I started this post – the portion in red below – back on the 18th October 2011 and have felt to complete it – the portion in green below – starting on the 17th January 2012 and finally concluding today on the 25th January 2012 after a break in thought on this topic for a number of months…
There is a seriousness coming back to me which I have not felt since around the time I began this post which I feel I must now express…
I feel to just share how I see this and “throw it out there” to see how others see this and get confirmation from the Lord through the Body as to how the Body sees this…
I see what I am seeing as very sobering, more sobering than I ever envisaged when the Lord started speaking to me about these things not long after the 04th September 2010 earthquake in Christchurch…
I am seeing things which I have never before seen and am overwhelmed by what I am seeing…
I want confirmation from the Body that what I am seeing has been seen by others lest, as Paul said, I might be found to be “running in vain”…
If these things are what the Lord is saying then there is a huge implication for us all…
Love in the Lord,
Andrew
“Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants. And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor. The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word. The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. The new wine mourns, The vine decays, All the merry-hearted sigh. The gaiety of tambourines ceases, The noise of revelers stops, The gaiety of the harp ceases. They do not drink wine with song; Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that none may enter. There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine; All joy turns to gloom. The gaiety of the earth is banished. Desolation is left in the city And the gate is battered to ruins. For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over. They raise their voices, they shout for joy; They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the LORD. Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, The name of the LORD, the God of Israel, In the coastlands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,” But I say, “Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me! The treacherous deal treacherously, And the treacherous deal very treacherously.” Terror and pit and snare Confront you, O inhabitant of the earth. Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake. The earth is broken asunder, The earth is split through, The earth is shaken violently. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard And it totters like a shack, For its transgression is heavy upon it, And it will fall, never to rise again. So it will happen in that day, That the LORD will punish the host of heaven on high, And the kings of the earth on earth. They will be gathered together Like prisoners in the dungeon, And will be confined in prison; And after many days they will be punished. Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.” (Isaiah 24 NASB)
The Lord really highlighted the following verses of this chapter to me when I read it on Monday 17th October 2011…
“The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant.” (Isaiah 24:5 NASB)
They broke the everlasting covenant – this is not the nation of Israel which the Lord is speaking to but the nations of the world – God has made an everlasting covenant with the nations of the world which they have broken and in this chapter we see the results of breaking that everlasting covenant on the inhabitants of the earth…
“For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.” (Isaiah 24:13 NASB)
This scripture really reminded me of another scripture which the Lord brought to my attention earlier on in the year…
“Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.” (Psalm 46:8 NASB)
In fact this whole Psalm is relevant to the content of Isaiah 24…
“They raise their voices, they shout for joy; They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the LORD. Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, The name of the LORD, the God of Israel, In the coastlands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,” But I say, “Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me! The treacherous deal treacherously, And the treacherous deal very treacherously.” (Isaiah 24:14-16 NASB)
They cry out from the west – I believe to be a prophetic reference to America who has cried out – in generations past – of the Glory of God – in many great Revival outpourings throughout their land…
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, The name of the LORD, the God of Israel, In the coastlands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,” – I believe this to be a prophetic reference to what God is about to perform in the nation of New Zealand…
These scriptures go with another scripture which the Lord gave me some time ago…
“So they will fear the name of the LORD from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun…” (Isaiah 59:19a NASB)
In fact, again, the whole of Isaiah 59 relates to Isaiah 24…
We hear songs… But I say, “Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me! The treacherous deal treacherously, And the treacherous deal very treacherously.” – this relates to the response of Israel when she has seen the Revival which the Lord will undertake in the nation of New Zealand, she will look at herself and see that she is undone…
But this response of admitting her need will, I believe, bring her to repentance…
Similar to what Paul shares in Romans 11 regarding moving his fellow countrymen to jealousy…
“I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be! But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.” (Romans 11:11-16 NASB)
This repentance, I believe, is a forerunner to and thus precedes the final fulfilment, the final return of the House of Israel to the Lord (prophesied in Zecahariah 12 & Romans 11:26-27) at the time He “touches down” on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14) where “all Israel will be saved” and stay saved, I believe, throughout the entire one thousand year reign of Christ in Jerusalem (Isaiah 59:20-21) on the throne of “His father David” (Luke 1:32)…
“Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.” (Isaiah 62:11 NASB)
I believe that from New Zealand the call will go back to the daughter of Zion – a reminder that her Redeemer is soon returning and a call to prepare herself for her Bridegroom – which I believe she will – those who turn from transgression in Jacob – not the final fulfilment of that scripture (Isaiah 59:20-21) but the application of the truth of that scripture that those who will be delivered of the House of Israel at this time will be “those who turn from transgression in Jacob”…
Isaiah 24 ends with our great prophetic hope…
Which parallels the ending of Isaiah 59…
“A Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares the LORD. “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now and forever.” (Isaiah 59:20-21 NASB)
Isaiah 59:20 is quoted by Paul – by the Holy Spirit in Paul – in Romans 11:26…
“and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”” (Romans 11:26 NASB)
This is the final fulfilment – “and so all Israel will be saved” – when Jesus returns to earth…
“For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.” (Isaiah 24:23b NASB)
“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.” (Joel 2:32 NASB)
The interest I have – for the sake of this post – is not in the Lord’s final return to earth to reign but in the events which we can expect, according to the scripture in Isaiah 24 and other related scriptures, to see “played out” “before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come” (Joel 2:31b KJV)…
“‘A clamor has come to the end of the earth, Because the LORD has a controversy with the nations. He is entering into judgment with all flesh; As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 25:31 NASB)…
A clamor has come to the end of the earth – what could this event be which has been prophesied in this scripture?
“Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, evil is going forth From nation to nation, And a great storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth.” (Jeremiah 25:32 NASB)
What could this “evil” be and this “great storm”?
Again my mind turns to that scripture which the Lord gave me earlier last year…
“Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has wrought desolations in the earth.” (Psalm 46:8 NASB)
which continues…
“He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. “Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.” (Psalm 46:9-11 NASB)
The rest of the chapter, Jeremiah 25, continues…
“Those slain by the LORD on that day will be from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be lamented, gathered or buried; they will be like dung on the face of the ground. Wail, you shepherds, and cry; And wallow in ashes, you masters of the flock; For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions have come, And you will fall like a choice vessel. Flight will perish from the shepherds, And escape from the masters of the flock. Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds, And the wailing of the masters of the flock! For the LORD is destroying their pasture, And the peaceful folds are made silent Because of the fierce anger of the LORD. He has left His hiding place like the lion; For their land has become a horror Because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword And because of His fierce anger.” (Jeremiah 25:33-38 NASB)
The context of the above scriptures is that they will be fulfilled amongst “all the inhabitants of the earth” (Jeremiah 25:30b NASB) and I do not feel in my spirit that what is prophesied in these scriptures has yet come to pass…
Thus, I believe this scripture is still to come but I believe it is to come “before the great and terrible day of the LORD come”…
“Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.” (Isaiah 24:1 NASB)
I believe this scripture outlines how the Lord will complete the judgement outlined in the prophesy in Jeremiah 25…
I believe that the Lord Himself will lay waste and devastate the earth, distort the surface of the earth and scatter its inhabitants “before the great and terrible day of LORD come”…
I also believe that He will do this simultaneously to the outpouring of His Spirit upon all flesh…
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” (Joel 2:28-31 KJV)
The Lord Jesus told us…
“and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11 NASB)
and…
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” (Matthew 24:6-8 NASB)
These things – those things spoken of in Isaiah 24 & Jeremiah 25 – I believe to be “merely the beginning of birth pangs” and not part of “the great and terrible day of the LORD”…
I believe these things will happen simultaneously to Revival and will culminate in…
“For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.” (Habbakkuk 2:14 NASB)
“but indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD.” (Numbers 14:21 NASB)
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You.” (Psalm 22:27 NASB)
““Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “For the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal. For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the LORD, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.”” (Zephaniah 3:8-9 NASB)
“The LORD will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.” (Zephaniah 2:11 NASB)
““Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, ‘Only in the LORD are righteousness and strength.’ Men will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame. In the LORD all the offspring of Israel Will be justified and will glory.”” (Isaiah 45:22-25 NASB)
Haggai 2:6-7 really spoke to me yesterday…
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Haggai 2:6-7 KJV)
And I will shake all nations – wow!
And the Desire of all nations shall come – wow!
This shows me that before Jesus returns He is the Desire of all nations, i.e. people have come to know Him from all the nations of the earth and it sounds to me like this is not just a few from each nation but a significant number from each nation to label Jesus as “the Desire of all nations”…
My heart leaps when I read those scriptures…
It speaks to me of World Wide Revival…
It also speaks to me of World Wide Shaking…
Back to Isaiah 24:13…
“For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.” (Isaiah 24:13 NASB)
I have a mental picture of the Lord’s Hands literally shaking the trunk of an olive tree and the olives falling – He will shake the heavens and the earth, He will shake the sea and the dry land and He will shake all nations…
In the midst of this shaking…
“From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,”” (Isaiah 24:16a NASB)
And concurrent with the songs…
“Terror and pit and snare Confront you, O inhabitant of the earth.” (Isaiah 24:17 NASB)
The picture I’m getting is one of shaking (ongoing) and one of a response of praise in certain areas while others continue to deal treacherously…
The Lord is in complete control of this process…
It is His Judgement…
“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17 NASB)
We as the Church of the Living God are God’s Representative on earth – Judgement, Divine Judgement, must begin with us…
We are the reason why the world is the way it is…
We are the preservative of the world (salt), we are the conscience of the world (light) – if we observe wickedness in the world it is because we are not showing them the Way, the Truth & the Life – no one who beholds the Son will walk in darkness…
Judgement must begin with us so that we again can be salt and light to the world that the world may believe that the Father sent Jesus – God has always wanted the entire world to be saved – if we are showing them Jesus in our love for each other and in our unity Jesus Himself has told us that they will be…
“As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:18-23 NASB)
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You.” (Psalm 22:27 NASB)
““Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, ‘Only in the LORD are righteousness and strength.’ Men will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.” (Isaiah 45:22-24 NASB)
I see in these scriptures an incredible end-time harvest when the Church has become what the Lord has always wanted Her to be – Unified and filled with Love for all Her Members – the Body of Christ – I see salvation – true, biblical, heartfelt salvation – obeying the Gospel of God (1 Peter 4:17b)…
How will the Lord achieve this in His Church?
“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17 NASB)
“His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” (Matthew 3:12 NASB)
I see this as the time of harvest culminating with the wheat being gathered into the barn and the chaff being burnt up with unquenchable fire…
“For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.” (1 Corinthians 15:25 NASB)
“…I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” (Matthew 16:18b NASB)
I’m seeing this pretty “broad brush” and I’m seeing in some of the scriptures even between phrases that there are huge “lapses” in time between the outworking of various elements although some scriptures appear to “run together” in terms of their content…
Jesus said,
“Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:6b-8 NASB)
This tells me that there is a “gap” between this glorious outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the point in time when Jesus’ feet touch the Mount of Olives as when Jesus comes back to earth there is – in my opinion – no faith (or perhaps very little faith – maybe the ones protected in the desert?) to be found on earth but I believe the Church – that is all saved from all time up to that point in time (Jude 1:14) – will come back to earth with Jesus (Revelation 19) as part of the armies of heaven when Jesus’ feet touch the Mount of Olives right at the end – signifying “the great and terrible day of the Lord” when there is the great battle, the beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown alive into the lake of fire and brimstone and the devil is confined to the abyss for the thousand year reign of Christ on earth…
“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” (Jude 1:14 KJV)
“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:11 KJV)
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5 KJV)
All those of faith are sons of Abraham and will inherit the promise which the Lord made to Abraham in Genesis 15…
“Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.” (Galatians 3:7 NASB)
“For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20 NASB)
“remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.” (Ephesians 2:12-16 NASB)
So we see that all saints from all time whether they be Jew or Gentile – as Abraham was a Gentile when he received the promise of the land – will inherit the earth during the thousand year reign of Christ…
“But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.” (Romans 2:29 NASB)
Thus we Gentiles are “grafted in” and become part of Israel and the promises of God for Israel so we are part of “the camp of the saints” during the thousand year reign of Christ…
“And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.” (Revelation 20:9 NASB)
“Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.”” (Mark 10:29-30 NASB)
The thousand year reign of Christ on earth from Jerusalem is still “in the present age”…
I’m just “getting out” what I’ve been learning about these issues – but the specific point of this post is to address what the Lord is doing now or is about to do between now and the time when the Church – the Church on earth – “meets Him in air”…
I believe She meets Him as a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing…
“that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” (Ephesians 5:27 NASB)
I believe that after She departs earth “the love of many waxes cold”…
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12 KJV)
“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” (Proverbs 4:18 NIV)
Once the Church is removed from the earth after the Judgement of God is complete on the Household of God and after the Judgement of God has been felt on the inhabitants of earth the time of Jacob’s Trouble commences…
“Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.” (2 Thessalonians 5:5-10 NASB)
These are the things I feel to share…
I may not have it absolutely correct…
I am “putting out there” the way I see things and asking for correction from the Body if I am not seeing things the way the Lord reveals them in scripture or if I am presenting things which go contrary to the witness of the Holy Spirit or the Peace of God within…
I’m asking for someone to “show me the way of the Lord more perfectly”…
“And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” (Acts 18:26 KJV)
I believe we are living in days where God’s Judgement is about to be manifest on the earth – a real purging is about to take place in the House of God – we will see this and we will see salvation but “how can they escape who neglect so great a salvation” when the Presence of the Lord is Manifest through His Church on earth in the invitation of salvation which will be made to every creature under heaven?
And then the Lord will come…
Maranatha, even so come Lord Jesus…
Bless Your Name Lord Jesus…
Thank You Father, Thank You Holy Spirit…
Reign in the hearts of Your children – Your elect on this earth and let us be pleasing to You in all our ways…

“I am Faithful to My Word to protect those who trust in Me – even in death you will be protected by My Peace – My Peace will overflow you and you will have rest”, declares the Lord…
“As the enemy comes in like a flood I will raise up against him a Standard which will rout and destroy him in his works on earth”, declares the Lord…
“You will see this in your generation”…
“You will see this as you advance throughout the earth – you will see the destruction of the wicked and you will see the peace of those who put their trust in Me,” declares the Lord…
“Those who put their trust in Me will never be put to shame”…
“I am a Shield to all those who put their trust in Me”…
“Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord”…
I received the below word on the 07th February 2012 in the evening…
I hesitated to post it here because it was a personal word and I didn’t want to appear proud or as if I was “blowing my own trumpet”…
I’ve sensed that the Lord wants me to post it here and am now doing so…
“There is a continuation to the work which I am accomplishing in you”, declares the Lord…
“There is a continuation to the work which I am performing in you, deep within your heart”…
“I am rooting out evil, out of your heart and replacing it with My Nature as it is perfected in you”…
“I am filling a deep part of your life with My Presence, with My desires and My birthing of My righteousness deep within you”, declares the Lord…
“Stand still as the birthing progresses”…
“There will be deeper and deeper birthing until I fill you with everything which is holy and pleasing to My Name”…
“I will fill you with Myself, You will know Me as I intend you to know Me”…
“This Nation will know Me as I intend them to know Me, you will show them what it means to be consumed with the Fire of My Jealousy”…
“You and your wife and your children together will be consumed with the Fire of My Jealousy and all who behold you will see that what has been wrought in you has been wrought of Me”, declares the Lord…
“The days are not long until the time that I perform this transformation in you”, declares the Lord…
“When I come upon you you will run in the path of My Commands for there you will find your delight”, declares the Lord…
“You, your wife, your children and your grandchildren with you”, declares the Lord…
“My Spirit will be poured out upon you and you will be filled with My Spirit and you will do exploits”, declares the Lord…
“I will put My Spirit, the Power of My Holy Spirit upon you so that you can do the works which Jesus – My Son – would have you to do and I Myself will come and live in you and perform through you the works of Jesus – My Son – in you”…
“He will control your beings – you will not be in control of yourselves”…
“You will know Him and He will be in you and through you to the fullness of your salvation in that day”, declares the Lord…
“He will live through you and you will demonstrate Him to the world”, declares the Lord…
“The Unity of the Lord, Father, Son and Holy Spirit will be seen through you”, declares the Lord, “and I will Glory in what I have created in you, in that I am the One who has chosen you from the Nations of the earth to bear My Name to the Nations and to establish among the Nations a Praise to My Holy Name”…
“Many will come to see what I have created in you”, declares the Lord, “when the Fire of My Anointing fills you and you as a family serve Me in Unity and wholeness all the days of your lives”…
“You will be a testimony to many of My Faithfulness when I create My Image in your family and fill you with the Holy Spirit in the Fire of My Holiness and when My Anointing fills and overflows through you to all the Nations of the earth”…
“There is a call which I have on your lives to be One, to be united and to work together for the Glory of My Name”…
“My Name will be glorified through each of your children, each of them will Glorify Me”, declares the Lord, “when I come and fill each of them with My Holy Spirit, when I consume them with a Zeal for My Holiness,” declares the Lord…
“Your wife will be consumed with a Zeal for My Holiness and she will serve with you in all sincerity and humility, in a deep humility and “lifting up” of the work of God which I am completing through you as a family”…
“There will be deep humility and deep awe and deep reverence in your hearts towards Me”, declares the Lord…
“All of you together will be filled with the Reverential Fear of God as you serve Me together”, declares the Lord…
“When I come upon you it will be as if you have all been given the same mind, the same leading, the same sense or feel of my will and you will flow together and contribute to the whole which I am showing you, which I am revealing to you, you will meld together like one voice and be heard by Me as you supplicate before Me for the world, as I place on your hearts the things which are on My heart to pray for, I will be heard by you, by your family as you seek Me in unity”, declares the Lord…
“Great will be the power of your unity, great will be the power of your deliverance”, declares the Lord…
“You will be delivered and you will serve Me with purity of heart all the days of your lives”, declares the Lord…
“I will draw to you all those whom I have planned to be blessed by what I accomplish in you, I will draw to you those who see what you see and understand what you understand, who hear what you hear and know what you know as coming from the Spirit Himself as He speaks to you through My Word”, declares the Lord…
“There will be a great outpouring of knowledge and revelation knowledge in the knowledge of Me”, declares the Lord…
“You will know Me as you have never known Me before”, declares the Lord, “in an intimacy with Me which you have never known before, because you have believed My word that I will perform this in your family”, declares the Lord, “I will bless you above all others in the abundance of revelation and outpouring of My Spirit which I will pour out on you and upon your family at this point in time”, declares the Lord…
“All of you will know Me from the least to the greatest”, declares the Lord, “all the members of your family”, declares the Lord, “including their partners as they in time marry will know Me and share this Anointing”, declares the Lord, “as you serve Me together in the fullness of time I will complete this”, declares the Lord…
“You will move in the power of My Anointing and wherever you may go I will be with you”, declares the Lord…
“I will provide for you and for your entire family as you move together in My will”, declares the Lord…
“As you move together to complete the works which I have planned for you to walk in as you walk as one in the Fire of My Anointing”…
“Great will be the Fire of My Anointing and you will walk in it”…
“It will not stop but continue until I have accomplished everything which I have spoken to you that I will accomplish”, declares the Lord…
“Nothing will be left undone”…
“Nothing will be left unaccomplished”…
“I will be Glorified in you and you will honour Me in all your ways”, declares the Lord…
“This is My doing and it is Marvellous in My Eyes”, declares the Lord…
“Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord”…
Yes Lord…
I am overwhelmed by this word Father but You are teaching me to speak to You before men as if there was no one listening and I was speaking directly to You…
You have promised these things to me before and I have believed them but I have doubted…
You know what happened the morning of the evening You gave me this word – that I came before You and ‘demanded’ – like Jacob I suppose (but probably not so ‘pretty’ in the way I worded it) – answers – knowing that I would believe what You told me but wanting to make absolutely sure that what You had said You really meant – and that it was after this that You gave me this word…
I am humbled by this word…
I repent for caring what men thinks of me…
It is irrelevant what men think of me, what You think of me is what matters…
I am blind to everything that You have not yet revealed to me, I know ‘snippets’ and that’s about it – I know what You have revealed to me…
Everything in the word above I receive Lord, I receive it as Your word to me, Your personal word to me of what You will achieve in my life and in the life of my family…
I worship You for the good plan that You have for my family and worship You that we can serve You – know You – experience You – together as You take us wherever You want to take us…
We are nothing but what You have made us – the parts that remain in us which are not pleasing to You – dry them up and set them on fire and let them be consumed and removed from us – the root of the tree along with its fruit…
Let us be – as You have said we will be – consumed by the Fire of Your Jealousy…
Be Jealous over us Lord – let nothing remain which does not please You…
Nothing…
Consume us with the Fire of Your Jealousy…
As Rees Howells experienced and as Smith Wigglesworth experienced and as others have experienced before, let us experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and with Fire where You literally fill us and we ‘cease to exist’ in a practical sense and You live through us…
This is my prayer and this is what You have promised me and my family – I receive it Lord – I receive it by faith…
Nothing in Your word to me will fail – You will accomplish everything You have said concerning me and my family – I believe You Lord – I choose to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord as I ‘get on’ with life as You have placed it before me…
I will ‘get on’ and trust You to accomplish Your word to me and to My family…
Please help me, no, please enable me to ‘get on’ and trust You cos I can’t do that without You as I can’t believe Your word to me without You either, Please help me, no, enable me Lord, carry me Lord…
Do not lead me into temptation but deliver me from evil…
Empower me with faith and my whole family right down to the grandchildren…
Thank You Jesus…
Love You Lord,
Thank You for Your Faithfulness…
I do not deserve Your Faithfulness to me outside of the Blood of Jesus and outside of Your Sovereign Choice to have Mercy upon me…
Be with me and my family today and give us Your Peace in the Mighty Name of Jesus,
Thank You Lord,
Andrew
About 25 years ago I experienced a vision in Church one evening – It was the world, suspended in space,such breathtaking colour, contrasting with the darkness of space all about which was ‘dotted’ with silver stars. As I gazed in wonder at this sight, the earth began to totter or dip to one side and then the other, like a ball bobbing on rippled water. Then the stars began to melt, or drip from space like tinsel falling from a Christmas tree,or falling leaves.
I was not given any understanding as to what it signified – why I was shown it – but I remembered the scriptures speaking of the earth ‘swaying like a hut’. It made me think of end times. The scriptures have so much to say. I have tried to put them into some perspective, but now that the end draws nearer, according to the signs, I find I am content to watch and pray, confident that the Lord will reveal His purpose as things develop. We will not be caught unawares if we are watching, but not distracted by a scenario of our own understanding or making. We need to be careful not to make up our own minds how things will be, but be aware of the possibilities.
As always, I believe Israel is our time- piece. I am aware that Israel is prepared to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran any month now ,commencing the war of ‘Gog and Magog’ as foretold in Ezekiel Ch 38 & 39. That will have global implications. I therefore pray for Israel – for her guidance and protection and that America will do the right thing by her. I pray for forgiveness for the attitude reflected by our own Government towards Israel , and all the Governments of the world. Israel stands seemingly alone, but the ‘God of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps’. What can we do but draw near to God and listen and above all, obey what He tells us.
I have shared with Andrew before what I believe concerning the Revival which is coming, despite the’ nay-sayers’ who say ‘God will not’ but have formed opinions not based on what God is saying but what they have decided for themselves. I believe Judgement is coming , but so is Revival and we can choose our side in this , for ‘the just will live by faith’.
Father, I am waiting…
Father, I am waiting…
Father, I am waiting for You to make Your Name a Praise in all the earth…
All around me Father is wickedness…
I also see wickedness remaining in my own heart…
My old heart…
All around me Father wickedness prevails…
I am not happy with what I see…
I do not enjoy living in this world of sin and wickedness…
I want to come away from this world and live with You in that Place which You have prepared for me which is pure and holy and where no evil exists…
I know that this is not going to occur – not right now – not for a number of years for me…
I have no one who I can really “connect with” on this planet, who really “gets me” and understands what I am going through…
There is no one but You Lord who “gets me” on this planet…
I am in Your Hands…
Do with me whatever seems fitting in Your Sight…
I am not my own, I am Yours…
Glorify Your Name in all the earth…
Nothing holds any joy for me…
My life doesn’t hold any joy, my work (although very interesting) doesn’t hold any joy, my interactions with other human beings doesn’t hold any joy, there is nothing in my life which holds any joy…
Nothing in my life except for my experiences of You…
When You come close, when You Speak to me, when I feel Your Presence with me – that has meaning to me…
When I see You through one of Your own – that has meaning for me…
I want that Lord…
More of that…
More of Your Presence…
More of Your Righteousness…
More of Your Joy…
More of Your Peace…
More of Your Power…
More of Your Presence…
Repel the presence of darkness from me Lord and let me experience the Presence of Your Peace…
Your Fullness in me…
Let me experience the Fullness of God in myself…
The Fullness of the Godhead dwelling in me as You say in Your Word that You Father will come and live in me and Jesus and the Holy Spirit – this is what I want to experience for the rest of my life on earth…
Sex is empty…
Food is empty…
Drink is empty…
Sleep is empty…
Work is empty…
Being warm is empty…
Being cold is empty…
Wearing certain clothes is empty…
Looking a certain way is empty…
Everything is empty – I feel like Solomon here – without You Lord…
I’m just sharing with You my heart Lord…
I am empty – nothing fulfils me…
Nothing…
I am waiting for You to fill me with Yourself…
Nothing has any meaning to me – including knowing what You are going to do in the future – unless I have Your Presence filling me and unless You Live through me for Your Own Glory…
Anything of me is ridiculous…
It is empty…
And it is flawed…
It is useless…
And it is inappropriate for public consumption…
It is altogether useless and unfit for anyone to put up with…
Fill me with Yourself Lord, I must have You Living through me…
I must have You Living through me or I will truly have nothing to live for…
Come Lord Jesus, Fill me with Yourself, Fill me with Your Presence, I am waiting for You to come…
I am waiting for You to fill me…
I am waiting for You to consume what remains of me and take over and Live the rest of this life through this body on this earth for Your Glory…
I am ready for You to come…
I am ready for Your to take over…
I am ready for You to remove the rest of me and Live through me for the rest of my life…
Come Lord Jesus and take Your Place in my heart…
Take Your Place in my heart and Live through me…
Live through me…
Thank You Lord…
