3/19/06 From The Lord, Our God and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy, For Timothy, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: As I had brought forth My people out of the land of Egypt in the days of old, so in like manner shall I deliver My people once again. For the outcry against them is great, and their tears have reached unto Heaven. Their enemies surround them on every side, gathering strength, as abominations swell in the holy lands making them desolate... Behold, great wickedness fills the entire earth! Sins of every kind are committed without ceasing, and perversion is celebrated openly in the streets!
Great vines of wickedness grow unimpeded, spreading forth abomination, growing and spreading and putting down roots! Behold, they climb the walls and enter in through the cracks, as they seek new ways to invade every stronghold and break down every barrier!... Therefore, with a mighty hand I shall gather My people from the earth; from every corner, from every tribe, tongue, people and nation! And every young and innocent child shall be gone from the arms of their unbelieving parents; behold, even from the womb shall I snatch them away! There shall be great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Therefore hear the word of My mouth, Timothy, and give heed, for it is time: I have ordained you a prophet to the nations, and you shall be for Me a witness, a watchman crying out in the midst of this desolate land amongst a most rebellious and stiff-necked people, saying, “Prepare the way of The Lord! Set all these crooked paths straight!” And like an adamant stone shall I set you against them in the day I send you... The Spirit of truth and prophecy, The Spirit of power and miracles... Established... A rock which can not be broken, an iron pillar which can not be moved.
Therefore, My son, take what I have given you and feed the hungry,
Lift up the afflicted, and give drink to the thirsty;
Fill the hearts of the desolate with My words...
Reprove, rebuke, exhort;
Convict this generation of its evil ways!...
For I shall kindle a fire in your heart
And into your ears I shall speak,
And through you shall I make My plans known.
And some will cry aloud, saying, “Indeed The Lord lives, and has sent to us a prophet! For no man in these times has spoken in such a manner, nor have we seen signs and wonders such as this! Surely this is The Lord’s doing; hallowed be His name!” Go out therefore, Timothy, and walk in the name given you... Honor Me, and bring glory to My name!
Yet beware, Timothy, for there are many who claim to know Me, yet do not really know Me. There are many who are wise in their own eyes, yet of My ways they have no knowledge. Yes, there are many who will come out and fight against you, doing so in the name by which I am called among them. They shall slander you and spit upon you, and seek to do you harm; indeed, they shall persecute you in word and by deed. And many shall say, “Look at this man! He is unlearned, and yet he speaks to us with authority! Shall he teach us?! How dare he correct us! For we know The Lord and His will, we have served The Lord our whole lives! Is this not one of the prophets, the kind of which The Lord spoke about, who would come speaking and doing miracles, that he might fool even the elect?!”
Do not listen to them, Timothy! Do not be turned aside, nor go after them; do not be moved! Give heed to none of their arrogant and dark speeches, listen to not one word which proceeds from their mouths! Be not turned to the right hand, nor to the left, but go straight forward, proclaiming My Word by all manner of speaking and devices. For those who glorify Me in The Messiah’s name, and obey My Commandments, are true; they are by no means false! For My spirit dwells within them, and I Myself have sent them. I am The Lord.
Thus you shall declare the Word of The Lord and pronounce My judgment; you shall surely deliver My strong rebuke!... Timothy, blow hard upon this Trumpet, and proclaim the name of The Lord without reservation! For in My name, and by the power of My spirit, shall you do all these things... The high-minded abased, the arrogant humbled, every corrupt doctrine and filthy tradition crumbling under the weight of the Truth! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight! Says The Lord.
Spring is coming, winter’s last breath is blowing;
The time has come for all fig trees to bud and grow,
To put forth leaves very quickly and bear much fruit...
My son, you have been pruned and replanted in the good ground;
Now bear fruit after the kind I have given you!...
And behold, the day approaches quickly when I shall do so again,
That you may bear even more fruit!...
Each at their appointed time, each in their appointed season...
For I am The Lord and this is My will,
And so shall it be done.
