Word From the Holy Spirit  February 17, 2004


There are trying, hard times saith the Spirit of God.  I say MY people
look for adventures.  They look for programs.  They look for great things
that is going to be up on bill boards and things that they would compete
with the secular World.  MY churches are competing with the things of
this World.  And as a competition, and you really can't tell which is
which many times, because they blend together.  And they are of such
that no one knows which way they are.

But I say MY people should shun from the very appearance of evil.  I say
MY people that are really called by MY Name, they need to know what is
right from wrong.  And what is wrong from right.  They need to rightly
divide the Word of truth.  They need to come into that holy ground,
that they desire it better than the pathway that they came from.

And they would want to desire to put off the former things, the bad
habits, the things that have caused them to stumble, the things that have
caused them many *PROBLEMS*, many heartaches, many things that their mind
still remembers.  But I want a people that will literally come to ME and
ask forgiveness.  I want a people that will surrender themselves and say,
"Lord, I'm sorry.  I want to follow Thee.  I want Thee at any cost!
I want what YOU have for me," saith the Spirit of God.

They need to come to *REPENTANCE*.  MY people need to *REPENT* where they
have been.  And realize that I AM the living ONE.  I AM the *SAVIOUR* of
this World.  I AM the King of Kings, that I AM the Lord of Glory and MY
life and this life that you live is very short, saith the Spirit of God.

"TIME" as men see it, as women see it, as boys and girls see it is very
short!  It is a *MOMENT*, then eternity.  And I say MY people need to
realize that *THAT* second they are here needs to take *GREAT* pains,
great examination that they want to see ME, or they will NOT see ME.

And MY people do not realize that the things of just touching over MY
Scriptures that I have, many times, even hardens them, the things of
this World.

I say many of MY ones that were once very tender in heart, this day are
very, very hardened.  And they use MY Word as a text!  They use MY Word
to be able to use it against things that they are faced [with].  But I
say it hardens them to the degree that they become very opinionated.
They become very indoctrinated about conditions, about problems they face.

But I want a people that will dissolve *ALL* of *THAT*, and let that all
go, and come as a child.  MY people must realize that MY Word declares
that we must be *FOLLOWERS* of your God.  And as you come to ME as a
child, I the Lord thy God shall, that old pathway of sin that thou was
once in, I will help thee to dissolve it.  I will help thee to put it
back from thee.  And I shall start [you] out new and afresh, as a child.

I say whatever your age is, thou must start at that moment, as a child.
Thou must put away the former habits, the old things that have caused
damage to thy heart.  And surrender thyself to ME, that the Lord thy
God that is in thee shall move upon thee in a mighty way.

As thou shall call upon ME and search for ME, I the Lord thy God, I
shall be found in thee!  And I shall help thee.  And I shall include
thee in everything in thy way, every day of thy life, every moment that
thou passes I will *INCLUDE* thee.  And I shall be by thy side!

And I will help thee.  I will never leave thee, nor will I forsake thee.
I AM the great I AM!  MY eyes run to and fro throughout the whole Earth to
show MYSELF *STRONG* on the behalf of those whose hearts are made perfect
toward ME.  If thou shall cast all your cares upon ME because I careth for
you, I the Lord thy God that loveth thee so much, is it not MY blessing
and MY will to *STRENGTHEN* thee, to *HELP* thee, to *INFORM* thee,
to *MOVE* upon thee.  And I shall even give MY angels charge over thee.
And I shall give thee an inheritance that fades NOT away.  And ye shall
take on the Father's nature.  And MY nature shall be upon thee, MY ones.
And thou shall *GROW* in wisdom.  Thou shall grow in knowledge by MY
Spirit, saith the Lord!

And it will not be something in competition.  But it will be a *LOVE*
that will grow upon thee.  And I say that love, love sufferth long, is
kind; love vaunteth not itself.  And those things shall be *IN* thee.
Thou shall not have to be taught them, for many people, because I say
there will be no hatred.  There will be no malice within thee.  There will
be no envy, no strife.  And I the Lord thy God shall give thee *LOVE*,
joy, peace, goodness, meekness, temperance.  And *I* shall give these
to thee.  And I shall *HELP* thee.  And thou shall bloom as a mighty
flower from Heaven.

And I the Lord thy God, as thou shall bloom forth, it will be MY love
to thee, and to MY good pleasure to adorn thee with MY blessings.
And I shall give thee the gift of healing.  I shall give thee *ALL*
these gifts that MY churches, and MY people lack in this last hour.

I say MY church is *VERY* anemic in this last hour.  There is very little
of the fullness of MY power within them.  And I say what they glean is
very small gleanings, that they are gleaning.  I say it is like Naomi
and Ruth, the gleanings.  They are going after these fields:  there
is nothing left!  But I say I wish to give MY people an **ABUNDANCE**
of MY power.

As MY people decrease, I the Lord thy God, if they shall call on ME, it
will be MY desire to help them, to strengthen them, to *BUILD* them up
in mighty places, that I the Lord thy God should use them forevermore.
For I do not desire that MY people would go off and leave ME after I
have created them!

MY heart cries for all MY children, who should be with ME for eternity
in Heaven.  In this hour I see them as vacating that Day!  And they will
be *absent* that Day.  And MY heart feels for these ones!  MY HEART FEELS
FOR THESE ONES!  **MY HEART FEELS FOR THESE ONES**!!  MY heart *ACHES*
for these ones, who have *LEFT* ME.  But I *GRANT* them MY blessings.

I have given them MY Word, that I would *NEVER* leave them.  I have given
them the invitation, that they could have a personal relationship with
the LORD, their God.  I have called them, that I would be with them and
I should be by their side.  But I say they **LAUGH** and they snear!
They say things when that one that *IS* that way says and commends ME.
They think it is *WRONG*!  But I say it is the *TRUTH*.  I AM the living
God.  And I change NOT!  And MY people that I move upon will NOT change
either, because MY Spirit will be upon them.

And I shall *BLESS* them through the times of hardship.  I shall *BLESS*
them through the time of leanness.  I shall *BLESS* them through the
harms and failure.  And I shall *BLESS* them in famine.  And I shall
*BLESS* them through the time, until they stand before ME in that Day.
And then I shall give them a crown of righteousness.  I shall give them
*NEW* clothing.  I shall *DECK* them in that Day for ever and evermore!
What a meeting it shall be, saith the Spirit of God.  It is going to be
a *WONDERFUL* Day, saith the Spirit of God!

A mighty Day is coming!  And I say there shall be no more ill, no
more darkness, no more crying.  There will be no more use of fireman.
There shall be no more use of doctors.  And there shall be no more need
of policeman.  There shall be no more need of armies.  And there shall
be no need of nations supporting other nations.  These things, I the
Lord thy God, shall provide *ALL* these things!  And I shall *KEEP*
them forevermore.

Look to *ME* all ye that are heavy laden and I shall give you rest.
Take MY yoke upon you, learn of ME.  For I AM meek and lowly.  And ye
shall find *REST* in your soul.  And ye shall be benefited by the Lord
thy God in Heaven.  And I shall move upon thee in a *MIGHTY* way, says
the Spirit of God!
