January 16, 2006 – THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL PREVAIL!

Matthew 16:18 and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not (PREVAIL AGAINST IT) overcome it.  19   I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

MY CHILDREN, MANY OF YOU ARE NOT USING THE WEAPONS AND POWER THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU TO STOP SATAN DEAD IN HIS TRACKS.  YOU HAVE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT AND THE POWER OF MY WORD TO BACK YOU.  IF YOU HAVE GIVEN ME CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE (BY ASKING ME TO CLEANSE YOUR SINS AND TO LIVE WITHIN YOU), THEN YOU HAVE THE RESIDENT POWER TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY OF YOUR SOULS AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE.  I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE POWER TO BRING DOWN PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS.  YOU HAVE THE RIGHT (Matthew 16:18) TO COMMAND SATAN TO “GET BEHIND YOU.” Philippians 6:11  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  12  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  13  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR STAND FOR ME AND MY KINGDOM.  ~Rewards for Obedience to God  Isaiah 56:1  This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.  2  Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

WICKEDNESS AND EVIL ARE PREVAILING IN THE WORLD.  MANY ARE CAPTIVE AND DON’T REALIZE THEY ARE PRISONERS.  IT ISN’T SUFFICIENT FOR YOU TO MERELY LOOK UPON YOUR OWN NEEDS, BUT I HAVE SAID THAT YOU ARE TO LOOK UPON THE NEEDS OF OTHERS AS WELL AS YOUR OWN.  WHAT GREATER NEED COULD THE WORLD AROUND YOU HAVE THAN TO BE SAVED FROM THEIR SINS AND TO BE TURNED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS?  YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP EVIL AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS BY BRINGING THE UNRIGHTEOUS TO ME.

ARE YOU LEADING THOSE AROUND YOU ASTRAY OR ARE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD? ARE YOU LIVING A DOUBLE STANDARD?  SETTING A DOUBLE STANDARD ONLY CONVINCES THE SINNER THAT YOUR FAITH ISN’T REAL OR LIFE CHANGING.  YOUR TESTIMONY IS WORTHLESS IF YOU ARE DOUBLE MINDED. 1Corinthians 15:58  Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

PUT ON YOUR ARMOR!  USE YOUR “MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH” TO REMOVE THOSE THINGS THAT SATAN HAS CAST AGAINST YOU TO DEFEAT AND IMMOBILIZE YOU.  HAVE I NOT CALLED YOU TO BE A WATCHMAN OVER YOUR FAMILY AND THIS GENERATION?  YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE MY WORD AND DEFEND MY KINGDOM BEFORE THE WORLD.  YOU SHOULD CLAIM HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THIS PEOPLE AND WITHSTAND THE FIERY DARTS OF THE ENEMY. HE IS TAKING PRISONERS AND I HAVE SENT YOU TO SET THEM FREE.

YOU WILL HAVE TO DEFEND MY KINGDOM THROUGH MY POWER.  YOU DO THIS BY DRAWING CLOSE TO ME, TAKING A STAND FOR HOLINESS, AND FASTING AND PRAYER.  FASTING AND PRAYER WILL BRING POWER INTO YOUR INNER MAN.  YOUR SPIRIT WILL BE FORTIFIED BY THE DENIAL OF THE FLESH (FASTING AND PRAYER) AND YOUR SOUL STRENGTHENED TO DESIRE MY PERFECT WILL. YOU WILL THEN HAVE THE POWER TO CARRY OUT MY PLANS AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE PATH WILL BE CLEARED FOR YOUR  INTERACTIONS WITH THOSE LIVES I WANT YOU TO TOUCH. DO YOU WANT MY SPIRIT WALKING AND TALKING WITH YOU, FIGHTING FOR YOU, AND DELIVERING YOU FROM THE ONSLAUGHTS OF LIFE?  DRAW CLOSE TO ME SO YOU CAN HEAR MY EXHORTATIONS. LIVE DAILY IN MY SHADOW AND YOU WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND FEEL MY PRESENCE WITH YOU. THIS WORLD NEEDS THE MIRACLES THAT I PROMISED TO DO THROUGH YOU. DO NOT LET THE THIEF ROB AND STEAL THOSE THINGS THAT I HAVE FREELY GIVEN THAT SINNERS MIGHT BE SAVED.

MY PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE CONDITION OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU.  LOOK IN YOUR OWN MIRROR AND SEE WHAT EFFECT YOUR LIFE AND AMBASSADORSHIP IS HAVING ON THE WORLD. I PUT YOU IN CHARGE AND GAVE YOU DOMINION OVER SATAN AND THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS. DON’T LET SATAN ROB YOU OF YOUR INHERITANCE AND YOUR POWER TO DO A WORK FOR ME.  Ephesians 1:17  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.  18  I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,  19  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,  Acts 1:8   But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY BODY (OF BELIEVERS) TO AWAKEN TO THE DEVASTATION THAT IS BEING WROUGHT IN YOUR LIVES. THE NATION, THE SCHOOLS AND THE CULTURE OF THIS WORLD HAVE CONFORMED TO SATAN’S EDICTS. YOU HAVE GONE FROM KNOWING MY COMMANDS TO BEING IMMUNE TO MY COMMANDMENTS. “RIGHT” HAS BLURRED UNTIL YOU CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.  YOUR CULTURE  HAS BECOME SO DEGRADED THAT YOU CALL EVIL “GOOD.” YOU SAY, “I AM NOT DOING THOSE THINGS,” YET YOU WATCH OTHERS DO IT ON TELEVISION, ETC.  YOU FILL YOUR MINDS WITH CORRUPTION. YOU ACT AS THOUGH YOU HAVE NO POWER TO STOP SATAN!  YOU ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE BECAUSE I HAVE TOLD YOU TO PUT YOUR “OLD MAN  TO DEATH.”  I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER OVER THE ENEMY.  USE YOUR AUTHORITY!

THE TIME OF CHASTISEMENT FOR THE SINS OF THIS GENERATION HAS COME.  THIS IS MY WORLD THAT I CREATED; EVEN THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS BELONG TO ME.  SATAN HAS STOLEN YOUR DOMINION OVER THE EARTH.  YOU HAVE LET HIM STEAL YOUR LOVED ONES FROM THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Psalms 7:10  My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.  11  God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day.  12  If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.  13  He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.

IT IS BECAUSE OF MY LOVE THAT I MUST POUR FORTH MY WRATH UPON SIN FOR I AM NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH.  MANY OF YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE TOO BUSY WITH YOUR OWN LIVES TO CARE THAT MANY ARE PERISHING WITHOUT THEIR SINS BEING COVERED BY MY BLOOD.  1Corinthians 11:31  But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.  32  When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

THIS IS NOT A LIGHT THING THAT I WILL POUR FORTH ON THE EARTH.  I WILL SHAKE THE VERY FOUNDATIONS THAT I HAVE LAID.  THERE WILL BE NO FOUNDATION THAT MY SPIRIT WILL NOT SHAKE UNTIL AWARENESS OF MY POWER AND PRESENCE IS REALIZED.  YEA, THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS WILL BE SHAKEN.  I WILL SHAKE  ANYONE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT ROOTED IN ME.  Hebrews 12:25  See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?  26  At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

Ezekiel 7:27  The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

Revelations 3:17   You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.  18   I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.  19   Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.  20   Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.  21   To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

MY BELOVED CHILDREN, I DESIRE TO GIVE YOU THE RICHES AND POWERS  OF MY KINGDOM.  YOU HAVE MY LOVE AND ALL THAT PERTAINS TO LIFE AND GODLINESS THROUGH ME.  RECEIVE WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU AND USE IT FOR MY GLORY! Luke 10:18  He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  19   I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.  20   However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
