Russ Taff - Table in the Wilderness

The Book of Luke | KJV - narrated by Alexander Scourby

MESSAGE "A Table In The Wilderness" (reposted)


"You have come to the table again.
 The Table in the wilderness. 
Your table in your wilderness. 
 I will give you something for your hunger.

-pause-


You have merely 'scratched the surface' of My intentions for you (towards you)... regarding your life. 
There is so much more I have in store for you (and for all who diligently seek Me). 
 Stand fast in your pursuit of Me. 
 Yes, the battle rages (and wages) on - as it has throughout many civilizations. 
 But remember, I have not forsaken those who fear Me...who respect Me...who seek Me. 
 I honor My name and My truth.


I will not disregard your cry. 
I am cognizant of all cries, all appeals, all prayers from sincere lips (hearts). 
I hear the wretched heart cries. 
I see (and feel) the heartaches and the brokenness. 
I am not a God that is 'far off' and unfeeling. 
I am near to those of a broken heart. 
Yes, I see and I am going to make all things right in their time. 
I will make the crooked paths straight. 
I will bring peace to the troubled. 
I will comfort the weary. 
I am not willing that any should perish. 
That is My heart cry; My heart desire. 
I want all men, all people(s) to be saved and in My safe haven: My safe hand of protection.

 *****


I guide, I oversee, I put up and I bring down. 
Leaders, empires, nations, principalities...all (are) ultimately in my hand. 
I can do as I please with them. 
They (will) stand or fall by My direction. 
Oh, proud man, you are nothing in My sight. 
You will be humbled and brought low. 
I abhor the proud and the haughty. 
I am well- pleased by humbleness and meekness...those who recognize My sovereignty.

 -pause-


Those in the (natural) world will not understand spiritual matters. But they do see the world stage. 
They are becoming aware. 
Eyes are opening. 
Ears are listening. 
Some hear the call. 
Some will respond... and others will ignore (it). 
I am the caller. 
I am calling. 
Yet.

*****


Yes, ponder the skies. 
Question the spiritual leaders. 
Don't settle for status quo 'pat' answers any more. 
Go the extra mile. 
Go the distance. 
For I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me. 
In Me is wisdom. 
In Me is truth. 
In Me is love. 
In Me is security. 
In Me is eternal life. 
Seek Me, your eternal Saviour, and live. 
Seek Me and I will be found (of you). 
Seek Me while I am near. 
Seek Me and you shall find Me...when you search for Me with all your heart."





*******

cognizant = perception or knowledge of, aware of

wretched = distressed, miserable, tormented, afflicted 

principalities = territories (whether physical or spiritual); dominion, domain  

ponder = consider carefully, think deeply (about), reflect, meditate

MESSAGE "His Peace"

9:23am  4/10/20


"I shall rise up with healing in My wings.  I shall arise as the dawn at the horizon.
I shall soar over this land, as an eagle...and (indeed,  I shall) also soar over the entire world, says the Lord.

My peace  will be My hallmark.  Even in the midst of chaos, I shall remain your bulwark (safety)...your anchor...your hiding place.

Yes, I will be the stream of peace...that oasis in the driest desert.

My peace I give unto you...NOT as the world gives, give I unto you.

Drink deep of MY presence...for in Me you shall find your peace.

My love conquers all.  Indeed I am mighty, I am HOLY,   I am all-in-all...but I also am your link to eternity.  I am your *bridge to forever*.


9:27am pause

I come to the humble, and I take down the proud.  Be warned, oh arrogant ones...let not your hearts be lifted high -- for I will crush you as an insect.  Pride comes before a fall.  Let this be a warning and an impetus (compulsion, stimulus) to action:  to repentance!

Change your ways!
Change your hearts!
{Defy (the) arrogant ones--do not fall under their spell...for they will entrap your souls.}

pause

I am preparing to visit the earth...but in MY way, says the LORD.  I will come (as) unexpected.

From Me, you shall gain strength.  From MY SPIRIT, you will gain (a) new life.  From My Son, you will possess forgiveness of (your) sins.  From Me (your Father), you will feel My love...and My chastisement.  I chastise (correct, teach, discipline, correct) My children. 


I love you, My Creation...(yet) I desire ALL to be saved!

Many of you are only concerned with your own lives.  This is wrong.  You need to love all...you need to *love your neighbor as yourself*.

Selfless love is My love.  I came to save the world...that includes ALL...all races, all peoples, all forms of life.

I also care for My extended creation:  the animals.  I treasure them, as I do you.  I have given you (the) companion animals...to show you My love.  Take care of your companions...treat them well...protect them!

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

pause

I shall pour out (of) My SPIRIT  upon the earth...on ALL FLESH.  Yes--but it will be more of a rescue effort, than a *healing* event...for I am more concerned with (your) eternal souls, and more interested in (your) eternal destination.

I desire ALL people to be saved...to know Me...to be with Me:  both NOW, and in ETERNITY.

I am not willing that ANY should perish!  I came to destroy the works of the enemy (the devil, satan)...and the last enemy to be eliminated is death.

My life will take away the sting (pain, sorrow, fear) of death.  My presence keeps you in perfect peace.  Let My presence, My glory, My peace...enter your soul(s).


9:42 pause

My peace, which passes understanding;   shall keep your hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus.

Remember, (that) the Name of Jesus is higher than ANY other name.

"Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you".

I am not a man, that I should lie.  I do not lie, as humans do.  I am the way, the life and the TRUTH.  I am truth.  You can put your trust; your faith, in Me.

Let My truth(s) reign (control, direct) your lives.  Seek Me while I may be found,,,for your time may run out sooner than you think.

To each, a time is granted (planned) to die, and to leave this earth.

You do not know the exact timing of your demise;  of your death...therefore, it is wise to call upon Me, while you have the chance...while you still have time!

Call upon Me, and I will answer you...and I will show you great and mighty things (of) which you know not.

As you call upon Me, I will show you things of My kingdom...and I will be welcoming you when you exit this earthly realm...

I will welcome you, with open arms...as you enter My kingdom.


9:50 pause

Be released from earthly worries.  Let go of anger.  Let go of worry.  Let go of fear.  

Be free! Be free! Be free!

Rise above the clamor (unrest, noise, fury, turmoil)...and rest in Me.



Like (As) it  is written...as I have said...*Come unto Me, all you that are weary and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest*.  

In Me, you shall find rest for your souls."

MESSAGE "Not Of this World" (reposted)



"You are not of this world." - St. John 15:19a


 "You are not of this world. 
You are an 'alien', so to speak. 
You are a stranger; a foreigner, to this world.


Be 'in' this world, but be not 'of ' it. 
You are not your own, you were bought with a Price. 
My Son paid the Price for you. 
He has paid the ultimate Ransom. 
He has made the everlasting Exchange ... His life for yours.



He died that you may live. 
You have accepted this fact. 
You have asked, invited, prayed - for Messiah, My Son, to inhabit your heart; your spirit. 
He has accepted your invitation. 
He has come to dwell within you. 
You are part of His celestial body.


Again, you are not of this world.


You are a pilgrim travelling through a foreign, strange land. You are just passing through. 
This is not your home. 
Heaven is your home. 

-pause- 



Enter My presence with joy ... with thanksgiving. 
This is not (merely) a trite saying: it is survival for you. 
You 'must' praise Me ... for your own good! 
It is not an option: it is mandatory.


Am I a hard taskmaster? 
The reason for My command is for 'your' benefit, not to punish you! 
It is for your well-being ... (for) your connection with Me. 
Praise is a divine connection. 
It is 'plugging into' My atmosphere! 
You need My power. 
I tell you the way. Now, plug in!"

MESSAGE "The Real Me"

12:32am 3/28/20


"Call to Me...and I will answer you.

I may not give you the answer you are seeking;  nonetheless...I will reply.

I will answer...but, in My Time...and in My Way.

You assume to know Me and My ways...yet you are ignorant.

Most of My Body (My children, My disciples, My church) is ignorant of My ways....My voice...My power...My ability.

You seek a happy salvation...a happy 'walk'...a happy life.  

You seek riches,...fame...celebrity...influence...control.

Many look for a miracle with Me...yet refuse to follow Me.

Many call themselves *full gospel*...yet deny Me and deny My power.


-pause-


(There is a way that SEEMS RIGHT to a man, but the ends thereof, are of death!)

If you sincerely call upon Me...do not presume.

Do not assume.

Do not think you will be rewarded for your ignorance...and your willful defiance against Me!

My ways are NOT your ways!

I am above the ways of earth,...above the natural patterns.

The ways of My Spirit do NOT coincide with the meager, fruitless plans of man's religion(s)!

Wake up! 

Wake up from your slumber!


 -pause-


Many are the AFFLICTIONS of the righteous.

Did you not realise that fact?

The easy, comfortable ways (lifestyles) of luxury & wealth...are NOT from Me, says the Lord!

Those living in carefree abandon and posh surroundings are indeed deceived!

The rich will find it nearly impossible to enter into My kingdom.


-pause-



Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!...those who He has redeemed (rescued, saved, delivered) from the grave!

The meek (humble, crushed) will indeed inherit the eatth...someday.

The last shall be first....yes.

I turn away from the arrogant, from the proud.

I listen to the contritie (broken) in heart...the broken in spirit.

Pride turns My ear away...I will not listen to a proud man. (He must be broken first.)

Before honour comes humilty. (I honour those who are humbled.)


-pause-


Count it all joy, when you fall into diverse afflictions and hardships.  

In the battle for your souls, there is intense *warfare*;  most of which is in the mental sphere.

The mind is not to be trusted.

Emotions are a great deceiver.

Thought patterns are extremely controlling...and wicked!

Get rid of all the excess in you life.


-pause-


Run to Me.

Find your peace in Me.

Continue in your search for Me.

I am within the many facets of this universe.

I CAN be found.


-pause-


(The *real* Me is awaiting those who renounce their own ways...and lay it all down before Me.)

Reject all man's ways...the ways of dead religion.....and seek ME...the LIVING SPIRIT of the Most High God.

I will give you breath to breathe."

MESSAGE (this just came to me)....repost


about 12:29am  3-10-19

as you come out of the dark, it will be as one awakening from a nightmare...trudging up, out of a dreamlike state....as one weaned off powerful narcotics....it will be a brightness as you have never known...or, as you have long forgotten....

the things that held you bound will lose their attraction....they will fade...they will die out...you will even forget them.....yes, you will move on and upward...into greater freedom....onto higher ground...into a safe place....

for it is of MY power, says the Lord....it is from Me...and none shall stand against it...or Me...once My power is set in motion...

yes, you have endured much...and, yes...you have been seemingly lost.....you have felt totally rejected, forsaken, ignored, despised, forgotten....


but...those are all to be used in My plan...in My great deliverances taking place...i will restore to you the joy of My salvation....i will show you the paths of life once again...

yet, this time will be greater...you will KNOW...you will be persuaded...you will believe ....more so than ever before


many of you have come through the fire, so to speak...the hot fires of tribulations and the pangs of death....you have felt the deep darkness biting at your very necks...

 yet i have never forsaken you...i am the overseer of your souls, as well as your spirits...your eternal spirits are safe with Me...

for i know My sheep...My children...the humble ones..the broken ones...the afflicted...the weak, the lonely lost ones....those 'out of the way'.....

-pause-

these words are primarily for the weary, broken, bound up ones...those captivated by evil, those deep in the mire...those who have lost hope....

you may have rebelled out of hurt, out of anger, out of despair.......

i know your pain and your fear
i see your pain and your fear

but, get this.....i also see a new beginning for you......especially if you have lost your faith.....or, if you never believed.....i am the God of tender mercies and fresh starts...and of unknown peace....a peace that is not of the world....My peace is different.....

you will know it is all real...it is all happening...it is really true...it is new....a new hope...a brand new hope, such as you've never felt before.....or, have long forgotten...

...i am bringing solid assurance.....no need to get man's approval.....you have been tested and you may have been chastised.....but, it is all within My bounds of mercy

....look ahead with this new feeling...this new outlook....yes, i am bringing it to My broken ones.....for, yes...i am near to the brokenhearted

~ Psalm 91 ~


"He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:  my God;  in Him I will trust.

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome (deadly) pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you trust:  His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid for the terror by night;  nor for the arrow that flies by day;

Nor for the pestililence (disease, epidemic) that walks in darkness;  nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand;  but it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation;

There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For He shall give His Angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash (injure) your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the adder:  the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet. (demon spirits)

{God says}  Because he has set His love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him:  I will be with him in trouble;  I will deliver him, and honour him.'

With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

MESSAGE "Guard Down"


7:04pm


"America, you have let your guard down.  You have allowed disruption, disease, chaos into your land...into your minds, into your souls and spirits.  

When a country...or a people...or an individual; let their guard down, then they are vulnerable.  Many are susceptible to all types of turmoil, sickness, emotional torment and evil intention.  When a door has been opened, then a flood of trouble rushes in.  It takes the path of least resistance.  

America, you have opened MANY doors...MANY portals...and have thus brought in much trouble. Affliction.  Sadness. Contention.  Filth.  Horror.  Violence.  Satanic influence of a high order.

Yes, you have opened MANY doors....and the way is open for much unrest.


-pause-

Your churches have also allowed much evil to gain entrance.  By their disbelief, their sin(s), their lack of love and their lust(s)....they have caused much evil to get a foothold.  Many religious leaders have become only religion...and have forsaken ME.  They have left their first love. They chose dead religion in exchange for the LIVING GOD.

Many shall cry 'Lord, Lord'...and I will say..."I never knew you".

To whom much is given, much is required.


-pause-

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so...those who I have redeeemed (saved, rescued) from the grave.  Have you forgotten Me ?  With all the long, loud, wordy 'prayers', have you forgotten you Saviour?  To 'whom' are you praying ?   (It is certainly not I.)

You (church leaders) claim to know Me, but you do not!  Wake up! Wake up! Can you hear Me ? Is anyone listening? Can anyone hear the cry of My Spirit?  The cry goes out...to those who have an ear to hear.


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


The worst force facing you is fear...it will consume you...it will control you...and it will destroy you.
You have opened yourselves up to agonizing fear, due to your resistance and rebellion from Me. (Yet, you need a FEAR OF ME, says the Lord.)


When the spirit of fear is in command, it is very strong...and very ruthless.  Fear is a cruel taskmaster.  It will take your mind into depths of despair, hopelessness, anxiety, loneliness, worry, stress, sickness and paralyzing exhaustion.  THIS fear is NOT of Me.

The (true) fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...of understanding...of the ways of life. Fear Me...and not man.  I am greater than any man...(of anything in the world.)


Find Me.  Find Me again.  Return to your first love.  And, if you never really knew Me...come afresh to Me now. Humble yourselves in My sight....be honest before Me....pour out your complaint before Me....let your cries come freely and openly unto Me.  I will not turn you away.

Do not trust in man. Do not trust in the 'prophets'....for they are many, and they do not all hear Me.  Do not trust in any denomination, church, group, cult, leader, political leader, family member ...or even your own thoughts.

Be skeptical.  Be honest.  Be true.  Admit your catastrophe.  Talk to Me right where you are. Live in My light, not in man's ways.  Be open to My leadings...My signs....but do not trust all you see or hear!  Remember there is a great deception in the land...in the world. I know you are but flesh and you are weak.  

Wheb the enemy comes in like a flood...I WILL lift up a standard against him.  You must turn away from evil as well....turn back to Me....turn to freedom...to love...to seeking of My ways and My Holy Presence.  I am still upon the earth.  I am still contending for America, despite your sinful rebellion.

 I am a loving Father,,,,(but) do not take Me for granted."
