A SOLEMN WORD TO THE CHURCH
Wake up, Church, and cast off all that would hinder you, and be united and seek My face, says the Lord. Keep your balance in all things. Seek wisdom and knowledge, and stir up your gifts and arise above the circumstances, and stand on My promises. Quit striving, let go, and let Me reign in your lives. Rest in Me and I will take care of your every need, for I AM your Heavenly Father, and I take care of My own.
I say quit striving to accomplish all the works and the programs and all the projects, etc. If you would just seek My face and My righteousness, all these things will be added unto you, and that is all the needs of the Church. Just rest in Me for it is My Body and I AM the head and I AM in control. Just trust Me and yield to My will. Be not as Martha being consumed with all the things that look like they need to be done, but be like Mary, being consumed with My presence, being at My side, seeking My heart and My perfect will.
Keep things simple and cease striving and rest in Me, says the Lord. Trust Me and yield to My will for it is all My program, and I AM the One who ordained it, orchestrates it, and will accomplish it in My timing and in My ways, says the Lord. My word to you, Church, is for you to obey and let Me be God, and quit being a hindrance to Me for this is a solemn word to you, and I cannot stress that enough. Just quit striving and give it all to Me and rest, and I will remove what isn't of Me, and create My programs through you that will best accomplish My will through you.
Give all to Me and start anew. What is truly of Me will stand, and what isn't will be removed. I want My order and My will in My Church. Are you afraid to give Me your all? Are you afraid to trust Me? Don't you feel I AM capable to run My Church? There is too much that is not of Me in the camp. For I AM God, and I will have My way in this hour, for time is short, and I have a lot to accomplish through you, but you must be totally yielded, My people.
I say again. Let go of all that would obstruct My vision. Get back to the basics -- to seek My face and My will. Prepare your hearts to turn over everything to Me. Take your true position in Me. Put on your armor and begin to march with one goal, one focus, one vision ----- to pursue My holiness, My intimacy, My love, and to break through the gates, pull down strongholds and let My river flow!
We Are To Be Examples!

The Lord is calling His worshipers together to stand boldly in the congregation of the saints with a humble, submissive heart but at the same time following the leading of the Holy Spirit. If we are in a true congregation of the Lord, the leadership will discern that we are led of the Lord and allow the true move of God, and if they don't have a heart for the Lord, we will be booted out! But at least we were able to take a stand for the Lord so that others will follow.
So many truly want to worship the Lord with all their heart but they fear that they would be out of order so they stand in line with the others quenching the flow of God in their hearts. I tell you this day that if you feel the Lord tugging on your heart and you are to travail, then do it! If you feel to dance, then dance!!! If you feel to bow down and worship at His feet, then please.....do it!!!
Others just want a leader that has the boldness to step out! I have heard comments made from others who just basked in the presence of God upon one who was truly worshiping the Lord in dance! No, never move in the flesh to step out, but humble yourself before the mighty hand of God, and wait upon Him. When He leads you, just step out.
For I believe there is a remnant who are truly worship intercessors who are standing in the gap for others to follow their lead. And I know God is going to move in a mighty way through us through His mighty roar. I know He is going to usher in the lost through the breakthrough that will come through this travail. This travail will move nations!!!
So if you want to be used in a mighty way, then worship the Lord! And wait upon Him and believe and He will come in our midst in a mighty way and He will pour out through us His most holy roar!!!! This roar will repel the powers of darkness away from the lost so that they can respond to His love and be saved.
I know this is true. I stand that others will catch the vision of what true revival is all about. It all starts with you as you humble yourself before Him, wait and step out, with no fear of man. This is the day of salvation! Who will you serve, Church, God or man?
Lord, Shake Us, Wake Us!!

Didn't the Lord say that judgment would first begin in the house of God? Didn't the Church just sit back and allow the enemy to take over through our deception, complacency, apathy, pride, legalism, and you name it! We are the ones who are to set the example through love to the world. And have we done it? Or have we been sidetracked by the schemes of the evil one?
In our preparation have we reached the lost with God's love? I have a hard time even seeing it displayed in the church to God's people, much less shown to the world! We have quenched the true flow of His Spirit in our midst. Look at the state of the Church!!! We need to cry out for repentance!!! and for His grace and mercy to be poured out upon us! If we don't straighten out, we will surely die! Do we even feel a need to cry out! We are too engrossed in the comfort zone.
Lord, help us. We are desperate for You!!!! Do what it takes to get us to be the blessing you called us to be.....the light in the midst of darkness all around. Give us holy boldness to take a stand to share Your love. Draw us close in Your secret place. Give us Your burden to pray! We are desperate! Travail through us, O Lord. Come Lion of Judah and use us as Your vessel. Roar through us, Lord. We are desperate for change!!!! Before it is too late!!!!
