This is it! The Great End Time move that we all have been waiting for is now at the door. The wedding of the Lamb is almost upon us. The Bride is right now making final preparations to make herself ready. Christians of the world it’s time to unite. The Greatest Move of God is almost upon us and we need to prepare ourselves and our loved ones for this great event. According to the prophet Joel, there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days. - Joel 2:23-32. This will be a worldwide revival. This is not the time of the rapture but the Lord has clearly revealed to us that what’s about to take place is a shadow of the rapture. It will be like the rapture in so many ways. One of the greatest similarities between the rapture and what’s about to take place is this awesome fact; we will arrive home in the Holy Spirit long before we ever see the gates of heaven; when we are joined together as one with Jesus. It’s almost time for the marriage of the Lamb to take place. This is not to be confused with the marriage supper of the Lamb which is found in Revelations 19:7. No, the wedding feast comes after the wedding ceremony. The marriage supper of the Lamb will take place when we arrive home in heaven. We will leave this old world on the day when the First Resurrection takes place. (Revelations 20:4)
In 2008 the church will come alive. This is the Year of Jubilee for the church. This is the year that the Glory of the Lord will fill the Temple. You are the Temple which the Lord will fill with Himself. This is the year that the Father will declare you not guilty. The Father is about to cleanse His people who have offered up their very best to God. Notice I didn’t say those who are perfect. The Lord has told me that He is coming to set free multitudes of notorious Christian sinners. Sinners, who would walk away from their sins in a New York [second] if someone would just come and set them free. The Father is about to put a holy white robe on His Bride. 2008 will be the year of the Great fill up of the Glory of the Lord in our Temples. This year God will visit His house in judgment. God’s judgment of His House will be back-to-back with the outpouring of His Spirit. The Pre-Great Move of God contingency plan In the business world a contingency plan is used as a backup plan for the main business plan. A contingency plan is full of ‘what if’s.’ What if this should go wrong down the road, what should we do then? I call this a Pre-Great Move of God contingency plan because the Lord has alerted me to some of the problems that will pop up down the road. Unlike the business world’s contingency plan that addresses foreseeable problems that may pop up in the future, we will address the problems that will most likely pop up right now. This is the time to address any issues that could take us out of the race. We must be wise business people and see if we have all that it takes to be successful or we will go bankrupt down the road. Time has almost run out to properly prepare for this Great End Time Move of God. We must ask for God’s help to fix our hearts and attitudes now, not down the road when it may be too late. Knowing what the problems could be is half the solution; doing something about these problems now is the other half of the solution. ,strong>Q: Once the Lord pours out His Spirit upon all flesh and sets you free from your sins that have held you captive for years; is it possible to return to your sins? The answer to this question is an astounding yes! Not only is it possible but as unbelievable as it sounds many will go back to their sins. If the angels of heaven could leave their former abode after all that they had experienced; you can too. It’s about free will. God will let you choose who you will serve. The Lord hit me with this word and I know how important it is to Him to help you to understand what is coming. Then He gave me a great example to help you to understand. I used to be a cigarette smoker. I wanted to quit so bad but I couldn’t. I was trapped. Then one day I got so desperate, (I finally got sick of my sin) that I made a deal with God. I said, here’s the deal, if you help me to quit I promise to never go back ever again. What a deal, He must have laughed. It wasn’t long after this that some friends asked me to go to their church. There was a guest preacher who said that God had given him a gift to set people free from smoking. Ha! I thought. How many times have I heard that one? So he asked if there were any smokers here tonight to come to the front and that God would set them free. Well I couldn’t believe my eyes, half the church went up to the front. I thought to myself, what a bunch of sinners. Ha, ha. Then my friends said hey, you want to quit smoking go on up. I was caught with nowhere to run so I went up to make my friends happy. When I arrived the man prayed a very boring, not so spiritual prayer. He said, “God I pray that you will deliver these people from cigarette smoking and that they will never crave smoking again.” He then bound the spirit of nicotine and commanded it to leave. I went back to my seat and said to myself, I can’t wait until this service is over so that I can go out and have a cigarette. Well the service finally ended and we went back to my friend’s house for a coffee. When we arrived in the kitchen I sat down to drink my coffee and when I did I jumped back up. There was something in my back pocket that hurt me when I sat down. So I reached in and pulled out the offender. Wow, it was my pack of smokes. I thought to myself, hey, I haven’t had a smoke yet; well I will go outside with my nice hot coffee and a smoke. Then I remembered what had happened in the service and then the power of God came on me and I heard the Lord clearly say, “Bruce, you can go and have a smoke if you want to but it won’t be because you have to.” This is the message that the Lord wants us to bring to you. Yes you can go back to your sin once God sets you free but it won’t be because you have to. Make up your minds right now that when the Lord frees you, you will never, never go back, that you will not even look back. Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah? Because of Lot’s righteousness alone His whole family was rescued but his wife was not ready to leave. She looked back at her city with longing in her heart for the life she had left behind. Lot’s wife was set free like Lot was but she didn’t have the same heart that Lot had. She was brought out from among them but she wasn’t ready, she hadn’t had enough of the old life and all the filth and the garbage. When she looked back she turned to a pillar of salt. She is our official warning from the Lord of what will happen if we too refuse to leave our sins behind once we are freed. Make up your mind now to learn to hate your sin so that when the time comes for God to set you free, you will never look back. If you turn back, your heart will be hardened for the last time and like the children of Israel who refused to enter the promise land on time, you will die in the wilderness. If you turn back you will soon learn that you have made the biggest mistake in your life for which there will be no return. Yes this is a scary heavy message but this message must be told because it will save many lives from going to hell. Now you understand why we are more concerned about obeying God then we are about being politically correct. (Romans 11:7) One last example of what we are talking about. Do you remember this story about King Saul? The Bible says that Saul became like one of the prophets. He was found prophesying all day long. The Bible says that Saul became like a new man; God gave him a new heart. Even so, King Saul went back and the Kingdom was given to another. Here are some of the things you will need to watch out for after you are filled with the Glory of the Lord. Knowing what is coming will help you to better understand what to watch out for. The strongest warnings from the Lord concerning the time when God will send His mighty end time revival
Warning #1 Stay low, or you won’t go. When the Lord fills His people many will lack the moral maturity or character to continue to contain God’s Spirit in their vessels. Because they were not entirely ready for this great move they are most likely to be the ones that will fall. The Glory of the Lord will be so great that many will be puffed up with pride. Some will fall when they take the glory that belongs to God alone. Remember your place, where you have come from and most importantly remember who deserves all the Glory. Stay humble so you don’t stumble. Never forget, if you fall it won’t be because you have to. Is your desire to serve the Lord equal to the power that He sends to keep you until that day? You will need both great desire and God’s power if you are to finish the race that God has set before you. Although you will receive great power to live for Christ you will still have free will.
Warning #2 Although the greatest move of God in the history of the world is soon to take place, great darkness of equal value will come with it. This darkness will bring persecution and rejection from the very ones that you love the most. This is a part of God’s sifting process. This time of unprecedented persecution and rejection will separate all those who love God from all those who just think that they do. (Luke 21:16-19) We don’t really know our hearts. This time of fire will expose our true state of affairs. Be on guard. Guard that which matters most. Guard the anointing, the Manifest presence of God. Guard that most valuable thing on the face of the earth, which is your relationship with God. Here’s a helpful hint of what to watch for that could take you out of the race. Watch for the last thing the Lord set you free from. This is the most likely culprit that will try and gain access back into your life after the Glory falls. Do you remember the story of when the children of Israel left Egypt? Well guess who was right behind them after they left? That’s right, the Pharaoh and all of his army were right on their tails ready to either kill them or bring them back to Egypt as slaves once again. You have been warned! Don’t allow the enemy to enslave you again with the same sin God has set you free from. Remember this; if you go back it won’t be because you have to. There will be more than enough power to keep you. What, will you do? Make up your mind now!
Warning #3 One of the strongest words the Lord gave us is that one of the main reasons for this Great outpouring of His Spirit is to prepare you for the Tribulation Hour. This is the power that will keep you standing when everything that can be shaken will fall. This is the power that you will need to stand when men’s hearts are failing them for the fear of things coming upon the earth. You won’t make it without this new power, so don’t lose it once you receive it. You will need this oil for your lamp when the time is right so guard it with all your heart, mind and soul. This is the power that will allow you to leave this earth one day without spot or wrinkle. And don’t ever forget this; if you fall it won’t be because you have to. (Ephesians 6:3).
Warning #4 Watch out for the falling stars. Watch out for the very ones that God anoints with great signs and wonders. With great power comes great responsibility. The darkness that is coming will bring with it many temptations to those with high callings on their lives. Like we have said these temptations will most likely be the same ones that you thought you left behind back in Egypt. When these leaders fall it will be because they were seduced by seducing spirits. When this takes place, watch out! Watch for their doctrines to change. They will mix the truth with doctrines of demons. At times it will be hard to see the difference between the two. Remember the gifts of God are without repentance. This means that many will operate under the anointing and yet preach another gospel. Hard to believe but it is true. Not to worry, God will use this time as another opportunity to sift and separate. Many will be deceived in that day, even the elect if possible. Helpful hint! Keep your eyes only on the Master in this next coming move of God. Do not look to these men and women who God anoints, they are only vessels. Look only to God, He alone is your foundation. Yes, listen to His anointed but remember this, His anointed will always point the attention back to the master and away from themselves. All the true servants of God in these last days will lift up Jesus only. This will be one of the signs to you that they serve God alone. Without exception all will preach as John the Baptist preached. “He must increase and I must decrease.” Watch out for those that desire increase. You have been warned. Don’t think for one minute that you will remember everything that we say. This is not the way to protect yourself. That is the Holy Spirits job to remind you if you forget. But how can He remind us if we can’t hear His voice? If you want to be truly ready for God’s Great End Time move then you’re going to have to hang out with the Master every day. Get to know God’s voice now not later. Do not follow us; we are only God’s servants that are pointing to the only One who can protect you. The anointing will protect you if you will go after the Anointed One alone. It is the Holy Spirit that will tell you what to do, where to go and what to say. If you fall back into sin you will lose your way and you will mislead others as you go. On the other hand if you stay faithful and true you will know the truth and you will lead many to righteousness. Blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. (Deuteronomy 11:26). Seek out the preacher who teaches you to hear God’s voice. Knowing God and obeying Him is what the Lord desires most. God desires intimacy with you more than anything. 1 Timothy 6:21. “Some of these people have missed the most important thing in life. They don’t know God.” Jeremiah 2:8 “The people who know the teachings didn’t know Me.” (The Living Bible)
Warning #5 Dig in, the battle is just beginning and it will not go away. The darkest days are just before all of us. Make up your minds now that things are not going to get better for this old world. Greater Glory means greater power. That power is coming because you’re going to need it. Great trials and persecution are on the way and many of us will die a martyr’s death before we leave this earth. From the time of the great outpouring to the very day that Jesus comes to get His Bride things will get worse and worse for this world, not better and better. The Kingdom of God is within us and the Kingdom will come in all its fullness to make the Bride ready to leave this world; not to stay on this earth. When the Father fills us with the Glory of His Son Jesus we will be one with the Master. When the former and latter rains are poured out together you will live a life without spot or wrinkle. I was filled with the Glory of the Lord seven years ago for just a few moments so that I could tell you what is coming. Your spiritual vision will go through the roof. You will be in constant contact with the Master. You will know where to go, what to do and what to say at all times. The power of God is coming to bring in the Harvest. Watch out for supernatural signs following men and women in this last move of God. Just because signs are following them doesn’t necessarily mean they have the truth. On the other hand John the Baptist came with no signs and yet Jesus said of John, “of all those born of a woman there is none greater then John.” (Luke 7:28) Not to worry because soon there will be enough signs and wonders for everyone. There will be signs from hell and from heaven so don’t believe just because you see a sign. Matthew 24:24. (New Living Translation) “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous sings and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.” No my brother and sister don’t look for signs; look for the truth that is found in your Bible. Listen for God’s Spirit to witness in your spirit that what a preacher says is true. Also watch for love, the Bible says that we will know they are Christians by their love. Test the preacher’s spirit; observe how he treats people from the pulpit and then observe how he treats the stranger. We recognize the truth through discernment not through signs and wonders. We hear the Lord’s voice and we follow Him. The truth comes from your ability to recognize the Lord’s voice. 2 Corinthians 3:6, “It is He who made us capable of serving the New Covenant, which consists of not a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.” We need the written word of God, (the Bible) and we need the Spirit of God working together. Not just the word. The word of God without the Spirit is the Law and it brings death. The Lord one day told His disciples, “If you obey Me you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32) Discerning the truth is tied to our obedience. If you ask us to prove with a sign that we speak for God then you are relying upon us, ultimately you’re relying upon man. The Bible tells us that cursed is the man who trusts in man. Obedience is what God requires of you to walk with Him. We must all get right with God and get on the same page that the Lord is on or we won’t recognize the truth in these last days and we will end up being like the teachers of the law. They fought against God’s kingdom when they thought they were protecting His Kingdom. I have good news for you; God has told me that He is coming to give you the power to obey Him. (Psalms 110:3) Many churches that have bound God’s people through traditions of men will close their doors forever and the sheep will scatter to the Rock. God is about to separate His Bride from the dead churches. They will go free into the gifts and callings that the Lord has always planned for them. They will soon gather with the others who have left the over organized churches. They will be one in the Spirit and you will know that they are Christians by their love, not their programs. God’s not against churches, He’s just against the preachers that do not know Him therefore the people can’t know Him. (Hosea 4:6-9). (The Living Bible) They are like Paul was [as Saul]; he was zealous for God but his zeal wasn’t of God. Then one day God came to him and showed him just how blind he was. The time to get your heart right with God is now, not when you get set free and then find yourself entangled in your sins again because your heart wasn’t ready. Israel had their Day of Visitation and the church is about to have her Day of Visitation. When Jesus came the first time it is written that Israel missed their day of visitation. (Luke 19:41-42) When Jesus comes to full us with Himself the church in these last days we must be ready. Solemn warning to all who will soon be filled with the power of God. If you go back to your sins after God fills you with the power to obey it won’t be because you have to. Judgment that begins at the house of the Lord We have now entered the time when everything is about to change. Nothing will be the same from here on in. When God comes near He will either bless us for obedience or judge us for disobedience. (Deuteronomy 28 and Malachi 3:6) Our next message is entitled: “Judgment is about to visit the house of the Lord.” I have never received a clearer word from God. He is coming to set things right in His house and He will begin this cleansing time this year. The Lord is coming to measure the Temple. He will measure all of us with the plumb line of righteousness and truth. There is still time to repent. A changing of the guard is coming. God is about to replace the unfaithful servants with faithful servants. We are about to see Ananias and Sapphira all over again, meaning in this time when God will visit His church in judgment we will see sinners drop dead right in front of us. We will be releasing this solemn message of warning in our next message. This last move is about Great Grace and Intimacy with the Master. The Father is about to set the captives free so that they may be one with His Son Jesus! (John 17:23) I want to tell you what the Lord told us is coming for all those who will humble themselves now and fall on their knees before a Holy God. For all those who will repent now while there is still time; for all those who will offer up their best to God. Please notice that I didn’t say for those who will now be perfect. Most who are bound cannot just decide to walk free. It’s possible to absolutely hate your sin and still be bound; ask any sinner. God is looking at the intent of our hearts today; do you really want to serve God with all your heart? Do you truly hate your sin and are you truly repentant but you can’t get free? Then this last word is especially for you, for all those who would like nothing more than to be free to serve God if they only could. Get ready for total freedom for your spirit, soul and body my brothers and sisters; this is your year. (Isaiah 61:1-3) Announce this message to God’s beautiful Bride throughout the earth. Let the wedding bells ring throughout the earth. Go quickly now! Go with great haste, be bold, do not be afraid to release this word into all the earth. Go now and tell all peoples’ of every nation and tribe and tongue that the marriage of the Lamb is soon to take place and that it’s time to make the final preparations for the wedding. It’s time to get radical one last time!
