January 2, 2008
The Lord wanted me to publish this today with Stacey Campbell and it was posted exactly a year ago to this date.
Stacey Campbell: "CHANGING TIMES, CHANGING SEASONS--A HARVEST OF BILLIONS!"
"And the forms and the structures--they're coming down from the old wineskin, and a new wineskin is being built."
January 2, 2007--Maricopa, Arizona
Below is a transcribed prophecy which was given by Stacey Campbell on January 2nd, 2007 in Maricopa, Arizona, at a gathering hosted by Patricia King from Extreme Prophetic. Patricia invited a group of prophetic people/ministers to gather and to celebrate, and to seek the Lord for the new year.
Changing Times. Changing Seasons
And when John the Baptist said, "Behold the Lamb of God," all the structures--they broke down. They came down...falling down...it literally fell down. First in his body, then in the natural in 70 AD.
Living Stones
Everything they knew came down. Because we're living stones. Living stones! Living stones! The life is not in the form. The life is in the stone. The DNA is in the brick.
A City Made of Stones
God is building His Church and the final revelation of the Church in Heaven is not even the bride, it's a city--a city made of stones. And a light comes out of the stones to all the nations.
And all the stones come around the temple, and God is the temple in the middle of the stones. The Lamb is the temple, and the Lamb is the light. There's no light, but the temple in the middle of the stones. The living stones!
Great Transformation
There's a great transformation going on in the Body of Christ in the globe. And the forms and the structures--they're coming down from the old wineskin, and a new wineskin is being built, but it's very hard to discern.
The people are looking for it and they say, "Is this it? Is that it? Is this the Christ? Is this the One? Is this the form? Is this the structure?" And all over the earth they're looking for the form that can contain the presence of God.
A Harvest that is So Big...
But what is coming? The harvest that is coming is so big, it cannot be contained in one structure. Even as the first structure was completely destroyed so that one stone was not left upon the other. The Church as you now know--it will never be the same! And this is the key--the life is in the bricks.
The Stones Are Alive!
Living stones. They're alive! They're alive! They're alive! They're ALIVE they contain His Spirit! So the key is not to discern the form, but the key is to discern the brick.
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you in God? It comes from God and to God it shall return and it shall surround His presence forever and ever and ever and ever and ever in Heaven!
Who Are You?
Whenever you discern the "form" without discerning the "stone", you will have a temporary structure that will not last. But whenever you discern the stone, uh huh, uh huh, I see that stone! I know that stone--that's an Apostolic stone. That's a Prophet stone. That's a healing stone! And you begin to let the old stones go with the young stones. The male stones go side-by-side with the female stones.
Joel 2 and Acts 2. It's coming again, it's coming again! And when you discern the stone correctly, you can build a multiplicity of containers that contain less. That are less. That hold life. That hold the living, flowing presence of God.
It's too Small if it is Only a Structure
There will be a multiplicity of containers, but the stones, they're eternal! Eternal stones coming down from Heaven like a bride adorned. A city that is a bride. Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem, the holy city is like the bride.
When you discern the stones, you will put those living stones that contain life together with other living stones that contain life, and they will build a container for the times to house the presence of God. But if you only have a form, it's too small, it's too small, it's TOO SMALL if it's merely a structure.
It's too small! It will NEVER be able to contain what God is about to do on the earth in terms of harvest!
A Harvest of Billions
There is a harvest coming that is so big, millions and millions and millions. Yea, a billion souls harvest that will need stone joined with stone, joined with stone united, and not divided!
Discerning the life in the brick! The jagged bricks; the old, old, smooth bricks; the grainy bricks all fitting together to form a container for HIM. For HIM! For HIM! For HIM! And for Him, let it be on earth like it will be eternally in Heaven!"
Build a Church that the Gates of Hell will Never Prevail Against
Build your Church Lord Jesus. Build a Church that the gates of hell will never, ever, ever prevail against. Build it, build it, build it out of the little ones! Build it out of the teens. Build it out of the old bricks. Build it out of all the bricks.
The apostles, YES, the apostles. The prophet, the teachers, the evangelist, and the pastors all coming together as living stones to form a container for His holy presence.
Let it be on the earth just like it is in Heaven!

The Trumpet: Bill Burns (http://ft111.com/thetrumpet.htm)
January 2, 2008: I had a vision of the place that the Lord is bringing us to called "The New Plateau." In that vision I saw that the beginning of 2008 will be like a river that comes from the plateau. As we get into the river there will be a bit of a struggle and it will take effort to go upstream. It is a mighty, rushing river. But, as you reach a certain point in that supernatural river, because of your persistence, suddenly the flow of the river will change and God's favor and grace will carry you to this new plateau. So, begin the journey upward, take hope and enjoy the journey!
January 1, 2008: Come into My presence and receive strength, peace and joy. Prophesy My strength over your being, for surely you are Mine, and My power abides within you. Rise up in faith and declare that you are free. Rise up in faith and believe that I am for you. I say, no longer take the role of the victim, but refocus now and step into your position as My child, as a priest and as a king in My kingdom. If you will position yourself as such, My goodness will overtake you, and My strength will be found abiding in you. Healing and the glory of resurrection shall abide within, and you shall rise up in My presence. I will touch you with the flashing rays of My hand, and you will receive power to go forth in strength and faith and righteousness as one of Mine, says the Lord.
Marsha Burns (http://ft111.com/smallstraws.htm) Small Straw in a Soft Wind
January 2, 2008: Beloved, don't look back. The past is behind and your future awaits. Take each moment as it comes and rely on Me for strength, courage and wisdom to negotiate the demands and complete the requirements of the time. You do not stand as a solitary figure, alone to face the world, for I am with you whether you can discern My presence or not. And, I will supernaturally empower you to arise and go forth in My power and might, says the Lord. Zechariah 4:6 So he answered and 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 of hosts.
January 1, 2008: Rejoice that a new day is dawning in which you can rise up to new levels of understanding My kingdom. If you will seek Me with your whole heart I will open spiritual doors that will allow you to receive all that you need. Do not be afraid of what lies before you because I am with you wherever you go to pour out My blessings upon you in abundance as you are careful to obey My word. Listen for My still, small voice to give you direction in every circumstance, says the Lord. Isaiah 45:1-3 "Thus says the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held––to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: ‘I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
December 31, 2007:
Revelation That Overcomes
You will arise to a new level of overcoming. You have already begun to see patterns in your life that have consistently opened the door to the enemy’s work against you. These patterns will become increasingly apparent as you progress and punish disobedience with your obedience. Rejoice in this process.
Your struggle is not over, but if you look back you can see that victory has come more speedily than in times past. This is because you have learned to release your anger and bitterness and have refused the victim position. You will continue to rise up to defeat the enemy more effectively as you choose to exercise your faith in Me to bring you through.
Do not be afraid of unknown challenges that lie ahead. You cannot fight the battle until you see the enemy and discover his method of attack. Rest in the assurance that My grace is sufficient, and that I will bring you through to victory as you yield to the leading of My Spirit, says the Lord. Luke 12:11-12 "Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
This indeed is a season when you discover in greater dimension the power to overcome every obstacle. Old mindsets that bring defeat to you will become crystal clear. It will be like suddenly awakening from a dream to see the absolute reality of your existence and spiritual dominance.
High Place of Discernment
I am lifting you up to a high place spiritually where you can see the valley below with great clarity. You will no longer see the world and people around you with natural eyes, but you will see through eyes of discernment that penetrate through the veil that separates flesh and spirit.
Be prepared to have the eyes of your understanding enlightened. I will cause you to grasp the wisdom of things you have not been able to comprehend. This will enable you to overcome obstacles and walk in confidence and victory.
You have already had significant breakthroughs in understanding how the spirit realm affects your body and soul, but I tell you honestly that your level of comprehension is not even half of what you will come to know and grasp. Every new revelation will become your possession and strengthen you.
If you ask anything in My name, according to My will. I will do it. I will teach you and show you by My Spirit the difference between what you want according to your carnal nature and what My will is. It will be a divine separation of soul and spirit. Yield yourself completely to this process. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I Am Your Pilot:
Things have not worked out exactly as you expected. This is because you cannot see the end from the beginning. I have designed it to be this way so that you can be built up in faith and know that I am with you to direct you along your path to destiny. Take delight in the fact that I am your Pilot, and I will maneuver you through even the most dire straits.
Don’t miss or overlook opportunities that look small and insignificant by looking too far out and focusing on the big picture. I have great things in store for you, but you must not despise the days of small beginnings. Job 8:7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
I say, establish clear boundaries and reorder your priorities, so that My blessings can flow like a river – uninterrupted. The temptation will be to create your own blessings and to depend on your own strength to accomplish your desires, but I hold all power over heaven and earth. Depend on Me to cause you to be fruitful. Your accomplishments are of a temporary nature, but what I produce in you is everlasting.
Your most difficult days are behind you. You have endured much and been strengthened by your perseverance. Truly you are stronger now than you have ever been. Your faith has been tested through many trials and tribulations, and you have come through in victory. I count your faithfulness as righteous.
You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby!
You’ve come a long way, baby, but you have not yet gone as far as you can go. The possibilities for your life have not been exhausted. On the contrary, you will be surprised and delighted at what I have in store for you. But, you will have to hold your own dreams and desires loosely to allow My will to manifest so that you can receive the best that I have for you, says the Lord. Trust Me!
Prepare to be stretched. But, know that you will not be challenged beyond your ability to accomplish what is set before you. Trust Me for strength to overcome and endure. It is true that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Those things in your life that seem to have been fragmented or left undone will now be brought to a conclusion as the door to the past is shut and a new and exciting door is opening before you. Rejoice in this time of new life and hope.
Breaking The Chains
I am taking you step by step through the things that have consistently made you stumble and lose heart. It will be like breaking the chains one link at a time so that you can see clearly the nature of the bondage, and you will never again be ensnared as in days gone by. Rejoice in a new level of liberty, says the Lord.
There have been times in your life when you have swung between two poles, one of ultra hope and blessing and the other abject poverty and hopelessness. If you will yield to the work of My Spirit along these lines, I will bring you from extreme ups and downs to a plateau of spiritual reality and faith. For, certainly I am the Author and Finisher of your faith, and I will establish you on this level ground.
Refuse to allow the enemy to use condemnation to remove you from the flow of revelation by the Spirit. His tactics won’t be anything new. Expect the same old lies that bring guilt, shame, and rejection. But, now I will give you greater capacity to see quickly and deal with the attacks, so that your times of oppression will be immediately cut off like awakening from a bad dream.
I am releasing healing in you that will wash away the rejection and failures from the past and equip you to go forth with wisdom and endurance. Let go of the labels that have been assigned to you by various people and circumstances, for I call you My beloved.
Open Doors
Prepare to make some of the most important decisions of your life as I present opportunities that you could never have imagined. You are Mine, and My plan is to establish you and bless you in ways that will remove even the vaguest remembrance of past disappointments and struggles.
I will open doors before you, and you will behold new vistas and prospects for the future that you really never dreamed of. And, I will bring you by a way that you have not known and make your feet like hinds’ feet that will enable you to negotiate even the most difficult of paths. You will scramble up the craggiest places as though it were level ground because I am with you to make the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth.
You will have choices to make in the days ahead that have the potential to change the landscape of your life forever. Seek Me for wisdom, and choose wisely. If you ask for wisdom, I will certainly give it to you.
In this season you must recapture the gifting and flow that you once embraced. In the passage of time and circumstances you lost confidence, but now is the time when you can reclaim what was rightfully yours from the beginning. You cannot go back to the old manifestation of your gift because it had to become like a seed that fell to the ground and died in order to take root and grow up in you to produce fruit for this time. Be open and yielded, says the Lord.
Words from the Lord through Marsha Burns: (http://ft111.com/smallstraws.htm)
December 21, 2007: Face the things you dread. Ignoring difficult circumstances will not make them go away. If you will courageously face your difficult trials you will find that I have been there the whole time to give wisdom and direction and to bring you through in dignity and victory. I am your help in troubled times, and My grace is sufficient to every task. Do not be afraid to confront, and do so with the determination and confidence that you are not alone in this battle, says the Lord. Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
December 20, 2007: Beloved, there are always two roads before you -- one that always leads to and produces life in you and everyone and everything around you. The other leads to death and destruction, and it also affects everyone and everything around you. You will choose the path you take by the decisions you make daily. If you cannot decide what to do in any situation push each option to its ultimate logical conclusion, and ask Me to give you the wisdom you need to choose wisely, says the Lord. Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live."
December 19, 2007: I had a dream about trying to go back to a place from my past, and it was really hard. This was the dream: I had been offered a job with a brokerage firm and had been given office space that I would share with someone. In the meantime, a woman from our church wanted me to braid her hair, but I didn't have time because I needed to get to work. I had trouble finding the office building and then trouble finding the elevator and then trouble finding the door to my office. Once I got there the guy that I shared the space with could see that I was distraught. I began to not want to make the calls necessary to develop a client base or to read the Wall Street Journal or Reuter's every day. I didn't want the stress of setting up another computer or proving myself to my new associates. So, my office mate talked to me about being in a wrong place and not going through with this new venture associated with my past. I felt so lost and out of the flow, so I took his advice and walked away from it. I believe this dream is not just a warning to me but perhaps to many in the Body of Christ, and it has to do with resisting the temptation to go back to old places that were once lucrative or presented some place of security (stockbrokers deal in "securities.") Trying to go back will take us out of the flow of the Spirit because the flow never takes us backwards, but always moves us forward. The woman in the dream has to do with places of ministry, and the fact that I had no time for her represents a wrong focus and misplaced priorities. I believe my office-mate represents the Holy Spirit who will keep us from making wrong choices.
December 18, 2007: Beloved, pay attention and observe. Things that have been problematic and uncertain will now begin to be settled and fall into place. You will suddenly be aware that your inward struggle and worry did not help one bit. Let this time be a mile-marker in your journey that will always bring to remembrance the certainty of My mercy and grace. Certainly, I am with you to bring resolution to every dilemma and to simplify even the most complex problems. Trust Me with your whole heart, says the Lord. Lamentations 3:22-25 Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
THE TRUMPET
"Set the trumpet to your mouth!" Hosea 8:1
Prophetic Utterance through Bill Burns
(http://ft111.com/thetrumpet.htm)
December 19, 2007: It is time for you, My people, to believe My word and act like you believe. It is time for you to arise and activate your faith and nurture a strong developing faith that will prevail over all of the works of the enemy. For too long, the devil has brought delusion, and he has promoted lies among you. I am the Lord of Hosts who comes to you to lay My sword upon your shoulder to deem you knighted for such a time as this to be a warrior in the Kingdom of God, never to retreat or back up. I say to you, if you will arise and draw near to Me and resist the devil he will indeed flee from you, and you shall have the victory, says the Lord.
December 18, 2007: It is imperative that My people use the last two weeks of this year as a time of rejoicing for the goodness of the Lord. This rejoicing will open the door for the Father’s great grace and divine favor that will come in 2008 – the year of the open door. On some level victory has come to ALL of My people in this season, but you may not understand the fullness of it at this time. Again, I say rejoice, for if you do, the fulfillment of that which has begun in the spirit will manifest in your lives in this next season, says the Lord.
December 17, 2007: Please listen and understand that I told you that you would begin to hear the sounds of heaven as they came to earth, for with My sound comes My vibration, which brings the opportunity for change within your spirit. What change would that be? It would be a realignment of your spirit with heaven that you may experience the joy of your King and the peace of the kingdom. Indeed, you will hear the sounds that were prophesied. It is time now for you to know experientially that I have prepared an atmosphere in which the vibration of My sound invades your spirit and atmosphere whereby I can touch you at the very roots of your existence. As I bring My sound to your spirit, allow it to change you and align you with My glory. Let Me touch you and open the doors of the Spirit and bring the times of refreshing that you so earnestly desire. You will look back soon and declare that this past year was both the best and the hardest of your existence. You faced many trials and yet you experienced My glory and blessings as well. These times were for your good and for your strengthening and growth so that the eyes of your understanding would be opened and that you might begin to know that I am in control of your destiny as I will unfold it before you day by day. As you walk the paths of your destiny the doors of My kingdom will continue to open before you. Get ready for the next season, for it will bring forth greater joy and fewer trials. You, My people, have been overcomers even when you thought you had failed. For, I lead you always in triumph, and you shall see the glory of your King who leads and guides you. Receive the gift of great joy and peace. Make it yours, for it will make you ready for the season that lies before you, which shall be called The Season of the Open Door. In fact, many doors will open that you will walk through, and each door will show you an aspect of the Kingdom. It will show you the specific work being done in you at that time. Each door will provide an opportunity for you to come higher. Lay hold of this sound of heaven as it comes to you. Allow it to be the strength of My presence in you, says the Lord.
December 10, 2007: This is the Day of My power, says the Lord, and I will lift up your head; I will cause you to walk in divine authority. This is a time when you can be all that I have called you to be and a season when you must draw near to Me and resist the devil until he flees from you. My desire is that you experience My presence, for these are the days of the revealing of My glory. Walk it out and be amazed. I have prepared for you things that you cannot even imagine or perceive. I will show you things that you have not known but have longed to see and understand. I will reveal these things to you, and you will experience My kingdom in a new, fresh and powerful way.
December 4, 2007: I have already spoken to you that I would come to you in this season between Thanksgiving and the Celebration of Life. I said I would bring unto you gifts. This day I declare to you that the first gifts you will receive are joy and peace. It is My purpose to bring you joy that is full of glory. It is My purpose to bring you the peace that passes all understanding. I give these to you, My people, so that you might rejoice and take pleasure in the Kingdom. I want you to learn to express joy in My kingdom; express it to Me for salvation; express it to others for their godly influence in your life; express your joy for all that I have done for you and will do, says the Lord, and surely you shall find peace.

JUST WEIGHTS (Robin Gatto)
I Am giving weights out today. These weights are My weights saith the Lord. I Am handing these weights to my just ones throughout the earth. It will be deposited within them. Therefore, wherever these just ones walk there will be justice carried out..... My justice.... My glorious justice.
Have I not said since the beginning of time that I am a Just God. This is a season of Justice... so judge yourself and you will receive your "just reward."
I tell you many have need to repent in this hour, but also I see many who will be rewarded when My justice comes into their presence. See justice come suddenly... not only to My body but to the courts of this country.
United States of America I tell you that you will be Mine, you are Mine, and no judge can overturn what I rule...
My rules and decisions are just. I tell you that the judges hearts are in My hands and I will turn them.
Injustice NO longer will you rule in My Church saith God, for I have come with My justice.
Pray for My justice to invade your home, your schools, your churches, your community, your state, your country, the legislature, and government. I tell you today you will hear and see justice all around you. Judge yourself and repent of any injustice on your part (judging others and pouring out wrath where I have anointed and appointed people).
Watch for My love to come behind this justice and it will invade everywhere My Justice flows. Hearts will turn. Stand up My bride for I have a just reward for those who have been in the desert, who have been tested. YOU PASS saith the Lord.... You Pass!!!!
Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you. Deut 16:20 NIV.
Do not deprive the alien or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. Deut 24:17 NIV
But with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4 NIV
I have not spoken in secret, in a corner of the land of darkness; I did not call the descendants of Jacob [to a fruitless service], saying, Seek Me for nothing [but I promised them a just reward]. I, the Lord, speak righteousness (the truth--trustworthy, straightforward correspondence between deeds and words); I declare things that are right. Isaiah 45:19 AMP
8 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: 9 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.' Zech. 7: 8-10 NIV
18 "Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out;
no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he leads justice to victory.
21 In his name the nations will put their hope.” Matt 12: 18-21 quoting Isaiah 42:1-3
4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " 6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18: 4-8 NIV.
[ The Rider on the White Horse ] I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. Rev. 19:11 NIV
11/15/07: The Lord led me to do a google search for the world's tallest building to confirm His word, "New Beginnings," below that He gave. Here is the webpage directing you to this building. According to news, as of October 24, 2007 (two weeks after His word that He gave me) the Burj Dubai webpage reported that it had completed 156 stories making it the world's tallest buidling. Here are a couple of sites to confirm it. God does confirm His word! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Dubai ) (http://www.burjdubai.com/ )
I'm publishing this prophetic word by Chuck Pierce because it confirms the word the Lord gave me in October. I have Chuck Pierce's word of the Lord and then the word the Lord gave me right after it. Please let this sink into your spirit because we are entering the season of NEW BEGINNINGS
November 10, 2007
CHUCK PIERCE:
"WAIT! The Lord is Realigning and Developing Our Faith in the Next THREE MONTHS"
Recently, I sent out the first portion of a prophetic word the Lord brought to us during one of our Tuesday Morning Prayers. The word encourages us to "wait for His Presence, hear the heartbeat and get in synch with His best for you." Much response came from this prophetic word. I now feel it is time for the remainder of the word to be released. The second part of the word is below. This encourages us to understand that the faith window is changing and the Lord is "realigning and developing our faith in the next three months." Read and pray this word over yourself.
Prophetic Word of the Lord from Chuck Pierce
"You might ask yourself, 'Why have I been positioned here in this mundane job when all I want to do is worship You?' I would say, You are there because of timing. Otherwise, you would get out of time, and touch the ark, rather than follow behind or carry the ark. Enjoy and celebrate the mundane assignments and then you will see your ark move."
"This is a season that I am teaching My people how to enter into My presence. You must have My Presence to secure your future. Without you being where I have placed you NOW, you could never understand My presence for your future. I am developing a testimony in you. Because of this testimony, you truly will enter into the new beginning and be repositioned in days ahead. Allow Me to develop and create the image for your future. If you will stand and allow Me to prosper everything you put your hand to, no matter how mundane and insignificant it seems to you, then you will prosper."
"O afflicted one, tossed and thrown, I am coming to comfort you. My Voice will call you up in a new way. Do not try to come up in the same way you have come up in the past, for this is a day of new beginnings. In this new beginning, I am bringing a renewal of covenant to My people. I am breathing on the way that I am agreeing with My people. You are in agreement with some things that you must let go of. I am not in agreement with those things. Break agreement, that I might renew My covenant with you. You are in agreement with the way you see yourself, and that is not the way I see you. Unless you get My image, you cannot be transformed for your future. You must see yourself the way I see You."
"It is the sure mercies of David that I am calling forth. They come through Me and agree as ONE. I have taken you through the caves and the wilderness, but now I am ready to bring you to a new beginning. The only thing that can stop this new beginning is you not yielding to Me or not receiving instruction from those I position in your path to help you find the new way. If you agree with Me, then My sure mercies that I poured out on My servant David, I will pour out on you. It was the witness that I was forming in him that enabled him to lead. Many of you are wanting to be out front without My witness. Wait for Me to witness in your spirit before you go forward."
"This is a day of rearranging leadership and preparing you with enhanced skills. I AM causing talents that have lain dormant within you to come forth. This is My new beginning, so you must let Me go before you to prepare that new beginning for you and bring you fully into it. Seek Me, while I may be found, for this is a month of seeking. There will be three months to develop faith in a new way in you. My word will become strong and you will be called forth into that place. You will find yourself establishing and breaking the ground I have given you, but you must allow Me to prepare you to stand on new ground."
"My people do not have the mind for super-abundance nor do they have the strength to carry extra baskets. This is a season that extra baskets must be carried by My people and you must carry them together. Some of you would love to grab your baskets and run, but that will not get you into the fullness of the place where I would establish you."
"Find what I have given you, but know that I can cause it to multiply. Where you did not have anything but a sack, I can multiply it into 12 baskets, but there is no way you can carry the 12 baskets by yourself. You must get realigned and find those to work with you. Know that it is the delight of My heart to bring My people into this new place."
"The new beginning has begun. I am teaching My presence in a new way. Do not look at ministry in the way that others have, for this is a time of developing witness and not a time of causing My people to be seen as ministers. My word does not return to Me void, but it produces a fullness. Watch for the fullness of My word to manifest. My ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. You are limiting My high ways to your thought processes. I have other 'highways' for you to travel and other ways for you to step in. You have gotten caught in the midst of a machine and it is not what I am doing in your life. It is producing a blueprint that is NOT what I long for others to see in your life."
"In your gleaning, be very satisfied, for I am very near to you in the midst of the gleaning fields. Listen to My word and listen to My way, for others are watching you in a way that you have never been watched before. You are longing to gain audience with one and it is someone else that I am causing to see you. Even now, there are Pharaohs who are watching and observing you, and it is those that will favor you, My people."
"This is a day of transference of wealth, but you must be connected with those who have amassed it for My Kingdom plan. I know who can release it. I can realign it. This word will not return void. If you will wait for your heart to realign, then instead of void and chaos being on your path, there will be baskets full of My blessings. Wait and watch, for My presence has now realigned with you, and you will be aware of My presence at every turn."
I would encourage you to read Isaiah 55. Verse 2 says, "Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance." Tell your soul to rise up and delight in abundance. The desires of your heart must be in alignment with the delight of God to experience His abundance. I am asking for the hearts of God's people all over the globe to delight in His abundance. If you are striving over supply, stop, until you can delight in abundance.
The Lord is saying, "Incline your ear and come to Me." I decree that you are going to hear how to come forth. You will not come forth in the same way as you did in the past because the Lord is not calling you forth in the same way.
Blessings,

New Beginning
Robin Kirby-Gatto/11-2-07 (word given 10-9-07)
(The Lord would not let me rest until I published this word. He gave it to me during a time of ministry to Him.)
Beginning: to come into existence; arise; originate (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/beginning)
For I say that many will turn to me in this hour. Many have been tested and found tried and true. I will NOW open the door to the fullness of My Spirit saith the Lord.
For I have longed for this time and it is here. The time of beginning is here. The time is here. You have asked, many have asked and pleaded for new beginnings.
I say that I Am your New Beginning. I am the Alpha and Omega.
You have been building a firm foundation. Now watch the buildings arise all over the world. Watch the buildings spring up. For a sign unto you will be a building that is the tallest in the world (see above for the web page to the largest building's web page). It will spring up suddenly and this will be a sign to you .....
that I'm bringing up my apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Get ready for the Beginning for I tell you it is HERE!
(I then asked the Lord, the beginning of what? He said the harvest..... "look up for the harvest is here." He has been preparing His harvesters to reap the harvest of souls. We have been in the furnace of affliction, burning the chaff out of us. He wants to release the full measure of the seven-fold Spirit of God (Isaiah 11:2 and Rev 4:5) to His church.)
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.Revelation 22:13 NIV
[ The Beginning ] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIV
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NIV

Come Beloved:
My Beloved, you who are called by My name, do you know how I long for you to come sit by My side – to allow My arms to wrap around you and hold you close? Come close Sweet One and allow Me to love you. Allow Me to wipe the tears from your cheek and take the trauma from your heart.
Do not stand aloof from Me doubting My love and care for you. You have not wronged Me. I see Your struggles and I struggle with you. The suffering you face, have faced, and will face will fade in the light of My glory.
Come My Loved One and sit with Me. Let Me show you how I will redeem what you have thought was lost. In My light you will see that nothing, not even the precious thing taken, has been lost. No Beloved, it is all in My hands. I hold everything in the palm of My hands, so give your heart the peace that it needs in knowing that in My love there is nothing lost – nothing broken.
As I have told you, this is a season of restoration and you will look back, at a time not far from now, and behold all that has been restored to you. In that day of revelation you will stand amazed and rejoice praising the Lord your God for what has been done. On that day may you look up to where your help drew nigh and give praises to your Father who loves you.
Come Beloved, come and gaze into My eyes and look deep into the pools of revelation. Allow Me to speak to your heart so that you can not only have peace in the storm, but you can speak peace into the storms. This gift is not only for your benefit but for the benefit of those around you. Just as I calmed the storm for My disciples, you will calm the storms for those who come to you for guidance. Because you lead them to Me, and have not taken them for yourself, I will multiply the arrows in your quiver.
Come My Beloved, My Lovely One, come and let Me show you the universe as I see it – the true way it was designed. Let Me show you what it looks like through My eyes. Listen to My voice and hear the sounds of creation through My ear. Do you not know that this was all created for you? All of creation groans to see you walk in the authority I gave My life for you to have. I want you to walk in the truth and in the understanding of the universe I created. I created it for you! I created it for your good pleasure.
Come My Beloved, My Friend, My Passion. Come and sit with Me and let Me love you the way you were intended to be loved. You can trust Me. I will never hurt nor will I abandon you. I Am Faithful and I love you with an everlasting love.
So come Beloved. Come and sit in the light of My glory and let Me love you. Come and see where I intend to take you. The heights I will take you will cause every particle of your being to throb with joy.
Come Beloved, I Am waiting for you.

November 8, 2007: Refuse to sit down or give up. This is no time to get overwhelmed, but rather continue your forward motion in a positive progression. Long-standing problems and dilemmas are about to be resolved, and when this transitional time has ended you will have a greater sense of safety and stability. Trust Me to supply the wisdom and guidance that you need to overcome and conquer opposing forces and circumstances, says the Lord. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world––our faith.
November 7, 2007: As you let go of the past and move to a new plateau spiritually, it will affect every area of your life. Expect change on every front, and be prepared to make decisions that will release you into new realms of experience and blessing. Yield to My Spirit, and I will take you higher. Do not be afraid to make the changes that present themselves to you, for I am with you, says the Lord.
Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

Isa 60:1-5 AMP
1 ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [Zech 8:23.] 2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. [Isa 60:19-22; Mal 4:2; Rev 21:2,3.]
3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. [Isa 2:2,3; Jer 3:17.] 4 Lift up your eyes round about you and see! They all gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms. 5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance] and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] Sea shall be turned to you, unto you shall the nations come with their treasures. [Ps 119:32.]
Radiant: 1 a: radiating rays or reflecting beams of light B: vividly bright and shining : glowing 2: marked by or expressive of love, confidence, or happiness <a radiant smile>
“Weariness has besieged many of My warriors, and tiredness from many long seasons of battle and desert living has made many grow tired, but still they have clung to ME in the midst of weariness. I am coming to RESTORE. My heart is bent on union with My Bride. There is a glory coming and I want you to be confident in the midst of darkness, that I WILL ARISE OVER YOU. I WILL ARISE. Do not give up. Do not give in to the torment and lies of the enemy.
It was in the midst of great darkness, that I’ve done the most glorious deliverances. Elijah faced great darkness with only Obadiah who was faithful. Moses faced the darkest ruler of his time with only Aaron, surrounded by a court of pagans and warlocks. Have you not seen? Have you not read of all the glory poured out in the midst of dark times ? KNOW that I AM with you and most especially as times get darker and darker, that MY GLORY will be SEEN upon you. It will be more and more obvious who serves who in this hour. I have some turn around for the enemy in this hour, for I have HARVEST on My heart. I will not come till the earth is harvested.
I have a vested interest in the LOST that so many are unwilling to even talk to. Your brother is anyone made in the image and likeness of God. But only I know who is reprobate in heart and who is not. Look to ME in this hour for who to help, who to witness to, who to take into your home. Do not assume anything. Ask and you will receive. Knock and the door will be opened. I am knocking on the door of your hearts and I will come in and sup with you if you open up your hearts. Allow ME now to make the finishing touches on you My bride, for the explosion will be soon that sets you on fire with My love. HOLD FAST to the truth of My WORD. Keep sowing seeds beloveds, for soon escalation will cause a great flood of souls into the KINGDOM. Do not be afraid My church, of the many who will come in great need .
Seek My face for all that is needed and you will receive all you need to help them and clean them, and teach them. Look to ME for what to do, and how to do it. TRUST ME that the ride is getting faster and faster. LEAN ON ME in all things. I will not let you down. I will show you the way to go. I will apprehend all those you are praying for of your loved ones. Keep in prayer for the things you see around you. I am working and I will not forsake anyone who loves ME. I have LOTS OF SURPRISES on the horizon, so be expectant of GOOD things coming your way. Don’t focus on all that is bad, but keep sowing in thoughts and words. Stand on My promises, for My Word never fails, and My love NEVER FAILS.
Groanings will overtake many of you, I will apprehend you in situations you could walk by before, but now, cannot. I will show you those I want you to cry out for. Spontaneous prophecy will also burst forth from your spirit to bless others, including the LOST, that they might know that I know them, and that I have loved you and shown you My favor.
It will start bubbling up, it will just bubble up out of you. Some things you will just KNOW.
You won’t know how you know, I will just drop revelation into your spirit and you will know what is on My heart for another or for you. TRUST in MY LOVE FOR YOU. It is forever !”
Seek My Face
James Donovan
October 25, 2007
My warriors come before Me daily, seek My face.
Draw nigh unto Me I hear the cries of My saints.
Yield to My spirit, cry out to Me I am the answer.
Wherever you go or look there is doom and gloom.
Many tragedies, many needs, many hurting sheep.
I am the God that calms the storms of this world.
There is much opposition and darkness and trials.
In our daily walk, but seek My face, seek My face.
Run into your closets cry out to Daddy.
I am the answer to every need and situation.
As you come to Me you shall see a mighty break through.
As you humble yourselves and pray I shall heal your land.
You shall see a mighty outpouring of My spirit.
A great influx of souls saved and following Me.
You shall see signs and wonders on this earth.
My spirit is calling seek My face, seek My face.
No more excuses but get on your knees.
I shall hear your cries as you be faithful.
And harken to My voice and seek My face.
I shall bring deliverance and healing.
To your families to your cities, to your nations.
Stand in the gap, I am calling My warriors.
To fight the good fight and cry out to the heavens.
Then you shall see lives change, situations change.
Walls and barriers and hindrances shall fall.
And My spirit shall sweep and touch every area.
So seek My face, I am the Lord that HEALETH AND RESTORES.
I am expelling the darkness and bringing forth my marvelous light.
So be obedient and press in and pray without ceasing faithful one.
Yes there is much terror and tragedies in this world I am the answer.
I am the alpha and the omega, I am a big God,
All things are possible with Me, so trust me spend time with Me.
I hear and answer your petitions.
FULFILL MY DESTINY FOR YOUR LIFE!
October 20,2007
I am moving mightily in these end times, through My people who i have predestined to flow in My Holy Spirit. A people who will press into Me with a hunger and desire to follow after Me. Who shall do greater things, yes greater Signs, Wonders and Miracles, then I done upon My time on the earth. For I am equipping My army and enlisting soldiers who will obey and walk by Faith not by sight. You shall stumble, you shall bare battle scars, but you shall come out triumphant in Me.
Many are going through trials, afflictions but fret not for I shall bring you through stronger. Some have even wandered off from My path and destiny for there lives. But through the trials and storms of life they shall grow in Me. Out of these trials and storms they shall gain much knowledge and wisdom to fight off the fiery darts of the enemy. For you My warriors are called to possess the land confront the enemy and use My words of authority. The attacks are because in Me you are a giant, and the enemy is not happy. So rejoice, grab hold of My sword and fight the fight of Faith. Claim the ground the enemy stole.
For no weapon formed against you shall prosper, for I am with you, so keep your head up high and as you go through the tests and the trials, I am there with you. You shall see breakthrough in the spiritual realm and shall grow from these experiences and testify of the victory. As you by Faith obey My voice and fulfill the destiny I have for you and as you grow in Me. You shall be a radical dynamite stick for Me going too the Nations and speaking to mountains and high places with My Authority.
Do Not Yield To The Powers That Operate Through Others
Do not yield to the powers that operate through others around you. I have shown you what you are to be doing. Do not let others hinder you, or to distract you from accomplishing My Will. Many people will yield to seducing spirits, and to controlling spirits, and the enemy will use them to hinder and oppose My People. But you are aware of the enemy’s tactics. You cannot let any opinion sway you from your mandates. You cannot allow any voice to supercede Mine. For I have spoken to you, and you are to follow Me alone.
Give no place to the condemnation of the enemy, and to the voices that would accuse you and try to wear you down in your spirit. It is My Voice alone that you listen to, and it is My Holy Spirit that you are to bear witness with. If My Spirit does not bear witness with your spirit, then pull those thoughts down and bring them under subjection. Do not give room to the enemy to delay you any longer. But rise up, and stand your ground! Even those of My House will yield to the enemy in their souls at times, but you must quickly recognize then enemy through them and silence him and put him to flight.
The enemy has seen the new freedom and the power that is coming forth from within you. He has seen the intimate fellowship that we have, and the continual flowing of My Spirit increasing from you. He has desired to have this for himself and to stop the life that has begun to move outwards. He comes to steal from you, to kill the anointing, and to destroy you at all costs. But you must stand and put him to flight. You must guard your gates, and guard My Presence that flows from within you. It is time to rise up and to shut the mouths of the accusers and of the devourer in the realm of the Spirit.
You have the Rod of My Word in your hand and in your mouth. Use it. Do not cave in to peer pressure, and to those who would quench My Spirit. You must decide whether you are going to fully follow Me all the way, and to fully believe in Me once and for all. You cannot continue to waver when pressure is applied to you. You have to stand and to believe. You cannot waver between two opinions. You must have My Opinion. You must believe in what I have said and in what I have already done for you.
This is the year that you will stand without wavering, without hesitation, and without any underlying reservations. For you will finally resolve within yourself to walk in Me and you will not stumble over the old stumbling blocks anymore. It is time to remove them and to walk on the higher paths where the ungodly cannot walk. There is no room for fear and doubt anymore, but only for what I have in store. So, press on and break forth and run, into what I have begun! For those who follow Me will only walk in true liberty and in what I have ordained for them.
Leave behind all of the residues now, and cleanse your path. Remove everything that will hinder you, everything that would trouble you, and everything that would rob you of your faith. And zero in on Me, and focus on your assignment. Start right where you are and move out. Never look back again into what I have set you free from, but know that you have passed through them all with me, and now they are removed entirely. Nothing can steal from you anymore. No residue from your past remains for you to stumble over. But open your eyes now on that which I will show you, and see the truth and walk in it with Me. For My Voice speaks and My Spirit will guide you as you trust in Me.
Marsha Burns(http://ft111.com/smallstraws.htm)
October 30, 2007: Beloved, quiet your soul and discern. Satan has sent a prince of darkness against you to block the anointing and stop the flow of My Spirit in your midst. Its operation is like the jamming of radio signals, and it covers you with a spiritual blanket of fog to hinder My work in and around you. Its purpose is to bring discouragement and condemnation to you. Rise up, My people and break this assignment, shut the door in the devil's face, and allow your faith to become a shield against this intrusion. I declare to you that victory is assured, says the Lord. Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Bill Burns (http://ft111.com/thetrumpet.htm)
October 8, 2007: You have heard it said, My people, that crisis will bring you into divine order, and I say to you that this is truth. When you are in the fire, My glory shall come forth. Have you not heard of the fourth man in the fire? Even in these days I visit you in the fires of tribulation and in the trials of your life. I am bringing you to a place you have never been before, a place beyond where you have ascended to. I am bringing you to a place of glory in My Kingdom, which has yet to be visited by your generation. And, I remind you that you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood. So come without hesitation, and allow the fire to burn, for surely it shall consume the works of the flesh, and what will be left is your spirit shining brightly in the Kingdom of God, doing exploits in His name. These indeed are your best days yet. Arise, and shake off every hindrance. Come before Me in faith, and we will walk together in victory, says the Lord.
Marsha Burns (http://ft111.com/smallstraws.htm)
October 11, 2007: You are about to find out that what you thought would be a quick fix is actually a process. When your quick fix does not work, ask for wisdom and look for alternative ways to accomplish what you need to do. This is no time to give up or get discouraged. As you move through this process you will learn some things that will be very helpful in the days ahead. You will also come to the understanding that My ways are not your ways, and that your methods are inferior to Mine. Yield to this process and keep moving forward. The end will justify the means, says the Lord. Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
October 10, 2007: My beloved people, take time to put your issues of life into perspective. As long as you focus on your circumstances and feel like you have been victimized you are living life according to the flesh and not walking in the Spirit. And, that is not a good place to be. You are in training and being trained by the Spirit to exist in the Spirit realm. Refuse to allow the enemy to shift your focus from life in the Kingdom to life in the flesh. It is the difference between life and death, victory and defeat. Look up, says the Lord. Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
October 9, 2007: Expect to be stretched as your encounters take you beyond the ordinary. You will need to exercise patience in every situation in order to avoid frustration. I am going to shine a light on attitudes, motives and hidden agendas, which will be valuable in making decisions and will in some instances cause you to make a course correction at this time. Your responses to challenges that you face will be extremely revealing and will be a stage for spiritual growth if you are willing to be honest with yourself. Take advantage of these opportunities to grow in discernment, says the Lord. Luke 21:19 "By your patience possess your souls.
October 8, 2007: Be strong, beloved, and refuse to allow the enemy to single you out and whisper in your ear of your failures and shortcomings. The attack against you will come with singular intensity to make you feel like you are the only one "not getting it." It is designed to paralyze you with condemnation so that you can't hear My voice or the voice of encouragement from those around you. Rise up and shut the door to the accuser of the brethren by not receiving the devil's lies. You can choose to only receive the truth of My word, says the Lord, which will usher you into the realm of supernatural victory. John 8:44b " He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

"The Release of the Spirit of an Overcomer"
by Ryan Wyatt
Abiding Glory Ministries
www.abidingglory.com
We have entered into a very serious time in the Body of Christ. The Lord of Hosts, the Lord Mighty in Battle, is ready to fill the earth with His glory, through His people. The Bride of Christ has been in the wilderness for many years and now God is blowing the trumpet and saying it is time to arise, cross the Jordan, take the land, and lay hold of our inheritance. I sense a holy anxiousness in the Lord's heart to apprehend us, give Himself to us, come into a holy union with us, and manifest His glory and power through His friends and lovers. It is time to start living in Authentic Apostolic Christianity. Time for talk is over! It's time to take action, catch the initiatives of heaven, bring heaven to earth, and destroy the works of the devil daily.
Visitation of Jesus
I have had a series of visitations and encounters over the last few months where the Lord has unveiled this revelation that you are about to read. In January 2005, I had a visitation of the Lord Jesus Himself. I was preparing for a meeting in my hotel when, suddenly, within seconds, the room became very warm. I walked over to turn off the heat and realized it was barely on. I then realized something was up and I was about to have a visitation. As I sat back down in my chair, the Lord Jesus walked into my room and stood beside me. The glory of the atmosphere of heaven filled the room and emanated from Jesus. I could do nothing but weep under this weighty glory in the room. As Jesus stood next to me, I was covered in something like dew. My whole body was covered with some form of moisture. I was not prepared to see the Lord the way I saw Him this day. I am forever changed.
The Lord was covered and dripping with oil. He had a look in His eyes that shocked me. He looked like He was filled with a holy anxiety. He looked like a warhorse or a racehorse anxious to be released from the stall and run the track. He had a look of determination, a look of war, and a look of desperation in His eyes. Jesus told me He was dripping with the oil of an Overcomer and is ready to pour it out on His overcomers that have been preparing themselves for such a time as this. He went on to describe this oil, or this anointing. He said this oil represented two things. This oil is the Priestly and the Kingly anointing.
The Oil of an Overcomer: The Priestly and Kingly Anointing
I have also been taken into visions of God many times recently and shown the same thing over and over again. I have seen the Lord standing behind a veil that is already torn. In one hand He is holding a hot, fresh, steamy loaf of bread and in the other hand He is holding a scepter. These two objects represent the two anointings that make up the oil of the Overcomer.
The Bread represents the Priestly anointing and the scepter the Kingly anointing. We must eat the bread before the scepter will be extended to us. We must become faithful and consecrated priests before we can become overcoming kings.
Restoration of Authentic Apostolic Christianity
God's heart is to see Authentic Apostolic Christianity restored to the earth. But what is Authentic Christianity? I believe it is two things:
Firstly, Authentic Christianity is a people who are totally yielded to the Lord in intimacy and love. They live a life in the secret place of His presence. They are holy and set apart unto Him because they have allowed the Lord to fully capture their hearts. They are undone and forever changed by God's glory, and they live for one thing. They live to feed upon the Lord and manifest His glory on the earth. This is the Priestly anointing.
Secondly, Authentic Christianity is a people (living a life in the secret place) who bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth and enforce the dominion and authority of heaven upon everything evil. They let the King of Glory come into their lives and destroy the works of the devil daily. They establish the righteousness and justice of heaven on the earth. This is the Kingly anointing.
In the book of Revelation, in the end times, Jesus speaks to the seven churches and, at the end of each address, he makes a promise to him who overcomes. Here is that word "overcome" again. It is God's will that He have an overcoming bride in these end times that fills the earth with His glory. These times we are living in are all about the emerging of the overcomers.
The Priestly Anointing
The first part of Authentic Apostolic Christianity, or the priestly anointing, is in Revelation 2:1-7. Jesus compliments this church for doing many things right, but they forgot the most important thing:
Revelation 2:4
"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love."
Then He issues the promise for those who overcome the world and enthrone Jesus as their first love:
Revelation 2:7
"To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."
This is the first and most essential ingredient of true Apostolic Christianity: living the lifestyle of a priest.
The Inheritance of the Priests
I mentioned earlier that Jesus was holding a loaf of bread in one hand and a scepter in the other. The priestly and kingly anointing is all about inheritance. Jesus shed His blood, died, and rose from the dead to reunite Himself with us so that we might have our inheritance and that the Lord might have His. Our inheritance is the Bread and the Scepter that He held in His hands. The Bread is the Lord Himself. We have been settling for crumbs from the loaf when the Lord is inviting us to partake of the whole loaf.
In Ezekiel 44:28 the Lord told the priests that He and He alone was to be their inheritance and possession.
"It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession."
Our inheritance is the Lord Himself. The Lord is desperately hungry for us to possess Him. Did you know the Lord wants you to possess Him? That you would be so filled with the divine nature, come into such a holy union with Him, that it's as if Jesus has clothed Himself with your flesh?
The Lord wants to fill us with a holy desperation and a holy violence to lay hold of Him. It's a hunger that will drive us into holy romance with the Lord. The first attribute of this oil is the Priestly anointing. The priestly oil is the grace to live for Him and Him alone. To enthrone Him in every area of our lives. It's a fresh hunger to come into such intimacy with Jesus that we die to ourselves and come into holy union with Him in every way.
The lifestyle of the priest is to labor to eat of the Bread of Heaven. The priest is to labor to eat of the Tree of Life, Jesus Christ. We labor for so many things, striving to be productive and to make something of ourselves, but we are to labor for only one thing in this life and that is to feed upon the Lord.
John 6:27
"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
John 6:33,35
"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world . . . 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.'"
The Kingly Anointing
The Kingly anointing represents the scepter. When we learn to live a lifestyle of feeding upon intimacy with Jesus, then we will always have the scepter of kingly authority and dominion extended to us.
We find this second ingredient of Authentic Apostolic Christianity in Revelation 3:14-22. Jesus confronts the church of the day about how prideful they are in believing that they have need of nothing. He tells them that they are lukewarm and desperately need the Lord. Then He goes on to tell them that if they will answer His knocking and let Him in He will dine with us. Then He again mentions the overcomers and the release of the scepter of the kingly anointing:
Revelation 3:21
"To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
The King is the one who wields the weapons of the Kingdom. The Kingly anointing is also:
Acts 10:38
"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
The Kingly anointing is bringing the realm of heaven to earth with mighty demonstrations of God's power and might. It is making prophetic decrees that actually shift things in the spirit and the natural. It's enforcing heaven's rule in the earthly realm.
Moses: A Model Overcomer
I want to give you a model of an overcomer. Moses was a man that God used to affect a whole generation. Moses carried the Spirit of an overcomer. He is a great model of someone who lived a lifestyle of a Priest and a King. I want to share with you from Exodus 24:9-16. God calls Moses to come up the mountain and bring his buddies with him because they are going to have a meal with God. God appears to them on the mountain and, as He walks towards them, the stone at His feet changes to sapphire stone like the very heavens in its clarity. That sounds to me like Revelation 4 where we read about a sea of glass like crystal at the foot of God's throne. At God's feet we see with perfect clarity.
Then God says this to Moses:
Exodus 24:12
"Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them."
The first directive from the Lord pretty much describes Moses' lifestyle before God. God said, "Come up to me and be there." The calling of a priest is to learn how to "be" with God in His most intimate presence. In verse 16 it says that God didn't speak to Moses until the seventh day. Moses had to wait six days without food or water and then, on the seventh day, the Lord spoke to him. This is the strongest attribute of an overcomer. They are so hungry for God that they realize that even if they die they must live for the Lord and hear from heaven. The number six is the number for man or flesh. The number seven means perfection, rest, refreshing, the promised land. The overcomer is one who dies to self (six) and presses into the rest and the glory of God (seven).
The Blueprints of Heaven
What was Moses' reward for tarrying in God's presence? The very blueprints of heaven. These were not just any tablets of stone or everyday instructions he received from the Lord. God gave Moses the detailed plan of heaven for how God intended to make a habitation of His presence in the midst of Israel. God told him every little detail of how to build the tabernacle even down to the specific supplies to use.
God is desperately hungry for us to possess the promised land and lay hold of our inheritance. Our inheritance is to live in the very Glory of God. However, we must daily overcome the spirit of the world and press behind the veil that is already torn that we might eat of the Bread of Heaven and look upon the blueprints of heaven. Tapping into the revelatory blueprint of heaven will release the Key of David into your life. With the Key of David from Isaiah 22:22 you can effectively close demonic gates in people's lives and open heavenly gates, or portals, for heaven to break in.
"Release of an Understanding of the Language and Mysteries of Heaven"
I recently had an angelic visitation. This angel appeared to me with an open book in its hand. He was speaking to me in a language I did not understand. Suddenly the angel blew on the book and I inhaled some particles that came from the book. My understanding was instantly quickened and the angel told me that there was "coming an unprecedented release of an understanding of the language and mysteries of heaven."
Moses lived a lifestyle of "being there" with God and, therefore, he was God's friend and the Lord shared the intimate secrets of His heart with Moses and spoke to him as a friend speaks to a friend. This is also our high and lofty calling! The oil of an overcomer that God is about to release is a fresh hunger to live as a priest and king and lay hold of our inheritance.
The Body of Christ is Living in Psalm 23 and Psalm 24
I believe the Body of Christ is currently living in Psalm 23 and Psalm 24. Psalm 23 is all about the Priestly anointing/lifestyle and Psalm 24 is all about the Kingly anointing and taking the land by letting the King of Glory come in.
I believe one of the interpretations of the Man-child spoken of in Revelation 12 represents a body of overcomers arising from the midst of the Institutional Church and moving in the Priestly and Kingly anointing with awesome demonstrations of power. This Man-child, or God's people, have been tucked away in the wilderness for many years (Psalm 23). I believe the purpose for us being in the wilderness has been that we, as God's people, would learn how to eat of the Lord even in the midst of pain, trial, death, and dryness.
One characteristic of being an overcomer is learning to find the underground flow of God's presence and power even in the midst of the desert. This is the life of the priest. The priest must die to self and learn to feast at God's table in the presence of their enemies. So many believers live from one revival to another or one conference to another and just drink from those outpourings. However, God is looking for those who have learned to feed upon Him even in the wilderness and have now become a drink for others to drink from. This is Psalm 23. Even in the valley of the shadow of death we are feasting at God's table and we are in the place where oil is being continuously poured out upon our heads.
These overcomers that are about to emerge on the scene are ones who have been lying down in green pastures and are lead by the still waters. They have been feeding and feasting at the Lord's Table and they are overflowing with the oil of heaven. This is the place of intimacy and maturing in our relationship with God.
It is now time that we enter into Psalm 24. I believe Psalm 24 will be a key passage for the church in this next season. It's time to lift up our heads to the Lord and let the King of Glory come in and wage war through us.
Crossing Over
Deuteronomy 6:23 says this:
"Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers."
I believe God's people today have been delivered from Egypt, which represents slavery, bondage, the flesh, the body, etc. We have gone through the wilderness, which represents the soul, grumbling, complaining, etc. And I believe we are now positioned to cross the Jordan and take the promised land. I believe the church has been sipping from the Jordan River from the wilderness side while longing to enter into the promised land.
The promised land represents the fullness of God, the fullness of all His promises to us. It represents coming back to the place of the Garden of Eden where there was rest and refreshing and a 24-hour-a-day consciousness of God. The promised land represents living in the manifest glory of God.
The second oil of this overcoming anointing is a holy violence and hunger to work the works of God on the earth. We are in a time of war!
A Changing of the Guard; A Changing Season
There is a changing of the guard and a changing of the season that is upon the church. We are going from Esau to Jacob, Saul to David, Eli to Samuel, Saul to Paul, and Moses to Joshua. The Lord said to Joshua, "Moses is dead, now arise, go over the Jordan and possess the land." He told Joshua to be strong and very courageous. In Joshua 3:4-7 the Lord said you have not passed this way before, therefore sanctify yourselves this day so I may do wonders among you tomorrow. Then the Lord told Joshua that He was about to exalt him in the eyes of all Israel and they would know that as He was with Moses so He would also be with Joshua.
God wants to do the same with His people. He wants to extend that scepter to us and exalt the true church in the eyes of the world. But what was it that made God choose Joshua? Whenever Moses would leave the tent of meeting after talking with the Lord, Joshua would remain behind and linger in the presence of God. Joshua lived for the presence of God and, therefore, Joshua carried the spirit of an overcomer and was chosen to lead all Israel into their destiny.
In Numbers 13 Moses sent 12 spies into the promised land to spy it out. Ten of them came back with a negative report. They said the land looked great but the people were huge and undefeatable. They said they were like grasshoppers in their own eyes, therefore they were seen as grasshoppers in the eyes of the people. But Caleb and Joshua stood up with the spirit of an overcomer and proclaimed that they were well able to overcome the enemies of the land and they must possess it. This is the mindset that comes when the oil of the Overcomer is poured out upon us. This is how we think when we are living as true priests and kings.
Warrior Mindset Replacing the Grasshopper Mentality
Joshua said in Numbers 14:8 that if the Lord delighted in them, then He would give them the land and the enemies of the land would be their bread and they would eat them for lunch. Joshua and Caleb were the only ones spared from that generation because God said they had a different spirit in them. They had a revelation that God delighted in them and, therefore, they knew they could overcome any enemy.
I recently had an unusual dream. There were many people in this dream and all of them were covered in urine. It was very odd. I awoke from the dream and the Lord immediately dropped a Scripture into my heart.
Psalm 34:5,8
"They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good."
The Lord spoke to me through this dream about the current condition of many believers. Many believers today are consumed with a feeling of hopelessness. They feel that their life is a waste and doesn't count for anything. Hope deferred has made their hearts sick. They have no sense of destiny; therefore, in the dream everyone was covered with urine, which is a form of waste. But those who have been looking upon Him and feeding upon Him are becoming radiant, and the shame of their lives is being washed away because they are tasting that the Lord is good. They are shedding that grasshopper mentality and God has been pouring the oil of an overcomer over their lives.
I'm prophesying to you now that God is about to pour out this Oil of an Overcomer, and those who have been hidden in the wilderness and feasting on the Lord are about to emerge on the scene and they will be gripped with holy hunger and a holy violence to lay hold of their inheritance and they will not be denied.
Are You Ready for the Oil?
The Spirit of an Overcomer is described in two places in Scripture, Ephesians 3:16 and Psalm 92:10-15. Jesus' inheritance is that the manifold wisdom of God would be displayed by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places (Ephesians 3:10). In order for this to be fulfilled we must overcome the world and bring heaven to earth daily. Paul prays in Ephesians 3:16 that through the Holy Spirit we would be strengthened with might in our inner-man. The anointing to overcome comes by the spirit of counsel and might.
Psalm 92:10-15 is the other place this overcoming anointing is mentioned. God is going to anoint our strength like a wild ox. He is going to anoint us with fresh oil. The ones that have been hidden in the wilderness for years have learned how to be a palm tree in the midst of the desert. They have become planted in the House of God and have learned to flourish and feast at God's banqueting table. God is going to release the Spirit of an Overcomer on these ones that they might declare and release the righteousness and justice of God on the earth.
It's time to take action and take the Land. It's time to arise out of the wilderness and begin to operate in the fullness of God's anointing with awesome displays of glory and power. Daniel 11:32b says this:
"The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."
Position yourselves today for the outpouring of this end-time overcoming anointing. Let God infuse you with the strength of heaven and fill you with the anointing to overcome! Let the Sons and Daughters of Fresh Oil arise and come forth! Let the people of the world declare:
Song of Solomon 8:5
"Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?"
A holy militancy is about to be poured out upon God's people. It's a Breakthrough and a Breakout anointing! Are you positioned to receive it?
Lord, we ask you now to begin to pour out the Spirit of the Overcomer. Let there be a supernatural release of the shout of war upon Your people. We lift up our heads to You and ask that the King of Glory would come in and breakthrough so that we can breakout. Lord, stir your people out of the wilderness and grip us with a holy violence and jealousy to lay hold of our inheritance. May we be strong and do great exploits in Your Name!

“I AM Your Fire…”
October 2, 2007
“I AM your Fire, MY Beloved, and your Glory in the darkest of nights. I AM always with you, as MY Word has promised and you know by now I always watch over My Word to perform it. Have I spoken and shall I not do it? Of course not. How would that inspire faith in Me?
What My children have failed to understand is the depth of the Price paid for their freedom. To many, “It’s John 3:16 and that’s all you need.” There is so much more to your life in Me than that. I know many of you have not been taught properly but it’s time to awaken from your slumber take responsibility for your own spiritual growth, and walk on your feet, upright, before Me. Truly, you will reap what you sow and I mean this in the positive sense. If you give Me your whole life and draw close to Me and remain so, I will in no wise cast you aside, but rather, I will hold you close to My Heart and teach you great and mighty things of which many have not dreamed. Take Me out of the box in which you’ve held Me for so long and set Me free in your heart with no preconceived notions and I will change you and excite you into a Life of Joy and Peace in My Son Christ Jesus in ways you will treasure for the rest of your days. Always remember, you were meant to walk on water, if it is necessary for the Kingdom’s advancement.
Some of you are holding anger toward those who hurt you in the past; I tell you truly, if you continue to hold on to this anger and hatred, you cannot go on with Me. I know, Beloved, many of you have been hurt, and sorely, and find it impossible to forgive the one who hurt you. Listen to Me and I will tell you something which will change your life, if you do as I say. I say this to you, little one…come to Me with all your hurts and give them to Me and be at least willing to lay them down and put them into yesterday where they belong and I will, in My Own timing, ,bring you into a place of peace and forgiveness you thought not possible. I will bring you into a place of utter delight, truly. Trust Me and see what I will do for you.
Remember, Beloved, I AM your Fire and your Glory in the darkest of nights…and that is only the beginning…”
THE KEY OF DAVID
September 21, 2007 by Olivia Reitz Long (http://ft111.com/long.htm)
"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isa 57:15
"A broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou will not despise." Ps 51:17
My Glorious Beloved, I have seen your circumstances, I have seen your pain but I have also seen that even at your very lowest, still it is I who have your heart. Even now you struggle with certain issues but one by one you have also seen Me opening doors on your behalf that you thought would never open... but ... My Son holds the key of David that will open the door into the Holiest of All!
As David, you are not without sin, but you still hunger after My heart and as David, you know that sometimes you missed it and you had the wisdom to stop and sit at My feet. David hungered to build a house in which I could dwell. Solomon built that house but it was intended for a house for all nations, and when that failed, my truth was found ... I do not intend to live in 'true habitation' in a house of cedar, adorned with precious stones, gold and silver.. but in a home as insignificant and weak as man himself.
My Faithful ones have learned the heart of David which is " A broken and contrite heart." Such a heart is broken, crippled, torn and tattered. This is the heart where I have desired to have My habitation. The bruised ones, such as My Son was bruised, rejected, as He was rejected, forsaken, as He was forsaken, these are My Faithful Ones.
David had a passion to discover My habitation, where I would dwell. As David, you have also gone through sufferings, trials and tribulations, and as David, these became the key of David that opened the door of My habitation into your heart.
As David, My Faithful Ones have often learned the hard and painful way, walking down paths and opening doors that should have remained shut. Good intentions, events seemed right but you did not truly seek My way. Many have sought to give you advice and wondered why you stood still not moving. But OH, My Glorious Beloved, you knew, you knew! You knew that the I AM must go before and then My Glory will follow. You have learned not to take advice that I do not affirm, for even though you are still in the hard, dry place, there is no point in going if I AM not sending.
I have heard you, My Beloved, I have heard your mumblings, I have heard your grumblings, more and more you want to retreat from the world and it's ways, you think how glorious and easy it would be to be holy as I AM Holy in such a place away from the world's wicked ways. But it is not to such a place that I have called you to as it was not to such a place that your Lord and Savior was called. My Son walked amongst the sinners, yet still was without sin. He blessed, He forgave, He performed miracles, He laughed, He cried and He rebuked the hypocrites. He was the perfect example of "Light in a dark, dark world."
Now you look around and see the world is darker still. But My Glorious Beloved, this is where I have chosen for you to walk. My Faithful Ones, crying out to Me every single day to ease your pain, to move you on, with hearts where I have made My habitation. And it is YOU who will once again give GLORY to MY Name by manifesting My Glory and My light will shine even here, on the earth that is growing each day to be even more wicked and more dark. I know that you cannot see it now in your present circumstances with everything crowding in on you and the years of waiting taking it's toll, the weariness, the sadness, the sufferings, hurts that remain unhealed. But know it's coming, you will finally move on in My calling for you.
The entire earth is groaning waiting for your arrival, so lift up your heads, square those shoulders and look around you, for the darker you see it become in the world, the greater the light I have put in you will shine! The hardest thing you have had to learn and to heed is to walk in holiness amidst a world filled with evil and corruption and appreciate the blessings I have given to surround you with My love for this time. Blessings to carry you over until the day you shall walk forth into your destiny In Me.
I have given you the key of David, I have inhabited your hearts and will give you full useage of the key. The key will mean moving in the anointing, walking in My Spirit and knowing My presence is with you.
My Glorious Beloved, the key of David for Mount Zion. My Zion people will have the key to Zion, the key to My presence on you and amidst you as My chosen ones.
You are in a critical timeframe of your life, and what you do now is the key for your future, love with My love, Cry and comfort with the compassion of Jesus. It is time for you to discover the key of David and how to use it effectively, for nothing else will do.
"The ernest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Creation does not know why it is groaning, it doesn't even see any hope for a future. But I have told you why creation is groaning, for it has hope of deliverance in the unveiling of the sons of God, which is nothing less than the Son of God revealed in and shining forth in My Faithful Ones. A people walking the earth, not radiating their own glory, for it is only My Glory which shall be seen.
My Glorious Beloved, you have become weak, you have become foolish in the eyes of people, but in fact, this is where you were to be, for the light to shine forth on this dark and dismal world.
Hold steady, stand strong, love as My Son loves without harsh words, have compassion, have mercy for this is your training ground and be ready to move forth to minister to a dark and fallen world carrying the key of David.
Marsha Burns: (http://ft111.com/smallstraws.htm)
September 24, 2007: You have felt like you are in over your head, doing things that you have little knowledge of or experience in accomplishing. And I say to you that it IS true that you are in over your head, but you are not in over My head, says the Lord. If you will ask for wisdom, I will give it, and I will empower you to do all that is set before you. Refuse to allow fear to paralyze you or keep you from moving forward. Remember that you "can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."
Old things and old ways of doing things will no longer facilitate you in accomplishing what is set before you. You are living in new times that will require you to embrace more efficient ways of carrying out My plans and purposes. Do not be afraid to learn new things (perhaps even technical processes) that will equip you to deal more effectively with your challenges. I will provide the necessary instruction as you yield to this transition, says the Lord. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them."
Prepare for a course correction. You have come to a point of decision where you can go no further until you find resolution in your current situation. You will either have to make adjustments and come to a new level of understanding and commitment or abandon it altogether. The choice is yours, but you will not be able to maintain status quo.
You are about to awaken out of a slumber of idolatry that was brought about by fear of man and a desire to please people. This has been a great hindrance in your life and has resulted in compromise. Your loyalties are being tested, and your devotion will be redefined as you are elevated to the level of fearing and pleasing the Lord only.
You are coming to a level of spiritual maturity that will be astounding in contrast to your past religious experience. If you are willing, I will bring you out of carnal, social Christianity into the reality of life in the Spirit. But, you must stir up your desire to really know Me, says the Lord.
In an effort to forget past offenses you have buried some things that need to be reviewed and forgiven. I am shining the light on bondages from the past, and I will reveal every hidden work of darkness against you. It is time for you to be truly free. And, in the process of this spiritual emancipation you will find that you have been miraculously healed and delivered. It’s time!
You have tried desperately to find your niche as you struggle to know where you belong. If you will stop striving to find acceptance and camaraderie among your peers and instead seek to abide in Me, then you will find a people of like mind who dwell together in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace. However, as long as your focus is on you and your desires to be accepted, even if you are among like-minded people you will still feel like an outcast.
You have entered the River of God, and the power of that flow will carry you to places beyond your wildest expectations. Continue to yield to the moving of My Spirit as I show
