Trust in Me

Prov 3:5 NKJV Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
Isa 57:13 AMP When you cry out, let your [rabble] collection of idols deliver you! But the wind shall take them all, a breath shall carry them away. But he who takes refuge in Me shall possess the land [Judea] and shall inherit My holy mountain [ Zion, also the heavenly inheritance and the spiritual Zion ]. [Ps 37:9,11; 69:35,36; Isa 49:8; Matt 5:5; Heb 12:22.]
Isa 57:13 NKJV When you cry out, Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away, A breath will take them. But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain."
Ps 37:9-13 AMP For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord [in the end] shall inherit the earth. [Isa 57:13 c.]
10 For yet a little while, and the evildoers will be no more; though you look with care where they used to be, they will not be found. [Heb 10:36,37; Rev 21:7,8.] 11 But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [Ps 37:29; Matt 5:5.]
12 The wicked plot against the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright in right standing with God); they gnash at them with their teeth. 13 The Lord laughs at [the wicked], for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming.
“ I’m taking you through a tunnel of hope. There is much warfare ahead and more than
you can imagine all over the world in the days ahead. So I am embuing you with more of My Holy Spirit that you will be able to TRUST ME MORE than you ever have. You have not been beaten down like the Chinese for years, and murdered, and maimed like the Vietnamese, Laotians and many in Pakistan and India. My Western BRIDE, you are like children crying in the marketplace, we played our flutes for you, we sang our songs for you, but You did nothing. YOU need FAITH, extraordinary faith for the days ahead, so you will be able to endure the hardship and wickedness that is growing.
KNOW THAT I AM WITH YOU IN THE FIRES, I AM WITH YOU IN THE STORMS,
I AM WITH YOU IN THE VIOLENCE AND OPPRESSION. KNOW THAT I AM SENDING MANY OF YOU OVERSEAS. SOME WILL GO WILLINGLY. OTHERS WILL GO UNWILLINGLY. Some will go because they were unwilling to do what I wanted as
Jonah was. So like he got swallowed in the whale, and like Thomas was taken as a slave to India, you will go!
You have been abundant with riches WESTERN BRIDE, and now you will experience
what it is to be a foreigner in a strange land, because you were unwilling to go, unwilling to give, unwilling to endure hardship as a good soldier. Now you will have another chance. Changes are eroding your nations, and you will see great miracles and signs and wonders all over the earth as I use you to harvest the nations. Other nations will come to your shores and share what you are unwilling to share in your streets and cities. They will be unafraid, because they have already paid the cost.
Those who have been willing but held back; there is an appointed time! I have not forgotten you. I am building in you greater intimacy with me through sufferings and hardships, that you may truly react as a Christian when confronted with hate and violence. For the darkness grows darker, as My light shines brighter in you. Those who endure to the end will receive the crown of LIFE! Do not be dismayed! Do not be moved by circumstances, but REJOICE in ME. SHOUT with JOY as I am drawing nearer the earth, and MY GLORY will be SEEN UPON YOU as you go out! Those of like minds and hearts will be drawn to you My beloveds! They will know you because
they have My Spirit. Those who persecute you will be those who walk with a carnal mind and heart. I am purifying you with FIRE.
As My glory comes, it exposes all that is in your heart, good and bad, light and dark.
Do not be dismayed by what you see that is not of Me! Renounce, and ask for MORE OF ME! I am cleansing all that is not of Me. There is also a strategy of the enemy to accuse you over and over, though you have repented. So do not fall for his tricks.
Give it all to me, and do not condemn your own hearts. I am bigger than your hearts!
I have paid the price so you can walk in freedom. You have ability to enter the HOLY OF HOLIES. All it takes is drawing near. Do not punish yourself, but renounce all self condemnation, all self accusation and self hatred. If your body is already clean, by the waters of redemption then you only have to wash your feet daily! I am forever FORGIVENESS. I am forever YOUR KING, and YOUR LOVER! I am not carrying a whip. I correct those I love. And I love you unconditionally, forever and forever, and forever. Throw off the accuser! CAST HIM OUT!
Do not be anxious for ANYTHING. I will sustain you, day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. Rise up and LAY HOLD OF THE SWORD I HAVE PUT IN YOUR HAND. WIELD IT AGAINST HIM. PROPHESY TO THE SPIRITS OF FALSE RELIGION AND ACCUSATION, AND WITCHCRAFT OF THIS AGE. PROPHESY!
PROPHESY THEIR END! PRAY TO BRING DOWN THE WALLS OF ISLAM! PRAY FOR MICHAEL TO ARISE! THIS IS THE HOUR HE WILL ARISE FOR THE SAKE OF ISRAEL, AND FOR THE SAKE OF ALL MY BELOVEDS! PRAY FOR THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS! WORSHIP ME IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS, FOR WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE WILL SEE GOD, I HAVE TOLD YOU! Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened!
I am opening MANY DOORS in this hour. Discern son of man those around you! Discern their condition! Ask, and it will be given you for the sake of the KINGDOM.
Lay hold of the SICKLE and wield the SWORD of the Spirit!
I love you immensely My bride! I am only doing what you have asked of ME, to make you like ME! You have asked, and I am answering! You are tested in fire but you will come forth AS GOLD! I AM EMMANUEL, GOD WITH YOU! I will soon be with you MORE and MORE. I will destroy all that has oppressed you and purify you as gold refined in the fire as promised, and I will make you the jewels in MY CROWN!”

The White Dress
Priscilla Van Sutphin
Sept 28th, 2005
I woke up seeing a vision of a woman’s back, zipping up a white dress, like a bridal dress. Then I saw two large hands and a man’s form standing behind her with his hands placed on her back on both sides of the zipper, as if assuring her, and at the same time holding it in place. I felt the Lord say
I am finishing up the new dress for My Bride. I am giving her pure white garments to wear. She is adorned in My glory that all may see her beauty.
Though she has been bedraggled and disdained by many, now I will finish the final touches and imbue her with My love and power so that all the world will know that she is Mine! They will know that she has spent time in My presence! They will know because she will reflect My character and My power both.
Know that the things I am doing now in the earth will produce a most beautiful bride who loves and cares for others. Have I not said, that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a standard against him? The enemy has come down spreading his filth in all directions, but I have a plan too. I am JEALOUS for My Bride. I will not allow her to continue to wallow in filth. I will revive her heart and heal her wounds that others have not cared for. I will do all I’ve said I will do. I will not leave you comfortless.
Remember My beloved ones that this is NOT your home! Heaven is your home. I am your HOME. In this world you will have troubles, but know that I have overcome the world and broken the power of the enemy. You will fulfill all I’ve destined for you, and when that is done, then only will you come home to ME.
Evil men continue to conspire and pride is rampant, but I AM with you and I will sustain you and fight beside you as you enter into the final war with the enemy! He has come down with great wrath, knowing his time is over and wanting to destroy all he can. Do not be PRAYERLESS! Keep your lamps trimmed and supplied with the oil of the Holy ONE. Keep in communion with Me. Stay beloveds close to ME in this hour. You need My advice. You need My discernment in all things pertaining to all around you. Do not go days without speaking to me! How would you who are married feel if your mate didn’t talk to you in days? Would you not feel neglected? How do you think I feel when you go day after day without stopping to take time for communion with ME, Who is your Husbandman?
My advice to you is to buy from Me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be dressed and not have to be ashamed of your nakedness; and eye salve to rub on your eyes, so that you may see! As for Me, I rebuke and discipline everyone I love; so exert yourselves, and turn from your sins! Here, I am standing at the door, knocking. If someone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he will eat with Me. Rev 3:18-19 CJB
Know that my heart is not to hurt you. I am a God of restoration, not destruction. But the world is escalating into wickedness, and I cannot stand by and see men continue to oppress without consequence, nor can I stop what will bring the culmination of all time. Know that I love you and my heart is ravished for My bride. Come to Me and let me hold you and heal you and
bring to you all that I am! So when you have opportunity, you will have what you need to give to others and to declare My word and be My witnesses!

Dregs
Priscilla Van Sutphin
July 30th, 2005
Phil 3:8 AMP Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed one),
"In My hand oh Western church I have a cup. I have a cup of wrath for those who are wicked and unchanging, and I have a cup for those whose hearts want to be changed. I drank from My Father's cup the cup of suffering. I PAID THE PRICE so that you could be free from the law of sin and death. But I never said you would be free from suffering for the sake of My name did I? Am I so worthless, and the sacrifice of My Son so cheap, that you are unwilling to pay the cost for the power that you so want?
Certainly My hand is not too short to strengthen. But will you drink from MY CUP. Will you drink My blood and eat My flesh as I asked My disciples to do?
Or will you be like those who left after I said that? Will you be the ones to deny ME when the going gets rough. I ask because I want you to think about what I have said, not to focus on man's teachings, but MY TEACHINGS. Will you eat My flesh? Will you drink My blood? Or will you cling to your own life? I told you that if you seek to SAVE your life, you will lose it? I told you that what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul? I told you that a man's life does not consist in what he owns. I told you to store up in heaven blessings, not here on earth where thieves can break in and steal it. I told you to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
But you are not willing oh Bride to let go of your things. Many of you have not turned your belongings over to ME. You want me, but you also want your homes, your cars, your fancy clothes and your abundant wealth. You cling to worthless idols of entertainment and extra cars, and extra homes, and all manner of THINGS that fade away in eternity. I also told you that the heart is willing but the flesh is weak. So I KNOW how hard it is for you to give up things.
So I MUST take away what is robbing you of the fullness of your inheritance, if you truly say, I LOVE YOU, and surrender to ME, then what you have is not your own. You are bought and paid for with a very costly price…the blood and suffering of My Son. I said the words but many do not believe My words. I said that he who leaves country, home, wife or children for the sake of My KINGDOM will inherit the Kingdom of heaven. It doesn't mean everyone will have to do this. In fact many will be like Jeremiah and have all they need, even in the midst of devastation and turmoil.
Oh WESTERN BRIDE you are filled to the full with advantages, but devoid of understanding and self denial. You are full of selfish ambition, pride, arrogance, presumption, greed, selfishness and contempt for the poor & tormented, and you do not realize that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. What will I do with you? FAITHLESS generation who walks in complacency and apathy to the needs of others while the world around you languishes. Indeed the very thing you have feared is coming upon you. For you have been heartless to My prophets and you have spurned My Holy Word, and walk not in holiness, but in adulteries beyond imagination.
How can I oh church allow you to continue misleading My flocks? You have carried your harlotries and greed to the ends of the earth. You have polluted the streams of My church and neglected My gardens. You have stored up riches for yourself in these end times, and you do not give to the widow, the poor and handicapped. You are not willing to separate the precious from the vile in your own lives. So I WILL COME and I WILL make changes that will catapult you into the TRUTH of who you are to be. Many will fight against the goads and be unwilling to accept My chastisement. But you know that a good Father, chastises His children. A GOOD FATHER does what is best, despite how much it may hurt.
I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END! I KNOW THE END FROM THE BEGINNING AND I KNEW THE DECISIONS YOU WOULD MAKE BEFORE YOU MADE THEM. I AM IN CONTROL. I AM GOD, and YOU ARE NOT! You say you want APOSTOLIC power, yet are you willing to be as the apostles were? Are you willing to drink the cup Paul had to drink? I am coming to offer the cup of fellowship in My sufferings. To him who overcomes, I will give the keys to the Kingdom. I am willing to offer all your heart desires of My kind of prosperity of SOUL. I said your body will prosper even as your soul prospers. I said that if you loved ME, you would OBEY ME. NO man can serve two masters. He either loves the one but despises the other. Choose this day whom you will serve I spoke through Joshua. And now I speak to YOU OH WESTERN BRIDE. TIME IS AT HAND. You must choose the cup I offer you, or you will be sadly disillusioned in the days to come. KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU and only want the BEST for you, which is eternity with ME. You are strangers here. But you will no longer be strangers to ME or to sharing in My suffering. "
2 Cor 11:23-30 AMP Are they [ministering] servants of Christ (the Messiah)? I am talking like one beside himself, [but] I am more, with far more extensive and abundant labors, with far more imprisonments, [beaten] with countless stripes, and frequently [at the point of] death. 24 five times I received from [the hands of] the Jews forty [lashes all] but one; [Deut 25:3.] 25 three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. three times I have been aboard a ship wrecked at sea; a [whole] night and a day I have spent [adrift] on the deep;
26 Many times on journeys, [exposed to] perils from rivers, perils from bandits, perils from [my own] nation, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the desert places, perils in the sea, perils from those posing as believers [but destitute of Christian knowledge and piety]; 27 In toil and hardship, watching often [through sleepless nights], in hunger and thirst, frequently driven to fasting by want, in cold and exposure and lack of clothing. 28 And besides those things that are without, there is the daily [inescapable pressure] of my care and anxiety for all the churches!
29 Who is weak, and I do not feel [his] weakness? Who is made to stumble and fall and have his faith hurt, and I am not on fire [with sorrow or indignation]? 30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that [show] my infirmity [of the things by which I am made weak and contemptible in the eyes of my opponents].
Ecclesiastes 9:1-2 NLT This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God's hands, no one knows whether or not God will show them favor in this life.
Zeph 1:12-18 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.' 13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine.
14 "The great day of the LORD is near- near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there.
15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. 17 I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth."
Rev 2:18-3:1- The Corrupt Church "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
Ps 75:8 NIV In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices ; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs.
Isa 51:17-18 NKJV God's Fury Removed
Awake, awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem, You who have drunk at the hand of the LORD The cup of His fury; You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling, and drained it out. 18 There is no one to guide her Among all the sons she has brought forth
Isa 51:17-23 NIV Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, you who have drained to its dregs the goblet that makes men stagger. 18 Of all the sons she bore there was none to guide her; of all the sons she reared there was none to take her by the hand. 19 These double calamities have come upon you — who can comfort you? — ruin and destruction, famine and sword — who can console you? 20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like antelope caught in a net. They are filled with the wrath of the LORD and the rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore hear this, you afflicted one, made drunk, but not with wine. 22 This is what your Sovereign LORD says, your God, who defends his people: "See, I have taken out of your hand the cup that made you stagger; from that cup, the goblet of my wrath, you will never drink again. 23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you, 'Fall prostrate that we may walk over you. 'And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked over."
