PREGNANT WITH SUPERNATURAL POTENTIAL
I have placed the seed of the conqueror, in all My children, according to My will. This seed lies dormant in almost all of them. This seed is only germinated by faith. This is why without faith it is impossible to please Me. I am not pleased when a child of Mine, lives in spiritual poverty and My body suffers because of it.
The seed is not placed there for the benefit of the child who possesses it, but for the body I have connected them too, and for the greater body at large. Remember this seed is not yours, it is My seed in placed in you, with eternal kingdom purpose. The seed is called supernatural potential.
The seed is a combination of burden and gifting. This is a small seed that grows and with age as droplets of faith are added. If the carrier of the seed does not learn to meditate on Me, and spend great deals of time with Me, there will not be enough faith to germinate the seed, and it will lay dormant even for a lifetime. I have children carrying seed to touch and bless millions, that die a lonely and bored of life, because the seed was never germinated by faith that comes from the secret place with Me.
When I am ready for a seed to germinate I will lead them to a body of believers that I have planned for them to bless. The church has it backwards, the body is to be blessed by the member not member by the body. When a blind eye is opened who is blessed the eye or the whole body? The eye does not know it was healed but the body rejoices that it no longer needs to grope around in darkness.
When you as a member allow Me time to speak to you, it will build enough faith to germinate the seed in you and the burden will soon consume your life, then the gifting turns the burden into a physical manifestation that blesses and adds to the body. The carnal church turns people into numbers, to be calculated in dollars and cents.
My church sees people, as Me putting My body together connecting bone to bone and joint to joint, conforming to a definite Devine plan. The finished product being a healthy local cell to be divinely connected to tens of thousands of other healthy cells. These healthy cells when all fit together in love, form a beautiful bride for My son. He will then present you to Me, a single healthy member of a single cell, among tens of thousands of healthy, perfectly joined cells, of the universal bride of Christ.
Bring your burden, or dream seed, to Me and let Me fertilize and incubate it with My presence, in the secret place, until your faith germinates that seed and I join you to a local body. I only have use for a body part when it is connected with the body. I have plenty of body parts and they are of no use to Me, because My son will not insult Me by introducing Me to a body part. You are to be a part of the body not a body part!!! The body needs you, so come into My presence today, while there is still time.
1 Corinthians 12:14-31 (AMP)
For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. [15] If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not a part of the body? [16] If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not a part of the body? [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? [18] But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each particular one of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. [19] But if the whole were all a single organ, where would the body be? [20] And now there are certainly many limbs and organs, but a single body. [21] And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. [22] But instead, there is absolute necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak. [23] And those parts of the body which we consider rather ignoble are the very parts which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum), [24] Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack apparent importance, [25] So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation of the parts of the body to each other, but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. [26] And if one member suffers, all the parts share the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members share in the enjoyment of it. [27] Now you collectively are Christ''s body and individually you are members of it, each part severally and distinct each with his own place and function. [28] So God has appointed some in the church for His own use: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; speakers in different (unknown) tongues. [29] Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles? [30] Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way one that is better by far and the highest of them all--love.
Romans 11:29 (AMP)
For God''s gifts and His call are irrevocable. He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.
1 Corinthians 3:3-16 (KJV)
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? [4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? [5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? [6] I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. [8] Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. [16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Romans 12:3-17 (KJV)
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [4] For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: [5] So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. [6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; [7] Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; [8] Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. [9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. [10] Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12] Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13] Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. [14] Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15] Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
If you want what I want, then you can be sure the best is yet to come. If you have read My word, then you have a head knowledge of what I want. If you spend hours alone with Me each day, then you have a heart knowledge of what I want.
I hear so much of what people want, now here's what I want:
I want an army, and I want unconditional love controlling that army. I want a people that are called by My name and have My heart. I want all things restored to where the creator and created are one in spirit. I want a people that are pure and holy and fully matured to be the bride of My son. I want to fellowship and continually commune as friend with friend with all My children. In the end I will get what I want!
To get what I want, I must begin to separate the peoples of earth. The sheep and the goats as it were. The process is rather simple. The separating process, has been going on for a long time in third world countries and sheep are easily recognized. Poverty and hardship are the two ingredients that separate sheep and goats. This is why, in first world nations, sheep and goats are difficult to decipher and are yet to be separated.
I am now ready to begin the separation process in those nations. Here is how the process works. When suffering touches a nation, all people have two options, save themselves or save others. If they choose to save themselves, they are goats, conversely if the choose to save others, they are sheep.
If you are waiting to provide for the suffering in the future, you do not have My heart. If you are already coming to the aid of those in need, then you most likely have My heart. However, having My heart will only be known for sure, when your giving is truly sacrificial, where your loss is their gain. This only comes from a heart knowledge.
If you have only a head knowledge of what I want, you will save yourself and let others suffer. The religious leaders had a great head knowledge and crucified Me. Heart knowledge comes only through relationship. Much head knowledge puffs up the ego, causing love to wax cold, letting the needy die or leaving them to someone elses care.
The separating process is so simple, the carnal and worldly wise never even realize they are in the process. I simply fill their communities with needy people. Everybody, instantly reveals a sheep or goat nature, a head or heart knowledge, by their response to the pain of the suffering. The needy are also included in the separation. Many needy will not choose to give their lives for other needy ones, because they have no interest in a relationship with Me.
Please do not plan to loose or save your life, because this is not a head choice. Loosing is a heart response. If your heart has not been changed, in the moment of choice, you will save you life, no matter how much you had planned to loose it. If you are not loosing your life right now, you should be very concerned about your heart condition. My heart seeks out the needy, it does not wait for them to show up. Is your heart as My heart at this moment?
The separation will be very quick, as goats and sheep are known by their fruits. If you are PLANNING TO BE anything, you are on the wrong road, but if you are in the heart changing room, you are on the right track. The heart changing room is the secret place building a relationship with Me. Do not join the deceived saying, "when I have more, I will do thus and so," your head will always reply, "not yet, you need more." Take My advice beloved, come into the secret place with Me, beginning today, and receive a heart transplant.
The best is yet to come, because the separating kicks off; the building of My army, the identifying of the bride, and a one on one, relationship with Me. It signifies ending of birth pangs, My unconditional love shed abroad, and the revealing of the unspotted church. It is the start of My kingdom coming to earth and My will being done as it is in heaven. If you are not excited, check your heart, for it is not as My heart. This is the time all creation groans for.
Matthew 25:31-46 (AMP)
When the Son of Man comes in His glory (His majesty and splendor), and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [32] All nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them the people from one another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; [33] And He will cause the sheep to stand at His right hand, but the goats at His left. [34] Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation, inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me, [36] I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me. [37] Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink? [38] And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You? [39] And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You? [40] And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least in the estimation of men of these My brethren, you did it for Me. [41] Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! [42] For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, [43] I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care. [44] Then they also in their turn will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? [45] And He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least in the estimation of men of these, you failed to do it for Me. [46] Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life.
James 2:14-20 (AMP)
What is the use (profit), my brethren, for anyone to profess to have faith if he has no good works to show for it? Can such faith save his soul? [15] If a brother or sister is poorly clad and lacks food for each day, [16] And one of you says to him, Good-bye! Keep yourself warm and well fed, without giving him the necessities for the body, what good does that do? [17] So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). [18] But someone will say to you then, You say you have faith, and I have good works. Now you show me your alleged faith apart from any good works if you can, and I by good works of obedience will show you my faith. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder in terror and horror such as make a man''s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin! [20] Are you willing to be shown proof, you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from good works is inactive and ineffective and worthless?
Luke 10:30-37 (KJV)
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him , and departed, leaving him half dead. [31] And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. [32] And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him , and passed by on the other side. [33] But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him , [34] And went to him , and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. [36] Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? [37] And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
1 John 4:16-21 (KJV)
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. [17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. [19] We love him, because he first loved us. [20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? [21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Romans 8:16-23 (KJV)
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together. [18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, [21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. [22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [23] And not only they , but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit , the redemption of our body.
If you want what I want, then you can be sure the best is yet to come. If you have read My word, then you have a head knowledge of what I want. If you spend hours alone with Me each day, then you have a heart knowledge of what I want.

SECOND GENERATION CREATORS OR COPYCATS WHICH ARE YOU?
SECOND GENERATION CREATORS OR COPYCATS WHICH ARE YOU?
You are created in Our image and I am the creator of all that exists. So why is it that you insist on copying other people and depending on the world to come up with inventions to meet needs. If you lack wisdom, I told you to just ask Me for it. Inventions in the last days are going to be much needed to survive. Meditation and invention are inseparable.
Possibility dreaming, often called daydreaming, opens your mind up to all the creative powers of heaven, if your life is centered in Me. Think of what you have cheated yourself out of, by not recognizing who I really am and what I want to bestow on you. You are so wrapped up in the impossible that you have resigned yourself to the natural.
Some have music that has never been written before, the music of heaven and yet they sing the same old tunes or copy others music. I have tunes and notes that only angels have heard, but I am waiting for musicians I can trust, to keep it pure, to play and sing it back to Me. I want musicians who truly no how to wait on Me, and who are after My heart, as my servant David did.
I have millions of creative ideas to give out, to all that ask. The ideas cover every possible facet of human life. Haven't you heard Me say, " I will make a way where there is no way," and what do you think this means, and who do you think I addressed it too. I am talking to all My children. Day and night I watch My children struggle to find a way, when I have exactly what they are looking for and will give it to them freely.
Millions of times a day I hear the phrase, " how are we going to," the only phrase I use is, "let there be." Your problem is, you are not directing the question to Me, here in the secret place. I am the revealer of mysteries, the source of all inventions. The enemy does not and cannot originate, he only copies and perverts that which already exists. All inventive ability that man possesses comes from Me. All evil inventions are the perversions coming out of an evil heart captured by the enemy.
You will be amazed at the provisions I have stored up through invention. The greed of evil men has blocked millions of inventions that would make living easy and affordable, for even the poorest. Poverty is the result of greed. Greed is the result of love waxing cold. Love waxes cold when I have been rejected. I gave one of My children the secret to running your automobiles on water, and they murdered him. Many have been forced into selling out, or robbed or murdered because they did not understand the powers of wickedness in high places, when threatning their greed.
The world system is now run and dependent on the greed of a very few evil, satanically controlled, men. All life is expendable, if it means more money. You are beginning to experience the results of a world without love. But I have a remnant, they have not counted on. I have salted the earth with My people, motivated by My love and empowered by My spirit, these love not their lives even to death.
They will form an army that I will personally lead to victory over all the greedy inventors of evil. Until that time you can be an overcomer in the natural as well as the spiritual by asking Me, "how to." Meditate and day dream and ponder past the impossible and I will create ideas in your spirit that will provide for My people.
You are to discuss these ideas with only a select few, as people will either discourage you or steal or block the divine idea. From now on ask Me first, " how am I going to," and meditate and wait on Me for the answer. Now begin to ask Me, and watch what I do. Nothing is impossible.
Genesis 1:26 (AMP)
God said, Let Us Father, Son, and Holy Spirit make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.
Colossians 2:3 (KJV)
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Daniel 2:47-49 (AMP)
The king answered Daniel, Of a truth your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a Revealer of secret mysteries, seeing that you could reveal this secret mystery! [48] Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and he made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon. [49] And Daniel requested of the king and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained in the gate of the king at the king''s court.
Proverbs 9:4-6 (AMP)
Whoever is simple (easily led astray and wavering), let him turn in here! As for him who lacks understanding, God''s Wisdom says to him, [5] Come, eat of my bread and drink of the spiritual wine which I have mixed. [6] Leave off, simple ones forsake the foolish and simpleminded and live! And walk in the way of insight and understanding.
James 1:5-6 (AMP)
If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God Who gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. [6] Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.
Matthew 13:11-12 (AMP)
And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. [12] For whoever has spiritual knowledge, to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Psalm 10:3-4 (AMP)
For the wicked man boasts (sings the praises) of his own heart''s desire, and the one greedy for gain curses and spurns, yes, renounces and despises the Lord. [4] The wicked one in the pride of his countenance will not seek, inquire for, and yearn for God; all his thoughts are that there is no God so He never punishes.
Proverbs 1:18-23 (AMP)
But when these men set a trap for others they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. [19] So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain; such greed for plunder takes away the lives of its possessors. [20] Wisdom cries aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the markets; [21] She cries at the head of the noisy intersections in the chief gathering places; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: [22] How long, O simple ones open to evil, will you love being simple? And the scoffers delight in scoffing and self-confident fools hate knowledge? [23] If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I Wisdom will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.
1 Thessalonians 2:5 (AMP)
For as you well know, we never resorted either to words of flattery or to any cloak to conceal greedy motives or pretexts for gain, as God is our witness.
Ephesians 4:17-19 (AMP)
So this I say and solemnly testify in the name of the Lord as in His presence, that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility of their minds. [18] Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is beclouded. They are alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God with no share in it; this is because of the ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the willful blindness) that is deep-seated in them, due to their hardness of heart to the insensitiveness of their moral nature. [19] In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves a prey to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity that their depraved desires may suggest and demand.
Romans 1:30-32 (AMP)
Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [31] They were without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless. [32] Though they are fully aware of God''s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.
Matthew 24:12 (AMP)
And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,
Luke 12:16-21 (KJV)
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
1 Corinthians 13:5 (AMP)
... Love (God''s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; ...
Matthew 7:8-11 (AMP)
For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened. [9] Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? [10] Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? [11] If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven perfect as He is give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!
You are created in Our image and I am the creator of all that exists. So why is it that you insist on copying other people and depending on the world to come up with inventions to meet needs. If you lack wisdom, I told you to just ask Me for it. Inventions in the last days are going to be much needed to survive. Meditation and invention are inseparable.
Possibility dreaming, often called daydreaming, opens your mind up to all the creative powers of heaven, if your life is centered in Me. Think of what you have cheated yourself out of, by not recognizing who I really am and what I want to bestow on you. You are so wrapped up in the impossible that you have resigned yourself to the natural.
Some have music that has never been written before, the music of heaven and yet they sing the same old tunes or copy others music. I have tunes and notes that only angels have heard, but I am waiting for musicians I can trust, to keep it pure, to play and sing it back to Me. I want musicians who truly no how to wait on Me, and who are after My heart, as my servant David did.
I have millions of creative ideas to give out, to all that ask. The ideas cover every possible facet of human life. Haven't you heard Me say, " I will make a way where there is no way," and what do you think this means, and who do you think I addressed it too. I am talking to all My children. Day and night I watch My children struggle to find a way, when I have exactly what they are looking for and will give it to them freely.
Millions of times a day I hear the phrase, " how are we going to," the only phrase I use is, "let there be." Your problem is, you are not directing the question to Me, here in the secret place. I am the revealer of mysteries, the source of all inventions. The enemy does not and cannot originate, he only copies and perverts that which already exists. All inventive ability that man possesses comes from Me. All evil inventions are the perversions coming out of an evil heart captured by the enemy.
You will be amazed at the provisions I have stored up through invention. The greed of evil men has blocked millions of inventions that would make living easy and affordable, for even the poorest. Poverty is the result of greed. Greed is the result of love waxing cold. Love waxes cold when I have been rejected. I gave one of My children the secret to running your automobiles on water, and they murdered him. Many have been forced into selling out, or robbed or murdered because they did not understand the powers of wickedness in high places, when threatning their greed.
The world system is now run and dependent on the greed of a very few evil, satanically controlled, men. All life is expendable, if it means more money.

I DESPISE THE SNOOZE BUTTON
I DESPISE THE SNOOZE BUTTON !!!
The snooze button is a tool of satan, offered to all My children. He is well aware that time spent with Me, early in the morning, will hurt his plan the rest of the day. When your body is tired, I can restore it with a single hour of deep sleep. When your soul is weary, a week of sleep, will not refresh you. Most people have little need for body rest, they need rest for their soul.
By hitting the snooze button, or listening to the satanic soft words, "it's early, go back to sleep", you unknowingly, increase the weariness of soul. Fear increases the grinding of teeth, pacing the floor, going back to habits, and tossing and turning all night, because your spirit has not had it's daily refill of power, that brings rest to the soul. Eventually this will lead to depression and then to sinful pleasure. When the basic questions of life are not answered, it causes many to have a nervous breakdown, or find temporary rest in expensive medications.
Your soul can only receive rest from your spirit. When you neglect your early Morning time with Me, your soul carries the unsolved problems of yesterday into today, and today's into tomorrow. The combined weight of a week, month or year, will eventually collapse the soul, expressed by the words, "I can't handle any more".
This is exactly where the enemy wants you, because without knowing the cause, you will blame Me for your depressing situation. There is no snooze button on the rooster, my alarm clock for centuries. Modern society forced the rooster to the country, and replaced him with an alarm clock. Then as soul unrest caused more and more bodily weariness, they added a snooze button which squeezes out every ounce of time with Me.
Now the western church is in such unrest it does not even resemble My church. It's members are going to the same drug counters, watching the same entertainment, indulging in the same pleasures as the world, to find soul rest. A thousand snooze buttons will never bring you soul rest. Get up early and stay awake, talk with Me, and you will find rest for your souls.
Proverbs 8:17 (AMP)
I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing and make melody. [8] Awake, my glory (my inner self); awake, harp and lyre! I will awake right early I will awaken the dawn! [9] I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations. [10] For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great, reaching to the heavens, and Your truth and faithfulness to the clouds. [11] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth.

Give not unnecessary sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids; [5] Deliver yourself, as a roe or gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. [6] Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!-- [7] Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler, [8] Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest. [9] How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? [10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down and sleep-- [11] So will your poverty come like a robber or one who travels with slowly but surely approaching steps and your want like an armed man making you helpless.
Proverbs 3:20-26 (AMP)
By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew. [21] My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion, [22] And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self). [23] Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. [24] When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. [25] Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes for you will be guiltless, [26] For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught in a trap or some hidden danger.

[40] And again He came back and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what answer to give Him. [41] And He came back a third time and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough of that! The hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinful men (men whose way or nature is to act in opposition to God). [42] Get up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand!
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31 (AMP)
But those who wait for the Lord who expect, look for, and hope in Him shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up close to God as eagles mount up to the sun; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS... NO, IT ALREADY HAS!!!
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS... NO, IT ALREADY HAS!!!
Everything you have tried, are trying and ever will try has been tried in the generation before you, and the generation before that and the generation before that, even to a thousand generations and they all failed. They failed at trying to find true peace and joy, doing it their way.
Why is it that people do not understand that, all else, has always failed and will fail continually? Flesh only appears to be successful. The fact is, the fall of man, doomed every possible chance of success, to failure. Apart from Me, death is stamped on every activity of man, no matter how noble. Every emperor that ever lived, died an utter failure, without Me. Kings, presidents, scholars and peasants alike, all are lumped into one category, FAILURES, without Me.
If My people could only understand how easy I have made it for them. Over and over I have explained that life on earth is very temporary. Now you see it. and now you don't. Everyone, thinks that life on earth is going to have it's own rewards, yet nothing could be further from the truth. The most noble of them, think leaving a heritage for their children is based on material goods. The truth is, if you left the whole world, to your son or daughter and never taught them how to walk with me, I would label you, worse than an infidel.
The only heritage you can leave your offspring is the experiential knowledge of how to walk with Me. Nothing further is needed, because you will have passed on the keys to a kingdom, a kingdom, they will never loose and cannot be stolen from them. You will have passed on the source of inner peace, that their peers are unsuccessfully trying and dying to attain. You have passed on the secret to eternal supply and fulfillment. Not in an abundance of material goods, but the satisfying peace that I am their God and I cannot and will not fail them.
Do not use the phrase, 'when all else fails', because all else has already failed over and over again for thousands of years. There is nothing new under the sun. Generations only repeat the same things attempted by their fathers, only to reach the same results, bones returning to dust. That car you saw in the scrap yard, someone could easily have traded their eternal life for it. The house that was just torn down, someone gave their whole life to pay for the original deed.
When the new world comes, every investment will be eternal. However those that have been born again, need not wait to invest. You can start investing today and the dividends are not possible to calculate hear on this planet.
The value of planet earth, is not possible for any human to calculate, for without discovering everything in existence and finding it's purpose and possibilities, one cannot put a price on it. Yet as it's creator, I know it's exact value, and your soul is still more valuable. The earth will pass away, but you will not. An Eternal being, by it's very nature, is of much higher value, than anything limited to time. The earth's time is limited, and My eternal children are not.
So stop wasting your time, building what will be torn down or sent to the scrap yard. Build yourself an eternal house, by investing your time in Me. Hang out with Me and see how exciting, the little time you have left, will be. Enjoy the thought of perfect peace in every situation.
When you learn to walk with Me, you will really have something to leave your children. All else has already failed a thousand times, so don't waste your precious time, trying it again. Do things My way, you will be so glad you did!

John 15:5-6 (AMP)
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me cut off from vital union with Me you can do nothing.

James 1:10-11 (AMP)
And the rich person ought to glory in being humbled by being shown his human frailty, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

Revelation 3:17-18 (AMP)
For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

Mark 8:36-37 (AMP)

1 Timothy 6:6-8 (AMP)
And it is, indeed, a source of immense profit, for godliness accompanied with contentment (that contentment which is a sense of inward sufficiency) is great and abundant gain.

HOW LONG CAN YOU TREAD WATER?
HOW LONG CAN YOU TREAD WATER?
What happened, you started out fine? You used to move mountains, with your mustard seed faith. I remember when your life was one testimony after another. You were the one everyone admired, because you dared to step out of the boat, when the others chickened out.
Let Me tell you what happened. You started hanging out with bad company. People that told you, to settle down and stop making a spectacle of yourself. The ones that told you, you needed to be more balanced. The same people that told you to get back in the boat, you were becoming an embarrassment to the church. The moment you listened to their words, you began to look down, and see how far out you were, and fear began to sink you.
Now you are like every other man, sweating the small stuff. Circumstances have reached your armpits, while at the same time, I am calling you to do the impossible. Stop questioning Me, when it's you who are looking down. Your legs are cramping because you have been treading water so long. Look up at Me, take My hand and begin to walk on water again. Stop struggling to make things happen, and walk with Me on top of the water. I want to restore that crazy faith of yours that made people jealous and drew people to Me.
Now is not the time to look at negative circumstances, because the sea of negativity is so deep, you will drown quickly. Last day gloom will overwhelm you in moments. Your friends in the boat, are not your friends at all, and they are totally unaware of the big hole in their boat. The water is filling their vessel and they will soon be calling on you to save them? You need to stop making excuses and blaming others. Repent of hanging with the faithless and perverse.
I will restore everything, times seven. The boat people are going to need you, quit talking about the price of food and gas, do you think I am broke? All these things do the Gentiles seek after. You will have all the gold, silver and commodities you need, when you need them. I am making a way for you to provide for the boat people. You and those I have joined you with, are all part of My kingdom plan.
If the armies of the world, being evil, know how to provide for their troops, how much more do I, the Captain of the Lord's hosts, know how to provide for My troops? I am commanding you to shake yourself, get rid of every weight that causes you to doubt and sink. It is not about you soldier, it's about the weak and defenseless that I died for. The enemy governments will fall but My government is eternal and My army never loses a battle.
Oh, and by the way, just so know, you are only going through the exercise of collecting the spoils of war, because I already won the battle and defeated the enemy for you.
There was no way, you could have gone into hell and ripped the keys of death and hell from the prince of darkness, and came out alive. I did the hard part for you, I hold those keys now, so you have no excuse for failure.
Now come into the secret place with Me, and receive your orders for the day. Remember the day you neglect the secret place and your daily orders that day you will surely sink. From now on soldier, let Me hear only praise from your lips. Now go forth and remember, how Much I love you, My Spirit and My angels will go with you, to assure you of a successful day.
Galatians 5:7-10 (AMP)
You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth? [8] This evil persuasion is not from Him Who called you Who invited you to freedom in Christ. [9] A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church. [10] For my part I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will take no contrary view of the matter but will come to think with me. But he who is unsettling you, whoever he is, will have to bear the penalty.
Matthew 14:28-31 (AMP)
And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. [29] He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus. [30] But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me from death! [31] Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
Revelation 1:17-18 (KJV)
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Romans 8:36-39 (AMP)
Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. [38] For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, [39] Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 6:31-34 (AMP)
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? [32] For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. [33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. [34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
Ephesians 5:19-20 (AMP)
Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and instruments and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, [20] At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
What happened, you started out fine? You used to move mountains, with your mustard seed faith. I remember when your life was one testimony after another. You were the one everyone admired, because you dared to step out of the boat, when the others chickened out.

THE RED SEA...WHAT NOW?
THE RED SEA...WHAT NOW?
When I give direction it is always in part, because I know the nature of man. Man will alway yield to the temptation and attempt to complete in the flesh what I began in the Spirit. The soul hates being led around by the Spirit therefore it will repeatedly try to assume leadership with carnal knowledge.
Faith slowly transforms into assumption and leads the well meaning saint off on a tangent. For this reason I will only give the vision in part. Mature leaders will understand and patiently wait on Me for the revelation of each part and move only under My direction. Immature leaders will shipwreck along with their innocent followers, moving under assumption. Maturity usually comes after many shipwrecks, however time will no longer allow for the salvage of shipwrecks. My mercy endures forever but your time does not.
I gave Moses the leadership of millions of My people. I told him to lead My people out, I gave him no further instruction. The pressure on his flesh on the shore of the Red Sea was beyond comprehension. The destiny of millions was totally in his hands with sure death in front and fast closing in behind. The only answer was total abandonment to My further leading. There was no allowance for any assumption except that everybody is about to die.
Instructions for step two came only after step one was complete. Moses soul was completely abandon because the the feat needed was far beyond any assumptions of his mind, will or emotions. Moses had to rely one hundred percent on his experience with Me. In our private talks he became familiar with voice, so that when death was staring him in the face he simply said, " what now"?
With no time to analyze and millions of panic stricken people, facing sure annihilation, accusing him of genocide, yelling, "now what Moses", unbelievable pressure was put on his spirit man. Because of his time alone with Me, his spirit could more than withstand the pressure and paid great dividends in the time of need. Deliverance came out of intimacy.
In your time of intimacy with Me you have asked, "what next", however you have not yet arrived at the sea. The enemy is not moved in place, for the kill. With traces of worry in their eyes, the people are just now beginning to ask for answers. You will be so glad for the many hours of intimacy with Me. Those who have stayed in the closet with Me will be equipped to lead the moment step number one is complete.
The time will come when, the Spirit, soul and body are in proper order, and leadership is in order and the body is fitly framed together, and step one will be complete. I will then part the sea on a daily basis and confound the enemy at every turn. I will sit in the heavens and laugh at his confusion. My triumphant church will put to flight the enemy without firing a single carnal weapon. Stay in the closet with Me, you will be glad for every moment, when the time comes, to ask,"WHAT NOW"?
Galatians 3:3-4 (AMP)
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun your new life spiritually with the Holy Spirit, are you now reaching perfection by dependence on the flesh? [4] Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)--if it really is to no purpose and in vain?
Romans 8:6-10 (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit is death death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life and soul peace both now and forever. [7] That is because the mind of the flesh with its carnal thoughts and purposes is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God''s Law; indeed it cannot. [8] So then those who are living the life of the flesh catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. [9] But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the Holy Spirit of God really dwells within you directs and controls you. But if anyone does not possess the Holy Spirit of Christ, he is none of His he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God. [10] But if Christ lives in you, then although your natural body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of the righteousness that He imputes to you.
Exodus 3:4-10 (AMP)
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. [5] God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. [6] Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. [7] And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters and oppressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferings and trials. [8] And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey a land of plenty--to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. [9] Now behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to Me, and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. [10] Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.
Exodus 14:9-31 (KJV)
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. [10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord . [11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? [12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. [13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. [14] The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. [15] And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. [17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [18] And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord , when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [19] And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: [20] And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them , but it gave light by night to these : so that the one came not near the other all the night. [21] And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land , and the waters were divided. [22] And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground : and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. [23] And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. [24] And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, [25] And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. [26] And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. [27] And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. [28] And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. [29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. [30] Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. [31] And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord , and believed the Lord , and his servant Moses.
Daniel 11:31-35 (AMP)
And armed forces of his shall appear in the holy land and they shall pollute the sanctuary, the spiritual stronghold, and shall take away the continual daily burnt offering; and they shall set up in the sanctuary the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate probably an altar to a pagan god. [32] And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits for God. [33] And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some of them and their followers shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days. [34] Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and hypocrisies. [35] And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test to refine, to purify, and to make those among God''s people white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time God appointed.
Psalm 2:1-12 (KJV)
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord , and against his anointed, saying , [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Ephesians 4:11-13 (KJV)
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Romans 8:33-39 (KJV)
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. [34] 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. [35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When I give direction it is always in part, because I know the nature of man. Man will alway yield to the temptation and attempt to complete in the flesh what I began in the Spirit. The soul hates being led around by the Spirit therefore it will repeatedly try to assume leadership with carnal knowledge.
Faith slowly transforms into assumption and leads the well meaning saint off on a tangent. For this reason I will only give the vision in part. Mature leaders will understand and patiently wait on Me for the revelation of each part and move only under My direction. Immature leaders will shipwreck along with their innocent followers, moving under assumption. Maturity usually comes after many shipwrecks, however time will no longer allow for the salvage of shipwrecks. My mercy endures forever but your time does not.
I gave Moses the leadership of millions of My people. I told him to lead My people out, I gave him no further instruction. The pressure on his flesh on the shore of the Red Sea was beyond comprehension. The destiny of millions was totally in his hands with sure death in front and fast closing in behind. The only answer was total abandonment to My further leading. There was no allowance for any assumption except that everybody is about to die.
Instructions for step two came only after step one was complete. Moses soul was completely abandon because the the feat needed was far beyond any assumptions of his mind, will or emotions. Moses had to rely one hundred percent on his experience with Me. In our private talks he became familiar with voice, so that when death was staring him in the face he simply said, " what now"?
With no time to analyze and millions of panic stricken people, facing sure annihilation, accusing him of genocide, yelling, "now what Moses", unbelievable pressure was put on his spirit man. Because of his time alone with Me, his spirit could more than withstand the pressure and paid great dividends in the time of need. Deliverance came out of intimacy.
In your time of intimacy with Me you have asked, "what next", however you have not yet arrived at the sea. The enemy is not moved in place, for the kill. With traces of worry in their eyes, the people are just now beginning to ask for answers. You will be so glad for the many hours of intimacy with Me. Those who have stayed in the closet with Me will be equipped to lead the moment step number one is complete.
The time will come when, the Spirit, soul and body are in proper order, and leadership is in order and the body is fitly framed together, and step one will be complete. I will then part the sea on a daily basis and confound the enemy at every turn. I will sit in the heavens and laugh at his confusion. My triumphant church will put to flight the enemy without firing a single carnal weapon. Stay in the closet with Me, you will be glad for every moment, when the time comes, to ask,"WHAT NOW"?
Galatians 3:3-4 (AMP)
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun your new life spiritually with the Holy Spirit, are you now reaching perfection by dependence on the flesh? [4] Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)--if it really is to no purpose and in vain?
Romans 8:6-10 (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit is death death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life and soul peace both now and forever. [7] That is because the mind of the flesh with its carnal thoughts and purposes is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God''s Law; indeed it cannot. [8] So then those who are living the life of the flesh catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. [9] But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the Holy Spirit of God really dwells within you directs and controls you. But if anyone does not possess the Holy Spirit of Christ, he is none of His he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God. [10] But if Christ lives in you, then although your natural body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of the righteousness that He imputes to you.
Exodus 3:4-10 (AMP)
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. [5] God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. [6] Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. [7] And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters and oppressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferings and trials. [8] And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey a land of plenty--to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. [9] Now behold, the cry of the Israelites has come to Me, and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. [10] Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.
Exodus 14:9-31 (KJV)

THE UNSPEAKABLE AND INDESCRIBABLE PLACE
THE UNSPEAKABLE AND INDESCRIBABLE PLACE
Beyond the body, beyond the soul and into the spirit there is a place hidden from all casual passersby. It will never be discovered by accident, but only by the very desperate, who ask, seek and knock relentlessly until they find. Those who will not be satisfied with any form or ceremony, no matter how well presented and rehearsed it may be. The best of the best preaching and teaching cannot fill the hungry void of this desperation.
This desperation is all consuming and will only be satisfied by the presence of man's all consuming creator. It is the doorway to the restoration of all things. It is the final adorning of My bride. It is the full reality of the Song of Solomon, where all earthly desires are desolved into an insatiable passion for the Bridegroom.
Only the unspoken language of the heart after God, can share the experiences of this place in the Spirit. As long as your spirit is the prisoner of your body, full satisfaction of this spirit longing will never be fully satisfied. The human body, in it's sinful state, cannot withstand the impact of the fullness of My glory. When that final moment comes, I will restore the final item, death itself will be done away with, and you will be changed faster than you can blink your eye.
Until that time, your hunger will grow to a height where you are begging Me to return, that you might put on your new body, and enjoy the fullness of My glory. When you enter the third dimention of My church, you will be ready for this transition. The outer court people, will enjoy My salvation, the holy place people, enjoy My presence, but those who make it to the holy of holies enjoy the fullness of My Glory.
You and you alone determine your level. You may stay at what ever level you choose and enjoy your eternal salvation. However you can choose to press on, level after level and reach the unspeakable place, it all depends on your desperation for Me.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (AMP)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). [18] And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continued to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.

[18] And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Exodus 34:29-30 (KJV)
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. [30] And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
Matthew 25:20-23 (AMP)
And he who had received the five talents came and brought him five more, saying, Master, you entrusted to me five talents; see, here I have gained five talents more. [21] His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys. [22] And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, Master, you entrusted two talents to me; here I have gained two talents more. [23] His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys.
Matthew 5:6 (AMP)

[10] Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP)
Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking reverently and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened.

ARE YOU FEELING USED YET?
ARE YOU FEELING USED YET?
I hear the prayers of My children and I answer them and then they complain when I do. Many have earnestly prayed," use me Lord", and then when I use them they complain, " I feel like I'm being used". You don't understand that I, as the head of the body, do not need anything. The godhead is completely self sufficient and eternally has been and eternally will be. Humans need help, not us.
We designed a temporary program to sustain fallen man during his brief stay on earth, called, the helps program. It runs on humility and love. Every human has this gift available to them, but when they become born again it is no longer a option because My love transforms it into a supernatural gift that naturally flows to meet needs in My body and in the world in general.
If the gift of helps does not naturally flow from you, then My love is not flowing from you. Everywhere I went on earth I did good for people. To shut up your bowels of compassion for people is a deliberate act of rebellion against My nature. When you sing and pray," Lord here I am, use Me", where do think I am going to use you? Outside the human race you are use...less. I have all the angels I need to care for those tasks.
Whenever a need is presented to you, by anyone, consider it an answer to this prayer. When you pray, "Lord use me", and a little while later you over hear someone say," I have no way to the store", I am answering your prayer. Your overhearing was no accident, it was a divine appointment to answer your prayer. Most times, this is a phony religious prayer, in hopes of obtaining a place of carnal recognition, for some great revelation that wows the whole church.
Many people pray this prayer and are expecting a multiple choice answer. Desiring and expecting something they enjoy, in the mean time, they will pass by a 100 answers. In reality they are trying to use Me to get where they want to go. Carnal flesh forgets that I always look at the heart, so no one ever cons Me. I know your thoughts before you ever think them. The flesh has no chance with Me.
The truth is, very few want to be used by Me, they enjoy using, but resist being used, they want forgiveness, but resist forgiving, and they love to get, but fight giving. When you start to feel weary in well doing, instead of saying, "I feel like I am being used", say,"thank you Father for using Me". When I see that you are gladly faithful over a few things, then I will consider promoting you to many.
The next time someone asks you,"can you help me", say in you heart, "yes, of course Lord". I may ask you to change a tire today, or move some furniture, or drop off some groceries. I know you don't like to paint, but maybe I need a room painted. The next time I place a man or woman in line in front of you, who is short of money to pay their bill, I expect you to make up the difference, without prolonging their embarrassment or making them feel lesser.
You can forget about the teaching and preaching stuff, and you can prophesy until the cows come home, until you get this right, you are no more than a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol. When you get this perfected, you will be a teacher, and a preacher and a prophesier all in one, without opening your mouth.
Listen for the answer to your prayer, "sir... ma'am... Could you help Me please" and rejoice that you are about to be used.
Isaiah 66:1-2 (AMP)
THUS SAYS the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place? [2] For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being by and for Me, says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (KJV)
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. [2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1 John 3:17-18 (AMP)
But if anyone has this world''s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? [18] Little children, let us not love merely in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).
Matthew 25:37-40 (AMP)
Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink? [38] And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You? [39] And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You? [40] And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least in the estimation of men of these My brethren, you did it for Me.

KINGDOM PREGNANCY
EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT
A woman with child is in a very delicate state. Her whole way of living is different, she thinks different, she walks different, talks different, sleeps different, eats different, drinks different, sits different, and her habits are different.
Everything in her life is focused on protecting the life she is carrying inside her. Not one moment goes by, that some part of her live is not drastically different. Those around her are careful for as well. "Let me help you with that", is heard a hundred times over. All emphasis in her life, for 9 months, is bringing the baby to full term, and delivering a healthy child.
The father to be, is equally changed in attitude and lifestyle. He becomes extremely protective and overshadowing of both the baby and mother. His future, his name, his joy and his investments, are all inside her womb. No one dare cause her to stumble and fall or they will experience his wrath.
By now, you are seeing the similarities to you birthing My kingdom in the earth. You are carrying My kingdom within you the moment you say," not my will be done, but thine". These are the words that germinate the seed of the kingdom that was placed in you the day of your new birth. From that point on, everything in your life changes drastically.
Everyone that calls on My name, and receives My forgiveness of sin, is heaven bound. However, I am searching for those who will make a way, for Me to be earth bound. Those who will fertilize the seed of the kingdom, with the surrendering of their will, that My kingdom can be established in the earth. There is a noticeable difference in the two levels of commitment, both are heaven bound, but only one, allows Me to be earth bound.
Kingdom people, talk, walk, eat, sleep, think and live differently. All your habits and plans change. Everything in your life will be focused on carrying the life of the kingdom to full term, that My will may be done in earth as it is in heaven. The value of the persons is the same, the cost (the life of My son) was the same and the same price was paid for both. I paid the price for you to gain access to heaven, now someone must pay the price for Me to gain legal access to earth.
I am no respecter of persons but I am a respecter of commitment. The faith, love and devotion it takes to establish My kingdom in the earth is much greater than the faith needed to be born again. I gave My life for you to come to heaven, but you must give yours for My kingdom to come on earth.
There are many who carry the salvation seed for a while and either abort or have a miscarriage. There are also many who desire to establish the kingdom but will not make the commitment. Their time for Me is limited, I have limited access to their finances and assets. They have called on Me to save them, the have received My forgiveness but beyond that everything is limited, by their will. The action of the will is the total difference between a saved person and a kingdom person.
Kingdom people are less frustrated because I have revealed the bigger picture to them. They have more of My attention because they are doing My will. My will is to do on earth as I do in heaven. These have chosen to help Me do this so My respect of their commitment is greater.
Every born again person is eligible to be a kingdom person by a simple act of their will. The simple choice of giving your will to Me, does it. The choice means death to your lower, temporary, self life and taking on My higher, permanent God life. I have made a way for you to enter heaven, now will you make a way for Me to enter earth and answer My sons prayer. "Father, not will will be done, but thine be done on earth, as it is in heaven".
Luke 17:20-21 (KJV)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Acts 2:21 (AMP)
And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--Christ shall be saved.
John 1:12 (KJV)
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 12:46 (KJV)
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Matthew 11:12 (AMP)
And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force as a precious prize--a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Mark 4:2-8,14-20 (AMP)
And He taught them many things in parables (illustrations or comparisons put beside truths to explain them), and in His teaching He said to them: [3] Give attention to this! Behold, a sower went out to sow. [4] And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. [5] Other seed of the same kind fell on ground full of rocks, where it had not much soil; and at once it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil; [6] And when the sun came up, it was scorched, and because it had not taken root, it withered away. [7] Other seed of the same kind fell among thorn plants, and the thistles grew and pressed together and utterly choked and suffocated it, and it yielded no grain. [8] And other seed of the same kind fell into good (well-adapted) soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing, and yielded up to thirty times as much, and sixty times as much, and even a hundred times as much as had been sown. [14] The sower sows the Word. [15] The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown in their hearts, but when they hear, Satan comes at once and by force takes away the message which is sown in them. [16] And in the same way the ones sown upon stony ground are those who, when they hear the Word, at once receive and accept and welcome it with joy; [17] And they have no real root in themselves, and so they endure for a little while; then when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Word, they immediately are offended (become displeased, indignant, resentful) and they stumble and fall away. [18] And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word; [19] Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless. [20] And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit--some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some even a hundred times as much.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV)
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Luke 18:29-30 (AMP)
And He said to them, I say to you truly, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God [30] Who will not receive in return many times more in this world and, in the coming age, eternal life.
Matthew 7:13-14 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
Luke 9:62 (AMP)
Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God.
Matthew 13:38 (KJV)
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ;
Matthew 7:21 (KJV)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Luke 11:2 (KJV)
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Matthew 26:42 (KJV)
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
