Scriptures given to me just prior to this word of the Lord:

Ezekiel3:1, 5-8¹Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and GO SPEAK UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. ... ⁵For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; ⁶Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. ⁷BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO THEE; FOR THEY WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: FOR ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE IMPUDENT AND HARDHEARTED. [author’s emphasis] ⁸Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

Ezekiel 16:1-2 ¹Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

Listen to Me O Church for the days are short and the night comes but you have grown weary of My admonishing you. Your ears have grown sodden with false doctrine of peace and safety, prosperity and a good life no matter what occurs in these days. Those that have entered the Holy of Holies, those who have come into the secret place of the Most High will lack no good thing in these rapidly growing dark days, but those still in the outer court will go through perilous times until they learn to DRINK DEEP of My Spirit and My Word. The blood of the martyrs will be as deep as a horse’s bridle, THAT IS WHAT IT WILL COST YOU IF YOU DON’T DRAW NEAR NOW.

You either draw near to Me now with all your hearts and will be protected under the shadow of My wing or you will go through tribulation such as the world has never known. You sit in your pews and your hearts have grown heavy with syrupy sweet words from the pulpit saying it will not be so with you for you are a child of God BUT HAVE YOU DONE WHAT I HAVE REQUIRED OF YOU, HAVE YOU DIED TO ALL YOUR OWN AGENDAS AND DESIRES? AM I STILL A GOD SOMEWHERE UP THERE WHO IS THERE JUST TO BLESS YOU; DOES NOT MY WORD HAVE CONDITIONS TO BEING BLESSED.

Grace and peace to you this day!

I have spent the better part of the weekend in quiet communion with the “still small voice” of God. I felt Him calling His people to that this weekend, and I calmed my normally frenetic schedule to accommodate that call. Much of what I had planned to do, I simply put on hold.

I would like to share with you, part of what I heard God speak to me as we spent time together. The wistfulness with which He spoke, the gentleness and intimacy as He drew near to me, let me know that our relationship with Him—“our” meaning, “His people,” is very much on His mind right now.

One of the things He spoke to me about was a concept that I will call “The Sovereignty of God.” He wasn’t trying to acquaint me with His sovereignty; all of us are aware that He is sovereign. “Sovereignty” is defined in Webster’s dictionary in part as follows: “Possessed of supreme power, having undisputed ascendancy, superlative in quality, supreme power, especially over a body politic.”

What God wanted to talk about was how His people have neglected to keep a proper perspective, a proper proportionality, if you will, between our concepts of His sovereignty, and our concepts of our power as beneficiaries of dominion authority.

What God said to me was this: “My people must increase their concept of My sovereignty to keep pace with their level of activity.”

Yesterday as I was spending time with the Lord, I asked about the steps forward, anything that He would show as we move ahead into what we cannot see. He spoke something very personal to me, and then I could see the glow of very bright lights and felt He said:

A few days ago while in prayer, I received a strong word from the Lord that caused a great burden with underlying streams of precious hope. The most significant message of modern time is coming forth from God unto His people today. There has never been a more crucial moment for the people on Planet Earth than now. God is speaking to those to whom He has given a voice to speak out to make a final plea, a last call to all peoples now.

God is calling ONE MORE TIME for the people of America and every nation of the world to turn to Him with their whole hearts—to turn from the foolish pride and lofty ways of man—to turn from denying the God that made them and rejecting the Lord who loves them—the one who has paid the price for their return to the life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

This is NOT a last call before Jesus returns. It is NOT a last call before the end of the world. This is a season of last call to the people in spiritual Babylon. This is a last call to people of every faith and non-faith, a call to all who are NOT seeking first the real kingdom of God and His righteousness. Many of which may be making a token investment in acknowledging God but live their lives according to their flesh and not after the Spirit of God. This is the last call for masses of people worldwide to come to God and repent of rejecting their savior and King, the Lord Jesus in the practical reality of their lives.

Massive deception is consuming the people of the world. False gods of false religions are rising in power while many of God’s people occupy themselves in pleasure-seeking and personal gain.

I was praying and asking God to help me distance myself from distractions so that I could be more effective in my time in His word and in prayer when He spoke this to me.

“The world around you is filled with distractions—many of My children do not spend time with Me at all but the cost to them will be great in the days coming for I shall pour out My judgment upon all those who do not seek to know Me or My Will for their lives. No longer shall I look on as they go their own way following their own plans but I will smite them with a curse until they turn their faces to Me in repentance!

“The days are quickly approaching when gross darkness shall cover the earth and men’s hearts shall be darkened. No more will they be able to turn to Me and choose My way for they will have worshiped their own way and I shall give them the fruits of it.

“This nation (USA) is no longer under My blessing but under a curse and those who have not chosen to know Me will soon feel My hand of judgment heavy upon them. Cry, My Children! Cry out for those you love! Weep and wail, mourn for the unrepentant hearts for souls are at stake! Cry out to Me for mercy for them for I am the only One who can save them from the flames of eternal damnation!

“Weep and wail for this lost nation for soon it shall drink from the cup of bitterness as I have ordained! Weep for it! Cry out for the unsaved for many shall perish in that hour! My fire falls on those who love Me and serve Me but a different fire is coming for the wicked and they know it not! I hold My own in the palm of My mighty hand to protect them but I shall pour out My anger on the wicked and unrepentant and my judgments are coming soon!

(Again the Lord gave me Ezekiel 33:7-11 and a travail of spirit came over me with weeping and rocking to and fro:

Ezekiel 33:7-11 ⁷So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. ⁸When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. ⁹Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. ¹⁰Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? ¹¹Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?)

Speak Lord for Your servant is listening.

“Tell My Beloveds that time is running out. Although many have said these words before and it has not come to pass, HOWEVER never before have all the signs given in My Word telling of My soon coming been so prevalent and all together. Some of My children think they still have time to play Church, to still have one foot in worldly pleasures and pursuits and one foot in Me. Does My Word not say THAT I WILL SPEW OUT THE LUKEWARM?”

I heard the LORD say:

“I am bringing in revelation that you have not had access to—revelation that has been waiting since the beginning of this cycle of faith that now encompasses you. I am bringing in wisdom for you and one word can fell your enemy. I am bringing a revelatory realm and a spiritual dimension that you have not known. This realm has come from heaven and entered into time. Now light will increase and revelation will come. The way you have been looking at My word will change and you will look and see new levels and facets. I have been working to get you positioned to see. I have been watching and waiting before I could contend with the enemy within. I have been waiting and now a moment has arrived.

“You have been bouncing to and fro, and your emotions have caused you to want to not let go, but now I AM piercing into your inner soul and there is a divine realignment occurring. Now even naturally where the enemy had created great warfare within you, I am contending and a natural healing and realignment is going on. Where you were striving to see healing and realignment, now a natural type of healing is occurring because My throne has come down in your midst.

“The headship of what you have been ruling against is falling. There is a bubbling that is beginning to arise. I had to wait for My people to have passion to conceive. The passion of conception had not fully entered into the realm of your inner being, but now I AM causing a bubbling and a passion to arise. I have brought heaven into the midst of the earth realm. Now the molecular structure around you will begin to change and things will begin to happen. You will see miracles!

Transferred Guilt

When church leaders serve the living Christ in love, aggressive faith, and prayerful humility, the people who live in harmony with their anointing become rich in the presence of God. Conversely, when a leader scandalizes a congregation by committing a major sin or is led into Christ-denying doctrinal deception, the heartache of his downfall is also absorbed into the perception and attitudes of those in relationship with him.

This precept, that a leader’s sin carries negative consequences, is seen in other positions of authority as well. Do you remember how you felt when you heard the details of former President Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky? Or consider the distress that crushes a family when a father or mother commits serious sin and ends up going to jail. Unless it is remedied, the impact of these events is similar to that of a curse upon one’s life.

The Bible speaks of God “visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me” (Ex. 20:5). The oppressive consequence of serious sin is actually passed from the fathers to the children, and then beyond from one generation to the next. This oppression must be discerned and atoned for, or it’s effect will work against us trans-generationally.

“Guilt on the People”

David ordered Joab to take a census of Israel. Joab begged the king, “Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?” (1 Chr 21:3 NIV). God forbade taking an unauthorized census. It could represent a shift in a leader’s heart from trusting God to trusting the strength and numbers of his people. David sinned, yet his actions brought “guilt on Israel,” and a plague struck killing tens of thousands.

I am revealing Myself to My Bride, like I revealed Myself to Jacob. He did not know that I was with him in a new and marvelous way until I showed Myself to him. I did that in a dream that revealed access into the Holy of Holies.

Now in this season, I am releasing a rhythmic movement of My Spirit, accompanied with life-altering power. You will understand My intentions towards you and you will advance as I reveal new things to you. You, My Bride, will advance out of comfort zones into new areas of ministry. Dreams and visions that you once held dear will spring into life again. You, My elect, will look into spiritual matters in a different light for I will again become to My Bride and be omnipresent with her.

You will recognize Holy Spirit’s unction, and your senses will be enlightened. You will become walking lamps, full of light through and through, and filled to overflowing. You will experience new understanding through Holy Spirit. You will have the assurance that I am everywhere at once, without exception!

Transcript of Prophetic Words given on Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Susan:

My Children, I am a God of great change, great change, great change. And I do not do things hidden, and I do not do things quietly. But I am bringing great change. When I set My People free from Egypt, I shook the nation. And that nation knew that I was a living God, when I dealt with them regarding My People, and their captivity. And I say to you, My Children, it’s the same today. The nations will know that I am the Living God, as I am dealing with the darkness in regards to My People’s captivity. And just as I touched the earth before, I am touching it again.

I have told you these days would come. I have prepared you and told you these things would come. For I am setting My People free. I am delivering My People who will walk with Me. And you are not to be afraid of the circumstances, or the battles, or the sicknesses, or the struggles, or the frustrations, or the obstacles, because I’m in them all. I’m in every one of them. Because in every one of them, I’m bringing breakthrough and deliverance. Because I am establishing who I am in the midst of everything. And I am making Myself known in the earth. And every man, and woman, and child will choose who they will serve.

I have already begun the shaking, but more quaking will come, and more eruptions will come, and more breaking will come. And more and more My Hand and My Rod will hit the ground, and more and more things will come forth. But it’s only because I am bringing My People forth. For I have a People in the earth who will walk with Me, who will bring in My harvest, who will align themselves with Me, and who will not walk after humanity. And I am freeing you of all the holds that have been constrained upon you, so that you can be free to go with Me, and to do those things that I have called you to do. Do not fear the things that will come. I am bringing them. You stand with Me. I am the one that equips you. I am the one that feeds you, and clothes you, and gives you your air everyday. I am the one that gives you breath everyday. I am the one that orders your day. Everything that is done in the earth, comes through My Hand. I am more than able to equip you for that day.

Now is the time of war My People, now is the time to stand up and fight against the principalities and powers that are sending many assignments and arrows against you.

Now is the time to take up your authority and stand firm, for situations and circumstances around you may seem unstable and uncertain, but I am the God of certainty. I am the God of promise, I am the God of truth, I am the God of salvation. I am the One upon whom you stand, I the Rock, upon which you will not be shaken.

Many of you have been hiding in false refuges. Many of you have been trying to seek comfort, consolation and strength from places that are not of Me. I speak to you My Church; I am your place of strength, your refuge and your fortress. Walk with me and run from evil, do not allow false refuges to be in your lives.

With much uncertainty, instability and fear plaguing many within My Church, it is absolutely crucial that you are all now TRULY learning to fight, not with fancy words or religious activities but with MY PRESENCE.

This is the time for you My Church to truly learn at a deeper level the meaning of being in My presence at all times, entertaining My presence and spending time knowing Me. Your intimacy with Me is your greatest weapon.

Last Friday while attending a home prayer group, the Lord gave me a vision and message which I would like to share as I know it is for the wider Body of Christ as well at this time. It came in two parts.

I saw a number of small sailing boats bobbing on an expanse of water. Their sails were full of wind and they were tied to the wooden jetty by strong ropes. The instruction came from the Lord that these ropes represented the things and people in our lives that give us security and peace of mind. The rope is made of many strands and secures the boat strongly to the shore so that the people in the boats feel safe. They are content to bob about and enjoy the shallow waters and the wind blowing in their hair. The Lord said that we all need to personally untie those ropes right now and stop putting our trust in the strands of that rope to give us safety and connection to solid ground. The wind of the Spirit is blowing stronger every day and unless we let go and once and for all place our trust in the Lord, we will not be able to travel to the deep places in God that He has charted for us. The time is past for bobbing in the shallows and placing our trust in material things, things tangible and measurable and countable, or in people. We must choose at this time to surrender to God’s will and the direction of the Holy Wind that is blowing. We must choose to let go of fear and embrace faith in our faithful God and not put our trust in the earthly any longer. The rope speaks of our desire to be in control of our circumstances and even our spiritual experiences. We can feel the wind and move about slightly but we are SAFE and know the parameters of the shallows and its depth. If we capsize, we can stand on our own two feet!

A word from the Father’s heart to yours: As In the Days of Noah

Come and sit and allow Me to renew your mind concerning the days that are ahead. [I have kept you sequestered for the most part so that you can hear My voice and not the voices of man in the church—whether in person, in the media or on the internet. So pay close attention as I teach you.]

Matthew wrote Jesus’ words:

Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:12-14

Child, the church will and already is growing cold with a great coldness. It is largely because they have embraced fiction as Scripture.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is not entertainment.

Every time My Son began a story with, “The Kingdom of God (heaven) is like.” He did not share a story of entertainment but of extremes. On one hand there is the one who comes to Me as a child, the one who waits with extra oil, the one who trusts in God, the one who reaps a harvest, the one who comes to the wedding banquet dressed by the King. On the other hand there is the one who has a millstone tied around his throat and is cast into the sea, those shut out of the kingdom, the one who trusts in riches, the one who squanders the seed, the one who refuses to dress appropriately for the wedding.

Some Keys to Avoid New Age and False Ministry Traps

The Purified Remnant Focused on Jesus

There is a purified holy “kingdom of God” people coming forth on earth. A remnant people focused on Jesus. A people who do not love their lives to the death. A people familiar with the cross and that are not ashamed to bear the marks of loving Jesus in their bodies and souls. A humble people so desperately in love with Jesus and so desiring to please their heavenly Father that there is no fear in them and no place for the enemy to get his hook in them. These people have died with Christ and now live as Christ lives within them. You won’t find them wearing two thousand dollar shoes nor living in luxurious mansions and clothed in excessive wealth taken from naive Christians. But you will find them with always enough of everything to complete the plan God has for them at the time.

Revelations 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word oftheir testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Thank God for the part that the church institutions and related schools have played in preserving the Word of God and the basic message of seeking salvation from sin and being born again by the Spirit. Many people are now moving on to the fuller revelation of the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus preached and taught. Receiving increased understanding of what Jesus meant when He said to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The transition is not always a smooth one as some move ahead of others and relationships change as a newf orerunner army comes into being.

Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

What is Grace? Many often think it is God’s permission to sin without being punished, but that is not exactly true. In fact, the word grace or charis, as used in the New Testament, has three or four different but similar meanings, which is one reason why there is little understanding of this miraculous source of power. Grace can mean kindness, or it can mean to give something freely that is undeserved, it can also mean the gift given, but when most commonly used by Paul it was the free gift of the power to be transformed that enabled him to live a life like Jesus, overcoming his normal human carnal nature. Without this empowerment, we cannot live overcoming lives as believers ... WITH IT we can overcome the trials of the entire fallen world.

In this short teaching you will learn what Grace is, why you need it, and where you can access it in your time of need.

Strength to win a battle

When you are in a battle and a certain kind of strength is needed to win, and you lack that strength, what does it look like as you fail that battle? Suppose the battle was one that you needed Love to win, and if you don’t have enough love to win that battle, you’d fail. What will it look like as you lose that battle? Or what if you are in a battle and to win you needed Joy, but you lacked the joy needed to overcome. What would that look like to fail such a battle? Not a pretty picture! Or what if you needed peace or patience to overcome a battle, which you didn’t have enough of at that time, and what if someone had a camera that followed you around and was going to record your struggle as you failed that test. What would they record with their camera as the circumstances surrounded you, attacked you and you slowly slipped into anger, rage, hopelessness, selfishness, ambition, revenge, pride, … and then whatever else you fell into to relieve your stress at your first failure … faking your victory by play acting (hypocrisy), hiding behind a mask of pride (self-righteousness) or less religious sins: drunkenness, lust, pornography, adultery, drug use, or the utter darkness of self abuse, suicide … and on the list goes.

Is this the kind of rare battle that only professional counselors, ministers or superheroes of the faith encounter? No, I think this is a scene from any of our lives.

I have an awesome revelation that I want to share with you this week. Do you know that whatever the devil tried to steal in your life whether it was your health, your finances, your mind, your peace or your family is the exact area that the Lord wants to use you in? Jesus not only wants to bring total restoration, healing and deliverance to you in every area of your life (which is His perfect will) but He wants to use you to liberate others from the same things that He has released you from.

2 Corinthians 1: 3 - 5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Some of you may feel like you were thrown in a pit like Joseph was. The Lord raised you up out of that pit so that you can rescue others out of their pit.

For those of you who have been bound in depression or tormented with fear. He wants to make you bold as a lion and He will release the oil of gladness to you so that you can also dispense it to others. For those of you who were healed of various sicknesses and diseases, He will use you to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

Even those of you that were delivered from drugs, alcohol or may have been in prison, Jesus had unshackled you to set other captives free. He is a righteous God who desires to use those who previously were winos to dispense the new wine of His Glory.

For those of you that have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and were involved in occult practices such as psychics, tarot card reading or things of the new age. He has awesome plans for you to be used in His Kingdom of light in a ministry of miracles, signs and wonders.

In Alone (http://www.etpv.org/2009/alone.html) Ansley Crabtree writes how the Lord revealed a long-term attack from the enemy, in trying to keep her alone and out of fellowship, resulted in her not being able to receive God’s blessings, which he told her are often given THROUGH the members of the Body.

Excerpt: We continued to pray for the understanding. I knew this dark angel was still there because the Lord had not dealt with it. The other morning I was praying about it and the Lord told me to ask him (the dark angel) what he was doing. I sometimes still get amazed that they have to actually answer me in the Lord’s name. He said I have kept you alone and whispered in your ear your whole life that you need no one. I have made you like being alone. Alone you are weak. It has been my job to keep you weak. If you can’t receive from others you will remain weak.

As I listened to him I became so angry because this is how I have been my whole life! Even when I was in high school I never wanted to marry or be around anybody when I got out on my own. I had visions of myself buying a small home deep in the country so I could be alone! I had the same desire when it came to my healing. I wanted no one involved. I wanted it to be just me and the Lord. Because of this I couldn’t receive my healing from my brethren. This dark angel or you could say an “angel of light” has deceived me my whole life. I thought all of his counsel was good. I realized this blanket or wall was where I was comfortable. I was alone and I was comfortable with it. My comfort zone was nothing but deceit.
