From yesterday during a very stirring night of prayer at the church:
I am with you, even in your mouth. I do speak and you hear for you have chosen to believe Me and My words. Hold fast My children. Hold fast to all that I give you by My Spirit and walk according to all that I write upon your heart. Trust in no man but hear My voice and be obedient to every word that proceeds out of My mouth. I will not lead you astray for I will cause you to be strengthened by My Spirit, and I will add all things unto you who seek first My kingdom and My righteousness, even as I have promised (it is written in My word). I look for those who will take nor thought for their own lives but rather become a servant of others that My people may be fed and living waters may be given to them that thirst. Will I not do all that I have spoken and perform all that is written? I hold My word higher than My name therefore I ask this day, who will allow Me to add to them all that they have need of, line upon line precept upon precept even as it is written? Only those who love truth and hate the garment spotted by the flesh will let My will be done in them. Hear Me this day for as you know, not all who say Lord, Lord will enter in to the kingdom of God. For When I spoke saying buy of Me oil, and again saying let your lamp be filled with oil, who did listen and walk according to the words of My mouth? Who answered saying "Lord, fill me to overflowing. Not my will, but Yours be done?" I know Mine and Mine know Me for My sheep know My voice and they will not follow another's. Those who love Me more than all that is of this world, even their very life, you are who I found acceptable and who I will keep from all of the evil to come. Though destruction comes, I tell you, you will not be afraid.
Believe Me. Believe all that I tell you, My Son. Trust in My words alone and lean not on any man.
To you who have said in your heart that you desire truth: I ask you, what keeps you from entering in to all that I have called you to do? What keeps you from having understanding of the things that are accomplished by My Spirit? Unbelief, the teachings of men? I tell you, cast down everything that exalts itself against Me for the understanding of men is foolishness to Me. I tell you let go of all that keeps you from Me and draw close while I am near. If any ask Me for wisdom and understanding, if any ask Me to lead them into all truth, do you think I will hold back? I am a perfect Father and will provide for those who come to Me with a pure heart, desiring only that I be lifted up and that My will be done in their lives. Choose Me this day. Choose all of Me for I am not partial. My kingdom is not meat and drink alone but righteousness, joy, peace and the Holy Ghost. Come and draw close this day that I may add all things unto you. Do not delay, for I require that you separate yourself unto Me this day.
Love in Him,
Ryan

Walk in the power of the spirit
I weigh the hearts of men. Let the weight of impurities be burned up, falling away like ashes. A heavy conscious bears itself, but I have set you free. Free to walk in the ways of correction towards wisdom. I do not impute inequity, but the dust of this world, this flesh, does hold you back. Walk in my freedom so you may have peace, hope and love. So you may walk with me. Walk in the power of the spirit. The fruit is plentiful and much can be added to you, bringing marrow to bones, joy to strife, water to a dry soul.
The pride of the flesh does wound. It's motive is to keep the strength of love, the power of spirit, weak. Open your eyes to their flimsy tools of destruction. They have no power over you. They can't bury the might of Me. I am strong and therefore you are. Stand and walk forth. Let it be known who I am.
God Bless
Carmen

Word (6.22.08)
Word: I am your strength. Do not be shaken for I have founded you. With the flesh weak, I am made strong, and my strength will see you through. Trust in me, worship me in spirit and in truth so we may commune, so we can be one. My child, I will not forsake thee. I have sought to see you to this day with my patience and knowledge of what is to come, and I will see you through to the next. You will have what you need. I am the air you breath, your daily bread within you. Your anchored by me and I am strong and constant.
He is our faithful Father, He has never let His people down. We must trust in Him with all of our hearts, letting Him be our strength. The enemy will try and make us think we are being shaken, don't let what God gives, be stolen. Don't hold onto worry or vain imagination to keep us from being led by the spirit. He is so loving and comforting to those who are His. What is there to fear?
God Bless You brothers & sisters

Scripture & Word 6/22/08
Scripture:
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do you not understand my speech? Even, because you cannot hear my word. 44You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Word:
Have nothing to do with the works of the devil, they are deceitful and captivating. The weak fall prey to their power by appealing to your own lusts (and weaknesses). I desire you walk clean and uprightly before Me, with nothing between us. But, I will not look upon sin. I will not bless sin. Sin is the work of the flesh, the fallen nature of man. To be encumbered with iniquity after one was made clean and forgiven much is as the dog returning to his vomit. The well of mercy and glory has run dry (For those who weary God by continually saying forgive me, yet love the sin, trying to serve two masters, God and their own lusts.) Will I repay My mercy with more mercy? Shall I be crucified again? You, who are unwilling to stand fast, continually wear on Me. Choose who you will serve, for the time of grace comes to an end! Walking in righteousness as in the former rain, is what you were prepared for. Stand fast (Though you would not believe and walk in the Spirit, in truth), do not waiver, for though you will cry out, I will not listen, you would not serve Me in the green season. Hold fast to what you have that in the day of decision you may preserve your (eternal) life.
What argument or excuse will you defend yourself with? God (the Judge) will do right in all the earth, for all times. Those who were given much, should have given much (Luke 7:47…I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. 48And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.) in return, yet for lust, they prevailed (imposed) upon the mercy of the Father; Thereby, falling from grace (unmerited favor) to a life in the flesh (faithless, unable to have ears to hear), Apart, from their first estate (joint heirs) and having become as the fallen angels, awaiting judgment and eternal damnation, Apart, from the Father of life, of the light of joy.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else, everything that matters, will be added to you. Trust (Him/God) with all your heart, and see with your own eyes the glory of God in your life.
Comments:
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. 8For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Thinking one knows truth and actually knowing truth are two totally different things. Thinking one has or gets the Holy Spirit without the biblical proof is not truth. Thinking one is acceptable to God without biblical proof or God telling you is not true either.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
God’s Witness, proof/evidence to man is this; The Word, the washing of the water, repentance and water baptism. The Blood, forgiveness by faith, believing all that is written, the power to become sons and daughters. The Spirit, the Spirit who actually, in reality comes to you, talks to you, shows you things to come, the promise of the Father, the Kingdom of God that comes to you, making your calling and election sure.

Vision and Word
At church Sunday 6/23/08 The Lord gave me a vision and understanding. The Vision was very simple; I just saw a tool box opened with all different types of tools set out. The understanding that the Lord gave me was that His people are the tools. He has made each tool perfectly so His will can be accomplished. Each tool is made for a specific job, and by walking in the spirit we know how we are being used and when we are to be used. God uses the tools to perform His will. We have to be willing to be used, and we have to know who God has made us to be. I just encourage everyone to seek out more understanding about their specific calling and purpose.
Then the Lord gave me this word: Be obedient to the leading of My Spirit, so that My perfect will be done. I have formed each one of you perfectly. Be faithful to what I have given you. Walk in the Spirit, walk in your calling.
Grace and Peace

Who Is Worthy?
From yesterday (3/23/08) during church:
I inhabit the praises of My people. I come near to speak to those whose hearts are toward Me.
Hear Me this day. There are not many wise, not many mighty who will enter into the kingdom of God. For it is not by strength or the understanding of men that men can enter in. But by faith believing that I am the rewarder of them who diligently seek Me. Who is worthy to receive all that I have, to understand all that I will do in the earth? Only those who have allowed Me to purify them as gold refined in the furnace seven times. Only those who have not despised the chastening of the Lord and have chosen to discipline themselves according to all that My Spirit speaks to them.
I tell you, the time draws near when I will set you in the path of those who need to hear My voice. I will be with you and cause you to speak all that I put in your mouth. This day draws near and I would have it that you be not ignorant of the devices of the enemy. For men will have itching ears and will ask you what the word of the Lord is but I tell you this day, speak only as My Spirit gives utterance. Speak only as I the Lord command that pride does not enter in. I write My words upon your heart and you will know all that I require of you in the same hour.
I encourage you My people, let faith arise within you. Do not let the cares of this life cause you to be moved, for I require that you walk in the Spirit always. Let wisdom be your portion that you may know the end of a thing even from the beginning. I require this of all who I have called to walk in strength and have chosen for such a time as this. By My Spirit, I tell you nothing is hidden from you. Who can receive it and cause themselves to stand according to all that I have shown you? Draw close this day for I will keep nothing from you.
Soon My judgment will be poured out in all the earth and only those who have allowed My peace to be their covering will not fear all that is to come. Be stayed in perfect peace for gross darkness will cover the land and many will fall by the sword but it is My will that My people be delivered from the wrath that is to come.
Love in Him,
Ryan

The Spirit's Point of View 6/21/08
While I was praying at work for the Lord to help me understand all things from a Spiritual point of view, the Lord gave me this vision and word.
The Vision:
In front of me, I saw barren trees that I assumed were either dead or they were simply resting for the winter. Either way, they had no visible leaves or fruit on their seemingly lifeless branches. Then, a pair of glasses were placed over my eyes, and when I looked through them, I again saw the trees, but this time they looked completely different. They were green and lush, and their leaves were gently swaying in the breeze.
The Understanding:
The trees represent people, and as God's ministers, we cannot judge people by what we see or understand with our carnal minds. In these times, the people who we will minister to may seem hardened and lifeless on the outside, but if we view them through the corrective lenses of the Spirit, we will see the truth of who they really are and who God wants them to be. Therefore, if we want to minister to God's people, we must put on the mind of Christ and learn to always judge a righteous, Spirit-led judgment.
The Word:
Judge all things by the Spirit. Do not consider what you see with your eyes, for they will deceive, because they are fleshly and carried away by lust. Ask yourself, are your eyes faithful? Do they not run to and fro to mischief and are they not pleased and made fat by the sight of wickedness? Look to My Spirit for all understanding and you will not err. Be mindful of me in all your ways.
Because, in these days, Satan will try to fool even the very elect if he can, I pray that we all put on the mind of Christ and learn to judge truth by the Spirit rather than by physical or logical laws.
Love and Peace,
Tara

A House Divided
On my way to work today:
I was driving and I saw a sticker that said "United We Stand" with an American flag in the background. Immediately in my spirit I heard "Divided we stand." I then heard:
A house divided cannot stand.
Oh nation, if you would have repented of your evil and turned unto Me, I would have repented of the evil that is to come against you. If you would have loved truth more than your foolishness and cast down your idols, I would have kept you and protected you in the days to come. But you have turned your face far from Me. You allow all that I hate and teach your children to err. I have sent My servants, My prophets to warn of the judgment that is to come, but you would hear Me not. I will no longer make room for you to repent. I will wait for you no longer. Strong delusion will be sent to you and all of the judgment that I have spoken against you will quickly come to pass.
But I speak to you who have heard the call to separation unto Me, but have tarried: Wait no longer. Choose this day to live your life holy and separate unto Me. I tell you, come and draw close while there is yet time, for the time has come when every vision will quickly come to pass. Trust not in the arm of man or in your own understanding for only those who humble themselves before Me and do My will can stand. Only those who walk in righteousness as Job, Noah and Daniel will be delivered from the noise of battle. Come and do not delay for the day is short and night draws near.
Matthew 21:28-24
28But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. 33Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Vision 10/9/02 Ring and Key
In the vision: I was looking at a gold ring on my left hand, I admired the beauty of it and what it represented. I turned my hand over to look at the other side and there was a key on the ring that I had not seen before, that I was not aware of. The ring and key were seamless, made as one.
The Understanding: The ring was the seal or proof of the wedding/union/oneness between God and myself. The evidence or proof of our consummated vows. It was the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The surprising part was the key. It is the "Key of Truth". Truth is the key that unlocks doors. Truth sets captives free. Truth will break every yoke that people labor under. Truth by faith, frees people to receive the "Promise of the Father", the "Earnest of the Spirit". When one receives the ring the key comes with it, it's part of the ring with no way to separate. With the Holy Spirit comes the key to be free from doubt because the Holy Spirit bears witness of truth, if we believe. Truth sets captives free. This is accomplished by the Holy Spirit empowering us to be witnesses in Spirit and in truth. People can tell your words are more than casual conversation, because the Holy Spirit is in your words, out of your belly flows "Living Water".
By the Holy Spirit who bears witness of truth, we will know who false prophets and apostles are. Have nothing to do with them. They handle the "Word of Truth" deceitfully. Yes, that means you will have to judge. The Holy Spirit also reveals who is a brother or sister because of a love that wells up inside, it is recognizable as fruit of the Spirit, not just nice people.
Being aware of and using the "Key of Truth" or acquiring understanding equates to faith in being lead in the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, into "all truth".

The Understanding: The ring was the seal or proof of the wedding/union/oneness between God and myself. The evidence or proof of our consummated vows. It was the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The surprising part was the key. It is the "Key of Truth". Truth is the key that unlocks doors. Truth sets captives free. Truth will break every yoke that people labor under. Truth by faith, frees people to receive the "Promise of the Father", the "Earnest of the Spirit". When one receives the ring the key comes with it, it's part of the ring with no way to separate. With the Holy Spirit comes the key to be free from doubt because the Holy Spirit bears witness of truth, if we believe. Truth sets captives free. This is accomplished by the Holy Spirit empowering us to be witnesses in Spirit and in truth. People can tell your words are more than casual conversation, because the Holy Spirit is in your words, out of your belly flows "Living Water".

Word 7/7/02 You Say
You say with your mouth you want to know Me and walk in My ways, but you heed not the words of My prophets. You say you want to do My will, but you return to doing your own will. You say God will bless it (doing your will). You say God works this way or that, but you do not know My Spirit that leads into all truth. Do you think that your "will" shall save you? Do you think reading more books or listening to more tapes (CDs) will lead you to Me? My arms are open, listen to My voice, I will lead you. Many regard not the still small voice that corrects. Many esteem not the blessing of the Holy Spirit that speaks of Me and leads to all truth. You have chosen your path, though My heart is heavy, you will reap that which you desire.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Note: This is the message to those who have not entered by faith into the Holy Spirit, in fact, with proof/evidence.
Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Can it get any more simple? Yet, who will believe our report?

Word 9/16/01 Discern
Discern, discern, discern that which can be changed and those things that are set. Now is a time, not tomorrow, now is a time to repent. Now is the time to seek the face of (our) God. This is a time of sorrows.
Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Joel 1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Note: The covenant of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2, Luke 5), the promise of the Father, will be broken. He who has, in truth, will be given more. He who has not sought more, what he has will be taken away. God himself will send strong delusion to separate the unworthy and unbelieving. Seek the Truth with your whole heart.

Trust in the Lord
The following scriptures blessed me. God is encouraging us to trust Him through it all. Who then shall we fear if God is for us? I pray that we let faith rise up within us, that we will know that God goes before us always. I pray that all fear be removed from Gods people, that we will walk in the fullness of His spirit, and know that we are secure in Him.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shall seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” (Isaiah 41: 10-13)
“But whoso hearkened unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” (Proverbs 1:33)
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are able not to kill the soul…” (Matthew 10:28)
“Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep they foot from being taken.” (Proverbs 3:25-26)
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.” (Proverbs 3:24)
“ For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;” (1 Peter 3:12-14)
“In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.” (Isaiah 54:14)
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15)
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” (Isaiah 43:2)
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.” ( Psalms 27:1,3)
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us form the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:37-39)

The other morning before I woke up I heard in my sleep, "Be instantly in season, so that your words are seasoned with salt". God is calling us to walk in the Spirit always, so we know how to be towards each other, to edify the body and help those who are hungry for truth.

Word 6/18/08
Who shall smite (strike) My flock that they (the flock) would scatter? Receive the former Reign (of God in the earth). Receive the shield of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The meek (those who humble themselves to the truth) will inherit the earth. I go before you. I shall level the mountains and fill the valleys. Where your foot shall tread, I am there. Where you lay your head, I am there. I put My Spirit of Truth and Righteousness upon you, wear the mantle of the “Former and Latter” (authority/power).
Comment: The "Tribulation" period, the time of the "Former and Latter" rain, will be unlike any other time before or will be again. Only those who are "worthy" will be delivered. You become worthy by having faith in the truth equating to oil in the lamp, having ears to hear, being full of the Holy Spirit in truth. Those who trust in their own understanding could never receive a word like this for it is not clearly written in the Bible. But the Holy Spirit takes from Jesus and shows us things to come. Then, who can understand walking in their own righteousness?

Before Honor
On my way to work:
I asked the Lord: What would you have us to do now and in these times?
The Lord answered: Give food and drink to all that I put before you, holding nothing back. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without redeeming the times that they may learn to hear My instruction and be obedient to the leading of My Spirit
Stir up the gifts that are within you that you may walk in the fullness of who I have called you to be. Put on humility that in all things I may be lifted up.
Proverbs 15:33 - The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
With love in Him,

Will Not Return Void
From yesterday (6/18/08) during prayer:
My word will not return void. It will accomplish all that it was sent forth to do.
The Lord showed me a vision of the flag of England on the side of a bus. When I asked the Lord about it, He said "I have shown you this. Seek Me for understanding." The Lord also said later "I left them long ago because they chose to serve Me not."
We typically do not share visions or dreams without having the complete understanding, but I felt stirred to share this so that others may be stirred to seek God for the understanding. We are so close to judgment coming that I would not want to hold back if it would stir others to seek God for their protection.

Coming Judgment (2/6/05)
From 2005:
The Lord said "Come with Me" and as I grabbed on to His right hand, we began to walk up the side of a rocky mountain. Immediately we were on top of a volcano (somewhere in the Pacific near/in Hawaii). The Lord pointed inside and said "Look." As I looked and saw lava bubbling within, the Lord said "The whole earth is groaning for redemption." Then I looked out and I saw waves of the Atlantic become very aggressive and (there was) no specific current. I then saw earthquakes in the western side of the United States, specifically running along the outskirts of Washington, California and New Mexico. I also saw (earthquakes) running from Chicago south/southeast toward the western parts of Florida. From here, I heard "Asia" and I looked over and saw areas such as India being shaken violently. The Lord said "I will tear down the high places." After all of these things, the Lord pointed to a specific spot on the map (I understood this to be a place that the Lord would have some of us go to be protected in the days to come, others had confirmation of this place as well).

Enter In and Be Encouraged
Word 6/18/2008:
Enter in My people. Receive the gifts that I have prepared for you. Receive them by faith for I have much to give you. Enter into My kingdom where you are seated in heavenly places. Enter in. Partake of My Spirit. Taste and see that I, the Lord, am good. I am your friend. I walk with you in the darkest of hours when your faith is tried beyond measure. I am with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. Do not back down. Do not relent. Finish the race that you have begun, running with patience and waiting on your calling, believing that I am God and My promises are yea and amen.
My people are a strong people. I have set them apart. I have called them by name. They are my inheritance, My most beloved. I have called them friends. I have spoken to them and they have heard My words. Where others have turned their faces away from Me, they have chosen to seek My face. I will sing a song to My people. I will ease their pain and bind their wounds, for I love them and I will keep no good thing from them.
My heart is towards you My people. You can do no wrong that I will not forgive. Be comforted. Be confident. My love for you covers a multitude of sins.
Sing a song to the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise Him for He is good. He is the deliverer of His people, the mighty arm of Jacob and the faithful God of Moses. Remember who He is all you saints and forget not His mighty works. Declare them among men and honor the Lord with the praise of your lips. Be not silent. Rise up and praise Him, for He alone is God, and our strong tower. He alone is our refuge.
Truly as this time of grace comes to a close and we enter into the darkest period in earth's history, we still have access to the loving, longsuffering, God who was and is and is to come, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God whose love for us compelled Him to sacrifice His only son, so that we might be restored to fellowship with Him. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and I am blessed and comforted to know that even though destruction comes, He is Emmanuel, God with us. Bless His Holy Name, for even now, He holds out His hand and His Spirit, offering them to whosoever will.
Love, Peace and Joy,
Tara

Word 1/27/03 The Innocent
The innocence of the innocent has come to naught (nothing). No longer will well meaning words be acceptable. If not of the Spirit, you will be held accountable. Every vain word you speak will be accounted for.
I will separate the tares from the wheat.
Note: False prophecies are generally of the Jezebel spirit. It is done in pride. God has given time to repent.

Word 2/27/00 Did I Not Say
Did I not say be filled with My Spirit. You say we are! But I say, what spirit are you filled with? Does My Spirit war within you? Does My Spirit bring anger or resentment? I say/ask what does the Comforter war with within you? I said that you would be baptised with the Holy Ghost. You say it is not for everyone. I say show Me in My word that the Baptism is not for everyone. How can you reject or treat so lightly that which My death provided. I say repent. Do not teach for doctrine that which I have not set in place, it (the Baptism of the Holy Spirit) is the Anointing that breaks every yoke. Search My word, see if it isn't so.
Note: Much of what I hear is in anger. This is one of them. In the void of truth, men will make every excuse, take every advantage to make themselves seem holy, to deceive and take captives. Witchcraft. Trust no man with your salvation.

Dream 2/19/2000 America
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Why would anyone think it strange that God performs His word? That is, unless you don't believe. How could you tell if it is true? That is, unless you have ears to hear.
This is a verbal summation of three visual dreams over two nights. On the morning of the first night, I knew that I had a dream and that it was vivid, but I could not recall it. The second night I continued the dream from the night before, I awoke during the night remembering all. I was amazed at the great details. Though stirred, I eventually went back to sleep, only to have a third and final portion. When I awoke, I recalled all three as one.
First dream.
It’s late in the day, some time in mid to late summer. I am going home from work. It’s a beautiful sunny day and I am riding a bicycle. My route is a river/lake side route. There is a grass strip 20’ wide or so between the road and the water with no houses visible down the road. On my right (or east as I am heading south) is a beautiful old (early 1900’s era) excursion boat moored along the shore (it looked something like the old Detroit River Boblo boats, though somewhat different). I was not thinking about it, as though it was common (my thoughts were of home, after work).
As I pass about 2/3rd’s of the length of the boat (which is maybe 250’ long) suddenly, with no previous indication, the forward second and third deck level collapsed onto the main deck. The ship is north to south, with the bow to the south. My first impression was, what are the chances of going by when this happens? I am amazed at the thought of what happened when. I continue to go home. This is the end of the first night dream.
Second dream.
Some time passed and I am going home on the same road again, same time of day. I have gotten over my amazement of the coincidence of the first destruction. It’s about the same time of day, though the weather seems a bit dreary this day. My thoughts are about the ship and how beautiful it must have been in “its day”. I consider, what a joy it must have been for all those who had ridden on such a beautiful vessel. Now, it’s just sitting, decaying. I pondered if it were possible for someone to restore this once beautiful, proud vessel to its’ former glory. The thought occurred that it must have been much more rotten than the visible beauty allowed me to see. I stop in about the same place I was when the first destruction happened, my thought is to view the damage (from shore).
Suddenly the entire superstructure of the ship collapsed. The upper two decks and wheel house are now just a pile of rotted, broken lumber. The main deck remains intact supporting all the wreckage piled upon it. The ship is still floating. My thought is, it didn’t really look that bad. I wake up thinking, how strange. It’s the middle of the night. I go back to sleep.
Third dream.
I am heading home, same road, same time of day, I again pass by the ship. The weather is dark and stormy this time. As I look to the lake, the waves seem to be about 3’ and white capped. The wind seems strong, out of the east. (For some reason the time lapse seems to be longer than the first to second viewing of the ship.) As I pass by my view changes, from the outside road view to inside view of the hull bottom. I can see the frames of the ship and planks of the bottom. The frames are breaking and the bottom of the ship is opening up along the bottom planks, bow to stern. I can see the water through the splits in the planks. I now have understanding that the ship is breaking up, soon to sink. My view changes again, now I am looking at the core of the frames. The frames are hollow with rot, no strength remains. Even though the exterior of the frames and planks were intact, the rot from the inside could no longer support the vessel. The dream ends.
After the dream and understanding.
As I awake I realize that this was the third dream. I am aware of being exceptionally clear minded, every detail of the dreams vivid in my memory. I am also aware of a peace that is beyond normal. This series of dreams was very unusual for me. I considered and prayed about this dream for a few days thinking that it was from God. I asked God to give me understanding. On the third day of prayerful meditation the name “America” came into my spirit. Not satisfied, I continued to press in. I had decided not to share this until I had understanding.
About a month and a half later a sister in the Lord gave a word about being faithful as a watchman. I knew in my heart the Lord required that I share this dream. The date then was March 29, 2000. The follow are the words I wrote and shared at that time.
I believe that America is headed for judgment. I believe that this year will not pass before a visible portion of our country will collapse. Perhaps a 10, 20 up to 30 percent adjustment. Since it was the upper two decks and forward portion of the ship, I believe that we are headed for a leading portion or forward portion, (stock market, technology, maybe auto and fuel) downswing. Many will be effected, but those whose minds are stayed on the Lord will have peace. The exterior of everything looked okay (fine), but the strength is gone. Many will be totally amazed that they where right there when it happens. Though a portion of the upper two decks fall, the lower or third deck (or main deck) will catch it. I think the lower deck is the government.
I believe that the next year (second dream) our country will fall into a full economic depression. None of our economic system will be untouched. Every aspect of our lives will be drastically changed. This is the collapse of the entire superstructure. Everything that was visible, that held people will fall. The third deck (Main deck) will catch it all (6/18/08 FEMA- Hurricane Katrina). With the falling superstructure, our government, such as it is, will be our support. This means that everything will be government controlled or dependant.
The next event will be a complete and final change. Though the ship is rotten, a storm out of the east will be the factor that causes the government to break up and sink. Then will all the rottenness be apparent.
Other understandings included the dark days are also real storms or natural disasters. When the frames break our structure or laws will be broken, a lawless time. The water is the people of the world into which we sink. The storm is from the east, we never should have pushed Israel toward a man made peace, God have mercy on us. The frame work has been eaten by the sin and lust of men in power and by us who did nothing about it, God forgive us.
Today, in retrospect, I thank God for His faithfulness. I am comforted in that He showed me things to come. I don’t feel that my understanding was off to much, more economic than I understood and a little later. The 9/11/01 attack seemed to prompt the first economic breakdown. I believe that we are in the clutch of the second and loosing ground every day, that longer time period till the third dream. People look more and more for government intervention in everything we think say and do. Our reliance on man increases and faith in God decreases. At what point will our faith in God diminish as not to know or believe how He views what we see? Are now feeling the storm from the east? It surely looks dark and gloomy from my view. Time is short to be sure. Make your calling and election sure, be full of the Holy Spirit, the lamp oil that will light the way of our Lords’ return?

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Why would anyone think it strange that God performs His word? That is, unless you don't believe. How could you tell if it is true? That is, unless you have ears to hear.
This is a verbal summation of three visual dreams over two nights. On the morning of the first night, I knew that I had a dream and that it was vivid, but I could not recall it. The second night I continued the dream from the night before, I awoke during the night remembering all. I was amazed at the great details. Though stirred, I eventually went back to sleep, only to have a third and final portion. When I awoke, I recalled all three as one.
First dream.
It’s late in the day, some time in mid to late summer. I am going home from work. It’s a beautiful sunny day and I am riding a bicycle. My route is a river/lake side route. There is a grass strip 20’ wide or so between the road and the water with no houses visible down the road. On my right (or east as I am heading south) is a beautiful old (early 1900’s era) excursion boat moored along the shore (it looked something like the old Detroit River Boblo boats, though somewhat different). I was not thinking about it, as though it was common (my thoughts were of home, after work).
As I pass about 2/3rd’s of the length of the boat (which is maybe 250’ long) suddenly, with no previous indication, the forward second and third deck level collapsed onto the main deck. The ship is north to south, with the bow to the south. My first impression was, what are the chances of going by when this happens? I am amazed at the thought of what happened when. I continue to go home. This is the end of the first night dream.
Second dream.
Some time passed and I am going home on the same road again, same time of day. I have gotten over my amazement of the coincidence of the first destruction. It’s about the same time of day, though the weather seems a bit dreary this day. My thoughts are about the ship and how beautiful it must have been in “its day”. I consider, what a joy it must have been for all those who had ridden on such a beautiful vessel. Now, it’s just sitting, decaying. I pondered if it were possible for someone to restore this once beautiful, proud vessel to its’ former glory. The thought occurred that it must have been much more rotten than the visible beauty allowed me to see. I stop in about the same place I was when the first destruction happened, my thought is to view the damage (from shore).
Suddenly the entire superstructure of the ship collapsed. The upper two decks and wheel house are now just a pile of rotted, broken lumber. The main deck remains intact supporting all the wreckage piled upon it. The ship is still floating. My thought is, it didn’t really look that bad. I wake up thinking, how strange. It’s the middle of the night. I go back to sleep.
Third dream.
I am heading home, same road, same time of day, I again pass by the ship. The weather is dark and stormy this time. As I look to the lake, the waves seem to be about 3’ and white capped. The wind seems strong, out of the east. (For some reason the time lapse seems to be longer than the first to second viewing of the ship.) As I pass by my view changes, from the outside road view to inside view of the hull bottom. I can see the frames of the ship and planks of the bottom. The frames are breaking and the bottom of the ship is opening up along the bottom planks, bow to stern. I can see the water through the splits in the planks. I now have understanding that the ship is breaking up, soon to sink. My view changes again, now I am looking at the core of the frames. The frames are hollow with rot, no strength remains. Even though the exterior of the frames and planks were intact, the rot from the inside could no longer support the vessel. The dream ends.
After the dream and understanding.
As I awake I realize that this was the third dream. I am aware of being exceptionally clear minded, every detail of the dreams vivid in my memory. I am also aware of a peace that is beyond normal. This series of dreams was very unusual for me. I considered and prayed about this dream for a few days thinking that it was from God. I asked God to give me understanding. On the third day of prayerful meditation the name “America” came into my spirit. Not satisfied, I continued to press in. I had decided not to share this until I had understanding.
About a month and a half later a sister in the Lord gave a word about being faithful as a watchman. I knew in my heart the Lord required that I share this dream. The date then was March 29, 2000. The follow are the words I wrote and shared at that time.
I believe that America is headed for judgment. I believe that this year will not pass before a visible portion of our country will collapse. Perhaps a 10, 20 up to 30 percent adjustment. Since it was the upper two decks and forward portion of the ship, I believe that we are headed for a leading portion or forward portion, (stock market, technology, maybe auto and fuel) downswing. Many will be effected, but those whose minds are stayed on the Lord will have peace. The exterior of everything looked okay (fine), but the strength is gone. Many will be totally amazed that they where right there when it happens. Though a portion of the upper two decks fall, the lower or third deck (or main deck) will catch it. I think the lower deck is the government.
I believe that the next year (second dream) our country will fall into a full economic depression. None of our economic system will be untouched. Every aspect of our lives will be drastically changed. This is the collapse of the entire superstructure. Everything that was visible, that held people will fall. The third deck (Main deck) will catch it all (6/18/08 FEMA- Hurricane Katrina). With the falling superstructure, our government, such as it is, will be our support. This means that everything will be government controlled or dependant.
The next event will be a complete and final change. Though the ship is rotten, a storm out of the east will be the factor that causes the government to break up and sink. Then will all the rottenness be apparent.
Other understandings included the dark days are also real storms or natural disasters. When the frames break our structure or laws will be broken, a lawless time. The water is the people of the world into which we sink. The storm is from the east, we never should have pushed Israel toward a man made peace, God have mercy on us. The frame work has been eaten by the sin and lust of men in power and by us who did nothing about it, God forgive us.
Today, in retrospect, I thank God for His faithfulness. I am comforted in that He showed me things to come. I don’t feel that my understanding was off to much, more economic than I understood and a little later. The 9/11/01 attack seemed to prompt the first economic breakdown.

Nation Is Not Its Own (10/08/04)
This is a vision and understanding that the Lord gave me back in 2004. He has stirred me to share it:
As I was reading a prophecy from the Hand of Help website ( I believe called "The Final Warning"), I saw a vision of the American flag hanging on a wall behind a large wooden desk. After I arrived at work and when it was time for lunch, I fasted and prayed as the Lord told me to, and I received more of the vision and the understanding. I saw a Chinese-looking man sitting at the desk wearing solid green fatigues and he was looking at the screen prepared to say something to the public (The Lord gave me understanding that the Chinese man represented a communist mindset, not an actual soldier). I then heard the Lord say, "This nation is not its own." After this, I was brought up to see the east side of the United States (I was looking from the middle of the country) and I saw submarines and large ships bombing and shooting the U.S. (specifically Florida and Washington D.C.) from the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. The Lord also gave me Ezekiel 31-32 to confirm.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Seven Attacks (3/24/04)
Below is a vision and the understanding of the vision that the Lord gave me back in 2004. He has stirred me to post it:
I saw a police officer, in a blue state police uniform, watching people as they walked down a city street. The officer pulled out his gun and began to shoot seven times, seven different people. Later as I was praying, the Lord gave me the understanding: The seven shots were seven attacks on the United States. The attacks will happen simultaneously, or very close together, in seven different cities. I understood six of the seven cities to be: Sacramento, Las Vegas, New York, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Detroit. Later when I told Dave, he prayed about the seventh city and he heard Orlando. The attacks will come from within the United States (understanding of the man in uniform). Having seen the make and model of the gun, I understood that the United States military will do something that may cause the enemy to attack shortly after.
I believe the Lord is stirring all who will hear Him regarding these things because the time draws near when all that He has shown us will come to pass. We must be without spot, without wrinkle, praying that He finds us worthy to escape the wrath that is to come. Seek meekness, seek righteousness that we may be hid in the day of trouble.

Talk With Us
I know that as of late, God has been stirring many of us at the ESC to not hold back what He gives us. He has even been stirring some of us to share visions, dreams, and prophecies that He has given us in the past in order to further warn (and confirm) His people of all that will soon come to pass. As many of you know already, we try to be faithful in posting all that God tells us to speak that we may sharpen one another and that we may give freely all that the Lord has freely given to us (we know the word does not come to us, or through us only, but that this is what the Lord requires of us).
Because this green season will soon come to an end and all that the Lord has shown His people will shortly come to pass, we need to make sure that we are being faithful to all that the Lord has asked us to do. Knowing that it is written that we will gather ourselves together even the more as we see the end days approaching, our prayer is that this place would serve as a place to hear and share what the Spirit is speaking for all who desire to walk humbly with their God.
So with this in mind, I want to encourage all who read, all who God has brought to this place, to comment, email, ask questions....talk with us. We desire and pray for Christ to be fully formed in others (you) as much as we pray that He would be fully formed in those who are with us. We know that the day is short and night draws near, and we would love to see all who are here be led into all truth by His Spirit.

Believe All That I Speak To You
From yesterday (6/15/08) while at church for all who have ears to hear:
I have known you from the beginning. Before the foundation of the earth was laid, I knew you and called you My own. I have put a heart within you that seeks after My own and have put a humble and contrite spirit within you. Will I not remember you in these times, when I make up My jewels? I tell you, you are who I have chosen, who I love, and all that I have is yours. Let no man take from you what I the Lord have given you for My word is forever and ever.
You have asked Me what My will for you is in these times. I tell you, feed My sheep. Give them living waters and strong meat that they may stand and live in the days to come. All that I give you, freely give it to all that I put before you. Know that I the Lord have not lost one for I knew the end from the beginning. Will you allow Me to show you the end of your salvation? It is My will for you to know all that I would have you to do that nothing may come upon you unaware. Come higher, My son, letting go of all of your own understanding and expectations. As it is written, eye has not seen nor ear heard of the glory that God has prepared for you, but I tell you by My Spirit you can know all things. Do not wait, do not hold back for I have bid you My son.
I desire to pour out abundantly upon you who seek My face, but you must believe all that I speak to you, all that is given by My Spirit. You must not think upon your present circumstances, but set your eyes on Me and the things of above that you would be spiritually minded always. My Spirit is speaking and ministering to all who will hear Me. Who will be a faithful servant, saying "Here I am Lord. Do with Me what you will?"

Set Apart
From church on 6/15/08:
Keep yourselves set apart, and I will keep you. The earth cries out, and the Spirit and the bride say come. And the world will see sorrow and suffering as never before, but destruction with not come near you My people. If you hold fast to truth and My promises. I would that none should perish, but it will not be so. No, because their hearts are hardened and they love their lives unto death. They will not hear the words of My prophets, and they mock the Spirit of Truth (Me), but I will not be mocked. They have kindled the wrath of the Lord and I will not repent. There is still a work to be done. Turn your eyes towards Me, pursue Me with all that you are. And I will be faithful and you will see My glory revealed. Continue with what is before you, but do not stay (be) the same. Walk in righteousness and repent of dead works. I will refresh, replenish you every day that you separate yourselves before Me, that is what is required in these days. Do not be weary. Let Me be your strength, the arm of man will fail. Let us walk together as one and we will be sound (strong, founded, untouchable). I love you and I would keep no good thing from you. Come as you are, you are acceptable to Me.
Grace and peace,
Rachel

Draw Near
Draw near to Me. Fill your lamps with oil, so when the day of destruction falls upon the earth you will be prepared. Drink of the pure waters, for you have been called to a higher calling. Do not fear, jump into the waters, for I have you in My hand. Let go, and do not hold back. Fall into your calling.
Despise the garment spotted by the flesh. Tear down anything that exalts itself above Me. Think on good, pure, true, and holy things. Think on Me and I will establish your ways. Trust in Me.
Grace and Peace Through Jesus

The Love of Truth
2 Thessalonians 2:11…They received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved! Unbeliever
Revelation 2:4 Never the less I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Fallen & Unbeliever
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Knowing of truth is not difficult, just read the bible. Believing and understanding or “knowing truth” can be difficult if we try by our self, or think that what we see in churches, is acceptable to God. The scale of truth is in the hand of God, not man, though we can “know” it. Because our fore fathers did or didn’t do something, doesn’t mean it was good, righteous and holy in God’s eye, or in God’s will, it’s simply history. God, our merciful Father, is long suffering, giving us plenty of time to repent of wrong doing, His desire is that all would be saved. If we wait for judgment to find out God’s will, most likely we will be on the outside looking in. After all, narrow is the way and few find it. In order to “make our calling and election sure” we must know the “TRUTH”. The truth makes you free. Free to make right choices. Free to worship God in His Spirit, in truth, or rather, reality, who God truly is. Free to judge all things according to truth, the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit.
When you were a child did you ever have a fireman come to your school, or go the fire station? Did you ever hear the explanation of what it takes to make “fire”? It takes three components, oxygen, combustible material/fuel and heat. To be a victorious Christian we must have the three components to burn as a lamp; the way, the truth and the life. First,Jesus is the way, he paid the price for our sin. Accepting Him is not the end, just the beginning. Truly accepting Him causes us to want to know what is true, what are our limits and bounds, the rod and the staff. Second,Truth, that’s a biggy. You cannot get to the, Third, Life in the Holy Spirit, without it. What you believe is truth, to yourself. Real truth, is all truth, what is written in the Bible, what the Holy Spirit leads us into, every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Truth is how things actually are by God’s standards. Without all three componants, way, truth and life, you cannot be found worthy. Either you receive the love of truth and keep it, didn't receive it or you have left your first love. Judge yourself, in truth!
Truth is the measurement that all men are and will be held to. As in this Matthew 13 scripture: “23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day”. That understanding is enhanced by this Matthew 10 verse: “14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city”. That is truth built line upon line in a simple obvious form. Capernaum will have greater damnation than Sodom and Gomorrah because of unbelief in greater works done there and not receiving Jesus/God’s ministers or their words.
In that same vein, people that know of Jesus and refuse to look into or hold onto truth will find themselves judged to this level. Hebrews 2:2 “For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?” This is enhanced by this verse in James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves”. These verses are the essence of the base line for truth in the “Body of Christ”. It is how God measures truth, it’s what we as believers must accept to be in Spirit and in truth, also to love truth. If line will not go upon line it was stacked by a man, not God, the house/church is built in vain and will not stand.
The question arises who will be counted a Pharisees. If they deny that sons and daughters will prophecy today will they be called stiff necked by God? Acts 7:51”Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:”. Because in fact, in truth it is written; Isaiah 28:11 “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear”. Do some Christians resist the Holy Spirit? Do some Christians refuse to hear? Would that make this true? Matthew 10:36 “And a man's foes shall be they of his own household”. Further, could they be the very ones written of here in Revelation 17:6”And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:”? Ultimately this is true, Matthew 15:13 “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch”. And again in Matthew 23:14 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation”. This is summed up again in Luke 12:46 “The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more”.
A simple word search of the word “Truth” reveals many aspects and understandings of the importance that God places on “Truth”. It reveals why judgment must come. Truth is basic building block of the "Church". Our goal is not to snuff out a smoldering wick or break a bruised reed, but to set captives free. Free to know God in truth. Free to worship in Spirit and in TRUTH.
Isaiah 59:13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Psalm 96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
Daniel 8:11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 12And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
John 17:17 (Jesus speaking) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Malachi 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 4: 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Isaiah 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Isaiah 61:8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Psalm 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Psalm 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. 16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. (Side Note: The Lord gave Austin this Psalm the same day He had me start this. It is a description of how God will save and deliver His people that are found worthy to escape, in TRUTH!)

Revelation 2:4 Never the less I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Fallen & Unbeliever
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Knowing of truth is not difficult, just read the bible. Believing and understanding or “knowing truth” can be difficult if we try by our self, or think that what we see in churches, is acceptable to God. The scale of truth is in the hand of God, not man, though we can “know” it. Because our fore fathers did or didn’t do something, doesn’t mean it was good, righteous and holy in God’s eye, or in God’s will, it’s simply history. God, our merciful Father, is long suffering, giving us plenty of time to repent of wrong doing, His desire is that all would be saved. If we wait for judgment to find out God’s will, most likely we will be on the outside looking in. After all, narrow is the way and few find it. In order to “make our calling and election sure” we must know the “TRUTH”. The truth makes you free. Free to make right choices. Free to worship God in His Spirit, in truth, or rather, reality, who God truly is. Free to judge all things according to truth, the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit.
When you were a child did you ever have a fireman come to your school, or go the fire station? Did you ever hear the explanation of what it takes to make “fire”? It takes three components, oxygen, combustible material/fuel and heat. To be a victorious Christian we must have the three components to burn as a lamp; the way, the truth and the life. First,Jesus is the way, he paid the price for our sin. Accepting Him is not the end, just the beginning. Truly accepting Him causes us to want to know what is true, what are our limits and bounds, the rod and the staff. Second,Truth, that’s a biggy. You cannot get to the, Third, Life in the Holy Spirit, without it. What you believe is truth, to yourself. Real truth, is all truth, what is written in the Bible, what the Holy Spirit leads us into, every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Truth is how things actually are by God’s standards. Without all three componants, way, truth and life, you cannot be found worthy. Either you receive the love of truth and keep it, didn't receive it or you have left your first love. Judge yourself, in truth!
Truth is the measurement that all men are and will be held to. As in this Matthew 13 scripture: “23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day”. That understanding is enhanced by this Matthew 10 verse: “14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city”. That is truth built line upon line in a simple obvious form. Capernaum will have greater damnation than Sodom and Gomorrah because of unbelief in greater works done there and not receiving Jesus/God’s ministers or their words.
In that same vein, people that know of Jesus and refuse to look into or hold onto truth will find themselves judged to this level. Hebrews 2:2 “For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?” This is enhanced by this verse in James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves”. These verses are the essence of the base line for truth in the “Body of Christ”. It is how God measures truth, it’s what we as believers must accept to be in Spirit and in truth, also to love truth. If line will not go upon line it was stacked by a man, not God, the house/church is built in vain and will not stand.
The question arises who will be counted a Pharisees. If they deny that sons and daughters will prophecy today will they be called stiff necked by God? Acts 7:51”Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:”. Because in fact, in truth it is written; Isaiah 28:11 “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear”. Do some Christians resist the Holy Spirit? Do some Christians refuse to hear? Would that make this true? Matthew 10:36 “And a man's foes shall be they of his own household”. Further, could they be the very ones written of here in Revelation 17:6”And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:”? Ultimately this is true, Matthew 15:13 “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch”. And again in Matthew 23:14 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation”. This is summed up again in Luke 12:46 “The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more”.
A simple word search of the word “Truth” reveals many aspects and understandings of the importance that God places on “Truth”. It reveals why judgment must come. Truth is basic building block of the "Church". Our goal is not to snuff out a smoldering wick or break a bruised reed, but to set captives free. Free to know God in truth. Free to worship in Spirit and in TRUTH.
Isaiah 59:13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Psalm 96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
Daniel 8:11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 12And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
John 17:17 (Jesus speaking) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Malachi 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 4: 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Isaiah 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Isaiah 61:8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Psalm 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Psalm 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. 16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Isaiah 54:17- No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall raise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me saith the Lord.

Line upon Line
This is what the Lord has spoken to me the past week or so. I'll write in the order I received it because I don't really know the right dates.
Line upon line, precept upon precept. My way, the only way. Who shall enter in? Who has entered in at the strait gate? Thieves and robbers, wolves among my people. I am the way and I am the truth. There is no other way to the Father except through me. Why do men say in their hearts that I am divided? Foolish, without understanding, those who's roots are not deep, rooted up at the slightest wind. My fury, that which I have held in, I will pour out, I will not hold back. Hear oh you earth, know that this people has forgotten me and her judgment is sure. I will flood her land and all shall mourn, no more shall she sit in her pride. Wallowing in the mire, the dog returns to its vomit. So have my people done. They have forsaken me for that which does not profit. Life fore death, darkness for light. Repent and turn. Turn unto me. I make the way, I open the door. To them that have ears: Hear the sound of the trumpet, know the alarm of war. My watchmen, you who have been faithful, you have delivered your souls, their blood shall be upon their own head. Gather up the remnant, rest for them that seek my face. Twice purged, winnowing away. My people, come unto me. I alone have the keys to death and hell. Live in me. I will pour out and it shall be as the former days. Who will stand?
Word from church Wednesday: Destruction, destruction, destruction upon the land. Her sin has reached before me. How long shall I abide? The day of wrath is in my heart. Continually their sin is before me, it is abhorring unto me. I will not hold back. They have chosen their way, they have decided their path. Let it be heard, let it not be held back, the day I have held in my heart is at hand and it shall be destruction from the almighty. Let your hands be strong, let your hearts not be faint for I am your Lord, the God of heaven and of earth. I am the same, I do not change. Remember my words, that which I have spoken saying surly these are my people and I am their God. If they had known me they would know you. Look for them, the oppressed, those who yet hunger for truth. The door is near to be shut. Let them come in. Let them hear the words of my mouth and receive faith. Beauty for ashes, gladness for sorrow, praise fore the spirit of heaviness. The fields of the fatherless, the way of the widow. I am their God. I am their very present help in time of need. I shall judge a righteous judgment and no more shall they say "where is the God of judgment?" Because judgment is not executed speedily men have set within themselves to do all evil, but I raise my standard.
EZE 12:21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,EZE 12:22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?EZE 12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.EZE 12:24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.EZE 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.EZE 12:26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,EZE 12:27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.EZE 12:28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
The Lord showed me a vision the other night at church. I was standing besides some barns (old fashion, red) and I saw men gathering wheat into the barns. As I watched I saw a tornado form and start to come toward the barns. As they got closer I saw the tornado split into two more. making three. The Lord was standing next to me in the vision and I asked "What is it?". He said "These shall go forth into the land and they shall destroy." As it seemed the tornadoes where about to come over the barns they moved around them and continued on.
The Lord has been stirring allot lately to not hold back these words that he is speaking. Judgment is coming, it's a sure thing. The door is closing, its a sure thing. We all have the choice, to choose to repent and turn, or choose to believe the lie. Come out and be separate. Now is the time, now is still and accepted time before the Lord. The Lord gave me and understanding the other day,( I'll write it as a vision, I cant explain it any other way) I saw a small tree and the Lord said this is where your at, but there is much more for you. Then the scripture about the mustard seed came to mind and I didn't see the small tree any longer, but one that seemed to reach the sky. Wait upon the Lord. I know he is good and able to perform every word he has spoken. Let faith arise and let you fears( enemies) be scattered.
Your brother in the Lord,
Austin

The Lord has been stirring allot lately to not hold back these words that he is speaking. Judgment is coming, it's a sure thing. The door is closing, its a sure thing. We all have the choice, to choose to repent and turn, or choose to believe the lie. Come out and be separate. Now is the time, now is still and accepted time before the Lord. The Lord gave me and understanding the other day,( I'll write it as a vision, I cant explain it any other way) I saw a small tree and the Lord said this is where your at, but there is much more for you. Then the scripture about the mustard seed came to mind and I didn't see the small tree any longer, but one that seemed to reach the sky. Wait upon the Lord. I know he is good and able to perform every word he has spoken. Let faith arise and let you fears( enemies) be scattered.

A Mustard Seed
Yesterday (6/11/08) during prayer:
The Lord stirred me in the scripture that talks about having faith the size of a mustard seed. He spoke to me saying: Those who have faith the size of a mustard seed can say to the mountain be moved and cast into the bottom of the sea, but this is only the beginning of your faith. I tell you, I have given you so much more.
Have I kept any good thing from you? Have I held back concerning My promises to you? All that you have asked of Me, I have given, and more. For I knew what you needed before you even asked. I know your hear and do know that you long to see My people set free by My Spirit. I tell you, speak as I urge you to speak. I have put My words in you mouth therefore you need not think on what you should speak or do. Only believe and walk according to the leading of My Spirit. Only love Me with your whole being holding nothing back and I tell you all things will be possible to you. Faith comes by hearing, this is why I speak to you as often as you come before Me that faith may arise in you. Know that I have caused the gifts to be stirred up in you. I tell you, My glory will be revealed and with your eyes you will see Me.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Measure of Faith
Every man was given the measure of faith. God desires that all would be saved (John 3:16). To those who are “ever learning" and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth”, this is for you. The very Bible many claim to hold so dear, proclaims truth. Truth that is meant to set free. The deeds of the Nicolaitanes, taking control, have brought, oh so many, captive. If you do not, “Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins” you will be a “partaker her plagues”. You are, and always were responsible for your own salvation. If you do not love truth more than all else you are not worthy to escape the wrath to come. You loved your comfort in life more than you love God, you buried your “talent”, your measure of faith.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me (Jesus)…. 3….. I will come again (end of tribulation), and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you know (heaven), and the way you know. 5Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not whither you go; and how can we know the way? (This is after 3 years with Jesus, Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.) 6Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him. (John 15:23 He that hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.) 8Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffice (will be enough) us. 9Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, (insert your name here……….) Philip? (Luke 18:8..Never the less when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?) He that has seen me hath seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? 10Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works (John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Jeremiah 31:33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.). 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me (Matthew 7:21Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth., Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.), the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.). 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15If you love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, (He is not in you now, but when you are Baptised in the Holy Spirit with signs following them that believe.) 9 and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (Luke 24:49 … behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry/wait you in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Hebrews 11: 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.)
2 Corinthians 1:20….All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
Revelation 19:10…… I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Philippians 2:12…. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

While It Is Yet Day
This is what the Lord was speaking to me this morning:
Warn My people. Speak to them saying the time has come when My judgment will be poured out upon the nations. For all of their abominations, for all of their wickedness I will punish them. For they call good evil and evil good. Because they have mocked Me and My people saying "where is your God," I will send the sword. Because they say peace, peace, sudden destruction will come upon them. I will not hold back. It is set and will not tarry for I the Lord have spoken it.
I say to you My people, hold not back concerning all that I have spoken to you. I require it of you, even this day. Look for the leading of My Spirit in all things for you are not your own and it is My will that you should lay hands on the sick that they would recover. Encourage those who have a heart toward Me that faith may rise up within them that their enemies would be scattered. I have called you unto strength therefore believe Me and be instantly in season that I may add all things unto you. Be bold and stand for soon all that I have shown you will come to pass.
Draw close while it is yet day. For the darkness comes and will soon cover the earth. Who will here My voice and obey My commandments? Only those who have the love of the truth, those who do not love this life unto death. To you who know that there is more in Me but you doubt, I say let faith arise that you may speak to the mountain and command it to be cast into the bottom of the sea. To you who desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, I say cast down everything that exalts itself against Me and die to yourself that I may have My way in you. I desire to teach you and give you all that you need that you would have no lack. Who will allow Me to fill them to overflowing? Who will believe Me and My words that My name may be glorified? Come and draw close while I am near. I bid you, come. For if you ask for a fish I will not give you a stone. I am faithful.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Be Separate
Come out, be separate even more than the day before. Daily come before Me and daily receive. The times are short, the times when men’s hearts will fail them for fear. I tell you, stand strong in faith and keep your peace. Destruction is coming, will you be able to stand? If you keep your eyes on Me and your ways like Mine you will not fall. I speak to you daily, let your cup be filled and filled again for I am pouring out to those who seek My face and those who love truth. Humble yourself before Me and acknowledge Me in all of your ways. Hold fast to My promises seek Me, have no fear for what you shall eat or drink or what you shall wear, I am your provider and your protector. Trust in Me.
Psalm 23- The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 17:15- As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
God Bless
Grace and Peace,

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, only not the movie!)
Key to understanding: He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
The GOOD:
I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)
Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
I know thy works, and where thou dwells, and you hold fast my name, and hast not denied my faith
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
He that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
You hast a few names which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. He that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
The BAD:
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;
I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
I know thy works, and where thou dwells, even where Satan's seat is, where Satan dwells.
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
You also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
I have a few things against thee, because thou suffers (you allow) that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
I know your works, and that you have a name that you live, and are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon thee.
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved you.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that thou may be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint you eyes with eye salve, that thou may see.
The UGLY:
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except you repent.
The devil shall cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days:
I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
I will cast her (that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess) into a bed, and them that commits adultery with her into great tribulation. I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
I will spew you out of my mouth.
Notes:
Nicolaitanes:
1.)When the Lord was showing John what the seven churches were like, He commended the church at Ephesus because they hated the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which the Lord also detested. In Pergamos, the third church, these deeds had become accepted doctrine, which the Lord also hated. For whatever reason the Lord chose not to let history record the precise teachings of the Nicolaitanes. He does, however, want us to understand just what this bunch of hooligans is about and therefore He has given us one infallible piece of evidence.
It is said by some that Nicholas founded a movement of apostates who had pagan feasts and were most immoral in their behavior. They taught that in order to master sensuality one would have to know by experience the whole range of it first. Naturally this spawned the most bizarre and wanton orgies and other fleshly endeavors as a necessary step on the road to perfection.
The names are symbolic of the heresies they represent. When a name appears in the scriptures its meaning sheds light upon the spiritual reality behind the name. What was this thing God hated but man loved and would not stop doing? What are these Nicolaitanes? We’ll understand it when we know what the name means! The word comes from two Greek words: nikao, which means "to rule over or to conquer," and loas, which means "the laity or the people." Put these definitions together and you get a domineering ruling class within the body of Christ whose main agenda is to get the upper hand, conquer, subordinate, and subdue those who they consider "less gifted," "less knowledgeable," and "less qualified" than themselves!
2.) In the New Testament, the followers of “Saint Nicolas” were referred to as Nicolaitanes. These people—falsely calling themselves Christians—honored Nimrod during the apostle John’s time—much as people do today! On what day do most people honor “Saint Nicolas”? Many unknowingly honor Nimrod on December 25th! Christmas was originally celebrated and called the Saturnalia—the birthday of Nimrod or Saturn. The customs from this pagan holiday were then passed along and made to appear good and innocent. People do not know that Christmas honors “Nicolas”—Nimrod—the first dictator and despot! Professing Christians serve and honor Nimrod during Christmas—not Jesus Christ!
Balaam, who taught Balac
Numbers 22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed…… 16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: 17For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. ……Numbers 25:1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

1 Kings 16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 1 Kings 18: 4For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD,…. 19Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table…..1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time…….1 Kings 21: 1And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 7And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 8So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die….. 25But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up…….2 Kings 9:22 What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Key to understanding: He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
The GOOD:
I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)
Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
I know thy works, and where thou dwells, and you hold fast my name, and hast not denied my faith
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
He that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
You hast a few names which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. He that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
The BAD:
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;
I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
I know thy works, and where thou dwells, even where Satan's seat is, where Satan dwells.
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
You also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
I have a few things against thee, because thou suffers (you allow) that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
I know your works, and that you have a name that you live, and are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon thee.
I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved you.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that thou may be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint you eyes with eye salve, that thou may see.
The UGLY:
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except you repent.
The devil shall cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days:
I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
I will cast her (that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess) into a bed, and them that commits adultery with her into great tribulation. I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
I will spew you out of my mouth.
Notes:
Nicolaitanes:
1.)When the Lord was showing John what the seven churches were like, He commended the church at Ephesus because they hated the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which the Lord also detested. In Pergamos, the third church, these deeds had become accepted doctrine, which the Lord also hated. For whatever reason the Lord chose not to let history record the precise teachings of the Nicolaitanes. He does, however, want us to understand just what this bunch of hooligans is about and therefore He has given us one infallible piece of evidence.
It is said by some that Nicholas founded a movement of apostates who had pagan feasts and were most immoral in their behavior. They taught that in order to master sensuality one would have to know by experience the whole range of it first. Naturally this spawned the most bizarre and wanton orgies and other fleshly endeavors as a necessary step on the road to perfection.
The names are symbolic of the heresies they represent. When a name appears in the scriptures its meaning sheds light upon the spiritual reality behind the name. What was this thing God hated but man loved and would not stop doing? What are these Nicolaitanes? We’ll understand it when we know what the name means! The word comes from two Greek words: nikao, which means "to rule over or to conquer," and loas, which means "the laity or the people." Put these definitions together and you get a domineering ruling class within the body of Christ whose main agenda is to get the upper hand, conquer, subordinate, and subdue those who they consider "less gifted," "less knowledgeable," and "less qualified" than themselves!
2.) In the New Testament, the followers of “Saint Nicolas” were referred to as Nicolaitanes. These people—falsely calling themselves Christians—honored Nimrod during the apostle John’s time—much as people do today! On what day do most people honor “Saint Nicolas”? Many unknowingly honor Nimrod on December 25th! Christmas was originally celebrated and called the Saturnalia—the birthday of Nimrod or Saturn. The customs from this pagan holiday were then passed along and made to appear good and innocent. People do not know that Christmas honors “Nicolas”—Nimrod—the first dictator and despot! Professing Christians serve and honor Nimrod during Christmas—not Jesus Christ!
Balaam, who taught Balac
Numbers 22:1 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed…… 16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: 17For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. ……Numbers 25:1And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 5And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
Jezebel
1 Kings 16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 1 Kings 18: 4For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD,…. 19Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table…..1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time…….1 Kings 21: 1And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 7And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 8So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die….. 25But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up…….2 Kings 9:22 What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
