Monthly Prophecy – January 2012 – 2012 the Powerful Year !!

Transcribed by Beverly Clous

I see lots of white birds flying in the blue sky.  They are white doves.  So brilliant-they are reflecting like lights shining brilliantly. I watched them just flying almost in some sort of a majestic dance.  Then they all seem to come forward and into one huge brilliant white Dove.  The wonderful Spirit of Jesus!!  This Dove is touching many people who seem to be looking up expecting.

In the Holy Ghost, they will begin to be saturated with the Presence and the Power of the Almighty God. For I say, this is a season and this is a time when I desire to do great and mighty and awesome exploits. Exploits My children. I have done wonderful things in the past. I have sent healing ministries. I have sent out the call for salvation for millions of people. And I say, this is a season where My Ecclesia, those ones who have desired to serve me with their heart, all their soul, all their mind, and all of their strength, that those ones have become saturated with the Holy Spirit, that My Presence will permeate where they go. My Presence will permeate even touching others. My Presence will even touch the wild life. My Presence will be felt by multitudes and multitudes because this is the season where I desire to pour out. Pour out my spirit as I’ve told you in the Book that you call Joel. I would pour out My Spirit upon all flesh and I say unto you, My precious ones, that you are the containers that I will use to go forth into all the world and be My Disciples. I say unto you that this is a season where you will see TRANSFORMATION POWER happening because the season is short. I do not have a season of another long period of time that I say My people will be touched in a powerful, mighty way.

I will invade the prisons. I will invade the jails, I will invade the hospitals. I will invade those places along the highways and the byways where people have no one to care for them. I say, I will invade those places with My Presence and My Power. And those ones who have nothing, they will suddenly realize they have everything because they will bow and accept My Son, Jesus, as their personal Savior. And as they do that, they will cry out. Cry out. Cry out and as they cry out, I will release the Holy Spirit in them in a powerful, mighty way. Do not look for Me necessarily to pour out, only in what My people call their churches. Do not look for Me to pour out only in whatever their gatherings are because I say, this is a season where I desire to pour out and I know whose heart is ready to accept Me and when My Power touches a person, they will be changed instantly They won’t have time to go through a twelve step program. They won’t have time to go through years of counseling. They won’t have time to do anything except be very excited about the transformation that I will make in these people’s lives. And then, yes, I will need to use my Ecclesia to bring them in so that they know they will need to be lined up with My Word so that they don’t get off in some sort of a drawing from the unholy one.

I say this is a season and a time that power will be manifested in mighty, mighty ways. There will be things happening in the Earth that no body will be able to explain. There will be great sorrow and I’m seeing that Tsunami that happened in Japan. That was a time of great sorrow because many people’s lives were just snuffed out in one short time. And I say, I desire to have a Tsunami of the Holy Spirit where it will just engulf people.  They will be lifted into My Presence in a powerful, mighty way. This is a season where those ones of My people that have been hungering and thirsting after more, they’ve been crying out for more –  I say, I hear their cries, I hear their cries. And I say, I will have many of My Ecclesia that will be going out, going in, going out, going in, going out because this is a season where the walls of the church will no longer keep my Holy Spirit bound up.

It’s a season where no matter what kind of great lessons that you have learned, it’s going to boil down to the Presence, to the Power, to the Holiness, to the Perfection. I say, this is a highway. A Highway of Holiness is up Mt.Zion. And I say, this is a season where some of My precious Ecclesia have allowed Me to mold them and shape them so that they can be those powerful vessels that I will use in this time frame in which you are upon the Earth. Yes, the things of this Earth will be very dark and they’re not going to get a whole lot better. And I say, but I will even invade that darkness because I am that Light. I am that Light. I say unto My people for years, do not put your Light under a bushel and so many put the Light of My Son, Jesus, under some of their transgressions. They put the Light of My Son, Jesus, hidden by sinfulness. The Light of My Son, Jesus, has been taken out by the pursuit of worldliness. My Son, Jesus, has the Light of His Light has been dimmed by people pursuing the world’s money system. But I say, I will provide for My Ecclesia everything that they need because I know what your needs are long before you even know what your needs are.

And I say unto you, My precious, precious children this is a season where you will rejoice and be glad because you will see the Manifest Presence of the Almighty God. This is a season of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost will be manifesting upon the Earth in Power and Might. This is a season where you will see as I told you in My Word you would do the works that My Son, Jesus, did. But even greater works and this is that season My precious ones. This is that season this year. This year that you call 2012 is going to be a year of dynamic manifestations. Of dynamic, powerful exploits that I will do and you will see awesome things begin happening. You will be so concerned and so awed by the awesome things that I am doing. Those things that have troubled you last year will not even take place in your life because you will only be so in tune with My Power and My Might and My Presence. It’s My Presence, it’s not something that people have to labor hard for, all I ask my people to do is to come before Me with clean hands and a pure heart.

All I ask My people to do is to LOVE Me with all their heart, all their mind, all  their soul, and all their strength. The only thing I ask you to do is love one another  [All over -- Just great explosions. Some are just smaller but some are great, big explosions!!!]  Those are what I am doing in the Earth. I am releasing My Power and My Might and it will be explosive. I told you that the dynamos power is where you get the word dynamite from. I will be setting off explosions with My Power and My Might and you will see those things that you have prayed about come to pass!!  Those things that even some of your people that are already resting in Heaven with Me. Some of them have prayed things that have never come to pass. You will see things coming to pass very quickly.

This is the season of not sitting back in your rocking chair. This is the season of much activity and some of you, some of you of My Ecclesia will be coming up here in My Kingdom realm and then you will be going back to the Earthly realm because that is what I desire to do. I have extended Jacob’s ladder to all My people. I have extended it, same as the Highway up Mt. Zion, is a Highway of Holiness. And that, My precious ones, is what you need to do if you stumble, if you do things that you know are displeasing to Me. Repent quickly. Repent quickly and wash it with the Blood of My Son, Jesus. Because I desire to have My people, My temples filled with the Holy Ghost so that they can go to and fro to bear witness, to be a container, to flow, overflow upon other people. I say, this is a season where My Ecclesia will be used in Power and Might and it is a season where I will not allow any of those people that I have brought out of the traditions of man to be used mightily.

This is a season where I have brought people out of some of those structures that the Religious System put upon people. This is a season where you will stand before Me. Hallelujah! You will stand before Me as Adam did in the Garden. You will not need anything except My Word, My Presence, My Holiness, My Purity and I say, you will be in communication with Me as Adam was because that has all been restored by what My Son, Jesus did. You have the Holy Spirit but I say you will hear My Voice, the Voice of the Almighty God. And I say unto you My precious Ecclesia,  those ones that you have paid a price to be called My Ecclesia, but I say, this is a season that you will be so thrilled that you allowed Me to mold you and shape you so that I can use you as vessels fit for the Master’s use. And I will use your vessels in a powerful, mighty way.

Remember, this year, this year is a year of POWER. It is a year when I am releasing My Almighty Power and I say unto you My precious children most of all I want you to know I love you. That’s the most important thing. Know I love you. I loved you even when I was allowing circumstances in your life that were extremely difficult but I loved you. I loved you. I never stopped loving you no matter what. No matter if you’re the most holy saint or the worst sinner. I always loved every person. I always, always love and I want you to know that because I want you to carry My Love where you go.. My Love where you go. And I bless you My precious Ecclesia. I bless you My precious children. I bless you. I bless you. I bless you. Hallelujah!

I have in my hands two boxes,
which God gave me to hold.
He said, “put all your sorrows in the black,
and all your joys in the gold.

I heeded his words, and in the two boxes,
both my joys and sorrows I store.
But though the gold became heavier each day,
the black was as light as before.

With curiosity I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why.
And I saw in the base of the box a hole,
which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud,
I wonder where my sorrows could be.
He smiled a gentle smile at me,
my child they’re all here with me.

I asked, “God, why give me the boxes,
why the gold and black with the hole?”
“My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
the black is for you to let go.”

I’m seeing pure white fireworks going up, cascading and cascading and cascading.  They are going up from earth toward Heaven.  Lots and lots of what looks like fireworks.  Now all of a sudden it seems to be being poured back down to earth.  Lots and lots of these wonderful pure white, all pure white sparks.  Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down and I say unto My people that this is a season, yes indeed, where I will come down.  And I say unto My people that this is a season where I desire to come down and have a habitation with My people.  This is a season where I will come down and show you what an Awesome, Powerful, Mighty God I am.  This is a season where I shall Rend the Heavens, Rend the Heavens, Rend the Heavens and I’m seeing like a huge, huge white cloth and the Lord is just wringing it like you would a washcloth or something and out of that is falling all this crystal white, crystal white, crystal white substance.  Hallelujah.

And I say this is a season where the anointing shall be so strong upon My people (even the ones that have been heavily anointed over the years) that they will begin to recognize this is something special, this is a new season.

This is a new manifestation of the Holy Presence of the Almighty God.  This is a season much like when My Son Moses came up the mountain and he sat in My Presence.  That Presence, My children, that very Presence My children.  I’m opening up the Heavens and sending it down.  And you shall see some people will say, Oh your too Holy, some people will say, Oh you think you’re so wonderful, they’ll have negative things to say but just keep on walking, just keep on walking because it is all about My Presence.  My Holy Presence because this is a season where I shall pour out might, and this is a season when you walk in My Power and you walk in My might and that anointing that I’m pouring out in fresh, fresh measure, you’ve never seen it before!  It was in little pockets before the one hundred and twenty in the upper room, it was when the people were at the foot of the cross.  It was when My Son, Jesus was born upon the earth.  Those are pockets, but this is a season where I am choosing to open the Heavens and come down and habitat with My people.  A habitation is when My Presence will stay there, the Manifest Presence of God will stay there.

I have been preparing places where people will have prepared so that the Manifest Presence of God, My Manifest Presence, will not co-mingle with the unholy.  My Presence will not co-mingle with obscenities or even, [I’m seeing a newspaper,] even the filth of a newspaper.   My Presence will not co-mingle with the world and all of its things.  But there are many people who have been preparing.  Some have prepared just a little place in their homes where My Presence can be a habitation.  [I’m seeing somebody sitting, in a burgundy colored recliner chair.  They have off to one side a little end table with a Bible and music in the room.]

But some of My people have prepared one little corner of the room and that is the place of My habitation and they will not defame it by taking other things into that particular place.  Other people have a room in their home, a whole level in their home where they have prepared that place for my habitation to be there.  Few, very few, have prepared a whole building to breathe the habitation of the Almighty God.  And I say unto you my precious children when you have prepared that kind of a place for me you will find when you walk in, that my presence is there, when you walk in, you will find suddenly you will feel the anointing to do the work of the ministry.  So much of ministry, My precious dear children, has been ministry that people have just done.  But this is a season where the Ministry will be done because I am pouring out, because I am the One who is telling you what to do, I am the great I am.  And I say as Moses came up and he was in My Presence and when he came down that Mountain, they told him to cover his face because My Presence was so strong.  That’s what I am doing in this age, My precious ones, that is what I am doing in this age!!!  Yes, some of My people have been learning to come up into My Heavenly realm and that is good!  And I will continue to do that because there is special Anointing in that Realm.  But I also am choosing to come down and habitat with My people.  I say unto you My precious ones this is a mighty, mighty season.  This is a season where I have said the Fullness of the Godhead is manifesting itself.  My precious Son Jesus, the One who you accepted as your personal Savior.  When you did that your life was dramatically changed because it took you out of the kingdom of the world system and placed you into My Kingdom.  I say when you got filled with the Holy Spirit to overflowing [I’m seeing a volcano erupting] my Spirit began to erupt out of your vessel and that was good.  There was much, much that came out of that.  But now My precious ones, I am choosing to come down and you will walk in the Fullness of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.  And I say unto you, My children, these are times when the Supernatural Realm of the Holy Ghost will be more real to you than the natural realm that people have been walking in.

I have told you that this is a season when I say, “COME AWAY. MY BELOVED”.  This is a season when I say, “Come My Beloved and sit among the fragrances, among the fruits, sit in My Garden.”  This is a season when it is a fulfillment of that Season when you will go out of My Garden.  This is that Season where I have, [oh my goodness!], I have been preparing My Bride for My Son.  This is a Season where you shall come out of that Garden arrayed in the splendor, in the splendor, in the beauty of His Manifest Presence.  This is a season where you shall come out flowing with a veil of the Holy Presence of the Almighty God.  And I say this is a Season where My Bride will carry a bouquet that will be abundant with all the fragrances and all the beauty, all the flowers.  Her bouquet will be one of absolute, absolute fragrance.  It will be one that she will be willing to take a flower and give it to the ones that are out there that so desperately needing the Presence of the Lord.  Oh, My Bride is a giving Bride, My Bride is a loving Bride, My Bride is one that will have eyes for none other than her Beloved, My Son, Jesus.  This is a season My precious daughters when you will be transparent.  Anybody can look at you and know that your heart is overflowing with Love.  Everybody will know that you are the one that has prepared your vessel to be that wonderful Bride of Christ, that I talk about in My Word.  I say unto you that I have been sending out the ones to look for that Bridal Company, those ones, the same as I sent them out to look for Rebecca and they found her at the well.  Rebecca had a heart that she not only was willing to draw water for the servants, but she was willing to even draw water for their camels.  And I say that’s the way my precious Bride is, she will only not walk with you one mile, but she will give you her coat, and walk with you two miles.  This is a wonderful season, my precious saints, this is a wonderful season my precious saints and I say unto you this is a time of exultation.  This is a time of Hallelujah!  This is at time of joyous praise.  This is a time and a season where these people that have chosen to follow My Son, Jesus and this is a Season where they have said, My beloved one, I am betrothed unto you.  This is a Season where she will not look to any other.

And I say unto you my precious, precious saints this is a Season like none other.  This is a Season where I rejoice because I know what is transpiring upon the world and I know that the darkness is getting darker but I have told you it would.  But my precious ones, this is also a time and a season where My Kingdom is getting more brilliant.  This is a Season where My Kingdom has people who are willing to walk in it.  And I say unto you, My precious ones, it is not much longer before I shall tell my Precious Son to go and get His Bride.  But you have some work to do yet, you have some things that I have ordained for you to do yet.  And I say unto you My precious ones, well done, well done.  I say unto you,  My precious ones, that have chosen to follow after My Son, Jesus they don’t choose a little bit here and a little bit there.  No they have chosen to be ALL FOR JESUS and I say unto you, My precious saints, this is a glorious time.  This is a hallowed time.  This is a time where My Kingdom shall come upon earth as it is in Heaven.  I say unto you, My precious ones, I love you, I love you.  Let My heart just pour out to you.  I love you My precious ones.

Hallelujah.

Your Heavenly Father

I am seeing lots of doors, like bi-fold doors.  Lots of them, every which place.  They are all going in one direction.  White doors, white doors – lots of white doors.  Some are closer to me and some are in the distance.

Oh, yes, My children this indeed is a season where I am opening MY doors.  I am opening MY doors for My people to move through and minister in Power and in Might.  I say unto you, My precious ones – those ones I have been preparing for this tremendous outpouring of My Spirit that  they will walk in; but they will NOT push one door open.

I have been training up My people that they will not move unless they hear that this is the Way God desires you to go and walk in it.  This is a season where I have been training My people up so they will be transformed into the image of My Son, Jesus.  And yes, I say that Image is where you shall have the anointing that My Son has.  When He stood up and said, “The Anointing of the Lord is upon Me”.  I say this is the day where My people that I have been preparing will rise up and others will know that the Anointing of the Lord is upon you. I say this is a season where people will be guided and directed because they will be so in love with My Son Jesus that nothing else will compare to His beauty, to His holiness, to His purity, to His righteousness, to His awesomeness, to His Glory, to His Presence.  I say unto you, My precious children, this is an hour when I am going to perform so many great and awesome things. I say those ones that I have been training up that they will be so one with My Son as I talk about in John 17; that they will be one with Him.  Him in Me and them in My Son Jesus and My Son Jesus in them  by the Power of the Holy Spirit.  They shall move.

I have been in a time when I have been cleaning My people.  I have been removing the debris from My people’s hearts.  I have been removing the thoughts that do not line up with My Word.  I say My people will be a humble people. My people will be a holy people.  My people will walk in holiness and purity.  My people will be a people who will hear the Voice of the Almighty God.  They will be doers of My Word, for I say they shall not be only hearers of My Word but they shall be doers of the Word.  That Word is the Voice of the Almighty God that will come upon these people.  And I say unto you, My precious ones, this is a time when My people – those ones that I have been preparing for this company of people that I have been raising up that they will be so in love.  Yes, they will be in love with My Son.  Yes, they will be in love with one another.  They will be so occupied with loving the people that they shall not be concerned about this or concerned about that because they shall know the Voice of Almighty God is guiding them and directing them.

I say this group of people will stay in tune with My Word.  They will stay in tune with My Message.  They will not defile My Message.  They will not dilute My Message.  They will not pollute My Message.  They will walk in the purity of My Word of the Almighty God.  I say these people will be an awesome company.  These people will be an awesome company and they shall walk in harmony.  These people will BE in one accord.  These people will NOT break rank.  These people will not  mind if they are in the front leading or in the rear bringing that up.  They will walk in their positions where I have placed them.  Sometimes some of these people will be leading and other times someone else will be leading and they will be part of the rear guard.

I say unto you, My people, My precious, precious people these are awesome days.  These are, indeed, the days of the fullness of Almighty God that I have talked about for so long in My precious Word. These are the days when My people will be walking in a remnant company of people. They will be sooooo in love with My Son, Jesus and they will be one with Him.  Yes, you call it the Bride; I call it My Son’s best.  My Son’s best.  My Son, Jesus, did so many awesome, mighty things when He walked upon the earth.  Part of what He did was a preparation so that I could have a Bridal company that will walk with Him and talk with Him, fellowship with Him.

As I told Adam in the Garden it was not good for man to be alone and I took a rib out of his side and created a woman for him.  I say so too, My Son, Jesus is worthy and out of His side flowed that blood and water; out of that I have been preparing a company of people that I can say “this is My Son’s Bride”.  I can say “this is a people who have prepared their vessels to be My Son’s helpmate“.  This is a people that will do His bidding and His bidding alone.  This is a people in this awesome, wonderful hour that I have longed to see.  This is a time and a season that has been set aside for a company of people to be My Son’s Bride and they shall be one with Him, full of love, full of love.  That is all they will do is love.  They won’t criticize one another.  They won’t have hurt feelings from one another.  They will walk in love.

Because perfect love casts out all fear.  I say unto you, My precious children, this is a season of much, much activity in the Spirit realm.  This is a season when I am releasing angelic hosts from Heaven to come down and minister to people on the earth.  They shall stir and they shall stir so that the people on earth to come, to allow the Holy Spirit to draw them into My Kingdom.  I say this will be a fruitful season.  This will be a fruitful season because it is a time where the fruit on the tree of life – the fruit on that tree of life is My Son, Jesus is mature fruit.  It is mature fruit.

I say unto you, My precious, precious children, this is a time of much testing of My mature ones especially.  I have been positioning them; I have been placing them so they can truly walk in the Kingdom of God; in the Kingdom of God.  They will not run into My Kingdom and then run back into the world’s ways. The focus will be Kingdom of the Almighty God.  They won’t have to sit down and pray for hours and hours; they will BE walking in the Kingdom of God.  They will BE walking in My Son, Jesus.  They will BE empowered by the Holy Spirit and guided and directed.  I say ALL the things that this mighty company of My precious ones will be giving ALL the glory to Me.  Will be giving ALL the praise to My Son, Jesus.  They will take none for themselves because they have died to themselves and they are alive in Christ Jesus.

I say unto you, My precious ones, this is a season when I am opening up those doors – opening wide those doors.  You shall see many things transpire upon the earth that people will know this is a people who love the Lord Jesus Christ.  This is a people who love with all of their heart, all of their soul, all of their mind, all of their strength.  They love.  I say this is a people that love the Lord like that.  But I say this IS a people that will love themselves.  I have been working to get all of the messiness of your own self out of the way; to get all of the woundedness out of the way.  Because I desired you to love the way My Son, Jesus loved.  He laid down His life because of love. I say this group of people will also lay down their life and count it of no account they will only do what My Son, Jesus is calling them to do.

As you well know when My Son, Jesus walked upon the earth He did nothing unless I told Him.  He did nothing unless He saw Me do; and so too this company of people will operate like that in the Power of My Spirit, the Power of the Living God.

These are awesome days for you people that are upon the earth because these are the days of culmination of this particular sequence that you call the church age.  I say unto you, My precious ones, PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD.  PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD.  You will prepare it by doing the ministry that I set before you.  Not what someone else thinks you ought to do. Not because someone points a finger and says you need to do this or that.  Because this is a company of people that will flow by the Spirit of the Living God.  Flowing through them.  Flowing out of them touching many, many people.

I say unto you, My precious children, I delight Myself in knowing that there is a company of people upon the earth for this particular season that I have ordained to be upon the earth.  They will do those great and mighty exploits that I have already desired for them to do.  I say unto you  [I see a huge, huge  drawing with little tiny lights that are lit up brilliantly.  These are the saints of God that are called to be the great awesome Bridal company.  Now I see all of those lights from all around the world coming off of this blueprint coming into one huge, huge light that is streaming, streaming straight up to God.]  I say those come up before My nostrils to bless Me, but then I pour it back upon the earth because My desire is – not one be lost.  My desire is that all walk in the fullness of the plan that I have set before them.

I say unto you, My precious children, come unto Me.  Come unto Me, come unto Me and I will give you rest.  I say unto you, My precious ones, that I have been preparing so that I can say to My Son, Jesus; and it will happen very soon, My children; The Bride Has Made Herself Ready.  My Son Go and get Your Bride!  This is a time that I have desired to one day say “My Son – Go and get Your Bride”.  Oh!! This is a time that I have desired to one day say “My Son – Go and get Your Bride.  Oh!! The angels are rejoicing.  The angels are rejoicing because they know that this is the time frame of a great and awesome Heavenly encounter that is about to transpire on the earth.

I bless you, My precious children.  I delight to call you My children.  I delight to call you the Bride that has made herself ready for My precious Son, Jesus.  Oh!! Rejoice and be glad oh Bride of Christ.  Rejoice and be glad oh Bride of Christ.  Rejoice and be glad oh Bride of Christ.  Halleujah!  Halleujah!

The Heavenly Father

In the early morning hours of July 30th in a dream vision, I saw a man step out of the great cloud of witnesses of Hebrews 12:1:

Hebrews 12:1 says we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses – and down here on earth we are surrounded by that great cloud of witnesses and they are watching us. They have a right to observe us because they invested their lives in us while they were upon the earth. We are their investments.

This man that stepped out of the great cloud of witnesses had joy unspeakable and full of glory all over him. In Heaven, the Father had revealed to the Son a thing He was going to do shortly upon the earth. There’s great joy in Heaven now yet Heaven has not revealed this to the earth but it will be revealed very shortly.

Make a Commitment

Heaven is waiting for us to make a commitment to Jesus so the Father can commit things to us. From what I was shown, we’re on the verge of some of the greatest healings of all time. We’re getting ready for joy and gladness to fall upon the dedicated Christians because there’s such an abundance of blessings.

I believe this abundance of blessings will begin before the end of this year. So commit your life fully unto the Lord so this abundance of blessings can come upon you.

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 am hearing from behind me and all around me; it sounds like voices, which I believe are either the great cloud of witnesses or angels; they are all hollering POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER.  It is almost like a great chorus of POWER.

I say unto My children that this is a standard that I am lifting up in the earth and I say this is a season of POWER.  This is a season of POWER.  I say unto My children that you will see awesome things transpire because I have chosen that THIS season to not just send forth a little flicker of POWER, but I am sending for the that DUNAMIS POWER which is like dynamite, My children. I say unto you that it is the time when My children will be blasting off.  They will be moving from place to place.  This is a season where My Power and My Might will propel many to go from place to place.  But not only from place to place but they shall go for, indeed, this is a season where Heaven and earth shall meet.

This is a season where I will come down in Power, but I will, also, bring people up in Power.  This is a season, My precious children, that you have wondered where is the Lord our God; because so many have prayed for so long.  And I say I am releasing, I am releasing all of My people who have been in captivity from the enemy; that have been in captivity from their upbringing; that have been in captivity from some of their beliefs; that have been in captivity from the accuser of the brethren; that have been in captivity because they have had a mindset that was not conformed to the mindset that I desire for My people to have.

And, yes, this is a season where I am pouring forth with a mighty, mighty rushing Wind.  I am pouring forth with a Power that shall go forth for My vessels that have allowed Me to prepare them for such a time as this.  I have needed to have some people who had allowed Me to put them on the Potter’s Wheel until they were conformed to this image of My Son, Jesus Christ; and in those vessels I shall be able to pour forth a Power and a Might like you have not seen upon the earth because this is a fresh, new season where I am going to do mighty, mighty things. Did I not tell you that you would go forth and do the things that My Son, Jesus did, but even greater things?  And this IS that season.  It is not coming down the road it has arrived.

I say this is that season where you shall see that the blind shall begin to see.  This is the season where the stopped ears will be opened so that people will hear.  This is the season where the lame shall be healed so they are no longer lame, but they shall be jumping and they shall be rejoicing.  This is a season where that one with the withered hand shall find that it shall be made completely whole.  And, yes, this is the season where there was no limb I will grow one.  This is the season of dynamics that you have pondered about; that you have seen in the Spirit realm.  This is the time where I am pouring forth those things.  I am opening up those lockers in which I have had eyeballs stored.  This is the season where I am opening up those lockers that you have seen where I have different feet and arms and legs and hands stored.  This is the season where I have had hearts stored.  I am opening up those lockers so that they could be released upon the earth for such a time as what you are living.

In this day, this day which I call the fullness of time.  This is the day where I am pouring forth because this is the day where the great cloud of witnesses are even singing and rejoicing because they know that something awesome is happening because there is so much activity up here in My realm.  They know something awesome is transpiring upon the earthly realm.  They are great cheerleaders for you folks that are upon the earth at this particular season.  This is the season where I am sending angels, those ministering spirits, those guarding spirits, those ones that shall link up with the ministry gifts that I have placed within My people.

I say this is a season to delight yourself in the Lord thy God because I am raising up out of My Holy Habitation and I am saying this is the time when My people have wondered where is our God?  This is a time where people have wondered – I have prayed and I have prayed and some of them have even grown faint – but I say this is a season where I am releasing such awesome things upon those ones that have allowed Me to prepare their temples so that I can fill them with My Holy Presence.  I say this is a season where I filled My Temple with My Holy Presence that even the priests could not stand.  This is a season where I am pouring out that Power and that Might and people will be changed because that anointing, that Power and that Might shall change people so that they will be followers of My Son, Jesus.  They shall follow hard after My Son, Jesus.

It is not a time of wishy-washy Christians.   It is not a time where some of the Christians be on their knees for a season and then they get discouraged and then go back to the world.  NO!!! This is the time for My children that are following My Son, Jesus; propelled by the Holy Spirit, that they shall walk and they shall not grow weary.  For I say this is the season of My Dunamis Power being poured out upon the earth and it will change things.  It will change people’s lives.

Oh, some will scatter to the enemy’s side because they will not like that Presence of the Lord that will cause them to fall upon their face and repent.  This is the season where I will take – even many of them – who have accepted My Son, Jesus but they have not sold out to My Son, Jesus. They accepted Him and then they went on their way of following after their own soulish desires.  But this is a day when I am raising up an army of people who will go across this earth and they will change the power and the attitude.  My people will have – it will be My Kingdom living upon this earth. I will care for My own.  I say unto you I will care for My own.

Even though the world and its system – the enemy has released many spirits upon the earth that are anti-christ- they are not for Me.  I say unto you, My precious children, this is a season when I say if God be God then follow Him.  But if bael be your god (small g) then follow him.  This is a separation time, My children.  This is separation time. This is a season when people will rejoice and be glad because they will see awesome things transpire.

I told you that the signs of My Son’s coming would be signs in the heavens and the earth.  There will be earthquakes.  There will be rumors of war and there will wars.  There will be all those things transpiring.  There will be famines.  There will Kingdom.  In My Kingdom there shall be peace.  In My Kingdom there shall be joy.  In My Kingdom most of all, My Kingdom is completely wrapped in LOVE.  That agape LOVE that I pour out upon each and every person.  That agape LOVE is what My Ecclesia will operate in.

I say unto you, My precious children, this is a season like none other that ever was before or will be again because this is a time in the fullness of time. This particular time that you call the church age – this is the fullness of that time and the marker that has been set for Me to move in a powerful, mighty way because this is a season for many that have prayed Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven.  This is that season, My precious children.  This is that season, My precious children.  So rejoice and be glad because your Almighty Father is releasing that Dunamis Power in a stronger, more powerful way than you have seen.  This is that wall-shattering, earth-shaking Power that hit the upper room in which My disciples were waiting.  Yes, My children, you have been waiting for a long season.  So that you can find what you have been looking for which are the powerful Gifts that I endued My Son, Jesus with as He walked this earth.  So too I am releasing it in My people because that is what will attract many into My Kingdom because the Harvest is ripe.  I say unto you, My precious one, miracles will be happening.  Miracles will be happening.  Miracles will be happening because I have chosen for it to be so.  I have allowed some of My people to lay their lives down so that I can pick it up again.  I say to you, My precious ones, rejoice and be glad for these are awesome days in which you are upon this earth.  Look at My Kingdom.  Look at My Kingdom.  Hide under the shadow of the wings of the Almighty.  Hide under the windows of Heaven that I talk about in Malachi.  Hide under the cleft of the Rock of the Presence of the Almighty Son.  My Jesus is the Rock.  Hide under the One Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Hide in My loving arms so that I can embrace you with My Love and My tenderness.

I say unto you, My precious ones, that those who persevere shall find that high calling of God that is upon your life.  I say unto you, My precious ones, that this is a season for I have chosen to prepare that group of people that My Son will call forth for they are the Bride of Christ.  I say yes!  My Bride has been making herself ready.  I say unto you that these are days that you shall rejoice.  You shall be glad that you are upon the earth for such a time as this says the Father to you.  I love you, My precious children.  I love you, My precious children.  I put My right hand of blessing upon every single person that reads or listens to this particular message.  I put My right hand of blessing upon you because I bless My children.  I bless My children.  I want you to allow Me to fill you with My holy agape Love that it will fill everything inside of you that is not holy and pure.  I pour forth My Holy Agape Love so that you have that same Love wherewith I touch you that you can go out and touch others.  Not that phoney kind of love, but that Agape Love that is pure and holy.  I bless you My precious children.  I love you.  I love you.  I love you.  I love you, My precious ones.

Your Heavenly Father

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.

Yesterday was The National Day of Prayer.  I usually make the lunchtime prayer meeting.  This year, I am back in Traverse City, I went to the Courthouse and  parked at the new courthouse parking lot. The local radio station was broadcasting it live – so I could hear the activities.  After some prayers and singing suddenly above the old courthouse I saw the Angel to the church of Traverse City appear.  This Angel was joined by a semi-circle of brilliant white angels.  As I watched them there appeared a white wedding dress.  I felt the Holy Spirit say “The Father is looking for people who have prepared their walk to be able to wear this wedding dress (for the Bride of Christ).”  Then this dress turned into a brilliant white pulsating light.  I knew that to be the Holy Presence of the Lord.

The Angel to the Church of Boyne City appeared in my vehicle.  That Angel is a ministering angel and doesn’t speak as the messenger Angels do.  I believe that was a transfer recognizing my move back to Traverse City.  The appearance of these Angels seemed to be activated by a very anointed worship music segment.  I believe anointed prayers during the meeting from the Spirit activated this activity but as the meeting became less anointed the angels left.

I bless all who organized this prayer meeting and the many people that gathered together to pray.  God bless you!!
