My People, it really is TIME, it is “PEARL TIME.” I mean it, NOW IS THE TIME! Many have done well to manage all that has come through their lives, I AM well pleased with MY Faithful stewards. 

It is a new season, the season of the “PEARL.” The season of MY blessing and FAVOR!

The enemy will try to drag you down into hopelessness fear and doubt—just shake him off, STOMP HIS HEAD!

My word is my bond; if I said it, it is finished, BY MY BLOOD! YOUR HEARTS MUST BE FIXED TRUSTING IN ME, NO MATTER WHAT MAY COME!

“THE PEARL IS HERE.” YOU ARE COMING OFF THE ALTAR. I WILL PROVIDE THE RAM IN THE THICKET. I WILL RESTORE ALL THAT WAS STOLEN ... I AM JUST BEGINNING. I HAVE SPOKEN AND IT WILL NOT BE PROLONGED ANYMORE. I AM RESTORING THE YEARS OF THE LOCUSTS, CANKER WORM AND THE PALMER WORM. I AM SENDING YOU THE WINE, CORN AND OIL ... REJOICE AND BE GLAD YOU CHILDREN OF ZION!

“Everything is good, all is well, FEAR NOT MY PEOPLE, AND DO NOT DISMAY, OK!

“THE TIME HAS COME. THE SNARES WILL BE UNDONE AS satan’s STRONGHOLDS BEGIN TO FALL. CAN he STOP ME?!

“BE BOLD BE STRONG FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU. DOUBT NOT... DOUBT NOT, HOLD MY HAND. I HAVE A PLAN AND IT CANNOT BE STOPPED BY ANY MAN. KEEP YOUR HEART, MIND, WILL AND EMOTIONS FIXED UPON ME, AND YOU WILL SEE MY APPEARING!

“DO NOT FEAR ANY MAN. I will deal with fallen man. What is man but dust before ME? Ah ... but man is the fine dust that I LOVE, that I will visit and save.

“Avoid confrontation and vain disputes. The EARTH IS MINE AND EVERYTHING IN IT. I AM GIVING IT TO YOU EVEN AS I HAVE SAID. REST IN THIS FACT. IT IS FINISHED! Now we move ahead—FOLLOW ME!

“And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go, without turning as they went” – Ezekiel 1:12

This verse has really been highlighted to me lately, and the more I pondered this verse, the more I felt the Lord bring forth a challenge to His Church.

This verse in context was part of the vision God gave Ezekiel, but the very image portrayed in the verse above, I believe, is the Lord’s heart for His Bride today. Below is the word I felt came from the heart of God.

My beautiful Bride, I am calling you to keep your eyes firmly focused on me. Many of you are being distracted by what is happening in the world, in the economy, in the government, situations and circumstances in your own lives, pain you’re facing or turmoil of the heart.

I speak to you, My Bride, that I am calling you to stand with your faces straight forward, firm as a flint towards Me. Do not turn to the left or to the right but stand up strong with your eyes fixed on Me, seeking to know My heart more, to be deeper in relationship with Me, and do not sway.

My beautiful Church, how I long to continue to pour out My love into your midst and show you My delight in each of you.

Many of you have been walking in the darkness and trying to find your way out and have been feeling oppressed and wondering when the season will end.

I speak to you to examine your hearts to see if your hearts have been fear-full or peace-full. For many within My Church are now walking lives of tremendous fear, fear that has crippling consequences, and because of My great love for you, I long to set each of you free from that fear and lead you into the land of peace.

Many of you have storms around you like you have never felt before—the wind, the rain, the lightening and thunder seem louder and stronger than ever before, but I speak to you, that very soon shall your storm end. For I am using the storm to uproot fear from your lives and fill you with My peace.

In a vision, I saw a knife cutting away large chunks of something. What was that all about, Lord?

“I tell you truly, beloved, that I am doing a serious work in this hour, a work that will not only get the world’s attention, but My church’s attention, also.

“Know this: During this process much will change. Much will take on a totally new look, but the hand of the Almighty God will not fail in its endeavor to bring about His will, His will in the lives of those who have vowed to serve Him.

“I am a good God, a God of great mercy. The world does not understand My mercy. The world thinks that one should suffer in the face of all adversity that comes. The world looks on those who falter in this life with scorn. But I offer a helping hand to those who falter. I extend My hand in accordance with My will to bless, to aid in this life.

“For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: ‘Do not say, “A conspiracy,” concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. He will be as a sanctuary…’” Isaiah 8:11-14a

The underlying current in the world in which you live today is fear—and it is not only a fear that is permeating the “world” but it is grabbing hold of many in My Body as well. They may couch it in other terms, but the bottom line is far too many are beginning to operate from a place of fear rather than a place of faith. That breaks My heart, for it is in times like these that I desire to show Myself strong to My people and thus to the world.

Hear Me! This is not the time to allow the negative reports that you hear daily to become a part of your thought pattern and therefore the framework from which you base your behavior. Now and always you must govern your lives, your actions, your decisions on My word. You hear the words released by media, released by the “experts” and echoed and reechoed by those around you and many are allowing those words to drown out, to overshadow My word. Now is the time more than ever before to know what you know and live it out, walk it out no matter what is going on around you. Now is the time more than ever before that My children must be fortified with My Word. It must be a part of you. It must become your necessary food. It must be that which guides you! Be aware of the facts, don’t ignore the facts but don’t allow the facts to become stronger in you than My truth. The words I speak are truth and life!

I believe the financial crisis in the United States has a prophetic message and warning for the church. It is a simple one, but easy to miss. Here are a few prophetic points to ponder in understanding the times!

The Church Has Borrowed From The World

The world now realizes that the housing and stock markets have been driven more by credit than real wealth. The growth “balloon” is bursting. Unfortunately, the solution being offered is more borrowing. But the problem IS borrowing. This is a prophetic signs for the church!

For nearly two thousand years the church has borrowed from the world and we keep looking for new ways to build and grow the church. What do I mean? Simple. After Constantine the church adopted Roman institution and buildings, government dress and processionals, and Greek oratory and philosophy. While choirs and clergy robes may be out of sync today, we’ve certainly tried to keep up, with worship bands, feel good ministry and high tech presentation! In the last few decades it reached a frenzy! We’ve implemented ever more seeker-friendly methods and marketed ever more intense spiritual experiences with the hope of making it big with “THE Revival!”

This is not our true nature. Jesus is. What we’ve borrowed looks good, but the “fundamentals” are not sound. There is now a desperation and hunger to get back to Him!

[Excerpt: This important word came to Judy Bauman before the US elections, in which the Lord shares his heart about our unfaithfulness to continue to pray for those in power, whether we like them or not. By being critical and accusing instead of praying many in the Body have joined forces with the Enemy!]

I awoke hearing:

“Four years ago many were praying for G.W. Bush to be president, as they did four years before that.  There was an intense battle for both presidential races—as there is for this one.  I answered this

prayer, but the church did not stay faithful to pray and intercede for him.  Instead many have turned their ears to hear and believe the report of the enemy instead of My report. Many have joined their voices of dissatisfaction to that of the Accuser of the brethren instead coming to the Throne Room of Grace and receiving directives from Me.  By entertaining the Accuser, My church has inadvertently joined his forces. 

Violent measures have been taken by the enemy to destroy, not just deceive, the very elect. If you have been called by My name, I want you to hide within My secret place covered with the banner of My love. The power of My blood will keep you safe if you stay behind your shield of faith not looking at the fiery darts and even missiles of the evil one. For he is out to steal, kill and destroy, but I came to bring you life and life abundantly.

For this is the end of what some may call the latter days, and I am about to pour out My flood gates of glory upon those who have made themselves ready, and also at the same time I will pour out My great fury upon those who do not keep My commands. For I see the hearts of My people, and I know they are pure, but upon those who are the counterfeit great wrath will fall. For they see that they have the upper hand, and for a season they may have, but I will turn the tides and great judgment will fall upon those who have great pride in who they have risen to be, and even upon those who have supported them in their wickedness great judgment will fall.

For I will only allow this uprising for a season, and I will turn the tides, and My righteousness will prevail. So keep your eyes upon Me and know that I am faithful and sovereign over all things. All things will work together for the good in bringing forth My will and My kingdom in the land. Rest assured that I will keep you safe through the storm. I will cover you with the force field of My love. The glory upon you will blind the enemy.

The coming glory of the Lord God Almighty is nothing to take lightly. It is power. It is filled with great wonder, and those who participate in it will know the wonders of My grace in ways they have never experienced.

So I tell you, beloved, get ready for the most glorious. Get ready to stand straight and tall in the wonder of the hour, for it is sure to bring a gladness to your heart. It is sure to open your eyes to My truth in ways you have never seen it.

I have a mission, and it is to take My dear children home with Me. My mission is to rescue all who will come, all who will accept My grace, this gift of perfection that I so gladly offer. I look forward to the coming hour. I look forward to seeing all who will come manifest My goodwill toward others.

I heard the numbers 10-9-8 (10/09/08). Then I heard the words: “Countdown!” then: “I am sending revival. America, get ready. Church get ready for you are entering a season of many reversals, many unusual acts, and many surprises.

“For I am the Lord, that is my name and my glory I will not give to another. Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, former things have come to pass. And new things I declare. Before they spring forth I will tell you of them. (Isaiah 42:6-9) Many will say that the economy is failing. But I cannot fail. Do you not know that I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End... (Rev. 22 :13)

“Do you not believe that I can bring this nation to its destiny? For have I not always had a remnant in the earth? And so it is today. You are My witnesses, the ones I have chosen for this day and hour. The nations rage, the earth responds by shaking and shifting. But I Am the solid Rock that cannot be moved. Come to Me now. Let My people hide themselves in Me. For in yet a little while the shakings will continue. But you, my people, will stand strong in the mist of the upheavals. Know that it is a clashing between two kingdoms and that through praise, worship, and intercession, My light will break through the atmosphere.

In 2009 My House will fully align
For I have been synchronizing the weakened spine
Rendering evil for evil and good for good
Awakening the hearts to walk as they should

Wandering thoughts and wandering feet
No longer will roam the worldly avenues and streets
The deep will cry out for the very, very deep
Opening the fountains and the floods to worldwide sweep

Oh, the depth of the true riches which will be found from within
As My House fully sheds it’s old, weathered, tethered skin
Such a marvel and a wonder in the earth she will be
As the Life underneath rises and fully seals her true destiny!

Let the dust settle around you before you make a move. All that I have been doing is not yet evident and is not yet in the defining stage for you to yet move out upon. I have allowed the severe dislodging of much in your life to cause you to relinquish your hold on that which you formerly relied heavily upon. Your dependence upon your own perception of your surroundings and on your strengths have caused you to tire and to weaken in your faith and in your growth. So I allowed the instability and the dislodging of your perimeters to bring you into a place of change and of greater growth.

But you cannot make decisions based upon the things that are still passing away around you, I want you to wait upon Me. Let those things fully pass, as the reality of what I have accomplished becomes increasingly apparent each day, you will see it as the debris clear away. Too much running is occurring and not enough waiting upon Me. Walk maturely with Me and do not be quick to jump into things that have no clear stability. It is a time to move as I move, and not as you perceive them to be. This is a defining hour, and those who are wise, will set a watch and mark it well. I want you to take heed and to fully follow after Me.

While seeking the Lord for a message for His body, He gave me this picture and word. Considering all that is happening in the world right now I see how this is the Lord’s guidance for many groups of people—families, communities, churches, businesses, governments. I pray that the peace of Jesus will be in you and upon you.

John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Picture: I saw a ship in stormy waters. The storm was raging violently around it. Most of the passengers were in the cabins below—I could not tell what they were doing, but dim lights were on in the cabin windows. On deck however I could see the crew. They had moved from a place of being calm and in control to a state of panicked frenzy as they tried to take control of an out of control situation. There was fear, anger, panic, blame and accusation as they began to see the danger they were in. They felt like they were going to drown. People began to yell about whose fault it was that they were in stormy waters. I heard someone shout, “All hands on deck.” As everyone scrambled trying to do what they thought should be done to save their lives, everything looked even worse. They begin to bump into each other, knock each other down and it was a very disturbing sight.

You have been in one of the hardest spiritual battles of your life. It has all been a spiritual battle. You have been involved in spiritual warfare. That is the cause of your weariness – your exhaustion. You are doing the right things. You have on all the armor. You are carrying the sword. But you are retreating. You stand in a defensive stance and hold your weapons and shield while backing away from the enemy.

He has no power over you except what you give him. You are the victor through Christ Jesus. I have already won the victory for you. You need to face the enemy and command him to go. Let him know that you know that he is a liar and a pretender. You can walk unafraid right into the battlefield, because you carry the victory, you carry the authority of your God with you.

When you face the enemy and move out into the battle, the enemy will retreat! He knows you have the authority. He has no right, no ground to stand on. Chase him away with the Word of God and the power of My Spirit.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the Glory of the Lord is risen upon you!” Is 60:1

May the Grace of the Father and the Peace of His Son be released to you today through the power of Holy Spirit!

Dear friends,

Today I would like to share with you some practical applications of spiritual principles to our daily life. We are living in a specific season, and there is much going on in both the spirit realm and the earth realm. However, God has instructed us in His Word, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven...”

And so today, I will share what “seeking the Kingdom” translates to in terms of our daily life outlook.

We are currently in a season where our number one priority is yielding to God. Everything else that we do, all of the choices we need to make in response to the many situations that we will face, will be the correct choice, will result in the right outcome, if we first seek to yield to God in everything.

How do we do that? Well, it’s so straightforward that I almost missed it, because I was looking for something much more exotic.

The final countdown has begun.

About a month and a half ago, I had a short, serious dream one night after asking the Lord to speak to me. I originally e-mailed it out to close friends and then a few weeks ago the Lord told me to share it with etpv.org. I have gone to post it several times and each time got distracted by something else needing my attention and wasn’t able to do it. Then today, I was finally able to get it posted and was stunned when I realized the date was 10-9-08 (keep reading and you’ll understand why)! God’s timing is so perfect!

For two nights before having the dream, I felt very heavy about many trials that were coming all at once and wasn’t able to go to sleep till 2 or 3 am. During those hours I was praying, confessing sin and crying out to God for many people. It was a very intense couple of nights. Then after all of that, on the third night, I asked the Lord to please speak to me, and I had the following dream:

“I was in a house I didn’t recognize and immediately heard in the spirit that, ‘The final countdown has begun.’ Throughout the short dream, I was continuously walking along through the house, not fearful, but bracing myself for what was coming, knowing ‘it’ was going to happen at any moment.

“Then, all of a sudden, I looked up to the right and saw a HUGE red and orange fireball coming down from heaven and it came right through the roof! It landed in one of the rooms, but didn’t touch me. As I was walking through the house toward the room, I didn’t really want to see what had happened. As I passed by the room, a feeling of darkness came over me as I looked in. I wasn’t able to see much, but I could see where it had come down and I could only look at it for a second because I kept walking.

“The time is coming daughter, when ‘gung ho’ will mean more than you think. I need you and your friends to begin to train My troops, waste no time, spare not—blow the trumpet and begin to train them as soon as they arrive.

“Begin with where they want to be —not with where they are. Require higher standards of them than were required of you. Love them tenaciously, ferociously, and fervently. Demonstrate that unconditional love with acts of kindness, expressions of affection, and loyalty beyond family ties. Serve them, lead them and pour out your life for them even as you require that they do the same for you.

“Teach them first the laws of sowing and reaping. They will come to you because they see your harvest—let them know you earned it by sowing fruits of righteousness, and grace-filled acts of compassion—by being spirit-filled, spirit-led and spirit-driven.

What do we do if Christ-hating people attempt to take over our nations?

As I came into the presence of the Lord in the wee hours of the morning I saw this in the spirit.

“Invitation from the Spirit of Glory”

“Glory Just Around the Corner Reign with Christ and Live His Life”

My heart leaped for joy. Inside the invitation I saw these words,

“Invitation to Life of Persecution and Tribulation.”

My joyful thoughts were overtaken by an ominous threatening feeling and I found my soul recoiling and retreating. Fortunately the scripture that I had been meditating on for the past few days arose in my heart, “Jesus said, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” John 14:1 ...

Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!

A giant “Finance Tsunami” rushes upon us!

On the morning of the 11th July 2008, God gave me a vision in which a whole ammunition depot was blown up through a very small spark. ( I can send you a copy on request.)

And the Lord said to me, “Write it down quickly, and let all your friends know, so they will be warned, and not panic.”

The time has now come. Everything in the world has been turned upside down. We now receive new shocking reports on daily basis. The bank and real estate crises are far from over.

God showed me it would be blow after blow. Furthermore, He showed me that the whole world economy and all alliances, including church organisations, will collapse within like a pack of cards and disappear from the scene. No one wanted to know anything about them anymore. Everyone simply ran for his dear life. ...
