In the beginning of 2008, the Lord spoke to us about this being the year of new beginnings and let me tell you, it certainly has been. However, I realize now that God was really preparing us for this season called “Now”. What is this now season all about? What does it look like? What do I need to do? I have no doubt that these three questions are racing through your minds right now. Well, let’s search the scriptures for the answer.

What is this now season about?

Isaiah 43: 18-21

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 wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches,
      Because I give waters in the wilderness  and 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.

We see here in verse 19, what this season is all about. It is a season for every beginning seed that God has spoken in your life to spring forth now. Even that seed you have sown, God says it is the time for it to spring forth now. No not tomorrow, not next week, not next year, but RIGHT NOW!

What does it look like?

It is a season that while you are harvesting one area, another area is growing up at the same time.

Amos 3:19 NLT

“The time will come,” says the Lord, when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine!

Message Bible

“Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree”. Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, Blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.

This season shall produce a hundred fold harvest.  I declare that this season shall be the greatest return the Body of Christ has ever seen. In this season there shall be a massive transfer of wealth. During the spring season of 2008, the Lord spoke that word to me about a massive transfer. In a vision I saw who people who owned buildings and lands and  they were placing what looked like deeds or contracts in the hands of the people of God saying these words “Take it, I don’t want it anymore”!

Genesis 26:12

When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. 13He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.

Joel 2:25-27

The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.26Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the Lord your God, who does these miracles for you.

Never again will my people be disgraced.27Then you will know that I am among my people Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other. Never again will my people be disgraced.

What do I need to do?

1 Chronicles 12:32

of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;

It is important that we not only understand that this is a now season but also know what we should be doing. God gave me 7 keys or truths that we must apply to our lives in this season. Let’s take a look.

Because I am in a now season:

My thinking must change – Isaiah 55:8-9/Ephesians 3:20/Proverbs 23:6-7

Isaiah 55:8-9

8″For My thoughts are not your thoughts, so are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.  9″For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

We must understand and accept that fact that God doesn’t think that same way we do. The bible makes it very clear that His thoughts are not our thoughts. Ephesians 3:20 says that He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly; above all we can ask or think.

Another translation says He is able to do far over and above what we can ask or think. What is this saying to us? We need to start thinking the way God thinks. We cannot come into this now season thinking the same way. God is challenging us to think higher. Proverbs 23:6-7 says that as a man thinks in his heart or within himself, so is he. You are what you think.

My attitude (Feelings, Position, Actions) must change 

Matthew 5:3-12 

3″Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

 5Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
 7Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
 8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.   

10Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11″Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Now I know you may be saying to yourself “What in the world does this scripture have to do with my attitude”? Well, the Lord gave me a powerful revelation on these verses that I believe we must pay attention to, but first let’s look at the definition of the word attitude.

Attitude -manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, esp. of the mind: a negative attitude; group attitudes

A state of mind or a feeling; disposition

The posture, action, or disposition of a figure or a statue

Position as indicating action, feeling, or mood; as, in times of trouble let a nation preserve a firm attitude; one’s mental attitude in respect to religion.

There are three words that I would like to pull out of the definition of the word attitude. They are Feelings, Position, and Actions. God says that our attitude (feelings, position, and actions) must change. Now let’s apply this to Matthew 5:3-12. Here Jesus is teaching about the way of life in the Kingdom. Look at the first thing he says here; Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The word poor in the Greek means- to be destitute of wealth, lowly, needy, helpless, powerless, lacking in anything in the spiritual sense. Now to connect this to our definition of the word attitude t, God is saying that in this now season we must change our feelings, position, and actions towards those who are poor naturally and spiritually.

We must also change our attitude about being poor spiritually pertaining to ourselves. In other words, we don’t know it all or have it all. Remember, Jesus said that the Kingdom belongs to those who are poor. The reason why we have obtained all that we have so far is because we have kept ourselves in a lowly state which is the same word for being humble. Only those who have a negative attitude will not receive the Kingdom.

Let’s look at another example: Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Now we have always heard this scripture quoted after someone dies but this verse was not just for that. If you look throughout the scriptures, there were times when God told His people to stop laughing and start mourning because of the pending judgment that was to come. Those who obeyed the word of the Lord were soon comforted. There were also those like David who was in a mourning type state because of his sins and received the comfort of the Lord. Once again, if we have the right attitude to what God is saying then we will receive the “For theirs is” and the “For They Shall”, that Jesus was talking about. We will have all what the Kingdom is releasing in this now season.

My relationships must change

Genesis 13

1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
10And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. 12Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.
14And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are–northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants  forever. 16And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
18Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

If you have suffered a recent separation in some relationships, it is because God is removing the Lots out of your lives. If you read Genesis 12:1, God gave Abram clear instructions about his leaving which did not include his nephew Lot. The bible said that a dispute erupted between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot which caused Abram to see only where he was. This is important because God told him that based upon his obedience to the word of the Lord that he would receive the whole land, not just part of it. Lot’s name means in the Hebrew veil or covering. There was a veil in front of Abram that prevented him from seeing the whole promise or vision of the Lord. It cause him to just see where he was. God had to remove us from churches, ministries, states, family, and individuals because they were a veil that was blocking us from seeing all that God had for us and caused us to settle where we were. God had to remove us from some Pastors who said that they were our covering and encouraged us to have covering. Well, let me stop right there and expose that lie because #1 God is our covering and #2 the covering that man said we needed was only a plot of the enemy to stop us from seeing and moving. It was also mans way to manipulate and control us. After Lot left, God told Abram to left up his eyes and look northward, southward, eastward, and westward. All of this God said I’m giving to you. My prayer is that we let the change happen so that we can see and move freely in Jesus name!

My perspectives, beliefs, talk/conversations, declarations must change -  Exodus 14:13-14/Numbers 13,14/Psalm 30:62/ Kings 6:8-18/ Job 22:28

Numbers 13/14

God is dealing with how we see, what we believe, how we talk, and how we speak. Below is a perfect example of this.

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2″Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a    man, everyone a leader among them.” 3So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 23Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there.

25And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
26Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

Here God instructs Moses to gather together the leaders of Israel and to send them to spy out the land that He was giving them. Please keep that in mind, that’s very important. Moses also tells them to grab some fruit and bring it back with them. That’s another point to keep in mind. So they go and grab these clusters of grapes, see the land, and bring back a report. Now, here is what I want to point out to you about what they said. Let’s look at it again shall we.

26Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

 28Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.

The first thing they said in verse 27 was confirmation of what God had spoken concerning the land. They needed to hear that.  In verse 28 they stated a fact, which needed to be heard, however there’s a problem in this verse. The leaders used the word “Nevertheless” which is another way of saying besides. By using this word, they told the people to cancel out the confirmation and focus on the fact. Focus on the fact that there are people occupying the land. Focus on the fact that they are strong. Focus on the fact that the cities are fortified (make inaccessible) and very large. Forget about that God just said this land was ours; it flows with milk and honey, and the fruit we just showed you. This is why Caleb rose up reminded the people that they were well able! Despite the facts, through God, there was guaranteed victory. Unfortunly, as you read on in chapter 14, the people believed the bad report and refused to listen to Caleb and Joshua. That generation forfeited their opportunity to see and live in the promise land. Only Caleb, his descendents, and Joshua were granted access to the promise land. It was said by God of Caleb that he had a different spirit. The reason why we miss our blessing from God is because we make our final decisions based upon the facts. We totally forget about what the Lord said to us and the confirmations we received, to focus on the facts. God wants us to focus on Him and by doing that, we will have the right perspectives, the right beliefs, the right conversations, and will make the right declarations. Some things we were taught growing up was said to be truth from God and we were challenged to believe that, however, that also must change. Even our conversations must change. Yes, our conversations are important because it involves others. We don’t want our conversations to be negative, doubtful, and full of fear. These words can become stumbling blocks for the listener. Ultimately, our Father is listening to every word. What we declare is important. Job 22:28 says you shall decree or declare a thing and it shall be established and the light of God’s favor will shine on your way. Whatever you speak is a done deal. That generation in Numbers 13 and 14 were in their now season and they missed it because of their perspective, beliefs, conversation, and declaration.   

My walk must change – Psalm 1:1, Romans 13:13, Galatians 5:16

Psalm 1:1 Amplified

BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.

I can remember growing up quoting this scripture and always thinking that the word walk had to do with just physically walking. Now that I’m older and more seasoned in God, I realize that there is a greater revelation in this scripture. Let’s look at the meaning of the word walk.

Hebrew meaning of walk – to carry, pursue, stand

To carry, pursue, and stand in the advice, plan, and purpose of the ungodly will jeopardizes your “Blessed” state. Your walk is your life. Our lives must be pleasing to the Lord. We don’t want to carry anything that is against His will. When I look at the word carry, it is like a postal carrier delivering the mail. One becomes a carry of words. Think about what people put in letters. There is information, opinions, advice, threats, warnings, blessings, curses, etc… All of this stuff is in one bag that a person carries every day.

 God says in this season we cannot be a carrier of their letters of hate, gossip, curses, offense, and perversity. We can’t even stand with them on issues that are contrary to the word of God. Look at the meaning of the word ungodly.

Hebrew meaning of ungodly – morally wrong, perverse, guilty of sin, wicked (hostile to God), offender

Looking at this meaning right off, we think of those who are not saved but let me tell you my friend, there are people in the Body of Christ who are morally wrong, perverse, hostile toward God, offended, and because they are so offended towards God, they are out for blood. Wow, that really sounds familiar doesn’t it? Cain is in the body and because he is so offended at God, he has and is taking his frustration and anger out on Able. Those who stand or side with Cain cannot and will not receive any blessing from the Lord in this now season. When you side with Cain, you have just become a carrier of his offense. We must side with the Holy Spirit (The Spirit of Truth), become his companion, and walk or live by the spirit so we won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16 New American Standard

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

Like we use to say growing up, keep in step with the spirit so you won’t get caught up.  

My appearance must change – Psalm 30:11, Isaiah 61:10, Isaiah 61:3

Isaiah 61:3

To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

Isaiah 61:10

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

When you see the word appearance, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For me I think about what people are seeing. Appearance is defined as the act or fact of appearing, as to the eye or mind or before the public, the state, condition, manner, or style in which a person or object appears; outward look or aspect.

The bible says in Psalm 30:11 that God has put off our sackcloth. That is very important. The word sackcloth in the Hebrew means mourning. It was a garment worn in times of mourning. God says I am taking you out of your time of mourning into a season of praise. Some of us have been grieving over our past season. We’ve been grieving over issues, situations, bills, relationships, hurts, pains and have carried that over into this now season. God says that the issues, situations, relationships, and bills may look the same but the results are not the same.

Yes the hurts and pains of the past may feel the same but the ending results are not the same. If you notice, the word of the Lord was not “it will” not be the same but they are right now, in this present moment, not the same. You are in a now season! It is not what will be but what is! God has to change your clothes because the season has change. You don’t ware summer clothing in the winter nor do you ware winter clothing in the summer. You and I must dress according to the season that we are in. God says I’m clothing you with my garment of praise because I’m making you my instrument of praise. I’m clothing you with my garment of salvation (deliverance) because I’m making you my instrument of deliverance. I’m clothing you with my righteousness (justice, rightness, righteousness, as vindicated, deliverance, victory, prosperity) because I’m making you my instrument of righteousness. This is not just for you but for your family and friends as well. When they see you, yes, those who know your story, those who know your pain, they will rejoice. Not just for you but they shall rejoice because as you appear or stand before them, deliverance just appeared for them, prosperity just appear for them, vindication just appeared for them, and a spirit of praise has just appeared to set them free to release an undignified praise.

My meals must change – Deuteronomy 8:3/Hebrews 5:12-14

Deuteronomy 8:3

So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

The essence of this scripture is not about the bread but the children of Israel understanding that they could not live (Hebrew - to live, have life, remain alive, sustain life, live prosperously, live forever, be quickened, be alive, be restored to life or health) on anything on this earth alone ( Hebrew - alone, by itself, besides, a part, separation, being alone). I believe God is saying the same thing to us, that we can’t live on just bread, our job, money, relationships, gifts, popularity, etc… alone ( besides, or separated from) God. We must feast off the proceeding word of God.

Hebrew meaning of proceeds - act or place of going out or forth, issue, export, source, spring, water springs

Hebrews 5:12-14

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

If we are going walk in this now season, we must put away the bottles of milk and prepare to eat solid food. In this season, we have to move away from depending on people feeding us and towards feeding ourselves. What I’m saying is that we have to move from expecting someone to give us a word for our present moment and start seeking the face of God for ourselves and stop expecting someone to do it for us. You see babies need that because they are as Hebrews 5:13 puts it, unskilled in the word of righteousness. Babies question a command from the Lord, while the mature just do it. Babies say I don’t feel like it today God, while the mature says whatever you want Lord. Babies like to argue, walk in strife, refuse to forgive, gossip, judge, hate, refuse to worship, and refuse to pray, while the mature walks in the fruit of the Spirit, walks in forgiveness, and lives to worship, and pray.

In closing, let us once again be like the sons of Issachar who not only understood the times but knew what to do.

Blessings

Prophet Brian Pruitt

This whole chapter is a call to righteous preaching and not the twisting of words to soothe the “itching” ears of what people want to hear. It is a call to maintain and protect the accuracy of HIS word and to only preach what is IN HIS WORD! Even in verse 10 we read that just because of swearing, the land mourned. GOD shares that both prophets and priests have strayed and now…all the more so…it is important that what we hear and what we speak/teach/preach to others…is what GOD is saying. It is not a glamorous life built around comforts and concessions.

It is a disciplined walk that must be maintained without distractions—both those we see and those we speak, to self and to others. May this be a stirring encouragement to us all to protect HIS WORDS in this way! When we hear error and foolish burden being preached or placed upon others, then stand and lovingly rebuke. Yes, I would rather be silent than to voice a word of error. Being flesh, I cannot speak exactly as CHRIST but at the same time, I can press into HIS WORD relentlessly with all discipline and diligence.

Yes, the effort to maintain the integrity and accuracy of HIS WORD seems overwhelming at times…but know this, beloved. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. Amen and amen!

LORD, touch me till nothing of self can complain.
Mute my voice if unwilling I seem towards change!
Yes, if this errant servant in sin yet remains…
then make haste to remove me from Life!

For a number of “others” might follow my lead!
They might think “With his choices, the LORD must agree!”
Oh, what shame and what error should someone believe in my words
without reading JEHOVAH’s!

How foolish – relying – on what we envision as though it is “gospel”!
As if all should listen!
Yet only YOUR words tell the Truth with precision!
As such, may my tongue become silent!

Yes, shutter my mouth if such error is preached and delay not correction!
YOUR will does self seek!
Teach this frame every hour until all I speak is what YOU said.
No less and no more!

As HIS servant in your service,
WVW Jasnoch

The one exception I found is in Acts 15:7. I have selected the NIV version though for display. “After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.”

The Election Errors I witnessed this year actually have nothing to do with who was or wasn’t elected, who did or didn’t have experience, nor even who was or wasn’t the “most qualified, best speaker, best team”, or anything like that.

It was and yet remains that the Body is so divided. Divided by far more than anything else because of belief in worldly perceptions. For instance, “Who is going to help me the most?” “Who has the best plan for the economy?” “Who backs my opinion on abortion?” “Who is going to….”  You fill in the blank.

I boldly and perhaps brashly state that all of the questions are at best, secondary. I’m far more comfortable placing them so far down the list from the primary query that they become unnoticed. The primary question which was dodged, mis-interrupted, ignored and many other derogatives is “Who lines up most with HIS WORD and has boldly proclaimed their love of CHRIST as their Savior?

The answer then is for you to compare each of the candidates and watch what they say…and what they’ve done. Can you find fault in every one? Definitely. You and I are just as stained. But at the end of the day, the chosen apostles had no education, were many of them…foul fisherman without etiquette or tact, and lacked the drive to abandon all they knew to take on the greatest “profession” one could have had. To walk and talk and teach…with our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST.

Did not GOD give them wisdom? Did HE not sovereignly spare them from harm on countless occasions because they were following HIM faithfully? Didn’t HE give Noah the wisdom to build the ark and the Israelites the knowledge to build the temple? HIS WORD clearly states that HE did.

So why does the Body of CHRIST fall frequently into the same thinking and use the same decision making criteria on every day…as well as major choices. My wife attended a large ministry conference recently and there were countless people who had stickers, buttons and whatever for both candidates. AT A MINISTRY CONFERENCE. No better way to describe to the world that we’re in constant disagreement as the Body.

Even Nehemiah, as a slave, when he was asked a question by the King…CHOSE to pray to the GOD of Heaven before he answered his captor! That’s an extreme yet very valuable reminder to us all. Study HIS WORD! Make choices which line up with IT and not the mainstream “norm” or even what lukewarm Christians compromise with.

As a final note on the election, GOD takes the wise of this world and makes them foolish. Those who depend on their wisdom, their strength, their ability. HE showed how a massive army with full weaponry could not capture HIS people who were unarmed.

If we make choices based solely on study of HIS WORD and choose others to break bread with who are equally zealous to discuss and share with…then the perception of the World that we are completely divided will vanish. At the end of the day, Pride keeps us on divergent paths! We, as such, then prove to all that we are foolish. By our choices which ignore HIS WORD and rather accepting the ramblings of the world as more important to focus on we have erred indeed. Have mercy upon us, dearest LORD! Amen and amen!

Oh LORD JESUS! Have mercy! We err, yes we have sinned.

Election Errors

How arrogant has this humanity risen to choose things based solely on Self. So our needs and our wants which are separate from CHRIST have been lifted as idols…of which we seek help.

For distant those days are when prayers preceded decisions we faced every day. Now only those things that most bother our senses are ever petitioned…without one delay. Have mercy, LORD JESUS, we err!

Hence, presently acting as though independent, we bask in our options…alone. Thus making selections based mostly on “Logic”, as orphans we stand then…outcast…on our own.

For had we embraced HIM before taking action then as one – united – we’d stand. Thus imagine the whole of the Body of CHRIST as surely aligned with HIS WORD and HIS plans! Have mercy, LORD JESUS, we err!

For each of us separately serving our Savior as well as our union, HIS Bride; this scribe finds our movements have proven as errant… with needless divergence and Vanity’s pride.

So binding this hand with corrective inscriptions; confessed is my part in this sin. Yet may these words written compel our surrender… electing then – only – to walk beside HIM! Grant mercy, LORD JESUS, we pray!

Today He is releasing the body of Christ outside of a building

This is not the church

He is releasing the church into the field

Will you walk?

Will you go?

Will you release that fear of Abandonment?

Will you release the fear of rejection?  Will you release that?

And take up the boldness of Christ?

Will you take up the love of Christ?

Will you take that up?

So people can come to the Lord?

Their ready for you!

The harvest is ready for you!

The harvest is ready

For you to Love them!

You are Gods heart

It’s not the same anymore!

It’s not the same anymore!

It’s not the same anymore!

The church is not the same anymore

I’m not talking about a place

I’m talking about the body

It’s not the same anymore!

He’s shaking you so that you will come boldly in His Love.

He’s shaking you so you won’t be afraid of man.

He’s shaking you so that you will speak with Love and Compassion to those who are in need!

He’s bringing Acts 2 and He’s bringing the Gospels back to the church

He’s bringing us to the place that healing, miracles, and signs and wonders are not inside a building but out on the street.

He’s releasing you to walk in that authority today.

He’s releasing you to walk

Just as Jesus walked

He’s releasing you to heal

Just as Jesus healed

He’s releasing you to feed the poor

Just as Jesus fed the poor

He’s releasing you to stand strong against the religious

For you shall be persecuted by the religious

But He says I am stronger

Than any religious spirit

Do not be afraid

Do not fret

Do not worry

But go after Me

And go after the harvest

The harvest is ready!

The harvest is ready!

I will lift you up.

You are full of might.

Your breath is like fire.

You are my defense and strong tower.

You are my dwelling place.

For it’s in my trials that I see you, My King, in all of your beauty.

It’s during these times of testing that I see you, in all of your splendor.

I lift my voice with strength.

I will not be afraid.

For the Lord comes with a strong hand.

His reward is with Him, and His work is before Him.

Your Word stands forever!

I hear the Lord saying massive release! There will be a major transfer of wealth in this season so prepare for it. I am to release it to those who are ready and mature. I not only release the wealth in this season and hour, but also the wisdom to handle it. Now is the time to put your business plans into action because the world is coming. The world shall not go to its own but shall come to the Kingdom. Everything, I am shutting down! Everything, I am uprooting! Did I not say that I would give you lands and houses that you did not build? For this is the time. And yes you shall see a declining, a declining of the world systems and buildings, and a rising of my Kingdom order and system. The world shall not see their own anymore, their own business, government, schools, and churches. They shall see one fall after the other. So prepare my children to take over. I am calling all doctors, nurses, bankers, construction workers, entertainers, singers, actors, managers, business owners, visionaries to rise up and prepare. For the fullness of my time has come.

Open up the mall! Open up the mall! I will revive the desolate place. I will restore my mall back to its original purpose. For I send this command from heaven. My spirit, my wind, my breath does now blow through the mall, blowing every gate down. And yes you shall see the old place again. You shall see the former place where you gathered in my name, again. For it shall be occupied for my Kingdom. It shall be a place of drinking and gathering again. For it shall not just be a brewing of coffee but also a brewing of my spirit. The prodigals shall return. For I am exposing everything, everything, everything! They shall know the truth and the truth shall set them free from every entanglement called lies. I hate liars! I will finally annihilate that spirit. For some many lies have been buried in the soils of my mall and it shall be revealed, for the Spirit of Truth rests in my mall. The grounds are shaking and over turning. Yes, I am revealing. But in the darkness there shall be light. My mall shall serve the poor. My mall shall clothe the naked. Prepare to take over. The kingdoms of this world have now become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever and forever.

I am now sending resources and reinforcement to you to stand alongside you. These are the ones who have not bowed to Baal. They are full of wisdom and knowledge because I placed it in them. They are the ones the world rejected and my church rejected. The will call themselves rejects but you shall called them by name, regenerators (to reform spiritually or morally; to form, construct, or create a new, especially in an improved state; to give new life or energy to; revitalize; biology: to replace [a lost or damaged organ or part] by formation of new tissue; to become formed or constructed again; to undergo spiritual conversion or rebirth; reform; to effect regeneration; one who is spiritually reborn; biology: a regenerated organ or part, spiritually or morally reformed; formed or created anew; restored to a better state; refreshed or renewed.)

He is reshaping the church into His true body of Christ, melting away the false foundations in us all.  At times it seems as though there is no foundation but when the Word comes we see the solid foundation that He has set us on.

I want to encourage each of you to reach out to Him deeper then ever and stretch your faith out more then ever in this season.  He promises to back up your life with His goodness.  The love of God is being poured out in the hearts of leaders and people around the world to reach those in need of salvation.  As we extend our arms of grace and mercy to the lost they will know the Lord.

The time is now for us to be empowered with the power that Jesus carried, for He is in us, He is in us to stay in us.  The presence of God I wouldn’t trade for anything, but habitation is permanent!  I want to walk as Enoch walked and other great saints walked with Him.  He is beckoning us to come to Him and know Him as they did.  The door is opening to His throne for us to walk in and sit with Him. Let’s answer His call.

We are getting ready to walk in a great authority and power that is going to bring the church into the spot light with true flames of revival and the supernatural as we walk without fear and with obedience in the world as much and more then we do inside the church building. Hang on for the rockets of flames and horses of fire are leading the way.

May it never be, my friends! Not for us! Remember Lot’s wife who (while standing still) decided to look back! HE turned her into a pillar of salt as an example to all! What about for us? HE can cause the sun to stand still so that HIS people could preserve in battle, HE can cause the shadows to move backwards to prove HIS point! Isn’t this clear?? Just choose you this day to relentlessly serve HIM without delay for such is HIS will and your purpose! Amen and amen!

Second Place Shadows

When Shadows dance before us

then ’tis evidence - lethargic

are our actions for JEHOVAH

since - ahead of us - they stand.

By waiting - ever wavering

so HIS work is not embraced.

Thus “Delayed”, we miss HIS blessings

as we disengage HIS plans.

Just as Jonah could not flee

so far that he was freed from service, so we too cannot abandon every

purpose HE imparts.

As such, because HIS promise

means great favor comes with action,

then do not permit GOD’s riches

to exist - from you - apart.

How so? Engage! Most zealous!

Cast Self’s shadow far behind you!

Pause no longer - bound by Doubting!

Crush the fear of  “stepping out!”!

Then shall our LORD - descending -

dance above you with HIS essence!

Yes, within GOD’s sovereign presence

shall your soul be heard to shout,

Send me, send me! Oh, dear Jesus! Send me!

As HIS servant in your service,

WVW Jasnoch

The Lord showed me a few weeks ago that shaking and the changing was going to bring the church into a new government and maturity, a government of an apostolic proportion. He revealed to me that He was going to dramatically begin to change the churches to live IN HIM, and Him in us. Now is not the time to give up but it is a time to die unto yourself so that the Jesus that lives in you can be seen.

Jesus prayed to God over His disciples to glorify them so that God could be glorified. In the process of becoming more intimate with Jesus we go through many shakings so that are thoughts can come into an alignment with His, and that our thoughts would be eternally minded and not earthly minded. As we wash our minds with the Word of God we can begin believing for the impossible to take place around us as when Jesus walked among the world in the flesh.

The word of God has to be the standing authority for righteousness and justice to stand in His realm of thinking and action. God is teaching His saints to be led by the Spirit in a true love, not an accusing love. A true love walks with authority over the evil with compassion but with a plumb line drawn to the truth.

Boldness is coming into the body to stand for what is right and true, not what is desire and selfishness. Discernment in its proper use is a must in this season as there are branches being pruned to the max, so the next season can be a super fruitful season. During this time of pruning we realized (the community we gather with) that there is a plain line of good and evil, black and white, truth and false, etc.

God began showing us scripture for the past weeks about an impending judgment upon His temple and showing us on what the He was going to Judge and what tables were going to be tipped. He was going to bring judgment upon words that were false, words that were empty, words that were negative, words that were death to others, and those who repay evil for good (curses). He showed me that He was going to reveal those who loved evil more then good. In other words they give more credit to the bad things (to the devil) rather then attending to the goodness of God.

As I was speaking one Saturday night, I had an open vision of a chalk line being snapped and the dust rising from the snap. I spoke forth what I seen but didn’t realize what the impact of the meaning to the fullness of what it meant was. But then a couple weeks later the reality came, and I saw the line but with dust still swirling. Then a week later I could see the line plainly.

The Lord was saying, “I am releasing my judgment upon the church and there will be those who get lost in the dust and can’t find their way, and then there are those who know to stand in the Word and will be found on God’s side of the line waiting on Him to reveal the next season.” The dust finally settling was Him wiping the dust off of our feet to walk into the next season with freedom and one of the greatest times in the body of Christ yet to be seen in this generation.

Below is scripture He released and continues to confirm His word in action and through other prophets and apostles.
Eph 5:1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [Ezek. 20:41.]
Eph 5:3 But immorality (sexual vice) and all impurity [of lustful, rich, wasteful living] or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints (God’s consecrated people).
Eph 5:4 Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].
Eph 5:5 For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]–for he [in effect] is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments [for these sins], for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience.
Eph 5:7 So do not associate or be sharers with them.
2Ti 2:14 Remind [the people] of these facts and [solemnly] charge them in the presence of the Lord to avoid petty controversy over words, which does no good but upsets and undermines the faith of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
2Ti 2:16 But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their teaching [will devour; it] will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus,
2Ti 2:23 But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels.
And the books of 1 John, 2 John and 3 John and the WHOLE book of Jude.

The spirit of error and the spirit of truth are revealed by those who confess that Jesus Christ came in the Flesh and died for our sins and was raised three days later.

When you study the word “confess,” you will see that it is not meaning just saying that confession but it means a life that confesses the truth. Even demons can say that Jesus is the Son of God, but they can not confess a life and living testimony of Jesus. This is how we have so many false conversions and salvations that don’t stand.

The life will line up with the word of God through their intimacy with Him. Does this mean we go searching for those who may have sinned or may not line up with the Word? Absolutely not. We walk seeking the goodness of God in everyone, until the Lord brings His chalk line and the light will shine upon the darkness and it will flee.

As soon as the light or truth is applied to the darkness, there is no argument in His kingdom. When a light switch is turned on, the darkness doesn’t say, “I am not ready to go yet, you will have to wait.” No, it leaves immediately. For darkness isn’t anything except the absence of light.

If we go seeking for darkness you will find as much as you want, the world eats up words of evil or words against other people. The world will follow after those who speak with negative words.

1Jn 4:5 These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world’s language and the world eats it up.

The Lord spoke to me something that made my mind up to lay my life down for a friend. He said, “Loosing yourself in a cause larger then yourself is like laying your life down for a friend or loving your neighbor as thyself.”

When someone tries to tear someone else down when they have done well, make the decision to stand for what is right and true. Delusion and lies begin to be exposed and the true manifestation will be there to speak the truth. The next time someone wants to create a grape vine, tell them, “I live on the true vine. “

Make a stand to live IN HIM not someone’s expectation of you. If you aren’t received, wipe the dust from your feet, forgive, and move onto the next thing God wants you to do.
