YOU WILL KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME

5/30/18

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 1 Peter 3

"Do you think that I would not want all to come into my kingdom? I tell you that I would not want anyone to perish, and yet many will. Many will perish in the days to come. For the truth has been proclaimed.

When the fire and the fury comes upon this land, many will hide and withdraw in fear. There will be a great separation. For even now the goats and the sheep are being separated. Many are even now in the process of building places in the wilderness. There will be places of sanctuary. And those who partake in this work will find that they will be kept safely away from the invasion that comes.

When that time comes, be ready to strike out. Take only what is needed. For the journey may be wrought with set-backs. Don't place your trust in those leaders in the land. For military might and power will not save you on that day.

But the time is not ripe yet. You will know when it is time..."

EVEN WITH THE GREAT DARKNESS THAT IS COMING, AN EVEN GREATER LIGHT WILL BE SHED UPON MY OWN

5/23/18

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:26 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. John 14:12

"Shut yourselves up and go into your prayer closets. For that day that comes will test your strength and resolve more than any other day in history. I ask you my people, to prepare your hearts, for many will lose their confidence. Many will be in fear, and many will lose their faith. But I've asked you to be strong unto the end. I've asked you to persevere through everything that comes.

I have told you that in this world you would have tribulation. I have said that you would face all kinds of various trials. But the trials that will come, will be much more severe. Men's hearts will fail them on that day. Many will have escaped, and have gone into the caves to find safety. I have said many times before, that your entire nation will be invaded. It will come when you least expect it. It will come from the far reaches of the north. Your surveillance systems will detect it but it will be too late.

But to those who put their faith and trust in Me, you will do great exploits on that day. You will walk as the men of old did. You will overcome the enemy. You will drive the demons out of the land. For you must know, that even with the great darkness that is coming, an even greater light will be shed abroad on my own.

Persevere my people. "

"WHEN THAT DAY APPROACHED NEARER, YOU WILL KNOW INDEED, THAT THESE THINGS ARE TRUE"

5/22/14

22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear , nor know : and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified : 24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written . 25 And this is the writing that was written , MENE , MENE , TEKEL , UPHARSIN . 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE ; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL ; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Daniel 5

"The day is coming; the day is surely coming when my people will know that the day of the Lord is near. For it will come with a great sounding gong. The heavens will open-up and my Son will come.

That day and that hour is approaching nearer and nearer. For as many are called, I have set them apart for my purpose. But don't think that that day is coming without a division. Don't think that that day is coming without a price to pay. For the very earth of your United States will split open. Gone will be the days of comfort for many. Gone will be all of the beautiful homes. For your very land has strayed far from Me. You were birthed as a new land and blessed by my hand. But you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Many of you have professed my name but you have strayed far from Me.

Many will be begging for food and water on that day. Many hearts will fail on that day. But many of those who know Me and are aware of the days that we are living in, will lead this people out to the new land; for the territories and the boundary lines will have changed. Entire cities will be vanquished because of the devastation. For the final stroke will have been laid. The angel that stands guard over the United States will be giving the final stroke by my hand. For the water will spread its hand upon both coasts. On that day you will know indeed, that these things are true.

How many of your churches in the land warn my people for the days that are coming? How many indeed, speak the truth from their pulpits? I can raise up a child to speak the truth for Me. As it was in the early days of the church, so it will be again. For they met in various homes; they didn't have the trappings of your churches of today. And yet they knew the truth; that truth gave them a boldness to speak. And yes, they were imprisoned, they were beaten, but they refused to deny my name.

On that day when many are taking the mark of the beast, will you go along with them, or will you believe in Me no matter what? The one doomed to perdition will come upon the scene soon. He is not one that many of you think he is. I have warned you, and now when that day approaches nearer, you will know indeed, that these things are true."

YOU STAND WAITING FOR MY SOON RETURN

5/18/18

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Rev. 1 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev. 22

"My people, you stand waiting for my soon return. You have waited for many long years. You have viewed the world's stage wondering when all of the events of the final stage will culminate. Many have their eyes upon Israel now and yet there are other events soon to take place.

Many still look for a king to deliver them from all of their troubles. Many think that a future ruler will be their king; and yet my kingdom is not of this world. A ruler will come but he won't be the one that many think will be the anti-christ figure.

Many have always speculated about this figure; many have wondered through the ages. And yet when the time is ripe, it will all be plain to see.

The world stands upon a precipice; the foundations of this world will crumble on that day. For nations fall and stand at my command. War can break-out at any time. What seems like peace right now in the dealings with North Korea could change at any time.

And yet eyes are always upon certain players thinking that they are the only ones to watch."

THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE WILL BRING ABOUT THE RUIN OF YOUR LAND

“I HAVE A ROAD DESIGNED FOR EACH OF YOU”

5/19/18

“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Matt. 19:29

Verily, verily I say unto you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. John 12:24

“I’ve asked some of you to walk as Enoch had walked. I’ve asked some of you to speak as Jeremiah spoke. I’ve asked some of you to give your life away; to lay it down for your friends. I’ve asked you to sacrifice everything and to give it away. For my Son gave his own life. He laid it down so that you would have a life that is not your own, but his.

It is not just a matter of the words that you speak that make you a follower of mine. It is a life that is given over to mine. In order to live this life you must be willing to lay it down for others. I came unto my own and my own received Me not. You must be willing to be persecuted. For I was misunderstood; I was despised and rejected. A seed must fall into the ground and be buried, and then it begins its growth.

The world will cause you to face many problems, and those who desire riches will fall into a trap. But I say, to be satisfied with what you have. For godliness with contentment is a great gain. And yet it is also true, that I long to bless my servants, for even Abraham had many possessions. But he was willing to leave his own land and to go to a place that he knew not.

I have called many of you in this hour to leave homes and families. For through these journeys you will then know of the roads that I walked. You will meet the stranger on the road. You will see the downtrodden. You will see the hurting and the lost. For I have a road designed for each of you; and yet, I go there before you. “

“I CREATE A PLACE OF SAFETY UNDER MY WINGS”

5/15/18

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91


“Is there nothing that I can do, says the Lord? I can build a place where you can run and hide to, but it is not in a building or something that you would build with your hands. For I would create a place of safety under my wings where you would run and hide there. For in the coming days darkness will increase, and many would wonder where they could go.

But I will remain a strong tower to those who put their faith and trust in Me. You will find strength there for it is a place of safety. For there is no bunker or hidden chamber upon this earth, that would provide you a greater sense of security.

As the world is rocked back and forth by the tensions that are ever-present in it, and as wars loom on the horizon, my people will scramble looking for places of refuge. And yet even as some have chosen to build places of safety, those bulwarks will not compare to the safety that is under my wings.

On that day when the darkness increases all around you, look to the one who formed the mountains. On that day look to the one who separated the light from the darkness. As the tensions increase in the Middle East, do not place your hope on a holy city, but rather put it in the soon-and-coming-king.

All kinds of fury will be flung at my people in these days, and the tribulations and the trials that you face will intensify, but my strength and power, will propel you forward. Do not try to pin-point all of the events in history, for the times are in my hands. But rather know that the book of prophecy is being fulfilled in ways that you cannot even know. “

THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE WILL BRING ABOUT THE RUIN OF YOUR LAND

5/10/18

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Rev. 6

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18

"Do you not know, and have you not seen and heard, that judgment is falling upon this nation? For the stage is set, and the horse of war, the red horse, will ride across the land. Those plans that have been made to circumvent treaties will spark and ignite another war.

For the man in the white house will bring about the ruin of your land. He thinks that his change in policies demonstrates strength and resolve, but I tell you that it will bring you to war! For it is in his heart to set himself up as a great king, but his pride and arrogance will be his ruin.

A wise man and ruler would listen to his advisers, but he is bent on destruction. Watch and wait and be ready when the signs are seen. For surely, you are on the edge of ruin. Those prophets who prophesied that he would be a Cyrus have been seen for what they are. For the king does everything for himself and for him alone.

Oh foolish people who lauded for a man who promised them great things! Oh foolish people who have twisted these things into your own minds! You have been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting.

You have made an idol unto yourselves. There is the sign of a 'false peace.' And you know full well when they say 'peace and safety' that sudden destruction will come upon them. I control the game, my people. I AM the God of this land. Do not think that I would let a mere man take control over everything. But my purposes are involved in this. For when everything comes to a head, and the nation falls prey to outside influences, then some will come to Me. For when the buildings fall, and the great quake tears your nation in half, then perhaps some will know that I AM God.

But it is too late to think that I will make you great oh land! For you have turned to your own gods. You have sacrificed on every hill. You have killed the innocents and your depravity has reached to my very throne. You think that I will bless a nation that has gone astray and has blasphemed my name? You will be brought to the ground, and you will see how far you have fallen! "

“WHY DO THE NATIONS RAGE?”

4/28/18

Psalm 2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

“Why do the nations rage? For the world is in turmoil, says the Lord. The nations rage because they don’t know Me. They fight and fume and look for this and for that. Everyone thinks that they have a reason to fight for what they think is theirs, but I tell you, that I own the cattle on a thousand hills. But on that day when all the wars are over, they will beat their swords into plowshares. For I will set-up my everlasting kingdom and no one will enter into it that has defamed Me. All sorrows and heartaches will be gone. The sound of weeping will have been gone forever. And all will go up to the mountain to praise my name.

But for now you have many heartaches and struggles. For now you will continue to have wars. For now men will struggle against one another. It is time, very soon to enter into my ark; for the waves will come hitting against your nation. You will fall, oh nation; for you will be taken into captivity, but I have a remnant. I have those who have known of these days ahead. They have purified themselves and have been tried in the furnace of affliction. And that furnace with all of its heat, has melted away the dross. It has consumed many of my servants, but it has tried them, and has made them into vessels fit for my kingdom. You see it has been necessary, for without these trials, you would not have been prepared for the days ahead. For when the mountains quake and the seas rise, you will stand erect. You will stand as pillars in the midst of the assemblies. The fire and the smoke will rage all around you, but you will be kept safe. I watch over my own and I will keep you from the evil one.

Thus would say the Spirit of the Lord.”

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah 2:4

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10

"WHAT DO YOU SEEK BELIEVING THAT YOU WOULD FIND IT?"

4/24/18

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1 Cor. 1:26

"How many of you came from a noble birth? How many of you were chosen from a royal heritage? I tell you that I have chosen many who came from a heritage that was not of a royal birth. Your heritage is from my Son. For He came into this world and his own received him not. Don't be surprised if the world does not receive you. Don't be surprised if the world does not understand you. For they did not understand Me.

Go your way among the lost and forsaken. Seek those who are shunned by this world. I came to seek the lost. You will find Me if you seek Me with an earnest heart. You will find Me if you look for Me as a pearl that was hidden in a field. What do you seek believing that you would find it? The world seeks for riches and fame, but I have come that you would die unto yourself and then find your life in Me.

And yet my birth came from the root of Jesse. For out of the heritage of David came a Savior who would come to all mankind. And yet they looked for a king to save them; but I came as a lowly servant. For my kingdom is not of this world. The kingdoms of this world will all fall. For I will come for my own on that day and you will see Me; and then you will join with Me riding on those steeds as I come in the clouds on that day. "

"MY HAND WILL NOT ALWAYS COVER YOUR NATION--IT IS BEING LIFTED NOW"

4/21/18

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 1 Chron. 12:32

"Do you think that you will always be kept safe from the storms that are coming? Do you think that I will wink at the sin that is so prevalent in this land? I have waited and waited to see how many would turn from their wicked ways; and yet, there is just a handful.

The clock is ticking...I tell you that time is running out. For many of my prophets have been warning you and yet you are still ignoring them. My hand will not always cover your nation. It is being lifted now.

You think that the man in the White House has come to make things better? I tell you that it is quite the opposite! You will soon find out. You have already seen the turmoil and the chaos. And yet many of you still hope in the depravity of a man and pretend to look the other way when you know in your heart that this evil poison is not from Me.

You have gone your own way. You are like the blind leading the blind, and you will both fall into the ditch. But I have a remnant; I have some who have the discernment to know what is ahead. These will not give into the beast system. These will not follow the status quo. These will stand as lights in the darkness. "

"I AM DOING A NEW THING"

4/19/18

Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43: 19

"Be of good cheer, for I AM doing a new thing, says the Lord. I AM doing a new thing; can you not see it? It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun, but I tell you that there are new things coming forth in my spirit. From the rising of the sun unto its setting down, there are always new things.

Why would you always be looking backwards? Why would you always be looking backwards to the former things that I have done in your life? For there are new developments now. There are new things that I AM working in your life. I AM always moving forward, says the Lord. I AM always creating new things for you.

For is there are not always a new day? And with each and every new day there are new possibilities. Even if one would look out upon the horizon they would behold those things that are in the distance; and so as you see things in the distance, they are not in your present scope of things. But if you wait they will come forth.

Even with the coming darkness that is all around you; even with the imminent threat of a new war upon the horizon, there are new things that I want to give unto my people. For I want her to be equipped and ready for the troubles that are ahead. I want her to be ready for what is coming.

I want to strengthen you for what is ahead. I want to increase the gifting that I have placed within you. I want to open the windows of heaven so that you will see the promises that I have given unto you. But I also want your arsenals of the spirit to be strengthened. For with the new things of the spirit there will also be new attacks from the enemy. For he knows that his time is short, and he will pull out all of the stops available to him. So increase your armor---strengthen and be equipped. "

"HOW LONG WILL YOU TOIL IN THE DUST OH MAN? "

4/9/18

Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Gen. 3:23,24

"There is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof, is the way of death.

Do you not know, my people, that my ways do not end in death? Do you not know that my way is the way of life? I have come to give you life, and that you would find it through my life. For without Me, there is only an empty following after the fallen dreams of this earth.

There is a life-force that I have breathed into man. It pulsates and would cause the waters from my holy throne to enter into the heart of man. Everything in this world was created through that life force. I breathed into man that life and I gave him my Spirit. And in the beginning he was given a rightful place to tend my garden. But he fell from my grace, and ever since then, he has been toiling in the dust to find answers. And he has looked to the earth for those answers.

How long will you toil in the dust, oh man? How long will you be following after the garden that has fallen?

"CONSIDER THE DAYS AHEAD"

4/7/18

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6

15 For thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They shall drink and stagger and go out of their minds because of the sword that I am sending among them. Jeremiah 25

"My people, I'm asking you to consider the days ahead. For the earth is in much turmoil now. I tell you that many of the things mentioned in the book of Daniel will be coming to the forefront. For the kingdoms of this earth vie for human control and power. The angels of the four corners of the earth stand ready for my command.

For those nations that have planned together for years are working together for a scheme. They have been devising plans to come into power against your land of the west. You think that you are such a powerful nation that nothing will stand in your way. All power comes from my hand and not your own. Your great leader will fall on that day. For his pride will be his demise.

Do you not see where your path will take you? Do you not see the chaos and division that has come to your land? For you were born in freedom but many of the things that you have taken for granted will be lost on that day.

The statue that resides in your harbor will fall on that day, and you will become like Israel when she was taken off to Babylon. Would that you would have come to Me. Would that you would have put on repentance. The hour is very late, and the hands on the clock cannot be turned back.

And yet am I not a God of mercy? Many have known and have seen my mercy. But you have continually walked away from Me, says the Lord. You have gone after other gods, and you have put other things before Me. "

"WEAR MY BLOOD AS A CLOAK ABOUT YOU"

3/29/18

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

10 And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zechariah 12

28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matt. 26

"Reach down deep inside you my people, and I will tell you where I reside. For on that day, I will come with glory in the clouds. The long-awaited return of my Son will come. Those things promised will come. All of the trials and all of the tribulations will have been worth it. They will look upon Him whom they have pierced. Those that did not believe upon my Son will see the futility of their way.

For I reside in the heavens above, and yet each heart that knows Me has made their heart my home. My Son carried all of your sins upon that cross. His agonized death was wrought for you. As you meditate upon this season may you consider all that He has done for you.

For as the seasons come and go you are getting closer and closer to His return. The blood that was spilt was poured out as a libation for many. But many have not received it...But it was freely given...But to those who have received it I have given them the treasures of my kingdom.

I have asked you to suffer with Me. For in this world you would face many trials and tribulations, but if you know Me then you will triumph over them. Be ready, for as the days grow darker you will need my blood to cover you. Wear my blood as a cloak about you, and then the evil one cannot harm you."

"WHAT WILL THE FATE OF THIS LAND BE?"

3/25/18

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thess. 5

"What will the fate of this land be? What will happen to those who have put their faith in the arm of the flesh? What kind of world will your children have? Will the land ever be healed?

Your land will be invaded. Your guns and your artillery will not save you on that day. For at the stroke at that hour, everything will change in an instant. How does one prepare for these things? How does one store up enough food and everything else that is needed for that day? Do you think that your underground bunkers will save you from the onslaught? Do you think that equipping each man, woman and a child with a gun will save you? You have been led down a road that you cannot return from now. Danger is right at the door waiting. And yet you have scoffed at those who have warned you of these things.

Will your government be the one that protects you? No, because the one at the helm now would rather start another war with a foreign land. Those who have prophesied of him will finally see their own demise in it. But you were birthed from those who desired freedom from afar. Many have fought for your freedoms in the past, but soon many of those freedoms will be gone.

And yet to those who put their faith and trust in Me; you will be glowing lights to a land that is falling into darkness. "

"DON'T GET SO CAUGHT-UP IN THE STORMS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE MY PROMISES"

3/22/18

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

"In the morning hours I would speak if you have have ears to listen. To those who would come to Me I would shelter you from the storm. To those who would come to Me I would give you new life in Me. To those who are weak and downtrodden, I would lift you up and give you new hope in Me.

Each and every day there are new promises. Grab a hold of the ones that I've promised you in my word. I have come to make your life more abundant in things that would be over-flowing in your lives. I have come to bring you joy. You will always have troubles, but I will cause you to triumph over them.

The past is gone and all of its misgivings. This is a new day in Me, says the Lord. I will bring you into your fullness and create in you a new man. But you must learn to weather the storms that gather around you. The storms come and the storms go, and they have their purposes.

But don't get so caught-up in the storms that you can't see my promises. "

"THE MAN OF PERDITION"

3/11-12/2018

(I know that this prophetic word may well not be received by some and that is what I expect. But I must remain true to what the Lord has called me to speak. I have never been one to follow the crowd, or to follow what others may be speaking in this hour. We are living in tumultuous times, and so many in the body of Christ are being deceived. We are told that these things would happen and they are. May we learn to discern what is true and what is not.)

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. Daniel 8

36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Daniel 11

"I tell you that Obama is not the anti-christ. The one that is coming is already here. He is the one who boasts of many things, but he is bringing the nation to ruins. He is a divider. He will divide people. Many of you have jumped upon a band wagon thinking that the one to come is the one that many think of. Have I not said that the 'little horn' boasts of many things? Look at those characteristics in the book of Daniel: One who is a lover of materialism--One who is the god of fortresses--One who is insolent and proud.

What would you be led to believe, my people? How will you know so that you won't be deceived? You have been led down a road believing what others would tell you so. Your eyes are blind and yet I can open them if you would allow me to. You have wanted a savior to lead you out of the messes that you are in, and yet I AM the only one that can do that. What is popular is not always true. What seems to be right may well be false.

There are false prophecies and dreams that speak of the one to come, and yet many of you don't have the discernment to see. I have told you that you would know them by their fruit; and that fruit should be plain to see by all.

It is time to go back into your prayer closets. It is time to put away your preconceived ideas. It is time to put away your favorite prophecies. Don't follow what the crowd says. I have said that if possible even the elect could be deceived and...you are.

What would you say to a people who are so easily misled? How would they come to know the truth? How would they be misdirected and led apart from the truth? These are those who follow after conspiracies rather than sitting before Me. How can my people come to know the truth if they are seeking what other men have said? You are a foolish people.

What other tasty morsels of false prophecies would you seek today? What other lies would you believe other than the truth? You who have sat before Me in the past; at one time you could hear my voice clearly, but now you have added your own interpretation to my words. Now you have misled many in the body of Christ. When will you admit that you have been wrong? The blood will be on your hands. This nation is very soon to come to ruins, and yet some of you laud a leader who is now at the helm.

Oh generation who has been birthed in many things...Oh generation who has come to know the truth. You have my word neatly tucked away in your leather bibles. You have your favorite bible verses. You have your favorite bible teachers. But you have ignored those who would speak for Me, and so it has always been. "

Amen,

Stephen Hanson

"I AM THE GOD OF THE BROKEN-HEARTED AND FORLORN"

3/8/17

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

"Enter into my presence, says the Lord. Find the time to spend with Me. Go past the mundane hours of the day. As you grasp my hand I will give you glimpses of eternity. I will bring you past the worldly cares. You will behold the places that I have ordained for you. The things of this world will slip away from you. There is so much that can consume you. There are so many cares and worries of this world. But I've asked you to give them to Me. Whey do you carry these things, my people? Have I not said that my yoke is easy and my burden is light? There are so many people that walk the streets alone. There are so many people who are without a shepherd to guide them. I AM the God of the broken-hearted. I AM the God of the lost and forlorn. And yet, I AM also the God of new-beginnings. I can bring you hope when you feel hopeless. I can bring you joy when no joy can be found. I can lift you up and bring you to solid ground. If all seems meaningless I can make it meaningful. When the world closes in around you then I will be your hiding place. For I once was despised and rejected. I was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. I walked the earth as a man who was also the Son of God; so I know how life can treat a person. I experienced the same joys and sorrows that you have but I rose to be with the Father. I rose again that you might have new life in Me also. There is freedom in Me. There is freedom in Me to run like a child in the fields. There you can throw-off every weight that consumes you. There you can let go of any grievance against another. There all sins will be blotted out. And there perfect love will cast out all fear. "

"MY WORD WILL COME FORTH WITH SUCH CLARITY AND PURITY THAT THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WILL EMBRACE IT"

3/6/18

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55

"You my people,you have been brought through many winters. You have weathered many storms. You have been brought through many joys and sorrows. You watched the sun set and rise again. And with every season the time ahead has appeared to be longer and longer. And yet I will tell you that the time is close at hand. For the time of Jacob's Trouble is upon you. You stand at the door. You stand at the door. For as the wind has blown,it is blowing dust off from the surface; it is going to reveal what lies underneath the surface. For the time is at hand for the gathering of my people. I AM calling forth my angels from the four corners of the globe and they will be heralding a call, a trumpet message to prepare.

You have been hearing message after message from various prophets in this hour. Many have been speaking and warning you of what is soon to come. Each one of them has spread their own message and they have sent the arrows flying but some have not quite hit the mark. For some have gone way past the mark that I had intended. And as they have released those arrows into the sky, some have fallen into the ground. Some others have also picked up those arrows and run with them. For they grabbed those arrows thinking that they came from Me. And then false words have gone out into the ends of the earth. But I tell you that it is time for clarity. It is now time for clarity of my prophetic word to come forth. No longer will my word be 'muddied' down. No longer will man pollute it with his own.

Now at this time in history a new word will come forth. It will come forth in such clarity and purity, that the angels in heaven will embrace it. For the crystal sea that is before my throne shines with such a brilliance and it reflects the glory of my Son. But now I will personally watch over each of those arrows that are shot and I will watch as they perform the mission that I have intended them to do.

I AM sharpening those arrows for their performance. Each and every one of them has been fashioned by my own hands. The job will be completed. I will make my servants like arrows in this hour."

"WOE TO THOSE WHO PREACH PEACE AND SAFETY"

3/4/18

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thess. 5:3

"My people, what would you seek from Me in this hour? What would be the purposes of your heart? What would be the things that I would show you? Do you think that all would be well with your land and that peace would ultimately rule? I tell you, woe unto those so say that peace will come. Woe to those who preach peace and safety. Woe to those who preach a different gospel other than the one that I have spoken to them. Have I not said that judgment must first begin with the household of God? And now you don't even realize that the dominoes have begun to fall! When will you awaken from your slumber oh church? You rise early to watch your favorite news reports, but when would you sit before Me? Even now chaos is spreading all around you. Your government is in disarray and falling apart at the seams. And yet you still laud your new-founded leader and have treated him like a golden calf. The fall of this man will be great.

At a time of weakness your land will be invaded. Because of your weakness and because your eyes are ever upon your ever-consuming chaos, this is why you will fall prey to outside influences. And yet you say that you are well. You say that you are righteous. Your righteousness is as a filthy rag to Me! You care not for the poor or the under-privileged. You care for a whole host of other things rather than for the things of God.

But I have waited and waited. I have waited to see who else would come to Me. For it is but a short time before all these things must fall. I have asked many of you to get ready and you have continued to go your own way. But you will be left to your own devices when it falls.

But I have a remnant. I have a remnant who will be ready in that hour. They have been purged and brought through the fire. They have been brought through many seasons of affliction, and they will come out like gold in this hour.

My people, you need not be afraid. You need not shrink back in fear. But get your houses in order.

Thus would say the Spirit of the Lord."

THERE IS A PLUMB LINE

2/28/18

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. Zachariah 1:16

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

"There is a plumb line. There is a plumb line that is being drawn in the Spirit. You may not readily see it but it is there. That line is a demarcation that would show you a border, a place, where you must not enter into. A plumb line is set for various reasons, and yet in this case, a line must be drawn in the Spirit to show you what is right and what is wrong.

For you have entered into a time frame where the winds have blown over through the annals of time, boundary lines which were at first drawn. The earth has boundary lines that separate the land from the sea. There are lines drawn that separate your countries. But there are other lines that are not seen and yet they exist in the Spirit.

For there are portals in places upon this earth where the angels have come and gone through the millennia of time. And I tell you that in these last days those portals have widened. There is much activity going on in these spheres. There are combat forces at work that are making their devious plans. Their orders have come down through Lucifer himself; and they have met with various leaders throughout the globe. There is a plan that they are devising and it has been whispered in the ears of some in the Russian camp. And then these same fallen angels have gone with their message to others in the Chinese camp. And so, strategies are being made in secret between these two powers. It all began first with a whisper in their ear; it all began first with a devious plan by the enemy. And then the plan is formulated. And now that plan is forming from a seed that will in one day, come to fruition. For you see, their plan is to invade your land.

This is the way that the enemy of your souls work. He whispers first as an idea or a plan. And then over time that idea grows in your heart. Many of you aren't even aware of the things that he has whispered to you. The reason is because you haven't been able to distinguish between his voice and mine.

And you see, just as there are certain portals in the earth, there are also certain portals within you. That is where the enemy of your souls can enter in through. But you can keep those portals clean before the enemy. You can keep the entrance free from debris."

" The eagle, the patriotic symbol of your land, is soon to lose his plumage"

2/21/18 evening

“They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.” Psalm 94:6

19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8 21 They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.

"My people, those who are called by my name, I come to you with tidings of what will soon transpire. For this nation has faced much bloodshed. It has seen the rise of evil as it has spread its dark cloak. That cloak has spread its wings of bloodshed in many avenues. The enemy has stirred up hatred with many youth who have been troubled. But the young in the land are marching in ways like they did in the 60's. Their cause is just and their zeal will continue. But I tell you that the establishment; those who govern this land, will not bend as some would like them to do. The eagle, the patriotic symbol of your land, is soon to lose his plumage.

For a great war is on the horizon. The beating of drums cannot be heard, but in secret plans are being made. For with the developments of the investigation surrounding the involvement of Russian meddling, the pot is being stirred-up. The deceit will be found out. The slow and steady process that has been going on will eventually pay off.

But chaos will reign in the land. Attempts will be made to curtail the violence; but the heart of the wicked cannot be stopped. Wickedness will increase in the land. I have said many times about the division that is so prevalent, and it is about to reach a boiling point. Why do you think your very own children are marching? No....these things will continue.

The one who has sat upon his lofty throne will eventually fall. The golden peacock will lose his splendor. And then the land will be divided. It will be parceled off. The attack will come suddenly though the mists of darkness. Some of you have said, 'But if my people would have prayed then surely this would not have come to pass.' But how many chances would you have been given? How many times was I to look the other way when the senseless acts of violence have been carried out? How many of you have listened to those prophets that I have given to you? No, instead you have shunned them. You have labeled them as mad men and fools. What other words would I have spoken to you instead? No, go ahead to your psychics and tarot card readers. I'm certain that you'll find your answer there.

I have wept over you. I have seen how you have treated the stranger. I see how you have treated the orphan. I see how you reward the rich. And I see how the poor are always begging for food.

Your government will topple. The very steps of the White House will crumble, and your land will be taken over. But for now, go ahead with your favorite talk show hosts. I'm sure that their delicacies will fill your empty stomachs. You are a land that is so split that you don't even know what the truth is. And the one at the helm now has just brought more chaos upon you. You have been found wanting. "

PUT ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT THAT WOULD KEEP YOU FROM FOLLOWING AFTER ME"

2/12/18

28“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matt. 11

Therefore, seeing we also are compassed about by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1

(During this message the Lord showed me a scene of people walking along a road and all of them were bent over carry packs of their belongings. One lady in particular had a pole across her back and there was a pale of water on one side that she was carrying. At one point, I saw the Lord reach down and take the heavy loads from the people, and then He put them on His back. There was a horse and the Lord was upon the horse, and I saw Him reach down for a young child and He lifted her up and placed her beside him.)

"Put aside every weight that would keep you from following after Me. Every weight has a way of accumulating and building into even heavier weights. Many carry the loads of weights that have been building and building over the years. Some trudge through this life attempting to walk out their days but they, as it were, are walking through mud.

These weights can hinder your walk with Me. I say to lay your burdens down at my feet. I say to throw them down there and leave them there. Pack horses are meant to carry heavy loads. How would one go on a long journey if they had to carry everything on their back? But many of you would rather carry these things than give them to Me.

The road has been long and you are weary for the many travels that you have made. But I walk these roads with you. And if you would, you can release those burdens that you have been carrying for so long. Allow Me to carry them for you. Would that you would allow Me to carry you through the difficult days that are ahead. You can't do this on your own. I AM the only One who can bring you safely through the days that are ahead. These days will be wrought with trouble on either side. Many will fall by the wayside.
 
You cannot be strong in your own strength. If you attempted to walk through these days alone you would surely be left by the wayside. A runner runs a race and he does it by conditioning himself. You must take on endurance for the road that is ahead. "

THE MANTLE OF SUFFERING

2/10/18

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 2 Tim. 2:12

Verily, verily I say unto you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. John 12:24

"What do many in the church have to say about a life of suffering? For without suffering how would one come to know the person and identity of my Son? How does one come to realize the importance of suffering? For much of the world and even the church, does not know that they must give up everything in coming to know Me?

For without suffering man wants to have the best of my life; the fruits of the kingdom without going through the process. What is the process, you may ask? Is the process to acquire more things and to build up your own kingdom? Is the process to gain more knowledge and to heap-up about yourself a following of other men and women? Or is it in coming into a deeper communion with Me?

The church wants more of the blessings that I would give out. The church wants more entertainment. But how many in the church have taken on my mantle of suffering? For have I not said that you must suffer with Me because I had suffered? A seed must fall to the ground and die in order for it to produce. You must die in order that you would live.

Many of you will be brought forth and will come into my kingdom; and yet, you will come just by believing in Me. For the word of faith will save you on that day. But you will have missed out on a deeper communion with Me; and the deeper communion with Me is becoming like Me in every way. It is in taking on the form of a servant. It is in letting go of your former life. It is a life of embracing the cross. Many can recite these words and yet, how many actually embrace them? How many have taken up their cross daily for Me?

You will be poured out like ointment and many of you will be crushed for my sake. The world does not know the workings of my Spirit. The world seeks those things of the world. But if you would want to know more of Me then you must also be willing to to take upon yourself the mantle of suffering."
