NOW IS THE TIME I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP

Dear Friend of the Savior,

I am passing on to you a truly crucial and what I ever so tenderly discern, is a truthful word from the Lord in this time of preparation and continued shaking of the religious and self-built empires of man.

I humbly ask especially the men in the Body of Christ who read this prophetic exhortation, to allow the Lord to walk the hidden and wounded areas of your hearts and to "hear" Him through this word.

If the potentially up-and-coming leaders of the next apostolic surge of fathering and mothering do not have loving and nurturing qualities actively at work in their own marriages, as well as provisional and protective measures in position, how will there ever be a breakaway from the past religious bondages and a release into fresh places of purity and integral service?

How will another generation of incubating leaders ever move to higher dimensions of integrity and release if those attempting to lead them still walk in self centered "navel gazing?"

Please...risk the loving warnings and correcting, as well as encouragement of the Lord, and read the following visionary insight from a seasoned voice in the body of Christ.

In His Shadow,

NOW IS THE TIME I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP

"When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Cor 5:4-8

NOW IS THE TIME - I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP.

THERE ARE MANY OF MY OWN WHO ARE BOASTERS OF YOUR OWN SELVES, HAVING A SUPERIOR ATTITUDE OF WHO YOU ARE.

You claim the Name of Jesus but you claim it as a special privilege to set yourselves above others. You claim His Name in expecting special favor, special protection and special privilege while subtly you trample down what My Son did for ALL !!! You minister to people in My Name but spend more time talking about yourselves and your accomplishments than you do of the Name of Jesus and what HE can truly do in a person's life.

HUSBANDS, YOU MISTREAT YOUR WIVES WHILE ELEVATING OTHERS ABOVE THEM AND YOU DARE TO EXPECT ME TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS AND TO BLESS YOU IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS. Husbands who say, “Lord, I am not into physical adultery!”… but you exhibit spiritual adultery in your heart and words. Slavery, in fact you treat your wives and other women as a type of slave... you have backed them into a corner and in many cases the church is helping you keep them there.

This is an indicator of a much deeper problem, the arrogance and pride of man spilling over in your life and your actions while claiming to be Mine. Arrogance and pride in who you are and what “you believe” is robbing you of who you are to be In Christ. There is only one way back, to re-order your life in the ways of your heavenly Father. I will not and I cannot bless a man or a church who mistreats any of My daughters. Such pride and arrogance in self I will tolerate no longer.

I HAVE SENT MANY WARNINGS YOUR WAY, MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS BUT STILL MANY COMPROMISE - WHILE SAYING YOU PUT ME FIRST.

You have deceived yourself as thinking you are wise but it is wisdom by the standards of this age , but your Lord knows and the thoughts of the wise are futile. You boast of what you know and that you can't possibly be in any error of what you believe. You continue to believe you shall walk in My power in the times to come and that you will have My protection.

YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF FIRST IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO and through the steps you have taken you have sought your own power but the results will be to your own peril. You have prepared, though you will disagree even now, 'in the flesh' and you will reap both trouble in the flesh 'and' in the spirit.

YOU HAVE STOOD PROCLAIMING TO BE A CHRISTIAN WHILE YOUR HEART IS FAR FROM IT. You have worshipped your own beliefs and you stand in control of your own destiny while giving lip service to Me. I AM shall not be mocked! Yes, I have been long suffering but the time has come for Me to step in and set things right. I have asked you to submit to Me in all things but your arrogance in what you believe, even now closes your ears for you to hear....

YOU PROCLAIM YOU LIFT THE CROSS OF JESUS HIGH IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO. Yet you judge and approve of barriers and divisions between peoples and nations. You judge others rather than seeing each person as someone for whom Jesus died and promised to draw unto Himself. You claim to be His but you use the cross more as a club of submission when you should be using it as drawing people to reconciliation.

I AM THAT I AM.... HAVE I NOT SAID THAT JUDGMENT BEGINS WITH MY OWN? You think because you have continued unchecked that my judgment shall not come to you.I have spoken over and over and over again, in warning but you have continued on your own path of destruction.

YOU HAVE PERSISTED IN BRINGING OTHERS LOW
while elevating yourself and you have come to a point in your own mind that you cannot possibly accept this as being true of yourself. You had a slot in time for true repentance but now you have crossed over in your own arrogance and self righteousness. Did you really believe that I would not lift My protection from upon you? Even now, most will not see, even now you will proclaim that you speak My words of truth, but the truth is 'you' are in control of your own words and actions but Beloved, the I AM is and always will be.... In Control!!!!

EVEN NOW, I SAY AGAIN, YOU MUST BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY,
you have heard Me say this before and once again I speak for you to either follow Me according to My Word or you will not be with Me at all. Yet most, even now will continue to be blinded to what you are doing - but a few, I say a few will allow My Words to penetrate your heart and repent and truly follow me in all My ways and you will be part of My greatest move that is about to spring on the world.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOU WHO STILL DO NOT SEEK TO "SEE", DESPITE ALL OF MY WARNINGS AND TRULY CHANGE YOUR WAYS, YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ONE OF TWO ACTIONS.... For some, I will take you home before you can ostracize yourself completely from me. For some, My protection will leave you and you will be handed over to Satan so the sinful nature may be destroyed so that your spirit may be saved on the "Day of the Lord."

YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF FIRST IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO and I must take action for My Name's Sake. Yes, I shall be hard on you but it is for the ultimate end of your true and complete return to Me. This is a final wake-up call, there is no time to waste for I AM moving and I AM moving speedily!

"In the time of My favor, I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." 2 COR 6:2

NOW, I WILL TURN TO THOSE WHO ARE TRULY SERVING ME IN TRUTH AND THEY WILL HAVE MY PROTECTION IN THE DARK TIMES TO COME.

I will free them from the current snares and circumstances they have been living under and from those whose ultimate motive has been to rule over them. Yes, I shall now bring complete freedom to those who others have sought to bring low for they have been prepared by My hand and will stand wholly before Me.

These are called by My Name and you shall stand triumphant in the midst of all to come. To you, My Beloved, I AM instilling a Spirit of Peace and My Spirit of Peace shall lead you from this day forward.
I said I would band you together, that was My promise to you and I will do as I have promised. Even now I have placed some of you together and more will be added unto you.

YOU SHALL WALK IN WHAT I HAVE ORDAINED FOR YOU AND YOU WILL NOT COMPROMISE MY WORD IN ANY WAY BUT WALK IN A TRUE SPIRIT OF HUMILITY AND LOVE.

You, My Beloved, shall stand in My love and in My truth and I shall raise you up victorious "by Myself" for you have listened to your Heavenly Father even when being held down by your circumstances. You place Me before all, even your own ambitions and desires, now you will see Me move amongst you and you shall go forth in My Name as My light unto the world while seeing all of My promises to you come to past and receiving blessings beyond what you can contain.

HEAR ME NOW: "DO NOT FRET YOURSELVES ANY LONGER BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS OF VICE, FOR THEY SHALL BE CUT OFF." It is because of the Rock of Conviction, Jesus the Christ, that I AM is with you and In you and I say to you SURELY the gates of hell shall not prevail !!!

SOME WILL SEE ME GEOGRAPHICALLY MOVE THEM IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE.... Some will see My blessings surround them and they will be astounded.... Some will see the places of refuge in which I am giving to their trust - raised up in a day....

EVERY ONE OF MY FAITHFUL ONES WILL EXPERIENCE THE MIRACULOUS WHICH WILL CATAPULT THEM INTO THEIR DESTINY..... I tell you, Now is the time of My favor! Now is the day of salvation ! Now is the time for your to rejoice for you will see the salvation of your Lord in every area of your life.

NOW IS THE TIME - I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP !!!

"A German Lady Remembers and Speaks"

Dear Believer,

Your nation, your country, your culture and future are all in turmoil no matter where you are right now reading this.

We cannot as Christians take a passive fatalistic approach to all that is occurring. We need to cry out, warn, pray until our throats ache, and get the focus off of our small little selves.

Please read the message from a wise elder saint who has chosen to be a voice...
...regardless of the what it has cost her.

A German Lady Remembers and Speaks

Lori Kalner


In Germany, when Hitler came to power, it was a time of terrible financial depression. Money was worth nothing.

In Germany people lost homes and jobs, just like in the American Depression in the 1930s, which we have read about in Thoene's Shiloh books.

In those days, in my homeland,
Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising "Change."

He blamed the "Zionists" around the world for all our problems.
He told everyone it was greedy Zionist Bankers who had caused every problem we had.
He promised when he was leader, the greedy Zionist bankers would be punished. The Zionists, he promised, would be wiped off the face of the earth.
So Hitler was elected to power by only 1/3 the popular vote.

A coalition of other political parties in parliament made him supreme leader.
Then, when he was leader, he disgraced and expelled everyone in parliament who did not go along with him.

Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would.
The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler.

This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement.
It began with praise of the Fuhrer's programs on the lips of innocent children.
Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the playyard.

Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school.

My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at school.
The political hymns of children proclaimed Change was coming to our homeland and the Fuhrer was a leader we could trust.

I will never forget my father's face. Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was song on the lips of little children.

That evening before he said grace at the dinner table, he placed his hands upon the heads of my brothers and me and prayed the Living Word upon us from Jeremiah 1:4-5.

'Now the Word of the Lord came to me, saying,
"Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you,
and before you were born I
consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to
The nations."

Soon the children's songs praising the Fuhrer were heard everywhere on the streets and over the radio. "With our Fuhrer to lead us, we can do it! We can change the world!"

Soon after that Papa, a pastor, was turned away from visiting elderly parishioners in hospitals. The people he had come to bring comfort of God's Word, were "no longer there."

Where had they vanished to while under nationalized health care? It became an open secret.

The elderly and sick began to disappear from hospitals feet first as "mercy killing" became the policy.

Children with disabilities and those who had Down syndrome were euthanized.

People whispered, "Maybe it is better for them now. Put them out of misery.
They are no longer suffering.And, of course, their death is better for the treasury of our nation. Our taxes no longer must be spent to care for such a burden."
And so murder was called mercy.

The government took over private business. Industry and health care were "nationalized." (NA-ZI means National Socialist Party)

The businesses of all Jews were seized. (Perhaps you remember our story in Berlin on Krystalnacht in the book Munich Signature)

The world and God's word were turned upside down.
Hitler promised the people economic Change?
Not change. It was, rather, Lucifer's very ancient Delusion leading to Destruction.

What began with the propaganda of children singing a catchy tune ended in the deaths of millions of children.

The reality of what came upon us is so horrible that you in this present generation cannot imagine it. Our suffering is too great to ever tell in a book or show in a black and white newsreel.

When I spoke to Bodie about some of these things, she wept and said she could not bear to write them.

Perhaps one day she will, but I asked her, "who could bear to read our suffering?"
Yet with my last breaths I warn every Christian and Jew now in the name of the Lord,
Unless your course of the church in America is spiritually changed now, returning to the Lord, there are new horrors yet to come.

I trembled last night when I heard the voices of American children raised in song, praising the name of Obama, the charismatic fellow who claims he is the American Messiah.
Yet I have heard what this man Obama says about abortion and the "mercy killing" of tiny babies who are not wanted.

There are so few of us left to warn you.

I have heard that there are 69 million Catholics in America and 70 million Evangelical Christians.

Where are your voices?
Where is your outrage?
Where is passion and your vote?

Do you vote based on an abortionist's empty promises and economics?
Or do you vote according to the Bible?

Thus says the Lord about every living child still in the womb.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you."

I have experienced the signs of the politics of Death in my youth.
I see them again now.
Christians! Unless you stand up now, you will lose your freedom of religion.

In America priests and preachers have already lost their freedom to speak openly from their pulpits of moral danger in political candidates.

They cannot legally instruct you of which candidate holds fast to the precepts of scripture!
American law forbids this freedom of speech to conservative pastors or they will lose their "tax exempt" status.

And yet I have heard the words of Obama's pastor Damning America!
I have heard the words of Obama damning and mocking all of you in small towns because you "Cling to your religion."

But I am a woman whose name is unknown. My life is recorded as a work of fiction.
I have no fear of reprisal when I speak truth to you from the pages of a book.
(Though the Zion Covenant books are mocked and condemned by the Left in America.)

I am an old woman and will soon go to be with my Lord.
I have no fear for myself, but for all of you and for your children, I tremble.

I tremble at the hymns to a political leaders which your children will sing at school.
(Though even now a hymn or a prayer to God and our Lord Jesus is against the law in public school!)

Your vote must put a stop to what will come upon America if Barrack Obama is elected.
I pray you will personally heed this warning for the sake of your children and your grandchildren. Do not be deceived.

The Lord in Jeremiah 1:7-8 commands every believer to speak up!

"Do not say, 'I am only a youth,' for to all whom I send you, you shall go,
and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Do not be afraid of them for I am with you, declares the Lord!"

I am in Prayer for you, and for the Church!
Spoken to you in the authority of Jesus the Christ,
the Name Above All Names,
Lori Kalner

"There is a Language of the Kingdom"

Dear Worshiper of the King!

I am sharing the new song of the Lord that I have been mixing down and working on which came from the
Women's"Daughter of His Countenance" Conference in The Hague in the Netherlands.

I left the song just as it was recorded on piano and voice live and spontaneously, but added a few strings and
percussive bells which I heard in my Spirit at the time that I was ministering the song.

Click on the Link here to listen.




I have also included the lyrics for you to read along with!

I trust that this will bring a great refreshing over your soul and that you will enter into the rich presence of the Lord

in His Secret Place!

Be blessed!

THERE IS A LANGUAGE OF THE KINGDOM

A spontaneous prophetic song of the Lord

By Mary Lindow

There is a language of My Kingdom

There is a language of the saints

The Language of Love

The Language of Peace

The Language of My Grace!

Lay down your swords

Lay down your words

I am a Father that does not

Divide the Bride

So come, and humble yourselves,

And learn of my ways

The Heart of the Father Speaks

If you long to know me more

You must seek my heart

Not try to impart what you think - is my plan

You must just come like a child,

Come like a wounded child

And I will take you by the hand

Oh! There is a language only Heaven speaks

You must learn it on the earth so there is peace!

My child, until you lay your burdens down

Lay down your pride, throw down your own

Self-willed crowns

And Come to me

Humbly come to me,

Like a child-

Then.

My Kingdom is built on Grace

Then you will see!

Oh! Then you will see

My Face.

"THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT FAITHFUL FRIENDS"

By Mary Lindow



In our world that has gone crazy with slander, betrayal and treachery, there has never been a greater time that we need true and faithful friends.



I don’t mean the “friend” that you might greet over the backyard fence or in a bookstore coffee shop. I mean someone who understands the “staying power” of mortar to brick when tsunamis of sorrow or loss or trauma hit you full on in the face.



“True Friendship isn’t about being there when it’s convenient.

It’s about being there when it’s not.”



GENUINE FRIENDSHIP INVOLVES A SHARED “EVIDENCE” OF CARING

and concern, a desire to see one another grow and develop, and a hope for each other to succeed in all facets of life.



TRUE FRIENDSHIP INVOLVES ACTION

Doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return; sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or discouraging criticism.



I personally, have been blessed beyond the wildest of my dreams with friends that have so lovingly walked with me through devastations, loss, illnesses and times of deep agony. They held my heart in their hands and lifted it up to the King of Mercy and healing, and would not let go until He himself brought refreshing and Hope.



Each of them has also passed through deep pain and times of near death, be it emotionally, physically spiritually or relationally. And out of all of this trauma a deep bond was forged by the Hand of the One who Himself calls us Friends.





“If one falls down, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”

Ecclesiastes 4:10






TRUE FRIENDSHIP INVOLVES RELATIONSHIP.

Many people say, "Oh, he or she's a good friend of mine," yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend." Friendship takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other's growth. 
My experiences have taught me that if someone loves things, positions, or titles more than relationship, than when times get tough, holding onto things and position are wedges that ruin friendships.



Trust is so very necessary to have true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the World Wide Web! When we fail to be trustworthy with the private and sacred secrets of our friends it can destroy a friendship in a hurry.



FAITHFULNESS AND LOYALTY ARE ESSENTIAL TO TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no judgmental thought, no turning away. 

There are often very tender and emotionally difficult times in Godly friendships, where we will be required to lovingly address a very painful and difficult situation with someone we dearly love and respect. It will cost us the risk of even perhaps causing a temporary pain to a loved friend in order to help them see where there might be a weakness of character or some deception that would otherwise ruin them.





Real and true friendship involves freedom of choice, accountability, truth, and forgiveness. Peter and Jesus give us this example: Peter, afraid for his life after Jesus is led away from the Garden of Gethsemane, denies knowing Jesus (John 18). As He is led away by His accusers, Jesus looks at Peter and says, "I knew you would deny Me, and I forgive you" (John 21).




REAL FRIENDSHIP LOOKS AT THE HEART,

NOT JUST THE "PACKAGING."



Genuine friendship loves for love's sake, not just for what it can get in return. True friendship is both challenging and exciting. It risks, it overlooks faults, and it loves unconditionally, but it also involves being truthful, even though it may hurt. A false friend will “skate over” the issue and pretend to be passive and indifferent to any situation that might put them into a place of asserting any personal emotion or investment.



Proverbs 27:6 really states this so beautifully.



“Wounds from a friend can be trusted,

But an enemy multiplies kisses.”



TRUE FRIENDSHIP REQUIRES CERTAIN ACCOUNTABILITY FACTORS.



Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle.



Real friends are dependable. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.



We pour out willingly and with joy from our own personal resources and talents and gifts so that our friends might be refreshed, blessed, and given joyful times of rich celebration of sharing the blessing of the Lord that we have been so lavished upon by Him.



I HAVE BEEN LOVED SO VERY DEEPLY BY MY DEAREST OF FRIENDS.

They whisper to me in the night seasons when I cannot seem to hope or see my way, and the tell me of the love and future that the Father has for me. They give wise counsel and pour into the wounded places of broken promises, betrayals, and anxiety, the perfume of grace. I have feasted upon their kindness until I again sing and rejoice in God my Savior. They have taught me to rest and enjoy the gift of sharing in their abundance.



The taste of food and simple cups of coffee are much more savory to me in the company of a friend who can sit and sound the depths of the love the Father has for us, regardless of who might be listening to us dialog.



“Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,

And the pleasantness of one's friend

Springs from his earnest counsel.”

Proverbs 27:9



WHEN WE INVEST INTO FRIENDSHIP,

It costs us time, personal sacrifice and energy. We give before the need becomes so great that we see our beloved friends humiliated and groping. We listen ever so intently to the voice of the Lord our God as His tells us of the prayer and help our weakened members might be facing. A friend who walks in the imitation of Christ extends the hand of mercy, grace, and help, way before the foot of their companion stumbles.



“Greater love has no one than this,

That he lay down his life for his friends.”

John 15:13



WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OUR FRIENDS?

I think we all know the answer and if we are willing, can hear even now the prompting of the Lord to assist one of our friends and perhaps in loving sacrifice, minimize our own importance and “perceived needs” in order that our friends would be made whole and walk again without weariness and discouragement.



"A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE SONG IN YOUR HEART,

AND CAN SING IT BACK TO YOU…

…WHEN YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE WORDS."



Lip service and action in friendship are huge measuring rods to gauge the depth of care that we might have for our “so-called” friends. I have walked among the rich and among the poor and the most important determining factor of friendship in those settings is the freedom to be able to share and enjoy with them regardless of the lack or abundance of material substance. There can be bitter grasping and a sour clutching of even the smallest of morsels when someone is bound by the fear of “sharing.” Yet, even among the most beautiful and affluent of places, when friendship in Christ is the focus, earthly things pale in the light of mutual gratefulness for all the Lord has done among us as friends.



DON’T LOOK TO BE ONE WHO HAS MANY MANY “ADMIRERS”

and acquaintances. Again. True friendship in a Christ-like focus is like a family in a Royal Kingdom. It takes us into another place of intimacy and faithfulness that the World finds impossible to sustain.



“A man of many companions may come to ruin,

But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Proverbs 18:24



A PERSONAL MOMENT OF THANKS

I wish to say to those of you (you know who you are!) who have been so very abundantly kind and true to myself and my husband and our children, your unconditional arms of compassion and strength have been like a hedge of protection and a safe place to rest under the shadow of the wings of our King. The times when I was strong and you were weakened were a joy to me as I was able to in turn, surround you in prayer, love, and grace. This mutual “Dance of abiding in unity” and fidelity of friendship has granted to us a family that lasts for Eternity.



AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW IN MATURITY AND TRUST

in the Power of God’s redemptive love, may the world come to know that there are friendships found in the “Beloved” that create a bond between heaven and earth that no distress, no tragedy and no devastation can destroy.



Let us continue to allow the Father to grow these beautiful vines and woven cords of strength as we yield to His service offered to one another, in sacrificial honor unto the ONE who paid the ultimate price for our ability to have Friendship with Him.



“But you, dear friends,

Build yourselves up in your most holy faith

And pray in the Holy Spirit.”

Jude 1:20

“THE SEASON FOR A SIMPLIFIED WALK WITH JESUS HAS BLOSSOMED!”

“THE SEASON FOR A SIMPLIFIED WALK WITH JESUS HAS BLOSSOMED!”
By Mary Lindow

I HAVE AN UNUSUAL STIRRING IN MY SPIRIT FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT AS I WRITE THIS MESSAGE.
The Lord is revealing a sound in the earth coming from the hearts and deep cries of so many of His people right now. Perhaps it might even be yours as you read. There is a cry of hunger for His sure, safe presence in difficult times and in changing times.

A NEED FOR “QUIET”
The world and it's voices of influence, humanistic subtleties, and constant technology and it's sounds, bring about an overload of weariness to all people, and there is a greater need for a place of rest for the warriors of truth who are very aware of the pressures that have not stopped mounting for many years now.

THERE IS MUCH TREACHERY OCCURRING IN THE EVIL PLANS OF DARKNESS AND THE PEOPLE HELD CAPTIVE BY IT THESE DAYS!
It can bring a real sense of despair, broken heartedness and shock, when you encounter this type of thing and when it attempts to destroy your hope and confidence in what the Lord Jesus has set you apart for to express in His Power and in His name.

WHY OH WHY ALL THE DELAYS?
I don't know fully why it seems as if good people who are sincere and pure hearted seem to go through more persecution and repeated difficulty than those who seem to be the ones perpetuating the majority of it!!

SO MANY RIGHT NOW ARE NEARLY AT THEIR WITS END
WAITING FOR GOD TO RELIEVE THEM OF SORROW,
DISILLUSIONMENT AND BATTLE FATIGUE!

My soul faints with longing for your rescue,
But I have put my hope in your word.
Psalm 119:81

THE ENCOURAGER HEARS YOU!
“You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
You encourage them, and you listen to their cry”
Psalm 10:17

What is this verse saying to you and I right now? It is saying that the Lord Himself will encourage us! That is why we must continue to fight for that place of Divine “refuge!” That, “get away from it all” place of hungering and longing for His comfort.
He knows our hurt, our loneliness, our scorched and heart torn issues!
He understands how agonizing and bled out we can get when it seems as if after battle after battle we begin to wonder if something might be wrong with us!
Hope delayed makes the heart sick,
but when dreams come true,
there is life and joy.
Proverbs 13:12 (NAT)

NOTHING CAN SATISFY DRY LIPS LIKE WATER!
We are in a time where no persons opinions, no one’s books, no one’s TV shows are going to satisfy that craving that need for a thirst quenching drink of companionship with God.
We long to hear words from someone that tell us everything is going to be all right! That our children will be safe, our homes protected, our basic needs provided! And yet! Nothing “out there” satisfies us fully!
You see Dear Beloved one…
THE SEASON OF GREAT HUNGER FOR THE SIMPLE WALK WITH JESUS…
… HAS BLOSSOMED!

Only time spent with him like a dear dear friend will fill the gaping ache you have. He will speak, He will comfort, and He will show you what is true and what is false in the days ahead if you will return to that Place of companionship with Him. Away from the opinions of men and the noise of this life.
“Every word you give me is a miracle word-
how could I help but obey?
Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning.
Mouth open and panting,
I wanted your commands more than anything.
Turn my way, look kindly on me,
as you always do to those who personally love you.”
Psalm 119:129-131 (The Message)

A PROPHETIC WHISPER TO YOUR HEART FROM THE SAVIOR
“ To know of My ways, you must know ME!
To Know Me, you must spend time with ME.
To spend time with Me, you must purpose, to put aside the lists of things you have to do, before you can spend time with Me.”
“Order you days first in My Presence, and watch the desires of your heart be fulfilled. Man and his counsel will always fall short of the full truth of My Wisdom. I have blueprints and a Master plan for so many things yet to build upon in your life.”
“Come. Let us talk again together.”
“You are the temple, the house of My Holy Spirit. I desire to build you up in spiritual strength as you walk in prayer conversations with me. “I will fulfill your longing for peace and direction as you step up again into a heavenly trust and rest.”
“People will change, man will fail you, friends will turn, if they are not seeking My Voice above the clamor of the day. And you My child will fail others, if you listen to your own voice of reason and intelligence. As you turn to Me, you will see My compassion poured out upon you and you will then have My power of pure godly compassion and Wisdom-driven grace to pour out on others.”

“I too, long for you as well! Seek Me-with all of your heart, your longings, your heartaches, your dreams. And I will be there with arms of strength to rescue you from Despair.”

You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

The LORD is good to those, whose hope is in Him,
to the one who seeks Him
Lamentations 3:25

"I AM GOING TO FULFILL WHAT I SAID I WOULD DO IN THIS AGE!"

"Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish for I am going to do something
in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you."
Acts 13:41


THESE WORDS THAT WERE SPOKEN OUT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS SEEM TO BE AS FRESH AND DELIBERATE FOR TODAY AS THEY WERE BACK WHEN ORIGINALLY SPOKEN!

Oh how the Lord has been saying over and over again, "I am going to fulfill what I said I would do in this age!" And yet. Scoffers, and those still riddled with the leprosy of having worldly ambitions, and the smell of self promotion emanating from them ...still with smirks of doubt on their lips and eyes rolling in their head in mocking gesture, still...don't believe that the Lord will deal with such petty things as the little issues of personal secret sin!

The Lord Jesus is the one God who has such unending and vast grace and patience!
He urges, intercedes, and directly visits those who are living on the fringe of His best for their lives, trying to compel them to be honest before His throne!


" TERRORISTS IN THE CHURCH "
For ages the Lord has warned His people about allowing the voice of strangers to be an influence to them! He said that, "His sheep know His voice...and the voice of a stranger they will not follow." That means that the sheep need to be "His sheep" by remaining close to His voice, which is His Daily Word and also stay in fellowship with strong, integral, committed believers.

The Lord is doing so many different things in His Body right now to get it to the place where it can move into strategic revival and massive waves of miracles and salvation.

As of late, he has focused me in on the subject of terrorism in the church. This is really none other than the "spirit of death" that tries to come and accuse, confuse, and destroy the Work of God's Kingdom.

We have all heard plenty about the spirit of Jezebel, and her milk toast husband Ahab, and other spirits that threaten the church from functioning correctly. They all tie into this spirit of death stronghold!


WHENEVER THERE IS A "NATURAL OCCURRENCE GOING ON IN THE WORLD" THERE IS ALWAYS A SPIRITUAL PARALLEL THAT RUNS MUCH DEEPER.

The rise of terrorism in the nations has brought out in the supernatural our awareness of what true Spiritual Warfare against demonic terrorism in the Church is doing!"


THE KEY TO COMBAT IS RESTING IN THE TIMES OF CONFLICT!
This means, resting from everything that can take your focus off of life giving peace! Business, and planning, as well as, "inspiring brethren to higher heights," can be thin ice to walk on when you are tired or in a place of dealing with conflicts. A time of strategic prayer and breaking off strongholds from our own minds and family as well as others we might walk with spiritually who have become weary in battle and even perhaps influenced by strong and convincing voices, needs to be implemented in order to "clear the air!"


WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN HELLISH BATTLES!
Your turn might well come soon enough! Be a voice of encouragement! Be a voice like Nathan the prophet who told it like it was no matter what the cost! Protect your brothers and sisters of the Word with grace and kind words! This is so vital in destroying the evil plans of the death spirit trying to bury the prophetic church!

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs. 18:21


ACT IN THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT!
This means, when someone does an evil deed or speaks words of death or cruelty about ANYONE, you move in the opposite spirit! You reverse the curse!
The tongue is a weapon of destruction or a weapon of warfare!
The Lord is calling you and I into a place of combat whether we like it or not!
Speak Life! Speak Love! Speak Hope!

A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit.
Proverbs. 15:4

Rise up and let the New creation Life of Grace and Hope and Abundant sharing of resources be your "vials of light" used against enemy forces and voices that have broken hearts and hopes!
Become a "Voice of LIFE!"


THE LORD WARNS THAT WE ARE TO BE ONLY HIS REPRESENTATIVES!
If we use our tongues as agents of destruction, then we open ourselves up to evil spirits who can add to the fire all kinds of additional components that will feed dissention and conflict into our relationships and places where we fellowship.

And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity;
the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body,
and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
James 3:6

Let the Lord be glorified and the enemy silenced as we ask the Father to show us the Words He would have us speak. Even when we need to bring correction or need to confront, it can be done is such integrity that many streams of healing can begin to take place, rather than creating cliffs of utter destruction to wobble upon!


THE SHAKING OF GOD IS PRODUCING PURE LIPS ON THE SAINTS!
Rejoice! He is bringing about New Life in all of us! It is a season when those who have been under the heat of the wilderness are still bearing fruit, even when it's not fun.
They just kept digging deeper for the water from heaven.

Others get impatient and start finding ways to make things happen on their own timetable. These people begin to create a place of power for themselves, and out of a very shallow commitment to spiritual depth, paint a picture for other weak believers to follow.

Sadly! It is nothing more than "mirage" in the dessert. They live off of the "fringe" of all that God has to offer, because they have an evil blemish in their hearts that they refuse to examine or allow others to hold them accountable for. These individuals will listen to those who seemingly have a form of godliness, but whisper from outside the camp of God! They say, "Listen to this! God is moving here! Come over this way!" And, these voices will scoff and mock, tearing down the pathway that is yes! NARROW. They will offer a broad and amusing pathway that appears to be so less difficult and without thorns or struggle!


"WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE ON THE FRINGES OF WHAT GOD IS SAYING
IN HIS KINGDOM, YOU ARE ALWAYS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE VOICES THAT WHISTLE IN THE PARCHED DESERT WIND!"


GET SOME MUSCLE BEHIND YOUR WORDS!
Move into simpler lifestyles, nearer to the fire of God and His Presence where the pillar warms in the night seasons and the cloud shields from peril during the day! When you are so consumed by the glory and presence of God that you must do everything you can to live in it and near it you will be a blessed person! Blessed is the man who!

To flourish in God means to have no other love focus but his will! And. No secret agendas or hope of personal greatness in reward for your efforts! The verse below tells of our deserved reward if we persevere!

Blessed is the man, who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test,
He will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
-James 1:12


THERE IS TIME RIGHT NOW, TO CLEAN UP OUR HEARTS
AND MOVE BACK INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!
Some may need to literally cut of friendships with scoffers and whisperers! Better to lose an evil voice than your soul! Some need to stop kissing the almighty dollar bill or currency of choice and, learn to share with others freely without feeling suspicious of them! Perhaps you need to examine your tendency to be harsh and over corrective of those around you in service? These are all stains needing to be washed out of our robes before we can enter into the city or "cities" of harvest God has waiting in such heavy ladened expectancy!


LET'S STOP PONDERING THE THINGS GOD IS SAYING
AND BEGIN TO QUICKLY ACT ON THEM.
Little children love it when a loving Father promises a treat if they finish their task and assigned chores, because they know it is something special! Let us return as well, to that simple trust, as we obey the Father, and go about taking care of the little tasks of cleaning up our lives in hope of a greater reward.

DECLARATION OF CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S PROTECTION

Dear People of Prayer,

I wanted to share with you a wonderful "prayer declaration" to use in your daily meeting time with the Father and as you intercede for your families, friends, and other relationships.

May it be a great blessing to you today!


In His Shadow,
Mary Lindow


"DECLARATION OF CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S PROTECTION"

No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tongue which rises against us in judgment we do condemn. This is our heritage as servants of the Lord and our righteousness is from You, O Lord of Hosts.

If there are those who have been speaking or praying against us or seeking harm or evil to us or who have rejected us, we forgive them and, having forgiven them, we bless them in the name of the Lord.

Now we declare O Lord, that You and You alone are our God, and besides You there is no other - a just God and a Savior, the Father, the Son and the Spirit - and we worship You!

We submit ourselves afresh to you tonight in unreserved obedience. Having submitted to You, Lord, we do as Your Word directs. We resist the devil: all his pressures, his attacks, his deceptions, every instrument or agent he would seek to use against us. We do not submit! We resist him, drive him from us and exclude him from us in the Name of Jesus.

Specifically, we reject and repel:

infirmity
pain
infection
inflammation
malignancies
allergies
viruses
every form of witchcraft

Finally, Lord, we thank You that through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we have passed out from under the curse and entered into the blessing of Abraham whom You blessed in all things;

exaltation
health
reproductiveness
prosperity
victory
God's favor

AMEN!
