Don't Be Discouraged, But Rejoice

Don't be discouraged, but rejoice for you do have the victory even though you might not see it at present. I AM doing a deep work of purification as you go through the testing and the tribulation. For I AM preparing you for the work that I will have you to do, and you must be ready. I AM calling a people so dead to the flesh that I will be able to trust them with the glory I will pour out. For I AM calling a people, a holy remnant, to greater works, and one must be in the state of mind of such consistency that would not want to stand in the way or to try to rob me of the glory.
I AM purging the church of all traces of manipulation and control even of My Spirit. I AM calling a people that will honor My Spirit and not try to get Me to work according to the will of man. For I AM the One with the authority, and you are only to be the vessel I AM to move through. You can't get Me to work according to your own time frame and plans. You are to yield unto Mine until My work is completely finished.
So many think that if they set up a date and plan for a revival, then I will show up. But it doesn't work that way, because the enemy appears like an angel of light and moves with counterfeit gifts and anointing to try to deceive others thinking that it actually is Me calling the revival together. Do not be deceived, but test the spirits to see if it is truly Me who is calling you to these appointments. I AM calling My people to be discerning and not one who will follow after men or even an anointing. Yes, do not chase after anointings or healings, but seek My face and My presence, and I will supply all your needs. If you will put My will first, I will take care of all your needs.
Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. Don't go after the fanfare or the amusement. Just because people are shouting and jumping doesn't mean they have the true joy. What I mean to say is look past the outward appearance and look to the heart of the matter. Do you sense My true presence in the midst of all the turmoil. Then if not, leave and seek My still small voice. I will lead you to that remnant that calls together a meeting led purely by My Spirit seeking My agenda. Even if it might appear like I didn't show up, they still will rest in My presence, because they don't seek the hype, the signs or the feelings, only My face and to worship Me.
Yes, don't be discouraged, but rejoice, because I AM doing a deep work in My called out ones. I AM preparing the remnant for an end time work never experienced by man of such intensity. Greater works I AM calling you to, but I need those I can trust. So that is why you are going through the sifting and the purging. I need those who are contrite and pure in heart, and then I will pour out My glory in waves. Yes, mighty tidal waves of glory I will pour out that will wash away the works of the enemy in My church. Those who will be left for Me to work through will be the faithful, My remnant, My bride.
Yes, I AM calling the overcomers, those who have endured through the wind and the rain, all the storms of life. They never gave up on My faithfulness to keep My promise of the vision given to them. And now is the time and the hour where I will pour out honor and blessings abundant. Those who loved not their life unto death and forsake all for My Kingdom. Yes, those who laid their lives down and of their own loved ones to prove Me faithful. My word means everything to them.
So pick yourself up and rejoice in the victory. Walk by faith and not sight and don't trust in feelings or circumstances, but in Me alone, and I will lead you through to manifested promises of life and health divine as I usher in the end time harvest of souls and through you, My beloved.
Set Free To Deeper Rest

For yes, I have come to set the captives free that they may have life and life abundantly. Worship Me in the Spirit of holiness for there is no other that can meet your need for Righteousness. If you will rely on Me, I will provide all your needs. Why do you fret, O captive sister of Zion? Why do you go about like there is no tomorrow? Escape the clutch of the evil one and run in the freedom of your God. For this is the day that I have come to transform you into My image.
Bow down before Me and I will bless you with what you need that will carry you to the end. For these are evil times that the enemy has come on like a flood with many deceiving thoughts that you will not make it to the end. But do not listen to him or pay attention to the lying circumstances that surround you. For I call you to just let go and let Me be God. Let Me do the work needed in your heart for that is why I allow the fire of My love to burn even higher in your life. I am burning out the dross and purifying you and preparing you for what is ahead. I am calling you to even a deeper walk with Me that calls for a deeper trust.
Do not accept defeat but continue to stand on My promises. Through the wind and the waves I will preserve you. Do not be anxious. Look past the signs saying you will not the reap the promise. What will you believe? Will it be what you feel or see or will you believe My Word. Don't rely on how long it is taking and still things look like they are getting worse. Hold on to Me! Reap the benefits of My promises by faith.
I will give you My wisdom and I will direct your paths in the wilderness. Yes, I will provide even streams in the desert. I am with you always to the end of time for I am eternal and you will go on in eternity with Me. So look past these natural and temporal circumstances. You are but a spirit inside a shell, and I am causing you to die out to the flesh and its nature. I will restore your youth as the eagle if you will walk in My Spirit. The secret to your success in Me is that you will not love your life unto death and that you will commit all that you love into My hands. Yes, all of your loved ones and everything that you have. Nothing can harm or rob what you commit to Me.
And I am calling you to a deeper rest for you need your strength for the final onslaught from the enemy. Yes, you will make it to the end because My hand is on you and I am calling you forth. I am your strength, your righteousness, and I am setting you free. Rest, My beloved, for this is the final hour.
I am overwhelmed with longing myself, Quix.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
~Psalm 42
Tag for later....
Amen. Amen! Amen!
God's best to you and yours.
Quix, don't you think the HS can do just that? He's done it with most of us. She's no exception. Time to start praying for our Congress critters and for the one man that God is preparing for 2008. HE knows who HE wants there. He's causing a shakeup in Washington and in the church. It's time we tuned in and listened. I'm sending you another good prophetic word I got today. Love you, Maryxxx
Certainly.
God CAN do a lot of things.
Whether He determines that . . . how to put it . . .
Believers and others in this country have behaved sufficiently for Him
TO DO is another matter, it seems to me.
Many of us have done all we could. I don't know how He calculates and weighs such things, of course.
Certainly praying for 2008 is a super high priority.
Thanks for the prophetic doc. Will look for it.
