America Hear My Words

Marsha Allred

April 6, 2005

"I have much to say to this nation. Hear My Words.

America, you began well - the men who formed your foundation called on Me to make their way clear - those who believed in Me - interceded with great power in My strength to bring forth this land of promise.

You have done well in much - and well you know those things for you recite them daily to remind Me - it is good.

Body of Christ - you are to be the soul of this nation of promise - but instead you have sold much of yourself to gain the comforts of the flesh forgetting how My Son lived on the earth - owning nothing He wouldn't give. I test you daily - Body of Christ, and you do not even notice. You are too busy striving for a tomorrow that may never come. Your life and who you are is not found in what you will accomplish tomorrow - your life is who you are right now in this moment.

Who are you in the face of the hungry? Where is the fount of your love in the face of divisiveness? When others express My Truth in another way - why do you insist it be your way alone? KNOW THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF - LOOK INTO MY WORD AND KNOW THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELVES AND THERE WILL BE NO DIVISIVENESS OR RANCOR IN MY BODY ON THE EARTH. Do not argue man's rules and divide the Body of Christ. Have I not said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand?"

Do you dare to call yourself a Christ follower and still hold bitterness in your heart against your brother? Do you dare to call yourself a Christ follower and out of your mouth damn the lost to eternal damnation? How dare you damn what I weep over? Have you known the sinner for generations before he was born? Do you know and have you seen the strategies and tactics of the enemy that has distorted his vision and twisted his soul into painful contortions? So you dare sit in your earthly throne of judgment, little king, and display your pompous benevolence on those you wish and damn the soul I love? I will take you from your throne and crush it into dust. I will show you the torment of those you condemn until you cry out for mercy for your soul - cry out for mercy for your own soul - as you should NOW be crying out for mercy on the souls tortured in bondage.

If America be your throne - My determination will not falter. I will throw out the whole basket of fruit for the rotted has destroyed the good.

Hear Me now and hear Me well Body of Christ.

You have one season to tend your tree. Begin now asking Me what remedy you might use to bring life to what remains. I will look for My Love to spread abroad to the right and to the left. I will look to see if forgiveness is flowing in your midst - I will look into YOUR heart of hearts - INDIVIDUALLY - even as every branch and leaf is inspected for insects and decay.

If I do not see the Body of Christ reflect the Glory of My Son in this nation in one season - I will begin to destruct your false throne and raise My throne in a land you never expected.

Do not say - "What of him - what is he doing?" - for you will raise My anger. Look to your own heart and be fearfully careful to follow the instruction I give you in the days of your life. I look for a humble and willing heart that continues even when it stumbles - that one who is ever walking towards My Son until that life disappears into His Own. I will not handle the hard heart - the stiff neck, for it will destroy itself.

If your heart is good you have much to rejoice in and many blessings of surprise and fulfillment await you. If your heart is bad - rejoice in your darkness quickly for your time is short.

Come - Come - Come - My Heart yearns to give you all things that we might rejoice together - Come into the flow of My Love and be swept up in it's Powerful current - You will be filled with life and deposit life every place you touch with your hands and every step you take with your foot.

This can be a glorious day - it is for you to choose - hold that future before you and walk your life into Mine. Know My Word - Know My Word. Your very life and the lives of your children depend upon My Word. Know My Word FOR YOURSELVES-and do not only listen to man." -------------- Note: This is not a word of ruin and devastation but one of hopeful promise. God is Love - all He is asking is that His Body on earth reflect that Love by loving each other and loving the unloved. He is not asking for perfection - only that when we stumble we do not give up but GET UP and KEEP GOING FORWARD INTO HIM. He asks that our hearts be humble and that we give an accurate accounting of ourselves to be what He asks of us to be - His Hands and Feet on the earth. In Joel 2:12-14 directly after the description of the destroying army sent to envelope God's people due to their sins he says, "Yet even now," declares the Lord, "Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the Lord Your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger abounding in lovingkindness, and relenting of evil. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a grain offering and a libation for the Lord your God?"

Luke 20:9-16,NAS "And He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard (a vine and vineyard is a scriptural picture of Christ and believers) and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time. And at the harvest time he sent a slave (a slave is someone who does not have freedom over his own destiny - he is forced labor to another - much as a sinner who does not know the freedom in Christ is a slave to sin) to the vine-growers that they might give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed." (Much the way false Christians beat the sinners among them with words of judgment and condemnation. Christ on the earth - never condemned a sinner who came - only the hypocritical believers in religion. Have we sent any sinners away empty-handed?) "And he proceeded to send another slave; and they beat him also and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out. And the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do: I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him. But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, "This is the heir; let us kill him that the inheritance may be ours." And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him." ("And the King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these, even the least of them, you did it to me." Matt. 25:40) "What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it, they said, "May it never be!" Isn't this what the Lord just said concerning America - that He would tear down our self-righteous throne and set His Throne in another nation we would never expect?

Luke 13:6-9 NAS "And He began telling this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, and did not find any. And he said to the vineyard-keeper, "Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground? And he answered and said to him, "Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down."

Matthew 7: 1-5 NAS "Do not judge lest you be judged yourselves. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it shall be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck in your own brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to take the speck out of your brother's eye." What would you think if you saw a man walking down the street - poking himself in the eye - beating himself with his fist-slapping himself in the face or cutting his fingers to the bone? I'm sure it wouldn't be "Well that's the life for me!" Yet the body of Christ walks through the earth doing just that - just how attractive is that for unbelievers? Some of us express our praise with instruments - some of us do not - some of us are more comforted by one truth than another - the only and most important line of demarcation is the Blood of Christ. It is the one undeniable, uncompromised truth - when He appears in the clouds we will remember nothing but that.

John 21:15-17 NAS "So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, Son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me:" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Shepherd My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Tend My sheep."

According to The Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible - the word "lambs" in verse 15 has its root in the phrase "to ramble freely". The word "feed" in verse 16 has its root in the phrase "revolve around".

Wasn't the Lord instructing Peter to allow his life to "revolve around" those who tend to ramble and might very well stray and be lost - much as in the parable of the lost sheep? Living in this way puts the life of the Christian at His Master's direction and not his own.

The Lord provided me with a living example of what He wants from us as His people just a few hours before He spoke this word. A couple days before, my husband suffered several strokes and was in the hospital. At the age of 56 after being a homeschool mom with not many "saleable" talents I am faced with the need to go to work. After leaving the hospital on this day I stopped for gas on my way home. Not having the slightest idea of how I will meet the financial needs growing by the minute - my mind was spinning with questions of the Lord, my soul felt numb and my body VERY tired. As I pumped the gas into the car I noticed a man who appeared to be homeless speak to a woman at a nearby pump. I sighed to the Lord, "Please don't let him come to me - I can't deal with this right now." Just as quickly - the man turned and came straight to me. "Ma'am, do you have any spare change? I'd like to buy a hotdog inside." My first thought was to dismiss him gently but the Lord seriously checked my heart. Instead I found myself saying I would buy him supper when I finished pumping my gas. Together we went inside as the Lord instructed me to buy for him exactly what I would want to buy for myself. I told him to choose a sandwich and I handed him a bag of chips. I knew I'd want a cold drink- he chose a Coke. As I went to pay, the Lord reminded me that each night after supper I like a small piece of chocolate. "What would you like for dessert?" I asked, "Cake, or candy?" "Oh ma'am," he exclaimed, "This is a lot." By then we were standing at the candy and he said, "Oh I love candy. This is my all time favorite." Before I could pay, the Lord reminded me of what a cold and blustery day it was and the sun was going down. "Would you like a hot cup of coffee after that?" I found myself asking. "Oh, that's okay ma'am, I've had coffee today." I paid for his meal including a large cup of coffee when he was finished - as the clerk asked if I also wanted a lotto ticket. "Jesus takes good care of me-no thanks." I heard myself say. and He does. The experience was real - but it was one of those times that seemed so automatic and yet not - it was purely a gift from the Holy Spirit who led me through in spite of my own reticence. I am not sharing it now to proclaim my purity - Lord knows that would be a lie - but to encourage myself and you to live your life "revolving around" the lambs that "ramble freely" and could be killed.

I truly believe the Lord has given the Body of Christ in America - one season - one season to "get it right" or we WILL LOSE THIS NATION. I do not know what is meant by "season" - if it be our natural season of a few months or a spiritual season. I DO know this: the picture of a teen being asked to do a chore came to mind. If he goes as soon as he is told and does the work with a willing heart-even if there are mistakes made in ignorance-grace is given with further instruction. However, if he or she sits at the TV. ten minutes longer - and finally, reluctantly goes to his work - judgment will reflect that. Excuses and buck passing are not acceptable. WE ARE TO BE THE LOVE OF CHRIST MADE MANIFEST IN A DARKENED WORLD - we MUST keep encouraging each other to listen to the Holy Spirit and do His Will - not our own will, but His. We NEED to ask the Holy Spirit to overshadow each one of us with the instructions for each day that we might make His Praise Glorious!!! Please - let's love each other and look at those enslaved around us through His Eyes - as we would want Him to look at us.

A curious, interesting one with some hopefulness in it.




Vision Of Gold and Fire

Judith Grobelny

April 18, 2005

This vision began with the fiery cloud of God that He has shown at other times. It was the fiery person of God, the Father being the outer covering, or creative head, over all.

The vast fire that is Jesus in the very heart of all of God’s creative redeeming love blazed and appeared almost a mixture of fire and blood, within the very heart of the cloud.

Extending from the cloud was a long arm of cloud that became as a finger that extended His life to all His creation – a finger gentle and yet powerful and precise – the Holy Spirit who continues to bring God’s personal touch to all He has created.

As I watched the fire began to erupt and flow, unstoppable, pouring upwards and outwards from this heart. It was like something erupting out of heaven and beginning to flow out high above the whole earth.

It began to rain down drops of gold and fire. Both gold and fire fell together into a great ocean (which I felt represented the ocean of humanity), and they were unchanged on contact with the sea. They continued moving, flowing, accomplishing God’s purpose as He continued to pour out of heaven without ceasing.

I understood as I watched that this outpouring would bring change to the very substance of all we know – nothing could remain untouched or unchanged except by deliberately erecting a barrier to it which would be extremely dangerous as it would leave deep darkness behind the barrier. There was a separation that became very distinct, fire or deep darkness.

Wherever the gold and fire touched, there was a turning around and a flow back towards the source of the eruption.

I felt the Lord quietly saying that this was shortly to come. That we should not be afraid or discouraged by what we saw but embrace the fire and gold and let it do it’s work in our lives.

The Lord reminded me that He had spoken of birth pangs and the signs that would be visible in this age and asked if He would have spoken in such a way if it were not true. I felt He was saying that there has been selective hearing and believing of His Word but all that He speaks is true. Men can not imagine what is to come.

Look around among the nations! For what you see will completely astound you! For what is going to be done in your days you will not believe, even when you are told.” Hab.1:5 (CJB)

I felt the Lord asking “Would you have things remain exactly as they are?” I felt that He was saying this was the time when He would move and many who have cried out and prayed will know that they have been heard.

I heard Him say there is yet another book to be written, and it will be The Book of Completion. All things will be brought to completion in the right way at the right time. I had a sense that it was going to be read in heaven; the book that contained the completion of all things He has ever spoken, and they will all have come to pass.

I will stand at my watch post; I will station myself on the rampart. I will look to see what God will say through me and what I will answer when I am reproved.

“Write down the vision clearly on tablets, so that even a runner can read it. For the vision is meant for its appointed time; it speaks of the end, and it does not lie. It may take a while, but wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.” Hab. 2:1-3 (CJB)

I understand, I was just wondering if Quix had an extrordinary calling/experience to be called by God to be a prohet like let's say a Samuel or Jonah type situation.Appreciate the scripture quote... What's the deal with Joel from Houston? Do people not like him for some reason that I am not familiar with? I think he's a great passionate annointed man.

Hi Quix, Wow! Thanks for pinging me to this.
 
One of my friends has been through a difficult time here lately, and I think the part of this word is pertinent to his situation. He is already waiting on the Lord, just as this word instructs believers to do. I think I will email him this link so he can read it for himself; it should be of great encouragement to him.
 
Quix, I know there are times when you speak of His sheep knowing His voice; here this says that soon He will say, "Get into the Ark." Let's ALL work to finetune our ears so we know His voice very well so there are no obstructions to our hearing His proceeding word as He guides us during these trying times. May each of us be counted among those who listen diligently, who have our entire focus on HIM !!!
 
How lovely, to be brought into a complete love affair with the Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus.
 
Noah had 120 years but Lot only had 24 hours to prepare. If I have only 24 hours to prepare to follow the Lord's word, will I be ready? Will I comprehend? Will I comply?
 
May I live my life today, tomorrow, and always, as His faithful, attentive, pure servant.
 
Here is part of that word, I want to highlight,
 
 
 

My true prophets and messengers have suffered greatly at the backlash they have received for speaking My Words. They wonder if anyone will truly listen but still they are obedient to speak forth what I have given them. I will heal all hurts, My Faithful Ones. I will heal the physical plagues that have besieged you which you haven't understood. I will heal you from all sickness and wounds - from accusations, from rejections, from condemnations and from every act that has left you weak and bleeding seeking and pleading to know when I would move.

I have asked you to wait upon Me ... to wait as I finalize My actions for your lives. Actions including separations from those not adherent to My plans ... actions to establish you in the place I have reserved for you, actions for everything to be in order.

This has already begun and soon MY true remnant will be joined together by My Spirit and filled with My Power. Soon I will say unto you "Get into the ark" as you will see the messages I have given you to declare coming to pass.
 
Be prepared to move forward at an instant, moving out with total faith, trust and courage in Me.
 
You have gone through much as Satan has sought to sift you as wheat but he has done nothing without My knowledge. In the process you have lost much but know I will restore everything the enemy has taken. There is a final move afoot, both by Satan and by MYSELF and I AM gathering My remnant. A people who have listened diligently to My heart placing their entire focus, not on the events of the day or on other men, but upon ME! Brought into a complete love affair with their Bridegroom.

I have drawn a line in the sand and My faithful ones have crossed over ready to take their rightful place in My end time plans. "For behold, darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness, the people, BUT the Lord shall arise upon My Faithful Ones and My Glory shall be seen upon them."

Be ready, for surely it happens suddenly, in an instant!
 
Thanks again Quix. Good work on your part.
JM

I like Joel, too. I think he's a passionate anointed man of God, too. And, that he does well for his age.

A lot of . . . . folks . . . hereon are very hostile and derisive about him. God will inform them how He feels about that in His time.

As far as I'm concerned, Joel is more authentic than he's given credit for. And, he's drawing folks to Jesus and to a deeper relationship in Jesus.

I'm really very reluctant to even speculate much about God's calling and anointing on my life. I don't feel I've gotten to the point where He's really ready to use me in such callings and anointings. I'm still in bootcamp and a seemingly endless series of refiner's fires.

I've had lots of heavy 'laying on of hands' prayers and anointings by folks I respected a lot and in who's lives I saw God move mightily--and, impressive to me--who walked in significant humility. And, I've had lots of 'prophetic words' prayed and spoken over me by impressive prophet types from around the world. And, there's been an amazing congruence even on things I've not told anyone that God has told me directly.

But most of that is on the shelf. I wait on God to see what He pulls off and confirms. It feels like I was created FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS in some list of respects. But it's still hard to guess very specifically what 'all that' will entail.

I just want to Love Jesus wholly and others like Jesus. I want others to see Him in my walk, life, words, deeds.

Thanks for your kind words.

Blessings,

I think it's beautiful that the Lord has called you. I was thinking about starting a women and childrens' organization and of course helping the poor, male or female.I'm currently in the process of fullfilling those plans. I had a question for you which was, not to be in your personal business or anything but have you seen miracles such as healing or the physically blind suddenly regaining sight? Peters',(I think) shadow healed those it passed over. What is it going to take to reach that type of annointing? I know it can't be a formula to be compared with like a dieting regimen but there must be some answer.I wonder if people needed to believe for those miracles to take place..getting healed just from his annointed shadow.

THX. No sweat.

I'm pretty open and vulnerable. But have learned the hard way that some things are best between The Lord and I for now.

Have observed/experienced some significant miracles. Not blind seeing yet. I expect most believers who really are close to The Lord; hearing His Voice, Obeying His Voice will see many dramatic miracles--even beyond Peter's shadow type. Hard to imagine. But I expect to see it. And, I expect to see it at the hand of young children.

God's blessings and heavy anointing on your ministry. I think such ministries as you are building are close to God's heart.

I'd love to build several orphanages and cities of refuge in certain overseas areas. Alas, I tend to give too much of my meager income away as it is! LOL. So, will see if such dreams ever materialize in the short time left.

Blessings big to you and yours,

That's great! I share that same vision . What did you mean by will see if such dreams will ever materialize in the short time left? I hope you don't think that the dreams are too far fetched. I mean God is a BIG God. I pray The Lord will give you more finances, as in not indicating that you are poor. My finances are pretty tight,for the right now but I believe that God has already ordained to give me houses that I did not build be it all over the world and so on.Never the less Quix God bless you greatly and thanks for obeying and listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and Praise God for allowing you to be a blessing in these times. Hallelujah. Don't ever stop. Amen.

I certainly BELIEVE that God CAN bless with enormous funds to build a series of orphanages and communities of refuge--overnight and out-of-the-blue, if He so desires.

I don't know for sure that doing so IS His priority.

And, I don't know how much time will be left before the capacities to build will be greatly more than a little complicated, if not impossible, IN THE NATURAL.

Certainly God can arrange all kinds of things supernaturally!

In any case, few dull moments for characters like us! LOL.

Thanks tons. God's abundant health, blessings, safety, provision, Love, Joy, Intimacy with you and yours.

I guess I still don't understand what you mean, maybe more detail is what I need. I had this vision since I was 13. Despite the wierd circumstances that I don't understand,not knowing how or when,maybe when I'm 80 or 99, it will come to pass... IN the Natural. Funds may not be the answer,maybe he'll choose to do so by someone giving,the whole Favor of God thing. My eyes are opened. If it's His will, it's His priority. I am not at all thinking you are doubtful,I am really trying to understand, if you sense that time on earth for man kind is short.like maybe an asteroid or nuclear war or horseman in revelation will wipe us out or maybe that your time is short. To put it bluntly, are you old and nearing that time of physical death and realizing that your time on earth is short? I won't take advantage of your vulnerability by forcing you to answer this. Humbly asking,know that in no way with honesty and purity of my soul,I'm not trying to be sarcastic,rude or crude at all. By your obedience of God, I am pleasantly blessed. Honor to God and due honor to you as well.

I feel warmly the same toward you. Thanks for your precious words.

Will try better, hopefully.

I'm 58. I have long lived ancestors as well as a few short lived ones.

I do think that the end-times events are progressing rapidly enough that I wonder how many 'large' projects can be BEGUN and COMPLETED in the time remaining. Probably more than I think. But it's a question--an unknown.

I've had the dream/vision a long time and it's easy to assume as many would teach that it comes from God. But I've had many dreams and visions.

And, while I realize that prayer and others and lots of things can figure into fulfillments of such--and I realize that many people I trust who hear God well have said that they believe God is going to enable me to do all that--it's still a bit 'pie in the sky.' I hope I'm not doubtful and unbelieving. I certainly believe God can do such.

But He has enabled me, blessed me with a wealth of skills and abilities--an embarrassment of such riches as it were--and all of them can't reach fulfillment--10 lifetimes would not be enough. So, I wonder at times, what His priorities are regarding this or that goal/dream/vision/ability etc.

I have had to offer up to Him everything repeatedly. I almost don't know what's left at this point. How does one keep everything continually offered up on the altar and yet pray confidently, faith-believing for a dream when it's but one amongst a dozen or 3 and one is not absolutely certain which ones are left as God's priority for the years left--whether the years left be 3 or 30.

I'm not trying to be difficult with you or God. I'm just . . . more than a little bewildered and ignorant at this point as to what God wants to do with me amidst all the prophecied options etc.

I have SOME SIGNIFICANT HOPE that I would be so enabled. I've certainly thought long and hard on various aspects of building such--in terms of archetecture as well as rules for living etc.

But I've repeatedly abandoned to God all that I am and all that I have . . . I'm sometimes not sure what's left.

Anyway--prayers for all the above and my hearing and obeying as well as provision--would be wonderful. Thanks tons.

Prayers for you and yours, too.
