Circle the Wagons

Tony Black

Plans are established by counsel; by wise counsel wage war". (Prov 20:18)

Concerning prophecy, I feel as though I have been in the desert for many months, perhaps years. How about you? I even reached the point where I was telling folks "I used to be quite prophetic, but that season passed".

Praise the Lord, it seems a new season has begun, and I'm sure it has for you too, or just about to. Something is "shifting" in the heavenlies, and I'd like to share a word that has been confirmed by many others seeing the same things.

The pictures I have are of a Round Table and of a Circle of Wagons (as in the old West). I believe it primarily a word for "leaders" and that the Lord is saying this:

"It is time to circle the wagons, time for a Counsel of War...

I say to you today there is a unity coming to the Body such as you have never seen before. It is a unity that I will supernaturally empower, despite your weaknesses and contrary to what you deserve. It is a unity that comes out of brokenness and humility, and one that will surely invoke my blessing. Blessed are those who, as though a beggar, are completely reliant on me, for to them belongs the Kingdom of heaven.

For many, the season of shaking is past. The new season will open the floodgates of my power in ways that you have not yet seen in your generation. You have longed for these days. If you heed my voice I tell you they are upon you. But first you must come to the Table of Unity.

And when you come, I counsel you to leave your insignia and titles behind. For I will speak in new ways. Ways that will surprise many. Ways that will humble the proud and bring confidence to the humble. Listen carefully for my voice, for I will speak to you through one another, from the least to the greatest.

In this way I will teach you how to honour one another, to learn from one another, and to stand alongside one another. For it is my Church, my Body, my Bride, and my Army. My army will march in unison, and at my command alone.

I am your Master and the only true Shepherd. I am your Father and the only true Father. I am your leader and the only true leader. No man can take my place. No man can create my strategy. No man will lead this war. No man will take control.

I will do it all. You will follow me. But not alone. Together. And if I you see you alone alongside me on the battlefield I shall ask you...

"Where is your brother?"

Thus, I command you this day to come to the table, equal amongst your brethren, and together by wise counsel you will wage war…

Your Formation

Undrai Fizer

God is steadily unfolding His wisdom to His people as something is beginning to happen in the realm of the Spirit (in the realms of the Spirit, things have been done and completed, already). People that we have met and places that we have visited (some seemingly by accident) are starting to "make sense" now. God's purposes are coming together.

Things that happened three, five, and even seven years ago (even longer) that did not make sense to us, are starting to develop into a powerful world of ministry. We are starting to see God's promises revealed. That is why we must continually watch our attitude and our inner soul and keep them from unbelief and bitterness.

The pieces of the puzzle are starting to form a picture of wholeness. We are starting to identify the picture, even before it is fully completed. We are finding out that God is powerful and knows everything!

There is the "shift of Joseph" going on in the earth. (The sovereign, development of Joseph's life from being sold into slavery to being a ruler in Egypt. He was "sent" to save his family of a famine not yet seen. He also had to interpret the dream that would eventually position him for the palace). Gen.41:1-39; 45:1-7. The spirit and anointing of that experience are being revealed and lived out by God's prophetic people in this season!

God desires for us to fully guard our hearts in the process of timing. You never know when you will discover the keys to the door of your dream, that are hidden in another person's need, and position yourself for God's destiny. (Joseph had to interpret the Pharaoh's dream to be released to the palace and later save his family)

You must take advantage of every meeting, every situation and circumstance and see where they fit in God's will for your life. The word that was spoken in your life must now become the "reference book" of your existence. You have no room for bitterness and unforgiveness.

You also must realize that you are the only person that really knows what the Father has said to you and others will not and cannot fathom the experiences that you must go through to finish the course set before you.

We are all a part of one another's process of growth and development. We are all a part of someone else's word of promise and fight for destiny. So it is imperative to love and keep yourself pure and innocent of slander and distrust. You never know when you will come in "full circle" with your anointing and ministry.

Everything that God spoken into your life will come together. Even if that promise takes you across the world or across the street, the promise will be fulfilled.

Keep making acquaintances. Keep making friends.

Harvest Time Is Short
by Bobby Conner

"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it" (Amos 9:13).

Somewhere between Moscow and Vienna, I was standing in the aisle of an airplane 33,000 feet above the earth, speaking to one of the world's premier evangelists. My team and I had been in the historic Moscow Crusade with Billy Graham as he preached the gospel to the multitudes that filled the stadium. I thrilled at the sight of thousands rushing forward each night to accept Christ as their personal Savior in response to the message of the cross.

As Billy Graham and I spoke in the aisle of the plane, I explained to him how I had received a strong prophetic visitation from the Lord concerning this time of global harvest. I will never forget the love and compassion streaming from the voice and eyes of this great man of God as he placed his weathered hand upon my shoulder and looked so deeply into my eyes. His words shot to the very depths of my soul. He said, "Son, I was reared on a farm, and one thing I have learned about harvest time is it is short. Never forget: Harvest time is a short time."

Then Dr. Graham quoted the words of warning concerning delay given from the lips of the Master Harvester—our Lord: "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest?' Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" (John 4:35).

Oh, how we must be reminded! The time to reap the end-time harvest is now. We do not have time to waste, nor is there any excuse for waiting. The Scriptures declare, "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Corinthians 6:2 KJV).

The reason we are still here on earth is to share the gospel. Look at what we have to tell: good news. Do not be deceived into thinking that people don't want to hear what we have to report. We have good news to share with them! The Holy Spirit will anoint you to be a real witness of Jesus and His marvelous power and grace to save. "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). God has given you power to share a clear witness about His Son.

All Are Invited

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13 KJV). The word "whosoever" includes everyone and excludes no one. Through the cross of Christ, the door of salvation is open wide for all to come to new life in Jesus. The problem with the harvest is not in the invitation, but in the proclamation. This can be seen in the questions Paul raises in Romans 10:14–15:

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"

If people are going to be saved, they must hear the gospel. We have been given a commission by the Lord Jesus. Hear His command in Matthew 28:18-20:

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

We are under divine orders to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). The Apostle Paul reminds us that we should always be ready to tell others about Jesus: "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season" (II Timothy 4:2). God's heart is to see a great harvest saved. We are to give a clear message about Christ, yet with a humble and right attitude. When we are sharing with the lost we should never come across like we are somehow superior. We are only what we are because of the grace of God.

Jesus has promised to make us successful "fishers of men" if we follow Him (Matthew 4:19). It is the Holy Spirit who does the work. We are just the yielded tools in His hands. "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). You are created and empowered by the Spirit to accomplish great things for the kingdom of God.

A Clear and Simple Gospel

The good news we share with the waiting world should not be vague or complicated. The Scriptures teach that Christ Jesus is the only way to heaven (John 14:6). Though it has been said that "All roads lead to Rome," never forget that "All religions do not lead to heaven." The gospel brings the lost into a relationship with Jesus, the one who is able to save them completely. The only true covering for our sin is the precious blood of Christ.

We must make certain the gospel we share points to Christ and Him alone. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Christ is ready and able to save any and all who will, by faith, come to God by Him. "Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).

We also must be careful not to make converts to a religious system, but help bring people into relationship with the glorious Savior, Christ Jesus. Like Adam and Eve hiding in the fig leaves, man often seeks to run off and hide himself in the cover-up of man-made religion. No religious system or good works have the power to remove sin and restore relationship with God. Just as the shedding of blood was required to cover Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:21), only the blood of the Lamb is capable of covering our sins.

We must point only to the Lord's atoning work and a relationship with Him, never the dead, dry and rotten covering of man-made religion. One way to recognize these religious systems is that they make the gospel complex and complicated. Man-made religion will always have a lot of "hoops" we are required to jump through to attain our reward, whereas the gospel is simple and available to "whosoever will."

The Harvest Has Begun

The harvest is not just coming—it has begun! Dennis Balcombe, pastor of Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong, reports that each day more than 25,000 souls are being won in China. The doors are opening for many to go into China as short-term or long-term missionaries.

Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ reports that Muslims are being converted to Christ in record numbers—not through traditional means of persuasion, but through mighty signs and wonders. Many former Muslims have reported having a "divine visitation" which so impacted their lives that they are now saved and following Christ.

People are now hungry to hear about Jesus—though they are rightfully skeptical of those who come peddling man-made programs with puffed-up personalities. People want to hear about Christ and His power to save, heal and restore.

Recently my wife and I were coming out of a shopping mall in East Texas. There were three or four rebellious-looking teenagers dressed in hyper-punk clothes. The Lord said, "Bobby, go and share Jesus with them." I said, "Lord, they don't look as if they want to hear." Yet the Spirit very firmly said, "Go. Do what you are told to do." I did, and was shocked at the response. There was great openness, and soon a crowd of these young people had gathered. I was able to openly and powerfully share Jesus with them. Many of the teens were truly broken and repentant as they gave their lives to Jesus. You see, it is not the harvest that is lacking, it is the reapers. Let's all surrender and ask the Lord to make us sharp threshing instruments (see Isaiah 41:15).

I once was told of an elderly lady who was not able to get out of her bed, yet her heart was burning for souls. She prayed and asked God to provide some way that she could tell others about Christ. Suddenly she saw her telephone—practically her only link to the outside world. She was shut in, but not shut out. She began to call each person in her telephone book, and with a wonderful sweet anointing upon her, she was able to lead more than 8,000 people to receive Christ in one year over the telephone!

Needed: Weepers and Reapers

We must pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to fall upon our hearts and give us compassion for the lost. As the Psalmist promised, if we sow in tears, we will reap in joy: "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:5–6).

The Lord is looking for willing workers to send out into these ripe harvest fields. Not long ago, He spoke this word to the church through a friend of mine:

"I have placed My calling upon you and set you apart for My service. And yet you have also heard another call, for the world has also called your name. With its calling it has promised pleasures—both simple pleasure and sweet delights. You have not rejected My call, you have merely placed it on hold while you examine the other. How long will you waver between two opinions, double-minded and neither hot nor cold? Choose this day to pick up the call that I have given. Your call is waiting!"

Will you answer the call, saying, "Lord, here am I. Send me!" Jesus declares that the harvest is ready. The harvesters are what is lacking. "Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest'" (Matthew 9:37–38).

We must be about the work that God has left us here to do—witnessing to a lost world. Jesus said, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you" (John 15:16).

Harvest time is short. It is urgent that we ask the Father to help us bear good fruit—the fruit of increase for His kingdom. Let it not be said concerning our generation: "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved"(Jeremiah 8:20).

Demonstration Of God's Power Ministry

Confirmation

Bridget Fizer

Why do we continue to sit by, watch, and marvel at what God is doing in others? Are we allowing God to make us into what He intended us to be?

Some of us, who are concerned about the "happenings" in other ministries, may still be ignorant of who we are. We still don't know what God has made and anointed us to be. We still may not have an idea of what our ministry function is. But we continue to attend, attend, attend, and attend.

It is not the fault of the ministry that we have attended (in some cases). It is our responsibility to receive what that ministry is offering and allow that area of ministry to strengthen us into doing and fulfilling what God has placed in us. Not just attending... but doing. Going forth. It should have fueled us to do more than we ever have. Believing deeper for greater. That means doing more effective work for God's glory. *see James 1:22-24.

"Mimicking" other ministries is not what God intended. You know, having a type of ministry that we "wouldn't mind doing"( but wasn't called to). God uniquely made us into something special and something different. If He made us to mimic others, then we would not be needed, neither would we be unique. But we are unique and needed for the entire Body. Everyone needs everyone to be effective in ministry.

God confirms our uniqueness, not our duplication. You may receive an anointing from the Lord that is similar to another's', but there will always be a uniqueness about you. The sadness of that, however, would be that you are confirmed but not seeking.

We have received so many confirmations from different ministry meetings, that we have the right to say,"Don't call me by my first name, just call me 'Confirmation.'"

We have gotten to the point that we love the feeling of what a confirmation brings. It is a feeling of being wanted or needed. There is a "spiritual stroking" that we want from God and we feel if we get confirmation from someone who don't know us, then we have been accepted into ministry. When we feel the 'comfort' of a confirmation from God, then there is a major sense of spiritual success.

Yes, it's true. You will need to be confirmed. But when you are confirmed over and over and over and never begin to walk in that authority, then you will begin to walk in disobedience.

Then once you walk in disobedience, you begin to walk in forgetfulness of your ministry. Then you begin to walk in doubt of ever being called. Then you will deny ever being called at all. The confirmation will loose its power and you will began to hate being reminded of what you are not doing. We can turn a confirmation into standing still.

Doing nothing. Living regular. There is no need to go any further. For what? A confirmation was all that you were looking for anyway. Right? You never expected God to really want you to seek it out did you?

Maybe you thought God was just having fun with you and you with Him. You both didn't really mean it. Why is He holding you responsible for something you didn't ask for? He is really "pushing you," so you say. All you want is for your family to be healthy and happy and their needs met. Right? You just want to be like everybody else with a normal life.

No. They don't have a normal life. They are living an abnormal disobedient (to their calling) life. You are supposed to live a normal, obedient (to your calling) life.

Now you are living common. Not walking in the great exploits of the Holy Spirit. Not pursuing and taking over territory that has been stolen by the enemy. Not seeking the face of God diligently for what He desires for your life. Not walking in the authority that our 'Big Brother' gave to us when He died. Not believing what God has confirmed in us over and over and over again.

So now you have made your ministry a parade ministry. Sitting along side the road of ministry and watching the different floats of ministry go by. Oooooooing and Ahhhhing at the sights of the different ministry float structures.

In addition, you have invited some of your closest friends to sit along side you while you show them the key points to the floats and show them what is going on in the parade. Since you can talk about it, you feel that you are in the same place of authority that they are in. It looks like you are in the same place, but you are not.

And the only reason why you are on the side of the ministry road is because you have not invited God to break your own ministry. You are refusing to allow God to take you into that lonely place where it is just you and Him. All you have are stories of the manifestations of the other ministries "lonely place" of them and Him. You are confirmed but not in the parade.

You were definitely called to be in the parade too. While everyone else was being made into God's will and destiny, they were also being changed by the Potter while being the clay. God was working and toiling with their heart and spirit all this time in preparation for the manifestation of the parade day.

God has exposed their innermost secrets to them and they dealt with them and were healed. They embraced their process of changes but you didn't.

You decided not to allow God to break you and show you to yourself as "ugly" as you were (in spirit), 2 Cor.7:1. You did not allow God to show you your apprehensions, your faults, your Weaknesses, your aughts that you held against others, your offenses, your wrongdoings, and your disobedience to Him. You are confirmed but not seeking.

You never sat down with someone who could teach you and train you into ministry. You never really trusted true, Godly leadership. You are still offended at leadership that has hurt you in some way or another. You are still comparing what God is putting right at your door to what you have had.

Some of you have seasoned ministry right under your nose that can teach you and train you and you don't see it, and you don't feel it. You are so apprehensive of your own self-conscious feelings that you don't see what God has placed before you. You are about to miss an opportunity and you don't even know it. Discern.

God is not going to confirm your ministry without sending someone to help you in establishing your ministry. It may have taken longer than you expected, but do you still believe in Him and know that He has confirmed you? You may not like how long He is taking or how He wants to build it. He just wants to see if you are going to stand still and marvel at what He is doing in others, or believe in what He has called you to do!

He has confirmed you…go after what God has placed in you to do! Don't just remain confirmed…take the next step…go for what you know!

The Power of the Two

Timothy Early

Two is better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him that is alone when he fall; for he has not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat; but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, tow shall withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2 Corinthians 13:1

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days {symbolic period}, clothed in sackcloth {humility}. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devour their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this wise be killed. These have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Revelation 11:3-6

The number "two" carries a wide range of application and meaning, but due to the interest of time, we shall elaborate from four definite meanings for discussion.

In present truth understanding, the number "two" represents "witness, covenant, testimony, and agreement." In witness it is the same principle of Jesus sending out his disciples by two, and concerning him, his witness was not of himself. In covenant, it recognizes that there is at least two to form a covenant. In testimony, it reveals the principle of the testament or testator, the one recognizing the other. And in agreement, the number two reveals the significant and extraordinary power thereof, for there is power in agreement. Whether in the home or the local church, there is power in the unity of the two {witnesses}.

In the principle of two is not only found the power of agreement, covenant, witness, and testimony, but the power to produce the offspring and prodigy thereof. For in the two witness principle, the union of the two gives birth {and reveals} something found in the oneness of the two. It is seen in the following...

  1. The husband and the wife gives birth from their union a child
  2. The church & the kingdom together brings manifestation of God's will in earth
  3. Christ the Head and Christ the body, as oppose to antichrist, not the body
  4. The Spirit and the Bride says come... {together}... not one without the other
  5. The Sun clothed woman and the manchild: revelation of the overcomer
  6. Moses and Elijah: a Melchisedec principle of possessors of heaven & earth
  7. The Word and Spirit: prevents the extremes of legalism and fanaticism
  8. O.T. and N.T.: New Testament contained, Old Testament explained
  9. Apostles and Prophets: patriarch and matriarch in the body of Christ
  10. The King and Priest: ministry {priest} backed by authority {king}

A further example of the two witness principle is as follows...

  • A husband and Wife is given the commission to leave, cleave, and weave {or become}. If there is no breaking of the old authority ties from the parents, the marriage may easily become dictated through the unbroken cords of the past. Therefore, the two witness principle of the husband and wife is radically challenged to become a nuclear family unit, leaving the old, cleaving to the new, to become the oneness of purpose the two are given for. Genesis 2:24

  • When the body of Christ is surrendered unto the headship, preeminence, Lordship, and centrality of Jesus Christ, it is nourished by the Lord himself, and not another. Therefore, true body ministry reciprocates the life of Jesus in every part. For if it is not a part of his headship, is it really a part of the body? Col. 2:19

  • The kingdom is not a part of the church, but the church is a part of the kingdom. When the church becomes a kingdom instrument, and not another organizational cause, it becomes the venue and vehicle of expression to advance the kingdom on earth. Therefore, a kingdom mentality is much greater than having a church mentality. The church local & universal is for kingdom purpose.

When referring to Revelation 11:3-6, it reveals a word picture of the saints, the overcomer company in union with the Godhead, and with one another {John 17}.

The power of the two witnesses {the nature of what two really is} can prophesy, assault the heavens, and manifest the power of the living God on earth {the waters} through the unity of two. For true unity is "You and I tie, or U-N-I-tie}. The power of two {witness, covenant, testimony, and agreement} releases a fire out of their mouths and devours their enemies. This same fire is in the life of the husband and wife as they walk in their allotted purpose and destiny. The same fire is in the mouth of the elders and sheep of a committed flock, and in the agreement of each saint with the accurate plans and will of God for their life, for you and your Father are ONE. Also, this same fire that devours the enemy is manifested in any principle of the unity of two or the power of two, for there is power in agreement. Whether a husband and wife agrees to buy a home against the odds, or a few members of a local church are in earth shaking agreement to build God a new facility for habitation, what can really stop the power of the two witnesses? You may kill the body, or mar the physical appeal in some respects, but you cannot stop the massive, irresistible, steadfast counsel of God from coming forth in the principle of the power of TWO. For the principle of two is always standing before the God of the earth . It is a reminder of how powerful it is when we come into agreement with God, as a husband or wife, or as saints one with another. It is an eternal order of what two in agreement can do.

In closing, recognize the power of the two. For though the two witness {word picture and metaphor of the glorious overcoming saints} of Revelation 11 appears challenged to the death, remember this, with every death comes a resurrection. Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and die, it abides alone. For seeds in the natural carry a birth, a death , and a fulfillment. The same with your vision potential. It carries a birth, a death {Lord, why is this all happening to me?}, and a fulfillment. {The vision speaks and will not tarry - Habakkuk 2:1-3}. The same with life, for there is a season of generation, degeneration, and regeneration. All in all, nothing will stop the seed, for it was born to exceed and succeed. Meaning, the two witness principle or the power of the two, shall come to full fruition, maturity, and completion of purpose. Though unified, God will cause it to become glorified. Though delayed from our point of view, it is in no wise denied. For again, what can really stop the power {agreement} of the two {witnesses}? What can stop the power and unity of the two? {Husband-Wife: Word-Spirit: God-man}

You are now entering a time when you can tie up loose ends and bring closure to many things. Your testing has been intense, but those who have yielded to the cleansing will begin to move in greater freedom and power than you could ever have imagined. I say to you that doors to the past are being shut, and you will never go back to those places of bondage. Shake off the dust of rejection and refuse to allow intimidation to be a ruler in your circumstances. You are moving into a new day where you will abide in My glory. For those who can receive it, the days of wandering around in thick darkness not discerning My direction or purposes are ending. For indeed, My glory will bring the light of revelation and discernment that will remove the mist of obscurity. No longer will you see through a glass darkly, but you are about to behold Me face to face.

You are a Work in Progress

Nancy Smith

You are a Work in Progress...do not impeed the progress!

Do not impeed a work in progress, says the Lord. For I have called you in your time of struggle to stay fixed on me, not to try to squirm out of the trial and get into easier circumstances with more encouraging "environments".

There are lessons to be learned in the areas that you are involved in that cannot be learned in another more "comfortable" position. But I have left you in this place in order that you would call upon My name in earnest and watch ME move as only I can do! I have put you in this place in order that you would show yourself approved unto me in the small things and then I will give you greater and greater things. I have set you in motion and I will not stop this work of progress if you do not pull yourself away. It is MY hand that will move you when it is time to move. It is impossible for you to learn when you continually move into the realm of trying to squirm away from the less exciting and uncomfortable lessons that I would teach you in these times, says the Lord. Submit unto ME and see that even in those days of struggle I move in and pull apart the waves of despair to cause you to be formed in intricate detail just the way I want you to be fashioned. You are a work in progress. Do NOT impeed the progress.

A Semblance Of Order

Bonita Chapman

Why are many of you so concerned and upset about the way things in My kingdom are looking to you right now? Why is there such a concern about the call I am placing on you to draw near to Me and to obey My voice minute-to-minute?

I tell you, much of your concern is because you have such a desire for a "semblance* of order" in your lives that you believe will be gone if you dare to follow My leading. That may be true! But you have to understand that what you call "order" is not MY order, it is only a staid ritual that you use to get you through the days without having to keep your spiritual ears keenly open to hear My voice! Such days are over, my children. They are over. You may blow them a goodbye kiss, and watch as they fade into the distance.

The days are here when you will be more and more in the position of having to hear My voice speaking TO YOU or you will miss out on what I desire to do with and in you. Things will soon be so topsy-turvy in both the religious and the natural world that you absolutely MUST know how to be minutely led by My Spirit speaking to your spirit. This is not a game dear hearts, it is not a game. It is a desperately important thing that I require of My own.

Learn now to hear Me and to trust what you hear, and to PROVE that trust by acting on it with immediacy and with calmness. I will always have your best interests in My heart, and that interest will show itself in leading you into the way that will bring to you great blessing. Don't spend so much time looking at the world, and allowing your hearts to become dismayed. Look to Me, and listen to Me, and let Me bring you into an order that is uniquely My own. It will not be just a "semblance" of order, but will be the real thing. It will bless you, and it will bless My kingdom and My work.

Turn your ears to Me, let yourself go into My care, follow My instructions, and we will give the world a show it will never forget!

*sem-blance. 1. An outward or token appearance. 2. A representation; a copy.
