Out of the North

Denise Lagrimas

2004

Ezekiel 1:4 Then I looked and behold a whirlwind was coming out of the North, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself and brightness was all around it and radiating out of it's midst like the color of Amber.

Out of the North will come a mighty wind with a force of a thousand raging rivers. It will engulf and surround everything in its path. My wind of fire will purify everything in its path and destroy all that is adverse to the King of Glory. Out of the North great fires will emerge and blow again with the fire of refinement and purification. The north winds will blow with devastation to the idols of this land and all that can be shaken will be shaken to the point of destruction yet those things that remain unshakable will be to the glory of God. Every idol will fall so that when the winds of fire have passed only the foundation and those that are a new creation of My Son will remain.

Behold says the Lord that I will be as a wall of fire around you and my glory will emanate within.

Great Awakening

Denise Lagrimas

We know that before that great and final day that the word tells us there will be a great awakening along with a great falling away. I believe we are moving into that time. God is moving upon the church TO AWAKEN THEM from their slumber. We have been asleep in the spirit. God is calling His people back to prayer to take their place and station themselves for kingdom appointment. God is preparing a people of passion to propel the body of Christ into the third day season of awakening. On the third day Jesus awakened from death to defeat the power satan thought he had over man. He put an end to death and gave immortality to those who know Him. Yes though our mortal bodies will die we will receive new glorified ones that will live forever. The church grew daily and today we still revel in the power of Christ as we see resurrection in the lost and those who were once dead in Christ. Today God is saying to us as a people "Arise and awaken once again from your slumber and move out in the anointing of the Holy Spirit who has been sent as a comforter and friend but also the power in us to do the impossible."

For months now there has been expectancy in the body of Christ. For years we have known God was doing something new and was about to unleash the greatest move ever seen. Many have waited and waited and waited like horses in the gate ready to bolt at the sound of the bell and the release of the gate. The prophetic voice has declared & confirmed much about events, tragedy’s and biblical prophecy so much so that the voice of the Lord is being heard all around the world and even the unbeliever has had to stop and take notice. This is a crucial time for the body of Christ, a window of opportunity like never before.

Ecclesiastes says "to everything there is a time to everything there is a season" "There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on earth" Eccl.3:1 (MSG.) For weeks now with sleepless nights I have been hearing and keep hearing the same words  "IT'S TIME"!!!

Through many others came confirmation. I know if God is speaking to me about something He is speaking to others, if for no other reason than to confirm to me I am hearing correctly. I so appreciate that about GOD. He confirms through His Word and others.

So here we are in the "TIME" season, the third day awakening and all I can say is hold on because this time things are going to be not only suddenly but accurate and without faultiness. The fulfillment of Gods plan in a Kairos moment.

There is a moment in time when God steps into time as we know it and the supernatural happens. It is that "Kairos Time" The time that heaven comes down to earth and the spirit of God connects with the spirit of man. It is in these Kairos moments that atmospheric change occurs and salvation can flow like a river without much hesitation. We've seen this in days when the great revivals of Finney, Spurgeon, and others were declaring the word and entire communities shared a Kairos moment and were saved! I believe God is speaking to the church today that we are to be ready for more of those Kairos moments and to not be complacent in our well doing. What does that mean? I believe it means we will see God step into our time and the waiting and waiting will finally be over. We will see the fulfillment of the things we've been hoping and praying about for years and we will grab a hold of Gods promises for this last days season. The greatest season of harvest is right before us. The harvest takes it's place in the forefront of ministry as we step into the time of reaping what we have sown.

The message that God has given many is God is requiring "excellence in ministry" I have sensed we have just stepped from a prophetic season into an apostolic season.

The prophetic voice has been declaring for years what God wants and how He wants it. That huge word "IF" has kept us ever checking ourselves. IF my people ... then... IF you obey ...then... IF you seek Me... then... IF you love Me...then..

He is saying no more talk, wake up! Now it is time for the sending. His lost sheep cover the countryside and all the countryside’s of the world. We have the food and they belong to Him so if we love Him then we must act like Him. We must humble ourselves and pray, we must love the lord by loving others, we must find him by seeking him and we must FEED His sheep.

It's time for the homeless and the hungry to be fed and clothed and sheltered by the most high.

The apostolic call on the body of Christ is to go forth and plant (the Word). To reach the lost sheep of all nations. By the planting of churches in every nation the food supply increases and the sheep then hear their masters voice and come home.

I truly believe there is about to be an increase in the sending of the church as many have heard the sound of the bell and have bolted through the gates with accuracy and commitment, focused on the end of this race looking to the finish line. I believe also that men & women are reaching the place of unity that will devastate the kingdom of darkness. There is a great responsibility on the overseers

and leaders of Gods people. We must take notice of those who God has called to go forth and then let them go forth with blessing for in doing so the blessing will return to us a double portion. We must make sure those equipped and ready are utilized and do not become stagnant and complacent. If our ministry has been to equip the saints for the work of the ministry and we still have the same saints week after week, month after month, year after year still in need of equipping... its TIME to check ourselves!!! Equip the saints and listen for when God tells you its time to release them, awaken them and send them out, Then prepare your house for blessing as the kingdom increases at your obedience. The word of the Lord promises to guide us into all truth and show us the salvation of The Lord.

Salvation comes when the spirit of God causes one to be convicted of sin and realizes they need a savior. Some of those lost sheep are held up by the enemy because we have not let the ones equipped loose to do what God has said and called them to do.

I am reminded obedience brings forth Divine Breakthrough - He learned obedience by the things He suffered. He suffered death obeying His father and on the third day brought forth victory over the very death he suffered...to never suffer again!!!

And not just for Him but for US.. He fed to His sheep the promise of not suffering death by giving us eternal life...

My Goodness beloved... if we could just grab this truth, that we have in our lives the ability to obey the father by taking up our cross and dying to self arising in victory conquering the very thing that appears to be defeating us. We not only defeat the thing that is coming against us but we defeat it in our children and the generations to come simply by our obedience and His victory...

How can we not enjoy this season of apostolic blessing and truly step into our destiny.

Awaken and Arise for your light has come and the glory of the Lord  shines upon you.

Be blessed, be thankful, and be loved, and most of all Believe

God Bless
