As we were in worship today, the Lord began to speak to me concerning "rending our hearts not our garments," as I began to meditate on this. I than heard the Lord say "obedience is better than sacrifice”. repeatedly I kept hearing rend your hearts, rend your hearts, just than the words of the song that was being sung spoke out to me, the words were give us clean hands, give us pure hearts, let us not lift our souls to another. Even as these words rang out I heard the Lord say that He told us to cleanse our hands and to purify our hearts. 2 Cor; 7.1 speaks to this, also Joel 2:12-13. This word is consistent with what I keep hearing from the Lord, and that is that HE is calling for the Body, especially those of us in leadership. We as individuals know the areas in our lives where we are to turn, but we can no longer ignore it and hope things will be different. Things don't change until we change our attitude toward that which is not pleasing to the Father. When we deny sin in any area of our lives, we grieve the Holy Spirit. My prayer for all of us who are in leadership positions of any sort, is that we will openly renounce any area of sin and make a conscience decision to turn, so that we will see the power of God poured out mightily and revival will come to our services with signs following.

I felt the Lord showed me that there is somebody here this morning that you r life is about as perfect as you think it could be. You are absolutely content, you are absolutely at peace. Life is good praise God, and this is it. But what I believe He showed me was, God is here to tell you this morning, you have no idea what is coming. Now listen, because it is not a bad thing. This is a good word for some body. But what is going to happen, I believe I saw in my mind’s eye, maybe you have seen this – it is an old, old newsreel of a bridge either in an earthquake or a hurricane where the bridge is going all over the place. I know I have seen it on TV a million times. When God shakes you out of what ever it is you are in now and He begins you to move across that bridge, this is going to happen. Do not lose sight of the other end of the bridge. Stay on that, go to the other end of the bridge because He has an amazing thing, if you think your life is good now you have no idea.

When we sing that song, “Fill My Cup” I saw a cup with a cover over the top of it. And I believe what the Lord was saying was, He would desire nothing better then to fill our cup, but we have to empty it of the things that are not of Him. As much as we will empty He will fill.

I also heard while we were singing, a knocking, a knocking. I saw a door, I actually saw a door and I saw someone standing at the door. The scripture came, Behold, I stand at the door and knock, and if any may hears my voice and opens I will come in and sup with Him and Him with me. Maybe today there is one who the Lord is knocking on your heart. He’s been knocking, He’s been knocking, He’s been knocking, but it is time to open the door and let Him come in. And enjoy the fullness of life that He has to offer. So if you hear that knocking today, today is your day, you have the opportunity to come open the door and let the Lord come into your life and rule and reign in your heart.

The Lord is reminding me this morning about how narrow the road is going to become. He is going to start doing a shaking to every individual to bring corporate unity. Think it not strange when the shaking begins, press into God, press into God, press into God. He is only shaking those things that are good and bad from our lives. We are coming into a period for shaking that we will not be able to put our foot down to any idol. During this shaking make sure you do not point your finger at your sister or brother, do not point your finger at another church but cry out for mercy. Stand on the side of righteousness. Be on alert, the enemy wants to come in to separate and divide and cause division in the body of Christ. When it is getting “hot” we would rather look at someone else’s sin than our own. We all have sin that we don’t even know we have. So get ready, press in, He wants a pure bride.

My Kingdom has boundaries says the Lord. This is the day you choose which side you will stay on. There is no longer time to “stand on the fence”. There was a day when you could walk the wall, that day is coming very soon to a finish. Which side will you choose? There is death and destruction on one side. You can take those steps or you can make the jump into the kingdom of Light.

……Look hard at those things that need to be taken from you. You know me as a loving, caring, and merciful God. But I am also a God that loves you enough to come and take those things and rip them from you because you are mine. You are no others. Are you willing? Are you willing?

I saw the Lord holding the sands of the whole earth and the mountains that had been shaken and it is running through His hands fast. Think of an hour glass where the sand runs through and it seems to go real fast. It is going faster. We also have to be shaken because we to must go through the hour glass and we have to be small enough to get fit through the narrowing and we need to get through it fast.

The Lord clearly showed me a person someone who has been a diligent and faithful person in a job situation. I also saw that at this place there is one who is unreliable, not committed, but as someone would call a slacker who has returned and put in a position of honor. This word is not for the one who has been a slacker, but this word is for the one who has been faithful. The Lord sees how you have been consistently faithful and diligent in this position. I saw situations that have been unfair yet you have graciously done this work as unto the Lord. I saw how you served “Him”. I saw a situation where you have been assigned or will be assigned duties that will be even harder or almost impossible and even oppressive. There are boundaries that are healthy for the sake of self respect. I believe this word is about being relieved or released from this and with this will not come a spirit of fear but the spirit of joy because what the Lord has done for you in the next season. Lastly, but certainly not the least, I encourage you to seek the Lord if this word is for you, and His timing.

During worship I kept seeing pieces of armor on the people in this body, and they have been hit hard, and they have been wounded in battle. God is really in His heart wanting to fill in the voids that are left in the people that have taken those hits. And if you are one of those people I believe that if you make a move some how with the Lord right now He will absolutely fill in your armor that has been hit, with the enemy’s arrow. And the scripture, the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, is the desire of Him to fill you in like that.

I came here today with a heavy heart and some hardness and the Holy Spirit just came over me, and He is saying to each one of us, that if you have a hard heart He wants to soften that. He wants to speak through the fog; He wants to open your eyes that He really does love you. There is a measure of His grace that will cover all of what you are going through today if you come to Him. He is nothing of what you are even thinking, He wants to pull back the blinders and open your eyes to really see His love, maybe for the first time. May He just penetrate our hearts today.

When the 2nd and final shofar blast blew I had a sense that the Lord was saying its time to gear up (suit up). God wanted us to get ready.

When ever we sing that song about God’s love is extravagant, the very first time I heard it the Lord laid this on my heart and I am reminded of it every time we sing it, and that is if the Lord of love lives within our hearts, and His love is extravagant, then we can be extravagant in our love to others. We all know the verse about what is love, it is patience, it is long suffering, it’s gentle, it’s kind, and we can be extravagant in our patience, in our long suffering, in our mercy, in our grace to other people, beginning with our family, beginning with our church family and out into the world.
