Mera helanden i Stockholm

Från Bill Johnsons blogg:

Stockholm, Sweden

TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008

Our last night in Sweden as we finished the meeting on time in the Cathedral, we didn`t have time to pray for the sick. So as we reached the 9:30 pm deadline, we ushered everyone out of the building into the square down the street to receive prayer. It was a shocking response. Many people lingered and the night was a little cool as we all walked down the cobblestone road to the open square. At the cafe´s on the edges we could see people enjoying their meals and curiously looking on at this instant mob that just showed up. We spent the next hour and a half praying for those who were desperate for a breakthrough in their bodies. We saw some incredible miracles and would hear cheering erupt when a breakthrough was received.

Så kan det gå till i Storkyrkan, Stockholm‏

Går man in i Stockholms Storkyrka en vardag kväll kanske man tänker sig en stilla orgelandakt tillsammans med ett antal turister. I lugn och ro.

Torsdagen 24 april 2008 hamnade jag i denna kyrka. Efter en inledning med koraler och lovsång talade Bill Johnson och berättade om karismatiska möten på snabbköp och flygplan, där mängder av människor blivit övernaturligt helade, och snabbköp och flygplan förvandlats till platser förlånga helandemöten.

Han berättade att han under tio års tid haft en önskan att komma till Sverige och att det nu äntligen blivit verklighet.

Han sa att han inte var där för att be för sjuka utan för att lära de kristna i Sverige att själva be för helande av sjuka. Han poängterade att Jesus sa att vi skulle göra hans gärningar, att vi skulle bota de sjuka. Han var fullt medveten om att vi alla, och även han själv, tänker oss att vi ber och att Gud helar. Ändå sa Jesus att vi skulle göra det.

Sen blev det ännu svårare, i Storkyrkan av alla platser. Han uppmanade alla som hade problem med höfter, broskbildningar, benbesvär och även cancer att ge sig till känna. Så skedde. Då skulle vi som var i närheten be för dessa. Testen blev sedan hur många som upplevde förbättring att ge sig till känna. Inte alla men många upplevde klar förbättring.

För den som i gammal god svensk stil har varit van vid att enligt jante-lagen ta det *väldigt lugnt* kändes det lite jobbigt. Men värre blev det.

Medlemmar från teamet fick i tur och ordning berätta om vilka sjukdomar som någon hade i lokalen. Det kunde vara en skada efter en olycka eller ryggont eller cancer. Vid varje kunskapsord fanns det någon eller några som gav sig till känna. Han uppmanade också de som kände någon med en sjukdom att via mobilen ringa denna, mitt under mötet. Sedan fick vi, inte han, be för alla dem som gett sig till känna. Efteråt ville han att de som visste att de blivit helade skulle räcka upp handen. Händer räcktes upp på många platser.

Ja, så kan det gå till i Storkyrkan i Stockholm.

Hälsningar Torsten

"Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is My Son, whom I love. LISTEN to Him!" SUDDENLY, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus." Mark 9:7-8

My Faithful Ones, I have marked your heart, I have lead you in a path unfamiliar to you ... a path reserved for those who have cried out to ME and said "Here am I, use me" - a path reserved for those who have said yes to My call. This path has not been an easy one, but one of preparation and training. A path that has fine-tuned the fruits of the spirit in you and has been making you ready. Even now some are beginning to despise this path but I say unto you "do not" despise this path but praise Me for it as you have received a wealth that could not have been received in any other way! Yes, you have been pressed on all sides but through it all I have prepared you for what is to come. My Glorious Beloved, you are truly blessed above measure!!!

My Faithful Ones, hear the word of the Lord. I am taking you out of your places of obscurity and will 'place you to proclaim' the riches of the truths of the Kingdom of God. You have been faithful with the little and now it is time for you to be given more.

I have nurtured and wooed you, I have set aside that which only you can fulfill. I have protected you and covered you with My feathers. You are My Chosen and no-one can fulfill your calling as it is your calling. You are all different but you shall all work together, for I AM a God of order. I have been your instructor and I will continue to be your instructor and will lead you and guide you in these last days. Take advantage of the days set before you for each day has been set by Me as they have been set in the past.

Haven't I said Seek you first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness? You have sought Me and My righteousness is upon you that you may go forth in My Name. There is no time to put off or to tarry on those things I have instructed you. The "suddenly's" are happening. The time has come and the now is for those I have called to come forth. Seek me continuously and the way will be made manifest to you. This is the time to diligently seek My face and instructions will come forth from My lips. Have I not said it, have I not proclaimed it to you? I have sent forth a proclamation on your behalf and it has been sealed with My signet ring, therefore it MUST be done. I have called forth My messengers and decreed all that I have proclaimed and all that I have declared on your behalf and it shall come to pass and be accomplished. Delays have come to an end in My timetable and My Word will be made manifest in ALL ways. Many will be troubled on all sides in the days to come but My Glorious Beloved will stand and My Glory will fill the earth even in the midst of judgment.

The day you have waited for is dawning, it is drawing near. You have waited and waited - now see Me accomplish what seems un-accomplishable. It is from My hand, the giver of all good things! Eye has not seen .... Ear has not heard .... the wonders which I have for you. Wonders that I, your Father and your God has hand picked for each of you. I have been bringing revelation to you as such as not been heard before. I have chosen you and I have prepared you...do not let one morsel slip by or through your fingers. You are chosen and favored by ME....if you could only perceive or realize the Love that I have for you....if you did, then you would know without a doubt that I WILL do and accomplish all I have promised you. Do not give up, continue to be in a state of readiness for you shall ride! I cannot promise the road will be free of thorns or thistles and rocks but I can promise you the ride of your life!

The call is going forth, the shofar is being blown to call My chosen ones together. You are being called to formation, as of an army. Called to assemble, called to listen diligently to your commander in chief. My white horse company standing at attention and at the ready. The stage has been set for the greatest show ever seen to begin. Great and Mighty is the Lord your God and I AM doing great and mighty acts and I AM about to display even greater than any of you could ask or think. Watch as the book of ACTS is played out in these last days. I call you faithful, I call you My very own chosen. Now .... Listen, My Chosen Ones, Listen! Listen very closely.... Listen for surely it comes and suddenly!!!! LISTEN!!!!

Jag ger och jag tar

I Give and Take Away

Children, I do give and I do take away. Indeed there is about to be a great subtraction upon this land. But know that I will never take My blessings away from those that know and keep My commandments. I love you. Do not fear what is happening in your land. You are under My grace,which I will not remove from you.

Vaka och be

"The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos; the church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray."

En allvarlig profetisk varning!

Det här är ett mycket aktuellt budskap trots att det togs emot redan 1965, inte minst med tanke på vad som händer i svensk kristenhet idag. Radikala kristna som tidigare brunnit för Jesus och människors frälsning lämnar, som det tycks, helt oförklarligt den smala vägen för att fokusera på helt andra saker. Detta profetiska tilltal förklarar vad det är som sker just nu och vi måste förenas i bön om andlig klarsyn både för våra syskon och för oss själva så vi inte går vilse!!

Herre, hjälp oss höra detta budskap på rätt sätt och ta det till oss. Låt det få landa i våra hjärtan och få konsekvenser i våra liv! I Jesu namn, amen!

Matt.24:5-6
5 Ty många skall komma i mitt namn och säga: Jag är Messias, och de skall leda många vilse. 6 Ni kommer att höra stridslarm och rykten om krig. Se då till att ni inte blir skrämda. Ty detta måste hända, men därmed har slutet ännu inte kommit.

SOLEMN PROPHETIC WARNING
Prophecy by Stanley Frodsham 1965

It is written: "Despise not prophesying. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good" (I Thessalonians 5.-20,21 KIV). The following are excerpts from prophetic words given to one who was under a heavy anointing. We believe all who read these solemn prophetic warnings should take diligent heed to them. "Believe in the Lord your God, so ye shall be established,- believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper" (II Chronicles 20.-20 KIV).

Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard My gospel but no longer walk in it. My wrath shall be manifested against all ungodliness. It shall come with great intensity. My judgments are literal, and not a thing to be lightly passed over.

Before I visit the nations in judgment, I will begin at My house. When I do cause My wrath to come upon the cities of the world, My people shall be separate. I desire a people without spot or wrinkle, and such shall be preserved by Me in the time of My wrath coming upon all iniquity and unrighteousness.

I am going to prepare you for the coming days by a hard path that will cause you to cry out continually unto Me. For when the going is easy, men do not seek Me, but rejoice in a temporary blessing. And when that blessing is removed, they so often turn this way and that way, but do not come to Me. I am showing you these things that you may seek Me continually and with great diligence. As you seek Me, I will open up truths to you that you have not seen before, truths that will enable you to stand in the last days.

Coming Glory and Deceiving Spirits
When I visit My people in mighty revival power it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the glory shall come great darkness, for the glory is to prepare My people for the darkness. I will enable My people to go through because of the visitation of My Spirit. Take heed to yourselves lest ye be puffed up and think that you have arrived. Listen to the messengers, but do not hold man's persons in admiration.

For many whom I shall anoint mightily with signs and miracles shall become lifted up and shall fall by the wayside. I do not do this willingly; I have made provision that they might stand. I call many into this ministry and equip them, but remember that many shall fall. They shall be like bright lights, and the people shall delight in them. But they shall be taken over by deceiving spirits, and shall lead many of My people astray.

Hearken diligently concerning these things, for in the last days shall come seducing spirits 0 Timothy 4:1) that shall turn many of My anointed ones away. Many shall fall through divers lusts and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently I will put My Spirit within you (Ezekiel 36:27). When one shall turn to the right hand or to the left hand, you shall not turn with them, but keep your eyes wholly on the Lord.

The coming days are the most dangerous, difficult and dark, but there shall be a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon many cities; and many shall be destroyed. My people must be diligently warned concerning the days that are ahead. Many shall turn after seducing spirits; many are already seducing My people. It is those who do righteousness that are righteous. Many cover sins by great theological words, but I warn you of seducing spirits who instruct My people in an evil way.

Many shall come with seducing spirits and hold out lustful enticements. You will find that after I have visited My people again, the way shall become more and more narrow, and fewer shall walk therein. But, be not deceived, the ways of righteousness are My ways. For though Satan come as an angel of light (II Corinthians 11:13-15), hearken not to him; for those who perform miracles and speak not righteousness are not of Me.

I warn you with great intensity that I am going to judge My house and have a church without spot or wrinkle when I come. I desire to open your eyes and give you spiritual understanding that you may not be deceived, but may walk in uprightness of heart before Me, loving righteousness and hating every evil way. Look unto Me, and l, will make you to perceive with the eyes of the Spirit the things that lurk in darkness, that are not visible to the human eye.

Let Me lead you in this way that you may perceive the powers of darkness and battle against them. It is not a battle against flesh and blood, for if you battle in that way, you accomplish nothing. But if you let Me take over and battle against the powers of darkness, then they are defeated; and then liberation is brought to My people.

The Way of Deceivers
I warn you to search the Scriptures diligently concerning these last days, for the things that are written shall indeed be made manifest. There shall come deceivers among My people in increasing number, who shall speak forth the truth and shall gain the favor of the people, for the people shall examine the Scriptures and say, "What these men say is true."

Then when they have gained the hearts of the people, then and then only shall they bring out these wrong doctrines. Therefore, I say that you should not give your hearts to men, nor hold people's persons in admiration. For by these very persons shall Satan enter into My people. Watch for seducers (1 Timothy 3:13). Do you think a seducer will brandish a new heresy and flaunt it before the people?

He will speak the words of righteousness and truth and will appear as a minister of light, declaring the Word. The people's hearts shall be won; they will bring out their doctrines, and the people shall be deceived. The people shall say, "Did he not speak thus and thus? And did we not examine it from the Word? Therefore he is a minister of righteousness. That he has now spoken we do not see in the Word, but it must be right, for the other things he spoke were true."

Be not deceived, for the deceiver will first work to gain the hearts of many and then shall bring forth his insidious doctrines. You cannot discern those who are of Me and those who are not of Me when they start to preach. But seek Me constantly, and then when these doctrines are brought out, you shall have a witness in your heart that these are not of Me. Fear not, for I have warned you.

Many will be deceived, but if you walk in holiness and uprightness before the Lord, your eyes shall be opened, and the Lord will protect you. If you will constantly look unto the Lord, you will know when the doctrine changes, and you will not be brought into it. If your heart is right, I will keep you, and if you will look constantly to Me, I will uphold you.

The minister of righteousness shall be on this wise: his life shall agree with the Word, and his lips shall give forth that which is wholly true, and it will be no mixture. When the mixture appears, then you will know he is not a minister of righteousness. The deceivers speak first the truth and then error to cover their own sins, which they love. Therefore, I exhort and command you to study the Scriptures relative to seducing spirits, for this is one of the great dangers of these last days.

I desire you to be firmly established in My Word, and not in the personalities of men, that you will not be moved as so many shall be moved. I would keep you in the paths of righteousness. Take heed to yourselves, and follow not the seducing spirits that are already manifesting themselves.

Diligently inquire of Me when you hear something that you have not seen in the Word, and do not hold people's persons in admiration, for it is by this very method that Satan will hold many of My people.

The Way of Triumph
I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, that you may triumph where I triumphed. On the cross I triumphed over all the powers of Satan, and I have called you to walk the same path. It is when your life is on the cross that you shall know the victory that I have experienced. As you are on the cross and seated in Me, then you shall know the power of the resurrection.

When I come in My glory, the principalities and powers in the heavenly places shall be broken. Fret not, for I have given you power whereby you may tread down the powers of darkness and come forth victoriously. It was on the cross that I triumphed over all the powers of the enemy. My life shall flow through you as you enter into these precious truths.

Look unto Me, and appropriate My life. As your eyes and desires are toward Me, and you know what it is to be crucified with Me, then you shall live, and your anointing shall increase. It was not in My life that I walked upon the earth, but it was in My life when I was upon the cross that I openly spoiled principalities and powers (Colossians 2:15). I am showing you truth that shall cause you to overcome, to have power over the wicked one-truth that will liberate you and those around you.

You shall know also the fellowship of My sufferings. There is no other way whereby you may partake of this heavenly glory and reign with Me. "If we suffer, we shall reign with Him" (II Timothy 2:12 KJV). I desire to make these truths real within you. As you keep them before you, you will liberate many who are in bondage.

You will have revelations of those in darkness and will have the keys to liberate the captives. Many seek to liberate, but they have not the keys. Upon the cross continually you will know the power of My resurrection that you may also partake of My glory. As you are willing to walk with Me and rejoice in your sufferings, you shall partake of My glory. Look unto Me, for ye have need of power to overcome the wicked one and the bondage in other lives.

If you will indeed judge yourself, you shall not be judged 0 Corinthians 11:31). As you seek My face and desire to be cleansed by Me in all truth and sincerity of heart, I will judge you in the secret place, and the things that are in the secret place of your heart shall not be made manifest to others.

I will do it in the secret place, and no man shall know it, and the shame that shall be seen on many faces shall not be seen on your face. Therefore, in love and mercy I am instructing you, and, therefore, have I said that if a man judge himself, he shall not be judged. It is not My good pleasure that the shame of My people be seen by all. How can I judge the world if I judge not first My own house? Hearken unto these things I am telling you. If you will not hearken to Me, your shame shall be evident to all.

God's Part and Our Part
I would have you consider My life on earth-the anointing upon Me was great. Yet the temptations were great on every side, in one form and then in another, offering Me first the glory of the kingdoms of the earth, and then reviling and persecuting Me. There will be great glory given to My people, and yet the temptations shall be intensified from every side.

Think not that with the glory there shall be no temptations or persecutions. The glory to My church shall be great, and so shall the temptations from the enemy to turn My people from My paths. I am warning you that when the glory shall be manifested, the temptations shall be great, until very few that start shall finish. First, there shall be offered them great worldly possessions, and then great revilings and unbelief.

Consider your Lord, that as He walked, so it shall be for you. There shall be need of great intensity of purpose. At times, everyone shall rise up against you, simply to turn you from the course that I would put you on. It is written of Me that I set My face as a flint to go the direction My Father had prescribed for Me (Isaiah 50:7).

If you will finish the course the Lord has laid down for you, you will have to set your face as a flint with great determination-you must walk in the course laid down for you. Many of your loved ones and those who follow with you shall persuade you and try to turn you from the course. With many words that seem right in the natural will they speak to you. Did not Christ rebuke Peter, who would turn Him from the course God had prescribed? (Matthew 16:22, 23)

Understand these two things and meditate upon them solemnly: the persecution and the darkness shall be as great as the glory, in order to try to turn the elect and the anointed ones from the path the Lord has laid down for them. Many shall start, but few shall be able to finish because of the greatness of grace that shall be needed to be able to endure unto the end. The temptation and persecution of your Lord was continuous.

He was tempted by Satan in many forms throughout His entire life, and even on the cross when the ungodly cried out, "If thou be the Christ, come down from the cross." Think not that there shall be a time of no persecution, for it shall be from the time of your anointing unto the end-difficulties and great persecution to the end. The Lord must prepare you to be an overcomer in all things, that you may be able to finish the course. The persecution shall increase, even as the anointing shall increase.

In paths of judgment and righteousness shall the Lord God lead His people and bring them into that place which He has chosen for them. For the Lord has chosen a place for His people, a place of righteousness and holiness where He shall encamp round about them, and all who will be led of the Lord shall be brought into this holy place, for the Lord delights to dwell in His people and to manifest Himself through His people.

The holiness of the Lord shall be manifested through his people. Let the Lord lead you in difficult places. He led His people of old through the place where no man dwelt, where no man had passed through- in a place of great danger, and in the shadow of death. The Lord will indeed lead His people through such places, and yet He will bring them out into a place of great glory. Understand that the way toward the glory is fraught with great danger, and many shall fall to the right or to the left; many shall camp on lesser ground, but the Lord has a place of holiness, and no unclean things shall dwell among His people.

Put your trust in Him, and He will bring you into a place of holiness. He desires to bring His people into great glory, the like of which has never been seen: what the Lord will do for those who put their trust in Him. It is a place of darkness and great danger that separates His people into the place He would have them walk in. He will protect them from the voices that would turn them from His path.

He will bring them through the dark places, and through the treacherous paths, out into the light of His glory. He will rejoice greatly over His beloved, and cause you to be filled with joy unspeakable. He seeks to lead His people into a new place of grace and glory where He will indeed encamp among them. Put your trust in Him, and He will surely bring you into this new place.

Fear not the days to come, but fear this only: that you shall walk in a manner pleasing to the Lord. In this time I am ordering and setting up My church, and it shall indeed be pure, without spot or wrinkle. I will do a work in My beloved that has not been seen since the foundation of the world. I have shown you these things that you may seek the Lord diligently with all your heart, and that you may be a preserver of His people.

Run not to this one nor to that one, for the Lord has so ordained that salvation is in Him, and in Him alone. You shall not turn to this shepherd, or to that one; for there shall be a great scattering upon the earth. Therefore, look unto Him, for He will indeed make these things clear to you. You shall not look here nor there, for wells that once had water shall be no more. But, as you diligently seek Him, He shall increase your strength and your faith that He may be able to prepare you for this time that is coming.

The truths that I have revealed to you must become a part of you, not just an experience, but a part of your very nature. Is it not written that I demand truth in the inward parts? It is the truth of the Lord expressed in your very being that shall hold you. Many shall experience the truth, but the truth must become a part of you-your very life.

As men and women look upon you, they will hear not only the voice, but see the expression of the truth. Many shall be overcome because they are not constant in My ways, and because they have not permitted the truths to become part of them. I am showing you these truths that you may be prepared and having done all, to stand.

The holy work of separation is coming soon!

The Righteous Offend the Beast and Harlot
Vincent Xavier xavier@san.rr.com

1. I am coming to do great injury and wrong to that which is not of my Father. My nature contends with the nature of the beast. This nature of the beast is in the heart of men who have not been sanctified by My Spirit.

That which has not been fully sanctified remains an offense to me and I will be an offense to it! Yes I will offend the beast in this hour! I will release a shockwave of glorious power that will cause the beast to reel to and fro like a drunken man! The nature of the beast has cleverly entrapped my people and has caused them to error in their hearts concerning what is acceptable to my Father.

A learned practice of what is acceptable to men has been the standard by which men have been judged, yet that standard shall be fully violated in this DAY. Religious leaders have led my people into complacency and have lulled them to sleep with their fairytales and ideas that originate in their own minds. Their words are not my words for their words carry no sanctifying power. Their words carry no influence in the realms of darkness to the liberating of the captives.

The nature of the beast is empowered by sin and the message of the religious leaders have not emancipated the conscience of those who believe in me. It is the SIN CONSCIENCE that must be dealt with. It is the SIN ISSUE that must be fully realized as the open door to Satanic power in the soul of them who believe.

My nature will make war with the Beast within the soul of men and will execute judgment upon the Beast. Be prepared, for many shall be offended in the last days and it will be I that is causing the offense! Those who are righteous indeed will be an offense to those who are religious indeed.

2. I am going to exceed all bounds of decency and reasonableness. Follow my life! Look at me! Was I approved and acceptable to the approved social order of my day? Was I subject to those who were in control of the day? Was the Roman government my head? Were the religious leaders of Judaism my head? NO!

My only supreme was my Father and I always did what my Father told me to do, even at the risk of upsetting the standard order of the times. Yes it was I that entered into the temple and turned over the tables of the moneychangers. This was an acceptable practice for those Jews at that time but their practices were not ordained of My Father.

It was I that caused outrage in the hearts of those who would take me to the cliff to throw me down the mountain! It was I that stirred the crowds into chaos and confusion causing divisions among men! It was I who upset the religious mindset of the day when healing on the Sabbath and doing good to those who were in need. It was I that caused offense in the hearts of the hypocrites! Yes it was I and I say unto you that I am going to upset the world again and I am going to turn it upside down.

I am going to shake the world of all its social graces and practices that are an offense and abomination to my Father. Two thousand years ago I sent a people into the world and they, according to my will TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN!

So it is on this, the THIRD DAY that I am going to release my people once again from the caves of obscurity who have hid from the religious leaders of this Day and bring them out into the open and oh what an offense they shall be to all the social orders men have labored so hard to erect and put in place.

Consider my servant David and the men that went out to meet him in the caves of Adullum. These were not the kind of men that were subjected to the religious order of Saul and neither will these be that I release in this hour. Surely I say to you that they will enter into your places of worship and contend with all that is not of My Father. They will be an offense to many and will reveal the hate and control in the hearts of the leaders who have refused to LET MY PEOPLE GO!

Consider my servant Joseph. He was thrown into prison by his OLDER brothers. Surely he shall arise in the earth having great authority and will rule over those older brothers in the days to come. Yes, those who were an insult to them because of their pride and jealousy will bow their knees to them and will acknowledge their authority and will know of a truth that I have loved them with an everlasting love from before the eons of time, or else they shall perish without a word.

Let it be known that I AM an offense to the world for the world is surely an offense to me!

I have watched the world and have watched my people in the world and those who claim to be mine. I ask, what have you learned since you believed? Have you not yet departed from that which is an offense to me? Have you not read that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of mine?

You have not yet COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE! Therefore you shall incur judgment against yourselves for I have determined to destroy Babylon! I am not speaking of the Babylon in the Middle East but the Babylon in the middle of your heart! I am speaking to your Babylonian ways and mindsets!

When I walked upon the earth I did not call attention to the Roman authorities but to the condition of men's hearts! Yes, I am coming to topple that which appears before men as most religious. That which is so acceptable today is an abomination to me! That which has become the social order of the day, the acceptable form of worship is coming to an end!

For I have determined to FINISH the house that has been in building for two thousand years. Yes, out of the ashes will arise a new building, complete and perfect, a people who are in the exact image of my Father! I am not concerned with social graces and what is acceptable to men, I am only concerned with that which is belonging to my Father!

How will I come? I will come to you in the form of men and women! I will come to you with great power and anointing when once I release my reserved ones. I come! I come in them to stand before the multitudes in order that I may bring truth to my temple! I come! Surely I come!

3. My presence will be very shocking and offensive in this DAY. A heavy blow will come to the earth! For heaven has witnessed the actions of men in the earth and their actions have been weighed in the balance. I will cause to stagger all nations by the news they shall hear.

What men have deemed as "good taste" shall surely become bitter by what I am about to do. Indeed, that which was once approved of men and acceptable in the eyes of the admirers shall become a revolting offense, even disgusting.

My people, who are seated with me in heavenly places are prepared to appear in the earth before the eyes of men. These shall be the reason for the "shock syndrome" that will come. For that which was once accepted in my house by men shall be seen as a detestable thing in comparison to the holiness that my sanctified ones shall walk in. Their presence shall reveal the disgusting abomination that has been hidden in the hearts of men while doing many outward works of righteousness.

I say that those works of outward righteousness shall be seen for what they truly are, mere religious robes covering the filth of an unsanctified life. My pure presence within my beloved ones shall cause the heart to fail in those who are unrepentant.

4. My appearing shall be violent in action and disposition. When I come I will come with a violent disposition that will cause men to pale and pine away. For I will take the nations by violence and I will destroy that which is false with a strong overthrow.

How will I come? I will appear through my servants the prophets! Their words shall be as a hammer violently breaking in pieces that which is an abomination to my Father. A destroying fire shall come out of their mouths to the burning up of all chaff in the hearts of men! There will be no arrogance when they come. Those who would oppose their words will come under swift judgment.

For these are my battle axes, my weapons of war who have been reserved for a time such as this, yet it is I who am working in them beyond their own understanding! They have yielded to my will and have surrendered their lives so that I may live in and through them. It will be I who is contended with by those who would oppose them.

I have said that Violent men take the Kingdom by force and it will be at this time that the Kingdom shall be taken by those full of divine energy and power. Satan shall be cast out of the heavenlies and thrust down into the pit. I am speaking to the hearts of men. For it is within the heart that all evil comes. Not outwardly in the skies above but within the very soul of man that Satan has taken his seat along with the Beast and the false prophet.

These evil spirits have held the dominion but shall now come under a violent blow that shall shake them from their high places in order to release my Kingdom in the hearts of those who believe.

5. Because I am going to exceed all bounds of right, morality and decency known to man, I will be INTOLERABLE to the modern religious and social leaders of this day. My people hear me! What has been erected as decent, moral and acceptable of men is truly an abomination to me. You live in a time where men call evil good, good evil, bitter sweet and sweet bitter. It is a DAY wherein light is called darkness and darkness is called light.

Because of these conditions I will come as an INTOLERABLE force of emptying magnitude. I will so completely overturn that which is hypocritical that nothing will remain. Understand that what I have tolerated for so long will no longer be tolerated. In my intolerance I will lead a militia of chosen warriors through whom I will shake the earth!

Many will find my ways intolerable from behind the pulpit in these moments of time for many in the congregation shall be offended because of the righteousness that flows from the ministers lips. Yes, I have ministers, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers and Pastors who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal, who will demonstrate my glorious power in these days. To them shall many flock. For the true shall know my voice in and through them and will know them by their fruits.

Man has played with power greater than himself and by so doing has opened the gate to a great flood of evil. But no man has ever witnessed the magnitude of my intolerance as what shall be witnessed in these days. My presence will become unbearable to the wicked. My words will be too severe for the hypocrites! I will appear as a cruel one to those who have been cruel!

Many will not be able to bear with me. Yet to my beloved shall I appear with an intolerable love and grace! Yes, many will not be able to bear my love, mercy and grace that I will bestow upon them and these shall be swept away in rapturous moments in my glory. These shall be overwhelmed with my love and blessings!

Many great and wonderful blessings shall abound to their account and their inheritance shall be released unto them. These are they who have come to maturity and have grown up beyond the mere religious practices of many. These are my sons and daughters who will set the creation free even as I did when I walked upon the earth.

I stillhet och förtröstan ska vi bli starka

1. Warfare From The Place of Rest
Terry Somerville

I began my ministry being mentored in deliverance and spiritual warfare. I had come out of the occult and had to know how to resist the devil. Only a few people had insight into this back then. Today things are different and spiritual warfare seems to be a big part of praying for revival. Now we have spiritual warfare networks, identificational repentance, identifying and binding principalities etc. But there is a problem. Most of us know Christians doing this in earnest and being tormented by the enemy. This is not right. We have the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead living in us! The enemy should flee when he sees us! What's wrong?

The church in Acts advanced dramatically, but didn't do warfare the way it's done today. They boldly preached the Kingdom of God and cast out demons, and the Kingdom of God came in. But they seemed almost indifferent to the enemies power, though they prayed a great deal. Was there spiritual warfare? Of course. At times Satan hindered them, But their approach had a different character than we see today. It was a warfare from a place of rest in the victory of the cross.

This is the place God wants us to be!

Transitions in Spiritual Warfare

I was one of those being tormented by the enemy as I pressed forward in revival prayer. I knew my authority in Christ, but had to seek God in desperation. Over the years I experienced several seasons of refocusing in Spiritual warfare and ministry. Each step was a breakthrough. Here is a brief outline of steps I took to "WARFARE FROM THE PLACE OF REST".

1. From Discernment of Demons to Discernment of the Holy Spirit
When I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, the gift of discerning of spirit came strongly. I needed it. I had come out of the occult. But like many Christians with a prophetic calling, I picked up on every demon around! I bound them all! After a while I was getting tired of this and desperate. One day I prayed "God, I'm tired of seeing what demons are doing, I want to see what you are doing" At that point the discernment of spirits took on a new dimension. I began to see what the Holy Spirit and angels were doing. I found if I knew what God was doing, what demons wasn't an issue.

One Christmas time a demon possessed man was in the front row of our church during an evening service. He was a Christian with many mental struggles. As I preached I discerned a demon watching me, and also discerned the power of God going forth. At the end of the message I came about six feet from him and said, at ordinary volume, "get out of him!" Suddenly the demon manifested and he hit the floor thrashing, growling and knocking over the Christmas tree. The congregation began to run out of the building and I yelled " don't leave, it's only a demon." With a Holy boldness I jumped on top of him commanding the demon to leave. Why did I respond differently than the congregation? The congregation only saw what the demon was doing, I could see what God was doing.

2. From Battling the Enemy to Dealing With Idolatry
When I came to Campbell River I entered into a level of warfare I had never experienced. God was about to show me something I had never seen before. For the first ten years of ministry I had always experienced victory over the enemy. Now I was embattled, and all my efforts at binding and rebuking the enemy were useless. This went on for over a year and I didn't understand it. Sometimes the oppression was so overwhelming I would be on the floor crying out to God. "What is going on Lord??"

Then, in a time of deeply seeking God, He revealed something I never knew about myself. He said "Terry, you are an idol worshiper." I didn't understand it. Then he showed me the the vision of the ministry I wanted was like a "picture on the wall of my heart". Like the priests in Ezekiel 14, I served this image of ministry rather than the Lord. (An idol is an image ) When the picture came true my flesh was happy, when the picture was denied I was upset. The Lord showed me this idolatry in three areas of my life. It had become a foothold for the enemy to attack. I was unsubmitted to God, and could try and resist, but the enemy did not flee. I was tormented.

The key to victory was a change of heart. In a process that took years, I repented of my idolatry in church ministry. I realized that what is valued in our culture had become the values of the church...success, fame, youth, size, money, control. We watched the clock not the Lord. Even when renewal came, we wanted renewal to be our ticket to fame! I could see that my prayers for revival were nothing but prayers from idolatry! Oh how deep these years of repentance became.

During this time identificational repentance became part of my walk with God. I became involved with The Gatherings and we realized we needed to take corporate responsibility for our history as a church and a nation. Though this cleansed away many sins, there were more changes to come.

3. From General Commission to Specific Jurisdiction
Another key revelation concerns knowing the jurisdiction the Lord has given us. The fact is, much spiritual warfare is presumptuous, and based on the general commission "Behold I give you authority over all the power of the enemy." Many Christians assume this is a blanket authority to do whatever they please in confronting Satan. Even Jesus did not do that. He only did what he saw the Father doing, though He had all authority.

The things of the old testament "were written down for our instruction"(Rom.15:4). Moses was told that God had given them the land , a general principle over all the power of their enemy. But when the spies brought an evil report, that generation lost their jurisdiction. Later Joshua entered the land on the same commission. When Achan stole the goods from Jericho the people again suffered defeat. We need to understand our assignment and the jurisdiction God gives us at any given time and not exceed it. I have spiritual authority in my home, but not someone elses home. The RCMP and the FBI both have police authority, but it applies to their place of assignment, not police work everywhere. When I understood this it broke through a lot of difficulties I was making for myself.

One day my wife and I were in our living room praying for the ministry. Suddenly we both saw this five foot tall spirit, like an old woman, or "hag" standing in front of us. It was a principality. I would have rebuked it, but immediately the Holy Spirit said "don't touch it!" and warned me that it could kill. He also showed me that she was out her territory, and that I had no jurisdiction to deal with it! I said to it "You don't have anything to do with me, and I don't have anything to do with you." It just left. Who knows what warfare I would have been in had I not obeyed the Lord! I learned new respect for spiritual jurisdiction that day!

Here are some important scriptures that stood out to me.
Col 1:16 "For all things were created in Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him."

This scripture tells us clearly the realm of powers and principalities is something Jesus is highly involved with! Daniels revelation of the angelic battle was not an authorization for us to do high level spiritual warfare, but a revelation that the Lord dispatched His archangels against the prince of Persia. He created those thrones, determines their times and seasons. He "created the destroyer for a purpose!" It was the Lord that determined the Canaanite Kingdoms were at an end, and then gave Israel authority to take the land. The word tells us the God will crush Satan under our feet! We need to know our jurisdiction. Our clear mandate is to cast demons out of people. We can always set seekers free! Beyond that we must absolutely know God's throne room commands, then, principalities yield to the advancing church! We are warned about being ignorant and reviling these spiritual authorities.

Jud 1:8-10 "Likewise, indeed, also these...... despise rulership, and speak evil of glories. But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he argued about the body of Moses, he dared not bring a judgment of blasphemy, but said, Let the Lord rebuke you! But what things they do not know, they speak evil of. ..."

We may petition the Lord, but He alone determines the rise and fall of these princes today, and we participate in carrying it out! Though the Lord utterly destroyed every evil power at Calvary, they still exercise an evil dominion and God sets His timetable. Presumptuous warfare is costly, and many are suffering because they presume to have jurisdiction not given to them at the time. When it is time, the Father delegates it and we see great victories! Our assignment determins our jurisdiction.

4. From Breaking Curses to Releasing Blessing
For many of us the focus became finding the key to break the curses we had experienced, and the curses on the land. I must admit, after God confronted my idolatry I kept looking for causes of failure in myself, and my people. I would strive terribly, self conscious and analytical about everything I was doing, especially in ministry. It seemed we battled a constant stream of curses. Then I was invited to go to Argentina. I knew God would change my life.

We visited Hector Giminez' church and were immersed in the revival. They had ten services a day, seven days a week! Wow! I just soaked in what God was doing and loved it. On the way home I found a corner alone on the mostly empty plane and said "OK God, what did you want to show me?" He began to talk to me about about blessing.

The Lord reminded me of what happened one day at Hectors church. Between services we would be taken to the guest lounge by our hostess. One time the woman who usually brings refreshments was not there, so our hostess served us. Soon afterwards the other woman came in and began debating with the hostess. I asked one of the men to translate what they were saying. He told me "shes saying "you took away my chance to bless our guests."" I started recalling how these people in revival always focused on blessing. They loved to do it. It is a Kingdom lifestyle. Then the Lord brought the scriptures to mind. Jesus took the whole curse and paid for it. I am blessed with Abraham. I am called to be a blessing!

"So then those of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are out of works of the Law, these are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the Book of the Law, to do them." But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of God is clear, for, "The just shall live by faith." But the Law is not of faith; but, "The man who does these things shall live in them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree"); so that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations in Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Gal.3:8-14

I discovered I was laboring in spiritual warfare under the law knowing Satan is a legalist. But the Lord was saying "don't fight with the curse, just bless. Jesus took the curse and blesses you! The blessing breaks the curse!" When I came home we began to put this into practice. We found that spiritual warfare changed dramatically. Whenever we felt the enemy at work through curses we blessed! The curse and struggles just seemed to dissolve away. The Kingdom was here!

Is repentance ever a key for breakthrough? Of course. But our focus is to bless, not look for sin. The Holy Spirit will convict us if necessary!

5. From Fighter To Lover
Up until 2001 I had been a person who "contended" for ministry. We had seen wonderful things, but like a good charismatic minister, spiritual victory seemed to depend on my ability to walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In 2001 Bob Brasset invited me to accompany him in His new healing ministry. Over the next year I ministered with him in about 30 meetings as he mentored me. I saw so many people healed that I was astonished and Bob spoke regularly about "the love anointing". I had seen all kinds of anointings in the Spirit, but what was the "love anointing"? I kept asking and Bob kept explaining, but it had to come by revelation. Finally I saw it!

As I ministered to the sick one night I suddenly saw what looked like liquid wind come down on the person. It was the love anointing! Under the love anointing I spoke to the infirmity and the person was healed! My reaction was "OH! I get it! It's Him! Jesus IS here. He's coming on people with His love, but He's doing when I pray for it to come. God is the love anointing!" When he pours His love on you, you can minister but it is Him that ministers. Its not about me ministering the gifts. He is the gift! It was not about me having love, He is love. In a moment I understood how Jesus said "He who has seen me has seen the Father."

My life and ministry dramatically changed from that point on. Ministry is no longer about ministry, but about His presence and love in me ministering. Spiritual warfare also changed completely. Instead of being in a fight, it's no contest! Jesus love at the cross utterly defeated the enemy. Anywhere this love goes the enemy leaves! Even deliverance ministry is different! What a joy pouring love on a person. The enemy just melts away in easy commands. I've begun to wonder if warfare is even warfare? I found myself resting with Him on the throne of His grace!

In 2002 I started traveling in healing ministry myself, and in 2003 went to India for the first time. The new Hindu temple behind my hosts house was being dedicated while we were there. Loudspeakers broadcast the demon worship for blocks in every direction. Years ago I would have been paranoid about being surrounded by idols and demons. I honestly felt nothing of the enemy at all as we immersed in his territory! One day I asked my host to translate the worship for me. I was surprised to find it was an expression of worship and thanks to a god of stone. Instantly I felt the love of God for the people and His jealousy for their worship of Him. From that point on every demon, idol and temple reminded me of Gods love. Under the love anointing the blind saw, the deaf heard, the mute talked, the infirm became well, the lame walked, and the leper was cleansed, demons were cast out, and many were saved! .

Here was the key. Jesus loves India and He's bringing India to Himself. The enemy may hinder, but he can DO NOTHING to stop it. We didn't fight and war our way into this. It just is, because of His love! The sin, the idolatry, the history, all that man has done, all the blood shed, all that Satan has worked, was taken by Christ at the cross. Oh that we would catch this vision for Canada!

6. From Advancing Our Church to Advancing His Kingdom - Warfare From The Place of Rest
In the last year I experienced a shift in overall focus, from advancing the church organization, to advancing the Kingdom of God. Some will say "Isn't it the same thing?" No it isn't. The Kingdom of God always exists. We don't build, it we announce it. It's a banquet God has set. We are the waiters at the table inviting the world to dine! The Kingdom is the presence of the King, with authority, love, grace and life for all who will believe. The Kingdom is already organized. God sets His ministries in the body as he wishes. On the other hand, believers may build a church organization as a wineskin. We try to reflect the Kingdom of God in our organization. Eventually the wineskin loses its flexibility and does not respond to the Holy Spirit as it once did.

When we seek to advance an organization or our own plans, we may experience spiritual warfare as "hand to hand combat" with the enemy.(Eph 6:12) Why is this? Because we are wrestling at a "second heaven" level. Every piece of armor in this passage is there to gird the natural man in the things of God. But there is a different level of warfare that God wants us to know about. It is when we sit with Christ in the heavenly places and God crushes Satan under our feet.

In India at our miracle crusade I noticed a remarkable thing. When I preached the good news of the Kingdom the miracles dramatically increased over other occasions of ministry. I asked God why? He said "because you are doing Kingdom business." I understood our organized ministry to the poor was right and good, but God's hand of power was on the advancing Kingdom. That's the mandate that destroys the works of Satan. I need to keep that straight. Jesus said "the poor you will always have with you." But his orders were specific "go and preach the good news of the Kingdom."

What's amazing about making this shift to a Kingdom focus is that spiritual warfare has almost ceased entirely, Yet the enemy still falls back. If I leave the place of rest to advance myself, the "wrestling' starts up and the results plunge. Here are some thoughts on the power of a Kingdom focus.

1. The power and mandate to destroy the works of Satan rests on preaching the Kingdom of God .
2. When we seek first the Kingdom of God, He will back us up with the other things.
3. When we represent the King and not yourself, we have authority as an ambassador.
4. When we put no confidence in the flesh, then we will see the power of the Spirit

Conclusion
I believe the Lord is orchestrating a divine shift throughout the body of Christ. Our experience of spiritual warfare is slowly moving to the place where we see "power over all the power of the enemy." However, this power is not about having a "larger sword". It has much to do with the fact that Jesus himself bears the sword, and we are His body. (Eph.6:17 Rev 1:16) God is shifting our battle in spiritual warfare from hand to hand combat, ( Eph 6:12) to putting the enemy under our feet. (Rom 16:20)

Perfected Love

Judy Bauman

March 28, 2008

An Exhortation from the heart of the Father to yours

Perfected Love

Child, you worry too much
Have I not told you to come to Me and cast your burdens onto Me?
What so many do in My Body is they bring something to Me then they take it back. They bring it - they take it back; bring it - take it back. As if I were playing a game with them! I Am not playing games. I will take off the yoke of slavery if you will release it to Me. I remove it from your midst completely if you will but leave it with Me.

Let Me give you an example. You bring to Me the problems you face with your loved ones and I tell you to leave them at the Cross. Then at the first sign of trouble you rush in to try to fix what has gone wrong. This is where you need discernment to know what requires your help and from what you should refrain. This way you will not interfere with what I am doing and you will operate in the fruit of self-control which flows from My love.

Remember the story Jesus taught about the son who took his inheritance and left his father for wild living? (Luke 15:11-32) That story was an example of My love. The father let the son get to the end of himself and to the point that he knew he needed his father or he would die. That father loved him enough to allow him not only starve, but to sin. (Many allow their children to sin but not starve.) The father hoped his son would indeed "come to himself" and return to his waiting arms. This gave the father the chance to show not only great mercy to the wayward son but also to show him what love that had been perfected looked like, felt like and acted like. The father treated not only the son who left with tender mercy but also the one who remained.
In the Garden of Eden I could have rushed in and kept Eve from being deceived, I could have ripped the forbidden fruit out of Adam's hand, or I could have made sure the serpent never entered the Garden in the first place! There was a greater truth at work and had I rushed in to help I would have thwarted that greater work.

Did I know that Adam would eat of the fruit? Did I know Eve would listen to the lies of the serpent? Of course I did. I saw the bigger picture. I saw mankind, and if Adam and Eve would not have eaten of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, someone down the line would have. I gave Adam the choice to obey Me just like I have given every person the choice. I have given everyone the choice to obey Me but it is more than that. I give mankind the choice to love Me. If you love Me you will obey Me out of that love. What My heart longs for is your love.

"If you love Me you will obey My commandments." (John 14:15)

In My love there is no fear. Perfect love casts out fear - that is to say love which has been perfected will dispel all fear. In fear there is torment but in love there is security and trust. In that love you can live and move and have your being.

Worry is akin to fear. They are close relatives. You know Beloved, faith and fear do not mix. Without faith it is impossible to please Me but without love your faith will fail. This is why the "greatest of these" - faith, hope and love - is love.

Love is the first fruit and with love you have joy and with joy you then have peace. How could you have patience without peace? Patience reveals kindness and out of kindness goodness flows. From goodness comes faithfulness and in faithfulness you become gentle. With all these in focus and working in cooperation then self-control will be ever present. Now we are back to what I told you at the beginning. You will be able to leave those whom you love at the Cross when all the fruit of the Spirit is operational in your life. You will trust Me to work in their lives so that have has its perfect work and fear is cast out. Cultivate the fruit, Beloved, be as a gardener and watch over the fruit and guard it with all diligence. It all starts with love. My job is to love you. When you fully receive My love you will be able to turn and love others. So receive My love. Its My love, its My love, its My love. Everything that I do I do from the perspective of My love for you.

Allow My perfect love be worked in your members and all throughout your life. Permit the yeast, the Leaven of Heaven, raise you up to a new Standard. Jesus is your Standard! Let Him bring a lightness to your life and sweetness to your lips. This way when you speak you will be speaking My words and not your own. Be anxious for no thing. Allow My water to cleanse you, My oil to anoint and heal you, My fire to purify you and My love to transform you.
Ask for wisdom and ask in faith. I will give it to you freely and abundantly as I Am generous. Ask for My perfected love to cast out ALL your fears. If you have fear in any area of your life, it is an area that needs My perfected love to be worked into it. Perfected love is perfect love in progress. It is a process, Beloved. Allow yourself to be cultivated as this is the goal. You look forward to "arriving" but I look forward to the journey. Enjoy the process even though it is painful at times. This is where you learn to turn and strengthen your brethren. If you came through the process quickly, you would expect others to as well. So embrace the process.
Let Me knead out fear, doubt and unbelief like a baker kneads the dough before letting it rise. My perfected love is what you need to bring you out of the wilderness of anxiety and into the peace that surpasses all understanding that will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

You are forever in My love,
Abba
