New Year's Prophecy 2015

God has given me a Word for 2015. Entwined in that is some particular words for The Gambia and my children and others that I am working with there. But I would like to let you in on a principle that will benefit you!

Apostle Bobbie Jean Merck always taught this: If someone receives a Prophecy, and it particularly ministers to your own heart, if you reach out in Faith and latch on, you may also partake of that Blessing, by reason of your Faith and submission to the Word given. So, that being said, I am releasing this Word, in totality, including the Word for Gambia. Be Blessed and walk it out to God's Glory. Amen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is the word that God has given me for the year 2015. As with any word I give, I give it with much humility and trepidation. So. please know that I have listened to what He has had to say and I’m challenged and now I challenge you.

Take off your shoes! As you enter into the New Year, I heard the Lord saying “take off your shoes. You’re standing on Holy ground!”
You’ve been seeking to do things, and you have had some success, but you are entering into a new arena. WE are entering into a new arena. What has worked before will not work here. What you have known will not be enough.

Even as Joshua met with Me, and my sword was drawn, it is drawn once again. It is time for a fresh circumcision of the heart. Your shoes represent your walk, both with Me and in this world. It represents mode, method, methodology, many things…
Even as I told Peter his feet needed cleansed from defilement, so too, you’ve been defiled by your journey. [Through this world] Remove those shoes!

Be free of your past; your past mistakes, your past efforts, your past way of doing things. Your shoes represent your lifestyle (my impression – may have been just for me, but it was that the lifestyle needs to change) your mode, your method of doing… You DON’T stand, and you WON’T stand in your own wisdom and your own strength! Do not rely on things of the past; they will not work where I am taking you. Take off your shoes.

Come face to face with Me. Let My Sword, My Word divide asunder, thoughts, intents and soul and Spirit. I Am doing a new thing in you, for you and through you! So, in you, for you and through you. This will require you to “be still and know.” Do not run ahead of Me in presumption. I will show you step by step. New ways produce new things.

But come into this New Year free of regrets, free of past problems, and free of man-made solutions. Let Me cut away all disappointment, fear and disillusionment. This is Holy Ground where I AM meeting with you One on one. So, again I say. Take off your shoes.

To Gambia I see a well-worn plough handle, an old fashioned wooden plough. It is sitting with blade on hard ground. You have worked amid frustration, disappointments… For some of you, you have stopped ploughing altogether because you are so weary. But your tears and your prayers and your efforts have not been in vain. I see corn! Tender shoots about 8 inches tall, bright green in color. It is time to tend your garden and nurture the coming harvest. Seeds that have long lain dormant are sprouting! There WILL BE a harvest in 2015. But only if you protect your fields in prayer, water it in love and and speak life. Don’t pluck up your seeds now! Especially, with negative words. Stay the course! You WILL reap. But to do so effectively and efficiently, you must change methods. You must let go of “the same old, same old.” That old plough is not going to work very well much/any longer. Embrace what I Am about to do and get ready to be astonished!

Love is the key to unlocking the door: Love ME and love your fellow man.
Take off your shoes and dance with Abandon the Dance of Wild Love and let ME refresh you. Drink deep of the waters of My Presence, My Spirit, My Love and be re-saturated and refilled. I am about to do a new thing and you WILL see it springing forth, says the Lord. Amen.

Prophetic Poetic Prose Word

https://www.facebook.com/HeartnHandsMinistry

Let me speak this word to you:
 
Your enemy wants to FRUSTRATE you, CASTIGATE you, INTIMIDATE you, SUBJUGATE you and CASTRATE you!
 
Jesus came to LIBERATE you, so you can EXASPERATE the enemy’s plans for you! Though the enemy tries to castigate, Jesus exonerates you by His Blood. Therefore silence every accusation of the enemy and emancipate yourself to DREAM again. 
 
When the enemy comes to intimidate, you just need to intimate boldly his final abode in the lake of fire! He will quickly abdicate his barrage against you. And when he tries to subjugate, you simply DOMINATE by speaking the WORD and pleading the BLOOD!
 
Don’t let the enemy castrate you and cut off your hope, or cause you to cast away your confidence. Don’t abort that baby GOD has given you! Speak life to it, and press through the trials. God will bring you through shining like GOLD . Do not DEVIATE from the Path of BLESSING HE has set up for you. Walk on into your DESTINY Child of GOD for the BEST is YET TO BE!
  

Prophecy to The Bride

Prophecy To The Bride                                                                                                                  

Released in Makurdi, Nigeria, a Global Prophecy to the Body of Christ

I bring you Greetings today from the USA from my husband, from my intercessors, from My Dad and from Church of the Latter Rain, which is my Dad's church in Garland, Tx.  He sends his love.  He has been praying, his church has been praying for you.  I have intercessors around the world that has been praying for these meetings.  Hallelujah. 

We are Celebrating the Official Recognition of The Glory of His Majesty Ministries new home! HALLELUJAH!  You know, this is a testimony! It is a testimony of GOD’S Faithfulness, His Graciousness, His Abundance and Provision and That man's (pointing to Pastor Michael Ewache) perseverance, Amen? And that woman's perseverance (Mrs. Ewache) Amen! And your willingness to hook into the vision God gave him.  So I commend and I congratulate all of you. Hallelujah?!!

I remind you of scripture... I was praying and asking God, "What do you want me to say?"  He wanted me to remind you...this is what God Himself had to say about what could be accomplished by a people of one mind and one heart and one accord… 

Gen 11:4  And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.

Gen 11:5  And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

Gen 11:6  And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do, will be impossible for them. 

Do you hear what the Word of the Lord is saying?  When you are one heart, one mind, when you have have one language... Do you know what that Language is? It is the Language of Love and the Language of Faith! When you are of one language, because Faith worketh by Love.  When there is no disunity, when there's no discord,  when there's no disharmony, then GREAT THINGS can be accomplished and NOTHING will be impossible to you,  You've only just begun! Hallelujah!

I sought God and I said, God, this is such an auspicious occasion!  What is the ONE Word that YOU want me to bring to them? What is the thing that is burning on YOUR heart?   Because I could tell  you lots of things, but the most Important thing is, "what's the thing that GOD wants you to hear?" What is coming from the heart of God to you?  And this is what He shared with me... So what I'm about to share with you is straight from the Throne Room, from HIS Heart to Your Heart.  This is what God said.  He said, "This building is wonderful and I AM happy (Do you hear Him, He is saying I am happy) I am happy that you have a nice home in which to worship, in which to come and meet in.  

But what makes ME even more happy is when I have a Home, in which to dwell"  And HE is NOT talking about the building Beloved, He's talking about your hearts. He goes on to say: "It is YOU."  (This is the Lord talking to you!) "For it is YOU that is My Dwelling Place. It is You that is My Home. It is Your Heart in which I want to come and make My abode, in which I want to settle down and Marry you.  

The Glory of this building compares NOT to the beauty I find in each one of you.  The Beauty I see in you was the beauty that I created for you to walk in   and to show forth.  Because as you are showing forth that beauty, it's not just the external beauty, it's the beauty of My entire Being that I have deposited inside of you!  You are my "receptacles," you are My 'containers" you are My Carriers of My Glory!  And you are "Living Stones."  This is just a mere building, but, YOU are my church. You ARE MY CHURCH! YOU ARE MY CHURCH! And I have desired for you to understand that when you come together as those Living Stones and you are "fitly" joined together-when it is one built upon the other... line upon line and precept upon precept, it IS a LIVELY Habitation, it IS a LIVING Habitation!  It is not just brick and mortar. But it is a living home in which My Glory and My Honour can show forth from and spread through the land!  And as You step into that place of being My Home and My Tabernacle then My Glory WILL go forth from this place like rivers. Not just trickles, but like rivers!  Like torrents, like a raging flood across the land of Nigeria!

You will change the face of this land, when you change the face of your thinking about "who you are."  Because who you are, is who you are in ME! Not where you came from, not what you have, and not what you don't have.  It is WHO you ARE IN ME, Beloved.

I am not a hard task master. I'm NOT a slave driver.  And I am not an employer looking for employees!   I AM your Loving Father, I AM Your Helper and your Companion.   I AM your husband and I AM your Bridegroom seeking after His Bride!  Wooing you and longing you to seek after Me! But I will be patient! And I will keep calling you.  And I will keep tugging at your heart because I AM not rude  and I AM not unmannerly.   But I will tug, and I will tap and I will woo and I will call unto you... and I will say, '  I'm calling you out with a plan and a purpose. I'm calling you out with things that you know not yet of!  But Beloved if you will seek My Face, NOT my hand of Blessing, which is already... My heart is already there to Bless you... but if you will seek My Face, if you will seek My Heart... I will give unto you the keys to the Kingdom for it IS My Good Pleasure.  And I will open up to you, many things that you not, things that you've not yet seen!  I will whisper into your heart things that your heart has longed to hear, has longed to know of an assuredy, but your mind keeps telling you that you dare not even think that direction... 'for surely He can't love you that much!  But the Truth of the matter is I DO love you THAT MUCH!  And much more than you can imagine.

I want you to come,  and I want you to Dance with Me. Don't worry that you don't know how, that you don't know the step, you don't know the song.  The Song I planted in your heart, for you are my "poiēma."  You are My workmanship, my Poem, My Music, My Cadence upon this Land, My Melody of Love in a world that is full of Clashing, Clanging Chaos.   You, are my Melody of Love!  And if you will come... just put yourself in My arms!  Trust Me.   I will guide you. I will lead you. I will teach you as we go.  Don't worry that you don't know it all, you'll never know it all until you reach Me in Heaven.   But I will give to you more and more as you seek My Face. 

And as you take that time to come into the secret place with Me, you'll become so attuned  to the lightest touch, to  the smallest whisper of My Love, calling to you. and as you lean in to hear that whisper... You'll know!  You'll Know. For I'll have planted it deep within your heart until our hearts beat as One Heart and it will be effortless...like a bird flying, like a  fish swimming...You won't struggle to "be" because you already are My sons and My daughters, My Chosen Ones, My Jewels!  The very thing that I have lived and longed for is relationship with you.   I want My Presence to be constant in your life.  I don't want to be a Sunday visitor that you come into this sanctuary to meet and greet and spend an hour or two with.  No! I want to be your Lover!  I want to be your friend. I want to be your husband.  And when it is just you and Me, when you've put aside everything else and you've shut the door and you've come into the Bridal Chamber with Me.  You will  find out just what a wonderful lover I AM!  Just what a great provider I AM.  When it's "just" you and me... 

I am drawing you and I am longing you and I am calling for you. And I am saying, this is only the beginning.  What you are seeing is only a foretaste of the Glory of My Presence!  Of the Glory of Heaven.   And don't think it is reserved up "there" for you.  It is reserved, waiting for you to pull it down to earth.  Pull it down by faith.  Pull it down and walk in it daily, for it is yours to have! I will not share My Glory with anyone, but I will put My Glory upon you and with in you.  For did not My Scriptures tell you that you carry this Glory, this very Glory, in earthen vessels? !  I remember that you are clay, but you are beautified clay! You're dignified clay! You're glorious clay!  You're on your way to becoming a glorious Body, an unified Body- a Body, A Bride without spot or wrinkle.  That pleases Me so much My Beloved. 

And so I say to you My Bride, Won't you come away with Me?  Won't you ride upon the wind with Me in my Chariot of Desire?  For you've not tasted desire until you've tasted My Desire for you.  It is a burning, consuming fire that will burn out everything that the enemy has tried to trip you up with.   Everything the enemy has tried to put-every bondage, every fear every loneliness, every disappointment, every heartache... All of those things will be consumed in an instant , in the Presence of My Desire for you.    Because I only have eyes for you.   Will you have dove eyes, that only have eyes for Me? Will you be single visioned? Single minded?  Then come away with Me!  And as you focus on Me and not on those things around; those sins, those distractions that so easily beset us[you]...  As you do that, watch and see.  Will I not lift up those gates of iron?  And remove those bars of brass?   And as you are praising Me, doors will fly open in front of you without you even touching them.  Just at the sound of your Praise of My Name!  Doors that have been closed to you for a very long time will fling open wide!  

This is the Word of The Lord to you.  He is saying, Come! Come Away My Beloved.  Come and Dance with ME. Come and see what you've not yet seen. Come and be My Bride! 

He wants to Dance with you through All of Eternity! Won't you come Dance with Him?

Apostle Nancy E. Minor   Nov. 21, 2013

Word for 2013

There are already many "Words" that have been given, this is the piece that God has given to me.  I make it a practice to not read other people's prophecies until I have heard from God for myself about the coming year... so if any of this sounds like something you have already heard, it is because we all share the same Holy Spirit.  I trust that you will be strengthened and edified. God Bless You dear reader and Happy New Year to you!

Word for 2013: 

Look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for not all is as it seems.

As I was contemplating 2013 and asked the Lord for a word… that is what He spoke to me.  I thought about and had a few snapshots in my mind of all these different scenarios that were playing out and what things look like in the natural…   But God’s Word spoke to my heart that there are many things in front of us.  Some are good and some are bad.  But, we cannot walk by sight, or by how we feel. We cannot even use our senses to tell what is really real, for the master deceiver wants to paint a picture so bleak, that we as Christians won’t even open our mouths to speak. But we must speak the Truth of God’s Word.  We must stand on the promises that have always stood. We cannot let go, or draw back now!  We cannot fail to be with Him at the bow.  For though it looks like it, and well you may think, but our ship will not sink, as long as the helm is held by the Masters firm and steady hand. So, it is time to stand! Stand upon your watch to see.  See those things that can not been seen except by the eye of the Spirit as though in a dream.  So stretch out in Faith, dare to believe, that He has given to you what you will need. So now just receive.

Many things are presenting themselves to us, and a great deal of it is in the form of bad news.  2012 has had some disappointments in it and our hope we seem to lose.  Indeed people made promises they could not keep, problems and sorrows seemed to have grown so deep!  Bad things happened with the threat of more in store.  Economic troubles make us want to go hide and just shut the door!  Things heating up in the Middle East, will the drama never cease?  Evil forces want to take Israel down, want to wear her blood like a victory crown.  Israel is not the problem, so don’t cast your blame, for these forces want America’s downfall just the same. The Great Satan they jeer, we don’t want you here! It is the lifelong battle of darkness and light.  But the struggle will not be won only by Power and Might.  It is Spiritual for those who have eyes to see, the natural reminds us of our own mortality.  It all comes down to choices, and what will you choose?  More lies to swallow with more to lose.  Or, trust the light of One you cannot see.  Step out of Babylon’s bondage and finally be free!  The world is a place of wonder and delight, but the world system that runs it, is full of chicanery and fright. So do not look for answers there, the world has nothing which can compare with the Matchless Beauty, The Sovereignty, Truth and Light found in the Heart of God, or the Love which burns so Bright. Jesus is STILL the Answer for the world today. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers or give heed to what they say. Yes, things out there are dark, and the darkness will get only darker still. But now is the finest hour to be a light shining on a hill!  Will you take that upward climb?  Will you, all the follies of this world resign? Truly let your light shine!  When you have given it all to Jesus, then you are living with nothing to lose. So do not fear to come up near, to that old rugged cross so dear.  Divest yourself of all that holds you back, from running fully on that glorious racing track.  Do not look at what you can see, step out in Faith and Trust In ME!

2Co 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

2Co 4:18

(AMP)  Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Two men of God have spoken to me and told me what they hear about 2013. 

Pastor Rusty Bowles has told me it will be a Year of Activation.

Many things will get activated.

Pastor David Carey has said it will be a Year of the Holy Spirit.

Do you see how these two fit together? As we give place to the Holy Spirit and allow activation of our faith and gifts for His service, the Holy Spirit will step in to move through us, move upon us and for us.

Glory!  It is time for a glory invasion. It is time for God’s Presence through His power and signs and miracles to be so in evidence upon this earth!  We have had enough of mediocrity.  It is time for the sons of God to come forth!  Problems present themselves, begging for answers and solutions. We have the Answer!  His name is Jesus. He is the only one who can free us. So be free from the cares of this world. The tyranny and demands that do not belong to us. Truly God cares for us and is our ample reward and our shield. So loose any fear, rise up, be healed, be whole, be still and know! Know that I AM GOD! 

~x~x~x~  

Hallelujah! Amen!

Private Word to All of my sons and daughters:
I release this Word to you:  May you rise up in the strength of HIS Might, Be strong and Courageous and conquer every devil set against you.  I pray His Wisdom be yours, His strategies be revealed to you, and His unlimited provision to flow from His place of blessing, to you.  I speak Apostolic Blessings over you now in Jesus Name.  Rise up, Be strong and Courageous. Meet your adversities head on with renewed confidence and energy. Stay your course and Win. Victory is in sight, if you see it by the eyes of Faith!
Love, Mama/Mum/ Mummy

Focus on Heaven by Pastor Rusty Bowles

Almost everything I am hearing right now is for the body in preparation for the coming outpouring… 

 

God has told me to spend the month of December focusing on heaven and not earth.

He said; 

"Focus on the heavenlies and being seated there. Do not be concerned about the outcome of the recent election, or how congress will act. The government is on My shoulders and I am well able to turn it wherever I want it to go. It is your time to lift up your eyes to the heavens. Lift up your spiritual eyes and see what I am doing and where I am leading my remnant church. Listen to Me with spiritual ears and be ready to obey all that I tell you to do. Banish fear and doubt from your vocabulary. No longer use phrases such as “I fear that” or “I am afraid.”  Walk with Me says God, for it is a season of fulfillment.  Fulfillment of dreams, prophecies and visions. If you will hearken to My voice in this hour you will see things that you thought impossible come to pass."

Waiting for You_Prophetic Word

America waits, some agonizing, many glued to the television, watching numbers as the night crawls by slowly.  We are waiting the announcement.  Who will our next president be?

So too, Heaven waits.  Not just for America to choose a president, but a path of life or a path of death.  This is the same choice that God holds out to every nation on earth.  Heaven awaits your choice earth.  Will you choose God or will you choose self?  Will you choose Kingdom ways, or man's ways? 

Long ago Israel was faced with a similar choice.  To have God as their Head, or to choose a King.  They wanted a king, so they would be like everyone else.  God gave them what they wanted, much to His heartbreak and their own detriment.

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12 & Proverbs 16:25

On a mountain top long ago not once, but twice God gave us choices.   In the wilderness He spoke through Moses and said, "See this day I have set before you, Blessing or cursing, Life or death.  Therefore Choose Life!"  Then again on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross... and once again a choice was given.  The sacrifice of an innocent man for the guilty.  The spotless Lamb of God, to redeem the wretched sinner; ME!  And You! All of you! 

 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.  Genesis4:7 (BBE)

"Awake awake o sleeper! Time has gone by and it is time to arise!  Arise before the Bridegroom cometh! Get thee ready!  Prepare your hearts!  The deceiver comes to deceive many. Do not be among those found drifting, dozing, asleep at the wheel!  Do not be taken in by vain words, swelling lies and promises!  Do not listen to men, Listen to ME, says the Lord!  I will not lie! I do not lead astray.  I have come to show you the way.  The way of Salvation. The way of the Kingdom.  The way of My Heart!  I AM your only refuge. I AM your strong tower!  I am your very present help in time of need!  The kingdoms of this world cannot save you, cannot keep you. Only I can do that!Return to ME, the Giver of Life, the Giver of all that is Good.  Return and be not forsaken, be not barren in the things that matter most!  Return to ME, for I am waiting for you."

Isa 55:1  Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. [Revelation 21:6, 7; 22:17]
Isa 55:2  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. [Jeremiah 31:12-14]
Isa 55:3  Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David. [2 Samuel 7:8-16; Acts 13:34; Hebrews 13:20]

My Love Envelopes You

Word given through a sister during the altar call on Palm Sunday.  It is powerful- let it wash over you and sink in! Be blessed dear ones! Love, Nancy

"You say to me, I love you Lord, but in your heart, you think "my love is so weak and frail". You hear the accusations of the enemy in your ear - he reminds you of the many ways that you have failed - your wrong thoughts, actions and feelings. I ask you this day to change your focus - do not consider your love for me. Your love will always fail. Your love will always fall short. So I say to you this day, to focus, not on your love for me, but on my love for you.

My love for you is perfect. I have loved you with an everlasting love! Greater love has no man than this, that a man will lay down his life for his friends. I LOVE YOU. The cross is the expression of my love for you, the cross is my bridge to get me to you. Wherever you are today, my love can get to you. You are in a place where you think that there is no way out. But I say to you this day that you cannot get so far away, you cannot get so low that my love cannot get to you. 2000 years ago, I saw you where you are right now and because of you, I became the way - so that I can get to you.
 

If you are lost, I am your way back to the father
If you are sick, I am your way to divine health
If you are lonely, I am your way to the father, who has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you
If you are depressed, I am your way to joy unspeakable and full of glory
If you are in need, I am your way to God's storehouse full of supply

The cross is my response, my answer, my provision for every need, situation and problem. When you feel alone, unloved, sick, depressed or discouraged; remember my my love for you. Remember the cross, partake of the cross. The cross is my price paid, for every need. The cross is profound evidence of my love for you. No one took my life, I laid it down. If I laid down my life for you, how will I not freely give you all that you need? Whatever you need, look to the cross, remember my love for you and receive the provision I already made. Because the cross is a declaration of my love for you - says the Lord".

The Book is Open and the Page Has Been Turned - Great Change is Coming!

Theresa Phillips: The Book is Open and the Page Has Been Turned - Great Change is Coming!
by Theresa Phillips   Mar 19, 2012

I was standing on the platform in service; the realm of the Presence was intensifying. I was listening to the worship leader, and I was harmonizing with him when, suddenly, I was keenly aware of a Presence that just happened to be standing next to me. I could feel the heat of breath upon me. I quickly turned my head to see.

I began to sing with all my hear – He was near. I knew the realm of worship was going higher. 

Then I stopped, and I heard an ancient book open and I heard the turning of a page. I could actually smell the paper; it was old, ancient; I felt like it was from another time.

I began to prophesy that a Presence was near me and a book was open and the Presence was turning a page in time. Yes, a fresh page was turning; a new chapter for the Church had begun! It is corporate, and it is intimate at the same time... I was lost in this Presence.

When the service had ended, a lady came to me and said, "I flew in, and I asked God to tell me a page had been turned, a new chapter in my life." I was overwhelmed by this and I was honored our Lord had heard her. But somehow I knew it was not finished. After days of sensing this dear, powerful Presence, I decided I would go back to that platform. I stood in the same spot, and I could feel that lingering Presence. This time, I looked again. I allowed my senses to experience whatever they needed to. I had to know.

I waited, then I saw a being dressed in a suit and tie; He had on a businessman's hat. He spoke to me and said, "I am about our Father's business; I am here to bring change. A good change, a Great Change. The page has been turned, and the book has been written since before time. And now the page has been turned."

Great Change is Coming

A new day, a new season, a new time has been released upon the Church, and many will begin to declare the moments of GREAT CHANGE! Immediately, I went into worship and I could sense He was drawing nearer and nearer. I was sure there was more, so I just loved Jesus, pressing into the Presence of the Kingdom. "More Lord! More Lord!" I cried in my heart, yet I could not utter a word. Without delay, He spoke to my heart with such lovingkindness.  All I wanted was to hear, to know.

Psalm 63:3 Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

Then He began to speak more: "Great change is coming. I am about to change the course of history. The Church is about to receive her King." We began to sing the Christmas carol, "Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room, let Heaven and nature sing, let..."

Then all was still, and He spoke again: "I have awakened My love with a nudge; I am whispering now into the ears of My Bride. Get ready, for many are about to release new devotional books, bright paintings, exuberant dance, fresh revelations from My throne room, and a new sound will be heard. I will have new notes played on old instruments. Get out that old guitar..."

I was thinking, as I heard this, I have heard all this before (my flesh was active); "Pour out Your spirit upon all flesh, Lord; on me"... when again, without delay, He spoke with clarity, "Theresa, this is not like the former; it is the latter, and many will see, not just a few, but many will see." 

"See what, Lord?" I cried. 

"Many will see the tangible glory that I have to release to the Body. I am releasing new glory, fresh signs and wonders, and you will receive it!"

O, how I began to cry in my spirit, "I am groaning with the earth to see this manifestation!"

"Help me, Lord! What shall we see?" I asked. I felt like I was so small and childlike.

"You will see many of the angelic guard enter the quadrangle of My Palace (a courtyard surrounded by a building or several buildings). This angelic guard will release directive for a new resurgence of soul winning."

Hebrews 1:13-14 (KJV) But to which of the angels said He at any time, "Sit on My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?" Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Inside of my heart I felt a leaping and a shouting. I was overcome with great joy. All I could do from that moment was ask and ask and ask for the hearts of men to be open and to see the harvest ready. Teach me again what You want me to know! 

Then He spoke loudly, clearly with confidence, "Theresa, I am praying for My Church...it shall win and not fail."

Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

I cried aloud, "Strengthen me, O Lord!" I cried, "Strengthen me..." when suddenly, I began to weep, "Souls, dear Lord, souls." I knew then that a change had come and that His Presence is here to help us. He gives us strength, courage, grace, and conviction. I was thrilled a page had been turned and a fresh outpouring has begun. It was confirmed by one lady who had asked God to do this. How precious! I was also reminded this was not new to God; it was just fresh. How wonderful!

Thoughts From the Word

Here are some verses to think upon:

Psalm 20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

I felt like the woman in Song of Solomon who cried in the streets, "Have you seen Him? Seen the one I love?"

Song of Solomon 3:3 The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. "Have you seen the one my heart loves?"

Selah... Selah...

Global Word of Prophecy ~ Pastor Rusty Bowles

What is about to be shared could well be the most important message that you will hear in 2012.  It is important, but not because it is from this church and not because I am the one delivering it.  We have been through a year of testing and challenges. Many of us said good-bye to 2011 during a watch night service and hello to 2012.

This year holds great promise for mighty things, but those things are not automatic. God started dealing with me in a deeper and more serious way then He has in a long while. Much is at stake and we have to be ready. Thus, I am publishing this global prophetic word. I truly feel inadequate and if I let the flesh rise up, unworthy, of what the Lord is telling me. It will not be received at first in some areas and possibly never received in others. That cannot be my concern.   

That being said, do you have your sword with you? Turn with me to Daniel 5, and let’s read verses 17-31. 

 Daniel 5:17 - 31 (NKJV) ¹⁷Then Daniel answered, and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation. ¹⁸O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor. ¹⁹And because of the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he executed; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down. ²⁰But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. ²¹Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses. ²²“But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. ²³And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. ²⁴Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written. ²⁵“And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. ²⁶This is the interpretation of each word. Mene: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; ²⁷Tekel: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; ²⁸Peres: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. ²⁹Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. ³⁰That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain. ³¹And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

This is a very prophetic word to the church today. Many ministers have lifted themselves up to a position of power and influence. They have perverted their God given talents and callings into something that makes a nasty smell in the nose of God. They have used pride and arrogance in their ministries and churches to promote themselves and not the kingdom.

Last year every minister was tested. In this year, every minister will be weighed in the scales. What God spoke so very clearly is ‘do not be found wanting.’  Do you understand what that means? This is a final warning. This warning has gone out and now in February the “weighing” has begun.

Some of you reading this are saying, “But, I am not a minister.”  Be very careful with that. Better to divorce yourself from pride [and false humility,] than to find out that you are being weighed.

Understand! This is not about salvation; this is about who God will promote and who God will demote. The process is already starting. I believe it will start with those who will be promoted first because God said He would raise up pastors after His own heart. As it was in (the book of) Daniel, I believe that the demotion or pulling down will be swift. That is why I have to get this word out now. Some will say ‘who are you?’ I am a nothing and a nobody in the world, but I am a servant of the Most High God in the kingdom and so are you. We are going to have to be bold, so you may as well start now.

Still have your sword?  Turn to John 5. Read verses 1-17

John 5:1 - 17 (NKJV) ¹After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ²Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. ³In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. ⁴For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. ⁵Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. ⁶When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” ⁷The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” ⁸Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” ⁹And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. ¹⁰The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” ¹¹He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’” ¹²Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” ¹³But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. ¹⁴Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” ¹⁵The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. ¹⁶For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

This passage was brought out yesterday morning during prayer and it rang through my spirit. What did Jesus do?  What did the Jewish leaders see? All they saw was a lawbreaker.

Nancy’s footnote:

Know this: God IS judging His ministers! If He judged the shepherds of Israel, then how shall the shepherds of His “other flock” (the Church) escape?  Whether we stand behind a pulpit in a church, or whether we minister via phone and internet, in written words or spoken words or song… You/we have been measured.  What will He decide when you are weighed?  Will you be set aside or will you be one who is used by God?  In the Great House, there are many vessels of both Honor and dishonor.  How sad to have been a vessel of Honor only to now be set aside as a vessel of dishonor! Do not be surprised when you see this happening. It is time to examine our hearts lest as the Word says, “we be found wanting…”

According to Acts 10:38 Jesus went about doing good…

Isa 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Ezekiel  (AMP) 34:1-22  And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them, even to the [spiritual] shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the [spiritual] shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?

You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you kill the fatlings, but you do not feed the sheep.

The diseased and weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the hurt and crippled you have not bandaged, those gone astray you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought to find, but with force and hardhearted harshness you have ruled them.

And they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts of the field.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill; yes, My sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth and no one searched or sought for them. [Matthew 9:36]

Therefore, you [spiritual] shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

As I live, says the Lord God, surely because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food for every beast of the field because there was no shepherd--neither did My shepherds search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and fed not My sheep--

Therefore, O you [spiritual] shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My sheep at their hand and cause them to cease feeding the sheep, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more. I will rescue My sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them.

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I Myself, will search for My sheep and will seek them out.

As a shepherd seeks out his sheep in the day that he is among his flock that are scattered, so will I seek out My sheep; and I will rescue them out of all places where they have been scattered in the day of clouds and thick darkness.

And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be; there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

I will feed My sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.

I will seek that which was lost and bring back that which has strayed, and I will bandage the hurt and the crippled and will strengthen the weak and the sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong [who have become hardhearted and perverse]; I will feed them with judgment and punishment. [Luke 19:10]

And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the great he-goats [the malicious and the tyrants of the pasture].

Isaiah it too little for you that you feed on the best pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture? And to have drunk of the waters clarified by subsiding, but you must foul the rest of the water with your feet?

And My flock, must they feed on what your feet have trodden and drink what your feet have fouled?

Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I Myself, will judge between fat sheep and impoverished sheep, or fat goats and lean goats.

Because you push with side and with shoulder and thrust with your horns all those that have become weak and diseased, till you have scattered them abroad,

Therefore will I rescue My flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
