WHO WILL RECOGNIZE THE ARM OF THE LORD?!

My hand is raised as I am about to strike My enemies and shatter their reign, but there are many who have yet to believe and see the justice of My ways. I have heard the outcry from My people and have determined to answer. And yet, because some love the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God, agreement is lacking among the saints.

“Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.” (John 12:42-43)

Blinded by man-centered arguments and earthbound predictions, many cannot see the Love behind My sword. It is only in separating the truth from the lies and the pure from the profane that My righteousness can prevail. And though a false mercy will pull many to the wrong side, I call for discerning minds to take a stand against the enemy behind the curtain.

For My justice is not merely vengeance or retribution against your adversaries, but the salvation of souls and transformation of nations. I do not war as men, nor do I fight to prove My cause. I know the beginning from the end and your enemy has already been defeated. But even as My hand is raised, I am looking for My people to agree with Me and execute My justice through declarations of righteousness and holiness.

“Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.” (Exodus 15:6)

I do not speak of men as My enemies, but the powers behind their masks. For these who feign power are mere puppets of spiritual powers beyond the natural order. It is toward these enemies that My hand is raised and about to come down upon their heads. I will bring down the mighty from their thrones and exalt those of humble estate (Luke 1:51-52). I look for a people to exercise the arm of the Lord through righteous decrees and declarations of Kingdom purposes.

Do you recognize the arm of the Lord? Will you believe and proclaim My truth above the propaganda of men? Who will stand in the gap and agree with heaven? Do not look for affirmation from flesh, for it is only those who judge by My Spirit that will stand on the right side of history and determine the future to come.

    THE COST OF LEAVING

    God is doing a radical work within the Body of Christ that is both painful and costly. A Refiner’s fire is sweeping through the Church that is testing both character and conduct. He is lifting the standard of righteousness and seeing who can pass through the flames as purified vessels. And to bring us through safely, He is calling many to walk away from what was once “home.”

    YES, GOD STILL SPEAKS THROUGH REVELATION

    For those who feel strongly about basing everything on the written Word, what role does “revelation” have in forming our beliefs and practices? Isn’t recorded Scripture enough to determine sound doctrine? How do we receive and understand revelation given by the Holy Spirit? If we have the Word, why do we need further revelation? Let me share the evidence I found that not only proves the power of revelation, but the necessity of it if we are to fulfill our commission...

    PURSUING HIS PRESENCE MORE THAN HIS PROPHETS

    Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.

    SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

    The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.
