God Is Calling for the SCOUTS

Last night during prayer, the Father spoke a Word of encouragement to me for His people, particularly those who have been frustrated as watchmen in the Body of Christ. God said He is calling forth the scouts, as He did in the day of Moses.

He said there are many who are becoming frustrated by sitting on the wall, and He is calling some to become mobile. The Church, as a Body, is going to experience a new level of momentum in the Spirit. God said that all He has promised will come to pass, but He is calling forth the scouts to move first into the new season, that they will be prepared to lead and direct those to follow.

God spoke so clearly and said those who are called out must be encouraged. Sometimes, the scout feels lonely, because everyone cannot follow into the new land. Some have been challenged by the Church – the ministries and the gifts, as our Apostle pointed out during prayer, are literally being challenged and doubted by some. God said this is not the time to be phased by those who doubt. He is going to move in such a way that His people will be reassured. God said He is going to show Himself strong to those individuals who have begun to doubt themselves. He is opening up the heavens to those who are being attacked – not to prove to others, but to prove to the very ones who are being challenged that indeed, they do hear from the Almighty God.

Scouts, suit up! Prepare yourselves. Dwell in the secret place of the Father, and do not be afraid to move. Do not be afraid to step into new territory. Hear and obey the voice of God. In due season, you will be instructed to declare what you have observed, but for now, prepare for a season of spiritual awakening as you’ve never experienced before. Be prepared to preview what God is preparing for the Church.

It is very easy for scouts to get discouraged. Scouts are called to sneak into the enemy’s camp. They are called to enter new places and seasons before the crowd. They are trained as mobile watchmen. SCOUTS, this is the season to gird up in boldness. Launch out and tell the people what you see!

Num 13:1 AND THE Lord said to Moses,
Num 13:2 Send men to explore {and} scout out [for yourselves] the land of Canaan, which I give to the Israelites. From each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader {or} head among them.
Num 13:3 So Moses by the command of the Lord sent scouts from the Wilderness of Paran, all of them men who were heads of the Israelites.

Num 13:27 They told Moses, We came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey. This is its fruit.
Num 13:28 But the people who dwell there are strong, and the cities are fortified {and} very large; moreover, there we saw the sons of Anak [of great stature and courage].
Num 13:29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South (the Negeb); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along by the side of the Jordan [River].
Num 13:30 Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; we are well able to conquer it.

Num 14:7 And they said to all the company of Israelites, The land through which we passed as scouts is an exceedingly good land.
Num 14:8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Num 14:9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, neither fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense {and} the shadow [of protection] is removed from over them, but the Lord is with us. Fear them not.

God Is Going to Open the Heavens

Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized, and [while He was still] praying, the [visible] heaven was opened
Luke 3:22 And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, {saying,} You are My Son, My Beloved! In You I am well pleased {and} find delight!
Luke 4:1 THEN JESUS, full of {and} controlled by the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led in [by] the [Holy] Spirit.


The Father is speaking to the Church. He is saying that death is coming to the land. The death is one of the flesh and worldly, human thinking. Many are straddling the fence between the Spirit and the flesh – a decision must be made. The Father desires to open heaven for His people. The waters have been troubled, and the Lord is waiting to literally touch His children. In this season, those who are obedient and those who seek Him will experience a quick elevation in the Spirit. This is a clarion call to those with a true desire to KNOW GOD personally.

There have been times, though few, when I entered prayer and was literally separated from the flesh. The Lord showed me things and spoke so clearly. Time was lost, and even those who were in the room with me knew that God’s presence was there. NO FLESH was able to operate. Truly, a peace that surpasses all understanding took over. When one is in God’s presence, and completely yielded to him, even physical changes can be seen. My appearance was changed, and my speech was transformed. I desire more of those times of intimacy with the Father, and He has promised even greater to those to SEEK HIM. The word of the Lord is that the waters are troubled. Some need only to enter in. Seek the Father like never before. Forget about ministry as we know it. Forget about bills. Forget about all the problems and concerns. Forget about the appointments and worldly obligations. Forget about your health, and just seek God. Set aside time NOW to completely sacrifice and engulf yourself in intimacy with our God. Seek first the Kingdom – the others things will be added.

I see the Father opening the heavens. I see His saints in prayer, looking up and seeing glimpses of Him. I hear His voice speaking loud and clear. I see people literally being transformed by the weight of the Holy Spirit. He has shown me the visions, and I know it shall come to pass – to those who have desire.

My instruction today was to share this message. Our job in this season is to soak in Him. The Church is in a world of trouble, but it can only be changed as God’s people are changed. Individual parts must be healed before the entire Body can function correctly.

Be encouraged, and bask in His presence!

Where is MY worship? Where is MY praise?

Where is My praise? Where is the worship and honor due to Me? My people have lost focus. Ministry has been abandoned for vain glory and personal exaltation. How dare My people esteem themselves to be equal with the Lord, Your God!

Lam 2:6 And He has violently broken down His temple like a booth {or} hedge of a garden; He has destroyed the place of His appointed assembly. The Lord has caused the solemn appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion and has spurned {and} rejected in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.

Lam 2:7 The Lord has scorned, rejected, {and} cast off His altar; He has abhorred {and} disowned His sanctuary. He has given into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces [and high buildings]; they have raised a clamor in the house of the Lord as on a day of a solemn appointed feast.

This morning, the Lord spoke to me so strongly that I was literally frightened. God said He is rejected the activity of His house – the things we call church and congregation. The Father said that He is a jealous God. He is asking, “Where is my worship? Where is my praise?” The Father is rejecting our concept of ministry.

The church has too many distractions that we are attempting to define as the will of God. Yes, correction is of the Father, but too many have a ministry of correction without genuine worship. Yes, preaching the Word is in the Father’s plan. However, too many spend hours traveling and preaching, but don’t sacrifice to lay out before God. Attending church and assembling with the saints is ordained and commanded in the Scriptures, yet too many are spending hours in services, but no quiet time in God’s presence.

The Lord gave me a word about two weeks ago, and I will repost it in obedience. MINISTRY CANNOT BE DONE IN OUR OWN STRENGTH. So many of us think we know how to operate in ministry, but we know only in part. We know how to facilitate a service, and we understand how to pat others on the back and make them feel better. Yet, not many understand how to usher in the presence of God. When was the last time you loved on God without interruption? So many believe they are seeking Him, yet there is no change. We must remember, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DWELL IN GOD’S PRESENCE AND COME OUT WITHOUT A CHANGE! Where are the miracles? Why aren’t the blind seeing? Why haven’t the dead been raised? God says we lack power, because we lack HIS faith. These things come only by fasting and prayer.

God is going to change the MOTIVES in many of His people. Those who refuse to change will be rejected. God is rejecting our offerings. Ministry and worship must go hand in hand. The flesh must be crucified and our motives purified. The Father is calling for intimacy with Him. Ministry can no longer be done in the flesh. The Spirit of God will move and instruct every command. In this season, we must seek God. Move only when He says to move. Speak only when He says to speak.

“Obedience”, says the Lord, “is required for pure worship.”

Called to the Ministry of DIVISION

UNITY – This word has been used in so many arenas. It seems that everyone is preaching about unity in the Church. However, many have it misconstrued and misunderstood. According to the Word of God, the Ascension gifts and offices are set in place to bring unity in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4). The reason unity is not being obtained in today’s churches is because we are still trying to unify people by the world’s standards. We are trying to unify apples and oranges. We want to bring together the holy with the unholy. Just because people attend church, we want to call them brothers and sisters in Christ. Not so. Where is the discernment? Where is the honesty and the soberness of mind? We know better.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? What fellowship does light have with darkness? People of God, it’s time to get back to the Word. Just like everyone else, I’m tired of the quarreling and the lack of one-mindedness in the ministry. Yet, in my prayer time, God reminded me that His word is true. “My prophets,” He said, “are not called to bring unity, but division.” Yes, my Daddy explained that unity cannot take place until holiness is first separated from that which is unholy.

How do we know true ministry is still not taking place? We know because we’re too concerned with people “getting along.” We’re too concerned about worldly possessions. Yet, our zeal for truth, AT ANY COST, is lacking.

Luke 12:51 Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
Luke 12:52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided [among themselves], three against two and two against three.
Luke 12:53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

In His ministry, Jesus never claimed to preach peace. He did not have a message asking everyone to “get along” and “work together.” Instead, he turned homes upside down. He divided churches and turned best friends against one another. Why? Because natural unity is not a priority. Unity is the spirit is needed, but only when unified in the RIGHT Spirit.
Truly, this is a time when some people should just be getting mad. We are in a season when obedience to the Father will destroy alliances. The flesh is about to get upset – if God’s people speak what thus says the Lord. It’s time for the martyrs to come forth. You may get some threatening phone calls. You may be blamed for some divorces. You may become a scapegoat for runaway children and separated best friends. Will you stand the ground even in this level of adversity?
