"I want to bless you. I want to pour out My power, My healing, and My deliverance on you

and on your city. But you are stopping up the well with your Sunday morning go to meeting

Christianity. I have and still am calling you into My presence to live there, not just to come visit

when it suits you. When I call you must answer until you have learned to daily dwell with Me. For

this is the only way that you can carry My presence into all of the places that I want to visit

throughout your daily life. But you won't believe Me for this, yet you want Me to touch you in your

problem areas. 

      Do not say this is a hard place, for nothing is too hard for Me.You are the hard place,

and I have loved you and called you to Myself. You let your humanness take you down, your sins

and your failures cripple you. But I am a great deliverer who called Israel into the wilderness to teach

them to follow Me and stay near to Me. Then I was angry with them because they didn't believe, but

instead they complained about the hardness of the way, I answered them with My power and poured

My blessings upon them. It is only My power in the place of their unbelief that would bring them

to faith. So I say, I am come to bless you if you will believe Me. You are a channel of blessing for

others. I want to use each one of you. I want you to see My power and My glory. But I am angry

because I have presented you with My glory, but you don't believe Me, so you don't see it. The places

you call hard will remain hard until you let Me pour out My Spirit upon you." 

     "You have not been intended to live in victory over sin without My power at work in your

lives. You try to understand My word, yet you run to your human counselors, to your judges and

doctors and bankers. You run to your entertainers for your joy instead of to Me. Then you live in

confusion about why you are not seeing My power or your strength over temptation. You are neither

intended to go out without My power to a fallen world. They can recognize a sales pitch and turn

their backs upon it. But when they see My power then they will know that they have been confronted

by the living God. Then they will decide if they will believe Me instead of deciding if they will

believe you. The church has been trying to get people to believe them instead of to believe Me

because they have no power. I am calling you to my power. I am calling you to carry My wisdom,

not yours; My influence, not yours; My ability, not yours. When men see your power they believe

in you. But when they see My power then they believe in Me. This is not your decision. It is My

decision. You have thought that you needed to convince Me with your many prayers to pour out My

Spirit upon you. It is not Me that needs to be convinced. It is you! You have acted like beggars

wanting to receive a crumb of bread from heaven, all the while I have been begging you to receive,

to be fit to receive My power. Israel did not ask Me to call them out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

I called them out by my power, and I want to call many more out of Egypt by My power through you.

But it must be My power, not yours. You can do nothing."

    "I am calling you to live a holy life before Me and before men. But you must use your faith to

become holy. Instead you have used your own power to try to be holy. Is it not your own power when

you live in selfish condemnation over your failures and pretend that I am disappointed with you,

when it is your own selfishness that makes you sad that you are not a better person? You have not

let My conviction come into your soul which would change you in an instant, but instead you make

yourself your own god when you live in your soulish condemnation. I am not calling you to a place

where you will feel better about yourself. I am calling you to come and let My favor rest upon you

and then you will feel My godly sorrow for your sin, and then you will see My power change your

soul. It is not me when you let your souls waste away in guilt and disappointment and weakness to

believe Me. It is not me when you seek the approval of men, even of yourself, and do not come and

drink of the only fountain that would change your heart in a moments time."

    "Do you not see it? Do you not see it? In your wilderness you languish as if I do not care, as if

I do not have a plan.   Have you not read where I turned the wilderness into a fruitful land, where

I brought forth water out of the rocks and desert places? Do you not see that in your pain and in

your life of difficulty I am going to pour out a blessing of My power right there. I am not going to

turned it into a land of promised blessing. I am not going to call you to move, I am going to

command the wilderness to leave. I am going to create a harvest in a desolate place instead of

you longing for a different land of fruitful fields."

     "How real am I to you? How real is My glory to you? Is it more real than your sickness?

Is it more real than those that threaten you? How real is My glory compared to the glory of men

who dwell among you? How real is My love for you when you are downcast by your world? How

real is My power when you lay down in your own weakness? How real is my faithfulnesss, My

Word, My Son's blood, your forgiveness, your holiness or your renewed spirit? Is My Spirit in

you more real than your own thoughts? "

     "If your own glory is greater than My glory then you will not be able to walk where I want

you to walk. My glory must become greater in you than the glory of your enemies and of the

world. Only when I am greater within you will you be able to overcome your own sins and

attacks. If the glory of your world is greater within you than My glory then you will be overcome

by the world. But if My glory overflows your life then it can begin to overflow into your world. It

can only overflow out of you when it has filled you up and become more real to you than

anything else. If you will dare to believe Me and to step out of your own boat onto the stormy

waters then you will see the truth. My disciples could not learn of My glory until they stepped

out. When you see My glory, when you hear Me calling you, then step out into My presence and

you will know that My glory is greater than that you ever experienced."

    "You have heard that those who call upon Me will be saved. But I tell you that it is I that am

calling upon you. I am not a God that will wait forever for men to call upon Me. I am calling

upon you. Do not come to Me merely when you feel like it. Do not call upon Me only. Learn to

hear Me call upon you. Learn to let Me be your God. You will not be My god. I am yours. When

I call out to you, come to Me. When you were young and foolish you went where you would, and

did what you would. You called upon Me when it suited you. Now I am calling upon you to

come to Me. Then you will be able to command the rain to come and the mountain to move. In

the past you have tried to command the adversary and asked Me to do what you would. Now I am

calling you to come and behold what I am doing and to declare it. I do not declare what you

would have done. You must declare what I am doing. To do this you must learn to come when I

call instead of asking Me to come when you call. Then you will be able to call upon My name

and seek what you will and it shall be done for you, for I will put it into your heart and your will

and Mine will be one. When you learn to delight in My call, then I will delight in your calling

upon My name and whatever you ask will be done for you."

     "It is in a wilderness that God prepares His people. It is not in a plush dwelling of ease and

comfort. He prepares people in dry, barren, and broken places. "And I have called you to a place

of brokenness and emptiness and you have wondered why there is no great harvest. But I have

pruned you down so that you could be truly prepared through your pain. It is not in King's palaces

and abundance that you will be readied. It is in a place of My choosing, a humble place that is

seen as an outcast and forsaken. Then when you are blessed you will be ashamed for all that you

have done against Me. You will see how far My Church has sunk into this world when I begin to

lift you up out of the earthen estate that you have embraced."

 Isa 43:10-13 "You are My witnesses," says the Lord,"And My servant whom I have chosen,That you

may know and believe Me,And understand that I am He.Before Me there was no God formed,Nor

shall there be after Me. 11 I, even I, am the Lord,And besides Me there is no savior. 12 I have

declared and saved,I have proclaimed,And there was no foreign god among you;Therefore you are

My witnesses,"Says the Lord, "that I am God. 13 Indeed before the day was, I am He;And there is

no one who can deliver out of My hand;I work, and who will reverse it?"

Isa 43:16-21 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the seaAnd a path through the mighty waters,

17 Who brings forth the chariot and horse,The army and the power(They shall lie down together,

they shall not rise;They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 18 "Do not remember the

former things,Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing,Now it shall spring

forth;Shall you not know it?I will even make a road in the wildernessAnd rivers in the desert. 20 The

beast of the field will honor Me,The jackals and the ostriches,Because I give waters in the

wildernessAnd rivers in the desert,To give drink to My people, My chosen. 21 This people I have

formed for Myself;They shall declare My praise.

Isa 43:24-25 You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, Nor have you satisfied Me with the

fat of your sacrifices; But you have burdened Me with your sins,

You have wearied Me with your iniquities. 25 "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions

for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.

     "When I call for the hearts of men, when I pour out My Holy Spirit, when I send the times

of refreshing, remember Annanias and Saphira. They participated in My power. They saw My

glory. And they lied to Me. The held back. They acted like they were giving all when they were

with My people. But in secret they were holding back. They were not the same on the outside that

they were on the inside. They hid their deception and hypocricy from Me, but nothing is hidden

from My eyes. I held them accountable in My glory. You have not seen My glory because I

would also hold you accountable for how you represent yourselves. For I am calling you to

represent Me before the world, but if you can't humbly and honestly represent yourselves before

Me and before men then you will fall when My glory falls. 

     "So I am calling you to prepare your hearts to be the same on the outside that your are on

the inside. When My glory falls you will no longer be able to hide, for My glory exposes the

flesh, the heart and calls men to account. So do not try to change yourself, but seek My glory and

let Me change you. Do not attempt to be holy without My Holy Spirit flowing through you in

power, for you will surely fall. You will be food for the devil to pick at your soul until you are

finished. You will be targets of destruction as were those in My early Church. If they have treated

Me badly, you will also be treated with contempt and persecution. If you are not prepared in My

holiness you will not be able to stand in the day of My power. 

     "You have seen what I have done to those who followed Me, who saw My glory, but they

did not dare to finish their journey and died in the wilderness. That is not My call for your lives. I

have not called you to mediocrity, but power and glory and holiness. I have called you to

represent Me before men and devils. I have called you to glorify Me. Only when you have a

You can not change yourselves. You have tried and you have failed. I have done it, but you must

learn how to accept My deliverance and walk with faith where I have placed you. I can change

your circumstances in a moments time. It is your own heart that I need to change, but I will not

violate your own will. You must be willing to trade the world for My glory. "

     "When I come and touch your heart, do not turn back again. Do not try to live in the world

and in My presence again. It will not work and I will have no rivals. If you bring another into My

presence I will depart from you. I will still save you but you will not be filled with My perfect

will and My glory. My promises to you will remain distant hopes and you will die outside of My

best for you. But as I have said, as surely as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the

Lord. These are the days of final preparations. Now is the time. Now is your time."

     "I speak to you this way to put My fear before and so that you will know that it is not you

that has done it. No man will take the glory, for the glory is of Me. I tell you this that you may

understand that it is not because of your goodness that you will be blessed with My Presence and

with My Power. What I do for you is not because of your righteousness. I give to whom I will

give, and Ibless whom I will bless that all men may know that it is by my grace and not by the

virtue of man that I am among you to restore to you what has been taken from you. You and your

fathers have given up their inheritance to another and I will give it back to you for it is not a

man's to hold. I have called you to bless you that you might glorify My Name. When you are

emptied and have no strength left, no goodness of your own left, nothing in which you can boast,

then you will know that your blessing is not from another, but from Me."

     "I will gather all the nations to Myself. All those who have contended with Me will be

judged. I create life and I put to death. Is it too hard for Me to change you and to bless you with

My Spirit. Is it too hard for Me to soften your hearts and to lift you up and cause you to believe

Me?"

     "My Church, My Church, My bride. She has not been what she was intended and created

to be. There has been division and immorality and carnality of all kinds. But I will purify My

Church and I will fill My Church with My glory for My great Name. She has struggled with sin

and sicknesses and worldliness. Her pastors have labored and been beaten down with all kinds of

darkness and have not been able to deliver the people. No more will My Church be filled with

opinions and debate and human resources. There will always be dead organizations that call

themselves churches, but for all the formality and for all the lack there will also be the genuine.

Only do not concern yourselves with what is of Me and what is dead. My life itself will show the

distinction. My glory will discern the true from the false. You keep your eyes upon Me. For you

do not know where I will descend, and you do not know whom I have intended to bless."

    "I have had enough of the sin, enough of the temptation, enough of the weakness of My

Church, enough of the misery and confusion. This is MY Body, My power and life in the earth,

and I will not sit back any longer and watch it languish in futility and defeat. I want My Church

to be filled with My glory and to be as I have declared it to be in My Word. When I speak it shall

be done. When I call out to you, you must come to Me and let Me fill you with My power, My

Word, and My instructions."
