SHAKE OFF THE PAST

December 28, 2011

Most assuredly I say to you that whatever you have been through in the last few months has been orchestrated personally by Me to rescue you from further devastation from the enemy. Even though what you have already been through has not been pleasant, it has been used to prepare you for what is ahead. For if you haven't gone through the preparation, you would not be able to bear the impact of what is ahead. Your body, mind, and spirit could not contain the pressure that is coming. The impact of it would totally blow you away without having gone through any preparation for it. So I tell you today to thank Me for the trials and testings and even the tribulation for it has all been for your good!

This is the day when many have gone their own way without seeking My face, participating in the gathering of the saints, or even have they been exposed to My word in any way. Without the Vine, surely you will perish. You cannot escape what is ahead by choosing not to hear about it. For being in a strong body of believers you are being joined together with the power, strength, and love that you need. Also you are receiving the wisdom as how to walk boldly in the face of the evil one.

We must be bold and unwavering in our faith, no matter what the circumstances. If I am for you, who or what can come against you and destroy you, for all things work together for good for those who are called according to My plan and purpose. So I want you to wake up to the deception of the enemy saying that you can make it on your own. Die out to the offenses you have faced and shake them off, and let My love cover over the multitude of sin. Come close to Me, and open your heart, and let Me heal your woundedness.

Let out a victory shout that we reign victorious and that we will love not our lives unto death. We will march forward taking the land behind our shield of faith. We will no longer be hit by the fiery flames of the evil one caused to destroy our faith. We will stay covered with the armor of Light, and the glory of the Lord will blind the evil one. We will overcome because surely we are over comers, and the promises to us are "yes" and "Amen"!.

So rejoice, this is a new day. All things have passed away, and all things have become new. If you start this day with a repentant heart, washed with My blood, and ready to walk in my way, truth, and light!

END OF ALL TIMES

October 31, 2011

Remember when I told you that you must gird up your loins with the truth of My word, because without it you will surely perish. The remnant army is stirring up themselves to be a light in a world of darkness. All about them is deception, even in the camp of God's people, and this grieves their hearts because they know that if they are not fed the truth, they will surely perish. For in the end of all times you must have Truth buried in your heart so deep, and to be so grounded with it that when they say that My word means one thing, they will know if it is lining up or not with Truth.

For you can't just have My word and be settled, you must have the Truth of My word. You must have discernment to know truth from error, and know that you must not partake even of a slight mixture of truth and error. For even the enemy knows My word, and he even knows how to preach it, but what he does not know is how to mix My word with Truth, and that is why he doesn't have the power to ensnare My loved ones.....those who would love not their lives unto death, those who are willing to pay the price not to compromise, those who are willing to speak out even in the congregation of the saints, and speak out when error is being proclaimed.

They will sound the alarm when the sheep are being fed poison for without the Truth of My word you will surely perish. For when you see darkness all about you, and there is a famine in the land of pure manna, you will know that I warned you to prepare yourself for this time, to be like the Bereans who searched out the word to make sure it was Truth. You must discern even the slight mixture of error for even a trace of it will pervert the whole loaf, and you will be set up for a snare.

Search My word to make sure it is true what you are hearing to not accept even a trace of secular humanism, that which takes the wisdom of man and tries to mix it with My word for what you will come up with surely will be a lie for you cannot mix that which is Mine and mix it with the wisdom that man received from the evil one. That is where you get the beginning of cults, every sort of deception, and the very root of the occult. It starts with taking My word and placing it in a pot of lies and out comes a seed that grows into a large tree of deception with roots and tentacles that reach out in all directions trying to ensnare anyone that comes in its direction.

For it all stems from eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that man was commanded not to eat of for to eat of it you will surely die. So do not accept less than the best. Trust your heart and not accept everything that you hear from anyone for anyone could have bitten into that forbidden fruit and have the poison of it on their lips. Don't trust in names and faces of those who have been called godly men. Examine the fruit whether there is peace or if there is confusion for a sound man will know their authority and will carry a pure word able to cut through and divide the soul from the spirit. They will know those who operate from the soul realm. They will know those who are trying to ensnare the sheep by what they feed them, and how they lead them, and if they are truly loving them.

For surely this is the end of all times, and you must be girded about with Truth. You must be a light in a dark place. You must sound the alarm and warn when you know there is a mixture. For surely if you don't take a stand for the land, you will surely perish. The blood of those who you allow to be fed what isn't of Me will be on your own hands.
