Prayer: For Healing Damaged Emotions

A prayer for healing damaged emotions [See * Book reference below...]

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to you with a feeling of shame and emotional hurt. I confess my transgressions to you [continuously unfolding the past to all is told]. You are faithful in just to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. You are my Hiding Place, and You, Lord, preserved me from trouble. You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. I have chosen life. According to your word, you saw me while I was being formed in my mother's womb, and on the authority of Your Word, I was wonderfully made. Now I am your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus

Father, You have delivered me from the spirit of fear, and I shall not be ashamed. Neither shall I be confounded and depressed. You gave me beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that I might be a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that You might be glorified. I speak out in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, offering praise with my voice and making melody with all my heart to the Lord. Just as David did in 1 Samuel 30:6,  I encourage myself in the Lord.

I believe in God Who raised from the dead Jesus, Who was betrayed and put to death because of my misdeeds and was raised to secure my acquittal, absolving me from all guilt before God. Father, you annointed Jesus in sent him to bind up and heal my broken heart and liberate me from the shame of my youth in the imperfections of my caretakers. In the name of Jesus, I choose to forgive all those who have wronged me in anyway. You will not leave me without support as I complete the forgiveness process. I take comfort and am encouraged and confidently say, "The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm. What can man do to me?

My spirit is the candle of the Lord searching all the innermost parts of my being, and the Holy Spirit leads me into all truth. When realities exposes shame and emotional pain, I remember that the sufferings of this present life are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to me and for me and conferred on me!  The chastisement needed to obtain my peace and well being was upon Jesus, and with the stripes that wounded Him, I was healed and made whole. As your child, Father, I have a joyful in confident hope of eternal salvation. This hope will never disappoint, delude, or shame me, for God's love has been poured out in my heart through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to me . 

In his name I pray, Amen

Prophetic Word: An Open Door: November 11, 2020

 November 11, 2020

Prophetic Word: Betty & Sharron:

You need to know that the door has been opened for my church and my people - an evaluation is underway right now that I have seen in these past four years of my people, those that have sought me prayerfully. Those that have been on their face and knees and have diligently prayed and submitted themselves in prayer, seeking me with all their hearts, minds and being.  I am getting ready to reveal the sons of God, those that I am coming after.  My presence in their lives is going to become noticeably clear in the face of the darkness that is coming upon you right now. 

There is such a tremendous force of hell breaking out against my church right now and they are not ready, they are not ready to fight the battle – they do not even believe it is coming.  They think that their life as usual is going to continue, no matter who is elected president.  What they do not realize is that this is the last world regime that is being put into place, the props have been placed on the chess board– the pieces have been put into place and the only reason that they have not begun to move right now is because I am hindering them.  I am hindering them through my people, the restrainer, my restrainer in my people – the Gideon’s army, my spiritual Green Beret’s that has been mentioned previously. I am building my army and they are a powerful army.  I do not have to have billions and billions of people that are caught up in this world that love their life in this world, that do not have their treasure in heaven.  I am moving among those people that have their heart set upon me and my return, and those that are being still and knowing that I am God and having done all, standing upon my promises and my word.  They are watching and waiting for me prayerfully.  Those are the ones that I am beginning to manifest myself to and through.  I am raising a mighty army and I am gathering in the harvest. Just because you do not see it in your country does not mean that it is not being gathered.  It is being gathered and it is being gathered with swiftness because the enemy is waiting upon the final curtain to rise for his final act to begin very shortly.  I am gathering in the harvest and everyone that seeks me will find me.  Just know that you must trust in me with all your heart, to lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways all you need to do is acknowledge me and I will direct your path day by day – you need to deny yourself, take up the cross daily and follow me.

 SCRIPTURES:

[Luke 9:23 KJV] 23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

[Luk 9:23 KJV] 23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

[Jdg 7:2, 4-5, 7 KJV] 2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. ... 4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.  7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the [other] people go every man unto his place.

[Rev 3:8 KJV] 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

[Mat 24:38 KJV] 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

[Mat 24:38 KJV] 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

[Luk 12:34 KJV] 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

[Rom 8:19 KJV] 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

[1Jo 3:2 KJV] 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

[Pro 3:5-6 KJV] 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Prayer: Grace for Purpose, A prayer for protection against evil plans

The following was transcribed from a YouTube video: Grace for Purpose Prayers: A prayer for protection against evil plans, November 16, 2020 (link at end of this blogg.)

Spiritual warfare is a conflict, a war that is being waged in the invisible spiritual realm.  And the thing about this kind of battle is although its fought in the spiritual realm, it often manifests in the visible, physical realm.  This is why the apostle Paul wrote our struggle is not against flesh and blood, and its true, it's not against the things of this world. As a believer, your not fighting people, your not just fighting circumstances, no, your fighting the spirit behind the person, the devil behind the situation .  Our struggle is not against flesh and blood But against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. But here is what we are doing today, we're going to pray for victory in all areas of our life, believe that God will break every plan of the enemy. Trust that the Lord will have the final say in all matters concerning you, your protection, the conflicts you face, the battles you face. The Lord has the final say over all of that, through faith, through worship, and through prayer. We are protected from evil forces and more then just that, we have victory, and with that understanding, let us pray....

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, I look to you today concerning all things. I honor and reverance your Holy name today. Only you deserve the glory, only you deserve my praise and honor. My prayer today Lord is that you fight for me, fight my battles Lord. I believe that every setback from the enemy will be a setup to be a blessing for me in Jesus name. In you Father, I find strength, the strength and protection needed for every battle we face in this life. When I look back over my life Lord, you have been faithful. 

You have saved me and kept me from everything that has come to hurt me. I am still here , able to lift my voice, to lift my hands and thank you for your kindness and protection. Its because of you Lord Jesus that I have survived every attack from the devil which was intended to hurt me. I rebuke , cancel and destroy every assignment, every plot and every attack of the enemy over my life, and over my families life. 

I pray Lord that the blood of Jesus Christ over my life will cancel every curse and every negative word that has ever been spoken over my life. Your Word says from Psalms 34:7 that the angel of the Lord encamps around those that fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. And so I pray that may your angels encamp around me. May you deliver me from all of my struggles. Deliver me from every stronghold, everything that seeks to stop my spiritual growth. Deliver me emotionally, physically and spiritually from all the enemy's attacks. Your Word says the Lord is faithful and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. I praise you for your word and its promise, the promise to protect me from the evil one, protect me from all the traps he set. Protect me from all of the schemes of the devil. 

You are faithful God. In the name of Jesus, there is no weapon forged against me that will prosper. In the name of Jesus I refute every tongue that speaks evil against me. Father, everything that seeks to disturb the peace in my mind, everything that seeks to destroy the peace in my spirit I ask today Lord that you remove it let it be placed far away from me. Protect my peace of mind Jesus. Protect the peace within my soul, Lord. Father, when life presents me with situations and decisions that are difficult and complicated, will you give me the grace to overcome, the strength to overcome. 

Give me the faith to turn to you for guidence and the power for me to let faith reign instead of fear. Help me to overcome feelings of confusion and worry and instead give me assurance, the belief that no weapon formed against me will prosper. I pray Lord, that when the enemy tries to crowd my mind with fear and anxiety,  when he tries to overwhelm me with burdens, may you be my load bearer.  May you be my resting place Lord Jesus.  May you block everything that can bring me down into a state of depression, a state of anxioty, may you be my rescue Lord and help me not to surcomb to the tricks of the enemy. I reject the devil's attacks. I reject his schemes in the name of Jesus.  I will stand on your word that says II Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom. 

Lord, you are my hiding place and I know that under your wings I will always find safety. I can always find refuge. May you protect me always from trouble where ever I go. Keep evil far from me and my family. I speak the blood of Jesus to cover me, to surround my home. I ask that your presence be with me. May it be within me and behind me. 

Father, order my steps and lead me. Go before me Jehovah and be beside me. 

I want to thank you for your goodness and your mercy upon my life.  I thank you Lord for being in my life. You are the Lord God Almighty, the Great I AM. I say that you are my refuge, you are the chief cornerstone and I choose trust in the true and living God. You provide me with the shelter from life's storms, from life's difficulties. I speak the blood of Jesus upon each and every member of my family, for protection and preservation of life. I decree and declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against me and my loved ones. Lord, I commit myself and my family into your hands in the name of Jesus. I apply blood of Jesus upon each and every door post of my home. Upon each and every window post of my home, for protection in the name of Jesus Christ.  May your pillar of fire be seen where my family and I abide every night. Lord, you have said you will not allow sickness and disease to come near me. I therefore declare that sickness and disease are far from me. I pray that you protect me and my family from everything that we cannot see that tries to harm us. No demon from hell, no unclean spirit, no generational curses, no misfortune will touch me or my family because of you God. I pray you will protect me and my loved ones, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the name that was given power above all names. 

Your Word in Psalms 91 says you will protect me from the terror by night, the arrow that flies by day and I receive that promise. I believe that you are faithful to your word. God, give me the faith of Mose so  that when you speak to me and call me to do your work, or when the time comes for me to step into my destiny calling, help me not to doubt. Give me the faith to step out and walk on water. When my mind says:"you can't do that" or you will never succeed at that, I pray for bold faith that will push back and say, with God, all things are possible. Give me the measure of faith that truly believes that you are the God of I AM and you will make a way for me when there seems to be no way. 

Lord I pray for a heart of worship like David. I too want to chase after your heart. I too want to worship you in spirit and in truth. Dear God, give me the boldness of the three Hebrew boys, the boldness to remove every idol in my life, the boldness to refuse to bow down to anything and everything that tries to take your place in my life. Father I pray, may you increase in my life, as I decrease. I bless your Holy name, thank you for hearing my prayer, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Dream: Chrislam Dream: November 1, 2020

 I had a dream November 1st about chrislam or the CO existence of believers that I felt the need to share,  (which I did with our prayer team Sunday morning before service). So here is the dream...  

I saw a long bench where many people were seated which reminded me of a baseball game where players were seated waiting to be put in the game. I was standing alone and seemed to have understanding and knowledge of the 1st group of several girls that I saw that claimed to be believers... Christians. They were talking about how they believed in Jesus Christ, Yahshua, and  I began to address this group of girls when suddenly this energy - spiritual energy begin to flow, empower me! As I addressed this group of girls, I seemed to know what was on the inside of them was not matching what was on the outside. I begin to tell them that their fruits were not what the Bible described, that you would know a tree by its fruit. I boldly proclaimed that they were not living what Christ expected... you must deny yourself, take up your cross and follow him. If not you are not fit for his kingdom. Jesus himself says this and that with their lips they honor me but their heart is far from me. 

Seated next to them was a group of Muslims and their spokesman said, pointing at this group of Christians, Our god, Allah is their god, our god is the same as this group. A new level of anointing hit me and I began to boldly tell them their God was not Jesus Christ... my God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, but was the moon god, Satan, the god of this world. I started exposing who they were really worshipping, when a group next to them started speaking. This group was like a group of all the other, so called "gods". It was as if they were like a parentheses group or a bracketed group representing all of the other miscellaneous groups gods.  I recall a Hindu lady saying: our "many gods" are the same as all of their gods, their gods are also our gods, we are all one. 

Then a Buddhist lady spoke up and said: "Budda is our God, the Hindu god, the god of the muslims... Allah, and this Christian groups god, we are all one, united together. This statement seemed to be what the whole group on this bench felt and they were of one mind it seemed, united.  Suddenly the Spirit of the Lord took over, that reminded me of Jesus overthrowing the money changers tables at the temple... "the zeal of mine house hath eaten me up" came to mind as I began in Genesis to Revelation proclaiming the names of my God and that you all are deceived, as you worship the god of this world, and that my God was the Great I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end, Jesus Christ... Yeshua,  the son of the living God. I began to loudly proclaim every name in the Bible starting at Genesis and ending on Revelation, and woke up in the middle of doing this.

 Sunday morning our preacher Grant Cole mentioned this in his sermon.  It was like a warning of what was started in times past, is now escalating at tremendous speeds. Study to show yourselves approved so that you might give an answer to them that asks.  

SCRIPTURES:

1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Acts 2: 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Galatians 5:22 KJV — But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

1 Peter 3:15 KJV — But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Luke 9:23 KJV — And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Psalm 69:9 KJV — For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Matthew 12:25 KJV — And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Isaiah 29:13 KJV — Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Matthew 15:8 KJV — This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 7:23 KJV — And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 22:32 KJV — I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

1 Kings 18:25 KJV — And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 

38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

Prophetic Word: September 7, 2020 - Many are called, but few are chosen...Gideon's Army!

 

September 7, 2020

Prophetic word: Betty and Sharron

The Lord spoke this during a time of prayer with two sisters: Do you not recall the army of Gideon when he had started out with thousands and I selected three hundred out of the thousands.  Some were tied down by their families, some by their jobs, and their fear – they were caught up in their fears to face the armies.  I got it down to three hundred men that won the battle against many.  This is what you need to realize as you go forward and the times increase; troublesome times are increasing faster then you can keep up with what is happening.  I am telling you that it is getting worse – you need to be prepared because it is escalating and it is escalating like a jet taking off on full power – liftoff is taking place and you need to realize this, and I’ve got my army and it might look like its small but I want you to know it is powerful.

 

Mat 24:21 KJV - For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Rev 2:22 KJV - Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Rev 7:14 KJV - And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Jdg 6:29 KJV - And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

Jdg 6:34 KJV - But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

Jdg 6:36 KJV - And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

Jdg 6:39 KJV - And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

Jdg 7:2 KJV - And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

Jdg 7:4 KJV - And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

Jdg 7:5 KJV - So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.

Jdg 7:7 KJV - And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the [other] people go every man unto his place.

Jdg 7:15 KJV - And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

Prophetic Word: August 28, 2020 - Body of Christ/Preparations underway!

 August 28, 2020 [Updated January 10, 2021]

Prophecy: Betty and Sharron

Note: Sunday morning, January 10, 2021 again, the Holy Spirit gave me a vision of winnowing and separating wheat from chaff. I felt the Lord say he was in process of winnowing within his church. I felt I was to define and research this winnowing process for your prayerful consideration.  I believe this winnowing process will reveal the wolves in sheep's clothing among us, posing as part of the body of Christ. It will also prepare the true believers for his return and the harvest. Below is the added Winnowing & Threshing description, for your consideration.

I am preparing the body of Christ to be part of the harvest and that they have things that are hindering their lives – holding them back, they’ve got chains on them.  They are like Peter and Paul when they were in prison.  I had to send an angel to set them free so that they could go and follow my assignments that I had for them.  My church has chains about them. 

I am separating the wheat from the chaff, they have chaff on them, they have not been separated yet so that they can be gathered into my barn.  I am getting ready to use them.  I’m using everyone that will free their heart and free their lives from holds that Satan has on them, unforgiveness, bitterness, and hard feelings.  They think that they have forgiven but still have bitterness in their hearts and the air is not clear between them.  It is written that if you had ought against your brother that you needed to go and be reconciled with your brother before the sun sets.  You should leave your gift on the alter and not even give me your gifts until you have gotten rid of the unforgiveness, bitterness or the hard feelings that you have.  Many of my people have hard feelings towards people and they don’t even know it.  They are blind to these things and these are hindrances or entrances that the enemy has gained. 

They have covetousness in their hearts – they covet the things of this world when I said to come out from among them and be separate, because you are getting ready to take occupation in heaven…you do not need these worldly things.  You need to begin to let go of this world’s things because I have made a place for you and you are not taking any of it with you.  You are only taking people with you – realize this, know this. 

The time is short, the time is at hand.  My Father is ready to call my bride home and I am getting ready to take her to the place that I have joyfully, for two thousand years, prepared for her.  I look forward to the day when I can have her in my arms and I can have her in my presence for eternity, and no one can touch or take them out of my hand.  That day is coming and it is coming soon, and I am looking forward to it.  You need to get ready, my people.  Get ready, the harvest is truly ripe but you are not!

Winnowing & Threshing

Wheat from Chaff defined (Part of update added )

Note: `Chaff' refers to the outer covers of wheat or other cereal which are separated from the grain by a process called winnowing. In the Bible (Matthew 3:12; Luke 3:17), John the Baptist uses the image of someone separating the wheat from the chaff to describe how Jesus will separate those who go to heaven from those who go to hell.

Chaff is the outer part of grain such as wheat. It is removed before the grain is used as food.  If you separate the wheat from the chaff or sort the wheat from the chaff, you decide which people or things in a group are good or important and which are not.

For many decades the “wheat” and the “chaff” have been able to remain together, the differences between the two being there, but not pronounced enough to create any major divisions between them. Now, the divide between the “wheat” and the “chaff” is becoming ever more distinct and obvious. Those who are committed to Christ, committed to living "righteously", and committed to seeing an actual, pure and undefiled move of the Holy Spirit are being gathered by Christ and set apart unto His current-day work. Those who are okay with compromise, willing to follow the “latest and greatest” trend”, who seek what the world is offering, and those within the American church who use the tools and strategies of the world in an attempt to advance the Kingdom of God, are likewise being gathered, but gathered unto judgment.

Now, more than ever before, the lines of separation are being drawn. God is purifying His church here in this country. He is revealing people’s hearts. As he does this, a separating similar to what is seen in Matthew 3:12 is occurring right before our eyes. God is not finished working in our nation, but He will not use a compromised church. God does not use the compromised, sinful, or egotistical to display His power or conduct a move of His spirit. There are those in the church that are compromising and yet experience “success.”  However, this “success” can only be called success if it is judged by the world’s standards. True success occurs when the Spirit of God is at work. Not merely when a church’s numbers grow or their buildings become bigger.

Because the Holy Spirit seeks to move through His church here in this country, a separating of the wheat and the chaff must first take place.

The interesting thing about separation is that it is another word for sanctification. What better analogy is there to describe sanctification in the life of the believer than the image of Christ removing the chaff, i.e. the garbage, the useless, the worthless that is in the life of the believer.

As God is bringing separation into the American church as a whole, He also seeks to separate the wheat from the chaff in individual’s lives. Many us of have lived with things inside of us that God would deem as “chaff”. As individual believers we must submit to God’s process of sanctification. As God sanctifies the believer individually, He removes the “chaff.” This is a necessary process to be prepared for the work of God in our individual lives which will then in turn enable us to be prepared to play the role He calls us to in His body.

So, though Matthew 3:12 can be argued to have eschatological meaning, it is clear that it has applications to the current state of the church in America and God’s desire to sanctify His people not only corporately but also individually.

Prophetic Word: August 26, 2020, I am walking throughout the earth, seeking those watching for my return!

August 26, 2020

Prophetic Word: Betty & Sharron 

I am in control of all these situations that you see happening on the earth.  I am walking among you – just like I walked, came down before Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed and I personally came down to see if the reports that I was receiving were true, before I brought destruction.  The destruction that I am witnessing, the lukewarm state of the body of Christ is truly astounding to me, in light of the freedom that they have had to the word over the airwaves, the word in their stores – every store, you can buy a bible, and it is number one, but these bibles are lying on shelves as people go and listen and they tickle their ears as they seek the ones giving a message they want to hear.  The ones that I’m speaking through that might bring change in their lives and change in their hearts they turn off and they don’t want to hear these messages. 

 I am walking among the people and I see those people truly bowed down on their face before me, seeking me with all their hearts, like Job did.  I am allowing this chaos to happen – I am not behind it but I am allowing it.  I allowed the chaos to happen in Job’s life.  I wasn’t behind the destruction that was allowed to happen to him, but I did give him back a double portion when he stood for me, when he stood through everything. When his time of testing took place, I was there for him and I gave him back twice as much as he had before.  I am doing the same thing for everyone who has a heart for me, I am using this chaos, I am using the trouble that the world is going through right now and I am searching people’s hearts through it. 

I am looking to see the real fruit, the real tares, and the real wheat.  The wheat I am getting ready to gather into my barn, but the tares are going to be cast into bundles and they are going to be burned.  They are going to go through a great, great tribulation like the world has never seen or been told.  It’s just been told the outline, but they have no idea the trouble that is getting ready to be unfolded on this earth and out of my mercy I am allowing this to happen.  My mercy has allowed this chaos to happen for the harvest, because the harvest is the most important thing and the laborers are so few.  There are so few that have a boldness to speak my name and my message in my heart and that will separate themselves from the world.  My people aren’t willing to come out from among them and be separate, but that is what I need them to do.  I need them to come out from among them and be separate – then they will find me and I will inhabit them and inhabit their praise.  They will rise up as a powerful weapon because the gates of hell will not stand against my church.  I have been given the keys to death and hell and they will not stand against my church and those that rise up in my name – I will empower them.
