The Summer of My Discontent

“This is the summer of MY discontent.  I am very discontented with the nations who rage against Me and My own.  I am not impotent as so many of even My own children think.  I WILL display My power as never before through My people.  How hungry are you for ME?  How much time do you want with ME?  I’m not aloof to your problems nor neglectful as a Father and Husbandman.

John 15:1-5 KJV   I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.  3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

I AM the LIGHT of the World and there is nothing that I am unaware of. There are many, so many that have never been healed and are walking wounded.  The church has been so decimated by wars, and lack of truth within that it has often been powerless to help those that need them.  But that will not be as the days of MY GLORY ensue.
If any man be IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION.  I came to bring LIFE, not death, not condemnation and guilt.  I came to assuage guilt and condemnation.  Yet so many of you stay abiding under harsh taskmasters.  Why do you think I would want you to be controlled by man when I, your Father and Husbandman, do not even CONTROL you ?

I had then an impression of bodies lying in the streets, as if decimated by war.

I WILL RESUSCITATE MY BRIDE!  I know the pain and sorrow of seeing over and over the enemy winning in many issues of people’s lives.  I know how the seeing of such terrible tragedies has torn at your heart and you must know it is tearing at MINE !
I have allowed hunger to grow. I have allowed thirst to grow that you would CRY OUT for ME - That you would remember your FIRST LOVE. CRY OUT NOW FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT FIRE TO COME AND FILL MY OWN – to TRANSFORM THE CHURCH, TO DESTROY THE CHAINS THAT BIND.  Pray for MIRACLES, SIGNS and WONDERS to follow the preaching of the gospel, to follow the testimony of believers.
THAT is after all how I brought life to people.  I healed the sick, I cast out demons,
I DEMONSTRATED MY KINGDOM.”

Luke 17:20-21 NKJV Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;  21 nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 11:20 NKJV    But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 

Luke 12:31-34 NKJV  But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.  34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Acts 19:11-13 NKJV   Miracles Glorify Christ  -  Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

“ My heart is not aloof to the suffering of man.  Those who have MY HEART will also not be aloof to the sufferings of others.  I came to bring LIFE. That is why you have the HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU !  It is to give LIFE to the world, to BE life to the world. It is NOT just to have a party for yourself, though I love your company, I give you MY LIFE so that you will SHARE it with others.  I said to make DISCIPLES of men.
That means those who have My life are to be sharing it and multiplying what is in them that those they birth in the spirit will also give life to others.  Thus the body of My church grows and grows.

RELIGION and the traditions of men is stifling the growth in MY church. Men lifting up their names rather than MINE, is stifling the growth in My church.  APATHY, and complacency, greed and jealousy are stifling the growth of My true church.  I told My disciples to GO FORTH into the nations and make disciples of all men.  They waited on ME to receive power from on high, but once they got it, they WENT FORTH to make disciples.   As I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT THIS TIME, KNOW THAT IT IS TO BE SHARED WITH THE POOR, THE DESTITUTE, THE HUNGRY, THE DRUG ADDICT WHO HAS NEVER GOTTEN LOVE, THE ALCOHOLIC WHOSE CURSES HAVE NEVER BEEN BROKEN, THE HOMELESS AND THE HARLOT, THE UNBELIEVING AND THE DOUBTFUL, THE WITCH AND THE WARLOCK. 

THERE WILL BE NO MORE FEAR WHEN THIS ANOINTING COMES, FOR THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT WILL COME UPON YOU AND THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE AND REVELATION.  YOU WILL NOT LACK ANY GOOD THING IF YOU ONLY ASK AND STAY CLOSE TO MY HEART!

GET OUT OF THE PEW AND TAKE IT TO THE STREETS.  MEN WILL COME INTO THE CHURCH IN COMING DAYS TO BRING MURDER AND MAYHEM. YOU WILL HAVE TO MEET UNDERGROUND.  YOU THINK YOU HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH REJECTION, BUT HOW WILL YOU HANDLE THE PERSECUTION COMING UNLESS YOU CLING TO ME ?  REACH OUT NOW WITH LOVE, THE HARVEST IS WHITE BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW. PRAY TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST TO EMPOWER THE WORKERS.  STORE UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN BY REACHING OUT TO A NEIGHBOR, REACHING OUT TO THE LADY IN THE GROCERY STORE.

DO NOT LET THE ENEMY SHUT YOUR MOUTH ANY LONGER.  BE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND INNOCENT AS DOVES.  SPEAK WHEN I TELL YOU TO SPEAK. BE VERY DEPENDENT ON ME.  I WILL REVEAL ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. FEAR NOT FOR I AM WITH YOU, IN YOU, AROUND YOU, EVERYWHERE YOU GO. USE THE AUTHORITY I HAVE GIVEN YOU!”
