These are the last moments
of the last days says the Spirit of Grace. This is My time. This is the
time prophesied of old. That said the prophets would say, “Oh, would we
had been able to live in that day, when the fullness was manifested.” The
most dangerous generation in the history of man, but the most blessed
generation in the history of man. If you didn’t have what it takes to make
it, if you didn’t have what it takes to be anointed to that level, if you
didn’t have what it takes to stand and walk by faith in spite of all that
hell can do, God would have had you born some other time. You were born
for this hour, you were born to walk in this. You were given birth in
order to manifest the glory of God, Hallelujah. If it’s God’s hour, it’s
our hour. These are the days that Satan has dreaded and refused to believe
whatever exists, but they’re on him, they’re in his face. He zoomed out
and tried his best to kill, steal, and to destroy, but he keeps runnin’
into the blood. Yeah, hallelujah. Foreign, ungodly religions will suddenly
come to a screeching halt. And even while we stand here tonight, saith the
Lord, they are losing their population by the untold millions. I am
appearing to people while they’re attempting to worship God, don’t know
who God is, think God is something, or some other thing, but they have a
heart to know the truth, and I am appearing to people in strange places,
in strange temples, under strange conditions. And I’m telling them they
can go over there and find out about Me. They can come over here and find
out about Me. You prepare yourself. You prepare yourself. For I am leading
people, I am calling people and I’m gonna’ call them into your midst. I’m
going to call them in through your doors. Make sure you walk in a place of
love and not criticism and condemnation. There are going to be people that
come through your doors and people that come into your congregations that
look strange and sound even stranger. Because they’re coming out of
foreign ideas and places that are foreign to the things that you know so
well. But as they come, some of them are going to be coming out of the
braffles, some of them are going to be coming out of the casinos, and
gambling places. Some of them are coming off of the streets, some of them
are coming out of prisons, some of them are coming out of strange
religions, but they’re coming hallelujah! And I will have a people saith
the Lord, that will walk in My love, and walk in my glory, and walk in a
river of the miraculous. Like stepping off into a swiftly running stream,
and step out into the edge of it, and all it seems is just wet. But then
you get out a little bit deeper, and all of the sudden there’s a little
current you can feel tugging at your feet and ankles. And you step out a
little bit deeper and all of the sudden it becomes stronger, stronger. And
you stand back there and say, “Oh, isn’t this wonderful, isn’t this
wonderful?”…. No! Go on out so far you can’t get back! Step out into the
flow! Get out into the prayer flow! Get out into the Word flow! Oh, yeah,
there’s going to be people that’ll say, why that’s the weirdest, wildest
bunch that I’ve ever heard of in my life, who do they think they are? Why
they even, some of them even think they’re God! No, we don’t think we’re
God, we know our God! We don’t think we’re God, we think we’re the
children of God. And we know in whom we have believed! Hallelujah! Be
ready, be strong, but beware. The enemy would try to draw you off into a
pit fall, and cause prideful things, and you know better than to fall for
that.
Right in the middle of such
outpourings of my glory and the miraculous, people will come from far and
wide, you’ve seen some of it. You’ve seen it in Pensacola, Florida. You’ve
seen it in Brownsville, Texas; you’ve seen it in other places around the
world in years past. But even those are not anything even where close to
what is about to come. And it’s not just going to be a place here and
there; it’s going to be all over the place. There’s going to be churches
in this area by the dozens that haven’t got any place to put the people.
It is time for the end time transfer of financial goods, wealth, and
influence that’s mine saith the Lord. And I’m returning it into the hands
of my people.
Be ready, but be steady.
And in the midst of all that, in the midst of great miracles and shouting
and praising, I am looking for a people, and you are it. That right in the
middle of all that, that will stand up and say, “Hey, don’t forget the
Word of the living God is the source of all these things.” And all of
these miracles are wonderful and fabulous, but don’t forget the One in our
midst that brought it to pass, and His name is Jesus. We stand on the
Word. We don’t stand on miracles, we stand on the Word. We don’t stand on
the spectacular, we stand on the supernatural. That is the Word of the
living God. And you are My people saith the Lord. Much prayer is called
forth here. Seeking the Lord. Prayer in uncommon amounts. People that pray
a whole lot, and in strange times of the night. By general public, and
even the general population in most churches, are looked upon as weird and
strange. But that’s the way I look upon people that don’t pray, as weird
and strange. Amen. You follow the pattern of the Master. Who got up a
great while before day and prayed. And then He prayed in the afternoon
time and He prayed in the morning time and then He didn’t go very long
without praying any time. Amen. And that’s the kind of people that will
commit to sell themselves totally out to the Word of God, and pray. Seek
my face and pray. And know, that we’re in this together. You’ve known Me
as your Savior. You’ve known Me as your Healer and Deliverer. You’ve known
Me as the Baptizer in the Holy Ghost. Many of you are knowing Me now and
knowing more about my being your Financier. But you’re very soon, sooner
than you think, you’re going to know Me as the Great Resurrection saith
the Lord. Give the Lord a shout and a praise, this is our time.
Hallelujah. Glory to God, glory to the Lord God. Glory to God. Glory to
God. Glory to God. Glory to the Lord. Hallelujah.
If you will learn to speak
to Satan, your enemy, boldly, if you will learn to speak to lack, if you
will learn to speak in faith to debt, if you will learn to speak in faith
to sickness and disease, the strength and the power of your words will
grow. What is now will become ten times stronger. And there shortly will
become ten times more than that because I am in this, My calling to
increase it. And if you will begin to speak the truth in love, you will
come to the place where you are irresistible where the devil is concerned,
and you are irresistible where the sickness and disease and lack and debt
are concerned and you are already more powerful than you think you are.
And you will become irresistible to where people are concerned. The devil
can’t resist you, and people can’t resist the love that comes from you.
Don’t hesitate to minister to others. Don’t wait for the pastor to do it.
Don’t wait for someone else to do it. You begin now; begin in your own
prayer closet. Talk to those things that have attempted to set themselves
in array against your life and against your finances and against your
family. Be very, very, very I say again very cautious about things that
would try to divide you and your family and come between you and the ones
you love and come between you and your husband or you and your wife in
order to create strife in your family and divide your house and conquer
you. You be very aware of it, you be very strong against it, and you take
a stand and you make up your mind, I’m not falling for that trap anymore!
In Jesus’ name. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Glory to God. I pray
right now – let’s do this, (tongues) Thank you Jesus. I pray for the
governor for this state at this moment. Some things are around him and
some people are around him attempting to destroy him. Attempting to
destroy the family. God is moving to bring the Holy Ghost into the
governorship of the state of Wisconsin. Great Holy Ghost cleansing has
begun in this state. In it’s politics. I heard the voice of the Lord say,
“I’ve taken over the politics of this state.” Don’t judge it by what the
news media says or does, they don’t know. But I do. And I’m working there.
Hallulujah.
