"Even though I walk 'through' the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me..." Psalm 23:4

So many of My own are going and have been going through painful trials—you are suffering and you awake the next day, concerned of what that day might bring. You are concerned about your here and now, concerned about your future and the future of your country as well as the world. A future that appears to you to be crumbling and falling apart, but I say REJOICE, REJOICE in your sufferings looking forward to the outcome that is to follow, not only with you but in all aspects of what I AM doing.

Sufferings, Jesus suffered but He beat suffering, and how did he end up .... with Glory! Are you not connected with Him? Others say "You are a Christian, look at the sufferings and pain you are going through!" They see what is on the surface, but what they don't see is the word "through.” I said you would walk "through" the shadow of death, not remain in it and when you get to the other side, you will come out as metal that was purified by the red hot fire... So when they speak these things to you, when they insult and ridicule you for your beliefs—friends, co-workers, the man on the street, even family members; it's for one reason and one reason only, it's because you live for Christ and believe in His standards and they cannot fathom even the most simplest part of your walk with Me.

“For nothing remains hidden that will not be exposed!” Habakkuk 2:1-2
 

A few days ago I saw in a vision a huge eagle. As he flew slowly above me, I recognized, as from his feathering a big feather separated and slowly moved over towards me and finally changed into a “pen.” Now I knew, that GOD wanted to give me a new message. Naturally I did not know anything about the topic of the revelation He was going to give me. So I spent those days much in worship and prayer and asked Him, to keep me from false spiritual impressions. As I withdrew yesterday to have fellowship with GOD, immediately I received a vision. I found myself in the spirit in a “Fire and arms blacksmith” in which a big melting furnace burned and ash remains were separated from liquid metal. I saw also stained, dirty swords and soiled armours. But where were the possessors of those armours? The term “false heroes” came to mind and immediately I saw a kind of list where the negative characteristics were mentioned.

False heroes: broadcast their calling. Are boasting and taking glory from each other. Looking for their own benefit. Are calculating, ambitious, envying success. Put their name up front. Recommend themselves as especially anointed and internationally acknowledged. They are looking for personal “armour bearers” that are completely submitted to support them with their finances and capabilities. They look for sponsors for their “worldwide ministry,” but also to be helped to keep an appropriate position of lifestyle of a visibly by GOD blessed living standard that clearly differs from any norm in a visible and perceptible way. To be quite honest, I was actually not prepared for this topic. To me it was as if GOD would have taken me simply into this film. Suddenly I found myself on a wide plain. In front of me appeared many “carrier slaves” organized in rank and file, who carried together a big platform, that glared in the sunlight metallically.

In "Come Up Here" Bev Bradley writes:

In a time when many voices are vying for our attention, and for some of you, circumstances are putting you in a place of great fear and uncertainty, we need to remember, only ONE voice matters. It is the voice of the Lord, the Spirit of the Living God. John 10:27 says, “My sheep listen to my voice, I know them and they follow me.”

I am convinced once again that the Lord is saying to His people right now, “Come up here and I will show you….” (Rev. 4:1) But just as Nicodemus asked Jesus in John chapter 3, “how can a man be born again, surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born…” some of you are asking, “what does she mean ‘come up here’…is she saying that we, by an act of our will, can physically be where Jesus is?”

No, but what I am saying is that as His people, as His Bride, if we will posture ourselves before Him in such a way as to know Him, to hear His voice and understand His ways…as we come before Him seeking His face and His heart, He will without a doubt show Himself to us. We can know and understand His heart for us regardless of what the voices of the economy are saying, regardless of what the news media says, regardless of what our circumstances tell us. It is time for us to hear what the king of Kings and the lord of Lords is saying in this hour.

A CALL TO READINESS

Take up your cup and your lamp and follow Me, and I will take you on a journey that will establish in you My perfect will, and you will begin to see why you had to go through the hardships and the stretchings of the past. This is the day I will establish in you My plan, and I will bring it forth through you, for I am calling forth a people who have been prepared in the oven of My burning love. You have watched My hand mold you and prepare you, though the heat at times seemed unbearable. You have seen My grace, My enabling power, bring you through every time where you were able to stand unwavering with head set like flint against the evil one.

You need to be like a dog with a bone, never letting go of My promises, when the forces of darkness come against you trying to rob you. Be bold, be strong, for the Lord thy God is with you. Be not dismayed for I Am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness. With all that in mind I want you to rejoice for no weapon formed against you will prosper. I Am your healer. I will not allow man to come against you to destroy the seed of faith I planted within you. And it will grow and develop a bumper crop of My glory and grace. And My word will spread like wild fire for I have prepared you in the oven of My glory.

AN URGENT MESSAGE

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE—EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

In Him we live and move and have our being. There is no one like Him for He is holy, and we are to be perfected and made holy in Him. If we let Him do the work needed in our hearts, we will be able to do great exploits in Him. As the Lord is our guide, we will be able to go where no man has been allowed to be. Because we do not fear losing our lives, we don’t have that obstacle to have to overcome.

So we must go to the garden, and be determined to be a living sacrifice, knowing that whatever we face He is there with us, enabling us to speak boldly His words. With His love flowing freely and mightily through us, no weapon formed against us can ever prosper. We are determined to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves loving not our lives unto death.

Yes, this is the time and the hour to come boldly before the throne of grace that we may receive favor in the evil day that we face. For we know that we serve a sovereign God, and nothing comes to us without the Lord first allowing it to try and test us to see if our hearts are pure, to see if our motives are pure, to see if our love is genuine.

So come boldly before the Lord our God that we may receive great grace to enable us to finish the race ahead without wavering in doubt or fear. Know that without any shadow of doubt that He is faithful to complete that perfect work that He began in us. Continue to reach out to touch the hem of His garment that we may be healed, that we be made strong, to receive favor, wisdom and honor. There is nothing by any means that can harm us.

With this in mind, rejoice, for this is the hour that the Lord will surely meet with us, pouring out signs and wonders, confounding the wise, for we are a holy generation, a peculiar people that will not be silent until His kingdom comes, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Be at peace for this is the final hour, says your God.

We are in a time of great changes on the earth. There are coming forth new alignments of mans’ kingdoms in nations and economics. We are also in a time of New wineskins for the Kingdom of God. God wants us to enter into His unfolding plan, to walk with Him and be at rest in our hearts. But when we don’t yet see what things will be, how can we know what to do?

As worldwide changes take place we undergo the pressure too. The financial difficulties of this season are exposing many hearts, and here is a key. You may easily give in to fear and worry, or anger and despondency. You may wonder where God is. But you need know that trials are not a sign that something is wrong with your faith. In fact we are told not to be surprised by fiery trials, and that they prove us!

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 1 Peter 4:12

The Greek language used here means these trials will come, and here they are! Trials test our faith to see what it is like. This is not so God can find out. He knows. But trials are so we can find out how our faith is doing and change things! He wants us to depend on Him, to radically trust and love Him. Crisis often means we have no choice! So what does it mean to be tried or “proven” as some translations say?

I heard the Lord say, “There is a silent cry amongst my people.”

I then got a sense that this was not a small group of people, this was a very large group and within this group were people who were leaders and lay people, young and old and across nations as well.

They were people who had searched for God, both in and outside church and had either not found Him or had found what they thought was Him for a time but then realized later that either they had been deceived or that there was more. Today they stand with a silent cry—“God who are You? What I thought was You, isn’t You because it isn’t holding me right now. I have a form of godliness that lacks power and I can’t deny it anymore.”

I also got a sense that within this large group, there were various smaller groups of people who were responding differently to this cry within them.

1. Some were standing in a place of brokenness and humility sincerely seeking to know God.

2. Others were agreeing with the cry, but only with their lips and not with their hearts.

3. Others were wrestling with this cry because of an unholy fear based upon a carnal and incorrect understanding of God.

4. A fourth group had decided to ignore the cry altogether however, because they had decided that they already knew who God was.

My name is Genevieve Roy. I lived in BC since August. I come from Quebec. My first language is French. I send you what I saw in soaking time. You can correct the English if you prefer.

The Walk Of The Virgins

I have seen the same thing three times but with always new things. The first time (a) I saw the part of the church, the second time (b) the part the enemy was doing added to it, and the third time (c) Jesus explained things to me.

(a) Jesus took me to a desert with some vegetation but few of it. We were walking hand in hand crossing the desert, in front of us on the other side there was a huge volcano with all kinds of color and light getting out of it. This volcano was the father. So we were walking, our eyes looking to it with an haste to be there. I looked all around me and on both side of me and in my back there was a crowd. When I looked to the crowd, it was a crowd but when I looked to the person one by one, each one of them was hand in hand with Jesus and had his eyes on the volcano. There was also a horse beside each one but nobody were on the horse. So I ask Jesus why nobody were on the horse, and he said to me that we were not ready yet. So I begin to look further in the crowd and I realised that people in front of it were walking with Jesus but in the middle of it things changed, some people were in the arms of Jesus and he was carrying them, some others were lame and he was helping them to walk, some others were carry by two angel, they were in foetal position and Jesus was looking at them with love and walking giving them His hand. The persons who were at the end of the crowd were walking backwards and Jesus who was walking the right way had to pull them but they cannot even see Him or the Father (volcano).

What are you “up to” o church; in these trying times your love for Me is waning. Instead of your hearts turning towards Me you are turning away! Your shepherds have tickled your ears for years now and now that times are hard you do not have a Rock to stand on but are on sand, and your houses are blowing away in this financial storm. Do I not say in My Word that you are to build your houses upon the Rock and not on sand? Few have listened to the promptings of My Spirit to leave spiritual Babylon and to leave the bondage of Egypt and to learn to hear from Me for yourselves and to trust Me for your provision and not the horses and chariots of Egypt. Few, very few listened to Me and the warnings of the prophets and now you find yourselves in a “pickle.”

Isaiah 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

There have been so many confirmations of several unique aspects of rapture dreams and words lately that I feel it is important to share some key ideas from them. I think it is very helpful that ETPV.org have created an entire webpage dedicated to confirmations of this important topic. The main ideas in these revelations are at odds with most common teaching on the rapture; most teach that the event is a sudden disappearing of saints, whereas 1 Corinthians 15:51 actually does say those still alive will be “transformed” or “changed.” But I’d prefer to let these authors share their own revelations.

Our Immortal Bodies

The first key quote that I want to make people aware of is from Eva Marsee, entitled Our Immortal Bodies. http://www.etpv.org/2009/oibods.html

After having a very detailed dream of getting her glorified body and being allowed to stay on the earth as a witness for many days, she awoke:

I asked: Lord, Your word says that “to everything there is a season.” What is the season for Your church in America?

He replied: It is the season for each to seek Me individually. It is the season to rid yourselves of all the things which separate us — things that are not sinful, but merely inconsequential and distracting to you. You say, “yes, but, it’s only a game.” The problem is that the game is distracting you ... and you may well miss when I call if you cannot hear me over “the yelling of the crowd.” It really doesn’t matter what the “game” is; if I didn’t call you to it, it is just a game.

This includes the things you do for recreation — all of them.

This includes the things you do for economic purposes — all of them.

This especially includes the things you do in My name — again, all of them.

Take time with Me. Find a quiet spot. Enjoy the view. And just sit awhile with Me.

On March 3, I saw a globe on a stand being shaken violently. The globe was spinning on its vertical (or rotational) axis much faster than normal and it was spinning on its horizontal axis as well, that is, from top to bottom. In a sense, time is speeding-up and the world is being turned upside-down at the same time. These combined effects would make the people of the Earth giddy. In particular, it is time for people in the churches to stand on the true foundation which is Jesus. Then I saw the globe being shaken in darkness. The world will be covered by darkness. In particular, it is time for people in the churches to walk in the light and Jesus is the light of the world. Surely, no one on Earth could stand in multi-axial spinning and darkness which would produce both disorientation and blindness. A time is coming when the only way to stand will be to stand with the Lord—this is a global message. Nevertheless, I felt peace while I was watching the globe spinning and I saw the globe stop spinning. While the globe was still, I was able to see individual nations. I knew that the hand of God had stopped the world shaking and God had shone light on particular nations; His grace is greater than the shaking and the darkness—even when those global events happen at the same time.

Peter Gross, March 3, 2009

From this time forth, My beloved ones, My light shall “emanate” [flow forth] from you in such a way as to expose all that is apart from Me in the hearts of those who cross your path. The spontaneous effect of these things shall be that those who have held to ANY element of self-desire shall be confronted by this holy fire in such a way as to bring them to the point of an “absolute decision”—either for Me or against Me [My Will]. Truly I say to you, these are the days of holy fire—a fire that will both expose and consume ALL that is not in Christ [Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29].

This is a necessary judgment in the midst of My people if they are going to enter into the fullness of their true Kingdom-position and, thus, fulfill their precious destiny, in Christ. Do not allow yourself to be dismayed [disheartened] by the rampant emotionalism displayed by some for, in reality, you are simply My messenger—a plumb line dropped in the midst of My people, and there will be many who shall begin to hearken fully to the voice of My Spirit in this hour and, “suddenly”, they will turn and enter into the place that “I” have prepared for them [true spiritual environment]—a place wherein they will be continually edified by those who are wholly given to My Will and highest purposes.

Let the winds of adversity blow and the storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted. They may bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break. They, who are Mine have allowed Me to plant them near the river. Their roots go down deep, so deep that nothing can penetrate to their depth. They sway with the force of the storm, but they are easily up-righted. For they are rooted in My Word and they have stood the test of time. They are the great oaks and evergreens in My garden. When the heat of trials, tests and adversities come, they have found their shade of protection in My Word. These oaks and evergreens have been fruitful to all in My garden. Others take delight in their shade and in the sweet smell that comes from their leaves of life. The foxes and all the enemies of My garden are shocked by the incredible stamina of these great and powerful trees. They have learned how to use all the difficulties and adversities as fodder for their continued growth. My trees remain connected to Me, their source, I have received much glory from their obedient and yielded life. In the days that are coming upon the face of this earth, it will be My trees that will stand for Me and for righteousness and not be moved by what moves the world. Their trust is in Me and My faithfulness to them and in keeping My promises. Because they are deeply rooted in Me, they will rise with wisdom and insight for the days ahead, many of them will be like Joseph and Daniel. In times of difficulties, times of oppression, times of uncertainty and in challenging times, Joseph and Daniel received heavenly wisdom, knowledge, insight and revelation for their families as well as for their nations. I am giving to My trees of righteousness that same ability. One will receive a piece of the puzzle, another will receive their piece and still another their piece. My true people will come together and they will excel at this time as they learn how to be One, as I Am One with the Son and Precious Spirit. We are whole together. So shall My people come, each with his piece to make a whole. Stamping out their childish ways, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and a list of fleshly devices of separation. One as I long for you to be.
