This will be a very unique year. It will not be like 97 was. God is going to begin to release apostles and prophets whom He has kept hidden for years. (Hidden in Himself) Obedience and loyalty have been established. Prophets of the Lord will open their mouths and an "unsealing" will begin to take place and things will be spoken into existence. When the Prophet of God hears a Word, he will speak it, and what had been sealed will be unsealed. Many things will be released and set in motion in this manner. The Lord has kept many things hidden and laid up for this day you and I live in. You will begin to see this during this year. Prophets will begin to come out of their "wilderness" and the people will begin to wonder "who are these that are coming forth?" "What are they doing?" Some of the most "common people" will come forth with the mantle of the prophet and great care must be made not to speak against them. For the Lord has heard their crying and prayers while in the wilderness and all that was once spoken against the Prophet of God will be tolerated no more without judgement.
The Prophet of God was abused, misunderstood,
left out, ignored, and refused for a long time and the cup of the Lord’s
anger is full. There is no more room.
The hidden things are going to come to light! Sin that was hidden will begin to be exposed in great measure on those who refuse to repent. Many in church leadership will see their secret sins exposed. Ezekiel 8-6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary?
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Some will be forced out of their ministry. Many will repent after being exposed. A greater side of persecution will begin now along with the coming forth of God's people. For God's people will not speak kind smooth words, no, there will come a "true word", a "bombshell" out of their mouth that will be felt by many who are in the hearing. For they will fear they will be next to be found out. Because of this, many in different denominations will refuse their brother and sister and seek to punish them and to bring evil on them. But in their doing, God will judge fiercely those who touch His people.(Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.) Many of Gods people will start showing up to proclaim ,and what they proclaim will discomfort the people. For the people’s hearts are cold and they have erred after the ways of Cain. Pastors will not know what to do with these people. "Are they genuine?" "Are they truly sent of God?" "What will I do?" "Should I give them a platform and then see my church turn on me?" These will be the thoughts that will come to the shepherds. Many will be found wanting in the balances of the Lord. In the actions they take they will be judged by the Lord. You will see this and you will remember what was said. A "nobody" will show up and you will see. By the year 2000, this will be a very common occurrence. Be careful what you say about those you don’t know. Don’t be too quick to judge. Allow their fruits to be made manifest. Be careful again I say. Do not be found out as speaking against the Lords anointed as there is no more room in the cup. Teach those around you to be slow to speak, quick to listen. Judge everything by the word of God. If you are not sure, don’t say anything. For God takes the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The people God is gonna use in this next "move" are a people who have been kept hidden in the Lord.
Now is the time to seek the Lord and that all be cleansed. Let nothing that defiles be found in us. Our hands and hearts must be clean and pure. Our motives and our doings must be right.
For I hear the word "Judgement" in the Spirit and it is loud and everyone will know of somebody who was found out. Fear in the hearts of the shepherds! Fear in the hearts of the elders! Fear in the hearts of those in administrative offices in the church! Fear in the hearts of the deacons! It has to be this way!
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
The five fold ministry will come back to the church through this move. There must be a prophet, an apostle, as well as a pastor. All giftings have to be in operation and all members of the body must be functioning together. The fear of the Lord will come rushing back into the church! A reverence will be known that was long ago lost. At first it will be a finding out, then a more drastic judgement for those who will not reverence the Lord. All that can be shaken, will yet again be shaken and the beginnings of the end will come.
May His peace fill your hearts.
