A Recent Encounter: Embrace the Awe of Almighty God!

The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy? Amos 3:7-8

A Divine Veil of Light

Recently, I was overwhelmed by a heavenly visitation. Without notice, I received one of the most significant and captivating encounters of my life.

I was enjoying an ordinary day with my family in Texas. I had much to do to prepare for an upcoming ministry trip to Europe, so I excused myself to retreat to my study. As I arranged some papers on my desk, I heard a slight sound behind me. Thinking it was my wife or perhaps one of my grandchildren, I casually turned around to see who was in the room.

Without warning, I found myself in a spiritual realm. There suddenly appeared – just inches in front of my face – a living, incandescent wall of translucent light, suspended within brilliant, blue-green waters. The waters were glowing and luminous – and also alive. A soft swishing sound came from the moving mass of living liquid light, much like the sound of wind through trees.

This glorious wall was a divine veil reflecting the most stunning, alluring rays of brilliant light I had ever seen. They were refreshing beyond words. Astonished, I wanted to absorb everything I could from within that veil. Its purpose seemed to be to enlighten and refresh.

Suddenly, He Roars!

All of my senses were extremely alert as I admired this breathtaking veil and wondered what was about to transpire. I reflected on how peaceful, tranquil and good I felt, when suddenly, without warning, a magnificent LION exploded from the wall of living light. This was an enormous, fearsome creature, a gigantic lion of golden-amber color whose mane radiated a halo of golden light. He was tall enough to look me straight in the eye. In fact, He locked his eyes on mine, gazing into my eyes with such intensity that I knew He was looking into my very soul. As I returned His steadfast gaze, I felt I was peering into eternity.

I wanted to flee from sheer terror, but also wanted to embrace this wonderful being from another realm. This Lion had an extraordinary fierceness, but from within this indescribable strength and power an overwhelming gentleness also radiated. I was amazed at the warmth and love pulsing within Him, and the peace and sense of protection that exuded from His presence.

Our eyes were locked in a gaze for what seemed to be a very long time, when suddenly the Lion opened wide His mouth and began to roar. The roar was unlike any sound I had ever experienced – ear-piercing, overwhelming, and indescribable. Mere words simply cannot convey the force and beauty of that blast of breath from another world. This massive roar lasted for quite some time and released a vibration and reverberation that shook the heavens and earth – and felt as though it could be heard and felt throughout the entire universe.

Standing within that divine current of the Lion’s roar, I felt a divine invincibility. Before I had time to ask, I understand the nature of the roar: Within my spirit, I heard the words, ”The breath of God.”

As suddenly as the Lion’s roar began, it stopped – so swiftly that its absence created a vacuum that sucked the air and sound from the room. Out of that deep, sublime silence a booming voice from Heaven rang out with a holy declaration that shook my entire being. The voice surged with supernatural power and authority:

“Prepare My people to embrace the awe of Almighty God!”

And then the beautiful liquid light disappeared also, as swiftly as it came. I stood trembling in my office, my heart pounding hard and fast, my spirit ablaze with the fire from Heaven’s altar.

At this point, in a quiet, comforting and convincing tone of voice, the Holy Spirit said, ”Yes, prepare the people of God to embrace the Awe of God!”

The Spirit then explained that much revelation would be released concerning the Lion of the Tribe of Judah – a revelation that would produce the holy, wholesome fear of the LORD….

The Fear of God, the Awe of God

Indeed, the Lord spoke a very stern warning to me, saying, “Warn the people that I am not as easy to get along with as some preachers have made Me out to be!”

What does this mean dear brothers and sisters in Christ? We must never forget the truth that “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God” (Hebrews 10:31). The writer of Hebrews further admonishes us, entreating us to fear the Lord:

“Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear“ (Hebrews 12:28).

This Greek word translated fear is eulabeia, which means reverence, piety and veneration. Veneration and piety are not mere religious formalities. Yes, we can “act” pious and not feel true reverence in our heart – but the Lord will see through our whitewashed gestures.

Although some Christians have feigned reverence through the centuries, we cannot dismiss the authentic and vital experience of holy fear and trembling before the Lord as just “the form of godliness” or man’s empty religion. The fear of the Lord is more than ritual – and has not been replaced by the New Covenant of grace. To be sure, when a revelation of God’s grace grips our soul, the deep reality of our heart will become holy circumspection and discretion before the King of the Universe! We will not approach God casually, nor with a religious spirit, but with “godly fear.”

This same word translated fear, the Greek eulabeia, is only used one other time in the New Testament – to describe the holy reverence, piety and veneration of Jesus Christ Himself for His Father God:

“Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared…”

If Christ Himself feared the Father “with strong crying and tears,” how much more shall we offer up holy prayers and supplications in the fear of the Lord? Indeed, we are instructed to not only serve God with fear, but with awe. We’ve all but forgotten this most precious and vital disposition of the heart.

The fear of God and the awe of God are inseparable. If you fear God with a holy fear, you will stand amazed and reverent; if you feel the awe of His majesty and omnipotence, you will most certainly experience a godly fear of His power and sovereignty. In truth, you cannot be in awe of the Lord without a holy fear.

The Greek word translated reverence or awe in the above verse of Hebrews 12:28 is aidos, which suggests not just modesty but actual bashfulness – a healthy shame for one’s own lowly status. This awe is a holy reverence whose essence is a profound, unspeakable wonder, the deepest honor and respect imaginable, reserved for the King of kings. This is an awe that cannot humble itself enough, cannot bow low enough and cannot be thankful and worshipful enough before the One who gave His life for us.

God is Indeed a Consuming Fire

Beloved, we must rekindle a holy awe, reverence, honor and respect for the glorious Lamb of God and Lion of Judah, Creator of the universe! Let’s consider another translation of Hebrews 12:28-29:

Let us therefore, receiving a Kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; for our God [is indeed] a consuming fire.

How do we offer the Lord “pleasing service and acceptable worship”? With nothing less than “modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe.” And why do we offer the Lord this piety, fear and awe? Because God is a consuming fire.

This Greek word translated fire is none other that pyr, from which we derive our English words relating to actual fire, such as pyrotechnics. To be sure, this pyr of God described in Scripture is real – uncontrolled, scorching, dangerous and wild. This pyr isn’t referring to a fancy metaphor or analogy, like a “fiery” personality or a “fire” of passion in the belly. On the contrary, the word pyr occurs 74 times in the New Testament and most often refers to a quite literal substance that burns, scorches, and imparts power: Hell fire; everlasting fire; raining fire (as Lot and his wife experienced); tongues of fire; blood, fire and smoke; the fire of the burning bush; and flames of fire – the eyes of the Lord Himself – and more.

This fire of God is described in a very specific way: God is a consuming fire. This word translated consuming is from a Greek root that means to use up entirely and to destroy. From this Scripture, we learn a most important lesson: God is not a cozy campfire providing warmth and a comfortable circle of fellowship. Neither is He a fire we can control by turning a burner dial. His fire is of an entirely different substance and purpose than any fire on earth. It is not for our personal use and enjoyment. We cannot control it. We can’t understand it. We can’t compare it to anything or anyone we’ve ever encountered – or will encounter.

Just as C. S. Lewis wrote of Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia, “He is not a tame Lion,” we must say of God that He is not a controlled burn. He is not a torch we can carry casually. He is neither a match head we can strike at will, nor a lamplight we can turn on and off.

No, His fire consumes. His fire destroys or gives power and life. His fire is Resurrection. His fire creates universes. In truth, His fire commands our fear and awe.

Are we prepared to become intimate with this consuming fire? The first step is learning how to approach God with fear and awe! And great rewards are in store for those who do. If we truly fear and reverence the Lord, great promises are ours:

“O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear” (Psalm 34:9).

But if we learn to abide in the fear and awe of God, the even greater reward is the manifest Presence of Christ Himself!

Intimacy vs. Familiarity

Unfortunately, this godly fear and holy awe have been replaced by a yawn of familiarity in our modern Church. The consuming fire of God has been reduced to a mere candle flame on the pulpit or in our prayer closet, or – at best – a handy “pillar of fire” that guides us along the way.

We wrongly assume that we can approach the Lord casually and blithely according to our own timetable and needs. We use Him like a flashlight when we desire guidance or revelation. We sit beside Him as a warm stove when we are cold. We crank up our reliable and familiar “God fire” to meet the need of the moment.

May it never be! The modern Church must learn the vast difference between mere familiarity and true intimacy. True intimacy speaks of love and affection. With true intimacy, we experience deep, sincere and abiding appreciation. Intimate friends are consistent in their kindness and care for each other. They bond deeply and continue to grow together in honesty, transparency, togetherness, trust and mutual sharing. They know each other’s secrets. They share each other’s burdens. They love spending much time in each other’s company.

Ask yourself: Am I intimate with the Lord or just a casual, familiar acquaintance? We must ask the hard questions. Do we fear the Lord or just “use” Him to fill the lack in our lives? Do we have the vaguest idea of the type of power we so casually invoke?

The condition of the modern Church is, at best, sad and extremely troubling. Many sincere Believers have accepted a distorted concept of the God of the Bible by whittling Him down to a manageable person. They refashion God to fit their own expectations and to serve their own selfish desires.

Beloved, we have exchanged the magnificent glory of the incorruptible God for heathen gods suited to a sin-soaked nation, gods compatible to a self-serving culture. The result? Biblical awe is lost! The holy fear of the Lord is lost! We have reduced our worship to programs and performances. We have heaped praise upon ourselves instead of heaping reverence, piety and unbridled worship upon His Majesty! We have appropriated His anointing and giftings for personal use, building ministries, careers, publishing ventures and reputations instead of His Kingdom.

It is sad but true: visit almost any worship service on Sunday morning and you will likely find a wonderful, well-meaning congregation comfortably relating to a deity who fits nicely within their particular doctrinal positions. We have constructed our own so-called god to back our own plans, visions and social concerns, molded into our comfort zone. This is a “god” that can be explained and controlled by the carnal minds of mere men and women – the minds of Christians with personal agendas, who have not died to themselves and the world.

God’s plan is to make man in His own image; however, Christians are attempting to make God into their image. The seeker-friendly, non-confrontational, Cross-removing church will not prepare the Body of Christ for the days we are facing!

In a church like this, no wonder we find an absence of holy awe and the fear of the Lord! We have dared to approach the Almighty God with our many desires and needs, yet feel no awe, no trembling heart, no bated breath, no sweaty palms, no shaky knees – no reverence. The atmosphere of most churches today – and even the prayer closet of most Believers – is diametrically opposed to what we find in the Scriptures, where the glory of God filled the temple and no one could stand, where worshippers prostrated themselves before the living God.

The Lion Will Roar!

But do not despair, dear Believer. There is mercy, deliverance and hope for His Church! Rest assured that the casual, carnal attitudes of the modern Church are about to abruptly change!

We are about to be introduced to Almighty God as the roaring Lion of Judah. God is restoring holy awe and fear to His people – and as this righteous and wholesome fear of the Lord returns to the people of God, the manifest Presence of the Lord will also return. Expect to see God reveal Himself in such magnitude and glory that the mouths of the people will open wide. Expect no less than jaw-dropping experiences.

Let us ponder the response of John the Beloved, the disciple who was of all men most intimate with Christ Jesus. Notice that when John encounters the risen, ruling Redeemer on the isle of Patmos, he falls to the ground with no breath left within himself. John did not casually or nonchalantly give Jesus a “high five” and go merrily on his way:

“When I saw HIM, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, ‘Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last’” (Revelation 1:17).

How will we learn to rightly fear and reverence the King of kings like John the Beloved? The Holy Spirit is our Teacher!

Come, you children, listen to Me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord. Psalm 34:11

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, fall on your face and cry out to be changed! Ask the Lord to soften your hard heart and impart a living revelation of God as a consuming fire. With your whole being, implore Him to teach you “to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord.”

Ask, seek and knock until true awe and fear are branded upon your spirit and soul, until you no longer approach the Lord casually but as a trusted, reverential friend. Seek to become an intimate of God – not just an acquaintance who assumes too much.

Beloved, “Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4:8). This is His promise – He will draw near to us in turn – but understand that we must only draw near in the holy fear and awe of the Lord. Herein lies the secret of true intimacy with the King of kings!

I would like to comment on the ministry that predicted the judgment day was supposed to happen last Sat.  Many of us with prophetic gifts do make mistakes.  Sad to say many people were deceived by this and probably hurt within a ministry –  which I am very sad about.  I have warned about not being deceived, we must be wise virgins.  The difficulty is some of what these messed-up prophetic people use is in the Bible.  Earthquakes – Revelation 16:!8.  Wars Matthew 24:6,7  Famines Matthew 24:7.  In the days of Noah, Boy lots of floods today.

Another thing I have taught is God doesn’t tell just one person.  He speaks to His body.  Find some prophetic people you respect and bear witness in your Spirit to.  God will speak in this age to more than one.  These things will increase until that great and awesome day of the Lord.

Some will scoff at these false predictions which will harden people to the real event.  Satan will do miracles, be not deceived.

The Truth is Jesus and by His Spirit He will work many miracles.  Stay close to Him and His Word.  Study to find what He says.  Know His Voice.  Test what you hear with the Word – that is your plumb line.  Jesus will come soon, for sure and in the meantime I shall draw closer to My Beloved and I want Him to find me working in His vineyard, lamp full of Oil, ready and waiting for My Bridegroom.

End times – Insight from God

Trleanscribed by Beverly Clous

This is an amazing time in My Kingdom. Yes, a great clash is happening and there is becoming a chasm between My Kingdom and the kingdom of the world. You will see many things transpiring that will startle you and I tell you ahead so you will not be unprepared.

I do not like in any way, shape or form blasphemy. I have set your nation of the United States of America as a Godly nation for My Divine purposes. It has been that way ever since I established this nation through the people I sent here many years ago and set forth this country with its early leaders. I gave them My Divine Plan. Yes, sometimes they got a few of man’s ideas in their establishment, but mostly it is My Plan.

Now your leaders are saying this is no longer a Christian nation. Your leaders are saying many things that are not true. You can easily see the a front of Christian principles being eroded into whatever pleases man’s selfish desires. They have forgotten the true Ruler of this nation. I choose to use your leaders, but they have forgotten or chosen to ignore Me. They no longer seek My direction. They operate from their carnal perspective persuaded by the kingdom of darkness. You are seeing unfolding the prophecies contained in My Word of the one world system.

I call you to stay strong in My Kingdom. I call you to hold on to My Truth. I call you to seek My Presence. John 8:31, 32 declares “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” Be good disciples and know – to understand, agreement with fact or reality, actuality – the whole truth of My Word. If you don’t know My Word you will have nothing to come into agreement with My Spirit.

I have told you satan is the father of lies. I have, also, told you I AM GOD AND I CANNOT LIE.

I am telling you truth so you can be prepared to move in My Power and in My Might. I have been preparing you to be a strong tower for My people. I will pour out upon you who have heeded My voice a Presence that you have not walked in before. This is a season in which I will open up the Heavens and pour out My Spirit in great measure. You will be revelers of My Divine Presence. You will be temples of My residing holy Presence.

I will have a people who will not be deceived nor be led astray. My people not only hear My voice, but they heed My voice. You will know one another by the Spirit of My Son, Jesus. There will be great strength and unity in this Ecclesia that I am Shepherding. Even though the days of this world and your nation are growing darker, My Light will get brighter and brighter. I call you to look up.

You will walk in the manifest Presence of God. You will minister in My glory cloud. You will be filled with the Holy Ghost and Fire. You will rejoice and be glad. You will stand in awe of Me. These are those days I spoke of as great and mighty days. These are the days of Elijah, Moses, David, Isaiah and all the prophets. These are the days as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These are the days as of My Disciples of the New Testament.

I call My Ecclesia to rejoice and praise Me. Be in prayer. Be obedient. Be faith filled. Be My people, whom I love unconditionally. Love one another as I have loved you. Christ in you the hope of Glory. It is a season of My anointing, My glory and My Bride. Watch it unfold. Have your eyes focused on My Kingdom. It is indeed at hand. Heaven upon earth as it is in Heaven. Those who have been walking a surrendered life will find this time very exciting. Yes, you will be in the world, but not of it. Therefore, when you see these times of trouble grow stronger, you will be strong in Me. You will see harvest time as people have nothing else to trust in and will see My people moving in power and might. They will notice My Kingdom has what they will not find in the world’s kingdom.

I have called you to be upon the earth for such a time as this. Many will find the Ministry I have ordained for them break out. The preparation time for many of My saints has been fulfilled and the time for coming forth is upon you.

(I hear REJOICE, REJOICE, REJOICE in a loud booming Voice) Yes, My people rejoice and again I say rejoice.

I want you to know I love you more than you can comprehend. I want you to know the Victory is won. I want you to know the angels and the great cloud of witnesses are helping you. I commission you to go forth with fresh anointing this day. I ordain you as My minister to work in My Ecclesia. I bless each of you. Again, I want you to know I love you.

Your Heavenly Father.

I keep hearing that over and over and it is always three times in a row. I sure do believe God is warning us to not be lulled into the deceitful ways of this time we are upon the earth.

The dictionary tells me deceit is deception, trick, to believe an untruth. Syn: beguile, betray, mislead.

The Expository Dictionary of Bible Words says “The most common word for deceit is planao, which means to lead astray or deceive by words or behavior. The Bible uses this word when speaking of the influence of false teachers. It is also the word chosen to speak of satan’s final effort to deceive at history’s end. When the New Testament warns not to be deceived (1 Timothy 4:1), it expresses the writer’s concern that we might be led away from the Christian message or lifestyle.

I believe some of these words which we hear in these days are transparency, clarity, everyone knows this is the truth, only this person can do this job, they are are too big to fail, don’t use the Name Jesus it may offend someone, don’t display a cross that may offend someone. Even many Christians are trying to please this culture by agreeing with these deceptive practices. Don’t preach about sinful practices or certainly hell or even Heaven.

I put this piece of transparent material on this letter to remind you to lift the veil of this world and look clearly at what is said or demonstrated. You will not be a part of everyone if you are serving Jesus and are a disciple. What these leaders are saying must line up with the Truth of God’s Word. We seem to be easily led astray almost like the frog in boiling water. Lulled to sleep. Hey Church WAKE UP! Take the blinders off your eyes. Do not let people who have great oratorical skills lead you away from the true Christian principles. There will be many things coming ahead that will cause each of us to take a stand. It will not be popular. But God will have a people – His Ecclesia!! I want you to be able to make a clear choice with the Truth, the Way and the Life. We need to know what the Word says so we can make a good choice.

Another word aplanao indicated ethical enticement. Deceit is a trap or trick and thus involves treachery. Deception sometimes comes from within, as our desires impel us to deceive. But more often in the NT, deceit is error urged by external evil powers or by those locked in the world’s way of thinking. (Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words).

God in His great mercy and grace has been very patient with each of us and for that I am thankful. But He is warning us to keep in His wonderful Kingdom. Let the Truth keep you free. Saints “Arise (from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you; rise to new life) Shine – be radiant with the glory of the Lord; for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!

For behold, great darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness all peoples; but the Lord shall arise upon you (o saints) and His glory shall be seen on you.

And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Lift up you eyes round about you and see.” Isaiah 60:1-4a the amplified bible.

The days ahead for God’s true followers are more wonderful than we can think or imagine. So look up for our redemption does draw closer and closer. But we have a work to do. God has each of us here for this time in all of church history. The Harvest is ripe and we will join with His called out ones and the angels to be sure our Father’s House is full. Stay strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might. It is all about Jesus and doing what each of us has been assigned to do. It is wonderful to love Him and to serve Him and to walk in His footsteps.

I pray God will greatly bless you and I encourage you to be wise and not foolish ones. No matter what is going on in your life, please make Him a priority. He loves you so much more that we can imagine. He is altogether wonderful!!

I bless you My children says the Father to you !!

You cannot begin to think in your finite minds the awesome things that I have on My agenda, MY AGENDA, My people. Not the agenda that you set for yourselves each and every day, but the agenda the I have set for you and for Me. It is a time when I desire to come into My people in an awesome mighty powerful way. To come into My people the way that My Son Jesus was anointed when He walked this earth. When He imparted it to His disciples as they went away and did the bidding that He set upon them. I say that same anointing is available today and My Father’s heart says I DESIRE MY CHILDREN, MY SONS AND MY DAUGHTERS TO WALK IN THAT STRONG ANOINTING THAT MY SON DID.

First of all you must get rid of the things in your heart that are impure. You must get out of your mind what is causing you to think erroneously. I say that this is a time when I desire you to walk in the Spirit; not after the flesh. So many of My children are gratifying their flesh. So many of My children are walking in the world’s ways and in the world’s system. I say you should be IN the world but not OF the world. Too many of My people are OF the world. They are trying to prosper in a season when prosperity in the world system is not very viable in this day and age.

I say, My children, this is a time when I desire to pour out. This is a time when I desire to fulfill that great commission as My Son, Jesus, said “Go ye therefore and preach the gospel.” Preach the Good News of My Kingdom. You shall heal the sick. You shall see the lame walk. You shall set the captives free.

Those are the things that I desire to have happening. Oh, yes, all My children say they desire that too; but so few have even let go of the strings that the earth has wrapped around you. The world and its system have encumbered My people. In order to walk in the strong anointing, it is a Highway of Holiness. I have said, “Come up My Mountain”. It is a Highway of Holiness. It is a way that you have to think My thoughts not your thoughts. I have told you that My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. I say let go of those thoughts that are of the world system – those thoughts that you have allowed to nurture in your minds. I say bring your thoughts captive. Do I not say that – bring your thoughts captive?

I say so many of My people think like the world system instead of putting on the mind of Christ. So many of My people are interested in having a merry old time than they are in walking in My Holy Presence. I say this is the time when I will have a people that will be coming out of the churchianity system. They will come out of that system that has doctrines that are not pleasing to Me. They will come out of that religious system that has some teachings that are very displeasing to Me. They have taken portions of My Word and wrapped their own thoughts around it.  They came up with doctrines that are not doctrines according to what I have set for My people.

This is a season when I desire to speak to My people. This is a season when I desire My people to speak to Me. A lot of people pray and pray and pray but prayer should be a communication. Communication is two ways. You speak for a while, you pray a petition, but then you listen for the answer. Then you listen how I want you to pray. Even something as simple as that; My people are stumbling because some of them do the same prayer over and over again. They don’t even expect that I would desire to answer them. They don’t even expect that I would really answer these prayers.

I say that I desire to have a relationship. I desire to have a love relationship with My children the way a good Father should. I desire to bring My children close to Me and let them feel My Holy Presence. This is a season when My desire is strong toward My people that they will want to enter into My Kingdom. For I say over and over I have told you that this is a season when I desire My Kingdom to come upon the earth even as it is in Heaven. I desire that, but so few of My children want to come into a time frame where they spend time with Me.

I have given you many tools but so few of My children really use the tools that I have appropriated to My Church. Those ones that are called by My Name. I say I have many things for My people. They shall be like a mighty [I am seeing a swift Army]. They shall all take their place. They shall not break rank. It is quick time. It is a quick time. Sometimes when the army is training up its people in your world system they do a quick step. That is the way I am now. I am quickening. I am quickening. This is not a season where you will have to sit back and wait for a long time for something to transpire because I am doing things quickly in the day in which you are living. Because this is a time when I desire to prepare that precious Bride for My holy Son. I say so few are even talking about that they are the Bride. So few even realize that the Bride is mature. The Bride is not an immature – she is not a baby, she is not an adolescent – she is a MATURE Bride. So few even recognize that there is such a thing.

I say that My Church is My Bride. So few even equate that Bride with the Church in which they are involved with. I say this is a season where there are those people who have allowed Me to come into their presence, who have allowed Me to have a relationship with them. To have allowed Me not only listen to their prayers but to talk back to them the answers to those prayers; to speak to them because I desire. What would it be like if as an earthly Father your children only came to you and say they called you on the telephone and they did all the talking, they never gave you a chance to say anything. That would be very lopsided. They would miss the wisdom that the elders have. Sometimes My children are so busy jumping around and playing games, they are satisfying their fleshly desires.

So few come really come into the Spirit where they worship in Spirit and in Truth; in Spirit and in Truth. I say this is a season where I am calling My children. I have been speaking to My children. I have been beckoning My children. I have been wooing My children. But I say so few have listened to the call. This is a time where the Turtle Dove has been calling. This is a time where I have been wooing My children. This is a time where I have been preparing My children; but so many of them are absent without leave. They have left their first love. They have gone after other attractions.

I say I have a people. I say they will be used mightily in the days that are upon you. This is a season where I will pour out My fullness upon those who have allowed Me to bring them into a mature relationship. This is a season, this IS the season that I have talked about in My Word that you call the fullness of time. This is the fullness of the time in which the Church has been upon the earth. The time has now taken a shift as I have told you many times that there would be a paradigm shift. The shift has happened, but so few even recognize that there has been a change.  They like doing things they are comfortable with. They like doing the things like they have for generations.

I say I WILL have a generation that I AM raising up that will do GREAT and awesome exploits. They will give ME all the glory. They will give ME all the honor. They will give ME all the praise. They will KNOW that it is nothing that they did – it is only that they happen to be an instrument that I use. You have many who have heard the song about the old violin that was at the auction block and nobody wanted to bid on that old violin because it looked like it was all scratched up. It looked like it had no good left in it. Nobody wanted it, but THEN the Master stepped up and took that violin in his hands that knew how to make that violin sound wonderfully. Then the auction price began to go up and up.

I say I am much like that old master violin player. I have a people who are pliable in My hand. When I take even the most lowly person upon the earth or if I take the most acclaimed person upon the earth, but when they are in the Master’s hand they will make beautiful music. I say that is where you are in Church history right now. I AM taking those ones that will allow Me to and place them in My holy hand; and when My holy hand comes upon them they will recognize that they have been touched by the Master’s hand.

I say THAT is the Anointing that will go forth and do those things that I have said in My Word that My People would do. I say the Master’s Touch is what so many people need. It is not a touch from some big name preacher. It is not a touch by somebody who agrees with you all the time. But it is the Touch of the Master’s Hand. I say in order to have that Touch, that awesome Touch, you must come away and spend time with Me. No master violinist gets that way just over night. It takes much, much practice and much, much patience. I have been patient with My people. Some of them have even been practicing much but I say THIS WILL BE A SEASON WHEN I WILL POUR OUT MY TOUCH UPON MY PEOPLE. When they have My Touch they will find that they will touch others and they will be healed. They will touch others with My holy Presence and those people will find that they will have a hunger and a thirst after those things which I AM about which they didn’t even ever think they would have a hunger and a thirst for.

I say put on garments of praise. Put on garments of praise. Put on that armor that I have given you. Do those things that I have given you. I have given you what you call the Lord’s Supper. I have given you that kind of a tool. I have given you My Word. I have given you the Light of My Word. I say read it often. So many people have read it and they seem to have put it on a shelf and it is gathering dust. It is the same as it has been for generations in some denominations. But this is a season when I desire you to read My Word because it IS My Holy Word. It is a living Word and as you get My Word in the fabric of your life you will find that you live out My Word. Because it is a Living Word, you will find as you get more and more of My Word in you your flesh and your soulish realm will become less and less predominant in your life.

I say these are peak times when I have a desire. I have a strong desire to move in a mighty awesome powerful way. My people have been praying for revival and I desire that many times more than they do. But they are not willing to pay a price to learn My Ways, to walk in My Ways, to be the people of God that I have chosen for them to be. You can’t just say you want revival and just say it with lip service. You MUST have heart service. You must have heart service. Those ones who love Me – they WILL take the time. Everybody has the same amount of time in a day. No matter how busy your day may be, put My agenda first. As you put My ways first, as you seek Me you will find that your day will revolve around that instead of revolving around your agenda. This is the season where I WILL have a people who are called by My Name; that will humble themselves and seek My face and if they have any sins I will be happy to forgive them. I say I will hear your prayers. This is a time of seek ye first the Kingdom of God. This is a time when I desire, much more, My heart overflows with an urgency; with an urgency. This is a time when I desire to pour forth. You pray for the lost and that is good and that is well; but I desire to move in the midst of them. I desire to use YOU as My fine-tuned instruments to take you to the lost so that you will recognize that they, too, need a Savior. They, too, need a Power of the Holy Spirit. They, too, need the Kingdom of God in their lives. I say the urgency of the hour, the urgency of the hour.

I say My children many of you I bless. I bless many of you because you have listened to My Sound. You have listened to the cry of My voice. You HAVE taken the time to come away and be with Me. This is a time when I am desiring to do mighty exploits in My people – far beyond what most of you have been doing. This is a time when I want you to come into My Holy Presence. I say COME UP! Come up and seek Me! Come up and seek Me! I say this is a time when I am opening floodgates up. I am opening up the gates of Heaven. You shall hear the roaring of the Spirit as I open up the Gates and it shall flood your presence. It shall flood your presence! It shall overpower; it shall overpower your flesh. These are days that are awesome in My Holy sight and you will find as you learn to walk in My Holy Presence; as you learn to humble yourself; as you learn to be obedient; you will find these are the most exciting days. Those people who are just the nominal Christians that have been doing the same old same old – they are not going to find the excitement unless they conjure it up in the flesh and it is NOT of the Holy Spirit – it is of some other spirit. I say but there ARE those people who will walk in My Power. Who will walk in My Might. For I say surely, surely the Presence of the Lord – when you go in My Presence people will recognize that surely the Presence of the Lord is in that place. I desire to use My Temples – you are My Temples. I tell you that in My Word. I will fill you with My Holy Presence and you shall see awesome things will transpire because I have CHOSEN, CHOSEN in this awesome Day of the Lord in which I have chosen for you to be upon the face of the earth. And I say for such a TIME as this. It is a Glorious Time for my Ecclesia, those ones that have allowed Me to take them and shine them and polish them and nurture them and make them into the people of God that I so desire. Especially in this day in which you are living because the things of the world are in great tumult – even the earth is in tumult, even the earth is in a convulsive state. But I say My People Will Stand Solid because they stand upon the solid Rock of My Son. All the things that He did – all the things that He said in the Word – I say all those ones that have built their life upon The Rock of My Son shall not be shaken by the shifty sands that are so prevalent in the world today. I say unto you, My children, look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Look up for your redemption draweth nigh. I say unto you, My beloved ones, My precious holy ones, I pour out My love. I pour out My Love no matter if you are the worst wicked sinner that ever existed, or whether you are the most Godly saint that has ever existed I pour out My Love upon all because I AM LOVE! I AM LOVE! I don’t separate My love by what you do or what you don’t do – I just LOVE. I do have a place for those ones that are lining up with My heart’s desire which is to go forth in the season in which I have place you upon the earth so that great and mighty things that will happen in MY Kingdom. Jesus said He did miracles so that the lost would recognize that He was the Son of the most high God. Many sons and daughters are walking upon the earth today. Those sons and daughters have decided to lay down lives, take up the cross and follow Me. Those are the ones that I will use in a powerful, mighty way in these days in which you are living. They are great days as you keep you focus upon My Son, Jesus. These are great days as you keep continually filled with the Holy Spirit and with My Fire. I bless you My precious children. I am calling forth. I am calling forth those ones that have taken the time to follow hard after Me. I bless especially those saints that have learned to be in a relationship with Me; who love Me as I love them. They have put down everything else – their own agendas, their own fleshly desires to follow Me. To follow Me. They are My true disciples. This is the day when I am raising up true disciples of My Son, Jesus Christ. Same as His original disciples followed Him, I have people in this day that are following Him. The same way, they have left everything behind to follow the Master. I say many more will come, many more will come because this is a time and a season where awesome things will transpire. Awesome things will transpire because I have ordained it to be so. I have ordained it to be so.

I bless you, My precious sons and daughters. I bless you, My precious sons and daughters. I pour out richly upon you. I pour out richly upon you. I say unto those ones that are following hard after Me – well done My precious sons and daughters. Well done My precious sons and daughters.

Your Heavenly Father

I desire you walk in the FULLNESS of My Gospel, My Good News. I say I have given you many avenues in which they all lead to one place which is My Kingdom. I say My children this is a time and this is a season when I am drawing My children, My precious saints; those ones whom I sent My Son for. I have been wooing you and I have been drawing you, I have been calling you, I have been seeking you. In My Word, I say, if you seek you shall find.

They will not be so attractive to you because In My Kingdom there is so much more.I say these are the days I am beckoning you. I am calling you to come, come unto Me. I say in My Word come unto Me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. I will do that My children. I call you to put aside all those things that are troubling you, put them aside at the foot of the cross. That
