“Principles”
Jan 4th, 2023

There are indisputable principles as a 
foundation in My Word that will forever 
remain the same, because they are 
eternal in ME. NO MAN can change that! 
Laws cannot change it. But neither can 
laws make men change their hearts. Only 
Holy Spirit can do that. My Word is LIFE 
to your Spirit. I breathe My LIFE into every word I speak to true prophets & apostles. That is, they will bring LIFE to others through whatever means I choose. They admonish, they convict, they draw to me those who need My love. They edify; they comfort & make people think; give understanding & wisdom to those who are in need.

They are NOT to make men or women “popular” though many will be made popular by man’s institutions & frailty to idolatry. The words I bring point to Me, that is they make you realize My character, My goodness, My power & LOVE. They break strongholds & lies. This is because the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of JESUS. All brings glory to My name.

The earth is hurdling towards darkness & those who can see this are dismayed & many frightened. But if you have understanding of My Word, you know Who wins in the end, & you know My graciousness towards those who love Me. I said I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS. I SAID, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. You are My elect, My beloveds, My sought after treasures! I am yours, and you are Mine! I need to remind you of this because fear has crippled many of you into compromise & the spirit of heaviness.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matt 6:19-21 NKJV

Job 22:23-25 “If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, & place your gold in the dust, & the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, Then the Almighty will be your gold & choice silver to you.

Malachi 3
1 “Behold, I send My messenger, & he will prepare the way before Me.And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,” Says the Lord of hosts.
2 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire & like launderers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner & a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, & purge them as gold & silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.
4 “Then the offering of Judah & Jerusalem will be pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. 5 And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
Against perjurers,
Against those who exploit wage earners & widows & orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,” Says the Lord of hosts. 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him & who meditate on His name.

….17 “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” 18 Then you shall again DISCERN between the righteous & the wicked, between one who serves God & one who does not serve Him.

Have I not said that you will TRAMPLE the WICKED?

Malachi 4:2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings: & grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” Says the Lord of hosts.

MY KINGDOM IS A NEVER-ENDING KINGDOM! DID I NOT TELL YOU THIS IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL? MY KINGDOM CONSUMES ALL OTHER KINGDOMS IN THE EARTH!!!

YOU ARE ON THE WINNING TEAM IF YOU HAVE SURRENDERED TO ME! If you don’t understand this, it is because you have not come to the full understanding of My love for you! Thus, I AM going to POUR OUT MY LOVE LIKE A MIGHTY RIVER UPON THE EARTH WITH POWER THAT WILL CONSUME EVERY EVIL THING THAT HAS KEPT YOU FROM IT!

I know it seems hard for you to believe with all that is going on. But did I not prepare My own Son on the mountain where Moses & Elijah appeared to Him. I transfigured Him. This prepared Him for bearing the humiliation & beating & death on the cross. Thus I AM going to prepare you also in like manner to endure what is coming, that you will be able to do great exploits in My name, & endure the hardship of this season on the earth. So be NOT dismayed at all that threatens you.

Understand that YOU are My explicit treasures, that I watch over carefully. Yes you are being purged from the influences of this world & the enemy’s lies, but you will be glorified & able to rise above all that the enemy tries to throw at you. You will hear My voice behind you saying do this, don’t do that; Go here, do not go there!!

I will lead you in the path of righteousness for My name’s sake.My sheep hear My voice I said. If you are not hearing, what is it you are carrying that is too heavy a weight for you? People who love each other spend time with one another, sometimes just in quietness. And those who care will listen carefully to what you say, do they not?
I even hear your thoughts & know the desires of your heart.

Deut 7:6 NKJV “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

[Special treasure in the Hebrew means to shut up; wealth as closely kept (shut up) – jewel, peculiar(treasure), proper, good, special] something closely guarded & watched over.

There will be challenges this year that will bring you to your knees often, & will make you wonder at My goodness, but My goodness is not measured by worldly standards, as if I’m the sugar daddy in the sky like many in the world think. Just as My Son laid down His life for you, I AM asking you to lay down your lives for those around you who will need your love & care. They need ME, & how will they know without a preacher? How will they know without someone to demonstrate that love?

Will you be willing to sacrifice when I ask you to, whatever I ask? This is what I am purging...all self-will, self- centeredness, all selfishness. I am purging all the wickedness in the earth & in My church that calls itself by My name. I WILL BREAK EVERY CHAIN THE ENEMY HAS TRIED TO KEEP ON YOU!

And for those who have been hidden in the desert, going through pain & suffering & purgings for a long time, suffering for the sake of the church & the calls on their lives, & that of their children, IT IS A BRAND NEW DAY! For I am promoting you to the calls on your lives that I have promised you & prepared you for. Many who have not heard the call will also be awakened to newness of LIFE. Homeless beggars will be called to new life! So do not look down at those who don’t live up to the standards of the world. Drug addicts & drug lords will be saved & transformed to preach the gospel & they will NOT FEAR!

Birthing time is at hand, so get your houses in order. Where are the churches who have prepared for the lack that is coming? Where are those who have prepared for the persecution & injustices coming? Have you also been willing to pay your worshipers, like David did so they can do 24 hour worship, for it will be needed to bring down the enemy’s strongholds over areas. The enemy will & has been coming hard against the prayer warriors & worship warriors!

Oh church called by My name, are you caring for the abandoned single moms & widows? Are you caring for those who feed you people of God? For there will be lack, & people will need skills that many of you do not have, but others have, that could help train them in how to sprout seeds, how to grow food, how to care for others.

I will give you all you need if you will seek MY FACE & ask for instructions in what you can do. For it is upon you now. Others have prepared, & I need you to listen for My voice. For I will also do many startling miracles of provision for all who are Mine who have been unable to prepare as others. So worry not! Do not be afraid, but share what you have with who I tell you to. Be led by MY HOLY Spirit. You need community to do what will be needed. You will HAVE to meet in homes in future so organize it now, so that when it comes it will be an easier transition.

For I AM COMING LIKE A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND & NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME! Wicked, deluded church leaders going along with the new order will persecute you & turn you over to authorities on unjust charges, just like they did to Me. You should not be surprised when this happens for it has already started, & I told you before hand it would be this way. Unbelief has blinded many, but I will tear away the veils over many eyes with what I do to bring down their New world. I will lay waste the lying distractions & bring clarity to those who seek it.”
