pray, then Iwill hear from heaven and answer their prayers.Stand upon the walls and watch for these thingsmy watchmen. There is still hope for those whohave come to me. I will save my own from thestorms that are coming; but to those who haveignored my warnings the very hills and mountainswill fall upon you."

"THE EVENTS THAT ARE COMING"

July 30, 2010

9for you are receiving the goal of your faith,the salvation of your souls.10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, whospoke of the grace that was to come to you, searchedintently and with the greatest care, 11trying tofind out the time and circumstances to which theSpirit of Christ in them was pointing when hepredicted the sufferings of Christ and the gloriesthat would follow. I Peter 1:9-11

The spirit of the Lord showed me a bundle that waswrapped up and was hidden among the reeds next tothe river, such as where Moses was hidden as a baby.The bundle was unwrapped, sheath upon sheath, andwithin the bundle there were flowers that werewrapped and were still dry and not harmed. Thereseemed to be what looked like flowers within butthe further I looked I noticed a scroll. It waswrapped and then it was unwrapped like a hugetapestry before me. As it was unwrapped therewere various images like world events that were inthe air above it. The scroll seemed to representGod's prophetic time table. Then flames surroundedthe scroll and even though the scroll had been laidin the bundle in the river, the water would notextinguish the flames that surrounded the scroll.

"Just as Moses was pulled out of the water, you willpull the Holy Spirit out of the water. For the waterof my spirit is embedded in the bundle. The eventsthat I have foretold in my word have been rushingtowards the final culmination of the ages. They arewritten down in my word, but I also tell you that mytrue prophets will proclaim these events to the world.For these are the days that many have looked into.Many in these days say that these events are faroff into the future, but I tell you truly, that thisis that last generation spoken of in my word. Worldpowers have set their stage. The rise of false prophetsand teachers has reached a height that many even inthe church, could be led astray if possible. Forhave I not spoken of the olive branch? That nationbecame a nation in 1948, and ever since that timethis generation has begun to unravel just as a scrollwould. For the events that have been written downin my word will illustrate this fact. For duringthe next two years these events will play out likeupon a chess board. You may be shaken.You may bebaffled; but you are to remain strong as an oldoak tree that is not swayed by the wind."

"PEACE"

July 29, 2010

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayerand petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, willguard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4
"Peace I give to you,not as the world gives but as I give to you.Don't just seek peace for the sake of seeking peace, but seek mefirst and then you find peace. I send forth my peace to all, butmany are too busy to find peace with me.

For my peace flows like a river. It travels the earth and findsa soul to enter. Remember my children, that your mind is abattlefield. For there within that place, there are two forcesthat work to occupy that space. But my spirit will overflow intoall areas of your life. It will permeate your fiber. It willoverflow unto others. It is like a mountain stream that cutsthrough the hills and the rocks. It fills the earth with itsnourishment.

For would not the world seek to find peace in me? They battlefor this land or that. They squander what they have. Somehoard up treasures thinking that this will give them peace.Some seek out certain men and avenues thinking that this willgive them peace. I tell you that it will not sustain you whenthe day of trouble comes. Great men of God have found peacein me. They were not those who sat in a certain position forhours on end. They were not the gurus who many have flockedto see in this hour. I have told you that many false prophetsand teachers would come in this hour. They are upon thescene now. But would you come to the only teacher? The onlyone who could fill your soul with peace.

My peace does not ignore the troubles of this world; but itcomes to help you, to set your soul like an anchor on me.Seek me first. Seek my kingdom and my righteousness and thenyou will find peace."

"THERE IS ONE MORE FIRING NEEDED FOR MY VESSELS"

July 25, 2010

20In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver,but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes andsome for ignoble. II Tim. 2

2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can standwhen he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer'ssoap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he willpurifythe Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORDwill have men who will bring offerings in righteousness,Malachi 3

Earlier today the Lord showed me a piece of pottery that hada handle on either side. In the background there were flamesand a great heat that lit up the pottery so that it shone like thesun.Now he is showing me a huge rock base that is great in diameter.Water was being poured upon this rock floor to keep it cooling.Then I saw a series of pottery that were moving on a conveyorbelt of some sort. The motion of this carried the pottery toanother area, and I looked upon hundreds upon thousandsof vessels of pottery. They were all shaped in different formsand all were moving along to a certain location. The hugeconveyor belt moved them along until it ended at a very highmountain. At this point the pottery shone with a great goldbrilliance like the sun. Here there seemed to be cave of somesort where the furnaces were, and here is where the vesselswere coming to.

"There are many vessels that have been shaped by my hands.All of them have been formed and sculpted by my own hands.I am the Master Potter and I create each piece of pottery formy own use. Do not attempt to be like someone else.I have formed you with a very unique purpose. Yourcontours and your edges are refined in just a certain way.I have made you in a certain way and that is the way that youare meant to be. But I am telling you that there is one morefiring that you must go through. There are extreme heats andtemperatures that are needed for this next firing. For I tellyou that the days ahead will test your outer cores to the limit.If you don't go through this firing then your vessels maybreak. For I want you strong and resilient. I want youstrong for the days ahead. The purging and the fires arenecessary. For then the dross will be taken away.You are my vessels; I want each one of you to be fit formy use. "

"COME SOAR WITH ME IN THE HEAVENLIES"

July 24, 2010

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40

"Spread your wings this day my people, for I've called many of youto soar with me in the heavenlies. I've called you to soar like theeagles,would say the Lord. There are many that are content just having a'normal' relationship with me, but would you not desire to be taken tonew heights in me, would say the Lord? For you can soar with meabove the troubles of this earth.

A balloon or a hand glider is carried away by the wind currents.The earth below looks like a map as the person travels through theair. I've called you to set your hearts on things above. I've calledyou to rise above your troubles on this earth. Your spirit wasmeant to fly with me in the heavenlies.

Come with me and explore the mountains around you. Be carriedaway by new heights in me. Then you will see the insignificanceof your troubles. Then you will see life from a new vantagepoint. The eagles know of these heights. But I want you toexperience them as well. "

Stephen Hanson

"SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS"

July 22, 2010

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,you can say to this mountain,'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossiblefor you." Matt. 17: 20

"I speak unto the mountains and I say that they would be removed fromyour lives. I say thatthere are so many mountains in the lives of my people. But many ofyou don't think thatyou have the faith to move them. For I say that those mountains havenow developedroots that are buried deep in the earth.For you have held and caressedthesemountains. You have enabled them to become bigger than they oncewere. I have said thatif you would have faith as a mustard seed that you could speak tothese mountains andthey would be dropped off into the ocean.

So give me the mountains in your lives. Relinquish them to me. For Iwill not getrid of all the obstacles in your lives, but if you have your faith setin me, then themountains will become insignificant. If you could see in the spiritualwhat I see you wouldsee that these things are insignificant. For they are nothingcompared to my great lovefor you. Set my word in your lives like an anchor to your soul. Letit be set there firmand without reservation. And then my word will far out rise anymountains in yourlives. "

"LEARN TO KEEP YOUR LIFE IN BALANCE"

July 21, 2010

10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth should not betray justice.11 Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness.Proverbs 16

This morning during my prayer time the Lord showed me this vision:I was walking along with the Lord. He was holding my hand and heheld a balancing scale in his hand. Then he handed it to me and Ibegan to carry it. Then there was a tight rope before me. I was walking on atight rope while holding the balancing scales in my hands.

"For I tell you my people, it is easy to get over-weighted on one sideoranother. It is easy to get overly involved in your own ministry. Ihave seta balance in nature. There are seasons marked out in the heavenlies.There is morning and there is evening. There is a time towork and there is a time to play. There is a time to be with yourfamily and there is the time to seek me alone in your chamber. Learn to keepa balance in your lives. For many of my people have gone too far inone direction. They have thought that by putting all their time andeffort into their ministry that I would then make their family lifework out as well. I tell you that this is not true. For what youspend your time with is what your whole life is emphasized with. Somethingis lacking when you do one thing and not another. The wise manis he who knows how to keep all these things in order."

"THE JOURNEY ACROSS THE RIVER"

July 18, 2010 evening

(I shared a message at church earlier today concerning this, but theLord continued it unto me now. This morning he had shown me peopledressed in robes and they were stepping across the river. They wouldwalk and then step onto a certain stone that was in the river, andthen they would walk onto the next stone. This continued as theytraversed the river with all of their company going across it to theother side.)

1 After all the people had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord saidto Joshua, 2 "Choose twelve men from among the people, one from eachtribe. 3 Tell them to get twelve rocks from the middle of the river,from where the priests stood. Carry the rocks and put them down whereyou stay tonight."Joshua 4

"I have come to tell you that even as I brought the children of Israelacross the river Jordan; even as they were brought safely across it, Ihad them set up stones as a monument in commemoration for what I haddone for them. I am telling you that I am bringing each or youacross, and there are stones that are set in the river. These stonesrepresent a certain time in the life of you all. They are a point inhistory. They are a point of your life in history in me. And even asyou begin to walk across, I provide a place for you to rest in it.For I will take you safely across onto the other side; but there are"stages" of your life in me. There are rocks in the river. Theserocks are certain junctures. They are places in your life in me. Andyou will look back over time, and you will gaze over those rocks; youwill know that they represent certain times in your lives.

I brought my children of Israel safely over onto the other side. Theystepped onto dry land. But I tell you that there is dry land evenupon the rocks. My children, it is a journey that I have for youall. The promised land does not have to wait until the other side.For there is a promise with each step that you take. My promises arefulfilled when you take each of those steps in me. For then your faithis put into action. "

"THE BREAD OF LIFE"

July16, 2010

‎2 Why spend money on what is not bread, andyour labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me,and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richestof fare. Isaiah 55

35Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to mewill never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.36But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.John 6

"The bread of life is what my servants must be eating of. For thebread of this world will never sustain them. The bread of this world will growmold.But the bread that I give to you is new and fresh each morning.Remember that I fed my people in the wilderness. I fed them with themanna from heaven; but some hoarded it to keep it to themselves. Becauseof this it too became moldy.

Do not hoard up unto yourselves treasures upon this earth. For theywill not endure.But look to me for I will give fresh revelation each and every day.It is not the revelation that comes from this world. It is not the knowledge ofthis world. For everything here is temporary. But what I have given unto you isfreely given.

I freely gave my life unto you. I laid my life down for you that youmight have the bread of life. Eat of my body this day. Let it fill you.It will sustain you for the journeys of each day. "

"FACE TO FACE"

July 10, 2010
28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dreamdreams, your young men will see visions.29 Even on my servants, both menand women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. Joel 2

11 The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with hisfriend. Ex. 33

"What has happened to many of my people? Have I not said that if any of youwould lack wisdom that I would give it unto you? Many of you interpret thingsaccording to the world's standards and not my own. Remember in the courtof Pharaoh that the wise men and astrologers were called in to interpret theking's dreams? None of them could except for Joseph and Daniel. Have Inot given each of you a way to interpret the spirit? You say,'I had a dream,I had a dream!' I have said in the last days I would pour forth my spirit.I said that your old men would dream dreams and your young men wouldsee visions. But these are not meant to be difficult things to understand.Would that you would be like my servant Moses. For I spoke to himface-to-face.

For if you would need to know a person you would talk to them face to face.I have a hidden language. I have the language of the spirit. It is given untoyou to know the deep things of my spirit. But I am now asking you to godeeper. For many of you have been in the shallow part of the water. Youhave been wading in my spirit. Deep calls unto deep. "

"LEARN TO DISCERN THE TIMES AS THE SONS OF ISSACHAR DID"

July 9, 2010

32 men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with alltheir relatives under their command; I Chronicles 12

5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who thinkthat godliness is a means to financial gain.6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we broughtnothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. I Tim. 6

"The mountains quake and the islands receive the winds of the earth. The earth is encircled by the windsthat blow upon it.

Men fight wars over boundaries and wars, but the greatest war rages in their hearts. Wars will continueuntil I come back for my church; but I say unto you oh church, don't get caught up in the wars aroundyou. For many of the world bites and claws one another to get the things of this world. Be content withwhat you have. For godliness with contentment is great gain. Learn to be content in whatever stateyou are in. Many in this world seek after riches; but I tell you that I will take care of your needs.If I have an eye for the sparrow, and I know whether it falls to the earth or not, then would I also notcare about you?

Even some of the church is involved in getting rich schemes. I tell you that many have fallen prey to thisfalse delusion. I have said that there are many false and delusional teachings in this hour. For some lifta certain part of my word out of context and then they distort its meaning.

Many also point to fearful things that are coming. I tell you that difficult days are coming; in fact somehave already come here. But if you look to me I will safely take you through the storms that are coming.Truly I say to you, the signs are everywhere. There are clear makers that show that I am coming soon.But learn to be wise in discerning the times. Be as the sons of Issachar who knew how to discern thetimes that they were living in.

Be not caught-up in new movements that speak of a new move of my spirit here or there. Learn tobalance my word with these experiences. For some would worship the experience rather than me."

"THE EGGS WILL HATCH OPEN"

July 8, 2010

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings likeeagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

(The Holy Spirit showed me an eagle that was soaring in the sky. It glided through the air andthen settled down upon a nest. I looked below where the nest was and now saw several eggsthere. But as I continued to look closer, the eggs appeared to change. They were actuallysmall children who were nestled in their beds sleeping. There were hundreds and hundredsof them all tucked away sleeping. Then the eagle gathered them up and held them in his wings.He began to fly and gathered them all up in his wings and flew away. )

Then the Lord said to me:

"This means that I watch over my young. But it also means that there are young ministriesthat I have been caring for. They have been safely watched in my nest; but I am nowflying with them. They have been safely nestled, but I will soon release them."

(Again the eagle was soaring and was clutching several of these eggs. But now slowly onewould be dropped into the air and it would crack and open-up in mid-air. Then what was oncean egg, would now begin to fly and soar like the eagle. Several of these eggs would be droppedfrom the eagle, and each one of them would then crack open in the air and would begin to fly.Now the eagle took just a few of the eggs in his clutches and came back to the nest.These eggs were then nestled safely back into the nest again.)

"YOUR STATUE OF LIBERTY WILL FALL"

July 7, 2010

13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulgethe sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The entire law is summed up in asingle command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] Gal. 5:12-14

"Peace I say to you, not the peace of this world, but I give you a peace that passesall understanding. Why must you seek the peace of this world? For it is fleeting andhas no substance. "

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a vision of the Statue of Liberty. She was standingerect as she does, but then she was waving a piece of cloth in her hand, as ifmotioning something. Then she fell to the ground.)

"I tell you that peace will not be found in the world around you. For you have certainfreedoms now that are evident in your country now. But the time is coming when thatstatue that stands for freedom will fall. For it has stood in that place for many years,but because you have pursued after other things, because you have not washed yourhands of the bloodshed and the violence, your freedoms will be taken away from you.

For your nation is filled with the sounds of crying children. Your nation is filled withviolence in the streets. Your nation is filled with corruption at the highest level.I tell you that you have not made yourselves clean in my blood. You have notwashed the stain of sins from your hands. You stand erect as a nation poisedand proud of your achievements. You have excelled in many areas. You are doingamazing things in the area of science and research. You are working in yourlaboratories at the most minute level, but your moral depravity has reached a levelthat far exceeds any of these. There is still time, but it is swiftly running out.That statue that once stood for freedom has now pronounced a freedom that isslowly dying to you. You cannot erect a new one. For what is seen in the naturalwill not displace what is seen in the spiritual.

He told me that this word needs to be spoken and shared. He said that "Your sonsand daughters will not have the same freedoms that we now share."

"TWO VISIONS AND THEIR MEANINGS"

July 1, 2010

11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,which is Jesus Christ. 12If any man builds on this foundation usinggold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13his work will beshown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will berevealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man'swork. I Cor. 3:11-13

The spirit of the Lord showed me a vision of an old wagon that wasbeing drawn by horses. The wagon was covered and there weredifferent types of tools and implements in it in the back of the wagonsticking out. The covered wagon traveled up and down throughoutthe land, and then suddenly a man from the rear part of the wagonshot something into the air that landed in front of me. It causeda nearby plant to wither and shrivel up. The plant used to be healthyand robust, but now it was dying.

[The Lord said to me that this first vision means that some areusing the prophetic word for their own gain. They prostitute theword of God. They are building their own kingdoms. And becauseof this it will not nourish that which it was sent out to do--(The plantwithering and dying.)]

The scene changed and now I saw a man that held a telescope in hishand. He kept surveying the landscape before him and then zoomedin to a place in the distance. Here the land was serene and beautiful.There was a river that ran between trees on either side as the suntouched everything with a beautiful light. Then men begun to walkout of the land there. They were carrying huge logs in their armslike lumberjacks would do. They kept walking and marching beforeme as they carried these huge logs in their arms.

[Men have found resources in the land around them. Where the wordof God is preached and sown, there are resources that are availablefor them. The logs are used for their own lives. These tools becomeuseful in your everyday lives. ]

"I tell you that there are many ministries today that are building theirown kingdoms. It has become their own kingdom and not mine. Isurvey the land and I look out to see those ministries that are buildingfor me. Will others be nourished or will they die in the process?The choice is yours. "

"HOW CAN YOU GO TO BATTLE WHEN YOUR EARS ARE PLUGGED?"

June 30, 2010

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a manstanding in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua wentup to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?"14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD Ihave now come." Joshua 5

"Seek me above the mountains and the streams. There is a still smallvoice that is talking to you. Amid the noises and the chaos of this world,there is a voice that you can hear.You can trust this voice. You can hearken to it.

What happens when the world does not hear my voice? I will give youan analogy:

There is an army that is approaching a certain land. They areimmobilized and ready to strike. The general gives the orders for them to strike,but everyone has their headphones on. He repeats the orders but no one can hear him. What happens? I tell you that they lose the battle.

The same is true in the spiritual realm. For I tell you that I speakto many of you. But you are too busy listening to the other voices around you. Many are not ready to go forth in battle for me. Their ears are filled up with thesounds of this world. I say 'unstuck them' so that you may go forth in battle.But most of you would rather speak than listen. "

"WHICH VOICE ARE YOU LISTENING TO?"

June 28, 2010

2The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3Thewatchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. Hecalls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has broughtout all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheepfollow him because they know his voice. John 10:2-4

"There is a way that seems to be right to a man but in the end thatway is the way of death.

There are too many voices in this world. There are voices from theright and there are voices from the left. There are voices that speakof the political scene that you are living in. There are voices thatspeak of justice. There are voices that speak of man's sin andinjustice to all.

Who are the voices that you are listening to in this hour? What arethey saying to you? I tell you that my voice will always lead you inthe right direction. I will never lead you astray. Each man must findhis own road in me. There are many bible teachers and prophets in thishour; but some have their own agendas. Your agenda should only be tohear my voice and to be obedient to its calling upon your life.Otherwise, you may be hearing the voice that is leading you in thewrong direction. "

"THE TRUE IMAGE OF MY BRIDE"

Jun 19, 2010

12 For now we see through a mirror, a puzzling image; but then [wewill see] face to face: now I know partially; but then I will knowjust as I also am known. I Cor. 13: 12

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a person who had a wreath aroundthem. At first it seemed to be a wreath, but the more I looked at it Inoticed that there were chains on it as well because there were linksof chains going all throughout this wreath. But the strange thingwas that throughout this chain were parts of cymbals and tambourines.This person was attempting to praise the Lord through the use of thesethings, but really couldn't of course, because of the chains aroundtheir neck. Then this person walked towards a small pool of water.There small ripples began to appear and then an image appeared. In theimage the person was seen, but now the chains were falling off. Theperson was looking more and more joyful and free.)

"This person represents my church. For some time now my church has notbeen free. She has attempted to sing praises to me, but she isencumbered with many things. She has sung to me but she has been heldback. She has carried a load of many years. She has carried a load ofguilt and shame. But I truly want her to be free. If she could seeherself as I see her. Look at yourself how I see you. I long for youto blossom into the bride that I've called you to be. Don't focus onyour shortcomings. Yes, your garments have become sullied, but I willmake them white as snow.

The wedding day is not too far off. Gather your flowers and gatheryour maids of honor. Come into my sanctuary. No need to go throughall the ceremony. I just wanted to see you now. I just wanted to lookupon you. For you are my bride. Now go out and dance in the meadow.Be free and let the wind blow through your hair. And always know thatI see you how you are becoming."

“IT IS TIME TO STEP ONTO THE FOOTBRIDGE”

June 14, 2010

14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has calledme heavenward in Christ Jesus.15All of us who are mature should takesuch a view of things. And if on some point you think differently,that too God will make clear to you. 16Only let us live up to what wehave already attained. Philippians 3:14-16

The spirit of the Lord showed me pieces of wood that were laid outthat were attached to twine or rope. It was the type of stuff that isused to support people as they walk on a foot bridge that goes betweentwo cliffs. These were then attached to both of the cliffs and Inoticed that there was a deep chasm below. One could travel acrossthis footbridge but they would need to be quite careful and not lookdown into the abyss below.

Then he said, “That is the way that many must cross onto the way ofmaturity. For I am calling you, my children, into a higher place inme. But you must walk this way with confidence and trust in me.For few have been able to venture along this pathway with me; but I amcalling you up higher in me. I am calling you to a place ofsacrifice. I am calling you up to a higher place of trust. Eventhough this way may look untrodden it is strong and secure.So step into maturity, my children. Know that the planks and theropes will hold you; and they will take you safely onto the otherside. You know that you can’t stay where you have always been. Youcould become too accustomed to the surroundings around you. It istime to show me your steps of faith. “

"I AM THE ARTIST"

June 12, 2010

20In a large house there are articles not only of gold andsilver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes andsome for ignoble. 21If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he willbe an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Masterand prepared to do any good work. II Tim 2:19-21
(Towards the end of this prophetic word, I saw the Lord working withvarious things in his hands. He lifted up a sculpture and placed themon the table in front of him. It was made of gold and wood. As he setit down I noticed that it resembled a cathedral of some sort. It hadthe various spires and columns that an early Renaissance cathedralwould have. Beside this one there was another one somewhat like it inappearance. Then he set a smaller one down that was of a figure. Itlooked somewhat like the David that Michelangelo had done, but it wasshimmering and of gold. It shone like the sun and was polished. He setit down on the table also. )

"The world does not see you my children, but I see you, says theLord. For many of you have been hidden from the eyes of the world.Many of you have been in places that they do not see. But the mainreason is their eyes are blinded by the spirit of this world. For thespirit of this world has put a cloak around their eyes.I see you the way that you are becoming. I see you through my eyesand not your own.For you see your sins and shortcomings. You are forgiven for all ofthese. Many of you are too hard on yourself. You have to walk beforeyou can run. You have not reached mature manhood yet; but that isalright, know that I love you where you are at. It is not aperformance thing that you are after for me. It is my spirit workingin and through you. Do not strive and do not compare yourselves withothers. For I have made you a certain way and you are like no other.You are my beautiful creation. You are mine alone and there is nonelike you. I have chiseled you and made you into the image that Iwant. Is not every painting and sculpture that an artist makesdifferent from other ones? I am the artist, let me do the work. "

"I AM COMING BACK AS THE LION OF JUDAH"

June 5, 2010

18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing withthe glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eagerexpectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creationwas subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the willof the one who subjected it, in hope Romans 8

Zephaniah 1:14-15 "The great day of the LORD is near-- near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of theLORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. 15That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish,a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a dayof clouds and blackness,

"I tell you that the earth is in travail. The earth and everything in itawaits eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed in it.

I have said that my judgment would be poured out upon this world.Judgment is meant as a "wake-up call" but who is awake and whois asleep? For most of the world acts as if life goes on as itusually does. But I would say, 'Arise oh sleepers' for I amworking in your midst. For where will you run to when themountains crumble to the sea? What will you do on that great andterrible day?

For men will cry out to me. They will look to the mountainsto fall on them. I tell you that for some it will be too late. But Ialso tell you that I will protect my own. I will hide my own peopleunder the shadow of my wing.

But many are still as scoffers. They say, 'Where is the return ofhim who was promised?' And so, they look to their own devices.They look to technology. They look to science. They look toeverything but me to save them.

Will your psychics save you on that day? Will your leadersprovide a place of safety? The only one that will save you on thatday is the Chief Cornerstone. For I am the stone that thebuilders rejected. I am the Lamb that was slaughtered for you.But I am coming back as the Lion of Judah. "

"THERE IS A PATTERN THAT I HAVE SETFOR ALL OF CREATION"

May 29, 2010

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8

(The Lord showed me a scene of the planets as each one of themfollowed a certain orbit rotating around the sun. Some wobbled alittle as they went about their orbits in space, but they all followeda certain course that was laid out for them. )

"The stars are all set in order. The planets follow an orbit aroundthe sun as I have set these orbits. All of the heavenly bodiesfollow a course as I have set for them.

As this is true with the heavenly bodies so it is true in each ofyour lives. I have a course set for each of you to follow.If some of you don't follow this course that I have laidout then you would 'spin wildly out of motion.'

There is a pattern that I have set for all of creation.There is purpose to everything that I have set.Don't deviate from the purposes that I have set for you.You will see this pattern from the smallest moleculeto the largest planet and system. There is alsoa certain course that I have laid out for this worldto follow. For my prophetic time table is laidout that is decreed for my time to be followed.For the end of days and all that is to be doneis laid out in my word. I have a purpose toeverything. "

"THE LATTER HOUSE WILL BE GREATER THAN THE FORMER ONE"

May 23, 2010

2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heavenand filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw whatseemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on eachof them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speakin other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2

"Let the wind below upon you today from my Holy Spirit. For even as Pentecost came and tongues of fire were distributed upon the people, so today let that same fire be ignited upon you.

The fervor, the same power, is here now as it always has been.Remember that my servant Joel prophesied about these things.But I tell you that a greater outpouring of my spirit will comeas it never has before. For in these last days a greater measureof my spirit has been released. Many however, do not seek afterme and so all they find is the sound of empty brass.

But the fire will come. The rivers will be poured down upon you.For I have said that the later house would be greater than theformer one. You are my latter house. "

"MANY ARE SEEKING THE WIND

May 22, 2010

24 No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.Isaiah 40
"These are the days that many are chasing after the wind. Formany are seeking answers, but they don't know where to findthe answers. Where is the answer to be found for life'sproblems?

"Behold, I tell you that I hold the keys. I hold the keys of lifeand death. But many are still chasing after other "keys."Many are seeking psychics and soothsayers in this hour.But I tell you that the answers that are to be found thereare easily blown away. For it is as the chaff that is blownaway from the wheat. What they are seeking after is the"chaff."

"THE ROAD THAT FEW WILL TAKE"

May 20 evening,

10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to his tent. 11 The LORD would speak to Mosesface to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent. Ex. 33

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a scene of a craggy mountain side. At a certain place on one of the sides of the mountain, there was an area that was being inhabited. It was like unto a citynestled into the side of the cliff. I was viewing this scene from a far. The spirit of the Lord then said.)

"This is where a lot of the prophets have been camping out for some time now."

(I then returned to the vision from before. Now I saw a narrow pathway that was riddled with stones. Behind me a hand held out a torch in their hand to show the way that one was to go now upon the path that led out of the city. I followed the pathway for a while and noticed that it traversed right up to the edge of the cliff and wound its way along the cliff's precipice. The way was very narrow and dangerous, but one could walk along it with the torch in their hand.)

"I tell you that this way has been traveled by few. Those who know me; those who have endured through many hardships, and through sorrows uncounted, have come this way in the past. Many want to be "safe" and to stay within the city, but I'vecalled you my servants to travel higher. I've called you to see me face to face. I've called you to be like Moses. Travel up higher that you might see my face."

"DON'T LOOK AT THIS PRESENT EARTH"

May 18, evening, 2010

New Heavens and a New Earth

17 "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. Isaiah 65

"I tell you that man has come to a point where he is prostitutingthe earth. Is it not enough that man is corrupted by the thingsthat he reads and what he sets his heart to do? For as he attempts to find gold within the earth he devastates the very earth that was created for him to enjoy. For in his greed and in his folly,he digs within the depths of the ocean to find the precious oilthat he seeks. How many oceans will he pollute? When is itenough for him?

In the beginning this earth was created as a place of beauty.I set man and woman in the garden to till it, but they fell frommy grace. And the earth has been ravaged year after year.It has been bent and laid waste in so many ways. This wasmy creation. I tell you that many have sown seeds, but theyhave given rise to plants that have been corrupted. And Itell you that these seeds will give rise to more and moregreed. For in man's heart he desires more and more.So is it the way of this world.

But you oh man, set your heart upon things above. For there,neither rust nor moth will destroy. I have put it in the heartof every man that he would seek those new heavens andnew earth. For I tell you that the day will come when thisearth will be destroyed by fire. It will be consumed.But I tell you that my plan is that the new heavens and newearth will exceed the grandeur of the first garden. And inthat place there will be no more room for selfishness orgreed. For I will tend to my people as a shepherd wouldhis sheep. So let the oil spills come. Let the wars comeas they would upon this earth. Let man's sin continue asit always has. For the King of Kings and the Lord ofLords is soon to come upon this earth. "
