Babel : LET US MAKE A NAME FOR OURSELVES
April 27th, 2008
Priscilla Van Sutphin
Today as I was listening to this part of Genesis felt a nudging of the Lord that He wanted to say something.
Gen 11:1-4 CJB (S: vii) 1 The whole earth used the same language, the same words. 2 It came about that as they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shin‘ar and lived there. 3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them in the fire.” So they had bricks for building-stone and clay for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city with a tower that has its top reaching up into heaven, so that we can make a name for ourselves and not be scattered all over the earth.”
Message Bible says it this way…
Gen 11:1-4 At one time, the whole Earth spoke the same language. 2 It so happened that as they moved out of the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled down.
3 They said to one another, "Come, let's make bricks and fire them well." They used brick for stone and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city and a tower that reaches Heaven. Let's make ourselves famous so we won't be scattered here and there across the Earth."
“I AM the Lord Your GOD, and I will have no other gods before ME. I AM the MIGHTY ONE and there is no one mighty as I AM. I AM the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. And what an end I am making to this scenario ! I have saved the best wine for last ! I am pouring and pouring and pouring out My most favored wine. I am making a feast on the lees for all who are willing to come.
There are many who will or would not come, so I will bring in those who WILL come, the broken and lame, and I will seat them before princes and kings. They will be healed and delivered powerfully like the Gadarene demoniac, and they will be used to bring in the sheaves. Many who have paid a great price will be delivered instantly from all kinds of afflictions and torments, just as when I walked the earth. I will break THROUGH all that has beset you and stand you on the ROCK and you will do what I called you to do.
There will be such a flood and outpouring that no one will be able to contain it or take credit for it. I tell you now that if you try to reorganize it, and take credit for it, there will be DIRE results. Florida was the root of beginnings in this nation, and just as it was the first place in many things, it has become the first place, but certainly not the last, for it will spread like a wildfire to all parts of the land where I HAVE ORDAINED FOR IT TO FLOW. This is not man’s movement. It is MINE.
The Portion of Jacob is in your midst, but it is just the beginning, and you will see even more startling things as the days of this year pass. I tell you this is NOT to be taken credit for. For I am pouring out in response to the prayers of MANY, not any one person. It is MY timing, MY MOVE, MY WAVE OF GLORY THAT IS COMING. IT does not belong to any man.
I am to be the PREEMINENT ONE, and I will have My way. This is not for an elitist group of people to “handle” I will take it so far above any of man’s plans, and there will be a HOLINESS that comes and defeats any attempt of the enemy to gain a foothold.
I AM OF THE IMPRESSION THAT I AM HEAD OF THE CHURCH THAT IS CALLED BY MY NAME.
WATCH THAT IN YOUR EXCITEMENT AND JOY THAT WILL BE SO FULL FROM WHAT I DO, THAT YOU DON’T ALLOW SELF IN THE WAY !
For any man who takes credit will have to face ME and the fullness of MY GLORY !
Watch your tongues ! Do NOT criticize nor judge. PRAY.
Do not make the mistake of Babel to try and make a name for yourself.
People WILL want to laud you, for they are in much idolatry in this hour.
But out of your mouth, shall there not be any bowing to anyone other than US. Father, Son & Holy Spirit are ONE, but if you call unholy what is HOLY, you will find yourself on sinking sand.
Take the “I” our of your language and remember the LORD YOUR GOD Who saved you ! Get used to HE did this, HE did that ! It’s not about YOU.
It is about what I did on the cross ! It is about the BLOOD I SHED !
I AM REVIVAL. I AM HEALING. I AM PEACE. I AM JOY.
I AM THE RESOURCE, NOT ANY MAN.
LAY DOWN YOUR IDOLATRY TO MAN SONS OF GOD !
I am still on the throne. You are to lift up MY NAMES, not make a name for yourselves ! If you don’t wear the mantle of humility, what is given will be taken away.
Many will come to the front in this move who have been thought to be NOTHINGS. Then you will see who the true shepherds are ! Then you will see who are really wolves. Do not bow to mammon. RELEASE YOURSELF from the greedy and liars. Do NOT have anything to do with the fruits of DARKNESS ! Awaken from your slumber daughter of Zion, for the KING Who loves you is in Your midst. Let me take you for a dance ! Let me take you for a spin ! I AM THE RESTORER ! I am restoring MY HEADSHIP in the church & in the WORLD !”
Ex 29:43-45 AMP There I will meet with the Israelites, and the Tent of Meeting shall be sanctified by My glory [the Shekinah, God's visible presence]. 44 And I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar; I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me in the priest's office. 45 And I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.
Isa 48:10-11 AMP Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried and chosen you in the furnace of affliction. 11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I do it [I refrain and do not utterly destroy you]; for why should I permit My name to be polluted and profaned [which it would be if the Lord completely destroyed His chosen people]? And I will not give My glory to another [by permitting the worshipers of idols to triumph over you].
Ex 33:22-23 NKJV So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen."
John 15:12-17 NKJV This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
John 15:18-20 NKJV The World's Hatred "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you,'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also
1 John 2:6 AMP Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.
1 John 2:9-11 AMP Whoever says he is in the Light and [yet] hates his brother [Christian, born-again child of God his Father] is in darkness even until now. 10 Whoever loves his brother [believer] abides (lives) in the Light, and in It or in him there is no occasion for stumbling or cause for error or sin. 11 But he who hates (detests, despises) his brother [in Christ] is in darkness and walking (living) in the dark; he is straying and does not perceive or know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
