We Are On The Cusp Of Probably One Of The Greatest Days 
Of The Dismantling Of Religious Behavior And Abuse
In The Charismatic Church And Evangelical Church To Date.

 

In the days ahead we’re going to see many people hungering for that sacred time in worship where there is a waiting upon the Lord, and in the honoring of his name. Clearly we attract the presence of the Lord when we are focused upon “The Presence”, and not upon the performance.
 

We shouldn’t be surprised if like Jesus, we collide with torrents of political & religious and cultural expectations. So, on a daily basis, our purity of vision to move toward the Kingdom will also cause us deep discomforts that will ask us to set aside our preferences, and our convenience.
 

This  pressing towards the Kingdom will ask us to say things that we’d rather not say, to go places that we’d rather not go, to give away things that we’d rather keep. 

And in this discomfort, each time we have an opportunity to cry out to God:  “Where did you go? Why does pursuing your kingdom of abundance and peace not always feel like abundance and peace?”

I’d like to offer these possibilities to ponder. 
In every way, He’s purifying your heart. 

 

WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION THAT IS BEGINNING
TO DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES 
AND STRUCTURAL PROGRAMMING?

 

Is it fatigue from fleshly efforts?

Is it weariness with well doing?

Or!

Is it the beginning of a matter?

 

A. W. Tozer once said,

"Self Is The Blurred Veil That Hides The Face Of God From Us.
It Can Be Removed Only In Spiritual Experience,  
Never By Simple Instruction."

 

The Lord is allowing man to have the joy and shock of coming to the end of his means of prodding and producing until he falls into a heap at the feet of the One who has the key to the place of hope and rest!

He. The King of tranquility and Divine Purpose have the place of Sanctuary carved out in a definite place.

 

THE PLACE OF WORSHIP

"But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter."

"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself--Spirit.

Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” That is all from John: 23-24

 

APOSTOLIC ORIGINS BEGAN WITH THE DEVOTED
AND YET WEARY DISCIPLES OF JESUS COMING TOGETHER
IN A "PLACE" OF WAITING, RESTING AND WORSHIPING

Those waiting in an upper room.

Hiding from the world and its pressures and threat

Waiting.

Worshiping.

REMEMBERING the past things they had experienced while walking with Jesus.

They were asking the heart questions of,

"Why are we here?
What are we waiting for?
What is this all about?"

 

My Brothers and Sisters, We are Again...
...In the same place.

 

WE ARE SIMPLY RESTING IN THE KNOWLEDGE 
THAT THE LORD HAS BROUGHT US
TO END OF THE OF THE PAST WAYS
AND FORMS OF MAN.

He is preparing the way of His Power with a place of personal introspection and heart searching until we see that we must be truthful in our worship of Him. We must come into agreement with His Spirit and the way that He desires to move among those who know Him, and among those who do not.

Old things are passing away.
LOOK! He does a new thing!

New to us,
BUT Not To Him.

 

AS WE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA OF NOTHING TO PERFORM, nothing to take to task, nothing to self generate but only to "marinate" and saturate in, we see the promises He has made begin to be realized. We must bring a mind, which has been emptied of old prejudices, old traditional theology, human philosophy and false data.

A mind so fully humble and empty that the Lord can reveal to it great, bright depths of truth and beauty, and floods of spiritual understanding that we have never dreamed of before! 
(Amplified Bible)
"Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.' -Jeremiah 33:3

 

Francis Frangipane says it best.
"We must bring hearts that are emptied of our abundant earthly attachments and sad, “holier-than-thou” sentimentalism, old friendships, old day intuitive loves."
We must bring empty hands that have handed over our own works, all planning strategies and “string pulling” for self.  Hands and hearts that hold onto no toys, and to no Treasure. Hands that bring no human demand or bargaining skills. Hands so empty that they can grip firmly the Sword of the Spirit, the cross, or the tool that God may put into them."

 

Dear Friend! 
God fills our nature and fills our lives in relationship to how they are emptied for Him. 

God knows our heart. He sees what we can’t see. If we allow Him, He begins taking out all the impurities, emptying us of ourselves and filling us with Himself – so He can use us as a vessel of honor.

 

SO OFTEN AS OF LATE,
IN PLACES OF MEETING AND GATHERINGS OF HUNGRY SAINTS,

THE HOLY HUSH OF HEAVEN HAS FALLEN 
WITH SUCH SWEETNESS AND SIMPLICITY.

 

All the fancy trappings of "noisy worship strategy" pale compared to this heavy rich perfumed presence that descends on those who will wait upon the Lord and grow stronger.

There is no need for airy or trendy teachings and thoughts. No need for the pious and well-oiled speeches implying the way to go. (Because they say so!)

Blessed are those who are willing to release all that is not THE Kingdom in them, who let their hearts be purified, for they shall see God himselfGod’s life being birthed in every challenge. God’s kingdom coming on Earth as it is in heaven.

As we wait.

Humble.

At His feet...
...He moves upon many within the Body to rise up and declare, to share, risk, expound and grow in the Grace of God, as well as in much Mercy.

 

You are right in the middle of God's process for you. 
You don't have to settle for God's second best because of somebody else's choices or your own. As you are being who you are in Him, you can do what you are supposed to do. You may have disappointments, but your life is His story with depth, adventure, suspense, surprising plot turns, and darkness that Jesus defeated. Be blessed as you understand more of His story that He is writing in your life. 

1 Peter 1:5. "...Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."

 

God surrounds you with His favor as a shield. 
You are shielded by His power, so that in every dark thing you experience, you can live large and strong.

God put you on earth in your exact place for His specific purpose, 
and you are living in that purpose, even when you don't know it.

Your soul may be grumbling and resisting, 
but you are living the story that God is ready to reveal to you.

God is a lot bigger than you expect Him to be.
 He's a lot bigger than your circumstances. He is the God of detail. 
He is deeply involved in the small details of your life.
 

HEAVEN LONGS TO KISS THE EARTH AGAIN
.The King of Heaven is descending with an unexplainable and definite wave of stillness

It is His manifested Presence.

In His Presence. His Sanctuary, is fullness. Completion.

Needs met...

...And Joy.

 

Let's pray from Ephesians 1. 

I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better. 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. 

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. And every name that is invoked not only in the present age, but also in the one to come. In the power of that name we pray. Amen. 

 

NOW I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID 
WHEN THE EARTH IS SHAKING 
AND STRANGE AND ODD THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE! 

 

Understand, God is not weak.
He is not deaf.
He is not asleep.

But, he does have an extended power in mercy because he knows that when his justice and judgment is kindled and he moves, it is sovereignty complete and there is no turning back.


This is a time for us to do personal examination, and yeah, there’s a lot of stuff being shaken.

A lot of people have been warned, a lot of ministries have still chosen to hide things that are going to come out, because they chose not to go the way of accountability and repentanceand the Lord has to let it come to pass. He doesn’t want his sheep deceived, and he certainly doesn’t want them abused, but it’s also happening in individual lives.

If we’re looking to the church and if we’re looking to leaders to be our ultimate guide, then the Lord will allow us to have great disappointment and failures there.

 

EACH OF US IS TO COME BEFORE THE FATHER! 
Jesus said how to pray. He taught us! 
He said to say, “My Father, you are in heaven, holy, holy is your name! Let your kingdom come, let your will be done, (which means in our lives and in others lives) like it is in heaven, and give us today our daily bread.
You see, we look forward to everything we want now down the road instead of accepting that today is enough, it’s sufficient.
 

So I encourage you to get still, get quiet.
Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

It says in the word, "Whether you turn to the left or to the right there is a voice behind you saying this is the way, walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)

 It may not be pleasant, may not be popular, and it certainly may not be comfortable, but it is safe and it will keep you in a place where you are determined and at peace to serve the Lord.

 

REMEMBER, DON’T BE AFRAID. 
Don’t listen to the frightening narratives, don’t give into the sounds around you telling you to be afraid because that’s the goal of the enemy.

Satan comes to bring fear and steal and rob your peace and destroy your trust in the Lord, and Jesus said,  "I AM come! I am! I have come that you might have life, and have it to the fullest!' That’s John 10:10.  And what that means is “might have life to the fullest”.
 

We have to choose to not listen to the world’s narratives, and trust me some of them sound really great! There are some great analytics out there, brillant minds. Brilliant voices, but if they don’t have the God breath, breathed on them, and they are not hearing from God accurately and it is nothing more than just a bunch of propaganda, or people trying to sell stuff, you’re going to get sucked into looking for answers and places that will come up empty.

 

The voice of God is big, but sometimes it’s very still and he wants us to discipline ourselves to get away from our phones get away from all the stuff, and simply bask and wait…
… Until he speaks.

 

I bless you today, and I look forward to our next podcast together.
Goodbye for now!

WHERE TO GO TO GET HOPE IN AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD - PROPHETIC ENCOURAGEMENT


⬆︎

CLICK PICTURE TO LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE RIGHT  NOW!


by Mary Lindow

DO YOU FEEL AS IF THINGS ARE UTTERLY HOPELESS 

AND COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN RIGHT NOW?

 

Maybe you have you been in that scary place before.

Most people, if they are being transparent and honest will admit to times of experiencing hopelessness and feeling alone and afraid.

Friend.

You aren’t without hope,

You aren’t hopeless,

But you ARE helpless!

 

God Has Allowed This Time And Position Of Helplessness

And Complete Dependency On Him,

And You Are Helpless To Help Yourself.

 

We struggle to gain back some measure of control over our lives when this pressure is upon us, but our personal pride (that we didn’t even know that we had) is being crushed, and the only thing for us to do is to surrender!

 

NOW YOU MAY FEEL HOPELESS, BUT REALLY… 

…IT’S THE CONDITION OF HELPLESSNESS 

THAT IS CAUSING YOU PAIN.

 

God Wants You Completely Dependent On Him, and He will keep you a “prisoner of hope” until you are.

 

OH HOW WEARY YOU ARE OF THE AWFUL REFINER’S FLAME AND THAT SEEMINGLY ENDLESS TWEAKING OF YOUR ATTITUDE!

“Okay, God, you can stop now!" you scream.

But He doesn't stop.

You're caught in a prison of hope and He will not let you out until He is finished with what He began in you.

 

There are times during the process of pursuing heartfelt dreams and callings in life that you might feel that your "hope" seems to have been locked up in a prison. You can't seem to make your dreams come true, and yet, you find it impossible to stop believing in them!

 

YOU CAN'T GO FORWARD ANY FASTER THAN GOD WILL LET YOU, and yet, you sure don't want to return to where you once were before you were overshadowed and given a "life vision" with a promise from God!

 

GOD JUST WILL NOT LET YOU GIVE UP!

During this time you might feel like saying,

"Okay God, this is enough! I don't want to hope anymore!

 I am tired of being like an egg in an incubator with this promise! 

I want out of this prison of hope!"

 

IT'S DURING THIS TIME THAT YOUR DREAMS FEEL SO VERY REAL TO YOU, YET TO OTHERS THEY DON'T!

There is a big conflict between what you discern in the Spirit and what appears to be moving so slowly in the natural, and that grates at our souls!

We feel like we are on a Ferris wheel. You have your “up times” when you can see your dream's fulfillment far into the future, but you also have your “down times” when you can't see anything and everything seems to have crashed into a messy heap.

 

YOU THINK TO YOURSELF,

“AM I CRAZY TO THINK THAT GOD COULD USE ME? NOW?

IN THIS TIME?"

 

The enemy comes in like a rushing flood and you begin to doubt, causing anguish to your soul.

  

THIS IS THE TIME WHEN GOD IS DOING HIS GREATEST WORK IN YOU!

This is when the refining process REALLY hurts, because He is getting down to the very core of your soul, to the deep regions of your heart.

 

HE IS DEVELOPING THINGS IN YOU

THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU LACKED.

THINGS THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU NEEDED.

 

You think, "Okey Dokey God, this is deep enough!"

But, every builder knows you must dig down deep to lay a proper foundation first, before you start to build upward. And the greater the height of the structure, the deeper the foundation must be.

 

YOUR FORTRESS OR PLACE OF REFUGE IS TRUSTING IN A LOVING GOD.

Trusting Him in spite of all the reasoning of your mind, in spite of the circumstances that surround you.

 

YOU WERE CONTENT TO GIVE GOD CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE UNTIL HE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE, YOU DIDN’T LIKE.

You were happy to surrender all to Him, until He decided to give your promotion to someone else.

You believe in His sovereignty, until His sovereign will conflicts with, your will.

Then you are sure He has made a mistake!

You want to run from Him, but He is your refuge.

How do you run from your refuge?

How do you run from the only one who really loves you or understands you?

The answer is . . . you don't.

 

SO, RETURN, MY FRIEND, TO YOUR FORTRESS, 

AND REMAIN A PRISONER UNTIL HE IS DONE WITH YOU. 

UNTIL HE DECIDES THAT YOU ARE READY FOR ALL THAT HE HAS FOR YOU.

“Return to your fortress! Yes!

You prisoners who have hope!

Today I declare that I will return double what has been taken from you."

- Zechariah 9:12

 

PROPHETIC WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

The Spirit of God says,

“Even now I announce to you that not only will I restore to you all that has been taken from you, but I will give you double for all the trouble you have endured."

He says, "Don't stop now . . .

…Keep trusting me, because I can see your future and it is very blessed.

Keep walking with me,

 and keep trusting in me

 and I will give you rest."

“Come to me all who are weary and burdened,

And I WILL, give you rest." -Matthew 11:28

"WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT DOING IN THIS SEASON?" - A PROPHETIC INSIGHT

 


CLICK THE PICTURE TO LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE 

By Mary Lindow

This  podcast is going to be directed towards the question that many people are asking, (and of course a lot of times believers don’t “ask the question” because they fear that they are going to be judged for asking such a question!) 

But if we don’t ask, we don’t get answers, and so today’s podcast is addressing:What is the Holy Spirit doing during this season”.

I have spent time praying and seeking the Lord well for a good month now and it’s been an interesting time since the last time we were together, and of course, the assignments God puts or put us into, IN different season of life, they never come without challenges and also without redemptive opportunities! And so, that’s what I’m going to be addressing! 

I’ve heard from the Spirit of God about what I’m to share. 

I am cautious about giving a word for a specific year because it begins to be kind of a measuring stick for some people to then either compete with or, that’s all they go by “What the Lord said for 2024, 2023”, whatever, and they don’t listen for themselves, because sometimes it’s not about the year, it’s about the season, and a season can be more than one year! It can be more than a week, it can be a month or two!

Wherever we are in the Presence of God in our lives, walking with Jesus, we are in a season, and that season that we’re in right now is a very different time.  That’s where we’re heading today and I encourage you to share this word with those who are crying out to God for answers.

 
The things that are coming up in this next time and in life for all of us, 
They’re going to be challenging! 

 

In order to have the times of refreshing we are crying out for and, 

are desperate for as believers, we must learn to rule and reign with grace.

 

Refreshing rains will not fall, and cannot fall in full glory, when we refuse to lay down judgments, manipulations, and self invented “spiritual rules” that do not run parallel with the King of grace who is the ULTIMATE Mercy bringer in this present season. The conviction of God will be strong to cleanse the heart of falsity, the  fear of man and the passivity of half repentance for works of the flesh. 

We can get all the people that we know around the globe to pray for us and to pray over us, but we cannot force out the devil and the darkness of our own unforgiveness and intentional blame-shifting. 

We give the enemy consistent access to our churches and our lives as long as we “lord it over others”, hiding our own sin, pretending that God does not see.

 

To operate or flow in Mercy means to perform out of a desire to relieve suffering, and is motivated by compassion. The action of forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within   one's power to punish or harm. Mercy shown, prevents something unpleasant or provides relief from suffering.

 

IN THIS SEASON, 

THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESIRES EVERY BELIEVER 

TO DO THEMSELVES AN ETERNAL FAVOR. 

TELL THE TRUTH.

 

God will protect you more for doing this than any self-invented cover-up ever could. And, you just might regain relationships with those you have used as stepping-stones to your own deviant self-empowerment.

 

THE HEAVENLY KING OF GLORY  

IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER CREATING NEWNESS OF LIFE!

 

If we are indeed man or a woman of prayer, the test will come of that deep prayer life when your enemies surround you, accuse you, and often attempt to execute and silence you. 

 

Some will manifest in this next year as false friends who use and abuse your friendships and contacts, in order to gain access to notoriety and power over all of the things you are supposed be preparing for yourself. They will exhaust and weaken you until you once and for all put upon the altar of surrender, any need for someone else to carry you or promote you.  

 A man or a woman of prayer in these days, right now, will learn to sweep out iniquity, falseness, slander, and “hierarchical pecking orders” through goodness and humility.

 

This is a time to trust, to depend upon, to lean upon, the goodness of the Lord. 

This is a time to trust in His sovereignty more than ever before.

It is His right to define what grace is. 

It is not man’s right. 

 

Prophetic Exhortation 

“And so says the Lord, the Spirit of Grace, the Voice of Wisdom, and the only Almighty One. 

As you cry out for times of refreshing, for a change in the hearts of men, for a move of my Spirit across the lands of Earth, my command to you is that you begin to create an atmosphere where I may speak My plans, according to My Word and according to My prerogatives.

I will lead you and guide you with enough light each day, as you come to that narrow place with me. 

I will strengthen your weakened emotions and spiritual discernment as you dialogue in honesty with me. 

Some of you must quickly repent of foolish choices and foolish actions that have caused many to be shattered and shamed because you spoke out of a title or calling, rather than out of following my voice.

Begin to dig wells in prayer. 

Become entrenched and immersed in it, never ceasing. 

Prepare places where my rain may fall and cause a fresh drinking place for those yet to taste of my goodness, as well as for those who are thirsty within my Body.

Begin to dig wells in prayer in dry places, with humility and goodness. 

Lean upon me, trust in me, do not lean upon your own understanding, for you have well seen that having done this in the past you have missed many opportunities to prepare a way of salvation for others.

“I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.” (Isaiah 48:10)

So comfort yourself, weary and tried believer with this thought. Does not the word come like a soft shower, quieting the fury of the flame? Is it not a fireproof armor against the heat, which will then have no power? 

Whatever happens to you in this valley of weeping, know that I have chosen it for you.

If you still require an even greater comfort, remember that you have the Son of man with you in the valley, in that “secret place” with you.  There He sits by your side, One whom you have not seen but whom you love and whether you know it or not, this is the true friend who sticks closely by you.

I will never leave one whom I have chosen as my own.

Great grace. Great mercy. Great promise. 

All these are yours, extended from my hand, and for you to extend, from your hand. 

 

NOW IS THE SEASON…

…To live out the heart and life of the servant as I lead you with the little light that you have at this time. It is all you need as long as it comes from me. 

It is a time to learn to march forward, to dig wells, to prepare, so that others may also drink freely with no restraints.

When I come and speak to you and move among you, I express everything that is pure and lovely and has a good report and sin and uncleanliness depart.

Peace also rains when I move with humble power. Gentleness will be the result of my transforming power. 

Harmlessness will follow, for hearts that are touched by me are never exhibiting any feelings of superiority, self-assertiveness, or showiness.

My grace is sufficient for you, and you will find it if you will seek it, and above all if you will express it!

“Be strong in the grace that is in me.” (2 Timothy 2:1)

As a reservoir empties itself into pipes, so have I emptied out my grace for my people in this Next Wave of My Heart. 

From my fullness you have received “Grace for Grace”. Grace is always available from me, without price.

“Keep yourselves then, from overconfident, arrogant sins.” (Psalm 19:13) 

You will certainly stumble if you look away from the One who is able to keep you from falling. 

Be very cautious about pushing yourself into the forefront of public gatherings and among the more visible. If you are to be used in higher visibility, let it be Me who promotes you there. 

Some who drive themselves to the forefront will also have greater scrutiny and unfortunate exposure of hidden agendas and unholy transactions in this season, and sadly will be brought low again because of their self presumption of importance. 

If your love is fervent, your faith constant, and your hope bright, continue nonetheless to be on your guard and cry out, “Keep us from temptation!”

The seasons revolve according to my Divine appointment and man cannot change their schedule. 

In the spiritual as in the natural realm, man’s power is limited.

I alone can remove the winter of spiritual death from an individual or from a church.

Let me hear you say, “Not my will, but as you will oh Lord!” 

As you yield to me my people, I will yield in return and bring the sweetness of my Holy Presence into your very homes, your gatherings, whether modest or larger numbers are attending. 

I look for honest, wisdom-filled, and humble people to move among and to move through.  

Let it be, as I desire! As I will!  

Allow me to determine what is the best for you. 

Be content to leave your prayer and your petitions in my hands.

I know when to give, how to give, what to give, and what to withhold.

As you visit me in the secret place of repentance and brokenness, as the path becomes narrower, seeking me earnestly and often times pleading with humility and resignation, you shall surely prevail!

I am the light on your pathway. And, I AM all you need.” 

 

This Was A Strong Word From The Lord! 

I encourage you to listen to it and read it and meditate over it, several times, allowing the Holy Spirit to do a deeper work in your heart. 

When the Spirit of God speaks to us about a Season that we are in, or about things that are to come, we need to cleanse our hearts from being impatient, and allow Him to do that work that gets down deep inside and pushes out anything that we are running from, or, He begins to deal with the things that we have been asking questions about, and now he’s bringing the answers. 

I bless you today and encourage you to dedicate yourselves to rich and set apart time in prayer and fellowship with the King of heaven. 

I encourage you to dig wells in prayer. It’s not glamorous! 

But, I can tell you this we’ve been having prayer gatherings every Thursday evening now for well over two years now, actually, three now, and I can tell you that there have been nights where it seems like two hours went by and it felt like 15 minutes.

The presence of the Holy Spirit is so sweet and thick, and you know the scripture talks about “the weight of his glory” (2 Corinthians 16-18) there is a presence of weight, a thickness of the presence of God, a rich atmosphere.  

We have seen the impossible take place in prayer!  We have seen lives changed,  we have seen court cases reversed, we have seen sick bodies be recovered and restored and miracles take place in families. 

We are grateful to the Lord that when we come together in his name, he is there with us, and that scripture that says whenever two or more gather in  my name there I am in the midst of them, (Matthew 18:20), that can correspond with the scripture verse that talks about a threefold cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12), and that’s like three strands of a braid. 

When we are braided together, that’s a strong bond with the Lord and He is like a cord that’s bound to us whenever we gather and it’s not easily broken and cannot be broken by any other force.

We live in the presence of a Sovereign, Mighty Force, and that is the Savior, Jesus Christ.
