You have entered into a new day. A new day of increased apostolic impartation, and divine release into your destiny. What the enemy has meant for harm towards you, the Lord is now turning around, to work for your good.

He has turned the tables on the enemy, once again. And because you have determined in your heart, not to allow the distractions of the enemy to hinder your walk with the Lord, and have set your face like flint to continue moving forward in obedience to His will, plans and purposes, even against all odds.

Now, you will begin to experience His increased favor and blessings, which He is now releasing upon your life and ministry, in a greater way than what you have ever known before. Double favor and blessing are yours today, by receiving His Word to you in faith.

You went through the fire and did not get burned, because He was with you in the fire, to keep you alive, and to bring you through. And not one hair of your head was singed, nor the smell of smoke found upon your garments now, or then. The things that were burned away and loosed through the fire, were the ties, bonds, and restraints that bound your hands and feet, as you were thrown in, during those fiery trials, in that purifying season.

So now rejoice, for this is a new day of favor, fulfilled promises, and blessings that are now coming your way from every direction. Those who have scorned you and have spoken evil of you, when you were only seeking to please the Lord, have now lost their ability to interfere any longer. Since the fear of the Lord has been on the increase, where are they now? Nowhere to be found.

And those whom the Lord is now raising up to stand by our sides, are those who have clean hands, pure hearts, and right motives in serving Him. These are those who will love Him, not just with lip-service, but with their words, deeds, and actions.

The Lord has separated you from the past, and has moved you into a new dimension of His spirit, where you will be able to accomplish His will with greater faith, clarity, and vision. So, rejoice in Him today, for it is the Fathers great pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

May 29, 2006:

Continue to seek My face, keeping your eyes focused on Me, and fully trust Me as your ever-present, all-knowing and all-seeing heavenly Father.

Do not give up under the pressures of life, but continue to do what I’ve called you to do, as everything around you is about to change. You will change, other hearts will change, adjustments will be made, and sudden victory is on it’s way.

Those that are called to stand with you, will, and those who are not will be moved on. But know, that I am the one who has initiated every step to your destiny and will also bring it to complete fulfillment.

So, rejoice in Me today, that you will find contentment in your heart, so that your joy may be full.

Here is a word of encouragement being sent to you today, to minister to your lives and to help you in your walks with Him.

This may be especially for one, or for a hundred out there. You will know when it is for you.

Surely, the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear; - Isaiah 59:1
- NIV (Also, read the entire chapter for further insight).

There was a time in my own life when i had a supernatural encounter of the strong arm of the Lord where, He reached down out of a portal in the heavenly realm, and pulled my spirit man right up out of my body into the shekinah glory of His presence.

When this experience took place, i knew then, that God was and is in charge of all of the affairs and events of my life, just as He is in the lives of all of His people.

His glory was so bright that i could not look directly into it. I could only stand because of the ability that the Lord gave to me to do so.

At that time, i became aware of someone standing next to me on my side. So, i turned to look and it was Jesus standing there watching me.

He gave to me that same look of fiery love and compassion that He had given once before at the age of twelve. He took hold of my hand at that time and smiled at me.

One thing i knew right then, was that i was completely delivered from my troubles and depression that i had been going through because i was totally bathed and saturated with His holy presence and love.

During this encounter, the Lord took me into the midst of angelic heavenly music that was taking place in His presence. It was music unlike anything that i had ever heard on earth, and was sung in a heavenly language.

It was like the angels were singing with one voice, although i knew that there must have been millions of them.

The harmony was so pure and perfect that you would not be able to distinguish how many of them were singing through human understanding. You just knew through the knowledge and understanding of the Spirit of God that they were.

As i listened to this angelic music, wave after wave of God's power and love surged through my entire being. When this encounter ended, the next thing that i knew was, i found myself back on my bed at home, yet the angelic music and waves of the power surges did not stop until several days after the visitation. And Praise God, i was totally freed from anxiety and depression and it would'nt come back as a bondage either.

So, the key to your breakthrough and deliverance is to spend time seeking the Lord, loving Him and by spending more quality time in His presence. He wants all of His people to come up higher in Him.

For the Lord is high and lifted up and is seated in heavenly places. He desires to lift His people up into the heavenly realms with Him. He is within you, yet He wants to bring you up higher in Him.

As i had shared with you in a previous word from the past which is still timely and relevent in the present:

"Up into those places where you will soar as on the wings of eagles. Places where you will keep the enemy under your feet. Places where you are seated with the Lord in heavenly places through Christ Jesus. Where you will learn of Him and receive His instructions.

His glory is ready to shine upon His people as He comes forth in this great move of His power to pour out of His Spirit upon the nations.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. vs.2, See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.

vs. 3, Nations will come to your light and Kings to the brightness of your dawn. vs. 4, Lift up your eyes and look about you; All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.

vs. 5, Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. - Isaiah 60: 1-5 (NIV)

So now is the time to arise and to move in alignment with His Spirit as His glory is being released upon His people around the world. You can see and understand better what the Lord is doing when you are spending quality time in His presence.

He doesn't want you to know of Him through head knowledge or a shallow relationship, but to know Him personally, and to experience Him intimately. He must have the first priority in our lives. Then everything else will flow out of that relationship with Him and not the other way around.(We cannot place the cart before the horse in our lives) He is still waiting!

Below is yet another part of what the Lord has been speaking today. Receive it where it may apply:

This is what the Lord says: Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool: "Where is the house you will build for Me? Where will My resting place be? vs. 2, Has not My hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the Lord.

This is the one i esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My Word. - Isaiah 66:1-2 (NIV)

(In the Amplified Bible, verse 2 reads this way) He who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My Word and reveres My commands.

David said: Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. vs.24, You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Psalms 73:23-24 NIV

Focus on Him. Know and recognize His divine presence in and upon your lives today. He is your deliverer, even in the midst of the toughest troubles and trial that you have found yourselves in.

He will deliver you out of all of your troubles because you love, cooperate and place your steadfast trust in Him.

He will guide you with His counsel and will keep you with His keeping power.

His hand is stretched out to you today, to sustain you and to provide for all of your needs. Nothing is impossible with Him. Reach out and receive the divine release of His supernatural power and strength into your lives today. He is touching you now!

"He will fulfill the promises and vision that He has birthed in you and will impart to you the ability, strength and the resources to fulfill it. All in His perfect timing.

He has not forgotten you. What He has done for others, He will also do for you as you continue to love and obey Him."

David said: He brought me into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me. vs. 20, The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

vs. 21, For i have kept the ways of the Lord;. I have not done evil by turning from my God.
- Psalms 18:19-21 (NIV)

My Prayer for you: Dear Father: I thankyou and praise your wonderful name that you are in complete control of our circumstances and the entirety of our lives.

I know and believe that nothing is impossible with you and everything is under your divine control and care. You are the creator of the universe and the Lord of everything that concerns your people.

Today, we commit our lives afresh, into your very capable hands. Let the mighty touch of your hand be so evident in the lives of everyone who reads and follows along with this message and prayer today.

In the mighty name of your Son, our Lord Jesus.
So be it. Amen. His love extends to all of you, L.D.

When you are persecuted for righteous sake,

Remember what they did to me.

When spoken evil of for your faith,

Remember what they did to me.

When they slap you or spit upon your face,

Remember what they did to me.

And when you suffer I will give you grace,

Then, remember what I did for you.

Bless them, forgive them, pray for them, and release them!

Remember: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Matt. 5:11-12 - Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

vs. 12, Rejoice and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matt. 5:43-44 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.

vs 44, But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Read on)

2 Cor. 5:8-12- We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

vs 9, Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

vs. 10, Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

vs.11, For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be manifest in our mortal flesh.

vs12, So then death worketh in us, but life in you.(read on)

Isaiah 40:3-5 - A voice of one calling in the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.

vs. 4, Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.

vs 5, And the Glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. -NIV

The Lord is calling for willing vessels, and He is now raising up vessels with the same Elijah-type anointing of the Holy Spirit, and in the similar manner that John the Baptist came.

In simplicity, clothed in humility and willing to decrease so that the Lord would become prominent on the scene and that the people would look to Him.

John the Baptist was also a man of great sacrifice and so are these. These are those whom the Lord is raising up, coming forth as voices crying out in the spiritual wilderness of our present day world.

They are fore-runners; His fore-runners, preparing the way. These are willing and obedient vessels who will prepare the way of the Lord and to prepare the world for the coming of the Lord which is soon to be upon us.

Self-preservation mentality will decrease and He (the Lord) will increase in the lives of His people, and the glory of the Lord will be seen upon His people in a manner unlike anything that we have ever seen before in our life-time.

All across the earth right now, the move of God's Spirit is taking place, gaining momentum, and will continue to accelerate, even as everything that can be shaken will be shaken down.

Only that which is of Him shall remain in the lives of His people who truly know Him.

It is imperative that the people of God cooperate with the Lord and begin to seek Him with their whole hearts. Fall in Love with Him, spending quality time in His presence and studying His Word until every part of your lives are transformed.

Listen to His voice, while applying His Word to your lives, which will bring you into right alignment with Him. Open up your ears and have ears to hear and eyes that can see! Deaf spirits, come out in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Deaf ears open up today, both spiritually and naturally!

Blind eyes open up today and see, let the scales come off now, both spiritually and in the natural; Arise, hearing and seeing with clarity! ... in the name of Jesus Christ!!

Dead and spiritually dead! Rise up today, in the name of Jesus Christ as a living testimony and witness to the nations!! You are destined to be the salt of the earth and a light unto the nations.

Prayer: And Lord God, i ask now that you release your healing, deliverance and restoration now upon the Body of Christ and to the nations.

Break forth upon your church and the nations, oh Spirit of the living God! May your name be glorified again and again, and forever!

The Lord is about to cause the Body of Christ to begin to abound in His genuine Love, and He is going to display his majesty in and through His Body.

He has been raising up Houses of Prayer across the nations to transform regions and to usher in transformation and change in the lives of His people.

The fire of God is being released for the purification of His Body. All wood, hay and stubble shall be burned up by His fire.

He is taking a once weak, anemic, sleeping, church and is beginning to transform it through World-wide 24/7 Intercession, fasting, prayer and worship.

The sleeping giant is awakening and will arise and move forward as He has planned. He is raising up a new generation who are discovering His beauty, His pleasure and holiness unto the Lord.

The fore-runners are those who are willing to lay down everything for His service. (Laid down lovers of God) There is no cost of serving Him that they will not pay, even with their very lives.

And the Spirit of God will come upon the nations with a spontaneous combustion of the power of His Spirit as the acceleration of this move of God increases.

The nations will witness that God is real, the one and only true living God, when they see His Love and Glory in and upon his people. And in the hour of that glorious witness, everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Then, the Bride of Christ will be ready, the harvest will be fulfilled and the Lord shall return for his own.

A number of you are called and chosen to be forerunners of His Kingdom. You know who you are!

Therefore arise, people of God! Get yourself prepared and ready! Activate! Then, mobilize as the Spirit of God opens the way and directs, in moving you forward as a part of His end-time army.

This is the season for many of you to come forth!

Two days ago, early in the morning, I had a vision concerning an open field, forest and a Tabernacle that i sensed the release to share with all of you today. I have already received an interpretation of this, yet there is still more that is being unfolded athough i will write and share with you what i have thus far.

In this vision, I was in a field where there were many people scattered all over this field and i was sitting next to someone that i knew to be a football coach. We were talking about a plan and i knew that this was a football coach due to the way that He was dressed in this vision.

Then we both stood up and moved the chairs from the field where we were sitting and when i looked again, i realized that this coach was the Lord Himself in this vision and that i had received my directions from Him.

Then I began to move forward onto this field with Him, i saw many of the different people coming together, to join together as teams and as i watched them, the different groups of people came close together in what appeared to be huddling as football teams would do to discuss the game plan. No longer were the people scattered but were close together and unified although they were uniquely different.

On the edge of this field in front of me was a very lush, beautiful green forest and i began to walk towards this forest and noticed that there were many people also doing the same. As i entered the forest, i noticed that there were different people on various paths that were leading around to the same direction that i was going in.

Then i heard a voice say, there's an awesome Tabernacle that is back in the Forest but i would have to "GO NORTH" to find it. So then i veered a little in the right direction from where i was going and was heading North towards this Tabernacle that was in the forest.

As i approached the Tabernacle, i could hear and see that there were many different people that were finding it and i began to see it through the trees and bushes. Then i had arrived there and saw this Tabernacle and the vision ended.

The open field was the place where the Body of Christ was located in the beginning of the vision and i was there with the Lord in a waiting and sitting position with Him.

Then when the chairs were being moved back indicated that the time of waiting was over and that i had received instructions from the Lord and knew that i had received my orders from Him.

Next, i was in a standing position with Him. And i was finally beginning to move forward and that is when the people came together into teams. I watch as the teams were huddling together which indicated to me that they were now getting the game plan and were getting unified together very closely.

There were many of these teams and each team were uniquely different. This indicated to me that the Lord was calling many different types of people together and was bringing them together in teams, although all of the teams were a part of each other. They were not in competition but were just there dicussing the game plan in huddles.

The lush green forest was a place of abundance and life and i noticed that many of the people were also moving into this forest at the same time. Many of them where on different paths that were leading in the same direction.

This indicated to me that God has called many from different walks of life to move in the same direction in this endtime mandate for the Body of Christ.

When i heard the voice say, there is a awesome Tabernacle back in the forest but you will have to "Go North" to find it. This showed me that i was already heading in the right direction but there was a slight adjustment to be made and that it had been made.

The Tabernacle is the habitation of God and may also be a regional area where God is mightily visiting His people. A place where God is Tabernacling among His people. Such as a location where there is a mighty move of His Spirit.

The North may be the direction of throne of God as through research and teaching that has been given concerning the North could very well be the direction of the location of heaven (The Throne of God) in the universe.

So there are different meanings in what could be meant to "Go North", although i believe that the interpretation could very well mean both. It may mean in the direction of the Throne of God in heaven and also a region where a mighty move of God is or will be taking place. I believe that it is both regional and also the location of the throne in heaven. Both!!!

Then there was another aspect of "North" that the Lord brought to my attention. In ancient times the invaders of Israel such as Assyria and Babylon, often came from the North. So this indicated to me here that North also means from the direction that the enemys of Israel came from, thus we must head in the direction of the face of the enemy.

If the enemy is in your face, then you are heading in the right direction. This is another way that you can tell when you are in the will of God. When you are coming under attack in the face of the enemy. We must not face the opposite direction, but must face the enemy head on and to overcome. So face the North, or Go North.

What i also saw in this vision was the mandate that God has given to me concerning the Networking of Ministries. Bringing Gods people together and them coming together in teamwork.

And through this, they will also enter into that place of Abundance and life where they too will walk on the path to find that hidden place in the forest where God is Tabernacling among His people. God will place the people where He wants them in His endtime mandate, but they will need to come together to get the game plan is what i am seeing in this.

Also, in this vision i did not see any lone-rangers out there trying to just stay alone and doing their own thing, but they were uniting together and getting the plan from the Lord and working together.

So this concerns me a bit as i see that there are still some different ones who are claiming that they are so spiritual and yet they don't realize that the plan is going to come to pass through the unified Body of Christ.

God is the coach and we are His Body. And what He has planned for the endtime is for the Body to come together instead of just wanting to stay alone without accountablity. This is something to ponder and for everyone to begin to pray and to seek the face of God about.

Because loners are not going to get the game plan by themselves but when they come together with the Body of Christ wherever He desires to place them. If He is bringing you together with this network, then by all means, join in and make yourselves useful for the Body of Christ.

If you are called to be somewhere else , then you are strongly advised to join together with the ones that the Lord wants to join you with.

But i can assure you of this one thing. That walking alone and thinking of oneself as more spiritual than others will only lead down a misguided path to no-where.

There is a urgency at this time, to encourage each one to press in and to walk closer to the Lord than ever before, and if you are not hearing what He is saying to His Body, then you should also start listening more intently. Now is also the time to become more useful for His Kingdom and to recognize the importance of uniting together with the Body of Christ.

Because the Lord not only speaks to us in our personal lives, but also speaks through His Body and it is now time to awake from sleep and to be obedient to what the Lord is saying and doing in the Body of Christ. To ignore His Body is to Ignore Him. As the Lord continues to unfold more of this, i will post a "part two" of this vision as He may direct.

This is a call to unite and to walk with the Lord in such a way that you will not miss out on what He is desiring to do in this endtime mandate.

Those that are called to network with us, should also be doing much more than just posting prophecies or articles, but should be building relationships with us and the other networking ministries, and should also be making contact with us regularly.

There is time to seek the face of the Lord and to also work on building those relationships. There is also still time to get yourselves positioned for the end-time move of God, but there is not much time left to waste.

Those that are truly committed to what the Lord is doing with the networking of ministries here should be showing those committments in words, deeds and actions. Those that are not committed should go where the Lord wants them to get committed.

What the Lord is doing here is not for those who desire to remain alone or to draw people after themselves. Because this work is all about him and is also about the Body of Christ coming together.

Everyone is loved and welcome to join with us here, but there are choices that are needing to be made because this is the Lord's Kingdom business and He is really serious about this.

If any of you need more information or would like to come into relationship with us and with the other networking ministries, then go to: Joshua-ap.net/ and read the various pages on our home-site.

If you would like to find out more about us, read the page "About Us".

If you would like more networking information, then go to the "Joshua Networking Info" Pg there located on the left site menu and read up on Networking.

If you are serious about becoming a part of what the Lord is doing with the Networking of Ministries here, then go to the "Joshua News" pg. on the Home-site and read about how you may help as as a Networking Ministry or Individual.

God has a plan and you are part of it. And what He has in store for your future will make up for all of the pain and suffering that you have gone through over the years. God is on the move and there is a great army that has arisen.

And the Lord is bringing that army together in unison. I am not talking about another church Association either. But i am talking about His great army that he is bringing together from every tribe, tongue and nation.

We see this happening, even on the internet. Many pure ministries are joining and linking together forming one massive network. The most powerful and pure ministries that i have seen are coming from many unknown, hidden Prophets, Apostles and Teachers.

Those that have aquired fame and have merchandised the anointing are going to receive strong correction from the Lord in the coming days or will not progress any further. You are going to see much of this in 2004-2005 and beyond.

And you are going to see many in Gods army who are now unknown, coming to the frontlines. You are going to be surprised because some of these are coming forth right out of the market place.

Others, right out of the prisons. Many of them that have been held back in the churches for years are coming forth. God is breaking that spirit of control right off of them.

Many of those that are coming forth are not even in churches at this time.

They have been in a time of transition in their own homes, worshipping God and fellowshipping with friends or family members. Others have been more isolated. But the Lord is with them.

They are coming forth because they are intimate with the Father. And they are not looking for recognition from men. They only want to serve their God and bring Glory to HIm. Many others will fall by the wayside who have tried to sell His anointing and bestow honor upon themselves.

Walking in humility before God is a key issue for Gods people at this time.

This can only come from those who have been broken and tried in the fires of affiction. Those who have come into an intimate relationship with the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who are content to sit at His feet will be the servants of His choice.

So let this be a Word of encouragement for many of you today. If what you have heard, sounds like you, then rejoice. For a new day has dawned for you and the Lord is getting ready to move you forth into the vision and the promises of those things that you have been waiting to see happen for years.

He is bringing forth all of the provision to go forth so that you will be a giver, and not just a taker. So that you may help many others in need as you go forth with the pure Word of God. Those that are going forth are those who have been proven by the Lord Himself. Those that He can trust.

Those that will speak only what they hear the Father say. Those that will do only what the Father says to do. Those that will find their greatest pleasure spending time with him and sitting at His feet.

When He says go, you will go. When He says sit you will sit. When He says rest, you will rest. It is the Fathers great pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

We are living in the generation that will make history with the move of God's Spirit that is beginning to take place.

What you are going to see in the days just ahead, is what the Body of Christ has longed to experience and to be a part of. This move is going to be unlike anything that you have seen before.

The Lord is going to move in such a way, that all will know that He is God. No man will be able to take the Glory for the great things that He has done. Signs, wonders and great miracles will be a daily common occurance as the pure Word of God will be proclaimed throughout the nations.

There will be so much supernatural activity of God taking place, that buildings will not be able to contain it. It will flood into the streets, public arenas and stadiums where it will be commonly reported by news teams (Television and Newspapers).

We are going to hear of many who have been raised from the dead, creative miracles and masses of people will be swept into the Kingdom of God regularly.

Many of Gods servants will be unknown in the religious realm and will move strategically as the Lord directs. Ministry teams will be sent forth into the nations who will not credit the move of God to themselves.

They will not proclaim their own ministries success, but will work together with the Body of Christ and will exalt only the Lord. These are the ones that are marked by the Spirit of the Most High God. These are His Bond-servants.

This great Army of believers will move forth throughout the earth and will take nations for the Kingdom of God.

Major Religions will begin to crumble and fall as millions will see that our God is the one and only true living God. New nations will be born in a day.

The hearts of believers are going to become one with Israel, as the Lord himself is lifting the veil that that has been over the Jewish people in an unprecedented way.

Christian believers will come into the full revelation of their identity with Israel. The two sticks of Ezekiel 37 will be joined together as one. One people, with One Lord and King. ~L.D. Oxford

In the days just ahead, the Lord is ready to unfold the plan and the purpose which he has been preparing you for over the years. This phase of preparation that you have been going through is getting ready to come to a close.

(I sense the need to emphasize that we are being prepared for His kingdom work throughout our lives, but this phase that is coming to a close will lead to a higher form of continued training on a new level.)

Once this present phase comes to a close, you are moving up into a higher level of His spirit where you will be sent forth into the harvest and will perform His Works on a greater scale.

And i hear Him saying, Come up higher with Me. Come up higher with Me, My beloved. For I, the Lord am high and lifted up and I am seated in heavenly places. I am lifting My people up into heavenly realms with Me.

Places where you will soar on the wings of Eagles. Places where you will always have the enemy under your feet. Places where you are seated with Me, learn of Me and receive My instructions.

Now watch and see what I will do for you. I have heard every prayer and have seen every need. I am ready to pour out a great abundance of blessing and provision upon your lives so that you may go forth to do My will. Every promise that I have made unto you will be fulfilled just as I have spoken.

Do not walk in the fear of man, but fear only Me. For no man shall be able to stand in the way of the move of My Spirit that is now upon you. The fear of your God is the beginning of wisdom.

I am pleased with your desire to obey me by taking the place of a servant. I am lifting My servants up into heavenly realms where they will rule and reign with Me as Kings and priests for My Kingdom.

My Glory is ready to shine upon My people as I am coming forth in this great move of My power to pour out My spirit upon the nations. So, now is the time to Arise My people and to move with My Spirit as My Glory comes upon you.

Isaiah 60:1-5

.vs.1- Arise, and shine, for your light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

vs. 2- For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His Glory shall be seen upon you.

vs. 3- And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and Kings to the brightness of your rising.

vs. 4- Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to you: your sons shall come from far; and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

vs. 5- Then you shall see, and flow together; and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto you, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto you. (See the rest of the chapter)

You are one of many that have cried out in the hours of the night, in the early morning hours. And you have said in your heart: Oh, God! I'm so tired of the sham! I'm so tired of that , which is not real in your place! I want to see reality come forth!

And the Lord says: I would have you know and others around you know this day, that the REAL GOD is coming forth, with the REAL MOVE in My place.

It will not be dramatized by men. It will not be the theatrics of the professionals that will be coming forth.

But it will be the TRUE Word of God. It will be the TRUE ministry of God. And it will be the TRUE gifts of God in operation.

Instead of being dramatized, they will be criticized. Instead of men being loved like you, they will be hated. They will be hated in My places of ministry. And the REAL will be hated by many, says the Lord.

But I would have you know this day, that I am putting something within you, that will come forth. That will push against men's ideas, and men's methods, and men's theatrics and men's dramatization, says the Lord.

Because I am coming forth with the REAL FIRE. And it will burn up all of the strange fires that have been brought forth in My places of ministry. I will remove all of the strange acts. As I come forth in the action of My power, like I plan to do in My place.

All of the strange fires will be put out, and all of the strange acts will be done away with. And only the real will come forth when I move, says the Lord of Hosts.

The day that I am going to kick the Bushel basket off of you is soon to be upon you. For you have been a light. But so far I have hidden you.

And I have not allowed you to come to the fore-front. And I have not allowed your voice to be heard. And I have not allowed you to come into prominence. And I have not allowed you to come into full authority.

And I have not given you a place of honor. Neither have I given you a place where your voice would be heard and where respect or authority would be. For those things are for an appointed time, but it was not yet the season.

There was still work that I was doing within you. And heat that I was applying to your life. There were things that I was taking you through. And there were relationships that I was allowing you to make right, both, from the past and to the present.

But I declare unto you that the day is fast approaching, where I shall kick the Bushel basket off of you, and the light shall be clear, and it shall shine brightly.

And people shall look and they shall even say: The Word of the Lord is really in you. The Word of the Lord is truly in you. And you shall say, look how they have changed towards me. For I have been here all along.

Child, it was not them that changed, but it was you that changed. And it was My Spirit in you, and it was the integrity of My Word that I have placed within you. And the changes that I brought. And it was the pressure that I applied to cause the change to come.

It is coming and is nigh upon you. That I shall remove the basket off of your light. And you shall be seen as a bright light in a dark place, says the spirit of God.

For, I will give you the pieces to the puzzle that have been missing. But this time it shall come forth in humility. This time it shall come forth in tenderness. This time it shall come forth with a servants heart.

And the Word of the Lord, even as Joseph of old shall be received with wisdom. They shall say, this is a wise servant, says the Lord.

Do not be impatient, nor grieved within yourself for those who would not hear you. But say only in your heart, When the timing is right, God will do it! For I am truly with you and I will cause you to be a success, says the Spirit of the Lord.

Matthew 5:15- Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.-kjv

The way that you have desired to go and the path that you have desired to walk, and the things that you have wanted from me is not a popular path. It's not a popular path!!!

If you look for those in high places to come along side, to put their approval and to put their arms around you, to call you to walk with them. You'll be disappointed.

For I did not call you to walk the popular path, but I did cause you to walk the path that I have put within your heart to walk. I gave you the desire and I gave you the unction. I gave you a hunger to walk under the anointing of the prophetic.

I have cut away from you the things that were not of me and I have prevented you from walking into paths that were not of me. And I interrupted your path in the places that you wanted to go because of your enthusiasm, excitement and your desiring to.

I saw danger up ahead and I prevented you from doing it. Do not look for the approval of man. Do not look for those that are in high places to say, come on up here with us. Come and stand with the mighty man.

There is a place where I will send you down into the low places. To pick up the one who has been left on the side of the road. I will send you to that one, and I will use you as the Samaritan, to that one. That , even those who have been religious and those that have been Levites pass by.

And I will send you to pour in the oil and the wine. I say to you, if you look for mans approval, you will be disappointed. But if you will look to please me, the day will come, when they shall say, come up here with us. Come and stand, by the Mighty man of valor.

Then I shall say, look how he doesn't need it, so I will give it to him. He doesn't need it, so I'll give it to him.

I've made you to be a truth speaker. One that will have truth in your mouth and will speak it. I've taught you also to temper it with mercy and with grace.

I've told you to speak the truth and the truth would
deliver. And the truth would set men free. So speak truth. Speak that which is truth.

Let truth come from your mouth and lips. My truth. And even as you speak truth and the other side of the sword that is painted with mercy and grace, it will bring healing to the rejected. It will bring healing to that one who has been lost and forsaken.

Remember, not always popular, but you will walk in truth and will be known as one who will set many free.

That spirit that has come unto you saying, "This won't work, there is no use going ahead with it, it will not work. "But i say unto you : I, this day have slapped that spirit right in the mouth, says the Lord of Hosts; with my hand i have slapped that spirit right in the mouth."

"And i would have you know, that it is going to work, because it's the Works of Christ that i have placed in you. And the Works of Christ will always work, regardless of what any spirit of hell would tell you."

"And i have anointed your ears today, and i will give you more. Yes, i am going to give you more! And it will work, and you will not hold back, and i have erased that wall that has been butting against your forehead, says the Lord. You have not been butting against the wall yourself, but the wall has been butting against your forehead."

"But i say unto you, I with my own hands today, have removed that wall, and you will go forward, and it will work, and you will hold out. And you will perform that which i have placed in your mouth and spoken in your ears, and no demon of hell will counter that, says the Lord of hosts." ~L. D. Oxford
