"I AM THE KING OF THIS LAND"

Nov. 11, 00

1SA 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

1SA 8:19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us. [20] Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles." 1SA 8:21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. [22] The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king."

"Look and watch around you, and tell Me, what do you see?"

"You see a nation and a country that is in confusion, because of these things in the political process. But be patient, for I AM working behind all of this. There is the government of God, and there is a process that has a process much higher than the one in this land. I AM Commander-in-Chief. Do not forget that. I AM in control of everything that is happening. Why do the nations rage and why is there tumult upon the earth? I say, do not fear, nor be ye dismayed. "

"What is in a leader, you might say. Remember how I chose my servant David. Remember that the people wanted someone who would take them to a higher place. Saul was a man who was good in battle but poor in the things of the Spirit, and the people were without a shepherd when he was in office. He hated David for no cause. He went to the witch at Endor to seek help there as well. Do not look to the political process. Come up to the mountain and present your prayers there. I will hear them, if you humble yourselves and pray. Come to Me, and hear Me. You have come to a mountain that you need not fear. Offer sacrifices of true and repentant hearts. "

(The Lord showed me someone who was reading a newspaper. I watched as the pages were leafed through and various articles and captions were looked at. Then I noticed that directly behind me was a King. It was the King of Kings and He held a scepter and seemed to be pointing to various things in this newspaper. He had on a beautiful crown and there were as stars upon His head and His robe. He sat upon a throne and was seated in the office as King of the land. He watched carefully as it were, but remained calm and awaited what would happen; although He knew what would happen.)

"Do not worry about the captions and the things you read in the newspapers. I AM the KIng of Kings, and I will execute judgment upon the land. "
