“Show us YOUR’ POWER, LORD”!
It was already the third day in a row that the Lord came to visit us, the first day was a Shabbat and it simply came as the Glory of God who touched us and ministered to us. We just laid in the Glory all day, soaking in the anointing.
The second day began after we took Communion and as we started to Praise the Lord. The CD was on and Show your Power was playing, and we began to sing and praise God as suddenly His manifest Power came and shook us to the core, and for an hour and a half it was true Revival in us both.
The third day was as we began our prayer time during the afternoon. He touched us with His Power, Glory and Fire and then the Holy Spirit gave Charlotte my precious wife the following Visions and Words:
It began, that Charle’ saw a Black Horse, with a white Star coming towards her. He must have been the one who brought us the message from the Throne Room of the Lord.
He didn’t talk to me as a human, but I know when I see the Angels to be still before the Lord and wait and sure enough the Lord started talking to me:
The Father Speaks
“This is an hour for great destruction on the earth. Fear not, He has sent many warnings through His Prophets and no one listened, no one listened, no one makes preparation, no one repented and no one gets out of my way. Then I heard Him say “they better get out of my way.”
Some of the destruction will come out through your hands in the form of Rebukes the Lord told me. You are right about Ananias and Saphira; they were forerunners for the evil hearts, of today’s evil men.
*It was a few days ago, as we where praying, that the Holy Spirit said, He is going to shake Switzerland to its Foundation. They will hear My Voice again; they will know that I am moving on the earth. I told you I am shaking Switzerland and Israel!
The evil hearts of men have waxed so bad, so fast, they forced Me to act quicker than I had planned, and the gameless are gameless and are losing their game.
The sickles are moving and the tares are falling and the evil is exposed. And My people will be able to see who is standing next to them. Everything will be made plain. The Spirit of Understanding will be released, so people where ever they are, they will understand.
In the days of Noah they where without understanding, (they where dying of fear), there was no repentance, no grace.
THEN SUDDENLY I SAW GOD STAND UP FROM HIS THRONE and everything everywhere shook. Planets where released out of their holds. The Heavens are crying out, everything is changing order, swinging out of place like if a pendulum of a clock would suddenly swing out higher from side to side.
There is a great understanding coming, thank you Lord. Your River is being released; everything is pushed back and opened up for His Rivers that are being released.
Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe! The Holy Spirit is grieving. I saw the Holy Spirit going through the earth and they are rejecting Him.
Later when we had taken a break, where eating something as at the end of our supper, my wife sees an Angel standing behind me and as she tells me I turn around and at that moment we heard: “Take off your shoes, because its Holy ground!” So we both did. We went back to the living room, where we had been praying before and the Holy Spirit continued to speak, maybe we can say, pouring out His heart:
God’s Warning
God has no knights in His Kingdom and if they continue, He will remove their tongues from their bodies and there Voices from the Earth.
His Mercy is new every morning, great is His faithfulness.
He is at the end of His mercy for those who are telling lies. They are lying against the Lord! They are lying against the Lord! They are lying against the Lord! He will not contend with them any longer, finish!
Those who walk with God and fear His name will not be consumed with His wrath, but shall be filled with His joy and happiness and laughter powerfully.
God said “I have not to justify My wrath, nor My anger, nor My Judgments!
There is a falling away, there is a falling away, there is a falling away, there is a falling away, there is a falling away, there is a falling away, and there is a falling away!
What a mighty God we serve, Angels bow before Him, Heaven and Earth adores Him, great is thy faithfulness O God!
“I Am cutting down the Apostolic Tree”
Word given by the Lord on the 4th day of visitation
April 2009 to Ueli & Charle’ Surbeck
We were having a wonderful time of Worship and the power of God fell on me and I started to sing like I have never sang before, and I remember the freedom was incredible and the power of God started to fall on me and I started having a unique visitation of the Lord and He spoke very loud to me and said:
“I AM CUTTING DOWN THE APOSTOLIC TREE; it has become rotten to me.”
He said “They are lying about Me, they are saying I said this and I said that” then I saw the Lord standing alone and all of a sudden in a very rapid motion, right next to Him a very large tree fell down and its giant roots had come out of the ground in a very powerful way, and with the wave of his arm I saw Him cutting the tree into large slices, starting at the roots and some pieces were thrown to the right side and others were thrown into a giant bonfire, that was tended by the angels.
“They are all Merchandising they have became Moneychangers in the House of God.”
He said, “There are ones (certain Apostles) I am sparing but I will establish them in My own way and in My own time, but they will have to change, they cannot stay where they are and walk with Me.”
“I am NOW setting in place the Apostles I have raised for this hour. The ones I have sanctified and I will replace the rotten ones with the pure golden vessels that I have raised up for this hour. This is a new Apostolic Tree, and it comes to bear much fruit for My Kingdom.”
I was still in the Spirit and suddenly I was prompted by the Holy Sprit to cry out to the Lord for the Mantle one of the well known Ministers that had recently thrown it away, I said Lord I want that Mantle, that was thrown away… and as a husband who witnessed what happened at that moment I can tell, that my wife when she prayed that prayer, immediately received something very powerfully from the Lord! It is the kind of prayer my wife and I together often pray and many times I witnessed how the Lord answers that prayer right away and very powerfully!
Interpretation and some Explanations
I need to say this word is very challenging to us first of all and we want to receive it in the way, Lord give us the Grace and Mercy to walk in it faithfully and do all the changes in us, which are necessary, so we will not be found wanting, but can receive the Grace and Mercy we need to be Your servants in the Harvest today and tomorrow!
The reason we pass these words on to you is because we received them not just for us, but for the Body of Christ and we like to share them exactly the way we received them, with the exception, that a few sentences are taken out which where very personal words either to us or to certain people we want to talk to personally. We share as well the interpretation how we understand these words, which does not exclude at all other meanings and understandings to some of these words! Very often the Lord gives the deepest interpretation to a Prophetic/Apostolic Word to another person who can see it from another angle and through a different anointing and if the Lord gives you an important thought to it, then please share it with us. So here a few thoughts:
The Black Horse
The reason the Lord sent a Black Horse is, because this message carries Apostolic Authority and Power, God is releasing today in the earth to build His Kingdom and to remind us, that we are entering into the season and year where the Rider of the Black Horse, Revelation 6 and Zechariah 6 are riding and accomplishing His work.
We had briefly began to pray for the year 2009, in the beginning of January and the only word the Lord had given us at that moment was the Title, He said, the Year 2009 is the Year of the Vengeance of the Lord, but it was not time to reveal more to us. May you ask yourselves why the Vengeance of the Lord, isn’t there something more sweet or positive? Well I believe this word is very encouraging, because the true meaning of the Vengeance of the Lord is that it is time for Him to throw the devil out of His camp and lead His people into greater Victory than we ever had, to bring in the Harvest on the earth and to execute Judgment on Babylon and on all those who play games!
The Feast of Tabernacle 2008 had a very powerful logo, expressing exactly the heart of the Lord for this year 2009, the roaring Lion of Judah. Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” Since the beginning of the New Year beginning of October we saw the results happening of the Lion of Judah roaring, the Stock market received its second blow and just two months later the Lord began dealing with Gaza, and keeps on dealing in His Body as well as in the Nations. And He still roars, may He give you the Grace to receive His roar and enter into His plans and purposes today, it is most awesome of what God is doing today!
Just as we came to Jerusalem for the Feast in 2008 we met our friend just inside the old city and he saw my Shofar that I had painted a Lion on and he wanted me to paint a Roaring Lion from the Brochure of the Feast on the end of 4 different Shofar’s and I did as a Prophetic Act and the Shofar’s were sold at the Feast and are now roaring today in the nations. Amen!
Rebukes
One of the ways God will bring cleansing in His Body in this hour is through rebukes. If we look through Old and New Testament, there is more then the Ministry of Encouragement we all so much appreciate, we are in a season, where God will use His true Ministers to speak out some heavy rebukes and we had better listen to what they have to say, because it will save the lives of many, maybe some Churches, Ministries or even the lives of some Kings!
The Father standing up from His Throne
The part where my wife saw the Father standing up from His throne is very powerful, we have to understand, what she saw in the Spirit will manifest at a certain time in the earth and will have far greater consequences then we have ever seen, the only words to it are, may You have Mercy on us Lord!
Now is the judgment of this world now the ruler of this world will be cast out. John 12: 31
The cutting of the Apostolic Tree
The second thing we need to understand is the fact, that God wants to bring in a Harvest, but there is so much lukewarmness and twisting in the Body of Christ, that the Lord’s greatest problem is, how to bring the Harvest in, clean it up and keep it safe! This must be the reason, that He starts the cleaning among His Apostles who are supposed to be His most humble and most powerful servants, and if there is a twisting among them, then it is in the whole Body and if He can fix it among the Apostles, then the clean up will also affect the whole Body! God hates those who overlord in His Kingdom, and this year he will deal with all those who have turned to become modern Knights and Overlords, which means they operate out of a spirit of pride, arrogance and ultimately an antichrist spirit. Maybe its one major reason He is cutting down the Apostolic Tree beside the aspect of merchandising.
When I was pondering during the past few days concerning the Word how He is cutting the Apostolic tree, the Holy Spirit remembered me a precious memory. We went to visit a man in the Hospital; it was the husband of somebody my wife knew. He was supposed to be operated the next day and part of his leg taken off. We prayed and the passage the Lord gave us was Ezekiel 36, where it says how the Lord takes the heart of stone out of His people and gives them a new heart of flesh and so we prayed that for him and of course we prayed also for a miracle of healing. Well it did happen to a degree, the doctors the next day said, how good his heart was, better as usual. They still had to amputate part of his leg, but the second leg, which was in danger was saved, Praise the Lord. As we visited him later he gave testimony, how the operation and what he went through brought Him back from a lukewarm state back to the Lord, full of Praise and thankfulness because of His goodness and Mercy.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” John 15, 1 and 2
I feel that’s the reason, the Lord is taking His knife and doing a deep operation in the Apostolic tree, to bring back on track, what is of Him! It is true, there is much Apostolic pride, over lordship and merchandising that became normal in the Apostolic tree, including the Body of Christ, twisting Gods Power and Glory and God hates it! This is an hour, where we need to humble us a fresh before the Lord and ask Him to clean us and change us and do all the changes in our service unto Him, regardless if it is preaching on the highest level or cleaning the Restrooms at the Church!
The Merchandising
When we received the Word, the Lord gave us a warning to speak out to three leaders in America as the only warning they will get, and we will do this privately first, and the issue is merchandising.
Do we remember that the First World War was over an offering and 25 % of the World population on the earth of that time was killed; Abel!
Sacrifice and Offerings is a very important Issue in the Kingdom of God!
God hates merchandising and Jesus expressed this point very clear, as he drove the moneychangers out of the Temple. But today it has become so common place that you see it everywhere in the Body of Christ. There is a demand for it at all the big conferences. How many conferences today and how many Churches have modern day tax collectors seated at the place of entry, its just disgusting. Some of the big Churches today have their stores right in the Sanctuary!
Most Mega Churches depend on the revenue from their merchandising.
But the Lord says today:
Isaiah 55:1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”
So what right does any Minister in the Body of Christ has to sell or profit and to fill budgets through merchandising the word of God? So what is it in fact? It is a form of greed, the love of money expressed in the form of a supposed need to preach the Gospel.
The Lord clearly stated in His Word that the love of money and greed this will be one of the main issues in the end times and expression of the operation of the spirit of antichrist and God hates it exactly like He hated Cain’s offering! There is nothing more twisted to true Offerings as merchandising the Revelations God has given to His Body. The real Church is not a business, but a Ministry!
God wants the very simple principle of freely preaching His word freely and the walk of His servants and His Body in unpolluted faith to be restored, as well as true offerings, as expressions of our love to Him!
Money is a very important issue in the Body of Christ and reflects our character, the question is, and do we truly carry the Fruit of the Spirit in our dealing with finances to use them wisely and without greed, fear and selfishness. A second big question is do we sow into His Kingdom by the leading of the Holy Spirit, or do we use the power of wealth given to us to play religious politics?! Many millions are given today to places where nothing should be given, or with other words is like seed thrown into gravel pits instead of sown into good ground, ready for great Harvest and this has to change!
God requires today that true offerings being taken in His Kingdom as an expression of our worship to our Lord exactly like Abel offered a true sacrifice to the Lord, and he gave his best and the Lord requires the same from us today! And you know what, Abel didn’t became a millionaire, he was killed, but has a great reward in Heaven of what he offered to the Lord and is remembered for ever by every Generation through the past and the once to come!
The Offerings God requires today are great and they are first of all, so He can bless His Body who is giving in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit! If there was ever a time God requires from us to give it all is today, so He can pour abundant blessings on us beyond measure, like Paul said; Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Philippians 4:17
And how and when He will give the reward to us is totally up to Him!
Psalm 109 / Acts 1
After Jesus ascended on High and commanded the disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit to be released, something very important took place. A man, called Matthias was chosen to fill the vacant place among the Apostles, like it was prophesied in Psalm 69 and 109.
Verse 7, Let his days be few, and let another take his office.
I feel this is a picture of the change which is taking place among the Apostles of today as well as the Body of Christ! Some who have been wanting and in sin without repentance for a long time are taken out and some who had been in preparation faithfully and waiting in the background are promoted and established!
Verse 26 – 28 Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That they may know that this is Your hand – That You, Lord, have done it! Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, but let Your servant rejoice.
The release of Mantles from Heaven!
Yes we are in an hour; God is giving Mantles to many people who are hidden in caves. Mantles of old and Mantles some people carried until very recently and suddenly threw them away and God wants this jobs to be finished and His Kingdom to be built, that’s why He redistributes some of the Mantles and if you are hungry for more ask Him and He will give you as much as you can carry.
About a months ago in one of the Revival services we had in Hamburg, the Lord led us in particular preach on this Issue and to my great surprise at the end of the Message, when we began praying for people, one of the believers had a Vision and saw the Angels coming in, with Mantles prepared for each person. This is something God is doing, because He wants His Kingdom completed in this Hour and the Mantles He released on earth through the centuries fulfilling their purpose! And to complete the Mission every Mantle ever given during Old and New Testament time has to be completed and fulfilled in our Generation so His work can be completed. It is time to reach out to Him and ask Him for more, I am sure He has something for you in this hour to fulfill and complete!
His Rivers are falling
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1
One of the words the Holy Spirit gave us over these past few months was, “My Rivers are falling.” We began pondering and praying and suddenly realized, that He talks about the fresh outpouring of His Spirit. The Lord led us to a Waterfall the (Rheinfall) to give us an illustration… It was tangible and most awesome when you see it with your own eyes and receive it at the same time in the Spirit…Yes He has more than drops of refreshing and the latter rain of His Spirit, He has Mighty Rivers of living Water He is releasing to those who are Hungry and make room for His Spirit today.
Yes we are in a season of the greatest Pentecost ever in History, with an anointing fresh and powerful like we have never seen on earth. It is not a matter to know it intellectually, but something to receive it every time you pray or gather in His Name!
Receive it in the Name of Jesus! The great tragedy is that the number of people who realize it and take it is far too little, because in Gods store room is enough for everybody and the time to receive it is NOW or never!
We all at a certain moment in our lives have quenched the Holy Spirit, including me, but this is the hour to repent and to make room for the operation, leading of the Holy Spirit like never before and ask Jesus to release the Rivers of living water over and through us, because this is the Hour where He is releasing them with such power like we have never seen, it is a new baptism of His Spirit we all need! We need to yield to Him and cry out to Him and receive them when they come, including of what He is saying! What He says today will offend our flesh, Praise God and hopefully you like that, because it will sanctify you in a deeper way! Come and buy without money, it is now the time, to be filled a fresh including all of our vessels in our spiritual storeroom shall be overflowing, so we can share at the appointed time!
It is our Prayer for you right now, that God is releasing the New Anointing, His Rivers and New Mantles into your life and it is our Prayer, that this word will connect you a fresh with the Heart of the Father and that His love, His Power and Glory will flood your life like never before, turn you upside down and inside out to be a vessel of gold to release His Glory!
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 and 24.
