Dear Beloved Reader,
We are living in the final time of preparation. As God spoke to me in 2004, We have a one "hour" period of time left to complete this preparation before the hour of testing come upon the world. In the book, "The Anointing of the Moment," I chronicle the beginning of this hour as three 20 minutes of spiritual time to get ready.
Rev 19:7
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Notice the function of the Bride of the Lord is to make "herself ready." This is the season we are in for those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit of God is speaking. These "called out" ones are learning to give the total surrender of their entire being to the Lord to become one with Him as a Bride with her Bridegroom. They are giving their lives to be placed under the rule and headship of our Lord Jesus Christ and His governmental Kingdom.
This requires in each of us to have an intense desire of the purging away of the "self-life" or "sin nature" that desires to live independent from the Lord. Paul writes, " I have been crucified with Christ, never the less, not I, but Christ." This is the present work of the "second period of time God spoke to me as the "Highway of Holiness."
The first 20 minute period was called "The anointing of the moment." This period of a time you could call a great "awakening" in His Bride. She will have a desire to come out from the "religious" of our day, and a Holy Dissatisfaction to come out of "church business as usual." A desire for more of the Lord has awakened within her as she cries, "Draw me Lord, we will run after you, Oh my King bring me into your chambers." SOS 1:4. To those that have responded they will hear the "alluring voice of the Lord to come forth into the "wilderness" for an intense dealing with the Lord as found in Hosea chapter 2:14.
This "anointing of the moment" will awaken the desire of His Bride to be Holy as He is Holy where she will cry, "Take out the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vine," SOS 2:25. This prayer is what will bring us into the second portion of this 20 minute spiritual time period called the "highway of holiness." Isaiah 35:8, "A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray"
This prayer of the Bride to remove the "little foxes" will brings the work of Malachi Chapter 3: 1-7 into working in the Bride's life.""BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts.
But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. Then will the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in ancient years."
Those that have heard the upward call of Rev. 4;1 Come up here, have placed their lives unconditionally under the Lordship of Jesus, will experience an intense dealing of the Lord as He refines them like gold and silver. It is here where the Bride will truly begin to experience that the Kingdom of God is to "reign within her first."
Luke 17:19-21, "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
As the Bride enters onto the Highway of Holiness, she has given the Lord unconditional right to remove every desire that is not the Lord's will for our life. The Lord will now allow a "set of circumstance" that will test this commitment in her heart." Jesus was led into the desert when the Holy Spirit came upon Him for a time of "testing" or "spiritual preparation." Jesus came out victorious over the power of the devil He went in filled with the Holy Spirit, but He came out of the desert "in the power of the Holy Spirit." That which He was filled with became personally worked in Him to become power to come "forth from Him."
That is the present work of the 2nd period of spiritual time of 20 minutes in those who are responding correctly to the Lord. We must not come judgmental toward others who do not see this or even know that this process is underway. We must become a reflection of the Lord during this outworking so those who the Lord desires can desire the same work in their lives the Bride is allowing Him to do in her.
The Bride understands that to be His own forever and ever, she must surrender to this process of correction, discipline and scourging as the Word of God says in Hebrews chapter 12:6 For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. What is the purpose of the Fire of God and our walking on the Highway of Holiness and the result of what God desires to bring forth from our life?
We are living in the final time of preparation, during which we are to become a "prophetic people," or a "prophetic army" of the Lord. Our being "prophetic" goes beyond are ability to prophecy, or any prophetic gifting that we may have been given.
There is a spiritual progression or growth in which we will continue to function in our prophetic gifting, but along with this we will be "lifted" into the "spirit of prophecy." This is what we see in Rev 4:1, "Come up here, so I can show you the things that are to come." Notice, John could not stay down where he was in the Spirit as he sees the Lord standing in the midst of the 7 churches.
He had to come deeper in the Spirit and "go up" to a new spiritual place where He would now experience the "Spirit of prophecy." Revelation 4:1, "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven."
This is a higher realm of prophetic insight than the gift of prophecy and the office of a prophet. This is a place of "rule and authority" that is based upon "relationship with the Lord" and not gifts of the Holy Spirit or 5 fold ministry gifting. "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance." They can operate in believer's lives that don't surrender to the deep process of purification the Lord desires for His Bride.
That is why we have seen "anointed ministers" of God fall short in their personal lives and ministries yet still operated in the "giftings." I believe all of us have fallen short somewhere in this present understanding of the "church age," but it will not be like this on the Third day or in the Kingdom Age.
For the Spirit of Prophecy to operate in our lives, it has to operate through our lives as the very reflection of the Lord Himself. It requires us "opening the door of our hearts to truly sup with the Lord and the Lord with us as found in Revelation chapter 3. It is here those who have been prepared, those who are allowing the Lord to have true governmental right over their entire lives are being prepared to go up to this new place.
It will require these over-comers to become transparent before the Lord, so they can reflect His Glory in them. Rev 4: 6, "Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back." This verse is a two fold picture of the Bride, Full Grown Sons, Over-comers before the Lord. The before the throne as a sea of glass speaks of those who have allowed God to take them on the Highway of Holiness to remove the spots and wrinkles and have become transparent before the Lord. Their self-life has been dealt with and now they can reflect the Glory of the Lord.
The 4 living creatures speaks of the over-comers as now having a "deeper ability" to see, discern and work with the Lord. They have "eyes in front and back." This represents full grown spiritual maturity. They are so prepared by the Lord, "they won't be caught unawares or off guard, because their eyesight has been transformed by the Lord Himself. They have gotten the eye salve in Revelation chapter 3 and now can see as the Lord Himself would see.
In this deeper spiritual position before the Lord and the "one on the throne," the vessel is not seen, but the one who filled the vessel is seen and glorified the Lord Himself. This new spiritual position allows the governmental rule of the Lord to come forth from our life as a Bride with her Bridegroom. This is the fundamental relationship the Lord desires for His Bride to cooperate with Him in His end time plan to bring forth His 1000 year reign.
Jesus prayed for this very work to be done in us so we can come to the deepest intimate love relationship with Him and walk together in the realm of His Glorious Kingdom. His Glory will be seen upon His Bride according to Isaiah 60:1, Arise, shine for the light has come, and the Glory of the Lord shall be seen upon you." This very glory is why the Bride will make herself ready and walk on the Highway of Holiness. Then she will be ready to be a "prophetic witness" with the Lord in the final closing out of the church age.
She will not be walking in the "gift realm" of prophecy, but she will be so one with our Lord that the "spirit of prophecy" will operate freely through her. Rev 19:10 states, "And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Song of Solomon 8:5 speaks of this testimony and union of the Bride an Bridegroom, "Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved?" Verses 10-12, " I am my beloved’s, And his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, Let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, Whether the grape blossoms are open, And the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love"
Beloved, if people are recognizing us and not seeing the Lord in us, we have not reached this spiritual level where our life is now the expression of His life in us. As the moon has no light in it of itself, it was made to reflect the Glory of the Sun. So are we to be like that moon, in ourselves we are nothing, but in the Lord we are "radiate" the life of the Son of God through our life.
We function in the "gift" realm of the prophetic when we yield to the "quickening" of the Holy Spirit and speak the Word of the Lord. Our becoming "the voice of the Lord" through the "spirit of prophecy" is due to our having entered the "higher realm" of identity and relationship with Jesus in which He speaks "through us, as if our body were His body.
John the Baptist had to go through a "set apart" time of preparation in the wilderness to allow this work of God in His life. The fruit of this work in him was that when they asked him who he was he replied, "I am a voice crying in the wilderness." He had become a reflection of the Glory of God that was called to be a voice " to prepare a way for the Lord." His prayer was, " I must decrease and He must increase."
This is the very same work of the Holy Spirit for His Bride as she walks on the Highway of Holiness. The results will be that we will be "transfigured with Glory." The Lord will once again have a 'reflection of His Glory in His Bride who will become a "voice crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord." She will be one with the "spirit of prophecy and BE (by becoming) the testimony of Jesus Christ on the earth before He returns!
Beloved there are three specific moments in time that God is getting us ready to be His Bride and full grown sons. Some have heard the Lord's calling to this and have entered the "anointing of the moment." This moment required one thing. "If any man hear my voice and opens the door and lets me in, I will come and sup with him and he with Me."
There is a remnant of God's people who have allowed the Lord to do this work in this moment and now are experiencing the communion and intimacy with the Lord in a deeper way. This desire for the Lord Himself will release the Baptism of Fire found in Malachi 3:1. It will bring forth the very heart of God's burning love to "finish His course" in our life on the third day. Luke 13:2, "And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’
Those that have responded correctly to the anointing of the moment will experience the Baptism of Fire that John prophesied Jesus would bring in addition to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. John said, "He that comes after me is mightier than I, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) and with Fire (Miracle of Cana, the best wine for last). Matthew 3:11
Those who will overcome their self life in their daily walk and surrender to the flame of God to purify their hearts and motives will be changed from Glory to Glory. They will be ready to be an end-time witness of the Lord Jesus Christ, speaking a word with consequences.
They will become a "prophetic people" who will speak the "creative words of the Lord in judgment and power." They will walk in the higher spiritual place of the "come up here" found in Rev, 4,5 and 12. They will be walk in the "spirit of prophecy as a Testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and the reflection of His Glory filling the earth."
Psalm 149 testifies of this finishing work of a prophetic people:
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
Let us be the Bride of the Lord that is making herself ready! The three 20 minutes of spiritual time of preparation God gave me names for and to write books about them to prepare the Bride.
The first book is written and available at www.flameoffire2007.org resource page called "The Anointing of the moment. The second book is being written now called "The Highway of Holiness." This is the second 20 minute time period. The third book is yet to be written called, "Transfigured with Glory." This is the last 20 minutes of spiritual time before the final hour comes upon the earth.

God bless each of you in His abundant love!
