”Stop Making My Father’s House a Marketplace !!!”
June 25, 2011
Thru Priscilla Van Sutphin
Was watching the gospel of John movie today when I felt the Lord start to talk to me after this part where Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers.
Zech 14:20-21 NKJV 20 In that day "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts.* Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
Zech 14:21 CJB 21 Yes, every cooking pot in Yerushalayim and Y’hudah will be consecrated to Adonai-Tzva’ot. Everyone who offers sacrifices will come, take them and use them to stew the meat. When that day comes, there will no longer be merchants in the house of Adonai-Tzva’ot.
OT:3669 yn!u&n^K= Kena`aniy (ken-ah-an-ee'); patrial from OT:3667; a Kenaanite or inhabitant of Kenaan; by implication, a peddlar (the Canaanites standing for their neighbors the Ishmaelites, who conducted mercantile caravans): KJV - Canaanite, merchant, trafficker.
John 2:14-17 NKJV 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten* Me up."*
The Lord is no less zealous for His house in this hour !
The Word of the Lord…
“Those who have squandered their money on selfish gain in this hour, will themselves be brought low. Many will say, this is the enemy attacking them, but what does My Word say ? “ The beast will hate the harlot”. It rains on the good and the bad, but the good will be upheld despite persecution. Those who have fallen to greed, avarice, and selfish ambition will fall like the tall towers. But in falling , their souls may be saved. Do not laugh or say AHA ! Because you don’t know if you would fall to the same temptations if you had their money ! Do not say “AHA!” because you could not be righteous except for MY GRACE, MY POWER in you. If I withdrew that grace, you may not stand either!
Those that fall will lose everything, many will also die as martyrs, so do not be envious, nor mocking on My HOLY mountain ! I AM the Righteous Judge.
Many good people will also fall because of the attention on those who do wrong. PRAY that you may endure. I have not called the righteous to wrath, but in every generation there is persecution and suffering of the saints, and you know that in the nations there is MUCH suffering way beyond anything you endure. The righteous in Africa endure sleeplessness, hunger, meager provision while those who compromise live and walk in lies, and abundance, selling their soul to the devil for what they can have for themselves.
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Now they laugh at murder and mayhem is having it’s day for a time. Be zealous for the right things beloveds, for I have need of you in this hour ! Be concerned about holiness for yourself, and come to Me when your heart is heavy, for in this hour many hearts will be vexed at what they see around them. There is so much mixture in revelation that is because of mixture in the church that is called by My name. I will NOT leave you helpless or comfortless, EVER !
Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights in whom there is no turning. And I have prepared a LIGHT show of My own for this hour. Heaviness has come to try to steal your joy, but your joy will be made complete in ME, as I pour out My Spirit on all flesh. ARISE AND SHINE for as darkness grows, so does the LIGHT within you if you are connected to ME!
How could those still unbelieving in their hearts portray correctly these end times. How could those who have no faith that My Spirit is all POWERFUL, have a correct vision of ME or understand My intentions ? Have you not seen, have you not heard ?
Isa 40
40 "Comfort, yes, comfort My people!" Says your God.
2 "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins."
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert* A highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth;
5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."
6 The voice said, "Cry out!" And he* said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."
9 O Zion, You who bring good tidings, Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, You who bring good tidings, Lift up your voice with strength, Lift it up, be not afraid; Say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" 10 Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand,And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.
11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters* in the hollow of His hand, Measured heaven with a span And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales And the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, Or as His counselor has taught Him? 14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, And taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, And showed Him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket, And are counted as the small dust on the scales; Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering. 17 All nations before Him are as nothing, And they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him? 19 The workman molds an image, The goldsmith overspreads it with gold, And the silversmith casts silver chains.
20 Whoever is too impoverished for such a contribution chooses a tree that will not rot; He seeks for himself a skillful workman to prepare a carved image that will not totter.
21 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 23 He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless.
24 Scarcely shall they be planted, Scarcely shall they be sown, Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, When He will also blow on them, And they will wither, And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.
25 "To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: "My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God"?
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
‘Am I so weak that I cannot take care of you ? Am I so impotent that I cannot make up for any loss ? Given that you should be content with clothes on your back, a place to live, and food in your stomach ? Where your heart is, there lies your treasure also. So think about all those who are losing their homes to floods, storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, and realize that the stripping will guarantee to expose what is important to you, the work of your hands, or ME. Do not worship what you can hold in your hands beloveds.
I told you there is a titanic for every system of man. What MAN can do will be brought to NOTHING, that MY POWER and strength can be made manifest ! They will bow to ME, or perish in trying to build their tower of babel. The Tower of Babel was all about PRIDE in what I CAN DO. ‘YES YOU CAN’, but I can do more, and I can do BETTER! I AM THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH ! I WAS HERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND WILL BE HERE LONG AFTER A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH COMES. WHO DO YOU THINK IS BRINGING THAT ? YOU OH MAN CAN DO NOTHING APART FROM ME. I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA. I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END, AND NO ONE WILL STOP MY AGENDA.”
Put ALL your trust in ME beloveds, for I care FOR you. I will fight beside you and uphold you till it is your turn to go home into My arms of Love. Be steadfast, stay close to ME and drink of MY PRESENCE. I am pouring into you all you need as you ask. You have not because you ask not. So ASK and it will be given you. “
