For The Families

JoLyn Gallagher

Hear Me, My children. Hear Me, My church. Hear Me, My bride! My mission field is among you. Your brothers and sisters are being deceived. Do you see divorce and destruction in your midst? Is My family falling apart? You do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age. The enemy of My church is cunning and is working untold evil at the very core of My loved ones. My beloved children are not being told the truth and there is untold suffering among My own.

Church, rise up, wake up, look up! Open your eyes and your ears and hearts to My truth. The enemy of My family is laughing as My children no longer believe he exists. My precious ones are being lulled to sleep.  His weapon is ignorance. Speak My truth to those near you. No longer be silent. Tell them to seek My face. Tell them the truth that this warfare is spiritual. Tell them the truth that even My elect are being deceived and led astray.

And now pray, stand in the gap on behalf of your brothers and sisters that this darkness which has taken root would be destroyed by the light of My truth. I am the truth. I am the light. I am victory.

You are My beloved, My heart is tender toward you, My love for you is deep. I long for you to draw close to Me and abide within Me. I am your hiding place and your shelter. You are safe under the shadow of My wings. Nothing can harm you and you need have no fear. Your future is secure and certain within Me. Be not afraid to speak boldly the truth in love. I am with you.

Set Them Free

Inez Brinkley                         

Look up, child of Mine. Look up and see the rain.  Look up and see the darkness in the sky, the clouds, for darkness invades.  (You are of My light and the darkness cannot overcome you.)  But look up and see, so you will understand that many of My own walk in that darkness.  They are trapped by the enemy and don't know how to overcome.  

You will set them free.  You will release the prisoners in darkness who are bound up by their iniquities.  You will show them the path to My light which will dispel the darkness and gloom in their life.  I have trained you, nurtured you, for just this destiny.  Set them free, My child.  Release the prisoners from sickness, depression, and whatever holds them back from My light.  

I will do great things through you.  I will do it now.

Judge Not!

Barb Elflein

I have many children on the road to Emmaus, yet the critical eyes of their brothers and sisters are keeping them from their arrival. That place in the road where they meet me face to face and their hearts began to burn with the truth.

My children who have come out of this world do not examine their hearts. Within those hearts are hidden sins. Sins of gossip...sins of judgment. I told you do not judge your brother for with that same judgment I will judge you. That speck in their eye is nothing compared to the board in yours. Have you forgotten those words?

You are the ones keeping my children from seeing the God of Mercy that I AM. There is nothing that surprises Me, no sin on earth can shock Me. Sin is sin and equal in my eyes and yet your eyes are blinded to the Truth of a Merciful Loving God.

I died for all sins.I am Merciful, full of Grace and Love. I want these children to come to Me regardless of the sin in their life and you, OH people of God are the ones keeping them from Me with your judgments and critical eyes. If I have forgiven you of much how can you snub your noses at these children? How can you look upon them with disdain and judge them?

How can you not feel compassion for these that need Me as you needed Me? It is true that the sins of these children were not committed by you, but these children are not committing the sins of self righteousness as you are! Did I come to forgive only certain sins or the sins of all? I came for all!!! Stop looking at my children with judgment in your hearts!

The church is full of sin, you come to church dressed in fine clothes, hiding sins in your heart. Shunning the ones that need to know of a Merciful God. They will not find Me in these buildings that you built to exalt yourselves. I do not inhabitant the praises of the flesh.

I have begun the judgment of My House and this is only the beginning. Remember it is I who judges, it is my job. For you oh men of flesh and blood are not qualified to judge the heart and motives of my people.

The mandate that you have received is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, a gospel of LOVE, MERCY, and GRACE. You would be nothing without the Saving Grace of your God, do not be a hypocrite, you once were lost and now you are found, remember that as your eyes behold the sinners of the world. Examine your hearts and pray for the purifying Fire of the Holy Spirit that you may discern hearts and minds, not judge them.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One--He Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, but with him also who is of a thoroughly penitent and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the thoroughly penitent [bruised with sorrow for sin].

Matthew 5 3 Blessed (happy, [1] to be envied, and [2] spiritually prosperous--[3] with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

Psalm 139:23 Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Luke 6:41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye but do not notice or consider the beam [of timber] that is in your own eye? 42Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

Matthew 7:1 DO NOT judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. 2For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you.

Pleasing In His Sight

Jan Wilcox

As brothers and sisters in and by Christ we are obliged to treat one another exactly like our Lord treated those He was sent to serve, sanctify and save. He did it by the power of His Father, for the sake of and the fulfillment of His Father's Will. We must follow that same example, never losing sight of why and by whom we have been given this vessel of flesh and short span of time to exist on this earth.

The road to our true destination and real life everlasting is a progressive journey, that never remains the same. Its surface and environment (the circumstances of our lives) are always being renewed as our minds are being renewed, honed and made worthy of manifesting God's Will through our daily efforts to get in step and be aligned with His thoughts and plans for us. As we are now Christ's arms and legs, hands and feet here on earth (the church body) while our Lord sits at the right hand of our Father residing in the Heavenly Jerusalem.

As long as we remain honest and true in our motivations toward one another, according to the Word of God that was given to us in the Bible and rely on the power of Christ moving and living within us via the gift of the Holy Spirit, then we WILL be fulfilling our Father's Will and be pleasing in His sight.

Progressively, slowly for some, quicker for others, living as the scriptures ask us to and the Holy Spirit guides us into becomes a natural response that no longer requires us to question the motivations of others in order to discern our own.

To have a meaningful relationship with another human being, brother, sister, neighbor or enemy all depends on a real living meaningful relationship with Christ Jesus.

Now Is the Time

Gregory Crawford

In these days, I the Lord of hosts, am gathering My army!  Now is the time for My people who are called by My name to humble themselves and walk uprightly before Me, saith the Lord.  Now is not the time to be complacent or deceptive in your service to Me.  

Serve Me and worship Me in spirit and in truth, for I will use those who wholeheartedly devote themselves to walk uprightly and seek My face and not deny My name.

Now is the time to unite as one in faith and purpose, realizing that I alone will reward those who are true to Me no matter what the cost!  For I will truly intensify My anointing upon My true servants and handmaidens. They will stand before rulers of nations and declare My Word in these last hours. The signs that are spoken of in My Word will accompany their ministries and they will expose the workers of iniquity and liberate those who truly desire to be set free.

Do not be weary in well doing. For I am soon to return to set up My kingdom and I shall surely reward those who endure to the end.

Standing Imperfect (Before The Lord)

Jane Larsen

You are not perfect.  I do not expect you to be.  Do you think that I would be happier and it would be easier for you to come before Me if you were perfect?  What, in your eyes, is perfect?  Think of these things.  Perhaps it is a statue that is carved by the hands of man and has no flaws and no life?  It cannot move so it can do nothing.  It cannot feel so it can cause no harm.  Yet for its outward perfection, it is but a lump of cold stone.

There is a battle on earth between good and evil and you are in the midst of it.  There is a way through, there is a way to victory, and it is when you keep your eyes on Me and do not listen to the lies of the enemy.  I have told you this, that he searches and seeks as a roaring animal, seeking who he can devour with his lies, his words of guilt, his tricks. When you listen to Me, when you hear My word, when you immerse yourself in My word, you will know his lies and you will see clearly what he is doing.  Does anyone go to war unprepared?  Do they not go forward after great preparation?  This is your time of preparation.  Every day you are being prepared, you are learning more, you are accomplishing more, you are standing taller, you are stronger.  The arrows are being flung back one by one.  This is not a war that will end when you know it, always be prepared, always stand on your guard, always look to Me.  I will bring you through all of this.  I will set you in a safe place.  I will give you the words to speak, the wisdom to walk on, the peace to continue.

I have watched you.  You have stood in damaged places and wept.  You have been in the eye of a great battle.  You have seen your families damaged, health damaged, peace damaged.  I tell you that from ruins I can build a city.  From the dust of the ground, I can create.  From whatever is left, I can bring times of refreshing and rejoicing and I can restore a hundredfold all that has been damaged in this war.  Do not look at the dust and the chaos anymore, but to Me, Who is the light, Who makes a way through the desert and a path in the wilderness.  Look to Me, Who takes your hand and leads you through and will not let you trip over a stone.  

Look to Me, you who are the apple of My eye, whose very hairs on your head are numbered and known by Me.  I seek a loving and willing heart. I do not turn away from your imperfections, I work in them.  I do not lock you out because of your sins, I wash them away in blood and leave you clean.  I set you free.  Nothing can harm you for your Father is ever with you.

I know the thoughts of your mind and the desires of your heart.  I will answer you before you finish speaking.  I will restore what has been damaged.  I will keep you through the battle and deliver you from the mouth of the enemy.  In a while, a little while, a short time, I will move you away from this to fields of restoration.  Your eyes stay on Me and Mine are focused on you.  I am your safe place, your calm in the storm.  In Me you will find refuge.

Let Me Clean Things Up

Ras Robinson

There are some hindrances that must be cleansed and purified. Ask of Me if you do not know. You and I are going up the mountain to places beyond your mind to understand or reach by yourself alone. But first you must sanctify yourself completely and change all your garments. The garments of this world will not be sufficient. You will be clothed with My glory says the Lord God Almighty. Let Me clean things up.

Exodus 19:20 And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

A Going In the Mulberry Trees
 
Olivia Reitz Long
 

And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.  Joshua 3:5

 
 
Beloved, I have been calling My Faithful Ones aside to rest at My feet and to listen for not only My Words of Wisdom but also for My instructions which will ultimately follow.  I have  also been calling you to sanctification, a cleansing in preparation for what is to come.  I have asked you to see the sin in your life and to repent bringing every area of your life, both in your outward life and in your inward life, before me cleansed. Examining every recess of your life, even to secret sins. All preparing you to hear the 'going'  but before this could be, you had to sanctify and ready yourselves before Me.  Called to repentance and sweeping clean every area of your house removing any Achans that would jeopardize in your final hours of preparation. This is not the time to allow anyone or any thing to hinder what I AM doing and as always - being willing and obedient,  open to MY instructions as to your moving out and  'doubt not' for the I AM is always and forever with you!
 
See entering My favor, restoration and blessings for you will!  See visions and dreams that I have given you coming to pass, for they are!  See the anointing that I AM about to bestow upon you, for I AM!  See doors open that have been closed, for they will!  See walking in signs and wonders, healing sickness/disease and raising the dead, for you will!  As you remain at my feet, see it all and listen ..... Do you hear the sound of marching?  Do you see that the Presence of the I AM is beginning to manifest itself?
 
My Beloved,you will hear the sound! You will hear the sound in the mulberry trees! You will hear the sound of the "going!"   A Going in the Mulberry Trees!  You are about to hear the sound of the going in the mulberry trees for your God is on the move!!!

No Private Sin

A. W. Tozer

Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened.... --1 Corinthians 5:6-7

No sin is private. It may be secret but it is not private.

It is a great error to hold, as some do, that each man's conduct is his own business unless his acts infringe on the rights of others. "My liberty ends where yours begins," is true, but that is not all the truth. No one ever has the right to commit an evil act, no matter how secret. God wills that men should be free, but not that they be free to commit sin....

Coming still closer, we Christians should know that our unchristian conduct cannot be kept in our own back yard. The evil birds of sin fly far and influence many to their everlasting loss. The sin committed in the privacy of the home will have its effect in the assembly of the saints. The minister, the deacon, the teacher who yields to temptation in secret becomes a carrier of moral disease whether he knows it or not. The church will be worse because one member sins. The polluted stream flows out and on, growing wider and darker as it affects more and more persons day after day and year after year.  The Size of the Soul, 74,77.

"Lord, this is especially true of us who are leaders in the church. Show to me and my fellow-servants this morning the horror of the consequences of our sin. Keep us pure and faithful, for Your glory. Amen."
