In this season, God has really been dealing with worship. What is true worship? What type of worship does the Father want? How can we please Him with our worship and our praise? Early, this morning, the Lord gave me yet another vision...still concerning this worship. In a message God gave me, not many days ago, He began to show me that worship acceptable to Him requires true sacrifice...complete holiness...100% surrender unto the Father. Our bodies and lives must be a complete sacrifice if we want pure worship to go before Him.
In the vision, God began to show me that pestilences and the trials that are to come, just as many of them are described in the Word of God. I saw hunger and crime. People were angry, looting, and fighting. Many who once walked in a form of godliness began to deny the Father and His Son, in exchange for their pain to be relinquished. As I received a birds' eye view of the earth in turmoil and shambles for those who called on the name of Jehovah, the Father turned His attention to me. Simply, He asked, "Would you deny me?" Then, the Lord began to show me all the subtle ways I had denied Him in the past...sometimes it was something as small as accepting a prophetic word from someone, and not debating it because it was the "wrong place" or the "wrong time." Yes, I allowed protocol to keep me from standing for what God said. At other times, it was my job or a family member. They needed me when God called for my attention, yet I made the decision to do what "seemed" right, and I simply called it simple responsibility. Yes, God is dealing with my heart concerning Him. He is preparing me to be able and equipped to truly profess, "For God I'll live and for God I'll die."
As the vision moved on, the Lord had me to face a few of my biggest fears. First, let me explain that I am very claustrophobic, but praying even that God will lift that from me. I've also always had fears of dying by fire or drowning. In the vision, the Lord showed me the government of this very country taking my family into captivity. In an effort to make me deny Christ, they took my daughter, and dropped her down a tube that was only 1 foot in diameter. I was told the tube was 50 feet deep, and that my daughter would die on impact. In the vision, God asked, "Would you deny me?" I saw my family and church members all whispering and talking...some even praying that I would do the right thing. I cried until I was nauseous, but I kissed my 2-year-old daughter, and anointed her then as a martyr for Jesus Christ. In my mind, at least she would die quickly. Oh, how my heart hurt when heard her body hit the bottom of that tunnel. To my dispair, though, she kept crying and screaming for "Mommy." To intensify my pain, she had lived through the ordeal, and could not be pulled out. These same people, then informed me that my husband and son had already been killed, and that I would be next. My body literally felt broken and I thought of how tiny the tunnel was. I prayed that I would not get stuck and sufficate, but that I would somehow pass away before feeling anything. The guards told me that I would crush my own child, and told me I had murdered my daughter. They pushed me in headfirst, and my body broke in many places. They then dropped a torch behind me. The fear and pain were unbearable. I still heard my daughter's cries, but couldn't see her. Suddenly, I was overcome with a peace that I never felt before. I looked up and I was holding my daughter. "Well done", I heard from my Father.
I began to ask God why we had to suffer such things. Even before He could answer, I "woke up" from the vision. This morning, God began to speak to me again concerning this vision. I explained all that to speak forth the Word God has for His people.
Many of you are going through trials and tribulaitons as never before, and they will get even worse before they get better. A time is coming when we will all have to make "HARD" decisions for God, for our Father. We must let go of religion and the mentality that God will remove the obstacles. He never said He would take away the troubles, but that He would always offer a way of escape. As the Lord was speaking to me, He reminded me of this vision. He reminded me that while I was in pain and hurting, I KNEW I was pleasing Him. While others questioned my decisions, and while they seemed so cruel, He gave me a peace to bear witness in my Spirit. That peace, the Lord explained, is one that passes all understanding.
Over the last few months, mamy things that used to concern me no longer take the precedence they once did. My relationship with the Father has been exalted in priority. I desire to please Him more than anything. I love my family, I love my Church, but I realize what is best for them - God's best! I am truly being broken and reprogrammed by the Father, Himself. God is doing the same with so many of you. The world will begin to think that you just don't care - that you're simply not responsible. They will begin to question your humanity when seem numb to some of the things that shake others. PEACE. No, the problems will not disappear, but God will keep your countenance. Perfect worship relies in complete sacrifice and obedience. Yes, it's a journey, but we are well on our way.
Yet, there is a warning. When true worship goes before the Father, His presence dwells therein. The Scriptures tell us that our God dwells in the praises of His people. The Lord said that some of us will begin to experience His presence like never before. I am not talking about in a church service or a revival, but in personal prayer and worship time. Some will begin to receive visitations that cannot be shared or explained, simply because no on else will understand. We will learn, in this season, to keep some things between God and ourselves, because the eperiences will be that shocking, that abnormal, that life changing.
From the Scriptures, we understand that when the priest entered the Holy of Holies to worship and care for the temple, a string was attached to the ankle in case the priest was found with any sin. If so, the presence of God would strike Him dead. Because only God's chosen priests were able to enter the sanctuary, the rope was provided as a way to pull the body out if judgment fell. God's presence will be seen in the same power.
The Lord is sending His Shekinah glory. He desires to be among His people, but must first find those who worship Him in Spirit and in truth that the people will not be devoured and perish. Oh, how I long to feel the CLOUD of the Father. How I desire to dwell in His presence, with a cloud so thick that I am literally struck dumb. I want my praise, my worship to be that real and that pure to the Father. I want God to feel He is first in my life. I desire the peace that only He can give, that I'll be able to endure the trials and persecutions that are to come.
The Lord gave me a song to dance to this morning, and the words were simply:
This is my desire, to honor you
With all that is within me, I give you praise
Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me
This should be our cry. Our desire should be to honor the Father, to please Him. Ministry is not about what we can get. It's not about who likes us or not. It's not about money. It's not about having services. It's not even about jumping around, singing or shouting. At the end of the day, is the Father pleased, or has comprimise crept in again?
Where is the glory cloud? Shouldn't this be our goal - to honor the Father with such a praise that He desires to fill the room? To worship God to the point that our flesh is consumed? Ah, if I can invoke His presence here, I know the Lord will welcome me there!
Ex 40:34 Then the cloud [the Shekinah, God's visible presence] covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle!
Ex 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
1 Kin 8:10 When the priests had come out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Lord's house,
1 Kin 8:11 So the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
2 Chr 5:13 And when the trumpeters and singers were joined in unison, making one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments for song and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy {and} loving-kindness endure forever, then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud,
2 Chr 5:14 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
Ezek 10:3 Now the cherubim stood on the south side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud [the Shekinah] filled the inner court.
Ezek 10:4 Then the glory of the Lord mounted up from the cherubim to stand over the threshold of the [Lord's] house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory.

TRUE PROPHETS, Are You Ready?
This is a message of encouragement for the TRUE PROPHETS. When I finally accepted the office God called me into, He told me I would be a prophet like Elijah. I always admired Elijah, because the Bible expressed his fears. Yet he was dedicated to what God called him to do, and he was bold in his assignments, yet humble in the presence of His God.
This morning, the Lord brought the Scripture to me, and showed me the TRUE prophets of today going through the same thing Elijah experienced after challenging the Baal worshippers to call on their God. We all know the TRUE God answered by fire...
1 Kin 19:1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had slain all the prophets [of Baal] with the sword.
First of all, let's be honest. When the true prophets of God walk as they have been called and ordained to do, it's always the "punks" in the spirit that run their mouths. Yes, the true saints of God know how to get in their Father's face and inquire when there is question. Those who do not know how to tap into the Spirit are those that run around the church, looking for other demons to talk with and share their opinions. Hmm... Saints, we put too much emphasis on the talkers and sometimes miss the fact that the demons are where we need to focus our attention. Ahab was never a threat... He was just an informant. Stop stressing over the gossipers in the Body. That weapon formed will not prosper. Instead, focus on the demons that are rising to attack your very life and and ministry.
1 Kin 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.
When we begin to tear down the altars that have been built to idols, demons will be discomforted. How do you know when you are doing a work for God? Opposition comes. Discomfort brews. Yes, things will get hard. Saints, we must prepare ourselves to lay down our very lives...even to risk the lives of our family members. When some of us speak against the false gods in the "church," we must be prepared to RISK ALL. Don't underestimate the peoples' loyalties to their idols. Some are willing to die for their false gods. Are we willing to die for the true and living GOD?
1 Kin 19:3 Then he was afraid and arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba of Judah [over eighty miles, and out of Jezebel's realm] and left his servant there.
1 Kin 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a lone broom {or} juniper tree and asked that he might die. He said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am no better than my fathers.
Oh, can I be real? God is allowing many of us to come into a place where we are literally fighting through hell! Yes, it seems like your entire world is crumbling down. God showed me something about His prophets - they completely rely on Him. Some of us are being stripped for the sake of the anointing on our lives - that the gifts and callings may be perfected. God is seasoning prophets that do not depend on the flesh and things in the natural. He is raising prophets that listen only to Him, and not the testimony of man. Even moreso, God is stripping us in the natural, so no man can lay claim to us. We belong to the Father, and He will share His glory with none other. Are you ready to be fully committed? Again, it will cost you everything! We will get scared sometimes. We may even run and tell God we give up. If I can be honest, I've already been there LOTS of times. "God, I can't do this....Lord, why me?...God, I'm not strong enough." I'm learning it's okay to feel that way sometimes, because God is truly bringing death to the flesh! We must die to self, so that we instantly operate when instructed.
1 Kin 19:5 As he lay asleep under the broom {or} juniper tree, behold, an angel touched him and said to him, Arise and eat.
1 Kin 19:6 He looked, and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a bottle of water at his head. And he ate and drank and lay down again.
1 Kin 19:7 The angel of the Lord came the second time and touched him and said, Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you.
1 Kin 19:8 So he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and nights to Horeb, the mount of God.
Now we have the difference between a true prophet and the witches that want to prophesy. When God calls, the TRUE prophets answer. The TRUE prophets obey, even when they want to give up. TRUE prophets recognized God's authority, and love His Word. TRUE prophets cannot survive outside of His presence. Yet, TRUE prophets will literally die if God separates Himself from them. They are completely dependent upon the Father. TRUE prophets can't even think for themselves. They can't have personal opinions for long. They have CONSTANT AND CONSISTENT discussions with the Father, to the point that His personality becomes their own. Ahhh.... Have you spoken to a TRUE prophet lately? They don't have a Word just on Sunday morning. God is ALWAYS talking to them about something. They receive CONSTANT streams of revelation. They are always being built up, chastised and sharpened by the Father. They are always ON ASSIGNMENT. Are there any TRUE PROPHETS who thought you were strange? People said you are "too deep." No, you're a TRUE PROPHET of God!
1 Kin 19:9 There he came to a cave and lodged in it; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
Yes, even the prayer life of a prophet is different. You can't just utter words of prayer to the Father, say "Amen" and be done. NO, a prophet always hears back from God. TRUE PROPHETS don't necessarily have to "schedule" prayer time. Why? Because God is CONSTANTLY talking. Everything contains revelation. It cannot be turned off. That's the office!
1 Kin 19:10 He replied, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I, I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
This is what God is preparing us for. In many of our churches, the TRUE PROPHETS are getting angry. We KNOW the voice of the Father, and we know His heart, because we are always in His face. GET READY TO BE UNPOPULAR. Get ready to be hated. For some, you will be THE ONLY one in the congregation. If you KNOW you hear from God, stand your ground. Elijah knew He was the only TRUE PROPHET of God in the land, and he understood that his life was in danger. Yet, he refused to allow the idols to live. Hmm.... What have you killed lately? When will the TRUE PROPHETS stop talking and complaining? When will we just start attacking the enemy in the spirit realm? How much more are we willing to tolerate? How much more does God need to strip us before we are free enough to fight?
Yes, God told me that some of what I'm going through is just to toughen me up so that I won't hesitate to FIGHT. When you have nothing to lose... you're more likely to come out swinging! Be encouraged and get ready to GIVE YOUR ALL, true prophets of God!
This morning, the Lord brought the Scripture to me, and showed me the TRUE prophets of today going through the same thing Elijah experienced after challenging the Baal worshippers to call on their God. We all know the TRUE God answered by fire...

Stop Worshipping the "church" - REPENT and Become Part of the TRUE "Church"
God is speaking to the Body of Christ, the Church, about those who are being deceived in the church (the political and social, physical gathering of people claiming to be part of God's family. Too many of so-called Christians are worshipping the church, and not worshipping the Father. Too many are wasting their lives away in fellowship, but on their way to hell for lack of relationship with the Heavenly Father. Yes, even in this internet fellowship, in your own congregation, there are many who are playing the part, yet have never tapped into true salvation. They are serving the idol called "church," and are on their way to hell full of service and good works.
All of us must examine ourselves. We must get naked before the Father. Going to "church" has never saved a soul. Going to "church" has never made one a member of the Church (the Body of Christ). Those who are called and appointed in this hour must stop regarding everyone as a sister or brother that attends the same congregation. Where is their fruit? Where is YOUR fruit?
We must examine ourselves. Too many are shouting in church...preaching sermons... prophelying... praying... laying on hands. Yet there is NO PRIVATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER. How many of us "hear" God on Sundays and Wednesday nights, yet NEVER hear from Him in private time? Check yourself. You are worshipping an idol. You have even been called by a false God. Your congregation and denomination cannot ordain, appoint, quicken, activate anything that God has not first called forth and ordained.
Heed this warning. If you are walking in an office or a calling that was labelled and planted on you by your "church," yet you have never heard GOD appoint the thing, repent and drop it now. You have been set upon an altar of idolatry! You are in violation of the Father, and you are ministering in SIN. You are calling on Jesus, prophesying in His name, proclaiming His word, all for Him to say He does not know you! REPENT, and sit down until you get a Word from the Father.
This is why God is exposing those in the congregations we serve. Too many are being worshipped in His place, and we serve a jealous God. How dare we serve a man, just because he is an elder or a pastor, yet forsake Jehovah himself. We deny God in His own name! "Apostasy and Sin" is what we have presented to the Father, and we dare to call ourselves the Body of Christ. Again, where is the fruit?
Apostles, how many churches will you set up without order? Prophets, how dare you prophesy prosperity rather than judgment when the people are in sin? Evangelists, where are the converted souls? Teachers, why isn't the Word being taught as GOD said it? Pastors, why are your sheep acting like goats? INIQUITY!
When will the REAL SAINTS of God stand up? We must stop allowing imposters to run God's house? Yes, God is saying that the REAL SAINTS are enabling the perpetrators. We "Amen" their mess! We finance their idolatrous kingdoms. We have surrendered God's house to idols and idolators, and we are allowing them to shut our mouths. They tell us we are "out of order," but God's is asking "Who's order?" Let God be true and every man a liar!
God will restore the true saints of God. A separation is coming forth. The "elect" is being sanctified, separated for this hour. On which side will YOU stand? Are you a priest or an imposter? Think on these things...
Ezek 44:7 You have brought into My sanctuary aliens, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to pollute {and} profane it, even My house, when you offer My bread, the fat and the blood; and through it all {and} in addition to all your abominations, they {and} you have broken My covenant.
Ezek 44:8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have chosen foreign keepers to please yourselves and have set them in charge of My sanctuary.
Ezek 44:9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh shall enter into My sanctuary [where no one but the priests might enter], of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
Ezek 44:10 But the Levites who went far away from Me when Israel went astray, who went astray from Me after their idols, they shall bear [the punishment for] their iniquity {and} guilt.
Ezek 44:11 They shall minister in My sanctuary, having oversight as guards at the gates of the temple and ministering in the temple. They shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall attend the people to serve them.
Ezek 44:12 Because [the priests] ministered to [the people] before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity {and} guilt to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand {and} have sworn against them, says the Lord God, that they shall bear the punishment for their iniquity {and} guilt.
Ezek 44:13 And they shall not come near to Me to do the office of a priest to Me, nor come near to any of My holy things that are most sacred; but they shall bear their shame {and} their punishment for the abominations which they have committed.
All of us must examine ourselves. We must get naked before the Father. Going to "church" has never saved a soul. Going to "church" has never made one a member of the Church (the Body of Christ).
