Unreliability

1 John 2:16-17 AMP    For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one's own resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].
17 And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever.

“There are some things in this world you can count on.  I am Reliable and I am FAITHFUL.  Change is inevitable.  Shifts in the earth is inevitable. Groanings /birthpangs are to be counted on.  I will SHAKE all that can be shaken. You can count on this.  I will care for My OWN. This you can count on.  The greatest harvest the earth has ever seen you can count on !   But there is little else on earth that you can count on so far as relying on.

There is unreliability to the systems of man and all man has built upon.  There is unreliability on weather patterns and all that man thinks he is in control of.  I WILL show MY superior power in the end.  Man thinks he is in control, but gradually he will be thrown into a great dilemma I like to call the Valley of Decision.  For escalation is upon you and there is NO holding back some things that are inevitable.    You can count on scripture being fulfilled.

You can count on MY LOVE & GLORY being poured out to harvest mankind for I am a GOD of GRACE and in this harvest I will give such revelation and there will be NO excuse for anyone to turn away from Me. Changes and more changes are coming. There will be a great shifting in your lives and in the life of the church and the world.  Get ready for CHANGE.  Change in alignments, changes in relationships, changes in lifestyle, changes in work, and ministry, changes in the marketplace.  ASK and I will answer. Seek and you will find.  I will prepare you if you but come aside and talk and ask of ME.  I will fill you with revelation.  It is the desire of My heart to have sweet communion with you.  You are in need of revelation for the times ahead are quickly changing.

Ask for WISDOM.  Wisdom is the thing, and understanding is what you need to get through this time.  I will pour out the seven fold Spirit of God like never before.  THERE WILL BE INCREASE for all Who love ME.  I will not withhold My hand from those who desire Me above all else.  I have been pruning in My garden and cutting back all that is not of ME…and that too is escalating into GREAT DELIVERANCE.  So stay your eyes upon ME My beloveds for I am doing a NEW THING.  Before it springs forth, have I not told you.  Mens hearts will fail for the astounding things that will come upon the earth !  PREPARE your hearts now,
by insulating your hearts IN ME.  BREATHE in My Holy Spirit !  Abide in MY presence that you can receive all I want to pour out.”

My thoughts went back suddenly then to a vision I had earlier tonight as I was praying of people in the upper room. I’d been reading someone else’s prophecy from January, and as I read one part I saw this…and the Lord I feel was again admonishing us that before Pentacost they were in the upper room MINISTERING TO THE LORD !   So that is where most of us are to be in preparation for what is coming.  Ministering to HIM through prayer and worship and abiding in the Word - in His presence !  That worship may take on a variety of forms…just sitting alone with Him, and watching the garden to washing the dishes listening to worship or whatever but abiding in HIS presence is so important right now.

Heb 12:28-29 AMP  Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;  29 For our God [is indeed] a consuming fire. [Deut 4:24.]

Feb 19th… He had said this as well:
Necessary changes are happening in alignments because of changes in assignments.  This is not just for you, but for many others. There will be order to what now seems chaotic and scattered.  There will be changes in all those who belong to me.  Changes for the better.  Changes in friends, changes in family, changes in the church, changes in the marketplace, changes in the nations of leadership.  I will give dominion to My beloveds…as the time ensues into the end.  There is much work to be done, and there has to be agreement in those you are aligned with.  Be careful of those who want to control you for their own sake.
