April 6, 2004 – THE OUTPOURING OF GOD

YOU WILL REJOICE IN ME FOR YOU WILL BEHOLD MY LOVE AND WORKS IN YOUR MIDST.  THE RAIN OF THE SPIRIT SHALL FALL UPON YOU AS A SPRING RAIN AND THERE WILL BE A GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS. YOU WILL BEGIN TO FLOURISH UNDER THE HAND OF THE LORD THY GOD.

YEA, I WILL MAKE A GREAT STIRRING IN THE CITY, IN THE COUNTRY AND AMONG THE NATIONS.  EYES WILL BEGIN TO TURN HEAVENWARD AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL LEAD MANY INTO THE KINGDOM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.  WHAT A BLESSED GENERATION YOU ARE!  MANY GENERATIONS HAVE LONGED FOR THE OUTPOURING OF GOD UPON THEM AS RAIN FALLING FROM HEAVEN, TO CAUSE THE BODY OF CHRIST TO GROW INTO ITS FULL POTENTIAL AS A POWERFUL BEACON FOR GOD AND AN ENEMY TO ALL EVIL.  THERE WILL BE A MIGHTY UPHEAVAL AGAINST SATAN AND HIS FORCES OF CORRUPTION AS THEY WORK TO DESTROY THE SOULS OF MEN.  THE BEAUTY OF GOD’S HOLINESS WILL BE SEEN IN THE LAND.  MY TRUTH WILL BE SPOKEN IN POWER BECAUSE OF MY ANOINTING UPON MY CHILDREN.  REVELATIONS OF GOD WILL BE OPENED TO THE UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE OF MY CHILDREN.  THERE WILL BE VISIONS AND SPIRITUAL DREAMS SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW THE PATH I HAVE CHOSEN FOR THEM AND THE WORKS I HAVE PREPARED FOR THEM.  I AM ARMING MY CHILDREN WITH POWER TO OVERCOME SATAN AND ALL HIS WORKSZECHARIAH 4:6 So he said to me, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. THE SICK WILL BE HEALED AND THE CAPTIVE WILL BE SET FREE.  MANY WILL TURN FROM DARKNESS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS (right standing with God).  ALL OF THIS IS TO READY THE “CALLED ONES” TO PLUCK THE WAYWARD AND LOST AS BRANDS FROM THE BURNING. ZECHARIAH 3:2  The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”  3  Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.  4  The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.”  ALLOF THESE WORKS SHALL BE DONE BEFORE I TAKE MY BELOVED TO EVER BE WITH ME. 1THESSALONIANS 5:9  For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.  10  He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.  11  Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

~The Mystery of Resurrection  1CORINTHIANS 15:50  I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.  53  For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.  54  When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 

DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO BRING PEACE.  MY WORD DECLARES I HAVE COME TO BRING A SWORD.  MATTHEW 10:34   Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  35   For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –  36   a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’  37   “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;  38   and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.  39   Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. YOU WILL SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE, BUT MY CHILDREN WILL BE VICTORIOUS OVER EVIL FOR YOU WILL TURN MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. MATTHEW 24:8   All these are the beginning of birth pains.  9   “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  10   At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,  11   and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  12   Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,  13   but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.  14   And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

THOSE THAT STAND FAITHFUL AND TRUE TO THE END WILL RECEIVE A CROWN.  2TIMOTHY 4:8  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.  1THESSALONIANS 2:19  For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?  1PETER 5:4  And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

WHEN MY SPIRIT IS POURED FORTH IN GREAT POWER, THE OLD SERPENT WILL AROUSE HIMSELF IN GREAT ANGER TO PROTECT HIS KINGDOM FROM BEING ROBBED OF THE SOULS OF THE CONDEMNED.  MY CHILDREN DO NOT FEAR!  I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER OVER THE ENEMY AND HE THAT IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.  LUKE 10:19   I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.  2TIMOTHY 1:7  For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO HONOR ME IN ALL THINGS!  TOTAL CONSECRATION OF YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILY IS WHAT I DESIRE FROM YOU.  ROMANS 6:13  Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.  1PETER 1:15  But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE BATTLE AHEAD, CLEANSE, AND CONSECRATE YOUR VESSELS UNTO ME SO THAT I MIGHT FILL YOU WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.  I CANNOT FILL AN UNCLEAN VESSEL WITH DIVINE OIL.  WAKE UP AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD. EPHESIANS 6:13  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.  14  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  15  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  16  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  17  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  18  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. LUKE 11:21   “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.  22   But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.

YOU ARE MY WITNESSES FOR THIS GENERATION! DO NOT WASTE MY SPIRIT ON YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT (AS A TOY TO SATISFY YOUR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS). THE SPIRIT IS YOUR POWER TO GO FORTH AND “WITNESS”.  YOU WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF EVERY IDLE WORD AND DEED BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST!  IN MY LOVE, I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU AND HAVE PRESERVED YOUR ETERNAL SOUL THROUGH THE BLOOD OF MY BELOVED SON.  I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TELLING OTHERS AND TO LEAD THEM TO ME.  ISAIAH 43:10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.  11  I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.  HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF A LOST SINNER WOULD SAY AT THE JUDGMENT BAR OF GOD, “THEY WERE MY FRIENDS BUT THEY DID NOT SPEAK OF THEIR SAVIOR SO I DO NOT KNOW HIM OR KNOW HOW TO FIND HIM”?  1PETER 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
