"Proclaim to the heavens MY righteousness and YOUR righteousness IN ME. JUSTIFICATION means your righteousness is as filthy rags and that you don't have to stand alone, but the blood has made you to stand with ME next to you, having taken all the blame and punishment for your sins on My shoulders! People can tell you what justification is, yet it is so antithesis to human thinking, that most don't WALK in it! You are justified by FAITH beloveds, NOT WORKS lest any man should boast. No man can boast in his abilities, or his righteousness because apart from MY GRACE you are nothing, and can do nothing! Apart from ME, you can do NOTHING!"
Rom 3:22-26 AMP Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for all who believe. For there is no distinction, 23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. 24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, 25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment. 26 It was to demonstrate and prove at the present time ( in the now season) that He Himself is righteous and that He justifies and accepts as righteous him who has [true] faith in Jesus.
"Is there anything you can do outside of FAITH? Of course not! In order to get through the times ahead you MUST understand this for the enemy seeks to condemn you and to trip you up into thinking you need to strive to do everything. Proclaim to the heavens and proclaim to the earth, proclaim to the winds and storms MY Word! Proclaim to the ground to give up it's fruit. Proclaim to the plants to reproduce. I have given you DOMINION!When GLORY comes, it cleanses and removes death, but if there is a heart of wickedness, it kills. To the one who WANTS to walk in holiness, but is so broken and bruised that they fail again and again and are not helped or taught right within the church, then do I just condemn and ridicule such a one? NO!
Beloveds, I tell you NO! I do not! The greater responsibility belongs to teachers. If you do not correct and do not teach the full WORD, then how can My people know the full counsel of the Lord. Yes it is your responsibility to instruct as a teacher, and it is also each person's responsibility to study themselves, and to correct each other in LOVE so that all ARE EDIFIED and taught according to true doctrine. You are a body and cannot just push aside those parts you do not like. But neither can you tolerate that jezebel spirit that seeks to promote self and what IT WANTS. There is balance in all that is in the Word."
Rom 5:1-5 NKJV Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
"My grace is sufficient for you I've said. But it is not to be trampled on either. A Nicolaitan spirit is pervading My church but I will drive it out. I will RESTORE the FEAR OF THE LORD, and I WILL destroy the tongues that wag in defiance of MY WILL. I will shut the mouths of oppressors, and bring down every lofty thing that exalts itself against ME. My grace is MY POWER to overcome all that is in the world, all that is flesh and all that is of the devil! CALL upon MY GRACE in time of need, and I will fill you. I will come to your aide and make the way of escape. But to do that you MUST LEAN ON ME. You must LOOK TO ME for what to do, and how to do it! Dependency in this sense is good. Dependency on ME is the foundation of My Kingdom. Dependency on MAN is fleeting and frivolous. Some trust in others, some trust in self, but you My remnant shall trust in the name of the LORD!"
Ps 20:7-8 NIV Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
Proclaim to the devil his end! Proclaim in the heavens the TRUTH OF THE WORD over your children, over your husband or wife, over your friends and relatives. SPEAK the life of the WORD over them beloveds. STOP opening your mouths in criticism and condemnation of others. Speak the truth, but do not speak out of a heart of wickedness and hatred for people. I hate the sin, and I do not want you to tolerate wickedness in this hour it is imperative to be set apart. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Love others, teach others, admonish others, speak LIFE of the WORD to them. But do not be friends with the wicked. Separate yourself from those who walk in disobedience. Do you know how to walk in a separated life yet be among them? It is possible with MY GRACE. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME.
Keep your mind stayed on ME. PROCLAIM My love for you! It is surety and when you are filled with the knowledge of My love, you can be filled with the fullness of Me."
2 Thess 3:6 AMP Now we charge you, brethren, in the name and on the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that you withdraw and keep away from every brother (fellow believer) who is slack in the performance of duty and is disorderly, living as a shirker and not walking in accord with the traditions and instructions that you have received from us.
Eph 3:14-19 NKJV Appreciation of the Mystery
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
2 Thess 1:6-10 NIV God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you
2 Thess 2:7-12 NIV For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Rising Stars
Priscilla Van Sutphin
Dec 5th, 2006
2 Peter 1:19 NKJV And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
Dan 12:3-4 AMP
3 And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever. [Matt 13:43.]
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great. [Amos 8:12.]
Rev 2:24-29 NKJV "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations - 27'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels' - as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star . 29 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'
The Lord spoke: " See I have given you power to rule over nations and peoples of the earth. Do not think that I will not perform My WORD in you! For I am working to change you so that you will receive the fullness of what I have for you. Be like the wise virgins and continue to purchase oil found in My PRESENCE. For I have nations to conquer, and demons to destroy. I have souls to save from the wrath to come. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance! For My heart is set on HARVEST beloveds.
Nation may rise against nation and ethnic group against other ethnic groups, but My Heart is set on harvesting the souls of the nations and pouring them into your aprons. I need fishermen and women. I need fish cleaners and those who will heal the brokenhearted and downtrodden of the earth. I want MY JUSTICE reestablished in the earth and in places where WORSHIP is raised up, I will pour out My glory. For I come in the presence of praise.
The shakings will be violent, and the catastrophes will certainly gain the attention of man. But it will be the outpouring of love THROUGH YOUR HEARTS TO THEIR'S THAT WILL CHANGE THEM. My love is an experience. It can be felt. It can be demonstrated. Every time I touch a heart, or heal a body, or deliver a soul, it is FELT and is an experience that one who has been under oppression will not forget easily. Still some will forget. Some will not be grateful. Remember the 10 lepers healed and only one returned? Don't feel burdened beloveds for the ungrateful of heart. When one is healed, the gratefulness usually leads to witnessing to others what I have done for them. But this is a wicked and perverse generation and though many are healed, many will not always be grateful, but will succumb to the world and it's illusions. So this power I pour out into you is not to be frivolously given. Seek My face on who to touch and who not to touch. For some will come like Simon the sorcerer to get what they can from you, just for gain, for greed has filled the earth. Listen to My still small voice, for I know who is true and who is not. Listen for My instructions more and more during the day that you may be in tune with My will.
Don't focus on the negative so much as Me. It is MY PRESENCE that drives out demons. It is MY PRESENCE which brings forth healing and miracles. It is in My presence that you will be healed and delivered from all the strategies of demons and men. The wickedness is arising, but also the MORNINGSTAR is arising with healing in His wings, and He is arising in YOU that you may subdue nations and demons. You are my rising stars and I will shoot you off to nations shortly to bring in the bountiful harvest, and many into the streets of this nation which is in great need, will see startling miracles and healings that will subdue the most unbelieving. So BELIEVE in your heart and it will be accounted to you for righteousness. Do not stay in low expectations of what I am to do. Let ME arise in your heart. Come to ME, and lay with ME, and worship Your King, for I desire more than anything to spend time with you. Time with me is never wasted beloveds. Draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you! "

Transient Glory

Dec. 6th, 2006

Ex 29:43 NKJV And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory
Main Entry: 1tran·sient Function: adjective Etymology: Latin transeunt-, transiens, present participle of transire to cross, pass by, from Trans- + ire to go -- more at ISSUE
1 a : passing especially quickly into and out of existence : TRANSITORY <transient beauty>
b : passing through or by a place with only a brief stay or sojourn <transient visitors>
2 : affecting something or producing results beyond itself
- tran·sient·ly adverb
Synonyms TRANSIENT, TRANSITORY, EPHEMERAL, MOMENTARY, FUGITIVE, FLEETING, EVANESCENT mean lasting or staying only a short time. TRANSIENT applies to what is actually short in its duration or stay <a hotel catering primarily to transient guests>. TRANSITORY applies to what is by its nature or essence bound to change, pass, or come to an end <fame in the movies is transitory>. EPHEMERAL implies striking brevity of life or duration <many slang words are ephemeral>.
“ Beloveds, you are only strangers here, and the glory I am about to pour out on My people is miraculous and startling even to the naked eye. My beloveds you have never seen the things I am about to do. Your life here is transient. But My glory is everlasting. Man’s glory is only transient because the glory man gives is nothing compared to Mine. So many settle for much less, not realizing that the glories of this world, and what man gives is NOTHING compared to the GLORY OF GOD. My glory is enduring and it is FREE. It cost you nothing yet it costs you EVERYTHING. People think that if they ask for glory it is this ethereal and beautiful thing, but they don’t know ME. When MY GLORY filled the temple, the priest could not stand. Moses himself couldn’t even enter the tabernacle of meeting when My glory was there!
Ex 40:34-38 NKJV The Cloud and the Glory (Ex 13:21,22; Num 9:15-23)
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. 37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the LORD was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
“Yet man has little reverence for My glory. This is not a right attitude beloveds. I am JOY, and I am LIFE, but glory also brings the FEAR of the LORD. My glory is awesome and fearsome. Ask Uzzah if it is wise to touch the glory of the LORD, or to treat it lightly. I Am HOLY, and My presence is HOLY. I am Joy and Laughter as well, but My glory is much more than many realize. So many limit Who I am and are filled with unbelief that their actions are important.”
2 Sam 6:6-7 NKJV And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.
It would be wise for this generation to resolve to humble themselves in the presence of the Almighty rather than to stand proudly in arrogance and presumption. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM. Not many who are wise in their own eyes are chosen beloveds. There is reason for that, for pride blinds a man or woman. Pride hides sin rather than causing a man to humble himself before his Lord and Master. Surely I am worthy of adoration and worship. Remember that Satan was removed from heaven for failing to worship and for seeking glory for himself. So who do you think men emulate when they boost themselves and desire to build their OWN NAME and forget those who are poor among them?
Such grasping and arrogance will NOT be rewarded beloveds. It is MY name that must be preeminent! The glory that man has is transient. The glory that comes from ME is forever, for you will be like ME when you see ME as I am. We will forever dwell together in eternity and nothing that you know now, can compare to the glory that is coming. The one who cares for ME, cares for WHO I care for! The one who loves ME, obeys ME. The one who loves me will think first about what I WANT, not what he wants. THAT is SURRENDER! So what kind of glory do you want? The transient kind of this world’s hurrahs and rewards, or the ETERNAL kind?
Then come to ME, and allow me to burn away everything that cannot withstand the test. For I am like a refiners FIRE and a fuller’s SOAP. And I will wash you clean from the traces of filth of this fleeting world. I will burn away all the dross, and you will come forth as GOLD!!!”
Isa 4:4-6 NKJV When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5 then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. 6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
Job 23:10 AMP But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]. [Ps 17:3; 66:10; James 1:12.]
Ps 45:7-9 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
8 All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. 9 Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. NKJV
Prov 27:21 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold ,And a man is valued by what others say of him. NKJV

Rom 5:1-5 NKJV Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
NT:2347 thlipsis (thlip'-sis); from NT:2346; pressure (literally or figuratively):
KJV - afflicted (-tion), anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble.
Rom 8:35-39 NKJV Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation , or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
James 1:12-13 NKJV Loving God Under Trials
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
Rev 2:8-10 NKJV "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life .
The Lord spoke:
"These are the times that will try men's souls and that will test the fabric and being of every human. Sifting, sifting, sifting is happening. Shaking and shifting all that can be shaken and sifted. I will cleanse My threshing floors, and I will cleanse the floors of your hearts till they are spotless and without wrinkle. You are counted to be worthy of suffering and it is in the suffering that I will bring forth LIFE inexpressible and overflowing with miracles and healings for all who will receive the LOVE I pour out through you.
Drink, drink, drink deep of My SPIRIT in this hour. DRINK, DRINK, DRINK. For I am pouring out NEW WINE in the midst of trials and troubles and I will fill you with my peace and JOY in ways you have not heretofore imagined. Nothing will separate you beloveds from My love - NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING. Keep on keeping on.
Stir up the gifts within you by laying on of hands. Lay your hands on the sick. Lay your hands on the demonized. Lay your hands on the broken hearted. REACH OUT AND TOUCH someone for the KINGDOM sake. Listen for the still small voice as you go to work. Listen for my instructions as you go to the grocery store, to the dentist office. Look for who I may want you to touch. BE GOD INSIDE MINDED! Think on the Word. Meditate on My goodness. Keep your mind focused on ME, and I will give you all the peace you need.
My heart is grieved over the many who have counted the cost and laid down their lives, still many go on mocking those in poverty, mocking those who don't have the "stuff", mocking those who are not sophisticated. Know that I will not endure much longer such mockery, for I am coming to cleanse and I will burn off all that cannot withstand the test.
Jer 23:29 AMP Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? Says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]?
The FIRE of My burning comes! Ask for the fire, for I am like a Refiner’s FIRE and a fuller's soap, and I will wash away the sins of My people and break the rod of the oppressor!
I will break the chains that have bound My church and humble the proud and arrogant, the greedy and all those who have stolen MY GLORY. When I commissioned the apostles, I did not say take the rich to dinner so they will give you money. I did not say to them, buy all the things of this world to make you "comfortable" and then you can sit and watch the poor struggle. I said TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND WALK! I SAID GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. I SAID, FEED THE HUNGRY, GIVE DRINK TO THE THIRSTY, CLOTHE THE NAKED. LOVE THOSE WHO HATE YOU. I SAID STORE UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN WHERE EARTH AND MOTH CANNOT DESTROY! I SAID THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST. I SAID TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
HOW HAVE I LOVED YOU BELOVEDS? HAVE I NOT GIVE YOU OH WESTERN CHURCH GREAT THINGS, GREAT FAVOR, GREAT WEALTH. YET YOU DON'T CARE FOR THE POOR AND THE HURTING. YOU STORE UP WEALTH AND ARE ALWAYS THINKING WHERE YOU CAN SPEND IT NEXT. YOU DON'T REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF TO! WHILE OTHER STARVE YOU FEAST. WHILE OTHERS ARE PERSECUTED YOU ARE WARMED IN YOUR CHURCH PEWS. NO MORE. I COME TO RESTORE ALL THINGS. I WILL RESTORE MY JUSTICE. I WILL RESTORE MY IDEA OF EQUITY. I WILL RESTORE HEARTS AND MINDS, NATIONS AND VILLAGES. I WILL RAISE UP THE HUMBLE AND HUMBLE THE PROUD IN HEART."
