The Cadence of Drums

Tonight just about 20 min ago 
I took out the garbage, & as I 
was walking to the dumpster 
in the apartment, the Lord said 
to me in my mind { Do you hear the 
cadence of drums – do you remember that ? }   

For a moment I had to think.  Then I remembered it was a word I gave in the church I was going to at the time, the Sunday before 9-11. I had not published it as I could not remember it, & it wasn’t recorded. 

Most thought I was off the wall.  As it came with dynamic delivery under the unction & I could hardly stand the Spirit of God was overshadowing me so strongly. The same thing happened as He said this tonight.  

He started also talking to me about people coming of late, he had warned me some would come to try my soul, but He would see me through it.  And true to His word, it’s been happening.  

Young people who are precious souls, but very troubled,  lots of baggage emotionally, etc.  He was saying, when you take someone in, & treat them lovingly, even when you are so pressed, & you don’t feel like it, that is love.  When you treat someone with kindness they don’t deserve, that is love.  

I knew I was in a retesting time from what He had spoken & what is happening.  Sometimes He does this to show ME how I have changed, or to show me how I haven’t changed enough.  But it is all in His timing & training.

I waited for a friend to get off the computer, then listened for what He might say about that word in the driveway to the dumpster.
The Lord...
“The enemy comes on the wings of the east wind, with intent to bring tragedy & terror, murder & strife, hopelessness & panic.  

But I have come & am coming also on the wings of the wind to bring FREEDOM & LIBERTY to the captives.  

I am coming to destroy the plans of the wicked one & to expose the truth.  I have a greater plan for mankind than to destroy it.  

The fullness of what is planned will be muted.  But I will not stop all the plans because of the complacency & apathy over this nation, as the violence & murder have increased & the stench of pride has risen to the heavens in defiance of ME.    

I tell you to brace yourself & TRUST IN ME ALONE.  For there is no one, & no thing that can save you but ME.  To the Lord alone belong escapes from death!

Ps 68:20 NKJV Our God is the God of salvation; & to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death . 

Ps 33:18-19 NKJV   Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy,  19 To deliver their soul from death , & to keep them alive in famine. 

Though the vision tarries, yet I will bring forth life out of death a& LIGHT out of darkness.  I have much to say to you about mercy & justice.  I have much to share with you about love for your brothers & sisters in this hour. 

You are going to learn what is really important in this hour is relationship & fellowship with ME, & with each other.

You are going to find those who have been deluded & deceived into believing lies in great confusion for what is happening.  

Man in his flesh will try to fight with his own strength what can ONLY be fought on his knees.  HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE WHO align themselves with violence & murder.  

Have nothing to do with those who walk in prejudice & hatred. For I AM RELEASING ANGELS TO DESTROY THE HATRED, TO DESTROY THE FEAR OF MAN THAT LEADS TO HATRED & COMPETITION.  

I WILL RELEASE A TSUNAMI OF LOVE, REMEMBER? THERE WILL BE AN  UNPRECEDENTED OUT-POURING OF MY LOVE & KINDNESS THAT WILL SUPERCEDE ALL THE SUSPICION & DISTRUST IN THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST.  

MY PEOPLE WILL ARISE & DO GREAT EXPLOITS IN MY NAME.  

Do not find yourself on TAKING SIDES against brothers & sisters. Even though they want to castigate you & blaspheme your name. Do not fall into the trap the enemy has set.

And do not fall prey to the vultures of DEPRESSION who are waiting to cause great harm & despair upon the people.  

YOU are to be a beacon of hope in a dying world. You are to be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.  Make your light to so shine before men that they may come to know My love and My salvation!

Matt 5:16 NKJV Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works & glorify your Father in heaven.  

Your work will be in your neighborhoods, in the streets of your cities. There will be children aban-doned in the days ahead & youth pushed out of homes too early, & unprepared for what comes on this nation, & women abandoned & widowed.   

But I have called YOU TO BE A RESTORER of the streets to dwell in. I have called you to build up the waste places & to bring the message of SALVATION to those in darkness, to loose the bands of wicked-ness & to proclaim the day of the vengeance of our LORD.  

I will cause people to give into your hands the wealth of the nations for the SAKE OF THE KINGDOM.

Isa 58:12 NKJV Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. 

Isa 60:1-8 NKJV  The Gentiles Bless Zion 
Arise, shine; For your light has come!  And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, & deep darkness the people;  But the LORD will arise over you, & His glory will be seen upon you. 
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, & kings to the brightness of your rising. 
4 "Lift up your eyes all around, & see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, & your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 
5 Then you shall see & become radiant, & your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. 
6 The multitude of camels shall cover your land, The dromedaries of Midian & Ephah; All those from Sheba shall come; They shall bring gold & incense, & they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;  They shall ascend with acceptance on My altar, & I will glorify the house of My glory. 8 "Who are these who fly like a cloud, & like doves to their roosts? 

The Lord continued:
“Yes there is the cadence of drums, & there will be many tragedies in the days to come ALL OVER THE WORLD for even the EARTH IS GROANING.  

But I WILL sustain you. I will empower you & give you strength like you have not known, as I AM RESTORING & I AM releasing world wide AWAKENING through MY SPIRIT to bring in a final harvest of souls in the earth. 

IT IS as in NOAH’s time, yes, but MY SON HAS COME TO BRING LIFE & to REDEEM  the lives of the world for I SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT I GAVE MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.  

You will see more than you have seen. You will walk more than you have walked with ME before.  I will uncover mysteries.  

I will destroy the knowledge of the learned, & “great minds” of the nations with what I do in you.  

Do you feel the wind blowing?  Do you hear  a rustle in the trees?  Do you hear the new sound coming forth? 

Listen for the ROAR OF THE LION.  For the LION OF JUDAH will ROAR OVER YOU !

Then I had a vision of a huge lion roaring so loudly, that a wind blew a person’s hair back from the force of it!

Dan 12:4 AMP  But you, O Daniel, shut up the words & seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to & fro & search anxiously [through the Book], & knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased & become great. [Amos 8:12.]

"I told many of you I would send you to nations.  I have been preparing many to leave everything behind. And I have been preparing others for a time in the wilderness. 

I have been preparing MANY for large scale ministries that will reach out to the poor & desperate & heal the wounds of this nation.  

I have prepared MANY EVANGELISTS, MANY TEACHERS, MANY PROPHETS, MANY APOSTLES, that you would prepare those who now come into the nets - into the harvest in this hour who also will go for US.   

Do not let your hearts be in despair over the conditions of the world & this nation.  Do not give into the vultures of depression sent to cause you to give up, & to commit suicide.  

MANY WILL because they have been given over to delusion.  But do not allow what you see around you to torment your mind. The ONLY way you will keep your sanity will be through communion with ME, & to obey ME.”

1 Cor 1:19-21 AMP   For it is written, I will baffle & render useless & destroy the learning of the learned & the philosophy of the philosophers & the clever-ness of the clever & the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate & nullify [them] & bring [them] to nothing. [Isa 29:14.]
20 Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time & age? Has not God shown up the nonsense & the folly of this world's wisdom?
21 For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive & recognize & know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ & to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to & trusted in & relied on Him).

Rom 1:22-32 AMP
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].  23 And by them the glory & majesty & excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for & represented by images, resembling mortal man & birds & beasts & reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin],  

25 Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie & worshiped & served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [Jer 2:11.]  
26 For this reason God gave them over & abandoned them to vile affections & degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural & abnormal one,

27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women & were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men & suffering in their own bodies & personalities the inevitable consequences & penalty of their wrong-doing & going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution. 

28 And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base & condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome,

29 Until they were filled (permeated & saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping & covetous greed, & malice. [They were] full of envy & jealousy, murder, strife, deceit & treachery, ill will & cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters & gossipers,  
30 Slanderers, hateful to & hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [&] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient & undutiful to parents. 
31 [They were] without understanding, conscience-less & faithless, heartless & loveless [&] merciless.

  32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve & applaud others who practice them.
