Rejoice and be glad, for the Lord Your God is WITH YOU!

Great and awesome is His name!

Mighty is HE Who is with you!

Glorious in strength and power!

Awesome in the fierceness of His wrath against those who oppose Him!

2 Chron 30:8 NKJV Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

Rev 16:18-21 NKJV 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

I AM EMMANUEL and I am making My home within you even more spacious.

I AM expanding your walls and stretching your tent pegs.

I AM redecorating your porches.

I AM repainting the walls of your heart.

I AM removing all the whitewash.

I AM replanting your gardens, and removing all the weeds.

I WILL be GLORIOUS within you and without!

I AM rubbing you with perfumed oil that will gradually permeate your being so that it is spilled out onto all who come in contact with you.

I AM eradicating the fortresses of the enemy from within My Body.

I AM eliminating all viruses, contagion, bacteria, yeast, or infection from within MY BODY , MY BRIDE!

I have a clarion call on many of your lives and it will not be redeemed except you say YES to all I have for you.

Main Entry: ²clarion Function: adjective Date: 1841
: brilliantly clear <her clarion top notes>; also : loud and clear <a clarion call to action>

Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life, and you will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER.

So what have you to lose, except your self life?

He who loses his life, will gain it!

What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul?

What is not come, is an escalation in My plans. It is not yet the fullness of that, but it is an escalation of what has been, as things in the world are escalating in evil.

What time you have, use it well to be IN ME. For if you are in ME, what can man do to you?

This is a time I am also pouring out gifts of all kinds. It is Christmas time, and I AM the object of all TRUTH, and I AM the Source of all that you need, so My gifts to you this Christmas will be poured out in recognizable CHANGE in all that is going on around you.

THERE will be INCREASE in FAVOR for those who eagerly desire to serve Me. There will be INCREASE in anointing for those who are eager to have their hearts purified.

There will be INCREASE in provision for those who give out of a generous heart to those whom I LOVE and cherish among the poor and unwanted.

Rise and shine for your LIGHT is come, and the glory of the LORD is rising upon you! For great darkness is coming and I am preparing My BRIDE to rule and reign with MY STRENGTH and MY WISDOM, and MY POWER!

There is an INCREASE of seeing into the BEAUTY realm of the spirit and the things of third heaven for those who are pure in heart and who have longed for purity of heart. I AM coming to do the cleansing. Just COME My love, for I AM enraptured with you! I AM overcome with LOVE for My Bride! I AM RESTORING all that has been stolen! I AM revealing MY heart this year for those I love, and the WORLD will KNOW that I have loved you!

He Who Eats My Bread

Priscilla Van Sutphin

12/18/03

I have been wanting to over and over again watch this Gospel of John.

Each time what grabs me the most is the scriptures about Him being the Bread of Life, and how we must eat of HIS FLESH and drink of HIS BLOOD if we want to have our being in HIM. Then another thing that has been on my heart is the whole thing with Judas at the last supper.

John 13:18-35 AMP

18 I am not speaking of and I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me. [Ps 41:9.]

Ps 41:9 Even my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted (relied on and was confident), who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

[John 13:18.]

19 I tell you this now before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may be persuaded and believe that I am He [Who I say I am--the Christ, the Anointed one, the Messiah].

20 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who receives and welcomes and takes into his heart any messenger of Mine receives Me [in just that way]; and he who receives and welcomes and takes Me into his heart receives Him Who sent Me [in that same way].

Likewise I would say that those who do NOT take us into their hearts have not only rejected us, but have rejected Yeshua. Those who do take us into their heart receive HIM. Does that not carry with it a great blessing?

So what does it say about those that are not received by the organized church?

Does it mean the shepherds are not really shepherds, but hirelings?

I think it takes a special embuement of the Lord, grace upon grace to become a good shepherd in these times. It takes eating of HIS FLESH and drinking of HIS BLOOD. In short it takes SHARING IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST…that we might share in His GLORY that is to come. Jesus KNEW Judas would betray him when He chose him!

This is why our hearts must reject all rejection, and forgive all offenses, that we not become bitter or remain bitter when God has CALLED us to suffer with him. If HE trusts you to suffer with HIM…I guarantee you, HE will pour out His glory and favor! He is not a cheater. He is not ONE to lie about His promises. He is FAITHFUL AND TRUE. If He has said it,

HE will establish it.

He prayed for Peter, that though he would falter, though he would fail,

HE prayed for him that he would come THROUGH it! He came THROUGH.

Why did Peter go out again fishing after the Lord died? Aside from natural need for food…I think he was feeling a bit defeated. I think he was discouraged and unsure…in his mind, even if his heart was convinced. That happens sometimes with us you know. We know something, but the enemy toys with our minds trying to convince us that we are a failure, and that God has given up on us! LOOK at these scriptures and contemplate them.

I think, when God wants to take all the RELIGIOUS pride and tendencies out of us, He allows us to fail…so that we can see clearly, that it is NOT us, but HIS GRACE that produces holiness, peace, joy, love, patience, etc. NOTHING can be gained apart from HIM. I don’t care what talent you think you were born with. HE PUT IT THERE. HE IS THE CREATOR, ELOHIM!

21 After Jesus had said these things, He was troubled (disturbed, agitated) in spirit and said, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, one of you will deliver Me up [one of you will be false to Me and betray Me]!

Yahweh is never delighted in the derision of His enemies. He was sorrowed, and still is when men reject His love. I am sure it caused great pain to His heart to see Judas go this direction, EVEN if He knew ahead of time.

Think how you feel when one of your children refuses the gospel. Does it not grieve your heart? Doesn’t it grieve your heart when they go their own route of self-destruction? And I believe it causes grief to the heart of God to know what is about to happen in the judgment on the church, so He’s been sounding trumpets, doing all He can to get through to those who most need it, that HE wants to RESTORE their hearts and minds with TRUTH

in His presence.

22 The disciples kept looking at one another, puzzled as to whom He could mean. 23 one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved [whom He esteemed and delighted in], was reclining [next to Him] on Jesus' bosom.

24 So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask of whom He was speaking.

25 Then leaning back against Jesus' breast, he asked Him, Lord, who is it?

How it must have shocked the apostles that any of them could betray him, after all they went through together, yet they all did when they abandoned him, did they not?

The sheep scatter when a wolf enters the pastures.

There has been a lot of scattering of sheep in the past days.

Many a wolf has entered the pastures of the LORD.

Many of the “shepherds” have not been healed themselves and have fallen prey to wolfish doctrines of demons. But God is about to raise up Those who will be ‘true shepherds’ to the flocks of the Lord.

This thing of John laying his head on Jesus’ chest is so important for us.

He was the youngest disciple, a teenager really when he met the Lord.

And this place is where God wants our heads to rest. On Him, in Him.

That we might find our rest in HIM, and only do what HE does…just as He only did what the Father was doing. And to John was given the greatest REVELATION of all time. Because His head was resting on the heart of Jesus. I think this has another important meaning.

I’ve heard the listening to Jesus part. But that also means knowing HIS HEART, His heart for the poor, His heart for the rich, His heart for the lonely of heart, His heart for the crippled and maimed, His heart for the abandoned, and weak; His heart for the lost and for the “churched”.

We must listen to HIS heart beat. What is HE doing in this hour?

Does HE not care for those who no one else cares for?

Do you really think HE doesn’t see the impoverished and broken, and homeless? The angry young men who are rebellious, and all the pain in their hearts and eyes, when He says HE has the very hairs of our heads counted.

John Wimber used to say “the meat is in the streets!”

Milk is for infants, but meat is for the “mature” in Christ.

There are not enough laborers for the harvest that is coming.

We will be OVERWHELMED when we see what He is about to do!

He showed me in 1989 the crowds of people that would come into the church and how some of us would even be fearful for what and how to do things.

This means we must have our hearts like HIS.

We must know what HE wants to do and how to do it, which I guarantee you is NOT how we’ve done it in the past. He is RESTORING all the locusts have eaten. He is not going to keep things going as is! He is looking for RADICAL

BELIEVERS to walk the road HE took….to LEAVE the COMFORT zones

and take the message of the good news to those who need it most, JUST LIKE JESUS DID. That will require sacrifice and self-denial.

God provides for the work to be done.

But He doesn’t assure us that we will have wealth in doing it.

He said to the rich young ruler

“Sell all you have and FOLLOW ME!”

Did Jesus have a great mansion on earth?

Did Jesus have a bed to sleep in half the time?

Did Jesus count the people attending his meetings

for the sake of bragging of His church growth?

Did he preach in the church or the synagogue more?

Did the apostles not go into the streets and preach the good news?

So why do we think we should only preach it in the church?

Why are we so afraid of opening our mouths in public?

Isn’t it to protect ourselves from rejection or persecution?

We don’t want to be thought of as foolish?

Are there those of us among us like JUDAS who didn’t want to count the COST of discipleship?

Are there those among us whose FIRST thoughts are always on MONEY and how we will make it without money? Was Jesus ever limited by finances?

Is THAT what it takes to have a good ministry?

Granted we need finances…but even when Peter was forced to pay taxes for them, Jesus sent him to get the coin out of FISH. God WILL provide from the fish today. We just have to GO and be faithful to obey what He tells us.

26 Jesus answered, It is the one to whom I am going to give this morsel (bit) of food after I have dipped it. So when He had dipped the morsel of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

Judas was unable to drink of His cup of suffering.

Remember how He told the sons of thunder that indeed they would? Their mother wanted them seated next to Him in heaven!

And He answered, Mark 10:38-40 NKJV

38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" 39 They said to Him, "We are able." So Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized; 40 but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared."

1 Cor 10:2-4 NIV

3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

Part of Matthew Henry’s commentary on the verse with Judas is:

He became an enemy to him; spurned at him, as wrestlers do at their adversaries, whom they would overthrow. Note, It is no new thing for those that were Christ's seeming friends to prove his real enemies. Those who pretended to magnify him magnify themselves against him, and thereby prove themselves guilty, not only of the basest ingratitude, but the basest treachery and perfidiousness.

27 Then after [he had taken] the bit of food, Satan entered into and took possession of [Judas]. Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do more swiftly than you seem to intend and make quick work of it.

SATAN entered into Judas. He didn’t say a demon. He said SATAN himself. Will it not also be so in the end? Those that have said they are Christians will turn to wolves. It says that in the “Didache”.

THAT is what Jesus meant when He said, those that go out from us are against us…it doesn’t mean they leave the church building and don’t come to services any longer. It means they no longer are worshippers of GOD, but have given themselves over to the enemy for his purposes.

Leaving a church doesn’t mean you are doing that.

It’s leaving JESUS that matters to Him.

Not leaving a building or group of people.

28 But nobody reclining at the table knew why He spoke to him or what He meant by telling him this. 29 Some thought that, since Judas had the money box (the purse), Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the Festival, or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So after receiving the bit of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

Another clue to falsehood…the love of money over the love of God.

31 When he had left, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified! [Now He has achieved His glory, His honor, His exaltation!] And God has been glorified through and in Him. 32 And if God is glorified through and in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him at once and not delay.

It truly is to glory when we accept what God has for us in the way of suffering and injustice, and yet are not resentful or begrudging.

If we can say, “whatever You do, bring GLORY to YOUR NAME!”, especially instead of to ours! “ Eat of My flesh, drink of My blood”

We are not to be lauded for what we do as servants to the most high.

We are not to look to gain glory from men. Though men may honor us, we are to honor HIM…Who we know is the only way we do anything right.

33 [Dear] little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now:

34 you are not able to come where I am going.

Now He tells them the same thing as He told the Jews. Why?

Where is He going that they may not come?

Did He mean to the cross? Or did He mean to hell and heaven afterwards?

I think He meant the suffering of the cross in it’s fullness.

He knew they couldn’t do it. Only HE was the spotless lamb.

Before the cross He was glorified on the mountain with John, Peter and James there…with Moses and Elijah. He was prepared to endure what He had to endure. They couldn’t do it. They were only human. They didn’t understand really till afterwards, what He HAD to do to reestablish relationship with God, and freedom from the consequences of sin. None of us could have done it, as we are not untarnished and sinless.

35 I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another.

36 Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

35 By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

Here is the soul of the matter. LOVE. For God so LOVED the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. LOVE is the greatest. BY LOVE, men will know you’re My disciples He said. Not by jealousy, competition, intolerance, and impatience, and pride. The life that radiates the cross, radiates His love.

He is patient with us; SO patient! He loves us so much, He was willing to endure that horrendous suffering and death. Why shouldn’t we be willing to at least what He says?

Dirty Dishes

Priscilla Van Sutphin

Dec 20^th, 2003

I heard “ dirty dishes” and asked what do You want to say?

“I have some plates that need washing.

I have some plates that have unclean food on them.

There are many who have eaten from My table and received good food.

But then they have been confused by messages from imperfect vessels who have not presented the full TRUTH of My word, and even lies of the enemy!

I have said that each of you will be taught of GOD.

But many look to others to feed them with the Word instead of coming to ME the Word of Life. How will they then discern between what is truth and what is a lie? Come to ME, the well of Living Water and receive from Me. He who asks of Me will receive what he needs.

Luke 11:11-13 NIV

11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

There are some dishes looking at other dishes and jealous for what they have received. I am the One Who gives the food of life. Look to ME, not to others. Have I not said that in My Kingdom are vessels of gold and silver, brass and wood. Each vessel is suited to different purposes.

Don’t compare yourselves with one another! That means you are discontented and ungrateful for what I have given you.

2 Cor 10:12 AMP Not that we [have the audacity to] venture to class or [even to] compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials for themselves! However, when they measure themselves with themselves and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding and behave unwisely.

There are some vessels that for years have been taking food from troughs for pigs. They have been indoctrinated with false doctrines, false teachings, and become so confused from feeding on lies and witchcraft, and religion, that they wouldn’t know truth if it bit them. Is ANYTHING too hard for ME?

The waters have become murky, but I am the Creator and nothing is beyond repair for ME. I am pouring out MY GRACE. You have but to BELIEVE and you will receive all that I have for you, all that you pray for. And all that concerns you, I will be concerned about even more. I am coming to make the crooked paths straight.

Isa 40:4-5 NKJV 4 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; 5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Indeed My GLORY shall fill every crevice of your heart and soul. And all the lies of the enemy will be dissolved and you will therefore SEE all the more clearly all that I want you to see, and all that I want you to perceive and understand. Fret not! Worry not! For I will show you things you never dreamed of.

I will take you places you never dreamed of! I am full of surprises and they will be to your delight as you watch them come forth in your life. I am going way beyond your prayers and fasting. This “new thing” I am doing will sweep you off your feet and then some!

Prepare the way of the LORD, make straight the path! For I am coming to make MY NAME GLORIOUS in all the earth. And every eye shall be opened to see themselves in light of ME. There will be NO EXCUSE for their rejection of ME. So ARISE and SING, DANCE, and WORSHIP ME in the beauty of HOLINESS, for I LOVE YOU and am about to AMAZE you in many ways. REJOICE in your hearts, for though the world is heading towards greater darkness, MY LIGHT will shine in the darkness and the darkness will not comprehend it. I am bringing INCREASE upon INCREASE, upon INCREASE! I will make you to SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!

Wholistic Health

Priscilla Van Sutphin

Dec 19^th, 2003 1:11 am

I AM Elohim. I created the human body. I know every cell in your being.

The hairs on your head are numbered. There is nothing I don’t know.

There is nothing I cannot heal. Yet many who are in need are in UNBELIEF.

They have grown weary and unbelieving that I would do anything to change their situations. Then there are those who don’t WANT to be healed, because life has burdened them down, and they need much more than just body healing. They need wholeness in their soul as well as physical healing.

They need deliverance from areas of their souls not yet eradicated from

demonic invasions. Some have grown dependent on the systems of man, and comfortable in their limitations.

A stronghold is hopelessness built around a LIE. Satan is known as the Lord of the flies, and he has a cup he wants you to drink too. Only it is filled with lies and suffering, perversion and fears. Many who have been sick for a long time, and from torments of all kinds are used to dealing with things in using worldly methods, and are unteachable, & unyielding to My Spirit. They are used to being in pain, and discomfort. Many have yielded themselves to lies and pronouncements of doctors and others, saying, there is chemical imbalance, when the “chemical imbalance” is not from sickness of natural means, but from demonic means…and have been numbed and drugged when what they really need is deliverance. Many are sick because of the witchcraft that has grown in society and in My church. Many who claim to be mine are practicing doctrines of demons, and New Age has crept into seminaries and churches and infiltrated the minds of My children.

I AM a compassionate God. I listen, I see the things that made people take these routes. I know the perversion of teaching that has permeated My church. I know that few really take the time to spend on people to even discern what is wrong or pray to see what is wrong, so it can be dealt with MY way. My people perish from lack of knowledge.

Jer 6:13-15 NKJV "Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is given to covetousness; And from the prophet even to the priest, Everyone deals falsely. 14 They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, Saying, 'Peace, peace!' When there is no peace.

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD.

Some think that I won’t heal someone who isn’t saved ! Some think that I am so weak, there are certain things I just don’t have time or energy to heal.

Some think people deserve punishment for their sins when there is nothing in that person I have judged. My own disciples stumbled in some of these areas. I want YOU to be so dependent on me that you do not move in presumption. I took time for people because I LOVE mankind. I used My healing to demonstrate My love for people and to build MY KINGDOM. NOTHING is impossible to those who BELIEVE ! Neither do I condemn people when they are not healed. I AM greater than your limited ideas of Who I AM !

In the days ahead, I will pour out glory. BE careful to be TOTALLY DEPENDENT on Me. ASK Me what I want to do in the person you are praying for. DO you know My mind without asking ? Each person should be treated individually. Bring them to ME. I AM THE HEALER. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO CARES FOR THE SHEEP. Believe for greater things when I transform you, and you will see MIGHTY, MIGHTY MIRACLES. Don’t think with your own mind. Look for wisdom that is from above. Ask ME what I want to do ! I know those you should or shouldn’t pray for. I know who’s naughty and nice. I know who is reprobate and who is ready for deliverance. I know what the roots of their problems are. You have not because you ASK NOT.

There will be increased clarity in words of wisdom and words of knowledge. There will be increased vision for all who are called by My name !

My Spirit will cleanse and heal by FIRE, and many will not even need your words, or your touch. Some I will heal by you singing over them, or playing an instrument, like David of old. Some will just listen to a tape or CD and be delivered or healed. I am stirring up creativity within the gifts I pour out.

Your sons and daughters will see gifting of prophetic music coming through their mouths, through the instruments they play. I CAN DO ANYTHING and I WILL DO many things that are unusual compared to what has been done before. I delight in surprises. Do YOU ?
