Purification in the Waiting

Prophetic Word

Monday of this week I received a call from one of our Ministers in Yuma AZ.

The message was delivered with a massive sense of urgency. Something that had kept him up all night until day break at which point he called to speak with me regarding the vision received. As he recounted the vision he asked I share it with the church as it was for the church.

This is the translation in part :

Beginning April 1st the church must enter into a process of purification and remain in this posture for the duration of the month.

I am going to pour out fresh revelation for the body

I am going to bring forth new songs of deliverance from you.

What I am about to reveal is huge and will prepare you for the changes to come. You must be ready

I am coming to care for and deal with my nation

Who it is for

1. For the ones the Lord wants to use He is now asking them to clean the body inside/out

2. The ones who will stand fearless for Him

Distractions at this time must be laid down

Promise

There is healing in this process… the body has been in a process of pruning in which the Lord has removed people, and things that had only served as distractions. In this coming time you will finally see satisfaction as you are preparing to receive.

Something that Carlos expressed in the account of the visions he was having there was a fear and awe without inducing fear there is a shaking coming to pulpits across our nation, and what appeared to be natural chaos that would provoke fear in some. When he looked again there were those who stood as the beacons of hope that were unwavering whose supplies never ran dry and remained a place for God’s people to be restored.

Spending time in prayer over this…

Not intended to alarm but to prepare for what is to come

The Lord is readying to restore His house

Finishing the work on Malachi where we are told the Lord remembers His people and;

There is a work ahead for us; brief look at what has brought us to the this Point

A Brief Look At Our Current Situation

Isaiah 56:10–12 ESV

His watchmen are blind; they are all without knowledge; they are all silent dogs; they cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all. “Come,” they say, “let me get wine; let us fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be like this day, great beyond measure.”

Watchmen are Blind; This draw on the prophets who were supposed to be guarding the body not tearing it down

contrary to the day of pentecost they have no visions, no prophetic word.

They are content in making saying the church is too broken… I just dont feel like God wants this anymore.

They are content in slumbering or staying away while there is much work to be done and excuse their inaction by stating that serving in the house of the Lord is a religious spirit

This word calls them not watchmen but dogs

Insatiable appetite… they are hungry yet have no food, thirsty but have no water

Known as shepherds with no understanding

they abandon the flock in search of revelation that seems to evade them

when the Lord is calling them they dont understand so they run

things that satisfy them

fit their personal desire… ( Whats in it for me? Serving God should not cost you anything, right?)

Let us get wine…

They go from place to place seeking the next high… the next experience

Gift of Gab to tell you how great its going to be when they never lift a finger for the body… insist on it being done their way… they miss out on a full on authentic encounter and are content with “Well I was drunk in the spirit did you see me falling about”

Yet they dont hold to purity they mix the things of this world with the ways of the Lord and are ok seeing the body destroyed.

The Heritage of the Servants of the Lord

Isaiah 54:11–15 ESV

“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.

For far too long the people of God have been forgotten beaten by the storm

When they went and sought refuge they were met by oppression

The time is coming and is now when the ones who oppressed you, who stirred up strife will fall

Isaiah 54:17 ESV

no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

Now we can see this promise come to pass.

Instruction to the Wanderer

Isaiah 55:1–2 ESV

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

There are those who have been wandering for far too long… its time to come home

The body of Christ needs to be a place of refreshing, a place where your hunger will be satisfied.

Take in the rich food which will fill your soul

True Fast for Purity

The Lord calls His people into a true fast

In this fast the people are called away from the broken service that has occurred

He is tired of the games

Is 58 vv. 5;7 Tells us that the fast which the Lord is seeking is;

be humble; posture of surrender

Give your bread; the word of God you carry

This is how we are to be washed Eph 5:26 the word of God washes

Give the homeless a home; church this place

Cover the naked; the one who doesnt even have know and is dead in their trespasses

Not hide from your flesh; take your sin to the Lord

Isaiah 58:12 ESV

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.

Regardless what is to come this is the work ahead for us.

Repairers of the breaches

restorers of the streets

We will begin a churchwide fast starting April 1. this will last for 30 days. We will contend for purity and to be made ready for what the Lord is going to bring at the end of this time.

Isaiah 58:6 ESV

“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

I cannot force you to, but as a congregation it we choose to heed the instruction of the Lord to prepare for what the Lord has for us.
