Listen to the Spirit and Respond RHEMA WORD (8/23/07)

Father I feel that you want me to continue on what was given yesterday morning. I see a separation going on within the professing Christian Church body. Some profess to be godly, but their actions show that they are sliding into the fullness of the world’s ways. Yet others are becoming committed, dedicated, and seriously seeking the fullness of Christ, and an intimate relationship with the Father. They appear to be growing at an escalated rate, sensing a spiritual urgency that God is drawing them out of a dormant church. God is saying ‘Get ready to run toward the goal set before you. Listen to the Spirit and respond.

“Listen, listen, and listen. Don’t think as before when you were guided by logic and common since, because that is no different than the ways of the world. My wisdom, guidance, and direction will come through prayer and supplication with Me. Draw close to Me, your loving Father, who cares for you, who knew you before you were born, and made a plan for your destiny. I have a plan for all who are willing to draw close to me. To those I will give wisdom, and the ability to see through My eyes, and comprehend my thoughts and understand what is happening around them.

Those of you who have lived in UN-walled cities, feeling safe and secure, beware, your days are numbered. Your peace and security will soon end. The ‘day of the Lord’ is coming with judgment against all those who live according to the flesh.

Judgment is coming to My puffed up Church, who has not separated themselves from the ways of the world. They are asleep and unaware that that they are like the bridesmaids’, which were running out of oil for their lamps. Many of them have already lost their oil, and are destine for destruction. Much of the professing Church is asleep, without light and unaware of their destiny. There are many within the Church who is dead or dying, unaware of their present condition. Tribulation will cause some to awaken, but others will be destine to fall away.

No longer will My name and professing body, ‘the whole house of Israel’, be a hypocritical mockery to Me. I will separate the wheat from the chaff, and the sheep from the goats. My true people will be lead by the true Sheppard’s, which will protect the flock and lead them to safety.

The uncommitted will no longer be part of My body. Those uncommitted will fall away to destruction, or they will commit to the refining fires of tribulation, and follow Me. In the fire it will be like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.

To those who endure, I will release My power and authority to be My witnesses to accomplish great and mighty exploits.

What is presently perceived as the Christian Church will change in appearance.

The sheltered Church will undergo the greatest change. Denominational ties will eventually fade away, and be bound only to Me, leaving only a flock of committed overcoming Christian warriors, who operate in My Spirit with power and authority to defeat the powers of darkness.

The persecuted Church has already been going through the fires of tribulation and refinement, moving toward My objective, where the manifestation of My power and authority is more prevalent. In My end time’s church, there is no room for greed, selfish ambition, or egocentric thinking. My body must be one in purpose.

Those who cause dissension and seek personal power will be destroyed as it was with the rebellion of Korah against Moses. Life will be different, but love and compassion toward others will flow greater. I will give peace that surpasses understanding, with great joy. Through great tribulation My Church will find its’ strength in Me. That presence of love, joy and peace, by My Spirit will saturate them to overflowing on others, to convict, seek, and desire to receive what they have.

My body will not fear death, nor persecution, because I Am with them. And nothing will happen without My allowing it. Tribulation is ordained by me. Through it My bride will be made ready for consummation with me, without spot or wrinkle.”
