"It is I, the Lord your God, who controls the "fullness of time" in any given situation and thus, it is an absolute dependence on My Word and a "perfect obedience" that brings one to the threshold of the "fullness of time", having been perfectly prepared to then enter in. My children must not "second-guess" My timing for I alone am the "All-Knowing" One, and truly I say to you, I have everything covered, that is, I have taken all things into a "consideration" that will cause the "greatest eternal benefit" of all those who belong to Me"....

"One can "facilitate" and "expedite" the work that I desire to do in them through abiding in a perfect obedience. Yet, although they are able to "hinder' the inner working of the Cross through "disobedience" they can never accelerate it. For only I know the deepest fiber of their being and only I know the "fullness of time" concerning them"....

"Spiritual pride" is a far greater force and has greater "effect" than a natural or "worldly" pride. The spiritual pride I speak of can only be found in one who has been "born-again". If one of My children fails to enter in by the narrow gate then they "allow" themselves to be guided and influenced by the forces of darkness - ending up in a place wherein "self" is still on the throne of their heart, and thus they are "devoid" of any true spiritual knowledge, and their motivations and goals are not of Me, and the "kingdom" they seek to establish is one wherein they themselves are exalted. I do not say that these ones are "conscious" of their folly; indeed, they have "allowed" themselves to be deluded and thus they can do nothing other than abuse the "authority" they have been given as a child of Mine; and they seek not to establish "My" Kingdom in love, but rather they seek to establish themselves in a position wherein they are continually esteemed by flesh and blood, without any "true" regard for the Truth.

Truly I say to you, these "unholy ones", these sons and daughters of disobedience, are a short time from stepping out beyond the "covenants of promise" which protect continually all those who truly love Me and who are willing to exercise faith and walk in love at all cost to themselves; and though it grieves My heart to see any of My children turn their back on My Word, nevertheless, the "fullness of time" has arrived for the "absoluteness" of My Judgment upon My house to be manifested. For as I look upon the congregations of My people I see much fear and much sin, and thus much evidence of the deadly effects of the "law of sin and death"! Indeed, unless My leaders (delegated authorities) are abiding in Christ, then there is no way for them to "supercede" the "curse of disobedience" (the law of sin and death), and now you shall begin to see clearly, those in My Church who have truly loved Me and those who have not! For Satan and his forces shall "claw" and "maul" all those of My children who have "wandered" out into his territory (the world) through their own pride and rebellion! All those of My children who have sought Me from a pure heart are able to discern the things I speak of"....

"One who exercises a "false" authority is one who has allowed themselves in some way to be deceived by the Evil One into "maintaining" a selfish motivation or ambition and this will always manifest itself in words and actions that are contrary to My absolute truth and, thus, they are used by Satan to mislead - if possible - even the "elect". If any one of My children align themselves in any way with these "leaders" then it is certain that they shall fall under a "spirit of deception" and thus they themselves shall be found mounting an attack against those who are walking in a position of true authority!

"If one approaches My Word with a view to attaining "knowledge" alone, that attainment of knowledge being for the purpose of exalting themselves above their brothers and sisters, then that one shall open themselves to "deception". It is as one approaches My Word with a view to "obeying" it, their inner man shall be flooded (filled) with light and they shall surely "possess" a wisdom far above the wisdom of the world. My children, let not the light that is in you be darkness!"....

Hold fast My beloved ones, for the time for Me to "exalt" all those of My "chosen ones" - all those who have sought only to carry out My will - has come. Indeed, all those of My children who are seeking after righteousness shall "know" in their hearts and "see" with their eyes a great "void" in the leadership of My Church, and in one accord they shall cry out to Me, and I shall send forth My holy apostles and prophets to "lift up" (elevate) My children to the plane of holiness and righteousness which exists far above the "principalities and powers" and all the hosts of darkness. And then shall the earth (world) see My true Church in all Her Glory, and the world in all its darkness shall be "turned upside down" and the multitudes shall "flow towards the one true Light!"....

"Time" does not matter until the "fullness of time"!....

"The day has come, My beloved ones, when men will flee in terror from your "presence". For no sin will be able to stand in the presence of My Spirit, and from you shall flow not just trickles of living water, but torrents which will flood out upon all flesh, and through this process My spotless and unblemished Church - full of My glory - shall stand before Me. Blessed are those who serve Me and walk uprightly before Me, for they shall ride the crest of this great flood of My Spirit in the earth and greatly shall they be exalted!"....

"I long for My children to listen first to the voice of My Spirit, that they might be led by Me in all things; but in order for this to happen there must first be made a true and pure commitment to My Word, without which, many shall be led into destruction and ruin. For if one's foundation is not built on the rock of the revealed knowledge of My Word, then indeed when the rain descends and the floods come and the winds blow and burst forth against them, they shall fall; and that fall shall be thorough and complete - for the Evil One will stop at nothing in his vile attacks against My children unless they remain in covenant with Me by exercising their free will continually to obey My Word; for they must realize that all their provision in all things is in My Word, and if one chooses to remain entangled in sin and thus allow themselves to be lured and drawn by the spirit of the world, manifestations which are not of Me shall happen in their lives, "by their own choice"!....

"To the degree that My children set their "own" joy before them, in other words, those things which would satisfy their own desires apart from Me, it is to that degree that they shall continue to strive in their own power to attain the goal which I have set for them. It is only as My children lay down their lives and "allow" Me to do "all things", that I am enabled to "flood" their hearts with the revelation and the vision and the joy which will allow them to endure the "cross" and fulfill every facet of My will for their lives"....

"In these days, the veil of darkness shall be removed and My light and My truth shall be poured forth as a flood through My holy vessels and, before the catching away of "My" Church, everyone who is still walking in the earth shall have been affected greatly. For now is the time of "the greatest manifestation of My power" that this earth has ever seen - and truly I say to you, ALL shall be laid bare before the consuming fire of My Spirit! The one thing that will allow My children to gain the needed revelation for My working in this last hour, is for them to "guard their heart with all diligence", for it is through the holy and blameless heart that I am best able to show Myself holy and blameless before all the peoples and it is certain that as one guards their spirit with "all diligence", thus keeping it in perfect ascendancy over soul and body, My life and light shall be poured out "without measure" as a flood, crushing death and darkness where they stand!"....

"Do My children not realize that when I continually flood their lives with a superabundance of divine blessing that it does great harm to Satan?"....

"As My children flood their hearts with My Word then they shall surely see that wherever they set foot there shall be an outpouring of My Spirit through them!"....
