Know This

Becky McLendon

This is a message to God's people. Those in the traditional "church", those outside the traditional "church", those on the mountain tops, those in the valleys, those in the river and those in the wilderness, "coming out of Babylon.

Return to your first love, which is Jesus Christ your Lord and your Savior. Pick up your Bible and open to Genesis 1:1 and read to Revelation 22:21. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you in all truth. Add nothing to this book or take anything away from it, but receive the Word of God by faith, lest God add to you the plagues that are written in this book, or lest God take your part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book. Rev. 22:18, 19

Humble yourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from your wicked ways. 2 Chron 7:14

Know this: God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jn 3:16.

Know this: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and NO MAN cometh to the Father except by Me. John 14:6

Know this: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against ANY; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive you. Mark 11:25,26

Know this:

And the Spirit and the bride say COME, and let him that heareth say COME, and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will let him take the water of life freely. Rev 22:17 He which testifieth these things saith, "Surely I come quickly.' AMEN. Even so, come Lord Jesus." Rev: 22:20

So be it.

SMALL VOICE
by David Howe

Small Voice.

When all the noise of life is around you - Remember that still small voice of the Lord.

Do not let the noise of life drown out that still small voice of the Lord - For he is speaking to you.

Yes he is speaking as a still small voice in the midst of the storm saying - "this is the way - Walk in it - For I love you my child" - Listen And you will hear his still small voice speaking to you this day.

To My intercessors.

The Lord thunders from Zion - The Lord utters his voice before you this day - Blow the trumpet in Zion - Yes sound the alarm My prophets - My watchman.

Tell my warriors to go forth - For the day of victory is hand - Yes the battle is the Lords The battle is yours - For into your hands I will deliver them says the Lord.

My intercessors - Keep pushing the boulder of prayer - For soon it will roll with unstoppable power - Will roll down the mountain with increasing speed right into the camp of the enemy Roll and crush the tents of the enemy - Roll and crush his head - For on that day I will spread confusion in his camp - For they will be broken on the rock of the Lord.

Yes push my people push - Push for the time of birth is at hand - Push like you yourselves are giving birth - Push for the day of travail will soon be over - Yes for soon like a new mother you will hold your new baby in your arms - For after the day of pain shall come the day of joy when you will hold that new life in your arms says the Lord.

Just one more push and the boulder will begin to move down the mountain - Yes push - For the last push is the hardest my people.

I WILL HAVE A CHURCH
Prophetic word and vision
through Hollie Moody

I have watched and listened with interest and concern all that is being said and predicted and prophesied about the Lord's Church.

Last week, as I was in prayer and fasting about many things, and also about the Lord's Church, I had the following short vision. I submit it for the discernment of the Body of Christ. Not all words, dreams or visions, or prophesies are for all Believers. If this vision and possible interpretation does not agree with your spirit, just disregard it. I feel, however, that there are some who this vision and possible interpretation will touch and speak to.

********************************************

I simply saw Jesus hanging on the Cross. He was bleeding from the many wounds inflicted upon Him during His Calvary experience. This blood was flowing freely upon a Bride standing beneath Him at the foot of the Cross. The Bride was adorned in a beautiful white wedding dress. The train of her dress was long; as was her veil.

As I looked closer at the Bride, I began to see multitudes of people contained within her body.

I then saw others standing in front of the Bride. Their voices were harsh, condemning, and accusatory. These people were pointing their fingers at the Bride, and proclaiming her faults, flaws, and shortcomings to the Lord as He hung upon the Cross.

As the accusations continued, I saw the Bride begin to lower her head in shame, embarrassment, and confusion. Each accusation and each word of judgment and condemnation against the Bride was heaped upon her. I saw as she began to stagger under the weight of these accusations.

I looked at the Lord's face as these accusations flowed as freely as did His Blood. I saw that He was grieved and also angry with the accusations. I then noticed that as the accusations became more numerous and flowed more and more quickly from the lips of the accusers, that the Blood of Jesus increased in direct proportion to these accusations. Then the Blood flowed more quickly than the accusations did, and completely covered the Bride and erased from my sight the accusations heaped upon the Bride. The accusations could not "stick" to the Bride because of the Blood, and the accusations began to fall from the Bride.

When this happened, the Bride began to change. The change began from within, and then proceeded to change the outward appearance of the Bride also.

The Lord gazed at me from the Cross, and said, "I sacrificed all for My Bride because of My great love for her. I will have a Church."

---------

As I pondered this vision, three portions of Scripture came to mind.

Romans 8:33-34 ~~ "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? it is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? it is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

Ephesians 5:25-27 ~~ "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."

Colossians 1:20-22 ~~ "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight."

While many are judging the Church, and condemning the Church, we need to remember that we, each one of us, are the Church. The Body of Christ is made up of individuals fitly framed together.

There may indeed be problems and troubles within the Church. As the Lord said to me, since He sacrificed His all for the Church because He loves her so very much, we can trust the Church into His very capable hands.

The Lord will have a Church.

In Him,
~~ Hollie L. Moody

Why Do You Struggle?

Sharon Marks

Why do you struggle against my wind? Does a ship sail against the wind and gain any distance? Does a bird fly against the wind and not soon tire? You now change direction and you face that which I have sent for you to flow with. can you flow against the wind of my spirit? Will you not soon become weary, discouraged and will you not be brought back further than when you began?

I have begun a purpose in you and I have sent the wind of my spirit to carry you further in what that purpose is. Do not suppose this to be a new direction in Me, for I have not purposed it. You have yet to flow steadily in what has just begun. Yet you jump into deeper water when you have not yet learned to swim. Do not go forward in haste. Wait on Me children.

Let no man or no woman take you away from the purpose I have proposed for you. Winds of change do not always mean a different direction but a clearer direction. My wind will separate the chaff from the wheat. It will bring a refreshing and it will fan the flame that has begun to burn in you -- that your heart will be consumed in, of and for Me! A flame that will ignite a deeper desire for what My desire is for My people.

There is a time of great testing and tribulation that I will bring to My people. If you change with every wind of doctrine that man purposes, you surely will not stand. Therefore, stand, wait, rest in what I have begun. Become strong in it -- you are not yet strong. You are too easily turned aside.

Those who contend with mine I will contend with. So fear no man's face or what you shall say; for I will set their faces before you and My oracles I shall put into your mouth that you may speak those things that I have need of to be spoken. Fear not what man can do -- fear only your God! Reverance Me! Wait on Me! Rest in Me! Children, rest in Me.

COME OUT OF BABYLON ~~ MY BELOVED

Linda Evans

Come out of doublemindedness. Come out of lies -- Come into Truth.
Come out of Darkness and into Light.

Rise up from the death which holds you captive. Let go of the life you know, to receive an abundance you do not know! Let go of your self-preservation... your false persona.. and all that your flesh has wrapped around itself to preserve itself. Rise up in new and vibrant Life. Say "YES" to Love and then you shall see Truth. I came that ye might have Life and that LIFE more Abundantly! Yet, the Way that I Am, requires you to turn away from all the lies in which you have taken refuge and confess the lies by which you have protected your carnal self.

"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place" (Isa 28:17)

COME OUT OF BABLYLON ~~ MY BELOVED
Let go of those garments of self-protection in which you think you hide... Let Me clothe you in My Light, in My Son. Your lies cannot protect you any longer -- for that which is hidden, now shall be revealed. The blackness of your heart shall be revealed ~~ either willingly now, by your courage and desire to embrace truth and cleansing ~ or unwillingly, as My Light peels away the false covering you have build by the might of your own power -- your soulish ability to create a false self to hide behind -- fearing man's discovery and judgement, more than you have feared Me.

COME OUT OF BABLYLON ~~ MY BELOVED
Let go of your rule and reign, your soulish lordship and embrace My Rule and My Reign; Submit to Me and confess your doublemindedness -- Let your Babel be removed, let the confusion that permeates your being be consumed in My Light, which is My Love, which is My Son.

I have released Love in the earth to teach you to listen to your heart. I have awakened Love in your heart to help loosen your grip on the garments of self-preservation. Love empowers you to let go of the false coverings and to return to the innocence you only knew as a child. You were not then ashamed of your nakedness. There was no fear in being seen as you really are -- as I see you now, and Love you anyway. Come out of Babylon -- come out of fear and confusion my beloved and be clothed in your new garments of Light and Life and Love, be clothed in the Glorious Freedom of the sons of God.

"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean" (Isa 52:1)

COME OUT OF BABYLON ~~ MY BELOVED
You were created to be a pure and spotless bride -- with no shadow or darkness in you. Yet as long as you fight Love -- you are holding onto a "disharmony" which cannot come into the Kingdom of God. Your lips/mouth and your heart must speak ONLY the pure and true Language of the Kingdom. There can be no discord between your heart language and your head language, but they must speak as One. There is no lie -- no falseness in the Kingdom. There is no disorder nor confusion in Language in the Kingdom. The Heart and Mouth have become single and unified, as they together now as one, speak no babel, no confusion. They have come into one accord. "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent." (Zeph 3:9)

You must repent, turn away from this self-preserving, independent language of Babylon -- the language you have learned to speak so well! You must, one by one, recognize the Truth I speak to your heart this day, and let Faith and Love lead you from your false refuge -- from your communities of "self-preservation" -- where you all speak the false language of Babylon. The confusion -- division -- which has come because your heart and your head are not in one accord. You do not speak in unity -- singleness, for you fear what your heart might say! You silence your heart, and speak only from your mouth, the language your soul commands you to say and think.... "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me" (Matt 15:8, Isa 29:13)

Let My Love put to death the double-speak of Babylon. Let My Love teach you the Language of the Kingdom -- of Sacrificial Love -- Of dying for the sake of your enemies -- Of Loving those who curse and revile you -- Of forgiving your enemies -- Of giving all that you have to those who have need. Of not bearing false witness, one against another -- Of bearing one another's burdens -- Of giving Mercy, because you know how much you need Mercy! Of learning what I meant when I said, I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice! Let My Love lead you out of Babylon, where you rule, you reign, you build, where you glorify yourself and are lord of all.... where you have taken refuge in a lie.

One by one, I call you, my beloveds, out of Babylon -- out of confusion -- out of the mixture of flesh-rule and Spirit-rule -- out of your false coverings -- out of your refuge in lies -- out of your darkened sight -- out of your blindness ... to see and to be seen, as you are now .. clothed in My Light, shining, whole, healed, restored and cleansed, as I see and created you to be!

"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, 'Take away the filthy garments from him'. And unto him he said, 'Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment'. And I said, 'Let them set a fair mitre upon his head'. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by. (Zec 3:3-5)

You each must make this choice, one by one ... Will you turn from the Lies which have become your refuge, the garments you have worn to hide your nakedness, in which you have tried by your own might and power to cover your shame? Will you come out of Babylon, up now from the false-security of your own coverings, your false self .. and begin to speak that which has been stored in your heart! The Truth (Jesus), from your heart, flowing through your lips, will set you free. Let those old self-preserving way (garments) drop away, as the Angel of God clothes you in the cleansing Light of the Kingdom of God.

COME OUT OF BABYLON ~~ MY BELOVED
"See the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His Holy Ones to judge everyone and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way -- and all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These men are grumblers -- and faultfinders -- they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. But dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, 'In the last days, there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires. These are the men who divide you -- who follow mere natural instincts, and do not have the Spirit." (Jude 14-19)

Come out of Babylon, My beloveds, let go of your self-preserving garments of lies and step into the glorious freedom of the sons of God -- the sons of the Kingdom of Light -- the sons of Love.

THE GREEN JEWEL
by Cyndee Pillow

Last night in prayer I had the following vision.

I saw a wing like a dove, come towards me. On the tip of the wing was a green jewel. The Lord spoke. " Look into this jewel and see what it represents."

I looked into the jewel, and I saw God as creator. I was told as I was watching the world and how it was all new at the beginning of time, that God never intended for anything to die. I knew this, but He seemed to impart more revelation of this as He spoke of which I cannot explain in words.

He showed me when the enemy took over the world. I saw the jewel become dim and crusted over. The glitter and beauty was tarnished on the stone. No longer did it reflect the light, but was hidden under the tarnished surface.

The Lord said, "This is what happened to my creation. It lost the glitter of life I created in all things, and it became marred and tarnished. The beauty of my life giving force was hidden for a time."

Then I saw a hand as a skilled craftsman, begin to shine up the jewel, and brush out the marred places. Then the craftsman blew on the jewel to remove all dust and debris. It was shinning and gloriously beautiful again. The Lord said, "This is what I am about to do with all my creation once again. Soon, I will again bring beauty to my creation and breath new life into it."

As He told me this, He brought to my mind the maimed, lame and broken in the world. They will all be restored, cleaned up and will shine with the glory of the Lord. The sick and beaten down will become strong and anew in purpose and cause. There will be an awakening within God's people that will alert them to know when to speak and when to be silent.

A new awareness of God's timing and guidance will rest on the Christians. They will become precise and right on with what they say and do. The new life of God will create inward and then reflect outward. The inward will cause a knowing to believe for the outward display of Life in US. This will be of the Lord's handy work. NO MAN will take credit for the hand of the Lord will have done this.

Lastly, after the craftsman finished the jewel and it was lovely and glistening with the glory, he handed it to me. The Lord said, "I created all things for mankind, and I am returning it to it's rightful owner. This is my gift to you. I give life and I give it more abundantly. My people are about to know the meaning to this like never before."

Victory in Jesus !!

God's People - Psalm 83

Many are they that rise against you. Many are they that stand before you, defying you and defying your God.

Speak to this mountain, 'Be thou removed and cast into the sea ', for every weapon formed against you will not prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn. (Mark 11 v 23/Isaiah 54 v 17) For I have given you power children, power through Me and in My name.

The fellowship we have flows two ways; from you to Me and from Me to you; so shall you move in power. You see, I have given you power to live, not just to survive, but to live abundantly and in power! I have designated power to My Church and I have given authority to My chosen ones.

But you have to use it !!

Just as our relationship cannot grow with only one of us communicating, so shall it be if you do not put into action what I have invested into you, My Bride . . . . power for living victoriously.

Psalm 83 is great, declare that to Me. Put Me in remembrance of My Word; I love to perform it because My Word is My promise. I fulfil My promises ... I am ever faithful.

Many have risen against you, but children, they rise against you because I am in you and they raise their attack against Me through you, My Beloved. They cannot defeat Me, they know Who I Am . . . even the demons tremble at My voice.

But do you know Me? Do you know My voice and do you tremble at it? You see, the enemy will attack you because you have believed Me and accepted Me into your heart. He will try to crush you and defeat you but by knowing Me you will know My power and how afraid the devil is of Me . . . that's right, he knows exactly Who I am and what I can do; but he attacks you to get to Me, accusing you, My beloved children. But O what glorious power rests within My Word and upon My people who walk by it. You know Me, therefore you know who you are in Me and the position you have in Me. From that position every demon, power and principality is subject to you because of Who I am in you; even the devil has to listen and obey you, when you move by My Spirit!

You see, great and awesome power rests upon those who know Me, My Word and obeys Me willingly. To those who know the secret to life, nothing shall be impossible. And what is that secret . . . . . ? It is faith in Me.

Sure confidence and expectancy that I am in command and with Me you will not fail but have total victory. Go on shout ... the devil hates it when praises are lifted to Me, so why not shout some more?

Isaiah 12

Every blessing to you,

Yours in Christ,
Andrew

A Miracle in the Streets

By Chad Taylor

WE WITNESSED A MIRACLE THAT DAY

On Monday July 24th, 2000 we witnessed a miracle. The day was overcast and cold as we set up the sound equipment under the gazebo in Mt. View Park behind the Community Center. Nearly 2 weeks had met us with rain and clouds. We prayed. 2000 amps of speakers and wires were being prepared to amplify the name of Jesus in an area considered by most as "the ghetto." From noon to 3 P.M. intercessors and helpers arrived, a handful of radicals and reckless, daring to forfeit Saturday leisure to "launch out into the deep... and become fishers of men..."

THE CLOUDS ROLL AWAY

Sometime around 2:30 or 3:00 P.M. the clouds began to roll away, leaving a hole in the sky somewhere above our heads! As the sun began to warm our skin we shouted and praised God the keeper of the Heavens and the Master of the weather! The storm had been silenced. By three o'clock the Christian clown in her make up and Jesus stickers had arrived. Typhoon Teddy, a 12 foot blown up teddy bear that was filled with balloons invited kids to jump inside as the generator pumped her up. The commercial barbecue began to fill the air with the smell of coals and food. We started with 500 hundred hotdogs at 3:00 P.M., at the end of the evening we had passed out over 1500 hundred hamburgers and hotdogs! We had watched a miracle transpire. God's great love for the children. God's passion for the lost. We were only really spectators as the Lord poured out His abundance and grace upon an area the world deemed unfit. "Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound..."

SOUND OF PRAISE IN THE STREETS

At 3:30 the first band had arrived and began to jam. I.T.P. "Increase The Peace." A young rap band that rhymed and reasoned about the love of Jesus street style! See, you cannot expect the streets to understand your message unless you speak their language. Unless you are willing to look at them eye to eye and "become all things to all men to save some" you will never see them saved and set free. You will never see them "translated from the darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son..." For 45 minutes the rap and rhyme echoed through the park. Urban style worship with bass! The kids from the neighborhood loved it! They moved and danced to the beat, some even lifted up their hands and for the first time worshiped Jesus! In their own way, to their own sound. By 4:00 P.M. the band "Techno Worship" were ready to play. Four hip-hop worship leaders with a message for the hour. "God love you just the way you are!" Radical but true. Five bands were lined up to play until 10:00 P.M. For the next eight hours the line at the barbecue never stopped. They were hungry...

THE LITTLE CHILDREN WORSHIP GOD

As one band left the stage to give way to another, we would gather the children in the park to the front stage. Typhoon Teddy took a break, the puppets at the puppet stage directed traffic, and the face painters decorating their little faces with Jesus' love paused. Only the hotdogs and hamburgers continued moving! A mass of little faces looked up expectantly, hungry. We shared how Jesus died, a drama team demonstrated this statement more clearly. We asked the children to lift up their hands and wave to God. A sea of hands moved back and forth worshiping the Creator. Then we asked how many wanted to know Jesus and know Him in their hearts. Dozens, if not every one raised their hands. We had lost count hours ago. Time after time in those eight hours the children invited Jesus into their hearts and lives. Children groomed to be gang members and prison inmates had their courses altered and their lives changed forever. Atleast five hundred kids and parents walked through that park July 24th. More drove by and watched and listened from a distance. Intrigued and curious at the sound of praise and worship not confined by walls and insulation. For many, it was their first time...

THE CHURCH IS CHANGING

From coast to coast this year, we have witnessed a phenomena. Churches breaking out of the barriers and perimeters of religious tradition and formality. Churches literally taking their sound system and congregation to the streets! In San Jose the entire church moved into their parking lot for the weekend! Passing out thousands of free hotdogs to the community and impacting even more souls! In Frederick Maryland just a few days ago we participated with another church as they took the worship team to the mall parking lot! Bringing in a flat bed truck as their stage! Inviting local authorities and groups to set up shop. The state patrol, the fire trucks, the medics with their ambulance. Crisis Pregnancy Center had a table to give out critical information to the housing project community. Again a clown riding a unicycle told the children how much Jesus loves them! Hot dogs and hamburgers were in abundance as the sound of worship and joy resounded in the hi-ways and bi-ways of Maryland. The face of Christianity and what the world interprets as Church is changing. From a formal unapproachable entity and institution, to a radical love filled living organism called The Body of Christ! Exuding the love and passion of Jesus! Not only in words but in extreme demonstrations of that love. This is what will change the world, this is what will usher in harvest and revival. Nothing less and nothing more.

THE STREETS WILL BE THE PLACE OF THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD

In Acts 5:15 they "brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that atleast the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them..." Why didn't they lay them in the temple gate as the lame man that was healed before sat? Or at the pool of Bethesda hoping for the angel to stir the water? BECAUSE THEY KNEW AT THAT TIME WHERE THE GLORY WAS BEING REVEALED! IN THE STREETS! IN THE OPEN AIR AND DIRT! THERE WAS WHERE THE GLORY OF GOD WAS BEING REVEALED UNPRECEDENTED AND WITH POWER! THAT EVEN THE SHADOW OF ONE CHRISTIAN PASSING BY MIGHT FALL ON THEM AND THEY WOULD BE HEALED! THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD WILL BE SEEN IN THE SAME WAY! DEMONSTRATED IN THE OPEN AIR AND PUBLICLY. FOR EVERY EYE TO WITNESS AND EVERY HEART TO PONDER.

The next great move of God will be seen in the streets. Harvest is not experienced in test tubes and sheltered places. Harvest is only experienced in the open air with the hot sun and the cool evening breeze. Harvest is not something confined and measured and grown in air conditioned buildings. But rather with sweat and effort bringing for an abundance. Harvest is outside. Harvest is where the people are. And church, harvest is upon us...Harvest is most surely upon us...

Lamentations 2:19

Unveiling Christ in us, the Hope of Glory
Debra Westbrook

As I was sitting before the Lord this morning, He began to speak to me with a clarity that gave me insight into the purpose of revelation in my life. I would pray that this would bless you as it did me.

Revelation comes to us by the Spirit of God unveiling Christ in us, the Hope of Glory. (Col. 1:27) Revelation has a purpose which is to conform us and form us into the image of Jesus Christ. Revelation draws us into a life of Christlikeness. I am discovering that every revelation that is given to me has a distinct purpose in drawing me first closer to Jesus, and in turn, closer in unity to each other in the Body of Christ. Here is how God anoints revelation for this purpose.

1. He calls us to SIT within the revelation. Eph. 2:6 tells us God raises us up with Christ and seats us with Him in the heavenly realm. This type of revelation, when given to you and appropriated into your spirit, becomes a framework and a foundation of your identity in Christ Jesus. Over time, these revelations lead to maturity, which teach us to rest in Him and the finished work of the cross.

2. He calls us to CARRY the revelation that is given to us for a season. We carry and identify with the burdens that are upon the Father's heart through intercessory prayer. We carry this revelation until there comes a release from heaven. We identify with the intimate desires of the Lord for this world. It may or may not be spoken outside of one's prayer closet. We must remember that this is always His burden, from His heart and we are the vessels to pray God's will into the world.

3. He calls us to STAND AND PROCLAIM the revelation. This revelation comes as a sounding of a trumpet into a particular situation that carries with it a divine authority to effect change. Once we sound the trumpet and proclaim, it is God's job to fulfill and perform His word. We are simply to respond to this revelation with faith and obedience to speak forth what God is saying.

4. He calls us to RUN with the revelation. This type of revelation forms a path whereby our steps are ordered. It may become a life message that is carried and formed within us over time that we continually impart to the Body of Christ. The depth of this revelation increases over time as we mature in Christ Jesus. The way we individually run with this revelation is a beautiful testimony to the wonderful diversity in the Body of Christ. Two people may have a similar life message that has been imparted by revelation, yet their individual lives become a unique carrier of a message of God's glory.

5. Finally, He calls us to WORSHIP in the midst of the revelation. This type of revelation may come to us during corporate worship or individual communion but our only response is to worship Jesus. It becomes a spontaneous divine interlude when the reality of our Lord is manifested to our spirits. The outcome is an outpouring of love that proclaims various revelations of His character. Out of the overflow of the revelation imparted to our hearts, our mouth speaks. He is awesome. He is majestic. He is glorious. He is wonderful. While in the presence of this revelation of Jesus by the Spirit of God, there is a transformation that takes place supernaturally within each one of us. We are transformed by that which we gaze upon. Jesus Christ.

May this bless you as it did me this morning. It helped me to see again that God speaks in various ways for various purposes, drawing us closer to Jesus and one another so that the world may see Christ in us, the hope of glory.
