See Ezekiel 34
Word of the Lord:
“ Because you have abandoned ME, the Hope of all Glory, many of you will be abandoned due to being derelict in your duties to ME. I’ve told you to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. But many of you have long ago abandoned your devotion to Me, and replaced it with ministry, family, things of this world, selfish ambition and yes, even deliberate sins of the pride of life, and the lust of the flesh and this world. YOUR HOPE IS TO BE IN ME. YOU are to be HIDDEN in ME. But you have gone a whoring to other gods of this world. Gods of Egypt, in this day and age, and gods of Freemasonry, even Satan himself, gods of the new age and self, worshipping trees, and idols of wood, metal and concrete, and the all time favorite idol of MONEY.
Isa 66:3 AMP [The acts of the hypocrite's worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols.] He who kills an ox [then] will be as guilty as if he slew and sacrificed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb or a kid, as if he broke a dog's neck and sacrificed him; he who offers a cereal offering, as if he offered swine's blood; he who burns incense [to God], as if he blessed an idol. [Such people] have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;
Money comes before everything for many even in the church that is called by My name. -EVEN in the churches who call themselves REVIVAL churches.
-EVEN in the churches who prophesy, who heal the sick and cast out demons.
Only now they do it for MONEY. Many have sold out to mammon. A deliverance for $1000. A series of teaching for only $400. But is this what I’ve called you to oh man ? Is this the life I called you to ? Did I only call you to greed ? Did I say you should rule by oligarchy ? You see, I had the idea that I SHOULD BE PREEMINENT IN MY CHURCH. I had the idea that I as KING OF KINGS and LORD of LORDS should rule and reign over MY PEOPLE. Peter said “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give FREELY !”
[Oligarchy (Greek Ὀλιγαρχία, Oligarkhía) is a form of government where political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society (whether distinguished by wealth, family or military powers). The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for "few" (ὀλίγον óligon) and "rule" (ἄρχω arkho). Compare with autocracy (rule by one person) and democracy (power in the people).]
I have longed to take you into My arms and show you truth, but you would not come. You are too busy with all your ministry details. You are too busy with your fame and fortune. You are too busy, just too busy. Too busy to have time for GOD ALMIGHTY, the RULER of the UNIVERSE !
HA !
Have you not known, have you not heard ? The Lord looks down from heaven upon the sons of men, and He looks for the one with a contrite and humble heart ! He looks for the one who bends to HIS will. He looks upon the lowly and lifts up the lowly and sets them among kings. The last will be first and the first will be last.
If you thought you could build a kingdom for yourself that would never end. You are now at an impass. For I have removed your candlestick oh hireling of the flock. I NOW will blow and blow and blow on My garden and she will KNOW that I AM LORD.
Your lordship over anything will be removed, and those who you disdained will replace you. Those you murdered emotionally and spiritually with your greed and self centeredness will now arise and take your place. For low the winds are blowing and the eyes of MY SHEEP will be opened to the TRUTH. They will desire truth. And all who desire truth will be saved. All who bend to ME, will be saved. But those who bend to man and HIS WAYS over MY WAYS, will not be left standing.
For I am anointing the lowly ones with a new anointing. This is the anointing they have been waiting for.
[ Even as He said this…I started groaning in the spirit, as if He is birthing something NEW ] Isa 66:7 AMP Before [Zion] travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came upon her, she was delivered of a male child.
For I have spoken for many years of this day, of this NEW THING I will do. BEHOLD, NOW I stand at the door and knock. He who opens to ME, He who is willing to bow down at MY feet and worship ME, will arise with NEW LIFE. NEW LIFE in ME will make all things new around you and IN YOU.
NEW LIFE, RESURRECTION LIFE will bring LIFE, HEALTH, WEALTH, PROSPERITY OF SOUL, and COMMISSIONING, for the lost are calling. The sea of peoples are calling out to ME, begging ME for LIFE. Begging to know truth. The weak, the lame, the poor and outcast cry out, and I am going to answer the cries of their hearts.
I WILL ARISE, for the sake of MY HEART. I will arise and lay the enemy waste.
Will you arise from your slumber and sleep ? Will you arise and see that I AM hungry for HARVEST ? YES, I know the hearts who are one with ME. I KNOW the longing for MORE OF ME. I KNOW those who have suffered for MY name’s sake. And NOW, I WILL ARISE and make My name known among the sons of men.
Extinguish all doubt in your hearts beloved Bride, for I AM the remedy for all that is wrong in the church and in the world. So many just long for escape. But I LONG FOR SOULS and to see souls SET FREE. I am clothing you with fine linen My bride ! I am refurvishing your closet. I have new robes for you to wear. I have new garments with which I want you to minister MY LOVE, MY JOY, MY PEACE, MY KINDNESS with. I have many MANTLES of GRACE to clothe you with beloveds. There is NO LACK from MY PERSPECTIVE.
So cast off all doubt and condemnation. Cast aside all UNBELIEF. For I will utterly ASTOUND YOU, with what I do. Who has heard such a thing ? Shall a nation be saved in a day ? Who has heard the report ? Nations will come to the brightness of your rising. Will I bring to birth and not deliver ? I have told you and told you that I am bringing forth a NEW THING in your now, and NOW it will spring forth. I will show signs and wonders in the earth and in the heavens, in mankind and remove all leaven. YOU will see a new church arise from the ashes of the old which will be destroyed. In order to build a new foundation, the building must be brought down to the ground and rebuilt from bottom up. STAND and see the salvation of the LORD for His people ! ARISE AND SHINE FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME ! THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISING UPON YOU ! ”
Isa 60:3 AMP And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. [Isa 2:2,3; Jer 3:17.]
Isa 60:8-9 AMP Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows? 9 Surely the isles and distant coastlands shall wait for and expect Me; and the ships of Tarshish [shall come] first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the Lord your God, for the Holy One of Israel, because He has beautified and glorified you.
Isa 66:9 AMP Shall I bring to the [moment of] birth and not cause to bring forth? says the Lord. Shall I Who causes to bring forth shut the womb? says your God.
