MESSAGE "Wiser Than Wolves"

"Time spent with Me is never wasted.


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


Do not worry about man's timetables.  
The world has it's own time .... it's own way(s).  
Satan is the ruler of the world system ... and of it's timing.  
I supercede (go over) all of that.  
My ways are NOT the world's ways.


Lean not on your own understanding ... do not depend on your limited human thinking.  
I am in another realm ... 
In the realm of My Spirit.


*****

My kingdom is not of this world.  
My people are not of this world.  
To be a friend of the world is to be My enemy.  
One cannot love both the world and Me.  
(We are like oil and water:  we do not mix.)


So, trust in Me (The Lord) with all your heart.  
Surrender your time, your day, your schedule, your life ... unto Me.


Relish the time we have together.  
(This is for ALL My children.)  
It not drudgery.  
It is not hardship.  
It is not duty.  
It is not a thing to be dreaded.  
I welcome our times together.


*****


Cherish, love, respect.  
Cherish Me.  
Love Me.  
Respect Me.  
I am your ally;  I am not your enemy!  
I am with you, even unto the end.  
I am your guide even to death.  
And ...  I am with you forever.


-pause-


I will help you to divide your time.  
You are My constant treasure.  
As I cherish you, I hope you will cherish Me.  
We are in this together.  
I am your Father who loves you dearly.  
I send you My love.


*******


Yes, I am coming into your atmosphere.


*****


When I bring the Water, will you drink?  
Are you thirsty?


When I bring the Bread, will you eat?  
Are you hungry?


-pause-  {wait and listen}



When I bring My fire, will you burn? 
(For Me?)


And when I bring forth My Wind(s), will you blow for Me?  
(i.e.  Be "blown" to Him;  be moving for Him;  swept away;  move with His Spirit ... His winds; be flexible, pliable to His movings}


I send you forth as lambs among wolves.  
But you are wise in Me. 
I am a smart Lamb.


I can track even the cleverest of wolves.  
I am wiser than the most cunning wolf.  
Walk with Me and we will be a strong Flock.


*****

Are you a *Jesus freak*?  
Are you *radical*?  
Are you a *God chaser*?


Are you *extreme*?  
Are you 100% with Me?  
Are you *in love* with Me?  
Are you My confidante?  
Are you with Me?

*****


Soon this life will be over.  
Time -as you know it- will be past.  
History will matter no more.  
You will be in the eternal;  in MY atmosphere.  
You will share My kingdom and taste of My glory.


*****


So I send you forth in many ways ... at My bidding, in My timing.  
You are not your own.  
You were bought with a Price.


*****


Glorify Me:  King of kings.  
Let your words be few, but let your love shine strong.  
Speak love, but SHOW love more.


Live lives of compassion.  
Take time to recognize Me;  My wonders;  My creative force.  
Take time to seek Me.  
Take time to find out about Me and My ways ...  and My love.


When you spend time with Me, it is NEVER wasted! 
I tell you (the) truth."

MESSAGE "Too Much Salt"

"They were ashamed of a people that could not profit them..." Isaiah 30:5a



 PART I


Indictment.
There is an indictment against the body of Christ. 
(Be sure it is not against the Christ ... it is against the members: the Body.) 
America is especially warned.


Too much salt. 
Too much 'gospel'. 
Too much 'teaching'. 
Too much 'preaching'. 
Too many 'prophecies'. 
The salt has lost it's savor.


Think about it: too much salt on food. 
No good. 
Good for nothing ... except to throw out. 
So it is with My church, My Body. 
My Body has too much salt; it is too salty ... it is saturated with brine. 
It is essentially useless.



Am I being too 'hard'? 
Am I wrong, My people? 
Look at America: look at the luxury ... look at the churches. 
Too much salt accumulated in one place.


What is salt for? 
Is it not to 'season' the food, and to 'preserve' the food? 
How is My Salt being used? 
Is it being hoarded up? 
Is it piled high in certain areas, while others are left desolate - with no salt ... no 'flavor' ? 
This is not My plan.



So where is all the salt being deposited? 
Where are the 'salt piles' ?




Look at your church(es), America.
Look at your lifestyles.
Look at your homes, 
your food, your entertainment ... is it not 'lavish' ?






 James 5:1-3
 "Go (to) now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 
Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. 
Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days." (Scripture reference)


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



PART II


Now, where is some salt needed? 
Where is there no flavor, no savor, no preservation?

This (also) is *witnessed* in your churches, America. 
It is just harder to see. 
(Mainly because it is often ignored.)


There are empty tables among you. 
There are crying, lonely people:  both adults and children. 
There are desperately poor among you ... and near you. 
There are sick, weak, scared, tired people all around you. 
Do you not care? 
Do you not see?


Maybe the excessive 'saltiness' has hidden (covered up and covered over) the truly needy.



Are you ashamed of a person - of people - who cannot 'profit' you? 
Do you see them ... and walk to the other side of the road? 
Do you purposely avoid them in your gatherings? 
Are they left out of your functions? 
They need salt, too."








Definitions: 
indictment = accusation or criminal charge
savor = flavor; season; special or particular taste or smell; special or peculiar characteristics; quality or distinction
lavish = using great abundance, extravagant, excessive
cankered = corroded
brine = water full of salt 

MESSAGE "Many will Stumble"

"Many will stumble. 
Many will fall.
You will stumble ... and you will fall.
Do you stay down .... or do you get back up?
Do you rest and recover ... or do you 'jump the gun' before you are ready?



All must be done in My timing. 
I have seasons for everything. 
Not all is as you expect or predict. 
My ways, My times ... are not are not (as) your ways or your times. Let Me be God.


If you follow Me, you will be shown the way. 
If you resist My leading(s), then you will go astray ... you will go off the path. 
When you refuse to obey Me (and My laws) ... ( then) you are 'out on your own'. 
Yes, I am watching you, but I wait for you to acknowledge Me and My place in your life.


Many 'sheep' have gotten lost, hurt, even killed; when they 'went their own way'.


-pause-


Sheep! I call my sheep! 
Listen! 
Listen for Me! 
Become quiet, and in silence you will hear Me. 
I will call you. 
I am your Shepherd. 
You know My voice.


I care for My sheep. 
I will lead you to where I am ... to My pastures. 
I love My sheep and (have) laid down My life for them (My sheep).


(The) sheep follow their shepherd. 
He leads them in to a safe place. 
He guides them by night and feeds them by day. 
He is at watch in the night and on alert for any danger. 
He 'runs off' the wolves: the enemies and predators.


The Good Shepherd can recognize His sheep--and a false sheep;  
He will expose and eject from His fold. 
(For many wolves wear sheep's clothing ...  and try to 'get in' to the fold to destroy.)


-pause-


Yes, I lead My flocks to higher ground  ... to walled fortresses  .. ... to strong towers. 
I defend them and I care for them. 
They are Mine."



***Continued ...


"I nurse them back to health when they are sick. 
I stay near the ones who are suffering ...  and are weak. 
I feed the starving sheep. 
I direct the steps of My flock. 
I show them the safe routes ... and the places of hiding.



If needed ... I hide them ... until the danger has passed. 
They are under My protection.


Yes, the sheep (may) cost Me My life ... but I willingly lay down My body for the flock. 
This is the life of a true shepherd.


A hireling will run in sight of danger. 
He will leave the sheep defenseless ... without a leader. 
Sheep with no shepherd. 
This is not good.


Once left vulnerable, the sheep becomes easy prey for (the) ravening wolves and beasts. 
The ones first attacked are the weak ones ... (and) the older ones ... the sickly ones ... the young, fragile ones. 
With no strong shepherd to cover (protect) them, they are 'open targets'. 
SO IT IS WITH MY HUMAN CHURCH!


The shepherds leave their flocks defenseless, open to attack, trembling with anxiety ... alone.


Neglected, abandoned flocks are all over. 
Shepherds are (mere) 'figure heads'. 
Many have the title (of shepherd) ... but lack the heart. 
To be a true shepherd, a man needs My heart  
... My love 
... My mercy 
... My strength 
... My wisdom 
... My discerning eye 
... My power 
... My compassion.



The false shepherds (pastors, prophets, teachers) will leave the flocks. 
They are only there for a paycheck; for the money ... and the 'prestige'. 
Most false shepherds are controlling, liars, sinful;  
full of lusts - greedy lusts; empty words, flashy (and/or condemning) personas (appearances).


Their idea of 'church' is a show. 
They put on a show every week and collect 'ticket' money.



The false shepherds fear the enemy. 
They have no power over the enemy. 
They cower in fear when real danger approaches. 
These frauds will be exposed for what they are.


-pause-


The negligent, evil, false shepherds will receive (the) greater condemnation. 
They are liars, frauds, angels of darkness disguised as ministers ... they are most evil.


They will receive according to their evil deeds. 
Unless repentance is evidenced, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth for the false shepherds among you.
 Repent."

MESSAGE "In The Night Seasons"

 "I will instruct you in the night seasons.


As far is the east from the west, so far have I taken your sins away. 

You are a new creature. 
Listen now ... I tell you the truth ... it is no lie. 
I come to set the captives free. 
My anointing breaks (the) yokes. 
You are free in Me.


Simplify your life. 
Do not allow stress to rob you. 
Continue in My Word. 
Listen for My voice. 
Seek My perfect will. 
Join together with Me and see victory.


Forget past struggles and failures. 
Determine to know Me.
Swallow your pride. 
Let humility clothe you. 
Forsake wrath. 
Climb higher with me. 
Soar to new heights. 
Love Me.


Yes, I will do a new thing.


Guard your heart(s). 
Still your soul(s). 
Learn from Me ... (for) I am meek and lowly in heart. 
My yoke is easy.


Sound the alarm (as I lead you). 
Let nothing be done for vain (selfish) glory. 
Let no man glory in My presence. 
I will not share My glory with another. 
Seek to know Me in My fullness ... My entirety.


Follow Me. 
I am your Good Shepherd. 
I will guide you with My eye. 
Crucify the flesh daily. 
My Word is *alive*. 
It will help you. 
It will speak to your situation.


Humble yourself in My sight. 
Do not forget to entertain (to help) strangers:  such may be My angels. 
Do not worship angels. 
They will be withdrawn ... if idolized.


Count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations. 
Let patience have it's perfect work."

MESSAGE "Weeping Prodigals / Coming Home"

{* i kept 'hearing' this in my mind/spirit(?):

  "The prodigals are weeping."}



"The prodigals are weeping.  
They are the sheep without a shepherd.  
They are lost ... nowhere to go.  
They feel abandoned ... rejected ... isolated ... cut off.  
They are scared and they are weak.  
They need a place to weep ... and to recover.

They need to feel My love ... 
My joy ... 
My peace.

They need to know (that) they are NOT forgotten.
They need to FEEL My presence ...
My anointing ... 
My power ... 
My glory ... 
My tangible anointing 
..... Me:  they need to feel Me.


They need to know that I am there .... 
I am there ...
I am HERE ... 
I am present .... 
I am a VERY present help in time of trouble.


I am close by (to) them ... I always have been -- 
I have watched them -- 
I have seen the tears ... 
heard their cries ... 
heard EVERY prayer ... 
knew their  EVERY thought.

  
I was with them, even if I withheld My (tangible/felt) presence from being totally recognized.


*****

I tested them.  
I saw them.  
I am STILL watching them. 
I see, I see.


I see HOW they have been hurt ... 
some tortured ... 
some wounded ... 
ALL feeling an isolation from Me.  
I have hurt with them. 
I cry, I cry.  
I have cried with them -- yes, I have.


-pause-
4:31am



"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but I shall deliver them from them all."

My ways are NOT your ways, says the LORD!  
I AM.  
I am ABOVE ... you are beneath.  
I RULE the Heavens ... 
I descend to Earth -- as I please, as I see need.  
I send My angels to 'prepare the way' ... to prepare for My visitations.




"Hark! The herald angels sing!"


Yes, My angels are My 'go ahead' team ... 
My 'advance army', as it were.


They (angels) will go ahead of Me, as I 'will' them 
... as I order them (to).  
My servants are (as) flames of living fire !
They are My mighty warriors ! ... 
They are a fierce brand --- a fierce force ! 
... A fierce foe to your enemy!


I speak, they run.  
I speak, they fly.  
They carry MY WORD very swiftly ... 
throughout the Earth ... 
through the skies ... 
through the clouds ... 
as It rests ... 
as It (then) rests where I will it (where I order It).


"He sent His WORD and healed them..."

*******


Listen!  
Listen to this ... 
My servants ... 
My HOLY ones  ...

 
My angelic army ... shall also be My reapers ... 
they will 'reap the harvest'....
the harvest of souls.  
They will 'bring in the sheaves' ... 
they will bring in My lost ones ... 
My 'harvest' ... 
My planted ones.



Yes, yes, yes ... 
My mighty angelic host shall indeed help Me ... 
they shall bring in My bounty ... 
they are My Royal Bounty Hunters ...!!! 

They will go and search out My lost farthings  ... 
My decadent ones  ...

My forlorn lost children...



They will bring them in ... 
some singly, some in groups ... 
some as gangs ... 
yes, they will Come to Me ... 
as I am waiting with My arms wide open ...


My arms are ready to hold them ... 
and to hug them tightly ... 
and to feel their heartbeat -- once again ... 
yes, ...our hearts will beat together as ONE --
... as one, once again.



*****



My prodigals shall now weep again ... 
yet -- it will be as tears of joy !!  
Tears of release !! 
Tears of deliverance !!


Tears shall flow freely ... 
and Richly ... 
and deeply ... 
as hearts are washed ... 
washed pure and clean ... 
as FREE from the darkness ....
as FREE from the assaults ... 
as FREE from the evil ones ... 
as FREE from the--- torment.



Yes -- Free at last !


Freedom reigns with Me ... 
"whom the SON has set free, is FREE INDEED!"



Don't you see?  ... 
don't you realize? ... 
that I am your Freedom? ... 
I am the way out (and back in) ...



I am the way out of darkness, fear, loneliness and torment ... 
and I am the way (back) in ... 
the way back to (My) light ... 
to My company ... 
to My presence ... 
to that freeing atmosphere 
... to the free and open atmosphere of My love ... 
of My peace ... 
of My mercy ... 
of My forgiveness ... 
of My defense ... 
of My vindication ... 
of My grace ... 
of My joy (!) ...
of My Rich welcoming.



I welcome all.  
I welcome My loyal --yet lost--followers.

  
I receive them (back) to Me ... 
and I will watch with anticipation -- 
as  they return."
