“Going With the Flow”
January 3rd, 2006
Priscilla Van Sutphin
“ Self sufficiency in My Church MUST come
to an end. There are too many just going with
the flow of what others do, and not listening
to the wind of My Spirit. You MUST in the
days ahead depend on ME or it could mean your premature death. Listen to My voice, as you would listen to the sound of the wind through the trees. I am not in the brutal winds, nor the earthquakes or the floods of many waters, but in the still small voice.
John 3:8 NKJV The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
I am NOT a harsh taskmaster. I am NOT requiring you to strive, but to YIELD to My Spirit so that the voice of My spirit would lead you, that you would go with the flow of MY SPIRIT, not with the flow of what others are doing. You are called to righteousness, peace, and joy in the Spirit. There are so many things I want to show you My bride, but will you listen ? Will you stop moving and rushing around so that you can hear. Will you attend to My voice like you would an attentive lover ?
Will you hesitate to obey Me when I call ? I am looking for those who listen, and those who not only listen, but then OBEY what I tell them to do ! For it is not the hearer who is counted worthy…it is the doer.
James 1:22-25 NKJV But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
How do I take away self sufficiency ? By making you very dependent on ME.
How does one become dependent when before was self sufficient ? By being put in a place where he cannot do anything in and of himself. By being reduced to inability, then you will not rely on your own ability. So you can keep on doing what you want, or you can YIELD to what I want, and humble yourselves, before you are forced to humility. But you said, I would not. So the winds will blow until all that is shaken will be shaken. And when the earth is renewed again, after it’s humbling, then will there be left a people
who knows their God and knows themselves as they really are !
Be found in ME, for I am knocking on the doors, and who will let ME in ?
Who will invite ME in to sup with you, to lie with you ? Will you ALLOW ME in ? Or will you be too busy to even notice that I am there ? I am determined for the sake of My bride and there are SO many still not in the Kingdom of Light. I must overturn the strategies of the enemy that My own will survive what is coming. BE unafraid My beloveds, for I AM WITH YOU.
I AM Your SHIELD and BUCKLER.
I AM YOUR EVERLASTING FATHER.
I DO NOT FAINT OR LOSE HEART LIKE MAN DOES.
I WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND THE POWER TO GO THROUGH THE STORMS IF YOU WILL JUST TURN TO ME. COMMUNE WITH ME.
I AM THE LOVER OF YOUR SOUL.
COME TO ME, AND ALLOW ME TO EMBUE YOU WITH STRENGTH AND MIGHT ! The spirit of MIGHT is coming and you will again be envigorated with MY STRENGTH and POWER to battle as never before !
FEAR NOT, for I am with you in this last battle.
You will go through hard things so it is necessary for you to get your hearts
set on pilgrimage, not to this earth, but to the life to come.
The RIVER OF LIFE will flow, and will you go with the flow or be dragging your heals ? Will you allow MY SPIRIT TO MOVE THROUGH YOU to CRY, TO WAIL, TO PROPHESY, TO HEAL, TO RAISE THE DEAD AND TO CAST OUT DEMONS ? WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO MOVE THROUGH YOU AT MY WILL AND NOT YOUR WILL ? THIS is what I need. I need vessels emptied of themselves so that I can move through them at will.
LAY DOWN YOUR OWN WILL, and pick up MINE.
FOR I ALONE AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, AND I WANT TO SHINE THROUGH YOU TO ALL AROUND YOU.
I AM COMING QUICKLY, SO COME ASIDE WITH ME. SHUT OUT THE WAYS OF THE WORLD AND BE FILLED WITH MY GLORY !

Isa 2:2 NKJV Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains,

Amos 9:13-15 NKJV "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, a nd all the hills shall flow with it. 14 I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. 15 I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them," Says the LORD your God.
Job 20:20-29 NKJV from: Zophar's Sermon on the Wicked Man
20 "Because he knows no quietness in his heart, He will not save anything he desires. 21 Nothing is left for him to eat; Therefore his well-being will not last. 22 In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; Every hand of misery will come against him. 23 When he is about to fill his stomach ,God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating. 24 He will flee from the iron weapon; A bronze bow will pierce him through. 25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him; 26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent. 27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him. 28 The increase of his house will depart, And his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath. 29 This is the portion from God for a wicked man, The heritage appointed to him by God."
Isa 8:6-10 NKJV "Inasmuch as these people refused The waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and in Remaliah's son; 7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them The waters of the River, strong and mighty — The king of Assyria and all his glory; He will go up over all his channels and go over all his banks. 8 He will pass through Judah,He will overflow and pass over, He will reach up to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel. 9 "Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces. 10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, for God is with us."
Jer 14:17 NKJV "Therefore you shall say this word to them: 'Let my eyes flow with tears night and day, And let them not cease; For the virgin daughter of my people Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
Lam 3:49-54 NKJV My eyes flow and do not cease, Without interruption,
50 Till the LORD from heaven Looks down and sees. 51 My eyes bring suffering to my soul because of all the daughters of my city. 52 My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird. 53 They silenced my life in the pit
And threw stones at me. 54 The waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!"
Joel 3:18 -21 NKJV God Blesses His People
And it will come to pass in that day That the mountains shall drip with new wine, The hills shall flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water; A fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD and water the Valley of Acacias.
19 "Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a desolate wilderness, because of violence against the people of Judah, For they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted; For the LORD dwells in Zion."
Micah 4:1 NKJV The LORD's Reign in Zion (cf. Isa 2:2-4)
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.
Zech 14:8-10 NKJV And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur. 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be — "The LORD is one," And His name one. 10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.
John 7:38-39 AMP He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water. 39 But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).
