I received the word
from the Lord on May 4, 2016. I was on
vacation, yet as usual I always get up
before sunrise to muse upon the Lord, to
sit and breathe Him in and wait upon Him.
On the morning of May 3rd, the day before
I received this word, I arose as I said as
usual. Yet as soon as I woke up I felt the
unmistakable presence of the Lord. Now let
me say this.
The presence of the
Lord has many different aspects. As we
know, when we worship, He inhabits the
praises of His people. We all can feel His
wonderful presence as “His train fills
[our] temples with His glory.” Then their
are other times we can feel and sense His
presence in a warning. Our spirits respond
with a check only the Holy Spirit can
give. Once again, unmistakable. Yet again,
when we are suffering, we feel Him draw
near to us and He comforts us in the ways
“that surpasses all understanding.” We
know His presence in the class room of the
Holy Spirit as He illuminates passages as
the Great Teacher “and in His light we see
light.” There are many more ways I can
describe His presence, but I believe you
understand and get the point.
But this next one is
the one I am getting at. That morning,
when I arose, His presence was the same
that I have felt and known throughout most
of my life in this one singular way. And
that is the absolute knowing that He had
something He wanted to say to me. I knew
it. But that day, we had many plans and I
knew there was no way I could spend that
necessary time with Him. He knew it too.
However, all day long, that particular
presence of His never departed from me. As
if He was letting me know that it was
okay. And to solidify the knowledge of His
intentions and that He was waiting for me.
This brought me great peace and comfort.
Remember He says, “I am understanding.”
So that morning when I
woke up. His presence was there strong and
clear. I awoke without any effort, and the
energy and life of the Holy Spirit
quickened me to the end that I felt
nothing of needing to wake up first before
I sat down to listen. No, it was instant
and I knew it. So I got up and went into
the living room with paper and pen in
hand. And so long before the sun arose,
and until it did, I remained before Him.
And before you begin
to read it the message I received. I want
to say to you. As Amos said to Amaziah the
priest of Beth-el,
“Also
Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go,
flee, thee away into the land of Judah,
and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
But
prophesy not again anymore at Beth-el:
for it is the kings chapel, and it is
the king’s court.
Then
answered Amos, and said to
Amaziah, I was
no prophet, neither was I prophet’s
son; but I was a herdmen, and a
gatherer of sycamore fruit. And the
Lord took me as I followed the flock,
and the Lord said unto me, Go,
prophesy unto my people Israel. Now
therefore , hear the word of the
Lord.” Amos
7:12-16.
Now also, know the
reason I espoused to use this passage. It
is to apply it’s principle and thought.
And I too never claim to be a prophet.
Neither do I put myself in the class of
Amos or any or the prophets of old. I am
just a simple servant of our God and King.
Whenever I receive a vision, dream or word
from the Lord. There is always a kind of
quaking that comes over me, A fear of the
Lord that spirit, soul and body feels. And
I go my way. I do not even try to think
about it for many days. But after a time,
I begin to pray and think about it. And as
time goes by as the Lord prompts me I will
obey. There is always a trepidation
involved. Because when a word goes out
many people come out of the woodwork to
attack. But on the other hand through
years of obeying the Lord, it has gotten
better.
So here it is. I
prayed quite a bit about it and today is
the day. Do what you want with it. Take it
to the Lord in prayer. I said to the Lord
before I typed this out, “Lord, once I hit
send. It is out of my hands and into
yours.
The
Word that I received…..
Do not worry about
your life, what you will eat, or drink or
the clothes you put on. There’s not a lot
of time left. While everyone is still
saying, “We are living in the last days,”
they should be saying, “We are living in
the last hours.” The fields are ripe for
harvest. But there are very few people
than ever I can use.
The result of these ”
Last hours,” is callousness of heart. The
love of many have waxed cold. The darkness
that is upon all nations is vastly
permeating every threshold. And it is
intensifying. The sense of safety even in
the safest places will vanish. It will
vanish away.
Also,Trump
will be the next and last president.
Once he is inaugurated the door will
shut. He will accomplish My purpose, but
only for a short time, a brief time
while in office. Because his time will
be cut short. Not because he does not
want to. His hands will be stopped. He
won’t be able to go very far for reasons
other than his own. His purposes will be
disappointed. His success will be brief,
short lived, interrupted. He will be
like a once raging fire snuffed out. He
will be stopped short.
But My purposes will
stand. I will demonstrate My will for this
nation. Even he will know Me and fear Me
from the rising of the sun unto the going
down thereof. This will be a time of great
calamity and there will no longer be any
rest.
Those that are at rest
in this world will be the final ones who
will feel it, through they fight it by
trying to get themselves to higher ground.
But even the highest ground during Noah’s
day was as unsafe as the lowest valleys.
For it will be just
like the days of the Flood during Noah’s
days. The floods of hell will creep in
through every threshold. They will enter
into everyone’s doors. The judgments like
Egypt will take down this nation. For this
is as Egypt to Me.
Then will people begin
to look to Me. They will turn their eyes
toward the heavens out of grinding fear.
And I will hear them. Your time on earth
is coming to a close.
The rafters of the
ceilings are falling upon you, the
foundations have sunken. Nothing anyone
will try to hold up or build will stand.
This is the time of
threshing, of beating out My wheat. And
who can or will abide? I know My sheep. I
know who are mine. Make no mistake about
it. There are many of you who think you
stand. You go about as Mine. But your
hearts have never been farther from Mine
than now. Your hearts belong to other
lovers. And your lovers are the things I
hate and what I hate.
I once said that I
will not always strive with man. And I
will not strive with you except to put you
away as a divorced woman who played the
harlot. Remember, if did this to Israel
what withholds me to do the same with you?
What I meant then I mean now.
But remember this, if
you turn to Me, I will turn to you. I will
deliver you. See it as a ship pulling away
from the docks. Many will come in at the
end. And right before I come, those who
will come will have to leap from the dock.
Note
The things I heard
from the Lord are only confirmations of
many of those that are hearing His voice
regarding His closing plans to greater or
lesser degrees. And the word that I
received about Trump caused me to pause
many times before I wrote them down. Until
I understood that I had a choice either to
do so or not. God was not going to force
me. But I realized that in the past, there
were times I didn’t, and in those times I
knew that I stood as an opponent to God
and rose up as His judge and rival.
Then the times that I
did by the sweat of my brow and beating
heart, after I obeyed, the internal wind
and the waves within my soul became “a
great calm.” What the Lord told me about
Trump many will lash out and have many
things to say. However, I believe with all
my heart that this is from the Lord for
one great reason. That we begin to pray
for Trump. For His safety and for the
righteousness of God and His plan to go
forth. This I know. And to make ready our
hearts for the coming of the Lord. For the
Lord is near. And what He will do, He will
do suddenly.
“Now
the Lord of peace himself give you peace
always by all means. The Lord be with
you all.”
