Excerpt: The Lord then began to speak to me about His Glory. He said with this plumb line “everyone” will be forced to choose which side they are on. Those who choose His Glory will receive it in a greater measure than they ever imagined! I saw a joyous celebration taking place with spectacular manifestations of the Glory of God! Those who chose God would go to higher and higher levels in Glory and into intimacy with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—they would be qualified to go to the next level.

However, sadly enough, the Lord also said that those who didn’t choose His Glory would not only miss out on this glorious level of God’s presence, but they would also be drawn away into deception of the enemy. I saw how the enemy would begin to infiltrate their thought-lives and then entire beings through harbored unbelief in their hearts. The enemy would cause them to increase in legalism—the religious spirit would begin to dominate. These were people once full of faith and belief… even the elect if possible.

The Lord spoke to me and said, “The religious spirit IS the spirit of antichrist.”

Notice the Bible never says it’s the spirit of anti-Jesus, but anti-Christ. The word “Christ” means “Anointed One.” The spirit of antichrist is anti-anointing. It is a religious spirit that is viciously against genuine demonstrations of miracles, healings, and the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. The enemy will often use the religious spirit or the spirit of unbelief to bring about a cloud of deception during the times when the Lord speaking—unbelief cuts us off from the promises He is speaking—it cuts us off from His rest (see Hebrews 3:12 – 4:16).

In Spirit of Burning (August 21, 2008), Geroge Acason released a word in which he writes the Lord woke him one night to say, “Tell my people to be ready for the Spirit of burning. Tell my people to be ready for the Spirit of burning.” He feels this is a purging, purifying fire to remove the chaff from the wheat, the old man or corruptible from the new man, the new creation in Christ’s image, which will be burnt with unquenchable fire.

In Chronicles of Time (December 20, 2008), Robin Paisley ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) writes of a recent vision of satan’s tactic to get believers to rush around instead of being still to hear God’s voice.

Excerpt: WAIT! YOU ARE NOT LATE!

In a recent vision I saw the enemy disguised as the white rabbit in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ exclaiming loudly, “You’re late, you’re late, for a very important date, no time to say hello goodbye, you’re late, you’re late, you’re late!” I then saw a countless number of saints follow the ‘white rabbit’ down into a bunny hole.

This next year awaiting us is our precipice moment in time, it is a holy summoning from above; our soul and spirit together as one, but this too shall pass. This too shall pass and some will miss their divine appointment from heaven above because their soul moved forward when their spirit said to stand still; their soul leaped for man’s recognition instead of God’s. Many are jumping out into callings and ministries that were not made for them, they feel a sudden urgency that time is running out while others seem to be reaping rewards and therefore they are leaping when the Spirit of the Lord is telling them to just be silent and wait. There is treasure to be found in the midst of the storm and it has everything to do with God’s timing and not mans. You are not late, WE are not late and the redemption of time is at hand but we must learn to embrace the ‘hush’ instead of embracing the ‘rush’ for they who wait upon the Lord shall RENEW their strength!

“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the LORD, They shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37:7-11

Scene II

The saints that followed the white rabbit down into the bunny hole all looked exactly the same, they even talked alike exclaiming the same prophetic word ‘to hurry and follow the white rabbit for ‘we are late!’ The bunny hole was a slippery slope that eventually led them straight into the mouth of the fox where he quickly devoured all that came his way.

The Lord spoke through the prophet Ezekiel warning the people to stop prophesying false visions, false words that did not come from Him but from man. They had not tasted of the word they were giving but just repeating out of vain imaginations. “Thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! O Israel, your prophets are like foxes in the deserts. You have not gone up into the gaps to build a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle on the day of the LORD.” Ezekiel 13:3-5

In Spirit Of Fear (December 14, 2008), Patty Kerst writes that she sees Satan using FEAR as a weapon.

Excerpt: I saw a big sign flashing the word FEAR. I believe it is a warning sign that the enemy is using fear to cause people to act irrationally. I hear the Lord saying, “When you operate in fear you are disconnected from Me. When you operate in faith I am right there to help you, to instruct you and to guide you. Do not allow fear to operate, instead let My perfect love cast out all fear and seek Me in faith, because faith works by My love. Walk in love, walk in faith, speak to the fear, (mountain) be removed and speak to the wind and waves be still.”

In The Lie Concerning 2009, Russell Durose from Portugal (www.prayer-revival-initiative.com) sees fear being spread in the media. He feels this year will be a “Passover” year for the faithful.

Excerpt: The Lord says that 2009 is the year of “The Passover.” He says that there shall be a coming together of believers in a conviction that the whole concept of fellowship and unity should be rethought. There shall be needed a whole new reappraisal on being a spiritual family. The Lord is allowing a great famine to come on the earth, in the shape of an angel that passes over. This shall execute the judgments of the Lord. But those covered under the Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ, the Pascal Lamb, spoken of in Exodus 12 shall be spared. They shall know the protection of the Lord. They will need to be prepared, with their belts of truth girded, and to get a notion that we are “passing over.”

Before the actual passing over, which is the Church being caught up, God will transfer into the hands of trusted believers great riches, there shall be a spoiling, like has never been seen. 2009 is a preparation in this. Congregations which do not practice the lifestyle of true brotherly love, and true fellowship cannot “eat of the lamb.” Eating of the lamb, must be done quickly, because the eating of the “Lamb” must be done in family, and must not be left anything. Or it should be burned. The Lord says that once congregations of His Church come into the true koinonia, then they can eat of Christ. This means that Christ’s manifestation shall come into the midst of the congregation. It means that they shall be reading, because the Church shall leave this “Egypt” suddenly.

I preached this message last night at Vila do Conde Assemblies of God Church, Northern Portugal, last night, it was accompanied by a great presence of the Lord. The Lord is about to mark 2009 as a great YEAR OF REVIVAL. It is not going to be the worst year...it is going to be the best year.

In Dynasty (December 29th, 2008) Priscilla Van Sutphin (www.upstreamca.org) writes the Holy Spirit spoke, Excerpt: “While men are building their dynasties, I also am building a Dynasty—a dynasty of hope, love and mercy of which I am the KING and Supreme Ruler. I am not slack concerning My promises beloveds. I am TRUTH. I don’t just speak truth, I AM TRUTH. I AM LOVE. I AM FAITH. I AM JOY. I AM everything you need, and I rule and reign, not only in heaven but on the earth and under the earth. My dynasty will live forever. Those who choose their own dynasties will lose all they have. For every kingdom will become the kingdom of our Lord and Christ, it is written. All the vain works of men and women will be destroyed.

* * *

“I am not rash nor hasty as man is. I AM wisdom. And the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Do not put your trust in institutions, or what you can do with your own hands. Ask My advice, and I will show you what you should do. But you must come aside, and be with Me a while, and spend yourselves on ME. I will lead you in the way that is right. I will be light in the darkness. I AM the Light of the World am I not? When you bathe in My light some more, you will have the answers that you need.

* * *

“I am increasing the intensity with which I am purging and cleansing My people. I am increasing glory, but as glory comes, it exposes all that is not of ME. Do not become overwhelmed with the state of your heart, with your unbelief, doubts, or the level of wickedness of what I show you in your own heart. Just come to ME, repent and ask me to remove it. I AM the FATHER OF LIGHTS, and every good and perfect gift comes from ME. I will light up your darkness and remove the chains. Just don’t be afraid when you see what is still there in your heart. COME TO ME. Come and let me heal you, and love you and do the surgery required. I LOVE YOU MY beloveds, and there is nothing I won’t do for you. But you must remove all the unbelief from your hearts.

“There are many chambers in the heart and some hide away things that you’ve never addressed, and have forgotten. I can bring all to memory if you are willing and WANTING freedom. You cannot sweep dirt under a rug and call the floor clean. So it is with emotions. You cannot sweep it all from your mind by just ignoring it.

“Let ME be the Divine Physician with you. Let me show you the roots of sin and pain in your heart that keep you from being able to obey fully My commands. Let me touch you with My love. Come into My arms, it is safe here. There is no condemnation here. There is no judging or punishment here. There is love and healing here for you. There is understanding and wisdom for you here in My heart. It only takes putting away your fear & pride, and asking. Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be opened. Come aside, for there is little time before it gets really busy for you.”

In Move Into The New (January 1, 2009), Angela Gulartie ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) writes about the need to let the ministers of the Body equip the saints to do the work of the ministry instead of being the only ministers themselves.

Excerpt: Ephesians 4:11-14(a) says this: “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the statute of the fulness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children......

Did you read that, saints? We have forgotten that God’s purpose for the five fold ministry—the apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists—is a limited one! His ultimate purpose is for each and every one of us who is not in the five fold ministry to come into spiritual maturity—to stop being spiritual children—and to come into such a personal knowledge of the Son of God (translate, “relationship with Jesus”) that we become perfected and are able to move into unity of faith with the rest of the Body.

One of the primary purposes for those of us in five-fold ministry is to facilitate that process of leading others into spiritual maturity.

A clear example of this is what we do with raising our children. I could have, as my child grew through the years, continued to wash his clothes and cook his meals. But if I was going to raise him into maturity, I would stop doing those things for him and instead, teach him how to do those things for himself so that he would not have to rely on me.

It’s the same thing with relationship with God. Those I have worked with could continue to rely on me for their “word” from God, or their healing, or whatever it was they needed. Or, I could work with them to open their own gifts, to learn how to hear God for themselves, to practice spiritual warfare and to learn by the Spirit, understanding that it was going to be more difficult and time-consuming at first for them to do that, than it would be for me to give them the answer or heal them through laying on of hands.

So there’s a two-fold problem that arises in the Body. with that. When people get used to you “doing for them”, they don’t learn the skills necessary to go directly to the source—God—and learn to do for themselves through their relationship with Him. That’s the first problem.

The second problem is that their expectations will bond together with the expectations of others who see someone in the five-fold ministry in a certain way with a certain function, and those collective expectations and often, the “ministry machinery” that gets built up around that, gets in the way of the minister being able to shift gears and move into the next phase of God’s plan for their lives. So, the ministers get stuck. They get trapped in bondage and they get trapped, if they are not careful, by a need to stay within the machinery they have built.

God’s solution of course, is that those in five fold ministry are to train and equip others into spiritual maturity—meaning that they can do for themselves by going to God, what they have been reliant upon others in the past to do for them.

And this is what I’ve done with those who God has given me. Every single one that I have worked with is in a different place now, than they were when they started. They can hear from God. They can activate a flow of the Spirit to heal. They know what their primary gift is. They might not be perfected at all of it, but they are on the road and if I were to be hit by a bus tomorrow, they could carry on quite well without me. That, beloved ones, is equipping the saints.
