What Would "The Prophets" Say?
MARY KOONS WATTENFORD
And what would the prophets say? If I spoke TRUTH to some
of them - would they LISTEN? Or would they hear only what
they WANT to hear? Would they speak forth righteousness
and holiness before this generation? Would they tell of
the deeds done by the prophets of old? WOULD THEY TELL
YOU THE "END" FROM THE "BEGINNING?" TRUTH must come unto
My temples…. For if NO TRUTH is found - than the "Temple"
is NOT of Me. If error exists it is because they have not
allowed My Spirit within them to correct them…. they have
turned aside and gone their own way.
False prophets and prophecies abound in this hour…..why?
you ask? Because men choose to follow that which "looks"
right. Remember Samuel and the sons of Jesse? Men will
follow that which is clothed in their OWN rhema. My RHEMA
is TRUTH….. MY LOGOS IS TRUTH. TOGETHER THEY REVEAL TO
MY CHILDREN - "WHO" I AM…. For I AM SPIRIT - and "ONLY"
SPIRIT can reveal SPIRIT. Go back to basics - go BACK to
the Cross. Error is only found when your eyes are OFF of
what was accomplished there for you - and try to
accomplish the task YOURSELF.
A false prophet will not attempt to correct, to chasten,
to teach, to edify, to exhort - unless there is something
in it for him. He is no different than the money
changers. They sold a product. A false prophets
"product" is what he is selling…..truth has no place in
him and he is of his father and NOT MINE. They STILL
say, "Peace, Peace!", but there is no peace for they have
whitewashed the walls and My people listen to their words
and feel at ease and in comfort. GO BACK TO BASICS MY
CHILDREN!
I know nothing, except of Christ, and HIM CRUCIFIED…
Resurrected again on the THIRD DAY…. Ascended unto glory
who lives to make intercession for YOU. What I suffered -
I suffered gladly…. How many of My children "suffer
gladly" in this hour? How many are really seeking ME and
not a wolf in sheep's clothing to lead them "beside the
still waters?" If I came into their "sanctuaries" would
they KNOW ME? RECOGNIZE ME? WORSHIP ME? Or would they
turn away and keep their eyes peeled to the man behind the
pulpit? Does he teach MY TRUTH or does he "tickle their
ears?" Where is the warm glow of My Spirit? Where is
the FIRE of My countenance? Where is the POWER OF MY
GOD?

True Humility
Dave Howe
With true humility comes the anointing - With true humility comes true spiritual authority - The authority of the Lord.
You can have the gift of prophecy - Healing and so on - But if you do not have humility of the Lord - The humility of the cross you will not
have true authority - The true anointing that comes with real true humility.
The church needs to recover this and get on its knees - To repent of using the worlds way of doing things - Repent of doing things by fleshly
authority.
We do not have to be in any position in the church to have this authority - Anointing.
Just look at how Jesus did things and you will know how this authority - Anointing works.
Before honour comes humility.

Redeemed Company
Bill Burns
Is it not written that I would raise
up a company, and out of Zion would go the word of the
Lord--out would go the truth of God, the justice of God,
the power of God? Is there not a redeemed company who will
come out of Zion who will proclaim My word and declare My
justice in the land? Will they not rule in the midst of
their enemies? Have I not prepared for them a table in the
midst of their enemies? Is it not written that I would be
with you until the end of the age? I say this day, fear
not for I am with you. I am going before you and following
behind you to confirm the word with signs and wonders
following. You might ask, "Why is it now?" I would say
simply because it is time! Due season has fallen upon My
people. Behold, a new morning comes forth from the womb of
the dawning of a new day. That radiant light of Christ
shall now be multiplied within you. It will bring light
and shine on the inner darkness of your soul and cause
perfection to spring forth by the hand of the One who
rules over you. I am preparing a people now to walk in the
light, to walk in the glory, to live in Zion, My glorious
city!

GOD'S PLAN FOR HIS REMNANT CHURCH
RC
The living God has a plan for His remnant church. He has chosen
you who obey to come and follow Him. First, He calls you to arise
and rally to Him. He will heal you, purify you, and prepare you
for war.
He will heal you, for you have been sick in spirit; wounded from
the accusations, rejection, and condemnation that you have
suffered in the disobedient church. Jesus will purify you from the
ungodly doctrines that are rampant in the church today.
Then, He will call upon you to warn the fallen church of His
impending judgment. You must come out of these churches, for
you no longer have any place in them. The enemy, and the church
which is under His judgment, will accuse and condemn you
because of this exodus. Jesus will assure you, through His Holy
Spirit, that this is His will. He is trustworthy.
He calls you to seek Him, and to wait on Him. His promise is to
those who obey; He will link His remnant army together. He will
do this through His Holy Spirit. This has already begun.
Then, filled with His power, and evidence of the Holy Spirit going
before you, you will nail the warning of His judgment on the doors
of the fallen church. The church must repent for He is about to spit
them out of His mouth, and to cast them from His presence. They
are on the threshold of the great separation of tares and wheat.
The Lord thunders at the head of His army. He must prepare and
train this army for battle. He requires its members to be obedient,
to have faith, courage and trust.
How can Jesus lead and direct an army which will not obey His
commands? Remnant, be of one mind, through the Holy Spirit, to
be as obedient children waiting on Him. He will decide the
direction His army will take.
Jesus desires an army who walks by faith. You must be willing to
step into the Jordan River before you see the waters roll back. You
must enter into trusting Jesus. He is able to keep you from falling.
The living God sees a lack of courage in his remnant. You lack in
boldness. You fear the enemy and his deceptions. Does the creation
have more power than its Creator? Does Satan have more power
than the King of kings?
The enemy can do nothing that God has not allowed. Remember
Job. Satan needed God's permission to come against Job.
Everything that the enemy took, God restored. He will restore His
relationship with His remnant, to that which He had with Adam.
Remnant church, army of the living God, don't keep looking over
your shoulder, fearful that the enemy might deceive you. Trust
Jesus and look to Him. He is the author and finisher of your faith.
Our enemy cannot go past the boundaries set by Jesus, just as the
sea cannot go past the boundaries which are governed by His will.
Jesus will protect all who place their trust in Him. He is not
willing to leave His remnant in the church which is being judged
by Him. He will not fail you. He will prepare a table for us in the
presence of the enemy.
His call is to you, His remnant who trust in Him. The remnant is
the army of the living God. The purpose of the remnant is to
BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION, SOUND THE ALARM ON HIS
HOLY HILL.
"Whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our
God will fight for us."

You are not passed by but you are in His will. You've readied yourself in

Practice, practice, practice has now proven a valuable tool for you. For to
cross over into the Jordan is to cross over into the land of the giants.
Which city would you like to take? Which area would you like to possess?
Finally My saints GO! Go with the glory of God. Go with excitement and
hope inside your heart that you are not marching alone but you are assembled
with a mighty army positionally lined up, accurately hearing Him, encouraged
in your faith by the testimony of your friends. Yes, it is time for new
relationships to occur. It is time to see the big picture. So look up for
your salvations drawing neigh. It is a time to go! To go for His gold, for
as you do you are going to establish and build His Kingdom and God is going
to go with you.
Intercessors For Jesus Ministries
2001 - Year of the Teams
Dave Howe
For no longer shall my ministries be as lone rangers - But shall work as a Team for the building up of my body unto perfection.
No longer shall the singer be alone but shall blend in with the band - For they will sing in harmony with the choir - Their voices blending with
each other in harmony.
For where my people come together in unity - The oil will flow - For I will command a blessing says the Lord.
For all the instruments in the band have to be in tune with each other to play the Song of the Lord.
Those that still want to play their own song I will put aside for a season of repentance until they are ready to be molded into what I wish them
to be - For if one instrument is out of tune with the rest of the band - Then the whole band will sound out of tune.
For I have given some to be apostles - Some to be prophets - Some to be evangelists - Some to be pastors - Some to be teachers - All given for
the building up of my body unto perfection until I come - Given for the work of ministry.
For when all are in tune with each other then we shall no longer be tossed backward and forwards by the waves of the sea - No longer be blown
around by storms of this world - For we would have truly built our house on the rock of the Word and not on the sands of man.
I hear the sound of music reaching into heavanlies - Reaching the ear of the Lord - For what a beautiful sound it is when his singers sing in
harmony - When all the instruments play in tune - When the Song of the Lord comes forth upon the earth.
When each part of my body does its work in unity with the others says the Lord.

APPLES OF GOLD IN SETTINGS OF SILVER
Stephen Hanson
PS 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by
the breath of his mouth.
PR 15:23 A man finds joy in giving an apt reply-- and how good is a timely
word!
JOB 12:11 Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
"Out of the fullness of my Spirit I have blessed many of you with my
words--words that have been formed in my Father's heart."
"In this life, words can hurt or destroy. Consider how things are said to a
young child. Words are like arrows or they are like the caresses of a
young mother. How can these happen, you might say? Over time they can
wound or they can build-up. Seek to build-up my body, those of you who
speak my words."
"There are things truly, that need to be "torn down." The pride and the
arrogance of man needs to be brought low. Surely, I have no place for the
traditions of man, but I would have you to speak things that are fresh and
alive. This world, and all that is in it, were formed by Me speaking them
into existence. The stars were formed, as well as the sun and moon. Man
was formed out of the dust of this earth and I "breathed" into him the
breath of life. That same Spirit now resides in you. Consider then the
majesty and power in the words that you speak.
(The Lord showed me a scene where a gavel was ready to come down upon a
bench, as in a court room. The words that would be pronounced would be
important and long-lasting. The gavel sealed the pronouncement upon those
who heard its decree. I then saw a king who was sitting upon a throne. It
was red velvet and someone came with a child and its fate was to be decided.
It seemed to be the situation where two women were deciding upon the fate of
a child, and Solomon gave his decision for the child. Then the Lord showed
me a chest which had jewels in it. Pearls were brought out as well as other
gems. He then said, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings
of silver." Again, I was shown a basket of fruit; golden-green apples were
laid in this basket upon a long table with a lace tablecloth. They were set
there perfectly upon this table and were all in order. At the other end of
the table was another plate of either fruit or meat. It was dark and seemed
to be burnt and was colorless. I looked at it and it slowly dissolved and
went out of view at the opposite end of the table.)
"Words that are fitly spoken, are like settings of silver, but words can
also come from another Spirit as well. They can kill and destroy. Let
the words of your mouth be like apples of gold in settings of silver."

Apostolic and Prophetic Streams
John Kempf
The first chapter in the book of Revelation tells us about the Apostle John
and his banishment or exile to the Island of Patmos (Rev 1:9). While on
Patmos, John receives a prophetic word, which includes a prophetic timeline
concerning the unfolding of the inevitable cataclysmic events that will come
upon the earth (Revelation 1:2-3, 1:19).
In fact, concerning the prophetic anointing upon John, the very opening
verse of Revelation speaks of, "the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God
gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place. And He
sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to
the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he
saw" (Revelation 1:1-2).
And of course, anyone who reads the book of Revelation in totality realizes
that its core message certainly is prophetic in tone and nature.
However, the interesting thing is that John simultaneously ministers
apostolically in the book of Revelation. By that I mean that John writes in
a manner that brings comfort and stability to the church as it prepares to
see, and perhaps to some extent, even experience the unfolding of the end
times.
The message of John is apostolic in that he speaks of the faithfulness of
Christ, the Sovereignty of Christ, the love of Christ, and of the salvation
that is in Christ (Revelation 1:5). Ministering on such fundamental
principles brings strong assurance and unshakable conviction to the church
in times of any adversity that it may either see and/or experience. And such
undergirding is a prime extension and expression of apostolic ministry.
Apostolic undergirding and strengthening is evident when the Apostle Paul
and Barnabas came back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. The scripture says
that they strengthened the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to
continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter
the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:21-22). In the midst of hardship, the
apostolic dimension kicked in and ministered to the church in a way that
facilitated determined perseverance. Turing our attention back to the
apostle John and the book of Revelation, we see the same thing.
John speaks not only of coming tribulation by warning his readers, "...woe
to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to
you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time"
(Revelation 12:12), but he also reminds the church that Jesus is "Alpha and
the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was
and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8).
One crucial ministry thrust of apostolic ministry is to consistently and
relentlessly communicate the fact that Christ is Sovereign, regardless of
the circumstances the church may be confronted by, thus John's powerful and
stabilizing apostolic message reminds the church that it has nothing to fear
(Rev 1:17), because Jesus, the First and the Last," the One that lives, and
was dead is alive forevermore (18). The apostolic undertone of John's
prophetic word establishes the church in boldness because Christ holds
church leadership (the stars) securely in His right hand, which symbolizes
power (Rev 1:20, Cf. John 10:27-30). Moreover, the apostolic word brings
comfort by assuring the church that its Head, the Lord Jesus Christ, walks
in its very midst (Rev 2:1).
I have a great deal more to write about concerning the stream of the
apostolic and prophetic flowing together more and more in the coming year
(2001). This new year will usher in a powerful bonding of the apostolic and
prophetic not only in terms of apostles and prophets working together, but
even in terms of those two diverse streams merging in the ministry of
individual ministers!
After all, notice that Paul, speaking of his calling, said that he was
appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher (1 Timothy 2:7). I only
point that out to illustrate that Paul did not flow singularly in the
apostolic ministry but was used of God according to the good pleasure of His
will. Amen.
