June 7, 2024 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning, 

Listen My children, and you will hear with clear understanding My voice. I desire an audience with you and called for you to come and sit at my table and dine with Me. There are many things that I would like to share with you about how I will be doing great work for My people in the near future. All who hearken to My voice will see and hear the importance of tuning into Me. You have given undivided attention to many other pursuits in your life and I, the living water have been forsaken. You have dug many cisterns to cause water to flow through your energy and lifted those cisterns up to support you and forgotten Me. To hear Me you must spend time developing your ears. You have the ability to hear Me, you can hear Me. Many voices are vying for your attention, the enemy, the world, your peers, and your voice. You have followed and obeyed these voices depending on where you give your time and attention. I do not want you to miss this invitation. Many are called and few are chosen. I warned My people about the cares, and the lust of other things, other gods. Sometimes you forget that it applies to you. You forget because you occasionally seek Me, you tithe, you come to fellowship and worship but it is spoken, for those that are running after Me not to get weary in well doing.

Open your ears now and hear.

The more attention that you give the deeper our fellowship grows, and the easier you understand Me and My ways which should be known to you. The more you worship, pray, and spend time learning My word and fellowshipping, the more in tune you become. I share My secrets only with those who I know love Me because then you begin to keep My Word, those who love Me do as I say.They will abound in wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and revelation. All I ever wanted was fellowship with those that I love. I want your willing love and companionship. I love you so much that I prepared and planned a glorious destiny for you even before you were known. I wait for you to hunger for My presence, friendship, and My fellowship. I long to be wanted more than anyone or anything. I desire to share with you what I Am up to and I Am up to a lot, that My people should be sharing and should know. My people, My children, should know My voice, for My sheep hear Me and they obey Me. Yes, you should be hearing and obeying.

“And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” (Mark 4:19)

“The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” (Psalm 25:14)

“For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” (Jeremiah 2:13)

The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.

Good morning,
 
    The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.  This process will begin to reveal to you those hidden and coveted issues of your own heart.  The reason is always to make you a vessel of purity, never to make you feel condemned, as some think and even say of Me and those who will boldly declare My truth.  The enemy is an expert at misinterpretation and cunning when it comes to using words to ensnare and lead astray.  As you well know, words can kill or they can give life.  Listen to My Words now, know that I Am shaking My House in order to separate the pure from the impure, the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats.  The great divide has begun, so now is the time for your life to resemble the holy standard that I alone established.  Yes, I know those who are Mine, but you must know those who are Mine also.  Family should know their own family.  For by their fruit you will know them, do not be deceived by their great boasting words or their flamboyant displays of power.  My people will adhere to My Word, they will not try to twist My Words to accommodate their twisted lifestyle.  My people will live a holy life, not just make vague references to it.  Only follow those who follow My Word, for I have told you before that many false prophets and teachers are in the midst, leading and deceiving others to go astray off of the narrow way.  Teaching, and taking great pleasure in those who follow their examples, they are wolves in the flock.  This is the time for cleaving to the Lover of your soul and a time for great discerning, which can only come from intimate times spent with Me in the secret place.  You will see a great falling away of some who have known Me but do not be dismayed, these things must come to pass.  I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish.  Now, begins the purification of silver and gold, precious metals that endure great heat in order to become the purest.  Once the purification is done there is a small amount of pure metal that is found.  I will have My holy remnant.  I will have a chaste Bride.  I will have a clean House.  You be holy even as I, your God Am holy and perfect!  Keep looking to Me and you will see that My grace will make you all that I have promised that you will be.  It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says your God and Lord.
 
    "… Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts." (Zech. 4:6)
 
    "Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit." (Matt. 7:15-17)
 
    "And you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine." (Lev. 20:26)
 
    "..so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless." (Eph. 5:26-27)

There is nothing known or unknown that has power over My Word.  Every temptation, testing, trial, every snare, every trap that the enemy has laid before you, none hold more power than My Word.  

 
Good morning,
 
    There is nothing known or unknown that has power over My Word.  Every temptation, testing, trial, every snare, every trap that the enemy has laid before you, none hold more power than My Word.   Some of these things you are aware of, others you are walking straight into, know that I Am your Way.  I Am a good Father and I send help from on high.  Hearken to the voice of the ones that I send to speak to you and open greater doors.  
    Look not to the circumstances, look not at whether they are good or indifferent, look not to the circumstances, look only to My word.  For the enemy is a deceiver and he has gone out amongst My people to try to bring the deception into their hearts and into their minds.  He is twisting the very things, even those things that are bad to look good and those things that are even good to look bad.  I Am bringing discernment, a great discernment upon My people so that they can hear, know and walk through these times of testings or temptation, snares, and wicked devices that the enemy has placed  
against My children so that you can soar over them and not be caught up in them.  
    For the great separation has come and I have taken My sickle from heaven, and I have begun to set apart the wheat from the tare.  I know those that are mine and I discern those who are of the deceiver.  I have begun to separate the sheep nations from those that are goats so that My people might know.  I said to know those who labor among you because of the fruit.  Look at the fruit, look at what they are producing.  Do not look at the things that are going on around you look at the fruit that is being produced in you as well. I Am doing a great work in you.  No matter what is laid before you I say test it by the fruit and by My word.  Understand I Am speaking to My children, do not be deceived, a spirit of deception has crept in.  Stand up and discern.  I have placed and given you a spirit of discernment, it is strong on the inside of you even now.  Use it, exercise, yield yourself to the Spirit of the Living God and you will know and when I come I will find you winning, I will find you waiting, I will find you prepared and full of faith says the Lord.  Use what I have given you, every weapon that I have given you against the weapons of the enemy, they are the most powerful things given to mankind so that you can soar and be strong and victorious.  Do not lay down the power that I have given you to usurp the authority of the enemy.  You are more powerful than you will ever know as you yield yourself to the gifts and the great blessings and the weapons that I have placed on the inside of you.  Use them and yield yourself to them.
 
    "Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." (2 Corin. 4:18)
 
    "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matt. 13:30)
 
    "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you." (Luke 10:19)

A humble man or woman I will not despise.  I will lift them up to heights unknown, but the proud I resist.

 
Good morning,
 
    A humble man or woman I will not despise.  I will lift them up to heights unknown, but the proud I resist.  Those who stand in their own might, in their own wisdom, in their own strength, I Am not pleased with.  The humble recognize they need Me, and depend upon My help.  I will come along beside them and hold them up, they will stand when the arrogant and proud fall.  This is the season that you will see My great hand upon the humble. 
    Know that there is a season of a great falling away.  Many of those who called upon My name, they will not run with Me any longer, for they will not recognize that I have shifted.  They will not understand that I have shifted into a new gear that is taking My children to another place, another dimension, where they see Me, hear Me, and understand Me.  They have become hard of seeing and hearing, they are still bound in those ways of their own making, bound in their flesh, bound in their minds and I Am now calling My children up higher.  Calling them to a place where they rest in My power, My ability, My might, and My grace, knowing Me for who I Am.  Not falling into ways carved by pride, lack of wisdom, and lack of hunger and desperation for My ways.  I push against pride, I stand against pride for pride caused My angels to fall.  Pride is foolish and deceitful, it carries you down to the pit of hell, but the humble are those who recognize their only strength is in Me.  They will rise up, I will exalt them and stretch their borders and lengthen their stakes.
    This is the day that separation is coming to My house.  Understand that it has already begun.  Some have stood and looked and understood what is happening, but the separation has begun, sheep from goat, wheat from tare.  I have allowed the growing of these things together but now, says the Lord, I Am coming for My Bride.  My bride is being washed without spot or wrinkle, My bride who is separate, holy unto Me, she looks different, talks different, she responds differently.  I Am coming, says the Lord, I am coming for My church, and My church, My true church, My remnant church they are being prepared, being made ready.  They are hungry and thirsty, they recognize everything going on around about them but they march on.  The darkness that has come on the earth doesn't make them stubble, for they knew this day would come.  They are shining brighter, their light is not growing dim in the midst of darkness, they burn on, they march on because they recognize nothing can hinder them, nothing can stop them.  For this is what they have been called to and the desperation in their hearts is because they want to come home and be with Me and I Am making way and making plans for that to happen soon.  So prepare your hearts and your minds, stand firm, stand ready, stand watchful and be ever ready.  For no man knows the hour nor the moment that I shall crack that sky so I call My children to be ever ready.  Be ever ready, says the Lord, for I love you and I have prepared a place for you, and I Am ready.  For I delight in My children, those who are My own, they will never forsake Me nor turn their eyes to another lover, they are faithful to Me, and I Am faithful too.
 
    "All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats;  and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].  “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (Matt. 25:32-34)
 
    "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." (Is. 60:2)
 
    "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." (James 4:6)
 
    "So that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless." (Eph. 5:27)

 My people are asking what “am I” doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where “am I” in the midst of this?

Good Morning,
 
     My people are asking what "am I" doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where "am I" in the midst of this?  I Am where I always Am, I Am right in the midst, I Am the same deliverer and preserver.  In this time and in this season that you are in, I have allowed the wheat and the tare to grow together.  I have allowed the sheep and the goat to feed together and now in the midst of this I am separating.  I Am separating the wheat from the tare, I Am separating the sheep from the goat by My spirit.  I Am making a difference between those who are Mine and those who are not.  Those who are Mine, they are beginning to burn even brighter.  Like the city on a hill, their light is becoming extreme.  Their light is causing many to turn and see that there is a difference between those who are  completely mine and those who have been in My house who have not been faithful to Me.  So hold on to My hands, and do not change, for I am unchanging.  Do not alter your stand for Me, for as you stand strongly with Me and for Me, I will see to it that you are overcomers.  I will bring to your hands all that I have laid up for you.  Those hidden riches in secret places that I have kept for you will be given.  Because of your faithfulness you will abound in many areas, not only in the prosperity of this world, but in the spiritual richness that I placed on the inside of you.  It will come from you, flowing freely because you have sat and basked in the beauty of your Father.  You have stayed in My presence in the midst of diverse trials and tribulations, you remained faithful.  I will crown you with beauty and glory that this world has never seen.  You will be different, unique, do not try to be like everybody else for I have caused that separation to come.  Be bold, be strong, be courageous and shine brightly for the world needs the light that is being pulled forth from you during the dark hours of life.  Do not put out the light on the inside of you, let it shine forth brightly.  Follow Me, I will show you the way during this season.  Stay close, every step that I take, take the same steps, do not try to get ahead of Me, neither lag behind Me.  I never forsake My own, never, in the midst of every famine and every plague, I have always protected, preserved and prospered My own, so that they would know Me as all that they need.  I Am Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides.
 
     "Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness!  Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough." (Ps. 32:7)
 
     "You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God." (Is. 62:3)
 
     "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and deeds and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matt. 5:14-16)
 
Love,
