High As The Mountains

Isa 2:2-4 AMP It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be [firmly] established as the highest of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.
"My love for you is higher than the mountains and deeper than the deepest seas. My love for you is unlimited and unconditional. There is no shadow of turning with Me. I don't give up on people. You may give up or not have the maturity or patience or wisdom to know what to do or say to them. But I am not like you. My ways are higher than your ways. Don't be discouraged when you lack what only I can give you. Just come to Me and ask. Sometimes a person is not ready to be loved. Sometimes there is still too much baggage that keeps them with walls high up around them. Sometimes they are so broken that love scares them. It is unfamiliar to them. They don't know how to trust. They dare not trust.
I am the perfecter of all that concerns you. So just lay it at My feet. Allow Me to be in charge. The government is on MY SHOULDERS. When you take up a cause and don't give it to me, you then try to carry it on your shoulders. But that weight is too heavy. You cannot carry everyone else's weights. My shoulders are wide enough and My love deep enough to handle anything. You are still growing in love. Wisdom is so important when trying to walk in love. It is important not to be presumptuous about things and ask Me whatever you want to know. I will give you the wisdom you need. I will give you the patience and fortitude you need if I ask you to help someone.
Sometimes, you feel resistant to help because it is not for you to do, but for someone else. Sometimes the resistance needs to be overcome because it is
for you to do and to learn from. So ask Me and I'll show you. There are situations and people who are difficult to know what to do with them or how to pray or talk to them. In those situations, you need to come to ME and I will instruct you on all you need.
My church will be established as the highest in the lands of the earth. I am preparing you My beloveds for the drama of the ages ! There is much to be done. I want you to know the depth and length and width and breadth of the love I have for you. I want you to be filled with the fullness of ME ! I love you and want the best for you. Just come to ME. I won't discard you like others have. I won't caste you aside like flotsam and jetsam. Don't believe the judgments man has made of you. Look to the TRUTH of My WORD to sustain the TRUTH in your inner parts. I am the LOVER of your soul. I do not do things to torment you. I allow testing and I allow troubles, for I know every man and woman, boy and girl. I know what it takes to change the world, the church, the lost, your family, your children. TRUST in Me, and lean not on your own understanding.
The knowledge of Me will cover the world like the waters cover the seas.
You are coming into an unprecedented time of troubles and peril. BUT I AM WITH YOU. I AM greater than all that could come against you. I am initiating a great time of GRACE that will bring in the final HARVEST, and on the back of that harvest will come great persecution and hatred that will rise up against My own. But I have a plan for the nations. I have a plan that man who is not abiding in Me knows nothing of. They mock and they spout great swelling words but in the end, I will have the last word. I am the LIVING WORD. And what I say goes ! My Words have the power of LIFE in them, and are creative to accomplish what I set out to do. TRUST in ME with all of your heart.
Surrender any areas where distrust lies. For there is no other Lover like ME. There is no one else who will lay down their life for you as I did ! SURELY in a flood of many waters, I will see you through. Do not worry about your life, what you will eat, where you will go, what you will wear. For I hold you precious in My eyes. You are My TREASURED JEWELS. I am polishing and finishing the details of your life and character so that you will live out the call on your lives with success. I want you to overcome, more than you want to overcome ! I am a GOOD FATHER. I give good gifts to My children. And this Christmas I have some very special gifts I am handing out. Yes I said, this Christmas. I know some are skeptical that I would honor this holiday because it came out of obscurity on the back of pagan traditions. But should I resent men honoring My Son ? What I do hate is the mockery of what is holy. What I do hate is greed instead of love.
But this holiday is preceded by the Festival of LIGHTS. Do I resent the lighting of lights when it is a celebration of all that My Son is and was and when people sing worship songs to Me ? Why would they want to quench it if it is not a threat to their immoral ways ? If you worship the lights, and worship the trees, and worship the festivities and forget about ME, then of course it has no meaning. But if you do all things as unto ME, does that not make it worship ? The impatience and clamoring is not of Me, nor for Me.
But know that I do not resent you honoring My son and loving on one another and helping one another during this time or any other time. All times should be like Christmas in your heart. Giving should be an all year affair. Giving and generosity are MY characteristics. AM I not generous to you ? Am I not forgiving and loving, and patient ? So do all things unto Me, and I will bless you. WALK in MY GRACE ! And give grace to others. Be a bright shining light in the midst of the times ! Shine, shine, shine your light in the marketplace of life. Let the Joy of YOUR LORD radiate around you. Take a moment to reach out to someone and touch them. Bring healing to broken hearts and acts of kindness to strangers ! And remember how much I love you and how much you are Mine, and I am yours !"
Mal 1:11 AMP For from the rising of the sun to its setting My name shall be great among the nations, and in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and indeed a pure offering; for My name shall be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.
Mal 3:17 AMP And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Ps 125:2 NKJV As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever.
Song 2:8 NKJV The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
Torrents of Rain
Priscilla Van Sutphin

I am sending the rain in torrents and waves. And just as the natural rain washes and nurtures the earth, so I will wash and nurture the souls of men.
I am not a God afar off, but close at hand. There is nothing hidden from My eyes. As the torrents of rain fall, they can mess up the landscape. Mudslides occur, and I have some major mudslides coming…a removing of dead branches, trees and dirt and all opposition to My will.
Jer 23:23-24 NKJV "Am I a God near at hand," says the LORD, "And not a God afar off? 24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?" says the LORD;
It is certain that the rains will come, and when they do, be prepared for new paradigms. Don’t move into this without being dependent on Me. I have a new thing to do and it requires My wisdom, not your earthly wisdom. I am doing things in unusual ways and not the “normal” way for church. I am breaking down all that is religious and establishing “true religion”.
James 1:27 AMP External religious worship [ religion as it is expressed in outward acts ] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
I never intended for the church to become a giant of religious order. It was to become light and salt to the world. It was to become what I was to the world – the Way, the Truth, and the Life ! Denominations are an affront to the TRUTH. I am One and I long to make you ONE in US. But how can that happen when all you can see are your differences, instead of the good in each other ? LOVE is the GREATEST I said. Love is the thing that binds you together, just as it binds US together ! Without love you are just a clanging cymbal…and there are far too many clanging cymbals these days !
Love and mercy will cause people to turn their heads and say, now that is real! They will want what you have when you love. They will want ME when you learn to love ONE ANOTHER. It is in this one anothering that they will see you truly care for each other, and they want to be a part of something that is genuine and real. They need relationship for most of those on the outside are love-starved. When they see you treat each other with kindness and respect and love, then they will honor ME…because YOU ARE HONORING ME BY BEING LIKE-MINDED ! The person who lays down their life is the one who loves, the one who goes the extra mile, the one who cares enough to take time with another. So many have so little time they want to give these days. They want what self wants and not to have to be bothered sometimes. And people recognize this, and know they are not important to them. It has become epidemic in the church and yet people keep supporting this indifference.
When My judgments come, it will be evident who cares and who does not. Many will change and many will not. Those who refuse to help one another will have the candle of their church extinguished and it will be given to another.
My ways are higher than your ways. I challenged the established church in My time on earth. Those who are truly Mine will do the same in this hour, and woe to the ones who will not listen, for I am sending you prophets and apostles, and they are nobodies in the ways of the world or the churched. But they are precious and holy to ME. They will not wait 6 months to get to know you to speak for I already KNOW YOU. And I have given them what to speak. Abundant grace is in store, but so few are aware of the power of My blood, and the grace it brought. They are so focused on church growth methods and getting on TV, and being “successful” that they have lost perspective. It’s not that those things are not possible, but that the goal of the Kingdom is in conflict with that idolatry to power and position.
I AM the Desire of all Nations and I will have a pure and holy and undefiled Bride when I am finished. I am pouring out torrents of rains, the latter day rain is soon to start, so I must pour to ready you for what is coming. Don’t be afraid of getting a little messy ! Better to be a bit messy, than dirty.
Hos 6:6 NKJV For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Hag 2:6-9 NKJV "For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 9'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."
Isa 61:10-11 NKJV I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Joel 2:16-17 NKJV Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her dressing room.
17 Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not give Your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them
