My Church, I speak to you to continue to stay close to Me. Do not sway in your intimacy with Me. Continue to come to Me and seek Me and do not become lax in your seeking of My heart. Not striving to bring about your own works and self effort but to truly know My heart.

For when you seek Me and you know Me, and continually live growing deeper in intimacy with Me each day you will grow in hearing My voice. You will grow in knowing what I am speaking to you individually every day. For there are many assassination attempts spiritually that have been released against many of you.

Many of you are wondering when this will end, many of you are crying out ‘how much longer?’ I am speaking to you, My people, that I have heard your cries and am not allowing this season to bring harm to you. I am allowing this season to train your hands for war and your fingers for battle. For how shall you know how to fight the enemy if you are not in a war?

Many of you have been fighting for a long time now and have learnt great skills by My Spirit in your warfare. I am pleased with your faithfulness to continue to praise Me and seek Me despite the hardship that many of you have faced. For I am the Lord thy God that rewards My Church for their faithfulness. For many of you are learning now to ‘be’ in My presence and not to ‘do’ or ‘try to do.’ For many have been so caught up in self effort, pride, and vain efforts, trying to build ministries, and kingdoms of their own that I have not asked them to, yet do this in My name to bring about blessing and My favour in their lives.

“Just as in the United Nations, they have special envoys to go check out disasters and disputes, I am raising up in MY army, special envoys of peace, special envoys on assignment to bring healing, to bring deliverance, to bring MY LIFE to the nations. I too will send many out in the midst of turmoil, and disaster bringing much needed relief. Relief in the natural, and relief in the spiritual. I have been preparing hearts of compassion, hearts that want to bring HEALING to the people, and I will do great exploits in these days.

Daniel 11:31-32 (AMP) ³¹ And armed forces of his shall appear [in the holy land] and they shall pollute the sanctuary, the [spiritual] stronghold, and shall take away the continual [daily burnt offering]; and they shall set up [in the sanctuary] the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate [probably an altar to a pagan god]. ³² And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God].

Ephesians 6:18-20 (NKJV) “... ¹⁸praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— ¹⁹and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

I saw a massive train yard. In the middle of the train yard was a turntable that re-directed locomotives and boxcars. Surrounding the turntable were many different tracks—leading in every direction. Many locomotives would pull an enormous train of boxcars to the turntable, detach from the cars, drive onto the turntable, turn in a completely different direction, and then re-attach to a new trail of boxcars (train).

Some distance from the turntable, I saw many locomotives and boxcars that had sat stationary for some time. Though they had collected dust, they were very sound mechanically, as they were regularly serviced as they sat, that they would be ready at a moments’ notice to be dispatched to any of the countless tracks heading in every direction.

Toward the end of the vision, I could hardly believe my eyes at the enormity of the train yard, as the expanse was beyond what the eyes and mind could fully comprehend.

It was during the vision that I realized the completed trains were churches and ministries. The turntable represented new relationships, new associations, new directions and new partnerships unfolding in the Body of Christ abroad.

“Pay attention!” The Lord would say unto the prophets to pay attention.

“Have I not said in my Word, ‘Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge?’

“You are feeling the stirring of My Spirit, and you see My Brooding upon the Seas, and my Breath upon the waters, and you desire to thunder forth, ‘And the Lord said...’

“But, you’re feeling the restraint of the Spirit. You’re feeling the hand of God cupped tightly over your mouth, and you’re being silenced, and you have wondered, and you have questioned, and you have said, ‘Yea Lord, am I being left out? Am I not a part of what you are doing in the earth? Have you rejected me? Have I disappointed you? Have I been weighed in the balances to be found wanting? Have my hands not been clean enough? Has my heart not been pure enough? Have You forbidden me the ascent into the Holy Hill of the Lord?’

“And I would answer you that I am releasing the prophets by course. There is a prophetic army being sent forth by troops and by ranks and by companies, and even as a natural army does not send forth all it’s soldiers into the area of occupation at one time, even so I do not send forth all My soldiers, my Servants, and in particular My servants, the prophets, at one time.

I speak to you My Joshuas and Calebs, step forth into the Promised Land with the generation that will go with you—the generation who follow Me wholeheartedly, with selfless faith, and do not look back at those who have chosen judgment—those who have held onto their sin. Yes my Joshuas and Calebs, there is a generation of sheep that will go with you, they know Me and I know them, but there is also a generation of goats that will be left behind, they know me, but bow down to what their hands have made. What their hands have made cannot keep them in the Promised Land, for this land belongs to those whose help is in Me and Me alone. The Promised Land has giants that their gods cannot save them from, yet I have defeated these giants and those who are My sheep, who trust Me and Me alone, with selfless faith—these are those for whom I have slain the giants, because they have believed in Me and not in the work of their hands. So step forward and do not look back as I sweep over the earth to bless and to judge.

My fire that burns within you will now be turned outwards. For I have accomplished all that I have set about to do within you at this time. You have obediently remained pliable under My Hand, and you have not walked away from the intense suffering that I have had you to walk through. I am pleased with your desire to remain close to Me, and I have seen your struggles, yet you did not deny Me. You are now ready for the passing through of My Flame of Righteousness; it is to begin to now burn outwardly upon you even more than before, as well as to flow through you.

I have purified your entire being through and through, in this intense season of trials and pressures. Even so, now your flesh and your path ahead of you will be ignited even more than before with My Fire, in an even stronger physical way, in order for you to be prepared for My Glorious Presence that will come to rest upon you. For I am progressively bringing a fuller knowledge of My Glory to you, to My Church, and to the world, and all men will soon see My Visible Glory on My Vessels that will allow Me to burn through them and upon them. It is a painful work that must be accomplished, but it is My Glorious Work, and it will be seen and understood by those who have allowed Me to enable them with eyes to see.

Allow My Spirit to flow within you. You cannot produce what you desire within your own self. You cannot free yourself as you look at yourself but only as you continue to look to Me and trust in Me to finish the process that I have begun in you. What I am doing in your life requires that you continue to yield to Me and that you do not try to speed the process with your own works.

I know your struggles and your desire to be free of the things that plague you in your thoughts and in your flesh. I know your desire to walk free with Me, and I am doing what is necessary for you to be free. So, let go, and let Me flow. I want to flow more through your life, and as I do, I will progressively remove more of your self life and replace more of My divine life within you to enable you to walk as an overcomer.

My Bride cannot be an overcoming end time Bride if she is continually beset with things within herself, and also with the things of the world. So, I am showing her all that lies deep within her in this season, and I am bringing her through it all by the pressures and the winds of adversity to fully remove the last vestiges of the residues in her, that resist Me from living fully through her. As it is with you, My Child, receive My Winds gladly and let the things go. Do not overly examine the things within you anymore, but let Me have them, and let Me remove them, My Way.

The fountains of the deep within you are shaking—
And every form of resistance to Me I am breaking—

In your emotions
In your education
In your soul/mind
In your physical might
In your talents and abilities
In your trust in prosperity
In your independence
In your worldly values
In your integrity
In your words
In every argument
In every excuse

I am dealing with all things in your heart and life that are not given over to Me and that are not crucified and sanctified. What you hold onto and depend on actively resists Me and opposes Me. I will not allow it in your life anymore. So, I am shaking you to the core, and then breaking open your heart’s door.

The Death of King Saul, the Book of Zephaniah
and the Word to the Church in Pergamum

I Give This Word In Holy Fear.

It is weighty and serious and something I don’t delight in. I feel the constraint of caution and at the same time the compulsion of obedience to deliver it.

I believe we are about to witness what is arguably the most important shift in power the church will ever go through in this age. The fall of the ruling “King Saul” system. There are three passages that the Lord has shown me that help to explain this shift:

• I Chronicles 10:13-14 — The Lord put Saul to death … and gave the Kingdom over to David.

• The Book of Zephaniah — The “remnant” will have their fortunes restored, will plunder the land and inherit it.

• Revelations 2:12-17 — Jesus rebukes those in Pergamum who hold to the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitanes, fighting against them with the ‘Sword of His Mouth, giving gifts to the overcomers.

I first got the word on Pergamum about six months ago, but it was only at the beginning of making this issue that the Lord told me it was now time to release it. However, it wasn’t until weeks later when I stated reading through the month’s prophecies from ETPV that I saw more than a dozen words discuss the same issue. This shift is certainly now coming upon us.

The Word to the Church in Pergamum:

Balaam, Nicolaitans, and Hidden Manna

When I first heard the Lord give this word, I had no idea what it meant, and I am only learning now as I am doing this research, which you ought to check up on yourself in case you feel it is incorrect.

First, this is the relevant part of Scripture from The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, with my emphasis in bold:

^12. “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: ^13. ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. ^14. ‘But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. ^15. ‘So¹ you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. ^16. ‘Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.
^17. ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’

My precious Church, I have spoken to many of you about breakthrough, that it is right in your midst, and many of you are wondering why this breakthrough has not become manifest around you yet.

I speak to you, My Church, do not weary, for My purposes are indeed coming to fruition in your lives.

You are not alone, My Church; I am with you, I am standing before you, I am carrying you and I am empowering you.

The breakthrough that you are seeking is indeed coming to fruition in your lives, but not in the way you are expecting. Do not put me in a box, but continue to trust My character, My heart and My Word to you.

For there is a war in the heavenlies over many of your lives where the spiritual forces of darkness are doing all they can to try and hinder and stop My breakthrough in many of your lives, but do not be discouraged for My warrior angels are in battle and My purposes are coming to pass. The victory is Mine!

In the midst of worship in the secret place I suddenly heard the musical chiming of symphonic proclamation. Then I heard the unmistakable voice God asking me this question: “What time is it in heaven?”

His voice shook me to the very core of my being. Again and again He asked me this question. “What time is it in heaven?”

“Oh, my Lord,” I responded, “Why do you ask me this? How should I, how can I know? You are God. You alone know.”

I felt like Job when he was humbled by the sovereignty of the Almighty. Yet He persisted: “What time is it in heaven?”

An exhortation from the Father’s heart to yours: Breakthrough!

Breakthrough!

The breakthrough has come! The breakthrough has come!

The shaking has been violent. Though you thought you might fall, you STOOD. You stood and now breakthrough has come. You have fought and you will continue to fight but now you fight from a higher plane. Your vantage point is now one where you have gained great vision. And greater vision you shall have!

From My Throne of Grace you have come to learn all things of Satan’s kingdom are under your feet. When you sit on your Daddy’s lap in the heavenly realm and you see the smallness of the devil and his ways, you have truly found the place of BREAKTHROUGH! (Breakthrough is found in the Secret Place of the Most High God.)

So stand firm and watch the salvation of your God to move mightily on your behalf.

“I will take you where angels fear to tread; where grown men have stumbled and gone astray. As you stay close to Me, I will guide and direct your path; stay close to Me. Listen for My voice at every junction before you venture out on the ‘open road.’ The sign posts will be there — you must seek and you shall find; do not rush and miss them, but do not stand and dwell beneath them.

“You are about to enter the open road. Be alert; be ready to accelerate as the road allows; be ready to negotiate each bend with care. Is anything too difficult for Me? I will make the crooked path straight when I release My favor and My increase. ‘Kairos’ will be a living experience for you. What was crooked will become straight.

“I am accelerating your destiny. Time is the essence and the essence is time. Do not fear the unknown; this is a road of opportunity and it is ‘open’ for you. Just listen at the junction, and then move out. You must listen at the junction for directions.

In the fall of 2004, I had a dream. It was so real and terrifying that I had to get up from my bed. The following is an account of the dream:

“I was visiting my birthplace, a small village in the beautiful Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia. I pulled my car off the road and parked in front of the old Methodist Church. I got out of the car to stretch my legs. The day was absolutely pristine and picture perfect. The sky was cloudless, the sun bright, and the air fresh and crystal clear. I was admiring the beautiful flowers growing in people’s yards. Many were busy working in their yards and gardens on such a gorgeous day. There was such peace and serenity.

“I turned and looked toward the southeast. I was astonished at what I saw. A billowing cloud of complete blackness was suddenly approaching the town. It completely blotted out all light and scenery where it advanced and covered. It approached the village limits, which was a river southeast of the community.
